NOTES AND COMMENTS
Great Britain is compassed to -day by
what may well be said to be a galaxy of
young nations, and amonget those
daughter nations Canada, all consent,
holds first rank. I don't pretend that
this, as the culmination of the last
twelve years, can be claimed as the
work of the Liberal party in twelve
years, It has been the work of genera-
tion after generation of Canadians, but
I think I can olaim that when the pages
of history are unfolded to the eyes of
future generations it will be regarded
that though the generations that have
passed have iaid the foundations, the
supreme honor of crowning the edifice
was reserved to the Administration
which yon placed in power in 1896, the
mandate of which you renewed in 1900
and in 1904, and whish mandate, I be-
lieve, you will also renew as Boon as the
bugles sound the call of duty at the
polls. I don't make any predictions as
to the victory. I leave that to our op-
ponents. They will do as they have
done inh
t e past, ,and we will do
p as
we
have done. They crow before election
day. We commence to prow after oleo -
tion day. -Sir Wilfrid Laurier.
In a reoent issue The Winnipeg Free
Press says editorially: -"In a voice
which sounded as good and pious as if
he were speaking the Gospel troth, Mr.
Ames made these statements in his
address at Selkirk Hall Iaat Tuesday
evening:-
" 'Up to 1900 the lands of the Cana-
dian went were still in the hands of the
nation.'
,The speculator oame, saw and
conquered.'
"'To -day the speculator holds large
areas of our agrioultural lands, wafting
for his prise.'
"'Let restitation be your watch
word in the next campaign,' exclaimed
Mr. Ames, 'and do not stay your hands
until this has been accomplished.'
"For sweeping falsehood this accusa-
tion againet the Liberal Government by
Mr Ames, that the lands of the Cana-
dian west have been transferred truce
the ownership of the nation to the own-
ership of speculators through the agency
of the Government, stands almost uupre-
oedented ae an achievement of platform
hardihood."

A WONDERFUL RECORD.
Do the business men of Canada Butte
appreciate the wonderful record of the
Canadian Portaihoe ander Liberal ed
ministration? Hon. Rodolphe Lemieux,
the I'ortmaeter General, pat the facts
to most concisee form at the great
Niagara Palle mooting last week. The
last year of Conservative administration
produced a defoit of $700,997. There
has been Mt deficit soon 1908, and last
year the eurplus. was $1,100,000. How
has We been secured? By so reducing
the rates of postage as to popularize
the service in every branch, ° Here are
the rates of postage on various olasees
of moil zttatter under Conservative and
Liberal rule: --
Letters to Great Britain and the
empire generally --Conservative 5 Dents;
Liberal, 2 °auto.
Letters to Canadian points - Conserva-
tive, 8 oents; Liberal, 2 Dents.
Lettere to United States -Conserva-
tive. 3 cents; Liberal 2 cense,
Drop letters for city delivery -Con-
servative, 2 oents; Liberal, 1 cent,
Papers sent to Great Britain by the
publishers -Conservative, 8 cents per
pound; Liberal, one quarter of 1 Dent
per pound.
Behind all this comes the introduction
of free rural mail delivery, That is the
wonderful story of the Canadian Poet
office under Liberal rule. Does it look
as if graft had any place there?
S -COULD BE iN FRIENDLY
HANDS.
Since Sir Wilfrid said at Sorel that
he would like a renewal of the oonfi-
denoe of the people that he might be
enabled to finish his work on the Grand
Trunk Paoifio, his critics have, says the
Montreal Herald, been at a good deal of
a loss about what would happen in case
hie friendly and sympathetic direction
of that work were to be removed Some
are frankly hostile to the projeot; some
find fault with the contrast and the cost,
but do not go to the length of ream -
mending that anything ought to be done
to stop the work; one or two, wiser
than the rest, hold that the work must
go on. "If the Conservative party
should succeed, at the election," says the
Toronto Newa, "it will not be so unwise
as to seek to block the construction of
the Grand Trunk Paoifio Railway, to
embarass its financial operations, or to
alter prejndioially the contract whioh
reoeived the sanction of the Canadian
Parliament."
Mr, Borden himself said a year ago
that the oontract must be lived up to
"in good faith according to its terms,"
but he and his friends have since done
all they could to cast discredit upon the
projeot, to exaggerate its probable cost,
that it is an undertaking beyond onr
strength, and to destroy public confi.
deuce in the commissioners ander whom
it is being oonstruoted. To this end ser.
tain of them tried to frame oharges for
Major Hodgins,to support, charges with
which the Major retuned to have any-
thing to do, his refusing leading to et de-
finite breach. One would prefer to
beiieve that Mr. Borden wculd, and
could, live lap to his idea of last year,
but it is fairly open to question whether
he could hold at bay the forces about
him which would make for a manage.
ment of the enterprise that would lead
to many embazrassments, financially
and otherwise.
Tho only safe course is to leave Sir
Wilfrid where he can himself bring the
work to completion. There has been
altogether too mush political passion
aroused at one stage and another of the
progress of this work to make it at all
safe or proper that during the really
critical period it should be at the mercy
of men who not merely opposed it, but
who did all in their power to prevent its
ever being started.
A GREAT SOON TO FARMERS.
Hon. Rodolphe Lemieux, Poetmas-
ter-General of Canada, mads a most
important announcement at the dem-
onstration to Sir Wilfrid Laurier at
Niagara Falls last week. It was that
a Syatem of rural mail delivery would
be at once introdnoed into Canada, and
extended as the revenues would war-
rant. This will be great news to the
farming oontmnaity, and form a fitting
climax to the splendid management of
postal affairs under the Liberal admin-
istration: Mr. Lemieux said:
'.A5 I have often stated in Parlia-
ment, it is a splendid system, whish
I admire greatly, and winch os)n be

Isaiah y:11-23.
Golden. Text -,-Wine is a meeker;
strong drink is raging. Prov. xx:1
Verse 11 -How many men do you
keiow in this commtfnity whose moral
portrait is drawn in this verse; that is,
tie :se wbo are habitual druukards?
Are there still those whose chief em-
bitton ie to get drunk?
What are the chief "woes" •of the
drunkard (I) To himself (2) to his
fenaily (3) To the community?
Verse 12 -Is it a fact that drinking
no a still line string music, and, if so
haw do you account for it?
Is it either possible or probable that
a man given to drink, can also "regard
the work of the Lord?"
Verse 13 -Upon whish kind o; know-
ledge does the prosperity of an indi.
veinal, or of a people, most depend,
moral and spiritual, or scientific and
Oo i umeroial?
What was the general oause for the
var'ous oaptivities, and national nets-
forranes of aaoient Israel?
Verso 14 -To what extent does the
lonlevity of an individuat,or of a nation,
dap And upon moral oondnot?
Can the "gory" and; the "multitude"
and the men who 'Irejoice" be increas-
ed most in this country with liquor
being freely sold, or under prohibition?
Verse 15 -If a "mean" man, that is
one of poor ability and little influence,
indulges in drink, and if a '"mighty"
man, that ie a man of great ability and
inflnenoe, indulges in drink, what will
be the effect of such indulgence, and
will there be any difference in the effect
upon the two men?
Verse 17 -In what retpeot are the
upgement" and the "righteousness"
of God "exalted," or seen, in the ter,
rible results of the liquor traffics?
Verse 17 -What is the difference ill
the economic results of money made by
farming, and money made in the liquor
traffic?
Verses 18 -19 -Is it ever possible for
good personal results to some from bad
deeds?
Is there any need to experiment with
or put to the test, the moral preoepts of
the Bible, seeing they are based upon
the experience of mankind/and the wis-
dom of the ages?
Is it ever possible for a man or a
nation to escape the natural results
of wrong doing?
(This question must be answered
in writing by members of the club.)
Verses 20.21 -If a man does that
whish is essentially wrong, and he
thinks itis right, does his opinion change
the uatnral results of the act? For illus-
tration, a mother gives her babe, in the
night, prussic acid, thinking it to be
oaaror oil.
Verses 22.28 -How should we esti-
mate the moral oharaoter of those who
sell intoxicating liquor as a beverage?

that purpose.
"I have therefore determined, with
the consent of my oolleagaea, to equip
all existing .mail routes in Canada
with rural delivery boxes, under reg-
ulations to be published and enforced
shortly. At the junction of every oon-
(easion line with the .main road the
people will also be given the privilege
of having boxes looated for the receipt
and collection of their mail, as desired.
"The department has made all ar-
rangements for the carrying out of
the scheme, and will at once proceed
to inaugurate it This eystom of rural
mail delivery can be introduced at
a cost which the country oan afford
to pay. Is will evolve and expand
gradually, with the growth and de-
velopment of Canada, and at a ratio
of Dost that will not prove burden-
some. Is ie, on the whole, a great
postal reform, whish will be bailed
with delight by the farmers of Can-
ada."
The intention is to utilize the preen
ent delivery system between railway
points and interior pcstoffioes. It is
expected that this will cover 50 per
cent. of the rural population. For
instance, in going from the railway
centre "A" to postoffice "B," not con.
nested with a railway, the mail
carrier, instead of keeping the mail
in bulk, will distribute eaoh farmer's
mail at the box in front of his farm
that borders on the direot route to
postoffice "B," jest as a city Ietter
carrier does.
For those on side lines, not on the
route to "B" postoffioe, their private
mail boxes will be arranged at the
Dross roads, perhaps a dozen or
twenty of them at one point. The
carrier, reaohing there, will distribute
the mail in each box in turn, and the
farmers will Dome here for it, instead
of having to go two or three or perhaps
four, miles to postoffioe "B."
Thus those living on the route of
the carrier, which will be so arranged
as to cover as much territory as pos.
sible consistent with rapid delivery,
will have the mail brought to their
doors The other "side lines" will go
to one of the central points where
boxes are grouped, perhaps half or
one and a half miles away. Regis-
tered lettere will be taken to post -
office "B," but a notice of this will
be left in the owner's box, so that ha
will know.
THE PEOPLE'S SAVINGS,
Twelve years ago the number of
postoffice savings banks in Canada was
755; in 1906 they had inoreaaed to 1,011:
The amount a the credit of open ao-
oonnts at the end of 1896 wall $28,932,-
930; in 1906 It had grown to $45,736,483
The number of open accounts increased
from 126,442 al the end of 1896 to 164,-
542 at the (lose of 1906. Daring the ten
years a total of $4 462 371 was transfer-
red from Government savings banks to
postoffice Savin e
bank
s, yet the amo'nnt
at credit of depositors in the former de.
creased only from $17,866,889 to $16,.
174,124,
Even more satisfactory is the ',hew-
ing made by the ohartered banks, In -
eluding deposits of the fedetat and pro•
'Owlet governments, the total amount

from $213,211,996 to $709,975,274; the
assets from $320.937,643 to $945.688,708,
and the liabilities from $232,338,086 to
$769,026,924,
These figures give an idea of the ex-
pansion of trade, the growth of wealth,
and the diffusion of prosperity under
Liberal rule,
ONTARIO'S CROPS
The following statistics of the princi-
pal field crops of Ontario for 1908 show
the acreage, as computed from individ-
ual returns made by- farmers to the
Ontario Bureau of Industries, and the
yield as estimated by a large and exper-
ienced stat! of eorrdspondeute, embrac-
ing every townitaip. The wheat area is
practically the same as that of 1907, but
the yield is estimated at nearly a million
bushels in excess of the final returns of
last year. The area in barley shows a
shrinkage of about 5 per cent:, and is
over emillion a
ba
bushels short or
t ofh
G e crop
01 1907.
The poor crop of oats in 1907 caused a
falling off in the area of 1908 of over 5
per cent., or 158,000 sores; the yield,
however, shows an estimated increase of
about 15,000,000 bushels, the yield per
acre being 7 bushels In excess of 1907.
and equal to the average of the previous
26 years. The area in rye and peas
show substantial increases, but they are
still below the annual averages, The
bean crop differs but little from that of
1907, There is a slight redaction in the
hay area, but the yield harvested a
quarter of a ton to the acre over the
light crop of last year.
LATE SUMMER.
tBaltimore American.)
How glorious are these later days, wren
summer's pr.^ -sing by,
And the colors of the coming fall show
in the August sky,
When in the heat of morn and eve there
comes a cooling breeze,
And richer, deeper grows the green upon
the branching trees,
And fruit begin to mellow, and the gor-
geous flowers bloom,
As though the summer sought to deck a
garlanded fair tomb.
Whose beauty would keep thoughts of
love alive with fond regret,
And leave a trade of loveliness and
brightness with us yet.

Do You Think That You Could Count
Up to a Trillion?
Sento 1}. rsons openly manifest on
aversion to mathematics, Can they
be censured when such problems as
these aro presented to view?
One little statement that set many
people to thinking about their liniita-
tions drat appeared in a publication
some twenty-five years ago. It sim-
ply stated, "You cannot count a
trillion." Many tried it, but all gave
up before counting very long. Sup-
posing you counted without atopprng
at the rate of 200 every minute of the
day and night, how long would it
take? You could count 12,000 an
hour, 288,000 in a day, 105,102,000 in
a year of 3651-4 days. Since a billion
is a thousand million, it is a simple
matter to see that it would take near-
ly ten years to reach that sum, and
since a trillion is a thousand billion
it does not require a great stretch of
the imagination to see that we could.
never reach that amount unless we
had in the neighborhood of 10,000
years to devote to the task,
A woman of social ambitions onto
remarked to an acquaintance that she
had eighteen intimate friends whom
she wished to have to dinner, but as
her table seated only Dight she could
have only six guests at time. It
was suggested that oho invite them
in rotation, changing the guests until
each had been to dinner with all of
the others. At the first dinner she
announced her plan, and one of the
guests asked if she had counted the
number of dinners she wonid have
to give before she had made the com-
plete rotation, When he learned
that she thought twenty or thirty
dinners would answer he laughed,
took a pencil from his pocket and
after figuring a few minutes told her
that it would require 18,564 dinner
parties to finish her plan. At the
rate of 300 each year this would re-
gnire nearly sixty-two years. The
plan wits abandoned. He then sug
Bested that she see how many ways
she .could seat the eight people around
the table, and she was ready to try
that as well until told that it was
possible to arrange 40,320 seatings
without having any two alike.
Suppose six horses are entered in
a race. If some one should offer to
bet that you Could not tell the exact
order in which the six horses would
cross the tape you would probably
not care to take the bet unless you
were given good odds, say 50 to 1 or
75 to 1. Many would be willing to
bet under such conditions. 13ut their
chances to win would be exceedingly
small. Any one of the six horses
might be first; et'iy one of the other
five might be second. Of the other
four any one might be third. There
would be three choices for fourth
place, two for fifth and one for sixth.
Now, since the same possibilities
would remain, no matter how we
started, it is easy to see that the
total number of a t i r gements must
be 6x5x4x3x2x1, or 720, so that the
bettor has exactly one chance in 720
of winning, provid.zi Ise knows ab-
solutely nothing about the horses. If
he takes odds of 100 to 1 he is almost
certain to Tose, for he is really the
one whb has given the odds 7.2 t0 I
even at 100 to 1,
Trees and Lightning.
There is a popular belief that cer-
tain trees are less likely than others
to be struck by lightning and that
during a thunderstorm it is quite safe
to stand under a beech, for example,
while the danger under a resinous
tree or an oak is respectively fifteen
or twenty tunes greater. This is dis-
puted by Dr. A. W. Borthwick in
Notes of the Royal Botanical Gar-
den of Edinburgh." The doctor says
that no tree is immune, since light-
ning will select one species quite as
readily as another and the beech
quite as frequently as any other
species. Apparently the taller trees
in a neighborhood are the ones most
likely to be struck. Contrary to what
is believed by some people, the cells
are not "ruptured or tarn by the
formation of steam, as might happen
if the heating by the electric current
was very great. The cells collapse
and shrink up, but are never torn."
The root system does not seem to be
ever damaged by lightning.
A Thorough Sportsman.
Sir Thomas Lipton has other hob-
bies besides that of yachting. He is
very fond of most outdoor amuse-
ments, and has spent. hundreds of
thousands of pounds on sport in vari-
ous forms, but is said never to have
made a bet in his life. Among his
pet pursuits are billiards, cricket,
golf, and motoring. The theatre he
does not particularly fancy, and as
for reading he confines himself ehief-
ly to magazines' and newspapers. He
believes in plenty of fresh air, and to
avoid sleeping in town will often
drive ten miles at one in the morning
to Osidge, his place at Old Southgate,
in Middlesex. He is also a keen
gardener.
Royal Golfer.
Hing James II. was a fine golfer in
the sense of fondness for the game,
and in other senses too. He it was
as Duke of York who, when ehalleng-
ed by two English noblemen at the
Scottish court to a match, the duke
to take any partner whom he could
find, took to his side an Edinburgh
shoemaker named John Patersone,
The duke and Patersone won, and the
Ietter, being given half the stake,
built for himself a house, which is
to be distinguished by the record
upon it in Canongate to this day.
The Stat Chamber.
The old tribunal which figures se
extensively in the history of Charles
I. as the "star ehamber" is said to
have received the name from the fact
that the roof of the apatttnent in
which the tribunal sat wne decorated
with in gut stars. Another explanation;
it took its name from the
"std," or Jewish bonds, which at
one time had been kept in it.
