--And, by the way, who is running
this country, a responsible House or an
irresponsible Senate ?
* * *
—"No aid for the farmers or for the
Empire" seems to be the motto of tbe
Senate as they killed the Naval Biil
and the Highways Act.
• * *
The next time Lauer boasts of i4
love for British institutions, he should -
be reminded that actions speak louder
than words, A dutiful son does not
rob his mother.
* *
--Three important measures stand
to the credit of Hon. L. P. Pelletier;
for the session's work. They are par-
cels post, cheaper cable rates and fast-
er st arnship connection with Great
Britai. It is a record to be proud of.
* * *
-Every enemy of the British Empire
views with satisfaction the action of
the Senate in destroying the naval
aid bill at the dictation of Laurier.
Every friend of the Empire is asham-
ed and discomfeted by the same
action.
* * *
---It is a mean man that will insinu-
ate what he dare not say openly. Bill
Proudfoot not being able to prove his
case (and he is an able lawyer) now
goes about the country asking ques-
tions of men, whose shoes he is not
worthy to unloose, and every question
contains a mean contemptible insinu-
ation,
* *
—So Bill Proudfoot and Newton
Rowell are posing as "political
purists." When did they ever work
at their trade. When thousands of
Liberals turned from the Ross Regime
with disgust, Bill and Newton stayed
with him to the last ditch and sanc-
tioned and defended that terrible
"reign of corruption."
The time has passed when a body
of men irresponsible, and blindly
partisan, can thwart the will of the
Canadian people, The people of Ca-
nada in by -gone years have grown
weary of the Senate. That weariness
is now taking the form of an urgent
demand for the reform of the un-
democratic upper house. ,

. Isn't the poor old Globe with its
Reverend Doctor Editor real funny. •
With the right hand it is writing
temperance articles, advocating Ro-
well's policy of "abolish -the bar," and
with the left hand behind its back is
holding fast to all the money the
Iiquor interests will give it for adver-
tising. On one:page it warns young
then to flee from the cursed .stuff and
on the next page appears an advertise-
ment
with the photo of a young man
quaffing a glass of ale, with the bottle
beside him, and telling him, "Good
health will be his." "You can almost
feel your strength coning back, as
you enjoy a bottle of this rieh, creamy.
old ale." "Before meals, with meals
after meals, take it as you `t>refer. It
will db yen good any time, and all
the time." O'Keefe knows whether
or not it pays to advertise, he does it
to increase the sale of his goods
among young men and the Reverend
Globe assists him. A leading church
paper said recently that there was no
difference between the man who sold
the liquor and the paper that adver-
tised it. Mr. Rowell was a director
and stockholder on the Globe, until
recently, only resi,ing when this
was brought home to him very forcib-
ly and possibly holds the stock yet
indirectly, Such' Idvertisements as ap-
pear in the Globe will do more for the
spread of the traffic than all its
preaching can counteract,

—One of the moat important and
progressive pieces of legislation which
has been put on the statute books for
years and which will mean much more
for the people of Canada was intro-
duced, by Hon. L. P. Pelletier during
the closing days of the session. The
bill provides for the establishment of
a system of„parcels post in Canada.
There has for years been an agitation
for such ameasure is a great step in
advance. 'Mr.,Pelletier in introducing
the bill explained the plan of the
government. It lies been decided to
six the weight Breit of parcels at elee,en -
pounds and twenty-two inches would
be the maximura of length and girth.
combined. It bas been decided to
introduce the zone system but on a
simpler and less complicated Iine
than in the United States. nisch of
the provinces would be regarded as a
zone but the three Maritime Provinces
would be combined to form one zone.
The first zone of all would be within a
radius of twenty .miles of the point
where the parcel is posted irrespective
of provincial boundaries. That would
give protection to local dealers' and
country merchants against the depart-
mental stores in the large cities. The
second zone will be outside the twenty
mile radius but within the boundary
of the province. The'otber zones will
be constituted by the various provinces
tbe Maritimes being combined. The
Government intends to establish as
cheap rates as possible although it is
the intention to make the systemself
sustaining and to put it on a business
Waite It is the intention to put the
system into force by January 1, 1914,
but perhaps before.

—The Government is losing no time
in carrying out its proposal to estab-
lish interior terminal storage elevators
in the West to assist the farmers in
handling'their grain in the fall and to
prevent the recurrence of the annual
blockades, Announcement has been
made that as a starter two elevators
will be built in Saskatchewan, one at
Moose Jaw and the other at Saska-
toon. - They will have a capacity of
three to four million bushels and will
cost in the neighborhood of a million
dollars each. EIevators will also be
located in Alberta, the exact sites not
yet being chosen, but in all probability
one will be at Calgary. In addition to
these interior storage elevators the
Government has decided to erect a
big Government-owned and operated -
transfer elevator at the Pacific Coast
in order to handle the grain business
which with the opening of the Panama
Canal it is expected will flow west by
the Pacific. This elevator will be
ready by the time the Panama is
completed. Another elevator will be
built at Port Nelson to handle the
wheat traffic which will go to Europe
via the H'udson Bay route. This also
will be ready by ,the time the Hudson
Bay Railroad reaches the Bay. ' The
new elevators which it is proposed to
build at once at Saskatoon and Moose
Jaw will be thoroughly modern in
every respect and will be equipped
with all the latest elevator machinery.
The building of the elevators will be
in the bands of the grain commission
which is already preparing for their
erection. Moose Jaw and Saskatoon
have offered sites, which offers will
probably be accepted. This move of
tl a Government is another evidence
of the effort the Government is milk-
ing
ak-
ing to solve the problems of the West
io a practical manner. Hon. R ibert
Rogers, minister of Public Works, has
been taking a particularly deep in-
terest in this problem and it has been
largely through his efforts that the
Government is going into the scheme
on such an extensive scale.
.—The Toronto Globe has come out
in favor of the splendid work being
done by Col, the Hots. Sam Hughes,
Minister of Militia and Defence.
Formerly the Minister of Militia was
attacked most bitterly by the chief
Liberal organ but now a change has
occurredwhen hen the work
of the
Minister is recognized. In a recent
editorial the Globe says —"Col. Hughes
is on the right track when he talks of
building inexpensive drill sheds and
Armouries in the small towns and
making them centres for training.
Theee military gymnasia all over the
country would become centres for the
winter soclal life of the young fellows,
rivalling the hockey rinks, and would
serve to keep the lads out of the
saloone. In summer the rifle range
should be as convenient as the drill -
gym in winter, and all the year round
there should be a good drill sergeant
and rifle instructor at the call of the
company. The essence of the systema
of training should be the acquisition
of skill with the rifle and a physique
that would snake a ten mile match, in
full kit, exercise rather that punish -
merit. "The fuss, Mlle, and featheia
should be cut out. C'uder the cone
ditiotes outlined there would be no
need tolprovide elaborate trappings to
attract the youth of the country to
the militia." That is the Globu'e idea
or how Oanadex'e9 citizen soldiers should
be drilled, Col, ilugbee is on the right
track if he purposes to hold down the
aruount toebe opent to the profeesion-
al soldier and to"devote as t such c -f
the militia appropriation as passible
to teaching young Ceased, to metas

LETTER FROM MR. HALL.
To The Advance
Dear Editor ; —Having reached our
destination in California, safely, agree-
ably
gree,
a 1 promise y to my p omiEe to SQ irony of
your readers, I shall give you a few
lines descriptive of our trip from the
good Town of W ipghane, to what is
gecierally admitted to be the "finest
city in the world" --Pasadena, South-
ern California.
First of all, allow me to acknowledge
with sincere appreciation, the many
kind words and acts tendered myself
and, family, as we were leaving the
town that had been our pleasant home
for over fifteen years, These evidences
of friendship will remains indelibly
fixed upon our memories until the
end of life's journey.
Taking the 8.20 Chicago flyer at
London, our porter soon had our beds
ready, and we reached Chicago at
8 a.m. the next morning. Here we
found our eldest son, A. H. Hall of
Plymouth, Wis., and his -wife, await-
ing us at Dearborn station, and spent
a very enjeeyable day and evening in
their company, ►Dr. McKenzie of the
city kindly called on us at the Kaiser-
hoff hotel, so that the day passed
quickly and pleasantly.
"THE' WORLD IN CHICAGO."
This may seem a strange sub -head-
ing, and explanation is necessary,
which may prove interesting to those
interested in the • missionary cause,
`The World in Chicago" was a great
Exposition and Pageant showing the
advancement of Christian civilization,
and progress of missions throughout
the entire world. It began May 3rd
and closed June 7, with two exhibi-
tions each week day, The writer was
fortunate in being able to attend one
afternoon. Tickets were sold in the
forenoon of each day, and the spacious
Auditorium was crowded each session.
The Pageant was under the manage-
ment of business men of Chicago of
the highest, Standing, who believed
that such a demonstration of what
missions had accomplished would be
of incalculable benefit. Hence they
raised a guarantee fund of $100,000.
Every cent of profit is being turned
over to Missione. "The World in
Chicago" is an answer to the challenge
"Do Missions pay ?" Every heathen
country in the world was represented
by members of the Churches showing
conditions as nearly as possible' under
heathenism, The limited space at my
disposal will not allow of full descrip-
tion, and my stay in the city being so
short, I was only permitted to attend
on one afternoon. The Hall of Re-
ligions bad shrines and' temples of
seven of the great non-Christian re-
ligions—of of the world, bringing before
the eye of the visitor, the world's
multitudinous forms of worship,
pagan rites and heathen superstitions!.
The splendid results of medical mis-
sions were beautifully shown. There
were graphic illustrations of the most
successfu& ways of teaching missions
in the C.urch, in the Sunday School
and in • he home. Populating -all the
scene, impersonating the peoples of
man) countries and interpreting to
th visitors the meaning of everything
• `� , wn, was an army of thousands
f men and women appoint-
ed from Churches of Chicago and
vicinity. This part of the Pageant
was held in the Coliseum. The de-
monstration or the panoramic part of
the Exposition was held in the Audi-
torium. A splendid orchestra, and a
choir of several hundred of the city's
best vocalists rendered the presenta-
tion, which (aside from' the work of
the actors representing the natives)
was chiefly musical. Our description
of each of the four episodes must
necessarily be brief, lest we trespass
upon the Advance's valuable space, as
well as the patience of editor and com-
positors ; —
England, Immediately, the natives
form a cordon around the missionary,
fall on their knees and beg of him not
to leave them. This is effective and
Liviogetone tells Stanley that he can-
not leave Africa till bis work is done,
The parting, as Stanley bids him fare-
well, is most touching, showing aa it
does the devotion of Livingstone to lois
life's work.
WEST EP.SODE--A,. wedding party
on the beaoli of heathen .Hawaii.
The volcano thunders presaging an
eruption and the priest of Pele, the
goddess of the volcano, appears. He
chooses a little child and a young
bride as sacrifices to be thrown into
the crater of the volcano, to appease
the wrath of the goddess. The Chris-
tian queen, Kapiolain, approaches
and tells the people there is no god
Pele, °but only one true God. She
ascends the awful 'volcano, and stand-
ing on the edge of the crater`clefies the
goddess. Being unharmed, she con-
vinces her people there is no Peie,
and they accept the true religion. The
roar of the volcano, and the fire and
smoke of the volcano (produced by
electrical means) were most realistic
and surpassed anything the writer
ever saw.
EAST EPISODE --The scene is laid in
India. A furious mob of natives
threatens the horns of a female mis-
sionary, demanding a young native
child, Rhadamani, whom they wish to
.marry to an old Man. The British
Governor arrives and disperses the
mob. Rhadamani steals in to the
missionary and begs her to save her
from being married to "that awful
man." The Governor and Missionary
are helpless and the child is then seen
in the wedding procession, stretching
out her hands for help. Later, the
child's husband dies. Rhadamani is a
widow and is to be burned alive on the
funeral pyre with her deceased hus-
band. The child widow shrinks from
her awful fate, but finally lays her-
self upon the dead body of her hue -
band, upon the pile of oil -soaked wood.
As the torch is applied, the Governor
with British recd -coats rushes in,
rescues the child, scatters the natives,
and the Governor declares that
"Suttee" shall be forever abolished.
Water is poured on the blazing wood,
and the steam arising from the pile
shows the fires extinguished.
FINAL EPISODE --All the participants
in the _four preceding episodes, with
the grand choir, march the stage in a
grand processional and form a great
tableau, closing the pageant; for the
afternoon. The vast audience then
rises and all join in the doxology.
This, I feel is a very imperfect des-
cription of the grandest scene of the
kind I have ever witnessed, but I trust
it may prove of interest to readers of
the Advance,
OR Wednesday at 9.30 a.m,, we
board the Santa Fe California Fast
Mail, passing through Illinois, south-
ern Iowa, northern Miesouri the first
day. , At Fort Madison, we cross the
Mississippi, and ere we close our eyes
at night have reached Kansas City.
The section of country traversed was
magnificent agricultural land. West-
ern Kansas also has fine farms. La
Plata is the highest point between
Chieager and Kansas City. Just be-
fore we reach the latter city, we cross
the great bridge over the Missouri,
three-fifths of a mile long and of
immense height.
At Holly, we enter Colorado, a
plateau 4000 feet above the sea. The
Arkansas valley from Garden City to
La Junte might be compared to a 200
mile green ribbon stretched across a
gray prairie, Its alfalfa fields, utelon
patches, beet sugar acres, and thrifty
towns are proofs that irrigation paye.
Sugar factories are seen at Rooky
Ford, Lunar, Holly, Swink, Garden
City and Sugar City. As we continue
westward, the altitude rises and soon,
though 200 miles distant, Pike's Peak
is seen. We are approaching the
Raton range of the Rocky Mountains.
Two monster mountain engines are
required and soon we reach the Raton
Pass, the first of the mountain passes
reached, Here aa we touch a height
Of 7,005 feet, we plunge into a tunnel,
and then begin the descent of the that

At La Junta, we take a sbarp turn

well, and the passengere, wore looking
forward only three-quarters of an hour
to their destinations, when as we enc
tered the station yard of North.
Pomona, a succession of sudden jars
and jerks were felt, and the applies,
tion of the brakes caused some cons
sternation. Excitement rose high,
until the ex -editor Galled out "Keep
Cool," Looking out, we saw the first
of our big mogul engines on its side in
the ditch, the second also a wreck,
express and baggage cars twisted and
telescoped, while the crude oil used. by
the engines, poured out and down the
track a deep, black creek, a striking
contrast to the beautiful orange
groves with golden fruit alongside
the track. We were possibly a quarter
of a anile from the station, slowing
down to 25 miles an hour when, a frog
or broken rail did the damage in the
twinkling of an eye. quick as thought,
the engineer threw on the air brakes
and fastened down his whistle to
bring the fire department, which was
immediately on the scene in auto
trucks. Fortunately the oil and wreck
did not take hire, and the engineers
and firemen saved their lives by jump-
ing but were hurried off to the hospi-
tal where they received attention.
Two men in mail cars and baggage
cars were bruised and cut, but no
lives were lost. It was an awful
wreck, and as the passengers witness-
ed the two magnificent engines, ex-
press cars, mail and baggage cars
wrecked and a total lose, they gave
expression to their gratitude that
providentially no lives were lost. We.
were taken back 30 miles to San
Bernardine, until a track could be
built around the wreck, and at four -
thirty p.m , nine hours late, we reach-
ed our destination. An auto soon '
brought us to our present home,
grateful at having passed the long
journey and through a railway wreck
without the slightest injury. Many
Wingham friends who were anxious
as to ,how Mrs. FL would stand the
trip, will be pleased to know that she
arrived not one whit the worse, and '
though tired, is well.
We are at resent in one of J.
Herbert's Hall's beautifully furnished
homes, enjoying every comfort, in
what is generally acknowledged to be
an ideal city, geographically, morally
and also as regards climate. It is
known as the Crown of the San
Gabriel valley, and deserves all the
good things that have been recorded
of it.
Apologizing for the length of this
article and thanking you for space
afforded.
I remain, faithfully.
