Stamp Machines Por Twenty Years, How the Hon. Rodolphe Lemieux's administration was exposed in the House of Commons by the Hon. L. P. Pelletier is an interesting etory, The former Postmaster General was caught when Mr. Pelletier showed how a twenty-year moneply for placing stamp vending machines anywhere she liked throughout the Dominion was given to a. Miss Fawns tinder contract, But worse than all ryas' the action of Mr, Lemieux in trying to make the country believe that he did not sign the contract but that it was done by the Deputy Postmaster ,General who stated that he had signed the contract only with the permission of Mr, Le- mieux. The facts of the whole story show the ee-Postmaster General up in a different light to that which he would like to make the country believe he moves in, It bows him a negli- gent minister who afterwards tried to throw the blame upon a, subordinate who was not to blame. Mr. Pelletier managed since be came to office to secure amendments to the contract as made by Mr. Lemieux and The following is taken from the directory of 60 years ago :--- Lucknow---A post village situated on the dividing line of the Counties of Huron and Bruce, on -the Nine Mile River and Northern (Travel Road, twenty-one miles ix mu Walkerton, about twenty miles north of Goder icb, and twelve miles from Lake Heron, The village was first laid out inn. 1850, acid the postc:fiice established iii 1800. It now contains two turning factories, a tannery, grist and slaw mill, two wagon shops, a tin shop, three black smith'e shops, three cabinet shops, four shoe shops, one butcher's shop, a bakery, four taverns, five stores, four carpenters, one cooperage, one watch- maker, a good school, and a church.

D• t being in the grip of La rplentlei s mo- noply. ,,,a ttai�ird "ihe Department of J ustice for an opinion and if he had received a favourable opinion he would have cancelled the contract but the answer was to the effect that the post office department could repudiate the contract but would have to pay the damages, However Mr, Pelletier secured certain amendments in the public interest, • These pillar boxes are used for the sale of stamps and for advertising pur- poses and it is from the latter that the profit comes to Miss Fawns. The bog or pillar can receive letters and an automatic stamp vending machine is part of the make up. At the top is a revolving drum which at night is lit by electricity and on which advertise- ments will be displayed. Under the contract Miss Fawns, the owner of the invention, can place a box wherever she likes in any part of the Dominion. Mr. Pelletier, however, has secured an amendment to the effect that the places where these pillars are to be erected must be approved by the Post- master General. The worst feature of the discussion was brought out by Mr. Pelletier when he drew the statement from NU,. Lemieux that he recognized the legis- lation on the statute book but stated that the contract was not his contract though it was signed by his -deputy while he was in office. It is a remarkable feature that the Deputy Postmaster General was ap- pointed by.a Liberal government and also that he stated the contract was signed only under the authority of Mr. Lemieux. Mr. Pelletier then made a stinging reply to the following effect to Mr. Lemieux. "I can only say that if a deputy minister signed such a con- tract without my authorization, he would not retain my confidence for five minutes. I am sure that the de- puty Postmaster General hats enjoyed the confidence of every Postmaster General under whom he, has served. Surely this is a contract which no de- puty minister would dare to sign with- out first submitting it to his chief. There was in the contract a clause by virtue of which, during this twenty- year period, and even after the expira- tion of the life of the patent, the de- partment had no right m to use any other similar machines. This constitutes an absolute 'monop- ly for twenty -years, and I have suc- ceeded in amending the contract so as to provide that we shall have the right to use a better machine if we desire to .do so, There was another most extraordinary clause in that con- tract. This lady had the right to transfer the contract to whomsoever she pleased, and the Postmaster Gen- eral had to be satisfied with the as- signee. Under this clause we were subject to the possibility of being brought face to face with insolvents and blackmailers. We have succeeded in amending the contract to the effect that no transfer shall be made with- out the consent of the Postmaster General. I must say that this lady has been getting two per cent on the sale of the stamps. Miss Fawns has transferred hir contract to another company, and we have to deal with it as best we can." Robbing. The People. "Grain Growers' Guide :—The Mini- ster of finance, the guardian of the publip treasury, has announced. his intention to hand over $22,000,000 of the people's money to the railway magnates. Mackenzie and Mann are to receive no less than $15,600,000. This meane that every man, woman and child'in the Dominion will be for- ced to give up more than $2 each to two men who have already been made millionaires many times over by gifts of money from the public treasury and land from the public domain. Are the people of Canada content to sit quietly by and allow themselves to be robbed?"

ReadyMade Farms.. Forty years ago our cousins smith of the lino were singing- "Uncle Sam is rich enough to give us all a farm," and thousands upon thousands. of Cauadiana accepted the offer and settled in. the Western States, but now the situation is changed. Uncle Sam has no more farms too give away, andthe people are tre king north and west to the great Provinces of Saskatehswan and Alberts. “The Gr -at Lorne Land" is rapidly fill- ing up. People are flocking in from all over the world, every day two new school houses are opened, the railroads are .being rapidly extended in all direo- tions, the buffalo runs have given place to broad fields of grain, and wealthy cities have grown up where only a few short years ago nothing but the smoke. from the Indians' teepee blurred the evening sky. Two great facts Stand forth promi- nently as one studies the conditions in our great West at present, viz : 1. ---The peoplemust have railroads. 2.—The railroads must have people.
