I FREEDOM of the Press Ge ¥¥ hat precisely is meant by that famâ€" iliar phrase, ‘freedom of the press‘? £ undamentally it is not a special priviâ€" lege reserved for newspaper publishers. It is rather a phase of a much larger freedomâ€" the freedom of all men to speak their minds openly and without fear. The press claims no right which should not belong to every citizen in a democracy, but freedom of the press is an allâ€"important part of this larger freedom ; because, under modern conditions, the press is the principal agency by which the ordinary man receives the information he needs to judge the actions of his rulers and make up inik: + rmmainap +d year in Canada and $3.00 year in per guunnm his mind on public issues. Without newsâ€" morfithon}::uedndhlhdfddd ones, he is in the and helpless. An unâ€" fettered press is therefore one of the essenâ€" tial bulwarks of a democratic world. 1t any proof be needed, it is provided by thereeordofthe?ucistandxuim- ships. Rigid control of all sources of public inâ€" formation, and especially of newspapers, was the cornerâ€"stone mtwhieh those regimes were founded. Without it, they could never have held power.

The Church teaches a person to make the most of himself. It warns people against spoiling themselives by some error of temper or selfâ€" indulgence. It teaches honesty and brotherly love, and how to live with our neighbors in hgrnonyand puee.!tinltruetsonehowto dufinnishhetmnghtndwmg.ltuoâ€" vides the faith which enables a person to face up to sorrow and distress. In Canada we want men and women of strong character. We cannot hope to become a great nation unless our people possess this great quality. We should support the Church and its work. If, through our humble efforts, the Church prospers and remains strong, we need not fear for the future. HAYING IS "Hard, Sweet Work" . . . .

In 1892 the writer saw Pawnee Bill‘s Wild West Show in front of the grandstand. There were equesâ€" trian feats and shooting from horseback at glase mwwmw.mmmm in the Deadwood stage coach, drawn by four horses, mm:mmmeW‘ mounted Indians who took pot shots at the driver and his mate, the guard, who returned the fire with his trusty Winchester. The coach was of course, carrying a mythical horde of gold dust from the diggings in the Black Hills of Dakota. Things looked black for the stage until a troop of yelling scouts and cowboys dashed up on fleet steeds and with fusillades from their sixâ€"shooters put the redmen to flight. ‘That was a superâ€"rodeo for the frontier was less than twenty years away and many of the particiâ€" pants had seen the real thing. ___ Some oldâ€"timers still living took their first ride in an electric street car at the Exhibition. Opened in 1884, a line ran from Strachan avenue into the grounds, and it is claimed to have been the first commercial electric railway in the world. The single car supplied with current from a local steam engine and generator ran inside a fence bcause instead of an overhead wire a charged third rail was used. A ride cost ten cents but the timorous were held back, fearing an electric shock. The car ceased to be a novelty in 1892 when the trolley came to Toronto In those days people who talked of flying machâ€" ines were considered demented. Had not learned scientists written "proving" that humans would nevâ€" er fly? But ballcooning was different and a daily balloon ascent was one of the features of Exhibiâ€" tion. From a central point where crowds roggled and shuddered in anticipation, a daring meronaut in spangled tights sat a trapeze hanging from a moorâ€" ed balloon. At a signal the gas bag shot upward, and as it soared the aeronaunt did stunts on his bar and let loose showers of his cards which fluttering to earth were eagerly grabbed by the crowd. At a height of about one thousand feet the areoâ€" mm.m“mummu bag and let loose ths parachute with which he desâ€" cended. Sometimes the wind carried him quite a disâ€" tanc from his starting point and if one is not misâ€" taken he more than once came down into cold Lake Ontario where boats were waiting to rescue him.
