BRING THE "GOSPEL" DOWN TO EAR Charles Stelsle, © "If a man say, I love God and hateth his brother, he is a liar; for i « he that | loveth not his brother, whom he hath seen, how can he love God, whom he hath not seen?" Let's paraphrase the lattor part of this scripture: "He that careth not for a man's body, which he hath "Seen, how can he care man's soul, which he hath mot geen?" It's" very much easier devote one's self to ths so-called "simple gospel." One does not peed to think very deeply about the social ques tions of the day, it is usually quite apparent that the exponent of the "simple gospel" knows very little | he is about the sin what is troubling the great mass of folks. : To him, the rapidly increas- ing spirit of social' unrest is merely 2 sign of "soclallsm" that must be crushed at any cost. And to his mind the chureh must use every Possible means to create a spirit of word. 'Without soelal unrest there can be no real progress. "The man who 8 sa with | has begun to decay. - And the man who Is eatisfled with a low standard of lite in any particular is an unworthy citizen of this"world as well as the next. The smug preacher of "laisses faire"~hands . off 't wish to be troubled with the Yurning ques- tions of mankind, To him there is And that's true, in a way. At least, it's fundamental. But what makes somé of is anxious is that many a professing churchman. is more con- cerned about sin in the abstract than children with an ment House, for' example. ® . ¢ ¥ i» THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG that he wag not concerned about politics or social service. What about the day when He arose in His wrath and 'literally drove out, with a whip, those who had "made of the house of God a den of thieves?" It's true that men aren't turning church buildings into crooked business houses as they did in Jesus' day, but many of them are doing erooked business under the guise' of churchmen, using the church as a cloak to hide their cus- sedness, which is infinitely worse. Doesn't everybody kmow it, and don't those outside the church who | have suffered most on account of it know it best? And when a gHb-tongued defend- er of such crooks speaks as a repre- sentative of the church, can decent men_feel any{hing but contempt for the preacher and the church? Can any contribution toward the work of the church, or toward a campaign conducted by the chu ~¢h, atone for the wrong-doing of t! se who have acquired it through rooked deals which have caused hc 1est men and Women to suffer infinitely more than the sum of that contribution? * » » What would Jesud say about the men who are honored by the church merely because they are rich and hold positions of influence? Men who are known to be law-breakers --who are social pirates because of their grasping policies that rob men. of their rights and sometimes their lives, and the lives of thelr wives and children? What would Jesus say about such? Would he talk in a roundabout fashion about "the sini of the human heart?"

Jan 13th. -- A | two from this striking chapter: Here is a verse or Woe unto you, Scribes and Phari. sees, = hypocrites! for ye- devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers; thérefore, ye shall receive the greater damnation. Woe unto you, Scribes and Phari- sees; hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. Woe unto you, Scribes and Phari- sees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchers, which indeed ap- pear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones and of all uncleanness, Ye serpents, ye generation of vip- ers, how can ye escape the damna- tion of hell? This doesn't sound very effemin- ate, does #? And isn't it direct and specific? With the life-story of Jesus abounding with incidents telling of Hig daily feeding and healing the people, is it necessary to argue that it is right and christian for the twentieth-century church man to be interested in social service? With His constant demand for social jus. only one problem; namely, "sin.*| of killing little |. tice staring at us if we will but read His words with eyes open, does one néed to plead that the voice of the people in their demand for a square deal is an echo of the voice of Jesus?

Burnette, Consul, Sask., with regard to wheat condi- tions in the Canadian prairie prov. inces, will be read with much inter- est. Mr. Burnette was a former resi- dent of Kingston, a lawyer by train- ing, but went to the great west fif- teen or more years ago to engage in farming. Consul, Sask., Dee. 27---(To the Editor): To those who desire to | dwell for a moment in the elevated regions of ecomomic thought we would propound this query, to wit: Should the agriculturist receive the full value of his products, less the overhead marketing expenses? To this there can be but one answer, M. 8. Burnette Claims That the Grain Exchanges Rob Farmers--Prairie Provinces and that an affirmative one. Has this been the cas: for a hundred years or more? Every one knows that it has not, with the exception of a few countries, such as ' Holland, Den- mark, and Germany, and' some oth- ers. We are writing mainly concern- ing the commodity, wheat, but what pertains to wheat, is equally applie- able to other cereals, such as corn, oats, flax, rye and so forth and to apples, cotton, tobacco, sugar and other products. But to confine our- selves presently to wheat, let us at- tempt briefly to traverse some of the arguments set forth by the grain ex- changes to bolster their claim that they are paying all that the traffic will bear. First, thef#ay that they are giv- ing us fat weight. Is this the truth? Positively not. Any one who has fol. lowed the evidence addressed before the royal grain enquiry board is satisfied that the exchange has given the farmers anything but fair weight. Witness -after witness has testified to the fact that in many instances the agents of the exchange have loaded the weigh scales with bits of iron a-d other contrivances by which the owner of the wheat was cheated out Flour, standard, cwt, | + $3.75 to $4 Aolled Oats 1b, .

We draw a load ot wheat to the elevator; we have on from 50 to 60 bushels drawn by two horses; we are weighed up and the elevator man takes off say two bush- els from the load, and this is called "dockage," and is supposed to- re- present straw, chaff and other arti- cles mixed in the wheat; when our wheat is fairly clean, as the most of it is, we know very well that not more than a bushel should be taken off for dockage. ------ In Grip of Exchange. But what can we do? We are obliged to sell our wheat to satisfy creditors, and we are in the orip of the grain exchange, and we must take their figures whether we want to or not. ! A few years since we had an eleva. tor man by the name of W. Bruce Wilson, at Consul who surprised us by giving us fair weight. He held his place at the elevator about threes weeks, when he got his blue envelope and has not been in the employment of the exchange since. Yes, nothing can be sald favorable to the ex- change in the matter of weight. Second, they say that they glean our wheat and thus get a better price for the same. In many elevators they have what they eall "fanners,"" and woe betide the luckless farmer who consents to have his grain fan ned. Several of us were inveigled to try this out and were fleeced out of not only two bushels but ten, as dur. ing the operation our grain was wel out of our sight. ~ Third, but they say that they mix WHEAT CONDITIONS OF WESTERN CANADA othe Can Supply the With Wheat. manipulators resort in order to throw dust in the eyes of the public, and becloud the dssue with a fog of verbiage. Supply and Demand. ...... Fourth, but the last and crowning argument of these wheat thieves is that of "supply and demsnd." This has been the favorite slogan of ali, capitalistic combinations since the world began, and will continue so to be until the end. As a matter of fact, this great law has had nothing whatever to do with the price of wheat during the last three years, These forty odd exchange corpora- tions have simply got hold of the wheat crop of the west at half price and have the money to hold the same unt!l they can get thelr price. Fifth, but they say, "the great war hés bankrupted the world, and there is no money left with which to pur- chase wheat." Well, now if this be true, then there is an end of the en. tire matter. - But is this the truth? I say no and say it most emphatically. It is not} the truth, and verygtew really be- lieve it is. . \ Now, if it is a fact that the world can no longer buy grain for the want of money, then why is it that the exchange holds onto their grip on the growers with a deathlike tenacity? Every one of the 250 thousand wheat growers in the world is bom- barded with a eircular telling 'him that the grain exchange is one of'the divine. institutions, handed down from Mount Sinai. But they don't stop with this. They scour the coun- try from coast to coast until they 2nd two judges, who will issue {lle- gal injunctions against Mr. Mel- ghen's "Royal Grain Enquiry," and thus throw everything over the_gea- son. If the exchange is what they affirm it is, a divine and beneficent institution, then the natural infer- ence would be that the nfore investi- gation the better, But what~a sublime and mighty farce it all'is, and what a sublime and -mighty farce it makes of our boasted twentieth century eiviliza- tion that such g condition of things could possibly exist. v cn COahada Can Sapply World. But let us now turn to our other aspect of the western , Situation. Wheat has been selling at Consul, Sask., for the last 14 weeks at 71 and 72 cents, and seems likely to stay there. The Canadian press, as a rule, is forever endeavoring to boost the country by announeing that | a gold, copper and silver mine has been discovered here and there; an oil well in such a place; a valuable timber limit at such a poigt, et cet- era. Well, I find no fault with this, and have no criticisms to offer there- on. - But I want to steal a march on said press in one particular, to wit, the value of the prairie provinces to the dominion. 'T have never seen in any eastérn newspaper any arresting allusion to the potentialities of this vast land. We hear much about our present great crop of wheat, well around a half billion bushels; but we hear little or nothing respecting the amount of wheat that these prov- inces could produce, were all the wheat lands intensively and scienti- fically cultivated. Would the readers of the Whig be surprised if I should aver that these threes provinces, if properly cultivated, could supply the world with wheat? I wil to take nothing back. These three provinces, our grain with other varieties, and, thus secure a standard gratn by which the producer is benefitted. Well of all their artifices to mulch the grower this is likely the worst, In order to sell their wheat to the best advantage, these .gamblers in Canada's most important product, wheat, mix frozen, tough and other damaged grain with the better varie- ties, If any good results to the gamblers by this process, certainly no advantage accrues to the produc- er; for having sold his crop he can have no further interest in the same for he is sure that they will never divide any extra profit with him, This argument as to the mixing of grain for the farmers' benefit is only another instance of the namely subterfuges to which . these slirew La Hi Alberta, Manitoba-and SaskatcheWan can' yearly produce, under proper farming, five billion bushels of wheat. Our government is making every effort to prpcure immigrants to occupy the millions of fertile land in the country, How long will it take the eastern mind to grasp the fact that our gov- ernments, both the present and the former one, have pursued a policy with reference to a proper market- ing agency that has been an exact opposite to the one that they should have pursued? Had the 1919 wheat board been continued up 'to the present time, the immigrants to-day would have been falling over one another in their efforts to occupy this wheat granary of the world, It is not only the amount of grain that we can pro- duce, but the quality thereof that at- tracts the attention of the would-be immigrants in the old world. The Hon. T. A, Crerar once said that the best possible immigration agent that a country eould have was a satisfied | and prosperous settler, Biliousness =} Sick Headache | Now Easily Overcome by a ; Simple Home Remedy ' Among the earliest symptoms | are furred tongue and dull heads | ache.

Canada is to-day the premier' country of the wheat producing world; by this we do not mean she produces more wheat than other country, but that she exports © more. Yes, Canada possesses the key that locks and unlocks the wheat doors of. the world. But our rulers have turned their backs upon all this, and have done their best to bankrupt and 'ruin this baste indus try, and thus put this dominion the rocks. But shall no punishment follow such maladministration? Let Mr. Meighen answei who lost his own constituency at Portage' La Prairie in the last election. ' For a truth, "the mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind excesds ing small." Those who favor the grain exe change are forever prating about competition in the grain trade from India, New Zealand, Australia' and tho Argentine, but those who have studied 'the situation well under stand that there will not soon be any serious competition from these quar ters. The drouth is much more severe in southern latitudes than in the forthern, so that it comes that when they raise one crop of wheat in the south, we raise three in the north, f The United States will soon be Ime porting wheat, The only country that can seriously compete with Cans ada in wheat-ralging will be Canada recently "received a w spread and gratuitous advertising to the quality and quantity of her wheat production, at the hands of those Who appeared before the tariff board, of the United States in an effort to increase the tariff on this cereal, Our government has very Wisely broadcasted this report over the sea.
