BRADBURN The Tailor TION COUNTRY WON'T FOR: MORE, : L. Ottawa, June 10.-—Premier ‘Borden! told ‘the. dele — represeitting the Presbyterian Assembly which ing the suppression of .race track gambling, that as the government had| passed through parliament everything| in this direction which the country would stand, that he could not under- take to make further reconimenda- tions in this direction. Such was. the report of Rev. Dr. Reid to the ¢on- cluding session of the Presbyterian; General Assembly this afternoon. Rev. Dr. Reid stated that twelvé “members of the assembly waited on the prime minister and Hon. ©. J. Doherty, minister of justice, and rag case was presented to them. Pre Borden pointed out-that any ssoaaaiae | proposed by the government must.be such as were likely to be_indorsed by the country. In this ditection the government} had gone as far as they could. Any further- restrictions woul result. in the biM not meeting-approval. —_ Premier Borden continued, stated Dr. Reid, that already measures re- stricting gambling had been passed, and he thought they had undertaken as many restrictions as they could get through Parliament. It was even doubtful if the measures they had passed would pass the Senate. However, continued Dr. Reid; the premier promised to give the matter his serious and sympathetic attention. The last remark caused much laugh- ter, and one minister remarked: “That is the usual line.” “This seems to be considered a joke,’ continued Dr. Reid, ‘‘but in any case the premier stated he would do the best he possibly could.” Rey. Dr. Shearer, Toronto, moved that the assembly: regret to learn the prime minister fears that parliament would not support the complete sup- pression of race track gambling, and that the assembly recommend that the social service committee undertake @ campaign throughout Canada, so that public feeling would demand the clearing out of the disgrace of ex- pressly legalizing what are in fact common gambling houses. The motion was passed without dis- cussion. Do White Robins Change Their Color As They Grow Older > In a brief letter to The Advertiser, in which he refers to the criticism and disbelief which arose last year, when.he wrote to the newspapers ing of the advent to his bird sanctuary near Kingsvi¥e, or a white robin, “Jack Miner’ makes an offer to in- troduce these doubters toa young robin that is perfectly white, and has the pink eyes usually seen in albinos. At least he undertakes to do the chaperoning of the robin at the inter- view ‘if the robin will stand for it.’’ Mr. Miner says: “This young robin is about six weeks old and as white as the driven snow, With white feet, pink eyes and cream-colored beak. We have named it Snowball, and it is so tame it feeds from our hands,’ but it can fly over the clouds when it sees fit. “I have written to a government official asking if there is any place where this bird could bé kept so that the unconvinceables may have fuli opportunity to become convinced, and that free-thinking people may have a chance to study it and find out whether these white robins change their color as they grow older. “Personally, I believe they change, for this spring there are old birds bere about the color of Silver Spangled Hamburg chickens~’ Fined $200 and Costs— Walkerton Times—George Dreis- inger, the Hanover undertaker, who ran into and upset John Gregg’s Ford car on the Durham road, two miles east of Walkerton last week, and from whose auto a partly filled bottle of whiskey was unearthed by Inspector} White and Constable Ferguson just after the accident, pleaded guilty be- fore Magistrates Tolton and Richard- son in the town hall here on Friday afternoon to havi:g booze in other than a. private dwelling house and was fined $200 and costs, or a total assessment of $216 for the offence. On the charge of driving a car while under the influence of liquor, he en- tered a plea of “not guilty.” and on the request of his solicitor, Mr. O. E. Klein, the case was enlarged until Friday afternoon next to enable the defense to secure witnesses. r. D. Robertson, K. C., is acting for the prosecution in the affair. Encourage Pure Bred Sires— The Ontario Department of Agri- culture are offering $600.00 in spec- ial prizes at the Canadian National Exhibition, to demonstrate the value ef pure bred sires.

But if the churches were not in the! world to teach honesty there would be no honest men.:.‘‘For our. own sakes,-for our children’s sakes, for the nation’s sake,” he cries, “‘Let us business men get behind the churches: and thelr preachers.” Even from a business "stand polit, Christianity is a sound investment. The world. owes Christianity a debt of gratitude which it does not care to recognize. The stability, and the reputation of a nation for honesty, always corresponds with the percent- age of citizens who are Christians. In the last analysis everything de- pends upon the character of the peo- ple. Dishonest men will find some way of evading their obligations. Bonds, stocks, mortgages, covenants, agreements and promises of every kind are all regarded as “scraps of paper’ by men who are deliberately dishonest. Society could not. exist except for the honest men and wo- men in the community and the pub- lic opinion created by them which compels others to play fair. That sense of honesty which holds society together originated in Christianity, and nowhere else. The church igs not an institution apart from the people. It is an or- ganized body of people who profess to be Christians. They are the best people in the world. Real Christians are “‘the salt of the earth.” If they were removed, society would decay, and the world would revert to pag- anism. Dishonesty and every other form of unrighteousness would flour- ish. Christianity deserves all the credit for’ all the purity, honesty, goodness, truth, righteousness, jus- tice, mercy and love that is in the world. ~The Christian church was the first and i8 the only organization that teaches how people c be made hon- est. The church alone goes to the root of the matter. The church de- clares that it is necessary for a man to have “‘a clean heart and a right spirit."" The Christian standard of morals is higher than any other. The history of the Ages proves that her message is true and hundreds of thousands of sincere men and women can give direct evidence in support of the Christian position. Even anti- Christian critics expect Christians to live purer and holier lives than those who make no profession of faith. The extent to which Christianity has bene- fited the world can not be estimated. No religious survey can ever give Christianity justice. The church of Christ indirectly affects the lives of millions of people who refuse to ac- cept her teaching, and as a result of her influence social and political con- ditions are {mproved even in coun- tries that have deliberately rejected the Gospel. The Christian Ministers have the best case that ever was pre- sented to the court of public opinion. That court is not impartial and there is no reason to believe that it ever will consider the case on its merits. Christianity is the greatest possible national asset; it is a sound proposi- tion; a God-sénd to men and women of every walk of life in every part of the earth, and, best of all, the Chris- tian message is Divine, pointing out the only way of salvation. The man who refuses to get, not only “behind,” but “in” the Church fs both illogical and obstinate, and the man who re- fuses to get behind the Ministers of the Gospel must be mad. A Long C The local telephone office at Clin- ton put through a call to Winnipeg recently, getting through in eighteen minutes and making perfect connec- tion. The reason for it was because a citizen of Clinton wished-to com- Municate with his brother to find if he could come home to the funeral of his father and concluded the tele- phone would be the most satisfactory. Verily the world is growing smaller when one can sit comfortably in Mitchell and converse with a friend in Winnipeg.

John's truck, when empty, is said to weigh 8600 lbs., and after loading about 20 or so logs onto it, as is his wont, Jt starts on its road-damaging| career, making the highways over which it travels, look as if the Ger- mans had been shelling it at long range. Scores of culverts have been smashed in, and the damage wrought in Brant township alone from Dir- stein’s machine would run into thous- ands of dollars, without taking into calculation the risk to human life that such a cut-up roadway entails. For the privilege of carrying on this work of destruction John pays a mot- or license to the government of | $75.00, and hence is able to laugh at; an outraged public as they denounce} his road demon. At a time when good roads are claimed to be the great- est asset any municipality can have,! it looks the height of folly for Brant! t to have this destructive rig cutting | up and practically destroying the chief highways in the northern end | of the township. ‘The Brant coun-, cil should take this matter up at once! with the government, and seek to: make Dirstein financially liable for all damages he does to the township highways, and'if John doesn’t want he will pul his rig off the roadway. or at least limit his loads to some- thing that will leave the highways in fit shape for somebody else to travel over after he has passed. The thing, as it now stands, is altogether too raw, and is an imposition that the travelling public should not be oblig- ed to tolerate any longer.

It was estimated that bruises on - ‘hogs caused by clubbing, prodding, whipping and other forms of mal treatment while loading, unloading” or in the yards, entailed a yearly lone of over 15,000,000 pounds of m | Putting the loss in another way it meant the needless waste of over. 80, 000 hogs-or 575 carloads valued at | $3,500,000. These figures relate to the United States, and cover the fifty-three larg— est marketing centres in that .cc try, but relatively they apply. with equal force te Canada. If the figures were included for cattle, sheep, cal- ves, poultry and other livestock and fowl marketed the yearly loss thro improper handling would amount to a very large sum. Every blow with a club means a bruise and as the bruised portio must be cut out of the carcass, . lessens its value by just that amount. which might — grade No. 1 is graded II. and ITZ, be- Further, the carcass cause of the cut out portions. Livestock men urge that the club and pitchfork be abolished and ye ; their place the slapjack or whip wi a loud cracker be used. ~The latter instruments prévoke action through the medium of startling noises rather than by heavy blows. For at least two Teasons—that it is humane to dumb animals and be- “4 cause it means a loss of money—let” us throw away the club. Remember every blow to the animal is a blow at the livestock-industry.—Farmera’ Sun. A portly Dutch woman applied vt the. post office for a money order to send to her son in the far East.
