LA LIIC scar caia, auu {HUS CSCEPCU, - That it was a deliberate attempt to , wreck the train is proven by the fact ,that the switch which leads into the J, B. `Smith lumber yard was half open, or, what railroad men term, "at half-cock. The switch lock had been _opened by. means of a switch key, and left in that position. The switch light was out. It had been lighted in the evening along with the other 1amps,'and it was the only lamp` in that section of linethat was not burning, notwithstanding the fact that it was well lled with oil and had plenty of wick. In addition, judging from the experience of the `ren1'en and engineer, something had beeneplaced on the track.

He start- ed an epidemic of laughter and kept it going.

W Flavelle to the Minister of Agricul'_ ture-, dealing with farm topicsin geni eral. It does not come well -from the man who reaped an illegitimate profit from. the farmers of Ontario in the buying of hogs, to write a let- ` ter like that. Cheers For Herb. Lennox.

MacWatt,- of Sarnia, the presiding Grand Master. ' `No address in years has been sol pointed, so candid, not so kind1y,} having regard to theanature of the matters under `discussion. He has, made itpclear that there is to be no! encroachments on the `traditions and` principles of the order, which are to be kept inviolate. He expresses the view that those who seek Masonic office for the honor should be will- `irlg to do the work attached to it. His face has been rmly set against intoxication, and all pernicious, prac- tices. He laments the uncharitable spirit displayed by many Masons, condemns those,who discuss Masonic matters with persons outside the ord- er, c_r-iticizes the slip-shod methods of lodge work, and the keeping of 'records,;-and thinks the day has come when there should be a uniformity of lodge by-laws and compulsory insur- ance, for the protection of subordin- ate lodges.

The use of lodge rooms with other societies is condemned, and the ban placed on card playing and dancing in Masonic_ lodge rooms, which should be held too sacred for frivol- ities. and abuses. He questions the_ wisdom of parades with the blare of bands and the `blaze of gold regalia, and sugszestslsomething more quiet and unostentatious. gHe intimates that if Grand Lodge still continues as at present a_-tax for benevolence is -inenvitabl. _ - !<* VII-Bu luv:-5-; ---...__.. After some remarks on nances, etc., the Grand Master commented on the variegated appearance that Grand " Lodge officers would present in a few years if more attention were not paid to the regulation color. All shades of blue were creeping in, in- stead of garter-_ blue. Members should` insist on the proper color. One manufacturer, he said, had stat- ed that he purposed to use blue ma-' terial of any -irregular shade until his -present supply was exhausted.

I have ruled that only in excep-| tional circumstances, or when thel Grand Master, the Deputy Grand Master or a Past, Grand Master of- ycates, shall the Grand Lodge re`- tgalia -be forwarded for such occa- sions, although in every case Grand Lodge must be convened. Gdod work had, he said, been ddne by the D.D.G.M. s in lodge dedica-I L txon. T i I was asked, said the Grand Master, to issue dispensations to gallow lodges to attend memorial ser- vices in honor of our late King. This _I felt compelled to refuse. Many lodges_ held memorial ser-I ,vices in the lodge rooms on the `even- *ing of the day of the funeral, which `were far more appropriate, to my! `mind, and very, impressive, besides, ;being purely Masonic and "entirely: iunder our control. I ; ``Indeed, I am" inclined to the opin- lion of several Grand Masters.of.sis- ter Grand Lodges that church pro- cessions should not be allowed. They often engender religious quarrels as to the church where the service shall be held. This should be a good rea- son `in itself. But I have noticed that many members appear onthe street in regalia on such occasions- who never, or hardly ever, enter al `lodge, and in several cases some are very prominent in the procession who could safely have been kept out of our ranks. There is too much `parade about such processions, `especially when other Masonic bodies are permitted toiappear in their regalia. Without Regalia. Why can we not attened church without regalia and without a band blaring at the head of the proces- sion? Is it for display we appear outside our lodge rooms, or to wor- ship Him we profess to serve? I would conne the regalia to the `lodge room ox-`to Grand Lodge and forbid our appearing outside, in such on any occasion, except `for the lay- ing of. a corner stone.

As I! view -the case cited, however, such an argument is only relevant on the question. of a decision under section: 6 of the lunacy act, upon the disput-' ed facts as to the sanity or insanity .of Michael Fraser.
