The way of the transgressor is hard and this say- ing is true whether the criminal. is in the toils of the law or at freedom.

If at large, his life is one of constant dread for fear the long Individuals are selfish, greedy and covetous; ‘poli- ticians are selfish, greedy and covetous, and' nations are selfish, greedy and covetous, and herein lies the root of all the present evil and trouble of the world. A Stern Warning-- The terrible ending of the career of Red Ryan should be a stern warning to all boys inclined to be loose in their habits. With all his cleverness, Norman Ryan is now up against a sentence in penitentiary for life and thirty lashes. If Lord Somebody or other wants to live a clean, decent, religious life he can certainly do so in the Eng- lish Church, the Methodist, Baptist; Presbyterian or any other Orthodox Church, if he doesn't want to live that kind of a life he can join the Mohammedans and go to the devil. Of the Ten Commandments, none are so frequent- ly violated as the tenth: "Thou shalt not covet." One hundred per cent. of all Mohammedans are im- moral, fifty per cent. of all Mohammedans are thieves and twenty-five per cent of all Mohammedans are murderers. "selfishness" is the cause of nearly all the troubles of life and selfishness is only another name for "greed". Selfishness is the mother of greed and greed is the father of neatly all unhappiness. In England Lord spmebody or (other has left his mother church and. joined the Mohammedans because the members of the Orthodox churches only bring out their religion for use one day in the week, while the Mohammedan wears' his religion on his sleeve seven days in the week. Just so! But if you ask me I’ll tell you that I would sooner havea man who dis-. played his religion one day in the week and lived a decent' citizen the other six days---than the man who displayed his religion seven days in the week and lived an immoral, dishonest and murderous life at the same time. What is at the bottom of all this?--in one word, my answer would be "greed". Greed for power, greed for money, greed for the flesh pots (without earning them). In England they are fighting as to whether the High Church shall join the Roman Catholic Church or not. In New York they are fighting over the ques- tion of the Birth of Christ-was he of divine or was he of human birth? In Canada they are fighting over the question of Church Union. How can the Dove of Peace settle over a country or the world when everybody is hunting for something to fight about? There is trouble in China, Japan, India, Spain, Mexico and the Philippine Islands. Canad and the United States are almost free from political troubles, still there is an air of uncertainty in these countries. In Philadelphia, the fight was on last week and the report was sent out that eighty per cent. of eleven hun- dred saloons were closed-what a fierce fight that must have been between the fellows who wanted "it" and those who didn't want "it". Politics seems to be in rather a disturbed state all over the world-Greece seems to have a new govern- ment every few days; Germany's government has been, and is yet, in a very unstable position; Russia's gov- ernment is still in the travail of uncertainty; England is up against the most peculiar and uncertain situation that has confronted her in the last hundred years. Ramsey Macdonald is probably the only politician in the history of the world, up to date, who had his cabinet ministers picked before he was called upon to form a government. Should he never be called upon to form a government, there will be a lot of disappoint- ed office seekers. In the United States business is; booming and wages are high, so that every one should be happy---. but they are not! There is a constant disturbance, dissension and fight going on between the fellows who want "it" and the fellows who don't (the bone of eno- tention being "bo,oze"). In New York a campaign was started a short time ago to close and padlock two thousand saloons--what a fight that must have been be- tween the fellows who wanted "it" and the fellow who doesn't want "it". _ 't"e'6oo4"e+e"e"e"e"erooooooq"eeooooooooooooooor, Cabinet Picked For Him-- World Politics Disturbed: Ferguson is little in stature and little Drury isn't very big himself) so there "a4."e'e4'4"re"e"e"e"e"e<"e"re"a"rsooe"e"t"e"t"soe"se"sote"esee"s Facts and Fmies reviling both the Liberal Ottawa and accusing them in intelect (and you are!

The attitude of Bryan, Billy Sunday and their fol- lowers toward the question of evolution, reminds me of what was said of the Bourbons when they came back to power in France from 18‘30 to yl48, 1hat they had for- Indeed, the popularity of these two men with a large section of the people in the neighboring republic goes far to discredit the axiom that man is a reasoning animal. Fortunately, the bulk of educated men there do not agree with Bryan in his fanatical attacks upon Darwin. Mr. White concluded by saying, "f am authorized to say that Sir Henry Thornton js most anxious to de- velop, in the Niagara ?ninsu.la.,)t systm of transpor- tation which will equal anything in the country or upon the continent." It often pays to make haste slow... ly, as in this case. ', "And if these representatives are satisfied with what they see and its application to Canada, it may be possible to inaugurate practically an interurban ser- vice between Niagara Falls, Hamilton and Toronto by the use of present steam tracks, and that by a capi- tal expenditure, small in comparison to its advantages, and thereby afford an excellent service at a mimimum of cost." In the present religious controversy in the United States between the Fundamentalists and the Modern- ists the former are heavily handicapped by the fact that two of their foremost champions are W. G. Bryan and Billy Sunday, both of whom, as reasoners, are jokes. "There have been new. developments over there," said Mr. White, "which may well transform the move- ment of suburban traffic.

With a view to making a thorough investigation'of radial condi-. tions in the two countries which had advanced the furtherest in this form of transportation, Mr. E. W. Oliver and an engineer of the Canadian National Elec- tric Railways were departing for England and Sweden to study conditions there at first hand. And there is but little doubt that a large number of Hamilton's citizens would be quite content to have Hamilton situated in the Province of Quebec for rea- sons quite unconnected with the matter of coal sup- plies. _ , Those people in the Niagara District who last year opposed the hasty construction of radial roads at great expense to compete with our National railways and advised to first give Sir Henry TFOI'tOll a chance to see what he could do, seem sto be ully justifierin their attitude according to the statements of Peter White. K. C., at the laying of the corner-stone of the new St. Catharines inter-urban passenger terminal of the Canadian National Electric Railways on Dec. 27th last. Apparently no exception was taken to this state- ment and we are forced to one of two conclusions; either that Mayor Jutton and others believe that the St. Lawrence flows backwards from the ocean into Lake Ontario, or else. that Hamilton is situated far down in the Province of Quebec, in which case, of course, the coal supplies he speaks of could be got quite cheaply. Whereupon thdRev. Principal Grant replied that he and many others fully believed in the truth of evolu- tion and that it did not conflict in any sense with man's relation to his Maker, but only proved that man's Crea: tion was a process somewhat different and even more wonderful than it had been supposed to be, and I re- member distinctly his saying, "We are nearly all evolutionists now,' and several others made short speeches all agreeing, more or less, with what Rev. Principal Grant said. After a moment or two's thought, Prof. Knight re- plied-that his business was to teach his students the scientific truths regarding embryology, and he left the squaring of these truths with the first chapter of Gene- sis to the theologians, several of whom were on the platform, and would doubtless be quite willing to answer this question. That a number of people have queer notions of what "up" and "down" mean in this part of Ontario is evidenced by the extraordinary mistake made a few days ago by Mayor Jutten, of Hamilton, when he said, "Were it possible for large ocean vessels to travel 'down' the St. Lawrence to Hamilton, this city could be served with coal supplies from England and Nova Scotia at rates much cheaper than are possible by rail." _ A number of clergymen and distinguished citizens were on the platform headed by Rev. Principal, Grout. Before Prof. Knight sat down, one of the fruit growers sprang a bombshell on the meeting by asking the Pro- fessor how sis conclusions squared with the first tchap- ter of Genesis. - a lecture on embryology,'in which he showed how the physical form of man had been built up by slow de- grees through the ages from the lowest forms up to its present state, and the proof of it was that vestiges of the discarded organs were to be found in n11mberrof infants and human beings today, and more particularly in the embryos previous to birth.

Bohn, a young elec- trician in the days when the theatres were illuminated w'th gas and when the town was wide open. He was a hard-working, ambit ous youth, and his shop window excited curios ty in the days when electricity was but newly becoming recognized as an l- 1luminant. He paid $15 a month rent ‘for a site that would now command perhaps a hundred t'mes as much, and his first important customer was Joe Ullmann, gambler and bookmak- er. Ullmann dropped into the little shop one day and remarked casually: "I've got a notion to start a gambling house round in Forty-fourth Street, and I want to have electric lights. I'd like to have you put them in for me." He was ordering the plant as casually as he might have ordered a cigar. Bohn explained to him that it was a difficult and costly matter, that there would have to be expensive ex- cavations and service wires. "ull- mann said that that would be all right and invited Bohn to accompany him to a nearby deposit vault where he opened a box filled with stacks of bills, handed him $700 and told him! to go ahead. of chance. One young blood is sup- posed to have lost $60,000 at a single session. The big gamblers were wealthy men, and gambled because it furnished them with some excitement, not because they particularly needed their winnings or particularly missed their losses.

Partly be- cause ot his gratitude to his friends and partly because of the handsome rewards, he bent his mind to this branch of his procession and invented safeguards that were to become uni- versal. C ty that had electric lights, the first to install them being the Empire, which was built in 1894. But those were the "good old days” in New York, the halcyon days when for a nickel a man could get a glass ot beer and all the free lunch he want- ed; in other words, when a man could get all he needed to eat for fifteen cents a day, though perhaps not all he desired to drink. These were the days, too, when the b'g gamblers oper- ated under police protection, when the names of Canfield, Ullmann, Coe and Maynard were on the lips ot the citizens as are the names of Volstead and Sumner today. Fortunes chang- ed hands overnight in their palaces services other than lighting. He was asked to install signalrso that the gambling party might not be unduly on and as raids became more numer- ous, when Jerome as district attorney began to show his pernicious activity, Bohn was called upon for electrical sum-a, In With “gamblers," he "Td?85, back' with something more than tol- eration upon his most valued patrons. The gamblers in those days vied with each' other in magnificence. Their houses were fitted up as expensively as the homes ot the Aston and the Vanderbilts. Canfield, a real con- noisseur, had valuable art collections. When one gambler used electre lights the others could not afford to lag behind so that from other noted denizens of the underworld came or- ders and the fortune of the young electric'an was made.
