An Interesting Decision-

In the case of McMillan, convicted of 8 violation of the new liquor law, and who applied for a writ of Hsbies Corpus. 533 lordship the Chief Justice has granted the discharge of the prisoner from custody on the ground that the warrant of com- mittment was illegal because directed 50 the marshal who was the prosecutor and laid the information. Mr. W. S. Stewart who appeared for McMillan also contend- ed that the act under which he was con- victed wss ultra vires. On this point the Chief Justice expressed no opinion except that the Ontario case of Hodge and the Queen which went to the Privy Council, cited in the argument, would seem to be- an authority for holding that section 8 of the Act is intro rires (uot ultra vircs as ststedin the Examiner.)

Regarding the point upon which Mc- Millan was released, Mr.-- Davies. Q» 0-. on behalf of the City opposed the motion for discharge arguing that the warrant was perfectly legal and produced an aili- dsvit of the Marshalstating that he never interfered in the arrest,but left the whole to Policeman Doyle.

Mr. Stewart,for the prisoner, contended that the warrant was illegal, and void, and whether Cameron executed it or not made no diflerence whatever; it was directed to him as well as to the other constables, and whether he did or did not execute it was of no importance--a prosecutor must keep aloof from the execution of docu- ments. *

The decision may be law, but the ordinary layman will fail to comprehend

whys man

escape the penalty so easily.

_The Christian Endeavcrers

At the meeting of the Christian Endea- vor Association in St. John, testimony from the pastor-sin regard to the society was called for and a great many of the clergymen present spoke of the great assistance the society had been to them, and to the good work it was doing. All declared that it had relieved the pastors of much work they had tried iueffectuafly to perform and had lifted ogre-H0.-<1 from their shoulders. The chief feature of the society seemed to be tblt it hid developed and drawn out the young church workers in a way never before accomplished. One of the speakers said that the Christian Endeavor Society was the missing link between the church and the Sabbath school. The church of the 20th century was in training in the societies and their work would mean that mo’ church of the 20:1. century would do_

, . its work with less of hurtful rivalry, with

greater economy of energy and money and with a nnbler spirit of brotherhood than the church of the present

Among their planks is interdenomi- national spiritual fellowship among evangelical denominations, setting forth their spiritual unity in Jesus Christ.

As the name Christian Endeavor, by a marvellous and triumphant trial and his- tory of 10 years, has come to mean the definite pledge for the weekly prayer meeting, the monthly consecration ser- vice and the work of the lookout com- mittee, it is urged that inallChristiau fairness, societies which adopt substan- tially these methods, adopt also the name Christian Endeavor, and that this name be not applied to other methods of work.

The Caledoniau Club.

The Caledonian Club of P. E. round a. . Scottish institution, established in Ch’town in theyear 1838, then called the

“Highland Society.” Its members It the time, for ignoringssid petition

that time were chiefly from Scotland and as was natural for them they felt a desire tointroduce to their fellow countrymen here the» advantage of being connected with an institution having for its object the perpetuation of the language and lit- erature of Scotland.

In the year 1864 the name of the goeigfy was changed to that of the "Gale- donian Club of P. E. Island,” and later on as the club grew in numbers and its fiungigx being of some import- ance it obtained an act of incorporation from the Provincial Legislature. Scottish Gatherings, under its auspices, are celebrated, and this year’s gathering, judging from the many interesting events whichsppearontheprogrsm,willnotb'e behind any in the past.

The pioneer feature of the gathering at Ch'towu on the 10th inst., to celebnte the arrival on this Island of Scottih Pioneers. about a century , will no doubt form an interesting instructive

of this year's ‘ The log

.. prin- m to

assessments last year were no less than $3.’ 528,366, a magnificent pile certainly for Secretary Walker to haul in one year. Its death claims for the year are stated at $1,105,488, and its assets at the begin- ning of this year $2.423.303- V9517- this looked like a grand and wonderful endowment order as compared with our less pretentious orders of that ilk. Be- hold what strides it made in eleven years. Its membership was 65,204 representing probably over one hundred millions of endowment insurance. The Iron H811 was the pride of assessment endowment _sdvocates and society ‘organizers. Are not all assessment insurance and endow- ment societies founded and run on just such foolish and absurd lines as was the Iron Hall? The editor of the Monetary Times, than whom there is no better authority in Canada, avers that the fate of the Iron Hall is and must be sooner or later the fate of all assessment societies. I wonder if its 65,000 members over con- sidered what a task they had undertaken in the collection and payment of over a hundred millions of dollars by assess- ments upon themselves. What burning tears many of its deluded victims will shed today. Assessment society organ- izers do not like to contemplate the pro‘ bability of liquidation or dissolution The law of decay and death does not enter into their calculations. They do not like to think- of the principle that a thousand men

dollars, and that it must all be collected out of the members, or that if each mem- ber geis a thousand dollars, each must pay that amount on the average, or that if one member falls short of the average another must run beyond it. The day of reckoning with them must always be deferred; there can be no last man in their society. No, their society will carry the last man down into the millennium, when all liabilities will be blotted out. With the organizers societies have an easy birth, but there need be no end; they may grow and multiply; continue from a mushroom birth and abide forever and

Oh, no, our membership will increase until it takes in the whole earth.” “ Think of the vast hordes of humanity Stanley has discovered, all waiting to be embraced with brotherly love—no trouble at all in getting membei I to keep down increase of assessments.” There are now over four hundred Assess- ment, Imu ?mnt organiza- tions in America and there are millions in them for people who die young, and billions for those who can see the Millennuium. Among the many Insurance and Endowment Societies, we have “Red men,” "Bushmen,” “Woodmen,” “White' men," “Knights of Pythiss,” ‘Knights of Sobriety,” “Forreeters,” “Mat-cabees,’» "Faithful Catholic Shepherds," “Catholic Crusaders of the Holy Cross,” “Free Sons of Israe ," and “Legions” of other sorts,

but all of the same magic stripe of the “Iron Hall]? “Do men gather grapes of

thorns, or figs of tbistles '1"

Au Endowment Order was started some

time ago whereby the first member should draw the first 31,0“) collected, and so on consecutively, membership ceasing when

endowment is paid. Pray, will some Mathematical Assessment Professor show how, and when the last member will get his 8100-’) ‘Z Practically and theoretically,

S’side Schools Again.

Sni.,—D_uring the last few months I have noticed in your excellent paper sev- eral communications on the Summerside schools containing some very strange statements, which if true, reflect seriously upon the parties concerned. ,

I find from the annual school reports that the teachers dismissed from ‘the S’side schools were A]. The petition of the people there in favor of the said teachers confirmed this. The action of the Town Council in dismissing the only trustee, over whom they had control, at

still further weight to the petition. Now, unless the other side of the story be heard, how are the public to judge, for public opinion rightly informed is generally just. Will some one rise and explain. I Yours truly,
