This is a type of criticism which every. red-blooded. patriotic Can- adian should resent. Everybody knows, and nobody knows better than Mr. King. that the increase in ithe national debt from 8350000000 to 82.000.000.000 represents almost precisely what Canada expended on

Brdhnhly no election was ever held in Canada fraught with great- ler possibilities for lasting ‘good ur perpetual evil. aa will be the con- Weat-whlch can uow be said to be fairly upon ua_ if ever there was Ii time in our history when every party. thought should be set aside. and every partisan prejudice sent to the scrap heap. it is now. f! may be hard for us to goto the polls and cast our votes against the personal and political friendships of the past. but when the most vital interests of our country are at stake. and the heritage of our children]: threatenql to be thrown into the caulldron of destruction. it becomes our duty to the present and to those who succeed ‘l! tc dis- regard personal and political friendships and to work and vote for the preservation of our fouhtry and the retaining of a goodly and unimpaired inheritance for our posterity. There are those who think little of tbeae things. and would be williuglto see Canada con- sumed to the ashes cf destructizfl. if from the ruins they can gather some embers of profit for them- selves. Biit the great voting popu- lotion. who have no personal inter- ests toserve anti ts wholii the pro- gress and welfarc of the country is of the first importance. can surely; be depended upon to offset these efforts to wreck our young nation. and to save it for the benefit of our own people and their sons and daughters.

The contest in which we are en- gaging is admitted by all well in- formed piibilc men to be one ab- solutely between the Meiglten Gov-

“ernnlent and the stability which

it represents. and the Grain Grow- ers‘ forces of Western Canada led b_v the Hon, T. A. Crerar. support- ed arid financed by the Grain Grow- ers combines. There slloulti be no nrfstaking this phase of our situa- tion. There is not a sensible man lulCanada wllo believes ii to he le- motely possible for the Liberal party to prevail.

The horrible circumstances of his death have ‘- ' htenod interest in llia case. which for IIIOIIIIII. has been one of the ciilef topics of conversation in New ‘York and New Jersey. There seems to be a gen- eral bcllef that Brandon was an innocent man. Great pressure was brought to bear’. upon Governor Edwards to grant-him anal-don‘ or to rule that newiydisoovcrod evi- dence might be‘ presented. The Governor. however remained ohdur ate. and now it is declared public- ly that his action has left an in- delible stain upon New Jersey jus- tice. The story of the case is pres- ented by the New York Tribune:

At 1.15 o'clock of the moonlight morning of August‘22. 1918 Arthur Kilnfer. a young paymaster. and Edith Janney. a IQ-yearold ac- quaintance. both residents of Perth Am-boy. leffan inn on the out- skirts of Railway. to go home in Kupfefs automobile. Their visit to

. tlte inn had been an innocent and

‘friendly one. The proprietors of the rplace knew both Miss Jauncy and her family.

At 2.07 o'clock. or 42 minutes af- terward. the Rev Frank H. Moore superintendent of the State Refor- matory at Rshway, was awakened by the sound of shooting. Leaping from bed and without stopping to put on his glasses he lookedbut on the road. which passes under his ‘window. in the moonlight. ac- cording to statements made a lit- tle while later. Moore saw an ‘auto mobile stopped, anti a ntan carry- ing another toward a ditch. Upon depositing his burden at the road- side this man returned to the car. and it was driven off at high speed by a third nlau. who had remained at the wheel. The man left inthe ditch was Arthur Kupfer. Within an hour‘ or thereabouts, he d"-ed from :1 bullet wound in the heart. At dawn the body of Miss Juniiey was found in beside a road in the viilagii

of Linden. She had been ahot ‘through the head. ' Tlie Accuser Accused. .. ..

A Leader of Ioya (Youth'_s Companion)

To be a successful leader of boys a aiau must live the life that" he wants them to live. A boy in criti- cabsuaplcious creature. with high ideals and sense of loyalty; but ha

then without his glasses and lu cir-lhas a perception of hypocrisy arid

insincerity that is uncanny. Moat boys have a sense of humor; they like play-acting and jokes, and hav a wonderful capacity for getting lil- to scrapes; yet their sense oi ins- tice is accurate and they really like discipline, for it relieves them of responaibiii y. But it is useless to preach to a boy unless you are ready to back up your courage by your example.
