Island when Premier Saunders returned from Ottawa empty handed, after giving the people such hopes from the Audit Board in regard to the adjustment of our claims. The explanation given to Mr. A. E. McLean, M. P., that the Audit Board can. have nothing to do with the final settlement was exactly what Hon. Mr. Stewart had told Premier. Saunders on the floor of the House before he made that expensive trip to Ottawa. Statute labour and lower taxes were also dealt with by Mr. Arse-

an opportunity to work out their taxes as in the past if the Con- servatives were returned on August 0th. The Stewart government had promised lower taxes -ln 1923 had they had kept that promise.

Dr- John McNeiil spoke on be- half of the Liberal Candidates, and took up most of his time discussing the Bennett platform of 1990. Touching local politics Dr. McNeill said that he would not be in politics today had it not been for the Government Control plank of the Stewart Government in 1927. He deemed it a matter of principle on his behalf to fight in the in- tcrest oi temperance. In his long discourse the Doctor went as far back as the Reciprocity treaty of 1011.

Mr. A. FfArsen-ault in a few minutes rebuttal answered the charges of the Doctor against Hon. R. B. Bennett. .

JANEYICANUCK FAVORS WOMEN PREACHERS

‘IDRIONTO, Ont" July 27-43mm’ F. Murphy, Alberta f\\;c Magis- trate, well-known author of "Janey Canuck" advanced strong argu- ments in a. recent number oi the Canadian Home Journal in favor o1 women being preachers.

“At present there is no disquali- fication of women as ministers of the gospel but that of sex,” she says “As we cannot alter sex this matter can be ratified only by altering the basic privilege. Being better morally than men. women should not only preach but should have the preference as preachers. In support of this moral superiority let mc state that in the Province of Al- berta. at the present time there are l5 males in our jails for every It'- male. The ratio is a steady one and probably fairly representative of the other provinces in Canada. In the churches women outnumber men so vastly that there is more rejoic- ing over one sinful mun who re- pcnts than there is over 20 sinful women.

"Since good women are more plentiful than good men they are better fitted as preachers, exemp- lars, and as sensitive transmitters of spiritual energy; ' they are by temperament better fitted for the exemplilicaiion of divine worship. At their General Conference in Lon don, Cnt.,_ two or three years n80 the United Church of Canada 8- greed that "There is no bar in re- ligion or reason to the ordination of women to the ministry’ Nev"- theless up i0 this time they hilyfi kept the barrier well to the fore. riuite oblivious of ‘religion or rea- son.’

After recalling the stand of the Lambeth Conference ms. Mumhy said: "In deliberately excludlnfl

The ceremony of laying the cor- ncrstone was impressing; in its sim- plicity. LL-Col. G. A.

Mrs. Rogers made feeling refer- ence to Mrs. Walker who had DEED the moving spirit in starting the idea of the Women's Tribute, and to the splendid women who had tak ell it up and raised the money which in large measures today was re- sponsible for the building now un- der construction. The hymns "O God Our Help in Ages Past," added to the austerity of the proceedings ‘and after scripture reading and prayer the workmen eased the cor- nerstone into position.

Mrs. Walker told of the happin- ess the women of’ Manitoba felt that their task was nearly done insofar as a, tangible tribute to the men was concerned.

POLICE COURT-At the Police Court yesterday morning, a. drunk and disorderly was remanded till Thursday; one drunk and incapable was fined $10 and costs or twenty days; another had $5 bail estreated, and a man, charged with being drunk in charge of a motor vehicle was given seven days in jail. A man charged with reckless driving, con- fessed and paid $10 and costs. A woman, charged with breach of the sanitary by-law was fined $3 and costs or five days. One man charg- ed with common assault was fined $10 and costs or ten days, and another man similarly charged had his case adjourned till today. A case of non-support was also adjourned till today.

A meeting of the Life Underwriters‘ Association of Prince Edward Is- land, was ileld in the Caledonia Club rooms on July 23rd. The prin- cipal speaker was Mr. J. J. Murray, of Waterloo, Educational Supervisor 0f the Dolninion Life. Mr. Murray prefaced his remarks by outlining tile benefits of the Life Underwrit- ers’ Association oi Canada, how the Association secured good legislation in tlle various Provinces, and im- proved underwriting conditions by removing many malpractice-s. The speaker then gave some very inter- esting statistics and pointed out that there is now well over one hundred billion dollars of insurance in the North American continent today, and prophesied that within ten years this amount would be doubled. Canada alone now has over seven billions in force and this amount is growing rapidly. Mr. Murray showed that if one gen- eration was adequately insured it would mean that the three hazards of life namely, Death, Disability and Old Age would be overcome and that dependency would be removed and all children would be able to secure a good‘ education. It is plainly shown that only 7% of the economic value of life is protected in Canada and consequently there is an immense field for the modern underwriter.
