ETY. 1' The usual annual appeal is now being made on behalf of the Bible Society the purpose of which is both to aid in the circulation of the Bible and to en courage a more earnest and a more continuous study of the word of God. This society has done a work of incalculalble value since it was first organized It has translated and published the Bible or portions of it into over 500 different languages and carried lts message into practically every country in the world. This translation an a and this is the aim ofthe appeal now being lnade I01" help from those who profess to believe m it and that its circulation will be for the benefit of those lnto whose hands it shall colne. Apart altogether from the value of the Bible, as a spiritual and moral guide too little emphasis is ‘Guide. introducing its misrepres- d circulation are to be continued, span-sow weaver-ion l m“ e l a Cllii-lillNLXliillENT , “The first performance of the Canadian Government Proponandu - troup". is the super-elegant long-I uage used by the United Farmers enlatlon and slander of the tariff Commission's sittings in Char- lottepwn. Then in its character- istic and coarse vulgarity ll des- cribes the Finance Minister as the Pslar performer". wanting in the "trails of sportsmanshlp"_ and likening the proceedings to "light comedy to certain classes". And all this because the United Farm- ers‘, or the handful of agitators who have appropriated to them- selves that designation. were without a t-ase to lay-before the Commission. by which the Crerar free trade octopus could get a foothold in Eastern Canada. We have in former comments sought to impress upon the Guide the ab- solute futility of street corner hillingsgale amongst intelligent people, but apparently it cannot or will not learn the lessons oi press decency_ and so clings to the coarse and uncouth, which amongst enlightened people never produces conviction. This. no being placed today on it's value as a literary guide. It is freely admitted by scholars that the Bible gives us the purest English, the most beautiful im- agery and the most classic poetry in any into which it is translated. For this reason alone, lf for no other, the Bible should be more widely read‘ the oldest and the new-l and studied than it is. It is _ est book we have, its teachings, its language, lts poetry, its delineation of human life being as ap- plicable today as when written, two, three or four thousand years ago. To aid in the circulation of this book is to aid in Chri tianizing the world. POLITICAL POSSIBILITIES The uncertainty of the Provincial political sit- uation is at present engaging considerable attention and speculation is rife. Mr. J pA. Dewar, it will be remembered, was electedas an Independent Con- servative- He has since accepted the position _of President of the United Farmers, an organization which, if it means anything, of the existing political parties. He cannot serve two masters and his resignation will no doubt be in the. hands of the speaker in suflicient time to permit of! an election before the next session of the Legislat- ure. ' Mr. A. E. McLean has also separated himself, both in spirit and in letter, from his Liberal breth- ren. He is “out” withhis party and it is up to him to ascertain whether ill his opposition to the party which he was elected to support, his constituents are with him or with the Bell government. Mr. Peter Brodie also has placed himself in op position to the Bell government which he was el- ected to suport and in justice to his constituents he should give them an opportunity to state whether they are with him or with the Bell government. It is understood also that Mr. Sutherland has intimatedthat he can no longer support the Bell aggregation and his resignation may be looked for. It is hoped that these matters will be settled sufficiently early to enable these constituencies to secure the kind of representative they desire before the legislature is convened so that there will be no “springing" of elections at the last moment. \ THE Tilitlilvr 01-‘ AN AGITATOII. “A complete tie up of all Canadian Government Railways will take place almost immediately and your government will be held by the public morally responsible if President Hanna does not back down upon his order”. This ultimatum, delivered by Mr. A. E. Moore, member elect ‘for Springfield, Manitoba, is one which will meet with little sympathy in Canada 51nd, we hope, not even in Railway circles. It appears that certain agitators in the employ of the Canad- i n- Government Railways want to become members oil Parliament and at the same time hold their jobs oh the railway- By what right a privilege never ask- ed for nor accorded to employees in any other busi- ness should be granted to railway men has not been explained,_nor has any attempt been mhde to show by what right any employee, on railroad or ‘else- where_ should sit on the management board of the concern that employs him, and this is the meaning of this demand; parliament is, in the last analysis the employer of the railway men. In reply to the ultimatum above referred to Mr. Meighen asked, “what would you have us do‘! Would "ou have us go absolutely contrary to prin- ciple? Woilll! you lutvt- u» drastically and pollcltslily interfere and ask for the resignation of the direc- tors. ’ Railwaymen will be well advised if they ask Mr. Moore to go slowly. There is a limit beyond which even Canadian patience will refuse to go.. It was only within a, few weeks past that the explanation was given for the increase of forty per cent in freight rates that eighty per cent of the whole earnings of ‘the road was required to pay the wages of the em- ployees. The exorbitant wages paid now to railway men is the subject of considerable censure and the threat to tie up the whole railway system will not make them many friends. Should the railwaymens Union, a ood and useful institution as it is, beconle do nate’ b threatening agitators of the Moore language and‘ it carriesthese beauties into the different languages, . . . . , ‘llrflde Dronasanda and ill UN- ls distinct from eltllel, doubt is the reason why all the better elements on the farm are holding aloof from the ‘western farmers’ political movement, leav- ing the whole matter in the bands oi paid ' agitators‘ and irresponsi- ble adventures. ‘They ‘have their salaried heads and paid mission- aries, but the rank and file in- stead-t»! increasing, is rapidly growing less endless. The clean, Ilonestl and self respecting farm- ‘ers refuse to give endorsement lo this low scurrllity and debaslng chicnnry. so they stand aloof from the agitators using their own common sense and judgment un- lyiniluenced _by the sophistrles of these seekers after power and position. The Guide seems to have total- ily ignored our chief witness i-ion. ‘W. M.
