The club has arranged for a series of weekly literary evenings in their rooms on Richmond Street. These meetings which will be held every Friday evening willbe open to the public and a programme has been prepared which will afford entertainment and in- struction toall who care to attend. ' No charge is be- ing made for admission and a cordial welcome is ex- tended to all. i . ' The first of these meetings will be held this evening. Premier Bell will be the principal speaker His subject, will be “People we Meet. The intention is that at all these meetings the principal speaker will occupy half an hour or so and a short discussion will follow. Among others who have promised to give a lecture or read a paper are Major Bartlett, Rev. Dr. McMillan and Hon. F. J. Nash, each of whom is eminently capable of enlisting the attention of an intelligent audience.’ support and co-operation of our citizenship.

At that time there was no question about finding patients for the hospital. The difficulty was to find accommodation for the patients.

NOT IHEITIABLIB ___~ A Hamilton police magistrate has acquitted men accused of selling liquor on the ground that the only evidence against them was that of “spotters.” In giving his decision he said: “When there is no evid- ence showing the defendant has been guilty of an of- fence excepting that of the two men who admit in- ducing him to break the law, and their evidence is contradicted, it will have no more weightwith me than the defendant's —.” His view o1 the matteriis sound. The evidence of men who induce another- man to break the lawr-should be considered no more reliable than the evidence of the man they accuse. The duty of the branches of the public service charged with en- forcing the laws is to see that the laws are obeyed, not to conspire to have them broken. It should be possible to detect lawlessnesswithout tricking men into it. -0ttawa Journal. . -- - 1: '_ .w*.
