AND WELL ENFORCED LAWS.
Mr. George E. Hunter Is a Maid
atone, Saskatchewan (Central Can
ada), farmer, who writes to a Cana
dian Government Agent as follows:
"It was the first week in November.
1907, when we arrived here. There wae
very little snow or cold weather until
after the holidays, then the snow and
cold increased, but to no great extent.
I think the coldest I heard of was 30
degrees below zero, but that degree of
cold would not be felt here any more
than 10 degrees below zero would be
back home in Michigan, owing to the
beautiful dry atacsphere of this coun
try. There came a good thaw every
month that settled the snow, the fields
soon became bare, and on the 12th of
April I commenced ploughing. The
snow was then all gone and summer at
hand. This last season was some
thing more than an average year
around here, with fine crops gathered
Trom a large acreage. In parts the
crops wero less than average, but gen
erally speaking they were above it.
The price of wheat was quite good.
Some fine yields sold at $1.10 per bush
el, while some were marketed at much
less, but hardly any went below about
GO cents a bushel.
"Oats started on the market at 35
cents a bushel, barley about 50 cents,
and flax from 90 cents to $b00 a
bushel.
"As this was my first year in this
country, it was a hard year for my
horses, owing to their being eastern
horses, and not used to the western
climate, but they will soon get cli
matized. "The soil on my farm is a black
loam, about one foot in thickness, be
low that we find about six feet of
clay, and below that again gravel and
sand, with an abundance of excellent
water. This was the condition of the
ground as I found it when I dug a
wH. I can say that the water is as
sweet and as free from alkali and im
purities as I over saw.
"My opinion is that the man who
somes here with a little means can do
no better than invest $500 or $1,000 In
cattle, after locating a homestead ad
joining or near some hilly part of the
country where it will not be taken up
as soon. There is plenty of grass and
nay to be found in the hilly country
and small lakes and sloughs will afford
sufficient water for any amount of cat
tle. The bluffs with a few hay or
straw sheds will make sufficient shel
ter for them. There is no need to
worry about the market for cattle, as
i hero is already a great call for stock
of all kinds to satisfy the continued
demands of the large packing house at
Edmonton, established by Swift and
Company.
"The dairy business should by no
means bo forgotten. It is one of tho
paying enterprises of this great west.
The price of butter seldom goes below
25 cents and reaches as high as
10 cents a pound. Also the new cream
sries that are fast being erected along
ho lines of railroad are calling on the
farmers for their cream.
"These creameries are greatly wel
comed in all communities, because sell
ing cream is better than making but
ter, even at an average price of 25
cents a pound. For a new country the
railroad transportation facilities are
good; not yet. of course, what they
are In older countries, but the new
lines are swiftly gaining as the coun
try gets more settled and supplies
them with produce to ship. It is hard
to say too much In favor of this coun
try. All one needs is a little money
with grit and ambition. I have seen
homesteads that were filed on a little
over three years ago that the owners
have refused $3,000 for.
"There is much more that can be
said in favor of Western Canada, but 1
think my letter has been long enough."

old rulo was to allow six inches ol

but that is too much. You should al

tone to the judge: "How

judge replied, "I've seen roofs made
that way; but it takes a great many

those to whom they waved their fare
wells from the same spot over a year
ago. And with the rattle of chains
and the splash of anchors, as the
great ships wheeled into their berths,
the journey of 42,227 miles not in
cluding the side trips in the Mediter
ranean and other waters from zone
to zone, over the world's oceans and
through foreign seas, was at an end.
Marks Epoch in History.
The event marks an epoch in thp
naval and diplomatic history of the
United States. As a mere physical
achievement it is a thing of enormous
proportions. As a test of naval effi
ciency it has shown the sailing value
of the fleet and demonstrated to
many peoples the power of the United
States and its equipment for war. It
has been a sort of gymnastic exercise
with the big stick. It has given the
navy department the results of an
experience that will be invaluable in
the upbuilding of future fleets and
brought out defects that must be over
come. As a diplomatic messenger it
has dissipated international misunder
standings and brought closer In friend
ly relations the United States and
many of the world's countries.
The successful completion of the
cruise without noteworthy accident or
untoward incident, from either a naval
or political point of view, is regarded
by all nations as history making from
several points of view. Never before
has any battle command made such a
long, continuous voyage. Never be
fore has any battle command circum
navigated the globe, whether in one
or separate voyages. Never before
has any fleet or armada of any of the
countries of the world visited so many
ports, so many countries, under so
many flags. And never was any naval
command received with such wide and
universal acclaim and enthusiasm of
friendly feeling and spirit of welcome
as marked the progress of the Ameri
can battle fleet at every one of its
twoscore or more stops on the cruise
'around the world.
Few Desertions Reported.
A remarkable feature of the cruise
has been the excellent discipline.
While there have been a few deser
tions, the number has been far less
in proportion than it usually Is in
home ports. The extent of the drink-

From the point of view of the trained
mariner, bringing a ship around th
world Is no extraordinary task. But,
bringing 16 battleships, -with 15,000
men, around the world is a most gi
gantic naval undertaking. Unlike the
merchant ships, they are things 'of
massive 'and intricate mechanism.
They moved in battle formation, ma
neuvering at sea. to simulate, as far as
possible, war conditions. At two stops
in their journey, Magdalena bay and
the Philippines, the great batteries
were brought into play for target prac
tice, without preparation, to prove the
fitness of the ships for fighting at the
end of a long cruise.
Many Countries Visited.
The fleet visited 20 countries and
anchored in 26 foreign ports. The 16
ships passed through the Straits of
Magellan, made the journey through
the Suez canal without mishap and
coaled at Port Said in record time to
be off to help the Italian earthquake
sufferers, ail without mishap. Two
passed through the Dardanelles, the
first foreign warships to do so without
grave conferences between the vig
ilant powers, to pick up the young
Turkish officers who were to come to
the United States. Two saluted the
new sultan of Morocco. One division
dropped anchor at Amoy to do honor
to China. The whole fleet flew their
colors in the ports of Japan. The
flags of nearly all the world were un
furled In welcome to them.
To drive the ships 410,000 tons of
coal were used. Practically all of this
came from America, in order that
there be no variations in quality which
would Interfere with the elaborate
steaming tests to determine the maxi
mum power to be obtained from the
quantity of fuel consumed. In this re
spect alone the experience gained is
invaluable. Nearly 100,000 gallons of
oil were consumed in lubricating the
engines and machinery.
All Nations Impressed.
It is as a naval test that the cruise
of the fleet takes rank as the most
interesting and greatest achievement
of modern times. Naval experts of
foreign nations waited with cynical
patience for the fleet to arrive in Mag
dalena bay, battered and disabled aft
er the first leg of the rigorous journey.
When the ships went through target
practice without any preparation they
hastened to report to their govern
ments. Later, when the same ships
continued on their way around the
world and did the same thing at Ma
nila bay, the fighting efficiency of the
American navy was unquestioned.
Foreign naval experts also waited
confidently until the .ships should
reach California, to see the bluejack
ets desert In shoals as soon as they
set foot on their own soil again. On
the contrary the men kept to their
posts more faithfully than even the
department itself anticipated. This
is the one problem of the American
navy that has been a source of con
stant difficulty. Re-enlistments be
come more common than before and
for the men who left the fleet after
the long cruise around South Ameri
ca there were more men to take the
places when they were ready to leave
San Francisco.
But there were some things, some
very simple things, brought out by
' the fleet's voyage which seem to have
escaped the critics of the navy. If
naval operations are to be-carried by
the United States at long range, and
that will probably be the case, so far
as the Pacific is concerned, there
must be colliers to fill the bunkers of
the battleships, supply ships to fill the
store rooms, and ammunition ships
to fill the magazines. In their last re
ports the chief of the bureau of ord
nance said that a navy without am
munition was helpless, the chief of the
bureau of supplies and accounts said
that a navy without food for the men
was helpless. The colliers are being
built now and it is only a matter of
time before each of the bureau chiefs
will get what he wants.
cotton six inches thick. It is forced
through these curtains. It comes out
on the other side, for distribution
through the various rooms, a fairly
clean, pure, transparent air. But the
white filter curtains! Every day they
must be changed. It only takes an
hour to gray them, and by nightfall
they are as black as ink."
Too True!
If a man is a Bohemian be quite sure
that his next words will be: "Say,
old chap, can't you lend me a dollar?"

THE PROFESSIONS
PRESIDENT - ELECT TAFT
TALKS OF INFLUENCES
THEY MAY EXERT.
SHOWS DUTY QF THE CITIZEN
Address Before the University of Penn
sylvania on the Present Relation of
the Learned Professions to Political
Government Coupled with a Eulogy
of the Life and Works of George
Washington The First President's
High Character as a Man.
Philadelphia, Feb. 22. Hon. William
H. Taft, president-elect of the United
States, was the principal speaker at
the exercises in the University of
Pennsylvania, commemorative of the
birth of Washington.
He chose for the subject of his ad
dress the "Present Relations of the
Learned Professions to Political Gov
ernment." He discussed at consider-'
able length the influence which the
learned professions, in this day, have
upon national and municipal govern
ment. He outlined luminously the
part each of the important professions
plays in a government by the people
and compared their influence, one with
another. In brief part, he said: -
"It is the duty of every citizen to
give as much attention as he can to
the public weal, and to take as much
interest as he can in political matters.
Americans generally have recognized
those duties, and we find active in po
litical life, men representing all pro
fessions, all branches of business and
all trades. I propose to-day to invite
your attention to the present relation
of each of the learned professions to
politics and government.
Ministry Placed First.
"The first profesison is that of the
ministry. Time was in New England,
and in every other part of the coun
try under the influence of its tradi
tions, when the minister of the Con
gregational church, in addition to that
of his sacred office, exercised a most
powerful influence, which was of a dis
tinctly political character. His views
on the issues of the day were consid
ered of the greatest weight in the com
munity in which he lived, and he
ranked everyone as its first citizen.
This was in the days when New Eng
land might almost be called a 'theoc
racy;' when it was deemed wise and
politically proper to regulate by law,
to the minutest detail, the manner of
life of men, and as these laws were un
derstood to be framed in accord with
moral and religious requirements, the
minister of the community was the
highest authority as to what the law
should be and how it ought to be en
forced. Great changes have come over
our methods of life since that day.
Then the ministry, because of the re
wards In the way of influence, power
and prominence, attracted the ablest
of educated minds, and the ability and
force of character were where power
and influence resided. But the spread
of education and independent think
ing, the wide diffusion of knowledge
and news by the press, the enormous
material development of the country,
the vast increase in wealth, the in
crease in rewards and influence of
other vocations, the disappearance of
the simple village life, have all con
tributed to change radically the posi
tion and influence of the ministry In
the community. To-day it is not true
that that profession attracts the ablest
young men, and this, I think, is a dis
tinct loss to our society, for it is of
the utmost importance that the profes
sion whose peculiar duty it is to main
tain high moral standards and to
arouse the best that there is in man,
to stir him to higher aspirations.
should have the genius and brilliancy
with which successfully to carry out
this function. Of course, the profes
sion of ministry is supposed to have
to do largely with the kingdom of the
aext world rather than with this, and
many people expect to find in the rep
resentatives of the profession only
an other worldliness and no thought
of this. This, of course, Is the nar
rowest view of the profession. What
ever the next world, we are certainly
under the highest obligation to make
the best of this, and the ministers
should be the chief instruments In ma
king this world morally and religious
ly better. It is utterly impossible to
separate politics from the lives of the
community, and there cannot be gen
eral personal and social business mor
ality and political immorality at the
same time. The latter will ultimately
debauch the whole community.
Has Made Improvement.
"During the administration of Mr.
Roosevelt, and under the influence of
certain revelations of business immor
ality, the conscience of the whole
country was shocked and then nerved
to the point of demanding that a bet
ter order of affairs be introduced. In
this movement the ministers of the
various churches have recognized the
call upon them to assist, and they
have been heard in accents much more
effective than ever before in half a
century. The greatest agency to-day
in keeping us advised of the condi
tions among oriental races is the es
tablishment of foreign missions. The
leaders of these missionary branches
of the churches are becoming some of
our most learned statesmen in respect
of our proper oriental policies."
Judge Taft, discussing teachers, said
Lhat "their relation to politics and gov
ernment is of the utmost importance,
though indirect" He went on:

"The next profession ts that of the
teacher. Of course, the great num
ber of teachers are engaged in pri
mary and secondary instruction and
in Industrial or vocational work.- Their
relation to politics and government is
of the utmost importance though in
direct It is, and ought to be, their
highest duty to instill in the minds of
the young girls and boys the patriot
ism and love of country, because the
boy Is father to the man and the pa
triotism of the extreme youth of the
country may well determine that of
the grown men. The effect of an in
tense patriotism which thrills through
the nerves of the boys of a country is.
Illustrated in the immense strength
which Japan derives from it. No one
who visits that interesting country or
comes into contact with the Japanese
can avoid seeing its patriotism. The
term 'Busnido.' Is a kind of apotheosis
of patriotism. The joy with which
Japanese give up their lives in defense
of their country has its foundation in
a real religious feeling, and is most in
spiring to all who come to know it. It
should be full of significance to thoso
of the teaching profession who become
responsible for tho thoughts and Ideals
of the young."
To the writer. In whatever capacity
he may labor. Judge Taft attributed
great influence, either for good or for
bad.
Judge Taft paid a high tribute to
the profession of medicine, because it
had contributed to the preservation
of the health of all the people. He
pointed out that the profession had
been exalted by Its great discoveries
and by Its assistance in the expansion
of our government In the tropics and
in the construction of the Panama
canal. He said:
Medical Profession 'Eulogized.
"The triumph which has been
reached in the name of the medical
profession in the discovery as to the
real cause of yellow fever and malaria
and the suppression of those diseases
by killing or preventing the propaga
tion of, or the infection of the mos
quito, is one of the wonders of human
progress. It has made the construc
tion of the Panama canal possible. It
has rendered life In the tropics for im
migrants from the temperate zone con
sistent with health and reasonable
length of life; and it has opened pos
sibilities in the improvement of the
health and strength of tropical races
themselves under governmental teach
ing, assistance and supervision that
were unthought of two decades ago.
Sanitary engineering with its proper
treatment of water, making It whole
some and harmless with its removal
of the filth and sewage and its con
version of what was noxious into most
useful agencies, all confirm the gov
ernmental importance of the profes
sion of medicine and the kindred tech
nical profession of chemistry, engin
eering and all branches of physical re
search. So marked has been this In
crease in the importance of the med
ical profession in governmental agen
cies, that the doctors themselves have
organized a movement for the unifica
tion of all agencies in the federal gov
ernment used to promote the public
health, in one bureau or department,
at the head of which they wish to put
a man of their own or kindred branch
of science. How near this movement
will come in accomplishing the com
plete purpose of its promoters, only
the national legislature can tell. Cer
tainly the economy of the union of all
health agencies of the national gov
ernment in one bureau or department
is wise. Whether at the head of that
department should be put a doctor of
medicine or some other person must
depend on the individual and not on
his technical professional learning or
skill. It Is the capacity to organize,
co-ordinate and execute that is need
ed at the head of a department, and
not so much deep technical and pro
fessional skill. It is the ability to
judge whether others have such tech
nical or professional skill that the
head of the department who makes
the selection of the members of his
department should be endowed with.
However this may be, it is becoming
more and more clear that the extend
ing of governmental duties Into a ter
ritory covered by the profession of
medicine is bringing physicians more
and more into political and govern
mental relation, and we may expect
that in the next decade they will play
a far greater part than they have here
tofore; and it is proper that they
should."
Washington's Greatness.
After mentioning the great good, in
actual results, accomplished by many
technical professions. Judge Taft con
sidered in extent the profession of the
law, which, he said, "i in a wide
sense the profession of government."
He said that lawyers often were se
lected to carry on governmental work,
because the executive faculty was a
very marked attribute of the modern
lawyer. While he realized that there
were defects and weaknesses in the
profession of the law, he regarded it
as the most important in its relation
to political government In conclu
sion, he said: "National exigency
seems to call forth the men peculiarly
fitted to meet the requirements of the
situation. Such were Lincoln and
Grant during the great civil war. Such
was Washington in the revolution, the
anniversary of whose birthday this
university appropriately makes its Com
mencement -Day. He was not a law
yer or a doctor, or a minister. He was
a leader of men. His pure, disinterest
ed patriotism, his freedom from small
jealousies, his marvelous 'common
sense, his Indomitable perseverance
and patience, and his serenity and
calm under the most trying circum
stances, gave him the victory a vic
tory which could be traced not to bril
liant genius or professional training,
but to that which, of all things, is the
most to be pursued and desired to
his high character as a man."

We know of no other medicine which has been so su
cessful in relieving the suffering of women, or secured so
many genuine testimonials, as nas Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
In almost every community you will find women who
have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Almost every woman you meet has
either been benefited by it, or knows some one who has.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., are files con
taining over one million one hundred thousand letters from
women seeking health, in which many openly state over
their own signatures that they have regained their health by
taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has saved
many women from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pmkham's Vegetable Compound is made ex
clusively from roots and herbs, and is perfectly harmless.
The reason why it is so successful is because it contains
ingredients which act directly upon the female organism,
restoring it to healthy and normal activity.
Thousands of unsolicited and genuine testimonials such
as the following prove the efficiency of this simple remedy.
Minneapolis, Minn.: "I was a great sufferer from femato
troubles which caused a weakness and broken down condition
of the system. I read so much of what Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound had done for other suffering women, I felt
sure it would help me, and I must say it did help me wonder
fully. Within three months I was a perfectly well woman.
I want tliis letter made public to show the benefits to be
derived from Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound."
Mrs. JohnG.Moldan,2115 Second StNorth, Minncapolis,Minn.
Women who are suffering from those distressing ills
peculiar to their sex should not lose sight of these facts
or doubt the ability of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound to restore their health.
