the provinces of this Dominion must be apparent to all.The product of one is a necessity for another.Not alone are the eyes of the eastern provinces, but those of every country in the world, directed to the al most phenomenal wheat-producing qual- ties of the Canadian West.Every ham | an: concession and side line in Ontario and Quebec has contributed to the settle ment of these fertile western province s.The crops, according to the governmental reports for this season, if safely harvest ed and garnered.will far surpass previ ous years in quality and quantity.It is estimated 25,000 farm laborers will be | required from the older provinces in as sisting in the harvest of their wealth.\u201cThe sons of the West are now urgently | appealing to the parental and patriotie instincts of the farmers of the East to send every strong, able-bodied man they | can to aid them in this work of national .importance.The Canadian Pacific Rail ; way, which has made the wonderful growth of the West possible, announcea that it will carry harvesters from the Province of Quebec on Aug.20 and 27, Sept.1, 2, 14 and 18 at ten dollars.It now remains for the farmers of the pioneer provinces to show their pride in the growth of Canada as a nation b operating with the Canadian Pacific Raik way in sending every available sble-bodi ed man they can to the West., .oy Ee i heh tate EN s5R 85 a écris ve

his appeal for the social uplifting of the farmer class through the Federal Government, .President Roosevelt says: We Americans are making great progress in the development of our agricultural resources.But it is equally trhe that the open country are not keeping pace with the develcepment of the nation as a whole.being has not kept pace with that of the ag important that the farmer should get the \u2018largest possible return in moiey, comfort ;and social advantages from the erors he grows as that he should get the largest possible return in trops from the land he farms.Here, says the New York \u2018World,\u2019 President Roosevelt léads straight up to-a political question of which for seven years he has.fought shy, and the question is asked, what more direct and immediate way 1s there of helping the farmer to get \u2018the largest possible return in money, \u2018 comfort and social advantages from the \u2018crops he grows\u2019 than the revision of the tariff on an equitable basis?'L'his would give the farmer more surplus to spend after purchasing his necessaries and supplies to provide himself and his family with more comforts and more social advantages in his own fashion.The President is informed that honest tariff reform would not only insure the farmer cheaper prices for what he buys, but lower export charges, and therefore better returns for what he sells.- On the one hand he would be benefited by freer access to the markets of the world, and on the other by freedom from the exactions of tne tariff-fed trusts.For years the farmer has been in need of cheaper lumber.The tariff prohibits it.For vears he has'known that the American- made agricultural implements and other tools.he requires are sold cheaper abroad than to him because of the tariff.Ding- ley ultra-protectionism has everywhere throughout the country enormously increased the cost of living.On general principles it requires only a little thought to realize that the whole extra cost of production brought about by protection must be paid for by the farmer, whois [the one unsnbsidized producer.ON THE NEW TURNING.From, October 1 to January 31, the chartered banks will have power to increase their note circulation.At pres- enl they can issue notes to the extent of \u2018their paid-up capital, which is about $06,- 000,000, but on October 1 they will be able-to increase this by 15 percent of the Soctal and economic institutions \u201c¢f the.The farmer is as a rule better off than his forebears; but his increase in well- | country as a whole.* * * It is at least- THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS combined paid-up capital and reserve.As the reserve amounts to nearly $72, 000,000, it\u201c follows that the additional power of the banks to issue notes will amount to 15 percent of $96,000,000 plus $72,000,000, or about $25,000,000.By the terms of the Bank Act, the banks have now to deposit with the government se: curity for note circulation amounting to five percent of the amount of notes 1s- sued, and this security in June amounted to $4,013,806.The same percentage of security will have to be given for the itsue of the additisn:1 c\u2018reulation in the proportion actually.used.On the .ordinary circulation the banks pay nothing.They have large and liberal privileges of issuing up to the amount of their capr- tal without paying anything for them, but they are to pay a certain percentage up to five percent on the additional circulation, according to the conditions of the money market at the time.If the bankers want the extra notes when they are charging seven percent for money, they will have to pay the government five percent.lf the ordinary rate of discount in Canada in commercial affairs should be about six percent when bankers desire to avail themselves of the additional currency, then the government would charge them four percent, the idea being to allow a margin of two percent for the bankers\u2019 services in hand ling this circulation, This innovation in our banking system has met with considerable and weighty adverse criticism.Hitherto the bank .act has been upon the basis of having unimpaired capital to the full extent of the circulation, and that capital carried double liability; but \u2018here will be no ad» ditional security of any kind for the additional twenty-five million dollars of notes, except the five percent security \u2018given to the government.The excuse given for this legislation is the tightness of money last fall and the difficulty of moving the crop with the bank resources to hand.This is the very worst reason in the world.What is not safe to do in ordinary times is surely not gafe to do in times of emergency.The very idea of emergency expansion condemns itself.The excuse also lacked basis in fact.The fact is that while the banks had power to issne notes up to ninety-five million dollars odd last year, they only actually issued eighty-four million dollars in October and seventy-seven million dollars in December.That is to say, the banks were eleven million déllars within their limit in October amd eighteen million dollars in December.Surely that is sufficient to show \u2018that there was never any real need of an emergency currency, but that it was a placebo offer ed to the farmers of the west by the Finance Minister, who acted as a sort of understudy of the United States Secretary of the Treasury.As Mr.Foster \u2018said during the debate on this matter, if it had so happened that the banks had been anxious to disburse their credit, and found that the Bank Act Precluded them, that they were up to their limit and could go no further, there would have been good cause for going to par- llament and asking for a method by which they might increase their circulation, and if they pad done so the obvious answer to them would have been: \u2018Get more capital subscribed for your \u2018banks and you will have, per se andj \u201calong with that, the right to issue more \u2018currency.\u2019 But, as we have seen, there was no such need, the banks in December of last year could have issued notes to the extent of twenty million dollars more than they did.One feature of the new legislation is that it allows a bank to issue the additional circulation whether or no it has any reserve.To-day, a bank is allowed to start with half a million or a million dollars paid-up capital, and it is allowed practically to double that, simply on its credit.Surely that was enough.However, the new legislation is not likely to ruin us at the present time, and there will be plenty of financial students and critics carly to mark its effects.Perhaps the Finance Minister will, under the new circumstances, advise the deputy minister and his subordinates to look more carefully into the monthly bank statements, so as to be reasonably sure that all the banks which issue notes have really any capital to issue it upon, or whether it is just capital on paper.FINANCIAL REVIEW.Reports of the condition of the western crops continue to be favorable.The next week or ten days will pretty well determine what the crop will be, and the barvest is likely to be earlier than usual, at least over a very large area.The present difficulty between the Canadian Pacific Railway management and its mechanics is causing some anxiety among grain exporters on account of the fact that in order to obtain the best results, financially, it is necessary to haul the \u2018grain to the seaboard without any delay, if we are to avail ourselves of the LL gation, for the purpose of expouting as much of our wheat through Canadian channels as it is possible to do before the forming of ice prevents further shipments.Despite the strike, the milway companies appear to be confident that the facilities at their disposal wil prevent any congestion of traffic such as has occurred in some previous years.With a good crop, attention in financial! and commercial quarters will be directed to the manner in which the banks are able to provide the large amount of money required to finance the movement.In this connection it may be pointed out that the banks\u2019 resources are much greater than they were a year ago, as shown by the amount of circulation which they have a right to issue.By the emergency act, of which the bankers will no doubt avail themselves this fall, a further twen- ty-five million dollars of note circulation can be used if necessary.The dates between which it may be used are Oct.1 to Jan.31 of each year.The basis cf it is the combined paid-up capital and the reserve, upon which additional note circulation to the amount of fifteen percent may be issued.The importaut point in the crop situation is that the farmers shall quickly market their crops and that the railways shall rush it to the seaboard for export with as little delay as possible.In that event bills of exchange can be drawn against shipments and negotiated immediately, thus bringing the proceeds within a short period of time into the country and enabling farmers and others to pay their debts and store bills.This money passing from hand to hand will make business rapidly increase and prepare the people for a more active winter\u2019s trade in all departments.Periodically one hears the assertion that the west is developing at the expense of the older provinces.Young men from eastern Canada go to Manitoba and the new provinces and work quite as hard as they did here.If more intelligent farming were pursued here the re- fur would be as good, it is claimed, as in the west, and the comfort found in living and in working would be greater in the east than in the new provinces.The west, it must be admitted, is if anything more optimistic than we are in Quebec or Ontario, or the Maritime provinces, and because the country is new, the spirit of \u2018get there\u2019 rules\u2019 nine men out of ten.There is much fault to be found with a large element which holds land in eastern Canada, because, long as our best land has been under cultivation, it can be safely claimed that we have not yet made it produce anything like what it should do, and this too in spite of the fact that prices for all farm products hive steadily risen.The farmer\u2019s market is good, and he could, without any difficulty, sell probably double what he does now.It ie well known that fifty or a hundred acres, properly cultivated and utilized, would yield more than two or three times as much as the land yields to-day.There is no denying the fact that something is needed to stimulate agriculture in the old provinces and to give our farmers, or at least a large section of them, a better concepticn of the value of their boldings and the advantages of their situation.During the coming vears the lure to the land of the golden wheat will still be strong, and if Canadians in the east are to develop their section of the Dominion to the fullest extent it is time that we had a clearer idea of what the east is capable of accomplishing.Let our people, irrespective of occupation, put more intelligence into the different channels of trade and agricultural pursuits and the older provinces will have no cause to fear comparisons with the newer ones.The general business outlook is slowly but surely improving and reports to hand tell of a better and more encouraging feeling from one end of the Dominion to the other.Canada will soon be at the end of adverse financial weekly comparisons with the good weeks of last wear.Weeks that showed increased railway earnings in 1907, have been contrasted with weeks that showed decreased earnings this year.When the railway and transportation companies begin moving this season\u2019s crop the comparisons will be reversed.The worst is apparently over.The best is vet to come.The stock market has been exceptionally active throughout the past week, as a result of a heavy and consistent demand from investors for practically all leading securities.Up to the present time buying on the exchange has been handled by the larger interests, and especially the moneyed men, who have not hesitated to pick up reliable issues at prevailing quotations, This has appealed, evidently, to the small investor, and there is now every indication that the latter, encouraged by the success of the market during the past few weeks, has decided to invest if even in only a few shares.This emall buying is welcomed by the broker, who realizes that clcsing weeks of the St.Lawrence navi À 1 when once the man in the street takes an interest in stocks it is an evidence of better times.Then again money 18 plentiful and at a reasonable rate to responsible borrowers, while the increased earnings of traction companies and particularly industrial concerns has given an impetus to the entire list, shown in the splendid advance which has characterized the market recently.The decisive manner in which prices have rallied has caused a considerable revulsion of sentiment to the bull side on the part of many operators who had taken profits and were waiting for a normal reaction.In such circumstances as the present, ordinary rumor in St.Franco Xavier street cute little figure.It 18 axiomatic, however, that the market does not generally stop where it ought to.especially when under the control of skilful and determined operators, bent on accomplishing a certain end.It 18 not unlikely, therefore, that further et- forts will be made to put prices to new high levels.With the absence of any distinctive developments in the strike situation that would be apt to militate against the company, Canadian Pacihc stock has a strong undertone, and one broker went the length of predict ing a five point rise if a settlement were reached.Opening at 172 early in the week, a sale just before the close on Thursday was made at 172%, while 1t declined to 170 at noon to-day.Aside irom the strike the Canadian Pacific 18 in good shape financially.ln the fiscal year ended June 30 last the company issued more than $40,000,000 of additional securities, made up of nearly $16,000,000, tour percent debenture stock, and about $24,500, 000 common stock.The debenture stock was principally sold in London, while the common stock is being paid tor by instalments of 20 percent each, of which three have come due.Thus the Canadian Pacitic may be supposed to bave sutlicient tunds for all immediate purposes.Soo common continues 1ts upward movement, and this 1s not surprns- ing, as it 1s understood that an influential pool composed of well-known railway magnates are behind this property.The prediction is made that 1t will touch 130 in the near future, and this assertion is based on tbe argument that the earnings of the road will show decided increases from now on.Mexican issues enjoyed a well-merited advance on favor able news from the south.llhnoi- preferred is receiving good supp.tid on a fair demand it has reached a now level Fripay

VALUES ARE HIGH, \u2014 But What Will Fall Prices be if There is no Break in the Market ?Le When compared with last week, the butter market to-day is quieter and undoubtedly weaker.Lower prices have heen accepted by some holders, but this does not seem to have brought any increased activity in the local trade\u2014export business is very dificult to work on account of the high prices that are ruling on this market.The domestic consumption of butter is increasing, but the quantity that is going out of the country is small, and stocks in store here must be accumulatin~ with greal rapidity.This can hardly be regarded as satisfactory from a dealer's point of view, as the offerings during September and the early part ef October will be of superior quality, and the stock that is piling up now will be classed as \u2018summer butter,\u2019 and will rot command as high a price.The £upport that the market is receiving reveals a great faith in its futnre on the pert of those who are putting thelr money into butter and storing it away.The best grades of creamy ean be bought wholesale at 23%c.to 24c.to-day, and small buyers are paying an advance of lc.on these prices.The cheese market seems to be galning strength, {if yesterdays.board prices of 12 3-8c., 12%c.and 12 9-10.are any criterion.The export movement is fairly steady, and holders quote 12 3-8 to 12L4c.for Westerns, and 12 1-8c.to 12%c.for Que- ecs., Brockville, Ont, Aug.13\u2014At the meeting of the cheese board to-day, the reg- Istrations were 1,445 white and 1,885 colored, making a total of 3.330 boxes.From the outset it was evident that high prices were ruling.Th.market opened with a bid of 12¢., which was promptly refused.An offer of 12 1-8c.was raised to 12 3-16c., and refused by the factories called.An offer of 12 14c was after- warde followed by 12 3-8c., at which price 1.254 boxes were soid.Notwithstanding the high price offered on the board, a large number of salesinen seemed to prefer taking chances of obtaining even a higher figure on the curb.In most cases, however, the board price ruled on the street, no material advance being made by the buvers.Everything sold, the day's

wheat crop, which was not too far advanced to benefit.It is only on ligh* lands, where cultivation is poor, that spring wheat showed the full effects of drought; by ripening in the straw before the ear was matured.This heavy precipitation will fatten out the berries in the wheat that is not due for cutting for a week or more.; Its most salut effect, however, will be on the oat crop, which in many parts Jooked like being the biggest failure in several vears.Oats had mot got sufficient of a start to weather four weeks drought and blistering heat successfully, and the grain headed out with straw so short as to make it difficult to cut, while the berry ig undeveloped and starved.Since this rain, though not up to the average of the past decade, the oat crop will yield a respectable total.PROGRESS OF a THE HARVEST.Winnipeg.Aug.14.\u2014Good progress has been made by the crops this week, Heavy rains were general on Wednesday, doing much good and materially assisting in \u201che filling of the later wheat.A light frost was reported at some points, but phe wheat is in such an advanced condition that no material damage can now result from that source.| i Harvesting has progressed steadily this week.and ten percent of the wheat in Manitoba je now in stock, and fully fifty percent readv for the binders.Another few dave will see the fall wheat in Alberta all eut, and the yields are exceeding previous estimates, and would indicate an average of over thirty bushels per acre.Threshing has started, and the first sample, received to-day, is a most excellent epecimen of fall wheat.MEN WANTED IN MANTTOBA.Winnipeg.Aug.14.\u2014The Manitoba Department of Agriculture is being flooded with requests for farm help from all over the province.Up to date about 190 places have

Ghev picked out, and the authorities came to the conclusion that the neckties were used as identification marks.Commissioner Kellogg ordered the tem China- men 4 \u2018extraordinary powers in puttin -coup by the Ne- Mrs.|- Dufty fled through a rear door, closely-} noted THE POWERS WARNED.Young Turks Declare They Will Brook no intervention.GREAT REFORMS UNDER WAY IN TURKEY\u2014MONTREAL SYRIAN | AT NEW YORK DINNER.: Dat Constantinople, Aug.13.\u2014 The first rift in the lute of Turkish European harmony since the grant of a constitution, occurred to-day, when the Young Turk Commitee made an important declaration threatening foreigners if the powers intervene in Turkish internal affairs, and declaring that such intervention would provoke a rising which wowu plac: the hves of foreigners in danger.The Young Turks have demonstrated an end to incipient strikes.The employees of the Regie, or tobacco monopoly, will return to work to-morrow.hey have \u2018also ended the tramway and dock laborers\u2019 strikes.| The Young Turks have suppressed tobacco smuggling, which for years was conducted openly.The government ia resuming control where for years no control existed, except in the interests ob palace favoritism.| \u2018The ringleaders in yesterday's demonstration by dismissed empioyees of the finance ministry have been arrested.The government has intimated that a clean sweep will be made in the public departments.Only sixty employees will be retained out of 140 offices of the Council of State.At the customs ten out of thirty employees among the higher offici will be retained.\u2018The savings of salaries by these reforms will be enormous.| MAY EVICT SULTAN [ FROM YILDIZ KIOSK.correspondent of the \u2018Telegraph\u2019 says the Young Turks Committee has decided, in order completely to end old traditions and prevent the possibility of a olice guard, to insist that the Sultan abandon the Yildiz Kiosk, which will be converted into a national park, and reside in the Dolma Bagtche alace, on the shores of the Bosphorus.The project will not be enforced immediately.1 MONTREALER { AT DINNER.) New York, Aug.13.\u2014A movement to uphold the constitution that has been restored in Turkey was launched tonight at a banquet tendered to Nakle Moutran Pasha, founder of.the new Ottoman Society, better known as the Syrian Ottoman Union Society, tendered \u2018him by influential Syrians of this country.Moutran Pasha is a wealthy man of noble blood, and for seventeen years he was the moving spirit among the Young Turks party in Paris.Among those at the dinner to-night was Nojeeh Haneh, a banker, of Beyrout.Syria; who is going on a three weeks\u2019 hunting trip through Canada with the Pasha in a few days; Dr.R.Haddad; hall Farah, of Montreal, who ie said to be the wealthiest Syrian in America, a mine operator and owner, and Alexander Haba- ji, the toast-master.Moutran Pasha eaid he- thought the army would stand by the people for the constitution, and as the Sultan relies almost wholly on the army, the Pasha thought the constitution would stay.\u2018Those at the dinner pledged themselves to devote their lives to making the con- situation permanent.AERIAL NAVIGATION \u2014\u2014 FARSAVAL\u2019S DIRIGIBLE BALLOON MAKES A SUCCESSFUL FLIGHT IN GERMANY.Berlin, Aug.13\u2014The new Parsaval dirigible balloon, which is patterned on the flexible system, made its first ascent from Tegal field late this evening.The airship carried five passengers.Experiments with the steering year to prove its stability were carricg out at an al titude of 750 feet.e ascension, though only a short one, was In every way successful.The airship will be fully inflated to-morrow in preparation for a twelve-hour journcy, which is necessary before it is taken over by the government.A military steerable, semi_rigid system, balloon, cruised over Tegel while the Parsaval airship tests were being carried out, and then disappeared over Berlin.The two dirigibles manoeuvring close together created a remarkable impression on the spectators.MR.WRIGHT'S ACCIDENT.Le Mans, Aug.14.\u2014Wilbur Wright's second flight yesterday, which lasted two minutes, was a novel one.The aero- planist soared and descended at will, executing bewildering turns.Suddenly, as viewed from the grand stand, the { machine slowed up and began curving slcwly toward the earth.All appeared to be going well until it was tilted to leeward, and the delicate framework struck the ground and was deranged and torn.Mr.Wright calmly stepped out and examined the wreck.He was quickly surrounded by anxious friends, to whom he quietly explained that there had been no accident in the air, but that he had merely decided to try a new descent.He shut off the motor at a height of 75 feet and endeavored to float downward.The real cause of the accident was the attempt to land exactly on the spot of his departure.In lifting the planes at the last moment in an attempt to continue the gliding progress he.pulled the left plane too .sharply.The damage can be repaired easily, although because of the lack of the necessary material the work will require several days.Among the spectators to-day were M.Kapferer, the engineer of the French dirigible balloon \u2018Ville de Paris,\u201d and oth- \u2019jer French enthusiasts, \u2018 London, Aug.14.\u2014The Constantinople | THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS | THE QUEBEC Ottawa, Aug.14.\u2014At the last session of Parliament the administration took power by a special act to construct the Quebec Bridge as a government work.It will be remembered that the committee which investigated \u2018he affairs of two reports to the House.The report of the Conservative minority recommended that the erection of the new bridge be entrusted to a commission of eminent engineers.» The government has adopted his suggestion practically, but instead of a commission, has appointed a board, composed of three high- class bridge specialists, who will conduct the work under the direction of the Department of Railways and Canals, thus giving direct responsibility to the government.The Hon.Geo.P.Graham submitted to council yesterday a recommendation for the appointment of a board of three engineers .of world-wide reputation, whose duty it will be not only to prepare plans for the bridge, but to superintend the entire work of construction.the Quebec Bridge Company presented NEW BRIDGE.Messrs.H.E.Vautelet, of Montreal, Maurice Fitz Maurice, of London, and Ralph Modjeska, of Chicago, Three Eminent Engineers Appointed to Look After Reconstruction.a The Minister\u2019s recommendation was endorsed by his colleagues and an order- in-council was passed appointing the following board of experts : Messrs.HE.Vautelet, C.E., of Montreal; Maurice FitzMaurice, M.I.C.L., of London, England; and Ralph Modjeska, of Chicago.Mr.Vautelet is recognized as one of the leading civil engineers of Canada, having been connected with the bridge construction work of the Canadian Pacific Railway for many years.Mr.FitzMaurice is at present chief engineer for the London County Council.He was associated with Sir Benjamin Baker in the erection of the great Forth Bridge, and was also one of the engineers entrusted with the carrying out of the Assouan dam across the Nile.Mr.Modjeska has had valuable experience in the building of railway bridges in the Western United States.He is a son of Countess Modjeska, the eminent actress.Both Messrs.Vautelet and Modjeska are graduates of the Polytechnic School of Paris.HARRY THAW CASE IF CALLED IN BANKRUPICY PROCEEDINGS IN PITTSBURG, HE MAY GAIN HIS FREEDOM, New York, Aug.13.\u2014That Harry Thaw will be free within a month is the opinion of prominent New York lawyers.Eugene Philbin, former district attorney, said to-day: \u2018There 15 no doubt that once Thaw steps foot outside of New York State he will be a free man, or, if not actually free, can be made so by a writ of ha- beas corpus.Thaw was not.convicted ot any crime.He was acquitted on the ground of insanity.Judge Dowling, believing it to be for the good of the state, committed Thaw to Matteawan.= This commitment is legal only in New York.\u2018If the federal authorities demand Thaw\u2019s presence at the bankruptcy proceedings in Pittsburg, those who have I'baw in custody have no other course than to produce him.Once across the river and in New Jersey, he would be legally free, and as long as he kept out of the State of New York he would have no fear of imprisonment.\"Had Thaw been found guilty of killing\u201d Stanford White, he would be a criminal\u2019and be amenable to the law as such, whether in New York State or Pennsylvania.\u2019 John F.McIntyre, a leading criininal lawyer, said that once outside of the state Harry Thaw would be as free as any citizen.The legality of the statute under which Thaw was sent to an insane asylum has never been tested in New York State.\u2018A commitment in this state has no extra-territorial force, and once outside the state Thaw would be a free man.Any judge outside of New York must discharge him on the grounds that he is illegally retained.\u2019 WRECKED BAKER SHOP Do REVENGE ON MAN WHO DISCHARGED NON-UNION EMPLOYEES.\u2014\u2014 New York, Aug.13\u2014In an effort to have one man re-employed in a bakery shop in Lexington avenue, Harlem, from which he had been discharged for refusing to join a bakers\u2019 union, journeymen bakers, one hundred strong, wrecked the bakery of Pincus Jacobs early to-day.A riot ensued and the police were called out to dispel the crowd.Jacobs, the innocent cause of the trouble, employs twenty bakers.Several days ago the Bakers\u2019 Union, to which the men belong, lost its charter, and Jacobs, being a staunch union man, insisted that his men join another union organization.All of the men complied charged on that account.Since then, according to Jacobs, numerous delegations of bakers have visited him insisting on his re-employing Felhandler, but he refused to listen to them.To-day\u2019s riot was the result.A number of ar- reats were made, Felhandler being among em.ASSAULTED A POLICEMAN.Ottawa, Aug.13.\u2014As the result of a fight with the police last night, George H.Mason was fined $7 for disorderly conduct, while one Reid, on a charge of interfering with a police officer, elected to be tried by jury, and was remanded.The prisoner gave his residence as Montreal, and said he was a commercial traveller, registered at a local tôtel.At the latter place it was, however.ascertained that no such person was a guest of the house.Constable Dufresne\u2019s injuries are of a somewhat serious character, and Dr.McKinnon has recommended that he be relieved from duty for a few days.He sustained an ugly scalp wound on the back of the head, several stitches being required to close the gash, while the fingers of one hand are badly mangled.SMUGGLED DIAMONDS.Sarnia, Ont, Aug.13\u2014John V.Smith, who was arrested at Port Huron while trying to sell diamonds smuggled oven from Canada, and believed by the police to have been

PITIABLE LOCAL CASE SHOWS URGENT NECESSITY FOR ACTION.The need for government action tu stay the dread scourge, tuberculosls, 1 314 pressed on its readers hy the \u2018Montreal Medical Journal\u2019 in the following article: On July 17 a man who was dying oi consumption lay tor three hours on the floor ot one ot the charitable othces of this city\u2014lay, because he was too weak to sit in & chair, and no place could be found to which to send him' The blame did not lie with the Lhospitals\u2014they are not permitted to admit these cases, and at that very moment, to our certain knowledge, each of the three large geu- eral hospitals was overstepping its rules for charity's sake and was caring for at least one other such case.The two institutions which take such cases were both overcrowded, and could admit no more.Should any one care to consult the papers of July 17 he will find that Montreal on that day was boasting a population of 454,000, argued upon a conservative estimate from directory sources, and that some authorities think a hundred and twenty million bushels of grain may come from our North-West\u2014and we are buying a battlefield, and keeping an %18.- 000 team at the Olympic games\u2014and a dying man lies three hours on a floor because there is no place to send him.He is not a criminal, he is just a citizen.dying of the most widespread disease within our borders, and you bave, as citizens of Canada, not made provision of one dollar for him and for hundreds like him.The writer knows how splendidly private enterprise and even municipal activity in some places has made provision for the prevention of tuberculosis, but it is nearly all at the one end of the illness\u2014while the disease may be cured.Now, we have to make provision that the advanced case can be separated from his fellows, can be made no lenger a centre from which the disease can spread, and can be cared for as a man about to die should be.At our present position in the fight with tuber culosis, we have to recognize that for many years to come, hundreds and thousands of cases are going to die\u2014each case a centre from which the disease spreads, and we have got to separate these people just as we rationally separate a man who has yellow fever.The time has come that this farce of municipal and private philanthropic care shall be allowed to cease.The time has come that Canada at large should face her duty.and the federal government face a problem it has shirked for many years.This question is higher than party\u2014it is not the duty of party\u2014it 1s a question that is as widespread as the Confederation itself, and it 1s a measure of enlightenment that any government ought to be proud to recognize and ashamed to leave unrecognized.It 1s so important, even in dollars and cents, to Canada, that it is worthy of a cabinet minister for its work alone.We know that the country can fold its hands and sav, \u2018We cannot interfere with the provinces and the municipalities,\u201d but \u201che laws which prevent that have to he altered, and why should members not go to parliament pledged to work to that end ?Proper financial aid must be abundant, must be properly apportioned aec- cording to population, and must be from the treasury of the country at large.There is enough money in the country ; there has been for these many years.Canada can afford a million dollars a vear to house her advanced tuberculous cases, and if she docs, will find that as an investment.she is making one of the best and most conservative kind: that annual sum spent to-day will buy hundreds of useful citizens, who will be inoculated from advanced {uberculous cases of 1908 and will die in 1909 and 1910 and 1911.Is the country as such paying one dollar to the segregation of its worse- than-lepers ?Not one! Get a commission appointed.if necessary, to sit at once and find ont the way it can best be done! Put a lawver upon the commission who shall be able to un- Jock the British North America Act, 1f that be necessary.and let Canada begin to do something against the most widespread and most mortal enemy she has to fight! SWEDE WAS NOT SWINDLED JUDGE SAID JANSEN DID NOT KNOW HOW HE HAD SPENT HIS MONEY.Fred.Jansen, a Swede, who accused a city hotel keeper of swindling him out of $1,000, lostehis case before Judge Bazin yesterday afternoon.The evidence showed that he had squandered his money on champagne and automobile rides, and the magistrate said he was satisfied Jansen did not know what he had done with the rest.He had certainly bought wine freely and given much away in tips.As the evidence against the accused, who were Louis Briere, proprietor.and George Senecal, porter, of the Empire Hotel, Chaboillez square, was not strong enough, in the judge's opinion, to warrant their committal, he discharged them.Mr.Peter Bercovitch, who represented Jansen, informed Judge Bazin that he would bring the .ase before the Grand Jury, which meets next month, {to ask for a commitment against the accused.and asked that the amount of the bond necessary be fixed.Judge Bazin fixed the amount at one bond of $300.or two of $250, and if the case 1s not brought before the Grand Jury after all the papers have been prepared and witnesses summoned, the moncy will be confiscated by the gov- romani 2a.Frioay, Aveost 14.lang WILL NOT ENTERTAIN FRENCH VISITORs BUT QUEBEC CTVIC FIN AN MITTEE GRANT slo 11 NIE SUFFEkLI, Quebec.Aug.13.\u2014 At a -1-.Civic Finance Commit \u2014 a grant of 81,000 was ve.; - nie fire sufferers, but th fused to grant any finan: French deputation ot Dupleix.which 35 exw Sunday next, on the ur official notification a1 tu: been received by th mareover.considerats voted roeenthy by the oo tertainment of visitors The Committee Duplo parity ot prominent bus ono.puties, and journals.: who are visiting Canada Jeet of fostering cordua.5 tween the two countmes.NIGHT RIDER CASES \u2014 Murray.Ky.\u2026.Aug.I2- Tr +1 © Jake Elbe.charged with : rider, having resulted Lo all of the other might r +, \u2018 been continued until th.court.the prosecution ar: unable to agree ona care grand yirv onvestigation à - .connection of several of oo \" might mder bands = teers .ue ecause of threats over, + ve they overheard.indiratine a: the town of Murray war the present term ot (ox + ed.à etrong patrol uw.Lin the catern pans 0,7 \u2014 3 THE \"WITNESS be DAILY MODEL The home dressmaker should krez 4 little catalogue scrap bock of the A: ly pattern cuts.These will be i .nd very useful to refer to from time w time.4 TN NO.1446\u2014LADIES\u2019 OVELR'VAINT.Of all the useful access = ©- tps Les: been brought cut with: a vears notlung i= more so Can ibe ou tron or overwait the be plain waists or freshens «+ 12 bit shabby.Shirtwalsts à 1100 spoiled women tor vuhbt ht #28 Even the Iittle boleros 4 - han because they we sm armholes, Then.tar.nooo garment that adde any we 07 ress.Everything must easy.This simple rect freedom of movement all-over lace and fmister © folds.The square an 1 is filled in with the left open 17 Hreterred.= shy over the head.Pla térial.lace.embroidery oo be used in the make up.No.1446, 15 made In thre mediun: or Jarre.and où vards of 24-inch matsrial w ed for the medium ze.+ KEXTIL OVETW AL\" \u20ac ; Lave PATTERN COUPON \u2014 Please send the above\u201d 5 tioned pattern as per directiuns given below.NB.\u2014Be sure to cut out ike Li tration ahd cui will Lhe cou\u201d i, CAT tuily hbeu out.l'be pattern cann IEC you in less than a week.Pri iv veDis In cash, postal note, or stays .dress, Witness\u2019 l'attern Liccert mes \u2018Wi:ness\u2019 Block.Mantreal.THE \u2018DAILY WITNESS\u2019 is gr published in the \"Witness RS the corner vf Craig and oto ; in the city of Montreal, Tougall and Frederick - © both of Montreal.coe at All business communications sew et TH dressed John Dougall & r ne, Office, Montreal, and all le Co a Editor, should be addressed tre 'Witness.\u2019 "]
