OPENING UPPER CANADA
U will bo well to k«ey an eye
oa Canada. That immense do
main has mighty possibilities and
although, there is a disposition °n
this side of the border to regard
incredulously the many enthusi
astic prophecies made for It, most
of them ure likely to be filled.
Here, for instance, is something
calculated to surprise a good many
Americans; Ten lighthouses have
been established, in Hudson's Bay
and a railroad has nearly been
completed from Winnipeg to Port
Churchill oa its western shore.
For Jive months in the year Hud
son's Bay and the straits connecting
it with the Atlantic ocean at the
soutfc of Greenland are navigable
by steamships. The route thus af
forded for the shipment of grain
from the great wheatflelds of
southwestern Canada to Europe is
much shorter and cheaper than
any' now available.
Hudson's Bay is associated in the
minds of the majority of people
with ice iloes, polar bears and Es
kimos. But its outlet is farther
south than all of Alaska except its
Southernmost strip of coast. Its
latitude is about that of the north
end of Scotland, Clrristiania and
Stockholm on the Scandinavian |
"peninsula, and St. Petersburg in |
Russia. The summer climate of ;he I
bay Is so temperate, bracing and !
equable that the day will almost 1
certainly come when it will be
made available for health and |
Pleasure seekers.
The Hudson's Bay railroad and
steamship line may be considered
certain to do wonderful things for
Canada.
XO MOKE NAPOLEON'S
Noting the age of the generals
who are directing the war in
Europe a good part of the world I
is looking to see a second Napoleon t
emerge in the conflict. I
Von Emmich is sixty-five years i
old. Von Kluck sixty-eight, Von
Bulow sixty-eight, Von Moltke
sixty-six, Von Hinderberg, sixty
seven, Kitchener sixty-four, smith
Dorien fifty-six, French sixty-two
and Joffre, pau and Gallieni near
ly seventy. But there is little
likelihood that they will be com
pelled to step aside to give way to
younger men.
Modern warfare has no place for
commanders such as the "Little
Corporal" and the dashing mar
shals whom he raised from the
ranks. The military profession
has become very complex and diffi
cult. To reach the places of high
est responsibility in it requires
not only great ability and special
aptitude but perfect training
and a vast technical knowledge
touching many branches of science
that requires years of constant ap
plication to muster. Xobody who
has observed the wonderful equip
ment and proficiency of the Ger
man armies can fail to have been
impressed by that fact.
Warfare, both on land and sea.'
has itself become a science.—Cleve- ,
land Leader. !
ONLY FORCE BEHIXXD VILLA 1^
Villa's case against Carranza,
In brief, says the Cleveland Leader, a
1b that he thinks the "First 4
Chief,"' to whom th© ex- f
highway robber vowed undying al- 1
legiance when he went into the
constitutionalist movement as an '
officer, will not conduct an elec- s
tlon ""for" president of Mexico fairly. t
Also, he does not believe that Cur- *
ranza, if elected president, would 1
be a good man for the place.
That is, Villa accuses Carracza, a
la advance, of frauds not yet com- €
mitted, condemns him as unfit for ^
an office he has not yet been nom- -
inated for, much less elected to j
hold, and declares that at the cost (
of civil w»r, regardless of its losses ,
and suffering, he will prevent Car
jrom auaiMug v**w »«-n
lositlon in the Mexican ^oyern
uent.
A more brazen appeal to force
vug never made. Villa holds no
ommisslon from the Mexican peo
ile to decide who is fit and who is
uilit to be their president. He I
Las never been made a judge of I
he qualifications of candidates for "
he highest office in the republic,
fe has absolutely no right except
he strong hand to take any such
•osition as he has assumed.
If Villa can put a man of his
hoosing in the president's office
>y forco any other general -who
night have the power at any time
rould have an equal right to over
urn all peaceful and lawful
nethods and use his soldiers to
hrow one president out of office
ind place another In hi3 stead. It
iets an example of brute force and
itter contempt for law before the
>eopl0 of Mexico.
Vet au administration in Wash
ington which is supposed to love
'eace and revere the law is gen
rally believed to favor the cause
»f the professional thief, inciden
ally a murderer, who proposes to
nstali a government to suit him
elf, by the use of his army, in ab
olute defiance of the laws and
onstitutlon of his country.

MKTKUSALEH lived nine hundred and sixty-nine
years and wrote all his li-tiers as his fathers did.
Why shouldn't he? He had plenty of time. With
him it wasn't a case of saving time but of killing time.
But we don't live so long nowadays and most of us have
gotten over the Methusaleh idea in the last thirty ;'can;. We
have found that the time saved and the labor saved by the writing
machine is worth saving by everyone who has writing to do.
Typewriting is tivo or three times faster than pen writing, it is
easier and less fatiguing, it loots better, and it is the up-to-date way to
write. Reasons a-plenty for buying a typewriter, don't you think?
The typewriter for which YOU and most people have
been waiting is the new
•Remington
