Ofhe Editor Of The Sends Home Letter, Gazette 176 WERE IN THE PARTY He Is Greatly Impressed Canadians' Respect of Lnw and Order. ARRIVED IM FRIDAY Medicine Hal, Aug. 5, 1906. Gazette: As the Pennsylvania State Editorial excursion party has now crossed the continent and ia well on its way east, the 17(5 persons comprising this big family have gotten their impressions of this wonderful land of promise fairly well catalogued and are in position to express them, albeit it will be many days before the great mass of information received will be thoroughly digested and assimilated. A word concerning our party and our train.

There are 176 persons properly comprising the editorial party, the ladies slightly outnumbering the men. We have had at all times from three to five Canadian government and railway officials with us and at various stages of the journey the wives or daughters of some of these have joined U3. Our train is made up of five Pullman sleeping cars, a dining car, a day coach and a baggae car, and on the heavy grades of the Rockies four engines were required to move us along. There are five Pullman porters, five cooks, and six dining-car waiters, besides the Pullman and dining car conductors. Our dining car rejoices in the short name "Quantzintecomatzin," an Aztec word signifying "The noble eater from the royal dish." To many of our party the thought of living for three whole weeks in a sleeping car was almost a deterrent before the journey was begun, yet now everybody has become accustomed to the change in the manner of living and the "stuffy sleeper" has no terrors.

In fact, after same of our entertaining tut wearying explorations of the towns and places of interest which we visit, the remark is often heard, "Well, I'm glad to get back home, "as we enter our train. There is no copyright on the expression "I've surely had my eyes opened. I never dreamed that all these beautiful towns and all these up-to-date people existed in the 'wilds' of Canada," for that expression is common property and is frequently expressed. Many of us left home with a vague that Canada was made up of a populous provinces around Montreal, Toronto and Quebec, all the balance being a vast unsettled region, sparsely populated with Indians, semi- civilized French Canadians and homesick immigrants. In place of that we have found a veritable Garden of Eden with billowy fields of waist-high wheat ready for the harvesters; miles upon miles of oats with stalks two and three feet high.

We have seen great herds of sleek cattle feeding upon the green foot hills and thousands of fine horses which have never been under shelter. At various places where we have stopped the citizens have brought to our cars great bunches of sweet peas, pansies and verbenas which would delight the hearts of our flower-raising women in the States. Roses are still in bloom in places and there is a be- profusion of petunias, nasturtiums and all of remarkable brilliance. At intervals along the railroads are located fine towns and cities, and they are far from being back-woods places. Unlike our ramshackle new towns in the States, these Canadian town a are started upon modern lines and by up- to-date, progressive people.

Here one finds hotels that would put to shame the best to be seen in Indiana. Up here "behind the moon" we find the women beautifully waists, white shoes and all that; the men wearing Panama hats, and many qf them speeding over the broad avenues in their own big touring cars, or driving high-stepping trotters in rubber-tired runabouts. One is particularly struck by the fine hotels in even the small towns. These are generally built of yellow brick or stone. This is accounted for by the fact that in Canada there are no saloons aside from hotels, and no license is granted unless the hotel is in a good and commodious building.

The saloons close at 7 o'clock in the evening and there is no side-door subterfuge. In Canada people do not dodge or evade the law with impunity. On the contrary they respect and obey it. have 1 seen such universal re. gard for the majesty of the law and Such popular support of it.

Even the Villages.have their Boards of "for the promotion of trade and preservation of law and One ttian asked what use there i was for a of Tracte in so small a pface shid: "We are here first of all to secure business) Secondly, we tako jare of the peace and good order of fhe place. Recently a disreputable joint opened here. The Board Consider ed the matter, brought prefigure to bear at the right place and the joint, was forced out of town. Wo are here for the good of our Sabbath observance in Canada IP a reality, not a laughing stock. Drug stores and rating houses are allowed to do business on the clay of, rest, hut everything ehe is closed up tighu.

The people are 1 a church-going people and line houses of worship are seen everywhere. The church is not afraid to declare its enmity to the saloon, and the saloon power has wholesome- respect for the Christian In all these new towns the churcr- gets on the ground as soon as the saloon and gives no quarter. This ig in encouraging contrast to the conditions in our border towns of America where the saloon and the gambling hell are usually the first places of attraction to the new settler. The Canadians are better acquainted with our laws and institutions than we are with theirs and if unwillingly driven to it in argument show many points ol superiority in their methods of lawmaking to those of the Spates. They say we make too many laws and enforce too few.

Yet they greatly admire us and want to be neighborly and have a better understanding between our two nations. "Increased respect for our State Constabulary is necessarily engendered by an observation of the results of the work of ihe Canadian mounted police, a similar body of men. There are in these vast provinces but 1,700 of these officers, this requiring them to rangt over a large area of territory, but they have an intimate knowledge of affairs and manage to be on hands wherever their presence is apt to be required hese red jackets are no respectors parsons and, quiet and unassuming as they are, their authority is fecognized as hiving been delegated by the King and it is unquestioned. "The English atmosphere is every where, a feature of life here wHch was a distinct surprise to me. Th round, full tone of the voices of tht people would proclaim their ancestrj even were the unquestioned loyalty tc the King not so universally manifest Scotch, Irish and Welsh are here in great numbers, and great parties colonists from Britain arrive nearly every week.

"The government takes good care of the immigrants which come to Canada, a feature which our government would do well to emulate. At all the larger towns Emigration Buildings are located. Here the "tenderfoot" is quartered upon his arrival, and he is well taken care of at government expense until he selects a homestead or finds employment. In this way privation is prevented and the new citizen is protected from sharks who might otherwise cheat the eyes out of him before he got settled. Another feature svhich impressed me wherever we went was the number of flags which were displayed.

Dear Sir. As we have been away from Indiana for 16 days, we thought we would ask for a few lines in your valued paper. We arrived safely at Point Pleasant, W. and have purchased a large tract of coal land in Putman county. We left Charleston on Thursday, August 2, and visited Huntington W.

and Portsmouth, O. From there we went to Cincinnati and visited a number of interesting places, including Coney Island, about 12 miles from the city. There were aboutfc 2,000 people on the boat going up, and about 12,000 people visiting at the island that Jay. We also visited Eden Park. Everything was exhibited there except Adam and Eve.

We afterwards visited at the zoological garden in the suburbs of Cincinnati; but did not go to "Rats Row," as we understood that no one policeman would go there bj himself. We visited other towns in Ohio and several cities in Kentucky. We expect to arrive home the last of this week. W. H.

T. L. the the am the (lag of Great Britain is constantly fl ying. These Canadians profess to be great admirers of the Americans, as they call us of the United States, and say the best settlers they get come from across their southern boundry." The wimeri readers of the Gazette will doubtless be interested in learning omething of the preparation and serving of meals in the land of the Canucks. These women are good cooks the meals which have been served us being, with rare exceptions, lirst-claap.

An American is impressed by the great array of preserves, jams and marmalades of the good, old fashioned kind, which are offered on the bills of fare. Then there are tarts, and turnovers and puddings such as are seldom found on the menu cards of our hotels. Water is seldom erved at meals, and the great demand for this American dinner adjunct astonished the natives wherever our party appeared. Ice cream or other ices are rarity, the rich steamed puddings of Old England and thick, savory pies without bottom serving in their place. Tea is the almost universal table beverage, and our American demand for coil'ee doubtless greatly embarrassed some of our most hospitable entertainers.

Wherever we have gone the people have received us with unfeigned cordiality. Hospitality is the quality of these people to which I would give greatest emphasis. Warm-hearted and generous, they have put to shame our Pennsylvania idea of hospitality, and have made at times really uncomfortable by showers of unexpeted kindness. Of the many rich experiences at the various points of our itineiary, of the broad, fertile plains and beautiful mountains which wu have crossed, ot the line towns and cities which entertained us; of the fine farms and ranches which can be otained here almost for the asking, much remains to be RECENT DEATHS, Ralph Clawson.
