The evidence, oral and documentary, VM a complete recital of incidents-many bf them lawless-which terrorized ns for a period of several weeks The evidence connected Mr. Kusacll rvitl the plans and deeds which as uppar-n intends, and in their effect or o-' nal in defiance of consti- authority. Hence the juSt.ce of theTherdjury representing the citizens of Canada, have found th.Xn.en A the laws and the regulations of the ht.itc with impunity. There are means to change the laws ot ehanszes are necessary, here are means to introduce reforms "ight even be unpalatable to many w.thm the State, but those means are not of the form attempted last May and June. Men who live in Canada must conform 1o the laws of Canada.

That was the. jury verdict, and it was a just verdict. We shall have more to say on phases nnd devlopments of the trial at a later period. Nickel Coinage for Canada Professor W. O.

Miller, Provincial (Jeol-ocist, of Ontario, is advocating, very stror.fi-Iv the adoption of nickel eoinape for (Viada. In a letter to the Toronto Glob" he. writes that durinp the last month the uubject of nickel coinape has been receiving much attenton from the press of Toronto and elsewhere. He goes on to say: "France has been using nickel coinage for years. In fact.

Great Britain nnd Canada are almost the only important countries that have not employed nickel in eoinage. Coins of pure nickel or of nickel nllovs are in use by over fifty countries. coinage will consume only a small proporton of the nickel produced. lthough this eoinage has long been in use, it is believed that the total nickel employed for this purpose-does not exceed 15.000 tons. France, for instance, used probably about 250 tons in 1918.

In that year the production in Ontario was over 44,000 tons, and the, quantity of New Caledonia nickel, refined partly in Europe and partly in the United States, was several thousand tons. "France and several other countries have pure nickel coins the kind that we have in Canada. The United States "nickel" contains only 25 per cent, of nickel to 75 of copper, is not such a durable nr attractive coin as the pure nickel ones of France and other countres. -It was long after the United States coin was introduced that a process was discovered to roll, hammer and stamp pure nickel. These pure iiekel coins are the most excellent that nave been made, they are most durable in wear, they never oxidize, and it is simply out of the question to counterfeit them suc-eessfullv.

"The Mint authorities will probably say that pure nickel coins are more costly to produce than are those of alloys of the metal This is owing to the fact that pure liickel has a higher melting point than the ulloys and is harder. But surely if France nnd other countries produce coins of this jnetal Canada can do so. "Canada should have a pure nickel coin-nge for the following reasons: Nickel is the most beautiful and the most durable metal for miuor coins, it, be successfully counterfeited, and it earn be called Canada's national metal, since this country produces over 80 per cent, of the world's output. "For years the officials of the Ontario Bureau of have been urging the use of nickel in Canadian eoinage. The present position of silver coinage is' another reason for the employment of nickel coins." U.S.

Railways Ivunmrs are many regarding the immediate future of U. S. railways. Outstanding provisions of the Cummins ralroad bill, passed by the U. S.

senate last week, are: Keturn of the roads to private ownership. Compulsory consolidation of all the railroad systems of the country into not less than 20 nor more than Ilj main systems. Control of the roads exercised by a iirw transportation hoard with greater powers than those of the Interstate Com- merce commission with technical details left to the commission. For the rate-making purposes the coun- try is divided into seven regions, The roads are to be allowed rates that will guarantee property value in each re- gion. learnings above this figure to be divided between the government and the roads.

it AUolute prohibition of strikes and lock- outs, with heavy penalties for violation of this provision. Labor difficulties to be re- ferred to a board of four employees and railroad executives with appeal to the transportation board. Interest centres in what President Wilson's position will be on the whole question. If he approves of the Senate's action, it is said the railways will return to private operation iu a few weeks. His Finish The rgnskrat sees his finish.

Demand for his pelt and its transformation into "Hudson seal," which is plain muskrat after all, lias fixed his fate. Not long and the little fellow will have gone the way of the buffalo, the great auk, the dodo and the passenger pigeon. With a habitat that ranged the width of the continent, from the gulf to the arctic barren grounds, the muskrat flourished and carried out his scheme of life. Until the trapper eame in. Yes, to be truthful, until woman demanded his body that his skin might provide furs for her.

Once 8 cents was the price for a pelt. Then maybe 55 cents in 1915. Now it is from one to three dollars each, according to grade. The price has doubled in a year. That has made profitable hunting.

He is beinir killed right now by the million. The deadly jaws of the tecl trap arc taking loll. The conical home is being broken open and the spear of the hunter quickly ends it. Killing off of greater fur-bearers has increased the demand for the smaller. As milady promenades in her "Hudson seal" coat she is displaying, quite unconsciously, of course, the tragedy of the end of some scores of lives.

Not to say anything of the dramajhe provider-enacted when he parted with anywhere up to $500 to the furrier for the coat. But the end of both the tragedies and the dramas are in sight. For the muskrat is going away! Money Is a Trust The Christian Guardian, as we have re-nratedly stated, is a journal which -speaks ts mind freely. In one of the recent issues there appeared an article entitled, "His Lord's Money." It is so "applicable to the times that we print it in full: Our Lord's par.ill-s are still marvellously in touch with human The characters which He sketched to Ilia spoil-bound audiences nineteen centuries airo are still instinct with life, and the lesions which they taught when the pantiles were first uttered they teach with equal power today. The men to whom their Lord loaned miney in the parable of the pounds have many modern representatives, nnd it.

behooves us to emphasize now, a then, that it. Is still "the Lord's nnd the money which was intended to he used in active service for the betterment' of men In legitimate business activity must not be allowed to remain Idle and unproductive, but must be used to make the world busier and better. This sorely. needed lesson of the parable, that money (or wealth) is simply a trust from' the Lord, is not very popular today amongst the well-to-do. Many of utterly refuse to admit it.

nnd we Insist, with not a little righteous indignation, that what money we may have wo have earned by our own hard toll, and It is a strange thinif If we are to be debarred from spending or using It, In any way we pjeaso. Hut when we begin to look into the matter more closely we are astonlsh- ed to find that our money In every case Is a Joint product. We might have labored until the day of doom mil we should not have made it If It had nut been for the co-operation of AVe are but cogs In a great human machine, and at best wo are only doing our share of the world's work, nnd we have a riuht, at most, simply to our share of the joint product We have not time to deal further with this argument, but would simply point out that if one of us takes more than share someone must inevitably take less, and too often one man claims as part of his honest earnings what really belongs to another weaker co-operator In the world's busy hive. That this elaim Is sincere does not make It correct, for after all it is easy for most of us to believe what Is profitable or what flatters'our vanity. Suppose we get possession of money and it Is really our earnings, Is It therefore ours? This Is one of the crucial questions of today, and the answer which Is coming from millions of honest, straight-thinking men Is that it is really a trust, nnd our country, our world and our hold us responsible for Its proper use.

To misuse, waste, or keep idle what we hold in trust is unpatriotic, unbrotherly and un-Christian. There are few things which test out a man more fully than his use of what bo considers his own money. As we look round about us and consider carefully the conditions under which the hulk of our people live, it is impossible to resist the conviction that, in view of the hard conditions which govern so many of our fellows. irofne r. sonal expenditures on the part of the rich are a -in against humanity and against our Heavenly Father.

Wealth is a trust which we have no right to use simply for our own comfort or gratill-cntiort, and we have jio right either to bury it in earth, or put It somewhere where it will merely be safe. Wealth Bhoubl be employed in the creation of more wealth, not for sel-flflii. but for patriotic and religious, purposes. One of the curses of the old world wa that Its gold was "rusted." which meant simply that it was non-productive, being used merely tor selfish aims. One of the most fertile sources of today's world-wide and revolutionary uniest Im to be found In the conviction as widespread and deep a the unrest, that 'the wealth ot the world is not being held In trust lor the many, but is being used for the advancement and advantage of the few.

And in the ilrtermaied protest against this mis-. use of a saorej trust the world of workers Is absolutely right. Our money, our wealth Is our in trust for liummiityNind Cml. and wVn we are false to our trust our claim to possession is seriously weakened. The so-called owner of wealth should realize that today the very worst foes of private ownership of wealth are the.

private owners themselves wherever they have forgotten their trust and proceeded to use their money for thenwelves alone. Not the Church alone, but the world is denian.lmg that men abandon the outworn doctrine of ach for himself THE LAW IN QANADA. (1'ortlaml oriKonian). A lormer official of a Canadian prison now a res.dert of 1-ortland. today remarkable testimony ot the efficacy of capital punishment at Winnipeg uo h.ivp occurred in that Important Canadian city and nine of the iiiiirdccs -wero cau-tht and 'were convicted or harped or were sent to the asylum lop the coin (ft insane and kept there In l'ortland.

in short months, IS homicides have occurred. We have not the record but we venture nothing when we say that the have not ill all case suffered the ox. treuie penalty of the law. None were banged. All.

probably, except the Claremont tavern desperadoes, who were "railroadcul," fought for delay and justice took its leisurely way with Uu m. In America there are few convictions for mui'dar and many murdem; in Canada, hanging is certain; and thera are lew murders. The lemon is aa significant a8 the contrast is shameful. There is no unwritten law in Canada, no Americana tlementia, no emotional rothing but guilt for niuider if there is murder. Juries are not moved by sentimental pleas, und courts do their duty.

The results arc salutary and unmistakable. Six clfcht ears ago a TeTus citizen be-I'uiiring to an aristocratic southern family, ran awuy with the beautiful wife, of a. friend named Smeed, also a high Btrurig southern gentleman. Tile lepers went to Canada. The outraged husband truced them there, and putting hid handy plol in his pocket went to Winnipeg, bent on revenge.

In the characteristic American fashion. Something about the atmosphere of Winnipeg caused him to and he consulted a law-er. He wan advised that if he killed bis faith-l'ws wife's paramour be would be hanged. Punishment for crime Ik a public matter, not a private paafime, In Canada. Smeed put his weapon back, and went home.

Later this guilty couple tired of their adventure and Its social ostracism, and went back to Texas. There the Lothario was met on the utreet one day and promptly alain by Smeed. He was of course acquitted by a gallant Jury of his peers. The death penalty diseruades undoubtedly But It will be of little use in Oregon as a preventive unless murderers are hanged, not exonerated and lavished with flowers and eympathy by foolish men -and gushy women. Letters to the Editor THE RETURNED SOLDIERS To the Editor of The Tribune.

glrW'hlle filling In answers on Questionnaire being circulated by the Cltlzens'-Lcague regarding tho unemployment situation among returned soldiers, my memory was refreshed by an incident that occurred at Winnipeg Beach last summer, and which I consider worthy of note by the (l.W.V.A. At a Council meeting at which I was pres. ent 'tenders" were received for scavenger work for the season. The tender of one, Mr. Lewis, was one dollar a day higher than of Harry Ford (a Teturned soldier) yet the principle or the lowest tender.

aot to speak of the added preference, which to my mind should have been shown the ex-service man, was not upheld. The writer had a petition framed and signed by a number of the merchants and residents of the town asking the Council for an explanation on this matter, but to date none has been given. Another Incident which warrants Investigation by the O.W.V.A. Is that of George Everett, at present captain of Norwod fire ball. Mr.

Everett was constable at the Beach when war broke out. and a married man with two of a family. Tho mayor assured him. on enlisting, that his Job would be given back to him were he fortunate enough to return home. The present constable is a man yjMf holds the wide res-poet aond admiration of all residents.

This, however, does not relieve the present Council from keeping Its obligation, or giving an explanation to Justify its action. I am' a taxpayer of the Town of Winnipeg Beach. In my own business, out of a staff of four employes, trtree are returned men. I therefore question the Mictions of the present council. NOAH T.

SKID.MQRE. PRICES AND PUBLIC (Ottawa Citizen) The Philadelphia Public Ledger quotes one of New York's greate-st merchants on tho statement that there In nothing being sold at reasonable cost. This merchant is of opinion that If the public "would only shop In the public press first an-1 then come to the stores provided with a knowledge which they derive from a perusal of the newspaper advertisements much good w.iuld be accomplished, and I think a great many buyers would be surprised at the economies they might effect If they used discrimination In their purchases." That there is a craze for the spending of money for the sake of spending by those who have it is undoubted. Yet those who are going in for extravagances should net be allowed to set the pace for the general which it would appear, they are doing at present. The public, particularly women buyers, are easily influenced by styles and styles cost a great deal of money In this age- In New York there Is a steady demand for hosiery at from $(10 to $100 a pair and shoes at $50 are reported to be very common, and largo sales are recorded at this figure, let as against this a noted New York merchant has sent to the government fair price committee a list of what is asked for shoes, clothing and hats, as established by current prices in the stores In the metropolis, which runs as follows: Men's suits to $47.50 Men's overcoats to 65.00 Men's shoes 5.95 to 10.00 Men's hosiery 22 to .75 Men's underwear 1.35 to 48 00 Women's suits 25.00 to 7.l!oO Women's dresses 15.25 to 48.00 Women's coats 18.90 to 39 50 Women's shoes 3.45 to 10.85 Women's hosiery 19 to 2j05 Boys' suits 5.90 to 20.

DO Boys' overcoats 8.50 to 15.90 Boys' shoes 5.25 to The inference would seem to be that the producer sets the prices. This view Is maintained by a Philadelphia shoo merchant, who is thus reported "The lowest-priced women's shoes we have are sold for $10. We sell no men's shoes for less than $8. But if our customers did not want these shoes and would not pay the price for them, we certainly would not stock up on them. And If we backed up on the jobber he would back up on the manufacturer and the price of shoes would collie down.

"That tendency has already begun- There Is no doubt about the fact that fewer shoes are being sold. The working of the law of supply and demand la already beginning to have Its effect." The moral would seem to be that If purchasers will lire cjiscrlmlnatlou in their buying, will back up the retailer in his demand for les expensive goods from the Jobber the high cost of living will be appreciably affected. There la, however, the Influence of extravagant buyers to be combatted by purchasers and elimination of the deslro on the part of all to purchase tho very highest priced goods, simply because of the mania for expensive commodities which has manifested itself in every capital, and in every country In the world, as an aftermath of the war. GENTLEMEN Wherever it Is spoken, there Is no man that does not feel and understand and use the noble English word "gentleman." And there Is no man that teaches us to bo gentlemen better than Joseph Addison, gentle In our bearing; gentle und courteous to our neighbor; gentle In dealing with his follies and weaknesses; gentle in treating his opposition; deferential to the old; kindly the poor and those below us In degree (for pocKple above us and below us in degree we must find, in whatever hemisphere we dwell, whether kings or presidents govern us); and in no republic or monarchy that I know of Is a citizen exempt from tho tax of befriending poverty und weakness, or respecting age, and of honoring his father and mother. Now, a gentleman can but be a gentleman, In Bradwuy, or the backwoods, in Pall Mall or California; and where und whenever he lives, thousands of miles awny in tho wilderness, or hundreds of years honeo, I am sure that reading the writings of this true gentleman, this true Christian, this notde Joseph Addison, must do him good.

He may take Sir Koijcr do CovoTloy to the. diggings with him, and learn to bo gentle and good-humored and urbane and friendly in the midst of that struggle in which he Is engaged. I take leave say that the most brilliant youth of tills city may read over this delightful memorial of a bygone age, of fashions long passed away, of manners long since, changed and modified, of noblu gentlemen, and a great and brilliant and po.lshed society, ana find In It much to charm and refine and instruct him a LOurteouKiicsM which can be out of place at no time and under no flag; a politeness and simplicity; a truthful manhood; a gentle respect and I deference which may be kept as the unhought grace of life, and he of mankind, loiij ufter its oil artificial distinctions, after periwigs and small-swords, and ruffles and red-heeled shoes, and titles an-1 stats and garters, have passed away. I will tell you hen I have been puit In mind of two of the finest gentlemen books bring us mention 'of, I mean our books (not books of humor); I will tell you when I have been put In mind of the courteous gallantry of the noble knight.

Drop on a greased pan by spoonfuls arid bake in a moderate oven ADYICE TO GIRLS By Annie Laurie Dear Annie Laurie: i I h-a-VB recently a yoiing man who lias been very attentive to me indeed. He has seemed sincere in his attentions and has taken me to the show once or twice. But I have heard that be is JiTSt a plain flirt, being the same to everyone. To me he does not seem that kind of a boy, and everyone says lip has changed my nature. From being Jolly, happy-go-luck girl he has made me quiet and more sensible.

He has made me strive to be rood, to be worthy of him, and yet has never breathed a wqrd of love to me. My boy and girl friends know of my love for him, and all tell mo that ho Is not worthy of my love. Now, dear Annie Ltturle, how they know all this is beyond me before they knew of my love for him they tall seemed to like him. He always seems to pay every attention to me, but. otherwise, he is nice with alj the girls.

Krom scraps of information which I know to be true, however, I have found that he seems to be a considerable flirt, land yet instinct tells me that he loves me. After stating facts, this Is my question: Do you think I should let lilm work such 4fn Impression on me or should I cast all thoughts of him away? Do you think that a flirt could ever recclly and truly love a girl? These may appear to be very silly questions, but to they are as scales, one weighing the other down. I want you to balance them for me. "4 24." P.S. The boy speaks a gTeat deal of me to all his boy frienus.

Can it mean he has no respect far me? Why not go on being plensant friends until the young man declares himself. Maybe he Is a flirt. It is rather Hard to tell sometime, but this is good ene for a girl, int not fall deeply in love until you know whether your love is going to be returned. You do not need to put all thoughts of him away; that Is, you can think of him as a p'eastint friend with whom you enjoy going out, but do not let your imagination run away with, until you dream of yourself an his sweetheart. Y'ou can control your thoughts as far as that, If you try-real hard.

It Is merely self-preservation that should make you do this. Your life is us important as his, und you should not throw it away. 1 certainly do think that a young man who has had a lot of girl friends- can love one very dearly, that is, If he is a gentleman. If bo Is not a gentleman he can never love truly. Dear Annie Laurie: I tarn a girl of 14 and am going- to business coiege.

I have been keeping company with a boy of 19 for about six months. Lately there has been a girl friend of mine trying to take him away from me as she Is Jealous. Should I Ignore this gni or never let on I know It. EYES. Bright Eves: Never let on yo-i notice It.

Likely In six months more jou will be to have some person take him off your hands. Attend to yoii dtudies now, and let boys come and go. If you start in being serious at 14 years, you are joli.g to do something foo'lsh.

Music will appeal to him, especially orchestral productions. I'M Think of Bob's Affair with Kath-erine Miller as Ancient History Bob was hit a bit hectic and I was a bit cold the result of our unusual conversation about the polygamous nature of man, and the compromising tolerance of woman. Husbands and wives do not often talk as we did that night.

Certainly our confidences hadn't brought us any closer together. Such talk never does, I suppose. It certainly doesn't get a wife unywhere, except in general kr.owledgo of the opposite sex. Knowing all this, I persisted In worrying my husband. "Bob.

Do women always begin it?" I asked. "You assume that my experience Is considerably broader than it really is, my dear," Bob answered In an evasive tone which I detest- "111 admit you're not widely experienced but you have heard other men talk, haven't you?" "Not much. Only blackguards talk. But I'm not blind wasn't in college wasn't in the army. I should say that half the time a man doesn't know that he's headed anywhere with woman until he arrives!" "Men are bigger fools than they seem!" I said in my most sarcastic tone- To myself, I thought: "Goodness gracloiisl I shouldn't wonder if my husband had been telling me a grand secret about his sex as well as about my own! Here's a phase of man's nature few women suspect few except those who take advantage of it.

And it's something all decent women ought to know, too. In self defense!" Bob wasn't a cad, I told myself. He never could be that. His statement only reinforced aa opinion of my own. I- had seen girls and women coquet all my days.

I realized that nature had put it in them for a purpose Just as she had planted something polygamous in so many men. Bob was a lilt hectic and I was mood which was one-half humiliation as it I myself were only a tool of nature. Did you arrive at the altar with me before you knew whefu you were headed?" You dear littlo goose! t.r course not! You're not common clay, Jam "Bob! Just recall how angry you were about what Dr. Certets said to me when you were asleep. He said, you remember, if you are not for me then you are not for any r.ob turned his pillow and gave It a vicious punch, and took a long time to settle himself comfcrtahly in his bed.

It delighted me to feel that I had stirred him to a state of undeniable Jealousy. "Let's cut out this line of talk. Jane dearest. We get nowhere." "Answer me. Bob!" "You never lured Certels one Inch.

Sure I know that!" "Then you've got to admit that there ure probably a lot of other women like me. Women who would scorn to entice a man even to tne altar!" "Certainly. There's my own mother and Martha Palmer and "And scores of others so good so trustful ao Innocent what's going on in this rotten old world that they that we lose out to Just common clay like Katherine Miller!" I gobbed. "No! they do not, Jane. They do not! Never!" Bob took both my hands In his own to emphasize his protest.

'Don't think so for a single moment, my darling wife! Why, I asked you to wear my name, dear piri. That is tho hor.or any ir. an can pay a woman. Doeni't that satisfy you? Can't you see that I never have a.iil never can love any wrman us 1 love you?" I "Maybe." I said. "At any rate, II compromise) I agree.

I'll oo as yu say I'll think of your affair with 1 Miss Miller as ancie nt history. I'll consider it of not much Importance. And, I'll pass over it lightly. Is there! anything more I can do for you. Mr.

But what was the use of telling him so? I felt that he wanted to end our too-revealing conversation. And I thought that perhaps man Is wiser than woman in wanting to avoid the. discussion of a subject about which they must forever differ so tremendously.

I had to push him back on Ills pillow. "Be careful," I pleaded. "If a sr-vunt should open that door "I'd have small chance of ever getting you out of this hole," Bob murmured. "I'm not your most Important Interest in Mexico, Bob." My husband moved uneasily. "No I'm not thinking of the tiger-lady this time," ir.y dcurr I've made a discovery which matches Jim's.

"Vi mean not until the trouble between the two countries la settled wh'-ther for peace or "Just that," Bob replied. "Tou we can perhaps do our own country i an enormous service by watching the two big men who are sending out their lines from this very hacienda, tiylng to start a war!" Morrison reported that at least rich American ranchers had been trapped by bands of robbets "and are held for ransom." "And you think It ts mostly to embroil the two countries?" Bob nodded, then said: "I think we'd better tay right here for oTie thing.
