For several years, St. Johns, prac

been the center of one of the most
bitter and constant fights against an
open town and Sunday closing. Tues

the good government ticket, at which
time also, city dock bonds to the
amount of $60,000 were voted.

mary, either Mr. Fulton or Mr. fake
must step aside. We have studied the
situation carefully and draw the fol
lowing conclusions:
1. Should Mr. Cake receive the re
publican nomination. It will place Mr.
Chamberlain "between the devil and
the deep sea" without a platform to
stand on, he having voluntarily as
sumed a non-partisan, happy-go-lucky
gait, g:lr. the 'w'''u hog on
statement No. 1. and toiling his dem
ocratic brethren )' recently loved so
well, that he ties become Infatuated
"with most of the It'joscvtit policies"
until after the June election after
which time the probationary state
will cease and te again permitted to
exorcise his conscience by voting for
democratic measures In the senate, if
elected.
2. That as Mr. Cake has firmly
stood for, and manfully' defended
statement No. 1 for the pest two years
there would be no Just cause for re
publicans to prefer a new convert
from 'the'' democratic ' ranks on this
question to the exclusion of all other
questions of vital 'Importance to the
state and nation which will como up
during the senatorial tci'm.
3. That In the llaht of p.ist history,
vl.l, li.to!.:!atlv? hH-f-Vfornint use
of mony to "Influence" senators and
representatives, men seeking election
to the legislature on senatorial years
to see the fun; special train running
with all other corrupting Influences
In connection therewith, thus bringing
shame and disgrace on the fair name
or our state, our people will never
again return to the old system of
election by the legislature.
4. That a very largo majority of
the newspapers In the state are first,
last and all the time In favor of the
people electing a senator.
6. That nearly every grange In the
state has declared by resolution that
they will not support candidates for
the legislature who are opposed to
election by the people.
6. That It Is a republican measure
passed by a republican legislature.
7. Nearly every candidate that has
announced for the legislature has
subscribed to statement No. 1 at least
In modified form, and those who
failed had to come back and take
their medicine.
8. With 30,000 republican majority
behind Mr. Cake, would It be possible
for Mr. Chamberlain to Jump sideways
into the United States senate by us
ing a little soft soap on weak-kneed j
republicans? We think not.
9. Should Mr. Fulton be nominat
ed, the conditions would be entirely
reversed, thus placing Fulton on the
defensive Instead of Chamberlain,
which would at least greatly reduce
the republican majority.
In view of these facts as we see
them, we must say that to our minds,
the safest, surest and best thing for
republicans to do Is to vote for Mr.
Cake for United States senator. Cor-

. Toronto, Ont., April 8. An ix-!
haustive Investigation of the mode oft
life of the Doubhobors, the Russian
religious fanatics who have settled In
Canada, has been undertaken and
some sensational developments are ex
pected. It Is alleged that the mem
bers of the various Doukhobor colo
nies practice free love, dozens of men
and women living together In the same
room, and that young girls are forced
at tender age to adopt the commun
istic Ideal of marriage. It Is stated
thut very few parents attempt to care
for their own children, but turn them
over to the community to be provided
for from the common fund. Some of
the Doukhobors refuse to bury their
dead, believing that the soul of the
deceased would be unable to escape
from the grave. Corpses are taken to
secluded spots and left to serve as
food for the wolves. Physicians are
not allowed to treat their sick, the
leaders declaring that Jesus is with
them all the time and that no human
power could serve to overt the fate of
one who is "called." '
At Fort William, Ont., the mem
bers of an Investigating committee
visited a Doukhobor dwelling, which.
In their opinion, was large enough
for possibly 18 people at the most,
but there they found 76 men,, women
and children, ranging in age from IB
to 60 years, lying about the small
rooms, nude and uncovered, without
the slightest regard for decency or
common morality. '
The committee found that these
people practiced free love, marriage
being unknown to them. The chil
dren born from these promiscuous
unions are cared for out of the com
mon fund. In this way girls grow up
and become lost to their own parents
at an early age, becoming the free
wives of the rest of the community.
Such conditions were found to exist
that steps were at once taken to dis
band the commune, and Investiga
tions are being made to determine
whether similar conditions exist
throughout the Doukhobr villages In
Saskatchewan and Alberta.

RIVERSIDE ADDITION
MEAR THE BIG SAW M"
has become so great, that it has been decided to advance the price on lots in that
addition. ' ( - i .
By comparing the prices at which lots in Riverside Addition have been sell
ing, with the prices of similar property in other sections of the city, it will be found
that lots in Riverside Addition have been selling at too low a figure. .
Before advancing the price, however, it has been deemed only fair to give due
warning to those who have been contemplating buying, but who have been delaying
from time to time, therefore
TAKE NOTICE
that during the remainder of this month (April), prices will remain the same as here
tofore, but on the first day of May there will be a general advance of 10 per cent in
prices,-therefore all those who wish to take advantage of this advance must buy this
month.
Special Inducements uill be given those who build this season houses cost
ing $1000.00 or more.
