It can order the abolition of grade crossings where it considers them to dangerous to the commun ity to be permitted, and can order the railways to construct subways or overhead crossings, or the instal lation of safety appliances at level crossings. It has the power to regulate the running and operation of trains, and can order changes in schedules or operation of additional trains to give better service for the accom modation of business. Railway companies must report to the board all cases of tatal or ser ious injury. ion Railway act, which gave to the Board of Railway Commissioners its life, protect the public, but it also protects the railway compan ies. For instance, a town where one railway is already located may de sire the entrance into town of an other railway and may wish to grant a location to the entering road which might prove injurious to the first road. In such a case, the first road may appeal to the Commission against this injustice, and the Board has the power to compel the second road to enter the town by another route. Saturday livening Post.

A prominent, mil oider house sent an advertiing proposition to us this week, and enclosed copy for a larger ad than any now running, in this paper. The proposition looked good to us, and the rate wasn't so bad considering what is usually offered by tr.inscit.iit adver tisers, who usually think the coun try editor will be willing and glad to accept that copy for a much low er rate than the home advertiser. The ad contained matter relative to groceries, furniture and some dry goods. It quoted prices probably considerable lower than any of the home merchants. These advertis ers can afford to use a little money for bait. The first order usually convinces the sane person that they cannot get something for nothing, even if it looks good on the start and the quoted price is less than what the home dealers make. Your home merchant is not a highway robber! He doesn't want to, orex- pect to get rich quick off the profits from his friends and neighbors. He spends his money here at home, pays taxes along with you, and in vites you to patronize him through the home newspaper. He cannot afford to send out expensive cata logues, legitimate profits and honest and square dealing w ill not permit it. but he has to have his goods and prices compared with mail or der houses, founded on shoddy goods and underhanded dealing. Can you satisfy yoursclt where you in any one incident secured what you considered the value of your money from a mail order house? Did you ever stop to think of the principle connected in so sending your patronage out of town? Do you think for a minue that any one of them would trust you for a cent? When you want credit you always look to the home merchant. Why not just as well spend your money with him when you have it? You send away for material aud ar ticles because you cannot get them here at home. Ask lor them at your dealers and by creating a de mand lor such things you will soon find them on their counters all of the time. We placed the advertis-1 ing proposition in our waste bas ket. The next time you receive a mail order catalogue, place it in the only place where it can do good in the fire. If, by keeping these advertisements out of the home newspaper, we can accomplish even a little toward keeping our money at home, we feel . satisfied that our energies aud loss have bfeu well spent.
