K.iitor L'.MI'LOYEU HE(;GAKS There aTe all ways of playing upon the finer fielinps of the people in this world and one of these was brought to our attt-iitiiin la.st week when a man vkitli only one let; was around presentinjc cards to the citizens "in town requextiii^ small dimutions in order to purchase an artificial limb. On this card wns a notice that the unfortunaU' bearer had lost the leg the lumber bush and noted that any- thing the citizen wished to give would be acceptable. At the l>ott<ini of the card was a vyrse: "It was only an ac- cident but who can say, the same may happen to you some day." This was a fine ap.'ical that should have work- ed and brouRht forth more sympathy than was furthcominn, but it happen- ed that another trentlenian in the same predicament had visited town a couple of weeks before with the identical appeal, having lost his leg the same way. What made us sit up and take notice was the little poem at the bottom of the card. We don't mind contributing our mite to worthy causes, but this system of wholesale begsfing should be decidedly condemn- ed and about the only way of stopping it is by refusing altogether to contri- bute. Cases have been revealed where men, who have been deprived of legs, or afflicted from other causes, have been employed to travel the country with appeals for assistance. The employee is paid a certain wage each week and the employer exacts all mony above that amount which is coll- ected. Maybe some of these are worthy cases for help but it looks to Us that this begging .scheme is being highly commercialized in this country. SquaniJsh n.,r'.h OT Vancouver city. It was at first suggested that the electric sup- I'ly should be for street only, hut the Indian populatio^, have insisted on having theli houses wired. apJ they will discard the old oil lamps, which V. i-re at one time an evidence of their civilization. The British Columbia "Siwash" is not so very far behind his l)rethren in Eastern Canada, who have readily turned to the cultiva- ti .;> 01 the bO'l and to other produc- tive employments, though there are still numbers of Indians who prefer l!»e lite of the Nomad. Thus they re- iv.r.ir tho wards ot thi' government aid keep apart from the activities of rooriern civiliz:\ ion. Thirty years a;:o, ihcy were given the opportunity to vote for members of parliament, but thi-y did not appreciate the con- cossii.n, and when, at a subsequent revision of the law relating to the francliise, the vote was withdrawn, no one complained. No movement for thi- enfranchisement of the red man has since been promoted.

Ninety fcne per-cent of the persons afflicted in the prov- ince referred to, it is asserted, were cured, but what is mora important, this eminent physician maintains that there was much evidence that iodine is a preventive as well as an alivia- iative agent. What is needed to avoid the necessity for serious oper- ations such as one deemed necess- ary when the disease has reached an advanced stage, is for parents and others to secure the advice of a com- petent physician, and bby doing so it may be overcome with comparative ease. It is not well, in this trouble, or in any other sickness, where drugs have to be prescribed, to postpone consulting a physician until the at- tack has reache<l an advanced stage, yery early advice and treatment will save much ivory and inconvonienien- ce, indeed, may save or prolong life. Indeed we sometimes wonder whe- ther or not it would not be to the advantage of the community to pay a medical man to keep its m.emher.1 .well, rather than look to him for a cure after they have suffered from a malady, and engaged in, to them, a hopeless struggle to effect a cure.

PATTERSONâ€" ACHESON Heavy Electric Storm WITCHERY and the INDIANS That the aboriginal population in Western Canada has not been entirely civilized, though tt has made decided advancement, was evidenced at the trial and conviction of Big Alex and Edie Toot, an Indian man and wom- an at Prince Rupert, the terminus of the Canadian National Railway. These Indians were found guilty of killing an Indian youth, who wns sus- pected by his fellows of being inhab- ited by an evil spirit, and of having powers to bewitch to their undoing those coming under his spell. For the crime of manslaughter the guilty ones will serve a term in te peniten- tiary. We are inclined to marvel at the foolishnes.!) of these children of British Columbia's wild.s, but it is not so very long ago since the New England Puritans regularly burned old WAmen a.s witches, and to this day the atone on which the burning took place is shown to the tourist on the central .s<|uare of .SBlcm. The Pac- ific Coast I:idinn« can therefore urge precedent for their ob.session. Nor must it be imagined that the Canada- ian aboriginals arc as a whole the backward population that this witch craft crime rr'ght lead an nnimform- ed person \,< imagine.
