SILENCE IS GOLDEN

Editor, The Mirror Journal ; Dear Sir:—With your per- mission I desire to reply to

your own article and the com- munication appearing in the

issue of Jan. 15th, in which H. L. Dougan upbraids the local authorities for ‘a mis- carriage (in the eyes of that gentleman) of justice, and inci- dentally deplores the fact, if fact itis, that Mirror has be- come the plague spot of the North American continent; its happy homes degraded and demoralized and its children be- coming contaminated by the visits of women (or to be cor- rect, of a Woman in this case,) who was more to be _ pitied that censored, least of all by a minister of the Gospel.

Ihave been given to under- stand that the writer of the previous week's epistle to the Mirrorites was an instigator in the arrest of the women in question, and that he with others did not deem it it nee- essary to to lay their their com- plaint before the proper local authorities, but communicated with the department in Ed- monton. Why did not this morality squad interview the local administration in regard to this matter, and then, if no action was taken, carry the in- formation to the powers that be, higher up; or did they neglect to do so in order to ap- pear as moral reformers in the eyes of the public, with all the

advertising which the visit of|.

the Provincial detectives wo bring. The steps they took would imply that all the local authorities were aware of the state of affairs and had refused to act, Such not being the case, however, we consider the action taken uncalled for, and an insinuation that the Village Council and local J. P, are in- competent. It is on record that as soon as the guilty parties were brought before the Justice of the Peace they were fined and the women ord- ered out of town, We are safe! in saying that had the same complaint been laid before the J.P. by the same parties, the same result would have been obtained without any unneces- sary publicity. We have there- fore, to disagree with the state- ment made by H, L. Dougan that “it became necessary for provincial detectives to come in and raid the places,” And by the way where is the other place ?

slur on the Rev. Dougan saw fit to ven- tilate the matter in public print, this acquainting every man, women and child, able to read, in Mirror and surround- ing country, with a condition that was only known to a small number of our own res- idents. While we do not ap- prove of prostitution, yet we must agree with the majority of authorities on this question, that a discussion through the press, and particularly that of asmall town, is only harmful and only tends to arouse the curiosity of young people who, would, otherwise, have no in- terest in such things,

We must also disagree with the reverend gentleman when he states that “the children of our town could not fail to know what was going on right in our own midst,” i.e, previ- vous to the publication of his letter and for them- selves, A great many Mirror- ites did not know what was going on until enlightened by the articles appearing in The Journal. :

We were not aware that the “happiness of the homes of our citizens” was in danger until the Rev. Dougan called our at- tention to the fact. Were they in danger, as so emphatically stated ? Howeyer we do con- sider the indiscriminate publie- ation of such articles in our home paper as more a source of danger and one likely to im- peril the happiness of homes,

man, and to which the reverend gentlemah seems to take strong objection to, we think the J. P. displayed far more of the spirit embodied in the teach- ings of the New Testament, that our worthy friend him- self,as his letter would indic- ate.

With the regard to the earnings of such a woman, we are forced to take Mr, Doug- an’s word, as we know of no statistics on the subject and our personal experience is nil.

Salt Water Fishing

The ‘otal value of salt water fish fm fir't hands landed in Canada dur- ing the month of Ma~™, 1914, amount- ed to $1,791,259, whic, is 373,956 less than the total for May last year.

Spring herring was as abundant as ever, but as ice remained late on the coast and retarded fishing opera- tions, the catch was considerably be- low that for May last year.

“Yes,” replied the agent, “that is right. If your house burns down: we pay you one thousand dollars.”

Charles Dickens the title of his story, “Master Humphrey's Clock.”

It is a grandfather clock, inscribed with the name of the maker; William Humphreys of Barnard Castle, and the date, 1829, with a dial of brass and silvered metal, in a tall case of Dutch ‘acquer, with architectural top.

William Humphreys was the.son of Thomas Humphreys, a watchmaker of Barnaru Castle,“whose sho). was op- posite the King’s Head Inu, where Dickens spent six weeks in 1837 whils studying the Dotheby’s portion of “Nicholas Nickleby.”

Distinguished or Extinguished

The brotherhood of the men who kill eA€ch other was never better ex- emplified than by the funeral honors paid at Alexandria and Cairo to the grenadiers of Napoleon's army whose remains were lately discovered at Sidi Gaber. British soldiers of the Twentiéth Century presented arm3 ‘to the forgotten French heroet of

AlLthe ihe Higlteenth. and followed. them, to)

the tomb with arms reversed!

These men fell fighting against Abercrombie, in the Battle of Abou- kir. Here thé Gloucestershire Regi- ment earned the title of “The Fore and Aft’—a name curiously mis- used by Mr. Kipling. They were at- tacked in front and rear by. the French, and the frear-rank turned about and beat off the attack.

“Twenty-eight!” said the Colonel, as he saw the French approaching, “whut devilish lucky fellows you are! Today you must be either dis- tinguished or distinguizhed!” This chestnut is one which always bears repetition.

The Swimming Stroke of the Future

It is the Trudgeon Crawl that has put Hebner, Frizelle and McGillivray at the head of the list, and it was Frank Sullivan, now instructor of swimming at Princeton University, who first thought of combining tho crawl with the trudgeon.

Realizing that there was no hope of interesting’ the better swimmers, Sullivan some eigkt or nine years ago decided to take the bull by the horns and use green recruits. He persuad- ed four boys under sixteen years who could not swim at ll to let him teacao them, and he put them at the new stroke, which h. named he trudgeon- crawl,

It was a pure gamble, with the odds heavy against him, but his judgment is amply sustaiued in the fact that one of. them, Leslie Chiville, made his mark in Marathon swimming and re- tired not long ago; another, Richard

Frizelle, captured a number of dis- trict and national titles, then migra‘- ed recently to Contral America, But the other two, Perry McGillivray and Harry Hebner, are today tL2 greatest pair of all-round swimmers in Amer- ica, probably in the world.—-Outing.

Dryden’s New Pump

A new powerful turbine pump has recently ben added to the plant of the Dryden Timber & Power Co. The pump delivers 1,500 galloons a minute to a height of 150 feet, and is Criven by a direct coupled 90 horse power motor. A continuous water supply is thereby stored up in the water tank 150 feet above the banks of tlie Wab- igoon, sufficient for both mill and fire purpose.

In a epee in the senate on Ha- Wallan aifairs, Scnator Depew, of New York told this story:

When Queen Lilukalani was in Eng- land during the English queen's jubi- lee che was received at Buckingham falace. In the course of the remarks that passed between the two queens the one from the Sandwich islands said that she had English blood in her veins.

“How so?” inquired Victoria.

“My ancestors ate Captain Cook.”

“You do not speak to him?”

“No,” replied the scholarly girl.

“When I passed him I gavo him the geological survey.”

“The geological survey.”

“Yes. What is commonly known as the stony stare.”"—Washington Star.

A young artist once persuaded Whistler to come and view his latest effort. The two stood before the canvas for some moments tn silence. Finally the young man asked timidly: “Don’t you think, sir, that this paint- ing of mine is—well—er—tolerable?”

Whistler's eyes twinkled danger- ously.

“What is your opinion of a toler- able egg?” he asked.

Where the “Empress” Sank

The St. Lawrence river owes its name to the accidental conjunction of the Festival of St. Lawrences with the day upon which the first explorer imagined he had discovered the river. Jacques Cartier in 1534 heard from the natives of the Magdalen Island cf a mighty stream threading the contisent to an unknown source, a:d it was while testing this legend tnat he sail- ed up the gulf until he could see the land on each side.

In the following year he made a bolder expedition with three ships and the blessing of th: Bishop ot St. Malo. He ailed past Roumiski and on to Quebec, then known by the Indians as Stadacona. Here the fleet anchored. The French, however, failed in their efforts to colonize the country until a century had passed, largely owing to their high-handed treatment of the Indians.

There ts is nowlting repulsive in Mill- er’s Worm Porcers, and they are as Pleasant to take as sugar, so that few children will refuse them.

They can be thoroughly depended upon to clear all worms from the system.

Few Jap Girls Unwed

According to the statistics of the last Japanese blue book, there are very few Japanese women who do not marry. The majority of Japanese girls merry at 21 years of age. The men at 26, but marriage at the age of 15 is not unknown, and 4,- 000 marriages at the age of 11 were registered in the case of men last year, while 7,000 girls of the age of 16 were married. The number of men who set up house for themselves at 80 years was 18,000. The decline in the figures after this is rapid; only 3,700 men and 1,600 women of the age of 40 married last year in Japan.

Perhaps the oldest voter to exercise his franchise in the recent Ontario elections was Levi Thompscn of Rob- lin, aged 96 years. He said he hoped his would be the casting vote to ban- ish the bars of Ontario. His son John, his randson Ira and his great-grand- son, Ralph, also voted it the same subdivision.

A. F. Hare, of Grafton, who is 95 years of age, voted for Sam Clarke, Liberal, in West Northuz:berland.

Struggles of an Inventor

Sir Henry Bessemer, who was born 101 years ago, was one of those in- ventors that ill luck pursued, and from whose clutches he finally escap- ed by indominatable perseverance. In 1833 the British government was los- ing $500,000 a year by the fraudu- lent misuse of embossed deed stamps. essemer rendered this impossible by he use of perforated dies which dat- ed the stamps. He presented the in- vention to the government, which for- got its promise of a permanent ap- pointment, but thanked him. His great invention, in the manufacture of steel so impressed the ironmakers that they | paid higg $125,000 for licenses, and “wanted their money back.” He had forgotten the proportion of fools to wise men, It took him two years to render the process “fool proof,” and he pressed his point home by the set- ting up of his factory in Sheffield.

Clear Seeing Massenet

Critics have not yet assigned the late M. Massenet his permanent niche in the temple of fame, but most of them agree that he was a charming althiugh not a great composer, He had one quality of character, how- ever, which is not the invariable ac- companiment of genius, musical and other—he could apprecirte genius in others. An anecdote taken from the Paris Figaro attests it:

A critic was indulging in extrava- gant praise of Massenet to his face cod wound up his flattery:

“Wagner! What was he? His tal- ent is most absurdly exaggerated. 1 have to pick and choose among a@ lot of rubbish in Wagner.”

“Is that so?” commented Massenet suavely. “I should be quite happy with what you leave.”

“Hold hard, madam! for heaven's sake hold hard or that camel you are | riding will be the death of some of my hounds,” cried the choleric master of one of the southeastern counties’ packs of foxhounds to a lady who was riding rather too close to the hounds.

that he ordered them off the street. Further more can you prove that she had a profession- al game of pool; and by what authority do you imply that the young men about town, would or did look favorably upon the antics of this woman and her intoxicated companion. Most of the young men, with whom I have spoken, have felt insulted by your suggestion, that they would be proudof such actions, and are of the opinion that anyone who would impute such motives to them is worthy, not only of a temporary holi- day, but a permanent residence at Ponoka.

In conclusion, I wish to say that we are all for a clean town, but I, for one, do not be- lieve in “washing dirty linen” in in public. If the letter and articles going into detail, in your recent issue had not been published, the fact that Mirror had been the scene of a dis- graceful orgy of debauchery would not have been made publie from Coast to Coast and all through the United States, as The Journal has an Ameri- wide circulation, 7a, if this is your ~ror a “clean nely

can-,

Gentleme. idea of giving das. reputation,” I must strc. disagree with your notion of what helps to give a town a good name. There are events in the life of all communities which tend to have a demora- lizing effort on the inhabitants, but I fail to see where any material benefit is gained by

the publication of the facts. This not only applies to in- stances that have occurred in the past and will continue to occur in the future. - Yours, &e. “PUBLICAN”

“Silence Is Golden”---But!

In another column in this week's issue appears a letter signed “Publican” in which he takes exception to several things contained in the Mirror Journal of January 15th, one of them being a letter from the Rev. Mr. Dougan, of which we will say nothing as our columns ‘are at all times open for com- munications, but, “Publican” al- so takes a slap at us for a couple of articles written by ourselvesthe editor of this pa- per), which we have no objee- tion to as. we are alway open to criticism and we will hold no grudge for criticism that is merited, but in this case we can not see where we have any criticism coming as in the first place we did not accuse anyone of being under intoxication as the letter says we did and sec- ondly we did not say or imply

erstepped in his desire to take aslap at us.

As to the letter's reference to the constable we can only say that if he did not know the state of affairs until this ap- pearance on the streets of the parties concerned, he should have taken action to clean the town of this sort of trancients, when he became aware of one stopping in town, or at least ac- quainted the village council or our local Justice, of the case and given them a chance to deal with it, and what's more this appearance on the streets was on the 4th of January, while the provincial officers did not appear and make the raid until the 8th, therby giv- ing the local constable four full days in which to act, which, in our estimation was ample time. Also the statutes possitively states that anyone male or fe- male appearing in public dress- ed otherwise than such are lia- ble to arrest, and it was the lo- cal constables duty to make an arrest on the spot, when he discovered a woman masquer- aeing in man’s clothes.

And if the constable would have done his duty in regards to this, all this “Washing of dirty linen” would not have ap- peared in public,

But there are times in the| _ history of all communities that
