| WHAT THE BEAVER SAYS.

A photograph of a beaver which
has felled a tree, after weeks of
[persistent gnawing, is published
by the Canada Lumberman and
Woodworker. This captain of in-
dustry is described as ‘‘a suecess-
ful descendant of the pioneer
lumberman of North America.”
On being interviewed recently as
to his view on the lumbering sit-
he said:

VOTES FOR SOLDIERS

It was quite right on the
part the Liberals to
protest at the plan sug-
gested by the Borden gov-
ernment for taking the
vote of the soldiers at the
front. Their idea was to
have each man fill in the
ballot in front of a com-
missioned officer. No one
believes that the men at
the front should be dis-
franchised but it is quite
in order to object to the
method employed. It is
evident that the value of
the secret balance would
be at once lost, but why
have an election at all at
present, when the chances

But to make it a
little broader, is it right
that any government
should be trusted in such
a case? Isn't it putting
just a little too much re-

weakness? Why not play
the game on the square?
