Attempts are often made to eeure the liberation of prion-ers through technicalities in the law. Lawyers who study sum things are paid high fees In gel iher.i off. An attempt was made this a lot oi men who have been sent up for elling drugs. Happily the applications were refused. Nothing can so easily bring the law into contempt a. Ihe acHwi of judges in vonvlruiiig it in such a manner as to defeat the ends or jnliee. To let a criminal free because some magistrate has not followed the proper court procedure in some small matter is hardly justice. The people who have been freed have usually been those who earn big money by illegal means and who are in a position to pay big fees (o lawyers lo get them off. Echo Of The Past At Witchcraft Trial. At the witchcraft trial just concluded here we are reminded that only a few years ago our forefathers believed in witchcraft and alleged 'witches were publicly burned by good Christian people. In lhoe days it Was a misfortune for a girl to be jiarlicii-larly beautiful or clever and it was even dangerous for a man to have much brains.

The failure or the Canadian National mid (1P.1L railway heads to agree on a policy for joint operation of the E.I). B.C. railway running from Edmonton into the Peace River district seems to indicate that in all probability the C.P.R. will hold on to the line, which it is still operating. The latter company is not much inclined to joint operation, it is retried, unless, it gets some definite advantage from doing so. There are slill rumors that the C.P.R. has its eye on Prince Rupert iUmi that the rnmiianv michl !. willinir In i-imii!ii proposal)! to lake over this section i ignis irom Mimoiiion lo Jasper, u it look over Uiis line it would then be inclined lo take more active steps toward the development of the Peace River country.
