TUESDAY, May 23 MORALS AND THE RE-FORMER Toronto is not the only place that is trying by restrictive measures to conserve the morals of its young people. From Ketchikan, Alaska, comes a notice to the effect that Mayor Thomas Torry of that burg, wil! prosecute any person under the age of sixteen found on the streets of Ketchikan after 10 o'clock at night, after Saturday, May 13th. We have a similar by-law on our own city record, though little attempt is made to enforce it. The intention is good, the main effect of the by-law if enforced would probably make for good. But at best it is a clumsy way of cultivating young morals. Why, for instance, staying up late o’nights should be an offence one night, and a permissable thing the following night is hard to under- stand. All arbitrary measures are clumsy, and must fail in many individual cases, no matter how well they may work in the mass. The trouble is that in morals more than in most other things we confuse causes and effects. There is a reason. Morals are a com- paratively recent development in the race. The mass of people has not yet had time to analyse and codify moral phenomena. Conscience which is the flowering of morals, has not yet been even defined satis- factorily. Take the question of divorce, which is now agitating the people oi Great Britain and the United States, and bids fair to agitate the people of Canada before many years are past. Many persons, anxious for the moral welfare of their land are concerned about it. They think it is wrong even for newspapers to chronicle the proceedings of the court. True there are newspapers which are to be censured for their manner of treating these cases, for the method they employ of culling the garbage from the court records, and presenting these, with highly spiced seasonings as a literary dish for their readers. But the mere fact that a number of persons unhappily mated have been able to free themselves from an unhallowed bond is not an evidence of an immoral state of society. It is an evidence of a moral state of society. There is no worse form of immorality, than the compulsory mating of two persons who have neither love nor respect for each other. The horror of it is not less revolting because it is enforced by the pitiless compulsion of respectable social opinion, to do, is to hasten the process. Now, when I get a divorce case, I fee I am doing a good work.” In the realm of moral reform,salvation is not to be accomplished by the ostrich-like trick of hiding one’s head in the sand, and con- cluding that because unpleasant facts are not seen, that therefore they do not exist. In morals, as in philosophy, art, medicine, religion, education, politics, and indeed in every department of intellectual effort, there tems, and one which aims to re-form and create new systems. radical method of the reformer is the more difficult policy to carry out. avoid the evils which the old social systems’ produce, that the real hope for an ideal society persists.

It is grown and is still growing not only because it is a town in which the railway is directly interested, but elso for the reason that, like Ellison on the Skeena, it is a point where navigation meets steel rails. There are still chances of getting in on Wainwright or on one of its additions, at a very low figures, and easy terms of payment. MAKE APPLICATION for LOTS IN ANY OF THE ABOVE OWNS TO EITHER Watrous WATROUS, which is the Terminus of the branch line of the Grand Trunk Pacific and the next place of import- ance to Saskatoon, in the centre of a rich prairie country and is also grow- ing in fame as a health resort. Little Manitou Lake is at Watrous, and the healing power of this water is the wonder of modern medical science. As it is the only great medicinal mineral lake in the Dominion, the railway is bound to make it famous. There is still a chance of planting a few dollars in this townsite, and their rapid growth and crop is bound to be interesting. Melville MELVILLE resembles Chicago in “‘sit- ting at the gates of trade.”” The junc- tion point of railways so important as the Grand Trunk Pacific and Hudson Bay railways must, in the natural course of events, become an important city. Now is the time to buy. The prices for choice lots are extremely low and the possibilities for profit prac- tically unlimited. The purpose of the Grand Trunk Pacific in offering these lots so low is to encourage the upbuilding of Melville, and thus create a market for its superb transportation facilities. Rivers RIVERS is a divisional point between Melville and Winnipeg, and it also has hopes of having branch connections, one to join the Great Northern at Brandon, and the other to Regina. The Grand Trunk Pacific purchased a large townsite here with the prophetic be- lief that from its geographical position as the centre of a great wheat growing district, a large city would naturally grow up at this point. And to en- courage this growth the railway com- pany is offering lots at low prices and very liberal terms of payment. Better call and see us about Rivers, Biggar BIGGAR is one of the divisional points on the Grand Trunk Pacific, and in the company’s yards there already seven miles of trackage hes been laid and is in use. The site is between Watrous and Wainwright, and the town is named after . H. Biggar, eneral solicitor of the Grand Trunk *acific. It is not only on the main line of the great transcontinental rail- way, vui it also is the junction of the branch lines of that railway to Battle- ford and to Calgary and the Winnipeg- Edmonton branch of the Canadian Pacific runs through the townsite. Within the last few days we have made several remittances on account of lots purchased in Biggar. LAND COMMISSIONER, GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPANY, WINNIPEG, MANITOBA, OR JEREMIAH H.

Grand Trunk Pacific Railway ELLISON -- ROGERS’ ADDITION -- SEALEY Every Railway Town is a Money Maker.Think of the unearned increment attaching to present dots on the route of the Great Transcontinental Railway that you know are bound to become, in the next few years and under ordinary rules of Commercial Development, populous, bustling cities. The railway does it. TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES RAPIDLY INCREASE POPULATION. POPULATION RAPIDLY INCREASES VALUES OF REALTY. Before the railway trunk highways and navigable waterways decided the sites and were the builders of the great centres of commerce and industry. The latter is still a mighty factor, and wherever nav- igable waters meet the steel highway THERE IS BOUND TO BE AN IMPORTANT CITY. This established fact is what makes ELLISON AND SEALEY TOWNSITES so important from the investment standpoint. It must be remembered that Ellison is the railway townsite in British Columbia in which the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company is directly interested and is a joint owner. Sealey is situated on the Skeena River and is a townsite within a townsite. On its three sides the lots of Ellison Pasessessessesee sees, ePneRAe) eeoecooce Lope) ae Sees peoecoeess “As b Uncle Jerry” are divided from those of Sealey simply by the width of the streets; its fourth side is the waterfront. Sealey has already the nucleus of a business centre. ‘The shops and supply warehouses of the great railway contractors, Messrs. Foley, Welch Stewart are situated at this point, and it is the river port of the company’s steame's A lusty payroll is a mighty factor in the building of a city.

Sealey lots run from $200 to $375 according t° Rogers’ Addition lots are $150 for inside, and $250 for corners, with liberal! terms of payment.
