THOMAS SENT DOWN.
Simpson Itesidrut Arrested
lor
Wife Beating.
11 r. Willard Thomas", of Simpson, Is a
lorry man, but his sorrow comes too
nt to do him any good. Last week the
ifort-Fald Mr. Thomas left his home and
jettor half In bad humor. Saturday
ilsht, whn all were slecpins peace
fully, Mr. Thomas returned. His tem
per had not been Improved by his ab
ienoe, but he relieved It slightly .by
rireaklng in the front door. OI course,
ils wife was aroused and on coming to
jee the cause of the disturbance the gal
ant Mr. Thomas hit her with a pail of
vater and then proceeded to beat her.
Fortunately, there was a boarder In
I he house who was also aroused and
leelng the situation he at once sailed
into Thomas. Probably that humane
person had spent most of his time in
livHiing defenceless women and had
never been engaged, with the sterner
sex, for he was soon knocked down and
the victorious boarder proceeded to sit
unon him until the arrival of a con
stable, when he was loc ked up.

cago Record.
As we were passing a quaint old col
onial house, surrounded by large
grounds and shaded by enormous elms
and oaks. In the very center of this
city the other day the coachman turned
on his box and remarked:
"That Is tlie oldest home In Toronto.
It stood there when tlvclty wus nothing
but a small cluster of ruhlns along the
bank of the lake. It was sh well built
that It has never needed repair, and It
Is us good today as It ever was. and us
It will be K years from now. The j
man wlin lives thure Is the gri atest man i
in Canada. He has forgot more than
all the ministry ever knew, with the
governor-general on top o' them, and he
keeps learning something new every
day in his big library that stretches
out from the house there, ns you see,
westward."
"What's his name?"
"Professor Guldwin Smith: anil he's
the best friend the Cnited States has
on this side of the bonier. Some of
the tory snobs call him a traitor to old j
England, but that's because they want ,
to stand in with the queen und Lord i

, , , , , , , . . ,,,,,,.
That is a fair sample of o cal ,. bll
opinion concerning the eminent British
statesman und historian who bus come
over to make his home on this side
of (he water, and spend his wealth and
leisure in aiding to solve the Canadian;
problem. Professor Smith occupied the
chair of Kngllsh history at the t'nl-
I versily of oxford for many years, and
j liming the civil war In the I'nlted States
was u pronounced friend of the north,
which made him unpopular in that com
munity. He resigned his chair about
ten years ago and came to Toronto to
write a hook on Canada. At the saunt
time be accepted a professorship at
Cornell, nnd lectured there each winter
for seveial years. He presented a mag
nilieeut historical library to that Insti
tution also. Hut he tinally gave up ac
tive work, and has since been living In
retirement at his beautiful home here,
which, as the driver said. Is the old
est residence in Toronto, and perhaps
the most attractive. One could scarcely
Imagine a more charming retreat for a
student and a lover of nature and books.
H is called "The Cii ange," and has been
in the family of the first husband of
Mrs. Smith since the settlement of Can
ada West.
Professor Smith was a bachelor when
he came to live at Toronto, but he goon
surrendered to the charms of Mrs.
Ftoiilton, a Boston lady, who hud mar
ried a rich Canadian lumberman in her
younger days and was living hen; at
"The iltange." He had a large fortune,
of his own, and their united wealth
makes them one of the richest couples
in Canada.
Professor Smith Is no doubt the most
scholarly man and the most famous
writer In the dominion, and Is the rec
ognized head if the movement for an
nexation, which he htu always advocat
"ed as the inevitable result of natural
laws and the manifest destiny of the
colony. His books and magazine ar
ticles and his speeches og this subject
have given serious offense to the loy-
a,li:,it
element on both sides of the
! Atlantic, und both Mrs. Smith und hltn
i self bave bc.-u compelled to submit to
' many disagreeable sliphls from uver
j Ken I his lories who are seeking olllce
or knighlliood. Some of the ambitious
families in the dominion boycott them!
entirely ami endeaxor to M-ek favor at
liiileuii hall by calling Professor Smith
u traitor. Inning the recent campaign
tlie feeling was ery bitter, and Pro
fessor Smith was constantly assaulted
hi the columns of ilio conservative press
and by the conservative speakers, al
though lie was not a candidate for of
fice mid was tukin no part In the elec
tion. Rut his writings furnished text
books for most of the liberal editors and
j orators, nod
he is the president of what
Is known as "the Continental I'nloii
association." which was organized
fori
the purpose of promoting the union of
the American people.
Shortly before the election the trus
tees und faculty of tin; ( niversily of
Toronto voted io confer upon I'rofessor
Smith the degree of doctor of luws as
a recognition of his distinction In the
world of learning, whereupon Mr. W. tl.
Kalcoiibridge. justice of the high court
of Ontario resigned his seat in the sen
ate of tlie univer.-dtv. because, as he
declared, in his opinion an institution
thai would honor a liaitor to the Itrlt
ish Hit it was not the place for loyal
subjects of in r Hiilunle majesty.
Nevertheless tie- vole of I lie? trustees
and faeiil.y was ui.aniinous and the
great mass oi tie- people applauded
their i iiii.n. while they laughed at his !

an annexation propaganda. It Is con

The anxiety and opposition of the
conservative government concerning
the annexation movement made it nec
essary for the leaders to observe great
caution and secrecy, and 11 Is freely
charged that the olllchils of the post
otllce department under the lute admin
istration opened letters and destroyed
quantities of annexation literature that
wus sent through the mails. It Is
charged that the orders of the govern
ment were to detain or destroy all such
matter, and tliut they were obeyed so
fur us possible.
A gentleman was telling me the other
day that he recently hud occasion to
write to the department of state at
Washington, and, being an avowed an
nexutionist. feared that his letter might
be suspected nnd destroyed, so he bor
rowed an envelope ( the I'nlted States
consul, which bore the latter's ottlcial
card, and took the package to the post-
office to be registered. But, notwith
standing these precautions, it never
reached its destination, and although
the t imed States consul was aware
of the contents of the letter, and made
a complaint to the postal officials, he
could never obtain any satisfaction. Ills
belief Is that the postmaster, suspecting
the wrtler of being engaged In treason
able correspondence with the author
ities at Washington, opened the letter,
and when he found that It was concern-
lug an innocent matter of buslnci s. de-
stroyed the evidences of his own oH'ciise
Hut the annexation people have no
such fear under a liberal government,
and their missionary work will be car
ried on henceforth wlthotil any attempt
at secrecy. It Is said also that the
means to defray the expenses ate l:u ge-
ly furnished by persons who do not can
to be known In that connection, but ure
earnest annexiiiionlsts at heart. To
ronto is a hot-bed of conservatism and
the most loyal city In Canada, although
the American interests are larger here
than elsewhere. The newspapers are
loyj;l without exception. Only one pa

minion, talks annexation every day. It
does not use that term, however, for it
might be offensive. "Continental union"
is the term. There are fion.000 French
Canadians In New Kngland who are
constantly pulling on their friends and
relatives at home. There are Hi teen
French newspapers in New Kngland
which have a large clientage In Can
ada and are continually discussing the
advantages of annexation. The recent
overturn of the conservative govern
ment was largely due to the influence
of the Canadians in New Kngland.
Laurler received Ids largest support and
made his largest gains in the French
Catholic communities, although the
questiiiu of government support for
church schools was one of the promin
ent Issues of the campaign. In Mont
real he got a majority (,f jr.; In Quebec
out of u total of slxty-tlve members of
the house of commons he gut a major

per, the conservative leader, was cer
tain of carrying both provinces througn

Issue. Hut "continental union." us taey
cull it. hud a stronger claim up. in the
Frenchmen than the church. When
some one snid that i.niuicr's election
meant "continental union" a witty
French bishop remarked:
"Yes. perhaps: hut it is much more
likely that the American ll.ig will limit
over the citadel of guel.ee Uiun i)ut the
Canadian Hug will float at the top of
bunker Hill monument.
Tlie French and the Kngllsh will not
mix. Canada Is two countries, and
race prejudice Is more bitter and pro
nounced here than sectional feeling In
the I'nited States has ever been.
Kvery election in Canada for lifty-flve
years has involved either a race or a
religious Issue, and the French popu
lation hue invariably voted uguinst
the interests of tlreat Britain if they
could determine what they were. The
French population retain their own
religion, their own language, their own
customs, their own schools and even
their own laws. The code Napoleon Is
used In Montreal and Quebec for com
mercial law, but lit the oilier provin
ces the laws of Kngland are recogniz
ed. 'Criminal law alone Is uniform
throughout the dominion. And in ofll
ciaj life tlie same prejudice exists. If
an Englishman gets a job under the
government a Frenchman must have
as good a one at the same time. At.
the doors of the parliament house and
tlie executive departments are two
ushers one French, one English.
There are always two customs tu
Sectors at every post, nnd wherever
there Is a French clerk on any public
duty there Is an Englishman also. - All
