Returning to Boston from the
‘West, where he, spent. most - of
‘thesummer, Thomas W. Lawson,
copper magnate and suthor of
‘Frenzied Finance,’’ lauded Can-

ada and the west to the skies,

proclaiming from the’ hilltops,
figuratively speaking, the glo-.
ries that Canada and. the west
hold for young and old: alike.

Note a characteristic Lawson
exclamation when hé landed in

_ the Bean City: “Young man! if}

you don’t go 'to a ticket office and
buy yourself a ticket for the west

Within the next week, you ought

to be dragged before a judge and
given $0 days at hard labor.
Opportunities lie unheeded along
the railroad tracks, on the moun-
tainsides, in the gutters, crying
to be snatched. Opportunities
are as plentiful as the leaves upon.
the trees, as the fish within the
bounding brooks, as the grass
upon the earth, ~,

“Western Canada offers the
greatest opportunities. Out there
they have actually put into prac-
tice the things that I ‘have-been
advocating for years in“ banking,
in insurance, in taxation — in
everything, That country is be-
ing run for the people. The
people will own Western Canada
—all of the people, instead of one
or two rich men.

so full of the west that there

and especially Canada—is the
most wonderful section of the
world. When Horace Greeley
told young men to go ‘west, he
was tight. He would be right in
exactly the same degree if he
were alive today and said the
game thing. Isay again that any
young man who does not go to a
ticket office and buy a ticket
which will carry him to the far
west, with its glorious oppor-
tunities for the people — the
masses—ought to be locked up,
for he is committing a crime

against himself.”’

FOR THE WORLD'S: PEACE

Advocates of ‘Disaymament Piopase

Consequences ;

. Cae Sone?

The peace - advocates at ‘their
conference at Berne agreed upon
the essentials to be included ina
declaration to the world, in which
their hopes and their programme |
will be set forth, The members
of the conference believe that im-
portant consequences: will follow
this meeting of economists, . and
that for the first time the ‘prob-
lem of war will be.studied scien-
tifteally by. the deepest thinkers
of all nations.

Effort, time ‘nor abundant
funds will be spared to carry. on,
the research work, the result. ‘of:
which, it is expected, will illumin-
ate the whole subject and have
authoritative value. The final
act of the conference was to send

atelegram to Andrew Carnegie,
at Skibo Castle, whose peace
foundation made the peace gath-
ering possible,

The declaration asks that all
nations concentrate their atten-

and scientific study of the causes
of war and as to the best method
for the promotion of peace. It
adds that the work has only been
hegun, but that it.will be pushed’
vigorously and systematically."
‘Study of the causes and con
sequences of war,’’ the declara-
tion continues, “constitutes only

tian upon the value of serious |

economic lifes“... 2
In the first division the studies
will comprise research into eon-

‘effects and consequences of wars

and also on the life of each na-
tion in the destruction of life and
