He was 3oing to Issue a frank

and then make a manly request of
the American public to reinstate

He realized the sympathetic inter-

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK-
TIIAT nothing is more .neces- i
sary to a community than Co-
j OPERATION.
THAT nothing can help more
, for the progress and common wel-
ware of all than for a community
| to move forward in a spirit of
harmony toward the goal of
, greater development.
THAT backward citizens must
get down to brass tacks, come out
of the clouds, brush the fog
from their brains, look a few
hard facts in the face aud then
co-operate'
THAT every citizen offers many
opportunities to the man of
energy a,ml thrift.
THAT business houses furnish
a bulwark of confidence, strength
and permanency.
THAT these institutions enjoy
a steady growth in1 keeping with
the wealth and development of
their communities.
THAT they are sound, conser-
vative, courteous, city builders
and eager to render service to
their cities.
THAT all citizens should have
a thrill of pride when they think
of then., for they are the back-
bone of a city.
THAT they are taking a deter-
mined forward stride for their
city.
THAT if thev are loyally sup-
ported they will keep a city
climbing to prosperity.
THAT it sometimes happens
that if this guiding force has
not nroper support that wh^n it g
locks like clear sailing the sup-
port gets careless, gets on a to-
ooggan slide and gets wrecked

Quebec, Dec. 22.—The fire which
destroyed the historic $1,000,000
Notre Dame church early today, is be-
lieved to have been caused by an in-
cendiaiy, according to Daniel Lor-
rain, chief of the provincial police,
who sftid he had received a letter in-
forming him that the edifice would
be burned on December 28. First re-
ports said it was believed the blaze
was caused by a short circuit in the
electrical wiring.
The loss is fully covered by insur-
ance.
Rectory Also Burns
The rectory adjoining the church
also was destroyed. Tlile seminary
buildings were threatened whc.n the
fire was at its height and the stu-
dents were ordered out.
The flames leaped the narrow
street, separating thu church build-
ings from the business section of old
Quebec and caused slight damage to
the offices of the Telegraph and
Chronicle, the F.uglish newspapers.
Other establishments suffered heavily
from smoke and water. Monslgnor La-
flaminc of Notre Dame, said that thu |
ait treasures and documents dating j
lack to Hill, which the church held
among its greatest possessions, had
bejn destroyed. Famous sacred paint-
'.ngs by Van Dyke and Lebrun were
lost.
The cathedral was considered one
of the finest and most artistic church
buildings in Canada and the interior
had bo<4 renewed recently at a cost
of $90,000. Heroic effort mado to
save the sacred vessels were unsuc-
cessful.
Notre Dame is the ninth Catholic
edifice in Canada to be visited by a
serious fire this year, and the second
in this section.
The church and shrine of Ste. An j
de Baupre, called the "Lourdes of
America,'' was destroyed last March.
