Post Office Box No>380 A BENEVOLENT'AUTOCRAT THAT "Premier McBride has dorm somo good— Jor himself—whilst on his visit to'England is evident by the honor bestowed upon him^by his gracious sovereign. The ostensible object of his visit was in connection with certain benefits to be obtained from the B. C. Electric Company for the people bf Vancouver Island, but as it now appears that must have been very much of a secondary consideration with the Honorable Premier. What was " evidently more in his mind was the interests of McBride. no was made much of in England, tool- care to be .constantly in the limelight, and his. "labors" were rewarded with a knighthood. "What the most disgusting part of it'all Atfas, as R. P. Pettipiece'puts it, "the exhibition of belly-crawling sycophancy on the part of the prominent: Conservative press.',' Of course we,.can hardly biame them,, they were merely looking after their bread '■■' ' ' and butter. -. -. Tn all other respects .the Premier's visit was a ' failure/ and the people in whose benefit he went, at the provinces'expense be it remembered, are beginning to sec it. He made a brave attempt fo hide it behind press interviews in which he*enraptured over B. C. 's prosperity and the good feeling towards us in the Old Country. Very pretty! This, together with the honor conferred upon the whole . of the people of B."

"Under tlie present system of capitalistic greed'a rich relative may easily.be" got rid of in this'Ayay. , The danger is that in the hands of officious, incompetent and opinonated officials, arid it must be admitted that quite a number come under this category, unfortunates who,are.more the victims of their environment than of their own natural weaknesses will be enslaved and imprisoned. * - The bill is a step in the right direction,'as it is the' duty of the state to protect arid'guard tlie weak and defective.

Throughout the'eight pages which the " study '*' takes up it goes into ecstasies over this '.'great".man and would, no doubt, have continued " in"this strain had Mr.-O'Connor, the author, or,^it would perhaps be more correct to say the re-writer, for no doubt such facts and hidden secrets mu?t have been obtained from the subject of the sketch himself, found a larger complimentary vocabulary to enthuse with?" So far as 'his "kindliness," "good nature," "instructive knowledge of human nature," etc., is concerned we will not discuss,* but wlien it comes to telling us certain, exaggerated facts in connection with labor and the Premier's attitude in these matters, wo must take exception. For instance, the article says: "This extraordinary dominance has not been won by mere.force of character) an instinctive adroitness, tact and good sense have been among tho contributory causes,- Take, for instance, his treatment of what even'in British Columbia is a not infrequent occurrence—namely, labor unrest. La- bor unrest is serious in nny country—but it is most serious in countries where the prospdet of thc quick return of mining draws tho strong and adventurous and sometimes unruly men of all nationalities. British Columbia is full of groat mining camps; and thus tho Prime Minister hns hnd to deal more than once with situations that, beginning in a (lis- puto about wngeH or hours of labor, or a conflict between union and non-union, might easily have ilnwlnport into bloodshed. , And bloodshed "there would have been if lho conflict between elements so .stubborn and so resolute as the minors on the onp side and the, mine-owners on tho other had not all to bo submitted to thc cold, clear judgment of tho ruler of the country." To lull, of "bloodshed" ami "donr judgment of the ruler of tlm country," is moro piffle, nnd cnn only be swnllowod by Hiohc without knowledge of local conditions, outside of this country, Mr. O'Connor nlso refers to Ihe remarkable progress this province hns nindu under tlio rnlorsliip of our local Disraeli, but sjiyi. nothing <if tliu number «;f ■ unt-mploy.'d nnd other niiitlcrji affecting tlie worker, With nil Sir HirlmTrl *n NlirewdnrsN lio hns, no doubt, mndo a mistake in "rTorniitting" Mr. O'Connor cirailnming all the newspapers, periodicals, journals, ete., ami sending n copy nf the uin«n> zinc, containing tlin article, gratis lo thc Canadian newspapers. It might work all right outside of this country, but here, whore ho is so well known, tlie article "A Benevolent Autocrat" ..anii-it bo taken M.-n..ux)y, in K«ct it will be read moro as "light fictiori." not,happen.-.y-There wduld;be-no parly candidate, There being no graft; it stands to reason that there would be no'need for it. fit is only when such conditions exist that, make it possible for party leaders'and'office holders* to make something out of it that Bedlam is let loose. ' During the convention an army of policemen; firemen, doctors and nurses were held in readiness.- This time.it was not for the purpose of preventing free speech, or against the ohslaughter" of "undesirable citizens." ■ Oh, no! -Only to see that the truo American patriots aiid citizens do not butcher each other for the glory of office and graft. Each session began % pay-; ing.respects ,lo each other. At. tho end of the convention the gathering', finished up with singing that sweet and pathetic ballard, "Lead kindly light."- The Democrats aro now wrangling over their choice and we-presume-tho sairie tactics,as obtained at tho Republican Convention will be adopted.' As one paper remarks: "It needs something more than prayor to put these people whoro thoy belong. . It needs tlio woll-directed -vote of the working class, backed by an intelligence that can be fooled no longer, but will insist upon economic justice being handed out to all."

We arc perhaps inclined to lake a broader view-as to tho rights of the men and tho consideration to which I hoy are entitled.

The labor movement of Milwaukee Is an inspiration to the workers of America. Its achievements make it worthy of all admiration, and its methods are sorely worthy of serious study. For thirty years ft has been building its movement After many defeats It has at last won out by the joint labor of two powerful organizations—the trade unions and the Socialist party. It bas esw Its fine Labor Temple where any day one may meet all the leaders of both the eco- political movement. Their meeting rooms, committee offices adjoin each other. The officials of the party and the officials of tbe unions are iu constant the working class. And from the literature stall in the base- the splendid offices of their ier on trie top floor, the Milwaukee labor Temple conveys the im- ■ession of efficiency, solidarity and The Comrades of both branches of the labor movement are today administering the affairs of one of the largest and most beautiful industrial cities of America.

It only be done by a personal union j of the Socialist party and the trade | unions. By a personal union I mean that the same people who are" active in the irade unions are also active the Socialist party, and that is tbe _>e in my own town. If you go to tbe Central Committee of the Social Democratic party you will see, with a! few exceptions, about the same faces j that yon see in the Trades Council." j From the preceding articles you 'ill have learned that this is esactly the point that is made so much of by European Socialists. Tbe working l class stands behind both movements, while it mnst use the strike against Industrial Bosses, it mast also Tbe trade union bas therefore its peculiar work to do jost as the party has its work to do. Some may interested in union activities than in political work; others may see the equal importance of both actions, yet all may co-operate without rivalry Jealoosy to build np the entire movement. This Idea o£ a "personal I have said, is not peenliar to Milwaukee. The same personal onion between tbe two movements exists In Britain, Belgium. Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Austria and other countries. At tbe Socialist ■ongresses, for Instance, j-ou meet the ame faces that you see at the trade union conferences. In (be Parliaments of Europe you may find many at the chief trade union leaders, oil of whom lieen elected by the Socialist parlies. Nor do the Milwaukee Comrades claim any originality. Indeed, tiney translated and published the speech of Angust Bebel on "Labor Unions and Political Parties," which advocates ideas similar tD those held by the Milwaukee movement. It sold for 5 cents and I wish every working man in America conld read tbis speech. It gives at some length discussion of the proper relations tbat sbauld exist between labor unions 1 political parties. Betel's position briefly this. The trade unions shonld Seep politics ont of tbe unions. They should unite the workers with- ont regard to religious, political, racial or national differences. They must flee from everything which tends' to divide or dlsrnpt them. For them nnity and solidarity are fundamental, and nothing shonld be allowpd to interfere. But while tbe unions should not divide on political lines, they Bhould dlacnss at an times every legist lative measure that promises to benefit their class. The shortening^ of boars. aE forms of labor legislation. questions ..of taxation, woman and child lahor, the right ot combination, civil and penal justice, political rights public administration, card of public health—all these interest to the trade unionist. Union men are in complete agreement these questions. They should,. therefore, in Bebel's opinion; quite regardless of party affiliation, outline their program on these questions, and moke their demands. In other words,. the trade union movement should not only make demands upon the .individual employer, it should alsc make demands"'npon the State. It. should, therefore have its municipal. State national platform. j«, this is exactly tbe method pursued in "Wisconsin. The State Fi eration of labor, as well as tbe various central bodies, have a political program. They.carry their demands to the City Council and State Legislature, and press their claims witn all their command. And they have discovered ln Wisconsin tbe same thing that tbe German work- have learned, that it is tbe So clallsts alone who can be depended upon at all times to support the demands of labor. It is, of conrse, obvious to the thoughtful workingman that tbe capitalist parties can never honestly serve labor. Bryan, Hearst, La FoUettC and Roosevelt, may all wish to serve labor. There is a good against their claims, yet for nt I will not dispute it. every Socialist knows that these matter what their intentions be, cannot deliver the goods. They the old political machine which are financed, and, therefore, owned,"by the capitalists. In fact, aO parties except the Socialists are i" inated by profit makers, and no matter how radical their program may be, they are tied hand and foot to the in-; terests of the Capitalist class. The radical their platform Is the utterly ruinous it is to them, he- while they may win the votes of tbe workers.at any one election, they are forced to betray them every time when they get in power The stealing of Socialist thunder is, there-' fore, exactly what every Socialist should want the other parties to prac-, tice. It is the most dangerous thing they can do. The votes they gain by such methods are nothing to what tbey lose by their ntter failure to fulfill their promises. Bismarck once stole Socialist thunder. Well, look it Germany. "When South German Catholie and non-Catholic textile workers," says Bebel,- "petition the Beiebstag for a ',en-honr-day, and only the Socialist repersentatives snpport these pett tions with all thjeir might, as was done in tbe last session of the Reichstag, that Bays enough." Snob Is the opin- teoel. That says enough. actions will eternally speak | louder than words, so every fight we make for labor legislation tells Its AH the Socialist pamphlets and resolutions that can be put forward will be useless without just.such political work. It Is ehiefly because of the actual service which the Socialist party of Wisconsin renders the workers that the State Federation of Labor bas commended, without one dissenting voice, the Socialist party. Of course, Berger has urged the trade unions to make a rigorous and united demand for Old Age Pensions, Workmen's Compensation and Labor Legislation of the most advanced character. And the unions have forced the old,parties to showdown, and in the actual fight for better conditions, the workers bf Wisconsin have learned that Socialists and Socialists alone can be depended upon to support every demand of the work- The reason for this ls jiot obscure. There is no excuse under heaven for the existence o£ the Socialist party except to express the demands of Labor. With its personnel made up of union men. with its organizations dominated by the working class, with its papers financed., by tbe working class, whom else .could It serve the working class? In fact, the Socialist party. Is only another word fin- political unionism. Its sole object-is to unite the working class and to ds velop Its political power. - If the Socialist party did not undertake t tbis work the trade unions would be forced to organize their own party ] this work. It has to be done, nearly every intelligent working, bi America today realizes that fact. The achievements of the Milwaukee workers are beyond the purpose of thia article- But one great tact standB tbat tbe workers of Milwaukee today governed by their own Comrades and brothers — working n holding union carffs. Tbey have the State Capitol, helping to n their laws, representatives who Comrades and-brothers—fellow workingmen holding union cards. They have at Washington another repre- .tive, who is a Comrade and brother holding a union card. He Is alone, but.he owes nothing to the bosses, political or industrial, and he _s no fear of being put down and it when he fights for labor. . . Tbe Milwaukee plan ot bringing the lions and the party into co-operation aves the unions free to do thelr xn work. The "party is allowed to > Its work. But every active trade nionist Is a Socialist, and every ac- ve Socialist is a trade unionist Both ovements back each other, and an Injury to one is an injury to both. Tbey do not discuss, in Milwaukee, whether direct action is wiser than political action or vice versa. They leave that to Infkntg. And with both left and right, after the manner of our friend Bob .F'itzsimmons, they hand out tbe wallop. J have no doubt that tbe bow discredited bosses, of Milwaukee and many a flinty employer would pay a handsome reward to nan who could Invent some plan that would Induce the unions and the party to tight eaeb other. "We have two-arm movement," says Berger. hat a Messing it would be—to the pressors of labor—to have one arm trying to cut off and destroy the oth- Yet is not tbat exactly what the workers are still doing in many places Considerable interest is being dis- layed in Canada in the reported discovery of coal fn Baffin Land,' und steps are being tatfeh scientifically to explore the district with a view to forming companies for the develop- ; of the coal lands.

Fernio were unfortunate to Ioho A, Adamson (contre half) for tho beBt part of tho first half, nnd his Injuries prevented him playing in 1.1b old form during tho socond half, Thoro Is not the slightest doubt that If Fernio can hold the team they nt present havo 'they will bring homo some tlnwnro yot. While It would ho Impossible to Indlvldunllme, wo cannot help mentioning tho ploy of Barr, who certainly plnyod ono of tho bost games ho hns played this sonnon, beat.
