TALK 'Sidelights on Married Life" Proves Good Subject for Lecture. Large Audience Pleased with Mr. Conn's Handling of Question— , Valuable Hints. There was an unusually large gathering at the Court House on Friday evening 10 hear the usual fortnightly lecture by Rev. J. ThurburnConn. The subject dealt with was "Sidelights on Married Life" and was ably handled by the lecturer, showing that he, although a single man, could give valuable pointers to the married men and women on the manifold duties devolving upon them in their earthly pilgrimage". In his introduction he showed marriage was a holy institution, and ■ hew woman was not the slave but the helo- ruate of man and wherever this grand rule was practiced the life of the community were all the purer. There was little truth, declared the lecturer, in the theory that we were living in a hard, prosaic age, that romance has no place in our century, and that the rush and the fjver of life has lefc but little time or inclination for the old-time giacdof loving, wooeing and wedding. The study of human nature would soon prove that the world is very much as it was, Eden is still possible to those who are fit for it. The ideal home the idealhusband and the ideal wife were all interestingly described by the rev. gentleman. The ideal home, he pointed out, was something It was made up creature. He must be able"to make the home of which he is the head as near the perfect state as may be on this mundane sphere. He .should, be manly, he should shield his wife from the rude blasts of the world. He should not expect impossibilities, but remember his wife is human. He will be a home keeping husband. When.he is called to leave' her she will'have no need of apprehension. Comradship ought to be the relationship .be.twixt hnsbimd and wife, standing shoulder to shoulder, and above all keeping.their inner sanctuary sacred from the world. The hc.me ought to be for both husband and wife a veritable sanctuary where they can be at pesjee. Several illustrations were used to show the sidelights of married life and all were ^s instructive as they were amusing, and the lecture was thoroughly. enjoyed by (hose privileged to be present. more than a house. WIFEBEATING. eral instances of wifebeating have Deefa reported near Princeton, but so far the officers of the law and the magistrates, apparently, have not been able to make a conviction. That c wife should be bruised, eyeblackened£and;scratched Uy a human hyena and go unpunished in a.supposedly civilized community is be- yspnd belief. Yet, it is so, as some are prepared to testify. Wifebeating is punishable witfi from twenty to sixty lashes and imprisonment and in some parts of Canada offeirdVrs are publicly'horsewbip- pied. There can be no justification for wifebeating or brutal treatment of any of the w:eaker sex and the man who sympathizes with a wifebeater is a.coward also and deserving of the boot or the lash.

The home is but to bear the impress of the individu itv which guides it. If it be stron and honorable it will be that much,bette* for the home and the community. The ideal wife will be the light and centre of the home and prooeily so. She will give herself entirely and unreservedly to the study of her husband and home. It is without doubt the crucial test oi a woman's disposition and character.-and brings out her individuality in bold relief and shows her at her best—or her worst. She does not usurp her husband's" place, hut delights to keep herself in the background if she can show her husband to more advantage. We want more robust womanhood;- aim at being strong, capable, serviceable, so that you can be the equal and friend of man. disgraceful wifebeating affrays it will ex pose all concerned and demand that the case be heard publicly and not behind doors closed to general admission * The ideal husband is FIRE BELL ORDERED The committee of the Fire Brigade having in ejrarge the purchasing of a fire bell met yesterday afternoon.

"The action of the British Columbia Legislature in increasing the tax on coal and cojke is being received with concern by the mining interests and the business men of the upper country. Both the direct and the indirect effects of this legislation are so far reaching that it was with serious misgiving as to the wisdom of this policy that the news of the introduction of the coal tax amendment act was learned by the mining fraternity of the upper country, according to the Free Press of Fernie. It is not only that the practical doubling of the tax will change the economies of coal mining but that the precedent of increasing the coal and coke tax is entirely vicious in principle when viewed through the eyes of the possible investor in B. C. mining properties. ■ The colleries at present in operation must expect to spend enormous sums annually in the development of their mines and in improving their plants if they would keep pace with the possibilities of the west. On the development of the coal mines hangs, to a very large extent, the fate of metalliferous mining. Investors will be slow to hazard more money in coal mining enterprises if they feel that the Legislature is governed in their taxation policy by the rule''all the industry will stand." The present is a most inopportune time t*> place further difficulties in the way of an already much troubled industry. The smelters of West Kootenay and the Boundary figure coke cost as one of the principal items in smelting. Under present conditions the smelting industry is languishing. The profits are eaten up by wage and fuel expenses. The increase in the tax on coke will not have a tendency to ameliorate this condition. Who will pay the increased cost of production? It is a generally accepted maxim that the consumer pays for all. It will mean that the metalliferous mines already burdened by a two. per cent.tax on their output must shoulder another bnrd en in the incfea'sed cost of smelting. The attitude of Victoria may well make the investor pause. There-are two generally recognized principles of indirect taxation as determining the source of revenve. One is that all should pay for general necessaries. who use luxuiies The other is that those can afford to pay. Coke is not a general necessity. It is not a luxury. It is an individual; necessity, a necessity of a .single struggling industry as yet in its infancy. The revenue goes into the general coffers of the state. It must be contributed - by the in . dividual industry. The injustice is obvious.. DAILY MAIL TO PRINCETON.

Mr. Conn preached to a larger audience than usual from the text Ex. xx., 8, 9, 10: ''Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor and do all' thy work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: In it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor H13' daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates." He said that God's commands were issued directly through Moses to the children of Israel and through them they were handed down to Christians of all ages and nations. The Israelites were a peculiar people, chosen of God, so were the Sabbath observing Christians of today. God saw the absdlute necessity of a sacred rest day for spiritual and ' physical recuperation. > Christian nations supplemented God's command by having a statue en- . forcing Sabbath observance. If a man cannot earn a living by six days labor he cannot by working seven, for the best medical authorities declare that continuous labor is 'very injurious to health, and the best thought of today denounce it as demoralizing for the individual or the nation or community that tolerates it.. The sermon was much appreciated. The Ray, J. Thurburu-Conn leaves on Monday next for Kamloops where he goes to attend a meeting of the Presbytery. . The question of Princeton and Hedley being advanced to augmentation., giving them the right to call their own pastor, will come up for settlement. Before returning to Princeton Mr. Conn will pay a brief visit to the coast and wilt likely preach in Vancouver on Sunday,. March 2nd..

The Butte paper is unnecessarily alarming itself without good cause. Great Britain has no evil intentions on Uncle Sam's navy.

Sir Wilfrid may not "share our sentiments," but he has taken adequate steps to give us what we want and his frank statement of the facts is only thrown into clearer relief by Mr. McBride's shilly-shallying. From the oue we have the Lemieux agreement and the new immigration regulations, from the other plenty of anti-Oriental legislation which is certain to be reserved or disallowed but none which touches such matters as the exemption of railways from taxation. Hundreds of white men ate out of work iu Nanaimo, but tie "native son," who is so "bitterly" opposed to the Asiatic, will not make it a condition of remission ol taxation that the Alberni extension be built by white labor.—World. The Colonist evidently had thought of Mr. Bowser at the back of its brain when it quoted with approval the following from the Toronto World: "It is not always "It sounds alright, Mr. Speaker; I will read it again. Mr. Ross re-read the clause and continued: "It may still seem alright to honorable members of the House.

"While we may not all agree as to whether the honorable the leader of the Opposition is a great leader of a party, I think ihat members on both sides of the House will admit that in committee work, in picking out weak places in legislation, in drafting amendments to cover these deficiencies, that there is no abler member in the House, and I will ask him if this clause is not cleverly drawn that au ordinary mortal would have passed it without discovering its defect, unless it was very carefully dissected.

Dunsmuir refused his assent to the measure, that the Lieu}.-Governor had been appointed by the Liberal Government here, and was another illustration of the hostility of the local party to any effort made to restrict Oriental immigration. But even if the Lieut.-Governor did give his assent to the measure, and it was vetoed on the advice of the Government here, he could always say to the people of British Columbia that here was another illustration of the hostility of the Government here towards any effort made to restrict Oriental immigration in British Columbia. Clever, isn't it? "But let us look for one brief moment at the position taken by his leader, the Hon. Richard McBride. Mr. Bowser introduces his bill in the Legislature on the 2nd of April, 1907. It received its second reading in the Legislature on the lath of April, 1907. On April 16, 1907, Mr. McBride was in the city of Ottawa, ' en route to England, to place the grievances of the province of British Columbia, in connection with "be'.ter terms," at the "foot of the throne." On April 16th, the same day, he had an interview with Ii. W. Scott, secretary of State, and a^ked for credentials, which were given him by the Secretary of State. Incidentally Mr. Scott asked him if the bill introduced by Mr. Bowser, who was not then his Attorney-General, but a private 11 ember of the House, was likely to become a law. Mr. McBride's reply was 'no; the Lieut.-Governor will not give his assent to it.' This was such a marvelous statement hy the Premier of the Province in reference to legislation which had not yet passed its final stage in the House, that ihe Secretary of State wired the Lieut.-Governor asking him if the statement of the Hon. Mr. McBride were true. He reDlied that the statement was quite true, and he did not intend to give his assent to the hill, and he was writing fully explaining his position. This all took place on the 17th of April. The bill was finally passed in the House on ihe 22nd day of April, and on the 25th of April the Legislature was prorogued and Mr. Dun..miiir reserved his assent to the bill. 'Now, sir, Mr. McBride is busy repudiating any responsibility for the action of ihe Lieut.-Governor. He takes the position in the Local House, according to newspapsr reports, that Mr. Dunsmuir is tne agent of the Dominion Government and that his Government can't be held responsible for any of his actions. But I wish to ask if he knew nothing about the intention of the Lieut.-Governor, if he <lnew nothing regarding what he intended to do, how could he inform Secretary of State Scott as to the position the Lieut.-Governor intended to take, seven days before the Lieutenant-Governor took action? So you see that while the Liberal party are receiviug a great deal of blame from Conservatives of British j Columbia for their action iu connection | with this matter, the leaders of the Conservative parly in British Columbia were guilty of menacity and trickery in connection with legislation which they them- selves introduced. I am not here to defend the action of Lieut.-Governor Dunsmuir, but I am bound to sav that there is a marked difference between his cour.e and that of his two most important advisors. I have no hesitation in saying here, and now so far as hisiefusal to give his assent to the Bowser Natal Aci was concerned, that if he is to blame- at all his blame is not to De compared with that which ought to be accorded Messrs. McBride and Bowser. I do not believe that Mr. Dunsmuir signed this contract of his own accord without somebody ad vising him, and if the truth were known I think it would be found out that about that time there was a brilliant and modern Machiavelli of the W. J. Bowser stripe al his elbow." Mr. Ross, continuing, pointed out that since the King investigation the Dominion Government passed an Order iu- Council absolutely prohibiting Japanese immigration from the Hawaiian Islands, that under arrangements made by Hon. Mr. Lemieux in Tapan, no contract labor could leave there without the consent of the Dominion Government, and consequently that no Japanese could be brought under Gotoh contracts, and therefore Mr. Bowser no longer had any incentive to protect Gotoh interests by introducing a nugatory Natal Act in the Legislature. "To endanger the diplomatic settlement made with Japan, to still further keep up the political turmoil, now that the question was satisfactorily settled," said Mr. Ross, "he introduces a properly drafted Natal Act into the Legislature. "In view of the facts which he had given he trusted that the members of the Legislature would refuse to be buncoed by W. J, Bawser, and that they would so act as to forever make it impossible for him to cuntinue the agitation against a sound and wise diplomatic settlement of an exceedingly dangerous question."

"Then, we have this suggestion that W. J. Bowser, Conservative candidate in the city of Vancouver, the present Attorney General in the McBride Government, solicitor for Gotoh, draughtsman of the Gotoh agreement, goes to ttie Vancouver Province, organ of the C.P.R., the night immediately before the general election, attaches the Gotoh agreement (which he himself had drawn up and which had been entered tnto by the C.P.R.) to the United Construction and Supply Company of Prince Rupert, a purely mercantile concern, and cells the people of British Columbia that under this agreement the Grand Trunk Pacific is going to bring in 50,000 Japs. "You can search the annals of Canau ian history. Mr. Speaker, and you cannot find another instance to equal this for cold blooded mendacity. The ques tion of professional ethics involved I leave to the consideration of the lawyers of the Aouse. I ask them if it is in accordance with best traditions of the pro fession that a lawyer should use information of his client that could come to him in no other way for the purpose which I have mentioned. "Let us trace briefly the results of the coutracts of which W. J. Bowser was the author and finisher. In in inteaesting table prepared by Mackenzie King, which is published on page 11 of his report, it is demonstrated that outside of the Japanese which arrived in Canada under the contracts prepared by W. J. Bowser that only 290 Japs arrived in the province of British Columbia during the ten months in 1907,8 number far less than the limit allowed under the arrangement between this Government and the Government of Japan. "Or putting it another way, if there had been no Japs brought in under the Gotoh agreement prepared by W. J. Bowser, there would have been no Japanese disturbance in British Columbia last year. "Let us go further into the inside history of the career of this illustrious W. J. Bowser. During the general elections to which I have referred, he claimed a good deal of credit for the McBride Government for having time and time again introduced legislation in the Local Legislature which had for its object the' utter prohibition of Oriental immigration into the province of British Columbia, and that such legislation had always been vetoed by the Government at Ottawa. He made promises to the electors that if he were returoed that he would again introduce it until the Liberals at Ottawa were brought to their senses. He had to make some effort to carry out his pre-, election promises and it is quite true that on April 2nd, 1907, he introduced a (Continued on page 2.) A CANADIAN ARTIST.
