A. BATES, Editor and Proprietor FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1918 *tMm&LJ.mi \\**m* ������S������ The Mission City Fall Fair will be held as ���������usual'this year, it is hoped that in the meantime there will be the usual, if not better, preparation for this year as there has been in the past. Watch the columns oi' this paper for the particulars of the progress of advance action on the part oi' the secretary and others in order to make the Fall Fair a greater success than ever. We believe it is a mistaken policy tc let any of the numerous organizations of ihe community go by the boards during these very strenuous times. After the war ail will again be organized again if they do, and the time will undouutedly come wnen there will be those who will blame us for not. having carried on our part in such a manner as to have everything running as smoothly as the war will permit us to do. Among these things which we should keep going are the Fall Fairs, our Boards or' Trade, our annual celebrations, such as Labor Day, Empire Day and annual picnics. Some day perhaps we will be sorry for not having done so. At last the government has asked every man and woman between sixteen and sixty to register. . A day will be. set apart for registration and it will be our duty and privilege to be there and get our ticket that during me war will entitle us to citizenship. The mere fact of a penalty attached to same will not make it any harder for us to enjoy this citizenship as we have all been looking for such an act of parliament, many having expressed the wish that it would be done. For the present at least it will not affect us any more than the recent acts along this line, and the new act should meet the wishes of all who take a particular interest in seeing ihe war won by the Allies. There is another step yet that the Canadian government should take, in tlio opinion of many and that is that all aliens in Canada, there are sixty, thousand of them in British Columbia alone, be conscripted and work on soldiers pay. .. There are a great many in the country drawing good pay; let this pay go on as usual, but take the surplus over the soldiers' pay. and use it for patriotic purposes���������say for the benefit of the soldiers'* wives (the Patriotic Fund), or for the relief of the widows and orphans of the soldiers who have fought in the present war. The registration is a step in the right direction, and the conscripting of aliens at soldiers' pay would be another. The provincial legislature has closed for the present session, with a different premier than it began with.- The work of the bession has not been as exciting as some of the sessions the past few years, and it remains to be seen whether the legislation passed will be good, bad or indifferent. During the present session an act has been ;passed enabling the-government to go ahead and complete the Pacific Great Eastern as far as Fort George, under government supervision. The history of government railways in Canada is well known to many of us and do not reflect much to the credit of Canada. It is hoped by all, irrespective of politics, that the P. G. E. as a government enterprise will be a credit to us all, and that in the future as taxpayers of the province none of us will have reason to regret the burden imposed upon the province. It is a big undertaking at a time when the country is at war. The undertaking will be eagerly watched. few years ago., ,You remember when, the opposition to the late McBride-Bowser' government went "east at any. time, and several trips were made, that they used to cry down the financial -conditions of this province, both by interview and private conversation, even on the public platform. The east began to look upon the west, particularly this province with askance as to all financial matters. Now the whirlwind -appears to be coming our way yet. , In the House of Commons the other day lilr". Lemieux referred to British Columbia as a "bankrupt province". . He conies'from Quebec. We are not bankrupt in loyalty at least, but that is another question. If Mr. Lemieux of Quebec had any knowledge of the natural resources of this province he would make no such remark, but undoubtedly he has remembered what he has read in the Toronto Globe and the Toronto Saturday Night dating back several years ago. PRESS COMMENT One or tho greatest diflicultics which oditorB have lo contend \vilh is tlie tendency of those who aro . supposed to eonuibute news to a newspaper's columns Lo forget all about the news and to air their opinions instead. 'A striking example ol' this is furnished by an American journal, which quotes this as having been sent in by a country correspondent "There has been several weddings in Rectory since Sat urday, but I have forgotten the names or Lho whole push. . They were all good, folks, but 1 bet they will bo sorry they marrried when they go to housekeeping ���������things are so high."���������Edmonton Journal. We do not appear to have heard the last of .the grand tirade against the finances of this province promulgated by the opposition of a OKGiAKJZING OUKSELVES After all the greatest problem we have to face is just the problem of self. It is the impulses and their control or lack of control, within our hearts, which make or break us. True, we may be able, with an excollent show of roason, to blame the events which come into our lives on circumstances ' beyond our control, but after all, when we are honest with ourselves, we are forced to admit that most if not all of our lack of real progress has been due to other causes. Many of us are prone to procrastinate. Things often ,-vvork out unfortunately on that account. It may be that we do not show enough attention' to < details Thus we, may have been found unfitted, when opor- tunity knocked, to take advantage of it, or have suffered losses in other ways because of this weakness. Pride or a quick temper may create enemies for us whore , we need, friends. Frequently the .absence of a clear objective is what holds us back. ' It is such infiuencet' as these and what we do with them, that really determine the measure of our success; both here and hereafter. Not until we have put forth every effort to overcome them and have suffered humiliating defeat after defeat, do we' come to realize our own helplessness and begin to lose confidence in ourselves. Then we understand how true it is that "He who controlleth his spirit is greater than he that taketh r. city." Many books have been written which claim to teach us how to achieve success. We are directed _ how to control our thoughts, to conserve our energies to draw upon the sub conscious self and to follow many other impressive methods that are guaranteed to obtain for us our heart's desires. But wnen we strive, to follow these instructions we are- only too likely to find ourselves endeavoring in reality, to lift ourselves by our bootstraps. Even should a measure of success come to us in ways such as these, it is sure to be at heavy expense in other directions. In time we will discover chat something undefinable, but very real and necessary has dropped outof our lives. The Apostle Paul understood all about this struggle He knew,- also, the secret of success. He explained our helplessness to obtain victory by showing that ���������'we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual hosts .of wickedness in the heavenly places." It is these great unseen forces that direct the thoughts and impulses that cause our defeat. None of us unaided are able to win unequal struggle against them. What we need is a power greater than our own and greater than the forces that are arrayed gainst us to come into our lives from without and give us the victory. Where and how to obtain- this ;powel- Paul also explains in 1 Corinthians 15:57. After all, the greatest book on success that has ever been written is just the Bible. Its secrets are offered freely to all who will earnestly seek them. There > aro times above all times when wo need sustaining influences of just such secrets in our lives. Then we will bo able to organize ourselves on a true success basis.���������Canadian Horticulturist.

PUT WEEK'S BAN ON TRAVELLING SALESMEN What Is accepted by some dealers here as the thin edge of the wedge to drive out the drummer from the realm of Canadian business has been put into action by the Board of Food Control. Chairman H. B. Thompson this week advised flour distributing concerns in Victoria as well as in other cities, that all salesmen were to be The order is to go into immediate effect, and it will be enforced by the companies tin's week. The direct reason for this action taken off the road for one week, by the Board of Food Control is more or leBS vague in the eyes of the concerns affected. Thero wac some talk at Ottawa a few weeks ago that the commercial traveller was a nonessential to war-time business, thus cutting down expenses all around and releasing travelling accommodation for other uses deemed by the Government as more important. Jus;; what the salesmen are to do while their movements are thus restricted has not been made clear yet, and it is up to the companies to find some other employment for them One firm anounced that it was giving Its num. holidays for the five-day period, but in the event of a repetition ol the order, and such is not altogether unexpected, this course is not likely to be taken again. While only iiour handling concerns are so far effected, it is probable that dealers in other commodities will ;be brought under the order in their turn.���������Victoria Colonist.

No wonder the Germans make every effort to smash the Y.M.CA. huts out of existence. Tlie Y.M.C.A. is everywhere. You first met* the helpful, "manly Y.M.C.A. worker in camp, then on train and boat, at camp in England and in Prance, close to the firing line. Often he risks his life to reach you in the trenches. He has won the wannest- praise from military authorities, statesmen���������the King! Have you a precious boy at the front? You cannot be "oyer there" to guide him away from fierce temptations of camp and city. You cannot comfort him in his supreme hour of trial. Your parcels to him are necessarily few. But the Y.M.C.A., thank God, is "over there," going where you cannot go-���������doing the very things you long to do���������doing it for you and for him. Will you help? This vast organization of helpfulness needs at lease S2,250.OC0 from Canada for 1918. For your boy's sake be GENEROUS!!
