J. A. BATES, Editor and' Proprietor FRIADY, APRIL 29, 1921 Once more Premier Oliver interviews . the federal government with a, view to having that government take over the P. G. K- and ' operate it as a part of the dominion ��������� system of railroads. That his interview will be a failure goes without saying is surely a foregone conclusion for various reasons. The political aspect of the case is decidedly against Premier Oliver. We believe the federal government can play politics just as well as can the provincial government, and that is going some too, judging by what is and has taken place in this province during the past four years. The P. G. E. is a Liberal undertaking as now constituted. It stands m a different position today than when the pres ent government came into power. It has ��������� ������������������ been remodelled throughout by the present premier, leaving not a vestige of what the f. G E" was when the Conservative government was in power in this province. IL now represents a Liberal undertaking in this prov '' ince into which had been instilled Liberal ideas of how a railway in this province should be built We are not saying that this ' system is right or wrong, but that it is absolu- ��������� tely a Liberal undertaking, remodelled according to' Liberal Premier and Liberal Minister of Railways. -���������" ' ' This"game of politics, which'is played by ���������both side's, may not be in the best interests . of the people always, but it is.that which the political parties'-consider is the best for keep- -���������'" ing that-party in power. ��������� We know it is practised in ,this province from what we see and hear."' Recently ' when a. delegation inter's viewed a.minister regarding a certain matter, -the remark was 'made by the minister asking ��������� " ' "if there was politics in it; you know self-pres- '" ery'ation is'one of the: first laws of political ���������'longevity.? -And.thatus probably only one instance' of what happens/almost every -day: ��������� if the provincial government is then a past V"."'"master at playing politics who,can blame 'the' Conservative* government at Ottawa, for ;play-. 1 .'ing'politics .when dealing with .that govern- '. ment or its representatives. 'When the pres- ' ent 'government was seeking renewal of power in 1917 we, find that the premier of this province, although a war-time'election, was out against t\e union of the ��������� purpose of carrying on the ' .waf, even going so,far as furnishing "funds to defeat Unionism: Readers have not yet forgotten the public expression of opinion from members .of the Oliv- ' er cabinet in 1917. Premier Meighen must know all these facts in connection with the B. C. Provincial government; a:nd who would ���������blame'"him for looking, through those glasses at.the P. G. E. proposition when Premier Oliver interviewed him within the next few weeks. . This game of politics might also be viewed from another, point, the point of future boastings on the hustings of our provincial government. Would it have pressure at the next provincial election for the Oliver government ": to refer to the fact that after putting the Bowser government on the blink and remodelling the P. G. E. system the Conservative government at Ottawa had, been induced to take over the road and make it a part of the dominion system- It would go down with a lot of people who might not.be familiar with the facts of the P. G. E. of this province since begun. , Now there is just a little jealousy between the two great parties of Canada and not many instances can be pointed out where the provincial government has helped the dominion, or vica versa, unless both governments were of the same political hue. Apart from all this there is no doubt but that the people of B. C. would welcome a change from provincial to dominion control if for no other reason than that the cost of building and maintaining it would fall upon all the people of Canada instead of upon the poor B. C. Taxpayer. As it is the Dominion government has not invested any money in the proposition as yet and is not likely to do so, as Premier Meighen must surely have enough railways on his hands now that do not pay. rates case. a '- ' The chairman would "evidently: persuade the people of the West that this change of .tactics is due to the fact that in the freight,rates case the Board was compelled hy the strength of the argument to -hand down a decision against the Canadian public and in favor of the railway interests.' "A careful',- observer however will find himself inclined to conclude that the people sre of opinion that these now tactics are due to the fact that .irrespective of freight-rates there is a change'in the mental attitude'.of the Board toward lie people. ���������. , ' ., ��������� Tt has been understood that the.Board of Railway Commissioners was.originally constituted'forthe pur- pose of safegardhig'the people'against -undue-encroachments'upon the part of-the big transportation ���������nd kindred corporations. Underlie Babee regime and under the Drayton regime the' attitude of th- Board was at all times transparently upon the side of the people The BoardSvon the implicit confidence of the people and consequently its finding? ivere always accepted without question. There need lie no hesitation in stating frankly that the Board no loni'er enjoys, the confidence of the people as such in the manner that it did in former days. The , opinion that, is , met with at the present ime is to the effect that the Board has a decided bias in favor of the big corporations, and that, to call it lie "people's court" would be a sad misnome. Although undertaken ostensibly for the purpose of removing any lingering misapprehension from the uhlifi mind .with reference to the freight rates de- ision. the platform campaign of the Chairman would ppear' to have an ulterior motive, namely, that of coking to re-establish the Board in the confidence of the pcoplft. There is but. one way, however, in which' that, can be accomplished, and that is by the Board placing itself again as sincerely and as frankly upon the side of the people as it was when it was originally established.���������North Shore Press.

In days gone by, people" dreaded a-visit to the dentist's chair as to an instrument of';torture: But modern science has eliminated the painful methods of a few years ago,, and the dental profession has,not hesitated to tell the world, through,the medium of the daily press, that it need not-hesitate, through dread of pain or expense, to undergo the most critical dental operations. The result has been that the health of the community at large has-been incalculably benefited, while the enter prising dental profession has prospered during periods when the rest of the world suffered. The whole question of professional advertising ir a "matter of viewpoint and' prejudice.' In most large "cities today���������Vancouver included���������the churches-advertise their services and activities. It is onb a matter of time until physicians and lawyers', do the same. Many people, knowing that they are subjec' to heart "or kidney or other trouble, refuse to consult r doctor through very fear of learning the truth" abou' their condition. This sheer ignorance, and it is tli ' duty of the medicai profession-to so educate the la; public that premature deaths and unnecessary suf fering will be avoided. This can be done only by enlightening people with regard to the advances made in medicine during the last few years. The ice has been broken in this direction. Already leading daily newspapers in New York City are carrying heavy advertising along these very lines, and it is only a question of time until all North America follows suit. "Let your light so shine" is not an axiom of religion alone. It. should be the slogan of every man and woman, business or profession that has a useful service, to render to mankind. It. is well to be qualified to help. It is also well to let people know- that you arc qualified to help and in what ways. 844 Cambio.St. VANCOUVER J.

I The people of India arc unlike our solves. as regards their' language, their clothing and their religions- lnit-at hca'rtwe ventiire to say India |s.no different to the rest of human-1,' ity, and the people of'India hone and suffer and live and die just as do the white people of the earth. ' .In the first place,,Ihd'ia lieson tlie south side of tlie continent of "Asia, and in'-it there are nearly three thousands,of. English/people, besause India belongs to the British Empire. India "is'"n'o't"'6nl5'"!iw vorybigcoun-' try In itself,-but. its mountains "and rivers and plains arc on a very large scale. -The-highest mountain, in the world, "Mount Everest, is on the Indian frontier. There aro enormous-rivers, the'Indus and the Ganges, and also the biggest kind of wild animals live (here���������.elephants, lion?, leopards and tjgers, and fierce wild cattle with mighty horns, and crocodiles in the rivers, which drag down men and,cal tie if they, catch., them: shakes large and small,' including the most terrible' of all, r-tlie ebbi-a, for whose bite there is no cure.'The heat, in India scorches with a heat Mia't can hardly be imagined and rain falls-in gushing" torrents, such'as we seldom see in this country, even in the worst thunder storms. . ;It is impossible toget to India at' all except by sea, as you may" discover by examining any good map; or by making a way through the mountains. * The mountains are so high and so difficult to get through that there are really only two passes by which armies have been able to get into India, and both these are on the" northwest side.. If they are well guarded. ah enemy cannot force his way .through, and an invader cannot one-quarter Mohammedans, or as they, aro often called, Mussulmans, who* believe* in the "teachings of. Mahomet. Tho Mussulmans think of themselves as descended' from >a race of victorious soldiers, who have been rulers of the country in the' past, anad (here is a , great division between them and the'Hindoos; whom they look upon as infidels. Hindoos and Mussulmans'keep separate,,"thev do not- marry' each other. - and in many parts, even under British rule, they can -hardly be kept from fighting with each other. fl ������������������ Less than ai, hundred- years ago there was a "shocking practise among the Hindoos. "When a -man died his body was burned and the custom was for the.widow, if she wished to be thought very Virtuous/ to "burn "herself alive on her husband's funeral pyre. This was supposed to bring some great good^to-the '--husband'in the life to come and so the wjdows [ were often forced to do this by "the ' dead mail's kinsfolk. This, hoiyever, ' is never .done now as'it-has been stopped by, the JBritish. ' ���������BMW The most remarkable cuatoicv among the Hindoos, 'and the - one which most works against'the pro- gr.e'ssjof' the -���������Indian as-a citizen, is what'iS'.called- "caste.-'- In( ancient times there -were ./four. / divisions, each of which, kept separate from the others and married wives who belonged to their own division or par- , ticular, caste; and the children were of the parents' caste.' The priests and teachers belonged" to one- c?.ste - called Brahmins; and the soldiers to; another. These, .and also the third ��������� caste were parts of a ra-ce' which con-, quered most of India; but the fourth - quered were considered as base born, because they belonged to the con-. quered peoples;- and the conquerors^ believed that they 'were not only* superior in this "world," but .would be - superior al3o in the next life. Among, themselves 'they supposed the Brah- get into India'unless lie comes across- mins were superior to all others the sea. ���������' There, -you see is a very 'and the warrior to the' third caste. good reason why .the. people who" inhabit India grew up apart from other-nations'so as'to be so unlike them in customs and manner". The sea and the mountains have been a barrier between- the Empire and the rest of the world. ' * " India is a" very hot country. Sometimes, in winter, up among the high barrier'mountains���������which can hardly" be sahV- to be in India really���������it is quite cold, but all other places, even the'coolest" are ��������� .much warmer than in ' England; and in. all the great "plain's -where the rivers flow, and still ' more" so in those plains where ,--there are no .rivers, it. is always hot. The heat is so trying that many Europeans get ill if they stay long so that English people hav?. taken to going to '-'the hills" in the' hot ...weather, or at-least to sending their wives and children'"to. the-hills. If they themselves have to stay behind; it is hardly safe to go out of doors except early in the- morning and late in the evening. Indeed there- are'"'few -places' in India -���������where' it is possible for English children to grow" up'strong and -healthy, so -that when Englishmen in- India marry they know that it is^ just a question of time before they will have to .send their children home to be brought'up in England, and that their, "wives will often have to choose between being parted from their chidren and being parted from their husbands. There are many great cities in India, of which the largest is Calcutta, In olden times .-and Indeed, until, a short time ago,-the British -people who were at the head of the government in India used to live at Calcutta the year round; but now they -livf. it Delhi during the winter and at Simula during the hot season. In India most of,the p.eople male their living by tilling the soil, which grows rice, wheat or millet. The big cities grew up because emperors and kings found they were convenient places in which to build their palaces as they could be well fortified;. and as the kings lived there with 'their courts," men collected around-them, that the people of the court might buy their goods and that they might be protected against robbers .or the raids or enemies. Other cities grew up in spots which were held 'sacrod as sometimes in Europe towns grew more quickly where there was a famous cathedral or abbey. So that the largest towns, except tho few ports,-were generally at one time either the capital of a kingdom, or places to which 'people went on pilgrimages or strong fortresses. ' ' A '' ������������������'-���������������������������'��������� There are not many ma-iufaotur; ies in India/ and so you can travel Immense "distances without seeing a large ' city, and in other placp<: where in ancient times great cities j have stood are the ruins of buildings that were once magnificent. About one in every thousand people in India is white, all the natives have brown: skins���������some darV brown, some light, brown, but all brown and there are a thousand natives to every European. Out of thenrall very, few are Christians: nearly three-quarters are Hindoos: If a man,"broke certain laws, even if he were not to blame,- he was de-- graded from his own caste and be-, cairie no better than one of the base born'; therefore it was held to be a terrible thing .to lose caste. In time each of these great caste.-* broke up into a number of smaller castes, which are just as ' particular about not .marrying into other castes. High caste' people will not touch- food cooked by low. caste people; and if people eat certain kinds of food; if they cross the sea or do many other'things.which seem to us not to matter at all, they lose the>> caste,, and .can only save thnseselves r by*-- suffering certain punlsmonts. There is nothing the' Hindoo fears as . much as doing anything which will cause him to loose his caste .and there has'often been trouble because? Europeans, /not realizing, "how Important this is to them, have made rules for soldiers or given orders to servants against the caste rules. ��������� There are also sacred animals' in India. " "The" most; sacred of all is the cow. and to kill or injure a co'v is a terrible sinin thexeyes of a.-Hin- doo. But on the other hand the Mus sulmans think it a sin to hold animals sacred or to pay honor to" images and idols. . ' BRITISH RULK All these Hindoos and Mussulmans are ruled over by the British. In about half the country all tho people who look after the Government are 'British', except that a few natives are allowed to share in the work." " ' ' The other half of India is made up of'a number of native states, ruled over by ^ their own native princes, who generally have the title of Rajah or Maharajah, and these princes have their own armies, although they are not allowed to have a sufficient number of soldiers to become dangerous. A British officer, who may be either a soldier or a member of tho civil service, lives near the court of these princes. Sometimes he is called the Resident and sometimes tlie Agent. It is his business to see that the native princes govern properly, though he does not interfere unless they govern really badly; and it is his business also to give advice and to keep the Viceroy of India, and his council Informed about everything of importance that is going on. At tho head of the whole government of India is the Viceroy or Governor General and his council; and when the Viceroy says that a native prince must do this, or must do that, the prince must obey. .- Big strikes in the logging camps "on Vancouver Island next month, with the possibility of the supply of timber being cut off,/.are predicted by Rev.

Now ho thought that without,undue optimism it might be said that this country had come through the awkward period follow devotion and loyalty to the British Empire; this had been shown in no uncertain terms when the.

Urgent public business not yet attended- to 1 has delayed him here, he said, but I the matter to be dealt with on.his trip are considered very important and in need of attention immediately The Premier will travel by way of Edmonton, where he will spend a day with Premier Stewart of Alberta, on Che question of railway connection between Pouce Coupe and Spirit River. This, he explained, is in keeping with his desire to afford the settlers on the British Columbia side of the line some suitable means of transportation. While in that district last summer the government leader suggested loaning the Alberta Government sufficient- steel to ��������� complete the Edmonton, Dunvegan & British Columbia Railway to inter-provincial bounday. The taking over of the line by the'. C. P. R. Government subsididing the line in oder to repair improve and extend it,, Premier Oliver hopes to make suitable arrangements for an early extension to Britiuh Columbia points. I Another determined effort - to [reach a suitable solution of the P. G. 10. problem will be made . by I Premier Oliver while in Ottawa. It 'is his intention to urge once more I that the -federal government take lover the line and incorporate It in jthe national system, or failing that, to grant a mibr.idy for the completion of the line by the Provincial Government. ( "I ntill contend that such* consideration Is tho rleht of British Columbia." said Premier Oliver. "We are suffering under a load of debt on 'account of this railway, which keeps the credit of the province at the breaking point, and leaves no money 'for the many pressing things which a provincial ��������� government has to attend to and as railway administration is purely a federal matter, T shall leave no stone unturned to have this matter settled once and for all." .���������!".' Other railway extensions will be discussed with the Ottawa authority, but the Premier said these nuestions were still In a nebulous state and he could say little regarding them.

Following up the resolution passed In the Legislature in February, asking the Dominion Government to pass legislation supplementing the Provincial Liquor Control Act,, Premier Oliver said he would pres3 for this, feeling that while Ottawa contends that the province luur all the power necessary, still the situation in British Columbia would be more secure with support of the federal powers. ��������� The Liberal chief will attend the Good Roads convention in Halifax on May 10, after which he will visit his tisod father. He will not return to Victoria uutil June 1, when ho will plunge Into tho question of taxation reform; In this regard, Premier Oliver said ho was moro than ever convinced of the advisability, of holding the next session of the Legislature not later than November 1, so that Christmas would see the end of the sitting.
