NO TIMfcJ KOK CRITICISM AT SUCH A CRISIS Ottawa, May 2.���������Something of a . sensation was caused in the House of Commons last evening by Dr. Michael Clark, Liberal M. P., for Red Deer, who during the debate on the war ap- ' propriation resolution, contended that ��������� criticism of the government should be suspended until the war is over. The .debate had developed into a dispute over the extent to which parly politics entereed'into the work of the government in connection with the war when Dr. Clark rose ancl asked "whether this discussion should ever, have taken'place." He thought some of..tho members were "losing a sense of proportion in the greatest crisis that this world, has over passed through" He added that in passing this vote, he thought there should be "a note of clear support of tlie.government from this side of-the House" From his province, 2 65 6 more men had enlisted than was necessary to make up their quota of the 500,000 Dr. Clark said he was reasonably proud of this. The people of Alberta were not so concerned as to where sugar was being got for the troops as about getting the troops. Dr. Clark added thai he had been impresseed by ihe Prime Minister's address. He was proud of being a citizen of Canada because of what the present government has done since the outbreak of the war. "He believed now as he did at the beginning of the war, that the government and the most of its supporters were doing their utmost to further the prosecution of the war. When the war was over, history would record that whatever petty political fortunes of the parties happened to be, the present head of the government, "has cince the war cloud burst, kept an eye single to the winning of the war, and has not been turned aside by any improper purpose of small consideration." Dr. Clark said he was also impressed with the loyalty and devotion of the headquarters staff. "The spirit that animated the government and thes tac was the spirit, that animated the great majority of the people of this country." No one in Canada, he declared, had one meal less, or had had any fear as a result of the war. He was thankful to the men at the front who were protecting Canada for us. "I am thankful," he declared, "for the way they stood in the breach a year ago at St. Julien, and the way they are standing in the breach today, and are prepared to sspend their last drop of blood in our defence." Dr. Clark declared that if the government had not made mistakes "it would not be human. "You can't make omelettes," he added, "without breaking eggs." Of-course there are mistakes. Of course there are They (iet (he I'm-ccl?* All Right Tim following Iuik been handed in the following clipping taken from an I'higlisli paper: Rlnginoro. Hector���������-How II-. C.

BATES, ��������� ���������* Editor and Proprietor FRIDAY, MAY 5', 1910 It is almost too early to say which side will come out with a clear, record and untarnished reputation in the mix-up in regard to the investigations now going on in regard to the Vancouver and Victoria election vote "plugging". Of course the true Liberal will want his side to be the purity piarty and the Conservative will want to show up the party who has caused so much worry since the opening of the present session. . But tlie honest voter of the province wonders to-day just where he is at. It seems that our politics are not altogether as pure as they should be and there are wrongs on both sides that need fixing up. We, heard a remark the other day which will bear repeating, "There was nothing like this when Dick was premier." onist. Referring to Mr. Brewster, it represents him as being hailed with the song: "Has Anybody Here Seen Kelly?" Is -this prophetic?���������Colonist. Elsewhere we publish an extract from the daily Province dated from Ottawa which ��������� is worthy the consideration of all true Canadians and applies -to the politics of this province as much as it does to the politics of the federal government. Dr. Clark comes near the ideal in his remarks when he says: "As a private individual and citizen who happens to be a member of parliament,,! have no time for criticisms. I am behind the clear-eyed purpose of the premier of Canada and 'so are the people of Canada; The demand now is to stand under the flag we love and to stand behind a government which, history has recorded, has done well. I am behind this government, and I believe the people are behind this government until the war is won beyond all doubt." It would be just the same if a Liberal government was at the head of affairs, and we believe Laurier would have , had that same "clear-eyed purpose" had he been premier. All this incessant criticism tends to call the attention of the people of Canada away from the one important matter now on hand��������� the war,be that eternal bickering criticism in the federal or provincial house. After the war is won and we settle down to real business a- gain all the wrong-doers in political life are sure to be weeded out, but in the meantime letus ask our politicians to act the part of true Canadians. There is enough to dishearten the people at the present'time without having it brought home every daily paper we read-, the fact, that our politicians and our politics are all wrong. As members of the British Empire we are a little ashamed of Ireland, but there are other ways of diverting that "clear-eyed purpose" not so far away. That was a foxy one that the premier pulled off on Parker Williams when he called attention to Williams' remark about the need of counsel in the investigation. Socialists do not usually believe there is any use for lawyers. There have been many requests to the government for a loan since the Agricultural Credits Act has come into force Many of these applications have come, from the Fraser Valley. ���������; A writer in the Colonist asks if the- taxes on farm improvements, will, be abolished. The same paper goes on to state that the Royal Commission on Taxation recommended this,and it was understood that Sir Richard McBride intended to adopt it, but he apparently deemed it inadvisable to do so, because of the drop'in revenue that set in. The Colonist strongly favors the abolition of this tax, and, if the revenue derivede from it is essential ,.to the Provincial Treasury, we suggest it should be raised by increasing the tax on unimproved ands. We hope that the Government will at an. early date give this matter very serious consideration. Colonist; It does seem a strange proceeding' to lend the farmer money, to improve his land and then tax him for his improvements; on the other hand it seems hardly.fair to ,raise the tax on the land of a man who has not been fortunate enough, or does not want, to borrow from the governm ent. It is bad both ways. Better cut out the taxes until a way fair to both is devised. net it becomes entangled and so damaged that it is an easy prey for the enemy. A Dutchman arrived in New ��������� York one Decoration Day, and saw the parades, and the flags aud the music, and the flowers being taken to. the cemeteries. He asked what it was all about and was told they were decorating the graves of departed friends, and was asked if he would like to have a bouquet of flowers to take to any graves that hejvyould. like to decorate. He replied: "Well, no, most of those people whose graves I would like to decorate are still living." She was a poor lone widow once more, for she ''had just buried a husband for the third time. Calling to condole with the bereaved 'parishioner the minister touched on the many gifts and graces of her dear departed, and said, by way of a parting word: ''Be comforted, dear madam', in your great affliction. It is doubtless a heavy burden to bear, but it must be a source of great consolation to you that you do not sorrow as one who has no ' hope." "Deed it is, minister," said the bereaved lady, drying her eyes. "He was a guid man, was John; but I'm not that auld yet, an' as you say, I've aye the hopes o' getting anither ane." Regulate the Women. We have just come across a clipping from a Vancouver contemporary, and we think it is from The World. It was printed sometime previously to January 25, ancl is a humorous comment on what was meant to be a humorous article in The Col- A good deal'has appeared in print about trapping submarines, but the Admiralty has not yet seen its way clear to gratify a not unrnatural public curiosity as to the modus operandi, remarks an exchange. Vosiche Zeitung, of Berlin, being under no censorship in this regard;, undertakes to tell how the thing is done, and at the same time to let its readers into the secret of the manner in which the cross-Channel passage is projected. We quote: A net has been drawn from Dover to the French coast opposite, and another from Portland Bill, near Weymouth, to Cape La Hogue. Between these two nets there is a space of over 150 miles, sufficient for all transport service. But a net extends from the Mull of Can- tyre in Scotland, to Ireland, and another from Cansore Head in Ireland to St. David's Head in South Wales, in order to protect the Irish Sea. To allow the passage of trading vessels and the warships of the Allies these nets have been fitted with gates, which can be shut and opened like ., pontoons. These passages are known only to the British Admiralty, and are often changed. Since submarines can descend to 300 feet under water.thes nets reach to sea bottom, as the Channel is never deeper than 265. The upper edge of the net is fastened to buoys, and both upper and ower , edges are anchored so that the 1 storms and ebb and flood tides cannot change the position of the net, or damage it in any way. The anchor chains are also shortened, sot hat the buoys are a few feet below the level of the water, consequently the submarines cannot see the nets.- either above or below the water If one of them plunges into the Writing in the Toronto Saturday Night, Henry A. Ashmead says: "We all know the W. C. T. U. are after cigarettes and tobacco, but if these good women who would deprive a man of his glass of beer would combine-with the men's committee they might do for young women what they-are trying to do for the young men. Why not agitate for the suppression of such plays as "The Eternal Madeline" and a score of others which contain more deadly poison than ever was distilled in the form of alcohol? Then again, why not cut out matinees and' picture shows during the duration of the war? What an enormous amount they could invest for creative comforts to those -men they are so desirous of helping. If sacrifices are to be made let it not be one-sided. Most women lose nothing by prohibition;, some men much. Eventually tho time will come when all allusion to drink or liquor will be eliminated from our standard authors, but there is always a silver lining to every cloud, and if we have to part with the famous characters in Dickens of Mr. Pickwick, Mr. Wardell and Cheeryble Brothers we shall lose at the same time those of Rev.

"Have you'ever noticed," writes a reader, "how differtntly people scan their newsfapers?" One man as he points out, will pounce upon the front page, another upon sports; some go straight for the market columns, some to want ads, others to society, theatres and what not. For his own part, says the correspondent, he observes the following order: First, the weather and baseball, then real estate, next the editorial page ancl last of all the first page,, where he skips as far as possible such unromantic things as divorce, crime and colitics This is an interesting bit of personal revelation.
