The last fifty years have' seen great changes in the different institutions of ourumlion. 'Hiis is noted in (lie complexify of our political system, In the vast social and industrial progress, in bettor humanitarian efforts for I ho welfare of the sick or suffering masses of our city populations, and in a multitude.-of, efforts toward improvement in ������������������>ur civilization. Our schools have fell, this (lulckoning impulse and now where formerly the little red school house stood, great High Schools and grade or ward schools have hueii erected. Where once one teacher .stood and 30 or '10 pupils there arc now many teachers and hundreds of pupils, all a part, of the great educational machine, more efficient it may be. in giving and receiving knowledge, but lacking the warm personal interest, the almost paternal or maternal care of the older teacher, and the respect and admiration of the boy and girl >for their friend, the teacher. In those older days' the teacher "boarded round." He, for it was often a man, was a companion iu the home, while he stayed there. His conversaion was often the inspiration for a bright boy's career. Sonic- times he labored with 'the farmer, sharing his pleasures or anxieties. This was ideal in many ways'. It was the nearest, approach to co-operation on the part of the teacher and parent that our educational system has known since the days of Grecian education. With the increasing complexity of the school system and the ever widening distance between the intellectual , status of parent and teacher, more and more .of the educational progress has been delegated to school men .till hundreds of parents' to-day send* their children to school to comply with the compulsory school law knowing'<��������� little of what the education may be, blindly believing in the .efficiency of teachers and school texts "and school material.

In nil the other provinces the yield is expected to average up from 10 to ���������10 per cent. less. In New Brunswick the total production,1,it is anticipated, will, prove 40 per cent less this year than in 1921, in Prince Ed ward Island 2 0 per cent, less, in Saskatchewan 30 per cent.' less, in Alberta l.r������ per cent, loss, in Manitoba 0 per cent, less, and in British Columbia 10 per cent, less'.-' Quobec is the greatest potato yielding province, the production being expected to reach 30,080,000 bushels this year. Ontario will come second with probably 18,480,000 busliels, Now Brunswick third with 9,710,- 200 bushels', Saskatchewan fourch with fifth to ha toba 10,800 bushels, Nova Scotia with 7,0.15,400 bushels, Mani- seventh with 6,816,000 bushels seventh with r>,565,000 bushels, Prince" Edward Island eighth with 4,474,000 bushels, and British Columbia ninth with 2, 646,000 bushels. It is worth noting that a small proportion of (.lie potatoes grown in Canada is used for industrial purposes, including the manufacture of potato starch, potato flour, and denatured, alcohol. It is obviously desirable that\where practicable the use of surplus potatoes in an industrial way should not\ be overlooked." Mr.- Ilinlon, organizer and- publicity expert for the Retail 'Merchants Association, when here a year ago, emphasized the necessity of newspaper advertising for successful retail business results... Another prominent publicity expert, speaking upon this subject, says:' ��������� "We hold, and we believe we can show all business men clearly, that the newspaper advertisement is the shortest route between the mercli- chant's goods and the. towhspeoples' pockethooks. . , ' - "Wo agree that your windows will attract passers by.

"If a, proper amount, of care is taken .in preparing the ad it is practically impossible for the reader of a paper to avoid seeing it. "The advertisement which the business man inserts-in the paper is the index by' which the public gauges the amount of business he' is doing.

If the aim 'of education were merely to get knowledge of the"three .'It's or even "the broader training of the eye and hand and ear, then . education could be safely left to the schools and the scholars who are giving their entire time to educational, pursuits. But if, as I', believe;-.education had for its prime" object the training of correct judgments and the development of character, then the school cannot hope to carry on the work unassisted. B$t whether the school attempts to do the work alone or not, opposing or helpful forces are everywhere surrounding the child, as for example, his home, his companions, street conditions, the church, library or his reading, .museums, stores, occupations, the park, play ^grounds, the theatre, .'.the gang or club, physical nature, about him. his own nature, conversation picked up- at random, the newspaper funny page, postcards, saloons and pool rooms, society, etc. The home is .or should be the dominant source of a child's ideals. No one tares so much or knows so well what is good for the child as his own .parents. If they could control the-external forces of education so that they would co-operate with the home instead of Opposing it, many a -child would have been save-! the shame of his mature youth and would have saved his home from the bitter humiliation .his deeds would have'caused. This history of the majority of criminals shows poor .training and little education. The bad boy in school is nearly always either the poorly cared for child in thes.home or the pampered,, spoiled child.

S. Hanes, Independent .liberal member for North Vancouver, came out flatfoot- ed In the House last week in favor of completion of the. P. G. E. railway, not only for the remaining 45, miles into Prince- George, but between Squamish and Vancouver. He described the Sullivan, Hinton and Dennis reports as statements of how best to abandon the railway and said he did not agree with them.- The people in 1912 had almost unanim* ously endorsed construction of the railway and if the government now had any intention of an abandonment policy it should go to'the people on that issue, he declared. Failing that, they should proceed with caution to complete--the road. He stated that the 27 miles between Whvtecliff and Squamish should not cost more than"$3,000,000 at an outside figure. Its construction would give the railway access to the term- nal facilities set aside on False Creek when that area was reclaimed. . Plenty of Timber. As to the move to abandon the line between Squamish and Clinton, Mr. Hanes stated, that there was enough timber above Squamish to give ample revenue to warrant operation it the government would only establish /booming grounds., so. .^hat the lumber men could get their logs into t he ��������� water. .

Mr. Hanes also urged early completion of the University of B. C stating that although he had not,approved the selection of the Point Grey site, he felt it was.too late to change that now. . ' VALLEY.

VICTORIA, Nov. 3.���������For two hours.of the two and u half hours ho spoke in the Legislature Thursday afternoon, W. J. Bowser, K. C, leader of the op p 03 i Li on, wayed verbal war against the government's administration of the Liquor .Control AcK Shortly after he commenced his ad-> dress he turned his attention to Attorney-General A. 'M. Manson, as the minister lit dmrtfOsof the liquor laws, and his castigation covered practically every phase of.the department's operations since the act became ' effective in Juno 1921, and particr/tir- ly since IIon. Mr. -Manson assumed office last .January. Mr. IJowsor, after "fearing the liquor administration to pieces." look up the Manson-Slevens feud and reviewed , the affair at considerable length. ' v - '���������' "I wish to call the attention o! the House to 'the entrance olj a jouiil'; man into the government this year," he said, referring to the attorney- gcneral'i "Me came with, a great flare of trumpets, clashing'1 of cymbals and heralding of the press, His first announcements included one to file effect that he was out to conduct the government's liquor business from a moral standpoint and not , to make money; which was contrary ro tho Premier's remarks that the people of the province expected the government to make a fair profit. Prohibition Bulletin Quoted. In substantiation of the latter statement the opposition leader read from a newspaper clipping which so reported the Premier. The government leader rose lb remark ,that of course ho did' not admit tho correctness of the press report. Mr., Bowser���������I read it bocause I know the Premier would deny it., <- Ho also quoted' Hon. Mr. Manson as having said that, surely the Premier,had not, meant revenue first when making the reported statement. Later the attorney-general announced the ''moral intentions'' aspect of tho situation. "So now we have an attorney-general, as comparod with his predecessor, whose morals aro above question," wont on Mr.i Bowser; "Well, .1 will^yy for his predecessor (Mr.'Far- ris) he never claimed to have any morals." (Laughter). N Mr. Bowser quoted' from a copy of the Prohibition Bulletin wherein Mr. Manson was,reported as haying said He, or his the act was being administered only for money lied. ' The act would be administered for the benefit of trio family life of the people. Family Life in The Liquor Act,. '; "Now, lot's see," he wont on. "Here is the minister not out for revenue, but his 'wicked chief is encouraging; him. 1 refer, you to the Instructions sent out for.a clean-up of the liquor situation. But what of Prince 'Rupert? Then complaints wore senl to Mayor Tlsdall of Vancouver, to the->effect that the city must clean house oiv the department would,have to step in. "I say the attorney-general has the power in his own hands to stop the beer-clubs operating, predecessor,��������� licensed them." Mr. Bowser said that former Attorney-General FarrisMiad cancelled twenty-five club licenses; Premier Oliver as acting attorncy-gene'-'ul. had cut off thirteen licenses, whiles the present minister had only accounted for two, At this point h* referred to Hon. Mr'. Manson as "thib moral attorney-general who has introduced family life into the Liquor Act." To Catch Cars rYoin Anacortes. The next location mentioned was Sidney, where Mr. " Bowser said a store had. been placed to catch the tourists travelling on the ferry from Anacortes. The store was "conveniently located on the whan*.' He suggested that since the 0. P. R. were installing another ferry to operate from Bellingham, a store might be opened on that vessel ��������� and then no pportuhity- an anadian oys In;the heart of the Laurentians surrounded by lakes and mountains am now satisfied that no .one ever that compose that far-famed summer resort of Eastern Canada is the Shawbridge Boys' Farm and Training- School, an institution that as doing a great and much needed work. Its several fine buildings are set in surroundings that make for the upbuilding of physical and moral stamina, and upwards of two hun dred lads of varying ages are there being given a new and better chance to make good in this country of opportunity for young men. v' The farm is supported partly by a grant from the Quebec Provincial Government, and partly by public subscription. ��������� Its president is E. W. Beatty, President of the C. P. R��������� and at a-recent gathering there, Mr. Beatty gave an" address in which were ssaid many things that might profitably be read by all Canadian ��������� boys. He said in part: '"���������When I was a.very young boy at echool I did not believe in study. I worked a little, but I played a lot, and I did many of the things I should not do, and left undone many of, those I should. ������ When I was thirteen years of age, and had finished one year's course in a prominent school in'Toronto, my parents received a report which, without bragging, I think I may say was the worst report ever written about a boy. I was in trouble from the beginning of the year. I had spent most of my time after hours in school, doing the things I should ��������� have done during the class period. When this report was received it was accompanied by a note that in the opinion of the principal of that school it would get along fairly well if I did not return. I do not remember ever having felt so humiliated about anything as I was when T read that ��������� report. I felt that I had proved to the college and to the other pupils my inability ..to do as well as others and take advantage of the educational opportunities which were offered me. I was sent to another school where my record was not known, for which I was very thankful. I there fell into the hands of a teacher who was one of the best teachers for boys I had ever met though he had a us-when he'was not abusing us. If likely.,to be hit on the head with a ruler, but the first words of en tion of this fact increased' until I succeeded who did not work, and that fortuitous events or .accidents do not make for permanent success. None of you here will ever regret 'the time you have spent in mastering things" which appear # hard, or curing yourselves of habits which they have inherited or which you have acquired. The older you grow the more you will, realize the fact that men even in "this young, country are fighting for a ��������� living,, that competition is keen and men more numerous than good .positions. ��������� You will be told that your objeet in life is to be a success, and that is . true, because without ambition to a success no man goes Very far. But success does not, necessarily mean the amassing of money, or the obtaining of high position. A man may be a success in the truest sense of the tenh if he _ has moderate means, is charitable and helpful to others, and, above , all," retains his own self-respect, which , inspires;. the respect of others, quite ..regardless whether he is ��������� the , -.possessor of money or without it. You will find, too,.that the things which you admire in others are the things which you would like to' be yourself. .You wiU'-see men judged by others 'in accordance with ��������� thre������ or four simple standards.- If- he possesses those qualities and those standards he will be. admired and respected by his fellows. If he does not, he will fail. To attain success the most,,essenr tial thing is good health. A' sound body usually means a Sound mind, and a boy who is careful of his health and makes himself strong and vigorous has distinct advantage over those who are physically weak. While it is not impossible, it is extremely difficult for anyone to work against the handicap of ill - health. And so I say to you in all seriousness, work hard, and play hard, enjoy games, and spend your time as much as possible in the open. Build yourselves up, because you , may have a long life, and every ounce of strength you store up in your youth adds to your vitality when you are older. If that is a physical necessity to j naa ever mei cuuugn ue uau a -"-j- v..*... .- - r- ���������'/v������������������������������������������������������ -..-v . very violent temper. He encouraged a man's success, there are certain moral qualities without which he US --vylieu lie waa uui ouiwiiij; uo. ij. i..v.������~. ^l~������������������--~- , , anyone showed inattention he was cannot obtain permanent' advance ment. The first is honesty.; No man in courag-ement I ever received came this, or any other country who is not from that man. He told me that some say if I worked hard I might amount to something, which was news to me���������I had never heard it beY fore. -In any event he gave me an iiispiration to study, and so I worked, and the more I worked the more I realized how valuable it was, and as the years went by my apprecia- honest has attained permanent success. He may. appear to-do so. He may amass money by means which are at least doubtful, but without honesty he cannot gain or retain the respect of his fellow-men, and without that no man can be said to be a success. "~ ' The second essential i������ courage. Moral courage like physical courage, is of a great advantage to a boy. Moral courag* is what enables a man ;to do right, regardless of what others think or-say, who refuses to do wrong no matter what the .temptation. Physical courage ' is that. independence and confidence in your own. physical abilities which enables a man to fight a bully, even though he Ib physically his superior, because he will not be put down through fear. Physical courage is very- common. It exists to a more or less * extent in most Canadian boys. Moral courage is more rare. The third essential is modesty. Ther������ is .nothing more admirable than the modesty of a boy who at the same/time maintains his own self-respect. Coupled with modesty is courtesy, and most' modest people are courteous. Most conceited people are not. The modest boy never forgets to be polite to his elders or to women, and the first thing which an older man or woman recognizes and appreciates about a boy is his attitude of respect to those who ' are older than he. I cannot tell you how many positions have been' won by boys whose manner towards older people has been modest and respectful, or how many lost by those who forgot this essential quality. - I told you that life is a struggle. It is also a race, and if you are- in the race you must be equipped so that the competition will be equal. No boy whe neglects his studies has the same opportunity afterwards as a'boy who does not. He finds him-, self handicapped in a hundred way3 by a lack of knowledge which he * should have acquired when the opportunity, was offered him. He sees other boys go ahead of him because of this advantage, and he oftentimes, is reduced to earning his living by physical work for the simple reason that he has not trained himself to think. , _ . Learn all that you can learn. Follow the instructions of your teachers, because, later what they teach you will b������'!found of gTeat advantage, and without it you will feel handicapped, embarrassed, and sometimes "ashamed. There is a word we use to sum up a lot of qualities which we admire in any boy, and that is , manliness. Manliness mans a boy who is considered courageous, fair, generous, and -who respects himself and others. . Everyone admires a manly boy No one admires a boy who is a sneak, who cheats, who does mean, underhand things. We like a boy or a man who stands on his own feet, looks everyone in the eye, who succeeds because he works and because he uses his ability for his own advancement'without injuring anyona else." ��������� - -���������-��������� ' one would be missed. A, store had recently been opened at. Coalniont, said Mr. Bowser. At that place,' the men came down from (he inilies in buckets and the store was right whore they got off. lie next spoke of the'Premier recommending "made in B.'C. Whisky," distilled at New Westminster. An ordcr-in-council was passed on May . 18 providing for the sale of the "hip mickey." An order was passed "for the sale of the lG-ounce bottle, the "Manson Mickey." Then a man could easily slip ' one of'these mlckeys into his hip pocket and escape detection; or one, in each pocketi and the price was' reasonable. The whisky was only two years old but that did not make any differ- ��������� ence, and you can get it at Manson'a store for $2. ��������� . "So I say the attornoy-general ha& been retrograding the morals of the country instead of raising them," he charged. Above (lie Laws of the Country. ' Mr. Bowser then spoke of an advertisement of this B.'-C. whisky." The copy read. "How to keep well," and the reading matter extolled the virtucs-of the brand. It was good for coughs and colds and numerous ailments, including insomnia. "That^is what the Premier recommended; he should take some of his own medicine, as he suffers from insomnia," advised the speaker. "That would not elevate my family life," chortled Hon. Mr. Oliver. , Mr. Bowser then spoke of .the -. crown being above the laws of the country, since the liquor stores were kept open on Wednesday and all others were closed. Was this not . defaming the laws of the land? In- ' stead of young men spending their Wednesday afternoons at. picnics they were influenced to buy liquor," he said. ' . , . , "And recently at Kamloops one of the commissioners, J. H. Falconer, . said that'in order to stop bootlegging it might be necessary to keep, the stores open until 10 o'clock," he con- , tinued. "The bootlegger works in ��������� the dead of night; that sis the excuse." ' .,- The opposition leader made fun of . the reported suggestion-of the ' Premier while en route to . the Nelson , convention that good cider might be made from surplus Okanagaii apples. "Then 1 understand he conferred., with his son regarding manufacturing brandy from peaches. . First of all a prohibition premier, a contributor to prohibition funds, recom-' .mending the use of B. C. whisky; ', then the manufacture of cider ,arul ' peach brandy!" he .humorously exclaimed. "f would suggest to the attorney- general that he label the. brandy 'Honest John' and riiake it'a good seller," he added; " and laughter fpl-, lowed. Mr. Bowser then criticised the permission granted for the transfer of a bonded liquor warehouse from Creston to Greenwood. That was* done because Greenwood was closer . in touch with American consumers, lie said. Hon. Mr. Manson and Mr. Farris interjected that the transfer could not have been prevented-.legally. ' ". , Language of the Dor- -Kennel. Taking up the Manson-Stevens verbal dispute, the leader of the op- ���������. position said that the attorney-gener-. , al's characterization of Mr. Stevens as a yellow, yellow cur and a. scav- , enger was language conducive to a breach of the peace and would encourage partisanship to run wild. It ��������� was the language of the dog-kennel, he asserted, and he recalled an in- , stance when the attorney-general as member for Omineca had "barn- ed" at the opposition leader across the fioor of the House. "The honourable gentleman misunderstood me at that time and I am sorry he. did;' I thought that was forgotten" returned Mr. Manson. "My hearing is good and abuse of - a vulgar kind is of no excuse" was 'Mr. Bowser's reply. - He asserted that Mr. Stevens had been a minster of the federal I House and was a reputable and responsible citizen. He knew what he was talking about when'he made his charges. Bootlegging- as Industry in North. Mr. Bowser referred to Mr; Man- son's statement that Prince Rupert and the ridings',of Omineca and Fort George were clean. Mr. Manson���������I did not say that Prince Rupert was clean but I said that the latest reports showed Omineca and Fort George to be clean. I. was dissatisfied with conditions in Prince Rupert. Mr. Bowser���������Then why have wailed .until Mr. Stevens' charges were made on October 10 before commencing a clean-up? Hon. Mr. Manson���������For the same reason that we waited in'other parts' of the province where prosecutions are pending; when we can get around to them. Mr. Bowser���������Prosecutions could be launched in Penticton, "Delta. Fernie and elsewhere, so why not in ' his home town of Prince Rupert where conditions should be best known? The opposition leader said there were 28 0 bootleggers in Prince Rupert: bootlegging was one of the town's chief industries and no man who arrived there with money was' (Continued on Last Page) ' if "\ fcl ���������\ : ���������...��������������������������� .'

Farmers' Phone 1005) ADMINISTRATION OF LIQUOR ACT IS UXDKK PUSH (Continued from Page Three) permitted to get away. .He remarked that the attorney-general was not cancelling any licenses in Prince Rupert nor cutting off the beer supply. He refen-eft to lion. Mr. Manson s speech before the Liberal Association in Victoria and the maker "feeling ashamed of it in the momint?, when he saw it in cold print." "Then the following evening he went to Esquimalt to speak," continued Mr. Bowser, "and suggested thai, politics should be taken out of the gutter. At the same . meeting he spoke of a coat of tar and feathers awaiting Mr. Stevens in Omineca. ��������� Imagine the attorney-general of this province suggesting to his bootlegger friends in Omineca that they tar and feather Mr. Stevens!" He digressed a moment to speak of law enforcement, and courthouses, saying that the late government had been roundly criticized for constructing courthouses all over the country. "Yes, we constructed courthouses, but how about the $400,000 one in Pria-ce'..Rupert, with its three chairs costing;,;$1600? And the building, while nearing completion, is being held up while .marble is being brought from-Italy,":'he added. Mr. Bowser claimed that the Daily News of, Prince Rupert had roundly, flayed the policy of the administration in a recent editorial, although that paper was the organ of the government. Objection was voiced to the way in which a "clean-up" of the townSvas started shortly after - the Stevens charges were made: The speaker' read a clipping taken from the Prince Rupert paper, which warned that, stool pigeons were on their way and that even the red lignt districts-would be closed. Hon. Mr. Manson objected that the report was a mistaken one and appeared to be the fabrication of some fertile brain. -,.Mr. Bowser next took up what he said what a most serious matter, the Stevens charge that Hon. Mr. Man- son was a member of a legal firm .handling criminal work: As attorney-general', Hon. Mr. Manson was prosecuting criminals while his '.partner or partners were defending. The1-attorney-general denied this emphatically, and again offered to open the books of the firm and declared that his firm had not handled criminal or quasi-criminal cases excepting in two instances shortly after his appointment, and these were handled under unusual conditions. He asserted that not one dollar went Into his pocket, or would, in this connection. He said a separate firm had been incorporated. Mr. 'Bowser:. A firm within a' firm. Hon. Mr. Manson: No. a firm without a firm. Mr. Bowser: I don't care where the profits go, the offices used are the same. He spoke of a case where the at't- torney:general's department was prosecuting an offender and a mem- of the legal firm was defending. ,Tho man was convicted and sentenced. Later a pardon was granted. The minister explained that (.here were extenuating circumstances. The ' citizens .had asked for clemency, two justices of the peace likewise, and the constable declared that the man was in such ill-health that he could not stand a prison sentence. Further, the wife of the convicted man had lost her eyesight. Mr. Bowser spoke of a man on the Queen Charlotte Islands being prosecuted for murder by the Crown, while one of Mr. Manson's firm defended him. He then said the beer clubs were still running in Prince Rupert and that while the attorney-general might change the firm name, business came through the underworld. And what influences the underworld? he asked. Earlier in his address he referred to the frequent caucuses held by the Liberal party and asserted that the Premier had been dictated to repeatedly by the caucus, until he had even lost his prerogative as' leader. Already this session, he added, the party whip was cracking so effectively that private members were Abbotsford, B.C. being stifled and prevented from speaking upon the needs of their "constituencies. He said that at Nelson the Premier promised that patrongage would be rest.ablished and added that' he did not know when it had been ahol- ishod. "But let the dance go on; your time is short," he warned. Then he added that for the-first time in the history of party government, Vancouver was without cabinet representation, and for over a year that, great city had been without, its full six members. It was being robbed for political advantage, which lie called a cowardly, unconstitutional action. ' .. He spoke of the $43,000 which had been collected by G. G. McGee'r, K| C, as fees and epenses for carrying on the freight rates fight at Ottawa, and wondered what the net results wore to tiie people: He claimed that the Premier and Mr. Mc Geer were not entitled to the credit for what. British Columbia tiki receive. On the other hand, Premier King was confronted with a peculiar situation, and the farmers' votes did the trick. "1 hope it won't take another $48,000 to go into the coffers oi Vancouver friends before the matter is disposed of," remarked the opposition leader. He twitted the finance minister over the mention in , the King's speech of the stabilization of exchange, to the great advantage- of B. C. and said that surely Hon. M\: Hart, never in his, wildest dreams, ���������thought that he had accomplished the stabilization of exchange in Wall Street. Mr. Bowser said it would not bi. long before the. minister! would be trying to borrow from five to.ten milr lion dollars more, and it. was necessary to. get the government members into good humor.. The speaker wondered why mention had not been made in the Kings*, speech oi' the proposed survey of crown timber lands. He suggested that there was a history to this which- the minister might well have kept in' the dark. . ... Premier's Great Railroad Ambitions Speaking of the P. G. E.' he remarked that conditions were getting worse and worse, but* the government decided to "muddle through," and.ho felt that all they could do was to keep on muddling. He spoke lightly of the Premier's retirement as minister of railways, and of the secret way in which Hon. Dr. Mac- Lean had been sworn in. The latter was true to the .place of his birth, and as minister of education had surrounded himself witu employees from Prince Edward Island. That minister's knowledge of railways, said Mr. Bowser, was- largely confined to the narrow-gauge one on Prince Edward Island. Probably Hon. Dr. MacLean would go down in history as the narrow-gauge minister of railways. LOCAL and DISTRICT Miss F. E. Trethewey is spending the week-end in Seattle.
