Matters Affecting Everyone. ���������"^Sr. Brewster explained ~ the 1 :-'otpct of his present tour of the 1 '\;$j$feince, which is, in part, to be- % ^cllfe acquainted with the people ^���������f^SSL give them a chance to meet VjfffiS, and also to place before ^tl&m at a time when there is not vJ������heheat of an election, facts and feflssrasfH :���������,v provincial J ���������^tfS&jjjfares - concerning . fJlfetters which affect everyone. fT he. people of the province i^afize that there is serious bus- infl? on hand, and they want men?whom they can trust to tell them how the problems which -confront them are to be met and how their needs are to be supplied," said the leader. "The foundation industry on which the true prosperity and success of any community is based is agriculture. We have i m m ense natural resources in British Columbia- -mines, fisheries, lumber and the rest while much of these have been dissipated there is still a chance to save the rest. This province is the brightest star in the con federation. What- of Canada in one case and by a judge of the Supreme Court of British Columbia in another. While it is clearly declared that no one can purchase more than 640 acres, the government inserted a "joker'' in the Actsix years ago which, allows, of staking by agents, and this has been further j extended, with the connivance1 of the government, by getting fraudulent power/ of attorney from people' who have no intention of taking up land. A striking statement was-produced by Mr. Brewster, showing a list of 144 syndicates, each holding over 10,000 acres^ with * an aggregate of some 1,200,000 acres in their names. In the years from 1905 to 1913 there had been six million acres alienated, for which there had been received by the province $7,119,998. There was still due, according to the premier, $12,- 800,000, "bearing" interest at six percent., but there was grave doubt whether either principal or interest would ever be paid. "That is the mess of pottage that political Esau, Sir Richard McBride, has sold your birthright for," said Mr. Brewster. "We have got rid of all this land and we are owed twice as much as ever we got out of them." - A comparison which struck everyone in the audience was that of the manner in which the- settler is fined for improving his land by the raising of his assessment, while the speculator holding land alongside him got off, year after year, with the same low assessment as wild land. The wild land tax is 4 per cent, but the leader made it clear that on the. land of the speculator this tax came to not over 2 per cent, through improperly low assessment. Dealing with the amount of accessible agricultural land in the province Mr. Brewster drew attention to the varying estimates, from the fifteen million acres of a reliable government official and the twenty million acres as government advertisement up through the widely, divergent estimates of the ministers to Mr. Bowser's 103,000,000 acres. "Where are they?" asked a member of the audience amid the laughter which greeted the latter figure. The people of Bella Coola, Mr On the figures of sales which had already taken place there were timber lands still lef tin the hands of the holders worth four hundred million dollars, as compared with the comparatively small sum the province had received. Just $10,000 More Than Had Been Paid to Two Agents of the Government. The ministerof lands had taken credit for aid to agriculture to the extent of $115,000���������just $10,- 000 more than had been paid to two agents of the government for removing a few Indians off a reserve in Victoria. Mr. Ross also praised himself for "planting" fifty thousand settlers on the soil, but unfortunately for him these could not- be found. They were not producing, so fa*- as the last budget speech showed. In that speech Mr. Ellison admitted that $20,000,000 a year were sent out of the province to buy food products that ought to be produced here. In a series of tables he had-submitted to the House it was made quite apparent that in many respects production of important classes is falling off. In 1912 fruits and vegetables to the value of $2,- 871,806 were produced, increasing to. $3,813,601 in 1913, but in 1911 the value of the product was $5,084,241. Dairy pi-oducts fell to $2,593,404 in 1913 from $4,280, - 462 in 1911. "A fter eleven years of administration by the present govern ��������������� i -i that he was not lying when he swore he had been naturalized. '"I have no more right to call myself a Canadian or a British subject," said Mr. Brewster, "than the men who come here to make a home and who ask to be admitted as citizens. I am a Canadian, and proud of it, of course, because I could not help being born in this countvy, but the other man is a Canadian because he considers this a _ good country to make, his home and bring up his family in, and he forswears his former allegiance and becomes a Briton and a Canadian. Mr. Bowser would draw a line of distinction between us which should make him blush, the port of Bella Coola (cheers). This was part of the policy which Sir Richard McBride styled impossible and impracticable. Today every line he had proposed , then in the face of that objection ������was being undertaken exceptthat from Bella Coola to the interior. Much as he had believed that line necessary four years ago he was convinced now from what he saw of the valley that it was the line of. all others which was the most feasible and the most necessary. Conservative Patform of 1902 Has Been Huge Farce. Mr. Oliver differentiated between Conservative government and what he termed government by a "gang of political adventurers.' ' Taking up the platform adopted by the Conservative convention at Revelstoke in 1902, he showed how far the McBride- Bowser government had departed from a platform '.vhich he, as ��������� - - - , _ i Included in the assets which are claimed by the government, are two sums of money which officials of the government stole and got away with. The sum of $12,800, - 000 due on land sales is not put down as an asset. That is the sort of balance sheet that is prepared and issued by officials of the goverment under the authority of the ^.finance minister, and you can judge'of its value. No living man can put the slightest faith in the truth of any report or statement coming from that government. These are remarkable for what is hidden or left out as well as for what is shown. There was a payment of $105,- 000authorized by order-in-council in October, 1911. No information of this payment was afforded in reply to question put by Mr. Brewster during the session of 1912. When a government will falsify public documents in order to hide its misdoings can you wonder at it conniving at >r i011o ed from a piatiorm .vincu uc, ������o y0U wonaer at it cunmviugau and your member, or any other L Liberal, could have supported the defrauding you of your lands member in allowing an act like j^^^ -^ haor, -nut. into effect.

Franchise to Women. Mr. Brewster expressed pleasure at seeing so many ladies present, and aroused their enthusiasm by his declaration that the Liberal party, when elected to power, will grantthe franchise to women as well as removing other injustices in the Elections Act. Taking up the financial question he called attention to the rapid disappearance of the surplus, the need for'a temporary loan because the banks would not allow a further overdraft 'and the securing of power to ment," continued the leader, !make' a loan of ten millions. ' 'we have the condition of affairsi Speakingof taxation, Mr. Brews- where nearly six million acres of; ter pointed out that the tendency agricultural lands, over thirteen !Was to'pile tax on tax upon the million acres- of coal land, about farmer.

But of what use is it to us to be making money out of our coal and minerals, our lumber and our fish, if we have to send all that money out of the province again to buy food? We should in this province be able to provide for our own needs and to export agricultural products instead of having to import as much as we produce." (Cheers.) ��������� J Brewster said, could see some of iMr. Bowser's 103,000,000 acres standing up on edge, He had been taken to task for being a million acres or so out in regard to the alienation of timber lands, according to Mr. Bowser, but it was nothing to ministers to be ten millions or "twenty millions out. Of timber lands there had been alienated eleven million acres, for which the government had received some $11,000,000. had it been put into effect. Instead of government ownership of railways, then advocated, the province had got railway ownership of the government, and obligations for guarantee of railway bonds aggregating to close on to two hundred million dollars; or $500 per head of the population. Mr. Manson, in the name of the people of Bella Coola and the rest of his' constituency, had mortgaged their property to that extent, and Bella Coola had not received the benefit of one cent of that immense sum. The construction of roads had been another plank in the Tory platform, but the government had never even surveyed a wagon road through the Bella Coola valley, in spite of it having the easiest grades of any route through the mountains. The encouragement of agriculture was another policy which in 1902 the Conservative party declared itself for, but twelve years later all that the government had ever clone was to appoint a royal commission which came back, after expending thousands of dollars, to recommend the adoptfon of reforms which for many years had been features of the Liberal policy, including loans to settlers. Mr. Oliver joined his colleague 1 in denunciation of what he described as the most cruel and undeserved insult to any class of citizens in the Bowser amendment to exclude naturalized Canadians from the voters' lists unless they produce certificates of their naturalization. He went on to deal with the government's attitude with mines and mining, map suowmv, i,.^. > , , the Nanaimo strikes, Asiatic posed was published at the time: laboi% and pointed out how far it "~ '. ��������� - , in the Victoria Times, and on;, i roiipn ciinrt nf meetine- the how a most unjust and unpatri-|that map would be fonmi a line!had JaJlcn.?h������rA^, ���������"��������� "K ent government." (Cheers.) Unjust and Unpatriotic Distinction. The iniquitous changes made in the Elections Act by Mr. Bowser affecting the registration of naturalized Canadian citizens were listened to with the keenest attention as Mr. Brewster described them, and pointed out reminded his audience that in 1909, when leader of the party, he had put before the people of the province a scheme of railway development for P>. C. as a whole; denounced by the premier as an impracticable, impossible and preposterous railway policy.

In addition he had < the assurance of William Wain-';PuWic Accounts Deliberately wright, president of the Grand I ralsmed. Trunk Pacific, that the company!

The Policy of the Liberal Party. The policy of the Liberal paj-ty, Mr. Oliver said in closing, was that of giving to every citizen of the province an equal opportunity to share in the wealth of the province, to enable the bona fide settler to get on the land and make a living there, to force the speculator to render the land productive or get off it and place it available for the man who will cultivate it, to spend the appropriations on roads, trails and bridges, on works to benefit the farmer instead of building motor roads for tourists, to give honest administration in every branch of the public service. It was for the electors of this and every other constituency to do their duty by their country and themselves, to recognize their personal responsibility, and place in power men who would do all this. Inspired by Fear of the Naturalized Citizen. The chairman enquired of Mr. Brewster what he would do with the recent amendment to the Elections Act if be became premier. Mr. Brewster, in reply, said: "We will do exactly as we will in regard to woman suffrage, act at once and put that section out of business, replacing it by another which will be fair to every citizen, man or woman, British- born or naturalized Canadian" (cheers). The leader explained briefly that Mr. Bowser's action apppeared to have been inspired by fear of the naturalized citizen, who was believed to be largely opposed to the present government.

It puts every institution and every project to the test of human and national usefulness. By that test, and that test alone, it judges. It moves ahead by eliminating the outgrown and the decadent and taking up the new and publicly healthful. The element that recognises this truth will at <all times work independently in the cause of progress, and when some important objective comes, within reach will sink all differences for the sake of the possible attainment. It is only by so doing that we can fully realise the true spirit of responsible democratic government, based on the genuine will and best judgment of the people. Local Minstrels Delight Large Audience. Must Repeat Performance. The performance by the Bella Coola minstrel troupe which took place on Friday last week, proved a very pleasant innovation. The members of the troupe, nine in number, had each and all practised the various parts until all that was required to make their efforts successful was an appreciative audience. At eight o'clock prompt the troupe took the platform, the grotesque costumes of the cornermen causing considerable amuse- , . i merit. After the usual greeting, the proceedings were commenced with the opening chorus, "The Ole Banjo," which was appreciatively received. The efforts of the soloists were encored in every case, while the humorous items by the four corner-men was met with uproarious demands ior more along the same line. There was no scarcity of quips, jokes and conmumdrums, and the patter jn between the various items went far towards making the entertainment the huge success it most certainly was. The troupe consisted of the following gentlemen: Interlocutor, H. L.'���������Harris; tamborines, P. J.-Kenyon and E. Wheeler; bones H. Sutherland and L. J. Calhan; soloists, H. G. Anderson and C. Lord, tenors; Frank Robinson, baritone; R.��������� A. Teebay, bass. The part singing was excellent and reflected great credit on, the musical director, Mr! E." R. -A: Russell, to whose efforts the excellence of the . entertainment, was greately due. The program" was brought to a close at a late hour with the chorus,- "Good Night," af.ter which,' votes of thanks were tendered to the troupe and also to~Mr.v. A.. C. Christensoikfor his generous -assistance:-' ' A-few remarks in reponse and-the National Anthem terminated what was unanimously voted to be one. of the best . entertainments ever staged in 'the'"history of' this place. ��������� ', But the end is'not yet. The members of the troupe have received so'many requests to repeat the performance, that they have decided to appear again at the Colony Hall, Hagensborg, on Tuesday, 7th. inst., at 8 p. m. prompt. Only those who are willing to admit that they- are absolutely deyoidof humor and have an abhorrence for good music, should fail to attend. (Continued from page 1.) following resolution' was unanimously adopted on motion of H. L. Harris, seconded by B. F. Jacobsen: "Whereas, the government of the province of British Columbia has ^accepted applications made by virtue of fraudulent powers-of-attorney for the purchase of millions of acres of the public lands of the province; and "Whereas, the Supreme Court of Canada and also the Supreme Court of British Columbia have declared such transaction to be a fraud upon the Land Act;.and ' 'Whereas,' there is reason to believe that the government of British Columbia has connived at, if not actually assisted in such frauds; ��������� "Therefore, be it resolved, that it is the opinion of this meeting that His- Honor the lieutenant-governor should refrain from signing crown grants to lands acquired, .by fraudulent means and, further, that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to His, Honor and to the press." Truck and Trade With the Yankees. Mr. Gutelius discriminates against NoOa ' Scotia coal in faoor of dearer and poorer American coal. ��������� A vote of confidence in Mr. Brewster 'and the Liberal-party was adopted with enthusiasm. LOCAL JOTTINGS, S. S. Camosun arrived on Sunday last with a lengthy list of passengers for this port. r Miss M. A. Beatty of Vancouver is spending "a few weeks in town as" the guest of Mrs. B.

Sutherland have spent the week at Bachelor Bay, where they ^are preparing to build a new residence. For a government which came into power on the plea of developing home industries and of hav- ing "no trade or truck with the Yankees," the recent action of the government in allowing Mr. F. P. Gutelius theex-C.P.R. man and ex-American citizen, to buy supplies of coal for the Intercolonial from. the United States at a higher price than it could be obtained in Canada* is amazing. The facts of the, case have been brought out by official correspondence tabled /in the Commons on motion of Mr. E. M. Macdonald; Last autumn, Mr. Gutelius entered into a contract with an Ogdensburg firm for 15,- 000 tons of "run of mine" coal costing at Massena Springs, N. Y., $3.89 per ton. This coal was for the use of, the Intercolonial at Levis. ��������� Delivered there its gross cost to the government, including transportation charges, was approximately, $4.92 per ton. Last year, coal said to be of a considerably higher standard, for use at Levis was obtained by the Intercolonial management from the Nova Scotia companies at a cost of $3.70 per tori. This year it is understood these companies were willing to furnish the I. G. R. coal supplies-at the same figure." Apparently' Mr. Gutelius prefer to trade with his own countrymen, even if it costs the Canadian public much more to do it. - - It may be further,noted that this contract was entered into at the very time Mr. Gutelius was completing his report on the alleged "waste" in connection With the construction of the National Transcontinental.

How honorable men could stoop to quibbling in order to escape from the observance of a principle so just and so plainly stated is almost incomprehensible. A trustee who should be accused of a violation of the' eight commandment would cut. a sorry figure in pleading that he embezzled only so much of the trust fund as he believed himself legally entitled to, and this is about all that the pettifogging plea for a free passage of ' 'our'' ships through our own canal amounts to.
