Colwell, pastor of the Centenial church performed the rite, which ;was witnessed by a fair sized congregation of friends of the bride and groom. The church was beautifully decorated for the occasion with flowers. Mi', and Mrs. Gibson will tour the sound cities, after which they will take up their residence in Bella Coola. The Gourier joins with the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Gibson here in wishing them all future happiness. The S.S.

If we "must have compulsory military service "let us also have CDnscription of wealth. It will be a farce to compel men to lay down their lives if compulsion is not at the same time,brought to bear on those who have made profits out of the war, they should ��������� be forced to disgorge their gains to aid their country. ooooo The government has, after careful consideration, practical- ' ly decided that in putting into force the principle of compulsory service in Canada the better course is to fix the age of 20 years as the lowest at which compulsion shall be applied. In the United States the minimum age is fixed at 21 years. The experiences of the war have shown that men under 20 years do not so well resist the varied and racking hardships as those of more mature age. No doubt there are many who believe it would be wisdom to place still higher the age at which men should.be called upon to serve. Too large a share of credit cannot be given to the heroic class of young men who, under the voluntary enlistment system, joined the ranks at the age of 18 or so. Behind Conscription. Reform within the administration - ��������� thorough reorganization, if not a complete change���������must also come if Canada is to support conscription of manhood. Those .dark forces, which have operated in the government"to the shame and degradation of the nation since the war began, must go. The government with its record, with the presence within its cabinet of ministers whose administration shows not only weakness but lamentable incapacity, with the shadow of the "Hon." Robt. Rogers, minister of public works, over it, cannot expect the people oi: this country unitedly and devotedly to accept conscription of manhood. Not only must the government be purified, but the nation must be made worthy, the sacrifice of those who oflferi'up their lives in ' ** . its defense. Production must be regulated and administered for war and not for profit, the rights of labor must be protected. Unless national service in the best interpretation of the word be instituted,'conscription will be come a mechanical function.��������� ooooo What Can We Expect? One of the most absorbing questions to the public now is the high cost of living. It will be remembered that the Liberal party went out of office in 1911 on an effort to'reduce the duties on food through reciprocity with the United States. The people of Canada did not see fit to adopt that policy, but since that time constant and great increases in the price of food has brought home to them the fact that the cost of food is important to every householder in the country. The Conservative government, forced by public opinion, have to some extent lowered the tariff bars, but their action throughout has been one of dilatoriness in dealing with the ever increasing high cost of living. The consumer has little to hope, and the middleman' and the profiteer little to fear from' ,the Borden government in its feeble attempt to solve the rising cost of food stu:l's. ooooo No Sympathy. The Central Empires have finally cut themselves off from the sympathy if not from the official comity, of every civilized people under heaven. Mankind averts its face from Germany and her wretched accomplices; and their groaning populations, sunk in such misery as no Euro- pearl community has known within living recollection, are now to feel that in all .the world they have no friend remaining, no powerful peacemaker to whom they can appeal, no quarter to which they can look for sympathy and help in the task of living .lown, when the^ conflict ends, the frightful record of their directors in the policy of insane warfare. ooooo Some More Bowser. At a Conservative meeting in Vancouver recently it is reported that W. J. Bowser said: "The present government has shown an absolute incompetency in its legislation of; the last session." The taxpayers of this province are paying this man Bowser $3100 a year, of this amount $1,- 00 is paid as leader of His Maj- r*i baking: MAGIC BAKING POWDER CONTAINS NO ALUM | MADE IN CANADA esty's loyal Opposition, for the sole purpose of aiding the government by criticizing and so perfecting legislation. During the last session over eighty bills passed their final stage and are now law. What we want to know is where was this man Bowser all the time that this work was going on? Did he or did he not assist? If he did not assist in the perfecting of legislation, which he is paid to do, then .he is obtaining the $1500 under false pretences and'the Act providing for the, salary of the leader of' the Opposition should be wiped out of our statue books.. Why should fifteen hundred dollars be given- 'to Mr. Bowser or any one else for no services rendered? ooooo What Is Wanted Here. The deputy secretary of agriculture of Pennsylvania has evolved a simple plan for demolishing the high cost of living. According to the secretary intensive farming should be carried on to the very limit if the high r cost of living is to be abated. Farmers in Pennsylvania, where some of the most fertile fields in the world are to be 'found,' should get all they can'out of their ground. By varying- the crops and a-proper system of rotation, planting closer and giving individual attention to their crops, farmers .can' help both themselves and the people. Something of this sort must be done, for there is no excuse for importing into Pennsylvania potatoes from Haiti and other vegetables that are staples from outside places. , Sounds just like what we get here in British Columbia as we import not only,, vegetables but eggs'-from China. Let: the Masses Pay. The Canadian government in financing the Dominion's participation in the war has followed the path of least resistance. Sir Thomas White has pinned his faith on the Customs Tariff and unlimited borr owingathigh rates of interest. He has declined to tap accumulated wealth through the medium of an income tax, although the sister dominions, Australia and New Zealand, have long ago adopted this form of taxation. Pressure of public opinion has forced him to make a pretence of taxing war profits. An analysis of the revenue of the Dominion for the fiscal year ending March 31st, 1917, indicates clearly the methods employed in raising revenue which is based on the principle that the masses and not the classes shall pay. Out of a total revenuo'of $228, - 217,270 raised during the year the Customs Tariff accounted for $133,531,155, or 58.33 per cent of the total revenue raised from all sources. Excise accounts for $24,253,- 632, or 10.52 per cent. Public Works, including railways and canals, accounted for $25,018,997, or 10.96 per cent. - Post Office accounts for $20,- 031,627, or 8.77 per cent.

In Canada excess profits contributed only 6.58 per cent and accumulated wealth contributed nothing. Upon the masses the weight of the burden has been placed.

There are not .wanting signs that a Federal campaign will be fought in the near futsre. The Minister of Elections has been unusually busy of late and this may be taken-as-an indication that the time draweth nigh. Doubtless the Hon. Robert is relying on a flag-waving campaign to carry the Borden administration back to office, but that remains to be seen. Patriotism has' ever been the refuse of scoundrels and Rogers sincerely hopes that it may afford him refuge, too. He hopes that enthusiasm in the national cause will, more or less, enable Canadians to forget the wretched story of official connivance at gross frauds against the public ��������� resulting in huge commissions to political favorites, "delayed war supplies, ill-equipped troops, fancy prices and a general rise in the cost of living. Sir Sam Hughes himself, late minister of militia, states that, the mostar- dent agents of the German government could scarcely have been more successful in holding- up the proper equipment of Canadian forces than his colleagues. When tlie truth about the war contracts become fully known, as it undoubtedly will be in the course of a parliamentary campaign, there will be such a cleanup of political grafters and tricksters as will serve- as a warning to all such for a, century, if not for all time.���������The Week. Junkers Fear Tide of. Democracy. According to the correspondent of the New York Times at The Hague the Junkers of Prussia have issued a manifesto calling upon von Hindenburg to put a stop to the growing tide of democratic sentiment in Germany by force. One prince wails: "When is von Hindenburg to raise the fallen Kaiser? " All of the Prussian reactionaries agree that Chancellor von Betthmann- Hollweg is a double-dyed traitor. They charge him with playing to the Social Democrats and with treason to the dynasty���������meaning of course, treason to Junkerdom., The truth is the Chancellor realizes that the ohd regime is doomed and that unless he deals the cards very dexterously there will be a tremendous upheaval "wh-cirwiil wreck the whole fabric of, Prussian domination over Central Europe. So far the Chancellor has been able to hold his position because evidently he has been playing, the Kaiser's game. While the Junkers are openly appealing to von Hindenburg���������who hates democracy, and all its works���������to proclaim a dictatorship by force, Wilhelm through the Chancellor is trying to maintain his standing with the people. It is a new role for the Kaiser to play, but there is little doubt that he is fearful of the increasing power of von Hin- denburg.. BRITAIN DESIRES THE PRIVILEGE. The motherland is providing for the buaial in single graves of all her overseas sons who die in Great Britain. The land necessary is being acquired, and it will be held in perpetuity at the cost of the imperial army funds.. All possible care will be taken of the graves. All expenses .of burial and of the future care^of these silent witnesses tothe~loy- alty, heroism and devotion of, the empire's- sons who die from wounds or sickness in the moth- erland will be borne by the people of Great Britain. In a dispatch from London received by the Canadian government announcing the above it is stated that the British government is confident that it will be the unanimous wish of everyone in the United Kingdom that the British people should be privileged to undertake this charge and ensure in this way that the last resting places of the Dominion soldiers be not unworthy of their services of the '.cause for which they have given-their lives.

The climate is mild and enjoyable; long warm summers with sufficient rainfall and mild' winters make for excellent crops.

This fact was established at the Prince Rupert exhibition last,year when farm pro- duee from Bella Coola Valley carried away over twenty first prizes...

The really great obstacle in the way of progress is not autocracy, but the ignorance of the working class.

Having got rid of the little father (the Czar) they are now trying to fix' things up so that the big father (the Kaiser) will find it easy to take his place. Mr. Borden has come back, from Europe with,almost a note of anxiety in his address and has put before the House at Ottawa a resolution to enforce selective conscription. Canada is a country of mixed peoples from all parts of the world and conscription is a thing which has always been abhorrent to us all. Yet it seems this is no time to go into discussion on the principles and theories of conscription. If the ship is.in a rough sea there is no use saving the oil to go down with the ship. If Russia makes a separate peace with Germany then weshall indeed be in a rough sea, and to enable us to save the Ship of Liberty we must throw away all prejudices or else sink in the sea of German Militarism. In this emergency we are most assuredly called upon to support the government in its endeavor to unite all the resources of the country in a supreme effort to aid in the overthrow of the most terrible menace that ever faced the worlds Great England's heart, Great England's love, .

The government has, after careful consideration, practical- " ly decided that in putting into force the principle of compulsory service in Canada the better course is to fix the age of. 20 years as the lowest at which compulsion 'shall beapplied. In the United States, the minimum age is fixed at'___Uyears. The experiences of the war have shown that men under 20 years do not so t well resist the varied and racking hardships as those of more mature age. No j doubt there are many who believe it would be wisdom to place still higher the age at which men should be called upon to serve. Too large a share of credit cannot be given to the heroic class of young men who, under the voluntary enlistment system, joined the ranks at the age of 18 or so.

Sir Thomas White has pinned his faith on the Customs Tariff and unlimited borrowing at high rates of interest He has declined to tap accumulated wealth through the medium of an income tax, although the sister dominions, Australia and New Zealand, have long ago adopted this form of taxation. Pressure of public opinion has forced him to make a pretence of taxing war profits. An analysis of the revenue of the Dominion for the fiscal year ending March 31st, 1917, indicates clearly the methods employed in raising revenue which is based on the principle that the masses and not the classes shall pay. Outof a total revenue of $228,- 217,270 raised during the year the Customs Tariff accounted for $133,531,155, or 58.33 per cent of the total revenue raised from all sources.

The Minister of Elections has been unusually busy of late and this may be taken as an indication that the time draweth nigh. Doubtless the Hon. Robert is relying on a flag-waving campaign to carry the Borden administration back to office, but that remains to be seen. Patriotism has ever been the refuge of scoundrels and Rogers sincerely hopes that it may afford him refuge, too. He hopes that enthusiasm in the national cause will, more or less, enable Canadians to forget the wretched story of official connivance at gross frauds against the public resulting in huge commissions to political favorites, delayed war supplies, ill-equipped troops, fancy prices and a general rise in the, cost, of living. Sir Sam Hughes himself, late minister of militia, states that the most ardent agents of the German government could scarcely have been more successful in holding- , up the proper equipment of Canadian fprces than his colleagues. When the truth about the war contracts 'become fully known, as itjundoubtedly will be in the course of a parliamentary campaign/ there will be such a cleanup of political grafters and tricksters as will serve as a warning to all such for a century, if not for all time.���������The Week. : ��������� -' "^^^'^^^^^-^^--r^TTrr^n-y-_r-irntgT_ i. Junkers Fear Tide of Democracy According to the correspondent of the New York Times at The Hague the Junkers of Prussia have issued a manifesto calling upon von Hindenburg to put a stop to the growing tide of democratic sentiment in Germany by force. One prince wails: "When is von Hindenburg to raise the fallen Kaiser?" All of the Prussian reactionaries agree that Chancellor von Betthmann- Hollweg is a double-dyed traitor. They charge him with playing to the Social Democrats and with treason to the dynasty���������meaning of course, treason to Junkerdom. The truth is the Chancellor realizes that the old regime is doomed and that unless he deals the cards very dexterously there will be a tremendous upheaval which will wreck the whole fabric of, Prussian domination over Central Europe. So far the Chancellor has been able to hold his position because evidently he has been playing the Kaiser's game. While the Junkers are openly appealing to von Hindenburg���������who hates democracy,and all its works���������to proclaim a dictatorship by force, Wilhelm through the Chancellor is trying to maintain his standing with the people. It is a new role for the Kaiser to play, but there is little doubt that he is fearful of the increasing power of von Hindenburg.

The motherland is providing for the buaial in single graves of all her overseas sons who die in Great Britain. The land necessary is being acquired, and it will be held in perpetuity at the cost of the imperial army funds. All possible care will be taken of the graves. All expenses ��������� of burial and of the future carel'of these silent witnesses tothe^loy- alty, heroism and devotion of the empire's sons who die from wounds or sickness in the motherland will be borne by the people of Great Britain. In a dispatch from London received by("the Canadian government announcing the above it is stated that the British government is confident that it will be the unanimous wish of everyone in the United Kingdom that the British people should be privileged to undertake this charge and ensure in this way that the last resting places of the Dominion soldiers be not unworthy of their services of the .cause for which they have given their lives.

HTHE REASONS for this enviable condi- 1 tion of affairs are obvious to anyone who knows the Bella Coola Valley. The land is fertile and needs little or no irrigation. . The climate is mild and enjoyable ; long warm summers with sufficient rainfall and mild winters make for excellent crops. Large and small fruits, garden and field crops are grown to the best advantage. This fact was established at the Prince Rupert exhibition last year when farm produce from Bella Coola Valley carried away over twenty first prizes..

The really great obstacle in the way of progress is not autocracy, but the ignorance of the working class.
