SATURDAY, SEP. 25, 1915. The Silver Lining. The motive of the different nations; commonly called th e Entente Allies, for taking,part in this war were no doubt various. But as the conflict is progressing, the-situation is becoming clearefand the world is now beginning to realize that the one great issue being fought for is, whether one nation shall be permitted to exercise power without hindrance to dictate its will to the resc of the nations of the world. This jis a cause worthy of a struggle even as great as this, a cause superior to all others because iris that of human lib- erty.. > ') It is in accordance with na- gether with the already existing state prohibition of liquor, will very soon bring Russia and her people into the front ranks of civilized nations. The great rivalry among na- tions in preparing for war upon each other will surely receive a great check and may stop altogether. A great drain upon the resources of the people will thus be turned into channels for the enrichment of mankind. Another effect we may look for is not only the strengthening of the cords that bind the British Empire together, but also a bond of sympathy developing between all the nations and races now united in their efforts to protect and extend a common sacred cause. Ireland and Britain will be reconciled;' Russians, Fins, Poles and Jews will become as brothers, because common hardships, sufferings and sacrifices will be stronger remedies to destroy walls .of prejudice and opposing interests than competition and worldly success could ever be. \. ' . The cause of temperance which is held by many to-be of the utmost importance for the common welfare has by the exigencies of the war received a recognition and support that has .'brought the liquor traffic within sightof an early overthrow in the-civi- lized world. . The Christian- church experienced a great fear that the war would give the spreading of the gospel among the heathen a serious setback. But it seems now that this fear is groundless. The missionary work is going on. Instead of halting and weakening, the gospel is winning morel Saturday, Septemher 25, ./o,'* courage and repeat in the words of the greatest of battle hymns, "Our God is marching on." . ture's laws, that the sacrifices made for the. protection and . maintenance,of the freedom of the world's different races to develop alongjtheir own peculiar lines, within the rules of international law, must have an elevating and ennobling influence upon those who are privileged to make them: In the storm and stress of the conflict, in tHe knowledge and experience of; the war, <sorrow and other suffering endured, in the loss of comfort, wealth and many other good things that make up the;, life of civilized people, it is well sometimes to lift our sad eyes from these distressing things and look upon some of the blessings which it is hoped will follow in the wake of this great work for humanity. That the cause of liberty will come out victorious in this contest is as sure as there is a righteous ruler of the Universe. Let us examine some of the indications of good to come out of the present evfls: Russia, that stronghold of medieval conditions, is experiencing a general awakening which will prove the downfall of despotic bureaucratic rule. The national assembly, the Duma, contains a large majority-in favor of the enactment of rjeformatory laws, such as: Autonomy for Poland; a conciliatory policy toward Finland; amnesty for political and religious ofienses not of a criminal character; complete cessation j 1 of religious persecutions; removal of restrictions upon the Jews; recognition of the legality of trades unions and others. The adoption of such reforms, to-^ glorious victories than ever. We have not the space in this article to enumerate'itsmanyevidences of progress," ;\but will close by mentioning that in. christian lands now at war, where formerly great indifference to things religious were patent, general revivals are being experienced. Houses of worship, which before the war were practically empty, are now thronged by a people who realize the. need of the supernatural. In reviewing these symptoms of reform and progress we take 7bo Hard Up. It seems that a committee dealing with the condition-of unemployment prevalent in ^Victoria sent a request to the provincial government that $60,000 be appropriated for relief work. The kind of work suggested by the committee was the development of agricultural lands. The committee reasoned that this appropriation would, besides relieving distress, also develop resources and, therefore, prove profitable to the provincial exchequer. But the government after carefully considering the proportion came to the conclusion-that the money could not be appropriated for such purpose, because it was "not practical" to do so. Sir Richard in his reply to the committee's request says: "I hope you understand that anyarrange- ment we might make with "your people locally would necessarily apply throughout the province, and we cannot at the present time undertake to go into a relief system which would involve millions of dollars." We take issue with the government on this, point. We believe that among others it is the duty of the government to. promote the welfare of the people and that, must necessarily include the relief, of distress; If it were possible, all relief should be in the nature of providing means by which the recipient should return value-for the assistance given. The indiscriminate donation qf food, ,clothes and money is pernicious. . A government which can afford to pay out $85,000 to two JRoyal Commissions, $80,000 commissions to Hamilton Read and H. O. Alexander to put through the $200,000 Kitsilano Reserve deal, and induce other extravagances too numerous to mention, should be able to make a comparatively small investment to relieve suffering which has been caused to some extent, at least, by its own mismanagement. That the government knows its duty in a matter of this kind we fully believe, and that it is very desirous, to relieve the situation, we also believe, especially at this time when an election is near, but that it does not do so is very likely because the treasury cannot stand the disbursement. . When Sir Richard states that an appropriation to relieve the Victoria unemployed would.make it necessary to do the same for all other points of the province in similar circumstances, and that this would involve an ex- 1 penditure of .millions of dollars, it seems to contradict his cablegram to England that the reports of unemployment in the province w.ere exaggerated.

Notwithstanding the report in 0l������r last issue that $1.15 was the price offered farmers for potatoes at IVinee Rupert, a reliable representative of a Vancouver wholesale grocery house stated last Sunday that his firm was selling potatoes for $9.00 per ton at Vancouver. If it should prove true that there is such a slump in the potato market, the storing of potatoes with a view of obtaining better prices in the spring will be forced upon our farmers. As potatoes are bulky, large cellars for their storage are necessary, where such are not read,y a way which will carry the potatoes through the winter in a first class shape is to put them in pits, in fact this is the best method of storing them. Keep them cov- -red with straw until all are harvested. This will dry them out and protect them from the weather. When stored in the pit, dry straw is the best first covering, then some earth on the straw, leaving a little ventilation at the top, or better still have a few- box ventillators run up from the bottom of the pit to the top. Earth enough should be added to keep them from freezing. Late in the fall before hard freezing weather, some stable manure may be used as extra cover and this covered again with soil to a sufficient depth to prevent freezing. The pit should be made where the drainage from it is good. SYNOPSIS OF COAL MINING REGULATIONS QOAL MIXING RIGHTS of the Dominion, in Manitoka.

A writer in the Family Herald and Weekly Star has this to say about the use of manure. It may be of value to some of our farmer friends. "I disagree with the authorities when they claim that all manure should go on the hoe crop. My experience is that corn will give a good crop on sod land as a result of cultivation alone. Practically all good farmers nowadays grow clover, and a sod turned over and for the corn crop following, well cultivated, there is abundance of fertility already in the soil. Corn however is a gross feeder and when harvested in the fall it will have sapped the soil of much of the available plant food that it contained. This applies especially to soil on which the corn crop has been allowed to ripen. It is the maturing of the crop that is the hardest on the soil. It is because of this that so many are dissatisfied with the yields of the crops that follow corn. They should be fertilized. ���������'Many farmers are coming to iu-lieve that the ideal way to apply the manure is to give a very light dressing to the corn crop itself, a light dressing to the grain crop that follows the corn ai.d then another light application to the weak spots in the Hover stand that need special aid.

Bella Coola farmers are independent; they are strangers to hard times. HTHE REASONS for this enviable condi- ���������*��������� 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. OELLA COOLA and the surrounding country possesses wonderful wealth in timber, as yet almost entirely undeveloped, and perhaps at no other point on the Northern Coast is there the same opportunity for a remunerative investment as in a saw mill at Bella Coola.

Those who. prophesy blue ruin if prohibition becomes effective, and who shut their eyes to the beneficial effect of prohibition wherever it is/.in force, should' read the' following illustration fished.up from memory of a campaign taking place 30 years ago. It may be overdrawn in some of its deatails; but it is,' nevertheless; perfect in its application' to business. John was-working in a factory which employed . one hundred L men. On his way to and from work he passed a saloon, where he called every morning and evening for refreshments. Oh Saturday night in common with his fellow labpres, he stopped to settle his week's bill and have* a glass with his-friends. Their stay was always prolonged until a late hour and very little money was left for food and clothes for himself and family when with brains befogged he wended his way homeward. But in the course of time a great change took place. It happened in this way: One Saturday night, with very little money left after spending several,hours in the saloon, he stopped at the butcher shop to buy something for Surjday dinner. ' On entering ���������the shop, feeling depressed and htimble on account of his poverty, he meekly stepped aside as the prosperous and cheerful saloonkeeper boldy brushed past to the counter. The rosy saloonkeeper slapped a crisp dollar bill down and called for the best porterhouse steak in the shop, John timidly stepped up when the saloonkeeper weht^ut and fishing out ten cents asked for a piece of liver. It struck him painfully that his family, which was every whit as good as the saloonkeeper's, should be obliged to fair so poorly when the family of the saloonkeeper enjoyed the fat of the land. He had also noticed that the dollar bill the liquor dealer paid the butcher, looked a good deal like the one" he had given him that evening. If John only had that dollar bill now, he might'buy porterhouse steak too. He then and there resolved that next Saturday he would buy" good meat, even porterhouse steak. Next Monday he did not stop at the saloon; but told his brethren at the factory his experience from last Saturday., and his resolve. They had been similarly situated and therefore they all agreed that, this week��������� they would boycott the saloon and spend their wages for things their families could enjoy. Saturday night came and John passed by the saloon and went straight for the butcher's shop, and in a loud voice demanded a dollar's worth of the finest steak in the shop. The saloonkeeper came also, but in a more subdued mood than the week previous. He very, modestly stated that business had been unusually dull" during the week and therefore could not afford to buy anything better than ten cents worth of liver. John after leaving the butcher shop stopped at the grocery and shoe stores for some necessaries and then came home to an astonished and delighted family. The other men from the factor true to their resolves did the same as John from that time on, with the result that the butcher on Saturday night sold $100 worth of meat, as compared to $11 worth while the saloonkeeper was his only prosperous customer. The other stores in- town experienced a similar increase in their business. And the same experience will every business centre enjoy that will banish the liquor traffic, the great enemy of prosperity. fn The Fool and Our Forest Dollars. 'By E. T. ALLEN.

Goodbye to the fodl;with the empty gun; Forgotten his bi^for fame, Though he kills his friend, it only counts one, And that, nowadays'., is tame. The fool who playfully, rocks the boat Is on the front page no more, He may rank high, with the fools afloat But his glory.is gone ashore. There's the fool with women, the fool with wine, And the fool who'garnes with stranger, ' And the joy-ride fool (he does well in- his.line By combining these ancient dangers). But they're all stilf down in the primer class, Mere novices taking a flyer, - Compared with the prize-taking criminal ass, The fool in the woods with fire. A few hearts break for the deeds they've done In their pitiful amateur way, But fire slays dozens where they slay one And scourges a state in a day. For the ruined home and the smokeless stack And the worker unemployed Know a hundred years shall never bring back The things that his match destroyed.
