In British Columbia we have rumors of contests and withdrawals from contests; here ������ and there some show of a fight, but it is a weak and dispirited Opposition that faces the solid phalanx of the McBride Government these days. All-this for want of s leader with principles snd of strong character. Some think brains carry further than character in a leader, and this is where the Liberal party are falling down today. That they have plenty of men with brains, no one can doubt, but that when it comes to high character with strong convictions and sound principles to back them, this is where they fall down before the sovereign people. King Demos, who rules today, is not quite such a fool as many would like to think; on the. contrary, he is often as hard-headed and harder than the rest of us, snd knows right well in the present contest which party is likely to be of most benefit to his class snd for the strong development of the country.

One can see by watching the process, adopted Bow it is that wood block paving has fallen in to some disfavor here. Sufficient care is not taken with the under bed of concrete. It's one thing to get a good bite on the block, but such rough finish as is.being use A will reproduce, itself in the upper paving, 6nce< the cushion of, sand is disturbed' Again, no selection or passing for use or rejection of the bloeks is attempted. They are just scrambled into position. The same result for cost could bj obtained by having fewer layers and taking more eare with the work The contractors, to give them their due, have been pretty slick with the job all through, and have had great /crowds of men snd material constantly on the job, which has been very smartly handled from the word " Go." Congratulations to J. EL Vickers & Co., th������ well-known Vancouver contracting firm, who have been swarded the contract for the new C. P. R. roundhouse snd boiler shops at Coquitlam, round about $40,000. This, is* tbe first instalment of the" large works that will ^ultimately .be put up'there in the course of time, -bu������ all real estate owners cannot make a fortune> out Oof one such place as Coquitlam. Both this and Port Mann has been pretty .well discounted, and it, would be wise to give them both a rest pro tern.' Messrs. Vickers & Co. have been the low tenderers also for the Surrey municipal liall and have their hands pretty full for the time'being. I am more than pleased with their success, ss they have had to face some tough competition of the American variety peculiar tb Vancouver. Straightforward dealing snd plain honesty will always' put & rogue down in the long run, and Messrs. Vickers & Co. will shortly be exposing in court a slim specimen of Yankee cute tactics as I have met with-r-and I have had some doped out in my time- The old story-������-the better you treat s man or. a rogue, rather, the more he' turns,and bites the hand he onee fed out of. South Vancouver sshool trustees mide a tactical, error in flouting the B.> C. Society of Architects over the school edmpefit^ai plans, ss this society now numbers over w.members composed of gentlemen who are Being constantly eonsulted about building locations hy clients who have not full knowledge of a particular district, and it is hardly to be expected that these architects will "unduly press the claims of South Vancouver when there are equally desirable locations to- choose from. The whole matter arose from a misunderstanding, ss when the council called for plans they bad no knowledge of any kind of rules which govern such competitors.v It was up to the B. C. S. A. to inform all local bodies of what are the true ethics in such matters and to forward,a set of proposed {rules for holding such public competitions. In the absence of such, South. Vancouver erred in error. The members of our own council were also in error in turning down the school trustees' "cut" of $5,000 as an "insult," after the trustees had spent many hours trying to find every possible saving. Mr. Thomas Puke took a very manly open course by publicly declaring, his desire to refuse further "insults" of that kind. The truth of the matter is that our beautiful system of single tax, which is only a bundle of all other taxes, is gradually leading'the city into financial deep water. At all events one very desirable cut was quite overlooked, which would have been immensely popular, and that is to have cut down the aldermen's salaries to the old figure. So far ss oneisould gather, the council had only the teachers' salaries to fall back upon, and of that sum the Provincial Government furnish $460.00 for each teacher, which it is well for the ratepayers to remember. The New, Timers' Jjeague is sn organization that promises well for the banding together of many thousands of new settlers here wno in the past have been rather "out of it" -invniaii(y> vital'matters.- One thing 1 am-in hearty accord with them, and that is to stop this everlsstring tinkering with the municipal constitution. That such a course cannot but be harmful to Vancouver is hardly open to doubt. t I came across one firm's representative who has a million dollars invested here, snd he says not another cent would have' been sent this way from that source had the commission nonsense gone through. A cable was dispatched to England the moment the Government decision was known, that it could nOt pass the last session, and Vancouver may be congratulated from having escaped a very awkward piece of business, as it was intended to fight the charter right up to the Privy Council as being a violation of constitutional law. .'���������<"." ��������� I have received ihe valuable and well-bound Vol. 1 of the Conservation of Canada���������Water Powers���������which is a most useful addition to our knowledge on the subject, besides a host of maps and splendid information. The volume also deals with all the Federal and Provincial regulations governing "use and storage of water. There is a special article also on Stave Falls and views on Bunt-en and Coquitlam Lakes. PROFESSOR ODLUM'S COMMENTS ON , LIVING TOPICS. v. (Continued from page 1) vince in the Dominion, Or anv STATE IN THE UNION." "Vancouver Daily Sun." Andyetthe "Sun" has been rearing and tearing around at a most tragic rate for some time past. ,; It rails against the present government and tetis its^readers that our Province is going to the Bo\r-wows. With loud shouts and terrific calls, it tells the electors to support Mr. Ralph Smith, Alderman Enright and BRUCE with votes enough to put, them into the provincial legislature- ' He says: "Send us down, and then Ave will change things at Victoria." Yes. they would change things. But what a change! The "Sun" has informed the public that British Columbia's "Credit is Better than that of Other Provinces and States." Then what is the "Change" that Bruce. Alb*. Enright and Mr. ' Ralph Smith would work? He says, "Send Us Down." And the electors, answer: "Yes, we will send you DOWN." ,. Mr. Ralph Smith and His Political History. Vancouver electors cannot readily forget the past history of Mr. Smith. ^He stood for continuing Manitoba as a post-st&mp, unless that province -would submit to tne unjust demands of Laurier and his foreign masters. He stood for the unjust treatment of the two new prairie provinces when they were forced to make provision for in*- ternal foreign rule. No, we cannot forget Mr. Smith's political history. And further: - Even now he is advocating free trade, thus showing that, if he could get into the,right spot, he would make an attempt to give1 our natural resources awsy to foreign exploiters- He would, in following an abstract wilto'-fne-wisp,������grent free trade to any and all comers, even "though they would keep up a high trade wall against Canada. Let him spend his energies in tsking s concrete world ss it is. The nations insist on trade protection. Let Canada have the good sense that she has shown, and hold to equal terms with the rest of the world. But if Mr. Smith wishes to talk FREE TRADE, let him do so in relation to the.various nations within the British Empire. This is the realm or practical free trade politics,1 TKte, aeademic, abstract, useless dreaming about world free trade is not in good taste, especislly after the votej of last, September.s <' The Solid Five Must Go to Victoria Again. There can be no doubt that the highest interests of Vancouver and the Province can best be served by sending back the FH|5 who have so ably represented the city of/Vancouver in the past. They are all experienced men, and are" devoted to the welfare of the general interests of their riding as well as of the whole pjroylnee. Each of these FIVE has certain strong opposition. Hence those who wish go^d government should cast their votes for the- whole ticket, otherwise tnere is a danger of dropping out some of the best available material of the Conservative party for some of the worst,of the Liberal party. 'While'many'would'be glad to see two or three more in opposition, still fo would be a most dangerous policy to attempt to give effect to such a desire/ There is no way of regulating such a wish, for what might be attempted in one riding aught be attempted in all where elections are under way. Hence those who wish to continue a strong, upright, fearless, wise administration should support the "Solid Five" > \ The Provincial Jdbersl Party. Even though we are in the midst of sn election, one must take time to express his appreciation of the wisdom snd manliness of the best of the Liberal party. It, is a fact, and well known, that the best and wisest of Liberals are sick and tired of tbe course adopted by the Heeler class, the extreme and anarchic element now largely in control. This'accounts for the fact that so few. good men 'could be bad to take up the.banner at this election. 1 One must honor Mt; Smith for his big- hesrtedness in acceding'to the continued call for his nomination. There can be no doubt that he would gladly have kept out of the fray, but fidelity and devotion to his political friends forced him to accept**-, .mj '��������� But all observers know that'the Liberals are badly wrecked, and are "at outs" among themselves.. The causes are many, but there are two, gerhsps, more important than the others. They ave the habit Of taking on a lot of the most extreme and dangerous elements to be found. An' old name is that so well known and so often used. "Radical" is the word. But extreme disruption^ ist, anarchist, opportunist, is a better term. These force themselves upon the Liberals, or are invited into the Liberal ranks. In' any esse they are there, and they never give or permit ssue government. They are the curse of the party and of all lands. Let the Bound LIBERALS drive them out, snd what they thus get rid of will be replaced by ten times the number of wiser and safer men- Hosts annually pass over to the Conservatives because of this very fact. The other important factor, and to some extent a natural child of the first, is this: The mass of the Liberal papers, which are Supposed to reflect the opinions and convictions of the party, have too low an Imperial platform. They are always ready to take on any kind of change or principle that would separate Canada, or Australia, or any other British possession from the MOTHER COUNTRY. Every observant reader knows this fact. The "World" and "Sun" in Vancouver are no exceptions. They delight to write sarcastically and belittlingly of every attempt, to increase our. Imperial bonds, and to strengthen'.the EMPIRE as a. whole. '. ,"��������� x!% And as long as they so belittle this determination to make Greater Britain still greater, tnen so long will they continue to drive ironY their, ranks the beslt men of their party. -; Vy I ajpuld mention scores of good Liberals Who- reluctantly withdrew from the party because of this very thing. I listened to an aged man from Ontario, a few days ago, as he told of Sever having cast a vote for a Conservative. He is seventy.-. |,nine years of age. But lo, he is growing so sick, -of his party press on this,very matter,that b^e has written to the Premier of Ontario, saying that ihef lias determined to give him his support; ���������. . This is crucial, and cannot be winked at, or cast aside with a sneer. Tens of thousands have left, the Grit party because of this. Cannot they do something not only to hold their best men, but to ���������win from their enemies' ranks? I write these words in all sincerity, and do so on the grounds of public interest. But "BRUCE" and the "World" will not take it "to.heart. Bruce is too much taken up with "Raffles," and the World is too fond of Mr. Taft and the L W. W. to reform. There is more heroism in a smiling face .some- 'times than in half of the deeds that are chromfeled in battle. There may be more self-mastery in thejloirrg of quiet duty than in the scourging of ;a ���������wliole calendar of saints. , - tMtMIWWWHtMHll I'l I ***4*********** ***** ***** ** Mo Dallvary HoCradil '\ I PuM8tMnMI1621 is starts tstl __ At *f an us**** st ssllisif ail sssk* k**fj*i Oar Salurday'a Spoolalar MEATS Local Shoulder Lamb - - % Choice Pot Roast Beef - - Fresh Pork Ribs - - .- Foul - ' - - ���������* Swift's Premium Hams, whole or half Swift's Premium Bacon, whole or half fish Fresh Halibut - - - Kippers - - - Smoked Fresh Halibut ^ - 16c per lb..

The answer to that sppeal will depend upon two things: the infpresvkm made upon the ���������public by,the record of the government over which "Mr. McBride ha* presided, and the character Otihe poller outnaed for the future. Di*eu������B- ing the matter upon the������*>btoe> t*sne* It would be well to look at-Uw-ont- sttnding feature* of the policy which haa, seen carried eu-. by, the government *lace 1MS;*1������4 to note It* effect In developiiie, *j**fldtng, sag eurfch- ing tn������ provinbei \ '\ ' AflmlnUtratlsa e< the^ Law.

J The Liquor Act i Among the most notable achievement* In thl*'direction 1* the Liquor Act with which the name ot Attorney-^ General Bowser will always be associated. This act has been in force for a year It has reduced drtmkeanese; It has eliminated other crying evil* "ol; the traffic, and has deprived law- breaking licensee* of their license*. The amendments Introduced, at the recent seeaioo of parliament are chiefly aimed, at the better protection of the ;ty|tet4tot the severer punishment of tfeeee who-forhfth htm with .liquor, and the prevention of ^poottattmf.*; It Is generally Conceded that tthes* amendment* will strengthen the act and promote it* u*efttlne**. f'.

Th**e condition* depend both on good law* sad on *trtct administration, and to that extent the McBride government i* entitled to credit sad to the confidence ef the people. Development Work. The real work of any government In British Columbia at the present time Is to develop the province on well-conceived .line*, looking ite ItB future greatness. Anyone who wJM take the trouble to follow step by step tbe unfolding of Premier McBride** plan*, will realize that he i* content to build slowly, ln order tha( be may build aurely. Whether It be railway*, road*, trails, bridge*, or public buildings, it will be found that the variou* part* fit into a comprehensive scheme and are devised for the province and not for a section. "Th* Railway Policy. The railway -policy which for two year* has filled so large;' a share of, the public attention, i* a policy content with nothing short of carrying main trunk line* across the province, and connecting the transcontinental . railways with the extreme western ports. British Columbia is a province of mountains, valley* and rlvera. ��������� The mountain sides are clothed with timber or sprinkled with mineral wealth. The valleys are bedded with fertile 'soil. Within a measurable, distance of time alll. these sources of wealth will be brought into ..reach of the steel roadway; and it; will then be found that British Colombia will have a network of railways:'.which-| will serve every accessible point. ' ..' -.���������������������������"'���������'���������"��������� Roads and Trails. Meanwhile the preliminary work of roads, traiis and bridges has engaged. i the attention of'the" government, and under the direction of an excellent minister in the tion. Thomas Taylor, a sum of money is being spent which only a few years ago wOuld have seemed fabulous. 3*he amount appropriated this year 'is $8,000,0*0, a sum practically fifteen times the amount available when Mr. McBride first assumed the reins of office. It Is no longer the plough and the shovel which alone are used In the construction of provincial highways, but modern-mechanical appliances and:a free use of surfacing material is giving the .public a far better class of road. -Steel and concrete are replacing wood, and fn every department the best expert advice is being sought and tbe most up-to-date plan* adppted.���������.--������������������-���������"*���������'?;._-'- ������$l$j|l^yp^ tf & the -teel. *ml ta* stimuli es^ecet iu approeeh a^ be wwu setei to ^^.^^jf^^^*a namber^dmrlng the laot Tfar to a sr ���������*������ ^*e������el^ thai the sbAwX. raaway potter *4fl m������> > docbtedly' lucmd* a r^lway (Sjsa*. south, to say nothing of the ts>S������sj*>".., lag ooan**ttov with tae.O.

It* is a record of success beyond the wildest, hopes, success based upon an intelligent conception, and a wise development of the unrivalled resouces of the province, a success which assures con' tinued prosperity in the future. It is inconceivable that . any reasonable body of men would wish to shift the reins of government.. That is hardly a question for debate, but it does occur to any fair reviewer of the situation to suggest that such splendid service and such notable results entitle the administration--to something more than words of praise, and that the least Mr..-McBride'and his colleagues have a right to e .pect from the electorate is a unanimous endoi- sation of their work. \ i"* -"������������������<������������������!->��������������� w-Mi tpam_4_������|'������ THE WESTERN GALL. $���������-.

'��������� Montreal, March IB.���������A move on the part of the city ot Chicago to divert more water from Lake Michigan through it* drainage canal ha* roused the; ���������hlppiwj Interests of Montreal to height* of great excitement, and pro- toots fBpny al| rparto of Canada have been e^rjng tnto: the offices of the Shipping federation here demanding that *tronk"Yeprejiehtatlon* be made to tbe government at Ottawa in complaint of tlje plan* the American* are' preparing to*put into effect to rob Canada other; natural resources. %It tp contended that if the idea of the CMcajoan* 1* allowed to become a fact' tbe depth of the water in the channel from the great lakes-to Montreal will be materially affected, The plana have already been placed .before .the United State* government at Washington, but owing to the opposition waged by Canadian interest* no action-ha* a* yet' been taken on Ihem. Since than, the Canadian' government has/am nounced that nothing can be done un? til .the'International Waterway*.Com- missibn ha* given it* sanction, and thw Canadian section of that conunl-Btoft ha* inferred that Canada's rights will 1>e amply safeguarded when-1 It comes to a show-down a* to whether the water* of .the great lake* shall be uaeu for swilling out Chicago's filth or for bavigation pnrpose*.^ Unlike tbfi Long Sault dam question, thl* proposition absolutely become* a menace to navigation, for it diverts waters from navigable channel* ana never return* them. Injthe esse ot the Long Sault no water is diverted, and the completion'of the plan* would actually be aa aid rather than if bint drance to navigation. The ' Chicago people want to divert 6,000 additional second feet of water from the lake*. As the water level* of the graet lakes tot *ome years past have beep below normal level, and as navigation has, been extremely difficult, rCanadlan ���������hipping interests consider the Chicago application extremely dangerous to. the Dominion. Through the Ambassador at Wasni'ngton tbe hearings of the esse have been postponed until March ~ rwben It 1* expected that, a large array of Canadian legal talent will present itself at the United States capital to put forwards Canada's claims/ tending to follow it through 'life.

T**ctiers Are Scarce. - .-. ��������� The ProteBtant committee'of the Council of Public instruction, at it* recent meeting at Quebec, appointed a sub-committee to study the question of the supply and qualification of teachers for Protestant schools. The, difficulties connected with the question have often been discussed. They have their origin in conditions, some of which.are peculiar to Quebec with Its population divided into two section* by differences in language, and some ot which are coaimon to most communities in English-speaking North America. Men have practically abandoned the ancient and honorable profession, and even In the cities, where the pay ia highest, more would be employed if they were readily available. ' Young women have charge, not only of most of the classes, but of most of the schools. From various .causes^ however, young women do not as a rule choose teaching as a profession, in- rlaing enormously year by year, accord Ing to a report completed at 'the city1 hall and forwarded to the board ot control. /; ' i '���������. fThe main cause* of the Increase in the diBesseT Say* hue, report, "are al- coboV immorality, Increasing struggle for existence, privation* and poverty." Continuing, the report Bhows that there were incarcerated in the Longue Pofnt* and Verdun asylum* 422 more patients In 1911 than In 1910. Equally striking are the figures showing what the care of the afflicted has cost the city since 1894. In that year the cost to tbe city was $8,365.58; in 1906, $41,- 986.22; In 1910. $69,403.56; In 1911. t74.5Bf.Vr. tbe situation I* ������uch that a thorough investigation 1* to be made by the city to tborosghly study existing' condition*. ~ Quebec MJn*r*l Output.������' An a4xsace statement of the mine^ a} production of the province of Quebec In. the year 1911 gives the total value as 18,567,000.

Want Commission Control. ' The Board of Trade has renewed Its movement toward having the Inter- coionial Railway placed under the jurisdiction of the Canadian Railway Commission, on a parity with the Other Compsny-owhed Canadian railways, and thl* time it has sent a memorial to the Senate asking that they support this idea. This has been urged by the Board of Trade on several: occasions since 1909 without success. But at* a recent meeting of the Board of. Trader Council a report was sent in that the executive committee, noting that this question had been taken up by tbe Senate, had sent an address praying that the Upper House would support their memorial of last November to the Minister of Railways and Canals, urging that the government railway be .placed under the control of the Railway Commission. It was understood that this matter was to be introduced to the Senate by Hon. j. P. B. Cas- grain. As many other public bodies are of the same opinion aB Montreal's Board ot Trade, and as a-concerted effort is being made to bring pressure to bear upon the government, it is not considered' unlikely that the desired result will be obtained.

J. Kerr, president ot tbe' Canadian Highway Association, said: .' "It cannot be regarded as good economy to build roads without making suitable provision to maintain and to keep them in a proper state of repair. Municipalities' undertaking the construction of good roads sbonld carefully face this responsibility. It is not one ot an alarming character in point of ^soBt, any more than i* the cost ot construction; for ft has been found that a system of main road*, can be built and" maintained In any community without burdensome taxation. A system of continuous maintenance should be adopted, in every county whereby road* will betepafred a* soon a* holes or wheel tracks commence, ao that the "more rapid wear of irutted and uneven road Surfaces'will not follow. tA.- ���������> . "By placing one man dn a section of road," with cart, horse, a pick and pounder, and a few, simple tools, with a quantity of broken stone at' hi* disposal, roads can be systematically maintained for all time in "good' condition. Similar results follow from keeping a crew of men constantly engaged under a superintendent, working systematically over a fixed mileage of road, with a steam roller, grader, and the necessary road metal for resurfacing. Important parts of maintenance are the cutting of grass and weeds on the roadside, the annual cleaning of ditches, and removing the > shouiders< that are. continually forming at the edges of the road frofn the accumulation of dust." The first of these maintenance gangs Is now at' work on tne old Mill Bay road, now known a* Shawnlgan drive, part of the Island highway which run* from Victoria to Nanalmo.

LETHBRIDGE, Alberta, Canada, March 20.���������The Canadians, who for three years past have been capturing nearly all of ' the silver cups and valuable' prizes at the Dry-Panning Congresses at Billing*, Spokane and Colorado Springs,, have got to look to their laurels this fall, for the Spokane Chamber of Commerce is going to :ndeavor 'to re-capture all that silverware and some more besides, according to the entries and space reservation* mad* for that organisation at the International Dry-Farmed Product* Exposition, to be held at Lethbridge October 2146. '��������� Daniel Morgan, financier and banker of Spokane* is the organiser of tnlB movement to gfve the Canadian* "a big run tor their money/,' and he is one of the. most energetic men on the Board of Trustee* of the Spokane Chamber ot Commerce. Aa chairman ot the agricultural, horticultural and dairying committee of that organisation, Mr. Morgan is making thing* hum, according to all report*. He has stirred i.up the growers'of world prize winning grain in Alberta and Saskatchewan by his announceSaent, and thef are'thl* early preparing .to grow atUt better grains than heretofore, and som* are now devoting their evening* porting' seed with' microscope*- by oil lamp*. In a statement issued thl*.week, following a'meeting of the trustees of the Spokane Chamber et Commerce, at which a large appropriation was made to meet the expense of gather- ins aa.e-tt-.tblt, Mt.

I hope'thfc :ly hint given last week a* to the city council'* own responsibility in the .matter of high prices might <be traced has not had the effect of: heading off the local enquiry. In an earlier article I spoke ot the influence of money and bariklng on orlces. That is a part of the subject require* to be better understood. We need to have bankers and] others who have a grasp of the whole subject, and I am told there is one banker In Vancouver who i* a past master on thl* topic���������give us by means of public lectures the full fruits ot their observation, reading and experience. The whole question is not even fully, understood by our, greatest scholars and but dimly seen Into by'our wisest statesmen.
