The housekeeper Jets the house take precedence of tbe pleasure ol the husband, aud many brigut, happy hours with tiio children, ihe home- maker may not be "perfection persuu- ilied." However, neatness and cleanliness Is her motto. She never thinas ot refusing awalk over the iields with ber husband or a pleasant afternoon ride to a mend's on business Hy so doing she feels fresher and belter to do tbe duties that perchance were left undone. She tries to make home with her bright presencethough (may be) storms ul sorrow may have swept overit, the place where each member of tbe family can turn and fuel there ia love, patience and guidance awaiting them Eveery child born into tbe woild has a right to a clean bill of health. It ha.s a tight to be well bom, to have a sound body, good blood and a tair degree of brain capacity. Many lives are doomed to perpetual and nopeless suffering because parents fail io itco£nize this high claim. An eminent medical authority states that if there were to be one-half the percentage of loss in calves and colts that we calmly looted up as "infant mortality" there would be legislative commissions and scientific investigation to know the reason and the remedy. Every child has a tight to a clean name. Many children are born under social conditions that effectually handicap them in the race ol life. No man has a right to crush upou his tender and helpless offspring who, unfortunately, cannot choose their own parentage, the burden of a diegraced name. An honorable name Is mom 1 health and commercial strength. CRANBROOK OPERA HOUSE ONE NIGHT ONLY Sat., Jan. 28. Return Visit of The London Bioscope Go. Better than ever.

Mr. Schack lias bil lhc nail squarely ou the head. The people of ilu United States naturally desire u keep this market open for their cheaper grades ol lumbei. Tbey are perfectly willing tu petition the Dominion parliament through then Canadian representatives iu refrain from placing un a duty that would keep American lumbei out of tliis country, Tbey tare nut whether British L.i lumbia's lumber industry languishes neither du tbey lone any sleep over the probable decline of llie farm iug industry of the Territories and .Manitoba so long as tbey cau keep ibe market open lo suppl) lumber lo ■ meet the demand of heavy immigration. But il the American lumber manufacturer is permitted to nave his way, the abseuco ui a market fi western producu will do mure to ma' tbe settlement ol the prairies of the Territories a dismal failure than all other elements combined. A few weeks ago George W. West a dealer in teed, meat and butter, o iuni.sfa.it, Alberta, was iu Cranbrook, and paid Ibe Herald unite a visit.

The American lumber bad closed down the mills oi British Columbia, had thrown hundreds or men out ol ploymeiit and had paralyzed the (luce trade oi ihe Territories. That is the wind.- situation, except that lho men who ,,re pi against a duty un lumber, aie today aud have been fur a long time ihe beneficiaries ol a tarW on tholr twi products. Evory buyer of pra.rl products in British Columbia pays tribute to tbe tariff on farm products as well as to the larill on every man ufactured article ihey iuircha.se. The lumber manufacturer of British ''o lumbia Is not asking for trust privileges; he is not asking for an oppor tuuity to raise the price of lumber; he simply asks that the market that is legitimately bis should not be taken by American manufacturers who enjoy advantages that make it possible for the lumber manufacturer uf British Columbia to compete with blm. The whole matter is simply a question of justice and business. And the man Iti the Territories or Manitoba who exerts himself to assist the American lumber manufacturer to keep open tbe Canadian market for EDITORIAL NOTES, The attempt to assassinate Mi Davys, a mine manager, by a unloi man at Silverton is an outrage and a blot on the fair name of British Columbia.

Predicting wiih much confidence a great future for Manitoba and ihe Northwest Territories of the Dominion, Sir.

We call tlit'iu iii'ws|ia|H.*r men, although some people engaged in the business Iovb to bo desipnatrd as journalists. Hul MOOfdlni to our views on ifaa question Hit'ip vas not a journulisi in lho bundi. A journalist would starve to death iu Western Canada, while the nowspapei men look like a lot oi prosperous Individuals who luxuriated in three meals a day snd clean beds SuIIice it to say that tbey went to Calgary lor the purpose of forming an up to date, live press association lor mutual benefit, .-.nd they succeeded. There were about -10 members of the emit present-, and the term cralt is used advisedly. They formed an association to be known as the Alberta Press Association. The Llritish Columbia and Assinaboia members made no objections to ihe name as both ol these divisions f-.ro so well known throughout the civilized world that the fact that ihey were left out ol tbe title of tbe association would cause no comment whatever and really make no differ ence. J. J. Young, proprietor,, manager, and the big It of the Calgary Her aid, was unanimously elected president of the new organization, and Colonel Porter, formerly ot Ken tucky, was selected as secretary without the semblance of opposition. The Colonel is one of the best all- around newspaper men in Canada today. Ile can write editorials, wilt telegraph, rush a column of hot local stuff, read proof; dash off heads that show spirit, and entertain three or lour visitors at the same time, and always wear the smile that never comes off. Years agowhenUic Old Man was an innocent cherub of a hov chasing news on the morning .Journal in Knnsa CtLj, Missouri, Colonel Porter was performing a like service for tlie morning Times in the same city. Wc knew each other in those days of slrenotis life, and that was 17 years ago. Tlie Colonel was then considered the star reporter of that star paper, and bis friends were legion. As years passed we drifted to other scenes and so did the Colo- I nel. Destiny and an uncontrollable desire to better onr condition drove jus hoth to Canada, and when wc j stepped into the editorial rooms of j the Herald Wednesday of last week ' we saw uur old friend again for the first lime in all these years. With Mm as secretary and Mr. Young rs president, the success of Ihe new association is assured The promoters of the association did a Rood stroke of business when thev, select oil Calgary as tbe I piece to organize the association. It is a great town. The sifchts of the place are Paddy Nolan, Hob Edwards and tlie city ball. Those who have not met either ot the gentlemen named have lived in vain. The Lord never created a better entertainer than Paddy Nolan. To talk with him an hour, or rather to sit still and let him do the talking, will cause any man to regret that he has never seen Ireland. As an after dinner speaker he is par excellence, and compared with him Ohjauneey Depew looks like a newspaper man's promise to pay a note of $1,000,000. It is said that for years when a man contemplated the act ol appropriating another man's steer or horse, he first retained the services of Paddy Nolan For many years there has not been a criminal case tried in lhc Northwest Territories that Mr. Nolan has not been retained on one side or the other. Hob Edwards is a modest individual who is engaged in editing a Sunday school publication known as the Eye Opener with the laudable ambition of bringing the recreant souls of Calgary to their milk. As to the city hall, our appreciation of the hospitality extended to the visitors by the people of Calgary, and Die kind words said by Mayor Emerson, renders us dumb on this subject, and causes us to refrain from making any comments on this wonderful specimen of architectural beauty. The treatment extended to tbe newspaper men is characteristic of Calgary, and shows how the right kind ol people can build up a metropolis on the windy prairies of Alberta. There, was nothing too good for any or us. Breakfast seemed to lie about the only monl that was not provided. There was a night at the theater as the guests of the Herald company under the jirolectlng wine; of Mr. Young, a business men's lunch with the mayor of tho town aud Chief Justice Rifton 'telling the visitors that they were the best ever, a banquet at night as the guests of Mr. Har.Iie, manager of the Toronto Type Foundry, of Winnipeg, when every pencil pusher had an opportunity to throw boquets at the publishing business, a trip to Banff as the guests of tho C, P.

Cranbrook has good reason to feel proud ol Its local talent. The program presented on January 25th, Burn's night, was mint enthusiatio- ally received by' a large audience. Mr. A. HcCowan Is a host In him- sell with bis pipes and step dancing" and the four "chips of the old block" are not a whit behind their "laith- cr." The Strathspey and reel, (.s M, 100,11(10; that secured In lliti.i was 15,8730.16, slightly over $500,000 loss than that ol the year just passed The silver product ol the province io 1004 was also in excess ol that of the year- previous. The stiver output ol 1904 was 118.200,000, which was 107,1 528 in excess ol the year 1903, when the amount ol silver taken from ilm llritish Columbia mines tontlnl 11,521,172. The copper produced 'ist year was slightly in excess n. mined in 1903. During 1904 the total output was (4,600,000. The lead presented by Charlie, Jessie, Lily j mined in 1901 was valued at $681), Douglas McCowan, was so heartily ,44. a total muc„ lcss tha„ that „ received that it had to be rendered a -la03. T„e coai al)j. cokc produced in second time at t'he close of the program. Mrs. Templeton is a splendid acquisition to our musical circles and made a decidedly favorable impression on this her lirst appearance before a Cranbrook audience. In addition to an elegant and pleasing stage presence she possesses a voice ol Une culture and flexibility. Mr. C. Darling is improving in liis readings, while Mrs, 'Brock captured the audience with her Scotch dialect. Instrumental music is generally received very placidly, but the encores accorded Miss Adolpbe and the Misses Lok and Ella Leilc-h indicated that they will be gladly heard from aguii. Mr. Sims is always a favorite, while Mr. Graves is making a unique place tor himself In Cranbrook as a comic singer. When the Indian clubs arc as well handled as they were by Mr. J. Sa- ville they make agood addition to. a program- Both Miss Adolphe and Mr. .1, Wright were pleasing accompanists. the province were valued at $4,332, 267, tho amount being the same i,i that mined in the year that preceded. The approximate statement of tin, mineral output lor the year 1904 is as follows: Gold-.

Cranbrool should hu the divisKiial toint .1, i;.i new road to Spokane. Craihri.i should have connection with the a-ir toad that is to be built up theKooii1 nay valley. Cranbrook should Io"n het claims as a distributing point But Cranbroo cannot do these things unless the people act together Individual eflort is weak indeed i.s compared with concerted action board of trade is the best mediu.ii for the accomplishment of good f.-r , any community.

The Herald re lieves that the men who are engage.! in coal mining should have, a wag" adequate to meel the labor performed and the danger incurred, but it trusts that the men will not act hastily in this matter. A general Strike at this time would prove disastrous to the country and to the men. Coal milling is not all profit by any mean- It lakes vast sums of money lo place a coal mine in a position lo In* able to pay dividends. And the capital th'W Invested is giving employment to thousands ol men throughout the wesi. a strike at this time would mean a hard blow to the mining i i- dustry and consequently to every other line of business in the western Country. That would mean ihat hundred- ol men in Alberta and British Columbia would he thrown oul ot employment and their families sulTei In consequence. There should be a way to arrive at a just sett lenient ot these questions without paralyzt it-, the industries of the countries. Il is up lo the men to move cautiously .1 there is any movement ol the k: .'I contemplated. THK ONTARIO ELECTION There are many explanations behg lor the political landslide in Ontarii. There is only one. and that is ihe scandals attached to the party in power. The Herald believes that Premier Boss is an honest man, but it also believes that he had around him a hunch of barnacles that were willing resort to any extreme measure lo win political success. The people of Ontario evidently thought so and demanded a, change. The* defeat of i! Liberals does not mean that the pr. pie are giving to the Conservatives an unconditional recommendation for political honesty, hut simply that by a change they hope that the Conserv atlVjOS, starting in with no entangle ments, may be able to give Ontario a government free from scandal. Tin- independent voter is the salvation of of any p rovinec or any country The same Independent voters that threw down the Liberal government at the recent, election, will do iht! same by tbe Conservative governiii" I ff Mr Whitney and his followers it not true to the confidence that !.v boei reposed in them by the neopli1 The sooner the people of Canada as t whole can realize that political Indo pendente is better for the cotintr; than political partisanship, that Hon e-t administration of public aflairs i beliei than crooked manipulation foi temporary party advancement, th. bbtttei It will he for everybody, , HERALD PUBLISHING COMPA LIMITED.

The Rev. Richard Powell, of Philadelphia has just invested over M,000,000 in New York high class apartment houses. He is credit.'.1 with being ihe wealthiest preacher in the United States, and does r.Ot seem to he losing any sleep over ihe bible story of the needle tbe camel and the rich man. It must be edifying to his congregation to hear ,iim speak of the sin of wealth accumulation. When a preacher gets^ to '.he point that lie is out all the time Liter the coin, it is pretty hard to convince the people that he is worrying over the salvation of their souls. There will be a great many thousand people go into Alberta during llie next two years and every one who goes in and every one who i.s inw there will he a customer of the British Columbia lumbermen. That is one of the reasons why British Columbia is bound to increase in prosperity. It, is said that Premier Ross, id Ontario, intends to retire from politics. That reminds us ot the miii who resigned his position after he had been fired. | Men who have been slaves since they have been nun, and generations before them foi ages, seldom have the nerve and courage to prolong a revolution.

The real leader of a party i the man who t.iW, the van in pre Seating Its future programme. 'Ir W. F. Maclean has lind the lirst ,«'un in the expected Conservative campaign fur ihe greater autonomy of Canada. He would appear.slightly amenable to the charge of wishing lo appear as not only the real but the ostensible leader. Mr. Borden, being Still without a scat in ihe house, ,ius been anticipated in a role that there is Rome reason to believe he mca.il lo create. It may be, however, thai lite editor acted as herald for tho lawyer. Al any rate Mr. Borden left wiih plenty of opportunity emphasize and bulk out the argument Iu the meantime Maclean's' hold stand is of high significance; There no denying his importance iu politics. Whal lie says today Tory Ontario is always pretty sine to have been saying secretly for many a day, and sure io he saying publicly tomorrow. In this case he has said'whivt Liberal Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Manitoba and llritish Columbh have been thinking on for a consider able time. Young Canada has long favored the completion of Ihe autonomy of the Dominion. II the Oppi sition follow Maclean in this busine. they will put themselves in line with one of the powerful sentiments of lb country. Possibly they hope to put Sir Wilfred in a cleft stick. He ' scarcely the man Io "get left" promoting the autonomy of Canada, At any rate nothing can take awnv from Mr. Maclean the credit and influence gained by assuming the van in a cause that may be popular in pr portion to the sanity with which may be presented. Mr. Maclean's words were: "When we speak of increased aut nomy for the Northwest I am minded that there is something to be said of the need of greater autonomy for the Dominion. The time has come when ihe bounds of our powers country should be widened. 1 am i.ot afraid of the future and ihe problem! it will present for snldlinii. 1 am no afraid to say Ihat Canada should In more autonomous than she is today I am not afraid to say thill the turn will come for the disappearance of ihe Govcrnor-Gdneral, when Canada will he an independent slate under Crown of Great Britain, and when ihe Parliament of Canada will malo the constitution of Canada, instead of that constitution being made .m the other side of Ihe water. 1 am not afraid to say that I hope to see iho day when our supreme court will he our court of final appeal. 1 am no: afraid to .say that I hope lo see the day when Canada will make her own commercial treaties under the Crown Questions like this should claim some of lho time ol the members of tli i.i House. Mention has been made iieru today of our Imperial relations, and I believe a propasal will he brought before Ihis House, dealing with thai subject. My ideas are somewhat different front some I see in the press. The trend of public thought, as I read the signs of the times, is in 'he direction of establishing a Brit 1*1 Empire made up nf free and independ ent states under the Crown ol Eng land, and working, not through i great Imperial council, but through negotiations between the government of these free and independent states/ These observations make allusion to motion oflered by Colonel Sam Hughes, a Tory not un progressive, He is so dissatisfied with the status ol Canada, perhaps her liability, to be dragged into wars without any voice iu either beginning or ending them, that he proposes a resotuttjn favoring Imperial federation. That is really in line with Maclean's views. Federation is an arrangement between equals. The electors of Canada in political Inferiority to those of Sonthwark and Tippernrv and Glai gnw so Inng as the Canadian Parliament Is subordinate to thai of West-' minster. There is i.n personal king of Cam da. The kingship here i.s in the London cabinet, a illafant, shifting, (cm- poiary body, unamenable lo Canadian advice in many matters Important to Canada, If the King has tt prerogative, his every subjccl has righis. One of them is to be ns neiir he Monarch politically ns any other subject of like degree, Thai Britons should lose iheir birthright, their political caste, Iheir Irue relation to their King, Iheir personal and direct subjection lo him nuly, bv having been born in or hy having removal to one of his oversea countries, is a •Jo..- trine that would have seemed monstrous to the United Empire Loyalist forefathers of Canada. Canadians can get hack into that relation when they obtain a position lo address and advise the King by represenia- tives of their own election. One band of Ihe race brotherhood has no sound claim to rule another. The band so subjected would he stihiecls of th.'ir fellow subjects. That is not good enough for men of The Blood.

A llritish country is wronged in status and liable to he wronged materially, when its representatives do not advise him in all its affairs, In order lo euler any federation under ihe common crown, Canadians need io get first into the same facilities for advising Uie Crown that is possessed by the Crown' lieges in Great Britain. Complete autonomy, i.e., independence under King Edward, seems the necessary preliminary to negotiations for Imperial fed- oratlon. Probabtv Mr. Maclean will meet Colonel Hughes motion by an expansion of these positions, It is curious io liiul Americans Inclined to smile at the notion that Ihe Crown is a democratic institution. British Liberals haw become newly aware, during the past thirty years, that an omnipotent Parliament, managing public affairs in the name «.f ■the Monarch, is of all political le- vlces the one best adapted to popu* .Iai government. In Canada there can he hut limited popular rule .until the Crown i.s counselled hy Canada only in all manner of Canadian affairs. Such considerations would iot count tor one Iota if there were '.ot good practical reasons hack of Mr. Maclean's desire for the completion autonomy in Canada.. That the ')u-j minion Parliament should bavu uid should exercise the treaty-making power is patent. The country needs pcrlect freedom to use its own head in promoting commerce wiih fellow- subjects, neighbors, the whole round world. That iis legal business interests suffer from subjection to Ihe judicial committee of the British Privy Council, is main'; I tied with greit. force by Mr, Donald McMastcr, K.C., of Montreal, one oi the most stem stern and unbending Tories in the country. That its defensive forcus cannot he developed properly until the sullied ion of the Canadian forces to Loudon rule shall have ceased theoretically as well as practically, appears evident.' What people, free to choose, will maintain more than a ■shadowy army and navy so long as it i may be possible for an authority i quite external to abrogate their liberties, and to try to employ abroad j or even against themselves the forces ! they may maintain? I Il Is ol importance to Great Britain, as well as lo Canada, that the I defensive 'system of this country should he reasonably and liberally le-1 veloped, The publicists of England are always saying so. But the profound and reasonable distrust whieh mow or less consciously resides in a people not perfectly free or autniii.- moiis, prevents the desirable evolution, .lust so in Australia, and lhc other so-called self-governing countries nf the empire. They seem im- likelv in sirenglben their power according Jo their geographical nn.l political situation until Ihe responsibilities of compli te freedom are give?) to them, and they brought to on equality with Old Home Britons under the common Crown, What a Monarch, what an .Empire might the world then see, ami rejoice to behold nt least, the commercial, liheriy-loviiig, non-predatory world.

It would he more true to say that Canadian water cannot compete against foreign cash and proeressiveness. A singular thing about this agitation for higher duties is that it is practically directed against the British preference, and hy the very same men who keep up llie shout for "imperial preferential trade." The woollen men got the net duty laised against Great Britain imm 2a 1-3 percent to 30 per cent, while the duties upon goods from other countries were not changed. Neither will the cotton men get any change made in the United Statts or German duties, and iheir only hope is to get Ihe British preference diminished, In the case of woolle-iS however, an influential body of traders 1ms shown ihe government how unjust and absurd in many cases has been the effect of their concessions to the manufacturers. It is to he hoped a consideration of all clrcumstancas in the ease of the cotton companies will convini'c the government that ihe protection thev nuw receive is adequate.
