C-, March 2otli, 191.1 EDITORIAL NOTES Thoro Ih a good deal of "rot" talked about imlitirs and politicians, and tin* terrible temptations and dangers of tlie life of a politician. Hon. W. S. Fielding and Sir John Thompson could huve made millions when iu offlce. And yet no clergyman or college professor has won a more honorable or stainless nnmo than these two men. And then are hundreds of other Canadians who could be named who might have made fortunes In tlieir political offices, but who never made a cent in a dishonorable way. Some of the ablest and most honorable of our puhlic men today are poor men and there would be very little hope for our country if the views of a certain few were well founded and the poor man should keep out of political life because of its temptations. The man who enters politics ready to plunder the country as soon as elect- ed to office is a common thief and ; should be behind prison walls Instead of representing tho people. TO THE RATEPAYERS:— We have consented to allow our names to go before the people and respectfully solicit your support for Aldermen for the City of Cranbrook. We rely on our platform of economy and safe, sane, business government as the most necessary requisite for the conduct of muncl- pal affairs this year. We are tied to no policy except our own best individual judgment in conserving the best interests of the city as a whole. We realize that only by the strictest retrenchment can the city cope with the present financial situation and it will be our aim to save the ratepayers money and keep the tax rate as low as possible. If elected, we will give our time and attention to the city's business and will endeavor to see that the city"s interests are in every way carefully safeguarded. A. J. BALMENT (J. ERICKSON T. H.

While I have no complaint to put forth at this time against past systems or government of civic affairs ,1 do contend that a great deal towards the success and building up of our city depends greatly on the council and whatever council be elected requires the harmonious cooperation of the general citizen and ratepayer, and I further contend that one of the most essential things is the support and protection of the business The reason for this failure to re- I move the dust while it was removable I man and his interests towards the ties. ployecs In this district could serve the public ns well under Liberal rule as Conservative. They havo their minds on their jobs and they do not persistently stick tlieir noses into other people's business. On the other hand we are possessed of a few civil servants who are conspicuous because of the prominent part they try to play In politics. At the recent Conservative nominating convention au immigtatton inspector in full uniform not only participated but addressed tlie meeting. One other government employer* assisted In getting delegates to attend and two men with government jobs are running their legs off night and day for the local candidate. Another local government employee abuses any Conservatl ve whom he (inds giving work to tlie Herald. Ho has persistently done this and some of these days we will publish his name with full details. These are the kind of public officials that are not only bringing the Conservative party into disrepute, but are making nf British Columbia a by-word In the outside world as a hide-bound political autocracy ruled by politicians for the good of politicians only. Good government and British Columbia are not synonymous these days. It was Abraham Lincoln, the sage of American politics, who said, "Yon can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time." Sir Itichard McBride. our astute premier, would do well to -study the above saying. He has footed all of British Columbia some times by catch phrases such as "A White British Columbia," etc., und he has successfully fooled some of the people for the past twelve years but —by hand—Is not apparent to the ordinary citizen. When he ls caught ln a cloud of dust, his throat filled with Here is an opportunity for candi-1 microbes and his clothing turned an- lates for alderman lc honors.

Sir Richard's govern- , ment has Its faults and has Its weak points; It has made some blunders and Ib cordially hated by a bunch of would-be spoilers, The fact, however, remains that the opposition has only so far developed a bunch of nincompoops for leaders." It ls to be hoped that the Kootenalan did not wish to be taken seriously when giving publicity to tho foregoing. If It really wus ln earnest the Liberals should bu delighted to have our contemporary continue the good work. Tho late Sir John A. Macdonald Is authority for the statement that thero Is nothing so uncertain as a horse race or a general election—-and he might truthfully have added to the latter clause, particularly In hard times. It Is too Boon ufter 1911 for the electors to have forgotten the oft-repeated assertion of tlio federal Liberals that there was no cabinet material among the followers of It. L. Borden; yet the people of Canada returned him and his party to power with a majority almost as large as tho Liberals had prior to tho appeal to the people. In Ontario in 1905 a similar cry was heard concerning the Conservatives, then headed by thc late Sir James P. Whitney, but when the returns were i atl In at the general election ln Janu- j ary of that year It showed the Boss government swept out of office and Sir James In control of the legislature by a vote of almost four to one.

If he s big enough nnd serious enough and frank enough he has thc opportunity of his life time. The fact of the matter is the taxpayer of Cranhrook want a man and they want him now and they want hlm badly to deal with the dust nuisance. We want a man to deal with the dust nuisance while we have the duct nuls- niee with us in all ito glory, In all Its loath dealing glory. We have another uulsance, but lt only comes to town once In a while, and as luck wlll have it, blows off In a public meeting and seldom raises much dust. Let us return to the dust nuisance. We have the dust nuisance tackled now. A few years ago one of the aldermen of the corporation Introduced the subject of oil sprinkling tho main streets of the city, but he was treated as a Joke. The sentiment of its affairs the needed attention that at least a portion of the elected body can spend four or five hours daily in the office in promoting and directing further industries towards the upbuilding of their city. I hereby announce my candidacy for Alderman for the City of Cranbrook and solicit the support of my friends, voters and ratepayers, and if elected will do my utmost in directing my ability and attention to Bride government wlll be returned but no sweeping victory Is anticipated, and It Is well that It should be so: It is not good for any government to be without a lively opposition. Toronto Saturday Night, possibly the. strongest Independent weekly paper In all Canada, on more than one occasion remarked that "You can throw a brick through any country law ofllce window and hit a smarter man than J. P. Whitney." Yet the lato James turned out to be one of the best all- round premiers Ontario has ever known. W. S. SANTO. MYATIOH AaHMT affair In hand and compels an onslaught on the dust. This does not seem like a very hard proposition. The streets are supposed to be cleaned up once a year anyway. Why not do lt now? There are men who would be glad to get to work. And the work would do them a lot ot good now. Why wait until the summer months, when work Is more plentiful and the laborer not so hard pinched. A few years ago the Herald drew attention to this evil. At that time people said we were "getting toney." and other pleasant things. It was generally conceded, however, that wc were right, but the excuse given was that there was no money available and would not be until the new estimates were passed. If this excuse stands toduy we sec an excellent opportunity he people has entirely changed today for some enterprising and abbltlous md we believe this could be made a young man. That excuse should not his latest stunt hus caused some of Illvo isKU0 in t,lc romhiK city election, be allowed to live ono hour. them to sit up und take notice. W have been told that there Is going to be an election ln British Columbia. This followed previous assertions that there would be no election. The date was set for April loth. It was postponed, a new departure in Canadian elections. Every day the papers said that the date would be announced shortly. Now Sir Itichard Is going to Chicago and Ottawa, probably to borrow election funds and arrange for higher power to hetp hlm fool thc people and keep hold of the treasury funds. The election may b< announced on his return nnd It may not. Sir Itichard has surely outdone himself In fooling the people this time. They like tn be kept guessing | by our Dick.

It Is blowing the dust into the stores, dry :oods stores, grocery stores, provi sion stores, drug stores and every other kind of stores, and the dust is I'ven tucking Itself away In the bed clothing.
