Published Every Friday by The Post Publishing Company A weekly Journal devoted to the interests of Abbotsford and district Adverlisiins rates made known on application Our, Shibboleth���������Neither for nor agin' the 'Government - . Pines are believed to live the longest of all trees, some having attained more than 700 years. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 15115 In reading the meeting of the Sumas council published elsewhere in this paper all we believe will come to the conclusion that the council came to a wise decision to not take immediate steps to reduce the taxes, thus the wages of the men who work on the roads, and probably lower the standard of the roads of Sumas municipality. ^During the. past five years the roads of the municipality have all improved to a standard that makes them rank , with the roads in an older province. After a continuous residence in the West of nearly a quarter of a-century, the editor of this paper visited Ontario last summer, and of course drove over some of the roads of various counties in the western Ontario peninsula���������roads driven over in boyhood and later and saw the condition of the,roads in,, June anclJulyi two of the best months of the year for the roads to be in good shape. Since the visit the editor is proud ,to say that in his ' humble opinion, and he thinks he knows a ' well built piece of road when he sees it, the roads in Sumas municipality do not take se- ond place to those in Western Ontario. After -travelling over miles of main roads, there were none to compare with the main artery of Sumas���������the Yale road; and the side roads are every bit as good as the side roads in the older settled country. The Post is proud of the roads of the Fraser Valley,, including the roads of Sumas Municipality. These are indeed hard times for the : raising of taxes for road building, but it will soon be over we all rhope, keeping this in mind then let us not fail to do our part in maintaining the.present high standard of the roads of our Valley. A reduction in taxes is . a sure foreruner of less work /being done on the roads, and lower' wages, all are human, will probably mean, not "such./a; good ;day's work. As they say let us "See; this thing through" and carry on our share, of the "Business as Usual" In his eondemnation^of^Rrfssia'as^a land of tryranny says the Victoria Colonist. -Mr.' Place, M. P. P., for Nanairao, undoubtdly expressed what is in the minds of a great many people, and yet we venture to say that he and other Socialists would find things more to their liking in Russia than in any other part of the world, provided they were content to leave out of their consideration;.-what we may for ^convenience call the field of-.higher- politics. Perhaps we ought to define what we mean by this. The national form of. government ���������in Russia is autocratic. It is an autocracy ���������which determines the foreign policy of the country and the larger question of domesic "administration. Autocratic power was vested in the Czar by the nobles at a time when the country was in a state of transition and weakened by. internal disorders. It may be of interest .to state that until the time of Peter the Great the Crown of the' Czar passed from one of its wearers to anther only by pupular vote, as that term w.as .at that time understood in' Russia. Even Peer did not claim that the crown passed by right of descent but only that a Czar had authority to name his successor. At the time Western Europe, was endeavoring to shake itself clear of feudalism. Russia, in part at least, enjoyed democratic institutions. The republic of Novgorod was of unknown antiquity; the princes of Keiv, Sousdal, Moscow and other jurisdictions, although invariably chosen from the princely family of the Varangians, were elected. The necessity of driving out the Mongols compelled the several princes to consolidate their interests and led to the ascendency of one of them, andby imperceptible degrees his power increased until it was nominally supreme, when by the request of his co-rulers the Prince of Muscovy proclaimed himself Czar. The Russian aristocracy is descended for tiie most part from the ancient families and there is no-doubt that they look upon themselves as far apart from the;;merchant, artisan and peasant classes, and this is and always has been recognized by the mass of the Russian people since the days of Rurik and his'-brothers, which was more than a thousand years ago. The system of aristocratic government prevailing in Russia has unquestionably been oppressive in many cases, and terrible wrongs have been perpetrated under it. But thse things do not perceptibly touch '.he lives of the great majority of Russia's millions. The rank and file of the people of this great empire live, under conditions that can be generally described as communal. In no other part of the world do guilds flourish as in Russia. In no other part is the ,The Keil Canal is 61 miles long���������- a little longer than the Panama Canal. It originally cost ������7,500,000, but was recently recoustructed at a cost .of ������11,000,000. communal occupancy of land more. general'.' Millions of people there live under conditions which the advocates of the system of single,tax regard as ideal, for no man is allowed to occupy, more land than he requires to support himself and,his family. Of these land owners, tiie merchant and artisans, only a very few concern themselves in any degree whatever with the political life of the nation. The rest are content to live under conditions, ..which Socialists, at least,, would regard, as nearly ideal, and which are perhaps as nearly so as could be looked for in a nation, where education is not general. They are content to cultivate the/ soil' or. carry on their, business, raise large families and live devoutly and .simply. Their attitude to other things is expressed in tke saying. "God is in Heaven and the Czar is far away.'.' The Cossacks are not included in the above observations. The very essence of their existence is freedom. Tlieir conception of what freedom ought to secure for them may not be our conception, butthey live their own lives as we live ours.. Apparently they are more content with theirs than we.are with ours. A Cossack would hardly understand what Mr. Place was driving at when he spoke of Russia as a land of tyranny. '��������� We have mentioned the lack of general education in Russia; but it is not to be understood that this is because of any desire on the part of the Czar to keep the people iii ignorance. No rulers in the world have ; done anything like as much to encourage education as have the Czars during the past three centuries. But we must remember that the Russian'renaisence is only two centuries old. It was only in the reign of. Peter the Great that the empire emerged from the status of an Orienal nation and set its feet upon the paths of Occidental civilization. We must also remember that for the greater part of this period the mass of the rural population were serfs. It was in 1861 that the Czar abolished serfdom, indemnified the landed pro-, prietors and declared each village community to be the owner of its land. . This measure had been in contemplation for some time before it was proclaimed Education is making progress, slow of course, for the habits and' ideas of millions cannot be changed in a generation: In her communal system, in (the operations of her guilds, in the wonderful development of her literature in her effort to restore by way of, the Duma the powers, of the ancient democracy, ,in .the simplicity of, her rural life and in her .boundless resources,": Russia possesses the basi upqn:\whichT;a wonderful superstructure can be reared... We must not let ourselves be misled as .to the character of a nation, because such monsters of cruelty sis Ivan the'Terrible, and the Empress Catherine, have ruled the" land. We must not judge of Russia' by the tyrannies practiced by an aris- tocracy fearful for its own privileges. We must'hot "be in haste to conclude that the terrors of Siberian exile are so much worse than, imprisonment in Western Europe was before John Howard, in 1773, began his great work for prison reform.. As citizens of the world, and we all claim to be that, and especially do our Socialist friends claim it, we ought to learn to look upon Russia as she really, is, as a country of immeasurable possibilities, which is building her future upon a-solid foundation, consisting of a profound faith in religion and, in her social life, the basic principles of democracy. , The Cossacks, whose name has gone abroad as signifying all that is cruel;-only ask one question of a" man who seeks to join their ranks. . It is: "Do you be lieve in Christ?" If the answer is in the affirmative he is told to pitch his tent or occupy any house, that may be vacant. The Cossacks are terrible 'in battle, but one of their cardinal principles is respect for.women and children. The \ideas of most of us concerning them have been based upon the reports given out about them by those whom they have overcome in battle. The remainder of the Russian people look to the Czar as .their spiritual head, ana a e devout to a degree that would be unthinkable in a Canadian community. They seem likely to emerge from this war fitted for a career of progress in which spiritual thoughts, will play a prominent part.���������Ex.- <��������� (From Fraser Valley Record) The movement set on foot on Saturday last by the action of the Mission Council on the letter of Reeve Lougheed of Maple Ridge should be the beginning of great development on the north banks of the Fraser River, resulting in better trasportation facilities, and the greatest impetus in the "Back to the Land" movement in the Fraser Valley yet received by that movement in any part of the province.

J, HENDERSON & SONS PROPRIETORS A FEW INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT K ATS IE INDIANS Chief Joe Isaacs, Hand are a 'Progressive Hunch Who Appreciate The Value of Education. An Indian Concert at the Hammond Reserve. Kataie' Indians are of the Salish tribe which with the tribe known, as the' Shuswaps, have long inhabited the Fraser Valley. At Hammond the Katsie band occupy a reservation of over tiiree hundred acres.1 There arc sixteen families/' In tho fishing season they fish for the Fraser-River canneries, in the winter their homes, gardens, cattle and horses claim their earnest attention. Their chief is well known. Chief Joe Isaacs his name, he is an Indian'of the oldest and best type. ln; the words of. one at the reservation'he Is "as wise as a serpent and ''gentle as a dove" Through his uplifting inlluences the band is wisely "directed along progressive channels. At Katsios, education' is" aiv important' feature of the daily life.,Thanks" largely to the good offices of Indian Agent Peter Byrne, of New 'Westminster,' a school for Indians was started- in September last when twenty pupils were enrolled The attendance, usually the greatest stumbling 'block' to the education of the Indian children, has been very satisfactory;. ���������. .Considerable progress has been.'made,.under the able tuition of Principal J? J.-Murphy so encouraging, in fact-it is hoped that the Dominion.government.will soon build a ' permanent, school in . place of the temporary : one .now in: use. Such good progress have some of the pupils made it is also- probable that in the early future they will be seen as candidates at the .local High School, entrance examinations. , In' an interesting newsy letter to tiie .Review,. Principal Murphy informs how the/'Epipany" or "Three Kings Day." was. celebrated - a few weeks ago with a concert. A welcome visitor on.the occasion was the .Rev. Fr. "Cherous, 0. M. I.' missionary priest to Indians of the Fraser Valley, who is a guide, philosopher and friend to,fthe local Indians. Items" rendered'at this-'concert included a "masterly duet, guitar, and violin, by Messrs ;F.- Johnson and W: August.

Mr. -Murphy, who is gifted with a: sly and cunning vein of humor, next, tells how . "Joboys" August, a toddler of three years, who acted.a small part," nearly fell onto the footlights when he was gazing upwards in silent communion with ���������some"of the Indian juveniles who, intent.on ".not-missing any of. the show were perched' on- Ui"e> rafters of the, roof. :-Th9 ���������minstrel" troupe did fine work; Simon.-Pierre" proving a star artiste,'in the-.'laughter producing line;' Much-of the credit for the en- terinment is-due to Mr. W.
