Seeing, too, that the cabinet are j simply looking after routine mat- j ters, and are filling no positions, it is hardly likely the man higher j up will force the hand of an old j friends like Mr. Bowser iratii the latter shows a tendency to ton long postpone his exit. Another point that tends to confirm and strengthen the belief that Mr. Bowser will stay the limit is that in the Sloean and Esquimalt constituencies, for instance, the candidates at present in the lead are in front by a matter of one or two votes respectively. In case of a recount and a casting vote being necessary to break a tie such casting vote will be made by the provincial secretary, we are told. Were the new government in power the provincial secretary would be of Liberal persuasion and, naturally, would pronounce in favor of the Liberal candidate. If Mr. Bowser is stiil on the job the casting vote would be in favor of the Tory nominee. Thus it will be seen that from the standpoint of practical politics it will be good business for the present government to remain in harness���������and nobody as yet has ever acoused Mr. Bowser of being impractical in things political. mmBm-.Smm~m ff���������������#5-0^' S?g$gBl)M*.ll>)>.������ .IiJ.ii.K. these parts.

But lack of opportunity for one's productiye energies would' be out bf the question until the community^ state or nation had reached a point where no more improvement for the creation of wealth and comfort for mankind Was required. It must also be understood that the state or :;atio*a must, take supvecac control of commerce inasmuch as most of it would be financed direct by the state or nation, and naturally all commerce would come under the supervision of the council of Automatic Adjuster for production and distribution in all lines of industry, and thereby prevent gambling in any commodities to stimulate unnatural fluctuation in prices of same. To argue that the state or nation would be incompetent to handle such a vast and complicated organization would be equal to the accusation that^ the men who are now handling the affairs of our state or nation would deteriorate and become incompetent to do for the state what tbey are now competent and capable to perform for tht corporations. These men under the. new order of things would become available foi* the state or nation. You would ask, what of tbe private capital invested in banking and other industries? To this we would reply that what wea'th a citizen has legally created and possesses he is entitled Ui have and hold, when not in natural resources, which it will be optional for the state or nation to exchange foi- promptly j units of wealth. This wealth or its commodity units he can, if he desires, make use of for production in competition with government-financed industries, .bnt this wealth or units of wealth can no longer increase'-.or. multiply itself by . the process of interest. Bent must be legalized t*> cover wear &nd tear, on the same basis as the government must be refunded the finance provided Tor the creation of ^wealth and comfort within the life or usefulness of such creation. We must not contend that under this new order of social evolution all human units will be equal in value and usefiduest. any more thai* we. contend that all cows are equal in value aud usefulness. Some cows are high-priced at $50, others are cheap at $1000 per head; So with human units, Some are born and bred to be leaders, others are born and bred to be led, but sever the connection between the two and both will become equally helpless. You will ask, what of the independent liberty of a citizen to choose the vocation most congenial to him ?

Wearing Down the Enemy By the Military Correspondent of the London Times Wc have perfect confidence here that the Russian northern and western armies will continue their pressure so long as the present campaigning seasQri lasts. We in thc west shall do The same, if for no better reason than because we are all under a mutual and explicit obligation to continue, and because, though we have some dissappointmenls, the grinding effect of the general offensive, which has caused onr enemies casualties amounting to 800,000 men since June 4, will have a crippling effect upon the man-power of the. enemy and will end by abating his pride. We must look neither to thc right nor to the left, but only straight in front of us to thc end, and we must steel our hearts against all impressions, emotions and suggestions which incline us lo weakness in one or another form. This wearing down of the enemy's man-power has gone very far, but it must go farther yet to affect his resolution and exhaust him. Our duty is, during the two or three months of good campaigning season which remains to us this year, to fight on and fight ceaselessly, on all fronts and all together, until the spirit of Prussia and her dupes is humbled to the dust. Thc cessation of any one of our attacks, so long as the weather and munitions hold, is a crime against thc common cause, ahd if we case down a little in the coming winter it must only bc with the firm intention of renewing thc campaign at thc first favorable moment iu 1917 with increased armaments and with still more relentless vigor. cine yourself ask your neighbors and they will tell you of some sufferer who has been restored to health and strength through using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. One who. has always a good word to say for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is Mrs. Luther Smith, of West Hill, Ont., who writes: "I feel it a duty as well as a pleasure to tell you what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done for me. I had an operation for tumors. The operation in itself was quite successful, but I was so badly run down and anaemic that I did not g������in strength, and thc incision did not heal, and kept discharging for nearly a year, until I weighed only eighty-six pounds and could scarcely walk across the floor. I had got so "sick of doctors' medicine that I would vomit when I tried to take it. A good friend urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, so I bought a box. Before they were gone I thought I could feel a difference, and I got a further supply. By the time I had taken five boxes the wound ceased discharging and commenced to heal. I took in all thirteen boxes and am today enjoying the best health of my life and weigh 140 pounds. I sincerely hope anyone suffering as I did will give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills n fair trial, and I feel sure they will not bc disappointed." You can get these pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from Thc Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- villc, Ont. cast bullets and loaded the muskets that the men fired through the chinks of the log house at the Indians. -���������* From thc N.

People are realizing that Germany I The choice took interminable days has deliberately signed her own de cree of outlawry from among civilized nations. In Paris nowadays one hears very little of the folly involved in attempts to whitewash the German people at the expense of the German Emperor. Accounts of the horrors perpetrated at Lisle and elsewhere show that German soldiers have gladly.associated themselves as partners in the crimes, and the French public agree thoroughly with the eloquent protest that has been made by M. Briand's orders. M. Briarrd has shown the gross illegality of the German action, and. has appealed to neutral feelings of justice "and humanity. * . He is able to claim that the French Goverrrmcnt are in possession of satisfactory proofs of the accuracy of the allegations made against the Germans, and he invites^ neutrals to an independent verification of the outrages committed. ..-"' One "of .the'towns which is suffering most from this new form of German atrocity is Lille ��������� sometimes known as the Manchester of France, but a more beautiful Manchester. The Bishop of Lille has addressed an eloquent protest in the name of religion to the German general in command of the town, but protests of any sentatives from other Alberta munici palities jand boards of trade, of the Canadian Pacific Railway, thc mortgage and> loan companies and the banking interests. During the winter of 1914-15, the Dominion Government advanced some $14,000,000 for seed grain and also for hay, groceries and other supplies for settlers, secured by one- year lien notes, which were made a first charge upon the land seeded or and that is rapidly growing. Wheat has built thousands of miles of railway lines through the western wilderness. It has dotted the country with three thousand elevators. It is collected by these elevators "from bag on the car door; The car sealer follows, reseals the car, collects the sample bags and takes them to the government office in the railway yard. The numbers of the tickets are there checked with the sheets; made out from- the waybills, " by the government; clerk, and the samples and sheets are then sent to the inspection office. Gr-3-in is graded according to its ���������quality (soundness, color, weight, etc.), condition (moisture and heat), and admixture (weeds, dirt, etc.).

The Frenchwoman describes how an officer pass'ed through tire Fives Quarter, pointing to the victims he chose, who were then led to church or school, and thence to the station. During the following day thc pitiful flock was taken away, whither or for what work no one knew*, but crying "Vive la France!" and singing the "'Marseillaise/*' \ , The Mairic took fire, and by the light of thc flames the domiciliary visits ��������� recommenced. From 1,500 to 2,000, many of them girls of seven- ��������� teeivjrears, were taken away daily. The concentration camps^ resembled slave markets. For a week this Calvary continued, thc children weeping and their nurses offering to go in place of them. We have seen one of Germany's measures of humanity (writes a mother in bitter irony). It consists in dividing families, in taking a girl here, another there, a father, or in leaving alone one or two octogenarians in order to.allow the so-called voluntarily evacuated people to revic- tual themselves and' to lead a more normal life by planting potatoes. Nothing has shocked me more than this infamous act, which is criminal in consequences and possibilities, and has been accomplished, it is alleged, hundreds of thousands of farmers,'ken to secure fair and just grading. carried from there by branch lines to When the inspection is finished the samples and tickets are stored to be retained as long as they may be needled. The inspector does not know who owns thc grain. He grades from the sample only, and when he has finished, his notations are handed to the clerical department, in which full records are made and. thc certificates issued.
