Already prominent Democrats have stated that in ordoi to cheapen living in the United States a lowering of the tariff is inevitable. Even the Hearst papers are, turning orr Taft and ���������joining in-the'-'general condemnation of. him and blaming him for failure, to . effect a revision of the tariff downward arid take off the duties on many, of the necessities for the working classes. The Democrats are more strongly pledged to this course, arrd since the action -of Canada, 'they are more pronounced in their- determination in that direction. Taft has apparently shot his bolt and the ''Democrats who are now in control of the House of Representatives are. practically sure of electing the. next president. A Washington despatch' to the Toronto Globe states that the defeat of reciprocity means a redoubled effort on the part of the Democratic, party and the insurgent republicans, who together control-Congress, to.-bring- about a general-reduction of the'tariff. ���������Reference is made to President Taft's expressed hope irr presenting reciprocity to Congress, that reciprocity;' would reduce the cost of living in the Republic.

Sonre of them lay it at Taft's door and others would make a scapegoat of- Champ Clark. The latter is rr"t prepared to take more than his share of it and thinks Taft sinned worse than he did.

U1C1TTKK July loth. 1911. 30-10 poor, and the silly dupes never stopped to consider that while Camilla's tariff wall is'only 35 per cent, thrrt of the United States is 75 per cent. Canada is therefore not responsible for.any,of the. ills suffered by the poor of the United States. If high protection is the cause of their ills they should look to that trrritt' wall of their own and never mind Canada's end of it. How the fairer papers look at it may be seen in tire following The New York Evening Post, for example, remarks that another- thing writ largo in the Canadian elections "js the final collapse of the Republican pretence that the exactions rind in jus tices of a protective tariff can be tempered by reciprocity. For years we have had this preached to us ,f * Somehow reciprocity was to be a kind of salve to put on the high tariff bruise. But in this supreme test of that theory rt has failed utterly. The country now sees that in the mingling of outrageous tariff taxes with reciprocity what we finally get is iro reciprocity and only an acceleration of the outrage." Even if reciprocity had been acceptable on other grounds,, the decision of the Canadian people, in support of the principle of non-intervention in United States internal politics, is in all respects to be commended. The Rochester, N. Y., Union arrd Advertiser says that "having cannrrit- ted himself wholly to the standpnt tariff policy, it is.7.clear that President Taft has utterly failed to make his administration meet the crying need of the time, the need of relief from the heavv burden of the cost of living. Reciprocity with Canada -would-not have met the demands of the country in this respect, but it would have helped and it would have, encouraged the hope of better things to conre. With reciprocity laid in the dust, there is nothing to expect from the Republican party." This of course,.again confirms the view that the president sought through reciprocity to offer a palliative, not a remedy, for the nigh tariff imposed by the Republican party, which averages 75 per cent, against the Canadian averageof 35 per cent. Judged by United States standards, Canada's tariff is moderate. By rejecting the reciprocity pact the Canadian people retain their exclusive and uncontrolled right to adapt the national policy to suit themselves. Columbian Irr the overshadowing interest of the election contest, the people of British Columbia have lost touch with the harvesting progress in the prairie wheat country, It is pleasing to state tlrat in spite, of late frosts and other injurious elements the quantity, if not the quality, will be up to the present harvest expectations. The Winnipeg Commercial, one of the most careful authorities on crop production inthe West now looks for a total wheat output of 180,000,000 bushels in the three provinces,. The grade will be, it predicts, No. 2 and No. 3 norther rr, al though there-has been a considerable percentage of No. 1 northern in-th'i inspections' up to September 10. The indications are that prices will be high and with this there will be arr enormous amount of money placed in cir dilation. The prairies prosperous, British Columbia will find good times continuing since in this, in many respects, newer land the prairie farmer and the successful prairie business rrrarr seek investments or opportunities, for profit able enterprise, while the more congenial climate.'will always draw papulation and with it capital from the Northwest.

George Burnell was driving in with a load of hay and in going down a hill the'brake gave out and the load was.precipitated orr the horses.

WE TOLD YOU SO Canada to be Given the Large Market 1 While Holding Her Own What HIS ADMIRATION of British Laurier Thinks ��������� Diplomacy " Soirre of tho Liberal papers which are so fulsome in tlreir praise of Laurier's imperialism and are so cocksure of liis love of Britain and British institutions should try to in form themselves a little more fully of his public expressions orr that score and they will see whether his pet phrases in Britain and before Ontario audiences wheir after their votes, will square up with bis sentiments, at other times when he thinks that a. little capital can berrrade by taking the other tack. Here is arr opinion of British diplomacy which is directly "opposite to that expressed in his hearing by A. B. Aylesworth on the floor- of the House. In speaking at a banquet given by the Canadian Manufacturers' Association he is reported by the Toronto Globe in 1907 as having said: "We take the record of tlie diplomats of Great Britain in so far as Canada is concerned arrd there is a record of a repetition of the sacrifice of Canadian interests. We have suffered oh the Atlantic; we have suffered on the Pacific; we have suffered on the Great Lakes; we have suffered wherever there has.been a question, discussed between British diplomats and foreign diplomats, and wo have come at last to the opinion on tlris( point" that in our -relations with foreign countries it will be better to atterrd to our business ourselves."

The most vigorous campaign against forest fires ever waged by the Provincial Government is drawing to a close, and within the next few weeks full reports will be presented by the divisional superintendents <>f Lhe fire protection areas. "���������We have had practically every timbered district of the province patrolled,'' Mr-, W. C. Gladwin, super- vistor of the department, said. "A most thorough system of patrolling was instituted at the commencement of the past summer. Over 125 men were employed, and, viewed from the protection point of view, the efforts of the. government have been crowned with success. Many dangerous fires have been, if I may be permitted to use tin; phrase, nipped in the bud, and there can be no doubt that the system of patroling adopted has saved, much valuable timber, September, however, is often a red letter month for'forest fires, arrd all patrols, especially in the interior, are still exercising the greatest vigilance."

Should Asquitb again practice the same obstinacy and go to the country on Home Rule as im issue be will do Canada and the empire an injustice by side-tracking tariff' reform and imperial preference. The untrammelled voice of the people can never be obtained in either Great Britain or Canada by submitting a question where the life of an administration is involved in the result, for then party .prejudice., will dominate. A referendum and not a pretence of one, is what the people should have, arrd they should be sat isfied with nothing short of it. ."' REFERENDUMS The referendum bids fair to become a factor in the British constitution and in-those'.of her self-governing colonies. Two great .questhins' are. at the present moment about to be submitted to the people before legislative action is . taken. These are the the Irish Home 7 Rule question in Britain and the naval question in Canada, although it is more likely that the form in which Home Rule may be. submitted to the electors will-not be a straight referendum lint.-is an issue in a general election, which irr a. great, measure tends to nullify the real spirit of the. referendum and defeat the object aimed at. The real spirit underlying representative government is the people's will and no gov!-'ri)iii;;nt under the Biitish conslii-itioii should arrogate to itself the'right to legislate on vital questions without a mandate from the people. Citizens of Canada, have never yet had air opportunity to express their wishes in reference to Canada's obligation towards maintenance of the empire's naval strength, and if Premier Borden should decide to srive the country arr opportunity to speak before be commits it to airy naval programme, he will prove himself a safe constitutional ruler and worthy the confidence the people have placed in hinr. The referendum will always be an object of mistrust to an autocrat, arrd it is a significant fact that of late year's, both in Britain and in Canada, it has'been' the Liberal leaders and the Liberal party who have said ������by their actions that they could not trust the people. Laurier for instance would rrot allow the people of Canada to give him any advice on matters so important us the building of the Grand Trunk Pacific, the choice of a constitution for the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan; the important matter* of our relations to the empire irr maintenance of the navy, or the complete overturn of our fiscal system by the attempt to force through reciprocity without submitting it to the people; arrd in Britain Ave witnessed the tyrannical usurpation of power by Asquith who refused Balfour's proposition for a referendum on the veto atrd would force through measures that involved subversion of the constitution in reference to the House of Lords. In the recent election some Liberal speakers and writers claimed that the election was a referendum on reciprocity, but it was no such thing, for the life of an administration was involved in the result. Doubtless they are wishing now that it had been what they pretended it was equivalent to, A NEEDLESS APOLOGY ...; We cannot agree with the sentiments of our- Princeton contemporary in its article on the result of the .election, and Aye, think than when its editor calmly and honsstly reviews the situation he will see that many of the .'.���������.statements' ..made in the article were not justified by'the facts, and neither was there any duty resting upon him, either from courtesy or any other motive, to take upon himself to apologise on behalf of Canada to the United States for a "rebuff" or. "an affront" put upon them. The statements to which we would take exception maybe tabulated as follows: 1 That the. electors had been'���������frightened into a stampede for high protection." - 2 That'��������� "retaliatory tanft"war will begin as soon as Mr.. Borden revives the old duties prior to 1896." 3 That "Mr. Borden and the Conservative party are under -promise to contribute say at least twenty-live millions of dollars towards the construction of dreadnoughts for England's navy. 4 That there is anything whatever in the situation to sirggest "militarism arrd the probable re-occupation of Can- resources?

Wright claims for him.

G That '-Sir Wilfrid Laurier will measure irp to the highest statesman in this or any other country." Our answers to these misstatements are: 1 Defeat of reciprocity simply meant leaving Canada's tariff as it is ���������an average of 35 percent, against the U.S. average of 75per Cent, against rrs. There may be slight increases on sorrre lines if Canadian interests need such and decreases in other litres, but no probable disturbing of the general average which was 35 per cent before 1896 and is 35 per cent after 1896. 2 Our answer to the first also answers the second. 3 Mr. Borden is not under any such promise. Neither is he likely to commit Canada to anything in the way of a naval policy until he gives the people an opportunity to say what they want. In that respect he will differ from the high statesman Laurier who-scorned the idea of asking the people's advice and forced a nondescript naval policy on the country that was a disgrace to both hinr and the country. But you may depend on it, the course Borden with the people's consent will pursue in the matter of a naval programme will be worthy of Canada's position as an integral portion of the empire and will be business like. 4 Needs no answer. o Why this undertone of Anglo- phobism, and why this belittlement of the vast majority of the free and independent electors of Canada, both Conservative and Liberal? Wouldn't it be better for our cotem. to ask the United States to take 40 per cent, off that 75 per cent, tariff wall of theirs and thus restore the tariff equilibrum which is to all intents and purposes equivalent to free trade, than to go apologizing to the United States for Canada's action in protecting her own T-TIS ..HON.OU.lt the Lieutenant-Governor in ���������*��������� Council lias been pleased to appoint tire Honourable Albert Edward MePlirllrps, K.

See their ad. in another col- ' uhrn. There will be a special song service in Fraternity ball, on Sunday evening Oct. 15 in. place of the regulai" fortnightly service irr the church. Mrs. Bowerman, who has been stopping with her sister-in-law, Mrs. Boeing, during the past two months, returned on Monday to Oroville. A new biink-house and over-hauling of sorrre of the old ones will effect a big improvement in accommodations at the Nickel Plate.' Messrs. Boeing and Brass have the work in hand. G. H. Whiteman, formerly of the B. N. A. staff here is back in the country again and at present is employed in the Rossland brunch. His health is very much improved by his trio back to the old country. The beating handed out on Saturday last by Vancouver to the challenging Tecumschs for the Minto cup offers undisputed evidence that lacrosse supremacy has been transferred from eastern Canada to the Pacific coast. It seems'like old times to have Geo. Wardle in town ae-ain attending to the wants of citizens in the butcher business. He is here helping J. R. Edmond in the absence of J. Mairhof- fer who is laid up with an attack of rheumatism. A man named Parks who was brought to the Hedley hospital a couple of weeks ago suffering from an injury received while working at Coal- mont is in a very serious condition. The injury received has arrested the circulatory piocess and an inordinate swelling of the entire body has resulted. The end of last week he became delirious and as the nurses were unable to manage him other quarters had to be. found and the end is expected daily. Later���������Ho died on Tuesday morning. : A team belonging to Carle, the fruit 'man. made a very leisurely sort of runaway on Saturday evening. If other runaway hoK-es would exercise the same horse sense urrd reason out tlie folly of running up a bill of break ages tlrnt would be better'expended in buying oats, how much better: oil* they would fare. , , "M.'K. Rodgers returned" to Seattle on Friday, taking witlr hinr his wife and family who spent tire .summer in Hedloy and by Mrs. Jones of Seattle who was visiting with them. On this trip, as usual, Mr. Rodgers took sorrre some hard .-tramps through the hills and showed that he is still able t6 rank with the most skookum of the prospectors in getting over the country Readers will note that the hour- of evening service has changed from the summer schedule of S. p. rn. to the fall and winter hour-of 7.30. The confusion seems to have originated by a premature announcement a month ago without consultation as to former- practice in vogue. The first of October and the first of April have been the dates for making the . change in each case, these dates occurring about ten days after the spring and - fall equinoxes. ( It was a pleasant surprise on Tuesday to quite a few citizens when Mr. T. C. Gorrie, of California, arrived unexpectedly in Hedley. This is Mr. Gome's first visit to Hedley since the memorable summer, of 1909 when he had charge of operations in the exhaustive examination which resulted in the purchase of the Nickel Plate by the present owners., , Mr. Gorrie is an old mining operator whose business it is to not be fooled . underground, and no matter whether previous reports had been good or ill he takes things as he finds their in that examination important assistance was lent him by Mr. Jones who was then mine superintendent and it was a special pleasure to Mr. Jones to go , through th'i mine with'him again at this lapse of time and show him the result of development in the interval. Mr. Gorrie will remain for a few days, and as he only saw the Similameen in spring and summer before he will now be able to see it in autumnal dress. Mr. Charles Carrrsell is winding' up the season with some examinations in the Lillooet district. His summary report of geological researches made by him in the sumrm-r of 1911 will be looked for with special interest'and is expected to make particularly interesting, reading as the special connuis- sioris given him '.for the season were of more than usual interest. These comprised further" investigation of the new diamond' field of Olivine mountain; the examination of Steamboat.! which pro veil of the 'postmortem "order arrd some field work at other points on the Skagit. A. moving picture show on Thursday last gave the best exhibition in that line that, has yet appeared irr Hedley. The intention was to give it only the one night, but as there was a fair turnout on the first night and numerous requests to repeat, it was given again the second night! The concern belongs to the Okanagarr- Kootenay circuit and the intention is to make fortnightly visits to Hedley ' whine tlie electric power enables them i to put on the pictures in good shape. The pictures were very good: the com-1 edy was lii/ht and wholesome and ir- ! resistibly funny without a suggestion of indelicacy, while tlie lion scene and those depicting the scienie beauties of waterfalls in Austria were most enjoyable even if the latter should be very much of a case of "carrying, coal to Newcastle" in, displaying itin British Columbia.

It is inevitable that the value of these lots will Greatly Increase. Here are some of the reasons. East Princeton is surrounded by huge deposits of coal, cement, copper, gold, and other important minerals. The British Columbia Portland Cement Co. is erecting a half a million dollar plant which will employ between 300 and 400 men. The United Empire Co. is shipping a lignite coal of the best quality and is developing immense copper deposits, requiring large reduction works and several hundred employees. t The Princeton Coal and Land Co. is increasing its daily shipments to 300 tons of coal, providing employment to about .150 men. Other coal companies are spending over '$2,000,000 in development, and will erive work to at least .1000 men. For transportation, East Princeton will have, in the near future, the Great Northern and the Kettle Valley lines, both of which, will pass through the townsite. East Princeton is beautifully situated on the Similkameen river, with an abundance of water power available. The new city has every factor for growth into a big industrial centre. It presents a rare opportunity for investment. Get Full Particulars immediately D. G. McCurdy, R. E. Ward, Princeton, B. C. Pacific Blk., Vancouver, B.
