NY..'4.\nSOUTH VANCOUVER, B.C., CANADA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1914\nPrice 5 cents\nTrade Unionists in South Vancouver Up In Arms\nBecause Municipal Council Patronizes Non-Union Firm\nIndignation is Aroused Among Trade\nUnionists and Workers in General over\nCouncil's Attitude--Chairman Whelpton\nTells of School Board's Stand on the Question\nWESTMINSTER CHURCH I NEWS FROM ALL PARTS OF\nLADIES SOCIETY SOUTH VANCOUVER\nBecause South Vancouver does not\njelhere tei the precendent set down by\nthe City eef Vancouver and all other\nlarge Canadian civic corporations\nthat all supplies for the various departments must bear the union label,\nlabor men throughout the municipality have made a protest.\nIt has been learned tbat the council have purchased certain small\nquantities of supplies from non-union\nr-hops rather than patronize tbe union\ncompetitors. As South Vancouver\nis made up for the great part of wage\ntaming people, thc vast majority of\nwhom arc affiliated with the various\nunions, it may bc understood tbat thc\nratepayers are more or less ticklish ou\nthe subject of non-union labor.\nThe South Vancouver School\nBoard declare emphatically that thc\n! ard will not buy one dollar's worth\nof materials from contractors who\ndo not support thc principle of union\nlabor. It would appear, however, that\nthc council have not yet declared\nthemselves on this point.\nChairman C. W. Whelpton, in disusing the matter with the \"Chinook\"\nleclared that if thc South Vancouver\nCouncil had at any time patronized\n\"n-union labor that it had not done,\nhat was in his opinion, the square\ntl ing by either the union men of\nSouth Vancouver, who make up the\nhack bone of the municipality, or\nthose competing contractors in the\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd strict who employ union labor, pay\n- 'id wages, and spend their money\nright in thc district.\nChairman Whelpton stated that a\nc msiderable time ago the School\nBoard had t-iken a determined stand\non the subject of employing union\nlabor. It was impossible, he slated,\nfor a non-union mail or non-union\ncontractor to secure any work or\ncontracts from the School Hoard if\nunion men were available.\nFollowing thc matter further,\nChairman Whelpton declared tbat the\nSchool Hoard preferred to deal with\nlocal tradesmen where such was possible and next to firmly sticking out\nior the local man, ihe policy of patronizing union men was the most\nimportant feature of their policy in\nregards to purchasing supplies and\nemploying mechanics.\nMr. Harry Neelands, of tbe South\nVancouver School Board, is a promin-\nrtant position in organized labor,\nI eclared tbat thc fact that the council would give out one penny's worth\nof work to a non-union shop iu preference to a union firm, was a serous matter. He declared that the\nprinciple of endorsing organized labor should extend to the various de-\nTiartments of the administration.\nMechanics employed by the municipality of South Vancouver should be,\nas far as possible, union men, he declared, and the heads of the building,\n'lectric and plumbing departments,\nif new men should be chosen, should\nhe members in good standing of their\nrespective unions.\nIt is stated that the Trades and\nLabor council, which is made up of\nrepresentatives from the various\ntrades unions throughout Greater\nVancouver have taken cognizance\nf the fact that the South Vancouver\nCouncil is alleged to be supporting\nto a certain extent, non-union shops,\nand will make the usual representations in thc matter with a view of developing harmony between the coun-\n>\"il and Organized labor.\nIt is declared that in the case at\n:ssue, the particular contractor represented to the council that be was in\nsood standing with the unions and\nthat the union label was at all times\ntdaced on goods going from his shop.\nIt is alleged that thc man has endeavored to obtain the label, but that\nwing to his unsavory record, tbe\nunion refused to grant him the privilege sought.\nIt is known that Reeve Dickie has\nat all times shown a strong sympathy\nfor the working man and that he is\nthoroughly in accord with the principles of organized labor. The inci\ndent adverted to, however, did not\ncome under his personal observation\nit is said. Councillor Rutledge is a\nstn ing sympathizer with the unie>n\nman. Councillor Rutledge insists\nupon having the label on all his own\nprinted matter and it is likely that\nhad he known any contracts were\ngoing througii to a non-union firm,\nhe would have taken a decided stand\nagainst such procedure. Councillor\nStevens has declared his sympathy\nfor the union cause, it is stated, Councillor Thomas is emphatically iu favor\neif the exclusive employment of union\nlabor. It is further stated that all\nthe other councillors arc in favor of\norganized labor.\nMany Reports of good Work Being\nAccomplished Presented at Meeting at Home of Mrs. McQuaig\nAttended by a large number of the\nmembers, the Ladies' Aid Society of\nWestminster Presbyterian Church\nheld the 2nd meeting of the year at\nthe residence of Mrs. McQuaig, James\n& 28th Avenue.\nFew people appreciate the work of\nthis well organized society. The\nmany ideas and schemes which wcre\nput intei effect tej raise funds to carry\non the work. \"Help thc needy,\" is\nthe slogan of the society and they\nind a good deal of help necessary.\nThey have a great many demands on\ntheir funds, and assistance given them,\nassists a worthy cause.\nPlans were made for the second annual St. Patrick's Supper, and will be\nannounced later. I'he meeting closed with a social cup of tea. Mrs. McQuaig was assisted by Mrs. McKay.\nFAVORS CLAUSE\nTO SECURE SITES\nFOR INDUSTRIES\nIn an interview this week, Reeve\nDickie declared himself as being absolutely in favor of supporting any\nreasonable measure which would result in the development of the industrial life of South Vancouver in particular and Greater Vancouver in\ngeneral.\nThe following interview was printed in the \"World\" and tells of the\nstand tbe Reeve of Point Grey is\nprepared to take em the matter :\n\"An industry in Point Grey is a\nVancouver industry.\"\nThat is the plain manner of stating\na plain fact, which a plain man used\nin talking tei the \"World\" today. The\nman is Reeve Churchill, of Point\nGrey. The subject or. which his at-\nitention was turned for tlle moment\nwas tbe proposal made by his council, and by that of the city of North\nVancouver, among others, to have a\nclause in the new Municipal Act. empowering municipalities and cities to\npurchase land for industrial sites, the\nproperty to bc leased afterwards ou\na fair basis to manufacturing concerns seeking a location.\n\"One of the immediate benefits\nthat would follow from following such\na course,\" said Reeve Churchill, \"is\nthe doing away with all bonuses, tax\nand other exemptions by way of inducement to industries te) locate\na district or city. More than that,\nthis plan has been tried out success\nfully elsewhere.\n\"In one city in eastern Canada, a\nblock of one hundred and sixty acres\nof land was purchased not so very\nmany years ago, for this purpose, and\nit is already entirely occupied with\nflourishing industries, all of which\nhave come to locate since this plan\nwas adopted.\n\"From a financial point of view\nthere is everything to recommend\ntbe plan,\" said Point Grey's chief\nmagistrate. \"The municipality would\nbe in a position to buy at the best\npossible rates if authorized to raise\ndebentures for the purpoje. The land\nbought would be an asset which\nwould keep pace in value with the\nrest of the municipality. The cost\nwould be defrayed by a sinking bind.\nAs part of the land was leased, the\nrentals would go towards reducing\nthe amount of sinking fund to be\nraised by the ratepayers. Eventually tbe property would be paid for,\nwould be a net asset, and would be\nrevenue producing and, more than\nall, would have served to secure the\nestablishment of many industries\ntbat might otherwise have been very\nslow coming, if they had come at all.\"\nRecounting the fact that the municipality's comptroller. Mr. B. A. Cunliffe, had taken up the matter before\nthe municipal committee of the legislature when be was over t.i Victoria\nwith tbe reeve last week. Mr. Churchill made a strong appeal to the citizens of Vancouver and to the city-\ncouncil as well, to support the request of thc district municipalities\nfor this desirable provision to be\nplaced in the act. From that point\nof view be made the assertion which\nstands at the head of this interview,\nand he considers it so plain a statement of fact that it requires no demonstration. The interests of tbe city\nand of the surrounding municipalities are identical and tbe establishment of industries, no matter within\nwhich district, will benefit all. is his\nopinion.\nNew Wiring Plumbing and Building\nInspector Appointed\nAt the council meeting on Tuesday\nit was decided after a lengthy discus-\nsiem to place Mr. G.

They want to\nassay Geild in the legal melting pot\nand see if he is metal with a true\nring.\nHere is the story of an \"attempt\nto end the Gold Regime.\"\nThc Reeve and Council of South\nVancouver have been notified that an\nattempt is fei be made to put an end\nto what is called in municipal circles\n\"the Geild regime.\" Almost simultaneous with the arrival at the Municipal Hall eif an ex-reeve and an ex-\ncouncillor, an auto arrived with a\nrepresentative of tbe law- firm of\nMessrs. Bowser, Reid & Wallbridge,\nwho personally served upon the reeve\nand council a notification which is\n-aid to be tee thc effect that according\nto sections 20 and 22 of the Municipal\n| Acl. Councillor Edward Gold is dis-\nI qualified from holding office a- a\n' councillor.\nThe grounds upon which notice has\nbeen served are -aiel ti' lee to the effect that at tlie time of tlie municipal\nelection Mr. Gold was a debtor to\nthe municipality under a judgment\npronounced by tbe Court of Appeal\no! liritish Columbia, whereby he was\ndirected t'i pay certain costs of an\naction which he had brought against\nthe municipality. Sections 20 and 22\ne,f the Municipal Act arc said to be\ninterpreted by the firm of lawyers\nacting for the ratepayers concerned,\nas declaring that any debtor to the\nmunicipality is disqualified from bedding office on the council, and further, that section 27 imposes a penalty upon any person who being disqualified, votes at any meeting of the\ncouncil. This section togethei with\nsection 24, and the sections previously mentioned are held tei apply to thc\ncircumstances of Mr. Gold's election.\nMessrs. Bowser, Reid & Wallbridge\nare said to have given the reeve and\ncouncil two days in which to take\nany steps thev may think desirable.\nafter which, if nothing is done by\ntbe council, further proceedings may\nbe taken. The council was sitting\nin committee when the notice of dis-\nqualification was served upe>n tlle\nreeve, and a lengthy conference followed. Though no statement has\nbeen made public as to the result of\nthe deliberations of the council it is\nunderstood that it was decided t'i\ntake no action until Thursday afternoon.\nAt time of going to press we are\ninformed that Councillor Gold has\nresigned.\nA surprise party was held at the\nh..me ..I Mr. and Mrs. H.

A.\nPound presided. At this meeting it\nwas unanimously resolved that we\ntake steps te> organize thc Seiuth Vancouver Beiard of Trade and the following officers were elected : R. C.\nHodgson, president: C. S. Campbell,\nvice-president; Chas. Harrison, secretary. Since its organization this\nbody has ever been on the alert and\nhas been the prime movers iu many\nmatters that have worked out for\nthe benefit of the municipality.\nAt the time of our organization\nSouth Vancouver did not own a foot\nof water frontage on the North Arm\nof the Fiaser River, thc Municipality\nof Richmond extending tee high water\nmark on the neirth bank,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdAnd the\nfirst motion we have on record is\n(at a meeting of the council held in\nJohn Third's office on Main Street,\non February 12. 1910): \"That R. C.\nHodgson. H. B. A. Vogel and Chas.\nHarrison be appointed a deputation\nto accompany the Reeve \\o Victoria\non the question of readjustment eif\nthe southern boundary eif the municipality of South Vancouver.\" This\nmotion was endorsed at the first\nregular meeting of thc Board held on\nFebruary 17. 1910.\nTbe committee worked with thc\ncouncil to that end with tbe result\ntbat a deal was made between the\nmunicipalities of Richmond and\nSouth Vancouver early iu 1910, whereby the South Vancouver boundaries\nwere extended 21X1 feet towards the\ncentre of the river, thereby giving\nSouth Vancouver an asset on which\nshc collects thousands of dollars per\nyear in taxes as well as owning all\nthe street ends in the municipality.\nJust what this deal alone will be\nworth to South Vancouver can not\nbe readily estimated in dollars and\ncents. Jj\nIndustrial sites, which have figured so prominently in the past few\nmonths, were taken up by our board\nas early as March 21, 1910, when the\nfollowing motion appears in the\nminutes, \"Tbat we ask the municipal\ncouncil to place in their first bylaw\nthe sum of $3ui\nthe various committees and boards of\ntrade and with thc able assistance and\nco-operation of Col. J. D. Taylor,\nM.P., and H. H. Stevens. M.P., the\nXorth Fraser Harbor Bill was passed\n(and assented to the 16th of May.\n1913) providing for the appointment\nof a harbor commission and giving\nthem extensive powers. The remainder is fresh in yeiur minds: the commission has been appointed consisting of Mr. Robert Abernethy, Mr. F.\nN. Trites, and myself, and wc hope\nwith the assistance of the municipal\ncouncils, the ratepayers and the federal government to carry out the\ntrust reposed in us. and I sincerely\nhope that we all may live to see the\nNorth Fraser Harbor one of the\nleading harbors and busiest shipping\nports in America.\nSo far as our board is concerned,\nyou have done your work well, although at times since you undertook\nthis work you met with opposition\nand ridicule, yet you have stood to\nyour guns without a waver and with\nyour eyes on the word \"success.\"\nYou never halted until your object\nwas attaintel and the work of the development if the river was handed\nover to thc harbor commissioners.\nAnother important project undertaken by this board was \"free postal\ndelivery.\" At a meeting held on November 2. 1911. a committee was appointed to take the matter up with\nour member. Mt. H. H. Stevens, M.\nP., with thc result, as you know, it\nwas secured; being the first instance\niu Canada when a free mail delivery\nwas secured outside of an incorporated city. Although it does not as yet\nextend over the whole municipality,\nwc are continuously hammering away\nand the zones are being extended\nevery few months\nOn July 27, 1911, a motion was passed to appoint a committee to wait\nupon the council rt municipal dock.\nAlthough this has not yet been ac-\ncompllshed I trust at no great distant date to see a government dock\nwithin tlle boundaries of South Vancouver.\nOn April 4. 1910. a motion was passed requesting the council to immediately inaugurate a proper and scientific scheme of roadbuilding and sewerage ceinstruction under a competent engineering staff, which recom-\nmenelation was acted upon, and although there is vast room for improvement in the former, still a start\nhas been made in the right direction.\nRegarding the sewerage tbe whole\nscheme feir Greater Vancouver is now\nin the hands of a commission which\nwill doubtless carry out the work in\nan efficient manner.\nOur telephone system is a matter\nthat has been given a great deal of\nattention by the beiard. Early in\n1911 we appointed a committee to\nwork in conjunction with the various\nbeiards of the Lower Mainland to impress upon thc government the advisability of a government-owned\nsystem, and although a great deal of\ninformation was gathered rfom the\nvarious provinces in support of the\nproject it seemed impossible to do\nanything along those lines, but I am\nstill in hopes that the matter will\nagain be taken up and pushed to a\nsuccessful conclusion.\nOn November 27, 1912, a motion\nwas passed requesting the council to\ntake steps to enforce Sunday closing.\nThis is a matter upon which the board\nfelt keenly, they being of the opinion\ntbat from a business point of view,\nno good comes from Sunday trading.\nThis matter was since taken up and\n1 understand an appeal is now before the courts which I sincerely\ntrust will result in giving the municipality power to regulate that matter and that our council will prove\nthemselves strong enough to cope\nwith the question in a business like\nway.\n(Continued on Page S) SATURDAY.

His name is Tom Dickie.\nSUPPORT TRADE UNION LABOR\nWE are far from laying down as a dictum that\nwhen in Rome you should do as Rome does\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nin everything! But when a community has settled\nthat a certain course of conduct, for the community\nas a whole, or for individual members, is wise and\nbeneficial, then the man who runs counter to recognized custom, who flouts popular opinion\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdbased upon\nexperience is not Only a fool, but an enemy to the commonwealth.\nVancouver\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdGreater Vancouver is a district, an\narea, a little commonwealth where the principle of\ntrade unionism i.s regarded as having the full force\nof an unwritten law\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdone of those laws which are\neven more binding than legal enactments. That a\nman, a corporation, a public body, should give his\nsupport to trade union labor\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthus discouraging sweating, unfair competition and incompetence\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdhas passed\nout of the realms of discussion, it is generally assented to and most public bodies insert a trade union\nclause in all their contracts.\nWe regret to see that in Greater Vancouver, a working class municipality where the welfare of the worker\ndemands consideration, there is a growing tendency\nto disregard trade union shops and give work to firms\nnot protecting the workers by running on trade union\nlines. Let us reassert some of the reasons for the\nexistence of trade unions\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdreasons which were potent\nenough to determine us to run the \"Chinook\" on\ntrade union lines.\nThe organization of the workers in trade unions is\na matter of imperative necessity in force of the fearful evils of low wages, excessive overtime and inhuman\nconditions of life. Disciplined organizations on the part\nof labor are needed to cope with the concentrated\ncombinations on the side of capital\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdconcentrations\ninimical to the welfare of the worker and the consumer. Trade unionism is necessary to the maintenance of a high level of industrial efficiency. We could\nadd one hundred and one other reasons, but are they\nnecessary ? South Vancouver, almost to a man approves of trade union labor and the man. the firm, the\ncorporation, the representative liody, or the body\nwhich is supposed to be representative, which ignores\npublic opinion and gives work to non-union firms,\nstands a very good chance of getting severely disliked.\nShould a man come forward to fill a representative\noffice and proclaim himself an enemy to trade unionism\nlie wou'd stand about as much chance of being elected\nas a sphere of snow would stand a chance of maintaining its solid rotundity in that torrid locality euphemistically spoken of as\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdHades.\n.vriter happens to be the originator of a policy for\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffduppressing the treating system which was oublished\nin the Vancouver \"World\" some years ago and was\n.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdndorsed by no less an authority than the editor of\nCollier's Weekly.\" The idea briefly was that the\ngovernment force all bar-room owners to divide the\nars into stalls, each large enough to hold one drinker,\nin the plan of the stalls in a livery barn. At the front\n>f the stall might lie a little slide through which the\nud-. might be served to the thirsty and the money\n;>aid therefore. A stool might be placed in each stall\n\"or the convenience of the drinker and behind might\n.tin a gutter such as may be found in all modern barrooms. The walls of the stalls would have to be made\nout of oak or re-inforced concrete so as to permit of\nno inter-communication among the drinkers. This\nwould do away with the comfortable foot railing and\nthe attractive mahogany backed with great mirrors\nand bright lights. Each stall would be unlighted.\nMr. H. E. Gadsby, the versatile parliamentary\nwriter, once wrote that \"a man sneaking into one of\nthose stalls to have drink would do so with the air of\none who had stolen his grandmother's watch.\"\n\"PEED MY LAMBS\"\nWE call attention to efforts being made in Collingwood and we trust in other places in South\nVancouver, to benefit generations yet to come by\nlooking after the physical welfare of the children of\ntoday. Although all districts are being \"opened up,\"\nalthough thanks to an energetic council \"tlle path to\nschool is made easy.\" there are yet many hundreds of\nschool children who cannot get home to a good warm\n\"lunch\" during the mid-day recess. South Vancouver mothers are kind and wise, they do what they can\nwith a lunch basket, but no basket can take the place\nof a good, freshly prepared meal, hot and taken under\nthe social conditions as necessary to children as to\n\"grown-ups.\"\n\"The British army marches on its stomach\" is an\naxiom handed down from the days of Wellington and\nour army of school children\ufffd\ufffd\ufffda vast army indeed in\nthe South Vancouver of today\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdcannot march forward in scholastic progress, conquering igncrance and\nachieving victories of advancement unless the little\n\"tummie\" is warmed and fed to nourish the developing and sorely taxed brain. To what extent a child's\nbrain is taxed few people pause to consider. Every\nfaculty is alert, not only to acquire book knowledge,\nbut to pick up the physical facts of every-day life\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand\nto expect a child to grow in stature\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdphysical, moral,\nintellectual, without the brain being fed by good, rich,\nwell nourished blood is the height of folly\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand cruelty !\nYes! We repeat\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"Cruelty\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand we have the\nauthority of the great physician, the most eminent of\nnir day, Sir Crichton Browne, for the use of the term.\nThis great and humane man visited a school to give\naway prizes and an address. He refused to do either\nafter he had glanced at the children, until they had\nbeen fed. \"I will not be guilty of the cruelty of trying to teach anything to hungry children,\" he said.\nSo also we remember that Ellen Terry, a sensible\nwoman, refused to have a word to say about a new\nplay, until its author, just come from a long journey\nhad had a square meal. \"1 cannot talk art or business\nwith a hungry man,\" said Ellen Terry, \"a hungry mail\nis only ripe for a quarrel.*' So God bless the sensible\nmen and women who arc feeding the children at the\nCarleton School, South Vancouver. Eeeding some\nof them\ufffd\ufffd\ufffda good many of them\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdfree, for times are\nhard! God bless the people everywhere who are doing a similarly good work, but be not content to invoke a blessing. Do what you can to help! Patronize\nthat concert for the fund. Give the promoters your\nsupport and sympathy. \"Peed my lambs,\" said Christ,\nand that was a command we should all hasten to obey.\nThe welfare of the child is the basis of the Canada\nof the future, and the \"Chinook\" feels it can do no\nmore patriotic work than commend and encourage\nwhatever is for the physical, moral anil intellectual\nbenefit of our children.\nA CURE FOR BOOZING\n,,! F men must have alcohol, let them have it under\n1 proper conditions, under government control,\npure quality and private profit eliminated,\" declared\nDr. Proctor in an address on \"Citizenship\" before one\nof the Kitsilano Young People's Societies. Referring\nto the fact that most of the failures were caused by\nalcohol, Dr. Proctor stated that during 1913 more\nthan 2,000 men were arrested in Vancouver for drunkenness.\nJust so long as liquor is manufactured, men will\ndrink it, and women too. In South Vancouver during the past year, and South Vancouver has a population of 35.000 or more, the local police had to deal\nwith but a few score cases of drunkenness. There is\nonly one hotel in South Vancouver. Notwithstanding this, an odd citizen was able to accumulate a comfortable load in Vancouver whenever opportunity\narose, and carried it backward with him to his home\nneighborhood. The drunks dealt with by the South\nVancouver police invariably got their poison in tbe city.\nIt is the belief of the \"Chinook\" that the best way\nto put a damper on the popularity of the drinking of\nintoxicants is to cut out the treating system. The\n\"SPRING IS HERE (?)\nIN this matter of fact world the poet is to be encouraged\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand the spring poet\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdoften ridiculed,\nhelps to bring the season along.\nJ. Warrington, of North Arm has sent us our first\nspring poem, almost long enough to extend to next\nfall.\nThe poet writes :\nTall pinks the wild bushes are sealing\nAnd roses the hedges adorn\nAnd blossoms are sweetly inhaling\nThe smiling effulgence of morn\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nThis may be poetry, but is not fact, we will hold over\nthe rest of the poem until the clerk of the we-iiher justifies its publication.\nPARTY PATRONAGE\nRECENTLY, the president of the Vancouver Conservative Association, Dr. Patterson, made a\npublic utterance regarding the distribution of party\npatronage which brought forth a rebuke even from\nhis chief, Sir Richard McBride. There will be very\ngeneral agreement with the following from the \"Woodstock Sentinel-Review\" of Ontario:\n\"Consider one of the customs which the party system has fastened on us. In theory when a party is\nplaced in power the Government which is formed\nrepresents the whole people of the country and not\nmerely a section or faction of the people. We call it\nthe Government of Canada, and allow it to speak and\nto act in the name of the people of Canada. Yet. as\na matter of practice, when it comes to the tilling of\noffices and the distribution of favors, we allow, and\nexpect, that some Government to act as if nobody\noutside of one political party was entitled to any consideration. Scarcely have the campaign echoes of the\ndeclarations of devotion to public interest died away\nthan the public interest is forgotten and the further\nprocedure is frankly and bluntly directed by party interest, And we are all so accustomed tn this that we\naccept it as a matter of course.\n\"There is a custom that is more extraordinary still.\nIn a constituency which is not represented by a supporter of the Government the patronage often belongs\nto the defeated candidate; that is to say. the man who\nhas been rejected by the constituency is given practically all the powers of government that are exercised in\nthe constituency, while the man wlm has l>een chosen\nby the people as their representative must be content\nto look on and voice an occasional ineffective protest.\nW'e are all so accustomed to this method of transacting public business that we accept it. too, cither as\nperfectly proper or as inevitable.\n\"Obviously the proper method of making appointments to the public service is by an independent body\nthat would take no account of party claims but would\nbe guided entirely by the qualifications of the candidates for the offices to be filled. Both political parties\nwhen they are on their good behavior before the public, profess to be disgusted with the spoils system and\nin favor of some form of the merit system; but neither\nseems to have the courage to inaugurate such a reform. Both, no doubt, are waiting until public pressure becomes irresistible, and as the public seems to\nbe quite content with things as they are, the wait is\nlikely to be a long one. If we waited for a spontaneous movement on tlie part of the public before there\nwas any progress in practical science, in literature, in\nmusic, or in painting, there would be a long wait, too.\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nBY THE WAY\nD\nC. SNAZEL, OF NEW WESTMINSTER, set a\nsnarling dog upon a saucy school boy who was snowballing him. A severe magistrate sentenced Snazel lo\nserve six months.

Greatest Globe Trotter\nPeterborough Examiner\nThe I lon. George E. Foster, nominal Minister of\nTrade and Commerce, is the greatest globe trotter of\nhistory. I le has been in office three years nearly, and\n'las, to use an Irishism, been more out of office than in\nit. He had been circumamublating the globe in pretended search of trade. He is supposed to lie a member of the Cabinet, but his attendance at cabinet councils has been more honored in the breach than the observance. If the Honorable Mr. Foster were compelled to punch a time clock, installed in the Dominion\nCabinet Council chamber, and and was paid accordingly, he would draw very little salary from the public\ndiest. As Minister of Trade and Commerce, his salary is $7,000. This, plus his sessional indemnity of\n^2,500. makes his total salary $9,500. We don't say-\nhat this is too much, in the abstract, but it seems to\nbe too much for a Cabinet Minister who is no Cabinet\nMinister, who does not sit often enough about the\n^leiticil Board to keep the dust off his seat.

Francis Bursill\nThere has always been a peculiar\nfascination about the stories of men\nwlm, beginning a< poor boys, have\nrisen to a position of dignity and opulence. History is full of such instance*, from the days of Joseph to\ntheese of Dick Whittington, and, on\ntlii* continent, from the man who\nwent front ton cabin to White House,\ntee I..,rel Strathcona, about whose remarkable career Mr. J. Francis Bursill lectured at the Aberdeen School\nanel under tlie auspices of the Art\nand Historical Society to a .large and\nkeenly interested audience. The lecture illustrated by upwards ot a hundred splendid slides, \"as a vivid\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdketch of the life e,f the poor Scot-\nli-h hoy, born at I-'orrcs in Scotland\nin 1X31 and dying full of years and\nhonors in the capital \"i tbe Empire\nin 1914.

Thus, in speaking of what\nmade Lord Strathcona the man he\nwas, Mr. Bursill contended that it\nwas his association through some 14\nor IS years of almost complete soli-\nlude and desolation in Labrodor with\nfour great hooks that vitally influenced his career. In Labrador his only\nlibrary consisted of the Bible, Shakespeare, Boswell's \"Life of Johnson\"\nLord Strathcona\nEpisodes of a most dramatic character were introduced, and were taken\nfull advantage of by a speaker well-\nknown here for his picturesque and\nanecdotal style. Now and then the\nnarrative was brightened by a touch\nof humor, as when it was recorded\nthat a man who twitted Donald\nSmith (Lord Strathcona) with his\nplebian name, was answered by references to Captain John Smith (of\nPocahontas fame), Adam Smith,\nSydney Smith and other famous\nmembers of the numerous Smith\nfamily. Again, it was amusing to\nhear of the introduction of the bagpipes into distant Labrador by an enthusiastic Scotsman who, seeing\nhow the Eskimos and Indians danced\nwith delight to the skirl of the pipes,\ndeclared that they must have good\n\"Ilieland bluid\" in their veins. \"That,\"\nnl served Mr. Bursill, with a touch of\nsly humor, \"was not at all unlikely\nin those days.\"\nThere was something for young\nand old in this lecture and it was\ngratifying to notice in the Aberdeen\nSchool audience many young people\nwin. followed with keen interest thc\nsteiry i'i Donald Smith's trapping\ndays in Labrador, while older members e,i ihe audience, of' a financial\nnun ..f mind, were equally interested\nin the romantic story of how thc C.\nP, R. was financed and of the devel-\nopment of the great Hudson's Bay\nCom- \"ny.\nTl I clare wrs a less m in history,\nf.ir there \\v:.-c thrown upon the\nand the speeches of William Pitt.\nPortraits of Shakespeare, Johnson\nand Pitt were thrown upon the screen\nand the portraits of the two latter\nmust have impressed upon the attention of those who heard the lecture\nthe sturdy independence and strength\nof character of the great lexographer,\nqualities that Donald Smith seemed\nto have absorbed, and the brilliant\ngifts of the statesman who, at tha\nage of 24, guided the destinies of this\ngreat Empire.\nThe scope of the lecture has been\nindicated. It was regrettable that all\nthe young people of Vancouver were\nnot present in the Aberdeen School\nto hear the lesson of so great a life\nof pluck and achievement and generosity told in such a happy manner.\nMany well-known Vancouver citizens wcre present and Mr. Bursill was\naccorded a very warm vote of thanks\ncouched in highly complimentary\nterms.\nThis lecture will shortly bc given\nin South Vancouver\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdlook out feir announcement.\nLOT NEAR CAR\n$550\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdEasy Terms\nThis lot is situated on 56th Avenue,\nclose to Victoria Road, which now\nhas a 10-minute car service.
