By no means. His interest in land,\nat that critical point of his life, was not thc interest of\na would-be landlord or speculator, but of one who felt\ntbe need of land for his own personal use.

He \"could not\nfind a place on a Conservative platform\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdhe could not find\na place to tell the truth.\"\n\"Who are these whipper-snappers?\" he asked.\n\"The Kaiser Williams of this province,\" he continued,\n\"rose in their little might and tried to read me out of the\nparty.\n\"Those puny men!\n\"But, thanks to God, there was a Conservative in 1909\nsent for me\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdSir Robert Borden\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdsent for me to go to my\nnative province and he read me in again.\n\"I am a staunch supporter of Borden.

The other punch was\ndelivered last night, and was for all\nwho wanted to thwart him.\n\"Well, I prefer the British system\nto that of the Kaiser.\nIn the days when he had been in\nparliament, went on Sir Charles,\nthere was no slavery, and those who\nopposed a thing in caucus opposed it\nin the house.\nBowser Wore Grit Collar\n\"And who arc thc men who read\nme out of the party?\" he asked.\n\"The attorney-general, he wore a\nGrit collar around his neck in 1896\nfor $50. He split the Conservative\nvote. At .noon on that election day.\nwhen he saw he could not be elected\nhe went to his friends and asked them\nto vote the Girt ticket. His reward\nwas an appointment to investigate\npartizanship. He got for his little\nsalary all it was worth, $83.50 and\nexpenses.\nCharge Against Bowser\n\"I charge, in this election, you\nhave evidence that you have been\ngoverned in this province by a corrupt government. By men, to their\nshame, who have lent themselves to\ncorrupt practices. They may get\ntheir agent-generals, but the tax collector remains with us.\n_ This hideous trail runs from 1909\nsince those two railway Huns\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdMackenzie and Mann\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdbegan to operate\nhere.\n\"Two honest men\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdTatlow and\nFulton\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdcould not stand the attempted manipulation. Then followed another mile stone\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdEllison and his\ncow; then another kind of stock\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdDr.\nYoung's coal stock.\n\"This pilfering of your money and\nmine led to a rivalry between the two\nmen, and I am bound to give Bowser\nhis due, he outdid Sir Richard. Sir\nRichard allowed a rake-off dealing\nwith the Songhees Reserve of $75,000\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd$45,000 of the plunder disappeared.\nBut that was .only $75,000! So the\ngreat William J. arose and pulled off\n$80,000 on the Kitsilano reserve deal.\n\"Bowser's reply to the court's decision that it was a lavish waste of\nthe money and the dut yto go after\nit, was, that the courts didn't know\nhow long it took, and the court was\nfar away. But Tisdall's answer to\nthe 'Crisis' was, that the courts had\ndisposed of that!\n\"You pay your money and take\nyour choice!\nSir Charles dealt with A. C. Flumerfelt in a sarcastic and very amusing\nmanner. Good Mr. Flumerfelt, the\nbusiness man, found the books upside\ndown, and he was going to fix them\nup, said Sir Charles, and in his acceptance of the office of finance min-\nIf the very suggestion of Opposition has brought so\nmuch good already to the people, and has made Bowser\nrelease somewhat his Napoleonic grip on the reins of government, what may happen if Mr. Brewster is returned to\nthe House?\nister he said he \"would not be responsible to anything prior to the date he\naccepted.\" Sir Charles said it damned\nthe government with faint praise.\n\"Did Bowser, Tisdall, Campbell, by\ndoing the ostrich trick, hiding their\nheads in the sand, think they could\nconceal tilings that had gone on?\"\nasked Sir Charles. .\nHe felt it was absolutely dishonest\nfor any man who knew the facts to\nconceal them, and he charged Bowser\nwith using thc office of attorney-general for his own use and pocket.\nThere was nothing to compare to-\nthe indecency, he said. In all the\nhandling of the statutes there had\nbeen a gradual drawing in to that\npoint where the statutes could be administered by some order-in-council.\nHe pointed to the tremendous power\nwielded by such an inuuence.\nBowser's legal firm acts for about\nfifty concerns, among them being:\nNorthern Construction Co., Western\nDrydock Co., Swan son Gay Wood,.\nPulp and Paper Co., B. C. Native\nOyster Co., and the Mount Gossum-\nGroundhog Coal Co., and there were\nstill others. It was through the influence of the attorney-general's\nactions.\n\"What would have been said in the-\ndays when principles were studied?\"'\nasked the speaker vehemently.\n\"It's a crime\ufffd\ufffd\ufffddownright criminal\nabuse,\" he continued. \"Many a\nyoung lawyer lost his practice\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdhis\nbread and butter\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdbecause his clients\nthought they could do better with the\nattorney-general's firm.\n\"And take his outrageous interference in private matters.

So many irons he has ia\nthe fire, the place that honors him\nleast is where he ought to be most\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nin court.\n\"How long do you feci inclined tola)' down under these things? (Loud'\ncheering.)\nDominion Trust\n\"When the Dominion Trust affair\nbobbed up, did Bowser advise the\ngovernor to assent lo this? As you.\nknow, his linn were solicitors for thc\ncompany. In 1913 his clients asked\nhim for thc power to take deposits.\nThey were willing to take their\nchances at Ottawa. Did Bowser think\nof the chances that widows and orphans were going to take? No! Tiv\nMarch. 1914, the Dominion Government forced Bowser to repeal that\nact. It was repealed, but his clients\ncontinued to take deposits. He had\npower to stop them, but he let them\ngo on.\"\nSir Charles told why he opposed\nthe government in 1909. What he\nsaid then about that awful railway\norgy had come true, and he regretted\nit.\n\"In 1909 there was an invasion by-\nrailway Huns who did not come out\nof the north, but from the east, and\nthere was some excuse for us out\nhere because in the east they robbed\nother provinces. With Tatlow and\nFulton out of the government, they\nrealized they owned the whole parliament. Times were booming, and\nthese \"buccaneers\" saw their chance.\nSir Charles quoted Sir Richard's optimistic statements that the building*\nof the C.N.R. would bring prosperity,\nand if it did not \"he would step down\nand out.\"\n\"And I understand he was pushed\na little when he did step down,\" said\nSir Charles, by which he raised a\ngreat laugh.\nSir Charles then read a speech of\nhis own in 1909, and he said it ga\\'e\nhim some little pride, as it put him in\nthe light of a prophet. In that speech\nhe said such recklessness as was then\ngoing on could only end in disaster.\n\"Am I not vindicated?\" he asked\nafter reading his 1909 speech.\nVoice\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"You bet I\"\nThc sugar plum to the merchants\nwas that the province controlled the\nrates^ said the speaker, but this has\ngone by thc board. Sir Richard put-\nit in thc act and took it out again, he\nsaid'.\nIn 1912 Bowser and McBride wanted still more power, went to the\ncountry again and got the Liberals\nout of the house, continued Sir\nCharles.\nIn other words, he explained, \"the\nelephant wanted more hay, and he\ngot more hay.\"\nIn conclusion Sir Charles said:\n\"But for God's sake, soon let this\norgy stop.

Vancouver, B.C. Phone Sey. 8286\nA definite stand has been taken in\nthese columns against the extension\nof the Moratorium Act, and, in fact,\nagainst a Moratorium of any description. Its damaging effect becomes\nmore evident as time passes.\nReaders of this page will be interested in the opinions expressed by the\nMonetary Times. Canada's leading\nfinancial journal, from which we quote\nas follows:\n\"The city of Calgary is sending a\ndeputation to Kilmonton to urge thc\nprovincial government to inaugurate\na partial moratorium in Alberta. The\nVancouver board of trade has passed\na resolution in favor of an exten-\nsii ri of the present: moratorium act\nin Hritish Columbia to apply to loans\ncontracted prior to January 1st, 1916.\nThese enthusiastic advocates of moratorium laws overlook entirely the\ndamage which such legislation, and\neven talk of it, does to Canadian credit. It makes it more difficult for\nthis country to obtain capital a-\nbriia'1 As an illustration of some of\nthe arguments advanced against this\ncontention, may be cited the statement of a speaker at the Vancouver\nmeeting, who said that as most of\nthc money loaned there since the war\nwas United States capital, the talk\nthat British Columbia's credit in the\nOld Country would be harmed, was\nnot an argument. But moratorium\nlegislation in this country, and particularly at this time, does harm to\nour credit, not only in Great Britain\nbut everywhere else. A moratorium\nis an emergency act. There were\nserious emergencies in most of the\ncountries which adopted it at the outbreak of war and in many of which\nit has now expired. Surely we cannot\ncontend that such an emergency exists in Canada, after the garnering\nof crops which are bringing $900,-\n000,000 to the country and after receiving war orders of $500,000,000.\n\"Communications have come to the\nMonetary Times showing that this\ndamage to credit is not a matter of\nimagination. Here is an extract\nfrom a letter from a mortgage loan\ncompany manager in Holland: 'Every\ninvestor wants his money so invested\nthat in case of emergency he can get\nthe by contract repayable parts of\nthe original investment and the interest). In this connection Canada\ndid not live up to the standard and I\nam afraid that the Dutch investor\nwill, after thc war, not so readily\nsend his money to Canada.'\n\"Frequently are inquiries of United States investors in Canadian securities answered as to the outlook\nhere for taxation of and legislation\nregarding the investments iu this\ncountry. A man who is responsible\nfor Ihe investment of considerable\nUnited States capital in Alberta mortgages, wrote not long ago to know\nwhat was going to happen in thai\nprovince. He was afraid that the\nmoratorium craze would spread, jeopardizing investments already placed\nthere, and stopping 'lie flow of money\nfrom his direction for mortgage loans.\nXow he is to bc told that a Calgary\ndeputation is urging the Alberta government to institute a moratorium.\nThe manager of one of the largest\nCanadian loan companies has excluded Manitoba from its operations for\nthe time being with a view to seeing\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdhe trend of legislation at the present\nsession. When British Columbia first\nsuggested its moratorium, representatives of first mortgage debentures\n.-.. p-u:q|, 0 * \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd' ' undertakings, a''\nproximating $15,000,000, met in London and passed a strong resolution\nagainst the proposed interference between borrowers and lenders in respect to first mortgages in that province. It is just as well to know that\nthese matters are not doing our credit any good.\"\nIn :his connection our readers will\nbe interested in reading of the opinion of the financial editor id the\n\"McClures Magazine.\" one of thc influential journals of thc United States.\nWe quote in part as follows:\n\"I think there is no doubt that Canada-has gone in too deep with her\nrailroads. The) have discounted the\nfuture too far. Some of them are\nwhite elephants, almost follies. Hundreds, thousands, of miles of No\nMan's Land are overbuilt with expensive lines. . . .\n\"The canny investor had better\nleave to others these newer railroad\nSecurities unless he prefers adventure.\nALSO THE DEBENTURES OF\nPROVINCES WHICH HAVE\nGONE IN RATHER DEEPLY IN\nTHE WAY OF RAILROAD GUARANTEES;\"\nThus is our credit affected in this\nnewly created money market.

The\nday of the dummy director lias almost\nentirely passed, and- good citizens\nwho have made a success of their own\nlines of endeavor will do well not\nto accept directorships unless they\niiave the time and knowledge to give\nto the necessary duties involved.\nThe conscientious and careful director may well ask for all possible\ninformation regarding the affairs of\nhis company and its business methods\nso that he may do his duty properly,\nand thereby safeguard the interests\nof those who have placed their confidence in him and his company.\nIf a director must take a chance on\na jail term as a penalty for neglecting\nhis duty, then he may well take every\npossible step to become familiar with\nhis company's business methods, and\nits internal affairs. The director's\nresponsibility is becoming a more\nserious matter as time passes, and\nthe courts are more inclined to take\nthis view latterly than ever before.\n9 B. GEO.

Since\nthe chief market for Canadian Municipal and Provincial bonds has been\ntransferred from London to New\n.York, temporarily at least, and probably for some time to come, American financial writers are paying a\ngood deal of attention to Canadian\nissues.

Benny looked out of the window, and it seemed to him that thc\nsun smiled at him.\nThe sky was very blue, here and\nthere white clouds travelled leisurely across the sky. Benny thought\nthey were angels, they looked so\nmuch like pictures he had seen of angels.\nThe dew on thc grass was glistening in the sunlight, and thc Chickadee whistled the tunc that he never\nfinishes. The river running near\nBenny's home reflected the blue of\nthe sky and the fields in the valley\nbelow were beautifully green. In the.\nfar distance the snow-capped mountains spread their sheltering arms\naround this peaceful valley.\nBig Sister helped to dress Benny\nand Daisy for breakfast.\nThe breakfast was over and Daisy\nbegged of mother to allow her to have\na tea party in her playhouse.\nMother agreed with pleasure and\nsaid that Daisy might ask two little\nfriends. 'When mother was doing her\nextra baking for Sunday, she gave\nDaisy some currant dough. With\nthis Daisy made some currant buns.\nThen when mother had made some\ncookie dough she gave sonic to Daisy\nand showed her how lo roll and cut\nthe cookies.\nOn the top of each cookie Daisy\nplaced a fat raisin. All the time Denny was near, watching the preparations.\nWhilst mother was baking the\ncookies, Daisy and Benny made the\nplayhouse in readiness for their little\nguests.\nThe playhouse was a latticed building, and was built by Wilmour, but\nwho is now away giving his services\nto the King and Country, that those\nat home might continue to live under\nthe British flag in peace and safety\nThe little building, which was built\nin the evenings, after a hard day's\nwork in the fields, was a lasting'monument to one whose devotion to the\nlittle people on the farm, especially\nDaisy, but who is How away, swallowed up in thc ranks of brave thousands\nof Canadians who were now in England awaiting the call to the battle\nfront.\nThe little guests arrived on time, if\nnot a little before. After the table\nand chairs were placed inside the little, house, there was no room left to\nplay in it, but there was plenty of\nroom on thc lawn, and the children\nplayed ball and skipping, but the\nchief attraction seemed to be the\nswing. Although they were enjoying\nthemselves greatly, they were not\nsorry when the bell rang, for their\nplay in the open air had made them\nvery hungry.\nMother had placed the goodies on\nthe tabic beside Daisy's buns and\ncookies, and big sister had made some\ncandy.\nIt was a happy little group that sat\naround thc table in the latticed playhouse. If Wilmour could have seen\nthe happy faces of the children I am\nsure he would have felt thai his labors were well repaid.\nThc children's homes were some\ndistance across the fields and Daisy\nand Benny accompanied their guests\npart of the way home.\nOn the way home they spoke of\nthe happy time they had, and hoped\nthat some day mother would let them\nhave another tea party.\nI am sure mother will.\n. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdM.

Nor did\ntliat doyen of librettists, Paul Reubens, with the most versatile of composers, Leslie Stuart, ever write anything so sparkling and spirited as the\nlyrics and music of what has come to\nbe regarded as England's ideal imisi-\ncal comedy. That may seem superlative praise to any who have never\nseen \"Floradora,\" but with all who\nhave, it is the common verdict.\nand fragrant \"Floradora,\" he has excelled himself. In stage setting and\ndresses alike he has presented a revival worthy the play. And he has\nequipped it with a east as clever and\na chorus as captivating as the most .\ncaptious could desire. Thc part of\nI.ady llolyrood, made famous by\nAda Reevc, loses none of its potent j\ncharm in the person of Miss Zara\nClinton, in whom \"chic\" and clever-1\nness are rarely combined. That such\na charming comedienne and dancer\nvoice a fine sense of character and a\nstrikingly picturesque and pleasing\npersonality of a true Carmen type.\nThese are given full play in such vocal gen - at \"The Silver Slur of l.ove\"\nand Queen of the Philippine Island-.' while her acting ability ia given further cpxression in her duets\nwith Tweedlepunch (\"When we arc\non the Stage\") and in \"Somebody,\"\nsunn with Donald Cray us Lord Al-\nercord, whose rich and well-trained\nbaritone is heard to advantage ill a\nmost artistic rendition of \"The Shade\nof the Palm.\" Miss Beatrice Carmen\nmakes an attractive Angela ('ilfain,\nwhom it must indeed be easy for Captain Donegal or any i ther \"fellah'' to\nmake love to. while her .singing of\n\"Thc Fellow Who Micht\" makes leap\nyear an unnecessary institution.\nThe overbearing Mexican overseer,\nLcandro, is cleverly played by Marc\nStone, who is clever enough to give\nthis character point without exaggerating its proportions\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthereby reveal-\nNOTABLE BARGAINS\nIN NEW SUITS FOR\nSPRING, PRICE ONLY\n$25-00\nSince that memorable first night at\nthc Lyric Theatre, London, in July\n1X99, I have seen some half score of\nsubsequent Florajifbreau productions\nnnd was responsible for the first\ncompany that toured England with\nthis most melodious and mirthful of\nlight operas. I only mention this to\ngive authority to the unbiassed opinion that last week's revival of \"Floradora\" at thc Avenue Theatre by F.\nStuart Whyte is in point of artistry\nand entertainment equal to any and\nsuperior to most of its predecessors.\nMr. Stuart Whyte has built for himself an unique reputation in this\ncountry as an artistic producer and\nsuccessful manager of high-class\ntouring companies.

But with his\nshould have been Mr. Stuart Whyte's j\",\nlientenant in the actual work of production, shows a versatility of talent\nexceeding even the vivacity of its\ndisplay. Sharing with her thc histrionic honors is ISilly Oswald, an\ninimitable comedian, whose rendering\nof Anthony Tweedlepunch (phrenologist, palmist, hypnotist, from the\nRoyal Aquarium, London), is as original as it is redolent in humor. His\n\"stew\" comedy scene in Act 2 is a\ngem of rich but refined mirthmaking,\nworthy but entirely distinct from that\nof Chaplin.\nIn J. V. Barrett-Lennard, Mr.\nStuart Whyte has discovered a young\nEnglish comedian who should \"go\nfar\" in his profession. Mr. Len-\nnard's performance as (he amative\nproprietor of the perfume and Island\nof Floradora is a distinctly creative\npiece of character comedy, cleverly\nconceived and admirably sustained.\nThat popular English comedian, Harry Hyland, is seen in another \"dude\"\nrole, to, which he brings a subtlety\nand resourcefulness that makes up in\nquality what the part lacks in quantity. His interpolated new song.\n\"Private Michael Cassidy, V.C.,\" is\none of thc successes of a show, full\nof famous song hits.\nThc leading vocal and dramatic role\n>ur annual at-|of Dolores (played originally in England hy Evie Greene) is splendidly\nsustained by Miss Lorraine Mitchell,\nlatest production of the ever fresh'who combines with a superb soprano\nHere Are the Standardbearers\nComplete List of Candidates Thus Far Nominated\nfor Provincial Election.\nBelow will be found, a tabulated list of all the constituencies which\nhave nominated their candidates for the coming provincial parliamentary elections, along with the names of the gentlemen who are to\nrepresent their different parties\nConstituency.\nAlberni \t\nAtlin\t\nCariboo\t\nChilliwack\t\nCowichan _\nColumbia _\nComox\t\nCranbrook\nDelta\t\nDewdney _\nEsquimalt\t\nFort George-.\nFernie \t\nGreenwood _.\nGrand Forks.\nIslands\t\nKamloops\t\nKaslo\t\nLillooet \t\nNelson\t\nNanaimo\t\nNo.Okanagan\nSo.

I think this will be\na great mistake and in the cud will\nresult ill no economy. Surely there\nare other ways in which thc government can economise which will harm\nthe country less than by knocking out\na scientific and educational department that is doing much good and is\nappreciated by possibly thousands\nwithin thc. province, and many outside\nof it.\nI know the educational value of the\nbotanical department is very great,\nand within the short time it has been\nin existence, it has enlisted the increasing interest of hundreds of students, school teachers and cithers from\none end of the Province to the other,\nresulting on the one hand of the acquisition of much reliable and valuable knowledge by them, and on the\nother hand, of data and collections,\netc., of scientific value to' the government and people of the country in\ngeneral. The educational work of the\ndepartment along the various lines\nProf. Davidson has been following\nis as yet in its infancy, but there are\nsufficient indications already to show\nthat the work may bear great fruit\nand in time bc a credit as well as a\nservice to the Province. If the work\nis discontinued now it will be much\nharder to pick up the threads again,\nfor people always lack confidence in\nwhat appears to have no permanency\nand therefore, also lack interest. Besides, it will tend to hold up any future work along the line to ridicule.\nUcoplc within the Province anil oth-\n' ers in different parts of the world\n(especially scientific men who are expecting great results from the department) will say \"This is a department\nthc li. C. Government attempted a\nfew years ago but they could not afford it. It is not a permanent institution and may be dropped again at\nany time.\" But aside from thc matter of education, why should this department not be permanent? The\ncost of its upkeep is very little, and\nthe economic value to the Province\nought to be great; If it is not already, it should be presently. The\nadvantage of having a botanical tic-\npartment. under a thoroughly trained\nscientific botanist ill an immense\ncountry possessing thc great fegetal\nwealth of British Columbia should be\nevident, as there are so many ways\na, small scientific department like this\nmight help in the development of the\nresources of the country. There is\nno need to enlarge on this here, as the\nvalue of the scientific botanist in this\nconnection is realised by so many\nand the good results obtained in Germany, India, and other countries are\nwell known. Surely the government\ndoes not expect the country to stand\nstill or go back, and if it expects to\ngo ahead then the botanical department is required and no doubt will as\nsist in several ways in the development of the country.\nTo my mind, to close up the botanical office will bc but to administer\nanother black eye to the Province,\nand will do no credit to the intelligence of cither the government or\nthe people. Personally, I may say,\n1 have found the botanical department\nof considerable help in my work.\nProf. Davidson has always been most\npainstaking and obliging in imparting information to myself and to\nmany others I know, and he has examined and identified several hundred specimens of plants, etc., I have\ncollected, which have economic, medicinal and other uses among the native\ntribes of the Province. In return, I\nhave always given the department\nall tlie assistance I could in getting\npeople interested in thc work, and in\nmany other ways. I have done this\nbecause I had confidence in Prof.\nDavidson's ability as a scientific botanist, and also as a matter of duty to\nhelp this branch of science along.\nJ. A. TF.1T.\nHoot Mon!
