When I was\nnsked hy a number of my friends to\nallow my name to go before this convention for the federal nomination, I\nreplied that If the Conservatives of\nKootenay desired my services they\nwere at their disposal. That has been\nmy attitude throughout, and I have\ntonight to thank you most sincerely\nfor this mark of the esteem and confidence you hnve shown me by asking\nme lo be your standard bearer.\n\"And at this point,\" sa\\d Mr. Green,\n\"I would like to express my gratitude\ntoward tlie other gentlemen whose\nnnmes were before the convention for\nhaving made the nomination unanimous nnd for the way in which they\nstated the'r willingness to back me to\nthe last dlt-sh. 1 wish to emphasize\nmy gratitude to them for the action\nthey ha\\e taken in this regard, '\n\"Now, the task you have set me Is\nfar from easy; it not only requires\ngreat knowledge and diligence lo represent this great constituency as it\nshould lie represented and to keep In\ntouch with all its varied needs and\nconditions, but I recognize as well as\nyou tliat 1 have a hard task to measure\nup to the standard set by your late\nmember, Mr. A. S. Goodeve, who filled\nthat position so ably and so well and\nwith such honor during the short time\nhe held it. When one looks over this\ngreat constituency of East and West\nKootenay and sees the great possibilities it contains for making a great\nand prosperous and populous counlry,\nthe vniiely of resources thut we have\nto be developed, and then consider that\nupon cue man Js laid the duty and\nprivilege of telling the rest of Canada\n\u25a0A'hat wo have here and what this constituency requires and deserves at the\nhands of the other members of the\nfederal parliament nnd government,\none realizes that it is a big task.\nProtection for Lumbar.\n\"Take tho lumber industry; we have\nlumber sufficient to supply the needs\nof all tho rest of Canada, and then\nsome. And right at our doors we have,\nIf only It can be conserved to us, a\nmarket for our lumber that is growing\nday by day and will continue to grow\nfor the next GO years, and any man\nwho can accomplish that particular\nthing is one of whom Kootenay may\nbe proud. -. I am not going to claim toil ght that I alone can accomplish that\nthing, but I will say to you that in\nmy heart I believe that with the experience I have had In the political\ngame In the province of British Co-\nlumb a, and the Intimate knowledge 1\nhave of the people who compose the\ngovernment of Canada, and my knowledge of politics generally and of the\nway the country is governed, as well\nai my long familiarity with this portion of the province and Its natural\nconditions, I believe I can do as much\nat least ns any other man in this province toward bringing about that end.\n(Applause.) it is no tight task, as I\nsuy, to go to Ottawa among 200 and\nmore members from alt parts of Canada and there see that the requirements of this district are always given\nthe consideration they deserve, und a\nman is not going to get everything he\nwants ;tt all times-\u2014that would be too\nmuch to expect\u2014but yet we are all\nCanadians, nnd the members of the\nhouse of commons and of the government are reasonable men, and while\nwe have a reasonable proposition to\nput before them and it is put before\nthem in a reasonable way, and they\nare convinced that what we ask is\nsomething we are rightly entitled to,\nthey will help us out; so I believe the\nlime is now at hand when we shall\nget a better measure of protection for\nthis, one of our main industries, our\ntimber,\nMarket for Fruit.\n\"A short time ugo we heard a great\ndeal about reciprocity. 1 am not go\nIng to talk about that tonight, bqt\nsimply to say lhat what has been said\nas to the need of protection for our\nlumber industry applies equally to\nother Industry that interests you In\nthis section, our fruit, ln connection\nwith which we have at our door\nwe have in connection with our lumber trade, n large und cousinnliy\ngrowing natural market. There is no\ncompetition In the production of fruit\nhetween us and our neighbors in thn;\nN'ort Invest territories, because they\nnever can grow fruit.

Numerous points have arisen\nand may hereafter arise upon those\nprovisions of the act which draw the\nitvidlng line between what belongs to\nthe Dominion or the provinces respectively. General terms nre necessarily\nused ln describing what either Is to\nhave and with the use of general terms\ncomes tlie risk of confusion whenever\na case arises in which It can be said\nthat the power claimed falls within the\njurisdiction of the Dominion and also\nwithin the jurisdiction of the provinces.\nIt Is argued indeed that the Dominion act authorizing questions to bo\nasked of the supreme court- Is an Invasion of provincial rights, but not he-\ncaur.c lho power of asking such tnies-\n-ttjS? behir-f--; eyclusivelv to the provinces.

It depends upon\nwhether such power is repugnant to\nthat act. The province-* by counsel\nmaintain In effect the affirmative and\nsay that when the court of appeal\nfrom all the provincial courts is authorized lhat carries with It an implied condition that the court of appeals shall bo In truth a judfclal body\naccording to the conception of a judicial character obtaining in civilized\ncountries nnd especially obtaining In\nGreat Britain, to whose* constitution\nthat of Canada Is intended to be similar nnd they say that to place the\nnet of answering ciuestions such ns\ntho Canadian act under consideration\ndoes require that court to answer, Is\nincompatible with the mahttainonco of\nsuch judicial character or of public\neoulidenco tn tt or with free access to\nan unbiased tribunal of appeal to\nWlilch litigants in provincial courts arc\nof light entitled.\nThis argument said Hie lord chancellor in truth arraigns the lawfulness of\nso treating a court upon Hie ground\nthat a court liable to ho so treated\nceases to bo such a judiciary as the\nconstitution provides, for the argument on behalf of the provinces was\npresented substantially as just stated\nthough not in these identical words.\nbut, however, presented no argument\nwhich falls short of llila could claim\nserious attention. If. notwithstanding\nits liability to answer (niestions, th?\nCanndian supremo court is still a judiciary within the moaning of the British Norlh America act, then there Is\nno ground for saying that the im-\npunged Canadian act is ultra vires.\nThe lord chancellor went on to deal\nexhaustively with precedents likely\nto bo of use In determining the present\nappeal.\nContinuing the lord chancellor said\nthat It appeared that the Idea of the\nciuestions being put by the executive\ngovernment to the supreme court of\nCanada was suggested in the first instance by the fourth section of the\nnet of King William IA', for Hie earliest Canadian act on this subject,\nthat of 1S75, adopts in effect the* words\nof the fourth section. This analogy\nno doubt has some value Inasmuch as\nthis committee of the privy council,\nexercising the most important judicial\nfunctions, Is undoubtedly liable to be\nasked questions of any kind by authority of the crown nnd this procedure is actually used from time to lime\nthough rarely, and with careful regard to the nature of the reference.\nOn the other hand, it must lie remembered that members of the judicial\nromni.ittoo .^ro j-j.11 .privy councilors\nand bound as such to advise the crown\nwhen so requested In that capacity.\nUpon the whole, it does seem strange\nlhat a court, for such In effect It Is.\nshould have been for three-quarters of\na century liable to answer questions\nput by the crown antl should have done\nit without the least suggestion of impropriety or Inconvenience, if the same\nthing when attempted In Canada deserves to bo stigmatized as subversive\nof the judicial functions.\nPractice in Canada\nIt. is more to tlio purpose, went on\nbis lordship, to consider what has been\nthe practice in Canada under the British North America act and how that\npractice \/lias boon regarded by the\ncourts and the judicial committee of\nthe privy council. By the terms of\nthe 1875 act any question might be put\nto the supreme court. In 1001 and\nagain in 1008 frcsli acts were passed\nproviding for the samo thing In more\ndetailed though not in wider terms and\nit is tho 11108 net whieh has given rise\nto this appeal. Between 1875 and today the supreme court of Citnndn ha:\nbeen nsked from time to time nnd hat\nrepeatedly answered questions put tn\nit in accordance with those acts -if\ntho Canadian parliament, it la very\nimportant that In the six instances\nbetween tlie years l$7.*i and 1812 the\nanswers given by the court have been\nsubject to appeal to the judicial committee of the privy council under the\npower to appeal which was comprised\nln the Canadian acts and which gavo\nauthority to this hoard to entertain\nsuch appeals as though they were appeals from ordinary Jurisdiction. In\nall these cases the appeals were entertained. In somo cases the ans\nwers of the supreme court were modi\nfled by their lordships. In one case In\nwhich Lord Herschell delivered the\nopinion of the board, he declined tn\nanswer some** questions on the ground\nthat so dqjng might prejudice particular iflterojjW*'-. qr 'individuals. These\ncircumstances, were much and legitimately dwelt Won on behalf of the\nCanadian attorney general as showing\nthat the acts now alleged to have been\nultra vires, were in fact, acted upon\nand so treated as valid not only by\nthe court in Cnnada but also on appeal\nto Whitehall. It was urged on the\nother hand for the provinces, with perfect truth that In nn one of those cases\nwas llie point raised and that the judicial committee would he indisposed\nto raise It when the parlies to Hie appeal concurred in asking n determination. It seems that this dors not dispose of the arguments. The bonrd\nwould certainly ho at all times averse\nto talcing any objection which would\nbinder the ascertainment of any point\nof law which the parties desired in\ngood faith id havo determined, but it\nIs not ea'By to believe thai if there is\nany force In the contention of the\npresent appellants the Judicial committee would hnve so often failed even\nto advert to. a departure so serious,\nns It is now maintained, from what !s\ndue to the independence and character\nof courts of justice. It Is clear, In\ndeed, that no such npprohcnslon ever\noccurred to any of the great lawyers\nwho heard these cases. That circumstance militates very strongly against\ntho view now put forward that it is\nrepugnant to the British Norlh America act and subversive of justice to\nrequire the Canadian supremo court to\nanswer questions not hi litigation,\nGreat weight ought also to be attached\nto another significant circumstance.\nNenrly all the provinces have themselves passed provincial laws requiring\ntheir own' courts to answer questions\nnot ln litigation In terms somewhat\nsimilar to tho Dominion act which they\nnow impugn. Tf it he said, as It was\nsaid, that section No, 101 of the British\nNorth America act forbids this being\ndone by the Dominion parliament, that\nargument cannot apply to provincial\nlegislatures because Section 101 does\nnot apply to the provinces.\nEither then, those provincial nets\nnro valid whllo the similar act passed\nby the Dominion is invalid, wlilch appears very strange, or the provincial\nacts as well as the Dominion are ultra\nvires upon the general grounds already dwelt ob. that a court of justice\nceases In effect to he a. court of justice whop such a duty is laid upon it.\n' Why Point Raised\nCertainly, it is remarkable) that for\n35 years this, point of view has apparently escaped notice, In Canada and u\ncontrary view now Is said to menace\ntlio very essence of justice that, has\nheen tranquilly acted upon without\nquestion .by the legislatures of the Dominion nnd provinces, hy the courts In\nCanada and by the judicial committee\never since the British Norlh America\nact established the present constitution of Canada. It is difficult to resist the conclusion thai the point now\nraised never would liave been raised\nhad it not btjen for the nature of the\nquestions whloh have been put to the\nsupreme court. If Ihe questions to\ntho court had boon limited to such ns\nare In practice, put to tho Judicial\ncommittee for instance, must justices\nof the peace nnd fudges bo resworn\nafter the. demise, of the crown, .no one\nwould have thought of saying lt was\nultra vires, because the power conferred by the Canadian act, which is\nnot and could not bo wider in ils terms\nthan lhat of William IV aplplcable to\nthe judicial committee, has resulted\nIn asking questions affecting the provinces, or alteged to do so, but the ans*\nWers are only advisory nnd will nn\nmore affect limn tho opinion of law\nofficers. Perhaps; another reason is\nthat the. act has resulted In asking it\nseries of searching questions very difficult to answer exhaustively and accurately without so many qualifications and reservations as to make tho\nanswers of little value. The supreme\ncourt Itself can, however, either point\nout In its answer these or other considerations of a like kind or can makn\ntbo necessary represent a tions to tin\ngovernor general in fcouncll when it\nthinks right so to treat nny question\nthat may be put and the parliament\nof Canada can control the action\nthe executive. Yet, tho argunient lhat\ntu put questions is ultra vires must.\nbo tho same whero the power is rightly\nor wrongly used. If you say that it is\nulna vires Id put some kinds of ques-\ntions, but not ultra vires to put other\nkinds of questions, then you will have\nto draw the line between what may be\nasked a'nd what may not bo nsked.\nThat must depend upon what it Is judicious or wlso to ask and cam In no\nsense rest upon the considerations of\ntlie\nWhat In substance their lordships\naro asked to do, Is to say that the Ca\nnadlan parliament ought not to pass\nlaws Hho this because It may be cm\nbarraaslng and onerous to a court and\nlo declare this law invalid because it\nought not to have been passed. Their\nlordships would be departing from\nIhelr legitimate province if they en\ntertalned tho arguments of the appel\nhint.1*!.

FOSTER, Editor and Manager.\nFRIDAY, MAY 17\n'JBBBffl\nUMNRQF\nYESTERDAY'S CONVENTION\n- Of the choice of yesterday's Conservative convention little is necessary\nto be said. Mr. R. P, Green, the candidate, has been connected with Kootenay for the past 27 years and for\nmost of that time has been a resident\nof the district. He went through the\nhardships of pioneering in the Kootenny, lie saw the coming and the going\nof the mining boom but not for one\nmoment has he ever shown any evidence of loss of confidence in the\ncountry or its future. For more than\na cjuarter of u century he has been\nfirst, last and always a Kootenny man.\nKootenay's Interests have always been\nhis first consideration und Kootenay\nlias benefited as a result.\nAs a member of parliament, supporting the government, Mr. Green will\nhe in a position to render the people\nof Kootenay better service than ever\nbefore, for Kootenay at the present\ntime has ils problems to face. Chief\namong these may be mentioned the\nsituation-in regard to the lumber industry and ihe question of the continuance of the lead bounty or the\nsubstitution therefor of an adequate\nmeasure of protection for load and lead\nproducts. In addition the interests of\nthn- fruit growers of Hie Kootenay require careful attention, especially\nshould there he any revision of the\ntariff within the life of the present\nparliament.\nit stands to reason that, a supporter\nof the government should hnve more\nWeight in respect to each of these matters than could any opposition member\npossibly hope to have, especially when\nUie government supporter would be a\nman of Mr. Green's ripe experience\nnnd energy. Mr. Green thoroughly -understands the needs and the requirements of the Kootenay. If elected, he\ncan be trusted to place these needs\nand requirements before the govern\nment at Ottawa in no uncertoin manner. Mr. Green in theso matters, as\nwell as In all others appertaining to\nthe welfare and the advancement of\nKootenay, can be fully trusted to do\nh's full duty to the people of this constituency as he has never failed to dn\nin the past. As a member of Hie house\nf commons, however, he will be In a\nposition to render Kootenay better\nservice than ever before.\nThe question for the people of Kootenay to deckle in the present by-\nelection is whether ihey desire the\nbenefit of these services. The matter\ns one for the electors of Kootenay. lt\ns for them to say.\nTHE CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE\nIn open convention the Conserva-\nIves \u25a0 of Kootenny yesterday selected\ndr. It, l-\\ Green of Victoria as tholr\ntandnnl hearer in the by-election\nendered necessary by the retirement\nof Mr. A. S. Goodeve to accept a posi-\non the Dominion railway commission. The names of two others, either\nof whom would have made a. credit-\n\u25a0ible representative of Kootenay at\nOttawa, were submitted to the nom-\nting convention, but the delegates\non the first ballot declared In Mr.\nreen's favor and he is, therefore, today the Conservative candidate nnd as\nh is entitled to, and The Dally\nNews believes, will receive the enthusiastic and the loyal support of\nvery member of the party iiii Koot-\nniiy as well as the large body of\nindependent electors who on Septem-\n\u25a0r 21 last declared their desire for a\nlange in administration and their\nIth in Mr. it. L, Borden by voting\nr Mr, A. S. Goodeve,\nIt may be said that the issues now\ne not the same as they were in September hist. In reply lt must be\npointed out that the issue is to all Intents and purposes Hie same. The\npolicy enunciated by Mr. Borden pre-\nlous to the general election of September was one of Canada for Canadians. The policy of Mr. Borden and\nof his government in power is that of\n'anada for lhe Canadians. The people\nf Kootenay, ns well as of Canada\nenorally, iu September last declared\ny their votes in favor of such a pol-\n\u25a0y. lias anything happened since\nlion that would cause the people of\nCootenay to reverse their verdict in\nthis matter? Tliat Is the question\nwhich the people of Kootenny must\nanswer by the result of the present\nby-election.\nAs was pointed out by Mr. Green In\nhis speech in the opera house last\nevening, Kootenay has three chief industries, lumbering, fruit growing and\nmining, each and every one of which is\nentitled lo a fair measure of protection and to reasonable assistance in\nother ways.
