C\u201e Feb. 27.\u2014\"I believe that the time has now come for\nthe building of a railroad through\nnorthern British Columbia to the Yukon and Alaska and I may say that\nthe authorities at Washington and\nOttawa have both gone so far as to\nheartily endorse some project of cooperation fn the building of this line.\"\nIn these words Sir Richard McBride\nat this afternoon's session of the legislature discussed the possibilities of\nthe early evolution of a scheme which\nhe is known to have had closely at\nheart for many months.\nThe premier was speaking on the\nsecond reading of the bill grnntlng\nfurther aid to the Pacific Great Eastern railway and took occasion to point\nout that the extension into the Peace\nriver country would be an initial step\ntoward the construction of a. north\nand south railway. He said that from\nFort George the Hue would go directly\nnorth to the Parsnip river --before\nbranching into the Peace river country and that this section of the line\nmight* ultimately be used as the first\nstep in the extension to Alaska.\n\"The building of this railway would\nput Alaska on the map,\" said the premier. \"British Columbia occupies the\nunique position of being located between parts of the great union ot this\ncontinent both to the north and thc\nsouth. And while the construction\nof this arterial line opens up tremendous possibilities for our cousins beyond the boundary line, yet, we must\nnot -forget that it would develop the\nenormous potential wealth in the\nnorthern area of this province and db\nmore than anything else could do to\ncement the friendship and amity of\nthe two great nations of this continent.\n\"It seeins to me that the Hon\nFranklin K. Lane, minister of the Interior for the United States, has made\nan epoch in national and even Inter\nnational history when he secured the\npassage of a bill appropriating ?3f\n000,000 for the development of a national railway system for Alaska. I\nhave attempted to cultivate Interest\nin the British Columbia-Yukon road\nand since tills province Is bound to\nprofit materially by its construction\nwhere should there be more Interest\nIn the matter than ln British Columbia.\"\nThe premier went on to explain\nthat tlie project was too expensive\nfor tlio province to take up single\nhanded at the present time, but lie\nsaid that lie* believed that this was\nthe only reason why they should withhold from pressing further on at once.\nBut he said that It lay within th\nstrength of Washington and Otjawa to\napproach tlio project and by giving\nit life and so secure its completion\nwithin the next five years. In refer\nring to the Hudson Bay railway tlic\npremier said that bgth Liberals and\nConservatives in the province had\nagreed as to the justification of building a Hue.\n\"I do not hesitate, how-9\"er, to say,\"\nsaid the premier, \"that the opening\nof tiie British Columbia-Yukon and\nAlaska railroad would be 10 tlnn\nmore valuable than the completion of\ntho Hudson Hay line.\n\"Wo pride ourselves on the northern\narea of our province, but what good\nIb It all to us if it Is not developed\nAnd this can only take place by the\nextension of our nortli and south line.\"\nThe premier referred to the coming\ncelebration of the centenary of peace\non this continent and he said that he\nknew of no moro fitting way of holding this festival than by the arrangement to involve the completion oC the\nline operated under a joint hfgh commission. He explained that it was\nhla opinion that nothing had donc so\nmuch to cement the friendship between the two nations of Canada and\nthe United States as the defeat of\nreciprocity, \"It showed our cousins\nthat we stand on our own responsibilities and while we rejoice In the prosperity of the United States yet we\nrespect and love all the more the land\nin which we live and the flag which\nwe have been taught to honor.\"\nThe premier Baid that he hoped that\nthe building of the Peace river branch\nwould mean bringing into immediate\nrruitiou this wonderful propect. He ridiculed tho pessimism of those pimple who said that the project was too\nlarge and declared that the west was\na country for large men and that even\nnature In this part of tbe world had\nbeen planned on a large scale.\nBefore leaving the subject tlie premier referred briefly to the strategical value of such a line.

For there is another world to conquer, and the conquest of that world promises to tax\nthe boldest spirits of the race. Wffen\nKipling can speak as he did ol \"the\nlost ports of New York and Bombay,\"\nwithout giving occasion for derision\nand scepticism, tbe evidence is very\nplain that the conquest of Ihat other\nworld haB already begun.\nWith the recent great increase In\nthe efficiency of our methods of transportation and communication, the\nworld has grown perceptibly smaller.\nBut the universe seems to be opening\nout, giving men an opportunity to\nstretch further back the limits of human accomplishment, while allurements unknown and unsuspected In\nformer times have lent their influence\nto Inspire the spirit of man, these\ndays, with new ambitions. Perhaps\none of the great blessings of this new\nconception will be to turn the thoughts\nof men from the desire to make war\non their fellows, as they realize that\nthere are triumphs to be won as glorious as any in the past which do not\ndemand as the price of their realization tbe crushing out of human lives\nand the agony of innocent people.

The boy worked\non his father's little farm till the\npillage pjilest, discovering his line\nqualities, sent him to college. At the\nage of 21 he was ordained a priest,\nand went as a missionary to Pembina,\nwhere he was) Initiated into all the\ndistlaetlve experiences of life on the\nplains\u2014before Winnipeg had biegun\nto be\u2014Including buffalo hunting, long\njourneys afoot, and sojourns In Indian\ntepees. In 1852 he joined the Oblate\norder, and immediately afterwards\nwas assigned work in th Edmonton\ndistrict. Here his labors were inces-\n.sant.

D.. Allan of the Toronto board\nof trade produced bills of lading for\ngoods purchased in Leipslc, Germany,\n400 miles from tbe ocean, and from\npoints In Italy, and even In China,\ncomparing them with bills of lading\nfrom Liverpool and London to show\nthat the same merchandise could be\nshipped from the interior to Europe\nor tihe. heart of Chile to Montreal or\nToronto more cheaply than it could\nbe brought from any British port. The\nocean freight rates have risen so\nrapidly, he Bald, that his own firm\nhad become compelled in recent years\nto purchase In Italy, Germany and other foreign countries, the goods which\nformerly had always been bought in\nEngland.\nMr. Allan said that Russia owned\nand operated a system of steamers\nplvlng bet-wean St. Petersburg and\nother Russian ports to British ports\naa well. These veseels were of 40,000\ntons and cost in the neighborhood of\n$250,000 each. He saw no Teaaon why\ntihe government of Canada could not\nbuild similar Vessels for the Atlantic\nservice at the same price, But even\nIf they, cost twice as much, Canada\ncan, with the expenditure of $5,000,-\n000, build 10 shin with an aggregate\ntonnage of 60,000. These would be\nsufficient to transport the whole of\nthe wheat and flour trade of Canada.\nWould Be Profitable.\nPremier Borden asked If it was\nthought that these ships would be run\nat a profit or at a loss. He was told\nthat there would be a profit, and be\nasked why some private company did\nnot enter the field. The reply ihe received was that the combine would\nsoon destroy any private company by\nruinous competition, or force it to\nenter their ranks. The government\nwould be strong enough to fight the\ncombine.\nThe suggestion as made by Hon. W.\nT. White that it might pay a milling\ncompany to own a couple of steamers to transort Its own wheat and\nflour.\nC. B. Watts, secretary of the Dominion Millers' association, who had\nplaced the case against free wheat,\nsaid in reply that no one mill had\nsuffiscfent capar'ty to justify such an\noutlay. If a number of the big mills\ncombined the smaller millers would be\nas badly off as before. He added that\nthere were 600 flour mills in Canada\nengaged In keen competition.\nPremier Borden admitted that there\nwaa no doubt but that ocean freight\nrates had increased to a marked extent in recent years. There were very\ngood reasons for believing that the\nresult had followed upon a combination of shipping companies. The first\nquestion should bp directed to their\ncapitalization, prof Its... expenses, etc.\nThey should try and And out the relation of Increase In rates to increase In\nexpenses. The premier said If they\nwere making undue profits the millers\nand farmers might combine in forming a steamship line and patronizing\nthe same. He pointed out that there\nwas great pressure upon the government to extend the measure of its\nactivity, and If granted Canada would\nsoon have the most paternal government on earth. To the request that\nnothing be done in regard to free\nwheat and flour, the premier and Hon.\nW. T. White promised their careful\nconsideration.\nAccording to Mr. Watts, who addressed the ministers, the result of\nfree wheat \"would be that no mills\nwould be built north of Minneapolis\nand Duluth.\"\n\"What would be the effect upon the\nfarmers respectively of the east and\nof the west?\" asked Mr. White.\n\"They will, as a whole, get lean than\nnow. As regards the east, no wheat\nIs raised for export,\" replied Mr.\nWatts.\n\"What would be the effect on the\nprice In Ontario if the duty is taken\noff?\" asked Mr. White.\n\"It possibly might raise the price a\nlittle, but our total production last year\nwaB under 15,000,000 bushelB and it\nwas all used at home,\" answered Mr.\nWatts. \"The Americans have the advantage of low priced KansaB wheat\nat tbe beginning of the season, while\nthey would have our wheat product in\nthe fall If the barrier were removed.\nThe, worst feature of all is that they\nwould be able to flood our eastern\nmarkets completely.\"\nMr. White asked about the relative\nprices 6t wheat at Minneapolis and\nWinnipeg, and Mr. Watts answered\nthat the American millers had a market -for their offal which the Canadians\ndid not have. This amounted to 2\ncents a bushel difference. \"I claim,\"\nhe said, \"that the difference ln price\nwould disappear and that it would be\nlower than It Is today for the Canadian producer. **\n\"That was Illustrated In the reciprocity vote,\" said one of the members.    \"Just as soon as the govern\nment was defeated the prlfte went\nup.\"\nW. A. Black observed that the average price In Winnipeg for two years\nhad. been higher than In Minneapolis.\n\"We must deal with the matter as it\nIs,\" said Mr. White. \"I think that,\non the general average) tne price Is\na little higher tn Minneapolis.\"\n\"One reason for that is the way\nthey utilize their by-products,\" said\nMr. Watts.\n\"Is the competition In Canada as\nkeen as It might be?\" asked Mr.\nWhite.\nMr. Black's reply was that the Canadian mlllerB often paid 6 cents a bushel more for wheat than in the stateB.\nThen Mr. Watts stated that the Ontario mills would be closed up completely if wheat were made free, because of the nearness of the American\nmills to the available crops.\nMr. Black explained this by saying\nthat the flour which sold In London\nat $4.18 a barrel was -fourth grade\nproduct: The price was determined\nby the competition.In the markets of\nthe world.\nAT THE THEATRE8\nAt the Gem theatre this afternoon\nand evening will be shown \"Jack and\nthe Beanstnlk,\" a specially selected\nfeature for the old and the young,\nThis story has been taken from the\nold fairy tale and has been shown with\ngreat success in the large cities.\nPathe's Weekly, the latest foreign\nnews, and \"Two Men and a Mule,\" 20\nminutes of real merriment, make a\ngood program.\nEVANTUREL NOT READY\nTO EXPLAIN LETTER\n\"    (Bv Pnilv News Leased  Wirei\nTORONTO, Feb. 27.\u2014Gustave Evnn-\nturel, M.

SMITH has a dry goods store in a certain Canadian City. He does a good business, but wants\nto do more. He believes that Advertising in his local newspaper is the\nway to get more business. So he advertises\u2014every now and then.\nThis is where our friend Smith is wrong\u2014in advertising every now and,\nthen. He should advertise regularly\u2014as frequently as his local newspaper\nis published.\nSmith says he wants to advertise regularly, but he can't always iind the time\nto prepare advertisements, which is true, for he is his own buyer, sales-\nmanager, director of store service, credit man and half-a-dozen other things.\nWhat Smith should do is this: If he is located in one of the smaller cities, in\nwhich there are no advertising agencies giving a local copy service, and he\nhas no one among his own staff qualified by instinct or experience to\nwrite the daily announcements, he should go to the publisher of the newspaper in which he means to advertise, requesting his help. In nine cases\nout of ten, the publisher, through his advertising manager, wilt be only too\nglad to give Smith the assistance desired.\nIf Smith is located in one of the larger cities he should secure the services\nof a recognized advertising agency which will take over the work of preparing his advertisements. . i -'! (mi      j,\nIn this way Smith can be sure of having his advertisements prepared reg--\nularly and intelligently, with no more trouble to him than the supplying or-\" '\nthe information required by the writer of the advertisements.\nSo Smith can do more business, and 'more business means a larger income\nfor himself, to say nothing of other gains that go hand in hand with the\ndoing of bigger business.\nThis man Smith\u2014do you know him?\nAre YOU Smith?\nIf you are doing a local business talk over your advertising problem! with lh* Advertising Department of this newapaper.\nIf you are doing a provincial or national business it would be well for you to have\nthe counsel and assistance of a good advertising agency.

Like\nso many other things it seems almost\ntoo good to be true, but, nevertheless,\nwhp could look out on.the lovely soft\nblue flky this Wednesday and find it\nin-th^lr heart to doubt. To those of\nus who have lived here for IB or 20\nyears it does not seem impossible thnt\nspring should come early in March,\nfor we used to find winters like this\nthe rule and not the exception and I\nhave more than once picnicked along'\nthe lake shores in March. Anyway, let\nlis be trustful of the good intentions\nof Mother Nature and believe that sho\nwill be as good ns her word, and that\nwhen she tells us as plainly as she\ncan by tho sound of soft rain on the\nroof and rushing streams from the\nhillside that spring Is on the way she\nreally means It.\n\"Oh! hurry southwest wind, arise and\nsmite\nStrong winter on the cheek and bid\nhim go;\nScatter   his    spells   and    bid   the\nstreamlets flow;\nBreak his Ice paluce glittering keenly\nbright;\nLoosen his chains and summon to tbe\nfight\ndfrlft, whispering ruin, and let soft\nbreezes blow,\nSo shall, thy hands bind fast Earth's\nfiercest foe\nAnd make him die, this first wild wind\nswept night!\"\nThis only begins to voice my Impati\nence to seo the last of winter, though\nI realize that I ought to be ashamed of\nmyself, for surely anyone not satisfied\nwith tho sort of winter we have had\nis hnrd to please. Nevertheless the\nwarmth of the sun lifts got Into my\nveins and I can. hardly wait till the\nsnow'disappears to get Into the garden\nonce more. Yesterday 1 had a little\nlook round nnd found the primulas be-\nglning to send up new growth, while\nthe chives also were showing stout\ngi-een  spikes.\nAfter preaching to you to have faith\nIn Mother Nature It seems rather Inconsistent to warn you that If your\nbulbs are uncovered and beginning to\npush through the soil. It would be wise\nto have some sort of covering material\nhandy. In case of a severe frost or a\nbitter freezing wind, such as we sometimes have In March. Any sort of\nlitter will do, or even newspapers held\ndown by brush, or old sacks, and the\ncovering should be removed gradually\nso as not to expose the bulbs to too\nsudden a change of temperature, or the\ndirect rays of the sun after a hard\nfreeze. Another precaution It Is well\nto take nfter frost is to sprlnklo the\nplants with cold water, this proving\nefficacious also ln the case of house\nplants, which should then be kept in\nabsolute darkness till thc frost is all\ndrawn out. I saved quite a few of my\nhouse plants by this means during the\nonly cold snap we had this winter and\nthey seem none the worse now, though\nthey were frozen stiff.\n-What really convinces me that\nspring Is here Is the look of some\nlittle seedlings that are, making their.\nappearance. I put in the seeds on the\n13th, more than a month earlier than\nlast year, and when I see th-. small\nthings'holding out their tiny leaves so\nbravely It seems to advance the season\ntremendously. Then, too, my daffodils\nand hyacinths are making a great\nshow and the air is full of perfume,\nand today I heard birds, though I\ncould not see them. On the whole, It\nIs wisest to act as if we were to have\na very early spring and get your seeds\nof tomato, pepper and other extra\nearly things started at once.\nJust now, when there are ao many\nthings clamoring to be done, sprlng\ncleanlng, sewing and alt the thousand\nand one duties that claim one, it Is\nwell to get the right viewpoint on the\nsubject of work. Today I was- reading an article that gave rather an odd\nslant to my thoughts, as the author\nbegan by commiserating the unhappy\nrich people who can have everything\ndone for them and congratulating\nthose whose circumstances compelled\nthem to do the wonderful, necessary\nthings of life. As she put It: \"If you\nare facing the problem of just bare\nliving\u2014you are facing the call to,\ngreatness.\" At first glance one would\nnot just choose that sort of problem,\nbut looking a little deeper Into it I\nam not sure but the idea is really correct and that it Is when faced by\ndifficulty and the need of doing the\nseemingly impossible thing, that we\nget a chance to show\u2014to ourselves at\nleast\u2014just what stuff we ure made of,\nand to touch the real heights of living.\nI am sure many of you feel discouraged at times, especially ut this time\nof year, when the glorious sunshine,\namong other jobs, takes on tho one of\nshowing up tbe dust und grime, the\nthreadbare and shabby places, and you\nwonder where the time and money are\ncoming from to better conditions. I\nget this rushed feeling myself, when I\nrealize how much thero la to be done,\nand how slow 1 am, but according to\nmy text this is Just the time wben\none should cheer up and say \"Hurrah!\nnow I am going to get a chance to\nlive up to my limit, to use nil my\npowers in solving something out of\nnothing and making a success of my\nlife.\"\nThe longer I live tbe surer I am\nthat \"work Is the greatest joy of life,\"\nand the busiest people ure the most to\nbe envied, and not as we once supposed those who have nothing to do,\nJust think ii minute. Have you ever\nhad anything to do with a \"retired\nfarmer,\" or a person who, while.not\nsick or suffering Is compelled by circumstances to do nothing? If you\nhave you will believe me when I say\nthat to have really nothing to do is\nto be the most miserable being on\nearth. I know, because some years\nago I waa unable to walk for a few\nmonths and I assure you that I was\nquite ready to work when I got a\nchance.\nThe old adage, \"All work and no\nplay makes Jack a dull boy,\" is doubtless true, but the opposite of that is\nju3t as true, only.T. Ihlnk the person\nwhose   sole   work   In   life   consists   In\namusing himself is..likely to be even\nduller than the proverbial Jock. It\nseems odd that for the last decade,\nthe aim of everyone apparently has\nbeen to arrive at such a position of\nfinancial independence, that they\nwould no longer need to work. Consciously or unconsciously that Is, about\nthe size of It, but I believe there has\nbeen a healthy reaction, and sensible\npeople are beginning to see the dignity and beauty of labor. It is to be\nhoped the pendulum will not swing\nso far that wo will revert to the type\nof woman that \"worked her fingers to\nthe bone\" doing unnecessary things,\nbut I don't think there ls much danger of that.\nSeriously, though, Instead of bemoaning the fad Of having so much\n.to do, we should rejoice that we have\na place in this busy world, someone to\nlove and work for, and health and wit\nenough to accomplish our tasks. Tu\nmake a real home for our dear ones\nin this new country, to bring benuty\nand comfort into the lives of our children, to make a garden to smile on\nthe world; all or any of these things\nis a privilege and not a-trial.\nThe old idea that work Is a curse\nmay be traced clear back to the Garden of Eden, I suppose, but, surely,\nwhoever interpreted the sentence, \"In\nthe sweat of thy brow shalt thou eat\nbread\" as a curse and a. punishment\nmust have been mistaken, for only the\nbread we have earned and the luxuries we have secured by our own efforts are ever thoroughly enjoyed, In\nsaying this, I wish to be clearly understood as referring not to the earning of bread or luxuries by work outside the home, though, of course, the\nsame rule applies there, but to the\nearning of these things by the most\nImportant work in the world, the work\nof th(*   homemaker.\nDo I seem to preach? You must\nplease forgive me, for I am preaching\nto myself far more than to others, and\ntrying t0 encoura-gs myself to qet busy\nand accomplish something worth\nwhile. When I look round and see the\nhundred and one things that need doing both Inside and outside the house,\nand realize Just how little I have got\ndone in all the years I have lived here.\n1 >t quite down hearted and feel lhe\nneed of a sermon to inspire me for a\nfresh start. I encourage myself by\nrecalling how much 1 enjoyed doing\nsuch and such a thing, and the delightful feeling thut rewarded me when\nsome one thing had been accomplished, some piece of work finished and\npronounced good. You remember how\nhappy you were when you decided you\ncould not stand those dingy old walls\na minute longer und got to work ahd\npapered them yourself, or when you\npainted all thc woodwork In the kitchen, or evolved new curtains out of\nsome old muslin dress. All these were\nsimple, homely tasks, but they brought\nyou just as much Joy and satisfaction\nin the doing as If they were the most\nelaborate and complicated piece of\nwork and twice us much as the same\ntime spent in idleness.\nThis spring I have dozens of special\nthings to do. and I am going to go ai\nthem joyfully and get every bit of\npleasure out of doing them that can\npossibly be had. My brain teems with\nideas for Improving the house, the\ngarden and the whole ranch, and 1\nknow the days will be all too short to\nget. half I shall want to  do done.    1\nTO RELIEVE RHEUMATISM\nthe body-waste producing uric acid must be\ngradually arrested and the blood purified.\nCorrect diet is essential  Abstain from tea\nand anything containing alcohol;  eat meat\nonly once a day and take SCOTT'S EMULSION\nafter every meal.\nSCOTT'S EMULSION makes new blood free\nfrom the poisonous products which irritate the\njoints and muscles; its medicinal force relieves\n(he enlarged, stiffened joints; and more,\nSCOTT'S EMULSION stimulates the forces to\nexpel the poisonous acids by its concentrated nourishing properties.\nPhysicians everywhere prescribe\nScott's Emulsion for rheumatism*\nEVERY DRUGGIST HAS IT.\n\u2014\u2014gPPCBMMI.I WIIIIM !!\u25a0\nthink I cannot do better than finish\nthis little \"Gossip\" by copying for you\na little scrap from my book of clippings, It Is by Edith Wharton and\ngoes like this: \"To a sound nature,\nwhich finds Its natural outlet In fruitful action, nothing eo simplifies tbe\ncomplexities of life, so lends itself to\na large acceptance of Its vicissitudes\nand mysteries as tbe sense of doing\nsomething eneh day towards clearing\none's own bit of wilderness.\"\nSENATOR  STONE   ON  COFFEE\nSenator Stone of Missouri is a lover\nof coffee ami unless it ls both strong\nand good the waiter at restaurant or\nhotel hears from him.

Until the dredging and\nharbor work were completed there\nwould naturally be more or less\ntrouble.\nThis reply did not satisfy Mr. Oliver,\nWho thought that Mr. Hazen was trying to shift the responsibility. He said\nthe n^nlstor apparently bud no appreciation of the seriousness of the slt-\n. lion. Out of seven vessels sent up,\nonly three were able to land their\ncargoes. .*\nMr. Hazen retorted that the failure\nof these' vessels to land their cargo\nwas not due to any fault of the marine department, but to the lack of terminal facilities. Mr. Oliver could\nhardly expect modern facilities when\nIhesc vessels were sent up there to\nestablish them.\nMr. Oliver still insisted that Mr.\nHazen was not giving a satisfactory\nanswer. No matter whoso fault It\nwas, the facts were that most of the\ncargoes had to be returned and the\nwork tbla summer would, as a result,\nbe greatly hampered. The department\nand thc government, he said, had been\nplaced In tbe worst possible light as\ntho result bf last season's operations, i\nMr. Hazen replied that this was not I\nthe fault of any department. The\ntrouble was due to natural conditions\nwhich had to be met. However, It\nwus thc duty of the opposition to\nblame the government and he would\nforgive the member for Edmonton.\nMr. Oliver then.asked If the department had outlined a1 scheme of action.\nMr. Hazen said his department had\nnothing to do With the development of\nthe port. The department wag interested only In aids to navigation. .The\nsurvey, had been completed and they\nwere now In a position to go ahead.\nMr. Oliver thought it vns an astonishing thing that tho minister of marine could give no Idea of the plans If\nthey had any, which, be said, he\nrather doubted.\nMr. Hazen said that this statement\nwas hardly fair. The engineer of the\nrailway department had been working\non the whole project and computing\nthe cost,\nThe member for Edmonton, he said,\nwus not warranted in coming to the\nconclusion he had reached. Mr,\nOliver, In closing, said that he accepted Mr. Hazen's statement and\nwould seek thc information he wanted\nfrom thc minister of railways at the\nfirst opportunity.\nW. E. Knowles, .Moose .Taw, asked if\na successor hnd been appointed to\nJudge -Tohnsto.ie in the supreme court\nof Saskatchewan.\nHon. C, ,T. Doherty said the matter\nwas now engaging lhe department's\nattention.\nFisheries Bill\nHon. .1. D, Ha'.en secured second\nreading for his fisheries and fishing\nbill and It was then sent on thc marine and fisheries committee for consideration.\nRight Hon. R. D. Borden introduced\na bill to amend the act relating to the\nestablishment and the expenses of tho\nInternational joint commission of the\n.waterways conimlssion of lfl09.w __; ;\n Dismissals\nG. W. Kyte, Richmond, criticized\nthe minister of marine for dismissals\nin bis province. He said outside of the\npostmaster-general's department there\nwore no dismissals so unjustifiable as\nthose of thc minister of marine and\nfisheries.\nDr. Schaffner, Souris said, that he\nwas not sure whether thc word \"sickening\" was parliamentary or not. It\nIt was not, It was the word he wished\nto use to describe his feelings toward\nthc repetitions of speeches on the\nquestion of dismissals. BVeryone knew\nthat whenever there was a change of\ngovernment in Canada there was an\ninclination to change officials. He\nwould not say It was a right principle.\nThere were 70 poslmtistera in bis riding and when the Liberals came into\npower in ISflll all but four were dismissed by the Hon. Clifford Sifton,\nOn thc other hand, since the Conservatives had assumed office there have\nbeen ,but five men discharged and all\nfor active partisanship. It was his\noplhion that the government, had a\ntremendous amount ot patience. Tn\ncldaing, ho ijdvlsbd the' cabinet minister not to take too seriously tlio Liberals' speeches. \u25a0\nF. B. Carvell, 'Cnrleloit, thought Dr.\nSchaffner had a real grievance. The\nmember fur Souris was certainly unjustly discriminated ngalnst if tho\npostmaster-general demanded n'n: Inquiry before hc dismissed an official.\nIn his riding there were no Investigations, the Liberal postmasters were\nsimply told tu get out.\nArthur D. Foster eulogized both the\nposlmaster-general and the minister nf\nmarine nnd fisheries for tlie work they\nhud done since they, hud assumed\noffice. The country was proud of\nthem. The o.ily criticism was that\nthey had not,dismissed half enough.\nHon. Frank Ollvoi* said that the\nprinciple laid down by the.Conservatives for dismissals of officials waa\nono worthy of being taken notice of by\nthe people of Canada. In 1396 In Alberta not a man was dismissed on\naccount of his political vlcwa unless\nthere was grave cause for his dismissal. Hc knew that in the district of\nEdmonton government officials did not\ntake an active pnrt ln politics, yet\nthere were some dismissals without\ninquiries. An Immigration official was\nfired and  tlitit'e  was appointed  tn his\nplace a president of the Conservative\nassociation.\nA.'C. Boyce, West Algoma, interjected that Mr. Oliver had promoted a\nconvicted thief. \u2022\nMr. Oliver at once objected and asked for a withdrawal.\nMr. Boyce replied tiiat the matter\nwas up in the house, a resolution was\nIntroduced and , the records of the\nhouse showed that in a certain Instance one Philip Wagner, convicted,\nthief, after his conviction took an active part In politics and was promoted\nto a higher position.\nMr. Oliver\u2014That is untrue. The\nhon. member must take it back. I ask\nfor.the protection of the house. The\nstatement is false.\nMr. Boyce\u2014There was a resolution\nin the house. The facts were substantiated, I can't see how 'I can\ntake back what Is true.\nMr. Oliver appealed to the chair and\nasked If hc was to havo protection,\nHon. Charles Marcil, an ex-speaker\nof the house, rose to point out that tho\nword of a member had to be accepted\nwhen he denied a statement.\n\"I am bound to accept the word of\ntho hon. member,\" said Mr. Boyce,\n\"though I must Insist thoy arc not\nconsistent with the facts as they were\nplaced in this house:\"\n\"I want an unqualified denial,\" said\nMr. Oliver, \"that Is not enough.\"\nThe chairman ruled that Mr. Boyco\nmust accept the word of thc member for Edmonton., '\n\"I bow to the ruling,\" replied the\nmember for West Algoma, \"1 was only\nstating facts.\"\n\"1 want the impression withdrawn,\"\nsaid Mr. Oliver, while tho house roared with laughter,\nChairman Blondln thought that tho\nmember for West Algoma bad withdrawn thc statement and that was sufficient. Mr. Oliver was not satlsf.cd-\nHe still wanted the Impression withdrawn. He asked for the protection of\nthe house. As the member for West\nAlgoma showd no sign of withdrawing tho impression, Mr. Oliver said\nhe would have to proceed without the\nprotection of the houso.\nContinuing, thc member for Edmonton said that Canada had never seen\nsuch a carnival of dismissals as took\nplace In 1911. The situation was such\nas to make every Canadian hang his\nhead with shame.\nHon, J. D. Hazen gave some Information which had been asked for by\nG. W. Kyte as to the number o\u00a3 dismissals in his department,    '-\n\"There are now,\" said the minister,\n\"7,000 employes In the marine and\nfisheries departments, and -ilO have\nbeen dismissed since the Conservatives camo into power. This I\nper cent. In 18E16 there were 2,000\nemployes in the same service and the\ndismissals numbered 420, or 16 per\ncent.\"\nABSENT  FROM  HOUSE\nBUT WRITES EDITORIALS\nfBv Dallv New-- Leased   WirM\nOTTAWA, Feh.
