OE SOMME\nREDUCED BY THEIR LACK OF CONSTRUCTIVE\nPOLICY TO VILIFICATION OF OPPONENTS\nUpon charges and Insinuations against the government alone are the\nLiberal leaders and the Liberal candidates basing their appeal to the\nelectors. They say that because of these charges a government whicli is\nputting into effect a constructive policy for the development of the province should lie thrown out and the Liberals, who offer no constructive\npolicy to take the place of that Lhey would defeat, should lie placed In\ncontrol of provincial affairs.\nNow what nre these charges? They have been made nnd reiterated\nby the Liberal leaders, hy Liberal candidates and Liberal campaign\nspeakers and press. Thoy centre on the parliament buildings, the Pacific\nGreat Eastern railway, the Kltsilano reserve, tiie Songhees reserve, the\nDominion Trust, the sale of Renfrew lands, ami the re-registration of a\nlumber company's mortgage.\nNone of these charges Is new. Every one was made prior to the\nbyelections* When tlie legislature opened last March Premier Bowser\nthrew wide the dour to Inquiry, Investigations, months of investigations,\nwere held and, now that the Liberals were given the opportunity to make\ngood their allegations against tha*premier and the government, they had\nto admit that lhey could not do so. They bad made their charges nf\ncorruption without possessing what straight-forward men usually insist\nupon possessing before impugning tlie honor or personal Integrity of an\nopponent\u2014the evidence to support their allegations.\nThey investigated dozens of transactions and were given every opportunity to probe any other charges they cared to make. The result was\nthat not a cent of money was proved to have been dishonestly spent; not\nan instance of corruption by any government member was shown.\nThe Liberal leaders were exposed by their own actions as men guilty\nof making charges against their opponents that could not ho substantiated;\nWhat, was their course when the campaign opened? Flrsl they\nrepeated the old charges. But the evidence of their own Investigations\nproved theso allegations to be unscrupulous political slanders. The next\nstep of the Liberal leaders was to .set about: to make new charges, First\nof all it: was tlie soldiers' vote. Their allegations here were given the lie\nby their own Liberal scrutineers. Then it was the Wallace shipyards\nallegation that was .so wide of ihe mark that it had to be backed tip by\ntlie use of a forged document,\nAs each charge is disproved another one is manufactured. It is all\ntlie stock in trade the Liberal spokesmen possess.\nHaving nothing to offer for stimulating lhe industries of the province\nand bringing about a condition of greater prosperity lhey are reduced to\nthe weak position of concocting charges and attacking what their opponents are doing.\ni .

They say that, 'By\ntheir fruits ye shall know them.*\n\"If that's the case, tho morals of\nProhibition may ho determined by\nthe things that liave happened under\nthe law.\n\"in several states, three of which\nare Montana, California and Missouri,\nadvertisements and news articles are\nappearing daily In newspapers, much\nsimilar in construction and tone to\nthe advertisements and arguments\nagainst Prohibition which appeared In\nthe columns of the Times prior to the\n'dry' election In Washington.\n\"There isn't so much being said\nabout the evil effects of Prohibition\non Kansas as was said in thn advertisements that appeared in Seattle.\n\"Perhapfj tliis Is . due , to the fact\nthat the men responsible for tho 'wet'\npublicity have found out what T have-\nthat It isn't safe to base any arguments\nagainst Prohibition on conditions in\nthat state. On the contrary, I have become convinced that the results of\nProhibition In Kansas are about as\npowerful arguments for the 'drys' as\nthev could possibly desire.\n\"Rut here's the pinch, coming In the\nexact spot T expected it to when I gave\nan Interview to the Kansas City Star.\nInsisting that Seattle was bettor off\nunder the dry law; Seattle and the\nState of Washington have been picked\nas substitute horrible examples.\nSame Thing Here\n\"Every day newspapers in Montana.\nCalifornia and Missouri are printing\nadvertisements and interviews against\nProhibition which assert that Seattle\nand the State of Washington have\nbeen harmed beyond re'iJa'fr\"* by the\nlaw which became effective' January\n1 Over the signatures of liquor\ndealers formerly resident in Seattle\nand the various wet organizations of\nthe states which are engaged in Prohibition stores in Seattle, that business has gone all to smash, that\nformer leaders hi business are leaving\ntown because of deplorable business\nconditions, that rentals are off to nothing at all, that bank clearings are\ndown, that merchants are doing no\nbusiness and so on and so on and so on.\n\"It is human nature to like a man\nwho will say be knows he Is wrong\nwhen he finally discovers it.. But it\nIs infernally hard for the human animal to recede from a position for which\nhe has once commenced to make public\nargument. It is so much easier to\nsay: 'There! You see, I was right\nafter all,' than to say, 'Well, I was\nwrong.'\n\"So I shall try to comfort myself\nwith the thought that the thinkim\nreaders of the Times .will be willing\nto extend enough credit for an i\nmission about to be made to offset the\n'loss of face' which accompanies the\nabandonment of a long-defended position.\nAdmits He Was Wrong\n\"The Times admits it was wrong\nwhen it said during the campaign\nagainst Prohibition that the enforcement of the statute would mean miles\nof empty stores ln Seattle, reduced\nbank clearings, reduced bank deposits,\nreduced rentals, reduced realty values\nand general depression. Six months\nago the law went into ^effect. None\nof the dire things prophesied for the\nfirst half of the year 11110 haS occurred.\nOn the contrary, Seattle has prospered\nwonderfully.\n\"I am not attempting to say that\nProhibition, when enforced, makes\nprosperity. I have my own opinions\nabout that, which have no possible\nvalue in an article of this kind. But\nI do say that certain wonderfully\nprosperous and gratifying conditions\nhave followed the enforcement of tho\nlaw regardless of what caused them\nto happen, and that the disasters which\nt personally believed would occur, have\nnot happened, nor do now I believe\nthey ever can happen. }<\n\"The interview concerning Prohibition wbich I gave tlie Kansas City\nStar was almost accurate as It appeared in print on February 9. Certain\nsmall mistakes which crept in became\ndifficult to correct as I traveled farther east; so 1 determined not to take\nup the subject in, thevcolumns of the\nSeattle.Times until I had.returned to\nmy own city and gathered evidence\nCoYOtlng\" the first six months of the\nin minor places only, is the Kansas\nCity Interview: - \u25a0\n\"\/The world Is watching Seattlo to\nsee' how Prohibition works out In a\nlarge city. Seattle is the largest city\nthat has ever had prohibition. .It and\nthe whole State of Washington be\ncame dry January 1 of this year.\n\" 'The strongest single force that\nworked against Prohibition in the\nState of Washington was the Times,\ntho leading newspaper of Seattle, In\nits campaign against the passage of\nthe prohibitory law it used -all the\nfamiliar old arguments, such\n\"Prohibition doesn't prohibit,\" that il\nwould force down rents, that so much\nproperty used for saloons all at once\nmade empty and unproductive in one\nclay, would have a bad economic effect,\nand so on.\n\"'Why We Fought Prohibition.\n\"'The editor of the Seattle Times,\nMaj. C. B. Blethen, one of the men\nwho made the fight against Prohibi\ntion, was at the Coates House yesterday. He was asked how Prohibition\nwas working and if all-his prophecies\nhad'come true, He said:\n\" ' \"My paper fought its damnedest\nagainst Prohibition. We fought It on\neconomic grounds alone. We behoved\nthat in a great seaport city with a\npopulation of upwards of 330.000, Prohibition would lie destructive: it would\nbring on economic disaster. We believed that under our system of llcens\ning saloons we had the liquor traffic\nabout as well controlled as It could be,\nand we wanted to let it alone, and so\nwe fought as hard as wo,could fight.\nBut ip spite of all we could do against\nIt, Prohibition carried and it went Into\neffect in Washington January 1. We\nhave had a month of it now.\"\n\" ! \"And how has it worked out?\"\n\" 'Business Expended Quickly.\n\" ' \"We already know that it is\ngreat benefit morally and from\neconomic standpoint. Its moral \u2022benefit had been tremendous. Seattle bad\n33fi saloons, and we had about 1600\narrests a month for crimes and mis\ndemeanors growing out of liquor\ndrinking. Tn January we had only\n765 arrests and sixty of those were\nmade January 1, and were the result of\n'hang-overs' from tho old year. The\nyear previous there were 2600 arrests\nin tho same month. That in itself\nis enough to convince any man with a\nconscience that Prohibition is neces\nsary. There can be no true economy\nIn anything that is immoral.\n\" ' \"And on top of that great moral\nresult, We have these economic facts:\nIn the first three weeks of January\nthe .savings accounts in the banks of\nSeattle Increased greatly In numbers.\nThere was not a grocery store in\nSeattle that did not show an increase\nof business in January greater than\never known in any month before in\nholiday time. In all tbe large grocery\nstores the increase was immense. In\naddition to this, every drygoods store\nin Seattle, except one, and that one\nT liave no figures from, had a wonderful Increase jn business. Each\nstore reported the largest business ever\nclone in ono month except; in holiday\nlime.\n\" 'Women and Children Profit\n\" ' \"I wished to know in what class\nof goods the sales increased so greatly, so 1 sent tp all the grocery and\ndrygoods stores to find that out'.' And\nto me it is a pitiful thing, and it\nmakes me sorry that we did not have\nProhibition long ago\u2014that the increase in sales in all the drygoods\nstores was in wearing apparel of women and children, and in the grocery\nstores tho increase was made up chiefly of fruits and fancy groceries. This\nproves that it is the women and children who benefit greatest from Prohibition. Money that went formerly\nover the bar for whisky Is now being\nspent fo clothing for the women and\nchildren, and in better food for the\nhousehold.\n\" ' \"It's just like this: When you\nclose the saloons the money that formerly was spent there remains in the\nfamily of the wage-earner, and his wife\nand children buy shoes and clothing\nand better food with it. Yes, sir, we\nhave found In Seattle that it is better\nto buy shoes than booze. The families\nof wage-earners Seattle are going\nhave more food and clothes and\neverything else than they had before.\n\" 'It Actually Prohibits\n' \"And Is the Prohibition law enforced?\"\n' \"Absolutely, Prohibition docs prohibit.\"\n'\"And how about the. empty\nsaloons and the landlords who own\nthem?\"\n' \"Many of them have already\nbeen made over and are occupied hy\nother businesses. I will venture the\nprophecy that in one year from today\nyou won't be able to find a place in\nSeattle where there was a saloon. They\nwill all be occupied by other businesses,\nAnd Prohibition has not lowered rents\nexcept, in old saloon locations. I know\nof one big drygoods store that has al\nready had Its rent raised since Pro\nbibition went into effect.\"'\nSix Months' Summary\n\"Now for a direct, statement of what\nhas happened to business In Seattle\nduring the first six months of 1916, but\nalways with the understanding that\nIt is not asserted that Prohibition has\nbeen responsible for all the improve\nment, but that it Is asserted that the\nhad business conditions promised the\npeople of the city and state by the\nwet advocates did not arrive.\n\"Apparently without any important\nIncrease of population to account for\nIt, the drygoods bouses, small stores,\nhaberdasheries, shoe stores, meat markets and groceries have heen doing\na largely increased business.\n\"In spite of the reluctance of many\nreal estate dealers to discuss conditions, rentals have not gone down appreciably save In old saloon locations,\nwhere false values were maintained\nns long as it was legal to sell liquor.\nOn the other hand, many targe firms\nare paying higher rents. And it should\nbe said In passing that there are two\nsides to the question as to whether\nlower rents would do Seattle anv harm.\n\"Building permits have declined in\namount as compared with the first\nsix months of 1915. The difference\nIs $174.000\u2014and this is the only item\nIn the whole list which is unfavorable!\n\"Bank clearings increased more than\nfifty-five millions. Bank deposits in\ngeneral have increased. Savings accounts liave increased in numbers and\ntotals. r,\n\"Real estate tfa^sfers have increased\nand higher prices are being paid for\nproperty than In the first six months\nof last year.\nCollections Improve\n\"Collections have wonderfully improved, being called bv certain authorities fifty per cent better than in 1915!\n\"Suicides anrl murders have decreased one-half. This Item would not have\nbeen mentioned, but for the public assertion of liquor dealers that, crimes\nof violence were increasing in Seattle\nas the result of the sale of 'drug store'\nor 'blind pig' liquor.\n\"Again and again the newspapers of\nMissouri, Montana and California have\nprinted assertions that crime was much\nmore prevalent in Seattlo under the\ndry law than previously. Let us look\not the figures:\n\"Total arrests going to police\nblotter In first six months of\n1915 10,152\n\"Drunks turned loose after sobering down, names not going\nto blotter, in same period .. 1,13(1\n\"Total arrests first six months\nfOlli, none being turned loose\nwithout name going to blotter, and including violations\nof liquor law, which should\nnot properly be included in.\ncomparison \t\n11,888\ni.4.44\n'Total human beings kepi put\nof jail, apparently bv npfcr-\nation of Prohibitum law.... 5,8.44\n\"Think of the sum total of human\nanguish being reduced in that amount!\n1 confess that it makes mo ashamed\nof myself for ever having dared to\nargue that the saloons should not he\ndisturbed.\n\"Below will be found detailed accounts of various things of interest In\nconnection with this subject. From\nobservation and careful study of actual\nfigures and facts, 1 advance these conclusions:\nSeattle Is better off without saloons.\nProhibition as practised here may have\nits weak spots, but not one of them\nhas made itself felt In business conditions, Thousands of women and children in Seattle have better clothes and\nfood than they had a year ago. Perhaps Prohibition didn't bring this condition about, but certainly Prohibition\ncan't be charged with making condition harder for women and children.\n'Of course, it is my personal belief\nthat tlie closing of the saloons has directly caused Ibis particular improvement. Prohibition is keeping thousands\nout of jail and Is saving human life.\nIt is giving employers full gangs of\nefficient laborers on Monday mornings\nand reducing the accidents on con1-\nstruction work of all lands to a minimum, ft has certainly improved collections Und helped the banks, even\nufter noting all losses caused by financial dlsaster-to liquor dealers.\nWe were wrong when we said Prohibition wouldi-Tuin Seattle and the\nState of Washington. And we are go\ning to do everything we can to stop\nthe campaign of misrepresentation and\nviltiflcation waged against the name\nand reputation of this city by the newspapers of other states.\"\u2014Advt.\nON ANCIENT JOKES.\nThe odd thing is that we do not resent\nthe age of the joke, even though It is in\nour own repertory, but we resent the\ndaughter of those to whom it IstnewT!-\nperhaps three-quarters of the audi*\nonce.

The plan, as outlined 'by Hon. J. D. Hazen, minister\nof marine, Is that Canada should recruit, equip and pay a body of men\nwho would go forward to serve in the\nBritish navy.\n^Canada was prevented by the Liberal party in 1912 from contributing\nthree battle cruisers to the imperial\nnavy and since the war began it has\nhad little part in the naval defense\nof tb.e Empire. Unlike Australia, New\nZealand and the Malay States it has\nhad K no battle cruisers to which it\ncould point with pride as strengthening Admiral Jelllcoe's battlo. fleet.\nBut It can send men. I tip to this\ntime Great Britain has had so many\nvolunteers for naval work that none\nfrom overseas were required. Now it\nis able to accept a force from Canada.\nThevmen of the Dominion will not be\nslow to respond lu the call.\nSACRIFICE PUBLIC INTEREST TO\nHIT AT OPPONENT.\n\"As a matter of fact, Mr. Macdonald\nsaid, it would tie up Mr. Bowser and\nthe Liberal leader was receiving the\napproval of the people for his courageous course.\"\nThis Is an extract from a report in\nthe''Vancouver Sun of a speech on the\nBrewster writ delivered Saturday by\nM. A. Macdonald in Vancouver,\n.... The writ would tie up Mr. Bowser\u2014\nthat in the opinion of the Liberal leaders eoint*letaly justifies It.\nWhat does it matter to them if the\nwrit creates a condition of uncertainty?\nWhat does It matter to them if it\nmakes outside investors susplcious*J(| and those advancing from tbe north\nWhat does it matter to them if it\nshould stop public undertakings and\ndelay and possibly destroy the workmens compensation act and block distribution of loans under the farm credits bill, shipbuilding and operation of\nmeasures to aid mining?\nThe writ appeared as if it might embarrass Mr. Bowser. That to the Liberal leaders was quite sufficient justification. But it is not sufficient justification for the people of a province\nwhose prosperity depends on development of resources and industries.\nVICTORIES ARE BRINGING END\nINTO SIGHT.\nWhile no student of the war is likely to underestimate the magnitude of\nthe struggle that the entente allies\nare engaged in, the events of toe past\nthree months clearly -bring the end In\nsight.\nRumania knew that when she decided to enter the war. Not taking any\nchances, she waited for two years to\npick the winner.\nGermany, Austria, Bulgaria and\nTurkey arc pressed almost to tne\nbreaking point. With the possible ex\nception of Turkey none of the Teutonic\nallies has a safe maogln f men to defend its lines. Hungary already knows\nthat it is beaten and Its people are\neager for a separate peace which they\nare not likely to get. Tottering Austria is being sustained by German soldiers, German money and German government. Bulgaria is caught between\ntwo fires.\n'The entente drive, that is now In\nfull swing against practically every\nsector of the circle of Tcutonlc-Bul-\ngar-Turkish defenses, is dally gaining\nin* vigor and momentum. As it progresses the growing weakness of the\ne'hemy Is shown in the' larger area\" of\nground and the greater number of\nprisoners captured. On the one side\nthe rot is beginning to set In;'on the\nother the victory-winning potentialities of the attacking forces are becoming stronger.\nLedger, which was the official organ of\nthe United Mineworkers of America,\nWhen the Bowser act was first proposed, have all' been adopted In the\nmeasure now before the people. The\nLedger suggested a ?5 minimum, pro-\nVision for medical assistance, provision for hospital charges and the inclusion of non-resident dependents In\nthe act. All these features are embodied\nIn the Bowser act.\nTHOMAS UPHILL WILL SERVE\nFERNIE FAITHFULLY.\nThomas Uphill, the Conservative\ncandidate in Fernie, is a hardheaded\nman of the people who has proved his\nworth both as a labor man and as\nmayor of the city. He was elected\nmayor in 1915 and gave such general\nsatisfaction that he was elected by acclamation last January.\nWhile he Is supporting the Conservative party he is a man of independent spirit who can be depended upon\nto stand firmly by what he believes to\nbe right and to do good work for the\nFernie district.\nAs a labor man he has exceptional\nqualifications to represent a constituency in which working men form\nsuch a strong element In the community.\nIn him the coal miners, the employes of the lumber companies, farmers\nand the people of the district as a\nwhole will find a fair-minded and able\nexponent of measures to advance their\nwelfare.\nCarry on.\nKing Constantlne seems to have slid\nback on the throne of Greece.\nThe Conservative government stands\nfor progress.\nDon't let tho pluggerbund get in any\nof its fine work a week from today.\nThe Intervention of Rumania added\n350 miles to the Teutonic allies' already dangerously extended lines'.\nAfter three months of campaigning\nthe public has yet to hear from the\nLiberal leaders a single definite policy\nto improve business conditions, stimulate Industry or increase payrolls,\nEvery false charge the opposition\nbrings against Premier Bowser only\nserves to.strengthen the prime minister In the minds of the people.\nVernon Castle, the .tango dancer, it-\nreported to have beon killed at the\nfront. His name is Letter known in\nthe United States than that of any\nBritish general of division.\nAn interesting race to Constantinople between the Russians advancing\nfrom the east through the Caucasus\nthrough Bulgaria is In progress.\nJ. W. Weart, one of the Liberal can\ndldates in greater Vancouver, who is\nsaid to be sure of a cabinet position\nif the Liberals should gain control of\nthe government, has gone on record\nbelieving that the mining industry\nshould be taxed at least five times\nas heavily as at present. That would\nbe a fine way to stimulate the industry and cause it to employ more men,\nwouldn't It?\nThe Liberal speakers say that John\nL. Sullivan took Carroll's gang of\npluggers to his hotel in Vancouver.\nThat is perfectly true. And that was\nthe only gang the Liberals brought\nover from Seattle that did not vote.\nThese men were proved by their own\nevidence and that of independent witnesses to have been frightened by Sullivan into refraining from carrying out\ntheir part of the conspiracy. They\nhurried back to Seattle on the next\ntrain.\nWORKERS LUCKY THEY DID NOT\n\u25a0 GET LIBERAL ACT.\nThe workers of British Columbia\nhave, reason to feel fortunate in the\nfact that the Bowser workmens compensation act was not \"stolen,\" as the\nLiberals claim, from the Liberal platform. The only act -the Liberals ever\nproposed pretended to provide for\n\"compensation without litigation.\" But\niudid not. It contained a \"joker\" that\nenabled anyone to fight in the\ncourts any award of the\u201ecompensation\nboard.\n'in connection with the Bowser act\nit Is of interest to note that sugges.\n]lon.s'hindo by the late Fernie District\nW. J. Black, the new.Dominion commissioner of ugriculture, will no doubt\nfind the Bowser government anxious to\ncooperate with the proposal that the\nDominion and the provinces should\nJoin together in a comprehensive scheme of land settlement. The problem\nof preventing speculation In farm\nlands and of building up community\nsettlements is one.tbai confronts every\nprovince In Canada. In British Columbia the government already has under\nway a policy to solve these problems.\nIts policy will work In well with Mr.\nBlack's proposals. ' .\nM. A. Macdonald says that his proposal to submit the question of the\nexpiry of parliament to the supreme\ncourt would havo made the Brewster\nwrit unnecessary. From tbe Liberal\npoint of view, Mr. Macdonald's proposal, if adopted, .would have settled\nmatters effectively enough. It would\nhave caused the house to dissolve, if\nthe Liberal technicality were well\nfounded, before the government had\npassed the workmens compensation act\nor any other measure in its program.\nThe Macdonald proposal was made a\nfew minutes before midnight on March\n14, the hour at which the Liberals\nclaimed the legislative term came to\nan end. No judge could possibly have\ngiven a decision in the time remaining,\nr.\n\"BLIGHTY AGAIN.\"\nI believe you all know the \"Home\nFires\" chorus.

There have been days\nbefore the war, you know, although\nthe intervening space has seemed In\nthe Empire's history like a night\nwatch protracted to a thousand years,\nand pre-war existence seems to most\nof us like the submerged city of Breton fable, whose church bells are heard\nsounding on quiet evenings over miles\nof sea.

A slangy word, you say. Oh,\nyes! but slang has enriched our mother tongue for centuries, so \"Blighty\" la\na new word in its baby stage, and we\nmay train It in the way it should go.\nThere is little doubt that our soldiers\nhave got the word from India, or from\nsoldiers who have served in yon \"coral\nstrand.\" The Englishman in India calls\nEngland \"Bilat,\" and he also calls\nEngland home. As to the spelling, it\nvaries, like the spelling of all Indian\nwords \u201e and names. In Calcutta it is\nspelt \"Belattco'' (we are getting nearer to It my friends). Elsewhere in that\nmystic land the pronunciation is \"Bi-\nlayati\" (we are getting hot). In India,\n\\s Kipling says, W. Thomas Atkins\nprides himself on being a profound\nOrientalist and scholar\u2014although us\na matter of fact, he depends largely\non the sign language, and the rattle\nof silver coins\u2014and Thomas makes\n'Blighty\" of the heathen word.

They\ndid not pass. But certain war critics\ndoubted. They had been told in Paris\nthat Verdun was of no military value\nto the French, whose army would have\nsurrendered if it had not been for the\npoliticians' fear of the anger of the\npeople. It took a secret session of the-\nsenate to lay that phantom. Now another has materialized. After seven\nweeks Germany is saying of the\nSomme: \"They shall not pass.\" And\nthe same war critics, having finally\naccepted the French creed, are ready\nto accept the German. With the campaigns of Napoleon and Grant for a\nbackground, they paint the Somme as\na .replica of Verdun and say: \"Behold\nbow like!\"\nIn reality no such resemblance exists except as the strategy of defense\nand attack identified with one place\nresembles that of another. So it has\nbeen since the days of Joshua. But\nin the tactical problems to be seolved,\nIn which they appear to find so much\nin common, there Is no resemblance1\nwhatever, rather a series of vivid contrasts,\n\"Verdun, when the high-angle fire of\nthe great German howitzers had scrapped the steel cupolas and concrete\ncounterscarps at Liege, Namur, and\nAntwerp, became transformed. General Sarrall reconstructed the works\ndevised and built by General de Riviere and made them to conform to the\ntactical developments of the day. He\ndid something more. He turned the\nterrain into the greatest military trap\nin history, with a killing capacity of\n750,000 men. After a year the Germans entered the trap and the trap\nwas sprung. So far the trap has worked well. The capture of only two of\nthe nineteen permanent positions has\ncost the Germans 200,000 men.\nBut why Verdun? Due east across\nthe plain of the Woevre lies Metz.\nVerdun opens the side door to Metz.\nThe front door Is opened down the Moselle from Pont-a-Mousson, where behind the cliffs great French guns have\nslumbered for eighteen months, with\nthe twenty-five German forts In the\n\u25a0bowl of the Moselle in full view when\nthey shall awake.

Mr. Crowe received an attentive hearing as he outlined the progressive business policy and legislative\nprogram of the Conservative party in\nBritish Columbia under the able leadership of Premier W.

He dwelt at length on the\nbusiness of the last session in which\nhe had represented the riding, spending\nin the house and the committees every\npossible hour of his time in the Interest of his district. He said he. had\nbeen present at every session of the\nplugging inquiry and was able to tell\nthe electors that he had heard the most\nconvincing evidence from officials of\nthe Liberal association of British Columbia which without a shadow of a\ndoubt proved tlie Liberals to be guilty\nof the greatest plot ever attempted in\nCanada to stuff ablot boxes with ballots cast for M. A. Macdonald, one of\nthe Liberal leaders. In contrast with\nthis guilt of the Liberal party be\nshowed where in three months of investigation with every possible help\nfro mthe government itself the opposition had been unable to find a single\ndollar of public money misspent by the\ngovernment, nor were they able to\nprove any of the many charges which\nthey had made against the government, and yet they continued to come\nbefore the electorate of Birtish Columbia and make the same charges without evidence to prove them. Mr. Schofield closed with an appeal for the support of tho electors of Salmo.\nWright Speaks Briefly.\nHarry Wright was heard briefly in a\nfighting speech which has not been\nequalled in the present campaign and\nwhich was greatly enjoyed by the audience. He. said he was working for Mr.\nScbofield's candidature because he\nknew him to be as lionest a man as\never entered the portals of a parliament building and becau.se Schofield\nknew every foot of tho riding and its\nevery need. He was sure tlie people of\nSalmo would very greatly add to Mr.\nScbofield's majority on election day.\nAfter tbe singing of the national anthem a member of the audience proposed three cheers for Mr. Schofield,\nwhich were heartily given.\nMr. Schofield will speak at Robson\nThursday night.\nBENTON SIDING NOTES.\n(Special to The Daily News.)\nBENTON SIDING.

Hinsdale, Expert Named by\nGovernment, Prepares for Administration of Measure.\nVICTORIA, Sept. -3. \u2014 Employees\nthroughout the province, to the number of about 10,000, will, in a day or\ntwo be In receipt of the first official\ncommunication from the government\nrelative to the submission of data re<\nquired under the provisions of the\nWorkmens Compensation act, the measure passed at the last session of* the\nlegislature and declared to be the finest piece of legislation of Its kind in\nexistence. Frank W. Hinsdale, who\nhas been engaged by the provincial\ngovernment to inaugurate the system\n*n this province, has been busy for the\npast three weeks arranging for the\nwork. His long experience in similar\nwork in Ontario, Nova Scotia and in\ntlie states of Washington and Oregon,\nin all of which he was engaged to inaugurate the nets passed there, has\nproved a boon here.\nLabor men of Manitoba have asked\nthat he lie employed to Inaugurate the\nnow act in that province.\nThe operation of the terms of the\nWorkmens Compensation act necessitated a complete system of forms, methods of accounting, etc., as well as\nthe classification of the various classes\nof employment, the striking of the rate\nto be assessed upon each class, etc.\nA tremendous amount of preliminary\nwork is thus necessitated and Mr.\nHinsdnle's experience is proving Invaluable.\nThe provisions of the act become effective on October 1 next, so far as\ntiie returns to be made by employers\nare concerned, but the act, as it affects\nthe payment of compensation to injured workmen, does not become effective\nuntil next year. Forms prepared by\nMr. Hinsdale have been printed and\nissued to employers. Every effort has\nbeen made to secure the names of all\nemployers who are affected by tlie\nterms of the act. If any do not receive the forms, etc., they are requested to apply to the department.\nMr. Hinsdale, who states that the\nBritish Columbia act, besides containing every feature of those acts already In operation elsewhere, also contains some most important features,\nwhich make it a decided advance upon\nthat other legislation, notably the provisions for medical aid to injured\nworkmen, outlined some of the salient\nfeatures from the standpoint of classification of employments and method\nof levying assessments.\nMuch Preliminary Work.\nThe extent of the work involved in\npreparing for the administration of\nthe Workmens Compensation act Is\nnot apparent at first thought. The\nprovisions of the act, which will become effective on October 1 next, are\nthose relating to employers in the industries to which the act will apply,\nand to tbe requirement upon them to\nsend estimates to the board of the\nprobable amount of their respective\npayrolls for the whole of the first\nyear of the operation of the act. These\nestimates under the requirement Of the\nact must be received on or before\nOctober l ot this year.\nThe aci, as a Whole, however, and\nas regards payment of compensation\nto injured workmen, will not come into force until the first day of January next. But upon that day the\nentire equipment and information necessary lor tlie efficient administration\nof the act must lie in complete readiness, and the board which is to administer the act must be fully prepared to take over the large business\nwhich will Immediately require its attention.\nMost new organizations have their\nperiod of growth from comparatively\nsmall beginnings, and the equipment\nl' material and knowledge increase!;\nwitli the gradual development of the\nbusiness; but on tho day when tho\nWorkmens Compensation act comes in\nforce the whole machinery for the\nadministration of the act must hv\nmoving and ready to take over, on the\nwing, as it were, a very considerable\nbusiness, the operation of which may\nlie likened to that of a series of large\nmutual insurance companies which arc\nto pay compensation lor Injuries to\nthe workmen of over 10,000 separate\nemployers throughout the province.\nTiie mere enumeration of the names\nnnd addresses of these empoyers, with\nnotes showing the nature ami classification of their industries, or of the\nbranch or departments of their business which would be within tlie scope\nof tin. act, is a work of considerable}\nmagnitude,\nIn the listing of tlie names of employers in the various industries, \\er\\\nmany sources of information were utilized and much valuable information was promptly and courteously\nsupplied from the records of a number of the governmental departments.\nForms for report and estimate of employers' payroll have already been prepared and are being addressed to employers throughout tlie province who\nnre engaged in Industries affected by\ntho act, and in order that tbe work of\nclassification and other work Incidental to preparing for lhe administration of the act may proceed promptly,\nit is hoped that employers generally\nwill fill in and return the reports as\nearly as possible without wailing for\nOctober 1st, which is the day named\nin the act as the date by which tlie\nreports are required to be made.\nAs the different forms of Industry\nnre attended by varying degrees of\nhazard, and as several separate classes\nof industry are provided for In the act,\nit is important for each employer to\nsee that either liis whole industry is\nCorrectly designated in the report, or\nto make separate reports for each\ndistinct and separate depart ment of\nbis industry. Additional forms for the\npurpose will be supplied upon request,\nand if full information js given upon\ntlie report as to the nature nf the industry, the work uf proper classification will be much facilitated.\nMethod of Grouping.\nIt is doubtless well understood that\nunder the provisions of tlie act the\nvarious kinds of industry in manufacture and work of construction and\nother Industries to which the act will\napply are grouped into a number of\nseparate classes, the division having\nreference either to tlie general similarity of the work or to tlie comparative\nequality of the hazard incident to' the,\nindustry.

C, Sept. fl.\u2014\"Why\nshould we, as Conservatives, place detectives in the Conservative committee rooms, print 5000 plugger cards,\nand spend money in bringing pluggers\nby the score from Seattle\u2014all in order\nto defeat bur own candidate, my minister of public works?\"\nWith all their arguments to relieve\nthemselves of the responsibility for\nthe byelection plugging II. C. Brewster and M. A. Macdonald have never\nyet even attempted to answer this\nquestion of the premier's.\nFlying in the face of the evidence\nbefore the committee of Inquiry at\nVictoria, and the report of the committee to the house, these two leaders\nof the Liberal party have been going\naround the country building up a\nwonderful story about the plugging,\nDuring the first of his tours through\nthe province Premier Bowser made no\nreference whatever to the manner\" in\nwhich the byelection was won, and he\nwas able to deal exclusively with the\nreal issues of the campaign.\nBut with the memories of tho effect of unanswered charges by the\nsit me two gentlemen before the Vancouver byelecllon, he has been compelled to defend himself by referring\nto the testimony placing the blame for\ntbe Impersonation where it belonged,\nlie did tliis at his first Vancouver\nmeeting iu the Empress theatre on\nFriday evening, and tlie applause\nwhich greeted his remarks told which\nway the wind of public opinion was\nblowing.\n\"They have charged that I was responsible for tlie plugging,\" declared\nthe premier. \"1 have a right lo make\nmy own defense.\"\nFrom Edmonton School\nJohn T. Scott bad come to the provincial Liberal organization committee from Edmonton, tbe premier explained, and he knew of no more\nnefarious training school to come\nfrom than that at Edmonton. Scott\nbad been Installed in Vancouver, and\nthe other Liberals, including Ash\nworth Anderson, had wanted to know\nwhat he was doing there. They had\nbeen unable to find out.\nMr. Macdonald had admitted on oath\nhaving been chairman of the committee which engaged and paid Scott, and\nit had been Seott, the man engaged\nand paid by Mr. Macdonald, who had\nprepared the crooked list of 309 names\nof absentees and dead men, and banded it to Ashworth Anderson, chairman\nof the scrutineers' committee. Written across the top of this list in red\nink were tlie words \"Not to Be Challenged.\" The names were to be voted\non election day between the hours of\n5 o'clock and 7 o'clock. The premier\npaid a tribute to Mr. Anderson for\nrefusing lo have anything to do with\nthis list.\nAfter the election, the suspicions of\nwhat he might term the Ralph Smith\nwing of the Liberal party had been\nraised and ihe prosecution of Peter\nAnnanee had followed. The decent\nwing of the Liberal party had wanted\nan investigation, but Mr. Macdonald\nhad fought against it.\nTrail Leads to Seattle\nAfter tho session the house commenced, another trail had been found,\nand it had led, not to tlie waterfront\nof Vancouver, but to the Seattle\nwaterfront. Then hod followed the\nlegislntive investigation. Scott had\nbeen hustled out of (he country to the\nland of the free across the line, and\nPearce, his chief assistant, had stated on oath that Mr. Macdonald had\npaid him $\".0 to havo him spirited out\nof the country by automobile, al\nthough, to be fair to Macdonald, the\nlatter had denied this, although not\nmder oath.\n\"And still Mr. Macdonald says he\nwants to get at the higher-ups. Is\nthere anyone here who thinks that\nBowser money was behind Scott to defeat my own minister of public\nworks?\"\nYes, one here in the gallery,\"\nshouted a doubter.\n\"Well, you look as intelligent as the\nordinary man who thinks that way,\"\nretorted .Mr. Bowser amid laughter.\nThe legislative Investigation had\ndisclosed one of the most nefarious\nplugging schemes ever attempted in\nCanada, planned to rob the Vancouver\nelector of his franchise. The evidence\nshowed also that many of the absentee soldiers had been voted hi their\nabsence. As\" the investigation had\ngone it had been proved that it was\nJohn T. Scott who had perpetrated\nthis offense.\nIncrease in Vote\nIn the general elections of i'912\nVancouver hacLbeen able to poll only\n10,000 votes, and notwithstanding the\nfact that the city had been partially\ndepleted 6f its population, and notwithstanding the fact that there was\nalways more Interest taken in a general election than in a byelection,\nthere had heen 15,000 votes polled in\nthe byelection. In the general contest Mr. Tisdall had received a vote\nof some fiOOO, and had been elected by\na majority of 400; in the byelection\nhe had received 400 more votes than\nin the general election, but had heen\ndefeated by -1000 votes. Pearce had\ntestified before the Inquiry at Victoria\nthat Scott had had 5000 plugger cards\nissued\u2014the number of the increased\nvotes In the byelection. These cards,\naccording to sworn testimony, had\nbeen distributed to pluggers who voted for Macdonald under the names on\nthe cards, names of absentee voters\nor dead men,\n\"And now Mr. Macdonald says he\nwas trying hard to reach Hie higher\nups,\" repeated the premier, with a\nsmile, \"tie's Insinuating that I was\nbehind Scott; that it was my money\nthat financed lhe election frauds',\nYukon methods had never been appreciated among the Conservatives of\nVancouver us they had been in the\nnorth.\"\nConservatives Were Honest\nThen the premier turned to the\nevidence of tlie manager of the Thlel\nDetective ugency, which had been hired by Scott under a contract endorsed by Macdonald, to place men in the\nConservative committee room, The\ndetective had brought back reports\nshowing that the Conservatives had\nnot had any thought of plugging\nmen to victory. The Liberals had\nnot placed detectives for the purpose\nof seeing whether the Conservatives\nproposed to carry out impersonation,\nbut to see whether lhe Conservatives\nwere on lo the Liberal plans.\nScott Was Available\n\"If Mr. Macdonald or Air. Brewster\nwanted to get at' tin - higher-ups, they\ncould have placed Scott in the witness\nbox ' at the Victoria investigation,\nwhen there was no warrant for his\narrest' and when immunity was extended to him. \"They had him there\nin their room in the bouse 15 feet from\nthe room where the investigation was\nbeing carried^on. Why didn't they put\nhim on the stand? Now tncy ask immunity for him. I am not here to\nmake deals with the Liberals, so that\nthey can wash their dirty linen. When\nthe paper made the exposure about\nthe Vancouver; plugging at Easter,\nwhat did Mr. Macdonald do? Instead\nof spending hia holidays in Vancouver he went lo Seattle, where Scott\nis, and thither went Mr. Farris, of\nRevelstoke, a brother of Mr. deB. Far-\nl'I's, the Liberal candidate in Vancouver. Mr. Macdonald returned to British Columbia about lhe time Gosden\nclaims he received the $50 from him.\nI cannot bring .Scott back here, but If\nhe comes he will lie prosecuted, the\nsame as Annanee was, and if Scott\nhas nothing to fear, why does he not\ncome back? Why does not Mr. Macdonald get an affidavit from him in\nSeattle, if he wants to get at the\nhigher-ups?\n\"if Scott enmes back here now he\nwill face ii charge of bigamy and a\ncharge of making it false affidavit, if\nhis contention that he is an American\ncitizen Is true. For he made an application prior to the byelection to have\nhis name placed on the voters' list.\nDo you think, even If the warrant was\nwithdrawn, that he'd come back in the\nface of these two charges?\"\nTelephone Communication\nToward lhe end of tho Investigation\nin Victoria, there had been long-distance telephone calls between Seattle\nand Victoria, nn \"May ]7P c. B. Patterson, secretary of the Vancouver\nLiberal association, of which tho\nRalph Smith wing was trying to get\nrid, had telephoned to Scott, of\nSeattle, and the following day he had\nrepeated tbe ,cnll. On May IS, Scott,\nof Seattle, bad telephoned to Macdonald, of Victoria; the next day Patterson had called Scott up once more.\nOn May 22, Macdonald, of Victoria,\nhad called up Scott at Seattle, and the\nnext day he had telephoned Patterson,\nwho had gone to Tacoma to see Scott.\nOn Victoria day Macdonald had again\ntelephoned Scott, of Seattle, and Pat\nterson, having returned to Victoria,\nhad called up Jerry L. Finch, of Seattle. What right had Macdonald and\nPatterson to be so familiar with the\nBowser employee that they should\ntalk over the long-distance telephone\nwith him at Seattle?\nAnd who was Jerry L. Finch? Finch\nwas a notorious Seattle attorney, who\nhad defended Macdonald at Victoria\nduring the investigation at the capital. Macdonald had gone to the\nwaterfront of Seattle to secure advice,\nalthough there were plenty of lawyers\nin British Columbia who could have\nassisted him. And when the Ralph\nSmith wing of the Liberal party was\ntrying to get Scott deported from\nSeattle he had defended Scott. Yet\nthey were trying to tell the people that\nit had been Bowser money^ behind\nScott. It was too improbable for any\ndecent citizen to give any credence to.\nA Plugging Card\nIn conclusion the premier read a\nfacsimile of the 5000 plugger cards\ndistributed through Scott's office:\n\"Name (printed) Thomes Beanland\n(written in ink).

He is the\nnephew of the late King Charles, tbe\nGerman prince who was elected to the\nRumanian throne just half a century\nago soon after the union of the Don-\niihiau principalities of Wallachia and\nMoldavia under tlie name uf Rumania.\nPrince Charles was a scion of the bouse\nof Uohenzullern-Sigmariiigen, and his\nrule was subject to Turkish suzerainty until 1881, when lie was proclaimed king. Russia aided Rumania in\nthrowing off the Turkish yoke, but the\nczar, annexed to ills dominions the\nprovince of Bessarabia, in which there\nare more than a million Rumanians.\nAustria also took possession of a large\nterritory principally inhabited by Rumanians; To unite these lost provinces under tlie .Rumanian flag is tlie\ndream of every patriotic subject of\nKing Ferdinand. As a German and a\nHohenzollern, it is believed that King\nFerdinand Is in sympathy with the\ncentral empires, but this sentiment, if\nit exists, is by no means shared by\nthe masses of ills people. The Rumanians have a great sentimental attachment for France, and are disciples of\nFrench culture, manners and literature. To fight against France is to\nthem unthinkable, and the monarch\nWho sought to force them to do so\nwould probably have a brief reign.\nKing Ferdinand married in ]SS3\nPrincess Marie of Suxe-Cobourg and\nGotba, and they have six children.\nTheir first born, prince Charles, the\nheir lo the throne, is now In his 23rd\nyear. The king's reputed sympathy for\nthe German cause certainly finds no\nsupport from Queen Marie, who is intensely English in her ways, She is\nthe daughter of Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, son of Queen Victoria, who succeeded to tho Teuton throne of Sa.se-\nCobourg and Gotha. Queen Marie was\nreared almost entirely in England, and\nstill entertains a deep affection for the\n\"tight little island.\" She is one of tlie\nmost beautiful of the royal women, and\na talented writer as well.

Labor is at a\nhigh premium and those who are employed in the many munition factories,\nhe declared, were receiving higher\nwages than ever before.\nIn the large cities as well, said the\ndoctor, the war time activity was lo'\nbe noted on every band. Tn Montreal\nthe great factories, hitherto devoted\nto the manufacture nf bridges, structural steel, harvesting implements and\nother industries were turning out\nthousands upon thousands of shells a\nclay.

Tn Manitoba, he said,\nthe wheat and oats bad all been cut\nand threshing operations were well\nunder way. Tn the majority of cases,\nhe stated, the farmers had sown a,\nsmaller acreage than last year, but he\nhad been informed that the crops\nwould be of a much higher grade than\nlast year.

I\nThe German military power is engaged indirectly in a struggle against\nthe united public opinion of the rest of\nthe world, and directly with the arms\nof France, Belgium, England, Russia\nand Italy, to stop with principals. In\nIts desperation It throws off, one after another, the established laws of\nhuman intercourse because of their restraint. Tho naked German soul and\npurpose Is gradually perceived to be\nfighting against the armies of civilization. The naked German will-to-\npower somehow reminds one of Blmi,\nthe great baboon in one of Mr. Kipling's earlier stories, who was owned\nby a man who had confidence in his\nown power and influence to restrain\nthis highly Intelligent, hut immensely\nstrong and dangerous animal. The old\nanimal dealer with whom Biini's owner used lo talk of an evening warned\nthe owner. \"Blmi is bad,\" he said.\n\"Vou must not trust Blmi.
