A. .BATES, - -' Editor and Proprietor FRIDAY, APRIL 16th, 1915 THK -POLITICAL SITUATION The political situation , does not seem to be any nearer a solution than it was a month ago when the local house dissolved or was it prorogued? For a short time the air was full of politics and conventions were being held for. the purpose of nominating candidates to contest the coming election. We almost breathed politics morning noon and night, whether eating sleeping or working, then along conies, a postponement of the date of the election; later the report is current that another session may be held; or that the provincial election may not be held until after the Dominion elections. T\"e true state of the facts as they appear to us at the moment is that the parties in power at Ottawa and at Victoria are both a little shaky about the results should they now go to the country. Past politics have shown that during dull times is not the psychological'moment for bringing on an election unless the, governing party is tired of controlling the reigns of power There are people who can be convinced, and their vote always counts, that the government is always partly responsible for \"hard times\" and all the attendant woes that follow in its trail. None but wish to see the country prosperous. At this time when the country is at war the people of Canada and the province should not long be kept in doubt as to whether we are to have two elections this year or one or none at all. If we are.to have an election, let us have it and be done with it. Then we can get down to business. It is bad i'or the business of the province and the dominion to have an election pending and there to be so much doubt about it. It may suit the politicians but not the people whom the politicians are to represent, or do represent. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd It is bad enough to have the leeling \"Wait until after the war\" without having added to it' 'wait until after the elections'. We said we wanted to make 1915 prosperous. ORCHARDS-OF MEN AT THE FRONT The following letter from the Department of Agriculture explains itself: . The Horticultural Branch of the Department of Agriculture has been in receipt of many requests, from all parts of the province, for especial attention to the orchards of men who have gone to the Front. hi order that the necessary and proper care can be given these orchards during the -absence of the owners, the Deputy Minister of Agriculture has instructed that Assistant Horticulturists give especial attention to requests from those who have left or are leaving for the front, or their agents or representatives. ln#auch cases, Assistant Horticulturists are instructed to visit the orchards and give such advice and'instruction as to their care as should give best results. Further requests may be addressed to the Department of Agriculture direct, or to the Assistant .Horticulturists of the districts. their destruction; God, who, through me, commands you to fulfil his will THE GERMAN 'GOOSE' STEP That little Chinese boy when writing the composition on the causes of the war hit it good wnen he said that Belgium said, \"I am a country; I am not a road\". Ex-I-Ion. Joseph Martin may think he is having a whale of a time busting up the two great political parties and unseating Mayor Taylor; but is not the way most people look at it. Vancouver wants Taylor for mayor; and the people want,politics run on party, lines and Joe will have his work cut out for him when he starts reforms that are too radical. Will the Dominion Government deport all tne foreigners who have become charges upon the public within two years of the time of their arrival in Canada? Is it tlie idea to carry out the ' scheme to\" make it a Canada for Canadians, ' \"IT'S A LONG WAY \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd You hear it whistled, you hear it sung, and hummed, you hear it played by bands and orchestras. It is danced to' and marched to. This simple musk'-hall ditty, that lias become the battle- song .of a nation at war. Many people ask what is there in it that it should so thrill, that it should st: ike the chords of the human heart with surer sound than the most martial music. John Wright Buckham answers the question when he says; \"There is loyalty in it, and longing courage and resignation sadness and joy. It speaks of the near and the far-away, the past and tne future. One can hear in imagination,'in its tender refrain, great racial and individual instincts and aspirations. The lure of the great city is in it and the unforgotten charm of the quiet home hills. 'Love and memory and hope and resignation is breathing through it, like the sound of a gentle wind through the pines. Manly response to opportunity and duty are there and the tender drawing of idealism and affection. If one were able to fare to the farthest reach of its meaning, would it not be something like this? \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd It's a long long way to the ideal of human happiness and attainment. It lies far back a- mong the lost;joys and aspirations of youth\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand yet far forward, beyond fresh battlefields, in a social ideal in which all shall share. For the attainment of theat goal every true man and woman must be willing to endure, hardships, danger and suffering, and bewilling to give up ease and advantage. And it is best to meet this issue bravely and to brighten the long march with a song. For, far away as it lies over land and sea, past weary days and chill nights, past battlefields and hospitals, past victories and defeats there is a Goal. , Call it what you like\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthe New Humanity, Social Democracy, Internationalism, the Kingdom of God.

Toward it all true souls have pressed with song\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdmany melodied, plaintive yet sweet and strong\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdof which 'Tipperary' is a snatch, echoing through the heart of our bewildered war-darkened but undespairing generation.\" It's a long way to that dream which heightened your hopes and mind in the yesterday of youth, my fellow traveller.

You and I may not live to reach its fruition. You and I may have to leave that to someone else, but if we have been honest in our endeavor to do for others; if-we have kept the faith reposed in us by. our fellows our trying shall not have been in vain. It's a long way to everything \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd worth having. Only those things which have small value and of which we tire quickly are within easy reach. \\ As we journey on it is well to remember this; Long after the great war is ended, and after its last hero has gone to sleep, we still-will be singing if only in our souls\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"It's a long way to Tipperary.\" If there is one thing in particular that distinguishes the German army from all others, it is the goose-step\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthe ceremonious \"high-kicking\" step so impressively employed by German regiments in marching past king or Kaiser or other potentate. The goose-step is accomplish ed by keeping the knee stiff and by lifting the leg in a kind of kick as high as possible. To see great lines of infantry employing the goose-step, to see them, with erect body and with drawn-in stomach and toes pointed outward at the same angle, lift each leg high and stiff, then bring it thunderously down upon the ground\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd-well that is a-\"striking spectacle. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd , The goose-step, furthermore, is a fine exercise. Military critics declare that a half-hour of it will strengthen the muscles of the leg and abdomen as much as a full day's marching. On this account, since the war's outbreak has brought the goose-step into prominence, a great many gymnasiums have inaugurated goose-step classes under the supervision of ex-officers of the army. ~ It is claimed that with ten or twelve minutes of goose- stepping a day a fat man or woman will reduce the waist- measure an inch or more a week. The, goose-step makes the leg very supple and shapely. m&mm J. H, JONES Funeral Director Furnisher of Funeral Supplies Plume Connection. Mission City O.

Chilliwack has an assessment of $1,357,225 on land $866,360 on improvements, exemptions $31- 3,075; total $2,536,660 and the debt on general debenture is $196,000 local improvement debenture $19,591 and other $8,- 550 making a total indebted-, ness of $224,141 for a population of 1800 people. Other cities have also indebtedness ranging from.$6,000 for Phoenix to $19,- 555,506 for Vancouver. From this is can be seen that if so desired when incorporated a city can borrow money for further improvements. The total debt of the' cities of the province is $73i747,954.73. While it may be all right for a city to become incorporated most municipalities of the province should be much larger. The smallest. municipality of the province is Kent with an area of 390.46 acres; Matsqui has now 54,145 acres and is a- mong the largest of the province, there being only five municipalities in the province over 50,000 acres: Langley 75,907; Mission 52,000; Spallumacheeri 65,000 and Surrey 76,000 acres. There are only six in the province with less than 10,000. It is reported'that the new lowland municipality which -it is proposed to have will be about 10,000 acres. Sir Richard McBride has not made public the reasons for his present visit to London but.it is generally understood that it is for the purpose of supporting the efforts of those interested in provincial railways to raise the capital necessary for carrying out their projects at a cheaper rate-than was asked for funds in New York. It is also understood that while in England he will . make the necessary arrangements i'or capital to enable the government to put the Agricultural credits scheme into operation without delay. Both of these objects are of direct interest to, the people of British Columbia and it is to be hoped that the Premier will succeed in inducing British capital to assist in the completion of the P. G. & E. and also that he will return with the assurance of a good reception for the proposed Agricultural Aid Bonds. The above must be right as it is taken1 from the Kamloops Standard the. Conservative organ of the Interior. THE POLITICAL SITUATION The date upon which the provincial elections will be held is still a.matter of uncertainty. It is expected, however, that upon the return of Sir Richard McBride from the east, which will probably take place next week, a definite announcement will be forthcoming;. Rumor has it that possibly a Dominion election may be held prior to the Provincial campaign,'but to'this we do not attach a great deal of importance, and'our expectation is that an appeal to the country by the McBride administration.will not now be long deferred, and in all probability will take place early in May. In this constituency the contest may now be said-to be well defined. Dr. K. C. MacDonald received the nomination in the Liberal interest at the convention held in Armstrong last Thursday ; aiid Mr. JBasil Gardbm has also announced that he is in the field as an independent candidate.. Mayor Poison of Enderby, who at one time also spoke of getting into the arena, has apparently joined forces with the Liberals, as he spoke at their meet-' ing at Armstrong. It is possible that the Socialists will nominate a candidate, but upon this point we have no information. Dr. MacDonald is a seasoned politician, having twice;before made an unsuccessful appeal to the'electors for .their support. He has been defeated by Mr. Ellison for the Provincial House, and by Hon. Martin Burrell for the Dominion Parliament. He is an experienced campaigner, a vigorous.fighter and a good platform speaker. Prom past experience we know that he will conduct a clean contest. ' We believe that he is again doomed to defeat, but we admire his courage and respect his consistency in supporting his party and principles through thick and thin. Mr. Gardom has not yet announced his platform, but his appearance in the field is held to be the result of a grudge which he entertains against Mr. Ellison in connection with certain, quarantine regulations enforced by the Department of Agriculture against Mr. Gardom's herd of cattle on his farm in the Dewdney riding. We shall naturally have something to state in this connection in future issues, bub until Mr. Gardom has made public his position, it is obviously impossible to make any reply. In the meantime we may assure Mr. Ellison's supporters that he has absolutely .nothing to fear from Mr. Gardom's \"revelations.\" The position of Mr. Ellison in this respect is perfectly unassailable, as will be made abundantly plain before the end of the campaign.. - . While the situation is admittedly a more complex one than has obtained in former contests of recent years, there is nothing in it to daunt in the slightese degree the courage of Mr. Ellison's, friends. He is the regularly nominated candidate of the Conservative party in North Okanagan. As soon af the campaign fairly opens he will enter the fray with all his, old-time vigor. He goes in to win, and will emerge a victor.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdVernon News. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd- i I *\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd It is gratifying to see the fruit industry of the district looking as though it were on a good business basis. We are all vitally interested in the problems and difficulties that confront the fruit _ grower and the farmer of the district and the province. Every business in the country is depending more or less upon the success of the man on t**e soil. It is however a very hard matter to deal with the marketing of the products of the soil. We would hope however that each one would do his best to further the interests of the grower and the products, and assist in boosting that the residents of B. C. favor B. C. fruit, vegetables, etc., as much as possible. Be the result as it may, we are absolutely convinced that, a change of methods in marketing our produce -ip absolutely essential. The consignment system must be swept away before we can hope for success. Any change must be for the better. It would be of more advantage to the community in the long run to have the fruit rot in the orchards than to be sent out at prices that do not begin to pay for the cost of production. Along these lines runs the straight road to ruin. A proposal is now under consideration whereby one of the Nash houses on the prairies offer an agreement to buy all our fruit at a price to be fixed later on in the season, but with a guarantee that it shall not go below a minimum of one cent per lb. We do not profess to be able to pass judgement on this pro- posed-bargain. This is a matter that must receive most earnest consideration of the new board of directors.. But whether it be accepted or not, we must reach out this season for a closer and more direct connection between the grower and the retailer. The expense that stands between the producer and consumer must be greatly reduced. This has been advocated with more or less persistency since the co-operative movement was started. But two years have now passed, and apparently no real effort has been made to reach this goal. At any rate we are no nearer it now than we were when the Central was, brought into being. We say that this must be done or. at least a-wholehearted attempt be made to reach this end, or a general smash- up of the co-operative system may be speedily expected. We are in possession of information that compels us to accept this view. We know that a very large percentage of growers have determined to cancel their contracts this season unless this policy is adopted. We can conceive of no greater calamity that can happen the industry at this stage than the collopse of cooperation. And we feel certain that this can only be avoided by entering upon a determined effort to sell our fruit direct to the wholesaler and retailer on the prairies and at the coast. This, we admit, cannot be affected with any degree of completeness in one season; but a start in that direction must be made this year if we hope to hold the growers together.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdNews. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd> Ml It V ~\\. wmj& _____ ffiT^r-^T^*'^r W?Z\"xf' ^-T^J-^^TT^ ^^rc^^^'-T^\"^\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd<-*>r\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd-q\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd-T----CT^ ,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd,-\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd---,,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.... \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd... \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd ^.r7-y--T.n.
