The United States system of\ngovernment is more ngid than the\nBriti&h and less responsive to the will\nof the people, but m the matter of\nhaving elections at regular intervals\nit has its advantages On his return\nfrom attending the lecetft session of\n. th9 provincial legislatuie, D. McPherson, Liberal member for Grand Porks,\nwas asked by the editor of the local\nnewspaper, \"Have you any opinion to\n, express regarding an election?\"'. To\n'which Mr. McPheison replied: \"The\nmatter is in the lap of the gods\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdor\nthe lap of Dr. MacLean. It will depend on a number of things, the chief\nof which, I would suppose, is the P.\nG. E. sale. Por my part I feel that\nthe sooner we have it over with the\nbetter.. There is still too much playing politics in our public life and the\nfears and prayers of some people under the stress of this expectancy cannot benefit any country at large.\" Mr.\nMcPherson is quite right about the\nbad effect generally of a long period\n.of doubt \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdas to when an election is\n- likely to take place. As matters stand\n'in British Columbia today it.is not.\nt the desires or the best interests of the\n',,.country that will be considered in con-\n'-'\" nection with the fixing of the date of\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd tlie next election. The Government,\n1 and it would be just the same if an-\nv other (set of men of a different political complexion were m power, will call\nthe election whenever ib considers the\n- outlook is best to scoie a comeback.\nShould a favorable sale of the Pacific\nGreat Eastern Railway elephant be\nmade within the ne^t few months\ntheh there will be an immediate elec-\n_^tion._But should the neggti^tigns^haiig\n; fire for a considerable period it mighf\nv be postponed until 1929 and we will\nhave still another pre-election session\ndevoted largely to the making of .\/political capital. While there is a good\ndeal to be said on the other side of\ntho question, it is probable that the\nmajority of electors will agree with the\nLiberal member for Grand Forks in\nexpressing the opinion that the time\n- has come when the political parties of\nBritish Columbia shoulU go to the mat\nand remove,.the present state of uncertainly which is not good for the\n- ; province.\nSAVE THE FORESTS\nButcher: \"This pound of butter you\nsent me is three ounces short.\"\nGrocer: \"Well, I mislaid the pound\nweight, so I weighed it by the pound\nof chops'you, sent me yesterday.\nPerplexed\nThe car had broken down, and the\npair of legs protruding from underneath seemed to indicate that repairs\nwere in progress.\n\"Had a breakdown?\" inquired a passerby.\n\"Oh, no, only playing hide-and-seek\nwith the works,\" came a muffled voice\nfrom underneath the car. But the\nquestioner was not easily daunted.\n\"What power car is it?\"\n\"Forty horse.\"\n\"What's wrong with it?\"\n\"Well, as far as I know.\" came the\nanswer, \"thirty-nine horses have bolted, and the remaining one is too upset\nto answer questions.\"\nWilliam Greenwood, proprietor of the\nTwo Friends Hotel, at Slocan City,\ndied very suddenly on April 5th. He\nwas an old-timer of the Slocan.\nIt is appealing to learn that since\nthe arrival of the white man in Canada, forest fires have destroyed 60% of\nher primeval forest wealth. Four or\nfive times as much timber has been\nburned in this country as has been cut\nfor th<*\ufffd\ufffduses of man and the requirements of commerce. Dissipation of our\naccessible timber supplies within a\nperiod of twenty-five years is forecast.\nTo bring home to the minds of Canadians before it is too late, the tragic\nloss that will result to this country if\nour forest areas are totally destroyed,\nCanadian Forest Week has been set\naside. In the press, in the schools, in\nclubs and public gatherings, the importance of Canada's forest industries will\nbe drawn to public attention. If everybody in Canada realized that thousands of families and millions of capital are dependent upon the Canadian\nforests, everybody would think twice\nbefore throwing down lighted matches\nor cigarette stubs, or lighting fires in\ndangerous places and leaving them to\nspread on or below the surface of the\nground. Carelessness has \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd. destroyed\n60%. The axe'has taken 13%. Only\ncarefulness will save the 27% of our forest wealth that remains.\nHon. Charles Stewart, Minister of\nthe Interior, has to do with Canada's\nforests, and it-is encouraging to note\nhis activity in arousing public opinion\nas to the situation and the. imperative\nneed for care in preventing forest.fires\nA Satisfactory Explanation\nShe: \"So. ypu were in your last\nplace three years?
