Now, tor many\nyears, as most people In British Columbia know, I was a fairly sturdy\nand consistent opponent of the author of Bowserism. But I am free to\n6ay that I never in all those years\nfound symptoms of cowardice, moral,\nphysical or otherwise in Premier\nBowser. On the other hand his opponents have generally found him\nready to meet them more than half\nway in a fight. He has never run\naway from a fight that I am aware\nof. .Moreover, I never knew Mr. Bowser when he would not meet his bitterest opponent with a smile and a\nhandshake. Further than that, I have\nfrequently found him disconcertingly\nfrank. He has a fashion of laying his\noards on the table face up, with a\ncandor that flabbergasts his opponents. He will tell you just what he\nIntends to do and how he intends to\ndo it, knowing full well that you are\ngoing to do your level best to defeat\nhim in his efforts, which ls not the\ni way of a coward.\nUnpopular Duties.\nIn his capacity at Attorney-General he has had to do many unpleasant things, things he knew would\ntend to make him unpopular. As the\nfirst lieutenant of Premier McBrlde,\nit seemed to be an understood thing\nthat If the Government had to take\na stand that would prove unpopular,\nMr. Bowser was the one chosen to\nbear that unpleasant part. To such\nan extent was this carried that for\na long time it looked as if the Attorney-General might be blazing a\ntrail to his own political grave. It ls\nnot to be supposed he did not know\nwhat all this must mean for him. Yet\nhe never appeared to shirk any unpleasant duty that was laid upon\nhim. All this goes to show, of course\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094If It needed proving\u00E2\u0080\u0094that Mr.\nBowser Is not a coward, nor a poltroon, and that Bowserism cannot\nreferendum act, but, following the\nprecedent of the Manitoba Legislature, passed one at once. He further\nsupplemented this by drastically re-\nknowing that he would find arrayed during the hours for selling liquor\nagainst him not only the liquor in-j during the war. On this point Mr.\nBrewster has never committed himself. And if the referendum carries\nthe prohibition law, drafted and approved by the prohibitionists, will e-o\nInto effect July 1, 11317.\nDuring the by-elections Mr. Brew-\nthat Issue was doubly\nthey were elected, they would prove\nit.

U'e will\nput one or both of you on all committees. We will suspend the rules\nso you can delve into the public accounts as far back as you want to\ngo. We will extend the session to the\nlimit of our powers.\" And Bowserism\ndid that.

Mosl of them, be it said\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 their credit, have made a virtue of\nii cessity and have achieved very\nconsiderabh savings in expenditure\nwithout abandoning any of the essential civic cctivities or losing in efficiency. On tlie contrary, in many departments more real public service\nIs being rendered today, at less, cost,\nthan was obtained in the days of extravagant spending.\nThe last yearly accounting of this\ncity's administration is still sufficiently fresh in the citizens,' mind to\nmake unnecessary the repetition of\nthe savings effected in comparison\nwith, say, the year, 1013. Further\nwest, where the tendency to open-\nhandedness was even more strongly\nmarked than in \"Winnipeg, economies\nhave also been effected which are\nmore noticeable by contrast. The\ncities of Edmonton and Saskatoor.\nhave re :rtly struck half-yearly balances and both show very creditable\nresults.\nThe gravity of the situation in\nwhich Ihe former city found itse'f at\nthe end of 1914 and the strenuous\nmeasures of curtailment practised\nduring 1011\", producing a saving of\nover half a million dollars, are familiar to Winnipeg readers. The continuation of the process dining the\nfirst half of the current year has\nagain resulted in reductions of expenditure totalling over$100,000; this, it\nIs anticipated, will grow into the\nneighborhood of a quarter of a million by the end of the year. Thus\nclose upon $7330,000 will have been\nsaved in two years. '\nBREWSTER'S WRIT.\nII. C.
