MURDER AT CRANBROOK I ♦'<•*>■ A dastardly murder was committed at a ranch a short distance from Cranbrook aibout 9 o'clock on Sunday night, when S. -Sassomata (Japanese) owner of the Tanch, went out of the shack to finish his chores before retiring for the night. He had only. been.out a very short time when his wife, who was in the shack, heard the report ot a gun nearby, and rushing out found her husband lying on the ground with part of his face blown off, resulting from receiving a charge of shot at short range. He expired In about five minutes. Acting Chief Provincial Constable Welsby made a hurried trip to Cranbrook iMonday afternoon and took charge of the case. The guilty party or parties were clever enough not to leave any tangible clues' behind, but on Wednesday Chief Welsby had procured sufficient evidence to warrant the placing under arrest of another Japanese resident of Cranbrook, -by* the name of Katsura. SasBomata, the deceased, had apparently some deadly and cowardly enemy or enemies, as some ten months ago he was attacked one night and brutally beaten up, and presumably left for dead. He recovered, however, after being treated In the hospital at Cranbrook for some considerable time. The perpetrators of this crime were never discovered. 2 NOTICE The will be a meeting of the above lodge at the K: P. Hall on (Monday next, at 8 p. m„_w.hen all brethern are requested to attend.

FRANK WIN REPLAY TIE FOR THE MUTZ CUP Tfie replay, which was caused by Coleman drawing with Frank last Saturday at Coleman, took .place op. Wednesday at Frank.

Ho gathered tho ball, lowered and cleared, but Hutton managed to rsacti villi his head and placed the first and only goal on record for Frank.

In the early part of last week the fire situation kept them working night and day, while on Saturday they started paying off the fire fighters. The absurdities and inconsistency of modern civilization could not possibly have been better expressed than by the fact that on Tuesday we had the Daughters of the Empire collecting for a hospital ship to succor the wounded, while on the other side of the street the recruiting authorities were busy' enlisting men to wound and kill. And this great Christian country sends missionaries to convert the heathen! Verily Is our civilization uplifted.

The replies are as varied as tlie hues of the chameleon. Individuals take opposite sides according to the particular piece of laud where they happened to he born. Sublime egotism ! At times like these reason is temporarily dethroned and rabid passion governs. • The brush of a Vevastchagin, the pen of a Fi'tz- yatrick and the like-like portrayal by the moving pictures of the stomaeh-skkening horrors of legalized wholesale murder do not stem the rising tide of blood lust one particle. The exordium "Thou shalt not kill" is ineffective and they who are supposedly the teachers of this doctrine are loudest in their appeals to the populace to slay, maim and destroy. All sorts of lame excuses' are offered in extenuation, but this does riot alter the fact that the motto of these agitators should be "Inconsistency, thou art a jewel." "What is this war about?" We will try to explain, and know that the logic is flawless, still, reason being badly twisted, it is not to be expected that this explanation will be accepted by the majority. Xo, the deeply rooted disease,'' Patriotism,'' the product of generation, carefully nourished by those whose interests are involved is a hardy plant and its eradication a difficult problem. There is one thing certain, that this is to be the most sanguinary conflict known to history. Who ■^nn^ayrff^'iniiT^nre^raTis^imTiaX^wapn^ to do the fighting, both on the battlefield ami in " industrial occupations. How to make this clear to those who will not recognize the fact that "labor produces all wealth" is no easy task, however, as we know that "constant dropping of water will wear away the hardest stone," in like manner a fow drops of logic may penetrate the hard heads of even the ultra patriotic. The war is in progress. Fact No. 3. The toll of misery cannot be computed. Fad Xo. 2. Very few of those out to butcher each other have any personal grudge. Fact No. 3. The working class of all the countries must bear the bnmt of the fighting. Fact. No. 4. The working class of all the countries must pay Iln-cost of tho struggle. Fact No. 5. The fight is between different factions of the capitalist class for the purpose of grabbing the surplus values produced by the wage earners. Fact Xo. 0. Here are six fuels that ennnot be contradicted, then why in the name of common sense should the working class uf different loiuitricx murder each OUR COUNTRY! Opposition to war is considered by the ultra- "patriot as little short of treason, and if some of the hot-blooded war boosters ha'd their way, or did not this toM'n posses a strong leavening of men capable of sane and sober judgment, uv might look for the excesses that took place at Birmingham ancl Plymouth thirteen years ago when the present Chancellor of tlie Exchequer (Lloyd George) and Sir Edward Clarke dared to oppose the campaign against the Boers. On those occasions we find the worker vieing with the bourgeoise in stoning and abusing two men who dared to hohl views different from the majority. AVe also see the same men, three years later occupying positions of great trust in the British Parliament—honored and respected by all. Verily public opinion is a fickle jade. Think! the very man who had been accused of treason, treachery and every crime against patriotism (?) occuping a position second only to the Premier three years later! You will observe. Mr. Header, that the spirit of patriotism prevailing at such times is largely created and stimulated by bright uniforms, brass bands, ete. The soul-stirring strains of "Rule Britannia" sound splendid and thrill every nerve and fibre of our body—you lift your head and stick out your chest—"My county, 'tis for thee!" By 5:50 the next morning you have donned your pit clothes, grabbed your bucket and hiked for the train—and the mine. Not a slave! No! One thousand times no! A free Briton! You are not a slave to that whistle, perish the thought! You can quit your job any old time; yes, siree! And find another—p-e-r-h-a-p-s! It really does seem ridiculous to question that in our country (it's always ours when they want you to fight, dontcherknow!) we should experience any difficulty in getting a job, doesn't it? Still, we must not lose sight of our noble traditions, etc., and when called upon -should he ready to shoulder rifle in defense of our rights. (You never hail any rights before, and if you shouldered a rifle and fought for them, they gave you a few years in jail or pei'haps kept you busy chasing bullets.) There is one thing the worker should not lose sight of—a little military training is very useful, and who can tell when the question of our rights and our country might not be a little nearer home? Don't despise the methods of your masters—they have been good enough to subdue you, and why should not such methods be good enough to subdue tbem. The day may be far distant, the suggestion may be regarded by some as treasonable, ■but-it-wil Hheit-be-a-real-f iglt HONOR AMONG NATIONS 3 *• »■*_»**•» a 1 _ inuniit. und in defense of a real country—a country that is yours. The education of the working class consists in teaching who are their enemies, but it is poor policy to put philosophy against bullets, aud sooner or later our strength will have lo be shown. Fellow Workers: If you feel that you are likely to have an attack of patriotism, a mental disease that is affecting many throughout thc land, stop a minute nud ask yourself n few simple questions. How many years is it now since I first started to Work for wages! Uow much,have 1 put aside for a Vainy day? How does it happen that J, a member of that class that produces everything of value in the shape of commodities, have such hard rustling to make ends meet ? Why should I go forth nt the risk of life and limb and help to butcher Germans and Austrians when I can stay here, run no risks and work-in harmony with these foreign-speaking fellow workers? Why should I go abroad under the mistaken ini- other for iho gratification of those who batten on j p reunion that I am aiding lo protect home (?) ami their bodies, both in peac and war? The answer j kindml (?). when right here and now I can barely i« simple, the international working class, Intel, obtain enough to supply my pwn immediate fit mily lectually brighl as regards me-elmnieal subjects, is y<?t wofully ignorant touching social consciousness. "Accuracy is. jn every case advantageous to beauty and just reasoning to delicate sentiment. In vain would we exalt the one by depreciating the other."—Mills. To the average patriotic Britisher, thc action of Great. Britain in maintaining the neutrality of Belgium 'Jjy engaging; in war with Germany ami* Austria, is nothing short of heroic. They can only see in such action the beautiful sentiment of defending the weak against the strong. The fact that Germany has engaged in. this war to maintain the independence of'Austria against Russia and at the same time permit them to observe their honorable obligations towards the former nation is regarded by the Britisher as absurd. Yet. thc sacredness of Britain's cause is just as ludicrous to the, German as the righteousness of Germany's cause is to the average Britisher. , In the height of passion, or patriotism, call it what yon will, the calm, deliberate judgment of man gives place to a sentimental ruling that is neither logical nor just. Few people stop to- consider what, is meant by the oft printed tale of "Our country's danger." If it really is ours, we have reason for alarm. History has a most disconcerting knack of proving that a conquered nation is often better off under the conqueror than it was previously. Few would like to state that South Africa is worse'-off under British rule than was the ease under the.Boer republic' Neither cah it be satisfactorily proved that the residents bf the Provinces of Alsace-Lorraine are worse off under German rule than they were under the French, The remarkable progress made by Great Britain during the last hundred years is a striking tribute to,the Teuton, when we realize that the reigning powers have been direct descendants of the Guelfs and Ghibellines, one of the oldest Teutonic families in the world. It would almost seem that our empire has beeu created during the reign of these Teutonic kings and queens. These may'seem disagreeable facte to the Britisher who has visions of fighting for king, country, traditions, etc., but history will verify, and the individual who has such a deadly hatred of the German might stop to consider the benefits that have been conferred upon us during thc reign of the Guelf family. "Nothing, at first, view, may seem more unbounded than the thought of man, which not only escapes all human power and atuhority, but is not even restrained within the limits of nature and reality. To form monsters, and join iucongruous shapes, and appearances, costs the imagination no more trouble than to conceive the most natural and familiar objects."—Mills.

Manager Selpple Lumber Co. Dr. Simmons, L. D. S., D. D. S„ dentist. Bank of Hamilton Building, opposite Trites-Wood Co. Vancouver prices. (Continued from Pace One) D. L. Miller has gone on a business trip to the States. On Sunday afternoon a discussion took place in the meeting as to the advisability ot starting an agitation for the formation of a I^abor party. It was pointed out that these were two Socialist parties in the country, . and that there was a large labor element that would not support either. The idea mentioned at the Local was to devise a plan whereby there could be a candidate placed in the field tbat would be acceptable to all parties, along the lines of the I. L. P. of Great Britain. There is no doubt that if should a party was started, it would receive suppdVt from a large number of armers and others who are not yet ready for the doctrine of Socialism, but who would support advanced labor legislation. As organized labor is getting Jt In the neck every time from the old party politicians, any plan that might help the situation should be welcome at this stage. At present the working class are divided among themselves on the question of tactics, and whiTeTfily are squai^Tng'ffiS_eapT*aa- Ists are enjoying the fun, and Incidentally the profits. The, question will be further discussed in Local 102. This town had a strong; Socialist vote, but on th* labor ticket the vote would be doubled. LET US NOT FORGET OUR BAND To the Editor of the District Ledger: Dear Sir:—The Ferule-Coal Creek Excelsior Brass Band gave a concert on Victoria avenue last Sunday night. The band had -their new Instruments out and are certainly beginning to let the citizens know that they mean business and are going to give only first- cltM mttaks. .The music rendered on Sunday evening was of a very high order and very appropriate, having regard to the 'prevailing patriotic feeling. When the band .played American airs they were loudly applauded, but when **Rule Britannia." "God Save ihe King" and "The iMarselllalse" were rendered, it seemed to stir the patriotism of the crowd, who cheered the band repeatedly, evidently appreciating their efforts. Tlie thought came to me a few days ago that if the city would only help the band along a little and give the people of Fernie a decent amount of free music, like most other cities in the west, they would feel more like voting for other bond issues. This PATRIOTISM By James P. Warbaate Patriotism, as It Is generally understood and practiced, means support of the acts of the'Government This U the general way "In which patriotism Is expressed. One who approves of the constitution, and the things that are done Jn the name of the flag, is cried up as patriotic. Thus, 140 yean ago, the patriots were those who stood by the flag of their country, their king, and the Government which he represented. Then* toriea were the so- called substantial people of the country. There were other* who went ao far na to criticise the ait* of the Government. They were such men at Pet- n!<*k Henry, George Washington, Thomas Paine and Thomae Jefferson, and these men were branded by the lovers ot country as unpatriotic fo- reenters of discontent. Yet in the with ever, the «nm«niin*si neeewMtriea of life, and those, tno, have been increased considerably by thej'ltht of'history, we now iee that tkt lhal they arc emerging from thin deplorable Htttte^iunfortund patriots! patriolt were the veriest rescUonsriss, is evidenced by the nt'1* of a t*w wim nr.'

Mutz'a Cup Seml-Flnal Tie Coal Creek vs. Hlllcrest—Another page in the history or the 'Mutz cup was turned over on Victoria park, Coal Creek, on Saturday last, when Coal Creek entertained HlHcreet. Referee John Moore, of Coleman, .liandled the game In a very creditable manner. From the commencement, Hlllcrest proved dangerous, ibut failed to piece the superb defense of the two Macs. After some end to. end play, in which the CreeTt showed good condition, Yates managed to get hie "head to the leather and put the ball Into the net. Hillcrest pressed, but -could not equalize. Johnstone failed to add another-by inches, the ball striking the upright. The whistle •sounded half time with Coal Creek 1, Hillcrest 0. On resumption, Hillcrest had most of the play for a time, and made sev- ■eral attempts to score. Then the locals rushed down and from a ball j placed towards the Hlllcrest goal, which was returned, .Manning met on the,rebound and drove into the net. Some good, hard play on both teams followed, but 'Hlllcrest failed to find the net. Shortly before time, Armstrong beat the Hillcrest goalie and notched the third, Coal Creek .winning by three clear goals. Several of the Hlllcrest boys stayed to enjoy the hospitality of the club members, and and thoroughly enjoyed _Jhgmge1vy«_irltji tha gnnri l-htngg **m. vided.

A lar-ge crowd gathered, but Fertile failed to put In an appearance, which necessitated Coal Creek putting a team on the field and -scor ing, thus claiming their place ln the semi-final. Where are the sports of the old days? The Coal Creek Junior F. C. journeyed to .Michel on Saturday last, to try conclusions with iMichgl F, C. The superb goaling of Martin ot Coal Creek saved the day. Jenkinson of .Michel was referee. A hard fought game resulted ln a win for Coal Creek by a score of 3 goals to 1. ■We were reminded of a masquerade night -by seeing several of the "flappers" disporting themselves on Tuesday evening. .

Upon authority of the officers of the Miners' Union in District 10, Washington, It may be stated that the Washington miners may confidently look forward to a satisfactory joint agreement. The committees of both parties, operators and miners, have been In session since Monday, July 27. The critical points ot the agreement were, encountered during the" beginning of the session, and it was then that very slow progress was made; since that time, however, If anything, the Reverse may be said. The miners are represented by International Board 'Members Farrington and Harlin, besides the three District officials. The operators are represented by Messrs .Brooks, Jones, Morgan, Johnston and Botting. Some of the young men ln our fair city are expressing tbe wish that the B. C, horse may be called upon for active service In Europe, so that they would have the opportunity to fight for their .flag, their country, and their King. For our part we commend them to a careful perusal of Mark Twain's "War Prayer," which follows: "O, Lord, help us to tear the soldiers of the foe to bloody shreds with our shells;.help us to cover their smiling fields with the .pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane rt_t\ro; J*gJP us t0 wring the hearts, of their offending widows with unavailing grief.

The Frank team went up to Coleman on Saturday to play for the .Mutz cup. To start with, there were only very few to see the game, so the "rooting" was a minus quantity; then Coleman's football field ls none too level for those who are not accustomed to its hills and valleys; inthis regard it is like al) grounds in the Pass. When the play began It was easily seen tliat Frank team was not at its best and Coleman was playing all around them till they got up near the goal, which they -couldn't go through, toward the end of the first half, Coleman kicked a corner, which was neatly headed into the net. The first half ended 1-0 ln favor bf Coleman. During the second half the play was very dull. Suddenly Frank came back to what they usually are, and for about ten minutes had all the .play, practically. Pat IMarrison scored for Frank with a fast shot that the Coleman goalie never saw. Though both sides worked hard for the remainder of the time, the score finished 1-1. Several dirty spots appeared in tbe game, fighting was seen at intervals throughout and one Coleman man and one .Frank man were put, on the fence for the rest of the time by Referee Wilson. The tie will be played off in Frank at 6 o'clock tomorrow Wednesday evening. .50 .50 .50 A,v .75 A. Perucpi B. Bermixk T. Kuyuin A. Kaletta J. Scobia J. Strang W. Harlin T." "'Miller J.
