WEART AT the dominating .convention held in Bursill Institute, Mr. J. \Y. Weart was unanimously chosen as the Liberal standard bearer for the new constituency made Up of South Vancouver east of Fraser Avenue and the Municipality of Burnaby. In Mr. Weart the Liberals have been successful in securing a candidate who will carry the flag with honor. Mr. Weart has not been noted for his keen partisanship and he will receive in the forthcoming election support from Liberals and Conservatives alike. Mr. Weart's opponent in convention was Mr. Hugh Fraser., Reeve of Burnaby, a gentleman of high character and integrity. There was friendly rivalry between Mr. Weart and Mr. Fraser and in making the selection a delicate task fell to the delegates in convention. Mr. Fraser it was who moved that the nomination of Mr. Weart be made unanimous. Burnaby and South Vancouver are therefore lined up behind Mr. Weart to a man, and if the right thinking people go to the polls upon election day there will he no question as to what is likely tn happen tn the Government candidate, j ./ RECORD OF SHAME HIS we claim is tlie only title thai can truthfully be given to the record of the last twelve years of the ll. C machine. An election is being brought upon [us. Does the war situation of the Empire demand it 'or is there' a still greater issue than the war lhat de- i mauds that the voice eif tin- people be heard in decision upon it ? There' is a great issue and it demands our attention. The prodigality nf the machine calls fm- a drastic halt and investigation. When thousands upon thousands nf acres eif the fines! lands ni I',. C. have been ruthless- j ly given away, when millions nf our money have been handed to railway porporations, and when corrupt practices of the meanest and most contemptible kind have been exposed as tbe wnrk nf the machine, then war or no war. it is time to call a halt. Shameful exposures have been made time after time during tbe last three years nf tbe life nf the machine, corrupt and disgraceful acts by individual cogs of the machine have been exposed, and now the machine itself has broken down. After years of squandering nf the Province's resources, after years nf misuse and mismanagement, and after years of base treachery tn the people of British Columbia, thi' machine lias failed at last and is down and mit. People nf this great west Province, men nf integrity and honor, what will you say to it all? Will you still condone tlie shameful practices of the machine nr will ynu rise in your might and send il once and for all to its own place���to eternal perdition. An election is needed; yes, more than needed, anil wdien it comes there must lie no uncertain answer tn thc call to the polls. Vote and vote right. What good thing has the machine ever done for this, the finest of all the provinces of this great dominion ? Where are the riches and resources nf B. C?

We have advocated this before now and we advocate it again, that the medical officer of this municipality slinuld be instructed to examine into the mental condition of certain individuals around the municipal hall, and perhaps a solution to the whole trouble would be speedily found.

Our municipal chamber is no place for vaudeville. and the B BY THE WAY m REEVE COLD A PROVINCIAL CANDIDATE IT is stated upon good authority that Mr. Edward Gold, reeve of South Vancouver, is likely to be a candidate in the forthcoming contest and will carry thc Tory banner against J. W. Weart. Mr. Gold would undoubtedly be the most powerful individual the Conservatives could put up in the Municipality, in the event of his election he would no doubt create some hub-bub at Victoria. It is only natural that he should consider the nomination. He has found after three years' fighting that thtere is little for him to do in South Vancouver in the way of rooting out evil. Should he turn to the Provincial arena, however, there would be a splendid field in which he could revel to his heart's content, get much glory for himself and do much good for tbe Province of liritish Columbia of which, we understand, he is a native son.

The situation of this municipality's affairs is nne. which to the educated and intelligent ratepayer, ought to be the cause of much deep concern. A deadlock in tlie municipality's affairs has been| reached and unless the provincial government is tei ]ser will look when faced by a man of this calibre.

However, the right thinking people of the district, Liberal or Conservative, know that Mr. Camp- hell is today a member of the sewerage board dominated by the Bowser influence, though financed by the joint municipalities. In days gone by Mr. Campbell was a straight Liberal, we are informed. It is unfortunate that his associations with one Prank llowser. president of the sewerage board, should seem to demand that ht line up with a Conservative association. It is a well-known fact, admitted at Kalenberg Hall by Premier Bowser himself, that any man seeking work on the sewer board first had to have a ticket from a Conservative association. Any man who as a member of such a body, drawing a substantial salary from the municipality, who would lend himself to such measly tactics, cannot expect to have the support of any reasonable body of men. was a disgrace and a humiliation to the municipality! A council elected by the ratepayers and put into office to administer the affairs of the municipality find themselves unable to do any business and are compelled to sit like helpless babes and allow an autocrat to waste their time antl efforts by a power, which if legal, is certainly not rightly so. No man should have power to 00 what is being done in our municipal chamber today, and the sooner the people of South Vancouver demand a change, the sooner will the municipality be benefited. Is there any reason or common sense in the actions of Reeve Gold today? None whatever! At Monday's meeting, Councillor Allen made a motion wdiich was carried unanimously, and wdiich woultl have resulted in the present troubles all being got over, the responsible ! rcsol,ition being that the council as a committee of the whole should go thoroughly into every department of the municipality's work and by a thorough inspection clean up the whole business.

MACHINISTS UND FOUNDERS IKON AND BRASS CASTINGS FIRE HYDRANTS AND SPECIALS REPAIRS OT ALL DESCRIPTIONS It is no exaggeration to say that one of the most vulnerable point', of the gnat liritish Empire is the Suez Canal, that wonderful artificial waterway that connects the Mcditer- raoean with the Red Sea, and, incidentally, severs the two cotitincts of Africa and Asia. It is the great highway to India and the F.ast. and its value to the Empire, both commercially and strategically, is ack'nowleelg- cel by Statesmen and military critics alike. Its vulnerability was strikingly emphasized on thc rupture with Turkey, when lhat country concentrated on the Turco-Kgyptian frontier a large force eif troops, thus threatening to seize the canal and invade Egypt. The stretch of country bctwwen the canal and the Turkish frontier is appropriately known as the Desert of Till, or thc Desert of Sin, and is a dreary, bleak, and waterless wilderness, about 120 miles wide. It is only crossed by a couple of ancient caravan routes, one running to Palestine by skirting the Mediterranean coast, and the other to the Sinai Peninsula, also by way of the coast. For and army to cross this desert successfully a number of camels would be needed. For this reason, no doubt, tlle Turks induced the discontented Bedouins of Southern Palestine to join them in their attack on Egypt, on the promise, probably, of certain concessions or privileges. For them the desert has no real terrors, and they are also born lighters. An attack upon the canal, then, could only come from the desert, and that Turkey could, if she desired, throw a large force on the Egyptian frontier here there is no denying, mainly through the work of the Germans in linking up her cities with railways. On the Baghdad line alone Germany has already sunk over $45,- 000,000, This money has been advanced by German banks on security given by the Ottoman government. Indeed, few realize to what extent Turkey is in Germany's debt; hence thc Teutonic influence at the Porte. Although the Egyptian government and the Suez Canal authorities have always realised the possibility of attack upon their waterway from Turkey eivcr the Egyptian-Palestine frontier, no steps have been taken tei frustrate it in the way of specially designed forts. Rather is has been contended that the desert is the canal's greatest protection. A few destroyers, with the assistance of the garrison at Cairo, should be sufficient, it is argued, to defeat any attack made upon it from this quarter. The possibility of any heavy guns being dragged across the desert is regarded as very remote, and what artillery the Turks and Bedouins managed to bring up w:mld be outranged and outclassed by the guns of the British and French warships, while, if the recognized caravan routes were followed, the invaders weiuld be liable to be shelled from the warships off the coast. ��� Still, the need of adequately pro- tecting the canal from the dangers of assault is obvious. The canal has reduced the distance between India and Western Europe from 11,379 to 7,628 miles, thereby effecting a saving of at least ten to twelve days in the journey. The channel owes its inception to the energies of that wonderful engineer, M. de Lesseps. To ascertain whether such a scheme was possible, the engineer betook himself to the wilderness, and dwelt there for four years, making observations and boring all along the course of the future canal. Sixty camels were needed to carry the fresh water, stores, and e- quipment of the little party of engineers, who for months at a time were completely cut off from thc outside weirld, tramping the lonely desert, quietly but painstakingly carrying out their surveys. One of the first things M. dc Lesseps ascertained was the fact that the level of the two seas was thc same, and that there would be no danger of an inundation. A sojourn of a whole year on the shores of Lake Menzaleh satisfied him that a secure harbor could be constructed there. Patient watching, and repeated scientific experiments, proved that the sand of thc desert did not accumulate, as was commonly believed; and borings made at nineteen separate points between thc Red Sea and the Mediterranean, showed the soil of the isthmus to bc firm and fixed, and therefore not liable to becinie slimy, as the opponents of thc undertaking had predicted. In the isthmus there arc number of lakes, and M. de Lesseps boldly decided to run his canal through them or into them. Before the canal was cut, however, many of them wcre virtually dried-up depressions which have now become lakes of considerable size. In all, the canal passes through five��� Lake Menzaleh, Lake Ballah, Lake Timsah and the Great and Small Bitter Lakes. The canal track in these lakes has an aggregate length of twenty-seven miles, the total length of the waterway, from Port Said, on the Mediterranean, to Suez, on the Red Sea, being 100 miles. Before much excavation work Could be carried out along the route of the proposed waterway the engineers had practically to build Port Said. No material could be collected nor workshops erected here until a 'Channel had been dug through the bare sand and docks constructed in which large ships could enter with their cargoes eif stores. It was further necessary to build a vast breakwater, for the twofold purpose of keeping the mud out of the canal and enabling vessels to approach the mouth of thc waterway with safety, even in rough weather. CHIMNEY SWEEPING CITY ^S5tf ������? Phone Seymour 5293 FLAG POLE8 PAINTED 409 Dunsmuir 8treet This breakwater is one nf the striking features e,f the port. The western pier runs e,ut tn a distance e,f meere than a mile, and is 1,51.0 yards distant from the eastern pier���and are abe.ui 1.KX) yards in length. From Port Said the canal crosses abemt twenty miles of Lake Menzaleh, in which it is over 300 feet wide at thc surface. Twenty-two miles further em, it reaches Lake Timsah, by means of a cut dug threiugh the ground to a depth varying frum thirty lo eighty feet. Lake Timsah itself is three miles long, and at this point the flourishing town nf Ismailia, where many of the etnpleiycfs of the company reside, has taken the place of a feermcr small Arab village. To Lake Timsah a fresh-water canal was made freem I he Nile, tee supply the population engaged on thc line of the maritime waterway. When this canal was completed a great saving of expense was effected, as thc cost of bringing fresh water from the Nile for the workmen had been very excessive. The work from Lake Timsah to the edge of the Bitter Lakes was very heavy. Briefly, cuttings had to bc maele for sixty-six miles of the course, while fourteen miles of the bed were dredged through the lakes, leaving but eight miles requiring no'works of any kind. The Khedive supplied an army of fellaheen, 30,000 strong, for the heavier and more laborious parts of the work. After they had been engaged for some time, they were suddenly withdrawn by instructions of the authorities at Cairo. These men were forced laborers. They had been sent to work on the canal by the orders of the Khedive, much against their own wishes. It looked as if thc sudden withdrawal of labor would wreck the whole scheme. The engineers, however, were equal to the emergency. They hired as many fellahs as they could, and superseded manual labor to a large extent by ordering powerful dredging macines and clavators of colossal dimensions. The quantity of material removed by these gigantic excavators was 2,- 763,000 cubic yards a month. In all, 80,000,000 cubic yards of sand, earth, and rock were excavated bef'ire the canal was completed! The last barrier was pierced on August 15th, 1869, almost exactly ten years from the date of commencing the work, and on November 17th following, the waterway was opened for traffic. The enterprise had demanded an outlay of $70,000,(100���more than double the original estimate of the cost. M. de Lesseps was sanguine enough to estimate that the tonnage of tlie ships passing througii the waterway Would be three millions in the first year, and probably twice as much during the second year. As a matter of fact, only 491 vessels used the canal during the first year, representing an aggregate tonnage of 436.618, and the channel was seven years old before the three million mark was reached. In 1913 no fewer than 5.085 ships passed through the canal. They represented an aggregate tonnage of 20,- 033.8S4, and the fees paid amounted to close upon $20,000,000. Ordinary cargo steamers are charged $1.25 per lon, passenger steamers $1.50 per ton, and $2.00 for each passenger. Like everything else, it required experience to find out thc most efficient way of handling the large and valuable ships that the waterway specially catered for. Pot instance, it was not unlil 1886 that ships could pass through the canal at night. This difficulty was got over by making each ship illumine her own course by carrying a powerful searchlight capable of spreading light 4,000 feet ahead. Those vessels which do not possess such lights can hire them on entering the waterway at Port Said, and return them on leaving Suez. The first ship that effected a free passage by night was thc P. and O. steamer "Cartilage," which accomplished the journey in eighteen hours. Pievious- ly, vessels had taken anywhere from twenty-four to thirty-six hours. A line system for giving speed to all ships in transit is in operation, much resembling thc well-known railway "block" system, The company controls the departure and entrance of all ships, the eirder of procedure being wholly in their hands. No ship may demand immediate passage for any reason, but preference is given to regular mail steamers under Government control. These carry blue signals and a white light at night. The canal is blocked out in divisions, and at the head office in Ismailia, a model of thc canal shows the exact moving position of every ship in the waterway. No vessel may proceed until the way is clear. A complete system of telegraphic signals ensures this condition being observed. Dotted along the banks at regular intervals are small stations, each furnished with a high masthead, from which red and yellow balls by day and colored lights by night announce to each vessel whether to proceed through the next division or to "tie-up" and wait for one to go by from the opposite direction. Ships going the same way arc not allowed to pass each other. Vessels of small tonnage may pass when travelling in opposite directions, or a large steamer may pass a small one. the latter drawing into the bank while thc larger one goes by. The rules governing the passage of vessels arc certainly strict. Written information as to his ship must be handed in by each captain���her name, nationality, draught, and port of sailing and destination, as well as his own name and that of owners and charterers, number of passengers and crew. Naturally, nothing must be thrown overboard, especially ashes and cinders, also, nothing is to be picked up, notice of any article lost overboard being given at the nearest station. No guns shall be fired and SIX REASONS WHICH ACCOUNT FOR THE SUPERIORITY OF CREOSOTED WOOD BLOCK PAVEMENTS ITS DURABILITY���Does not crumble or pulverize under the densest traffic; second only to granite blocks ITS EASE OF REPAIR���No difficulty being experienced in removing and replacing the blocks; no expensive plant or skilled workmen required. ITS SANITARY QUALITIES���Creosote being a highly antiseptic and waterproofing material instantly destroys all germs, prevents the absorption of street filth and consequent decay. ITS NOISELESSNESS���The rattle and bang of vehicles passing over its smooth surface absorbed and muffled till the quiet of the dirt toad is obtained. ITS DUSTLESSNESS���Does not pulverize; the heaviest traffic only pounding down the wood fibres to offer the greater resistance. TTS CLEANLINESS���Having a smooth surface and being waterproot it does not differ in this respect from asphalt. We manufacture blocks of the highest possible standard, the verv best materials only being used and in the DOMINION WOOD BLOCKS we believe we produce an article that has no equal.

One rule also states that burial in the canal banks is strictly forbidden. All sailing vessels above fifty tuns must be lowed; if above one hundred tons, they must take a pilot; anel nn sailing craft may navigate at night. Though pilots are compulsory, the entire responsibility rests with the captain. If a collision appears inevitable, all ships are instructed to run aground te, avoid it, the sandy and yielding nature of the shallows near the hanks offering the less of two evils; but no floating ship is permitted to help off a grounded one. Since 18% something like $5,000,000 has been expended tipmi the widening and impmvement of this great waterway. When lirst opened, the channel had a uniform depth of 25 feet. It is now 31 feet deep, 108 feet wide at the bottom, and 420 feet at the water level. It is still being deepened and widened. Quite apart from this work, a whole fleet of dredgers are continually engaged on merely keeping the channel free from sand. We get some idea eif the magnitude of this task when it is stated that last year over twe, million cubic yards of mat erial were taken mil of the canal by these dredgers. Despite thc heavy est entailed in running the waterway and keeping it open feer traffic, the scheme has almost from the lirst been a financial success, and Suez Canal share, are always much sought after. By tlit purchase in 1875. for $16,000,000 of the 176,602 $100 original shares held by the Khedive," the British Government obtained joint control over thc canal with France. Twelve years later a convention was signed at l'aris which placed the canal under a jeiinl Commission, and guaranteed its neutrality and a free passage fnr ships in time of war. The waterway being jointly owned by the British and French governments, these powers have full right to take any steps that may be necessary to guard the waterway against attack, and wc may rely upon their doing so.

KILLING THE BABIES Mosl mothers love babies, but it is a strange combination i'i love and ignorance em the pari of mothers that cause- twenty-live per cent, of "iir babies to 'lie 1" fori tin) n acb one year of age. Mothers frequently and with tlu' hesi intentions feed and dress their haliies in ,1 manner that, le r the sake of a better term, i- simply "killing the babies with kindness." Whai is the meaning of the worldwide interesi in Child Welfare' today? li mean- that sociologists, philanthropists, eugenists. all thoughtful weemen and men, are discovering that the welfare of thc child holds such an important place in our social and national life, that no longer can this -tinl\ be neglected. Then' is a God-given instinct in every decenl man and woman that eri,s oul for protection i"r the children. I he world can look with comparative composure al dead men in trenches and shattered cathedrals; bul maimed, naki d, starving children 1- a sight it cannol bear without passion and amazement, and a strong desire in ilu things, The' mortality among children is dreadful, li a like death rate should lake place with our cows, borsi s, or pigs, the Government would at once take action and Bee to it that the cause was removed. The cause e.i this enormous mortality among children i.s ignoranct���the ignorance ol parents compulsory education; and the ont | thing needful for the perpetuati m ind 1 welfare nf the limn,in family is not in j the curriculum. The conservation of human life��� the knowledge that will lessen the number of tinj urines in thc cemeteries, and ihe' saddened hearts ol loving parents���this is the information the lleiier Canadian Babies Bureau is trying to diffuse. First ol all ought i" be the child s privilege to be burn right, > ��� 1 healthy parents, having no history "i mental disease, malignant troubles, tuberculosis, or alcoholism. The child does not select its parents, and ii is a tragical situation if. as the child grows up, ii learns i" deplore that such is thc case. Pre-natal influences and their effect up.m the menial and physical condition of later life might be profitably studied by prospective parents. In fact, if the same care and common. sense useel in the management of the domestic animals wen- applied in llie rearing of chilei-cn it would be a greai ' improvement em the present ] methods. M.ethers have it in their power to see t.e il that there are ������better Canadian babies," and as a natural result there will be mure of them. * �� * Calves and chickens come before babies in these elays of higher education. Thousands of dollars arc spent by "iir governments to teach us hnw to care ior and feed calves and chickens, but die! you ever hear ol one dollar being spent t'i teach Canadian mothers how to care' for iheir babies either before or after birth?

Councillor Russell here addressed the reeve and characterized his action as unmanly and degrading, and the reeve at mice called feir the constables present iu the hall to remove the councillor for addressing him in this manner, claiming thai the councillor was mit showing proper respect to him as reeve. The officers present refused to remove Councillor Russell, and Councillor Russell refused tn apologise, saying he had nothing tee apologise for and would nol leave bis chair.

Reeve Gold: "Then we don'l need the police up here." Councillor Welsh: "I claim Reeve Geild you have used just the same kind of language to tiie councillors on several occasions and tliey have just as much right to their opinions as you have. Ymir statement on Friday night regarding the old country people and tlle smelling oi aii old dirty rag was a direct insult tn the whole of the ratepayers of this municipality."
