The real issue between lhe electorate and Mr. Ilowser is not political but personal, anil unless thc premier and his supporters recognise this, they will go down to defeat at the coming general elections. Both Messrs.

He might refuse to allow his firm to practice criminal law. just as it is believed Mr. Bowser's firm refuses criminal cases, but the enormous amount of other business available through tlie office of the attorney-general would amply compensate any firm for the loss of defending or prosecuting a few criminals.

BOWSER THE Premier of British Columbia, the Honorable Win. J. Bowser, need not rely too much on the comforting assurance of his supporters, that the defeat of his two Cabinet ministers in the bye-elections in Vancouver and, Victoria is solely due to the desire ou the part of the electors to see an opposition in the local legislature. That there is such a desire everyone will admit, hut it does not attain the majorities tinder the weight of which Messrs. Tisdall and Flumerfelt sank from office. The sentiment of the electors has been plain for months; only those who were blinded by the past and their own personal bias could have failed to appreciate it. If Mr. Bowser had been Up for election instead of either of his ministers, he would have been defeated by still greater majorities. The plain fact is that the people of British Columbia neither see Mr. Bowser as he sees himself nor do they take him at his own valuation. * * * Through the Looking Glass Mr. Bowser sees himself as a dominating personality, a virile statesman of transceiidant powers, a dictator, an arbiter, whose lightest* word is taken seriously and whose mental powers are so far above those of other politicians in Hritish Columbia that he alone can judge what is or is riot good for the people. Like many vain men of small stature and heavy waist, he thinks he resembles Napoleon. Mr. Bowser poses as a man of indomitable strength, a fighter, an incisive and decisive speaker, careless of criticism, self-sufficient, concentrative. �� * * As Others See Him To the public he is nothing but a hard-working lawyer who has succeeded through politics in building up a private practice of somewhat large dimensions. His appearance is that of a rather stout, pompous little man, full of self- conceit and condescension. Shell him from his surroundings and he remains exactly what he always has been, a commonplace, undistinguished, arrogant, ambitious man. not over scrupulous, and willing to slave his head off if ,t will give him power and money, both of which are synonymous to him. Ile is clever, .or rather shrewd, but he has no imagination, and no sense of humor. Ile is calculating and cunning, and has succeeded as a politician but utterly failed as a statesman. His one public virtue is lhat he means what he says though he very seldom says what he means. This gives him a reputation for directness, fearlessness, and decision, when, truth to tell, it is but the impatience of an autocratic nature with a democratic constitution. 'His reputation for fearlessness rests entirely on the political foundation of his fortunes. With all thc cards in his hands, he struts like a gamecock. With opportunity but no cards, he coos like a sucking dove. * * + Distributing Largesse Witness the abnegation of this politically reflected autocrat the week following Mr. Tisdall's defeat. The knees of his fortitude gave way and he grovelled in a manner which disgusted his most ardent supporters. He ordered his non-political minister of finance, much advertised as a pre-eminent business man, to announce a shipbuilding programme of which the only definite feature was the fact that $2,000,000 was to be set aside in order to suckle an infant industry. If this was the first-born of a "business" government, then people of British Columbia may pray fervently that the other children will be still-born. He positively crawled to the prohibition delegates, ascribing his defeat in Vancouver largely to their machinations. Finally he decided to insure the Parliament building in Victoria for $2,250,000, in order to distribute the commission among the. fire insurance agents, many of whom were also agents for employers' liability companies, whose business he was oblivious of wrecking under the Workmen's Compensation Act, if only lie might secure the -political support of labor. Xo government buildings in Canada arc insured against fire as tbe risk is so small as to be practically neglible. * �� * Keeping Bad Company This 'distribution of largesse failed' utterly of its purpose. Incidentally it proved that prohibition had nothing The Fundamental Error The supporters of Mr. Bowser make this fundamental error. They imagine thai times have not changed and that there has been no spiritual awakening of the people. They still pursue the habits of an ostrich ami cover their heads in the sand of quibbles. They excuse Mr. Bowser's connection with the firm of Bowser, Reid and Wallbridge on tlie ground that every attorney-general iu Canada when in office keeps his law practice alive. They say that at worst it is human nature to throw business to a firm iu which an official supposedly representing the people, is personally financially interested in the fortunes of that firm. They cry with truth that Mr. Bowser is extremely hard working, and has borne the labor of administration in tbe past. They ask with a good deal of reason why a tried man like Mr. Bowser should be discarded in favor of a novice. They appeal for support on the foundation of the past. They call attention to Mr. Bowser's quickness, his abilities and his directness. * * * Serving Two Masters But they ignore the fact that a man cannot serve two masters. The cardinal sin of Mr. Bowser in the Dominion Trust disaster is not his connection with the paradoxically illegal legislation by which thc managing director, the late- Mr. W. R. Arnold, looted the company, but his connection with the firm of Bowser. Reid and Wallbridge. the solicitors for the defunct company. The electorate desire to know without quibbling the exact sum paid by the Dominion Trust Co. to Messrs. Bowser, Reid and Wallbridge for "legal advice in the last four years, and what part of that sum was pocketed by Mr. Bowser as a partner in the firm. They do not really care whether Mr. Bowser was hoodwinked by the late Mr. Arnold. What Ihey do care about, however, is the speech made by Mr. Bowier in his own defence last session, which raised a new standard of political immorality by ignoring the real issues, and dwelling with considerable nnctuoitsness on his great sorrow for the robbed depositors, while he jingled his portion of the fees in his pockets, Has Mr. Bowser ever attempted to return those fees or at least his portion of them? The Court of Public Opinion The only way out of ibis dilemma is by discussing it in the court of public opinion. Legally there is nothing criminal in taking advantage of the situation thus created. Morally it depends upon the Standard of personal honor, always most rigid when concerned with some one else's honor, but most elastic when applied lo personal matters. If, however, the legal position is secure, the moral posi- tion can be outflanked. At least that is the point of view nf so many politicians. There is nothing illegal in getting i reliable business friend to gather options on property surrounding a new site for a public building before announcement of that new site has been, made public, and selling those options when the announcement is made, at a very nice profit. There is nothing illegal in building a hotel and leasing it at high rates owing lo the nature of (he business carried on by the lessee. A busy landlord can always plead ignorance of bis tenants doings and plead that lie really cannot be responsible for them���as long as they pay their rent. The relation of the business to the income derived from that rent is a matter of morals, and morals are a matter of discovery. There is nothing illegal in appointing at an excellent salary a close relation j entirely unfitted by experience or training to a post of considerable technical responsibility and large expendi- ambitious Mr. Bowser, the members of the government parly are panic stricken. The new master has not con suited them upon any of the legislation which he has out lined. The result is that most of the members have beer made to look ridiculous. Some, for instance, who have been strong anti-prohibitionists, have been pledged to tlu policy of prohibition, Despite this, the occupants of the seats on the government side are absolutely powerless, Many of these gen tlemen have not raised their voices in public in years. I; lhe past these men delivered only such speeches as Si- Richard might suggest. And Sir Richard's private seen tary. Mr. R. E. Gosnell, usually did the writing of tli. speeches���masterpieces of diction which usually suffen- much in the reading. Sir Richard did not raise his legislature to be leaders to parody a popular song. Chinese highbinders are n more severe in their rules than lhe managers of a part- caucus. The caucus is a place of secrecy, A man who i prepared to take a stand in caucus against the leader- such as Mr. L. W. Shatford did when C. X. R. legislation' was first introduced���is mighty soon sweated and dis ciplined. There are in the House today, on the govern ment side, several men of ability and outstanding charai ter, who are anxious to do their best by the Province. Bul these men, unfortunately, are not prepared for leadershii The political school in which they were trained did no strive to develop individuality, initiative, independenc. They are the victims of the caucus. The McBride caucus has been the undoing of the party as well as of the conn try. BREAKFASTING HONEST IOHN OLIVER ture of public funds. There is nothing illegal in receiving applications for pre-emptions and holding them back until I J I1 in Fort George. Mr. Harlan Carey Brewster, leac another reliable friend has had the opportunity of exam- \\J er ��f the Liberal party, had an odd and somewlli ining the property and pre-empting it for himself. These costly experience some time back. It was early i things are not illegal���they are merely monetary gain. I the morning that Mr. Brewster ran upon a frieaid he ha They are playing the game of business with marked cards' not seen in some time. and with public funds. * * * The Excuse fc r Cheating Moreover these things are very difficult of proof even before the court of public opinion. It is difficult to obtain evidence as so many people, in a country of lavish public expenditure, rely on some part of that expenditure for their livelihood. In one form or another greal pressure can be exercised on any man likely lo "squeal," The multiplication of government officials and of government supervision or direct governmental activities in the life of any community multiplies the supporters of government. Under a system of elective government ownership of public utilites or of industries connected with the government, the danger is increased a thousandfold. Any man who is more or less dependent in politics for his livelihood is liable to excuse cheating on the ground that his party must have funds for their political campaigns, Truth to tell, even the public is apt to excuse this form of cheating on the ground that one man is as bad as another and that every politician will take advantage of his position to push his personal interests. The Kitsilano Reserve Mr. Bowser in his speech at the Orpheum Theatre the Thursday evening before Mr. Tisdall went down to defeat, mentioned thc case of the Kitsilano Reserve. He stated that the public was misled by the similarity of the name of Mr. Hamilton Read to that of Mr. Reid, his law partner. The latter, he said, had no connection whatever with the Kitsilano deal. It was consummated by Mr. Hamilton Read, a former clerk in his office who had severed bis connection with the firm before the deal was completed. Now Mr. Bowser knew perfectly well that nobody was misled by this similarity of names. The public wanted to know when thc deal was begun, when Mr. Hamilton Read first became cognizant of it, and how many days or hours before it was completed he severed his connection with the firm of Bowser, Reid and Wallbridge. Moreover,, it was frankly curious about the division of tlie so-called commission. The public may be pardoned its curiosity seeing that the Supreme Court of Canada was also curious about it. It knew that Mr. Hamilton Read received $40,000 from Mr. Alexander as a "bonus" oul of the $80,000 handed by the government to Mr. Alexander, a government official. It also knew that Chief Cole, the Indian principally responsible for the deal, claimed $20,- 000 commission from Mr. Read, which he did not receive. But what the public did not know and what it desires to know is what became of the $40,000 pocketed by Mr. Dowser's clerk, Hamilton Read, as his share of a deal which apparently was initiated by Mr. Bowser himself. Do the clerks in Mr. Bowser's law office usually receive such splendid honorariums for cases which Mr. Bowser puis their way? If so what sort of fees do the firm itself receive for such business as the attorney-general of Hritish Columbia is able lo recommend to their notice? * * * The Attorney-General's Dilemma The foregoing are two specific cases of how difficult it is to serve two masters. Mr. Bowser may bc as honest as he is straight forward, when it suits him. But he cannot escape from what may be called the attorney-general's dilemma, which is to separate his private and public practice. As administrator of the department of justice. Mr. Bowser represents the people, and is paid a salary for so doing. As senior partner in the firm of Bowser, Reid and Wallbridge. he presumably draws-a portion of the receipts paid by clients. Do those clients have business with the people of British Columbia whose attorney is Mr. Bowser? In the case of the Dominion, Trust, they did. How many contractors, who have business with the people of British Columbia, are represented by Bowser, Reid and Wallbridge? Supposing for instance a contract for clearing government land is let to a contractor who draws his money from the government, and that contractor does not pay his workmen but goes into liquidation before the work is completed? What sort of redress have the workmen, who may be foreigners, when they find that the solicitors for the contractor are Bowser, Reid and Wallbridge? * * * Another Supposition It is admittedly a dilemma. The new Liberal member for Vancouver is Mr. Macdonald, a lawyer, with a practice. Supposing the Liberals victorious at the general election and Mr. Macdonald, attorney-general. .Is he to sever his connection with his firm? As attorney-general he would draw a salary of $6,000 a year. As a private practitioner he might be making considerably more. He may be public spirited, and animated by a desire to achieve distinction in public life. Is he to forego that perfectly legitimate ambition because he makes a larger income at the bar? Is the community to lose the service of an able man because he cannot afford to trust to the fickle favors of the electorate? He may find himself in office just long enough to lose his practice. In any case there would be a natural The Awakening of Public Conscience Now ant! again, however, there is an awakening of the public conscience and the politician who ignores that I I'^'l ��'Hl a ^ishol honey w.ll about_ do for n, After a short chat, Mr. Brewster said, "Come on in am have breakfast with me." "Xo thanks, Mr. Brewster. I'm not hungry this morn ing. This air up here seems to have taken away my appt titc. I couldn't eat anything." "Oh, come into the dining-room anyway," urged Mr Brewster. "Have a cup oi tea or something. I want t talk to you about politics." So they went into the dining room. Mr. lircwster ordered the usual morning meal, so p'opti lar with Victorians, of tea and toast and marmalade. Th friend ordered the same ami upon clearing lhe boards, asserted that the mild nourishment had but whetted his appi tite. "We're short of food in British Columbia. That's what - wrong with us," the friend declared. "And when we gi into power the first consideration must bc an adequati land development policy. We import our bread, we in port our meats," he declared, thumping his hand on, tin table, Then iu a lone which indicated that something had just dawned upon him��� "Talking of meats"���beckoning to a waiter���"Com. over 'ere. One beef steak done rare, a couple of fried eggs, some Ashcroft potatoes, some hot rolls, a pot o ; coffee and a side order of bacon, That with some con. awakening is smothered by the accumulated ammunition of his opponents. His personal honesty is assailed on every side and if in addition to the mud uncovered by the falling tide ol his political fortunes, his disregard of ordinary courtesies and his greed for personal power provide the attack with a fair field of fire, liis defeat is almost a foregone conclusion. This is what has happened to the Honorable William J. Bowser. Ile believed he was the autocrat of the electorate, forgetting that autocracy demands an aristocracy of intellect. Mere boasting cannot take the place of statesmanship nor the most efficient political organisation the plate of leadership. The oil of party patronage may make lhe machine run smoothly when once it is set going, but it cannot supply the motive power when the personality of leadership is lacking. Mr. Bowser's cup is full of lost opportunities. He showed political ability as long as he was merely managing clerk in the holy order of ward heelers. Directly he assumed full responsibility for the fortunes of his party he proved that to attain the Heaven of his ambitions, he relied on the Gods of the past to whom he had made such lavish sacrifice. But the gods of the past could be placated by choirs singing their praises in unison, while the gods of the future are deaf to laudation. Mere promises of reform sound too much like death bed repentances. * * * The Graceful Way Out Today it is probably quite safe to wager that Mr. Bowser's mind is not occupied with lhe problems of a business government. His one idea is how to maintain his personal position and by hook or crook win the coming general election. He still gazes at himself in the looking glass and strutting before his reflection, crows shrill*' iu defiance of his enemies. If the Conservative party desires to win the next election it will first have to present to its premier a doctor's order sending him to Kamloops for recuperation and rest and insist that from there he dictate a manifesto stating that on account of his health, his medical advisers demand tllat he resign the premiership. It can be done gracefully. It is often better to retire under doctor's orders than under the heavy and most discourteous boot of the electorate. ���CRITICUS. At this point Mr. Brewster i1; declared to have ke over. When he came too, the waiter presented him w : . a bill for $3.50. Mr. Brewster asserts that he will never ��� at least nut' such time as the party gets into power���invite Hone-' John Oliver of thc Delta lo dine with him. "If Honesi John is that strong for breakfast, what could a man o pect after the day's work is over?" asks the Liberal leader. THE VICTIMS OF THE CAUCUS WHEN Sir Richard went away he left the members of his party as helpless as the babes in the woods. The utter irresponsibility and impotency of the government party is. indeed, the most tragic feature of the political situation as it now stands in this Province. The new Premier, popularly regarded in the past as a man of great strength, yielded readily to the prohibition party after his first defeat in Vancouver. In fact during thc week following that defeat, the Premier was in such a frame of mind that he was prepared to give anything or make any promise which might bring a few votes. It is well that no one asked him during that week for the parliament buildings. Had such a request been made the premier undoubtedly would have yielded readily. Should Mr. Bowser resign from the premiership there is not a man on his side of the House prepared to take on the responsibility of leadership. We base this assertion upon the words of many members of the legislature win* have been supporters of the McBride Government. These men claim that the policy of Sir Richard was throughout to monopolize all the honors and all the responsibilities. He used Mr. Bowser to handle the more unsavory work of administration and as for the rest of the members���they were merely for voting purposes in caucus. Xow that Sir Richard's place has been usurped by tlie THE RKV. MR. GOOD, of Xanaimo. was one of the mo- successful of missionaries to the frontiers of British Col umbia. In Victoria there is a Mr. Joy who is a hold man. Yet some people say there is nothing in a name. * * * A FRIEND FROM Kerrisdale writes to the editor regarding the recent bye-elections. "Will the premier bow. sir, to the will of the people?" asks the Kerrisdale gentli man. Answer; Better go ask Brother Frank. Ile livi out your way. * * * While this journal supports the cause of prohibitum we do not agree with Judge Grant who is quoted as sa> ing, "There's no such thing as a law abiding citizen in th liquor business." It would be just as reasonable for Hi Honor lo say that all the people opposed to the liquo traffic are raving fanatics. * * * PARKER WU.UAMS CLAIMS that II. II. Thompioi M.I..A..

However, if the railway promoters are allowed to incorporate, it will be possible to force the property owners to pay taxes to bnil" sidewalks, pave streets, and generally make a bluff at having a real community. * * * THIS INCORPORATION OF dots on the map as cities is quite as criminal as the incorporation of fake mist companies.

THE AGRICULTURAL I CREDIT BILL lhe Government announces that the Agricultural Credit Hill enacted at the last session of thc legislature, will be brought into operation tbis year] by placing one million dollars at tlu- disposal of the Commission which is to be appointed thereunder, lo be loaned to farmers by way of first mortgages on their land. The action of thc Government herein will be welcomed, as the measure is of great importance, and its successful operation will mean much to this Province, which is sorely in need of Agricultural development. It is questionable, however, whether at this time the Government will be able to borrow money at a sufficiently low rate; but it is sincerely hoped that they may succeed in this respect. No doubt, this measure vvill aid agricultural development to a marked degree; but a further development policy is necessary to make this Province highly productive as it should be. The clearing of land is the great task which faces the agriculturalist. A Government land-clearing policy must sooner or later be brought into operation, and the Government of the day should give this matter their attention at an early date. British Columbia should be prepared to take care of her fair share of desirable settlers after the termination of the war. Large tracts of suitable land could bc selected by experts. On each 80 acre parcel the Government could clear, say, 15 acres ready for cultivation. This would make it possible for the settler to make his living while clearing the balance of his homestead. The actual cost of clearing could be extended over a term of years, the settler paying sufficient interest in the meantime to reimburse the Province for its capital outlay. A plan of this kind would, of course, involve the necessary working out of details, and the undertaking should be carried out on a moderate scale until proven a success.

Although the year 1915 has been one in which mortgage and loan companies have had to face very unusual and unsatisfactory conditions, owing to non-payment of interest and moratorium enactments, yet the British Columbia Permanent Loan Company directors may be congratulated on the strong statement which they have been able to present to the shareholders. The Company has enjoyed eighteen years of continued progress, and a dividend has been regularly declared, but the directors have acted wisely in passing the dividend for the latter half of 1915. The profit and loss account showed that the total earnings, including thc balance of $24,60075 brought forward from 1914, amounted to $257,548.52, and contained only revenue which had actually been collected. After deducting all expenses of management, including special war taxes, interest on debentures and terminating capital, placing $5,000.00 to contingent fund, and other charges, amounting in ail .to $185,467.07, a net profit of $72,- J081.45. or over 8 1-3 per cent, on the capital stock, remains. Out of this the company paid a dividend at thc rate of 5 per cent, per annum for the first half of the year, amounting to $23,049.65. and carried forward to 1916, $49,031.80. Economy in administration is a notable feature in thc statement which shows a reduction of 20 per cent. Due to higher interest rates, however, the interest on money borrowed by way of debentures increased to $111,062.00 from $'��I..X_,7.IJ Article 3787 provides: "The proceeds ol' the voluntary sale ol the homestead shall not be subject to garnishment or forced sale within six months after such sale." Individ uals have exempt from attachment all wearing apparel, all tools, apparatus and books belonging to any trade or profession, one horse, saddle and bridle, and current wages for personal services. No doubt a law of this nature would prove inconvenient in some cases, but in case a similar or possibly an improved measure were in force in British Columbia, there would be no excuse for extending credit to a man because he is the owner of a homestead or other exempt property. Credit would be extended for other considerations. In a population of about four million people in Texas there are said to be no mortgaged homesteads.

S27 Granville Street FOUR SATURDAY CHINOOK SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1910 Vancouver Women's Work for Women * * * SHEEP-RAISING FOR THE WOMEN OF B. C. The high price of wool makes one wonder why women on farms don't lake more interest in sheep-raising, especially in British Columbia, where the winters are not severe. According tu the census last year, Pennsylvania had 70UO woman fanners, the majority of whom owned the land on which they worked. In Georgia, during the last three years the number of women farmers has more than doubled. The majority of women go in for raising hogs, cattle and foodstuffs, leaving the cotton planting to the men. # * * Lady Wolseley has for some years promoted the study of agriculture among thc women. She herself superintended thc college for women gardeners at Glynde in Sussex. Here dairying, poultry raising and bee keeping, as well as gardening, were taught to the daughters of the people, who had been accustomed to consider paid manual labor derogatory. Women who are well educated train for at least two years at Glynde, after which they aer fitted for the work of directing the labors of others, .but such a long period of training and as thorough an education are not needed by dairy women or poultry raisers. * * �� It is estimated that the fleece of more than one bilion sheep would be required to supply the clothing for one year to the armies now in the field, and yet, Mr. J. W. Woods, the retiring president of the Toronto Board of Trade says the world's muster of sheep falls short of this number by two hundred and fifty million. Where the wool is to come from, both for" army and for ordinary commercial use, looks like a problem. SCHOOL FOR BLIND SOLDIERS Thc most difficult class to provide for are the blind. Already Canada's blind population is 3,2fX), and with returning soldiers this number is going to bc greatly increased. There are only five schools for thc blind in the whole of the Dominion of Canada, and the only one that is suitable for the training of the adults is the blind training school in Halifax, under the splendid supervision of Sir Frederick Fraser, through whose influence literature for the blind was first allowed to go through the mails without postage, a privilege which has made the Dominion wide work of the Canadian Free Library for the blind possible. The wonderful system of tangible reading and writing was invented by a blind Frenchman, Louis Braille, almost a century ago. and ever since has been known by his name. TAKING THE BABY'S FOOTPRINTS "Of course" every mother will answer when asked if she knows her baby. Indeed, it scarcely seems likely that a mother could bc given another woman's baby by mistake; yet such eases must arise al times, because a Chicago hospital bas a novel scheme for preventing such mixed issues, Tbe baby's footprints arc taken, As soon as the baby is born in the hospital tlieir tiny feet are pressed gently against an inked roller, and then upon white paper, copies of which are given to thc parents. Xu two little footprints are the same. RED CROSS NOTES The Vancouver Branch of thc Canadian Ked Cross Society held their monthly meeting at the Board of School Trustees rooms on March 9, at 8 p.m.. .Mrs. M. Mills presiding. The Vancouver branch is really the central depot for all of British Columbia, and the following report goes to prove that the people of B. C. are far from neglecting their duties toward the brave and heroic in Europe. During the month of February (a short month), 143 cases of field and hospital, supplies were shipped to Toronto, making a total of 58,456 articles, an in ise of 54 cases, and 21,307 article more than January's list. Included in this list were 3,\\99 field comforters, comprising day shirts, khaki handkerchiefs, a small number of mitts and scarves and 2.- 650 hand-knitted pairs of sox. This seems a pretty fair record of socks for one month. The hospital supplies included py- jama suits, night shirts, stoup-writig- ers, serviettes, sheets and pillow cases, abdominal binders, head and knee bandages, eye bandages, many (ailed and T binders and 38,560 surgical dressings. A pair of atificial limbs worth $250 were also sent to England as it seems a better use can be made of them there, all Canadian soldiers in need of such appliances being fitted for the same before leaving for Canada. Every one is asked to put forth her best energies, as during the next few months there will be need of all the supplies we can send. Tons of dressings are required after a big battle, according to the latest advice from headquarters, so wc shall hope to increase our supplies very materially in the next two or three months. The following branches shipped many supplies during the month of February: Kelowna, Summerland, Naramata, West Summerland, Ashcroft, Langley Patriotic Society, Salmon Arm, Kamloops, Port llaney, Willing Workers, Port Haucy, Pre- vocational School,'Boundary Women's Institute, East Point Grey, West Point Grey, St. Julicn Surgical Club, South Vancouver Soldiers' and Sailors' Mothers and Wives branch, Rose- dale, St. George's Parish Auxiliary, Collingwood and Central Pa'rk, Trail, Kaleden, South Vancouver Auxiliary, Xorth Vancouver, West Vancouver, Working Woman's Auxiliary, Notch Hill, South Vancouver auxiliary, Co- wichan Woman's Institute, Duncans, Britannia Beach, Princeton, Magee Auxiliary, St. Andrew's Church Circle, Richmond Municipality, Clover- dale, Port Moody Patriotic Society, Port Coquitlam, Kerrisdale, Daughters of England Society, Strathcona Heights, University Branch, Yale (All Hallows School), Christ Church Circle, Mizpah Soldiers' Relief Association, Blubber Bay, Fort George, Burnaby Lake, Junior Ked Cross Auxiliary, Kitsilano, Chase and Shuswap Branch, Allies Comfort Club, Fair- view, Armstrong, Maple Ridge, Merritt, Auxiliary Xo. 2 Ward 1; Chase, Sylvia Auxiliary.

YORKSHIRE SOCIETY WHIST DRIVE AND DANCE Even more successful than any of its predecessors, thc twelfth whist drive and dance, given under the ails- pices of the Yorkshire Society during the present season, was held in the OBrieil Hall, on Thursday evening, and despite thc wintry weather conditions attracted the usual large crowd for which these social gatherings are noted. The Whist Drive, which consisted of 12 games, was under the control of Pres. A. Lobley, assisted by Messrs. Divine & Whitehead, who officiated as floor managers. Many large scores were made, Mrs. Willoughby taking the ladies' first prize with a score of 94, the second prize was won by Mrs. Chas. Fisher, a member of the society, who followed closely with a score of 93. No less than four ladies tried for the booby prize, with scores of 65, and after cutting the I cards, Miss A. Griffiths was in pos- ses'iion of the doubtful honor. The scores of the gentlemen were even higher than thc ladies, which is a very rare occurrrence; Mr. J. C. Hitchcock taking thc first prize with a score of 95, the next successful player being Mr. J. S. Edge, who totalled 93, Mr, W. Snowden for the second time this season taking the booby prize with a low score of 58. Immediately at the close of thc whist drive, refreshments were served, during which the Morgan-Guild orchestra enlivened the proceedings with a trio of well-rendered selections that received well merited applause. Refreshments and the distribution of prizes being over by 10.15, the rest of the evening was devoted to a dance programme consisting of old country favorites, as well as Canadian and American dances. Another of the Yorkshire Society's enjoyable whist drives and dances is announced for Thursday, March 16, while on Thursday, March 23, the society have arranged for another "Yorkshire Dance," both to be held in the O'lirien Hall. "PATIENCE" GOING TO VICTORIA Clever Opera to be given at Avenue Theatre, Saturday, to defray transportation expenses "Patience" is to be given again on Saturday evening in thc Avenue Theatre. Mr. J .C. Welch, conductor of the Patriotic Operatic Society, returned last night from Victoria where he has been arranging with the Patriotic Society there regarding the advisability of giving performances of the pretty operatta in the capital city. Victorians are very enthusiastic over the success which crowned thc efforts of the company in Vancouver last week and gave their ready consent to Mr. Welch's suggestions. "Patience" will be staged there on March 28 and 29. The society in Victoria will look after the theatre FAITH and WORKS The law forbids the sale of liquor and cigarettes to minors, but it does not restrain newspapers from going into respectable homes and soliciting the patronage of the boys and girls with flaring and alluring advertisements. Careful firesides must rely, therefore, upon newspapers that voluntarily banish liquor and cigarettes, those great enemies of youthful strength and purity, from their columns. In the campaign for saloonless state it is vital that the forces of temperance cast the entire weight of their influence against the wets. Their subscription order for a newspaper is a vote for or against liquor, according as the advertising columns pf that newspaper are for or against liqucr. The Saturday Chinook is against the selling and distributing of liquor and cigarettes to minors through its advertising columns. For true temperance should begin at. home and with the Home Newspaper. Delivered at your door for 10 cents a month. Phone Seymour 470, The Saturday Chinook rental, advertising and the hotel bill, etc., of the company, but the players will have to manage their transportation, To overcome this difficulty, it has been decided to give "Patience" again on Saturday, at which performance the price of the seats will be considerably lower than last week, 1 lilts enabling those who desire to sec the opera over again can do so without the expense. Also there were a large number turned away on Friday and Saturday evenings owing to lack of scats. No doubt these citizens will he glad to avail themselves of this opportunity. "Patience" as it was given last week was one of the best amateur performances ever given in Vancouver, and was well worthy of the splendid support it received. The Saturday presentation will be of quite the same standard, and it is hoped there will again be the splendid response to such excellent patriotic efforts. KING'S DAUGHTERS Thc Victoria Circle of the King's Daughters were entertained by Mrs. Ilicky at her home on Osier Avenue on Friday last. Mrs. J. C. Kemp gave a very interesting address on the new work of the B. C. Consumers' League, in which she stated that some $57,000,- 000 went out of thc province for imported godds from foriegn countries. The imports exceeded the exports to the extent of $24,000,000. She went on to state that B. C. does not produce enough farm produce to support the people, less than half a mil lion in population. It is absurd to suppose that a province of thc magnitude of 'B. C. is unable to produce agricultural products to support its people, During 1915 tbe lower mainland alone supplied the market with 36,000 boxes of apples, 3,7��8 boxes of pears, 24,600 crates of plums, and 52,- 646 crates of raspberries. If our fruit ranches are given the encouraging support due them, they will not only supply 11. C. markets, but they will export also. The small investor may enter into another profitable business, that is hen farming. In 1914 the people of B. C. paid duty on 2,854,178 dozen eggs. In 1915 we paid duty on only 552.399 dozen eggs, being a decrease of 2,301,799 dozen. Tbe falling off in imports was due to thc additions of a 7 1-2 war tax on thc regular duty of 3 cents per dozen, due to some ex- tnet to the work of thc B. C. Consumers' League. Mr. J. A. Cunningham, president of the Manufacturers Association, told of his recent visit to Ottawa in behalf of the association in regard to the large increase of war orders that had been secured for tbe province. HELP THE PROVINCE SAVE MONEY FOR RETURNING SOLDIERS The British Columbia Consumers' League has raised the question "What are we doing to prepare this province to support thc soldiers who will come back from the battle front?" British Columbia at lhe present time is utterly unable to offer support to the thousands of men who call tbis province their home and who arc now fighting in Prance. When these men come home in a year or in two years' time, we shall he woefully unprepared to offer thcin means of self-support unless we begin to prepare for them at once. The question as to thc best methods of preparing for their home-coming has been answered by the Consumers' League. British Columbia spends daily thc sum of $100,000 for imported goods which can be made in this province. If British Columbia will patronize our manufacturers and farmers, we can keep this money inside our own home province. We shall grow richer at the rate of one-tenth of a million dollars per day and this means that wc shall be saving forty million dollars a year for tbe purpose of supporting our boys who return from the front. Every dollar spent on Bri tish Columbia products means a dollar spent for th ebuilding up of the province. We cannot continue to spend our money for outside articles and expect to see our own industries prosper. There is not the least doubt that British Columbia would be far better off today if she had not foolishly spent forty milion dollars cvery year for imported goods. Individually we are responsible for this continual wastage. If we seriously a.tdress ourselves to the problem of keeping our money at home, it will not bc very long before we shall find that our factories and our farming communities are all increasing in prosperity. With their growing wealth, the wealth of every other section of the people will grow.

PANTAGES THEATRE ateurs over to Victoria, and everyone who missed the previous performances should go to tbe Avenue to- morrow night. In reviewing amateur productions, particularly these presented by local artistes, tbe critic is naturally inclined to prefer kindness to candor���though candor would often be the greatest kindness. In the latest revival of "Patience" by the Patriotic Amateur Operatic Society, however, one can combine both without sacrificing thc obligations of either. Thc production of any Gilbert and Sullivan opera is a revival in its double sense. It not only revives a classic comedy but it is guaranteed to revive the most jaded playgoer from thc worst attack of dramatic dyspepsia. That, which the zeal and devotion of Mrs. James McNeill and Mr. J. C. Welch made possible last week reflects tbe utmost credit on both the stage director and conductor, while the experienced hand of Mr. Harold Nelson Shaw gives that finish to tbe production as characteristic of him as it rare in less fortunate local productions.
