Whether the promoters will be successful time only will tell. The idea is a high tariff wall for South Vancouver. It came about in this way. A delegation of South Vancouver bakers waited upon the council to point out that Vancouver bakers were peddling bread from door to door in the municipality and that they -hould be made to pay a tax. They were allowed to compete with South Vancouver bakers and to momopolize the South Vancouver field, to the detriment of the local baker. Wise men on the council laughed at the proposals if the delegation, for they knew that to create a tariff wall between the city and the municipality would be a dangerous thing.

The bulk of it should not be concentrated I of Vancouver, Mr. J. D. McNeil���his face looks pahties. Episode number two came about in the tale of the bakers' tariff when a delegation came from Vancouver to implore the council not to allow any tax to be levied upon bakers from outside the district. This delegation was made up of the members of the B. C. Bakers' Association, which is allied wilh the B. C. Manufacturers' Association, and which stands for protection for home industries. Here then was a delegation from an organization 'distinctly in favor of high tariffs upon all goods coming into Canada standing before the South Vancouver council and praying that the municipality stand for a free trade policy. We ask in all fairness why it should not be reasonable for South Vancouver to tax outside bakers if it is reasonable for Canada to impose a tax upon food coming into this country from Australia or from the United States. If a tariff is good for sister states and sister nations, why is it not good as between municipalities? If South Vancouver were to put a tax on outside bread, the cost of living would be raised in the municipality. If Canada puts a tax on bread made in the United States then the cost of living is not made cheaper in the Dominion. We pay a tariff on butter, flout, bacon and all ���other manner of foodstuffs coming into British Columbia from the West and the South, and we object not and pay cheerfully. But the people who stand for High Protection object when small communities threaten to adopt the principle. We would suggest that it would be quite in order for the South Vancouver council to impose a small tax upon all tradesmen who enter the municipality to trade from door to door. But a tax which would hit the bakers and allow others to go free would be unfair. If it is necessary to raise money these trades license taxes are quite in order. Municipalities would be very foolish to endeavor to impose taxes with a view of protecting and fattening industries which lie within their borders.

If the Minister of Finance is assured of widespread support of the loan by the Canadian public he should limit the participation of the banks and other big concerns and give the small investors a chance to subscribe.

DUKE'S CHICKS COME 'OME TO ROOST IN a recent speech, Mr. T. Duke, who is a candidate for parliament in Vancouver, attacked the Ministerial Union. If his minister had had anything to do with the getting out of the "Crisisjn B. C," Mr. Duke declared that he would leave the church. Court reports published in all the daily papers last week have reference to a case in which the sum of twenty-five hundred dollars, the Bank of England, a defenceless young woman, a deceased trust company, the name of Mr. Duke, candidate for parliament, and the names of other directors of the company are all mixed up. The worthy ministers might well add to the pamphlet entitled, "The Crisis in B.C.," a story of the affair in which Mr. Duke was involved. MAY HEAVEN FORBID that the young men suddenly choose Mr. E.

SIR RICHARD WAS noticed in the court room talking very confidentially with Malcolm Archibald Macdonald, whateffer, President of the Provincial Liberal Association. No report is given of their conversation, but it is suggested that Sir Richard told Macdonald to steer clear of the wide, easy ways which lead to political greatness. if. if if "MAC," SIR RICHARD is reported to have said, "you may take it from me thai the ways of a man in politics in this country are thorny and rocky." if if tf DURING THE HEARING of the libel action, one was impressed by the large numbers of both ministers and lawyers who were in attendance as spectators. if tf if THERE IS A FASHION among the Vancouver lawyers���particularly the younger members of the bar���to wear nose glasses of great weight.

THIS RECALLS TO MIND an incident following the trial of the editor of this paper on a charge of criminal libel. There is a certain man in South Vancouver who gave evidence against the editor. He was in the box but a few moments and during that time was but briefly cross-examined by Mr. Martin, counsel for the accused. After the trial the witness returned to his neighbors to tell them all a- bout what the lawyers said, what the judge said, and went on to tell of the undoubted justice of the cause of the prosecution. " 'oweffer," said he, "we lost. But I can say this truthfully enough���that I 'eld Joe Mawtin at bay for twenty minutes!" If Sf> if WHILE WE ARE on the subject it might not be out of place to observe that the leading counsel for the prosecution at the Murray trial is a major in the home guards. Now a certain man is bound to give to King George for a drill hall site some of his mother's property against which there are some $18,- 000 taxes due. Whether His Majesty will accept it is another matter. Let us hope that any good proposition along these lines is taken full advantage of. The other day the major was placed at thc head of a committee which investigated the property and il is understood that the major is going to lead a regiment to be recruited from South Vancouver if the drill hall real estate transaction goes through Oh, mother!

TWO SATURDAY CHINOOK .1 SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 27. 1' Citttartal ��putimt* CHICKENS COMING HOME TO ROOST When the naval question was tabooed in Quebec prior to the last general election in order to avoid giving offence to Hon. L. Corderre, .Mr. Blondin, Hon. Mr. Nantel and other Government-favored luminaries of the Nationalist cause, there was little thought that developments would bring about a fairly complete exposure of an alliance that cannot be justified oil grounds of true Canadianisni. The influences within the political parties of Canada that submerge Canadianism to expedience are bad. If the power of a party in Canada has to be purchased at the price of silence or undue reference to interests out of touch with true Canadian sentiment, then something is wrong. There should be no place in the Cabinet Councils of Canada, or the chief places of administration in the nation, for men who denounce the best friend among the nations that Canada ever had, or ever will have; we refer to Great Britain. Col. Sir Sam has drawn Lavergne's fire. It is not enough, in reply, lo merely denounce Lavergnc, who should, as wc said the other day, be drummed out of the Canadian army. Is Lavergnc speaking correctly when he says that men holding avowedly the same opinions as himself with respect to Canada's relations with Britain, have for years been members of the Canadian Cabinet? Lavergnc produces his evidence. It is tip to Premier Borden and Sir Sam to explain.��� Partners' Tribune. sentiment, a new Liberal government will be Established just as so6ii as an election is held.

W'e want a new government without any strings, which, after ascertaining the exact financial status of lhe Province, will sets its face resolutely against past methods and grapple with the problem of production and thc development of our natural resources for the benefit of our own people, instead of sacrificing our own interests and our Own people for the benefit of the country to the south of us, as is being done today.

Upon their backs to bite 'em; And little fleas have lesser fleas, And so oii, ad infinitum! The coast city is this week honored by the big flea, in the person of the Hon. Robert Rogers, and it is this incident that is causing even our Conservative friends to think that an election is nearer than sonic of us think. It is a fact that throughout the Provinces, whenever an election is being thought of, the big flea conies into consultation to over-awe and bring into line the lesser fleas, who are getting a little bit too ambitious. It is a good omen for the success of the Liberal parly when I Sob Rogers comes to try to bring order out of chaos, and to help smooth over the sad differences of the Meliride and Bowser factions, and incidentally frame up some policy that they think wlil catch the unwary. The Liberals take comfort in the knowledge of the many failures that have been engineered by this same Lob Rogers. There is no attempt to doubt that there is a serious split at headquarters. The Hon. Mr. Bowser naturally thinks that they cannot hope to will after such a record of McBride rule, and he is sure he himself is the only man who can pull the chestnuts out of the fire. There's no doubt a real fight on among these lesser fleas to win over the big flea to their side. It is a long time since the people heard an address from Sir Richard, but Mr. Bowser is very assiduous in his campaign, so that even the rank and file arc beginning to take sides and trying to persuade themselves that Sir Richard has had his day, and that Mr. Bowser is the real "Tillicuni." It is almost inconceivable for those two leaders to sit together and work again in harmony. Yet we must remember that those two, who really have constituted the government for the past few years, have been parties to all the shady and peculiar transactions that have taken place during their reign, and consequently are both unfitted, having betrayed the confidence that has been reposed in them. True, they may not personally have profited as a result of the many deals which have been exposed, but they are equally guilty along with the lesser fleas, he- cause they, knowing such a condition lo exist, did not do anything fo punish the guilty one, but rather by their silence, gave approcal to the corruption indulged in by their colleagues. Hence, it is sometimes hard to believe that they too did not materially benefit by those shady transactions. Scarcely a week goes by but that the public learn of some shady business. These various revelations of graft and near-graft have opened the eyes of their own supporters and convinced them of the folly of giv* ing renewed power to such men. The very foundation of government has been undermined, and every day sees a weakening of their hold on their own supporters. Two facts stand out ill thc characters of these two men: the inherent weakness of Sir Richard McBride as an administrator and executive head, and the overpowering unscrupulous ambition of Air. Bowser. These two are like oil and water���thev cannot mix. Sometimes by a vigorous shaking you may form an emulsion, but they will certainly separate again. Il is perhaps, thought that a little drop of "Bob Rogers" will holo them together, but past experience does not prove it. Public sentiment has set in against this faction-rent "government which still holds office, though only by the postponement of an election, which, with the authority of the lieutenant-governor, was fixed for April last. We believe that as a result of changing public Mr. Wallace, the North Vancouver shipbuilder, is opposed lo the establishment of a naval base at Esquimalt and declares the government should not subsidize a drydock there for naval purposes. The logical place for a naval base, in his opinion, is Bnrrarrd Inlet, which, he maintains, could bc more easily protected from the long range guns of an enemy squadron than Esquimalt could be. I fc supports his. view with the contention that the llritish, German and American naval bases are situated at harbors protected by nature in a manner not unlike Burrard Inlet. The British Admiralty selected Esquimalt as the base of its North Pacific squadron many years ago, and we may assume that it knew what it was about whcn.it did so. Vancouver was not in existence at that time, it is true, but Burrard Inlet was. Even after the Canadian Pacific Railway ivas completed the admiralty clung to Esquimalt, and if the policy of maintaining British squadrons overseas had been continued Esquimalt would have remained the base on this side of the Pacific. Thc theory of naval warfare as applied by the British navy is not that upon the outbreak of hostilities the fleet will scurry to some base as far away from the high seas as it can go. If that were so, a great mistake was made in establishing a base at Chatham. It should have been far up the Thames, 'where thc enemy's ships could not penetrate. But altogether aside from this phase of the situation, there were certain all- important considerations which prompted the admiralty to establish its northern Pacific headquarters at Esquimalt. If Esquimalt fell into the hands of an enniey, he would possess a base of operations against British Columbia of incalculable value. It would give him control of the island railroads and the island coal mines. On it he could maintain a large army with which to attack points on the mainland. With Vancouver Island as his main base he could establish sub-bases on the adjacent islands in the gulf and could absolutely seal up the whole lower coastline of the province, maintaining a perfect blockade with a minimum of effort. He could mine the approaches to Burrard Inlet and lurn that position by landing troops at convenient localities on the mainland. No enterprising enemy would desire -i more effective strategical position in an operation againsl the Canadian Pacific coast than the possession of Vancouver Island, with its commanding situation and its wealth of raw materials. What would become of Wilhclmshaven or Kiel if Great-Britain had an island base like Esquimalt but a few miles away? If she had Heligoland today, Em- den, Borkuni, Cuxhaven and Wilhelnishaven would be made too hot for the Teutons to hold them. If she had an island like Vancouver Island in the North Sea off her cast coast she would have made it one of the strongest naval and military bases in the world. One of her most poignant regrets is that she allowed Heligoland to get into German hands, and Heligoland is three hundred miles from the nearest point on the British Isles. Notwithstanding the great range of our naval guns that small island with an infinitesimal fraction of the advantages of Vancouver Island so far has piovcd an impregnable guardian of the Kiel canal.��� Victoria Daily Times.

When a line of policy is announced or an administrative act is performed, true criticism is always in order, but it is not criticism to misstate the policy or distort the act and accompany the misstatements and distortions with personal abuse or insinuations of dishonesty."���77ic Colonist, There is no such thing as fair criticism in the lexicon of the .McBride government and its supporters. Many years of power, an almost unanimous legislature, a press which in some cases plumbed the very depths of sycophantic servility, formed in their mind a conviction of infallibility and a petulant, autocratic intolerance of opposition of any kind. For instance, both Sir Richard McBride and the Attorney-General have declared that no country in the British empire was better governed than British Columbia. Cherishing that delusion, more dangerous to the interests of this province than to themselves, they bitterly resented any reflection upon any of their policies. Independence of thought and action was ruthlessly crushed out of their following in the legislature; wc recall that thc door of the party caucus was slammed in the face of thc member for Golden. Thc chief criticism lodged against'the government has had to do with the land question. Has this been un fair? The fraudulent alienation nl" the public domain has been the subject of scathing comment by the supreme courts of this province and the Dominion, British Columbia is the largest importer of products lhat can be raised locally of any province in Canada. The Attorney-General admitted that the government encouraged speculation in public lands; the Premier has stated that large areas arc held by speculators who are trying to manipulate them. The decline of agriculture and land settlement was recognized by the appointment of a royal commission to visit thc four corners of the earth to devise some sort of a policy to quiet the very criticism which is now described as unfair. The commission cost $-10,000, the policy was framed, and an act was passed���and pigeon-holed. As a matter of fact, the criticism of the government on this subject has erred on the side of moderation. Critics of the railway policy were branded as enemies of the province; but the railway policy, although once lauded .as perfect evidently is not regarded as such in the Premier's own camp. Xo criticism of the reckless capitulation to Mackenzie & Mann has been half so vigorous and picturesque as that which has been heard recently from people who for years were followers of the McBride government. There was not a solitary point made by opponents of the bargain with thc Canadian Northern six years ago that has not been established since, and not one-tenth of the pledges given the electorate hy the sponsers of thc deal have been carried out. Criticism based upon thc Dominion Trust. Indian reserve transactions, the compromising of our credit by annual expenditures without regard for revenues and which in one year exceeded the outlay of the three prairie provinces combined, likewise lias been resented. We suppose opposition to the System under which ihc public services of the country mlist pay tribute at the office of the secretary of thc Beaver Chili is unpatriotic and presumptuous. We can assure our contemporary lhal if there had been a dozen or more members in the opposition during the last five or six years the government would have had to put up with more than what criticism it has had inside and outside the I louse. A dose of thc methods adopted by the opposition in Manitoba would bc the best medicine that could bc administered for thc well-being of this province.���Victoria Daily 'Times.

CANADA'S BASIC STRENGTH PROVEN" Canada's wheat crop this year is given officially at 336,258.000. which is more than double thc crop of last year. The yield is 45 per cent, greater than any other in the history of thc country. The quality, also, is oi unusually good standard. From the soil has come evidence of Canada's basic strength that should have the effect of putting the whole industrial structure of the country on a solid foundation. Agriculture, the backbone of the national prosperity, is strong and sound. ft wa,s with the slogan of "Greater Production" that Canada went into the 1915 season. Business as well as patriotic considerations pointed to the advisability of securing all the foodstuffs the land would prodduce. This great yield of wheat is the result of organized DEEPEST DOWN What depth is it possible to reach in infamy? In Belgium they digged deep. When the Lusitania was sunk they digged so much deeper that it seemed impossible to go further. But in the shooting of the English nurse, Miss Cavcll, the descent was continued. But down, down, down, near where Hades is supposed to be in the minds of children, have gone the Teutonic nations in the sinking of the Ancona. Thc opinion was expressed yesterday that the Ancona and the Lusitania stand side by side. But viewed in the light of later reports the Ancona is far the darker crime. Thc sinking of the Lusitania was wholesale murder of the innocents, premediated but announced in an advertisement and threatened by proclamation. The sinking of the Ancona was wholesale murder of thc innocents, premediated, but committed with thc suddenness of a shot in the dark from behind an ambush. Bc the submarine Austrian or he she German, what is to he said? What can bc said? Language fails. Naturally, in ordinary circumstances thc situation as between this country and the Teutonic governments should be more serious than at any time since the submarine warfare began. This is* hinted al in Washington. But it is no time to begin a long drawn out correspondence. With nations that countenance such atrocities intercourse is impossible. But first of all the facts.

S.W'liV MACPHERSON*. B. C. TELEPHONE CO. LTD. FOUR SATURDAY CHINOOK iATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27. 1915 The British Spirit at High Water Mark THE martyrdom of the British nurse, Edith Cavell, at Brussels, by the hand of the Hun. is probably the most moving story of its kind ever recorded in this or past ages. The personal qualities of the martyred lady, the humane nature of the acts for which she suffered, the nobility of the spirit which she displayed throughout the final scenes as recorded by her spiritual adviser, all present to the mind a picture of the British spirit at its very highest; profoundly stirring and unforgetable. The distinguished political economist, John Ruskin, in treating of the best methods of educating the youth of a country in nobility of character and to high endeavors, advocates as the most powerful factor, "the gathering for them out of past history, whatever has been most worthy in human deeds and human passion." When such are properly presented, the average human, and always the unsophisticated youth, is moved and impelled to action in the deepest recesses of his soul. It is just here that the undying influence of Edith Cavell will prove an enduring- asset for good in the future history of the British Her "body lies mouldering in the ground" but, set free by MR. COSMO BRUCE GIVES VIGOROUS DENIAL TO CERTAIN ALLEGATION Rumor thai lhe President of lhe Board of Trade was associated wilh Edward Cold as candidate for reeveship is declared untrue race. the murderous bullet of a German officer, "her soul goes marching on." It is just possible that as the death of slaverry in the United States of America dates from the execution of John Brown at Harper's Ferry, so the end of German militarism may date in future history from the martyrdom of Edith Cavell at Brussels in the dark of the 11th October, 1915. So, therefore, it is meet and right that the moving tale should be set down and circulated broadcast in all its details in every newspaper of every languafge throughout the "far-flung British Empire," lhat its significance may sink deep into the innermost recesses of our soul and there warm into a passionate desire to emulate, as we can, the like British spirit. No words could improve upon the simplicity and vividness of the tale as told by Rev. H. S. T. Gahan, British chaplain at Brussels, of his last interview with Nurse Cavell on the night she was executed. The statement is now in the archives of the British Foreign Office, so that it becomes an historical document. It is as follows:��� "On Monday evening, October 11th, I was admitted by special passport from the German authorities to the prison of St. Gilles, where Miss Edith Cavell had been confined for ten weeks. The final sentence had been given that afternoon. To my astonishment and relief, I found my friend perfectly calm and resigned. But this could not lessen the tenderness and intensity of feeling on either part during the last interview of nearly an hour. Her first words to me were upon a matter concerning herself personally, but the solemn asseveration which accompanied them was made expressly in the light of God and eternity. She then added that she wished all her friends to know , that she willingly gave her life for her country, and said���'I have no fear nor shrinking; I have seen death so often that it is not strange . or fearful to me.' She further said���'I thank God for this ten weeks quiet before the end. Life has always been hurried and fully of difficulty. This time of rest has been a great mercy. They have all been very kind to me here. But this I would say, standing as I do in view of God and eternity, I realise that patriotism is not enough, I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone.' "We partook of the Holy Communion together and she received the Gospel message of consolation with all her heart. At the close of the little service, I began to repeat the words Abide with Me,' and she joined softly in the end. We sat quietly talking until it was time for me to go. She gave me parting messages for relations and friends. She spoke of her soul's needs at the moment, and she received the assurance of God's Word as only the Christian can do. Then I said 'Good-bye' and she smiled and said, 'We shall meet again.' The German military chaplain was with her at the end and afterwards gave her Christian burial. He told me, 'She was brave and bright to the last. She professed her Christian faith and that she was glad to die for her country. She died like a heroine!' " Such is the soul-stirring story of the passing of Edith Cavell the nurse. No story in literature of Christian martyr dying for her faith or valiant warrior laying down his life on the altar of patriotism can excel it as an example of devotion, fortitude and greatness of sou|. When told in coming years by the mother to the child at her knee, by the master to his pupil, or by the soldier to his comrade in the trenches, it will serve as an object lesson of the highest type of patriotism and noble womanhood the British race can produce. Many a heart will be stirred in the future by the tale to think and to do the best that in him lies. The race that can produce this type is not decadent, but virile in the highest sense of th word. Edith Cavell in life was known to but a few. Her heroic death has made her the idol and inspiration of an Empire. In the words of the Old Book which our mothers loved and our fathers reverenced��� "She being dead, yet speaketh." IN MEMORIAM ��� EDITH CA VELL It is certain that there will be many tributes in verse to the memory of Edith Cavell, the heroic British nurse, but none of them can surpass in simplicity and dignity the following, by Moray Dalton:��� What shall we say of you, Edith Cavell ? For you no flowers and no passing bell. But one last upward look at a grey sky And you, who watched so many others die. Did pass uncomforted, unhelped, alone, "Fearless and kind," this shall be carved in stone, And set one day above an honored grave, Others she saved, herself she could not save." The following letter has been sent to the secretary of the respective Ratepayers' Associations throughout this Municipality, and also to the Social' Service Council:��� "It having come to my knowledge that a rumor is being circulated that I as a candidate for the reeveship, am in some or any way interested or associated with Reeve Gold, I wish to take this early opportunity of making a firm denial of same. The writer is in no direct or indirect way the least interested in Reeve Gold's candidature, and will conclusively prove that fact to the electorate from the platform in my campaign. "I am of the opinion that Mr. Gold was the most surprised man in the hall when I publicly announced to the Central Ratepayers' Executive my intention of entering the field as a candidate for the reeveship of this municipality." "C. BRUCE." GOLD CANNOT QUALIFY, CLAIMS WELL-KNOWN LAWYER That E.

Gillespie is looming up as a strong man. and at a largely attended meeting held Tuesday, of South Vancouver property owners who are business men of the city, Mr. Gillespie was heartily assured of support from that quarter and a strong committee was appointed to further his candidature. This will ring a sad knell to the present reeve, who was last year given strong support from the city residents who owned property locally, and who was openly endorsed last year by the very men who met Tuesday to endorse Mr. Gillespie. In Collingwood and in Cedar Cottage, Mr. Gillespie's friends are rallying to him and throughout the other wards he is addressing occasional meetings and making many new friends. One of the gentlemen whose support goes this year with Mr. Gillespie was one of the stoutest champions in former contests of the present reeve. Friends of Mr. Bruce, whose name is still in the list and will likely remain there, have communicated with the CHINOOK to say that the rumor that Mr. Bruce has any connection whatsoever with j Mr. Gold is false and malicious. Anyone who knows Mr. Bruce and 1 lhe other man will know that there is little between the two that is in common. Mr. Bruce has always opposed Gold and his methods. Mr. J. J. G. Thompson is said to have definitely withdrawn from the field. His support is likely to go with Mr. Gillespie. Mr. G. A. Stevens has also withdrawn and so far as is known, the only candidates today are Messrs. Gillespie, Bruce and Winram. There is every possibility of these gentlemen coming to an understanding within the next fortnight. Mr. Winram is gathering strength and has many friends throughout the district. He, however, has definitely stated that h will be glad to bow to the will of the majority and leave no stone unturned to assist in the reformation of South Vancouver. The policy of the party opposed to the present administration will not be to barnstorm the municipality with special meetings. They will fight Gold without recourse to the bargain-sale game of cutting to the intelligence of thc people who pay the taxes of the Municipality and let the matter go at that. The candidate will be a clean, honest, straightforward man, and will come forward to aid South Vancouver out of the present difficult position she finds herself occupying. Simply that and nothing more.

HOW THE COAL INTERESTS SWEAT THE PEOPLE In a recent issue the Winnipeg TRIBUNE has the following article touching upon the robbery practiced by the coal trusts:��� A couple of years ago the legislature of Pennsylvania passed a law imposing a tax of ten tents a ton on hard coal. While the coal companies prepared to fight this tax in court, they immediately began collecting it from the public, adding it to the price of the coal, with a handsome profit tucked on to soothe their injured feelings. The State of Pennsylvania has collected only twenty thousand dollars of this tax out of an estimated total tax of nine million dollars. The balance was held up to see what the courts would say about it. While withholding these taxes, the coal trust has collected half again as much from the public. . Now the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has declared the tax unconstitutioanl. The coal companies don't have to pay any tonnage tax. But, in the meantime, the coal consumers have paid the tax, with the profit added to it. Canadian, as well as American, consumers will never see a cent of the money paid the coal trusts. Neither will the price of coal be reduced a fraction of a cent. The day is surely nearer when the State, whether in Canada or across the border, will take possession of the coal supplies. The peoples who today permit extortion and exploitation of a public asset will some day wonder why they have so long disregarded the bountiful hand of Providence, and allowed a lew to benefit, while the many should have been blessed. In Edmonton, Alta., they have coal at $3.50 a ton delivered at your door. If you wish to send to the pithead for it, you may have it at one dollar a ton. In Vancouver coal is more expensive than in almost any other city in the west. Coal sold at $3.50 in Edmonton is sold here at $7.50. Yet we are but forty miles away from the richest coal fields in Canada. HOW THE LIQUOR PEOPLE GRAB AT STRAWS Some days ago the newspapers carried an Associated Press telegram to the effect that William Jennings Bryan, at a meeting held somewhere in the Southern States, had declared that prohibition was not a national issue in the United States, and that he for one was against having a prohibition plank placed in the Democraticpjat- form. This despatch left the impression that the famous champion of the unfermented was prepared to be neutral on the subject ^of liquor legislation���that is so far as the next Presidential campaign is concerned. __, Now, the devil should be given his due. Mr. William Jennings Bryan is still one of the stoutest champions of prohibition in the United States. We have at hand a paper issued by Mr. Bryan himself in which he sets forth his policy as regards the liquor traffic as follows: __ In every state in which the prohibition issue is before the people, prohibition democrats should put up a ticket for every state office and let the question of control be settled at the primary. If a majority of the party favor prohibition the party will benefit by the stand taken; if a majority of the party is against prohibition, then the party must bear the odium of allying itself with the liquor interests, which stand for everything harmful to the home, hurtful to society, and corrupting in government. Candidates for the United States senate and for congress must be willing to voice the sentiments of their constituents on the liquor question. 1 hope that the prohibition question will not enter into the Presidential campaign next year, but it will necessarily come before the senators and members of congress to be elected next year and they should be in harmony with their constituents on this subpject. No state or district can afford to be misrepresented by a senator or member of congress voting contrary to the wishes of those for whom he speaks.

The promise ami the prediction seem tn have had such effect on so many pe'rsotls lhat tlie spread oi this letter bids fair i" equal that nf the famous "chain prayer" which swept over this country and England a few years ago. According in the story, or legend, the original letter was found sometime in the early days nf Christianity by a child. Here is the letter, or command, as it appeared in the publication: "Whosoever works mi lhe Sabbath day shall be cursed. I command you tu go tn chinch and keep- holy the Lord's Day. without any manner of wnrk. Ynu shall not idle or misspend your time in bedecking yourselves in superfluities nf costly apparel and vain dressing, for I have ordered it a day of rest, I will have that day kept hply that your sins may be forgiven you. "You will nnt break niy .commandments, but observe and keep them, they being written by my hand and spoken from my mouth. You shall not only go to church yourselves, but also your man-servant and maid-servant. Observe my words and learn my commandments. "Vou shall finish your work every Saturday at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, at which hour the preparation for the Sabbath begins. 1 advise ynu to fast five Fridays in the year, beginning nn Good Friday and continuing ihe Fridays following in remeiii- hrance nf the five bloody wounds I received for ynu and mankind. "You shall love one another and cause them that are lint baptized I" come In chinch and receive the holy sacraments���that is to say. baptism and then the supper of the Lord, and be made a member thereof, and in so djoing 1 will give you long life and many blessings. Your hind shall be replenished and bring forth abundance, and 1 will comfort ynu in the greatest temptation,* and surely he that dncth to the contrary shall be cursed. "J will also send hardness nf the heart on tlieni, and especially on hardened and unpenitent unbelievers; He that hath given In the poor shall find it profitable. Remember tn keep holy the Sabbath Day, for the seventh day I have taken as a resting day tn myself. And he that hath a copy of this letter, written by my own hand and spoken from my own mouth, and keep- eth it. without publishing it to others, shall not prosper, but he that publish- eth it tn others shall he blessed by tne, and if their sins be as many as the stars al niRht, and if they truly believe they shall he pardoned, and they that believe not this Writing and my commandments will have my plagues upon you, and you will be consumed wilh your children, goods, cattle and all other worldly enjoyments that I have given you. Do but once think of what I have suffered for you���if you do. it will be well for you in the world which is to come. ''Whosoever shall have a copy of this letter and keep it in thc house, nothing shall hurt them; .neither pestilence, lightning, or thunder; and if any woman be in birth and put her trust in me she shall be delivered of her child. You shall bear no more news of me except through the Holy Scriptures until the day of judgment. All goodness and prosperity shall be in the house where a copy of this letter shall he'foimd. Finished." From thc hands of the child who found it the letter is said to have passed into the possession of a convert to the Christian faith. For some reason���possibly because of the persecution tn which Christians were frequently subjected or from fear of ridicule���this convert failed tn have the letter published. IK kept it. however, as a sacred memento of Christ, and as such passed it on to his eldest son. who likewise j transmitted it. and thus it came down through many generations, hut never was published, Ihe tradition being thai I when it finally was given publicity : it had been ill this one family for in--re than i thousand years.' j paring all this period of time, (history goes, the family suffered re ft seems thai descendants of the Virginia family moved farther south, still followed by misfortune, and finally the last member, a daughter, approached her deathbed.

When the soldiers had gone a few yards away, the Frenchman, with a last supreme effort, ran as hard as he could to the frontier, crossed it, and I hen. catching sight of his pursuers, called out to them in German' "Don't chase me anv more.

At any rate���and this is .Mrs. Worlnian's understanding���i the daughter on lhe deathbed called in a neighbor woman by the name of Thompson and turned the letter over to her, relating ils history as it had come down through a thousand years or more. Impressed by the Story she had heard from the lips of the dying girl and by the text of the letter, the Thompson woman immediately began an attempt to have it published, and it appeared in the Rome iGa.'l, Tribune. Oct. 31. 1891. From there it was reprinted iii tbe Dalton (Ga.1, Citizen. and Mrs. Wortman. now living at Marion. Intl.. clipped it and retained it in her possession for many years. Recently Mrs. Wortman had it republished in a Marion paper, staling at the time thai during the time she had retained the letter in her posses- sion without having it published or attempting to, she has had a species of bad luck which she attributes to her failure to secure publicity for the letter. And now the letter comes to the SATURDAY CHINOOK from a Shaughnessy Heights reader, with lhe request that we publish it, as hard luck has pursued the family for several years and they hope thai the publication of the letter will lift the hoodoo. I' FRIENDS FRENCHMAN'S THRILLING ESCAPE An exciting tale of escape from pri on in Germany is told in l.e Figaro by a Frenchman whn has since jojned the French army, in which his father and three of his brothers arc also serving. He was imprisoned a year ago while ���on a trip through Germany and taken to Donauesehingeii, a town nn the upper part nf lhe Rhine about fifteen miles from the Swiss frontier.. While the Frenchman was revolving plans of escape he was suddenly transferred far to the north and placed in a big concentration camp in tbe Duchy of Brunswick, with about HMXK) other civilian prisoners To get away from there was oul of the question, but the tenacious prisoner never gave up hope, and last May managed to get permission to be sent back to Ilonaueschin- gen. He. was allowed a fair degree of liberty, but being obliged to report twice a day to the military authorities escape was still a matter of great difficulty. Finally, however, on a moonlight night last August he left his shoes, as was his custom, at the door of his bedroom, and having attached pieces of rubber from pencils to another pair of shoes as a precaution against noise, he silently descended the stairway of his lodgings. Armed with a map, a compass and an electric pocket light, he headed for the Swiss frontier, through forests (uul (across ^treams. After ;i few miles his feet were sore and he found it almost impossible to move further. Then fog made him blunder into a pillage which he was aiming to a- void. A farmer's dog harked and hurled itself at the stranger. "I silenced him with my kinfe." remarks the Frenchman Then he came to a river, with n-i bridge in sight, and there was nothing In. dn hut swim "When I got to tin- other side." says the dougthy cx-pris- nuer, " there was nn part of me dry but my hair." Hut on he pressed, sore and dripping., until he reached a rail- roal .and saw. Close at hand, a customs post The real dangers were he. ginning. There were still five miles between him and Switzerland, his haven of safety, lie crawled across Ihe railroad tracks with the greatest precaution and without arousing the customs officials. Then came a slrip of woods. A friend is a man who is willing to share his time, his money and his conversation with ynu, says George Fitch. There are many kinds of friends. Some friends exist for revenue only and some are protective to a high degree. A true friend is a better defen- er than a battleship, and as a convenience has a national bank beaten all around the compass, Friends are useful in a multitude of ways. They are a great assistance iu smoking clears, in waiting for ducks and in digesting dinners. A great many men find it impossible to support a large, heavy liar in an expensive saloon without the aid of several friends. Friends can be sworn at with comparative safety, and the man who loves tn tell disagreeable truths in an offensive frank manner would not live long if he were compelled lo practice ttpoll strangers instead of friends. Friends are blood relatives of procrastination. Both are great thieves of time. As a rule, friends love most dearly to steal the bright and cheerful evening hours, which should he spent in reading good hooks. It is a common thing for two or three friends io hold up a perfectly respectable business man and take four or five hours away from him, including the hour in which lhe last street car leaves the downtown district. Friends are responsible tor most ol the politicians of the country. Almost every man who has run Inr office has done sn at the insistence of his friends. This can be proved by the statements of thousands nf candidates; However, most of these friends prove their friendship at elections by steadfastly voting for the other felloe,-. David and Jonathan were lhe two first recorded friends of greal deyo- lion. David loved Jonathan like a brother, but was not half so mean to him. Damon and Pythias were celebrated friends who flourished before the Christian era was invented. Pythias look Damon's place in the death cell while Damon visited his relatives and was peeved when he could not die for him. Nowadays even greater heights of devotion are reached between friends who go unflinchingly to death ill each others automobiles iti great numbers. Some people use friends as recreations, some as tonics, some as bank accounts, some as ladders, and s'ome a's. stone walls to lean against. A certain method of finding a friend is to go out and make a noise like a bill breaking. A method not nearly so sure is to go broke,yourself. Friends are pleasant if used in moderation, btit disastrous if used to excess. Very .few men can afford to have more than a dozen friends, unless they have nothing else to do. It is as .much trouble to keep three friends Its it is to keep one hired girl. CASH RATES One cent per word per issue. No advertising for less than 25 cents.

The French DOMINION TRUST WAS WORST OF ALL No collapse in the history of Canadian finance equals in magnitude that of the Dominion Trust Company of Vancouver. Like most of the bank failures in the Dominion, the Dominion Trust went down because of the fact that individuals connected with thc concern used the company's money for other than legitimate purposes. The H'nii- inion Trust story differs from that of the downfall of the long li?-1 of Canadian banks because of the fact that in the smashing of the local institution company officials were aided and abetted by Cabinet ministers and officials of the Government. Here is a partial list of Canadian bank failures which brought ruin to thousands and resulted dire'etly from thc fact that officials stole the money, not however with the connivance of government officials: "March, INS".

Where lo Place the Money. Further Information. Facts and Details as to the working of the Fund: 1. There are 70,000 Canadian Soldiers on the firing line. Thc number is increasing every week. Tobacco is an essential to these men with but few exceptions. 2. To fill the demand 70,000 packets or more are required each week. Not one tenth of this quantity is being supplied. Each package costs 25 cents. To supply the demand 70,000 weekly subscribers are required. 3. Every cent contributed is expended in the purchase of Canadian manufactured Tobacco and Cigarettes to be sent to Canadian soldier; at the front. 4. The whole of the organization expenses are borne by the Overseas Club. 3. The Canadian, British, French and Belgian Governments have agreed respectively to the manufacture of Tobacco in bond and that all Custom duties shall be remitted. 6. The Steamship Companies have granted generous concessions in the matter of ocean rates. The British Authorities have undertaken to carry th; Tobacco lo thc men on the firing line free of any charge. 7. These concessions, together with the special terns arranged with the manufacturers, viz.; The Imperial Tobacco Company of CaCnada, and the Tuckett Tobacco Company Limited, of Hamilton, Ontario, make it possible to supply for 25 cents, more Tobacco than a private individual can purchase in a retail store and send to the front for a dollar. 8. The contents are of good, sound quality and sample packages can be seen at the office of any news paper supporting thc Fund, so that persons des rous of inspecting the same may know just what is being sent to the front. 9. Each contribution of 25 cents will supply a pickage containing 50 best quality Canadian manufactured Cigarettes, one-fifth of a pound of Canadian best quality manufactured Tobacco, a box of matches and a reply post card. 10. The object of the post card is to enable the recpient to acknowledge the gift. The subscriber's name and address are written on the post card and the soldier at the front has merely to write his thank.s on the back. These post cards bring th? sender into personal touch with the receiver and a collection of them make most interesting war souvenirs. 11. It is best to leave the distribution of the parcels lo the Overseas Club, who, by a carefully arranged system, plan the distribution of the gifts in eqjal proportions amongst the various regiments. It is possible to send gifts to special individuals, companies or regiments, and if a contributor expresses his wishes in this respect, giving regimental nu nber and lull particulars, every effort will be made to secure delivery. Thc Overseas Club are now engaged in making arrangements to increase the efficiency of this part of their service. 12. Packages of Tobacco and Cigarettes can only be sent to Canadian soldiers on active service; not to those in England or in Canada. 13. Packages may also be sent to the British Navy, the British Army or the Belgian Army, but in the case of Belgian soldiers it is impossible to make delivery to individuals. 14. Money received for the Tobacco Fund should be paid in, at least twice a month, to either the Bank of Montreal, the Canadian Bank of Commerce, the Union Bank of Canada, the Dominion Bank, the Bank of Hamilton, the Bank of Toronto, the Bank of Nova Scotia, the Bank of Ottawa or the Northern Crown Bank, together with a list of contributors with names and addresses written legibly in order that the post cards may be correctly addressed. 15. Any further information regarding the Fund will be gladly given on application to the Office of the Overseas Club, Room 28, Windsor Hotel, Montreal. FRANCIS R. JONES. Organizing Secretary. .-.....'

DAVID FASKIN. M.A., President. Toronto F. J. GILLESPIE, - Manager for British Columbia OFFICES: 514-515 VANCOUVER BLOCK .,.; I, SPECIAL NUT COAL $5 00 HE government of this province is a matter of big business, we are all stockholders in the affairs in the sense that we have invested in this province all that we possess. The people will be asked to entrust their affairs to men who have proven their worth and ability to handle things in their interests, or whether they will entrust them to a nondescript crowd whose only justification are a desire for office." -The foregoing remark, made in a speech some days ago by F. W. Welsh, one of the Conservative candidates, was the text of Mr. Ralph Smith's address last night before the Liberals of the west end of Wards Three and Four. Mr. Smith said: "If Mr. Welsh can make his assertion good that the present government is a successful business government, the public will be compelled to change its opinion on many commonly accepted business principles. There is only one evidence of the correctness of any principle and that is discovered by results. Are the results of the present government in Victoria beneficial to the general public? Are they distributed equally amongst the people? Does the business principle carried on by the government lend itself to sound development and progress? Does it get the most lor the money it spends? Has it husbanded its resources for the benefit of its stockholders? These are all questions which must be answered in the affirmative if Mr. Welsh's statement is correct. He has arrived at a conclusion concerning the present government which no man could ever discover in themselves kings any government that ever existed. How to get men elected to do public business, to act as discreetly as they do in private affairs, is a problem which greater minds than Mr. Welsh's have been wishing for and trying to accomplish for all time. The strange freak in human nature which shows men doing things every day under the influence of political organization or any other kind of organization which they would never consent to do in their own personal affairs, has never yet been accunted for and I expect never will. The degree to which a government transacts the public business as the individual composing it transacted their own affairs.. I agree with Mr. Welsh is the real test of good government; but to put the present government at Victoria in this category must strike the public mind as a joke. Of course there may be men in business who count success by the measure of tricky methods that brings profit at any cost; but this is a political nol a business method. The everything to get money theory which some men construe into the theory, anything that gets there it successful business. and also dealt with the agricultural commission and wound up hy sayiiiK: "!���'. \V. Welsh, one of your candidates, says this is the way companies do Iheir business and therefore the successful business method. I expect he will not he disillusioned until a full meeting of the voters of the province, although when he is compelled to talk to the people instead of a few party friends he may stop and think. Bowser will sec to it that no such trash is expounded in the election." Theatrical Notes Pantages Theatre Great moments from Grand Opera by the Doree Opera Company head a bill of old favorites at the popular show house next week. The Doree Opera Company have a east of voices who have made themselves a large place in the hearts of music lovers. The Big Pour Male quartette style Ives Icings of harmony, and up to their reputation. Laura Winston & Company present their one-act comedy playlet "The Boy of the Regiment." Those who remember the cjompany in "Our Hoys" will surely know what a go 1 thing is in store. Alice Teddy the skating bear, is back with us again with a lot of new tricks that arc always pleasing to the children as well as grown ups. First run movies close a bill that is one of the best seen in Vancouver for some time. ders, dressed as devils, perform a variety of stunts which cause small shivers to run up and down one's spine. The Allen Shepheiison Trio offer a novelty singing and dancing act which is far above the average. They carry special electrical equipment which includes a railroad engine lighted up on a miniature scale, and a wardrobe which is novel. Their toe-dancing, singing and clean, classy comedy is also much in evidence. Cook & Meyers are simply a riot of laughs and their dancing is fully as good as thc comedy they dispense. They rolled the audience off their .seats at the Grand Opera House in j Seattle and there is every indication that they will repeat here. Chauncey Ireland, who is known to Vancouver theatre goers as vaudeville's sweetest tenor, offers an entirely new character Irish, singing singing art in which he is introducing two of the very latest Irish ballads. "On the Rocky Road to Dublin," and "Molly Dear." These two songs are entirely new to Vancouver and to nnisie lovers, the chance of hearing them rendered in a pleasing manner by this sweet voiced son of Erin will mean much.

What properties did we own���what Investments did we control, what money had we in the bank, and how during a period since the last meeting have managed the business. How do we stand today. Let me report on the very interesting relations existing amongst your hoard of directors. In fact, your managing director and your real manager have had a most serious quarrel���we even took a vote as to how many were supporting cash and we found that your managing director lost out. lie left the hoard meeting and accordingly instructed his secretary to call a special meeting of the stockholders��� which of course you all got notice of and which was just as suddenly called off, and which matter has not been explained to you this day. The only explanation is that your manager got intoxicated with excitement at his | defeat by his friends, but the next morning disclosed the fact that it we called yon together, you would discharge everyone of us, so we have been pulling along with your hoard divided, the business neglected, political conspiracy rampant, until an outside friend came in and made a temporary settlement at your expense but I which we are not inclined to report to ! you.

At this time he was paid to do your business. You owned an interest in these coal lands which were handed over to this coal company and you owned valuable foreshores which wc as directors handed over to the coal company. We remeber now that Dr. Young was very solicitous to have us sign the order to hand these properties to the coal companies, hut we did'not know he had any interest in the business at the time. However, this company was a special friend of the doctor's and wc want you to reappoint him to the board. This must be a satisfactory business transaction. We take all responsibility for these irregularities but it's business and we want your endorsation. "Third. Then we desire to report the satisfactory purchase of two pieces of property, one piece at Victoria and the other in Kitsilano, Vancouver. In buying these we never intended to resell at increased prices for the benefit of the company, but we thought if we had the ownership of these we could give them to friends of your directors who always put things onr way. The price was reasonable. Then in arranging for the purchase, whilst wc have at your expense all the necessary equipment to transact this kind of business, we had two special friends at each place who could materially assist your directors | in promoting their general interest at your expense, so we decided to employ them as real estate agents ���in 'one case we gave $105,U(K) for the Victoria commission, and $80,000 for the Vancouver commission and your board considers they made a splendid bargain.
