Details from Oliver PREMIER OLIVER has agreed with Attorney-General Manson over the discharge of the union member of the Board of Exam- ' iners under the Moving Pictures Act.' This fs the reply received *-by the Vancouver Trades and Labor Council and to whicn the , delegates took exception at the regular meeting held in the Holden Building on Tuesday evening and instructed Secretary Bengough . to demand a more definite reply from the premier. ;- A communication from the Department of Lands informed the 1 Council that the request of the three Radjo Telegraphers who'were , being underpaid in British Columbia will be given immediate attention. This, however, .appears to be what the Government has < been doing since last January. Secretary Bengough reported hav- ! ing sent the poster, displayed by the Vancouver city council on the prairies, warning unemployed workers to stay away from .Vancouver, i to the London Daily Herald, suggest- • ing that it was enough to also warn ' Britishers to stay away fromCanada. Action endorsed. - At the urgent request of the Trades Council, headquarters of the ■.. ' Lathes Union, sanctioned organizer Wilson's stay in Vancouver to finish ' organization of the Lathers.

" The Waste of Natural Resources, WEALTH, in the terms of immemorial economic usage, is derived from labor applied to land. Nearly-everything except personal service which we consume is the result of raw material fashioned and shaped by" human energy, or by machines which human energy has created. We have seen in the foregoing articles something of the waste of energy. It remains to inquire into the waste of land—land in the broad economic sense of all natural resources minerals in the ground; forest and animal life above the ground; fish in the seas; soils; streams. .'•■." What we do here is but to run a rough chain and compass line over the findings of the conservation movement—a movement still a living force, but somehow strangely shrunk^ en from the great days when JKoose- velt was its King Arthur, and Pin- chot its Lancelot. That high adventure into waste has-had its enduring results, lances have been shattered and foemen unhorsed; but on the whole the embattled front of sturdy individualism has not been broken. One lumber king or one coal baron *is styi good for any ten conservationists. The day of the pioneer may have passed its high noon, but it still runs strong. It is not difficult to draw a heartrending picture of the despoliat'on of "a continent. The rape has been colossal and unparalleled in history. More difficult is the attempt to appraise the real economies involved, for, on analysis, the simple dramatic sequence breaks down into many baffling and confusing parts. If an Industrial General Staff had been written into the American Constitution with power to control natural resources in the public interest, enor- moiis,;#astes..niight :hav&6een' averted but the drive of the pioneers westward would have been altogether a different (and, one fears, a tamer) phenomenon.- It is doubtful if the arts of invention would have progressed so rapidly.- The prospector, the speculator, the plunger, and the stark individualist have been vvoven into the whole fabric of the American cloth. Furthermore, the history itself; it is a potential resource, the technique for whose development' is fully known and waste arises because this technique, is not applied. "The world has, used more of its mineral resources in the last 21 years than in all preceding history. The pey capita consumption of minerals has increased seven-fold since 1900." While we have not mined 2 per cent, of'our original supply of coal in the United States, we have exhausted 33 per cent of our high-grade beds. There are only'limited reserves of low volatile smokeless coals, and high volatile gas coals are being rapidly exhausted. We have huge reserves of iron ores, but the high, grade deposits "have the possibly of being exhausted at a cqmjparatjyely.--ear-ly- dater^--ItrfS=prohable that if "business were to catch its stride through the whole world, and normal ..advances were to be made, we would. see the practical end of copper triirir ing in the United .States within the present generation. Of oil, there remains, in the ground (in 1921) about 9,000,000,000 barrels, or "only enough to satisfy our present requirements for 20 years." Meanwhile requirements, particularly for motor trucks, oil-burning' Ships, and aeroplanes, are on the increase. We have exhausted more of our oil reserves since August, 1914, than in all previous lyears! The peak of natural gas production has been passed, the supply diminishes, afid so the chapter of this "wonder fuel" draws to its close. Thus Floyd W. Parsons, editor of the Gas Age Record, sums up the situation in respect to the major inorganic natural resources. Messrs. Gilbert and Pogue are equally explicit: "For every ton of coal produced, our method of mining have placed a .second .ton. beyonda recovery; for every 1000 ft. of natural gas turned" out, a similar' quantity has escaped (into the air); for every barrel oi petroleum that has seen useful service, nine barrels have been wasted . . ..our best and most convenient coals will be depleted in a few. decades, half our petroleum is already used up, and over half oiir natural gas is gone." ■.-.-.

Furthermore, the anthracite monopoly, however much it may have wested the householder's money in high prices, ha's organized the engineering of the industry along reasonably efficient lines. The total .production of soft coal in the .United. States runs around 650,- 000,000 tons a j^ear.' No monopoly governs it; the winds of free- competition blow through it; and it is, in the words of C. E. Lesher, "as unorganized as the1 retail grocery business." To mine the tonnage takes the labor of 600,000 men, but these are idle, on the average, one-third of every year. One niine in every three should never have been opened; the industry has a tonnage capacity from 30 to 40 percent in excess of annual coal requirements. Of the tonnage produced, approximately 60,000,000 tons goes to the making oflioke arid other by-products; 15O,OO0,pOO tons is used by the railroads to drive their engines; 50,000,000 tons is used for po*er generation in public -utility plants, while the balance goes into power aiid heat for factories, and into horise heating. - There are three main sources of preventable tonnage loss: 1. Bad technical methods underground. • -j- -~~rt.:.:Z.. Bad.' technical methods- in steam raising'and heating. ;3,-Failure-to link the coal and water-power into regional superpower systems. And perhaps even more serious still is the failure to salvage by-products. Untold riches in fertilizers, dyestuffs and chemicals are allowed-to go up in smoke—-their only function to ' lSft^.«gi«K3EF-«a**S&aff" largely parallels the history of every other rich and virgin area—-Canada Australia, South Africa; The momentum of such a Conquest is impossible without waste—enormous waste—and it may be that the philosophy which has been applied to standardization in general is roughly applicable here. Free experimentation, proliferation, trial 'and error; then as the stable forms emerge from chaos, order and Standards. But somewhere this mad dance of destruction must abate. So far as human energy is concerned, it is probable that "skimming thecream" from coal and timber and oil has taken rather less effort to date than would have been required, had Conservation been inaugurated with the Constitution. We have, here and there, actually saved some manpower by wasting raw material. This is a policy, however, which has its distinct limitations, ' and builds up meanwhile, as we shajl see, an ever more serious bill of damages against the labor power of the future. * Of course, it is conceivable that tomorrow or next day some new invention may revolutionize the whole case against waste in this category. If we could suddenly get unlimited cheap power out of the winds or out of the tides, the tears.shed for devastated deposits of coal, oil and natural gas would be largely maudlin ones—though the problem o'F-Fy-prft- ducts other than power would still remain. Similarly, cheap nitrogen from the air would cause us'to forget the ravages of the soil. Just what are we to do for timber, however . . .'. . . ? Invention, we are ready.to admit, may knock the bottom out of much of the case for raw materials— but such inventions are still in the Fate, ears' Experience • ROBINSON'S Cycle and Repair Store ; 3917 Main at 23rd - Fair. 5994 Specialist in Bicycle frame repairs Keys cut; Saw sharpened.

Entrance 422 Bicliards Streot, Vanconvor, B.C. Mr. Hugh Archbald, after long experience as a mining engineer, concludes that for every ton of eoal brought to the surface, another, ton is needlessly left in the mine; and that—if tbe. technical arts of mining were fully utilized—-one man, with no more effort could do the work of four. Generally speaking, the underground layout is unplanned.... A small mine has as many roads and turnings as a city of 25,000 people. Any industrial engineer can foretell the result of work so hopelessly planned. Slight supervision, loose organization, poor morale, mearf-tremendous inefficiency in .winning the coal—the whole made worse by periodic layoffs and shutdowns. Meanwhile the accident rate per ton is three times the British rate, and hardly a montn goes by without its mining holocaust. Jhe governing policy of working the big seams — "skimming the cream"—destroys the thinner seams in the process. Gilbert and Pogue conclude: "The ton»age of thin- seam and high-cost areas sacrificed in the process amounts to more than half the total coal produced to date." Floyd VV. Parsons tells of the 500 furnaces, is estimated as enough* furnish at least twenty horse-pow-■< und perhaps morel Part of this inevitable, but certainly it might L- cut in half." George Otis Smith finds that the average steam plant uses eight times as much coal per unit of power, generated as does the most efficient plant. That is if the most efficient plant be given a score of 100 percent, the average plant operates in the neighborhood of 12% percent effectiveness. The United States Fuel Ad- ministratiq^pointed out in 1918 that 25 percent of • all coal was lost through bad firing methods. But power is not the only use for poal. In four minutes Henry Ford converts a ton of bituminous into 8,000 cubic feet of gas, 10 gallons of gasoline, 20 pounds of ammonium sulphate, 30 gallons of crude light tar, 3 gallons of cresote oil, 2 gallons of crude lubricating oil, 10 pounr!? of grease. And he has left 1,6' pounds of coke—either for steel m ing or for the finest kind of sm less fuel. His"~?oal costs him ?» =. ton delivered; the market valu. the above products is $13.56. competing companies in the Central together there are upwards of a Pennsylvania fields, "when in the interests of efficiency, not over ten to fifteen i companies—with, central power and pumping stations—should be operating in large units," George Otis Smith of the Geological Survey, after an exhaustive quantitative study of the existing coal reserves, concludes that the tonnage remaining in the great producing fields of the East is "so limited as to compel us to foresee their exhaustion." The Pittsburgh bed in Pennsylvania was thought good for thirty generations. It will probably last only a single generation. The "Big Vein" in Georges Creek, Maryland, was thought good for 150 years. It is almost .worked out. There is coal bf sorts in the ground for hundreds of years to come—but unfortunately coal, like laundry work, is not all of one grade; there is good coal and bad coal. Due to the wastefulness of steam-t making, only 4 per cent of the original ton is finalfy utilized. The combined losses aggregate 96 percent. Messrs. Huntington and Williams observe: "The waste of coal is so enormous that where one horse-power or its equivalent in heat is really used, the consumption or waste of coal under* ground, on the railroads, and in the is thus a knife'with a double edge; we^ waste power, heat, arid by-products' in order to waste comfort, beauty and cleanliness.

The administrator managed, by unfair tactics, the Rehoboths allege, to secure the Old Raad's signature to a treaty which surrendered practically all the rights enjoyed under the pre-war conditions.. The Old Raad was immediately repudiated and thrown out of office; the majority elected a New Raad, refused to obey the administrator's decree, and appealed to the League. The administrator countered by declaring the New Raad an illegally elected body and supported, the Old Baad with military force. "We have done all that is within our power, but to no purpose (writes the new Raad to the administrator.) We withdraw ourselves once and for all and shall no.more ask your counsel or advice : . . we remain Henceforth totally independent of you because we see that the magistrate and the administrator persist in forcing tbe people against their will to bow to the deposed raad and also even to the agreement We will not obey any laws except those of our own raad; we will serve, only laws of our fathers which are ^still independent; The Old Raad appealed to the administrator, who, with law and regularity on his side, issued a procla- MAKE it yourself at home with our Peerless Yeast . , and other Peerless ingredients.

It is even charged "that they were planning military reprisals (perhaps reminiscent of Sjnn Fein days in Ireland.)- The administrator sent several hundred police into the community. Reports of uprisings aniong the 4,500,000 Hereros, Hottentots, Kaffirs, and other blacks drifted in. A German tramp steamer, the Nordmaark, was captured bff the west coast of South Africa, laden to the decks with rifles, machine- guns, and ammunition. It had cleared from Hamburg. "Its destination has never been ascertained—or revealed. Finally, one Sunday morning, after a flying column of 75 South African troopers had marched through a rainy night, the administrator delivered his coup de grace. With airplanes hovering overhead the Veldtmen surrounded the Rehoboth village. Taken by surprise at this move—they hadf regarded the administrator as a "devout churchman who would not break the Sabbath"—the- Rehoboths were disarmed and some 700 made prisoners; Hofmeyer's official report tells the rest of the story. "Four hundred of the prisoners were punished ... fines from two to thirty pounds sterling and jail sentences from four days to three months at hard labor. . . The manner in which the Rehoboths have defied the administration has made the natives defiant, too. > . Martial law has been declared." Thus the stiuation stands. The Rehoboths have been completely subjugated for the time' being. They are a "native population." The treaty rights, respected by the German Kaiser for almost fifty years, are repudiated. The mandates commission of the League of Nations has almost'unlimited power. It can recommend that a mandate be cancelled or changed. It can force a mandatory power to recognize the Rehoboth pact with Germany or even grant the people independence.

Under the Unemployment Insurance Act passed this year, 200.000 persons are disqualified for benefit because of the fact that it is now necessary tor have 80 stamps on one's insurance card, « •■ ' . The new regulations are goingJjP rob the workers of £6,500,000 a year. These statements,, which emphasise the graye chai-acter of the insidious "economy" practised by the Baldwin Government, were made by Mr- Walter Barber, secretary of the Bradford and District Trades and Labor Council, on Saturday, at a conference convened by the Council to consider the new regulations. ! Aresolution was passed emphatically protesting against the Act and the regulations, pointing out that they caused great hardship, -ta~niany thousands of unemployed workpeople, and deprived local unemployment committees of rights which they previously possessed. The resolution further called upon the Trades Union Congress General Council and the Labor Party to bring the utmost pressure to bear upon the Government with the object of introducing legislation "to nullify the infamous regulations." Driven to Guardians The new regulations referred to are designed to stop or reduce the benefit of single persons living with relatives, to sweep women and the older men off the registers, and generally drive people to the Guardians. The power of decision hitherto resting with the local committees of employers and workers is now transferred \o the Minister of Labor, at present Sir- Arthur Steel-Maitland. On October 1, the "waiting period" before insurance could be claimed was extended from three daya to six, causing especial hard- , ship to thousands of the lower (Trades of workers. Mr. Barber, in the speech quoted, said there were, various types oi "dole." One type waa represented by Queen Alexandra's £7,500 a year, the Duchess of Argyle'a £6,000 a year, and' the present Lord Nelson's £5,000 a year—all non-contributory. Another type was the "dole" which working people paid for 'and drew at the Employment Exchange. The latter, unlike the former, was a right, not a charity, but it was being denied to many. He described as damnable the reported statement Of Mr. Baldwin that he was in favor of unemployment benefit being administered on similar lines as poor relief and given in the form of food instead of cash. The whole question, said Mrv Barber, affected not ordy" the textile worker, the miner, the engineer, or shipbuilder, but the middle-class worker, who was, often now seen in kid gloves and neatly dressed, queue- ing up with the manual workers at the Labor Exchanges. Women Insulted Some amazing allegations as to methods being adopted in order to deprive working women of unemployment benefit Avere given at a meeting bf the Birmingham Trades Council on Saturdays^ _.-„"- Councillbn^E. Pardoe said that a group of recently-mari'ied women, who had been dismissed by firms because they were married, applied for standard benefit, to which they were fully entitled, having been insured persons for many years. Instead of being granted benefit, these women were sent before the local Court Of Referees. One. woman had been employed by a firm as clerk for 15 years, and was dismissed about two months ago when 8he~maiTtedr:-Sh<r was maTcing~hef fiftt claim for benefit,' ——^—r— - The Questions The following dialogue, it is declared, took place between a member o fthe Court and the applicant:—r What wages does your husband earn?—£2 a week. How much does he give you?— 34s... '. .- ..... .' a Can yoO not manage on that? —No. I have to pay' 15s. for rooms. Was it necessary forvyou tp be married?—I do not, undei-stand you. , . Were you forced to be married? —Certainly not. Well, why did you get married when you knew your husband could not keep you in comfort?—No reply. I suppose you thought you might not get another chance. You are no spring chicken, you know. You are 39. ' . ■: " This applicant's claim was turned down. Every applicant was asked the same series of questions, and much distress was caused to the women, some of whom broke down and cried. The Council passed a resolution demanding the l'emoval of the official, and the matter has been taken up by the Birmingham Central Employment Committee.—-Daily Herald.

POPULAR PRICES TABLES FOR LADIES REST ROOMS FOR LADIES NEVER CLOSED MAINLAND CIGAR STORE : THE PLACE FOR PIPES Jit CARRALL STREET, VANCOUVER Subsidizing Govt. Ownership Alarmed at the prospect of a nation's entire quota of workers being subsidized by the government, Sir Samuel Instone, a British coal and slipping magnate, flatly came out recently for the nationalization of British railways. But unlike the views of Socialists and labor people, who have 'always held that every nationalizes industry should be self-supporting, he is even more radical in that he insists that once the1 railroads are nationalized, they should also be subsidized, the tariffs of freight transportation not to be based on cost but merely to be nominal.. The -difference between cost and income to be made up by taxation. Of course, Instone's purpose is evident. -If subsidization of any class is necessary, he would rather have his class subsidized than many of the workers. By charging only a nominal transportation rate the cost of materials would be much cheaper and the' owners of productive industry would thereby greatly be benefited. He insists further that his nationalization scheme, if put into practice, would lower costs so materially all around that industry would be stimulated, unemployment done away with and the cost of living lowered. We doubt vei-y much whether his plan would have in full the effect ho claims fOf it. While one of the evils of the coal situation, for example, is unreasonable freight charges, the more predominant evils, as revealed by the Sankey Commissioner in 1919 in England, and by investigations of the same industry in this country, are the payment of. royalties upon royal ties, the high profits, the duplication and Waste in middle-man manipulation and in the unscientific methods of coal management. To a smaller degree this would be true of, most other industries. Yet Sir Samuel Instone's propagation of the nationalization of railroads is significant. From the business men themselves comes the intimation that the old methods of business are obsolete. Private initiative and unhindered or even regulated comnetitive practices' are no longer held to be the only sure and efficacious way of getting our wants satis- fled. They even interfere in our efforts to fill our needs, ' It is a realization that those who advocate nationalization are not so impractical after all and that this means may be the only way of saving civilization from greater chaos. What a philosopher would conclude from Sir Samuel Instone's declaration is that the world is getting smaller all the ...time... That if we desire to keep our elbows from sticking into each other's ribs we. must have intelligent planning of industry in accordance with national needs and not permit every individual or group of individuals to grab where and what best they may and sanctify such procedure as "natural law." Sir Samuel Instone, to be entirely logical, should not only have advocated the nationalization of the British railroads, but of the coal mines he owns, as well. But perhaps the British owners of railroad stock will now come out for the nationalization of coal. —The Railway Clerk.

In four constituencies there .are Labor and Independent candidates, supported by the U.F.A. All of these endorsed candidates are deserving pf the strongest kind of support from the farmers, not only because Labor is content to give its support freely to' the Farmer candidates, without any demand for joint platforms, but also because these four men ar.e strongly sympathetic to the farmers' movement, ■...■■ As Robert Gardiner stated at his Crossfield meeting, Mr.."Ityine, who is running in East Calgary,'could not haye served the farmers of Alberta better at Ottawa if he had been a straight U.F.A. representative. Mr. Irvine IS known in all-parts, of the- Prbvm'ce as an exponent of the principles upon which the U. F. A. is founded. Mr. East, who is running in West Edmonton, is also well known in the farmers' movement, and is a believer in U. F.. A. principles, and Mr. Latham, in East Edmonton, who addressed the U. F; A. convention two; years agp, is a strong Labor man who has always sought to co-operate with the organized farmers. Captain Shaw's record of service at Ottawa entitles him to all.the help the farmers can give. Beauty is only skin deep, but who wants to skin a pretty girl?

Super-patriots Receive Jolt in New South Wales Sydney, Australia, (F.P.)—The jingo politicians who, when the last anti-Labor government was in power in New South Wales, introduced a regulation making.it compulsory for school children every Monday morning to sfalute the national flag and repeat this pledge: "I honor my God; I serve my King; I salute my Flag," have received a set-back. School teachers in conference at Sydney have carried a motion asking the Labor government to. withdraw the compulsory flag-saluting farce. They pointed out that the loyalty demonstrations were treated as a huge joke by most of the children in the school, and in any case ife-was against, the Australian senti-^ ment to be tied down *|«Pted-aritPf*,*s fast public expressions,of loyalty. f The Labor government has issued the requisite prohibition.

This unique question was asked Isabelle Herbert, petite Star who plays the part of Tothdeleyb in the great stage play "White Cargo" which comes-to the Orpheum next Monday, Tuesday ,and Wednesday. • For the benefit of those uninitiated in the knowledge of the character of Tomdeleyo, suffice it to say that it is one which requires the services of a colored maid to completely cover the. pretty little stars body' with a coat pf light tan from head to foot. Tondeleyo in "White Cargo" is an alluring primitive vamp whose blood contains a mixture of french and West African, combining the impulsive character of the Parisienne with the primitive passions of the jungle woman. ' . Tondeleyo's makeup is an elaborate one to put on and take off, so, in order to play the primitive, she requires-all-the modern,- -up-to-date paraphanalia. Miss Herbert is almost boiled after each ■ performance in order to retrieve her natural complexion and as she says: "If cleanliness is next to Godliness, then I am sure of it for I have done much scrubbing in this 'part:" In addition to Miss Herbert there is a superb past of New .York stars who have done much towards making "White.

This vivid dramatisation of the great book "Hell's Playground" brings home forcibly the hard grind of body and soul tp-keep out the inevitable "African Rot" made by white traders plying > their livlihood among the dreary places'of the Dark Continent.

Our Only Hope 'By F. W. MOORE. "What's an election, Daddy?" "An election, my son, is a convocation of people, called by the manipulators of political machines to vote for rriembers of parliament already appointed." "But, if they are appointed, why do they'vote, Daddy?" • "' Well, the people enjoy being fooled, and in order to flatter them, the machines give one a choice of two candidates either' of which is acceptable to them, therefore, the one returned is virtually appointed." "But everybody says this is a free country;" "Why certainly, 'tis a free country. One is .free to make as big a fool of himself as he can." "But surely, you don't pretend that the ordinary wage, or salaried,, or small profiteering man is a fool." "Well no, except in as far.as.his o\yn interests are concerned, In many ways he is shrewd, but listen: There is, right now, at a time when the number of the unemployed in the principal -manufacturing countries run into the hundreds of thousands, machinery, which according to reputable authorities cari, if run to capacity, produce one hundred times more wealth per man than the said man can produce by hand. That information I read in the June, i024, .'Scientific Monthly.' . - "Let us, however, take a very conservative estimate of the case and say that under present circumstances he couldjirflduce- tw^nty-timefLas. much. Now imagine a world full of natural resources, possessing the most powerful aggregation of machinery ever known, with unlimited possibilities of increase. Picture beside them the greatest array of indigent unemployed ever enrolled in the annals of poverty, and then analyze, if you can, your mental portrait. Can the incidental conditions be right, or just, or honourable, or are they merely idiotic? "But the trouble is not with the unemployed ■ alone. , . fc Numberless others are living fn constant fear of revolution. They have already established their Ku-Klux-Klans and Facisti, and in Europe, particularly, there are societies calling on the peo-. pie for millions of volunteers to fight, if necessary, for God, King and country, but, 'if they took into account the effect of natural law, including that, incidental to the principle of economic determinism, they would be far more likely to think that it is God who projects' the country, and not the Facistrwho protect God." . "But the question is, Daddy, what can be done about it?' "Why, we canjjreak tht spell that the riiesmeric propagandistsi have cast over the people." In the Tonsorial Chair BY SPUD TAMSON "But that seems impossible." "Nonsense, boy, the people are already in a receptive mood, and all we Heed is a virile Labour party, aided by industrial and other organizations to agitate constantly in bringing about changes in our outlandish ideals of life. We have the nuclei of these institutions at present, and now, during the electioneering excitement we may be able tor arouse lnoTe"than- the usual interest in these conditions. There are already in the field a few Labour candidates, and the return of these ought to do incalculable good, not only in fighting for the amelioration of adverse conditions, but by Way. of advertising the necessity of constitutional change before too much indifference gives rise to circumstances that might or might not be truly deplorable, Here are a few of their objectives: Old-age' pensions; emancipation from economic care and poverty; work for the unemployed; tariff reform ; amendment to the emigration laws; education along lines of social and political economy with the ulti' rnate goal always in view of establishing a co-operative commonwealth.

What is your trouble this jnorning? Haircut and shave? Very good, sir. Don't hear very much of you these days,, Ian, I expected to see you stumping for Gerry McGeer or McLennan, : but perhaps you see the humiliating spectacle McLennan puts up on the platform and hardly think it worth while to justify his being returned by thg electors? Yes, sir, he's a joke. It's a funny thing Ian that Jerry McGeer's central committee rooms on Hastings Street should be right next door to where a REAL OCTOPUS caught in Coal Harbor, is being shown. HO* HO, that is appropriate, "TWO REAL OCTOPUSES" side by side. One a money grabbers with suckers on the public purse, and the -other looking for, flesh. Oh, yes, I forgot you were at outs with,, the Liberals at Victoria over that cabinet job. I know just how you feel about Odium refusing the position because when he turned it down you Were net considered at ail. 'Too badrTSn; and., you having the ambition of becoming Piemier~some day. I was reading a book the other day, that should interest you, called "Our Noble Families," which shows how the ancestors of those Dukes ahd Lords in Scotland stole the lands of the common people, murdered their own kith and kin, forged papers, deported or starved the settlers, and ruined, pillaged and burned their belongings so that the_land-_could-4>e turned into. ffeerTorests. Don't do that sort of thing in Canada? Is that so? Well, that is where you stand on your own foot, slim. Was not the lands of the common people stolen arid-Handed" over to the 0. P. R. and the Hudson's Bay Co.? Millions of acres to each of them for which never a red cent was paid. And does the Liberal or the Tory governments ever dream of taxing these guys anything like what the property is worth? I'll say not. You never hear Stevens throwing that at the- Liberals nor McGeer throwing it-at the Conservatives,, but, some'day the people of this country will bb faced with the question of how to get these lands backhand then the cry will arise, ^'.Compensation riot confiscation," arid the people who advocate getting the land-back by the same method that they were acquired will be Bolsheviks, and men without honor, and all the rest of that claptrap. I'm not patriotic? Oh, shucks. Are the lumber barons who send the timber out of this country patriotic? Are the mine-owners who send the minerals to another country to be smelted patriotic? Yes, they are, patriotic to Capital. They care not-whether-the~ slaves be black, yellow or white, whether they be happy or sad, well fed or starved, So long as tliey get their returns. So why should I or any* other worker bother ourselves about what compensation they should get. No, no, Ian, just you think where you would have been if that rich relative of yours had not taken hold of you and given you an education. You very likely w°u'd have been still herding sheep, ori the moors -of-Sutherlandshirennd-prob^ ably would have had a different slant on life. Yes that's finished.

FOR THE SAFETY OF THE MOTORING PUBLIC A bill was endorsed and will no doubt be presented at the next session of the Oregon State Legislature as follows: The bill asks that provisions be made for the licensing of, automobile mechanics and that. Orily journeymen who have had four years experience will be qualified to take the examination; and where helpers or apprentices are employed they shall work under the supervision of the journeymen. There is a general demand for such legislation by the motoring public which is becojning disgusted with having amateurs and inexperienced men work on their cars and at the same time have to pay exorbitant charges. ; ... . , However- most atfy automobile owner will say "I don't care about the charges, if I am not, only sure of good workmanship." Therefore we are trying to help the motoring public as Well as purscives. There will be also similar appeals presented to the California State Federation of Labor this month. We might say that several instances of serious accidents having been caused by inexperienced men working of cars have come to our notice at different times.

The foreigner buttoned his military tunic and emerged into the darkness groping for light, mental and material. There was to be a learned lec- tur in Vancouver Institute by an eminent authority, within four miles of his hut, as. the crow flies. To wait for cars was useless and uncertain; he took a firm step and disappeared. . '-V'\ He was too late in arriving by some ten minutes, so he took a back seat and cautiously took out a note book. As his pencil danced nervously it was evident that he was drinking in all that 'was being poured out of the speaker's mouth. The lecturer dwelt much on the fauna and flora of Palestine,--a1 quite familiar topic it seemed, to the, foreigner. He,„-{the lecturer) stressed a lot on the mistranslation of the Holy Writ,—quoted authorities from botany, compared notes, slnyed fundamentalism on its stubborn resistance against truth, used the taboo word "Evolution" with the high frequency and directness of a 4-in. Howitzer gu* - ' « Modernism was the tlist word in the modern thought, and all the support to the spell-binding discourse was smuggled in duty free aiid proffered as home made products, With hardly a reluctant consent or two, some mispronounced name was mentioned. The foreigner^jat: clenched his fistrit^was quite apparent he was raving mad but silent, The lecturer ended with a, verbatim quotation from a duud celebrity, who was crucified some twenty-five years ggo at the gallows of popular fanaticism and he was being Deified today without even getting any credit for, his words or thought. As the speaker bowed with the satisfaction Of a sophomore who finishes his piece, a prolonged applause rent the, silence.;„i„The«pchairman' with/la hard Scotch accent invited the public to ask questions. There were a few timid but more speechlike questions and apologetic answers. The-for- eigner_got_np-ind. asked Jiis-JHewas^ asked forward so as to be heard. Stepping forward he repeated.: "In view of the fact that, as the speaker said, the followers of the central figure of the Synoptics did not understand him aright, that the translator did not translate correctly, that the scientific conception of today does not endorse most of the ideas of that, day, is it possible to think that either' the central figure of the Synoptics did not express those ideas therefore they were erroneous records, or the ierdg-were-correet—mrtrlier only" shared the contemporary superstition and did not know?" The house was silent for a full minute, the speaker got up and politely said that he couldn't answer those questions and still be popular. The chairman jumped on his long lean legs, his bald head shining under the light. He leaned forward and glared as though he were suffering from an ancient grudge: "This is not an open-Fornm to-ask-suck-questions," he said with a hard Scotch accent. After the national anthem was sung, the crowd and foreigner emerged into the silent outer darkness and every thing was lost.-.... away in the distant darkness there were some heated arguments and some keen ears which had been in the audience caught these words: "Allow me to tell yon this, if I were to choose be- twen the two, I'd rather, far rather, choose the. fundamentalists conception than that of an apologist with pseudo scientific catch-phrases and smuggled authorities without due credit to them, because then I know who to fight with, but now I am in the fog more than ever." The voice was that of the foreigner in the fog.-r-Artaban. WW flfrg Ulnmpang Our Imperial RANGE Is the Best on the Market.
