Former train robber, reformed, who will be a candidate for the governoi> ship of Oklahoma. 'His story, "Beating Back," published recently, whb widely read. (By Pally News Leased Wire) OTTAWA, Jan. 21.—-Today tho lenders of both political parties in the senate and the house of commons paid earnest tributes to the great Canadian who passed away In Loridtin yesterday. At' the conclusion both houses adjourned until tomorrow in respect for the honored dead. Graceful tributes from Right Hon. R. L. Borden, Sir Wilfrid "Unirier, in the commons, und Sir George W. Ross and Hon. Senator Lougheed, in the upper house, bore evidenco .of the high regard In which the lute high commissioner Was held in'parliamentary circles, und of the great work which he Had performed in consolidating Canada and materially advancing the Dominion's progress. Of those who were colleagues of Lord Strathcona in the house of commons only 12 are now .members. They are Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Speaker Sproule Hon. George E. Foster, Hon. J. D. Hazen, Hon. J. D. Reld, Hon; David Henderson, William Smith (of South Ontario), Reuben L. Truax (of South Bruce), Col. Sum Hughes, W. B. North up (or Must Hastings), W. F. Maclean (of South York), and W. H. Bennett (of East Slmcoe). Each of these men retains memories of the late high commissioner when, as the member for Selkirk, and later of Montreal centre, he occupied a place in the llOUBC. "It "is fitting, 1 am sure ail the members of both Bides in this house will agree," said Right Hon. R. I.. Harden, '"that we should^ pay a,tribute., loathe ' memory of the great Canadian who bas passed away. I speak of Lord 'Strathcona as a Canadian because, although born ucross the sen, his life's work wns almost nltogether carried on in this country, to the service of which he consecrated many years of his life. "When one looks back upon the great span of years over which his lifetime has stretched, one is tempted to recall ull that hits trunsplred in his majesty's Dominions on this side of the Atlantic Since Lord Strathcona came lo this country at the age of 18. At ihut lime there was much political unrest ln Canada, carried in some parts of the country even to rebellion. At that time we had not achlaved the right of self-government or many of those constitutional liberties which have since been developed and have come into force from time to i'.me. From 1838, when, I think, he first en me to Canada, during the period of his life which succeeded, he saw what oiio might call a complete trinsforma- tlon of the northern half of this continent. , "He hod been a prominent figure in the house of this country before he undertook, at the ago of 76, to dls- . charge the duties of the high office of ' "high commissioner for Canada. My right" hen. friend knows perhaps better that 'I do the devotion which Lord Strathcona. gave to those duties. 1 have known many man In my lifetime who have been inspired by a high sense of duty, but I do not know of any man in my acquaintance and knowledge who had been inspired by u higher conception of dpty than was Lord Strathcona, As the weight of yfears pressed on him, it was almost pathetic to see the devotion With which he Insisted on performing even the minor duties of his position. In all the time I have known him—and that was in the later years of his life —I Was strack v/lth the fact that time did not seem to have dimmed the freshness of his spirit, the vigor of his will, or his strength of purpose. "The duties of the office which he discharged were always important und sometimes delicate, and IN is satisfactory to us to remember that no man more than he had a high pride In his country, in all that it has achieved, In all that It might achieve In the future, and no man more than he had a deeper Interest In all that concerns the honor, dignity and- interest of Canada, nor was more concerned to do his duty. Sot Great Example "I need not recall to the memory of ..members of this house the notable events of his great career. Through many different conditions he advain ed with indomitable will and great strength of purpose to great things, and for many years he was truly a great imperial figure, I think that the example of his life may well be an Inspiration to us Canadians. Some one has Said many years ago that Thomas Cnrlyle spent his life In preaching earnestness to the most earnest peoplo in the world. Some lessons in earnestness, perhaps, might not be thrown away upon the people ln the British dominions, and I am sure that the earnestness of purpose set forth ln the record of Lord Strathcona may well serve as an example to all Canadians. "It ls not for me to speak at length of his great public service. In the office which he filled he performed great and important public service to PREMIER M'BRIDE 18 SUGGESTED Many Names Beinq Mentioned as Possible Successor to High , Commiscionorship.

BODY TO LIE * BESIDE WIFE (Continued as Fag** Wv*> Lord Strathem-Vs l-ist Wish Was to Be Bur. , ,'.. Highgate Cemetery. (Western Associated PresB Special Cable.) LONDON. Jan. 22.—The funeral of Lord Strathcona will take place on Monday at Highgate cemetery, where he will be laid to rest beside the body of his wife, who died November 12. This course will be taken at the desire of his lordship, expressed a few hours before he lapsed into unconsciousness. The government was prepared* to offer a place for the gr«-nt Canadian in St. Paul's cathedral, or oven, tn Westminster abbey, but when the suggestion was made to the Baroness Mount Royal and strathcona she stated that it was her father's wish that he should be laid beside his wire with as little ostentation as possible. It Is certain, however, that a national memorial to the dead high commissioner will he placed In St. Paul's cathedral or in the historic hall of Westminster abbey. Chancellor's Tribute. Public men continue to testify their sincere regret at the death- of Lord Strathcona. Right Hon. David Lloyd George, speaking to the Daily Mail, said: "One can only regret the removal of such a figure. The empire hns lost one of Its greatest citizens." Donald McMaster, M.P., paid a tribute to the Indomitable spirit, the supreme optimism and the quenchless faith of the man who had <.one most to make Canada what it is toilay. Among the various stories regarding Lord Strathcona published In the newspapers is one relating to a difficulty he had with the garter klng-at- arms when he was ennobled. He presented his design for his coat of arms, but the official objected that it was not correst, pointing out that Lord Ilkeston was not allowed to have a stethoscope on his coat of arms. The garter klug-at-arms demurred at Lord Strathcona's design for a crest he- cause it contained a representation of a railway tie, but he was eventually compelled to accept the prosaic emblem of Canada's first transcontinental railway. Right Hon. Lewis Harcourt, colonial secretary, speaking nt Hastingden, said Lord Strathcona wus a great pioneer In all that was best In North America. Beck May Succeed.

REPORT OF CRANBROOK AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION (Special to The Dally News.) CHANBROnK, 13. C, Jan. 21.—Tin- secretary's reporl of the Cranhrook Agricultural association gives a resume of Hie work of lhe past year. It says in part: A comprehensive and fairly generous prize list was compiled. The prize list was published earlier than usual and was followed by a long list of special prizes. In response to an oft- repeated demand for Caledonian sports the directors decided tu make these the feature of the fair. From a financial standpoint Hie results were very disappointing, us ihe program failed to draw anything like the crowd thai a racing program always brings out, The outstanding features of the fair Were the livestock, tbe poultry and tin- school exhibit. The livestock parade wils an eye-opener to many and would certainly prove to outsiders that Cranbrook was at least not in tbe background where thoroughbred stuck was concerned. Taken all In all the directors ar be congratulated on the. showing they made in lhe face of so many unavoidable setbacks. Money was hard to get and several subscriptions of $50 and one of $150, as well as the expect ed municipal grant of $200, were not lo be obtained. Then came the-*"-**■ to raze the builiJi»rr.->. Lut a. spec grniit ut anooo obtained from the gu ernmeni by our esteemed member saved the situation In that respect, Ul lo the present no depreciation ha*- been allowed on the buildings. Tills year more than $1,000 bas been spent tin them and ul tho ugh they are In better condition than ever before yet the book value Is entered at the same figure as last year. The expenses in lhe way of salary have been greatly curtailed, only $425 being spent, as against $066 last year. All prizes have been paid iu full. Rule 2 had to be enforced on account of the falling off In gate money caused by the fair being held during the Spokane fair and by the storm which knocked- the bottom out of the business on the first day. This rule,reads that when there are not three exhibits in a class the first prize money ehall not be paid. This worked well enough except in the registered male classes in the livestock. The dlreclors have come to the conclusion that these Masses should be exempt from that rule, as a district like this is hardly ever likely to support more Ihan a couple of pure bred registered males in any one breed, nnd the owners cf such animals deserve the best treatment possible as they are benefactors to tlic place. Tho thanks of the directors and stock raisers are tiue to those gentlemen (of wlic"' there are many) who despite the money tightness came forward -'nd helped so liberally to make the exhibition of 1013 a credit to the district and a distincl and unmistakable sign of the great agricultural progress that is being made In the Crnn- brook district. The financial statement was as follows: Interest on units, $146.63; preparation of grounds $1,019.03, less government grant of $1,000, $19.03; printing, advertising, etc, $451.84; miscellaneous expenses, $34G.0O; prizes, 11.93... 12; maintenance of premises $262.96, salaries and help, $435; postage and express, $34.50; other (Soeclul to Tbe Dally News.)

THURSDAY, JANUARY 22 LORD STRATHCONA. The death of Lord Strathcona removes from the public life of thc Hritish empire a noble figure and takes from Canada a. staunch friend nnd a public servant devoted to her interests and never weary in promoting her welfare. Lord Strathcona has died as he had lived, in harness, engrossed to the last in public affairs. His old age was as a lusty winter, frosty but kindly, nnd he has been gathered to his fathers full of years and honors. Long will his memory remain green in the hearts of his fellow countrymen, and so long as wheels turn on the great transcontinental railway which his efforts so largely created he will not* lack a memorial. \tt is for his work in connection with thye construction of the Canadian Pacific railway that Lord Strathcona will popularly be chiefly remembered, and for ids accomplishment In this respect Canada owes him a deep debl of gratitude, none the less profound because his courage ami Indomitable jireseverance in the face of discouragements that would have overwhelmed a less sanguine soul won for himself wealth and honors and repute. It is perhaps not loo much to say that Lord Strathcona accellerated the development of the west hy a decade, for hnd the transcontinental project, which he championed fallen a failure, as it would have done but for his financial genius, dauntless energy and enthusiasm, when and by whom would II have heen revived? In his latter days as high commissioner Lord Strathcona placed the crown upon his life's work. Ho became to thc people of Great Britain, in some sense, tlie embodi ment of Canada and its opportunities-- he was, probably, the most promlncnl aud most widely known of all the public men of tbe British dominions beyond seas, and lie neglected no opportunity to promote tiie interests of the land whose welfare he had so much at heart. Lord Strathcona possessed In a'Ugh degree the best traits of the race from which he sprang, allied to an abnormal prescience and breadth of vision, His determination brooked no defeat, his courage was daunted by no obstacles, his shrewdness found lor him paths through difficulties to others impenetrable, lie knew men and A bile of this and a taste'of that, all day isn-f, dulls tha appetite and weakens the digestion.

He played! his part at a time in the history of Canada when his qualities were .most, needed aud had widest scope. He won success; he did more—h© deserved it. With wealth he showed that he had charity—charity not of the vainglorious typo which repays itself by the monuments that it rears to itself, but inassitmlng and sincere. Lord Strathcona's gifts In private probably e'lunl- Icd those of which the world has heard, great as they have been. Ho was Inspired by genuine patriotism, by love of Canada and empire, and his equipment and dispatch of Strathcona's horse to the empire's war in South Africa was a noble Idea, nobly conceived and nobly carried out. He was simple-minded, devoted to the spouse with whom he had linked bis fate in the early days of his career, approachable, unostentatious, a fit liroduct of tlie boundless and breezy west where lay much of his life's work. Lord Stralhirona's death removes a link with the past and deplenishes that windling company of those who took prominent, part In laying the foundations of the Dominion as il is today. Morn In thc reign of George III. he lived under six British sovereigns. From the days of the stage coach and p'ostchalses he lived to see the era of ulomobiles and aeroplanes. When he came to Canada iu the first year of Victoria's reign the voyage across the Atlantic In sailing ship took six weeks, now accomplished in six days or less. Then the fertile prairies of Uio west were regarded as a frozen waste and Hritish Columbia as a desolate sea of mountains. Lord Strathcona lived to see a transformation in the faco of nature am] in thc ideas of men and no one contributed more to that hiingc than he.

THIS DAY in CANADIAN HISTORY Ti is date 1.01 years ago must have ajbcu a red-letter day in .the life of Gen, Procter, who, in the story of the war of 1812 generally appears as a toll to the heroic figures of Gen. Brock and Chief Tecuiuseh. On January 22, 181.1, however, this frequently unfortunate soldier did achieve a brilliant success. He was then In command of Detroit, captured hy Brock during the previous summer, and learning that the American Gen. Winchester, "with upwards of 1,000 men, being the right wing of Harrison's army," was on tiie way to attack him, and had occupied French town, qii the River Raisin, lie marched out to check his advance. Procter's force consisted of about BOO regular soldiers and militiamen and (100 Indians, under a chief named Roundhead, Winchester's post was strongly stockaded, but Procter made a fierce onslaught on tiie place before daybreak and succeoded In capturing the American general and nearly half the force, while many other Americans were killed or wounded, According to the lists sent to Governor Pre vost the number of prisoners exceeded that of the white troops on the British side, and for once at least Procter received the warmest praises for his gallantry!

"Tho attendance ul night was su lame that hundreds were turned nwoj but Ihey still had the opportunity of seeing the picture by going across Un street and to Ihe next block, when the Monarch, by arrangement with tin Hex exhibited the picture at night. By this means hardly a soul was disappointed. This was the first time In the history of motion pictures in Calgary that the same film was utilized at two theatres at tbe same time. The Identical pictures as exhibited al the Rex were at the Monarch and tht orchestra of both theatres played the same Incidental music.

TOOK INTER:ST IN BRITISH COLUMBIA Premier and Leader of Opposition in Legislature Voice Regret at Loss of Friend. ■Sm-oial to The Dailv News.) VICTORIA, B. C, Jan 21.—Tlie eulogy spoken by the premier on the death of Lord Strathcona at today's sitting of the house will rank as one of the greatest oratorical efforts over delivered in the legislative chamber. Sir Richard McBride lias ror many years been a close persona! friend of the late high commissioner ror Canada. In seconding the resolution or ■ondolence to his family, Parker Williams spoke of Lord Strathcona as a man born of the multitude, a man who retained his faculties unimpaired to the end, a man of high character and great resources. The lieutenant-governor appeared in person In order to give his sanction to tho bill validating the payment f expenses to those members who have heen serving on royal commissions. Ou his departure the premier moved the Following resolution: "That this house has learned with deep regret of the death or Lord Strathcona an(] Mount Royal, and desires to express its high appreciation 'if the great services he rendered during a long and honored career lo the Dominion and to the empire. "On behalf of the people of Hritish Columbia this house desires to extend its sympathy to the Hon. Margaret Howard and tho other members of the family. "And that his honor the lieutenant- governor be requested to forward, through the proper channels, to hif royal highness the governor-general of Canada and to*the l|f>"- Margaret Howard, copies of this resolution." Supporting the resolution tbe premier said: "Throughout IiIb long life Canada ivas ever in tlie forefront or Lord Strathcona's vision. Even In his advancing years he evinced the very keenest Interest in its welfare; he was a citizen or Canada to the lasl and was the sponsor in Great Britain ■)f many great schemes of development throughout the Dominion "It, Is not an idle task in this hour to speak of the interest which Lord 3trathconn look lu lhe work or advancing education, In the construction of highways and in the largest sphere In the building of railways in this country, more especially through the prairie provinces. Lord Strathcona confined his activities to no one particular section pf this great Dominion und to no one 'branch of its development, He was one of the leaders connected with the construction of the Canadian Pacific railway across our continent and great credit is due to lim for having pressed forward the ",reat undertaking until It finally st'etched from ocean to ocean. "When we consider all these things !n the great perspective of history otic ■ ■aniiot for a moment doubt the unflinching courage, tho splendid faith und the unbounded optimism thai this man had in the Dominion of Canada, the country he loved so well, ii if- true that in his latter days he luimssefl considerable wealth; it is equally true. however, that lie never forgot the responsibilities which the acctt mulatto., •if this wealth Imposed upon htm. and tic regarded it as a solemn duty to io order his going that at least, some part of that wealth should he distributed for tbe betterment of his fellow- iitn. Hla contribution to charity as- turned splendid and munificent proportions and no worthy charity was ever brought, to his attention that did not receive a quick and generous re- spouse.

Steelite Explosives (Canada) Ltd. McCulloch Block Nelson, B. C. "Lord Strathcona took a deep and special interest in the affairs of Hritish Columbia and a pride l» the advancement of the province, and many times he went out of his way to show eome special mark of favor toward this section of the Dominion of Canada. I do not wish to insinuate that lie neglected any portion of (he country, hut he always felt that, being so fur removed from the central government, as we were that h*1 should devote special attention to the business of this province. , "We In this province have always appreciated his great labors-on our behalf and In a humble way by naming the provincial nark ou Vancouver island Strathcona park we have tried to make some small recognition of the many favors he has showered on us. "I would add a word on behalf of the agent general, who both in his letter and in his conversation with tne has frequently impressed upon me the knowledge of the interest Which the high commissioner always took in the work of the agent, general's office." In seconding the resolution Parker Williams, member for Newcastle, said: "An old man has passed away and I'rom the brief attention I have paid to his history I learn that be was born of tho multitude and of democracy, which perhaps was the basis of that, strength which carried him to Uio wonderful age of 94. He was a man of immense energy, of a sober cast of mind nnd so. we must conclude, or careful habits, because char- acterd in the last analysis is merely the structure that Is built up on habits and experience. "The I'ates were kind to Lord Strathcona. Wealth and all that, wealth can bring were his. together with an abundance or honors. But In addition to these things he enjoyed what Is perhaps the greatest prize that any man can have, especially a man of his extreme age, iu that to the last his faculties appeared to have remained unimpaired. And again the fates were kind when the final summons came. Sleep hid from ills vision the dread reaper whose advent men so much fear. "Wealth and position were his in the highest degree. Lord Strathcona possessed much that was not attributable to these material sources and for that reason we are glad Of the opportunity of paying tribute to his memory." Tlie resolution was passed in silence and the" premier moved the adjourn ment of the house.

Hesldoa that his many benefactions for jjreitt Imperial purposes are known to all men so that I do not need to do more than allude to them today*. I consider that it would be a fitting tribute to, respect of his memory that ibis house should stand adjourned until tomorrow, and I now move, seconded by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, that the, house do so stand adjourned. "But before doing so, I should like to read to the house a message which has been received by high royal highness the governor-Sonera I from the [secretary of state for the colonics, Right Hon. Lewis Ilareoiirt. It states: Message From England " *I desire on the part of his majesty's government to convey to your royal highness, to the government and tbo people of Canada an expression of deep sympathy in the loss which the Dominion has sustained by the death of Lord Strathcona, high commissioner for Canada in London for the past 17 years, the sympathy of his many friends in the empire. His name has been for many years a household word among us, embodying to all the though of Canada and her marvelous progress as well as of his own notable career, distinguished by large public usefulness and magnificent liberality, and his memory Is assured of an honored and abiding place In the annals of tho Dominion to which ho devoted bis faithful service to the end.' "In conclusion, I am sure that I may, on behalf of Canada, of all the members of this bouse and of all the people of this country, convey to his daughter, and to all members of his family, the assurance of our deepest sympathy."

LONDON, .Ian. 22.—Th« belief that today's cabinet council will be a erltl cal one inasmuch as it will deal with the final decision as to the naval estii mates, is the predominant feature li this morning's papers. The L'nioni.sl journals make varying estimates of the alleged division in the cabinet as between Air. Churchill and Lloyd George, some of them estimating an equality witli the premier neutral. The Radical j.apers ridicule the Idea of these ever being conflict in the cabinet, pointing out thai any contest between the first lord of the admiralty and the chancellor of the exchequer is merely the usual tussel between a minister who Is at the head of a. spending department and lie who has control ot lhe jjnr.se strings. The cabinet's discussion oyer tlie naval estimates will probably lake two days at least, but a full attendance of ail the ministers Is assured. The Standard (Conservative) e.\- pects the cabinet lo patch up an arrangement which will postpone the naval difficulty, thoiieh it. points out that the. only result of this will be to throw the Ulster question into greatei relief and it emphasizes Air. Churchill's supposed pro-Ulster attitude. Tho Telegraph says ihat the demands of tiie admiralty have been reduced to the lowest jios-slblu limit. The Chronicle (Liberal) declares that while there Is no doubt that thc naval demands have created a considerable financial difficulty, there is no reason lo believe that all-agreement cannot be arrived at, which, while providing for tho vital needs of the country, will abstain from a provocation of the ar maments race and will eschew unuec essiiry expenditure. tbe war chi nine workers ex ' work amo ring 1!)13. at iddltion the in Mlehlga: calities wei the il ,expi idltu fo all tended $1,1.21,- ig its striking cording l„ .Mr. striking cop- i ami strikers e aided fron il miners.

Consols bound- ed up to 73 15-16, and gilt-edged securities sympathized with moderate demands for investment despite the new Issues announced during the day. Dominion of Canada loan scrip was quoted at 2% premium. The death of Lord Strathcona had a depressing effect upon C. P. R., but afterward the stock strengthened on inside support and closed1 firm nt 219%. Dealers here do not believe that Lord Strathcona's holdings are liable to bo marketed. There were but fractional changes In G. T. R., and trading was mixed. Land, shares were quiet, but Canadian industrials and South American tractions were strong In Bpots. The chief new Issue of the day was one for $7,500,000 by thc Pacific Great Eastern railway. The Issue is of 4% per cent debentures guaranteed by the British Columbia government. They havo been underwritten at 95, with a commission of 1% percent, A 4% per cent loan for $4,500,000 by the city of Gothenburg, Sweden, was underwritten at 98%, and a big block of Argentine treasury bills have been placed on the bill market, Call money was quoted at 2 per cent., and bill rates again declined, three months' paper being negotiated at 3 per cent. The money market Is uncertain as to whether the bank ra,te will be reduced from 4 to 3% per cent tomorrow. Sir Felix Schuster, presiding at an annual meeting, said that the abundant harvest In western Canada had largely offse't the monetary stringency bred of a too rapid expansion. The difficulties were recognized, the banks wero cautious, but though the pace was slacker und a continuance of brisk development seemed assured. Cables from Johannesburg state that thc labor leaders are secretly trying to precipitate another general strike, but that the government has thorough control of the situation. The prospect of a long continued struggle between organized labor and Hit South African government Is, however, depressing to operators. ed some sigi'j of haltlng"on Tuesday, was resumed today and substantial gnins were shown 'by the majority of i active issues.

WANT AD HOROSCOPE JANUARY 22 <•> Discuss Socialism, A discussion of Socialism followed a resolution caning"for the laying aside or 2 cents per mart per month for the support of the Socialist party, flic resolutions committee declared the matter "fljas covered by the constitution, -which provided for funds for educational work and which called also for support of the Soclalfst party H. A. Stewart of RosBland asked if support of the Socialist party were the only political action taken by the district, was not the present convention for the purpose of political action, for securing favorable legislation for the .benefit of the miners of British Columbia? Legislation for the working clasB waa just as good, no matter what party It was brought In by, he said. Frank Campbell of Trail said the Socialist' representatives at Victoria were the only men who had put legislation on the statute hooks for the benefit of the working class. Thc constitution was not definite enough; ho wanted district No. 6 to come out In the open and support the Socialist party. George Fleming agreed that tlie constitution did not cover the Trail resolution. He favored the proposed appropriation. A. H. McPherson said he was not a Socialist and objected to any political party receiving funds from the district. Socialism had been a bone of contention ln the district and better work could be done if politics were left alone and the district were placed in the position of heing able to appeal to parliament simply as a body of unionists'. William Lakeland quoted the constitution to prove that it covered the resolution. Marcus Martin supported the resolution, The stage had been reached hen it was necessary for the organized working class to, come out flat- footed and say where it stood. It should support any political party that offered to give what the working class required. He described the idea of keeping politics out of union affairs ;is threadbare. The working class was always running up against the political machine and bashing its head, he said; politics could not be kept out of. He blamed the Liberal party for the Lemieux act and credited the Socialist party with having placed a compensation law on the hooks. He Instanced Granby Bay and tbe refusal of the Granby company to allow an organizer on its property and the result of the McCormick case as proof that the district should concern itselt with polities. "We are an industrial body, but unless we join for political action we shall be as useless as a sixth wheel on a wagon," he said. A. A. Taylor said that the object of the provision in the constitution was for educating men to think and ha could not Bee that any party had done as much good for the working class as the Socialists. He would like to see a law which had been put on the books by tho Liberals or Conservatives that was not for their own advantage. The time had come when the constitution should define clearly what educational purposes meant. Education should be directed to teaching men to think clearly and rationally and to express their thoughts by the ballot. Mr. Stewart said that any movement for the benefit of the working- class wus Socialistic. It would take a long time to evolve Socialism, probably 50 years, and he thought direct political action, to secure desirable legislation from the existing governments, was the solution of the problem. Capital ruled in the United States and ft would soon in Canada If direct political a'ctlon were not taken. Nothing much could bo accomplished in securing support for Socialism unless it could be shown that Socialism would bring results. The people wanted to know what Social- Ism would he and how it would come Into existence. Socialism would come through evolution and that would bo through political action under the present system. If the working men cared to do so they could have working men nominated as Conservative and Liberal candidates. If the members of parliament were working men what did it matter if they were Liberals or Conservatives? It was useless to attempt to force Socialism on any one, it had to come by education. He believed in Socialism, but he was opposed to the methods of the party representatives who had aroused prejudice. If Socialism were understood everyone would, support it, but it could not be forced on anyone. "Go after tho parties in power and show them that we want legislation; go to the nominating conventions and select your candidates," he declared. Mr. Martin said Socialism would come when the working class supported it He was not opposed' to securing (Continued on page FOR RENT FOR RENT—Well furnished house- keeping rooms, clean, close in, 507 Silica street, quiet place. * FOR RENT—Furnished rooms, ueen Cigar Store.

The case Is well known and ' should like to bring- it before this Bociety.

Chew Food Thoroughly In these days of soft, mushy foods and quick meals, insufficient mastication of food is often responsible for stomach trouble, headache, biliousness, constipation, dull brains, and various other ills. . ' Generally these troublesome results can be avoided or corrected by having a regular daily ration of ■■ Grape-Nuts FOOD The firm, crisp granules, with cream on the side, invite thorough chewing which is of double advantage. It promotes a sure mixture of the food with the saliva—tlie first step in digestion. It also tends to normal development and preservation of the teeth. Grape-Nuts food is made of whole wheat and malted barley: It contains all the rich nutriment of the grains, including the natural Phosphate of Potash so essential for strength of body and keenness of brain. Grape-Nuts comes ready to eat direct from the package—has a delicious taste—and is easily digested. Eat slowly—chew your food thoroughlyl "There's a Reason" for Grape-Nuts —sold by grocers everywhere. Mad,» hy Canudlan Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., Windsor, Ont. MINERS DESIRE NEW LEGISLATION (Continued from page nix.) all that could be obtained through Liberals and Conservatives, n* it were possible to nominate a labor man as Conservative or Liberal candidate he would like to see it done and then tn watch the results. The public was opposed, prejudiced and very bitter against any movement that had ever been advanced by the working men for their own good, he declared. W. 13. MctBaac contended the speakers were out of order; the resolution did not call for a political discussion, Iio said. !). Hi Vignaux thought the best should be made of preseni conditions and lie could not see that it. was not possible for a working man to be nominated as a Conservative or Liberal He had seen as good labor men be longing to one party a.s to the other The object should Pe to educate the working party. W. H. Ferguson moved thnt tiie con vention support the Socialist party. Q. Work said he would not vote fo; a man because he was a Socialist, nr a Liberal, or a Conservative, because he had known rascals in all three parties. He anew much good legislation which bud come from both old politieal parties. The party in power which had passed the Washington Workman's Compensation act was overwhelmingly Republican. In the United States every act, for the benefit of the working classes had been passed by the old political parties. Labor unions were just as much combines ns tlie trusts, yet President Wil son had exempted ihem from the Sherman anil-trust act. He referred to other legislation and said that he w not defending any party, but wished to ."We, credit where it was due. He did not say that Socialism was wrong hut he believed good could come also from the other parties. The moving of the previous question ended the discussion. From Hie Moyle union was received a vote of thanks to other unions for the assistance rendered .lames Roberts. The committee named 'o audit the nceounts In this connection held by Frank Phillips reported that they were correct. A resolution endorsing the Socialist party as being the only party representing tlie working class and endorsing the actions of tlie Socialist members in the li-gisluture was passed. Condemns Government. Speaking to the resolution condemning the government for its actions in the Nanaimo strike Mr, Stewart said that, while every working man iu the province was in accord with the resolution, what was needed, was legislation to prevent, a recurrence of such action. Mr. Campbell said Hie more the government were hit on that one spot tha more tender that spot would gel. The miners on Vancouver island had beeu treated worse than Turks; they were all British subjects.uml all they had asked hud been industrial freedom, industrial justice. They were fighting the greatest fight that had been fought in the hlstouy of Canada, lie declared. A resolution thanking the United Mine Workers of America for assistance rendered the striking miners in Michigan was passed. Condemns Lemieux Act. Tlie Lemieux act was generally condemned. Mr. Stewart thought something should be offered In the place of the act and suggested that a resolution of a constructive nature be forwarded from the district to the British Columbia federation. Mr. Mclsaac remarked that the Lemieux act had never proved satisfactory to labor. "Don't lose the right to strike" was tlie burden of a speech hy Mr. Campbell, who favored lhe removal of the Lemieux act from tlie statutes. In district 18 W. L. Phillips declared the act was called the "Lemon act," It hud been designed by the capitalist class lo fetter the labor class. Experience in tli0 west was that the act had worked against the advancement of labor. The Lemieux act hud been recommended in England by Sir George Askwitli because the employers needed an act to enable them tn continue their tyranny. He condemned lhe act as lending to crush initiative on the Part ol' labor. Mr. Stewart moved as an amendment to a motion to adopt the resolution that the Hritish Columbia federation be asked to work for the repeal of tbe act. Mr. Vignaux seconded the amendment. The motion as amended curried. Sunday Labor. Regarding claims for compensation for workmen Injured while employed on Sunday Mr. Canipbell'said that the Lord's Day act did not cover mines and smelters and that consequently compensation could be collected by miners and smeltermen injured on Sunday. The decision referred to covered a ease where the employer of lhe injured man had no right to have him working. Glen Marshall thought the interests of the workers as a whole should be considered. Mr. Stewart, F. W, Perrin and Percy •V. Johnston also contributed to the discussion. William Phillips understood the companies could refuse to nay compensation for persons injured on Sunday. W. L. Phillips said district 18 had used the judgment as ;i reason why meu should not work on Sunday except on special occasiops. Mr. Vignnux said many miners In Isolated ph'ces were very glad to work on Sunday, another point was that many miners needed the money. ,If a man worked on Sunday, no matter under what condition, he should receive compensation if injured. Mr. Fleming did not see how a man could refuse to work If a company Instructed him to do so. Mr. Marcus took a similar view. lie favored the resolution. . Mr. Perrin opposed the principle of the Lord's Day net. One hundred dollars was donnted to the Michlgnn strikers on motion of Frank Phillips and Frank Campbell. Payment was left lo the incoming executive. Discussing u resolution from Kim berley calling for the appointment of a delegate to the Dominion trades and labor congress, Mr. Murphy expressed the opposition of Silverton to the proposal and seconded a resolution hv Percy W. Johnston turning down the resolution on account of the financial aBpect of the case. Favor First Aid. Speaking of the resolution regard ing first aid instruction Mr. Taylor re ferred to accident's from gas and similar eases where valuable assistance could be given If someone at hand understood first aid, Mr. Stewart thought mining com- naules should be compelled by law to keep pnlmotors on hand for use In case of accidents from gas Dangers of the use of medical appliances ln the hands of unskilled per sons were referred to by Mr. Martin. Mr. Taylor replied that ho thought from a humane point of view there was little to be feared and that much good would he done. Frank Phillips also spoke of the value of having at least one first aid man at each mine. He spoke of an occasion when a seriously injured man had been 18 hours on the way between a mine and a, hospitnl. He thought miners would welcome first aid instruction. Legislation was not necessary, but he thought the government would send instructors to the mines. At tlie Hunker Hill & Sullivan mine the men were paid while practicing the use of the pulmotor and similar apparatus, said Mr. Stewart. Mr. Murphy spoke of an occasion where he saved the life of William Davidson by employing first aid. He referred to the provincial labor com mission before which Mr. Phillips and Mr. Mclsaac advocated first aid in structlon. Mr. Campbell nnd Mr Johnston supported the proposal. Shift bosses and foremen were usually first called to an accident nnd therefore should be qualified, It was explained by Frank Phillips, and Mr. Taylor urged that someone in authority should direct first aid operations. Every mine;- should understand first aid, declared Mr. Phillips. Cilen .Marshall thought, that, the resolution should make no reference to shift bosses or foremen. Value in Coal Mines. Tn coal mining shift bosses had to hold certificates, said W. L. Phillips, who considered the matter of the utmost Importance. Fatalities In coal milling would have heen 50 per cent higher at Coal Creek If It were not for the pulmotor and other first aid devices, he said. William Phillips suggested that the resolution should read that legislation be passed to compel companies to have a committee at each mine qii; Ned In first aid. Tlie resolution was referred back lo tho resolution committee, the framers uf the resolution, William Phillips, W L. Phillips and II. Stewart, to he re drawn. Officers by Referendum. It was reported that a referendum vote had decided that while the officers should be elected hy a referen dum vote, they need not he nominated by at least four locals and that tin president should not act as organizer during his term. It was decided that the convention should nominate candidates'for ihe ex ecutlve and that the names should then be submitted to referendum vole. There was a bug discussion on a proposal from Rossland that the question as to whether l{_ lawyer resident in the district instead of at Ferule should he secured by the organlzatlor .should be put to a referendum vote. It was decided to leave the matter to the incoming executive, with instructions to obtain terms from us many lawyers as will tender, the choice of counsel for the year being put up to a referendum vote. Thut a $'o a day minimum and a compensation act. on the same lines as that of the stale of Washington would ho recommended by the labor coin- mission was the belief expressed hv Mr. Campbell during a discussion.

CHOIR PREPARES FOR CHAHKO MIKA Nelson Select Male Voice Choir Rt- Organizes—Club Rooms to Be Secured—Socials Planned *Wlth thc 1914 Chnhko Mika carnival in view, an event which, it is urgeu\ will call for the assistance of every local* organization having the Interests of the elty of Nelson at heart, and which will vie wilh each other in presenting tlic best drawing card, tbe members of the Nelson Mule Voice choir have already set themselves the task of preparing a musical program that will delight the many visitors during the carnival week, At specially enlivened meetings, held In the studio of p. Warner-Smith, large numbers attended with a view lo reorganizing the choir and to.prepare a new set of rules. After careful deliberation and with lhe unanimous vote of the members present, the choir .ideated the title of the Nelson Select Male Voice choir. During the four years of the existence of the choir it bas always been found somewhat difficult to get the various parts well balanced, and the idea now Is to make up the choir of active, associate and honorary members, and In addition it will now only be possible to gain admlf.- sion to the membership of tbe choir by first undergoing a voice test ex- nmlnation and afterward by ballot. The intention of the committee ls not so much to have numbers as to Have quality and with this end in view, the associate members, so soon as they become proficient will be drafted Into the active or concert membership of the choir. R. C. Teviotdale, the secretary-treasurer of the choir, states that great enthusiasm Is being displayed by tho menfbers in the hope of taking part in the Chahko Mika program and be also desires encouragement to the music-loving men of Nelson to apply for membership and get .tiie advantages of. choral tuition. A practice and club room are being arranged for, where not only practices may be engaged in, but where members may also meet. It is Intended to provide lectures and literature so as to encourage a keener interest in tho study of music. The rooms are to be secured also with a view of holding musical socials from time to time. Mr. Teviotdale is convinced that Nelson stands second to ht'i other (My in the Dominion, taking ;ts population Into nccount, In regard to its musical talent, and he argues that no better attraction can be provided either for its citizens or to its visitors during the carnival week than to promote the erection of a. concert hall where not only the Nelson Select Male A7ofce i-lioir, but many other vocal and musical attractions from outside centres will go to make up one of the most pleasing and satisfying events of the Chahko Mlkai The following officers and tee have been selected for session: President—AY.
