Vol. I. NEW WESTMINSTER, B. C, FRIDAY, Aug. 18, 1916. Number 24 THE OSTRICH ACT. With what silly and shallow drivel do the Bowser papers throughout the country impose upon the good sense and good nature of the reading public in all their references to the serious and vital issues necessarily raised by the Liberal leader in his writ against Attorney-General Bowser ! Here is an example from one of the most faithful echoes of Government- "arguments," the Nelson News: "The Brewster writ would make the courts, instead of the people, the supreme arbiter in the affairs of British Columbia." This is another instance of "putting our head in the sand," Such as Mr. Justice Morrison rebuked the Attorney-General's attorney for, when the matter came up in the courts, the week before last, at Victoria. The Nelson News and the whole tribe of quibbling apologists for the Government know perfectly well that the courts necessarily are the "supreme arbiters" when it comes to interpreting and passing upon the constitutionality or legality of aets of the Legislature or Government. It is also perfectly well known by the tricky side-steppers, with Premier and Attorney- General Bowser at their head, that Mr. Brewster did not create any difficulty by the issue of his writ that was created by the incompetent and crooked muddling of the Bowser Government, which has undermined the whole basis of constitutional government in the Province. Mr. Brewster has merely recognized the diseased and dangerous condition, and has courageously and patriotically taken the necessary steps to have the matter probed and the remedy applied before the evil has gone any farther, instead of doing the ostrich act with the maker of the mischief, who, paraphrasing the rebuke of the Court, is putting his head in the sand and pretending to, know nothing whatever about it. Syc-h tactics have resulted in deferring for ar short time the clearing up of the whole matter and the resolving of the doubt which the Government's actions have cast upon the validity of most of the legislation of last, session and also upon the constitution of the Legislature about to be elected; but these matters, to quote once more the Justice of the Supreme Court before whom Mr. Brewster's preliminary motion came, will "have to be thrashed out" and carried to a final and authoritative decision. The reason is obvious. v Otherwise, the doubt, caused not by Mr. Brewster's writ, but by Mr. Bowser's dereliction, would continue to hang over Provincial legislation and the Provincial Legislature, which would be open to attack through the courts at anv time by any interest that might consider itself adversely affected by any legislative enactment. Then there is the Qther feature of the writ, on which a decision is no less urgently demanded���whether this or any Government can with impunity pay out million's of the public moneys, or any sum, contrary to the expressed will of the Legislature���in violation of statute law. Truly, as the Court has declared, these questions will have to be thrashed out, "Jt ia due to the people that they should be thrashed out." .-.��*- BOWSER THE BLUFFER. Premier BoSvser is a magnificent bluffer���you've got to hand it to him for that! At hia meeting, last week, at Fernie where, by the way, even according to the Conservative Vancouver Province report, Mr. Bowser was most unmercifully heckled--he replied to one of his tormentors, who gave him unasked the cheerful advance information that he was going to be beaten in Vancouver : "Well, I am not trying to run a safe seat, as Mr. Brewster is. I have a majority of four thousand to pull down in Vancouver, but that is the only seat I am going to seek the support of the public in. * * * If I am beaten Iri Vancouver, I propose to go down with Mags Hying." Bravo, Bowser ! Just what sort of a show Premier Bowser has of being elected in Vancouver (or anywhere else in the Province, for that matter), may be imagined from the reception his Ministerial candidate, Tisdall, got in the by-election, last February, backed as he was by all the Bowserian eloquence, influence, and peculiar campaign methods of which the Premier is master, focussed on one constituency. Add to that the scathing exposure which the Bowser Government and party have had since: By the Opposition in the Legislature; in connection with the Government manipulated "plugging" scandal, which is coming to the home roost more balefully every day; not to mention the sordid stew of Government patronage and jobbery uncovered in the more recent Vancouver School Board inquisition; and giving due consideration, finally, to the fact that two prominent Conservatives of Vancouver Robert Cassidy, K. C, and ex-Mayor Townley have practically repudiated Bowserism by seeking the suffrages of the electors of Vancouver as an ti-Bowser Conservative candidates ! Why, Premier Bowser, or any of the Bowser ticket, has about as much chance of election in Vancouver-as th;; proverbial snowball has of preserving its Identity for ten minutes in well ! The hottest place that one can imagine. Magnificent bltilier! Yes, that's what we s:Jd. But, when all's said and done, Premier Bowser might EXPLOITING PATRIOTISM. If good old Samuel Johnson had lived in these stirring times, he would have been able to utter with added emphasis his famous dictum that "patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels." It is positively disgraceful, nauseating and insulting the way -self-confessed Johnsonian "scoundrels" of a certain political stripe are advertising at once their own shamelessness and conscious poverity of any merit or standing with the people by prostituting the sacred name of patriotism to the paltry and miserable business of trying to stimulate and deodorize a political cause and party so inherently weak and rotten that it must needs be supported and disinfected by such means. This unblushing "patriotism" exploitation, it will not have been forgotten, was begun in the late session of the Legislature, when impudent and insulting insinuations were thrown out that enlisting for service at the front followed party lines in the Province, and, as the election grows dangerously nearer, and Government realization of impending defeat on their merits becomes excruciatingly keener, the dirty and contemptible work is speeded up, even to the length of whin- ning editorial and display articles in the party press, pointing out that five out of forty-five Bowser candidates are wearing the khaki, as a reason why the Bowser candidates generally ought to be elected and the Bowser Government returned again to power ! All honor to the wearers of the khaki whose sincerity, devotion, and singlemindedness does honor to the uniform- -and of the vast majority. Liberals or Conservatives, though it is an insult to introduce the political division at all, this may be said���but the vile exploitation being practiced by si discredited political party suggests, and there are circumstances which add color to it, that some at- least of the much be-advertised khaki-clad candidates, whose "firing line" has been solely political so far, are at least consenting parties to and hope to be political beneficiaries of that contemptible prostitution of patriotism that has become so rampant and rank in Provincial so-called Conservative circles of late. JEKYLL AND HYDE. Attorney-General Bowser has the habit of trying to serve two masters���himself and the public���so strongly ingrained in his disposition and character that he simply can't help it. He is Attorney-General (attorney for the people) and also head of the Government (whose business is supposed to be solely concerned with the people's interests), and yet, as head of his private legal firm, he is the paid agent of such railway concerns as the C. N. R. and P. G. E., whom, as has been shown, he has served far better than the people ���at the people's expense! ��� having actually robbed the people of millions, contrary to law, for the benefit of these private clients. # Among his other clients of the sort, too numerous to enumerate here, was the late Dominion Trust, which, "by and with the advice and consent" of the Attorney-General of the Province, in his dual capacity, was enabled to "do" the thousands of unfortunate victims in this Province and elsewhere, who excusably supposed that a "Trust" company, and one moieover ostentatiously advertised as 0 K'd by the Provincial Government, was a concern to be "trusted." The same Government 0 K'd the piratical exploitations of the Vancouver Island collieries by Mackenzie & Mann, which robbed the British investor of millions, gave the Province a bad name from which it will not recover for years, was chiefly responsible for the serious coal strike of a few years ago on the Island, and has not d little to do with the continued high price of coal. It will surprise no one, therefore, to learn that Premier and Attorney-General Bowser has been caught at the same double game again -this time as a director of the Wallace Shipyards. Ltd., Vancouver, under charter to obtain Government assistance in shipbuilding. When found out, Mr. Bowser hastened to "resign in view of the elections saying he had quite forgotten he was a director ! No apologies, necessary, Mr. Bowser; people know by this time you can't help it, and they intend to give you permanent leave of absence to attend strictly to your own business and that of your private clients ���to rounding out the handsome fortune which you more than laid the foundation of by playing the exceedingly profitable double role of a po- litical Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. just as well bluff it out in Vancouver as. anywhere else. It's the obvious thing for him to do. By running in only one constituency, he saves losing a second election deposit. And he throws himself theatrically on the mere;- of one constituency. But it will not avail. Premier Bowser is too old and hardened and monumental a political offender to be let off from his just dues on any sentimental grounds. Political morality alone the highest and best interests of the Pr wince for all time, and the effect on other Provinces ���demands that he should get all that is coming to him at this time, and get it in an exemplary manner. Like Richard III. on Bosworth Field, Premier Bowser is riding to his final fall���and, like Richard III., he knows it, HERE AND THERE. ' The Bowser Government candidate who is trying to save Fernie to the party after a term or two of Hon. R. W. Ross, driven out to seek a political home elsewhere, is appropriately enough named Uphill. But he hasn't got any steeper job than has the evicted Minister of Lands in trying to persuade Prince (Fort) George to permanently adopt him, with the assistance of an accommodating vote-splitter���Gillet. Great is the power of the press. The B.C.E.R. Co. is paying sincere tribute to that fact bj�� issuing a four- page weekly midget, called "The Buzzer," of its own, distributed by means of "Take One" holders in the cars. It is, of course, devoted to B.C.E.R. matters (the number before us particularly boosts the Vancouver exhibition) and, incidentally, it may be presumed, will favorably present the point of view of the company in any debatable questions that may arise as between that corporation and the people. Counsel for the German Government in the case of the prize ship Appam, which was awarded to her British owners by a recent decision of Judge Waddill in the United States District Court, have filed formal petition for appeal to the Supreme Court, which was allowed. A supersedeas bond for $2,000,000 required by thjs court was given, signed by Lieut. Hans Berg, the prize master who brought the vessel in, and L. M. von Schilling, German consul. It was furnished by five American bonding companies, who divided a premium of $20,000. Some confirmation of the Winnipeg report of last- week that a Dominion general election at a not very distant date is in contemplation is contained in an Ottawa despatch of Monday last, which says: "Sir Robert Borden has definitely abandoned his trip to England this year," and adds: "With his trip to Great Britain off, Sir Robert plans to visit Western Canada." The last week in September is given as the probable date of the trip, and it is said he will address "one or two big patriotic meetings in each of the four Western Provinces." The devotion of W. P. Macken, Bowser Conservative candidate for Chilliwack, to a fallen and rather unworthy idol is beautiful���if nothing else. In the excess of his touching and mistaken hero-worship, the Chilliwack standard-bearer in an evidently realized lost cause, said, in a speech, the other day, as reported by the Progress (after a climax of panegyrics): "He would rather go down to defeat a hundred times following Mr. Bowser than win without him." Never mind the hundred times, Mr. Macken, once will do���- and it will also "do for" Bowser. Following his severe condemnation by the Meredith- Duff fuse inquiry commission, Col. John Wesley Allison has had his "halo" taken away from him--the complimentary title of "Colonel," to wit, conferred upon him by his worshipful admirer, Sir Sam Hughes, to whom.the gallant manipulator of war contracts owed the enviable strategic status that enabled him to command such fat commissions and rake-offs. It must have broken Sir Sam's heart to have been compelled to send the Ministerial scapegoat away into the wilderness, bearing not only the sins of the Shell Committee, but denuded of his military nimbus. We thought we were reading a patent medicine adv. in the Columbian, the other day, but it turned out to be a thinly disguised hymn of praise of the Provincial Government, on the seductively sedative subject, "Promoting Agriculture." Made one think of lying down under a tree in the good old summer time, long ago, and listening to the drowzy lullaby of a buzzing bumble-bee, until one fell asleep and dreamed that we were living undej a beautifully paternal and benevolent Government, every member of which wore a halo, in a sort of glorified fairyland known as Colony Farm, where there were nice things called Agricultural Credits, with the store tickets where they were stolen still attached, and Pure Bred Stock, that somehow had strayed back from Price Ellison's corral. And long vistas of Dry Farming���very dry, and Irrigation -not too wet, and Railways hauling Produce to Market through Fertile Valleys. And ��� but then we awoke ! And it was all a dream and a pipe dream at that! And the bee still buzzing in the Columbian bonnet. Same old "hard times,"and high cost of living. Same old sending of twenty or thirty million dollars a year outside of the Province for "promoting agriculture" elsewhere. Same old Bowser Government, with halos all awry, and very haggard ��� going to execution ! Which, somehow, for the people, was the one cheerful and hopeful note in the whole scenario.

Advertising rates on application A CONFIDENTIAL TALK. With this month. The Pacific Canadian will complete the sixth month of its publication. As announced in its salutatory, early in March last, it entered the journalistic lists to supply a needed corrective to the pernicious one-sidedness that had too long obtained, in this part of the Province particularly, in the discussion of public issues of a political nature especially, which had culminated, as was pointed out, in the scandal and menace of an absdlutely one-sided Legislature, made subservient at will by an unscrupulous and power-besotted Government to subvert the people's rights and liberties and betray their interests. The immediate task to hand, as we stated, in which this paper hoped to be able to assist, however humbly, was "the work of political regeneration so well begun" in the Province through the by-elections which had then but lately been held, but which work, as we noted at the time, "is yet to be finished in the general elections," the date of which it was impossible to predict at that time. A further, carrying-on work in the process of political regeneration, that we suggested the necessity of, was the cure of the "deep seated causes, * * * if we would avoid the recurrence of such abnormal excrescences on the body politic" as the Legislature and Government referred to, "and generally cleanse and clarify the fountains and currents of our political and civic life." This was and is, admittedly, a pretty large order. and. without arrogating any exclusive mission or commission in this respect, or affecting the possibility of doing more than our "bit," The Pacific Canadian��� with the limitations imposed by the "hard times" and local business conditions, which have precluded adequate support for a second newspaper enterprise, even in its incipient, stages���has endeavored to fulfil the promise of its commencement, and will be able, at the least, to carry to completion its share of the first specific work it set about to assist, culminating in the Provincial general election, set for the 14th of September, one day less than four weeks hence. There will be no little satisfaction and compensation in that -to have been able to round out the first stage and to be "in at the death" and be privileged to assist in writing the epitaph of the old, obsolete, and un lamented order of persons and things political, which in passing will clear the way for the new order, mark the opening of the new era, for which the Province has been looking hopefully and longingly for some time. While a great and pregnant victory will thus have been achieved, eternal vigilance will continue to be the price of liberty. The defeated hosts of reaction and private greed as opposed to the public good, which are ubiquitous ,in some embodiment, may be expected to prepare for the counter attack, and, if the forces of progress, freedom and reform should relax, instead of consolidating their gaini, the contest would soon have to be fought all over again. In this continued fight for freedom, progress, and good government���and the Provincial is not the only field; there are both the smaller and the larger spheres an untrammelled and independent press is a prime essential. Strangle or corrupt the press, and the people are soon enslaved, first blinded, and then despoiled, as has been witnessed in this and other fields, if a press is not actually corrupt, it is a serious menace to thi! public weal to have only a one-sided press. The remedy is with the people themselves, who, by taking thought, can support and maintain the press they want, and make it what they will, to maintain their interests, instead of a press whose too often thinly disguised motive and mission is to make the people's interests and through the people themselves subservient to private, corporate, or party gain. tal exports, however, only 38 per cent, went to the United States, and 59 per cent, to the United Kingdom." The first sentence in this quotation evidently should have read: "Canada continues to be the United States' best customer.'' We are not finding fault with Canada, under a Conservative Government, doing three-quarters of her buying in the United States, and only one-seventh in the Mother Country, while the situation is measurably reversed when it comes to selling our goods. We are merely calling attention to the manifest brazen hypocrisy and dishonesty of the "no truck or trade with the Yankees" election cry on which our Conservative friends at Ottawa largely won the last election. After four or five years of power, we have the result���75 per cent, truck or trade with the Yankees; 14 per cent, with Great Britain ! The jug-handled trade situation with the United States, the Liberals proposed to( correct, by enabling Canadians to sell something there. But, no, that was traitorousness to the protected Canadian jobber and miller. The Liberals, who gave the "British preference," against Conservative opposition, proposed to increase it, to enable the Mother Country to sell us more. But, no. that was high treason! to the protected Canadian manufacturer. The degenerate political congeners in British Columbia of those high-minded Ottawa patriots and no one denies that the latter, at any rate, possess a real patriotism, apart from their contemptible resort to the counterfeit -are not scrupling, even in war time, to befoul "the old flag" and the sacred name of patriotism by prostituting both to base partisan ends. We have seen the essential shallowness, meanness, and hypocrisy of such tactics exposed in the revealing light of events. Let us not forget! LEST WE FORGET. As illustrating the inherent insincerity and humbug of all flag-waving, patriotism-exploiting arguments, to which a certain political party is particularly prone, it is interesting to recall, just now, the "No truck or trade with the Yankees" catch-cry which was made to do such good-service by the trade restriction- ists in the last Dominion general election. Recent trade returns issued at Ottawa, giving Canada's aggregate trade for the twelve months ending May of this year, show, of course, abnormal increases, in exports principally, to Great Britain and France chiefly, on account of the war. But, making all due allowance for abnormal war conditions, this concluding paragraph of the Ottawa trade statement is, at least, significant: "The United States continues to be Canada's best customer. Of the Dominion's total imports, 71 per cent, came from across the border, and only 14 per cent from the United Kingdom.

Phone 219 It was the Germans, says the London Daily Telegraph, who really discovered the possibilities of the British Empire, and down to the eve of the war were using them for their own ends. "They had obtained control of practically all its base metals; they were getting a firm grip on its coal and oil; they were influencing its financial policy and its politics. German agents, it is now known, were the agents of the Imperial Government, which subsidised and encouraged their activities and was not above consulting them in moulding the fiscal and commercial policy of the Empire. These conditions, inimical to the health, safety and independence of the British peoples, ought not to be renewed when the war closes."

Shops Regulation By-law Still a Very Live Subject-And There are Others Which Cause Aldermen to Lose Sleep There were no vacant seats at the municipal "round table" when the city Solons assembled, last Monday night, to wrestle with the accumulated problems of a week in civic government. And there me were some problems "believe 1" as the boys would say. Bauqno's ghost never bobbed up more persistently and disquietingly than the Early Closing or Shops Regulation By-law, involved inextricably at some troublesome points with the Saturday Half Holiday Act. Then there was the "special survey" of the city "horrible muddle," as one Alderman termed it; a double-barrelled Coquitlam dam, timber reserve logging, conundrum; another case of illicit aud surreptitious fire service water connection; and a peremptorily threatened lawsuit, which is to be defended. And there were others. Communications. To begin at the beginning, after the formal adoption of the minutes, the following formidable list of communications was read hy Acting City Clerk Thomas, and dealt with seriatim: From the City Solicitors, inclosing copy of judgment of Railway Connnis sion ordering the 6. N. R. Co. to build a steel bridge 24 feet wide, with six foot sidewalks, on each side, on the North road. Received aud filed for reference. From Eric Hamber, of the B, C. Mills, Timber and Trading Co., on behalf of Mrs. John Hendry and family, thanking the Council for the tribute paid to the memory of the late Mr. Hendry. Received and filed. From Fred Davis, offering his services as auctioneer for the tax sale, and asking to meet the Finance Committee in connection with same. Received and referred to Finance Commiitee to report. From the City Solicitor, re Coquitlam dam, stating that, on the 18th of January last, they had received a letter from the Comptroller of Lands, Ottawa, cog* veying the information that the city's protest against logging operations being permitted on the reserve was receiving attention, since which nothing had been received. Aid. Bryson pointed out that this was not a satisfactory answer--no "answer at all. They had asked the City Solicitor to communicate with the Minister of the Interior and ascertain why the work of clearing the land by the B.C.E.R Co. was not carried out. Aid. Goulet remarked that there were two different matters on which they wanted information. Thev had also asked the Ottawa Government to protect the city's water supply against logging operations in the forest reserve round Coquitlam Lake. We should know definitely what to expect in the future. On motion of Aid. Eastman and Goulet, the communication was received and filed. From the City Solicitors, re Shops Regulation By-law, interpreting and explaining certain clauses of the by-law, which in effect closes all ice cream, fruit and candy stores at 6:15, but where there are restaurants in connection these are exempt. On motion of Aid. Goulet and Bryson, the communication was received and referred to the Committee of the Whole Council. Aid. Johnston suggested that the City Solicitor should be present when the Council meet in committee on this question. From the City Solicitor, stating that the Registrar of Titles desired the city to complete the special survey of the city, begun some years ago, and have it finally passed by the Attorney-General. It was pointed out that it would be necessary to re-number the blocks acrosn the city, so that there may be no two. blocks of the same number. After some discussion, in which Aid. Eastman described the "special survey" as a horrible muddle, making it impossible to follow up the title of lots, which was corroborated by other Aldermen, the communication was, on motion, referred to the Finance Committee, to report as to the cost of Completing; the survey. From the secretary of the Trades and Labor Council, respecting the action of the Council in refusing permission to the Charles A. Slaney Coffee Co. to sell goods at the City Market. On motion received, and Clerk instructed to reply that Council could not see its way to depart from the policy hitherto pursued in such cases. Aid. Goulet, chairman of the Market Committee, said the committee, after consideration, had come to the conclusion that it was nol conducive lo the advantage of the market or the business interests of the cits- to encourage the sale of finished products al the market, but the committee had decided to recommend granting to the Charles A. Slaney Coffee C<>. the privilege of displaying their goods at the market. Aid. Johnston approved, but pointed out that more care would have to be exercised in future to insure that outside peddlers did not retail finished articles, such as razors, jewelry, etc., on the market. From Ed. Walmsley, asking thai Lot 3, sub-division of Lot 47, suburban block 5, be connected with the West End sewer, and stating he is prepared to enter into a similar agreement to that now existing between the city and hiinsell respecting other property owned by him as to the expense of this connection.
