BATES. Editor and Proprietor FRIDAY, J UN;C ;:J, .191.!) The present unrest throughout ;he country is these days causing,much comment, and it is hard to know just wheret ho trouble lies and the remedy for it all. Labor complains about the injustice of capital, and capital sometimes -wonders if labor, especially the labor leaders, are serious in their demands. And there you' are between the devil and the deei> sea. But it seems to'us that when it is' all over the big ��������� man, the man with capital, will be bigger than ever, and have much more his own way. The present conditions would appear to point to the elimination of the small man in business, as he cannot stand the financial pressure too long-. Probably he has only his business ability and energy to back him up���������and if he cannot get the business he is bound to go to the wall. We believe it is in the interests of the laborer that there should be as many small men (men with limited capital) doing business as possible���������they would be easier to handle than the big fellow. present unrest; some blame the capitalist, and.some say that it is the fault of the man who will not give a full day's work for a full day's pay, and Satan finds mischief for idle hands to do. ' There are a lot of us who would like to, keep on working as industriously as we have-been for the past five, ten, fifteen or twenty years, or more, so that when old age comes we'can spend a few years in rest and quietness. The present system may be wrong and it pertainly ruts many injustices, but better grin and bear than cause our neighbor to starve for a while,' while changing the system. We believe that the present unrest will have a very. great, ten d enut and get down to business. Some people blame the government for the True our governments are not all good, and some of t hem are undoubtedly bad, and we do not have to go away from home to find a representative who misrepresents the people. Supposing the opinion of the people of Dewd- ney was to be taken on the. spiir of the moment, how could our misrepresentative Honest John Oliver tell what the people think on any subject. He is a stranger among us and prefers to'remain so~-to misrepresent us rather than represent us. He. is very dilatory about getting or keeping in close touch with those who elected him to represent us���������not misrepresent us. We fee] sure that if the lion, member knew the public opinion of Dewdncy riding he would immediately .seek to sever his'connections with the riding and seek representation where he would know his ability was recognized and appreciated. Such might, be the case with other members of parliament.. Wo have.been hoping in Dewdney for years that our misreproi-'.antatiye would do some things he was asked to do, but we' have waited in vain���������some day he will want to smile on us and we will get even by not smiling back. Now we think N \"w Westminster would be an excellent place for John Oliver to misrepresent after the ne.-;f\" -lection.

Conn. Atkinson, spunking on the subject said that ho believed 'oil did good if it ,was properly handled and advised the appointment of sonic qualified man to have charge of the putiing'on of the oil. K. R. Harris was appointed to act as supervisor of this work. Mr. ' Hill also asked the council for a graut for ihe Abbotst'ordrSumas fair that is to be held in September lor the Jlrsc time since 1914. -A grant of $100 was made. The following appropriations were made. To Cdun. Atkinson, $50 and a coil of wire for the Mather road; $50 for tho Straiton and Clayhurn road, half of which is to be spent east and half west, of the school, and planking for repair work on bridges. Coun. DeLair got an appropriation j of $40 for the Munroe road near the G. N. It. trestle. An appropriation of $ J 00 was made to Coun. Austin for work on the Angus Campbell road. | .Coun. Delair reported that the adjoining municipality of Matsqui was I willing to spend dollar for dollar up j to $200 on the boundary road. The i municipalities will co-operate in this work, ieach spending $200, while Sumas will spend an additional $50 on the Colwell road, the necessary, appropriations being voted. An indemnify bylaw was passed which sets the indemnity of the reeve at $200 and that of each of tho councillors at $150. Previous to this year the reeve's indemnity had been the same as the councillors, and Reeve Fooks was averse to any increase but the council felt that as all other municipalities paid the reeve more than the councillors this one should do the same, and the reeve's objection was overridden. . .The'clerk was instructed'to register the pound bylaw which had been paused at the last meeting of the council. Miss York was employed to act as caretaker to the municipal hall; the salary will fluctuate with the number of times the building is used in a month. ' ' ' Tenders for bridge on the Larnson road extension wero received and opened. The tenders had been called for two styles of bridges of concrete and pile foundations. L. O. Larnson offered to construct a pile foundation bridge complete for $537.50; Jack Wright offered to do the cement work for $225 and II. R. Harris offored to haul the lumber and build the superstructure for $65 if the council would buy the lumber. Figures showed this to be the cheaper of the two proposals and the tenders \"of Wright and Harris were accepted. The work will not. be started until after the high water has receded. HELP TO CLEAN UP BRITISH COLUMBIA (Continued Prom Page One) business men and earnest citizens, j may justify its existence .and make; its presence felt in the community., Abundant Opportunity for Social Service in British Colubmia Like others, no doubt, 1 have, joined this club experimentally. I was unconvinced as to the wisdom of joining, even after Mr. S truth era had used his expository and pursuasive powers upon me. Ho invited me to the first meeting, however, and 1 was influenced towards. joining 'by a statement of Mr., N. G. Neil as to effective work dene by Kiwaiian.i in chockir.i: _voters and voting in another Canadian city. I' concluded that if tlic-Kiwanian Club���������no mat- tor where or how it originated���������:was to be an active force in the community for business and social righteous- nes, there was' abundant opportunity for its service in British Columbia. As a Canadian, and a ' Scottish born son of the Lmipire,-l have something of couusinly regard and family criticism for citizens of the United States; but I believe that, witht nations as with men, we should be alert to emulate their good qualities, and careful to avoid their mistakes.. Whatever our international affiliations, each Kiwanian Club, T believe, is a separate entity, and m'ay'dcvclop its own life and work, with the view of being most effective in its local service. For information, and without criticism, one' may���������on the inside��������� raise a question as to why this club, formed about the end, of the year, and collecting an iuiation fee of $10 per member, with well over 100 members, should levy its half-yearly feo of $ 1.0 as duo at 30th January instead of 30th June? * * I find added point to that ��������� question by observing from the Kiwanian \"Torch\" that the Toronto Club had an initiation' fee of only $10 and yet its yearly dues are only $15.' Now, as 'to application outside the club of. its aims, objects and ideals One may suggest that Vancouver club should at once -begin to'take steps to justify its existence municipally and provincially\" by. putting these ideals into practice. * * ��������� This organization will naturally be ready to take part with others in any large social or philanthropic movement, effort or , enterprise , affecting the welfare'of the city or country as awhole. .-That .is a general assumption, but,we must be more definite. Mutually informing, encouraging and inspiring to its membership in the first place, the club ought to face unflinchingly the conditions in city and \" province. These conditions, judging by what has recently been \"half-revealed and half-conceded,\" aro such as to challenge the collective heroism of spirit of the members. 'Sensible men do not besmirch their country or community; but they are Kiwanians as to Prohibition and its 'method of application. Tint ��������� I believe we will all be agreed that lawyers or judges who let mere \"t'ech- 'riicalities\". or the prejudice of prece-������ , dent interfere with flic administra- ��������� tion of justice are not a credit to any court or country. British Columbia be.the unique distinction of debarring clergymen from sitting as members of its Legislature While not speaking as a counsel for, the clergymen���������unless in the sense that 1 believe in fair treatment for all .citizens���������one might fittingly suggest that if one professionally-discoursing class must be kept outside parliament the ban might ;be transferred for a time to the legal fraternity. -Jn the meantime some practical business 'men might get a few Acts on record that would speak for themselves, and be understood and interpreted \"without a historical- review to support- them. ���������' . ��������� Come what may, let us practise ideals Kiwanian ��������� by preparing to' help to clean ' up British Columbia, municipally and provincially. We should also work for a higher standard of citizenship. The standard for foreigners and children born of foreign parents must be raised. Better also if the voting age<-for all he not under 25. Measures should^' be taken to see-that electors,are a-, wake, not only to the rights and pri-4l vilcges.'but to the duties and responsibilities of citizenship * * * , Jn this connection, regulations might with advantage, be introduced where by citizens not exercising the franchise at an election would be liable to havo their names struck off the roll. Why should not this Kiwanian club ' independently take steps to select citizens whom -it might invite, recommend, and work for as candidates, not for the perpetuation of pe tty partisanship in city and State, but for the extension of its idels in social service? . . How can it be done? It is for our l officers and committees to consider,, consult and advise concerning ways and means in the first place; but the whole membership of tho club might be formed into an Outlook or Vigilance committee to collect and collate facts concerning municipal' and provincial affairs, and regarding men qualified beyond quostion to represent British Columbia, and to help it attain a place in the Empire and the world which shall be in keeping with poor patriots who igftore the \"unfin-|an that is best in \"British\" and all ished,mysteries\" which tarnish their country's fame. * ���������* * Municipally, we have had curious incidents, and promised procedure in one case seems to have boon followed by promise of a CO- nfer-action in another * * * Is that tho end? that is fair in \"Columbia,\" which, let us never forget, is after all a daughter nation of our own home-land. , Thus may British Columbia come to lead tho Dominion and Influence all British America by helping to make all America more intensely and In provincial law and politics, also , Ungl BriUsll culiar things have happened.
