Smith, deputy min- ist.or of finance. This has boon'rumored for a long time as being Ihe plan of the Government, but it' was not until yesterday that it was definitely decided to allow Mr. Smith to retire into' private' -life. He. will sever his connection with tho Government April 1. Ano,lher item of news which will bo received with a great deai of surprise is the announcement that J. A. Anderson, who. has been 'auditor-general for many years,, is also to retire April V, so that he will not como into possession of the increased powers granted to the auditor-general ������under the new act. Both Mr. Smith and Mr. Anderson are familiar figures in the.public life of the Province,' and during the many years in which they have been connected with' the Provincial Government hae made many friends. With their retirement two positions are 'open, and there is some speculation as to the identity of those -who. are to be appointed in succession. The person most widely taiked of for the deputy ministership is W. ,J. Goepel, ���������who has been for a long time connected .with the department.' The name of William Marisoja. has been often mentioned in connection with the auditor-generalship; but it- has been officialy denied that he will receive the appointment.���������Times. SOMETHING. FOR 'PUBLICITY BUREAU TO SOLVE. Why are, acres of cabbages routing in the Holds of the Fraser Valley while the marqet is being flooded with WJishing'ton'state produce? This is a question that is being asked daily by many people here. One'answer to the question was given at the New Westminster market Friday, when' two shipments were' received,- one from Mission, ttye other from Chilliwack. The former. was - put up in bags and,, were of soft, poor quality. The other, packed in 200-pound crates, was well .selected and of hard, firm quality.\" These sold readily at half a cent a pound above the market price, .whereas the poorer stuff hadf.nb sale whatever. The ,discrimination of commission men may have something to do with the market, but the growers are often to blame themselves for the careless manner in which their produce is handled and placed on the market. ��������� Foodstuffs in particular must be made attractive before the clean and thrifty housewife will purchase.

Martin Luther was a great man in almost every way; his very faults were great; he was a very imperfect, though a very remarkable, character���������- after a patient study of his character (which we commend) one cannot, but honor liis asone^of the greatest .of men., In the midst,' of the fulness' of bodily* vigor and wjrh .adequate means of gratifying all cravings of the,senses, of the mind, to. put aside-all, these things which men \"naturally seek; and live for, and to'take'up-instead with lifelong toil as his work'and only the hope. of- a better resurrection as his reward. To do this* firmly.-and-calmly and consistentlyi'throifghout-. the. whole vigor and'maturity, of manhood,- not with '-perpetualT self-applause'' but rather as by an irresistible impulse from within. This is truly great; and this Luther,did for thirty.years daily, and therefore Luther was !a great man. , ��������� ' , . . ��������� , .A peasant by birth, the son of a poor miner. His father loved-books and book-men, and\"'this \"gave him the great desire to make his son Martin a scholar. From school he went to Eriurthr-the mobt.v..o'elebrated, college then:iii all Germany. He distinguished himself there; he was overtaken by ,a dangerous illness, and later becomes a' Master of ���������Arts and a Doctor of Philosophy/ arid , was appointed .to lecture publicly, in Philosophy.' At twenty he was celebrated.at the most celebrated of all universities.' His ill-, ness made him thoughtful; his visit home; his return to Erfurth; his companion's-death (by lightning).; his sick-bed vows; what little he had read of the Eible -in the college library; God; the future; the exhortations of a faithful preacher; all so wrought upon his mind that he resolved to become a Monk���������after going through the necessary course of study and mental discipline he was ordained a PriesUn. May, 1507. The next year he was'appointed a Professor in the University of Wittenberg. His friends were astonished; his father astounded, when he became a Monk, but though grieved, because so disappointed, they forgave and blessed each other. He remained at Wittenberg for the ���������next ten years of his life, when an event occurred which was to turn the whole current of his career and give him a prominence .in. theological history which few other men have ever attained. His knowledge of ��������� the world, and his own heart and of 'the Bible, had much increased, and his ways of viewing many \"things had changed correspondingly. The naturally practical character of his mind and its now superadded spirituality, would not allow him to- be satisfied, or even tol- recant; on the 10th of December, J 520, ho flung,the Pope's .bull into the fire and,with it the canonical law and the writings of Dr. Eck. By this act. he' at ouce makes himself excommunicate. Now comes-the turning point in Luther's career, the most dangerous crisis he 'was to reach, and the one that needed the utmost courage and most inflexible resolution to pass it in, safety! It was ^that .which has become famous as the \"Diet of Worms.\" There is no finer scene in all history than this of 'Luther at \"Worms.\" Luther was not to be stopped by dread of dignitaries, or fear of penalties. He was 'there, unsupported, save by Him who is ever to cheer and4 hope of the strong in His grace. Calm and dignified, he faced 1he court, answered for himself as only man /can who feels and knows,what is just, good and true. \"If he can convince me , from the Holy scriptures that I am in error, I am ready with my own.bands to cast the whole of my writings into the fire.\" Luther was dismissed from the Emperor's presence as a.heretic. His homeward journey was full of danger. His friends, made him a prisoner in the \"Warteburg.\" With this ends the scenic history,of Luther's life. He-was .in this castle-cage -for ten months. We next see him' once more back ;in, \"Wittenberg,\" ..where for some .time he'preached'with- great eloquence. He married; brought up a family; published a translation of the Bible in German and innumerable books; he entered into .controversies with Erasmus, Henry VIII., the Sacramentaries; organized, churches and governed multitudes in his own nation and in others. \"He died in his bed in his own town, in which he was born, in 1546. He wrestled foot to foot-with three Popes; stood his pawn against the greatest of all Emperors. He was a genuine great man. We all have, our mission and the same means of fulfilling it. It is the duty of all to bear witness' to what we believe to' be the Truth and to fight against what we believe to be error. To do this we must be: honest and earnest, manly and brotherly, having illimitable faith and inflexible decision, sincerity, largeness of heart, fearing God and love besides. HAWK.

Sir Richard McBride, Priaie Minister of British Columbia, made ,the 'principal'address at the Charter Day exercises of the University of California at Berkley, Cal., on March 22. A large crowd assembled in the Greek Theatre-and heard the Canadian statesman arraign the present methods of university education and recommend more practical training. At the conclusion of his address the degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred on the university's distinguished guest by President Benjamin- lde Wheeler. ��������� , In. his address at the Greek Theatre Sir- Richard urged the necessity of practical education, fitted to the requirements of the world's work. Universities, he assorted,' should change their methods, aiming prima'r- ily. to develop individuality and teach studentns to think for themselves. Those self-made men who, regret the meagrcness of their early schooling probably would not have'achieved success, he affirmed, had they' been col-. lege (trained, Premier McBride said.

Friday, March 28, 1913 There is no doubt but that the naval policy will be fought out as a matter of politics in Canada. The Liberals and the Conservatives 'have lined up in good shape and it looks as though it would in the future be more a question o.f party than the true Canadian sense of loyalty. Henceforth it may be expected that each party will have its own naval policy, and the one that appeals most to the people of Canada is the one that will win, whether it be the best one or not. In the heat of discussion it is to be hoped that the true sense of loyalty so deeply bred in the bone of the true Canadian born will not be cultivated less than in the past, and that future generations will be as willing to respond to the call as was Canada during the Boer war. formance.

EASTERN MARKET. The following resolution brought forward by the Duncan Board of Trade affords food for thought and in regard to the Orientals should be acted upon: \"That, whereas land in this province is being acquired by Japanese and other persons of Oriental origin to an alarming extent, and \"Whereas, the holding of land by these people has a ;demoralizing effect on land values and is otherwise undesirable, and \"Whereas,; it is a fact that certain1 districts in California have been .utterly abandoned by the former white owners, and the said districts have been colonized by Japanese, and \"Whereas, there Is grave danger of a similar state of affairs being brought about in this province if strong measures are not taken by the Provincial Government to prevent it, be it therefore ���������}' :?>;i?ff$\\ \"Resolved,' That this Board urge upon the Provincial Government the necessity of enacting legislation which will, prevent the registration of land' titles by any person of Oriental extraction, or by any person who is not a British subject by birth or naturalization, or a Bubject of the United States of America, and \"That every Board of Trade in the Province, the leading newspapers of British Columbia, the^Ity and district Municipal Councils, and other public bodies throughout the Province ��������� be asked' to endorse this resolution, and \"That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to every member of the Executive Council of British Columbia, to the leader of His Majesty's loyal Opposition and to the member for Cow- ichan in tho Provincial House, and that they each be requested to work to secure the enactment of remedial legislation asked for in this resolution.\" No white man needs to be convinced as to the great desirability.of allowing Orientals to mix freely and on equal terms with ourselves. In Japan -a white] man cannot hold land except under great disabilities. Every handicap is placed upon him and every obstacle put in the way of his material advancement. We are not wanted in Japan and the Japanese are not afraid to say so. The Japanese ^re certainly not wanted in this country and it is about time we said -so al60. We are still in a position to take some definite action in this matter. Nof doubt action of the kind necessary to keep this land a white man's land will not be very palatable to the Japanese government, but Japan is in no position to raise any very strenuous protest just now, or for some years to come. Her people are overburdened with excessive taxation, - which is levied in order to build warships and equip her army. The country has not yet recovered from the tremendous expenditures rendered necessary by the Russo-Japanese war of ten years ago. Besides all these things Great Britain is the only European ally of Japan, and Japan cannot afford to break with us at the present juncture. The British Empire and Japan together are able to keep the peace on the Pacific. Any other combination of powers at the present time would Inevitably lead to war. How long this state of affairs will continue is doubtful, but it is clear that we cannot hope always to be in a position to dictate our terms to Japan on matters of this kind.���������Cowlchan Leader. POST OFFICE SERVICE. It is not a pleasant task to publish so many serious complaints about the inefficiency of the local' post office service. \" The difficulty is' increased by the knowledge of the fact that most of the trouble arises through the indifference of the authorities at Ottawa, who do not seem _ able to realize the extent to which Victoria has developed during the last few years. The simple facts published on the authority of the Henderson Directory Company during the present week should not be-without some effect on the department. The population of Victoria^is new stated to be 67,000, which means that it has doubled within two years. The Week has ascertain'ed that the increase in the staff and appliances of the local post office during that time does not exceed twenty per cent. No further comment is necessary. The complaints by the numerous correspondents- of The Week are not lacking in definite: ness or particularity and many of them cannot be answered. In addition to the lengthy letter from Mr. Forsythe, published in the current number, which in several importance instances demonstrates the weaknes of the service, The Week has a long letter from one of the leading firms of manufacturers in the city, giing no, fewer than five specific instances of failure to-deliver letters and parcels within a reasonable time. As there is not space to print this letter \"in extenso,\" the following instances may be cited: A letter was posted by the Provincial Government in Victoria asking for a tender on certain work; blue prints were dispatched by the same mail under separate cover; they arrived ten days after they were mailed. A letter addressed from Vancouver to a business addressed within the city limits of Victoria was returned in three months to the original sender, having been to England; as the envelope was also returned, the correctness of the origi- 1 nal address was verified. A letter was posted to an address within the city limits from the Victoria Theatre'two days before a certain performance took place./ The letter reached its destination two days after the perr Owing to Friday being a holiday, narket day at New.Westminster was leld on Thursday, and a fairly brisk faster market, with a good supply of eggs, poultry and Easter lilies, was the result. For the first time this'season fresh sturgeon was placed on the market, the supply which was obtainable finding a ready sale at 15. cents- a pound. Meat and vegetables remained about the same as last week, tho mar- feoffor these commodities being very steady. The demand throughout was very good considering that it was a holiday market. The egg and poultry market- was mediocre and it is expected that eggs have now reached the rock-bottom price, from henceforth a-tendency to-strengthen being predicted. The hens are laying well, but Lhe demand Is ever increasing, and the supply will shortly not be equal to the demand. Two live turkeys were offered for sale at 35 cents a pound, while poul- cry was the, same as' last week, pullets selling for from., ?12 to $15 per dozen. The supply of ducks still remains small and the high prices .vhich are being paid for them1 do not show any signs of weakening. At present-ducks are selling for from $14 co $18 per dozen. Potatoes and vegetables did not find a much brisker demand, than last- week and although the supply has somewhat Increased the prices remained the same, potatoes selling for from.?8 co $12 per ton. The supply of fresh lish is ever increasing and the demand is likewise on the increase. Salmon, oolichans and halibut were'the fresh fish offered this morning, all selling at he prices which obtained last week. Fresh sturgeon sold for 15 cents a pound. The supply of cut flowers, especially I laffodils and hyacinths, was very good ���������this morning and the purchasers were eager to procure the choice Easter lily blooms which were offered. The prices m this department also remained steady. The Prices.

C, March 17. The Editor, Abbotsford Post, Abbotsford, ������. C���������Dear Sir: Along with many other monitors ot* I lie Board of Trade, I feel sors at the comments made by you on Mr. Hill-Tout's letter, especially when you come next door to calling him a liar. 1' hardly think this is following up the good advice you recently gave in your paper to all citizens to work harmoniously together and have no knockers in our midst. Now, the Board of Trade meetings have boon better attended this year than ever, and there has been an excellent understanding and good feeling amongst the members, and this is the first jolt we have liad, and it looks bad coming from the Post, whose motto is to \"Boost for Abbotsford.\" I am afraid you don't understand the circumstances or you have got your information wrongly. In the first place, Mr. Hill-Tout was not appointed by the Board to interview the Railway Commissioners. Those appointed by the Board were James Higginson, J. M. Ebray and L. Ga'zley.. None of these gentlemen were able to carry out their commission, and Mr. Hill-Tout was asked at the last minute to step into the breach and do the best he could. Even had Mr. Hill-Tout failed to do anything at all there would have,been no blame attached to him. The minutes of the Board of Trade show'that Mr. Hill-Tout has done more in the way of representing the Board at Vancouver, New Westminster and even Victoria than practically all the other members put together,, and I have yet to learn that he has ever put in one cent for expenses. Now, we do- not have many members with the time and ability of Mr. Hill- Tout at their command, and I hate to think .any remarks of yours should cause us to lose his services. It seems to be the way that the man who sits still and does nothing (except kick once in awhile) gets off, while the man who steps in and tries to do his best for the community gets no thanks when he does everything right and gets heaps of abuse should the least thing go wrong. I hold no brief for Mr. Hill- Tout, but there has been a very bitter feeling aroused over your comments, \"and as.,Mr. Hill-Tout was away several members have asked me to write and have backed me up b signing this letter. Trusting you will find space for this letter. Yours truly, J. A. McGOWAN. The Post is pleased to give publicity to the above letter, but see/no reason for the publishing of any name .except that of the writer, as very lew of those who signed were residents of the growing town of Abbotsford when the Board of Trade was forme'J, and therefore cannot be familiar with the minutes of the many meetings and the workings of the Board since its formation. It has been the endeavor of the Post to verify its reports of the monthly meetings \"from the secretary. Just as a matter of news. This our present secretary will, the Post believes,-state to be the truth. Of course, on various occasions the report was given from his loose sheets, but the Post will leave it to others to doubt that a full and ��������� correct report of each meeting was not given. Like the writer of the letter, the Post has a very great respect for Mr. Hill-Tout, as he is a valued citizen and member of the Board, but there is really not much use sending a good man, no matter how much \"time and ability.\" he may have, unless me matter has been gone about in the right way. There is osly one way in these matters, and that is the way that the commission demands ��������� consent for hearing and an appointment. These two being granted, and the Board's representative present at the appointed meeting, there should be no cause whatever for disappointment in the case not being called. Of course, if no appointment Is made by the Board of Trade secretary with the secretary of the Railway Commission, and no No bread, no matter how perfect, is too good for your family.

If Mr. Hill-Tout sat for two whole days awaiting his turs, the Post is safe in saying that \"some one had blundered.\" Who has blundered? Mr. McGowan states that Mr. Hill-Tout has not. ThenVho is it? ' . CAN'T RAISE WILD TURKEYS. According to the report of the provincial game warden, the experiment of raising .wild turkeys in British Columbia has not been successful. The birds were placed in charge of Deputy Game Warden Cummins at Sardis, who had them placed in pens, and any eggs which were good were placed under domestic turkeys. The result of this experiment being a failure it was deemed advisable to liberate the birds and one pair was loaned to Stanley Park, Vancouver, and the other pair sent to Cranbrook. In both places the birds now have plenty of space to roam at will and should they be sue-( cessful in raising any chicks these are to be turned out at the discretion of the government.
