The Ladysmith Daily Ledger was published in Ladysmith, in the Cowichan Valley region of Vancouver Island, and ran from July 1903 to December 1906. Ladysmith developed as a residential area for the employees of a large coal mine, and, in 1904, it had a population of approximately 4000. The Ledger was published by the Ladysmith Publishing Company, which also issued the paper under two variant titles: the Daily Ledger (April to July, 1905) and the Ladysmith Ledger (September to December, 1906).

Although Canada is on the eve of a general election, il is wonderful how quietly tiie people of B. 0. are tailing this national event. Of course lo judge from many of Hie journals one picks up, Hie greatest excitement rages throughout the country and the papers themselves ai'e crowded with frcii/ieil appeals nnd arguments on behalf of llie particular' side the papers espouse, But the people as a whole lake things very calmly; end while tlicy do not underate the importance of casting their votes, they arc not doing very much "hurrah" shouting. The Iriitb ol what we arc slating is apparent to everyone here on the coast, and a gentleman who on Friday returned' from an cxleiisivein ---.. <i„„mri, ihe miner country says the same conditions, exist there, he was greatly struck by the quiet way that people viewed the elections. In the easi, perhaps, politics seem lobe at a greater heal, hut the reason why British Columbians arc tilling the matter with so much equanimity is that elections have lost their novelty with it... To paraphrase' a popular song "its Hie same old election, in the same old way" and ol recent years we have bad a surfeit ol elections. Hardly was one concluded than another came to thc trout, and it is impossible tor anyone less.volatile than a South or Central American republic to keep in a constant turmoil of elections, and moreover, we have not adopted their picturesque features ot revolutions and coups d'etat to give a spice to the event, but soberly deposit otr ballots in a quiet anil orderly manner on polling day. Therefore it is not surprising that British Columbians arc not shouting themselves hoarse, albeit tlicy will vote just the same. An unfortunate thing too common among many of our papers is that in their reports ol meetings they claim lor Hie particular candidate wliosccnusc they support; packed houses and enthusiastic electors, while tlicy compare all Hie gatherings of llieir opponents to an ice chest slimly supplied. Their own man pours lorth Hoods ot eloquence, while the other fellow talk's such utter nonsense Hint they wonder people can have the patience lo listen lo him, the only consolation being that his illogical talk really helps the cause he is trying lo kill. In fact, so common has Ibis silly decrying nf opponents become, that (here arc many people who look wilh suspicion on all such papers. It is a pity that respectable journals should descend to these method's, and it is their own fault if it undermines llie public conpdenco iu their accuracy. Tlie man who buys a paper for the news has a right lo expect that the Happenings recorded arc accurate. A reporter has uo biisi ness to express bias In a report, what he is supposed to do in to give a fair idea of What lie sees and hears . and to leave, the expression of opin-1 ions to the editorial columns. It is' not always the reporter's fault, however, that fiis account of a mcijling is not ns impartial as it should be; frequently, while not told In so many than the other, and statements that would lirjar against the parly Ihc pa- per supports are slurred over so as lu give them as little -prominence as possible. Many papers, however, are happily free from this detestable practice and would scorn to present a garbled report. They light openly and above board and wc, believe-that the general tone of the press will eventually be raised and the evil we mention killed hy the effects ol public opinion. FRANCE AND VATICAN. The trouble due to the recent compulsory closing ol so many ol tlie houses ol the religious orders by the French government, has eventually culminated in a complete severance ol the diplomatic relations between the republic and the Vatican. This was to be expected, lor the ill taeling has been growing lor some time and thc pope has more than once expressed bis disapproval of the actions ,oi Fsancc lately. It' is a strange thing that in two of what are considered the leading Catholic countries 0| the woil.lv the 'Vatican should have had such unpleasant experiences. The deprivation by United Italy ol the temporal power ol the pope resulted in the two immediate predecessors of the present pontiff .making themselves virtually voluntary prisoners lu the precincts of the Vatican. Leo X however, has been credited with a desire to bring about more cordial relations with the Italian court; hut Ihc actions ol the French government has thrown a cloud between him and that country which it will be difficult tu remove. There can be no doubt lhat in our own empire and Ihc United States the two countries where the greatest religious li.erty is found and which, while respecting all religions, are not what is vulgarly termed "priest ridden," the rela lions with the Vatican arc mote nr- dial than ifl even the '«™< >"•••'■- lie" countries so called. fudge Spinks, of Vernon, has been appointed by the provincial government to inci.iit'0 into the i.'uarges against Inspector A.

SAYS FUSS!A WILL CONQUER II. Koshlda, a Japanese merchant of Kobe, thinks that Russia is going to defeat his own country in the present conflict. Mr. Koshida feels that tbe tremendous resources ofthe Russian empire will eventually overcome even the stubborn nnd courageous resistance of the little brown men. Mr. Koshida, in a Seattle interview says: Russia's resources are unlimited, but Japan must depend for her fighting men on the population of ber own little empire. Personally 1 do not like to anticipate thc end ofthe, struggle, for I can state without any lapse of patriotism that the odds are all against us. While I would give everything I own to contemplate different results, it is not in our power to change tbe course of events. If Russia wins, she will do fto through her unlimiled resources/ Japan has the spirit of victory, hut the material is lacking. With even .numbers, yes, with two to one against -her, Japan could more than hold her own, hut what can she do when she has odds of ten to one against ber? She will he able to hold out six months more perhaps and maybe longer, but tbat will he the end. Many people are saying that she will not, hold on I for three months; that Ihe winter will witness the cvac'ua- tiin of her position around Port Arthur. I am not. a military man, and they may be right. I do not wish to be considered a renegade to my country, but in all justice to thosp concerned I feel thai the end is near, and M is my opinion that others think so also.
