AUGUST 27, 1914 GET TOGETHER AND PULL Just now there Is a tendency to ignore possibilities and allow things* to "slide." II' ell'orl is required lo get a thing done, war conditions arc taken as an excuse for the effort not being made and thai which ought lo be accomplished is not accomplished, and all are made lo suffer lhc consequences thereof. In community, life, there is a tendency to slop all progress, and let things "go lo thc devil." ������������������ .'. This is bad. Now, more than at any other lime, (here is need of combined effort,"a long pull, a steady pull and a pull ailogclhcr. So far as lhis community is concerned, wc nuisl forget as far as possible the fact that a world war is on, and each individual lend a hand to make local, conditions belter for his neighbor, and in so doing aid in making them better for himself. We cannot aid materially in talking war or living the war lhat now holds Europe enthralled, bul we can do a very great deal in aiding in the development of this community's industries and advantages. Perhaps now the opportunities arc better than Ihcy ever have been; perhaps, if wc but could sec il, (here are chances opening for us thai were nol open before; perhaps thc markets will open in a larger way than they ever have been opened for lhe commodities we can best produce. However __lhis_may_bc, wc cannot.go.J'ar_eslray, by ..making ready for larger things The fuller development of every piece of land now under,cultivation, lhc sounder basis we can gel upon in the handling of the produce of the district, lhc fuller we can develop the district's resources, all will lend to bring us to a position where we may not only assist in the general desire to uphold lhe integrity of thc community, bul, at the same lime, make conditions belter for ^ourselves as individuals. ~~���������������������������.,������������������������������������������������������ ������������������������������������������������������ ^ .-.������������������������������������������������������^ Times arc going lo be good this winter���������������������������if we make Them good. Thc war cannot lake from us anything good unless we lose heart and lose sight of lhe advantages lhat are our's. We have thc best lhal Nature can give; we are unmolested; we are given opportunities lhal few communities can boast of. What are we going lo do wilh lhe opportunities lhal tire our's? In this connection, the following words of Mr. II. B. Thomson, M. P. P., in the Victoria Colonist, should he given careful consideration: "Very shortly, if'-hol now, lhe whole world will be clamoring for more food, and thc present source of supply will be diverted. For instance, New Zealand ;\\nd 1.astern Canada will be looked to lo, fill the English wauls in place of the Netherlands for butter and eggs, and what British Columbia has had in Ihe past from' these places will have lo be supplied locally. We have in the great variety of fish which swarm about our shores a prime article of diet. Il may be said lhal those in lhe fishing business will be quick to realize their opportunities and lake advantage of lhe present situation. Well, Ihey should be encouraged to do so. The mailer is one of great importance, in my judgment. Then lake the question of lumber. The war has disrupted trade routes in Kurope by which much of the lumber obtained from territory fronting on the Bailie, which is England's main source of supply, reached A valued friend writes: "Editors and teachers and preachers need, in these days, to keep thc people fro in panic, and the panic of enthusiasm is as bad as thc panic of deep pessimism. The thing to do in these days of turmoil and change, is to ' cep cool and keep steady, working on at the business we have in hand, that we may be found ready "or every emergency. "To my mind lhis war is hard to reconcile with a 'Christian' civilization, and the historians of thc future will look for some one on whom to put the blame for lhc whole sad business. In our heal and anger wc pul the blame on Berlin and lhc Kaiser, bul perhaps there will be others involved when the true history is written. In the meantime avc cannot but be proud of lhe way the British people have risen to the occasion and have responded to the call made upon them. The 'conspiracy of silence' is one of the most remarkable things in warfare's long history, and it all seems to be inspired by the silent man at thc head of thc war department in England." Our friend, wc believe, is quite right. When history is written of this war, the blame for it will no. doubt be placed where it belongs, though wc like now lo believe that the Kaiser of Germany is responsible. And wc think, when history is written of this war we shall know as little about it as we know now._.' Not that thc instrument through whom the war was thrust upon thc world shall not be made known." lie shall be. His name and title will depend upon the nationality of the man writing thc history. But, after all, he will be only humanity's scape-goat: .The.real cause of the war is humanity itself. For some thousands of years wc have been living in an atmosphere of destructive thought, building up to destroy or be destroyed. Civilization's teaching has been that one nation's strength is dependable upon another nation's destruction; thai one nation adds lo its greatness in the measure that it can keep another nation down; that the goodness of one individual becomes greater in the measure that another individual's goodness is dimmed. As individuals wc havc-prayed for peace while as nations wc have prepared and pined for war; we have la ugh I Christ in thc individual and Mars in thc nation. Ah, yes; humanity will very readily find a scape-goat for ils failure. But out of it all will come a lesson���������������������������the severest humanity has ever learned, and when it is over the nation carrying a gun in ils pockcl and a chip on ils shoulder will be respected abou I as much as lhc individual who-now=does-so.

Those who had supported the old regime, and were trying to procure a return to the old order^had tried to monopolize patriotism and?had succeeded in somewhat discrediting it. Now a genuine state pride, compatible with opposition to the government, showed itself and took on more definite form of expression. And it took a -distinct anti-German line. Purely economic questions came in here. The Germans have been quick to realize the great business opportunities offered by the recent boom in Russia. Previously they had taken advan- _ tage of the war with Japan and] been fulfilledj exceptional laws, troubles at home to obtain from ' ' "J" J" l: Russia a commercial treaty that was most unfavorable to Russian ation in Russia. ,Home condition have, in fact, had. an. important bearing on^the crisis which is impending, but it is, possible that there isah entirely-different interpretation bf this point. The Russian public has given unequivocal proof ot its dissatisfaction* with .the timid ineffectiveness of its diplomacy, 7.during these last years," when--' the near eastern '.question has again come up.; \\LSJJ7������_____,:;____ ____ Just as frankly has it complained of the short-sighted,and inefficient administration of home affairs by the present government. There never has;; been such a general and clearly sensed feeling of discontent as has shown itself in the last year. In August, 19J.3, an important group of business-men,- assembled-in- Congress at the annualjNizhny-Nov- gorod fair, passed a set of resolutions. They condemned the policy of general repression which still continues, though all the revolutionary organizations have been effectively stamped out. They pointed out the injury to business resulting from these repressive measures.' They appealed for the actual realization of the provisions of the manifesto of 1905, in which the sovereign had promised political and civil rights. These have in faet not more frequently, and each" time embracing larger " numbers of workmen. .The strikes have Had a peculiar character. Frequently no demands were made for -increase of wages, or shorter hours, or better conditions of work; they were purely political strikes." In St. Petersburg they were called off almost immediately; they would seem to have been merely rehearsals. i ��������� ��������� ��������� , __The, strike. which_. began;, last business men and producers. This also was resented % by7 the Russian public. For some months the German and Austrian newspapers have been telling us much about the internal political situation in Russia. They have found many in- ���������dications of popular discontent and unrest and have taken much pleasure in emphasizing them. They pointed out the important relations between Russia's home situation and her foreign policies. giving wide discretionary powers to local administrative officials, still suspend many of the rights, B th interpretation of the re- which were promised, but which' f^r\\ -nf fu,war������ nfnnWinnnin. now exist only on paper. , A few months later there was a congress of workers in municipal affairs. The mayors of Russia's largest cities were present. Resolutions of a political nature were passed. Again they voiced an appeal that the imperial promises of 1905 be carried out. The ritual murder trial in Kiev last autumn greatly stirred Russian public opinion. Many who had hitherto supported tha gov- week was assuming serious proportions. It was intimated that the rehearsals were over.. The severest measures were, being taken to suppress it; there were conflicts between workmen', and the military, rioting and violence. Last February Baron. Rosen, formerly Russian ambassador to America, made a speech in - the Russian upper house, of which he is now a member. His statement caused much comment, both in Russia and. abroad. "He had never been suspected of radicalism, but he read a severe ��������� indictment of the government and its policies in bqth home and foreign matters. He was unsparing in his criticism of the, members of the government; justly-/characterizing the dillotante performances of the present minister of the interior, h y. . Thus the statements appearing in the German and Austrian press on the discontent andv unrest in Russia are well grounded. lation of this state of public opinion in Russia to Russia's foreign policy was wrong. . The discontent is in a certain measure due to the constant concessions made by Russian diplomacy to Austrian and German demands. And there has developed a general feeling of antagonism toward Germany, in some cases taking the form of a fear of danger from that quarter���������political tion.t In,the-situation which con-y fronts the-. Russian government / today, the'attitude of the Rusr' sian public has already'1 revealed itself, and it will be different. The Russian government's rde-. finite standagainst the ..Austrian y attack on Servia had to/be taken,. irrespective of consequences, and in a large measure because bf the internal situation which confronted it. "- 7 y - / . 'ThereJias followed an immediate response^ from "tKe__Russian_ public. The anti-German sentiment, which has been growing apace* these last months, expressed itself with vigor and enthusiasm ; there was a corresponding anti-Russian demonstration reported from Berlin. It is not; however, a question merely of the-'rehabllitation of -a- government that had realized at last the extent of its unpopularity. That may have been a consideration in the mind of the authority that has shown itself such a poor interpreter of Russian public opinion and inefficient director of home affairs and foreign policy. The personality of the emperor is an important factor. Since the assassination of Stolypin, his last strong and energetic prime minister, he has assumed the actual direction of affairs and the responsibility of government himself. But this is a point that can properly be developed only in considerable detail. '.' c. w. emu PLUMBING, HEATING, TIN- i SMITHING & REPAIRING Estimates furnished.

It is cheaper to save men. It is cheaper to stop killing. In our own country, in thc time of peace,-when nothing but peace is possible among civilized nations, we spend nearly a million dollars a day on matters concerned with past or future wars; $850,000 a day, on future wars alone, that we may not be caught napping when the day, of the impossible shall arrive.", What Dr. David Starr Jordan thought was impossible has acr tually arrived..

They fight fcr a God who so loved the world that he ga vc His only begotten son in order that a spiritual regeneration might come to men; notvto Germans, or Russians, or "Englishmen, or Australians, or Frenchmen, but to men, to all men. And these soldiers so appreciate this supreme sacrifice of God that they go out with swords and guns to kill one another Book your orders for FallPainting' LOWEST PRICES BEST WORK C.G.PIPER City Decorator But thrice just is their cause. They fight also for native land. For native land! When has the world seen such irony? Not one in ten of these fighting men owns so much as a single square foot of his native land. In country andPin city he toils from childhood "to old age for a bare piltancc;:on.'tlic'land of a sumptuously-faring lord or prince. "And.,when he has given thc last full measure of devotion, and lies prone upon thc ground, smitten by the hand of another who is fighting of his God, king and native land, and his last thought goes back to thc hovel he called home, and he sees in his mind's eye his wife staggering under the double, burden, and his aged mother in tear's, as she rocks the cradle of his orphaned child, he murmurs to himself: 'For God���������������������������king���������������������������and ���������������������������native-land.' "Whose is the fault? Why do' -men. who love women and fondle children, who care for the sick and revere the aged, why do they suddenly fall to killing other men- like themselves, whose only crime is that they speak a different language, or live on the other side of an imaginary line? "If it were some sort of distemper that got into men's minds and robbed them of their tilled, until it yields a rich re turn. - What is the share of, the man who docs, the work ? Both he and his family live miserably on the suffrance of their lord. "The churchmen, the priests and ministers, of every degree who have. consecrated themselves to the service of One who was borri in a manger, nurtured in.poverty, and crucified between two thieves, and who spent his life teaching. love, Gonseling-forbGarancG-and-min- istcring to the needy, .what have they done for thc people? Have they taught them that it is more blessed to give than to receive? Have they admonished them when smitten-on one check to turn the other also? Have they admonished them to resist not evil, but overcome _cvil_ with good? "Alas, all these things have they said wilh their lips,, bul denied -with their hearts. Though extolling lhc blessings of peace Ihey have raised no voice against thc creation ' of great armies and navies, whose only purpose, is the 'destruction of other Christians. Nay, they have7accompanied" every ���������������������������regiment''and every ship! that has gone forth to battle, praying to a common God that they may have victory over their Christian brethren. Men have been excommunicated and driven from the. church for denying an article of faith, or questioning a point of doctrine; but when was a Christian ever driven from his church for warring upon his fellow Christians? "The responsibility resting upon captains oi* industry and upon statesmen and. landlords is great, for they have held places of authority; but the responsibilities that rest upon churchmen transcends all others to whom much has been* given much will be required in return; and those whose eyes have been opened to spiritual truths must be held to a strict accounting if they quicken not the spiritual life of their fellows. Who can doubt that had every Christian priest and minister condemned war as ihcy preach against hell; had they denounced wholesale murder as they condemn individual murder, war long ago would have ceased. The ministers of God have not discharged their obligations when they have prayed for peace, nor yet when they have denounced war; they must condemn thc individual men who commit wholesale murder., "Yet, why do these men, though encouraged by priest and minister, destroy one another? God and king and native land are. mere words���������������������������vain, empty words, when used as an excuse for slaying human beings. Is there one single principle at stake in this war? Will the condition of humanity be bettered one jot? r Will a woman smile or a child laugh because of all the slaughter? - * "Then why this war? Is it be-' cause a senile old man, scion of a degenerate race, begrudged a; smaller nation its place in ,"thc3", sun? Js it'because another man,- a product of the dark ages lin-' goring, on into the. twentieth century,was jealous of the senile old man.

Misfortune never bluffs���������������������������if you surrender the pound of flesh will be taken. It is then merely a question of whether we shall slay on our feet and fight a skillful and intelligent battle, or supinely surrender to every marauding force that chooses lo exercise its strength upon our fortune. The human mind sometimes stops appalled when il considers that it must stand alone in lhis vast universe and work out its destiny, whether it will or no. The magnitude of thc proposition overwhelms thc weak while it is a prospect of extreme fascination to thc strong. And this weakness or strength is merely lhe view of our own mind���������������������������the weakness or strength a self-induced condition, thc former greatly to our advantage. As an entity you are compelled to ..exist���������������������������cilhe.r _facing,, the, problem Why Canada Should Stand Firm and ,Push Forward in Present Emergency with a clear brain and mind, exercising every faculty lo find a solution or else attempting lo sneak off behind some frail shelter only to be roughly hauled back by nature and forced tremblingly lo look the question in the face. The intelligent man or woman cannot evade this point���������������������������the ignorant do so by virtue of their ignorance.���������������������������Miches. Go Home or Starve���������������������������Which ���������������������������If it is true, as reported, lhal Canadian railways intend discharging all Auslrians employed on their lines, those people should be allowed to go back lo their own home country. It would be :i very great injustice lo discharge and then compel them to remain in Canada. It would be much better thai they bear arms al home than starve here. The railways brought them here and should be compelled lo return I hem lo their own country.���������������������������Slocan Hecord. In view of the events taking place in I.urope, says the Financial Post,' which will constitute an epoch of perhaps unprecedented importance in history, we appeal strongly to all who hold securities or investments of any kind lo meet the present situation wilh calmness and confidence. Our first duty, at any cost, is to aid in Great Britain's sustenance and defense, and our next duly ���������������������������"not less important, is to keep the business of lhe Dominion moving as normally as possible. "Let it be remembered thai while we must lay aside something to pay our shave of the cost of the war, wc have al our back storehouses of natural wealth scarcely yel touched. As the calamities of Europe place a higher value on our wheal and other exportable crops, so will the same calamities���������������������������the result of militarism and conscription���������������������������make the peaceful land of Canada more attractive to some of the best people of Europe whose hopes and lands, generation after generation, have been dispoilcd or devastated by war. Al thc present instant Canada stands practically immune from the physical menace of war; our fields are giving their-wealth to the harvester, and our other resources are yielding their bounty in greater profusion than ever. Wealth production is proceeding, and the opportunities for still greater primary production are not diminishing. This continent, including Canada, will profit, largely and speedily by thc changes in the world's currents of trade during the war. Many of our factories will find demands upon them stimulated because of restriction placed upon lhc productive machinery of Europe by lhe exigencies of war, and,' though for a lime in diminished quantities, a fair proportion of Britain's available capital will come lo Canada for investment. .Under the circumstances, therefore,'-the one great essential lo keep business moving is confidence, and Canada, probably of all nations of the world, has least excuse lo offer for any lack of it. "In the unprecedented and critical situation lhat exists," says Sir Geo. Paish, "il is of thc greatest importance that everyone should endeavor to acl as if great events were nol pending. Were confidence seriously disturbed, business would come practically to an end, and our ability to face the dilliculties that may be in front of us would be seriously impaired. Therefore, il U Qj.yJti'1 importanceLJhat, as far as der thai individual incomes, and therefore thc income of the whole nation, may be maintained al the highest possible level. "A little over a century ago, when the nation was al war wilh Napoleon, ils income was very small, being less than one-eighth of whal it is at present, and in a comparatively small space of lime lhe British people succeeded in raising about ������������������1,000,000,000 of money for war purposes, and so great was their confidence and courage lhal al the end of the great war, which severely taxed their resources, they were stronger' and, wealthier than they had been at lhe beginning." Canada's natural store is as yet barely touched. From any temporary lull in our progress, from whatever cause,- we can, therefore, recover ourselves more quickly than did the Motherland after her world struggle of a century ago, if our people are of the same heart and industry, and wc are confident they are. Courage in the fight for the Empire is not more necessary than courage in the maintenance of the industry and commerce of the country. DODGING THE KIEL CANAL At present thc most notable canal in the world is not the Suez, nor the Soo; not even Panama, about which thc world has been talking for years. It is the Kiel Canal, which, wilh the naval arsenal and war port of Kiel, is headquarters for the German navy. For war purposes this is the most strategic canal ever built. Kiel City is the chief naval port of Germany in the Baltic. Kiel Harbor is the'one spot on-the map that supremely -makes Germany a naval power. The' Kiel Canal, connecting Kiel on the Baltic wilh Brunsbuttel at the "mouth of the Elbe, in the North Sea, is the strategic base of thcJ German fleet. .When the newspapers state that the German fleet is^bottlcd up in Kiel, what they really'mean is that for as long as it suits Germany's purpose, the German lleet is bottled up there on purpose to keep the British fleet guessing as lo which route il intends to take to get to the open se<������������������ The distance from one mouth of the canal to the other round by the Cattegat on the north end of Denmark is a good day's run for a warship. By the shortcut of the canal, with its huge locks, 1,082 feel long, with a mean depth of 45 feel, the distance for the German l.lfic\\U._Lg������������������]y-_-J'g^ land. So long as the German fleet is bottled up in Kiel it is safe. If by means of the two-mouthed canal part of it manages to escape while he British fleet is hovering near the other exit, thc waiting game will be over and there will be enough of the German ships on the high seas to menace our shipping. Al present the Admiralty is hoping for an open-sea engagement as soon as possible. When it conies, if il comes big enough, there will nol be enough of lhe German fleet left to pay for the cost of thc Kiel Canal. Kiel is the most dangerous spot in Europe al the present time. It is all the more dangerous because Heligoland, the. island ceded by Lord Salisbury lo Germany in 1890, forms with ils fortification and its coaling station a third angle' to the astute naval triangle in the Baltic and the North Sea.���������������������������Canadian Courier. . He Was Slow An Armstrong youth said to his young lady friend the other evening: "I consulted a fortune teller last night, and after I had crossed her palm with a sovereign she predicted that I would marry you." And the Armstrong miss replied, "What a waste of money. I could have told you that for nothing three months ago." < If a business is not worth advertising, says an advertising expert, better advertise it for sale. CITY OF ENDERBY Rebate on Taxes possible, the events that are now taking place should not interfere with the daily life and lhe daily work of thc nation. Orders should be given,factories should be run,and everything should be arranged lo maintain, as far as possible, Ihe productive power and the income of the country. "Bul for this lo be accomplished, the situation must be faced wilh courage and confidence on lhe pari of everyone, investors must continue lo invest, bankers must continue lo lend, Ihe slock exchange must continue to deal, and everyone according lo his ability must endeavor to work hard in or- of an enemy must make sure whether thc German fleet intends to emerge by the North Sea or by the Bailie. This necessitates having two fleets lo watch the exits. With thc enemy's lleet massed to cover thc North Sea exit while thc German Meet slips out by thc Baltic mouth, it would be possible for al least part of thc German Heel lo make for Ihe open sea and harass British shipping before they could be corraled by the enemy. The Kiel Canal is an essential pari of the German navy.
