Frank Richards, F.LLA.S., of Vie- toria, B.C., is satisfied that life in surance by the stock company or pri-, vate corporation can never again com- | mand the confidence of the people.

The lesson of the electors follows. On great ixsues--those that affect the people vitally and financially--the people will not be ignored as they were in 1903. The council of last vear had a bad name and earned it. It deserved all that it received in the way of censure ; and condemnation.
