EP errr nta is President A TUPPER > The activity of Sir Charles Hib- bert Tupper in the British Columbia elections, and his sincere desire to see the Bowser government defeated, is causing some comment. Sir Hib- bert has been against the Bowser government ever since its formation. He has publicly denounced its in- famous course generally. He op- posed the McBride government, Which ran its course and went out of office under a cloud. He wrote to the press, prior to the last elec- tion, and told the people what he thought of the administration, and all he then said in disparagement of it has since been verified. It takes a strong man to openly criticise the party to which he has belonged, and to compass, or seek to compass, its defeat. It is not, however, conservatism that Sir Hib- bert is fighting, but Bowberism, which is another name for political crookedness, for political turpitude of the most reprehensible kind.

A PLEA FOR PEACE, There are a thousand pities that the truce, which Lloyd George se- cured in Ireland through the co-op- eration of the Irish parties, should be endangered by another display of partizanship. The disa- greement, caused by the Marquis of Lansdowne, an irreconcilable, has more and more dividéd the com- mons, by the practical repudiation of the Lloyd George proposals, and. be- come acute in the extreme, The thing that by general consent contributed more than anything else to the discontentment of Ireland, and the outbreak of the Sinn Fein- ers,castly rule,is being restored, and the Nationalists protest against it in the most vehement language. Mr. Asquith was in perfect accord with the agreement on the outstart, and the Lohdon Chronicle quotes him as saying that there "would be no shackling of the Dublin Government with pettyfogging and humiliating restrictions. such . the would-be wreckers of the settlement are cud- gelling their witts te elaborate and multiply." There is a good deal of force in the contention that Ireland 'forgot her troubles in the war, and made the greatest sacrifices in behalf of Britain's cause. Some of the most herole service is being rendered by the Irish at this moment, and the Chronicle, a liberal paper and in closest tough with passing events, counsels that generosity, not coer- clon, will secure the loyalty, which the government seeks. The Toronto World, Conservative, says that Dr. Pyne, like Hon. Mr. Hearst, has gone off for the good of his health, politically. If the doctor would go off somewhere for good, so far as the government is concerned, no one would kick very hard. THE CASEMENT PENALTY. Roger Casement had his friends up to the last. They were not his apologists. The petitions sent from the United States were understood. Politics rather than diplomacy sug- gest representations which please certain persons or groups, and they cost nothing, not even a twinge of conscience. The British premier acknowledged the receipt of many communications, but neither he nor his government undertook to consider them and for the purpose of recommending a clemency which the circumstances did pot warrant. The British courts of justice have the reputation of reaching wise and just conclusions, and when a cenviction is rendered it usually stands. The finest tribute that has yet been |" paid to the impartiality of the Eng- lish bench was that of Dr. Sullivan, of Philadelphia, who was summoned to defend Casement, by the prisoner, and who, on reaching America, re- to the courtesy he had re- and the fairness with which the case of his friend had been con- guilty of a hein- offence, one which did not ad- mit of any palliation, it was impru- if not impolitic, of any one to for royal or political inter- and the silence of the gov- upon the appeals for mercy with it a meaning the peti- will never forget. or ------ The Grand Master of the Orange ~ ~Order has been criticized because he commended the Borden government in its prosecution of the war. © all thit belongs to it? Ang all Gen. Hughes has done? Surely not. leader of the opposition is not dis- puting the tenets or principles of the conservative party. He is disput- ing the right of -the most corrupt combination that ever held office to continue in power and to misuse it in the most shameful way. The appeal of Sir Hibbert Tupper, Jointly with H. C. Brewster, to the Canadian soldiers in England, who are to be allowed to vote in the elec- tion, will surely be attended with re- sults of the most surprising charac- ter. ---- The minister of education is off for another season of rest in Europe. He is certainly not wearing himself out in the public service. | , L OUR MEMORIAL DAY.

How thankful the British | everywhere must be that their ef-| forts, in conjunction with the efforts | of the allied powers, have been suc-| cessful in holding the invading Germans in check while they pre- pared for the driving back and defeat of these invading hordes. The first thought is of the thanks that are due to Almighty God for His guidance and sustaining power, for surely He has been with the Allies and will crown their labors with success. Then we pause again, we of Bri- tish connection and red blood of the British race, to pay homage to the dead. Our Empire has sacrificed some of its best life, and represent- ing every class and condition of so- ciety, in the earlier stages of the conflict, when the ravages of battle superseded the ravages of to-day. The nobility of the race has fallen in the defence of purity, of rightoeus- ness, of virtue, of fndependence, of Justice, and we bow in honest and heart-felt gratitude for these accom- plishments. History may record the meaning of this war in many senses. It cannot put on record the obliga- tions of the living to the dead as [KGS TON EVENTS 26 YEARS AGO H. D.

Some of the most prolific war pro- fiteering in Canada has been put through by Canadian knights in close touch with the political tool shop on Parliament Hill. One Tor- onto knight boasted in a stock boost- ing circular of having made a profit of $200,000 on an order for machin- ing 100,000 eighteen pounder shells; the total cost of the work amounted to $180,000 and the Dominion Shell Committee awarded him $380,000 for doing it--With more war fat fol- lowing. 2 When knighthoods have been con- ferred upon Sir Richmond 'Roblin, Sir Richard McBride, Sir Rodolphe Forget, Sir Henry Pellatt, and other comrad in. arms and ammunition and boris of empire (guaranteed), what can the King do to honor a plain man like Frank Baillie, presi- dent of the Baillie and Wood Com- pany of Hamilton? The company under the name of the Canadian Cartridge Company, has manufactu- red one million 18 pounder cart- ridge cases and handed back the sur- plus of $758,148 above cost to the Imperial treasury. The Dominion minister of militia, Sir Sam Hughes, thanked Mr. J. Wesley Allison from the Government side of the House of Commons for the services he had rendered. What public recognition is the Dominion government preparing to give to the firm of Baillie and Wood, or to Mr. Frank Baillie, of Hamilton? Will there be any honor in receiving re- cognition from such a source. SER ii i i i ee BLOODGUILTINESS IS CHARGED. Toronto Wiarld (Conservative). For years the government has been telling the people of Ontario that it is not expedient to clear the agricultural land. We have been assured that the timber was a rich to live among it. The lesson was given in 1911, but the government continued their old: system. The lesson is repeated. Must it be re- peated again? Here is a para- graph from a report. It merely echoes the spirit of the messages sent constantly for ten years past: "Terrible as has been the loss of life, and the toll is daily mounting, there are features of the terrible for- It is interfering with the Navy; est fire which are not without their mmm n. emt Random Reels "Of Shoes and Ships, and Sealing Wax, of Cabbage and Kings." THE BOARD OF TRADE they are known and felt to-day. Our last thought is of the faith that has moved our fathers in the struggle, and the faith that must move us if the conquests of to-day and the immediate future are to con- tinue for our good. The Kaiser lifts his voice betimes to intimate that he is the humble instrument of the divine will in this war. He deceives himself. Let us avoid his foolishness, his sin, by profess- ing something that we do not know know or feel, but, in humble depend- ence on the Supreme Being, pursue our service to the pation faith- fully and to the end. * EDITORIAL NOTES. A referendum cou.d have preceed- ed the enforcement of the Prohibi- tion Act. The liberals did not ob- ject to it. The government pre- ferred, however, to act first and ask the people what they thought about it afterwards. The Japanese ambassador at the Court of St. James says that Japan has supplied the Russians with most of the munitions with which they are smashing their way in the east. In this way Japan gets even with an The Board of Trade is a plas where men put down money and guess how far No. 1 wheat will jump inside of thirty days. If the jump fails to shatter any of the existing records several embitered operators drop off the board in a noiseless man- ner and apply arnica bandages to their wounds. It costs a great deal of money to get on the board of trade, and some- times it costs several times as much' to get off. Every year some new, brash member from the far west is admitted to membership by paying $50,000, and repeating one of Jesse James' favorite passages of Scripture, and a few months later retires by the rear door with a vast amount of helpful experience and a check book shot as full of holes as a coffe strain- er. Nobody ever joined the Board of Trade with the pious idea of show- ing up the old members without breaking down in the middle of the third verse and backing off the stage with a wan, pinched look. Bucking the "Board of Trade con- tinues to be the favorite pastime of sanguine citizens who have access to other people's money and who al- ways know that mess pork is due for a phenomenal ascension by Septem- ber 1st.

It would be easy to organize a clearing force, and the increased value of the land and the additional inducements to settlers to locate in Ontario would be the immediate practical reward of such a policy, not to mention the removal of risk to human life.
