In a recent issue of the Omine-
ca Miner (the McBride-Bowser
organ) the editor devoted nearly
two columns to a news item that
appeared in the Herald a few
weeks ago. Theitem reierred to
was a portion of a speech by Mr,
Weart, of Vancouver, who advo-
cated that the mining industry
in British Columbia be encouraged
and that the prospectors be as-
sisted.

The Miner states that -Mr.
Weart is ignorant and that. the
Omineca Herald is ignorant also
because it reported the. speech.

An editor who occupies the po-
sition in life that the editor of
the Miner does.is, or should be,
well qualified to ery ‘ignorant’?
at those who endeavor to accom-.
plish something. Why should
‘nota man dup others ignorant
when he himself has utterly fail-
ed as a prospector, a miner, a
‘land staker, a land pre-emptor,
“a political heeler and lastly failed
‘as an editor and publisher of a
small-town paper? The andacity
of such a person to force his
gibberish upon an intelligent, but
long suffering public,

~The Enderby Press, in a recent
issue, remarked as | follows:—

“When the Creator had made|

‘ all the good things there was still
some dirty work to do, so he
made the beasts and reptiles and
poisonous insects, and when He
‘had finished He had some scraps
that were too bad to put into the
rattle snake, the scorpion: and
the skunk, so he put all these to-
_gether, covered it with suspicion,
wrapped it with jealousy, marked
it with a yellow streak and called
ita KNOCKER.

“This product was so fearful
to contemplate that He had. to

make something to counteract it,

He took a sunbeam and put. it in
thé heart of a child, the brain of
‘aman, -wrapped these in’ civic
pride, covered it with brotherly
love, gave it.a mask of velvet, a

grip of: steel, and called it.a

a

newapaner Jord undertook. ‘to in-

form the public and criticised the
secretary for war, ‘with ‘the | re-.
sult that the British cabinet was
shaken up and Lord -Kitchener
was relieved of part of his duties

=|Lord Northcliffe has since’ been

abused by a large portion of the
British press which saw a: possi-
ble opportunity of ‘securing some

| jof the circulation and popularity

of the Northcliffe papers. . There
does not appear to be occasion

for Canadian, papers s butting into
the: discussion ag they. have. No-
thing ‘to gain, . and: the British
press and people are ‘capable of
handling their own, affairs, ‘We
in Canada want results for the
men and money being sacrificed,
and if one man cannot handle the
whole. war two should be appoint-
ed or’ even a thousand, but for.
goodness sake let us get results,

Paris, June 9—Official—On the
Arras sector very violent fighting
continues and we are’ following
up our progress. - There has been
an artillery engagement through-
out the entire day without inter-
ruption. It was of a violent na-
ture in the Font De Duval at Ab-
lain, alsovat Souchee,’ ‘at Neuville
and at Kuere. -

At Vauquois by way of repris-
al we sprayed flaming liquid on
the trenches.of the enemy who
replied with a bombardment.

An attack by us southeast of
Hubert was completely checked.

We carried by assault two of
the enemy's lines on the Tetuv-
ent farm taking 400° ‘wounded as
prisoners, of whom seven were
officers, captured some machine

Germans were found on the field.
A’single German counter attack
was delivered but this was im-
mediately checked:
