Letters to the Editor |

The Editor. oe

Dear Sir:—It is very difficult to
follow the statements made from
time to time by our publie men,
Politicians, ete, We endure a
xood deal of advice and criticism
from them, some of which seems
to be worthy of our consideration,
but we usually have to exercise
considerable caution and study to
pick out that part which is of
value. It is like the case of many
foreigners, who find contradic-

de
mote

guage—very puzzling.

We are told by some that “we
should practice thrift and econo-
nomy’, We must be pardoned
if we wonder if they practice
what they preach. Some say we
lack the “‘pioneering instinet’’.
Now if this is so, how does it
come about that we find ourselves
pioneering? Do they really ima-

-9{gine the original pioneers had

anything on us? We believe they

s\fix them. A. blank white man
would wire the Dept. of P.W.:

|revert. to this state of aboriginal
[and primitive bliss: We ‘would |

had all the advantages over us
and few of the disadvantages of
our higher civilization and its
drawbacks,

Some are of the opinion we
should be deported, as a useless
encumbrance: Some extol the
Dukhobors as being far better
and. more desirable citizens, as
they live more on the primitive
order, and are not always asking
aid of the government. If the
roads are impassable they. all
turn out, men and women, and

Very well! Let’s cut out. the
taxes and the Dept. of P.W. and
all its “‘sitting army’’, and do
likewise! _ That is the natural
conclusion we.come to. ,
Others advocate that no such

juseless products of civilization

such as English, Welsh, Scots,

{Irish or Americans are of any

value in B.C. That signifies the
British Empire, and those who
claim to be empire builders admit
that they have degenerated into
a race of mollycoddles, To which
they will all agree?

There must be something radi-
cally wrong somewhere. Accord-
ing to these great minds all our
progress of the past century has
been'a mistake. Supposing we
imported these highly desirable,
uneducated cattle, who can be
herded along —especially on elec-
tion time. Just how long would
this blissful political graft last?
Kven the serfs of Russia are fed
up on that kind of paradise—and
where is the Czar? oe

If we have been wrong all
these years, let’s get busy, Cut
out universities, colleges, public

ehanical institutes. ~ Scrap the’
railroads, electric lines, airplanes,
automobiles, electric lights, phic:
nographs, telephones, ‘prepared
breakfast foods, and all manu:
factured articles, and’ eat only
what we can raise, wear only
what we can make ourselves and
