As for the parties being rotten, it isto be remembered that a good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit; neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

The resultant of all the selfishness working at high pressure is apparently to give good goyernment. The re- sultant of all the colors in the prism is said in the school books to make a white light.

For the second time the. House of Com- mons passed the bill, and thus gave. the B.C, attorney-general the power to deprive the. public {of their rights: to import liquor ‘for their own use, ~— But the senate is likely to again take a 4 sane view of this bill and turn it down until such time as the pro- minion goyernment have a man- date from the people of British Columbia. It would be very dangerous to give such power to one man. The liquor being imported now, or at least sold by the provincial vendors, is none too good, and it is a safe bet that it would be very much worse were the people not allowed to import their own, The tempta- tion to bleed the public of another dollar or two profit would be too great. About the-only protec- tion the people have is the privil- ege to import their own liquor any time the government stock goes below par. Forests and C.N. ‘Tf any man wants to add to the burden of the Canadian National Railway let him start a forest fire,’”’ declared Sir Henry Thornton, president of the C. N.

I appeal to every Canadiah to pro- tect the forests.’” The Canadian National Railwavs are provided annually by the forest resources with eleven million tons of treight traffic. All the Canadian railways, public and private owned, carry over twenty-two million ‘tons of freight traffic a vear, derived from timber, pulp wood, and other forest products.
