Those who fail to register will have no voice in the public affairs of the country. Registration must be made on or before April 7th, 1913.

Canada will, and always must, stand by England, but she must stand by Canada first and last, or betray her heritage ——o THREE HEROES IN PROVINCIAL HOUSE. By some oversight a division was called in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia some days ago, and in that di- vision three government sup- porters turned against the hand that feeds them, and voted against the Attorney General's amendment. These three men deserve special mention, in the opinion of Canadian Collier's. They were Ernest Miller of Grand Forks, 8. A. Cawley of Chilliwack and Lorne A. Camp- bell of Rossland. The point at issue was not exactly a grave one. It was a question whether in a certain bill certain articles should be referred to as “air guns” or as “toy air guns.” The leader of the opposition insisted that “toy air guns’ was too vague. The govern- ment member who proposed the additional word, and who keeps a store in Vancouver, thought not. But on a show of hands the above three mem- bers voted with the loyal oppo- sition of two; that is the real point. No doubt it was an ac- cident and will not occur again. Mr. Bowser will administer the ‘proper disciplinary measures. The episode was a refreshing relief from the monotony of the McBride majorities.

The censuring mat ter has been discussed several times in the house, the oppos! tion charging that Landry was appointed wharfinger in Rich mond County while he was under arrest upon a charge of forgery, and that upon his conviction he was liberated on a ticket of leave so as to permit him to discharge the duties of his office. Mr. Hazen explained that the appointment was a petly one, to which Landry had been named upon the recommendation of Mr, Gillies, the Conservative candi- date for Richmond at the last election, and that he had been removed from office when the matter was drawn to the atten- tion of the government. Hon. C. J. Doherty, minister of justice, said the ticket of leave had been issued upon represen- tation as to Landry's physical condition, and without knowledge upon the part of the justice de- partment that he held any official position. He denied that any po- litieal influence had been brought to bear on the department. Honor Sir Aemilius Irving. Sir Aemilius Irving, K. GC, L. L. D.. was 90 years of age on Faster Monday, and in honor of their venerable treasurer the benchers of the Law Society of Upper Canada gave luncheon to him at Osgoode Hall, Toronto. Although time has left its physi- cat mark upon him, his mind is still clear and keen. He has lived under the reigns of five eigns and even yet he discharges his official duties nearly every day. Sir Aemilius was born at Leamington, Eng., on March 24, 1823, and accompanied his father sover- to Canada in 1834.

Losses Winnipeg, March 31 Fr worse than was even dreamed by the terrible Jumes Dodds, the local police fire reeord which the firebug, set for himself when he made a statement to Chief of McPherson, The maniae asked to have a detective is Police pyro sent to his cell this morning, and on his arrival said he wanted to talk to the chief, as he had been thinking over all of his work and it had been bothering him since his incarceration and to relieve his mind of the load he was carrying. When the chief arrived Dodds immediately began to talk and started by saying that he believed he wished he was responsible for at least 200 fires in Winnipeg and 8&t Boniface during the past two years, The biggest of these which he claims to have been re- sponsible for was the conflagra- tion in the Radford-Wright build- ing March 14, 1912, which caused the death of seven persons, five of them firemen. He said that he and watched the bodies brought out and helped to keep the crowd back. This fire sulted in $250,000 damage property. Dodds also claims that he started the fire in the Rat Portage Lumber Company on May 14 of last year, which did damage to the extent of 840,000 and also the MeKittrick block last summer, which was damaged for a similar amount. On June 21 he says he started blazes in seven vacant houses in course of construction on Kittson street, which resulted in heavy damage. On June 22 he set fire to the new convent being built in St. Boniface and June 26 to the rear of the cathedral. . Dodds also says th@t he started many of the big fires in St. Boni- face and also in Winnipeg, and many minor ones which did not get a good start. His favorite scene of action was vacant build- ings or places which were not carefully guarded and into which he could get without a great deal It is esti- mated that he started fires which in all will total over $1,000,000 damages besides the loss of life stood re. to Suits or Overcoats No charge until Prices far less than a Shops of 6 (LL EXPLAIN On HATS Law! “ou -3€N THAT You ARE MY PRISONER AND T TELL YOU made to your own measure. you try it, and get absolutely what you want. tailor’s— SATISFACTION FAR GREATER.
