The brotherly love between the United States and Canada would seem to be growing too intense when a serious propo- sition is made to trade off Sec- retary of State Bryan for Pre- mier MeBride. It is looked upon as a fair and equal swap. It arose from McBride's visit to San Francisco and his ad- dress there. The Americans admire the politician who feathers his own nest well and does not neglect the few friends who helped him to do it. Look at the late Mayor Gaynor, an unheard-of Brooklyn lawyer who in some four or five years was able to leave an estate of two millions. Because he did not rob the citizens of New York out of more, they are about to raise a monument to his sterling honesty. Look at Dick Crocker, who, as the boss of Tammany Hall, robbed the same city out of many, many millions, and got away with it to Great Britain, where he has been given everything but a tile. Then look at Dick Me- Bride. Is there any wonder the Americans admire him? They admire him as an un- scrupulous million maker, just as they admired Vanderbilt, whose only speech that lives in the memory is: “The public be d———d.” But would it be an even swap? That we are eager to get rid of McBride the Ameri- cans take for granted; that they are so eager to get rid of Bryan is to us open to suspi- cion. We know him as the man who crucified Wall street on “a cross of gold with a crown of thorns.’ We know he has been a perpetual candi- date for the presidency from that time to this, and that also, in the words of the old song: “He has never DONE anything since.” We might have in Mr. Bryan a do-nothing who would talk us to death. Still, the desire to be rid of oligarchial rule is widespread throughout this province, and it is not only Sir Richard but his immediate henchmen also that the people desire to be rid of. A correspondent of the South Fort George Herald, for instance, writes to that news- paper as follows: “In your last issue an article appeared as coming from some paper in San Francisco want- ing to trade off Secretary Bryan for our prime minister. I don’t know whether that would be a popular movement or not in B. C., but I know one thing that would be a popular movement, and that is to trade off the attorney general, and if our southern neighbors demur at the offer I would give them the president of the Fort Fraser townsite (one of the cabinet) to boot and we might throw in the president of the N. S. Co. too; we could get along nicely without them, and we could use Secretary Bryan as’a living monument to our dear departed. I am satisfied that would be a popular move- ment in Cariboo at least.” a IMPEACHMENT OF BILL SULZER. Conservative estimates put the cost to the people of New York for the impeachment of Governor Sulzer at a quarter of a million dollars. It. will probably run considerably higher. By the time a number of professional politicians, lawyers and notoriety seekers get through with their part, doubtless an extra hundred thousand will have to be shoul- dered by the taxpayers.

The question passed be- yond one of pure engineering and became one of the political ques- tions of the day. One political party, the Liberal party, led by Alexander MacKenzie, contended that the route from the plains to the Pacific was via the then little known Yellowhead Pass and he sent his surveyors into the wilder- ness to lay cut the route. At this present date, forty vears later, the Canadian Northern is announcing that it will have completed its main line withm a year, a line which follows the oid MacKenzie survey mile for mile from Ed- monton to Burrard Inlet, almost without a variation, and the Grand Trunk Pacific is announc- ing that it will have completed within the year its main line which follows the MacKenzie sur- vey for-nearly four hundred miles to the west of Edmonton and reaches the coast by following the first alternative route chosen by the MacKenzie engineers, the Skeena River route, which ter- minated—acording to the explor- ations then made—at Port Simp- ABANDON DEFENSE OF BLUNDER THAT STOOD FOR THIRTY YEARS party, contended that the Yellow- | head route was too far north, and urged that the Crows’ Nest route} was the correct route through the mountains. With the Con-! servatives, then in the opposition, the choice of the southern route became a maite of : li and by all the rules of the game the success of the Conservative | party at the polls should have} meant the choice of the Crows’ Nest route for the first railway across the Dominion. But later, when the Conserva- tive party came into pewer, with Sir John MacDonald at its head, that leader compromised between the claims of the northern route and those of the southern, and chose a middle course by select- ing the Kicking Horse as_ the route across the mountains. After having used the Kicking Horse route for twenty-eight years the Canadian Pacific Rail- way'’s annual report, under date of August 13, and bearing the signature of Sir Thomas Shaugh- nessy, announces thai it not the intention of the directors to is proceed with the double tracking son. At the same time another po- litical party, the Conservative j CONTENDED THAT YELLOW- HEAD PASS WAS MOST FEASIBLE ROUTE TO COAST WHEN CANADIAN PACIFIC WAS PLANNED. along “un- of the main line, at least the more difficult til the Kettle Valley line has been completed between Midway and in 1915, giving an aiter- native line between Medicine Hat and the coast.” It is not often that the test of time will vindicate both parties holding opposite views, but in this matter of the most desirable pass through the mountains it is now plain that both parties were right—that either the Yellowhead or the Crows’ Nest would have served the purpose for a trans- continental, and that the blunder was when a compromise was at- tempted between the opposing sections, Hope, views. Defense of the compro- mise was only sustainable so long as neither of the other reules was tried. Now that the Canadian Northern approaches the coast along the original Mac- Kenzie route the Canadian Pacific, in order to meet it, is compelled complete its Crows’ Nest reute by linking up Kootenay Landing with Nelson and Midwa: with Hope, thus abandoning the defense of a blunder which has stood for thirty years. to Launch Alice B for hire.
