Perhaps if he did so he would find a good deal sympathy along the line of a rational move. Whatever may be our opinions of the mayor or the hydro-electric scheme, there are very few who want to bungle up the city's finances. con- BRYCE GIVES TALK ON DANGERS OF EMPIRE (Continued from Page One) However little of added distine- tion a corunet may be able to bring to Mr. Bryce, he will bring much to the peers. “When will they learn To grow up peers to him?” As Sir Edward Grey well said of him the other day: “Through- out his life. he has been interest- ed in everything that is worthy of interest.” There, in a nut- shell, we have one of the main secrets of his remarkable suc- though he has had _ his share of that, but success in character and in a full and ample life. cess, Problems of Empire Mr. Bryce—-at the moment of writing, I do not know, writes a London correspondent, what title he has selected, so accord- ingly speak of him by the old fa- miliar designation—has impse4 on himself a rule not to express an opinion on any matter of either British or American poli- tics, until six months after the date on which he returned from Washington have elapsed. But that self-denying ordinance does not prevent him from reminding his fellow countrymen, although he refrains from pointing any moral, that there is a very largé« number of imperial problems which are, af/this moment, wait- ing solution—dgquestions of em- pire, for the time being without answer. And it is easy to °-e that it is neither the question of defense nor the question of fis- cal relations of different parts of the empire te each other, whieh he regards as the most int-icate. lo him the most difficult ques- principles which the position the United Kingdom, as the ven- tre of the great imperial confed- eracy, constrains it to hold. In South Africa men of British blood and Boer blood are alike LUMBER agreed that immigration from the matter would have to be submitted to a vote, and per- majority This point of view is utterly childish. The opponents of the mayor in the recent campaign were alk in accord as to the value of this necessary change. Perhaps indeed if there was a chance of com- pletely tying the hands for the council for the whole year there are a few who weould be foolish enough to make the attempt. As it is, however, i!

Temperance Legislation There is one subject the government willing to promise tion. And yet that whose advocates have very strong claims on the’ govern- ment’s consideration— the cause of temperance. The li- censing bill of 1908 was one of the best measures for which the government has been respon- sible, and it was incontinently thrown out by the House of Lords. Since that time the Par- liament Act has been passed, but re- seem any Is very un- legisla- a cause it 18 of the err Skeena Land District—District of Coast— Range Five.
