ALL THINGS NEW } The most amusing part of the by-election campaign in Vancouver is the strenuous ef- fort put forth by the Tory press and speakers to hail the Bowser administration as something entirely new, which will per- form miracles in the way of putting the affairs of the prov- ince on a proper basis. There is nothing which has been left Hon. C. E. Tisdall eulogised the Workmen's Compensatjon Act, at his opening meeting on Saturday, but he never at- tempted to explain why Bowser and the rest of the bunch, on two occasions during the past few years deliberately deposit- ed just such an act in the waste-paper basket. His friend Watson also kindly relieved Mr, Tisdall of the responsibility undone, or badly. done, by the McBride - Bowser government which they are not just itching to tackle, They are simply gasping to get at this land problem and fix it so it will stay fixed. They are simply counting the hours’ between now and the passing of the greatest Workmens’ Compen- sation Act which was ever framed. The Agricultural Credits Bill is ready, in fact has been ready for a considerable time, and all it needs is the money. To go back over the files of Tory papers prior to the retiral of Sir Richard McBride is most diverting. There we find that Sir Richard was a heaven-sent administrator who had simply to touch anything and it turned/ to gold. He had simply to breathe his blessing on any scheme and it succeeded. The lands of the province were in good hands and everything possible was being done to bring along the settler. In fact, there was nothing whatever that needed improvement, To improve upon the work of Sir Richard would have appeared like an attempt to paint the lily. Today, Sir Richard is mentioned by the Tories more in sorrow than in anger. His administration has been side- tracked and the word has gone forth from the boss that all things are become new, and that the past must be forgot- for the fathering of the Do- introduced the bill is of little importance; the important fact is that it was introduced, and that by its introduction this fraudulent company was en- abled to get away with the savings of thousands of the working people of’ this prov- ince. Bowser admitted that Tisdall had been ‘lined up” by the late Mr. Arnold. Tisdall is like the little boy who dropped the milk bettle, “I didn’t do it; it just happened.” A lot that should never have been allowed to happen has happened, and every member of the McBride- Bowser government is culpable. Whether it be soon or late, the price will have to be paid, and the sooner the better for the welfare of the province. NOTES AND COMMENTS Hon, C, E. ecouver. In this at least Mr. Tis- dall is perfectly sound, as the the same bunch with the same little schemes for the per- petuation of a corrupt machine to dominate the province. s s s very The Tories in the south are trotting out all the familiar sta- tistics of increases in all lines of business in the province during ten. the reign of the McBride admin- FRED STORK’S HARDWARE | 710 SECOND AVE Carpenters’ Tools Builders’ Hardware Ship Chandlery Wire Cable Stee!
