If, on the other hand, 'he is determined to follow in the footsteps of his former leader, opposing for the sake of opposition and using no judgment as td maimer or method, he will hardly secure the confidence of the mass of the people of the province. It is to be hoped that he will rise to the occasion and forget the school of politics in which he has been trained. There is a great opportunity for him as leader, for what British Columbia needs today is real leaders. W. J. Bowser Retires After Many Years. W. J. Bowser has been leader of the Conservatives for a number of years and has never led them to victory. He inherited the premiership from Sir Richard McBride and on bis first appeal to the country was defeated. Twice since that he has been turned down by popular vote until at last, even in bis own constituency, he Was rejected. Yet Mr. Bowser bad many good points. He was an inde fatigable worker- "When Attorney General the chief complaint against him was that bewanted to do everything himself. He was not content to leave anything to subordinates. As a lender he has been particularly free from charges of scandal of any kind. He was a good speaker and an incisive critic but be made the mistake of occupying the time of the Legislature discussing minor matters when there were big subjects that required attention. A total" abstainer from alcoholic liquor, he secured a large measure of support from liquor men. Living a moral life he often was supported by those who were loose in their habits and careless as to moral conduct. In his fight for health Mr. Bowser has proved himself a hero. He has suffered from an affection that has required all his energy to combat and a few years ago it became necessary for him to retirjp temporarily to a dry climate to recuperate. Mr. Bowser will retire with the goodwill of his friends and the respect of his enemies, many of whom were to be found in his own party. It is to be hoped that he will find in private life that which he failed to find in his dealings with the public.

Teas Rangers When Tom Mix wasn't in n sol dier's uniform he held other spirited jobs. When he returned from 1 lie Boxer uprising he went lo his beloved West and resumed his old job with the Texas Rangers, chasing outlaws and cattle rustlers. While he drew the pay of a United States revenue officer, he had several experi ences with moonshiners in the hills of Tennessee. He also held down the- comparatively peaceful position of marshal in a little Oklahoma town that, in those days, was trying In rid itself of the reputation of being the Stale's headquarters for cattle rustUrs. Tom, also worked on various ranches as a cowpuncher. In the rodeos each year he never faile lo emerge with the highest honors as a "ridin man," and as a'ropor and cattle thrower. It was hi proficiency in such work that first attracted the attention of a moving picture director.
