I appealed on a lii? platform, one was the minimum wage for Kirls and women; pensions for mothers; enforcement of law ami order, such as we had not had in this province. Let me teli you we had a very serious condition of affairs existing down In the city of Vancouver, we had a number tr women who were not living as we would like to see them living,- stippocljiife'.. houses vc did not Jike ttf scr in our midst. Tlil-y were bunched together and taken down to the police court and the judge on the bench seii(eiiced these women to jail in New I Westminster, and they were each given a term and they were sent up there, and what happened? By the time they wot up thereI the Conservative party, which bad power at that time, sent word that they were, not to be admitted to the jail at Westminster and they were sent back again to Vancouver. When peo pie compare the past with the present I would like to ask them if they are not satisfied that W5 nre dolnp our best under adverse conditions to enforce law and order. f Minimum Wage We not our minimum wage lor girls and women, and we have now irt' the neighborhood of 15,000 girls and women in the province who are recipients of the minimum wage. We also jail our mothers' pension bill through the House, and that pen You Should Try II SA1ADA sion bill li my mind ,was one of ine iioi ijuinanc bits of bwisla-tio'rf eiver enacted by any govern ment., rim bill rovers a larger number if dependent' 'worni-n than any bill oil her in the ,. minion of Canada or throughout the Lniled Stales. It is the only measure that takes care of and provides 'for children up to the ane of If. years. That of itself is wonderful. When Hon.

I made my speech in which I pointed out that this was a wonderful and ancient legislation, dating back to the timo of Moses, and I told them the story of the finding of Moses in. the bullrusbes by l'haroah's daughter, and how when the mother of'Moses was brought before PIki roalfs daughter she bade her take the child home, and she herself would see that the -mother was provided with maiu'tenance for the child.

The bill has been in operation now for some lime and we have 1,100 woulen today recipients of mothers' pensions-. The bill takes in widowed mothers; those whose 'husbands are incapacitated in any way, women who have been deserted. The idea of the Mothers' Pension Act is that sinee she is raising her children fdl the stale we are proud to help her. There arc desert e l wives in the province of British Columbia who have been helped not only by the Deserted Wives Maintenance Act but through our. Mothers' pension Act, and if a woman will report before her husband gets out of the province and beyond our leg islalion we mighl be ablo .to make these husbands come back (o assume their responsibilities. I'liforlunately when we broiught down the Act we did not make any stipulations about the length of lime a woman might receive her pension. We found cases of Collusion between husbands and wives, where the husband would go to -Hit Malos.jJiudcl work and the wif woiibr rertiahr'in this-province and draw the pension. We had lo aller the legislation nl a later dale so that women bad to be deserted a year and a half before we could be sure they really were deserted.

We furthermore made special pro visions only about three years ago to open a school for blind, j deaf and dumb in (he province, and in proportion lo our popula-1 lion we have our quota of these unfortunate children. The work sjoinjr on there iu their home at Point I'irey is marvellous. They are learning their trades just the same as other children, being trained at typing and various other branches of industry When they leave that institution they will be able to earn their own livelihood, a thinjr 'never done in the province before. Who have we to thank for it? The Liberal government of British Columbia. They are the ones who are carrying on this work in such a satisfactory manner. Liberal Measures Mrs. Smith then went on to speak of the Dower Act and its benefits to women, the Adoption of Children Act which improved the condition of the orphaned children, the Equal iuardfaiiship Act. all doing away with unfaie discrimination against women and all Liberal measures supported by the Liberal party. "This is the first tune I have had an opportunity of coming to PrincN Huoert and telling yon jusl what we have received at the ' hands of the government' said Mrs. Smith. "II has bee:, my dream all my life In sc these unfair laws removed aiH saie and just laws nut in their plice. but I want lo tell you good women thai it took the Liberal government at Victoria lo put it through and if they have listened lo a woman I was imply the mouthpiece for the women or .British Columbia and to the credit -of the John Oliver (iovernmenl they listened lo what i I bad to say, to my claims ami petitions, and they "gave me the credit of at least being reason able. Bui I wanr lo pay this tribute when you go personally to the (jovernnienl on a reason able claim and tell them just what you have been fared with ami what it means lo women, I want to tell you now that when these measures were brought down on the 'floor of the House there was not a solitary man I hat dared vole against me that hand any intention of going before the electorate at any time. I want lo pay tribute to your northern members lo my good friends Mr. I'allullo, to Mr. Man-son, ami Bert Kergin. I could tell you how these men stood behind me and more than once they have come to me and said' ll, .Mary Kllen Smith, we ar behind you, don't forget.' And all .this''legjslalur..4 ha- gone ... i. .;... ....... through in the interests of women and today it Is our proud boast that In the few .short years we have been enfranchised we have a record that any country might envy. Election Problems And where are we now feder ally -moving out from the smal ler to the larger: we are again lo-day faced with the problem and proposition commonly callel an election and what is the re cord of the government, "past and present? I was asked a quees lion the other night whal about old age pensions? I want to mention that. Some people think this is a provincial measure. II Is ii.ot. II Is a federal nieas ure and Is something over which Hie Province has no control, but I would like lo (ell you what our dear departed leader. Sir Wilfrid Laurler did hi the sprint of ID It. He brought down a measure on the floor of the House called 'The Old Age Pension Scheme' and he said before we put this into active operation we will make n survey of the provinces In this Dominion wi; will find out how many dependents there ar throughout (he Dominion of Canada, from each province, and we will at the present time make il a sort of insurance policy whereby people who wish can make a contribution now and far: uaFLV rikvVa WRtGLEYS A PTE n EVERY Probably one reason for the popularity of WRICLEY'S ti that it hit o long and rtturnt aach great dividend for io until an outlay. It kttpt teeth clean, breath tweet, appetite keen, digeation good. Freth and fulbflavored alwayt In iu wax-wrapped package. w hen they romrt to I lie age of, 05 receive a pension out of the funds iu which I hey have invested, but this is only a temporary arrangement amt in the spring time he said 'If we are returned lo power there is one tiling we will do. We will bring down, afler a survey has heen made, a big. broad, humane old age pension scheme.' As you know, Sir Wilfrid was defeated in the Kali of I'JII on the reciprocity pact. We regret i because today we would have been relieved in the thought that the dependent mother and child would have been taken cure o' by the Old Age Pension Act, in the knowledge that those who had been pioneers in the sctitin. of our country, in their old use. would have been taken eare of Ity the country in which they lived. Liberal Measures When I got the MolheiV Pension Act through I wrote Ot tawa. Mackenzie King was flier the newly .appointed leader of the Liberal party. Mr. Meighes bad recently heen made premier, through the resignation' of Sir 1-rederiek Borden. 1 wrote t then Udli and aked them what their stand was 'on the Old Age Pension Scheme'nnd did they intend bringing down a measure that would make provision fo- our old people. I want to te' you the answer I got from Mr. Meigheu: It was courteous, well thought out, and very well ans wered, but there was no assur- ince thai we were going to havc an utii Age Pension Scheme. Mackenzie King iu his answer to me made Hie statement 1hat tic would, if he came to power, make the survey that Sir Wilfrid haf intended to do, and would in due course of time bring down at. Old Age Pension Scheme that would cover the Dominion o" Canada. At this last session of the House a special coimittee was appointed, represent int.-each Province, arid they were It. report what they had' found In each Province so thai Sir Wilfrid, being dead, still speaketh for the Obi Ago Pension ami that measure is being quietly investigated, and when Macken zie King. is returned to power i: measure will bo brought down it in granting relief tifja number ihisWriyijcN pi Ahv and oh wriirten -wjio Have served theii day ami generation. -We, shall revcLlm'tle tlioughl'.iha! we Jiavi at last' sricceei'lc'ih V -J Enviable Record These are the things that aw engaging the attention of the Mackenzie Kins llovernmenl. We find that one thing after auotlie: is being settled, and their his tory during the four short years they have been iu power is an enviable one. They have reduced the cost of living to even household by 25 per cent.. The have reduced taxation, reduced the cost of implement to farm ers, mining and milling men. I think we are on the verge of an 'era of prosperity such as Canada has never seen. Our Conservative friends talk about the number of bur people who have gone lo the Stales in Hie last few years. This Is nothing new, Ibey have always gone lo (he Stales. ye do not bear any tiling about the people who have come back. They tell us that 752.1)00 people went lo Hie United Stab's, but does anybody tell you that 72,000 have returned this year? They are, coming hack as fast as they go. Why? Because they have a condition ill the Stales that is far from happy. Oreen, who oucceedei (lumpers, made a statement that, the condition existing in lbs L'ulled Stales was alarming. In Die textile works alone there, are 2,000.000 men and women un employed. They have had three reuotlons In their wages. Di jyou wonder that Canadian are hurrying back? II has always heen that when the Stales were prosperous sometimes Canada was not and when Canada was 'prosperous sometimes the Stales (were not. I want to remind you Mlial when "itr-oplc tell you of jiliete things they do nol paint jthe other side of the picture and there is always the other side. Channe Women's Minds I shall conclude by saying that in this campaign thai is now be- i mg carried on do not allow any body lo change your mind. I' have been told in the larger! centres thai il is the easiest thing in the world lo change a; woman s mimt. .My experience is that it i not a difficult thing ilo even change a man's. We women have no need lo apologize! for our attitude, mental or; otherwise, and the best thing we can do is to inform ourselves on' Hie big questions of the day. I am proud to see you good women i of Prince Iluperl interested in I hearing what these laws mean tO us and to see that you are ln ; (crested in Die enforcement of law and order. We all hope that we will be able to work out for ourselves our own salvation.' industrially, socially and every other way. We have been able through the Mackenzie King l iovernmenl to -create surpluses instead of deflclls; we have been able to reduce the cost or living: reduce taxation, and give people a brighter outlook. And we feci that we have every reason lo raise our -head and square our shoulders w hen w e say I lint we are voting for I he Mackenzie King government. t "I sincerely hope that Princ liupert will at least send me a wire and say "Mrs. Smith, we have turned the trick.
