Therein lies the value of a convention. There it select leaders, formulates policies and passes resolutions and the leaders from different sections meet each other and the rank and file meet the leaders. That mixing with fellow politicians is one of the important features of the gathering. They learn the necessity of mass action and get rid of rrovincialisms iuuuiiik uji itKi"ii int'ir leuows. ALL SHOULD REGISTER Those residents of the city who are not registered property-owners must register as householders if they wish to vote at the forthcoming election. The fact that they have paid their taxes does iiui, cnuue mem io ue on me list, mere is more to do than that. They must apiear before one of the city officials and make a declaration. It is a simple thing to do, but quite necessary. Possibly next January they may find they very much wish to vote but unless registered -thoy cannot do so. The time to register is now. Today or tomorrow is the time, before it is forgotten. GOOD SUPPORT vnt I.KAIiph Sir Robert Borden urged his fellow Conservatives to give good auyivn io uie icauer wnen ne is cnosen. That is what some of the Conservative of British Columbia seem not to have done. They urged pr. Simon Fraser Tolmie to take the position and then when he had commenced his work, there was a movement to unseat him and replace him with the former leader, W. J. Bowser. That smacks rather of the methods of the Mexicans. They are never Vatisfied and are always ready to change leadership. The only way to make a success of a party of any kind is to stick to a leader when he is chosen, unless he proves later that he has not the ability for the position. Dr. Tolmie has as yet had little chance to prove himself The weak spot in his leadership i.s that he is not in the Legislature and does not seem to be willing to risk his present position at Ottawa in order to assume his proper position in this province. SUPPORT RIDLEY HOME ?i?fJ is being a9ked from the People f I'rince Rupert for the Ridley 'Home. The place it. different from anything else. It is simply a home to which children may be sent by parents residing outside the city, too far from schools to be able to take advantage of them. It also takes care of children who have no homes. It is self-sustaining, so far as the genera! upkeep is concerned, but tho buildings are provided free of cost. Money is now being asked to provide new buildings in outer that the scope of the institution may be extended. The difficulty with the Ridley Home is that its work is carried on so quietly that many people hardly know that it exists and others do not understand what it h for. A visit to the cottages would be the best means of finding out about it. It is pretty sure that anyone who investigates will decide that this is something worthy of support. .

The expansion in various tines of Canadian business which haa taken place tn the past few yean may be measured in a number oi ways; but to secure any vsry accurste pleure of the ner caolta .iroducUve capacity ot the country, It is neseaaary to have ataUstios showing the aggregate value of all the different products manufactured as well aa the varue cf field a ad mine and forest pro ducts. Statistics of this type are not Available until they re too old to be of much more than Uaterioal value. - KMI'LOVMKNT On August. 1M7. the Dominion Bu reau of StatisUea index number of employment for all Industries reached 100.2 now high level: the index of em ployment in manufacturing reached MS), the highest point since 1920. It 1 Inters ting to note that new high levels have also been attained recently in the employment indices for mining, transportation, construction, service and trade. On July 1, 1M7, the United 8tates Bureau of Labor statistics Index ,ii employment stood at 89.1. Before an attempt Is made to com pare conditions hr the United States and Canada, it is Important to learn th meaning of these index numbers. The Canadian Index number is a comparison of the volume of employment In the cur rent month under dlscivulon and that during January. 1920. The United States index number la a like compari son between the current month and the average volume of employment throughout 1923. In an effort to make a direct (Comparison between these two index numbers and to eliminate the seasonal ,'actor from both indices, Professor Gil bert 8. Jackson of the Economics Deuart- ment of Toronto University compiled tables showing the average Index number of employment by months in both .countries from 1921 to 1925 inclusive. HETrnU THAN V.HI According to these statistics. emDlov- ment in Canada In August, 1927. was 13.7 asove tne average of the Auiusts in 1921-1925. and employment tn the .United States was 2 below the average jor these years. Prom December, 1924, to the present time, there has been a steady and rapid rise in the level of employment in Canada, while from January. 1925, until July, 1937, the level of employment In the United States has not quite held Its own. It has been estimated that between J919 and 1925, the number of wage earners In the United States In manu facturing Industries declined e.7. while me quantity of manufactured products increased at least 23 In that period. On this basis' it Is estimated that output per -worker increased '31 during that period. It i; difficult, if not Impossible, to I secure similar estimates concerning yanaaian industrial production. Cana-jdlnn industrial efficiency in 1910 was I on a somewhat lower level-than that I which '"prevailed in 'the Unlied States. iSluce that time, bqweyejathere na8 been j a rapid increase? per aplta use at electric power In Canada, and this would itiggcflt that the Increase in per capita manufacturing production In the past few years has been as great In Canada as In the United States. When the Increased number of workers In Industry is also considered, one has a remarkable basis for estimating the present level of Canadian manufacturing production.

(continued from page as) ara permitted at all. The Important point to be considered in this oonaectiati. however, is tht fact that the Japanese have placet. their case tn the ttaass of one of the leading lawyers is eastern Oaaada and this ease shortly Is to be plated befen the supreme Court of Canada for 1 decision. They are asking first for 1 declaration that the Dominion govern ment ha oo power to discriminate a between British sublects in the iaau- ansa of fishing licenses, or alternatively tnat the Dominion government has no right to require anybody, whether ha be naturaUeed or not, to take out t fishing liathse. In other words, that the right to Ash shall be ooen to any body aad everybody who cares to fish it tae Japanese should win tktb ease experts point out all that has beau done in the past to make the salmon fishing industry to be a white man's industry will be wiped out and tne Japanese within a, very short space of time would be in, possession of an the salmon fishing operations tn B.C. According the data gathered bv the Provincial Bureau of Information 08 will be understood that Japanese work men particularly In the fishing Indus try are content with standards of liv ing and rates of wages which under no consideration would be satisfactory to tne white man. This obviously makes it particularly difficult for the white man, the Canadian, to compete with the man from the Orient, and It also is well known that the Oriental is being brought and has been brouzht Into Canada on the assumption that he worss ior a very low rate of wage with the understanding that his labor la be ing paid for by the promise eventually 01 Canadian citizenship, quite an Important consideration. .MI CH AT STAKE Incidentally at the nresent time reg ulations are In force whereby Japanese iiamag operatives arc not permitted to work In pilchard reduction plants and next year If regulations at present in force remain operative, no Japanese will be permitted to dry salt herring and operate .salmon salting plants. If the Japanese are auecesefu! In their present campaign at Ottawa, however, it will be understood that these regulations wUl be disposed of completely. Canning Interests naturally are concerned about the outcome of these representations. They think and perhaps not without some reason, that there is a real danger of an Important Industry WW "? - ' I ' S , - r a wn 9.
