Monpay, AuG. 28 The news conveyed in our news columns of the incident at Port Alberni where the Conservative candidate, Mr. Clements of Van- couver, declined to meet the editor of the Prince Rupert News in public discussion of the reciprocity proposals, cannot be very pleasant reading for those tocal gentlemen who are supposed to obey the Kehest of the Victoria and Vancouver politicians and fight for any outsider they care to nominate for the constituency. It was bad enough to practically inform the people of Comox- Atlin that there was no Conservative within the borders of this thousand mile long constituency capable of representing it in Parliament. It is ironical in the extreme, that the Vancouver gentleman selected for the honor should be so chicken-hearted and so uninfurmed about the reciprocity proposals—the chief issue of the present election— that he had to privately offer as his excuse for his back-down that he ‘‘was not prepared to debate reciprocity in public.”’ It is true that the electors of Alberni and the press of the lower part of the province were chiefly «mused at the gentleman's sudden oozing of valor, and were inclined to make merry at the candidate's attack of cold feet. But that is not the most significant part of the episode. Cobden suffered with stage-fright on an historic occasion, but did yeoman service for the people of England afterwards, and a well-known couplet even endorses the philosophy of the coward by saying: “He that fights and runs away Shall live to fight another day. But he who fights and there is slain Shall never live to fight again.” The chief significance of the episode is not as it affects Mr. Clements but as it affects the future well being of,the constituency of Comox- Atlin. In the case of an outsider like Mr. Clements, the people of the constituency are interested in knowing what kind of a representative he would make for them. They are wondering whether the farmers of West Kent made a mistake or not when they failed to re-elect him after giving him a trial in one session of Parliament. The fact that he should at the eleventh hour after arrangements were completed, refuse a hearing to a speaker who lives within the constituency, and whose financial interests are all bound up in the welfare and development of Comox-Atlin, does not speak well for Mr. Clements of Vancouver as an aspirant to represent the seat at Ottawa. The act convicts him of discourtesy. if true, convicts him of unfitness for office. The man who is not prepared to discuss the reciprocity proposals in public before a Comox-Atlin audience, is certainly not a proper man to send to Ottawa to take part in the reciprocity debate. His flimsy excuse, Fortunately, the constituency has another candidate in the person of Duncan Ross, who is a properiy owner and a voter in the con- stituency, and who is so interested in the reciprocity proposals that months ago, at a time when no one thought of a general election or a vacancy in Comox-Atlin, he undertook to address meetings in Vic- toria, Prince Rupert, Kitselas and Hazelton in order to educate the general public on this important matter. Mr. Ross also prints upon his bills “‘Questions are Invited.” Apart altogether from the fact that it is a thankless job fighting for a man who won’® fight for himself, the electors of Comox-Atlin of all parties will. probably perceive the advantage of sending a man to Ottawa who understands something about reciprociiy, and who does not need to turn his platform into a coward’s castle.

Burman also won the handicap event and free-for-all open event. oo°0 Winnipeg dog fanciers will send a car load of their prize dogs to the Toronto exhibition, where they expect to get their share of the prizes.

In eight playing days in Philadelphia and Boston 179,000 spectators saw the Tigers play. They played to 32,024 persons in Philade!phia in one day and in Boston played the Red Sox before 33,904 fans in one day. The total attendance at the Tiger’s games in Philadelphia was 88,066. o°o°o New Westminster, Aug. 24.— Captain Tom Gifford, the veteran lacrosse player on the world’s champion lacrosse ieam, and one of the best defence men in the game, is confined to his bed suffering from three fractured ribs, the result of a collision with Newsy Lalonde in the game at Recreation Park last Saturday. It is doubtful if Gifford will ever be seen on the lacrosse field again. It was his intention to hang up his stick for good and all at the end of this season, by time his ribs again knit to- gether lacrosse on the Pacific coast for the 1911 will likely be a thing of the past. oo°o0 Newport, R. I., Aug. 24.—Ten- nis experts from all parts of the United States are gathered in force here today for the beginning of the thirty-fifth annual champion- ships. The programmed events are the All-Comers singles and the Challenge Round of the doubles. It is no secret that William A. Larned will defend his title in the singles and it is possible that there may be a repetition of last year’s memorable match in the challenge round when Thomas W. Bundy, the Californian, gave Larned a five tussle. Another player prominent in the singles is Maurice McLoughlin, the young Califor- nian who is the New York state champion, while still another play- er from whom much is expected is Bernard Schwengers of Victoria, B.

This defect can be remedied by cleansing the piece throughly with alcohol. The fluid does not injure black crape and is especially good when used on bleck hats. To prevent white fabrics, such tulle silk choice lace or crape shawls, from becoming yellow when packed away sprinkle bits of white wax freely among the folds. as or evening gowns, GOOD HINTS If fish are iried on the pancake griddle they will not stick and can be taken up without danger of them falling to pieces. When too busy to bandage a small cut on the end of a finger, put a bit of clean linen upon it and then put on a thimble. If a piece of woollen material is scorched, rub the spot with soft bread. When the scorch dis- appears, follow with a soft brush. Not everyone knows that tan shoes can be dyed black. The cost is small and the result is that the shoes will serve through the winter. lf a sweater needs washing, try drving it on a coat hanger.
