LaBORISM Philip Snowden Was in Turn Re vilecl and Hailed as Saviour Strong Pacifist Was Cripple Rut That Did Koi , Detract From Greatness Philip Snowden, dynamic-; cripple, who "died In'Surrey, Eng land, at 4 o'clock Saturday morning of a heart attack, was the Moses of the British labor movement, the firebrand of its youth, the leavening agent and lawgiver of its more mature years. Heduced to a mere shell of a physical man by an accident suffered when he was only 27 years old, he battled his way from obscurity in Lancashire to hold twice the post of chancellor of Itha exchequer, one of the highest (offices of the British Empire, i Finally forced by his physical ailments to give up his strenuous post after the second MacDonald ! labor cabinet had been overthrown in August, 10.11, he put jon robes of scarlet and ermine I .irul tnnk' i sp.ot in iha hnnco nf amm ' lords as the first Viscount of jlckornshaw. This acceptance of a j peerage added strength "to the I labor representation in the upper house ana kept, his talents at the disposal of the coalition government which had the big task of steering the British Empire through the crisis thai followed suspension of the gold standard At times, in his spectacular career, he was reviled as an athe ist, a destroyer and pacifist. But in his second term as chancellor he was hailed as a saviour of tht nation's honor and treasury. ' In the trying times of the world war t3nowden was regarded as a scourge to British honor. Deeplj pacific, he spoke against not only war as an institution but against the 1014-1918 conflict. He declared that battles settled nothing and least of all the problems of the working classes. iet a decade later the nresa nf all tinges of political opinion in hngland was hailincr him ns n .nl wark bf British' interest when a( J he Hague debt conference he fought off everv altemnt i a rr.. duce Great Britain's share of the1 German reparations navments be. jlow the 22 percent awarded her! at the Spa conference six 'vp.ira won tne respect ot the world at The Hague conference by W'on by Socialism standing up lor the rights of his country and winning out .against some of the world's outstanding diplomatists. Unfortunately for Britain, Snowden was a frail man physically and only his marvellous spirt and tenacity bore him. up and carried him through the various crises of his life. The spirit was willing but the flesh was weak. The Sampling Plant In his speech Saturday night and also in an interview given- the Daily News Premier Pattullo was emphatic in seating that the sampling plant asked for by the mining fraternity of this district would be installed just as soon as it was possible to do so. His intimation was that it would be ready before the miners were ready to ship ore. Wany prospectors and others in the interior are going into their claims just as soon as the snow is gone to prepare shipments for the plant. Dr. J. T. Mandy and Douglas Lay are now going through the district trying to find out what ore is likely to be shipped so as to guage what size nun win oe necessary to nandle the business. j Word received from the interior is to the effect that the miners are much pleased at the assurances of Mr. Pattullo and the intimation is given that they will be there with 'the goods. As stated previously, storekeepers are willing to finance men who can give assurances that they will be making shipments apd will in that way be in a position to pay the bill within a reasonable time. Will Be Useful The sum of $500 promised by the Premier as Prince Jupertjs share of the $5,000 grant made to 'the province by the federal government and to which another $5,000 has been added by the provincial government will be use-iul in a place where there are few playing fields for the children and where most of the youngsters have to play .... ...

He rose' from his bed with npr. manent injuries to his back that forced him to hobble with rubber-lipped canes through the rest of his life. But his drainc fpPt never faltered on the path which he picked out for himself and ultimately they brought him to the front benches of the House of Commons. There he would stand leaning upon his sticks or against a table while from his Ihin lin nmiro,i streams of cold, incisive logic that confounded the theories of his opponents. Nor did he dodge personalities. Thrusts at hU mnfivoa or the sincerity nf Ma brought answering darts of scorn ful rhetoric that generally sent his attackers into a scrambling rush for cover.
