DalILy EDITION. THURSDAY, MARCH 7 THE LIBERAL CONVENTION AND PLATFORM. We print on another page the leading planks of the Liberal platform for this campaign. We have received from the hands of the delegate who had the honor of drawing it the original platform, but are unabie to publish it in full in this issue. The platform itself and the work of the convention generally is very highly spoken of by both the Liberal newspapers of Vancouver. The World says editorially of the convention: .. Singing the National Anthem with the greatest enthusiasm the delegates to the Liberal convention parted at midnight last night after five long and stren- uous sittings, devoted chiefly tc the work of laying down the principles and policy for which the Liberal- ism of British Columbia stands, It was a most remarkable convention. Assembled in what at first appeared the darkest hour the party has known in many years, it was distinguished from the outset by the sanguine spirit with which the dele- gates were imbued. The question as to whether the party should fight or not was answered overwhelmingly in the affirmative. Not only, however, were the delegates prepared to go out against admittedly heavy odds, but they in- sisted on taking back with them to their several con- stituencies a platform worth fighting for, and, as we put it the other day, worth losing for. Counsels of prudence were scouted. Not whether the adoption of a principle would or would not win votes was the ques- tion, but whether the principle was a right principle. They were root-and-branch men, tliose delegates, and hesitated not at all in incorporating in their platform local option, woman suffrage, industrial insurance, the minimum wage and the eight-hour day, the exemption of improvements from taxation, and half a dozen other proposals all equaily radical. The Sun finds the platform to be progressive to that point of radicalism which all progressiveness, especially that of Liberalism, must be. It must be ahead of its time. Only when it fights the battles of the people is Liberalism really itself. Of us well-fought bottles in the past the Sun says: Liberalism in Canada never made a more glorious record than when in adversity, fighting against over- whelming odds for the rights of the masses. Liberal- ism under Papineau, MacKenzie, Brown and many others whose names have added iustre to the history of Canada and the traditions of the great party, broke up the special privileges of the Tory classes. When the party fought the family compact and the privileges of Tory officeholders, when it combatted the pretensions of those who arrogaied to themselves the functions of government and denied the popular rights to responsible government; then the Liberal party was living up to its best traditions. Later, under its present leader, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, in 1896, it went to the country the champion of purity in the administration of public affairs and the advocate of progressive measures, denied the country by the government of the day, it swept into power and for sixteen years gave Canada the cleanest and most progressive government the country had ever enjoyed. It went out of power fighting for a principle—defeated by false cries and false appeals to racial and sectarian / prejudices. The people of Prince Rupert will be glad to find when they read the platform that Liberalism in the rest of the province is not dead, it is not even somnolent, but is a sleepless fighting force making for purity in public life, clean government and the protection of the people’s rights. Rupert Liberals were proud of the result of their efforts at the last general election; they will be in the van of the fight in the present election.

Great Depot on Digby Island Will Be Ready for Operation This Month—lIts Work Is Mapped Out by Victoria Times. When the large marine depot occupancy this month, says the Victoria Times, a new is ready for there to look after the northern waters. At present all the steamers of the marine department operate from work in Victoria, but it is a considerable distance for the ships to travel before reaching the lights and buoys in the north, It is under- stood that the new tender Estevan will be operated in connection |with the Digby Island depot, and that the Quadra and Newington will look after the work on the west coast and the inside passage as far north as Queen Charlotte Sound. The great amount of shipping which is now plying in British waters has impressed upon the Dominion government the necessity of having more aids to navigation established in the north, During the late govern- ment’s regime many lighthouses, beacons and buoys were placed at dangerous points, and the task of looking after the aids has become an immense one. In order to as- sist the regular vessels the de- partment has been forced to charter the steamer Leebro. It is not known who will receive the appointment as agent of the new depot at Prince Rupert. STRANGE MEN INHABIT MARS Most Learned Parisian Astron-| omers Make Drawing of a Mar-| tian Worked Out Scientifically. Has Big Head and Spindle Legs. The Paris Matin publishes a drawing of a curiously mis- shapen person, given as an ap- proximate representation of an inhabitant of Mars. The draw- ing is not one of unbridled, fan- tastic imagination, but is given on scientific observation by Ed- mond Perrier of the Natural His- tory Museum and Camille Flam- marion, the astronomer, who have collaborated on a book, giv- ing the results of their observa- tions of human organism found on the planet. Perrier declares the jure averages 42 degrees. tempera- The | year is twice as long, birds have luxuriant plumage, and there are huge plants and ideal flowers. The picture shows a blue long nosed, heavy eared being with a huge head, bulky chest and spindly limbs. Perrier declares the Martians are acquainted with the noblest delights of intellect, and with the most suave emotions of the soul, eyed, CHOIR’S TOUR Biggest Musical Enterprise in the World Now Drawing to a Close—Chroi Is in Australia After Touring Canada.
