All business is conducted on a spirit of optimism and a@ feel- ing of contidence. Without these there would be no pro- gress, no development. Prince Rupert's municipal works have been tied up because of the lack of public confidence in the present Mayor and his mis- management, Probably the first man to feel the effect of this municipal stagnation is the workingman. Yet Mayor Newton has appointed himself champion of the workingman. Is this another of the political fakir’s arts, or is he too stupid to see his own failure? — CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. Sir George Murray, a mem- ber of the British civil service, who was brought out to this country by Premier Borden to investigate civil service e4ndi- tions here and suggest im- provements, has made his re- port. He recommends that the entire service be lifted beyond the reach of the blighting in- fluence of party politics; that it be placed under the control of the Civil Service Commis- sion; that the merit system be extended to all branches, so that appointments and promo- tions may be made on account of fitness, and that each de- partment be placed under a FARM LANDS Skeena Valley Bulkley Valley —IN TRACTS OF 160 ACRES AND UPWARDS— Carefully selected Lands at Reasonable Prices and on way of civil service reform will licy to offer come out of this investigation | industries t and report.

Any per- son désiring a copy of this ad- dress will receive it at once on writing to the information office. In this address Mr. Rowell gave a careful outline of the work done by the Loberal party in shaping the destinies of Canada, not only in her domestic affairs, but also in her relations with the Mother Country and the rest of the Em- pire, especially with regard to the development of political and trade relations and Canada’s share in the problems of defence. He par- ticularly showed the effect of the Liberal prnciples on the main events in Canadian history—the early struggles for responsible government, Canadian confeder- ation; Canada’s evolution from a colony to the status of a self governing nation, and finally her entry into Imperial affairs with the creation of the Imperial econ- ference. Mr. Rowell laid the noble work done by Sir Wil- frid Laurier as head of the Lib- feral party in this national and Imperial development, and shows that “it was the triumphs of the Federal principle the Liberal principle-—giving local initocdlles to the Canadian confederation as it is today; and it is the extension of that principle to the other self governing dominions of the Em- yerowth and expansion under the growth and expanson under the British system of government of harmonious co-operation with the Motherland that ‘we witness day.” Mr. Rowell’s address through- out is one of keen interest, and should be read by all Liberals as an illuminative justification of their political faith. stress upon to- - Church Services - He Asks for ‘Sample Lacrosse Champions.
