Every- one who reads this will feel deeply grieved. Father Duncan, a young graduate from Dublin’ Uni- versity, came out to this part of the province as a mission- ary and for some years labored among the Indians of the Skeena and the interior. Fifty- seven years ago he started a mission of his own across Prince Rupert yharber, and labored there for thirty years. By that time his plans for the is advancement of the Indians had matured and he felt his efforts were bemeg cribbed, cabined and confined by the red tape of the Canadian govern- ment. Then he applied to the United States government and they gave him for his purpose Annette Island. What the re- sult has been is history. Separated entirely from con- taminating white influences, his community at New Metla- katla has prospered in a won- derful degree. The church and educational buildings, the workshops and the cozy homes and gardens from such a com- plete scene of community pros- perity as is rarely if ever seen. In all books of tourist travel to the north New Metlakatla has for years held a foremost place as one of the show places of Southeastern Alaska. The trained carpenters and other workmen he has turned out from his schools are welcomed by employers everywhere along the coast. They are so sober and steady,*so courteous and such ‘masters of their tools that they are often preferred to whites at such large places as the Treadwell mines. How does this compare with Old Metlakatia or any other of the Canadian agencies, many of whom may have had mission- axiaygaD Thursday, Nov. 20, Bureau, 219 East 23rd St., New Syndicate, Graud Trunk Building, Contract 1913 ary ministrations for a similar length of time? Yet these Indians who owe all they know of advancement to Father Duncan would now thrust him on one side like a squeezed orange. He is in his eighty-fourth year and has ue- voted fifty-seven of these years to. the spiritual and intellectual growth of these Indians. Fifty- seven years of self-sacrifice and devotion altogether ig- nored. It is a pity and a shame. They might have bottled up their ambitious im- patience for but a little while, and permitted him to end his labors where he started them, beloved and revered by all thinking» people. ————0 THAT LITTLE RIFT WITHIN THE LUTE. The Medicine Hat. Times sternly rebukes Hon. Dr. Roche, minister of the interior, for spending his time making elec- tion speeches in support of the Roblin government instead of in the administration of his department. The Times, be- ing a Conservative paper, does not so greatly object to Dr. Roche speaking for the Roblin government, though that po- litical offence alone should be bad enough, but it believes that there is much of un- finished business in the de- partment to keep any adminis- trator busy most of the time. For instance, not very long ago Dr. Roche visNted Medicine Hat and other points in the west and at the Hat and else- where was waited upon by dele- gations who urged a rebate of pre-emption duties. The usual departmental consideration was promised. Months elapsed and no action has been taken. “This conduct is apt to injure London, Noy. 17,—James Lar- kin’s invasion of the English labor world, which began at Man- chester yesterday, is chiefly not- able for his ecstatic exclamation “Damn the British Empire,’ and sneers at the British labor leaders. The critical moment will come tomorrow when the Trade Union Congress will meet to dis- cuss the Dublin situation with Larkin and the deputation from the Dublin Trades Council. The English leaders are using all their influence to discourage sympathetic English sstrikes, as they are bound to end in anarchy and disaster to labor’s best in- terests. All the same, the growing an- tagonism between the National- and Laborites may have political consequences. chief English Labor organ his ists grave The GROWING ANTAGONISM BETWEEN NATIONALISTS AND LABORITES TRADE UNION CONGRESS TO DISCUSS THE DUBLIN SITUATION WITH LARKIN—REDMOND WARNED NOT TO AN- TAGONIZE VOTE OF WORKINGMEN. and Reynolds newspaper attack Nationalist capitalists in Dublin for callous disregard of griev- ances of the Dublin workers, and warns Mr. Redmond and other jleaders of the serious conse- quences of alienating the English labor vote. The Times strikes the same note when it says: “The eynicism which actually led Mr. Redmond to boast of the wealth and prosperity of Dublin when that city is on the verge of temporary ruin, when thousands of its people are near starvation, when 70,000 of its inhabitants are dwelling in one room tene- ments, may go far toward un- doing himself and his party. Mr. Redmond deliberately proclaims at such a moment the riches of Dublin, but does not move a finger to relieve the misery of its citizens,” The old controversy, which has recently been revived by an or- der issued.to the U. S. navy by the secretary of the navy, Mr. Daniels, over the nautical ex- pressions “starboard” and “port” was tentatively discussed by the members of the Vancouver Ship- masters’ Association at its meet- ing recently. No action was taken. Captain Wilbur emphatieally denounced the present ‘“star- board” and “port” orders as mis- nomers and antiquated. They did not mean what they said. When a man rolled the wheel to star- board a ship should go that way. He believed that if the new rule was adopted simultaneously all over the world the younger gen- eration of seafaring men would catch on to it at once and the SHOULD STARBOARD AND PORT BE RETAINED IN SHIP ORDERS?

The French had tried the “left” and “right” principle and had made a mess of it. It had been tried in the Suez Canal, but had not been a success, Captain Stewart believed that on the whole it was now in the most workable shape, although he agreed that the expressions were misnomers, The discussion inevitably merged into a controversy about the rule of the road on land.

Ottawa, Nov, 15.—The threat- ened strike of the longshoremen ‘at St. John, N. B., which would have tied up shipping at the opening of the winter season, has been averted. Word was re- ceived yesterday that the board of conciliation which was ap- pointed last week to investigate the trouble had recommended terms of a settlement to the companies and men involved and these recommendations have been accepted by all concerned, Old King Cole.
