SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15; 1919 In the Legislature. The member for Innisfail on Friday took the members back in thought to the dawn of modern history, when the ancestors of the British and related peoples migra- ted into the coastal regions of Northern Europe: They were then democrats, with the parliamentary institution, developed and opera- ting a system of popular govern- ment. But they fell under re- actionary influences and in time became serfs. The moral of the recital of this chapter from the ages gone was that there is some danger of reactionary influence gaining control in Canada, just as it did over the self-governing-an- cestors of our people. That the) menace was not imaginary he brought home to his hearers by the statement that when the last Do- minion elections were held.a mem ber of the Legislature had to plead , with election officials for an hour to be allowed to vote, and was finally allowed to cast his ballot through the courtesy of the re- turning officer. When the fran- chige of a man representing the majority of the people in a pro- vincial constituency was thus in- terfered with the reactionary process would seem to be.a pres- ent rather than a prospective danger. He was in favor of a cash grant to the returning soldiers as sug- gested by the member for Hand Hills, But when that had been given the country would not have discharged its debt to them: that could not be done. He suggested that if the artificial increase were removed from what the farmer has to buy and the embargoes lift- ed from what he has to sell the resultant prosperity of. the farm- ers would be reflected in bettered conditions in the towns, and a practical move made toward the re-establishment of normal condi- tions. The Attorney-General followed. He dealt at length with the ques tion of the control of the natural regourees.. The matter could not be settled by a process of calucula- tion. A bargain must be made to which the Dominion Govern- ment would consent. The western provinces had made 1 proposal. Tt was now for the Dominion to accept it or to make counter- He thought the pro- vinces would get the control of the resources when the western contingent in the House of Com- mons was large enough to threaten the existence of the Government and resolved to stand together and back the province in their demand. The western members it may be noted are already numerous enough to threaten the existence of the Government if they chose to demand the resources as the price of their support. Mr. Boyle dealt at length with the enforcement of the liquor law. He pointed out that the responsi- bility for this branch of the ad- ministration did not rest particu- larly with him. The enforcement f the liquor law had been put in charge of the provincial police r. commission which was an -inde- pendent body. During th: year 93 arrests had been made on the charge of drunk and disorderly. Sixteen were convicted and seven acquitted. . That so few were brought to trial he considered proof that the law was being well enforced. Altogether more than seven hundred cohvictions had been secured by the. provincial police during the year for infrac- tions of the law. The liquor law, he pointed out, was difficult of enforcement for the reason that the authorities had not the assistance that is given them in other cases by parties cognizant of offences. When some- thing is stolen the party who suf- fers hastens to tell the police, and helps them to apprehend the thief. statement which the member for Glaresholm declared she and the juniorsoldier representative could not credit. Of those who vidlate the act how many are prepared to go into the witness box and state what they know, or to tell the police? Yet unless some one who knows tells them, the police can- not know that the law is violated. There was only one way, he be- lieved, by which the people of the province could secure the full measure of results they had de- sired from prohibition; that was for the Dominion Government to absolutely stop the manufacture, importation and storage of liquor. The House warmly applauded the declaration. Notwithstanding the bootleggers and the mis-use of doctors pre- scriptions,-prohibition had tremen- dously lessened drinking in the province. Under the license sys- tem there had been bars in the larger cities whose dvily income was a thousand dollars. There are now two Government liquor ven- dors, and since the amendment of the act at last session their sales had not averaged that much per day during ny month. Making a large allowance for th. bootleg- ger s activities he did not believe the liquor now consumed in the province was twenty-five per cent, the amount consumed under the license system. It was the intention of the Gov- ernment to make the province as dry ? as was possible, and to that. end amendments to the act would be introduced at the present session. Mr. Davidson, member for North Calgary, congratulated the leader of the Opposition on his selection for that important position, but wafned him that political life was beset with disappointments, and Feounselled resignation if he did not achieve the ambitions which commonly animate the holder of such place. He condemned the party caucus as a dangerous innovation. He hoped that the last provincial conference had been held on the subject of the natural resources, and that the forty-three members from the prairies would do some- thing more than they bad yet done to back up the provinces demands for,control of these resources, The question. of how the re- sourcesq vere adi..inistere? was as important as the question of by whom, and he hoped that when the provinces secured control the r sonrees would not be alienated, but kept and developed - under direct Government control. -He intimated that the gas com- pany were makin large profits by holding up the consumers in Cal- gary an expression which ill interest the people of Edmonton at the present juncture, when a rela- tive of the Calgary company is trying to find ways to break its contract with this city and boost rates even before it has begun to supply gas. The liquor act had been enforc- ed better than people expected but not so well as:they had hoped. He could not agree that sixty per cent of the men in the province had violated the law; did not think the offenders were more than ten per cent. The provincial police should not be under an independ: ent commission, but a responsible minist.r He thought people should think more of. what they had gained through the war and lesa about what they had escaped, proceed- ing to apply the idea to education, hospital facilities and the nation- alization of the medical profes- sion, - THE BRITISH WAY Winnipeg Free Press: * At the recent convention of the U. . i Edmonton, J. W. Leedy, in speaking of banking, declared that Great Britain's deas of finance among other things were entirely behind the times, in) fact, Britain was not awake. No one challenged thie statement at the convention, but it Is pretty safe to surmise that Mr. Leedy's country- men.engaged In the shipping business hold an entirely different opinion of Great Britain at the present time, Their complaint is thay while they thought to get up sufficiently early in the morning to keep pace in the ques- tlon of merchant marine. and other matters, Great Britain has atayed awake all night with somewhat disas- trous results to their business. They are complaining now that Britain is not using them well, because she has cut the rates on ehipping 66 2-3 per cent..and they are meeting this cut with somewhat sore hearts. Worked Both Ways.

A Campaign of Reconstruction The Salvation Army has opened campaign to raise 30,000 in Northern Alberta, The purpose is to enable the Army to finance the maintenance of the Army work on behalf of Canadian forces over- seas, so long as that work remains necessary, and to finance means of receiving and caring for the sol- diers returning from overseas and their dependents so far as that is practicab' within the scope of the Army s work. The Northern Alberta campaign is part of a na- tion-wide effort to raise a million dollar fund for this purpose. Three-quarters of a million east of the lakes and a quarter of a mil- lion west of the lakes, The great- er part of the amount has already been raised. Thirty thousand was asked from Southern: Alberta. This has already been raised. The Army in Canada did not take part in war service at the front in the earlier years of the war as a distinct organization. The Army organization in Great Britain took full responsibility for service to all British forces at the front until the spring of 1918, The Canadian organization assisted as a part of the British plan. But in the spring of 1918 the Army in Canada took over the service at the front in connection with the Canadian forces, and it is in sup- port of a continuation of that ser- ice that the present appeal is primarily made. Peace is not yet signed and the date of return of the Canadian forces is as yet un- certain. There is need now more than ever for rendering the men remaining overseas the ser- vice that the Salvation Army is especially fitted to render. That service will only be withdrawn when the Canadian soldier leayea Europe for home. Tn view of the fact that, as the outlook is at present, the greater and as well the immediate need is the care of men returned and returning to Canada, who find conditions changed from those they left, and being themselves changed in temperament and out- look, are apt to drift, and so need a measure of consideration that under other cireumstances would not be thought of. The proposed plan of campaign is to have all ships bring soldiers or their families home but at the port of landing to offer any: assist- ance that may be necessary and possible especially to the depen- dents of the returned men. ceiving homes for the use of wives and children of returned men will be established at the several At- lantie ports, Hostels will be established at.all interior domobil- ization points where beds will be if available at 30c a night and up- wards. There will be a library, reading room and. employment burean in connection, and in some cases there will-be a restaurant in connection, home, very much on the lines of the Army Huts overseas. Pro- vision will be made for the care of orphaned children of soldiers, so far as the resources of the Army. will permit. the) Salvation Army for the sol- dier at the front will be continued on his behalf after his discharge. The Army acts as steward for the public in rendering service that its/ organization eminently fits it to render, a service that is never pushed forward, but is always at hand if and where needed, and that cannot be rendered except by some such organization. The record of the Army in peace and in war is one of service and is en- titled to hearty public support, The Strain of Overwork Your work is heavy, and sore, tired muscles are a common cecurrence. Each time your back aches you blame it om your work, and just there the danger lies for that pain in the back may not be from strain, as you sup- , but the forewarner of Kidney 6e Bladder trouble.

It may even become necessary to re- new some or all of the official mea- sures taken at that time to pre- vent the spread of the disease and assist in the care of its victims. In the meantime the call upon the individual to exhibit the spirit of neighborliness on behalf of those striken with the malady is urgent, and rather tending to become more 6. Letting It Ont. An interchange of views is oc- curring just now between the Deputy Minister of Justice at Ot- tawa and Judge Langlier of the city of Quebec. The Department of Justice, it appears, complained to the Attor- fney-General of the province of Quebec that defaulters under the Military Service Act were being allowed to plead guilty before Judge Langlier, and were being let off with nominal fines upon do- ing so. The judge responded that he was taking this course in deal- ing with the defaulters under in- structions from the Department of Justice. The Deputy Minister has denied this and demanded to Imow from whom the instructions came. The reply of the judge is that they-were handed to him-by an inspector of the Dominion Police. it would seem, has spilled the beans as to the way the Military Service Act is being enforced in the Province of Quebeo. The Result of Inaction. Last week a train-load of live stock, valued at 85,000, left Ed- monton for Minnesota. The cattle will there be distributed among farmers who will fatten them for beef. The reason the United States dealers and farmera are buying these cattle in Alberta is that they see an opportunity of making a profit by finishing them for mar- ket.on the other side of the line. If it is profitable for United States farmers to buy Alberta cattle and fatten them for market, it should be equally profitable for Alberta farmers to fatten the cattle them- selves, more especially as the cli- matic conditions last summer tend- ed to produce here a large amount of grain which can be more profit- ably utilizedin feeding stock than in any other way. But that the, Alberta farmers are willing to sel TIE FOR SORE, TIRED FEET-An Tiz is grand for aching, swol- len, tender, calloused fect or corns Ah? what relief.

Think of it, their cattle in an unfinished con- dition is because they do not see even with the damaged grain. The difference between the posi- tion of the Minnesota farmer who finds it profitable to fatten Alber- ta cattle, and that of the Alberta farmer who does not find it profit- able to fatten his own cattle, is due to the fact that the Govern- ment of the United States has found a market for United Stat, meat products in Europe whi the Canadian Government has not found a market there for Canadian meat products, BUSINESS AT HOME Toronto Globe: * Sir Robert Borden, tt is afinounced. may not meet the Russian delegates at Princes Imlands of chief of the Al- Hed Mission, The Russians fieht shy.
