Easements In the Tariff British
Columbia Not a Bright Spot for

(t;opyrlgbt.d.,
Ottawa, March 'Oi.-As Tour Moore'.
Canadian beat song puts it. the rapids
are nem and the daylight's past. 1 hat
is to say, the end of for session is in
sight ant • general election lower, on
the boriaon.
Liberal members of Parliament who
have consulted the fortune-tellers
have been told that s dark .nen, witb
thick, Iror,-grey hair parted in the
middle, will cause them • lot of tronhle
either in June or September. This
moat ,near. Premier Bordeu and a
general erection. But when the star
gazers are asked to foretell the Irngl h
of the session they remain silent. It
all depends, ea they say, on bow P.u-
liament feels about it.
1 mi. • my guess if Parliament
doesn't feel toot it might ass well be
talkinguo the sideliner as in 04'awa.
Both sides are preparing for the wont
and. to du that, they must get their
case before the public. As Hansard ie
not a widely read volume and. even if
it wee is not in shape for distribution
until early in the fall, it looks like
tetter policy to utilize the living voice
to influence public opinion and to
plant what you have to say where it
will do most good. In other words,
each man will water his own g.rden
and let it go at that. Swinging I he

in Parliament i. s blamed herd job,
especially when the nes •paper., owing
to the war pressure on their columns,
refuse to print the speeches. This is a
se.sioo In which every member just
natstrally bee a big speech in his
system, • tremendous, patriotic thing
sizzling with latent power like a car-
boy of soda, but if Parliament won't
let him get it off his chest what's the
use of hanging round. particularly
when that speech might be doing
yeoman service somewhere else ?
Bastes, Parliament i. gener.11y •

the .essrose
Too yaee iooe era
of the leaders the rank and 01e ate
uat:ally disposed to cut it short and
save as touch as they can out of their
sessional iodsmnity. Paid by the job,
so to *peak, and not by the day, they
have the frame of mind which goes
with that kind of labor. The less they
band out for board and lodging the
more they have left for themselves.
Besides, the farmer:memte.s want to
get hack to look after their needing
and many other members have occupa-
tions which bring them in almost as
much as their work at Ottawa if they
only hr.ve a chance to stay hone and
mind their own business.
Such is the spirit of thrift in the
('anadian House of Commons, and
when you add to it the prospect of •
general election and the immediate
necessity of mending one's politic.!
fences you ran easily see that Prem-
ier Borden doesn't have to use the
eineure to chest the members away
from Parliament Hill. Bat -kiss is just
a little more than willin By the way,
it's surprising how seldom the ctoeure
has been used since it flratgraced4abese
shote'. Premier Horden tried it on
once and'it didn't *rrnu to be popular.
so he put it away on the shelf where -
he can reach it if need be. Appar-
ently its main punier*. is to give the
Govrenmen4 confidence to r,-inforee
their moral courage, to Itaeh it in the
eye of danger but not to shoot. If it
was unpopular three years ago. it
would M re unpopular now when
the average member of Parliament
likes to feel that he ha' a right to talk
for his country even if he can't bleed
for it. Besides. Speaket Sproul want,
n o more closure riots on bis hands at
this *lege of the genie.
All of which is to say that the clos-
ure Or like certain other fonus of pro-
hibition -the les' it is insi.ted on the
hetet. it is obeyed. Of which perverse
tendency in human nature thi• ses-
sion. drawing quietly to it.. close with

In Parliament was abut genre and that
was overdo soon that nobody thought
of pulling the closure. However. the
closure will come in handy, perhaps
next session, by which time the Ger-
mans will be beaten and everybody
will he keen to take his foot off the
soft pedal. Party hickeringa are not

mustn't get' too far away from our

Meanwhile Parliament is speeding
up. M-n.ing and Saturday sessional
have been called, which in is sure sign
that the end is not far off. The mutn-
ing ...cions are not intended, as some
May, to impress the farmer with the
industry of Parliament. The average
farmer who gets up at 4 o'rrl,.ck in the
morning to milk his eowr and do the
chores .•-sss nothing very impressive in
a Parlisment that gees to work Atli

Feb. e.7, IMUS. Somewhere.
DEAR (3RANUDA11,--Your letter re-
ceived. Many th.r,ki for tem-tuber-
ing use. Have been busy all the time.
No tune to wt its.

where." 1Ve cannot say where. Cen-
sor will not allow it, although 1 have
been in Moth Belgium and Frame. We
have been in the firing line already
and were christened pretty well by
German tootle y. They fired within
unr hundred yards or us ; you can fm -
'gine Targe shell. banting one bun-
dled yards from you.
The trenches ser were in were cony
overnty-flee yard. from the (1i•I1nap
trenches. However, all our company
returned to billets 0. K., no harm
dour.
1'et nor.hip is very strict and we are
notable teurie•nrr,
We arelit billlletednr in zpeata barn, pretty
good but might be better. No kick-
ing. however, all teaselled ; plenty of
strew to lie on and mtufultable at

1'be days here ,bre warm enough, but
it get. quite chilly at night ; rather
cold for .p, ing weather.
I am writing this Oil wy knee, so it
is rather shaky.
We are moving tonight from here to
somewhere else. 1 do not know and
couldn't say even if 1 did.
i cannot say how far we may balm
to march, probably fifteen or twenty-
flve nide.. That ie not far for to after
travelling from Furt William to
EdOrritiP; ihing very noticeable on our
water trips, we. have been favored
with lovely seethe. The Channel
frotn England was fine and it is coo-
sid.-red a rough 'trip.
France is a tine country. what we
have seen of it, likewise Belgium. I
would like to travel over both io peace
time. I could enjoy myself immensely.
Of course, language and money ex-
change have to be learned over here,
but everything comes in time. Now,
as I an not alone to ray very much. I

Ottawa, March 'Oi.-As Tour Moore'.
Canadian beat song puts it. the rapids
are nem and the daylight's past. 1 hat
is to say, the end of for session is in
sight ant • general election lower, on
the boriaon.
Liberal members of Parliament who
have consulted the fortune-tellers
have been told that s dark .nen, witb
thick, Iror,-grey hair parted in the
middle, will cause them • lot of tronhle
either in June or September. This
moat ,near. Premier Bordeu and a
general erection. But when the star
gazers are asked to foretell the Irngl h
of the session they remain silent. It
all depends, ea they say, on bow P.u-
liament feels about it.
1 mi. • my guess if Parliament
doesn't feel toot it might ass well be
talkinguo the sideliner as in 04'awa.
Both sides are preparing for the wont
and. to du that, they must get their
case before the public. As Hansard ie
not a widely read volume and. even if
it wee is not in shape for distribution
until early in the fall, it looks like
tetter policy to utilize the living voice
to influence public opinion and to
plant what you have to say where it
will do most good. In other words,
each man will water his own g.rden
and let it go at that. Swinging I he

in Parliament i. s blamed herd job,
especially when the nes •paper., owing
to the war pressure on their columns,
refuse to print the speeches. This is a
se.sioo In which every member just
natstrally bee a big speech in his
system, • tremendous, patriotic thing
sizzling with latent power like a car-
boy of soda, but if Parliament won't
let him get it off his chest what's the
use of hanging round. particularly
when that speech might be doing
yeoman service somewhere else ?
Bastes, Parliament i. gener.11y •

Too yaee iooe era
of the leaders the rank and 01e ate
uat:ally disposed to cut it short and
save as touch as they can out of their
sessional iodsmnity. Paid by the job,
so to *peak, and not by the day, they
have the frame of mind which goes
with that kind of labor. The less they
band out for board and lodging the
more they have left for themselves.
Besides, the farmer:memte.s want to
get hack to look after their needing
and many other members have occupa-
tions which bring them in almost as
much as their work at Ottawa if they
only hr.ve a chance to stay hone and
mind their own business.
Such is the spirit of thrift in the
('anadian House of Commons, and
when you add to it the prospect of •
general election and the immediate
necessity of mending one's politic.!
fences you ran easily see that Prem-
ier Borden doesn't have to use the
eineure to chest the members away
from Parliament Hill. Bat -kiss is just
a little more than willin By the way,
it's surprising how seldom the ctoeure
has been used since it flratgraced4abese
shote'. Premier Horden tried it on
once and'it didn't *rrnu to be popular.
so he put it away on the shelf where -
he can reach it if need be. Appar-
ently its main punier*. is to give the
Govrenmen4 confidence to r,-inforee
their moral courage, to Itaeh it in the
eye of danger but not to shoot. If it
was unpopular three years ago. it
would M re unpopular now when
the average member of Parliament
likes to feel that he ha' a right to talk
for his country even if he can't bleed
for it. Besides. Speaket Sproul want,
n o more closure riots on bis hands at
this *lege of the genie.
All of which is to say that the clos-
ure Or like certain other fonus of pro-
hibition -the les' it is insi.ted on the
hetet. it is obeyed. Of which perverse
tendency in human nature thi• ses-
sion. drawing quietly to it.. close with

WI a pertinent eta)uplc. Ye., that'*
the s'Ie111n truth -any war there was
In Parliament was abut genre and that
was overdo soon that nobody thought
of pulling the closure. However. the
closure will come in handy, perhaps
next session, by which time the Ger-
mans will be beaten and everybody
will he keen to take his foot off the
soft pedal. Party hickeringa are not
*nod form just now, but they will he
when the sun shines again. We
mustn't get' too far away from our
old habit' --wouldn't he healthy.

Meanwhile Parliament is speeding
up. M-n.ing and Saturday sessional
have been called, which in is sure sign
that the end is not far off. The mutn-
ing ...cions are not intended, as some
May, to impress the farmer with the
industry of Parliament. The average
farmer who gets up at 4 o'rrl,.ck in the
morning to milk his eowr and do the
chores .•-sss nothing very impressive in
a Parlisment that gees to work Atli

be knew that Parliament's dry begins

as object sessonefor the farmer. They
are the outward and.visble sign that
Parliament is going to bolt the hush

its elegy.

DEAR (3RANUDA11,--Your letter re-
ceived. Many th.r,ki for tem-tuber-
ing use. Have been busy all the time.
No tune to wt its.
.cit will notice address "Some-
where." 1Ve cannot say where. Cen-
sor will not allow it, although 1 have
been in Moth Belgium and Frame. We
have been in the firing line already
and were christened pretty well by
German tootle y. They fired within
unr hundred yards or us ; you can fm -
'gine Targe shell. banting one bun-
dled yards from you.
The trenches ser were in were cony
overnty-flee yard. from the (1i•I1nap
trenches. However, all our company
returned to billets 0. K., no harm
dour.
1'et nor.hip is very strict and we are

We arelit billlletednr in zpeata barn, pretty
good but might be better. No kick-

1'be days here ,bre warm enough, but
it get. quite chilly at night ; rather
cold for .p, ing weather.
I am writing this Oil wy knee, so it
is rather shaky.
We are moving tonight from here to
somewhere else. 1 do not know and
couldn't say even if 1 did.
i cannot say how far we may balm
to march, probably fifteen or twenty-
flve nide.. That ie not far for to after
travelling from Furt William to
EdOrritiP; ihing very noticeable on our
water trips, we. have been favored
with lovely seethe. The Channel
frotn England was fine and it is coo-
sid.-red a rough 'trip.
France is a tine country. what we
have seen of it, likewise Belgium. I
would like to travel over both io peace
time. I could enjoy myself immensely.
Of course, language and money ex-
change have to be learned over here,
but everything comes in time. Now,
as I an not alone to ray very much. I
