BRIBERY EN MASSE
Vancouver Province
In the good old days in Canada,
when election time came round, a
vote had its price, and if the voter'
held out he could get his ,price.
We pride ourselves today that the
corrupt old times are gone.' We do
things better in this twentieth cetnt-
wry, we think. But do we really do
better? Or have we merely changed
the technique?
There is a federal election cani-
paign'in progress at the moonset, and'
the issue, as Mr. Ernest LapointeI
stated in the city last week, is the `'
prosecution of the war. Yet a 'sue -
prising part of a surprising number
of- speeches being delivered in Van-
couver and at other points as well
conetsts not in a discussion of the
war, or war aims or war effort Or
war readiness, but in boasts about
money or work or advantages brought
home to the constituency being ad-
dressed or in promises of local ;bene-
fit.
What does this mean? It means
that the candidates who employ these
boasts or who make these promises
are appealing as much to the cupidity
of their hearers as are the candi-
dates in thegood old days when they
paid five dollars for a white man's
vote or warned the cockles of a
negro's heart with a draught from
the little brown jug.
The only difference is that whereas
the cynical old-time campaigner brib-
ed his constituents individually, the
cynical modern attempts to bribe
them in the mass. He seeks votes
not on his reputation as a legislator
or an administrator, not on his abil-
ity, not on his character, but as a
quid pro quo for some benefit he has
already brought or on the basis of
some promise he has made.
This bribery and attempted bribery.
of constituencies is a sordid and dis-
graceful phase of our politics. We see
it at federal elections and at provin-
cial elections. Candidates use it. And
who pays?
The people who pay are the dupes
who are bribed, because no govern-
ment in Canada has any money that
does not come out of the pockets
of the people of Canada, and it is
through some phase of administration
that the bribes are paid, when they
are paid. Quite often they are not
paid at all. The promises are for-
gotten,
It would not be fair to say that
Canada has gained nothing through
the implementing of campaign prom-
ises that involved the expenditure of
public funds. Canada has advanced
quite a distance in a social service
way, and the price paid has often
been entirely out of proportion to the
benefit received. And, more serious
even than the waste of money, the
electorate has been corrupted has
been taught to grab for the loaves
and fishes, not to vote for principles
or then.
NOW WE KNOW
Newspapers in Shanghai are often
rented rather than sold. A paper is
delivered first to a person who must
get to worlo at an early hour. When
he leaves home, the paper is collect-
ed by the newsboy and delivered to a
second reader. This procedure is car-
ried on so long that a week later the
same copy may be in the hands of a
reader situated hundreds of miles
outside the city.
Now we know where some of our
constant readers got the idea of a
newspaper to read without being a
subscriber.
MAIZE RED -TABLE
FOR AN INVALID
Have you got'one of those folding
ironing tables? If so, set it up at
the side of the bed so that the table
part stretches over the invalid. If not
get a wooden box about three feet
long and a foot or so deep. Knock
out both the long sides, leaving the
short sides and the bottom intact.
Sandpaper it and paint it with enamel
and there's your table You may
have to strengthen the ends by screw-
ing an "elbow" joint (obtainable at
any hardware store for very little)
to the ends and the bottonn—inside
box of course.

its occupant in favour of the Grand
Secretary, V. W. Bro. Sydney A.
White, M.V.O„ who is an Honorary
Member of the Lodge; and had under-
taken; in the absence of the Earl of
Harewood, to perform the ceremony
of Installation, as he had already
done last year and on a previous oc-
casion, he invited the assistance of
the Masters of Royal Key Lodge and
University of Birmingham Lodge, in
the Wardens chairs; with W. Bro. T.
Edmund Roberts P.M. as I.G.
"Later, as conclusion to the Oere-
many he had rendered with the silt-
cerity and quiet efficiency -helmeted
to all his work, yet made the more
convincing by the scholarly wording
of the old "Stability" ritual, of which
he is a prominent exponent, V. W.
Bro. Sydney A. White delivered the
Address to the new Master, the
others, being given with telling effect
by W. Bro. Norman Moore A,G.D.C.,
a member of the Royal Kew Lodge
and Prov. Grand Secretary for Mid-
dlesex, and W. Bro. Ernest H. Cooper
P.G.D., to whom Canada Lodge, of
which he is a Past Master, owes much
for its success for many years past
and as Setretaty now may be said to'
be the mainspring of its activities.
To the Canadian community in Lon-
don he is no less well known for his
untiring services in many directions,
while the ,members of the Canadian
Forces themselves have reason to be
deeply grateful to him as the prima
mover and most generous supporter
of the Beaver Club, as "a hone from
home" for theist in London.
"The new oecepent of the Chair,
Bro. Willis C. Cooper, whose instal-
lation had been postponed from Oc-
tober owing to illhealth, as a nephew
of the former, is not without posses-
sing many of the same characteristics
of efficient leadership, as he. proved
at once by his most capable handling
of the remaining proceedings' and
proficiency in the ritual requirements
of the Investiture of the Officers, to
many of whop he addressed personal
comments in the 'happiest terms."

St. Thomas had some hardworking
lads who were a constant source of
worry and fought every inch of the
way. The opening frame seemed to
be a testing time, each team feeling
the other out and occasionally get-
ting away for shots on goal. Both
netminders had some hard ones to
stop and each turned in a splendid
performance. This period was fairly

The Hepburn brothers and MCLaws
proved the most dangerous for the
visitors, while Davey Smith, a husky
man on defence, was aided and abet-

might have been a brilliant perform -
