The same writer says further on: “The assertion that the vote of Mr. Martin against the coal mines regulation bill t session was to favor D' ir is absurd. He voted against it because it was a most unfair bill and would prevent many ‘Canadians and other white people from laboring in mines. The disallowance of such an act would be a thousand times more justifiable than those recently disallowed.” The only people. who would have been prevented from working in the coal mines by that bill are those who cannot read English. The number of English-speaking people who cannot read English is so small as‘ not-to be worth considering. There “may be some French-Cana- dians who would. thus be disquali- fied, but very few. of them engage in coal mining, so that very few would be affected. It is very sad to learn on such eminent authority as that of Mr. Curtis’ scribe that this bill would have been disallowed. The state- ment ‘of Mr. Chamberlain, that a ee nd Crow's’ Nest e bill on the lines of the Natal act Fass gontectice S48 Ry~ | would not have been objectionable, would lead one to the’ opposite con- clusion. The Natal-act imposes an educational test; so does the bill in question. Of course, Mr. Martin’s vote against the. coal mines regulation bill may not have been designed to help Mr. Dunsmuir to keep his Chinamen., But at that time Mr. Martin and Mr. Dunsmuir were po- litical chums; they voted on the same side; Mr. Martin rode ona special train furnished by Mr. Duns- muir; it is certain that the defeat of this bill gaye Mr. Dunsmuir an ad- ded sense of security in the employ- ment of Chinamen and—well, ‘peo- ple have an irritating habit of cor- rectly adding two and two. Still, ]- Mr. Martin may have voted against _ the bill out of unadulterated hatred 3 of the government which fathered it 10 2 and which ejected him from its 17 | 18 midst. Weare not much concern- 24 ed with motives, we are concerned 3! with results. The result of Mr. Martin’s vote was to help to keep Chinamen at work in Mr. Duns. miuir’s coal mines and to keep white men out of them. Fons of discontent and consequent bit= ternoss, by dealing with public works it stive of locality Or political affilla~ would shut out Mongolians and let in white men to the coal mines. The followers will be like the leader. They will subordinate pub- lic duty to private ends of gain, re- ward,frevenge. The people are not interested io Mr. Martin's personal quarrels with-Mr. Cotton and Mr. Smith. They are interested in se- curing a fair redistribution and proper laws to exclude the Orien- tals). When Mr. Martin intrudes ‘his. personal quarrels between the people ‘and the laws they need, he Proves himself unit to represent | 0%, 1M2 Sf WUuth% Stuntia, widow, de= them and an unsafe man to place in | ° any position of trust. —_— EDITORIAL NOTES. work in Rhodesia may only begin BUSINESS LOCALS.
