One ad ge of the di
ance of the British Columbia laws
against Asiatic labor is that it im-
poses a moral obligation on the
federal government to deal with the
subject effe ly and np

_ Sisely at this session of parliament,
.In fact, Sir Wilfrid Laurier has
pledged his government to take
action by announcing as a reason
for striking out of other bills
clauses against Asiatic labor, that
the government would deal with
the whole subject in a_ separate
bill.

Yet it is doubtful whether any
effective measure will be passed.
W. B. McInnes M. P. is quoted in
the Nanaimo Herald as saying that
‘Sie did not believe the measure
would be anything more effective
than an increase of. -the -head tax
from $50 to $100, which was en-
tirely inadequate.” As ‘a ground for
this belief he stated -that hé had in-
troduced Several bills for the -pur-
pose of restriction, but the goverre
ment had refused to entertain any
of them. Among these were the
Natal act, which was..open to none’
of the objections urged against
other measures on the grounds of
imperial policy, for Mr. .Chambef-
lain himself had recommended:it as
being open to none of these ‘ob-
jections,

It is apparent that the federal gov-
ernment is only half-hearted in its
declared purpose to deal with this
subject. It does not: realize the
vital importance to British Colum-
bia of checki the J: inva-

has entered. -. Should it at: any time
show a disposition to wander again,
‘we will:gently lead 1t back:into the
right path. It has made a good
heginning..and.. shows the. proverbial
‘zeal of a new. convert., May that
zeal continue, .

In reply to his recent telegram
calling the attention“of Col. E, G.
Prior, M. P., to the mistakes in his
statement in parliament. in relation
to the smallpox in this city, Mayor
Goodeve yesterday received a letter
from the colonel dated May 5, say-
ing:

“*Your wire re! my ‘statement in

"this house as to smallpox in Ross-

land came duly.to hand. - l- imme-

place and inform the house that my

and I read your. telegram stating
that the isolation hospital had been
closed for three weeks. » I'am glad
you wired me as-I had no doubt
whatever that my information was
correct. It wasa well-known gen-
tleman just’-from- your~.city - that
gave me the-news, so I had no rea-
son'to doubt it. “However, I am
very glad to hear that he was

ing such a’statement.”
