It is angry with the convention for not coming out. with a flat-footed: en- dorsement of the eight-hour law and tries to show inconsistency between the endorsement of Charles Wilson, who has an_ eight-hour plank in his platform, and. the fail- ure to endorse the eight-hour law. J. Fred Hume, when minister of mines in the government which passed the eight-hour law, promised investigation of the workings. of the law and then tried to suppress the letter making that promise. Premier Martin in his platform promises investigation of the work- ings of the law. The resolution of the Conservative convention says: “It will be the function of the gov- ernment to carefully investigate the working of the laws dealing with the industrial conditions.” This was intended to include the eight-hour law among others. There is evidently a very general agreement that the subject is one for investigation rather than en- . The Semlin govern- TO ADVERTISERS. New reading matter makes your advertisement attractive.

Our neighbor of Grit proclivities is terribly worked up over the de- cision of the Conservatives of Ross- land riding to nominate their can- didate for the legislature in conven- tion. In its estimation, the men who have taken the lead in this movement are party hacks, machine: men,.who will have everything cut. and dried for the convention to reg- ister their choice of a nominee and to set aside the more excellent choice which could be made: by’ requisition. The Grit organ has made the: mistake of judging the Conserva- tive party by the Grits. If the: skilled work of the Ontario thresh-: ing machine be any criterion, the! Liberals are experts at- over-riding the wish of the electors, It may be that Liberal voters would be so weak and pliable as to allow their: convention to become a mere ma-: chine to register the wishes of the: machine. The Conservatives of! this district will choose their deéle-: gates and those del: in con- ment legislated first’ and proposed to investigate afterwards. The Conservative convention says in ef- fect that any government which may be formed after the election should investigate first and legislate after- wards, if the investigation proves that legislation is needed. Martin promises an investigation and then a referendum to find out what’ the peaple want. Itis for the people to judge which is the most states- manlike course. The trouble with the Tribune and other’ ad es of the sti: eight-hour law is that they denounce as enemies of the eight-hour system ‘any man and any newspaper which make any criticism whatever upon it. In order to be a true-blue eight-: hour man, you must this Irish'soldiers and all wore the once- proscribed green emblem should serve as an example to the race- wranglers in the eastern provinces, who forget that French-Canadians shared the glory of Paardeberg. Since the alien contract labor laws have been suspended on both sides of the boundary, it would ap- pear that Uncle Sam recognizesthat *thonors are easy” in that game. The longest-range yar critic is Goldwin Smith, whose-letters to the Farmer’s Sun,> written. in- Rome, contain dire predictions of disaster to Britain, based on the British re- verses of ever'so long ago. The war will probably be over before Goldwin’s criticisms catch up to the relief of Kimberly.“ Vancouver World. ; : It is remarkable with all the cas- ualties none ot the British generals have yet been wounded in the hyphen.—Tacoma Ledger. _—_ For the Ladica.

A ted. The convention will be thor- oughly representative and the best man will be chosen. The motive of the Miner’s attack peeps out between the lines, _It is at the old game of trying to create division in the ranks of its oppo- nents by insinuating that the best men are to be pushed into the back- ground. Its allusion to party lines betrays its fear that a straight Con- servative candidate will be nomi- nated and win. It finally gives a slap at its particular aversion, Mayor Goodeve, and gives solemn warning of what the Boundary del- egates may do to him, The name of Mayor Goodeve is only one of several which are before the Conservative voters. If they consider him the best man to de- feat Joe Martin’s candidate, he will bo nominated.
