Killing Seals in Fraser River.

N}stuS SCato us fG0SCI PtSGTs
The European war has furnished
an idea to the provincial authorities,
who have for years been seeking to ex-
terminate the hair seals, which kill
enormous quantities Of salmon at the
mouth of the Fraser, says Vancouver
dispatch to the Buffalo News.
Note was taken Of the favorite bask-
Ing places ef the seals on the Fraser
sandheads. One Of these was mined
with high explosives and charges OF
metal were placed in cans below the
surface Of the sand, which the next
high tide smoothed over. At low tide
the seals returned to their place Ia
the sun and were not disturbed.
The next day nearly 200. seals gath
cred on the sands and the explosion
was touched off by a battery from
which wires led to the seal ground.
The explosion killed every seal.
Other blasts will be set off, for this

q road to carry


Some few days ago the Columbia Rec
ord carried little editorial paragraph
commencing the address Il Attorne!
General Peoples before the AS
sociation of attorneys general as
very patriotic deliverance, which a.
doubt was just and proper compli
meat.. 1t then goes on to add that
nothing else could have been expect
ed from MIR. Peoples, because soma
months ago he took occasion to ca!
down a former assistant attorney gen
eraa for his pro-German talks and sea
timents in his Office. We have misplac-
ea the paper and can not, therefore
quote the paragraph exactly, but TIL
Is about the substance of it.
While not saying so it could nav
reference to none other than Con-
eressman Fred Dominick, who was /
former assistant attorney general
This is not the first time that the
Record has gone out of, its way to
make a fling at Mr.. Dominick. VS.
love an open and bold and fearless
fighter, but these insinuators and
susgestors, we never did have much
epinion Of them. Now, we do not De-
lie7e that the Record can get Mr..
PEOPLES 10 substantiate it's statemeiis
that he called down Mr.. Dominick
for mis- pro-German. talk while he was
assistant attorney general. Because We
know that if he had undertaken to
call down Mr.. Dominick for his opir-
ion and had unertaken to put the gag
law on him it would have been
promptly resented aud Mr.. DominicS
would have given Mr.. Peoples his re>
signation and probably some other
s@ngs.
Aud besides that, some Of the loud4
est anti-German orators that we have
now were strong pro-German sympa-
thizers along about that time Nota-
bly, among those is DR.. Geo. B. Crom
-er whom the Record esteems now -
ene of the chosen few.

the way to get things done is not to
abuse the fellow who may not agree
with YOU And then he may be the

do the job Treat him courteously
and have some respect for his opIn-
ions and deal honestly With him.

THE CHURCHES AND THE WAR

InE CACNCaES AMI LIE w axe
Under the above caption The Bibli
cal Recorder had a very strong edi
torial a part OF which We are pro-,
ducias. 1t expresses our own view
and is along the line tlat we have
been writing in this column:
1--WE do not believe that it is righ !
to drape our pulpits in the nationa
colors or to have flags flying froa !
the steeples of our church buildings !
The banner of the cross is the onli,
emblem under which the hosts Of Il )
Lord should march and the King o
the Universe is the only Ruler who's
authority it should recognize Whea
the people go to Church on Sunday
they should hear a message fro:a
Christ our Lord. After reading I'll
papers all the week and having the +
minds filed with the accounts o
strife and bloodshed, they should en-
joy a quiet, peaceful hour on the
Sabbath Day. The story of the eros
should be told, for there is heart
hunger in every congregation, evea
i. normal times, and especially NOW
does the soul reach out after God. NJ
matter how many suggestions GU |
pastors may have from the GoyerE-
ment, Food Commission, or any otne :
source whatsoever, to preach on toE-
les relating to the war, they should
form and adhere to the purpose whio1
Influenced Paul when he said, L
determined not to know anything
among you save Jesus Christ and Hin
cruci6ed." There has not been day
since Christ died on CT vary when
this poor old world nc y the gos-
pei of peace and comfort. as much
as it needs it today, and every pastor
has an opportunity Of bringing such
2. message 10 hungry souls .'-Greer-
wood Journal
That is just the idea We had in mind
VIXEN we said something about tho
preachers going around making
speeches endeavoring to Great sec-
timent in favor of war, and some Of
our friends said we were hurting tbs
paper and doing ourselves injury
Well, that did not cut "any ice" wlH
us. We try to be honest in the eds-
torial columns of this paper and say
what we think, at all times endeavo--
ing to remember to be, courteous AMI
to have due regard for the opinion
Of others
We have been told that even on the
Sunday that the governor by procla-
nation asked the preachers and the
churches to offer special prayer for
the soldiers in the new army then
just assembling, some of the preach
ers in their sermons, by insulation
as leat, referred to any one who asked |
to be Exempted as Stacker and dis
loyal to his country There can be :
no good from such preaching OF

THE MERIT SYSTEM
TO Be OBSERVED

Washington, March 26.-The &C
ton of the president in adopting the
merit system in the appointment OF
first, second and third class postmast-
ers and taking this patronage out
of politics. will save the government
many dollars year and will increase
the efficiency of the postal service.
This system becomes effective week
from Monday.
There are SGT first class offices
|2.213 second class; 7,4S7 third
class and 1888 fourth class Off
ces. The fourth class Offices were
placed in the classified civil service
several years ago by President Taft.
The application of the principle,
however, was so perverted that 1t
did not bring the desired result.
Three names were certified on list
|of eligible applicants. In nearly all
cases there was at least one demo
crat on the list and in nearly all cases
this democrat was appointed. 1t only
brought the system into ridicule be-
cause it was a sham and a hypocritic-
Ial application of it.
This did the merit system harm
because some who took only sup
Ierficial view of the matter blamed the
principle itself for the result, where
as the real fault was the failure to
Iapply in truth and insfact the merit
principle. The criticism really was
against the old spoils system mas
querading in the guise of the merit
system.
So far as announced, the forthcom-
ing order will not affect incumbent
postmasters during their present
term. Instead of a perversion of the
principle by giving the appointment
to the democrat on the list of three,
the applicant standing highest on
the list and having the other neces-
|sary qualifications as to general
character, will be appointed regard
less of politics, so administration
friends say.
This change will add to the dig
nifty of congressman by relieving
them from the obligations and humil-
iations of political appointments. It
will take away from the executive
branch of the government one of the
which in times past have frequent
Ily been used to direct and control
the actions of Congress. Anyone can
see the effect of such influences upon

BRITISH EFFICIENCY
GETTING EFFECTIVE

London, March &c. Britain s
army kitchens are now supplying
enough glycerine, formerly wasted,
to produce the cordite necessary to
fire ten million shells year.
John w. Hope, chairman of mil
|itary committee on waste, made this
statement to the United Press today
England has been teaching herself
and her allies efficiency in a great
many ways and some of the most
important reforms have been intro
duced by the military representa-
Itiyes who deal with the use of waste
bones and fat from the camps.
THE fat contains about 10 per
cent slycerine, and this is sent to
the Ministry of Munitions. 1t
amounts to 1000 tons of glycerine a
year. We can supply the government
with glycerine at the pre-war prices
of $297.O0 ton, while glycerine in
the United States is quoted at $1,000
IA ton.
I'VE pay S150,00O month to the
various units, each receiving it's in
dividual checks. which goes long
ways toward providing extra COM
forts for the men,"
The system has been extended to

More About Chickens.

Another east slider was in the
Freeman Tribune Office today and
protested against the statements pub
lished in Saturdays paper anent the
chicken question. He said he had
lived on the east side for some time
and that it was impossible almost
to have gardens and flowers over
there on account of the chickens run
ming at large. Perhaps, 1t would be
a good idea to open chicken school
and teach the biddies not to scratch
in the neighbours garden. The
trouble with the chickens now is
they do not know just where to
scratch. If they would contine op-
erations to the gardens of their own
|ers there would be no complaint, but
the critters seem to like the garden
just over the fence better than their
own.

Another View of Chicken Question

An east side resident who raises
chickens and a garden, has differ
ent view anent the chicken question
than the one we published from a
west end resident few days ago. He
says he is great lover of a good
garden, flowers and chickens and de-
clares that out of twelve families who
live near him nine or ten keep chick
ems, raise good gardens and flow
ers. He has lived there about six
years In that time he has never
been obliged, he says, to tell any OF
these people to keep their chickens
out of his garden, and they have
never told him to. Two of his
neighbors keep no chickens. Both
are nice families One of them al
ways has a good garden, beautiful
flowers and a nice kept lawn. The
other keeps a weedy garden and few
flowers and is constantly grumbling
about the neighbours chickens. These
neighbors live side by side. The
one with the well kept garden never
has anything to say about chickens,
while the other one is grumbling all
the time. And our informant is
wondering why he and some of the
others never have any trouble, and
his garden isn't fenced.

Mrs. George Shipp.

Rev. Arthur Metcalf paid the fol-
lowing beautiful tribute to the late
Mrs. George Ship in his address a.
the funeral services held Friday
afternoon:
In his immortal dream John Bunyan
lets US see the passing of his saints
His two pilgrims go into the gates OF
the Eternal City, and just beyond the
mysterious portal we can see their
TRANSPORTATION as they put on the
garments of the immortal life. The
dreamer then hears the bells OF
heaven ring for very joy, and the
pilgrims join the heavenly chorus and
sing glory and blessing and honor tc
Him that stitch on the throne forever
and forever. AS the gates open tC
admit the pilgrims, Bunyan gets a
glimpse within the city. and, behold
its streets are thronged with those
who have triumphed. And after thai
they shut up the gates" sadly says
the Bedford dreamer He concludes
the thrilling scene by saying witt
touching regret: (Which when l hat
seen, l wished myself among them"
THAT is the way many of us fee
about the passing of AIntie Ship
With her long pilgrimage has ended
within the walls of the beautiful city
bodily life of suffering has been con
summated among the shining one!
