The aboriginal occupants Of the

from the specimens obtained from old
villages and burying places. Stone and
bone tools were in common use when
the first white explorers visited the
north Pacific. although iron and cop

almost everywhere
In some instances the nutivc races
had developed Il degree of art. One of
the exhibits in the museum is 4 copy

block Of stone and then polished.
There are two of these specimens very
much alike. One was discovered near
Departure bay. Nanuimo, and the
other in North Saunich, on Vancouver
island.
Perhaps the most characteristic of
/ the stone age are the stone axes and
hnmmers discovered In many places.
TlIcy are almost identical with the
tools Of the neolithic man found in
Europe.
The stone weapons include daggers
and war clubs. There are many ex-

Slave.

Inc word "slavc." in the sense In
Which it was used in America until
,??c proclamation by President Liz
t0in that abolished 1t, was originally
,hn name Of a great branch of the hui
:9an race. That branch was the Slavs,
among whom the Russians, the Poles
and the CZcchs are numbered.
In the carly wars between the Ger.
;MaNS and the Slavs, the Slavic cap
Ives were used much as the negroes
were used In parts Of America prior
10 the Civil war. Hence hondman
was dcsi gnatcd as q "Slav" or slave by
tie Grrmanic conqucrOrS.
BY way Of an Offset to this con-
temptiblc designation Of the Slav as
slaves" it is only fair to point out
;hat the Slnvs trace the derivation Of

Let Us Be Just.

 The Government has come in for much criticism jmuch of it unreasoning and violent-because It mas been reluctant rush through soldiers bonus oiii which did make clear any adequate provisions TOT the payment of bonus without injury to the GoVerh ment and the slowly recuperatng business of the Enation.
 bonus measure probably will be worked out and passed with the approval of the President, when it tappears that such legislation Will not dlsrupt the financial systems of the country
 In consideration of this matter let us be just It is not a political issue. To make it an issue oi politics would be confession of the lallure ol democracy
 No one denies the proper obligations of the Inaticn it's defenders. Democrats and Republicans alike earnest in their desire to meet these oo- gaons in the fullest measure Neither the Presideht nor Congress justly can accused of seeking to de- feat delay the rights of former service men, lhere lis world of evidence that both the former and the present Administration have tried to meet these obii- gations fully has been consistent with the wei fare of the nation a whole Tremendous things have been accomplished in the way giving aid and assistance to former soldiers and sailors Figures made public a few days ago disclose that, up April 1, total of $1s96 ,634 has been appropriated by Congress-a Congress com posed of Democrats and Republicans-for the welfare Iof former service For this purpose the Govern ment is spending than million dollars day EThis is something worthy of appreciaive considera- ton is it not?
