REFORM IX lmrnSH COLUMBIA
Th-.-re is evidently luteat in cer- j
tain quarters to confuse the issue
in Oritish Columbia bv giving a
personal turn to tha controversy
tha* has arisen over the land-grab
exposures. Moses Cotsworth, an Eng
lish accountant, was assigned to the|
province iu 190$ to assist in the
rrant: 115 of the public service bill.
He has remained ever since and
has been engaged la various im
portant activities. As chairman of
the commission to rec-rs.de the Brit
ish Columbia civil service he dif
fered from the government and has
since been.with the opposition. In
counect.on with his activities he
has accumulated a vast amount
of material from the provincial
archives that bea'rs on the disposi
tion 0' public lands, and it was
lar.it-iv upon data rurnished by him
that the Ministerial Union based its j
recent allegations of irregularities iu
this coneitiou.
Among the specifications set
forth 'a the Ministerial Union's in
dictmtnt was the charge that Im
meusf areas of the choicest land ha
been dishonestly taken from the
people and the crown, and that
nothing has been done to bring the
jruilty parties to justice. "On the
contrary," says the Urion report,
"the attorney-general declared on
the floo.- of the toast- that 'the
speculator must have his chance."
So hundreds of speculative friends
ha%-e n»ea allowed to sieze more
laud fhan they can even pay taxes
for. And now, by the passing of
bill No 16 on the 3d of March last,
the I ieutenant-€overn6r in council
can postpone the payment of any
moneys due or accruing to the
crowi, by any such men and for
suel a time as the government may
advise."
As w were saying, mere is an
evident intent in certain quarters
now to divert public thought in the
province from the main - issue by
persoi.il criticism of Moses Cots
wortb One high official promises
at a convenient time to "have some
thin? to say" about th?s man's char
acter It will seem to the disin
terested and impartial, we believe,
that only the records of the pro
vince can have anything to say in
this case that will be worthyof at
tention. If the lands belonging to
the people of British Columbia are
ftill in the possession of the pro
vim, p, then Mr. Cotaworth's data
and 'lis allegations besed thereon
will be undeserving of a 'second
thought; but if, as charged, the
Decile c f British Colombia have
been systematically deprived of
their rightful .inheritance through
connivance of provincial officials,
land grabbers and speculators, the
records should be clear on this
point and Mr. Cotsworth's connec
tion with the exposure becomes a
secondary matter. !
On the face of things, It is ap
parent that frauds on a stupendous
scale fcave been perpetrated on the
people of British Columbia, and thai
after allowing the law to take its
course in all tther respects, the
thing for the outraged citizenship
of the province to keep especially in
view is speedy and complete restitu
tion by those .who have profited
financially by such misdeeds.—Ex

WEALTH AND LIFE
Montreal News: A Phildelphian,
supposed to be a millionaire, has
k- .led himself, leaving a note say
ing: "I ruined my health piling up
my fortune; now I am bankrupt,
ond there is nothing left-for me to
live for."
\Vha- are wealth and position
A-orth, if ones' life is wrecked in
attaining them? It seems strange
that- men should rush toward their
goal at a pace that dissipates their
best faculties, forgetting that re
pose, harmony, peace of mind and
r creation are necessary for all
really high attainments. Two of th«
most beautiful as well as philosophi
cal lines ever written .are these by
the Greek poet, Euripides:
Contentment is the.root of labor.
And labor is the -root of mankind."
What does the mere money-getter
know of real life or of real Buccess?
What to' him are the finer self-cul
ture, the attainment of personal hap
piness,.the higher education of life?
How can a man wSo ihas .trained
himself only to grind, to seize and
to hold appreciate the .sentiments
that sway the noblest souls? Wealth
cannot buy the things the .normal
mind yearns for, which the higher
manhood longs to attain. Fine
qualities cannot be reached by the
check-book.
