C., Sept. 10.—Cheerfully Van- couver gave to the Empire the pick of her fighting} men. Proudly she saw| them go. Patriotism burn- ed in every breast. Bands played, and crowds roared. The troop trains departed. And then— Slump! This is an unhappy time for Vancouver—a time of wondering and waiting. Vancouver is so far away from the theatre of war! Neither Ottowa nor Lon- don.takes Vancouver. into its confidence. Where are Vancouver's soldiers now? Quebec? Perhaps. Maybe in mid- ocean. Whither are they bound? These are secrets of the war department in which Vancouver may not share. Meanwhile the German Leipzig hovers near Vancouver Isiand. T little Rainbow, but half the Leipzig’s size, and with many amateur sailors aboard, is looking for the German cruiser. There are rumors of a battle. One fs that the Rainbow has limped into Esquimault, battered and beaten. ‘What, asks Vancouver, is to pre- vent a German fleet from attacking Vancouver? American Gets in Bad “I came home yesterday,” said an American, who is in business in Vancouver, “and found my wife en- tertaining some neighobrs, all Eng- Mshwomen. They had my wife scared. She wanted to pack up right away and beat it for the bor- der. “Thinking to comfort and re} assure them, I explained, or tried to, how unlikely it was that Van- couver would be attacked.

It does credit to its humanity. But this phase of warfare does not come as a eurprise. It has been foreseen and foretold. It was part of the risk which Europe took when it) ‘entered upon war. We must remember that war's purpose is to kill and terrorize. War fs the product of man’s worst passions—THE PRODUCT OF GREED, SELFISH AMBITION, SEALOUSY, HATE. Such phrases as “the rules of civilized warfare” are robbed of mean Ing in proportion as war grows desperate. War itself, real war, is uncivilized; Ite fierce heat melts the restraints of civilization as lightning melts a fuse. The extent to which a fighting power will resort to extraordinary means of wholesale butchery Is measured only by its ability and Its des- peration. Bel is veneer, man is still the savage. While shuddering cruelty of the aerial bomb, let us try not to be hypocritical. For we should use it, too, if we had to, Rockefellers militia did worse things in Colorado. PUT THE SCREWS ON THEM, VOTERS Voters, now is the time to end the elec- tion farce. Before you vote for any member of the legis- lature, make him prom- ise he will work and vote for a non-partisan elec- tion law. You know you had no fair chance to express your full choice at the polls last Tuesday. You know that when you asked for one party ticket, there were also candidates on other tickets for whom you greatly desired to 3ut the law didn’t allow you to do so. The present law is the work of politicians for politicians. It does not make for a free American election Candidates for the legislature will ask you for your vote. MAKE THEM COME THROUGH. PLEDGE THEM UP. And be sure that the man you get a promise from is the kind of a man who will keep his promise Be sure he’s not like Robert Grass in the 45th legisla- tive district and William Wray in the 33rd senatorial dis- two years ago, then promptly vote promises you they will not will demand an early last moment of the ’ with it, and ion candidates promise the bill—that they won't delay it until the the se That's what they did two years ago.
