: THE SIDN EY AND ISLAN DS EDITORIAL NOTES
A Ceptain. Maude seems to have little
REVIEW ‘| difficulty in adjusting his cause to differ-
ing conditions. Now. he appears among
the Conservatives and now on a Liberal
-| platform. The only thing that does. not
change is the gallant. captain’s political
belief. A better road on Gabriola Island
where even a balky horse can draw a load
of peas, eight hours a day for men at
_| work on the roads and $60 a month the
-\minimum wage. for school teachers.
Having lived on the sea for so many
years the captain claims to -know the
Islands, but on examination this. state-
ment seems to be somewhat. lefthanded.
| With the deep sympathy of the Liberals
Captain Maude is: solaced.. The Liberals
have encouraged him to continue in the
fight and the captain, with. the innocent
guilelessness of an English officer anda
gentleman, believes that their eulogies.
and encouragement are. sincere. ‘Those
who have had more experience of their
frothy protestations of friendship look on
and smile and when the poll is declared
will have naught but sympathy for his
trustfulness.

The advantage of bringing out a local
man has been relegated tothe background. |.
