That many Indians of British Col- umhia have a definite understanding with the Japanese and have been etirnlled by them is the surprising statement of an Indian missionary wl.o for 30 years has lived with the natives of the northern part of the province. At that time his name was plain Donald Smith, and one of his oppon- ents sought to weaken his chances by demanding “Who is Smith? What is Smith? Why is Smith” One of the candidate's supporters demolished this opponent by replying: “Always pin your faith to a Smith wherever you find him. There are no frills on a Smith. If you want boldness and pluck vote for Captain John Smith; if you want a master of logic vote for Adam Smith; if you want ability and patriotism vote for Donald Smith.” The electors regarded this as sound advice and plumped tor Donald Smith. A plain sounding name is some. times a valuable asset. At least this was the experience of Lord Stratb- oona when he was standing for Pat- liament in Canada.

The western papers are retailing with considerable glee a story of the Duke of Connaught’s visit to the Pacific Coast. It comes second in popularity to that of the city father who wore robes of state and a gold chain to greet His Royal Highness. The duke reviewed a number of vet- erans at Kamloops. They were old men. and the Governor-General was doing his best to be particularly agreeable. He singled out one old man who was more bottle scarred than battle scarred, and asked him several quee- tions. “Where did you last serve?" was the next question. “Right. here in Kamloope. said the my) in fiesperatioq. “You have served?" inquired His R0391 Highngsst ”'Yes.” ‘replied the veteran rather ashamed.
