Optimist k. I, NO. 187 Prince Rupert, B.C., Wednesday, December 14. 1910. Price, five Cents Umpaign ended with cheers and enthusiasm r. Blakemore Surpassed Himself in Brilliant Speech -Mr. Thos. Dunn Gives Amusing Explanation of Why Fargo's Luck Changed Since 1884 HOPES RAN HIGH FOR A VICTORY AT TEMPERANCE PARTY'S RALLY LAST NIGHT Ir. William Blakemore wound up his kpai-rn against the adoption of the It Act in the Empress Theatre night when he again received thc ^pliment of a crowded house. In course of his campaign he may allowed several minor stars to in his refulgence but Inst night .witched them off completely by vcring an address, the fluency and leal argument of which made his leagues look like a lot of stammering flren. he first thing he did was to have a ; at Mr Faris'* $100 by endeavoring ove that what he said was not He had another shot at Dr. nccr, who, he reminded them, had ed thai Mr. Faris had come all way from Victoria or Vancouver |ake part in the campaign. That lenient did not tally with Mr. Faris's effect thnt he did not come to Rupert in the interests of the Act or of any other Act. Having ted the statements side by side Blakemore said that the hospital lid certainly get the money "al- ," he added, "I do not think Mr. Faris is a liar," with the basis on the name. Prohibition and Original Sin his search for arguments against Scott Act he went back to the den of Eden and pointed out that ���������as prohibition in those dulcet days It led tt the fall from which we were suffering today, and he thought that It very fact should make us careful imposing any prohibitory laws upon anybody. Prohibition was demoralizing, and the people behind the Scott Act were so demoralized that they could not detect right from wrong. Mr. Blakemore wound up with a magnificant peroration, not altogether germane to the subject but which nevertheless carried the audience away and won for him a thunderous applause. How Fargo Fell In introducing Mr. Thomas Dunn, the chairman, Mr. Nelson recalled that they ai rived together in the city ol Prince Rupert some four years ago, and a voice from the hack of the hall supplied the missing link by interjecting "dead broke," a state of affairs which Mr. Dunn very generously admitted. Mr. Dunn made some irank statements regarding the nature and composition of his opponents. Dr. Spencer was an arrant and miserable coward in his eyes and the rest of the Scott Act crew were rapidly qualifying for the same denomination. Mr. Dunn made one very amusing slip but he was too busy speaking to observe it. It was when he told the audience "in 1884 I went through Fargo and it has gone down ever since." The audience enjoyed the slip immensely. Aldermen Pattullo and Hilditch were both against the Scott Act. In the opinion of Mr. Pattullo it would materially affect the business standing of the city. Speakers Were in Earnest and Aroused Great Enthusiasm. Aid. Hilditch Criticized City Solicitor, Speaking by Invitation. In the Majest'c Theatre last night a crowded temperance rally gave expression vigorously in support of the Scott Act. Great confiderce was expressed by all the speakers that the voie today would go in favor of the Scott Act, and the m<-eting was enthusiastical'y responsive. A. M. Manson who presided, in his opening address rriticized severely the methods of the opposing party who had not, he said, fairly and squarely responded to the Temperance Party's invitation to them to send speakers for the return debate arranged. Having been congratulated n thc morning (or not apparently taking any great part in the Scott Act movement. Rev. Charles Sing got in line straight away with the Temperance Party and in his speech last night gave instances of lives ruined by the bar. Dramatic and forceful was the speech of Rev. W. H. McLeod who roused the ineetirg strongly by hiB appeal: "Who says the Scott Act will fail through lack of enforcement'.'" he cried. "Give us the chance to have it here to enforce, and we'll see that it is en ferred or die in the attempt." Another strong speech was H. F, PRINCE RUPERT VOTES ON TEMPERANCE ISSUE The Clamor of Party Rivalry is Succeeded by the People's Voice���Polling Proceeds Slowly at Various Stations���-Heavy Poll Not Anticipated Today is polling day upon one of the most interesting and one of the most import am issues that have yet brushed across the horizon of the city of Prince Rupert. By thc result of today's vote it will be decided whether the people will ingraft themselves in the general atmospheric color scheme and remain "wet" or whether they will discard the liquor traffic so far as it is identit'ed with the open bars and saloons. A run round the various polling stations this forenoon did not entirely bear out the suggestion that upon the issue depended the future prosperity of the city. There was no great excitement or special ardour displayed anywhere. The impression created itself that if I'rince Rupert is going to fall thus early in its career, before the prospeclive crown had even been sighted, it was going to do so without a struggle, more like an aged mendicant welcoming death than a vital youth repelling it. Voting Wa* Light Up till about noon there were about fifty votes polled in each of the booths, a figure which while it represents a fair ratio does not indicate that the poll will be a record one. Many people are out of town on holiday at the present time, many more have been taking part in the campaign who are not possessed ol the franchise. Any calculation therefore as tu the result or the extent of the poll is liable to be considerably out at the finish. Stray Voter* While very great attention has been devoted by both parties as to who haa the right lo vote very little has been paid to the question of where to vole and in consequence not a few individuals went astray with their vote in their pocket to be picked up just in time to record his conviction in favor of one side or the other.

His activities have been (confined almost completely to thc flnan- Jcial field, in which he has made an almost unparalleled success. Although he has been more or less prominent in Eastern affairs during the past half dozen years, he has in reality only oeen known in Montreal since his arrival here about three years ago.

The girls have been given an ultimatum that they must cease wearing false curls or stay away from classes. Principal Ansel Williams, it is alleged, stated that unless many of the girls cease to dress so conspicuously there will be a general suspension.

THOS. DUNN. Manager contends that the position of women ; in the East is not sanctioned by the | founder of their religion. She says: "We want to be treated as persons nnd not as domestic animals; wo want a place, and a suitable place, not a mere cage, in theatres and cafes and public conveyances; we want the place Mal-omet gave us, equal to mar; but it is not modern feminism that we wish for; we seek to rema'n in our homes and seek no part in public life." "Certainly Mahomet chose all that was best in Judaism and Christianity and put it into the Koran." And that was her conclusion at every point��� Mahomet was right: what Mahomet had done or said was well done and well said. "Only, alas, the Ulemas have changed the teaching of Mahomet; the Ulemas have made women cover their faces; in Turkestan, where the pure Turks live, women are still unveiled. Mahomet taught that women were exactly equal to men; in ancient timea women ruled in Turkestan. This year there is to be a uni versal congress of all Mussulmans, Turks, Russians, Egyptians, Arabs, Indians and Chinese, to he held in Ind'a, and one of the principal points of discussion will be certain six verses of the Koran relating to women, of which the exact translation has never been settled." The treatment of thc:r women has always been a mark of the progress of the races of men. Perhaps nothing has contributed more to the advance of Christianity than the hono ard respect and even the reverence in which women have ben held by those who have professed that religion. the use of tobacco, is growing. For this, athletics and the boy scout movement should receive much credit. New Rain Coats from $12.00 up.

Sewing Machine Hint* When much machine work has to be done, filling the shuttle is a constant annoyance. This can be partsy obviated by threading the shuttle with finer cotton than that used on the net-die. The sewing will be quite as strong, and the shuttle will not need refilling half so often as it would if threaded with the same number of cotton as the needle, because the bobbin will hold a great deal more of the finer cotton. If you want your sewing machine to do satisfactory work, remember that it needs 'o be kept clean. After every ten hours' work it needs oil; but all surplus oil must be carefully wiped off aiterward. Always work it stei-dily and never start or stop with a jerk. The beet way to finish off a machine seam ia to turn the material round and stitch back for about an inch. This saves ty'ng the ends o' cotton, which is annoying work and takes up a good deal of time if there are many seams. SEASONABLE Practical Household Hints For dusting women's heavily trimmed hats the best brush is a cheap shaving brush, as it is both stiff and small enough to reach every crevice. Sew matting with ratlin and prevent unsightly stitches of thread. Raffia very strong and may be bought to match almost any kind of matting. A simple way of repairing a rent in an umbrella is to use a p>oee of ordinary adhesive plaster. If the plaster is not black it may be easily colored. Fill a bottle with hot water, place the splinter over the mouth, press tightly: the suction will loosen it, and it will be an easy matter to remove it.

CAMPBELL, & Preparing For Franchise The women of Spokane who belong to the Young Women's Christian Association believe that the recent decision of thc electorate to give them the franchise makes poKt'cal education necessary. If they rray vote they want to vote wisely. In order to do thia they are about to enter upon a course of study of political subjects. No better decision could be reached. < n���t leave rusty marks. The man or woman who thinks the business of governing a ration is an easy one and that the voter's share in it carries no responsibility is unfit to exercise the franch'se. There are already far too many ingorant and prejudiced voters in all self-governelng countries and there are many corrupt ones. If in Washington the women are resolved to be able to give a reason for the political faith they hold, there will be little danger that the privilege they have gained will ever be revoked. It is to be hoped thnt the Spokane women w.ll undertake their studies in the spirit of humility without which the attainment of knowledge is impos- sihle. To be able to say "I do not know" or I cannot understand" is often the first step toward progress. Perfection Oil Heater.

MANSON For reasons known not only to himself, but to many others, Mr. William Manson saw fit to stay in hisding yesterday, and allow the temperance campaign to end without any statement from him. He knew of the charge which day after day in this column has been laid against him. He knew o' the challenge to clear himself. He knew of the fair terms that were offered him. If he has any political conscience he must have felt the duty he owed to one or both of the two parties he has given pledges to. If he has any adequate sense of the responsibilities laid upon a candidate for public office, he would have responded to the call to come and define his position. If he has any proper sense of his honor as a political man, he would have hastened to clear himself from the charge of double dealing. It was thc reply of a weakling for him to tell those of his supporters who begged him to come out and defend himself from the charge laid against him, that he "would not have it said that the Optimist dragged him on to the platform." A man who treasured his public honor would require no dragging. He would rush lo its defence. Beside his honor, his personal vanity would be of no account. The disappointment of many of his supporters, and their intention to throw him over are quite justified. A man without the courage of his convictions, however estimable he may be as a private citizen, has no place in public life. What confidence could the citizens have in such a man in any great issue? Always there would be the fear that while he spoke one thing he meant another. His assurances would have little weight. This has been exemplified in the past week. Nothing could be more explicit than the assurances of support Mr. Manson gave the liquor men. But the condition he exacted, that he be not betrayed to the temperance party has made them suspiciuus. Their deductions were warranted. Why should he not give a similar pledge and exact a similar promise from the temperance party? If ho would deceive one, why not the other? It is always the fate of the double-dealer that he loses the confidence of both parties. This is the fate of Mr. Manson.

Three Licenses Granted Confident that there are 6,000 people in Prince Kupert, Commissioner Smith called the chairman's intention to the fact that the first application to consider was J. Y. Rochester, and moved the application of Peter Black, Maurice Bondeau and J. Y. Rochester be all three considered with a view to granting licenses, and the ballot taken. This was carried, Commiaaioner Stork voting against. Ballot being taken, Maurice Bon- deau's application for licenae for the Windsor Hotel was granted without dissent.

OFFICIALS MIXED THE CHILDREN BAD BLUNDER WAS MADE SEATTLE PEOPLE BY Sent Little Russian Girl Deitined for Vancouver to Victoria and Boy Deitined for Victoria to Vancouver A HUMOROUS RASCAL Five weeks ago a boy and a girl left Russia. He was fourteen; she was twelve. They could speak only their native language, but despite the handicap of being unfamiliar with the English tongue, they set out for British Columbia. He was going to Victoria where his brother, J. Katz, of 543 Johnson street ran a successful, though small hotel in Victoria. The girl was going to relatives in Vancouver. They landed at Portland, Maine, and yesterday reached Seattle. There the railroad officials got the two confused. They sent the boy to Vancouver and the girl to Victoria. The little fellow landed at 7 o'clock at night from a Great Northern train. With a "carry-all" wicker bag���larger than himself���he walked to the Empress hotel, Hastings street. He could not make himself understood. He showed a card with his brother's name on it��� his desired destination. It was at first thou-fht he had no means. A policeman entered the hotel and took him to police headquarters, where he was to be given lodgings gratis for the night and then sent to Victors in the morning. In the crowd that gathered sympathy was expressed for the litt'e fellow. Several gave him money���a half, a dollar. He refused to accept the same. At the station an interpreter was found The boy told his troubles. He had money���his brother had seen to that. He was no mendicant. He wanted lodgings and food, but he wanted to pay for them. His Russian friends accompanied him back to the Empress hotel. There he was taken care of and given a good breakfast. A telegram was sent by the clerk of the hotel to his brother and the boy was put aboard the 10 o'clock boat. He will find tbe girl and see that she is sent back here to her relatives, who are alarmed at her failure to arrive. C. T. P. BRANCH LINE Will let I'd Pauei Bogus Bill With an Apology Written On It Somewhere about this city there's wandering a youthful son of Italy who, besides having some of the earmarks ot a future captain of industry, knows a joke when he sees one, even if it has a criminal tinge to it. \f (In Saturday this unknown lad walked into a down town toy shop with an evident desire to become the owner ol a toy engins' and a top. He got them all right and paid the shopkeeper what the latter thought was a $10 bill, depar ing with $8.75 in good, honest change. Later the man in the sloie looked the supposed money over and this is what he saw, "I. O. U. Nothing It was a shame to do it hut I needed the money." At Ant blush on a dark niv*ht thc flimsy might have been taken for money, but it cer.ainly doesn't boar scrutiny. The police are now on the lookout for the enterprising young Italian. Run Between Vancouver and Fort George Vancouver, Dec. 10.���The Grand Trunk Pacific, owing to the competition of rival railways, h��i issued orders orders that the final location of the line between Vancouver and Fort George is to be proceeded with forthwith and continued throughout the coming winter. From Lillooet, on the Fraser, the route ia officially described as follows: Up the west bank of the Fraser, crossing Bridge river and continuing up the Fraser to Ward's creek, where the river will be bridged to Big Bar. From the last mentioned point the line will ascend the east bank of the Fraser to the vicinity of Fort George. J. Gunn Is in charge of the survey party working south from the vicinity of Fort George and F. Stewart is directing the outfit that is ascending the Fraser from Lillooet. It is said that the exact point where the branch line will strike tho main line must be left open for some time. This is in consequence of the unwillingness of the Indians to assign or sell their rights to the Fort George Indian reserve the purchase of which is being sought by the railway company.

Inhabitants of the village of Bur- tigny. beautifully situated on the slopes of the Jura Alps, in the Canton of Vaud, have no rates and taxes to pay. The village, after paying ita debts, which amount to between one hundred and forty to one bundreto fifty pounds a year, divides the surplus of about ten pounds among the oldest inhabitants. The village owns forests, and tracts of fertile land, as well as cattle. Tbe villagers possess in common their own water service and reservoir, a cafe, wine presses, public fountain and weighing machine, a baker's shop, and a dairy. Everything ia sold at cost price, and the surplus stock is sent to the market in the vicinity. Very little money exchangee hands. Most of the necessities of life are paid for in kind and by labor. When the vintage takea place each family receives so much wine, and the remainder is sold to "outsiders." The same system prevails when the timber is cut every year. If a member ol the community becomea ill or old and unable to work, he or she receives food and lodg-ng free. Each inhabitant is content to work hard for the common good. Crime is unknown. The village sends few but j splendid young men to do their service in the federal army. chains, thenee srest Qtvsn Charlotte UtotjjUarl DiBnn-Diwitt.

"It was different with me," remarked the politician who had made an ill- advised speech. "One morning I found myself famous���then I woke up." "Yes," said the specialist, as he stood at the bedside of the miser millionaire, "I can cure you." "But what will it cost?" came feebly from the lips of the sick man. The specialist made a swift mental calculation "Ninety-five dollars," waa the answer. "Can't you shade your figure a little?" wa:led the other. "The undertaker's bid is much less." An old negro was brought up before the judge, charged with chicken stealing, and when the usual question waa propounded, "Guiliy or not guilty?" he aaid: "I don't know, boss; I jest throw myself on the ignorance of the court." CHINA WANTS A NAVY Negotiating Foreign Loan of Twenty- five Million* to Build Pekin, Dec. 10.���The Chinese government has opened negotiations for a further and distinct foreign loan of $25,000,000 to be used for the development of tho navy. This is the result of the report made by Prince Tsai Shun, uncle of thc Emperor, after his visit to America. It is probable that Americans will receive the largest share of the orders for the construction of the new vessels, and will furnish one quarter of the loan. In aome quarters the new enterprise is criticl-ted on the ground that China does not require an enlarged navy, while the money is needed badly for reform. DASHED TO DEATH Two Italian Aviators Fall From Height of 800 Feet Rome, Dec. 10.���An aeroplane carrying an Italian officer and a private fell from a height of 800 feet at the military grounds at Centilco this evening. Both men were killed instantly. The aeroplane, a Farman machine, was in charge of Engineer Cammorata, and the acciden' appears to hsve been dus to an attempt to make a ahort turn. Cammarota is the third Italian officer to bo killed in an aeroplane acciden in the last four months. Lieutenant Vivadi and Lieutenant Sagleiti both met death while making flights.

This is probably the question which has occurred to you when reading our advertisements, and we will now answer it. Commencing on Saturday the 17th .of December, and continuing up to 10 p.m. on Christmas eve, we shall endeavor to CLEAR OUT THE BULK OF OUR STOCK AT KNOCK DOWN PRICES. We have an enormous stock of Men's Furnishings. Our storage room is crammed with boxes from floor to ceiling, and because of this we are unable to make an attractive Christmas display. Our windows are not suitable for artistic dressing and our store is too small to show off to advantage the excellence of the goods we have. But we have a great variety of Men's Furnishings and of the Highest Class, the majority bought especially for Christmas. We are unable to attract you by a tempting display, but we are going to tempt you by attractive prices. And in addition we are going to GIVE AWAY SOME VALUABLE PRESENTS. If you are in need of a SUIT OF CLOTHES you can buy it this Christmas under cost. If you desire to make a few presents you will have a great variety of articles to choose from. AND YOU WILL STAND A CHANCE OF RECEIVING A VALUABLE PRESENT FROM US. This is probably the last Christmas our retail store will be in its present location and we intend to make it a memorable one in the history of our firm and in the minds of our customers. Around Christmaa the merchant looks forward to increaaed trade and extra profit, but we are not advertising this sale merely to catch the Christmas trade. We have to clear our stock and the name and standing of our firm should be sufficient guarantee of our good faith. Full Announcement Will Appear in Tomorrow's Papers C. B.

He warned the audience that the gravest menace to the present day society was the centralization of capital, and declared against the bar as one of the channels through which the earnings of the many flowed into the coffers of the few. Striking corrparisons showing that the provisions of the Scott Act are in many essential points practically identical with those of the Bowser Act, and an improvement on them in certain cases, were drawn by W. E. Williams. Fresh from the Cititens' League meeting Aid. Hilditch appeared and by invitation gave the subarance of the attack on the city solicitors he had made at the league meeting. He contended that the Impossibility of rigidly enforcing the License Law waa due to the faulty framing of the City Licensing By-law now being amended. Mr. Williams in reply stated that the by-law had been a rushed one framed in the understanding that ita revision would be an early duty of the city council. It was not the city solicitor's part to keep nagging at the council on matters such aa thia. Attention to the great importance of this vote, as one of the two first taken in British Columbia, waa drawn by Dr. Spencer who dwelt nt length on the advantages of Local Option .in var'ous places. Other good speeches were given by Mr. Faris, Rev. Mr. James and G. R. Naden. Towards the conclusion ol the meeting a serried mass of the Liquor Trade advocatea congregated at the back of the theatre, and there was some attempt at interruption. An effort to secure a hearing by a young man who advanced down the aisle waa not entertained, and the meeting dispersed after "God Save the King." CHRISTMAS DINNER FOR ALL Salvation Army Officers Arrange a Novel Entertainment Thc officera of the local Salvation Army corps, will serve a home-cooked dinner, on Monday December, 26th, commencing at 12:30 noon. During their stay in the Klondike, they served two similar dinners, and in each instance had the pa.ronage, not only of the man and woman without price, but also of Dawson's leading cititens, such a? High Sheriff Mr. Eilbeck, and many nf the business men and doctors of the city, with their familioa. Everyone who comes will be served by the Salvation Army, this coming ChrUmai, and a special invitation Is extended to any one without means, but still, Ensign Johnstone wishes it to be understood that thia dinner will nn doubt satisfy the most exacting diner, and will be served at 'able* suitable for parties of four and six persons. There will not be any charge made but a box will be placed at the door, where anyone may drop in whatever they feel disposed to give, and whatever may be above the expense of getting the dinner up, will be devoted to the local debt owed by the corpa. ThU arrangement, does away with any embarras- ment made possible by a person being without the price, and still makes it possible for those who can to give. Mrs. Ensign Johnstone and Lieutenant Wright have a reputation as cooks. All the puddings, bread, pies, all that will be served, will be cooked by them. An undenominational Christmaa tree will be held in the Salvataion Army Citadel on Tuesday night, December 28th, at 8 o'clock. Everyone will be made welcome, nnd anyone de*irlng to do so, may put presents on the army tree for their friends. Mr. aad Mrs. E. A.
