Taft Will Call
Taft Will Call
An Extra Session
(Special to Optimis)
Wash., March 3rd. It is now
certain that President Taft will
call an extra session of Congress
before April 4th to consider the
Canadian reciprocity measure.
This was decided today after a
lengthy conference which the
President had with the lenders of
the Republican party.
Our correspondent is probably
in error in using; the word Con-
gress. The McCall bill has passed the Congress and is awaiting
ratification by the Senate. It is
most probably thc Senate that is
meant in the despatch. ���Ed.

Ottawa, March 3. All day yesterday

one of thc three Liberals who oppose
reciprocity. He called on the Premier
to stop the proceedings and instead
i rrunge for free trade within the Umpire

He said that was the kind of reciprocity
he wanted.

The Suffrage in Sweden
Not alone in America und Englund,
but in Sweden are women pressing for
the right to vote. Not content with
agitation by public and private meetings, the movement Has just given a
gigantic expression of its aspirations.
This took the board of the All Country
Union for female political suffrage to
the Swedish premier, M. Lindmun.
The petitioners, among whom were
several notable personages, begged that
a bill might be introduced into the forthcoming session of the Riksdag, giving
suffrage to women on the same conditions as to men.
In his reply, Premier landman said
that a statisticul survey of the views
held by famous experts as regurds fe-
mule political suffrage was in course
of prcparution, together with a report
of female suffrage in the countries
where it has been granted.
Therefore he thought the question
ought not to be dealt with by the government until some experience' had
been gained as lo the effects of the
great suffrage reform so recently passed
in Sweden.
This attitude of Premier Lindmun's
does not please the more ardent spirits.
An Actress's Opinions
Eva Tanguay, the Canadian-bo. n
girl, who is known as a vivacious aciress
has been writing on that eternal topic,
church and stage. In the course of a
newspaper article she traces thc history of the stage brielly. and starting
with Puritan England, she writes:
"Then begun the fierce rivulry of
church und stuge, which could put
up the most gorgeous display of settings, the finest robed actors and attendants, the most marvelous buildings,
the most brilliant and dazzling illumination.
"From the pulpit the bishop and the
priest hurled damnation at the stage
and the uctors. From the stage the
comedians and uctors mimicked the
priests.
"Today, if you were to bring n heuthen
to town who hud never seen a theatre
or a church, and tuke him to both
some night before the performunce
begins, and show him ull the decorations,
und usk him which was which, he would
be puzzled to answer.
"The architecture of the modern
church outrivals the gaudy splendor
of the most dazzling theatres of the
land. The modern church choirs rival
grand opera, and the dress of the congregation equals the theatre box.
"The modern preacher is its much an
actor as uny character in vuudeville.
I've heard preachers rear like lions.
I have known them that saw nothing
but evil without, and purity within
themselves. Then I have known actors
���I have heard them teach the beautiful lessons of a living Christ, and point
a moral that sunk deep into the hearts
of everyone that heard them���and I
know Christians as good as any in the
land who never miss a play."
The Modern. Sweater
Now that sweaters have become a
Staple article of dress and are custom
made, big improvements have developed
in their cut (if one may so speak of garments built up of stitches) and consequently they huve a grace and shapliness
unknown to sweaters of former season*-.
In the new sweaters any stretching
of the shoulder seam is avoided by a
length of strong tape, one end of which
is sewed to the armhole, the other end
to the edge of the neck. This tape simply forces the shoulder to keep its
shape.
Seums no longer are overhanded together with the yarn of which the
sweater is made, but are closely stitched
with cotton or silk which will never
stretch. An excellent idea is to bind
thc seams with an extra strong cotton tape that is machine-stitched in
place.

Carameled Carrots
The humble carrot, so little thought of
by Americans, becomes on the Hungarian table a delicious sweet to serve with
meat. , ^
Cut one or two large carrots into thin
pieces about un inch long, put them in a
saucepan sprinkle them well with sugar
and add one tablespoonful of butter.
Pour on enough water to just cover
them und let them simmer until ull
but about one tablespoonful has boiled
away by which time they will be soft.
Then sift in a little flour over them and
slir until it is all absorbed.
Thus carameled they do not taste like
the ordinary carrot at ull and they may
be used with meat or us a luncheon dish.

notorious. Often poaching vessels made
their way into harbors and cleaned I
their fish, some tied up al West (nasi
whaling stations to make temporary j
repairs to their engines, fishermen took
herring for bait in West Coast inlets,
and some even went ashore with pit-
lamps after deer to restore the larders
of their crafl. Willi only the slow-
moving Kestrel at sea they could operate
without fear, for it was well known
that the Kestrel was net suitable to
proceed to the West Coast in winter,
and was too slow to effect a capture
unless she managed to surprise a poacher

Rainbow is in service afier a number of .years of continued agitation
for fishery protection the Ashing grounds
will be better protected.

WATER FAMINE
AT TORONTO
TWO OF THE  CITY  PUMPS ARE
CHOKED WITH ICE
City Now Depending for Water Supply on One Pump, and Water in
the Reservoir A Critical State of
Affairs.
Toronto, Out., March 1. Toronto is
threatened with a water famine. Two
of the John street pumps have shut
down, and at present the city is dependent upon one pump of 15,000,000
gallons capacity*. The euuse of the
trouble is the peat mass of floating
ice which has been swept across the
mouth of the intake pipe by recent
east winds. This has piled in great
heaps above the surface, and as it accumulates the base of the huge ice lift
is steadily forced down towards the
mouth of the pipe.
The city is being served from the
reserve reservoir and the supply may
run out at any time.
NEW   WHALER   ARRIVES
Ik   First of  a   Fleet   to Come   From
Norway
Victoria, March 'J. Thc steam whaler
White, first of the new "Rainbow"
fleet of the Canadian Northern Pacific
Fisheries company reached port early
this morning from Tordenskjold, Norway, where five steamers of the same
type were constructed for the local
whaling company to augnemt its fleet of
whale hunters off the British Columbia
coast. The White passed into the
strait at 5.15 p.m. yesterday, and
is expected to be followed shortly by
the Green and Black. The three vessels which had a trying lime on the
way between Callao and San Diego
which port they left on Sunday for
Victoria, left Norway together and
made a number of calls en route for
bunker coal. They were followed twenty-
five days later by two other whalers,
the Blue and Brown, which are now
on the wuy from Cullao to San Diego.
The White, Green and Black ran short
of coal when nearing San Diego, and put
into that port last week with their
bunkers almost bare.
JOE MARTINS OPINION
Saye Reciprocity Will Benefit People
of Britain
London, March *2. Joseph Martin
interviewed on his rat-urn from Canada
said: "Anyone here .who is alarmed at
the reciprocity agreement shows his
ignorance. The agreement will benefit
British manufacturers by the extent
that Canada's purchasing power will le
increased."

Why "For Men Only?"
The announcement ol the Mora] and Social Reform Association's meeting
for Sunday afternoon, "for men only," raises an Inquiry about (he isdom of re-
Berving any public question for discussion by men only.
There is no calling into question of the Moral and Social Reform Association's
policy. In this thoy are but followinK the practice of Moral and Social Reform
Associations the world over. It is the general policy ol the combined bodies that
is quest iimed.
It is of course admitted on all sides ihat no public speaker���and this includes
newspapers- has any right without duly warning his audience, to deal with matters concerning the underworld. It is bitter that those whose s:uils would be merely
shocked and pained by the subject should not ha e iheir ears and minds outraged
y the discussion of matters which otherwise they would remain blissf lly ignorant
of.
But 'here is no Justification in reason for placing the accident of sex as the
dividii . line betwwn those who should, and those who should not, be invited to
enter into earnest discussions of the nature and cure of the social evil.
It is quite true that a large number of women are much more concerned with
bridge scores and spring fashions than with sociology, and the vast majority ith
domestic rather than public questions. But this should not disbar any whose
earnest desires lead  them to take an interest in public matters.
On such a q nation ;is that for which the Association has called its meeting
on Sunday, the judgment of a few earnest minded women might be of much greater
value than that o( many of the men. Much more than man, is woman's interest
bound up in the maintenance of the integrity of the home. And as Edward Carpenter has poii.ted out, the purer conditions under which most women learn to
think about the life prOHoaBea. makes her judgment truer and more scientific than
that of ihe average man. The work of such women as Josephine Butler and Jane
Addams speaks for ilself.
The value of women in the work of civic regeneration has be.'n well evidenced
of late by the women of Seattle. B*hi d a wall of m��n*y���hu-th-money a id graft
money and vice money the vice ring in Seattle had for many years defied all
efforts to interfere with its work.
Il remained (or the women of Seattle at 'he first election following their enfranchisement to put an end to the operations of the vice ring, and recall its representatives from public life.
The work of changing the world's opinions is always a slow one. Kor centuries
men hi.ve demanded as their ideal woman what Mr. H. G. Wells pithily describes
as "a little fluffy fool." Changing economic conditions, notably thc entrance of
women to industrial life, are bringing about a new ideal fur women.
The day of tha little fluffy fool has passed. Now when the Moral and Social
I cform Association, taboo women from their deliberations very frequently they
are denying themselves ihe aid of judgments not less earnest, not less pure, not
less scientific than thai of thc best among them.
The day is coming when "for men o.ily" meetings will be considered a relic
of the dark past.   Bui ii will not be for a long time yet.
A Set Back for Congressman Bennett
Congressman Bennett who occupied the centre of the world's stage for eight
minutes while his resolution to provide for the annexation of Canada was being
chloroformed in the Senate, is made the subject of the following editorial remarks
in the columns of the New York American:
Mr. Bennett's resolution, introduced int) the House of Representatives
yesterday, requesting the President to enter into negotiations with the British
Government looking to the annexation of Canada by the United States, was
a piece of horse-play as offensive as it was inept.
Ii was, of course, intended to cast a slur on the reciprocity program and
to discredit in the eyes of Canada the sincerity of the United States Government .
To talk of annexation as a thing within the present range of practical
politics is to proclaim oneself an ignoramus or an irresponsible triller.
And lo suggest the idea or treating with the British Government In such
a matter is to say what would bc very insulting to our Canadian neighbors���
if it were nol so silly.
To hope that the day may come in the distant future when the political
from Inr between the two- countries will be wiped out is a sentiment of neighborly good feeling as well as a harmless adventure of prophecy.
But is neither neighborly nor intelligent to Bpcak of annexation as a
measure to be precipitated by either party���in a year or in a generation.
And it is downright disloyalty to a great national cause to cast the import ii.ent and impossible question of annexation into the midst of the present
momentous discussion.
It is thc settled conviction of the majority of the people on both sides
of the international line that annexation is not a living issue for living men.
Mr. Bennett, not being a fool, is perfectly aware of this fact.
He has been guilty oi a political indecency of which hc ought to be ashamed.

Pub. Jsn. 21. F. C. Elliott, Agent
Toda ��� the strike situation remains
unchanged. The men met last night
in the P. R. I. A. Hall, an I various
matters eanie up for diseur-sion in relation to the carrying on of the cam
paign for the 45 cent rate. The hall
was crowded, but as the a nounccment
was   made   that   all   minor   questions
'requiring attention would be settled
by the executive committee, a number
! of those present retired.
Station Work Prohibited
One point which was made clear was
that workmen  will  not  be allowed to
[taka   station   work   from   those   con-
; tractors who have refused to grant the
increase. Another matter was the
charge for board made by S. P.  Mc-
' Mordie on the wages of six men whom
; hc had arranged should put up at the
Grand View Hotel. On the declaration
of the strike these men had been turned
out of the hotel, and on their time
el ecks   their   board   was   charged   up.
' One worker to whom $58 wits coming
had, it is said, $53 deducted for board.
Another lo whom $70 was due had lo
draw only $2 cash, his board charge
being $70.
Waa It for Whiskey.
A member of the executive committee
said  that  one of the WtrkeN  had  explained the high charge for hoard  by
i saying that some of it was for whisky.
How could a charge be made for whisky
In a board hill al the Grand View Hotel?
The Grand View Hotel has no licence.
He  thought   that   the  workers  should
'demand the full amount of thc wages
due them and pay their hoard bills
themselves, and suggested that if the
contractor did nut like this plan, an
appeal to the Government Agent might
help.
Press Reports Criticized
A motion that the press be excluded
' from the workers' meetings as the
mover   considered   that   the   published
| accounts of the meetings were garbled,
| was   withdrawn.     Thc  chairman,   Mr.
! W. Fraser, informed the mover that both
the reporters who attended the meetings
held P. R. I. A. membership cards
and could not therefore be excluded.
The motion was altered to one that the
reporters  consult   the  Secretary   before
] writing up their stories.    This motion
j was carried.
Mike Gurvitch's Trouble
A   discussion   between   members   of
[the Executive Committee and M. Gurvitch on the matter of wages and his
contract was described with the reservation of certain private matters which
the committee had agreed not to give
out. It seems that Gurvitch's intention is to sec whether the city will make
up to him the difference between the
37 1-2 rate and the 45 cent rate, in which
case he is prepared to pay the 45 cents
and start up his contract again. If not,
he will consider whether to pay the
45 cent rate himself or throw up the
contract altogether. This contract il
will be remembered is the Third avenue
one which was priced so low that the
bust city council had to consult with
the city engineer before il was thought
I advisable to lei the work to Gurvitch.
Have Interpreting Committee
Amongst other business done at last
night's meeting was the appointing of
an Interpreting Committee consisting
of members of the various nationalities
chosen by the men to act as official
interpreters of proceedings at the meetings.
Will Meet the Camosun
This morning thc Executive Committee
wits in attendance at the Hall to look
after the detail matters arising, and to
advise the workers. The announcement that 25 laborers engaged by S. P.
McMordie, are expected by the Camosun
tonight, and that arrangements have
been made for them to board at the
Westholme Lumber Co.'s premises, was
discussed by some of the men. The
Secretary stated that the steamer .will
be met by a strong detainment of the
workmen in order that these 25 men
may not be allowed to land here under
any misapprehensi n whatever regarding
the situation. It is thought that the
men may be coming here in ignorance
i f the filet that ihey are expected to
act as strike-breakers.
RESIGNATION   ASKED   FOR
Ottawa M. H. O. ia Being Accused for
Typhoid Outbreak
Ottawa, March 2.--The typhoid troubles of Ottawa have raised considerable
criticism of the Board of Health and the
Medical Health officer. There is an
accusation of dereliction of duty regarding the entrance of pollution into the
water supply. Outspoken public opinion
was replied to by a motion of the Hoard
of Health agreeing on its own efficiency,
and proposing to raise salaries all round
This was the last straw, and the city
council, after a warm debate, asked
the Board of Control to reorganize the
discredited depart ment.
Tonight thc Controllers have asked
for the resignation of Dr. Law, Medical Health Officer, around whose head
the storm has waged. Meantime then-
is a serious move in the city towards
government by commission owing to
many acts of the aldermen recent ly
