No. 48 SIR EDWARD TENNANT A KNOTTY QUESTION IS JAPAN TO CONTROL SEWERAGE SYSTEM Sir Edward Tennant is a typical Scottish gentleman. He is a thoughtful and cultured observer. He has little to say but there is not much which escapes his keen eyes and ready understanding, lie watches and listens and thinks for himself. ' ^ His eloquent address, delivered before the Canadian Club on Wednesday last, was a splendid example <of how'thoroughly he had grasped ^ conditions in this Province in th e brief time he has been. here. It was Mecidedly refreshing to hear him tell us of our weaknesses and warn us of the dangers of our present course of action. It was very pointed, but given in such a kind and fraternal spirit that none could take offence. The deep and thoughtful attention with which his address was received was indicative of the .strong impression which was made on the minds of those present. "Y tL : * , . He frankly stated that, in his opinion, real estate values were too high and intimated that we were frightening investors away because of this inflation of values. He also laid the laok of t industries, to this-'same cause and urged that we ' bend our efforts to induce good industrial concerns to locate here. ,.He told lis" we \yere inclined to be reckless because of the remarkable growth, that he regretted that' in building this new city t we had hitherto failed to jnake sufficient provision for air space around our buildings. Many other points were made^ jyhich should be remembered by Vancouverites.. Bis visit will, we \ hope, result in the acceptance p% Some of his sug- ' gestions and in improved conditions in our city. - The License Commissioners are being called upon to deal with the most perplexing problem .which it has been their duty to face ior many years past. We refer to the proper control of the "wine cafe." Sohie months ago we sounded a note of warning regarding this innovation into the life of this city, pointing to the grave danger in allowing these places too much latitude. Before entering into a discussion of the subject permit-us to say, that in our opinion the Commissioners are striving to deal with the matter in the best interests of the public". They are, we believe, perfectly sincere in their efforts and honest in their motives, at the same time we feel certain that if they follow the suggestions of extending the hours again to midnight that a serious mistake will have been made "and that the .commissioners will be /guilty of a grave error in judgement. - ' The .problem, of the "Wine Cafe," is a new one in'Vancouver and consequently no onev' .should too hastily condemn the, actions of the Sir Edward Tennant, in a most'thoughtful and eloquent address before" the Canadian Club, stated that in his opinion we, on the Pacific Coast/were holding a most important position in relation to the empire, because of the possibility of war between America and Japan. Sir Edward pointed out the fact that neither Japan nor Germany had ever acknowledged the Monroe Doctrine, and, in fact, evidences pointed to an early dispute of the rights of America to asert such a doctrine. Sir Edward is a cool, thoughtful man. well versed in international affairs. He is a close observer and is very widely travelled, so.we can attach great importance to his utterances on such matters. His view of the aggression of Japan is borne out by the fact t bat there are located in Cali- ��������� fornia, Oregon and Washington, over 60,000 trained Japanese soldiers under t lie' guise of laborers.. Then, in the Hawaiian Islands is an- ,'olfcer.very storng contingent. Mexico has also a 'large number, as also have'the'Queen Charlotte Islands and other British Columbia points.

These people have succeeded in planting colo- , nies in Canada and are living in absolute defiance of the laws ;o| the1 land as regards plurality of wives' etc. Then the anarchist,who denies the,rights of government js allowed to teach his pernicious yreedi under the name of socialism and has succeeded in completely confusing in the public >mind the identity of the two. True socialism is a , politicardoctrinewhich maybe-taught with prof-- ��������� it to all. But the blood-thirsty, law-defying rant , which' is poured forth into the willing ears of the Mgnorant should never be tolerated in any self- |respecting community and is an insult to the in- [telligence of our citizens. Another source of continual* danger ������to any [country which allows too much freedom is the woman Hierarchy. We do not refer to the Rodman Catholic Church as a religious denomination, for we count among our friends many adherants t>f that faith and deeply respect them. But we' re- Jfer to those religious orders, such as the Jesuits, [which, dominate to a large degree the political side of this great organization. Especially must we continue to protest, as we mve in the past, against the offensive decrees of the Pope which set aside our most sacred laws land statutes,' such as the marriage laws.

It ,is: therefore only ordinary foresight to make provision, for what appears ^"be ttie inevitable/ * ' v ' The sewerage scheme for a Greater Vancouver has received an auspicious start. All the districts affected are ready and willing to participate in this huge undertaking and a committee of two from each district will be appointed to carry out the scheme. Al^latt-JMbnday's conference, it.was clearly evident that sound,' comnion- sense Was to prevail in this matter rather than petty per* sonal feelings. There was one or two weak attempts to throw cold water on the proposals, but-the better judgment of the large majorhy prese&t soott'prevailed, with the result that a sane resolution was passed setting forth a general outline for immediate action,; ���������* ^ Mayor Taylor and Aid.. MacPherson kept insisting upon the employment of an expert engineer before anything was done at all. They persisted in stating that the scheme must be outlined by.aVexpert first In reply to this contention, it was demonstrated that it was Jm- perative that we first secure-Complete data're' the topography of the country, or ia other words, a survey.of the whole district and a contour map," with detailed* field notes. This could be d^ne^by any competent engineer*' and when the data was complete then k would be/tone to call in the expert to work, out the scheme.

These' places are. Usually, rastitu- ' ��������� - - - " - v - " ted for the r| express purpose^ of cateringjto the licentious 'appetites bf man?r Tlie, good meals are only incidental there-to and serve, asj a cloak of respeetibilit^. Most of those who frequent these places would give as their reason "the excellent meal" and in many cases this would be true, especially of those who go before 8:3Q or 9.o'clock in the evening^ but ninety per cent of those who go after that hour are attracted by the alluring music, the fashionable company, the wine, and we fear, largely by the "atmosphere of abandon" which characterize them later on in the evening. The "Wine Cafe" is the common meeting ground* of the smart respectable set and the fashionably attired element of the under-world who creep from their'" low immoral surroundings > into the highly unmoral society of their more fortunate fellows. Thejine of demarcation between social respectibility and social degeneracy is very faint _inl these places. __ 7_ ir We can only describe the nightly scene in a wine cafe as���������a company of merry pleasure-seekers who have abandoned themselves to the noble occupation lof satiating themselves with the artificial exuberance which inevitably accompanies champagne and mixed associations. This form of indulgence lends itself to one certain result to those who constantly seek it viz moral degeneracy, and to those who frequent them occasionally ,the effect is moral apathy. JThey are the curse of Continental Europe and America and if encouraged here we shall suffer as a results There is no1 reason under the sun why cafes cannot serve, choice meals without this wine-bibbing custom as a part of the institution. It is not the liquor used at the meals which is harmful, so much as that which is consumed later on in the evening. -It is a rare sight to see a bona fidi guest of a hotel drink themselves drunken at dinner, but it is a common thing to see young men and young women, and older as well,'-intoxicated late in the renings at these ��������� cafes.. It is the carousal late in the levening whicii does the most injury. We therefore assert,-most emphatically, that every effort should be made to discourage the practice^ of drinking late in the evenings, this can most easily be done by closing Up the licensed premises at a reasonably early ��������� hour.7. At this point the objection will be made that "yoii must serve liquor..with'meals to guests at all hours." We are aware that this is the cause of riiuch; confusion and abuse of privilege, but would suggest that in" view of the difficulty experienced in defining the word "guest^" that this privileg:Y;be limited to reasonable hours. We defy any. man to go to a hotel and find the diri- ingYrbom open except at reasonable meal hours arid no one" expects-it-to" be.-' The "Grill "is often open late in the evening, but this is specially to ponder to this drink craving custom which we have been,;referring to, and not to serve late ���������'meals.-'".at all. No hardship will be imposed oh any man by limiting the "drink with meals" to certain reasonable hours.-:-v We sincerely hope that no retrogressive step will >ft taken by the commissioners because of the i Yilties which present themselves in dealing Avith this "���������question,-��������� but that a firm attitude will be assumed in t^ie public interest and for the , sand thus make wise provisions for possible con tingencies.

The location is a good one and easy of - access. It will be necessary to fix, the roads up by rocking them.* This can be done at a small c\>st ,to the city. The site will cost $39,300, leaving about $25,000 for a building. It is stated the price was high. This is true, but it should be remembered that it was necessary to secure at least 10 acres, which is not easy to get in one block and this piece was the lowest offeied that = was^suitable; Now-th7e ~site-rlras"t)een~otoairied- no time should be lost in getting the buildiuj up. The present hospital is now overcrowded, and tents are being used for the patients, which makes imperative a new building at an early date. jteqipjioQiinr. EMPIRE e . SOUDAJtITT. The reciprocity agitation, the Japanese activity in Central America, the interest Germany is taking in Mexico, and numerous other international incidents is the cause of much renewed interest in the question of empire solidarity. Conspicuous among the in trances whicii have been made recently is that of LordvCharIes Beres- ford, when he urged the 'consummation of an alliance, offensive and defensive, between-the British empire ajnd the United States.' From present appearances .Uncle Sam may soon find himself in such a position that the presence of the British fleet along tlie Pacific coast would be a very welcome-sight to; him. Be that as,it may, one thing is '.certain,' the time is coining when the Anglo-Saxon nations will ..-be obliged to. stand together or else take a secondary place in inter- nation aLaffairs. Such a thing would not be for the universal good. No other nation or race will maintain peace so equitably'as Britain has done. For the best interests of humanity it is essential that Anglo-Saxon supremacy be perpetuated, and by an alliance with America we could go a long way; towards this end-. Reciprocity in the way suggested by Ottawa is only a step towards dis integration of the empire. Free trade throughout the empire, with the United States included, would be a step towards greater consolidation of the Anglo-Saxon race and also towards World-wide peace'and general disarmament. public good. The throwing open of bars until midnight will not lessen drunkenness. The quibbling over matters upon which men differ, will jever solve the question or add dignity to the mayoralty office, but only wise, firm and united efforts will successfully cope With such problems as these. ��������� i vA"; few weeks;ago eleven meinbers of'.ithe; 3oar3>Y of'Trade of thiscitypassed 7a resolutionfavoring7 reciprocity.

There is a strong undercurrent: of- opposition- to 7 this reciprociay agreement, which is beccuiimg 7 more intense day by day, and we contend tfiat;^ the only way to adequately test public opinion would be for the Government to go tathe country on the question. Those favoring the agreement should remember that because "free trade" in England was a success, it is no reason to asert it will'be in Canada. England to-day is suffering because of free trade, not because the policy was wrong-'in past years, ���������but because times have changed. When England adopted free trade she was supreme in the manufacturing world and consumed large quantities-of raw material and therefore could afford to open her ports. But to-day Germany.-and'America are almost equal to. her in'-manufacturing, and England will"be forced to make -new. fiscal, amin.ge- ���������jnents-to meet new conditions. Canada forty '.years,, ago'had no. home market, no manufacturing ��������� and an 'over-plus .of farm produce, and consequently required a market. Europc;was too far, with the then existing mode of transportation, -but to-day -with'.modern transportation facilities and cold storage and a wel developed home mar- j ket we can dispose of, all our farm produce. In tl^e old days our market was worth little to America, but to-day with its vast agricultural developments it is an extremely valuable market for the American manufacturer. There is no analogy between the circumstances forty years ago, or even twenty years ago, and those of to-day. In fact the situation is almost reversed. It is also well for the farmer to keep iri mind that while he may now pay higher for his m<lehin- ery than under" reciprocity (and this is a debatable point) he also gets more for his wheat now than would be possible under reciprocity. We are of the opinion that the majority of Canadian farmers do riot want reciprocity, but are ' quite satisfied with our present fiscal policy, except that they would prefer a more extensive preference tariff within the Empire.

Nearly every magazine, and many newspapers and books, besides statesmen, politicians and young debaters, are discussing what's wrong with the world and how to mend It. It is a wholesome quest, but it all comes to this: Wrong is in the heart of man, and when that wrong goes out everything will be righted. When the Sermon on the Mount is put into general practice, most, if not all, of the complex problems of civilisation will be jolved. The most earnest students of social* conditions confuse two sorts of misery, mixing up the physical evils of want���������cold, hunger and dirt���������with the far more deeply-seated Ills that ��������� lie somewhere ln the moral nature of man. OUR FIRST GREAT 8UFFRAGETTE. A woman of rare mind and attainments even rarer in her day was Margaret Fuller, who may be called with truth the first great woman advocate of woman's rights in. this country. Born in Cambridgeport, Massachusetts, in 1810, she soon showed herself to be a natural scholar, wrote Latin verse at eight, read the Italian poets at ten, and devoured voraciously the German metaphysicians. Her book, "Woman in the Ninteenth Century," was a strong plea for social and political enfranchisement. . She *k������s lost in a shipwreck off the south shore of Long Island while* returning from Italy in 1850. STATEMENTS UNDER OATH. The bore is not necessarily a person of deep penetration.

At le commonly, observed that among soldiers and Beainen, though there is much kindness, there is little grief; they see _their_ friend fall without any of the lamentation which Is indulged In security and idleness, because they have no leisure to spare from the care of themselves; and whoever shall keep his thoughts equally busy, will find himself equally unaffected with Irretrievable losses.���������Johnson.

PHONE 6571 COR. WESTMINSTER AVE. and FRONT ST THE SHEEP COMMISSION IN WESTERN CANADA. It will he remembered that an announcement was made some months ago of the apointment by the Minister of Agriculture for Canada of two special commissioners to undertake a careful investigation of the sheep industry In our own and in other countries where useful information and sugestions could be obtained. Tbe decline in the interest in sheep raising has been th e occasion j>t much careful study by many who have been closely associated with /the business of agriculture in both a public and private way. The exportation of sheep from the port of Montreal, which in 1894 numbered 139.780 head, and in 1895 210.617 head, has decreased until in 1910 less than a thousand were exported from that city. It has been noted also, ln a previous article, that the exportation of sheep' from Western Ontario to Buffalo has practically ceased. These exports for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1907, had numbered 130,817 head, but have declined until for the ten months ending January 31, 1911, the total aggregate amounted to not more than 787 head. Corresponding with this remarkable decrease ln exports from the country, there has been a gradual and substantial increase in the prices paid for both mutton- and lamb at our leading markets during recent years. These prices for the last two years, have compared i quite favorably with those paid in I Chicago and in Buffalo. - Comparing I even the priced realized'in 1909-and ' 19ib, it has been found by a careful {study.of the market'returns that the j average price obtaining in the Eastern ; markets during 1910 was practically ' one cent per lb.' higher than that paid In 1909. ''tn addition to these figures, It should be stated that market-reports at our'leading centres'during tbe last few years'do not indicate any very1 appreciable' decrease in the aggregate number of sheep and lambs handled, At the various market points. In 'several Instance's, the numbers ��������� reported for various years are noticeably close., -In this conection:the importation of 'frozen, mutjton and lamb Iflto Western . Canada is a "feature associated with durstud,y of the markets which should not be overlooked. Considered from any B,tanj}pplnJLJ&i8 laterYmove ment is a reflection uponT the' progress which sheep raising is making- In Can ���������4a. "\ ( t , In drawing a conclusion from tbe above statements, a few facts appear to be quite self-evident. In tbe first place, the numbers of sheep found in Canada to-day represent an actual decrease' of over half' a million head as compared with the census for the years 1871 and 1881. Further, taking into consideration the Increase in population, the number of sheep in proportion to the per capita of population will doubtless be found to mark a distinct decrease .when this year's census is complete. In the second place, in contrast to the above, tbe consumption of mutton and lamb in Canada is evidently growing in favor. Our home markets are_now able _to taike, ������are_ of practically the complete output of sheep from the farms of Canada. The increased price which must now be paid in the butcher shops and the continued local demand is a significant and satisfying evidence of this- statement. The whole situation is anomalous, in view of the fact that increased production has not yet atended increased consumption in the country. The appointment by Hon. Mr. Fisher of Messrs. Ritch and Dryden to investigate conditions in the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States has been the logical result of a study of the problem which has recently compelled atention. It will be remembered that Mr. W. A. Dryden is the son of the late Honorable John Dryden, of Brooklin, former Minister of Agriculture for the Province of Ontario. Mr. Dryden is a young man whc has already achieved.* creditable reputation amongst the sheep raisers and stock breders,. both of the East and West. His intimate knowledge of Canadian, conditions has peculiarly fitted him to undertake the present investigation. Mr. W. T;- Ritch, the second commissioner, has.had familiar experience as a wool buyer in the leading wool markets of Great Britain and as a representative of English cloth manufacturers in Australia and, Canada. The Department has considered itself fortunate in securing a wool expert who, while evidencing detailed knowledge.'of'his business, has, at the same time, shown a sympathetic interest in the encouragement and development of the sheep industry in Canada.' The commisicners have completed a three months5 visit to the United Kingdom and have already made a tentative report of their inestigation there.

Lord Chesterfield said that a gentleman is never in-a hurry, and the Scrip, tures teach that "he that believeth that not" make haste." The truest mork of power is repose. The most gigantic forces in the uni- z**Z 1 verse are silent. The sun lifts millions -*g of tons of water from the seas daily, besides supplying all other cai th-forces yet how quietly it shines! Thunders, volcanos and all boisterous things are weak compared to it. In a factory there is a furious rattle among the spindles in the top story, but little power, for you could stop a shuttle with your finger; as you descend the noise decreases and the force increases; until in the basement you will find the huge Corliss engine, moving like a whisper, yet with such energy in its silent arm that It could crush you like an eggshell. ' AU noise is waste. If we could save the nolae of the trolley car or the locomotive we would have that much mor dynamic. It behooves men, therefore, to cultivate repose of manner, simple and modest apeech In gentle tones, for their weight ln the world ia In inverse ratio to the bluster. The lamb is. the mildest of creature., yet tbe Apocalypse tells us that in the. Day of Wrath men will call upon the mountain to tall on them and cover them from the wrath of the Lamb.. ..Tbat la a picture of the awful power-ofgentleness.

The first-named occasions will not call for the muster of more than 40,000 troops, but the subsequent events demand that about 56,000 men of all ranks should be on duty.

After a comprehensive though brief review of conditions at tbat period, the Doctor called upon Miss Margaret McQuillan, Miss Beatrice Thompson, and Mr. Gilbert Hall to sing, as per the items in the program as given below. Their selections were charmingly given and won hearty applause, Mr. Hall's rendering of 'bis item being toucbingly effective.' Then followed a short history of the famous organ son- ataty from which Mr. J. F. Johnstone played two movements with great taste and correctness; after which followed some of the (one might say) familiar history of Mendelssohn and his family, which seemed especially acceptlble to the_ audience,, and brought _on _in_ its turn a consideration of the Choral works of the great master. This was a great moment in the evening, it being the point at which the choir came in. Firstly the unaccompanied vocal trio ���������nicely sung, and then the beautiful chorus.

People are very often head to say: "I thought it my duty to do such a thing." It too frequently happens that what they thought it their duty to do was some mischief which lay ten miles out of their way. At a fair computation, fully one-half of the bad things done, out of the ranks of the avowedly vicious, are done under the impulse of a sense of duty.

TELEPHONE 447 WHY? WHY? "Ob! this Is a cruel world," she groaned In anguish. ."Yes, sister," I replied, "It is; but there must be justice, sometime, somewhere.''' But that was cold comfort for this poor woman smarting under the wrongs and Injustices of life, and so powerless to help herself. And as she passed out into the street with her burning sense of wrong and tbe look of utter hopelessness'upon her face, and her whole .appearance of one haunted by a cruel destiny, I 'sdt and thought deep and long into the silent hours of the night. Thought of the mass of suffering, struggling womanhood. ' As the vision of misery, ignominy, humiliation, wrongs and injustice passed in rapid panorama before my mental gaze, maddening waves of rebellious thought surged through the brain, and - I .exclaimed, -Oh!_jwhy, _why^tias���������woman_no__D_ei liverer? Is there such a thing as Freedom? Is there such a thing as justice? Or is it all mockery? In a land of so- called freedom, alas! what tyranny reigns beneath, the: mask of society? Tyranny, like a gnawing cancer eating out the very vitals of woman's life, tn the domestic, in the social and economic realms, borne with patient enduring fortitude, only once and anon, when stung beyond endurance does, a cry escape her lips. Is there no redress for the'grievances of poor woman? "Indeed!" I hear a certain objector say, "what grievances, pray, has woman? The conditions of life are very favorable to woman." "Grievances!" I exclaim in disgust. ,. "Why, they're-too many to enumerate. Take one or two examples: Man enjoys the eight-liour system, but woman must toil, ten, eleven, twelve hours'.' Why? Is she the stronger human machine? Is this just in a Christian age? Again, she must toil those long, weary hours for an unequal wage which means a life-and-death struggle to the poor widow with five hungry mouths to feed. Others, girls and unmarried women, often do not receive a living wage and so go to swell the Great Social Evil. Is it any wonder? Think again of the thousands of toiling wives, whose work is never done, yet whose j reward "is-but the bare necessities of life, ri' ny of whom would regard the wages of a good Chinese cook as a fortune. Then, if throughsudden sickness she loses a day from her post, her vacant place is immediately filled. Is this just? . Again, she can work "like a horse" in assisting her husband to build a nice home, but he, dying intestate, that home is taken from over her bead, and she is cast homeless and penniless on a merciless world. Tell me, is this just? Again, she has no right of possession even to own children. It certainly is remarkable that she's permitted the right of suffering to bring them into fr.H'4''M''t''H''l''HHH,M''M^fr^ _* I t f * i t i t ���������A. - % i i * ?��������� T 5* T v f * X T I * i ��������� i * i ��������� ������������������f * A small cash payment of $125 will secure for you a splendid lotr 33 x 122 in a beautiful locality, fast building up.
