VANCOUVER, British Columbia, AUGUST 18, 1911. No. 15 THE QUEBEC NATIONALIST r We believe that tho present is an opportune Itiine to-utter a word of warning re the French ���������Canadian Nationalist of Quebec. I The French Canadian people, a^ a people, are [bright, energetic and thrifty and capable of bc- Icorrfing eminently useful citizens. The French ���������Canadian under the yoke of the Jesnitical-Triest- Ihood of the Koman Church is another creature, (rile at once becomes a mere tool in the hands of a jlpseudo-religious political organization. An >r- ifcanizatiou which has been thoroughly discredited land denounced in nearly all the Roman Catholic leountries of Europe. '��������� ft' We'should not be charged with being guilty of Iwnse to the Roman (Catholic Church because we llpnounee the, Jesuits. We are simply doing what unillions of members of that church are doing the lyorld over. The difficulty is that this political, lutrigueing. insinuating society has obtruded it- lblf to an abnormal degree into our political life, jlnd these circumstances demand some consideration, y" y y They'left. forever, the impress of their baneful lifluence upon the new provinces of the north- jest iu denying them the right of controlling keir educational systems and their saddling a J_rnicious system of separate schools upon them, flhey openly defied Manitoba to extend her bound- ties, aud the Papal ablegate at Ottawa dictated lie terms; upon which the Manitoba boundaries |uld be'enlarged. viz.. separate schools. The 'test, move of oiir Jesuitical friends was a eare- jfil canvass of the late parliament so as to find out rcaetly where each member stood as to the Iftrests of their church. As a result of this cau- l_s everv man not known to be tractable^ ftnd Ivorable'to the intrigues of the society will be Iposed by them with all their subtle influence, fin our opinion? if the Jesuits were expelled from Inada as they Yhave been frpin France, Italy, trtngal and other countries, the two races, iiglo-Saxon'and. French Canadian, would soon Icome assimilated and all the raeial feelings, now 1 keen, would disappear. .We have a great ad- Jration for our French, brethren in Quebec, but Ir the Jesuits-and their offspring, the National- Is. we ean ehtertain no sympathy. The time has arrived when public men must Cognize the necessity of overcoming the racial eiudice between' the two races, and the eliminate, of the line- of demarcation 'between them. |s ean best be done by combating the influence Ihe emissaries'of a foreign potentate and by asking to implant the great broad principles ot ftaration of church aud state, and of public Ication, x hicre is a'growing-distrust in Quebec of the \rch authorities 'because of their tactics, aud Bi it is a desire for better educational facilities i more progressive'municipal'systems.

WATERED STOCK s Thirty years ago this would have been fair business for Canada,, as she was '$ then viewed, and as she viewed herself, among the nations. *' The Canada of that day, as9vieweel by herself and others, was thought to be a | ��������� ��������� narrow fringe of territory stretching across the continent and jammed up be- | ��������� ��������� tween the Arctic regions, which were termed "The Great Lone Land/' "The Barren J ��������������� "Land," etc., etc., on the one hand and the United States, then supposed to contain | <��������� practically all of North America suitable for white, men's occupation, on the other. % \\ When the prairie provinces began to be discovered by Canada, and the C. P. | R. teas projected by Sir John A. MacDonald, those who remember the fight against $ j������ the construction, by "The Syndicate" will remember that the opposition cry. reiterated from every platform and in every opposition journal ivas "The prairie is not fit for a goose pasture and the road will never pay for the axle grease of its rolling stock. The status of the Dominion was simply'that of a "Colony," and the ambition of ��������������� the country looked higher. - ? Then'it was a question as to whether Canada was of much real value to herself f if left to sfand- alone, or to Britain if she' remained, a colony of the Motherland. % Then the youth of Canada migrated naturally to the States to find a field of en- f ter prise with chances of success. , K Then, with transcontinental highways not built, with British markets only slightly developed, with prairies, ^forests, fisheries, mines, in territories containing the present prairie provinces and New.Ontario1, and in the great territories containing the several potential provinces yet to be created, all unoccupied and undeveloped, it seemed desirable to'secure American help and enterprise to enable the Dominion to do something to people and develop the habitable strip she then thought she possessed.

This practice has become the greatest curse of modern commercial and industrial life. It is the underlying cause of the high cost of living. It is one of the reasons for high freight rates. It is responsible for the insolvency of innumerable companies and the consequent loss to the shai'eholders. For instance, a meat combine is to be formed. The first step is to arrange to buy up all the smaller companies, for which it is customary to give stock in the new concern. But as stock is an easy thing to issue, and requires no currency,. very often the price paid in stock is much in advance of the actual value of the property, thus when the merger of. perhaps, a dozen or.more companies is accomplished, the capital of the new concern is many times the value of its assets. The v next step is to secure business which will pay a reasonable per cent, on the capital, and prices are adjusted accordingly. For instance, the assets of the concern may be only .$100,000. while its capital is .$500,000, then to pay 7 per cent, on the capital it is necessary to earn 35 per cent, on the actual amount invested. Now, it may happen that some energetic public servant inquires into the cause of the high price of meats, he is met with conclusive evidence that the concern is only pay- - ing 7 per cent, on its capitalization, and reports accordingly, and the public are lulled to sleep" with this knowledge and bidden to seek elsewhere" " for the reason of "high cost/' The same argument applies to high, freighty, rates. These are compiled from the amount of * dividends required op the M capital itock," irrespective of how or where that came from. Again, we are reasonably safe in saying that the "capital .stock" of most transportation companies isoften . .. unduly inflated and as a consequence the1, public Yc "iMMt pay.". .Then take a mining stock. - Per- J haps it was sold at 30- eents for a par value of $1.00. or on the sale of. a million shares only,$I00,- 000 is realized, gross. If the mine turns out' well the stock immediately goes sky-rocketing and a demand is made for "dividends.'' Now. then,- . the demand is for a*large dividend on $1,000,000, ' the capital, not on $100,000. the amount invested. We will suppo.c it is a coa! company and that a reasonable demand is 6 per cent, return on the investment. Now, then, the wages of the men (whicii is the chief item in the cost of coal mining) will be adjusted so as to pay������that dividend. TV 6 per cent, dividend on the million would pay 60 per cent, on the .$100,000, but that is not considered. If a labor dispute arises, the adjudication is made on the basis of the capability of the mine to pay its owners a "dividend.'' on what? Ms "capital." not its investment. This course of .irgument re the curse of "watered stock" can be extended to almost all branches of trade and industry. It-is the source of more unjust suffering to the workers than any other single cause and at ,-��������� the same time creates millionaires by the hundred. A simple remedy for all this would be to compel all companies to sell their stock for cash at par. and to make it'compulsory for such companies to show exactly where the capital thus secured has been expended. , We believe that all capital legitimately invested should have ;i reasonable .return, and iiu sound, economic objection could be made to that claim, but it is madness to-.expect that "mother earth" will produce dividends on "watered stock", amounting to. many times the. value-of the actual investment. The trust or merger spectre would soon be shorn of its terrors were such regulations": put into".force. Many concerns which to-day escape because they'pay only \\. 4 or 5 per cent, would, if������������������ properly probed, reveal a condition altogether different from that which is generally believed lo be tbe ease. Nature is capable of .providing for all-in prodigality if given a chance, hut we have no right to ask for returns on something which iii itself repre- . senls no value. THE CAMORRA.

In the early days of tbe settlement of New England the'custom of sending packages by neighbors who journeyed to different parts of the country was an established one. The notebook of Schoolmaster Joseph Hawley of Northampton, Mass., when be started on a trip to Boston was tilled with such varied items as: "Captain Partridge, a dial and a dish kettle;" "Son Joseph, speckled.red ribbon, whistles, buckles and fishhooks;" "A'shilling, worth of plumb and spice;" "Tv������ psalters, a bason and a quart pot." In "Old Paths and Legends of the New England Border" Katberin. M. Abbott says that It ts-as the same even'as late as Judge Lyman's day. His daughter, M.3. Lesley, writes of it in "Recollections of My Mother:" There were no expresses- then, and Bo'when it was known In the village of Northampton that Judge and Mrs. Lyman were goiuy to Boston���������and they always took pains to make it known��������� a throng of neighbors were comlug ln the whole evening before not oiily to take an affectionate leave, but to bring parcels of every size and shape and commissions "of every variety. One came with a dress she wanted to send to a daughter at school; one brought patterns of dry goods, with a request that Mrs. Lyman would purchase and br&g home dresses for a family of five. A.ud would she go te the orphan asylum and see if a good child of ten could be bound out to another neighbor? Would Mrs. Lyman bring the child hack with her?

Of this party tlie father of Wendell Phillips, John Phillips, was a conspicuous member. When Blaine's speech was made, Dawes and Hoar were senators from Massachusetts, and tbey both essayed some sort of an impromptu reply thereto, but did themselves little credit in parrying the thrusts of Biaine's gtitterins rapier. So when Wendell Phillips met Blaine on this occasion lie said to biiu laughingly. "I wish I had heen a member of this body lor about mi hour tbe other day when you made that siieecb at* tacking the Mas-achusetts Federalists."

In making tbe Edam cheese fresb cows' milk is carefully stniiued and tbe rennet added. As soon as the milk curdles the wbey is drawn off. aud the card, thoroughly kneaded. Is pressed into molds. This process is repeated until the whey has all been extracted and the curd is comparatively dry. It is then wrapped in a linen clotb and kept for teu or twelve days until quite solid. Then tbe cloth is removed and the cheese put into salt lye. Afterward, a little more dry salt is sprinkled on the cheese until the maker thinks it is salt enough to insure its keeping. It is next put into a vessel and washed witb whey aud scraped to remove the white crust. It is next carried into a cool room and laid on shelves, where it is freqnently turned. The ripening process lasts from two to three months, the round balls growing the fine yellow or reddish color peculiar to Edam cheese.

Sir:���������It is with a great deal of satisfaction one observes the. interest now being taken, in the preservation of a small tract of the timber standing "on what is one of the "Beauty Spots" of Surrey Municipality. And while possibly an unfair advantage is sometimes taken of your courtesy in permitting a very liberal use of your valuable space, for the discussion of subjects of more or tes������t publie moment, I would feel deeply grateful tor the privilege of once more drawing the attention of residents of the djg; trict, and of the public generally, 10 the1 advisability: of again making a united effort, having in view the preservation of that magnificent" natural beauty spot (constituting as it does tne unest natural avenue of timber existing on the Coast) traversed'by the _ ale Road, the main avenue of traffic (vehicular) through the district from east to west, and incidentally the route of the great international highway, from which so much is expected, and that is costing* so much to make it attractive. As has been stated before, it were wanton and-wasteful destruction to cut tne whole of this magnificent belt of giant timber, as a commercial advantage, in^view^of-the-proposal-touring-tour^ ists into the country, over this road, when thousands of people would go many miles tor the 'opportunity of seeing nature as It may be seen there. It occurs to the writer that we in British Columbia have so much of the excellent and beautiful; in nature, we cannot appreciate our advantages or in the slightest degree sympathize with; those who are not so favorably situated. 1 would ask your'readers to imagine the length of. time it has taken to produce that Ii rs t crop, and what it would cost to produce another like it; al-O, even if^they have no immediate" use for the preservation of : such a memorial for themselves, will they for a moment consider that at the present rate of development, in a : very tew years* the whole or Surrey Municipality will assume urban proportions, and then what would be the -value.-of this land and timber, as a public park for the inhabitants ot South Westminster, Port Mann, Steel fCity, the City, of New Westminster,- ietc'. The Writer feels the time is opportune now to put torth an united effort for saving this most valuable ;natural asset for the benefit of future generations. A way can be discussed to recoup those who are financially interested in. the matter, ami without doubt it can be arranged in a way ������������������satisfactory to all and thus a most attractive, convenient and central recreation ground may be preserved" in perpetuity for future generations.

It was my intention to visit Eastern Canada when my official work was finished at Winnipeg. But, owing to the extreme heat in Ontario, I changed, my plans and decided to take a careful survey of that region of Central Western Canada known as the North Prairie Country. And again my plan was changed, for I read in the paper- that there were some reports concern- impending danger to the town of Frank, in Southern Alberta, from Turtle Mountain. Some eight years ago there was a monster slide whereby a .mighty mass of rock fell from the verjj steep face of that mountain. When the mountain broke and precipitated an enormous portion of a limestone rock upon the town and valley below, the������ people were in bed and many of them awoke, in eternity. A large part of Frank was destroyed,, the line of: the Canadian Pacific Railway was wiped out for nearly a mile and the coal mining operations were put ont of business for a..time. The debris covered an area not very short of 1,000 acres, at depths of over 100 feet. Suppose there were only 600 acres covered, and put the depth at an average; of 30 feet, we get a mass of over, 000,000 cubic feet. One cannot gmsp._ the immensity of eight hundred million cubic feet 7And yet Inside7of a very ���������elation to the possibility and probability in the tutu re. the danger of another slide was not great. Though eight years have passed nothing of a serious nature has happened. Howeveiythere has alwa'_s> been a wearing, and a criibhins; oL the lace ot the standing, broken mountain There are small masses and lrre&ulai boulders tumbling down pretty much all the time.

The present crumbling process is well understood by those who have made careful examination, and no person pretends that there, is any serious danger from this source. ^���������What some people are afraid of, and on which they foretell danger, is quite a different matter. It is this. The west point/or peak, of the broken fountain, the peak nearest to Frank, stands up bare and menacing in appearance to those who look at the enormous, towering giant, somewhat casually, or superficially. On climbing the west shoulder and keeping close to the edge of the break of eight years ago, one sees some cracks in the back of the shoulder. There are two of such cracks quite visible. These, cracks are the real cause of the reports of - threatening ternal explosion, by an earth tremor, of an earthquake variety, or by a monster slide at some distance.

This is one of three especial Mountain slides which I might refer to��������� one in Norway, one in Japan, and one in Frank, Alberta. They all differ, and yet have many points of similarity.

"Boys, did your mother buy you any winter flannels before she died?" ;��������� These words were addressed to three little lads, half-starved, cold and motherless, as they lay crouched down in one corner of a bare and tireless room, which was all they could call home. Their fother, a hard-working woman, had been obliged to support husband and children through most of her married life by scrubbing floors and cleaning offices. One day, exhausted from the long strain, she dropped dead at her post. The doctor said "heart trouble"��������� and heart trouble indeed it was. And now the humble home was made more humble each day by the disappearance of what little household goods it contained���������to purchase��������� what? The necessities of life? No, to buy liquor for one who was now utterly unworthy of the title of father, so completely had rum transformed him into a brute. Scarcely two weeks had elapsed since the mother had passed away, when the above question was asked. The little lads shivering and trembling, replied: "Yes, she bought us each a warm shirt before she died." "Give them to me at once," he cried, and trie little shirts were taken off and handed to him. Right to the saloon went father and shirts,-' the latter to be changed into rum to satisfy the thirst of the former. The boys cried out from cold and hunger, but no father came to their help. Neighbors, however, responded, and soon the wretch was found, arrested, sentenced and condemned, and the boys placed in a home, where it is hoped some kind heart will love and pity them. Does tliis sound luike fiction It is truth, and the bar7 room was in the tenement district of New York City. Mayor, alderman, 7 voter, will you take the shirts from innocent, helpless boys, boys who some day, with pleasant home surroundings; might find a place among the honorable and mighty? Will you turn home into a place of misery and married life into wretchedness?���������then license, extol, indorse, commend the saloon. How long must the innocent and helpless suffer Just as long as Christian men license and sanction the saloon and not till this is outlawed, can we hope to see a brighter day dawn.���������National Advocate.

The increasing scarcity of help in Western Canada is forcing the farmer to consider the advisability of taking more generally to mixed farming, under which system the working of the average farm is more equally distributed over the whole year. He is also beginning to realize the great economic loss through the deterioration, of his land by an uninterrupted series of grain crops, while, at the same time, immense Bums are paid out of the country to Qntario and the United States annually for adiry products, poultry, eggs, etc., which he could raise and sell himself. The railway companies have reecntly cooperated with the officers of the agricultural departments of the Provincial Governments in a campaign to encourage mixed farming in the hope that the country may be made more self-sustaining and less dependent upon the single industry of grain- growing. Hutfield and First Class Stoker Fryer received . the worst injuries, and succumbed from shock soon after two of the men succeeded in scrambling through the stokehold hatch, though they, too, were extensively .scalded, and gallant efforts were made to rescue the injured as soon as possible. The steam was turned off and the injured and dying were tenderly brought ou deck by their comrades. The vessel- was brought to anchor, and with all haste the dead and the injured, who numbered five, were taken aboard the Topaze, which quickly hurried to Portsmouth, giving what succour was possible in the sick bay on the journey.

But private firms should be encouraged to build elevators along-the waterfront. With the one building, there will be four or five. j$till there. is plenty of room for more. "There is this to be, borne in mind also. If conditions continue here as they have been ever since navigation opened this season, and if something is not done in a Yery short time to remedy the congestion, the' grain shippers will lose patience, and you will find our Canadian grain being shipped through Buffalo instead of Montreal." m ^ *iftfr-M-'-;--}--;--;--;--I~^^ 1 j I ft* .? f s ? * f ! ! * * flROTTftff A SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT with the publishers we have the exclusive right to place the CANADA MONTHLY MAGAZINE in the hands' of the citizens of Vancouver and vicinity.
