FINAL CAMPAIGN SHOTS The fateful day draws near in which Vancouver's ciyic destiny will be in. the'Electors' hands lor good or ill. A few. parting shots, Messrs.. ELECTORS!! "Would you rather have a man work half a day ���������for a whole day's pay���������or a whole day! You know the difference between a half-timer's , work and a whole timer V :;! Findlay is a whole-timer; Taylor a half-timer. p Which will be able to look after the City best t Can there be any question���������for a sane man- but that Findlay ia that best mant Surely Vancouver is rich enough and big enough to demand the whole time of her civic head���������it is needed to keep the rest of the gang up to scratch. Findlay stands for efficiency of departments���������^ with the time and sense to make good on it. Does Taylor hnow anything of the work he is supposed to supervise I Talk with him and you will soon discover he either wasn't there���������came in late- left-before it was aver���������������r rthe. subject was not sufficiently interesting���������so that somehow or other he has only a general hugger-mugger sort of notion about the particular business you wish to learn from him. How can it be otherwiset A man can't run a big newspaper���������go in. for building Bpecs and .generally row his own boat, and at the same time be able to give sufficient attention^ to your affairs, Findlay won't promise yon anything and everything���������-like a good, sale business man, he wants to examine new proposals and see where the City is getting off at. One of hit strongest planks���������in whieb he is pledged up to the hilt for���������is a better and a regular c������r service. He will not go cap in hand to the B-CER. hut give them a straight from the shoulder ulti- t"r. Wtum.

Conservation of street ends and development of False Creek on both sides, Mr. Findlay is hot- afoot for. Also the cleaning up of our filthy streets-��������� as they may well be called during the past few weeks���������this would cut out the bread 4me--and give much needed employment.. Good roads throughout the City���������and the oc quiring of the Indian Kitsilano reserve are two more strong planks. James Findlay is not only a humane man but he is a Humane Society man���������and what that means, all lovers of our horses need not be told. Findlay believes in making each head of department directly r^mdWe to the Council. Findlay will not stand'for anymore Great Northern "shilly-shalling" but intends to make them live up to the letter and spirit of their agreement. W Taylor dimt sot Knot, why not t Every vote given for Findlay is a vote for efficiency���������whereas every vote given for Taylor ia for "a muddle���������through somehow policy." Which d> yon prefer? 'findlay is in strong sympathy with lowering the ojlt of living���������and will help do this in a practical way���������a dollar saved is. another dollar earned. Fiadley is tried and true. A fine, dean, strong man, such a one as the City has long needed. Electors, now is your chance. - Take It. Throw up your votes and hands for James Findlay, Vancouver's strong Mayor���������lest you have need to throw nip your stomachs, before you are well rid of Taylor^ GOD SAVE THE KING! -fl* .'-��������������������������������������������� A HEW FEATURE Hereafter a new featurevbf.interest to our readers, but more particularly to architects, engln- ������$ers, contractors, builders and dealers in building material will appear regularly in the Western Call. The Terminal Citjr Press, Ltd., has been fortunate in securing the services of a writer, who, by nature, education and experience is qualified to-edify and interest the above classes.

They are true: * 1. v He, the mayor, claims credit for reorganizing the legal department. This is true, but the reorganization consisted of raising the salary to $6,000, and engaging a man who has not the confidence of the Council, and who,' on two occasions, when on civic business at Victoria, disgusted those wno were with him by getting notoriously drunk. If for no other reason than this, Taylor should be turned down. , 2.. Taylor's most boasted accomplishment is, "the settling of the False Creek question." The greatest public crime ever perpetrated in the history of the city. On no single occasion, since the agreement was signed, has Taylor made the slightest attempt to enforce its terms, but, on the contrary, has always defended and protected the company. 3. His Worship then appeals to the union men on the ground that he "secured the r^hour day." We a^ The answer is, that during the tenn of office of Mayor Taylor the civic work has passed almost entirely into the hands of American Italians, whose vote is "delivered" by the "boss" in the latest approved American "boss rule" style. Taylor has never once opposed this, or'spoken of it in any way, shape or form. But he has imported an up-to- date American politician to mm his campaign. Again we ask, "Are you satisfied to adopt the corrupt American political system!" If Taylor has not openly advocated this, he has paved the way for its introduction by allowing this type of labor to come to the city, and already we see the result in some of the most revolting crimes in the annals of criminology. ;- j - 4. Taylor says, "I have secured for you the right to construct your own telephone system." He should add, "but I privately arranged with Farrel that I would not permit construction, and have kept that promise by obstructing every effort to break the monopoly of the B. C. Telephone and by protecting them. 5. He also claims credit for brmgmrabout the joint sewer scheme. Never by word or deed has he, done anything to facifitate this work He has been a dead weight to carry. ;';^':;!- . ","''" :'-:'">'.

Odium; M.C., BSc.) . ; All thinking men know this statement to be" comprehensively correct." There is another of similar import which may be given thus: By their teethings ye may know their fruits. These two expressions I use as a foundation for a few remarks on certain living topics and conditions of the day. The use of deadly explosives comes'directly from the islse and foolish teachings of the Anarchic street preaching, the platform declaiming, and the extreme Socialistic press of the continent, as well as of Europe, Britain, Australia, New Zealand and a few other countries. These street orators, and savage press writings of the last twenty years have provided, an immense number of vicious men and women who would not hesitate to destroy human life and property at a moment's notice. The insane and murderous teachings of the past are, the predecessors of the murders and dynamiting* that are rampant today. . . .-.' Our newspapers, politicians, ministers, and professional men, have to recast their attitude towards the scoundrels who openly teach murder, fire and bosnb-tbrowing. iLast week I listened to one of those wiM men. He would, with his mouth at least, blow all money and corporations out of existence. And lol applause is given by an ignorant and vicious crowd of listeners. Home of our politicians are so cowardly as to dwarf into insignificance in tbe presence of this fire-eating, ignorant crowd. They temporize, and pretend that they agree with the teachings of men who are aiming, not at the general good, but at the destruction of life, property, and all restraining law. I say the truth. There are tens of thousands half insane in their ignorance and false teaching as a result of the unbridled savagery taught through the press, and spoken from the rostrum as well as at the street corners. No wonder we have "gun-men" in scores in our large cities. No wonder pillage, robbery, hold-ups and even worse-crimes are increasing. The teaching of the past twenty years on this, continent has had no example so vile since dependable history has been written. And our cowardly public men are growing more -afraid than,ever: By the teackmg, writing, rand public acting of today, we can safely predict a future terrible in its dire results. Not one man or woman on.the whole Canadian and Unistation coast is safe in going out at night on the streets, or even in daylight in lonely places. Our people have been sowing the wind and are reaping the whirlwind. , Now.they are sowing the whirlwind and later on will reap domestic, religious, moral, financial and national cyclones. "When will our public quit blaming the police department; and turn their attention to the LEGAL ACCOMPLICES DP ALL THE DASTARDLY CRIMINALS that are caught by the police! Let the worst desperado known to mankind get into the toils, and, lo! in a few minutes, he can have at his beck and call, for money, or fame, some of our cleverest CRBHNAL LAWYERS. The police are defeated on law points, ahd the murderous thugs, thieves, libertines, home-smashers, and other pests go at liberty, laughing at our tfcwrijnro^ by; lawyers for mbheyV These men ore caught to the . act of thieving, jrwte-snatcWng, or other criminal work; and still certain lawyers, for the sake of money strive to free them. Is tliis what oar laws and lawyers are fort It is time that the decent men of ''The Trades and Labor Organizations" take this matter up i& a hot and vigorous man- ;ner. Not too long ago I listened to a M. L. A., speech-making, and he openly denounced all law, and governments; and positively acclaimed amid applause that he would have no governing or restraining force to interfere with him and his fel- lowmen. ;������������������ ��������� <"Vu: 'u -,'' This suits tbe thugs, gamblers, thieves and similar scoundrels, as well as their accomplices, The vast majority of Canadians are^instinctively in favor of law and wholesome restraint, but they do not find time, or have not the inclination to give attention to these matters in a practical manner. I foretell one of two things: The masses will soon arise as never before and make it a danger for known criminals to be protected, petted and honorably discharged; or the masses will suffer more in the near future than ever in the past. ' What man ean number the thousands of poor- men's daughters, who are stolen away from their homes, and swallowed up so as never to be heard of again? Thousands of girls are annually stolen by the devil's vampires with the one object of making money. Let one of these brutes be caught, and he will be at once protected by "criminal lawyers." A good name at least! What about our police department! Untrained policemen, I mean untrained hi legal lor* and habit* are matched against experts in law,' professional criminal protectors, to an alarming extent. . . Our Prosecuting Attorney has so much to do in his various private duties that he has only a very limited time to give to the Police Court matters. He goes there quite unprepared concerning the details of the special cases coming morning after morning. I speak from a long and intimate acquaintance with these matters, and have no reference to any special Prosecuting Attorney. * He should have no other business. . He should be in the Police Court Or an office at hand, from, say, 9:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. daily.. Unless there is a very great change, our city will be infested by thugs and thieves in larger numbers, as time passes. Every "shady" person, man or woman, coming to town, should not be simply spotted and trailed, but should be forced to show how they are making a living. If there be no means in sight, then outside the city with them at once,! or at least coop them up as vagrants. I am talking of "shady characters." Many "poor nten and women, without means of support, are as worthy a place in our city as are the men of wealth and influence. But our policemen know of many who are bad, but as soon as they make a move, up conies the lawyer, and down goes the policeman. The lawyer gets dollars, the policeman defeat, the scoundrels liberty, and the public all sorts of thievery, fraud and highway robbery. Shall we stand for this! ��������������������������� ��������� ��������� A WEAK DENIAL f i </ "The jackal can in safety gnaw the tongue of '- r- the dead lion" and with equal present safety ; ' Mayor Taylor can deny the charges against him in ���������' >-' the columns of this paper by H. H. Stevens, who -"- is now on his way to Ottawa, and therefore eannot * ^ now re-affirm and demonstrate the charges. ��������� It is easy and safe to apply vulgar epithets to " the absent and to make a show of candor and courage in a noisy denial, but why did not Mayor - Taylor deny while Mr. Stevens was in the City. ' Is it not clear that tie feared exposure and pro- , dently adopted silence aa safe while the aconser was within hearing t There waa ample time and" ' opportunity given. Why the silenee broken only ' when denial cannot be challengedf -The roaaon is at hand and enough to convince readers of the MayorVcowardice.

One is a thorough British Canadian. The other is a thorough Yankee, and no denial will satisfy our people. All his methods are the methods of the ringsters from the big cities of the country south. Yankee managers, Yankee grafters, Yankee yellow journalists and Yankee methods are a degradation to any people. At our late Dominion Election, our strong British sentiments spoke out in the most positive manner, and these very sentiments are now opposed to the attempts to run our city by Yankee methods fovYankee Railways, and imported alien hirelings. -" ���������^ ��������� -���������^-r ^-;-^ Never since Vancouver had an existence as a City, did "it need to cleanse itself so much as at the present time. Let us by our voice teach these men who come in to show us how to run an election, that they are not wanted, and wUl'not bt tolerated in Vanooum. m They belong to the crowd, or country from which the hip-pocket-gun-men come.

He may be depressed and yet not feel that marriage, for him, is a failure; he may be captious and fretful, yet feel no irritation against his wife. I am not absolving men from the obligation to be agreeable to their womankind, not extenuating their frequent infractions to the code of marital amenities. I am only assuring you, for your own good, that these things are often the outward and visible sign of an inward and spirit- uad discordance which you have not caused, and' about which you would be unwise to grieve. Learn to wait and by and by you will find that business went wrong that day; or he sat in a draft, and all his bones ached with an incipient cold; or he had eaten an indigestible meal; (not at home, of course), and was depressed, he knew not why.

A Foreword. It was intended in this issue of the Western Call* to commence a series of articles iron a new viewpoint on this subject, but owing to our going to press earlier, an Introduction to thia important subject is all that can now be given. The startling disclosures in the famous packing case trials now going on across the line throw a lurid light upon the methods of the modern beet barons. No robber baron of old was more rapacious in his assualt upon the public purse than are these gentry of the combine to-day. There is only one way to beat these tree-booters and that la by playing their own game to .meet combine with combination. Many attempts have been made from time to Ume to frame up something that will check these dastards at their nefarious gamble with the public food. In these enlightened days, men of Imperial breed do not have to apologize to the Swifts, the Armours, tbe Griffins and the whole evil packer crew, for being on the face of the earth, neither do they need to pay tribute in the cold blooded way it is levied on them at present. It cannot have escupea notice of thinking men, that the price 01 ail Toodstufia are raised from time to time by an almost automatic process to keep pace with the increased rewards that labor wins by the sweat of its brow, which rightly should not be swept into the gaping coffers of the Swifts, Griffins, Cudahays & Co. How can it be prevented is certainly a great problem, but hard as it is, in tbe writer's opinion it is not incapable of a final solution, 'which probably means a slight sacrifice to begin with. Two things are necessary, strong organization and up-keeping a combination of the consumers, ^over 100 years. Truro itself is quite In short, wrest the robber packers! a moderate sized city, speaking without any references, it can not be more than about 30,000 or 40,000, and what a city of this size can accomplish in one generation, surely, all the Vancou ter in the light of a Greater Vancou-' ver, which everyone is epeaking of, it will be found that the location is well chosen in this respect. The project was a favorite dream of the late Bishop Dart, and it reflects great credit on Bishop de Pencier to have carried it thus far, the securing of a suitable' site being a matter ot difficulty and great importance to the whole project. Our pious ancestors were great men at site choosing, alt the many beautifully placed fanes of the Old Country yet testify. The real estate dealer was evidently easier to deal with in those days when subdivisions were unknown, and land registries ceased from troubling. : ��������� * ��������� The stupendous nature of the undertaking, if it is to be a cathedral worthy of the city and hot merely a large church, may be better understood if I give a few details of tbe leading. English cathedrals, to name half a dozen of the best known ones, we have: ''��������� " Canterbury, 514ft xHSft; built A.D. 1070. Lincoln, 482ft. x 223ft; built A.D. 1075. Salisbury, 450ft. x 206ft; built A.D. 1220. Winchester, 526ft x 208ft.; built A.D. 980. , York, 486ft. x 222ft.; built A.D. 1180. Exeter, 383ft. x 140ft.; built A.D. 1107. The great Metropolitan Church ot St. Paul's, built by the famous architect Wren, begun in 1675, completed 1710, measures 460ft x 240ft., the. height of dome being 363 feet above the street. .*������������������*.* Of modern cathedrals built during the present generation, Liverpool and Truro are the most, notable, the foundation of ths latter was laid by the late King Edward VII, as Duke of Cornwall 'in< 1,876. The dimensions of Truro oyer! all. are 303ft. x 157lt, and although a modern building is worthy to rank With the great cathe drals of the Middle Ages.

Main Street and Bodwell Road Phorte: Fairmont 1544 Rome and Marriage. Editor Western Call, Sir: ��� The editoro of the "Province" and the "News-Advertiser* not being con- in the statement of the. Rev. Father Comeau ? In answer to this question I beg leave to quote from a pastoral Issued to "the faithful" by the Bishop of Galloway: He says, "It has now again been declared solemnly,>by the highest authority,' that no Catholic can contract a Valid marriage outside the.Catholic Church; any such sacre- versant with Roman Catholic Church law, deem it prudent to submit their ligioua attempt is he to bide an act press reports to the Roman propagan- 01 foul concubinage; therefore, your da in Vancouver for It* opinion on public duty to God and to your own their truthfulness or otherwise. It is religious sense demands that you a very humiliating, position for an should unreservedly shun all assocla- editor to be placed, but still it Is the tlons and converse of any one who correct one. It is a position of humility and obedience. In fact, it is what the Roman Church demands from those who cower beneath her lash. Two lively illustrations of the attitude pointed put occurred a few days ago. Here is part of a statement made by Rev. Father Comeau to a representative of a Winnipeg evening paper and submitted,by the ditors of the papers mentioned, to Archbishop McNeil for an opinion: "Suppose a Roman Catholic and a Protestant wish to get married���we will Imagine the husband to be a Catholic. Tbe parties are married by a Protestant minister. The moment the marriage Is, contracted the husband has forsaken the Catholic doctrine and can no longer be recognized aB a true Catholic. The only way he can come back into the. fold is by getting his legal wife to be married to him by a Catholic priest, according to the conditions of the Catholic Church, that is, that she shall not interfere with the practise of his doctrine and the children shall be brought, up in the Catholic faith. If the wife refuse's, and he insists on coming back to the Church, the husband must take a vow never to live with her again.' "If, when reinstated as a Catholic, the man wishes to marry another woman, the ceremony to be performed by a Catholic priest," asked tbe reporter, "may he do It?' "Well," was the reply, "we try and getthe man to seek a divorce from the State first, because In the eyes of the law he is still married, and while the Church' does not recognise, we do not want to lay ourselves open to persecution. There is a" way ouU and that is by having a secret marriage." This is what a Protestant would call "letting the cat out of the bag." How indiscreet Rev. Father Comeau must have been when he thus gave himself away. Not himself alone, for (hat would be a small matter, but the infallible Church. The Church, with no two opinions. The archbishop in bis opinion Bays "What he Rev. Father Comeau is reported to have said Is Incorrect." Now, I venture to say had the editor of our two dailies forwarded the reports ^o the Vatican they would have gotten a different" reply as to that .furnished them by the archbishop.. When an should unhappily fall Into such abomination. Let them feel that they are utterly unwelcome and unfit to hold intercourse with you until they repent and amend by putting away tbe evil thing."���Pastoral Letter, Lent, 1909, P-4. v Rome in this marriage question is more insulting than most people believe. Indeed this phase of the question placeB the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Canada in doubt. It is strange how some of our Protestant ministers, know so little about Rome. Like Luther, they should go there for a season. Has the Pope any right, secular or divine, to declare that a marriage as performed by an Anglican, a Presbyterian, or a Methodist minister is no marriage and that the offspring thereof are illegitimate? A marriage that Is non-canonical Is considered no marriage. Here is the proof front a concordat entered Into between Pope Leo XIII and the republic of Columbia: "Article 34.���A marriage contracted in conformity with the rites of the Catholic religion annuls ipso jure a purely civil marriage previously entered into with another person. "Art. 35.���For purely civil effects the law recognizes the" legitimacy of the children conceived previously to the annulment of the civil marriage. In accordance, with the provisions of the last preceding article. ''Art. 36.���The man who,.after tiav-, ing contracted a civil marriage, afterwards marries another woman according to the rites of the Catholic Church is .required to provide subsistence to the woman and his children by tier until she marries canonlcally" ���Congressional Record, Feb. ll.toOS. Senator Morgan in commenting on these disgraceful' and heartless articles said "Gentlemen speak of Mormon- ism, which 1b intended in its worst feature to spread the rights of matrimony over a number -of females included in a family, not to destroy matrimony by an arganlc law that dissolves the marriage and sets the parties free from each other and taster- di7.es their issue. I will not ask you which is the worst system���Mormon I ism or Romanism." These are strong words. The r��a opinion was wanted on the Eames-Gor-! ann ia ,,.��������������� .. ^ ' . ��� i . . .... . i8oa ls Because the man who spoke gorza marriage all the facts in con- nection with it were forwarded to the Vatican. For the honour of the Church that does things "To the greater glory of God." I would advise the editors of the "Province" and the "News-Advertiser" in future to send their reports on questions of this kind to the Vatican. An opinion from the Vatican might not look so well in print. as a local one, for instance, but they it would be terse, clear, and ^convincing and thus give no room for heresy. If Father Comeau's words are not in keeping with a correct interpretation as they would have it at the Vatican, they must therefore be heretical. 1 wonder if the statement attributed to Mgr. Araette, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Paris, on the subject of the Eames-Gorgoza marriage has been read by the Archbishop or the priest. It seems that-the regularity of this them knows his subject. Most men now-a-days speak of Rome in favorable terms, because . they have only seen her at" her best. Let us remember, however, that she can be Inte- brand, unlovable and uncharitable in practice where and when she is in power. The Pope arid his marriage laws show this to be true, and when Rev. Father Comeau spoke his mind he gave venf to the truth���he uttered the sentiments of the Pope himself. CHURCHMAN. "Bella Vista," Cedar Cottage, P. O., ��� Vancouver, B. C. SURPRISES Life's surprises are not always of the most pleasant nature, but occasionally we are the recipients of delightful surprises, such as these two which we now mention. It was at the Xmas Entertainment of the Mount Pleasant, marrtage ~ ��**�� ��;^B;V�����co���e, M..O,,* Sun,,,- Sehoo.. lean and the was forwarded by Mgr. Amette to Mgr.; \ when the cheery Deaconess waB call- Falconl (now Cardinal). Mgr. Amette summarises the terms of that decision In these words: . "In the reply tbe Vatican explains that (canonlcally speaking) the marriage is exact." In the case of Mme. Barnes her first marriage was considered outside the Church; she was not even baptized, consequently she was considered an Infidel. The same is the case with Mr. Story. Such marriages are recognized from a theological standpoint, aB so-called "natural marriages,' but can be broken when one of the pair wishes to become a convert to Catholicism. It Is thus by a spontaneous act of faith, that one liberates himself or herself from the marriage bond/' This is simplicity in j itself, no costly dispensation, called for or required, and may be done in the day light without fear ot "persecution"���from the Vatican at least, or the state governed from the Vatican. There it is stated in unequivocal terms that either one or two non- Catholic persons who have taken marital vows may obtain release from these vows by the simple process of becoming a Catholic. These vows are dissolved in the eyes of the Church. Again, I shall quote for the benefit of the "Province" and the "News-Advertiser," from the Vaticans decision and as summarized by the Archbishop of Paris: "It is thus by spontaneous acts of faith that one liberates himself or .herself from the marriage j ed to the platform and presented with an envelope containing a gift of money from the "Young People" of the above church, with whom she is a general favorite. Her simllng countenance manifested her appreciation of such a useful ift. Even Deaconesses need the necessities of life. Not only the Deaconess but the Pastor's wife of the above church was remembered at this gift-season by the ladles of the W. M. S., who are always noted for.. their generosity and kindliness of spirit. The gift consisted of a beautiful amethyst and pearl brooch presented to her by Mrs. Beckett, the President of the Society, in a choice little speech of loving words which will be an highly appreciated by her as the useful and beautiful brooch. "Dear teacher," wrote Johnny's mother, "kindly excuse John's absence from school yesterday afternoon, as he fell in the mud. By doing the same you will greatly oblige his mother."���Comic Cuts.

A large audience attended the annual athering of the abdve^echool and was delihtfully entertained the whole even- ing. Several charming soloists were encored, and the sweet chorus by the younger girls was also much appreciated and instrumental music enjoyed. The Hocp Drill by sixteen girls was exceedinly pretty and ably performed and certainly reflected careful training;. As the varied shades of light, manipulated by Mr. Sparling so dexterously, were thrown upon their different movement, much applause was evinced by the spectators. The climax of the programme, however was reached when the curtain rose on an exquisite tableaux vivant enacted by fourteen young ladies. Most effectively were the changing lights made to play upon these scenes, and as tbe sweet notes of tbe distant choir singing- "Nearer my God to Thee" fell softly upon the listening audience, one could almost hear the angels' song and for hours afterwards could see the outstretched hands of celestial visitants who have passed on before, no wonder there was silence. The closing touching scene "Simply to Thy Cross I Cling" will.not soon be for- otten by- young or old. The Secretary's report for the year ending December, 17th, 1911, is most satisfactory, showin a total membership on Roll of one thousand one hundred and forty eight, inclusive of seventy-seven on the Cradle Roll. The total attendance for the year being thirty-one thousand and twenty-nine, with an average attendance per Sunday of five hundred and ninety-seven. The Sunday School collections for the year amounted to one thousand one hundred and four teen dollars and seventy-five cents.

Seventy ladies and gentlemen were present and most of them joined the evolutions of "the Hht fantastic toe" until the yearly hours of the morning. The Committee of the Hall had most seasonably decorated it; and the floor had been well prepared beforehand, so that the dancers could glide easily over the surface. The hbsts were Messrs. Campbell and Northey, and they were in- defstiglble in finding partners for all who wished to dance.

And the subsequent circulation of a petition denying tbe charge and the presentation of the same to a Roman Catholic priest If thoughtless young people attempted anything so foolish, which is not likely, it is to be lamented. No friends ot the Empire would care about rekindling a political light so completely snuffed put on that remarkable day; But why this ererlasting political kowtowing to any church. Is it not about time the Roman Catholic Church treated with the same courtesy and respect extended" to other christian churches. It must be nauseating to educated independent members of that church to think they are expected to swallow specially-prepared political hash during a Federal contest, with liberal doses of soft stuff between times. Let us bone that during the present regime no such scene will be enacted such as occured in Montreal when Cardinal Vaughn of the Jesuit Order of Roman Papacy surrounded by and in the presence: of our late Premier and his robed Ministers of State, so grossly insulted tbe Protestant Christian religion under the benign influence of which our great Empire and other nations of the earth have been so abundantly blessed, compared with the unfortunate nations under Romanian domination.

For the information of any electors in Vancouver who are not thoroughly conversant with the proceedings of the License Board during the past year, nor acquainted with the personel of the Board, we wish to point out that in our opinion, with all due respect to preceding boards, the board of 1911 was probably the most satisfactory to the great majority of citizens. Two members of that board are candidates for election on January 11th, namely, R. S. Pyke and Dr. Patterson, and their work on the board last year entitles them to the strong support of the electors of the city. While they have been>just and fair toward all parties having dealings with the board, they have succeeded in improving very materially the regulations governing the liquor traffic. The number of licenses have not been increased, and although several licenses were available according to our by-laws, and numerous applications sfor licenses were made, backed by much influence, not one shop license was issued during the year, and the number of hotel licenses now in operation are less than when these men took their seats on the board. Several of the hotel buildings have been improved during the year, and some licenses transferred to new and up-to-date premises in suitable parts of the less congested business area of the city. The licenses have been strictly confined to the business district, a^the only hotel lieense south of False Creek has been forced to move to new premises in the centre of the city. Through the efforts of these Commissioners the all-night drinking of liquors and wines in cafes and restaurants has been stopped, and this action should receive the approval of the great majority of our citizens. "We believe it advisable "that men who have had practical, experience on the board and who have given general satisfaction, should be elected to represent the city during the present year, especially as they have under consideration at the present time the establishment of a strictly defined license area for hotels, and the securing of proper inspection of the liquors offered for sale to the public; and as the new board will have to deal with the changing of the bylaws in order to carry out the proposed amendments to the city charter dealing with the restaurant question, and we therefore ask of our readers their support in securing the election of License Commissioners Pyke and Patterson.

The boat was seen by Brand floating in with the'tide on the morning of the 30th of July. She had been,nine days at ssa. Some survivor must have given the little one nourish- taent in that time, as a twelve-months- old child could "Hot pqssibly have lived, Jn all likelihood, the bank of. fog clung to the surface of the ssa and followed 'the tides, as there was little or no wind on the days following the loss bf the yacht. Again, there were provisions in the boat,' but no water, Why? Either the water^casks had started their staves when the smash took place, or a careless steward had failed to fill them. The next thing is the Identity of the boat.' By the stupidity of a sailor, one of the Esmeralda's life-boats was burnt to the water's edge in Norway. He upset a tin of petroleum whilst he was opening it, and a lighted match did the remainder. Indeed, he and another man at the Jars narrowly escaped death. A boat ras purchased, but accident cr mischance prevented the Esmeralda's (name being painted on it. There was p Norwegian port number on the stern-board, and this was smashed ���������way by tbe falling mast. As the sail Was trailing in the water when the jboat was found by Brand, It is es- ���������umed that the survivor or Burvlvors, Jwho paid some heed to the child, suffered from injuries which prevented him or them from hauling it .in. One man's body was found on board and he had been dead many days. Finally, we nave the evidence of the . child's clothing." i "The girls told me something of the Uory on the rock," said Pyne.

I guess the gray matter at th������ tack of my head would have become agitated by thought." "Yes, of course. I am talking to, you as if you were hearing this sad history for the first time."

TT THE KOOTENAY JAM WORKS at Mission City have been erected during the past year and equipped with modern apparatus and machinery for the manufacturing of jams and chocolates, and the canning and preserving of fruits, rhubarb, etc., grown in that wonderful fruit garden of the Fraser River Valley. The site, plarit and equipments cost in the neighborhood of'$10,000, and last season's output (their first season at Mission City) in fruit and'wages totaled approximately another $10,000. They shipped twenty-seyen ear- loads of jam, fruits and mince meat, and over fifty tons of canned rhubarb from their plant last season. This certainly speaks for itself for the enterprise and work of this new industry. J. O. M. Fox and B. H. Pox are manager and aeeretary, respectively, and have charge of the institution. They formerly operated in the Kootenay country for a couple of seasons and hence the name, where they established an excellent reputation for themselves and their products. Their removal to Mission City affords them a much greater field'for supplies and transportation. The installing of a chocolate manufacturing department in connection with the works is important, as it will keep- the plant running the year . round. The equipment ..for this department is scheduled to arrive the last of January, and in the not far distant future Mission City will certainly have a mission catering to the toothsome fastidiousness of the world at large and which no doubt she will dp to a queen's taste 365 days in the year, judging from the personnel of the Kbotenav Jam Company. ial gentleman to meet, and the stranger will he right royally treated who sojourns at. the Matsqui Hotel. O. A. ABBOTT is Mission City's leading general merchant.,. He has operated in the general merchandise department five years and has been a resident of" the district over twenty years. He carries a large stock of hardware, implements, harness, gent's furnishings, shoes, etc., etc. In the early history of the Mission District Municipality he officiated as clerk and assessor. He is a' prominent "man of affairs" &id has been a fruit shipper since 1804. He is one of the "pioneers" of the district who owns a nice fruit ranch adjoining the city^limits, several blocks of which are subdivided into city lots. When any worthymove- mc lit is on foot to boost for the Mission District; you will always find G- A. Abbott in the front rank. He was born in Ontario. THS MISSION CITY FEED STORE, under the management of Charles Winsdale, is one of the busy enterprises of Mission City. They are wholesalers and retailers in all kinds of feed and poultry "supplies. They do custom chopping for the farmers and are a factor of considerable commercial importance in the community. The concern started by carrying supplies for themselves, and the demand of outsiders requiring the same has created a big business. H. Winderbank, the proprietor, is "The Father of Mission City" and is an all-round hustler. He is also the owner of yn������ fine Bellevue Hotel, the Mission City Butcher iiShop, and; conducts the Mission City Light & W. J. KERR, LTD., whose line likeness appears above, is agent for fruit farms at Mission City.. His office is located at New Westminster, where he has operated in the realty business very successfully during the past seven years. He has long since become one of the great factors of the Province in selling fruit and dairy lands in subdivided tracts on easy payments. He earries a .staff of three experts to look after the mail and advertising department. 'He is a live wire and is extra well stocked up with literature for those desiring further and detailed information on fruit growing in British Columbia. Mr. Kerr is president of the Canadian Highway Association and stands in the front rank in all worthy movements aiming at the progress of the city and Province. THE MATSQUI HOTEL, conducted by Chas. B. DeWitt, affords first-class accommodations to all homeseekers, tourists, drummers and townspeople as well, at very reasonable rates, at Mission City. The rates are $1.50 per day and up. This house has been .established twenty years and has been under the present management during the past year and a half. Mr. DeWitt leaves no stone unturned to please .each and every guest who crosses the threshold of his hostelry. He is a native aon of the Sunset State of the. Golden West and haa had wide experience in catering with the public. Like all Californians, he is a sunny gen- AN APPRECIATION. The Editor of "The Western Call:" Sir: All members of the Anglican Church, or Church of England in Canada, will appreciate Prof. Odium's noble testimony-to its remote am cestry, its glorious heritage, audits elevating doctrinal teaching. .. \ Such testimony from a Methodist of painstaking .condition; and research, should do much to restrain the professors of Nonconformist Colleges from continuing to-, bolster up the monstrous termino logical inexactitude that the Church of England datesvfrom Reformation periods. Differ from the Mother Church, if your conscience is so disposed, but he honest like the Professor, and don't attempt to belittle the historical antiquity of what yon all spring from. JLagree with the Professor when he writes, "I assort most posir tivelv that this early Christian, British. Anglican Church, never, in toto. went under or into the Roman Catholic Communion." and to carry on his reference to the same under guise of a noble river, I will quote the pregnant words of the late Rev. Stephen Mawker.- which .bear out Prof. Odium's statement: "The transit of our Apostolic lineage through Romish times in England, is like the temporary passage of a well known river thrpugh one circumfluent lake; wherein, though the waters intermingle a little as they glide, yet the course of the mighty Rhone is visible throughout, in dwtinet and unbroken existence! So it is with us who haye inherited the genealogy of the Apostles in these lands'. We came from British fountains, we flowed in Saxon channels, we glided through Romish-"waters, but we were not. we are not, we will not be of Rome; for we will preserve, God willing, the unconquerable courses of our ancestral streams." That is the truth! as the. Bishop of'London said at .the. mass.meeting of men in Montreal: "Why j.am I not-a, Roman Catholic? Because I am an j English Catholic! And the vast meeting cheered j him to the echo for three minutes. j We are a branch of the universal or Catholic Church-, .and .here in Canada, to allow Roman Catholicism tVrappropriate the term "Catholic" entirely to their own Communion, is a sign of weakness .on'the part of the Anglican Church in- Canada. Yours truly. OWEN BULKELEY. . Jescphus. in his account of. the siege of Jerusalem, says. "When Titus was come into the city, he admired not only some other places of strength in it. but particularly- the towers, and expressed himself after the following manner: 'We have certainly had God for our assistant in this war. and it was no other than God that ejected the Jews out of these fortifications; for what could the hands of men. or any machines, do towards overthrowing these towers?' " Well might Moses claim that God had sent him when his powerful and envious foes were so strikingly overthrown. TAKB NOTICE, that. S������ day* Stam date, we. Kenneth P. uathMon, mtajtp. and John V.
