It is one of the things that rip "fellow can understand why the workingmen should thus vote against their best interests; but, apparently, the Single "Gold" Standard has seduced the voters of Ward 5 as it has all the Nations of the Earth "with the wine of her fornication." The legal action commenced by Mr. Woods may give the voters of Ward 5 the time and chance to reconsider the verdict at the polls. If it does we shall be glad, for we regard the Gold campaign as having greatly injured the good name of the municipality, and look forward to a continued Gold regime with shame. BOSS MURPHY OUSTED.

Solicitors Notify South Vancouver Council They Consider Mr. Gold Disqualified. South Vancouver, March 11.���������Messrs. Bowser, Reid & Wallbridge, solicitors for Mr. Woods, a South Vancouver ratepayer, have notified the reeve and council that they deem Mr. Edward Gold still disqualified to sit as councillor by reason of the fact that he is defending an action brought to recover penalties due the municipality because he voted at council meetings while not entitled to sit. Graft is today a word to conjure with.

New residents were pouring into South Vancouver by thousands and optimism reigned everywhere supreme. We all know now���������as we should have known earlier���������that such a state of things could not last forever, and that sooner or later there would come a "stop-order" time. Bilt hind sight is al: ways better than fore sight, and many of the present day foremost calamity howlers, who are accusing all our officials of incompetency and our councillors of graft, were amongst our very foremost real estate boosters and general optimists. .'':'': ''���������... ' This is wrong; The Western Call believes���������- and with some reason���������that South Vancouver is being maligned in its officials, and that the campaign of false statements, malicious inuendoes and loud charges of graft are doing that fair municipality a great injury. But above all the Western Call insists that the stoppage of the very much needed work of paving is doing South Vancouver a double injury���������first, because every cross road from River to Inlet is impassable; second, because the paving work would have given employment to at least 600 men at a time when the business interests of the community needed assistance. It is not true that South Vancouver could not float her bonds. It is not true that the contract price of Main street paving is absurdly high. > It is not true that wood block paving is out of date, or inferior in quality and duration, when properly selected, treated and laid, wood block paving is peerless among pavements today.

THOMAS CUNNINGHAM SERIOUSLY HURT The Call is sorry to learn that the British Columbia Fruit Inspector, Mr. Thomas Cunningham, met with a sad accident in Victoria, by which he had an arm broken and suffered other serious wounds. As a result he has to spend some time in St. Joseph's Hospital in Victoria. We extend to the sufferer and his excellent wife, Mrs. Cunningham, our most sincere sympathy, and trust that he will soon be around again to attend to the public work which he has so much at heart, and in which he has won a name as an expert second to none on the continent of America. It is not always that a man holding an important public trust is wedded to his work so that in and out of season, day and night, it is his chief theme and thought, as has been the case with "Mr. Cunningham. Our efficient and popular Fruit Inspector is one of the earliest of the pioneers of British Columbia. And he has been one of the Province Builders in more senses than one. In fact at every turn for nearly half a century, Mr. Cunningham has been associated with almost every public matter of any great importance, and has given the best of his splendid head and heart to advance the interests of the Province in every possible way. In additidt, he has always been right-minded towards the Dominion of Canada as a whole and an Imperialist of the most intense and loyaL type. We trust and pray that he may soon be around as has been his custom for so long a time. His duties are important and of the highest value to the country. His friends all over British Columbia wish him a speedy recovery, and a return to his public service for which he is so eminently fitted by nature and experience. 1 VANCOUVER EMBROGLIO It is said that the letter from Messrs. Bowser, Reid & Wallbridge to the council setting forth the lega/ disqualification of Mr. Gold as councillor, was handed to Clerk Springford about 3 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon during session of council.' It is further alleged that Clerk Springford suppressed this letter during that council meeting, handing it afterwards to Mr. Gold, and that certain councillors, when seen after the meeting, were not aware that such a letter had been received. The Western Call demands & thorough; sifting out of these allegations. If these things are true the responsibility for this default of duty should be brought home���������if untrue they should, at once, be officially contradicted. THE ACTION AGAINST MR. GOLD It appears that the action against Mr. Gold is taken by a ratepayer���������a Mr. H. Chester Wood, and is brought in the name of the municipality. Mr. Gold practically gave away his case by resigning, and the new action is taken on precisely the same legal grounds. To make the case clearer still, the old Act reads: "Any person having an unsettled disputed account against or due by the municipality is disqualified." Whereas the new Act, which is how law, says: ���������. '' Any person having an unsettled or disputed account against or due by the municipality or , against whom the municipality has a disputed or unsettled account���������is disqualified." ' There seems,then to be no uncertainty about > the unseating of Mr. Gold again. Further, the Act etear)y;-^a^s'iihat-:any^|tate^yer:; may bring action on behalf of the municipality���������same being entitled to the benefit of any penalties recovered. FHWT BE WOUWf A*P THEN HE WOULDN'T Mr. Gold seems to be in a quandary. On Tuesday afternoon newly-elected Councillor Gold took his seat on the council���������thereby, we understand, making himself liable for another maximum penalty of $2,500���������but that after receipt of lawyers' letter���������more sober thoughts prevailed, and Mr. Gold did not sit on committee at Thursday's meeting. HONOR Tfl m HONOR IS Wi Prof. J3. Odium, M.A., BSc. No. Two. ___ - jn last week'si"WesteW"traii7un1ieiMtW_above~ heading, I spoke in high terms, and truthful too, of the stand taken by the Roman Catholic Church in opposing legislation, making divorce any easier than it is at present. I presume that certain Protestants imagine that I went too far in my praise. And in addition, I took pains to say something anent the deadness of the present day Protestantism as manifested in many directions. Let me give these good Protestants another knock or two in passing. I said that "Protestantism has grown loose-jointed, morally lax, unorthodox, useless and practically decrepit." Now, let us look at this a moment. Great Britain has a larger percentage of Protestants than any other country on earth. In fact the percentage must be about eighty-five or ninety. This is large enough to make comparisons. Here is how I go at this question. British Protestantism is so dead and useless that it has given the Nationalists of Ireland carte blanche to go ahead and separate Ireland from the Empire and to put the Protestants of that popish- cursed island under the heel of the papist tyranny. Could the Redmondites, O'Connorites, Dev- linites and other Nationalists make Asquith give Home Rule to Ireland if the Non-Conformists did not back these Irish Traitors? I say that the Protestant Non-Conformists are the voting and effective traitors, and are more to be blamed than the Nationalists who, under the guidance of their Spiritual leaders and masters, imagine they are serving God. What about the voting Protestantism of Great Britain in the meantime? My answer is that it is dead, and-a useless corpse in connection with this great religious, political, and Empire struggle. Yes, British Protestantism is dead, and must reform, revivify, rejuvenate and re-convert or be destroyed finally. i ' ��������� This statement will reveal fairly clearly my mind on the topic of Protestantism in Britain, and in like manner in Canada, where is is very little better, for it is permitting the Roman Church to destroy the Public School system, and the French to force their language into quarters and official positions.

Every phase of thought, every U*- iosyncracy, every whim of humanity, every freak of intellect has its worthy representative in this ancient city of Salem. To our humble knowledge there are in Jerusalem no less than 31 classes of people, each, of which is imbued with ideas and notions diametrically opposed to the remaining 30. Let us begin with the sectarian divisions among the Jews: > 1. Extreme Orthodox. 2. Moderate Orthodox. ". 3. Reformed Jews. 4. Sephardim. 5. Karaites. 6. Hebrew Christians. Amongst the Mahommedans: 7. Conservative Moslems. 8. Liberal Moslems. Amongst Christians: 9. Greek Orthodox. 10. Greek Catholics.. 11. Latins. 12. Armenians. 13. Copts. 14. Abyssinians. '"'., ' 15. Maronites. 16. High Churhmen. 17. American Free Churchmen. 18. Baptists. 19. Lutherans. 20. Calvinists. 21. Adventists. 22. Sabbatarians. 24, British Israelites. 24. Latter Day Saints. 25. Mormons. 26. Templars. 27. Unitarians. 28. Christian Scientists. ] 29. Rationalists. 30. Atheists. 31. Pantheists. AH these sectarians, with very few excellent exceptions, hold them aloof from each other as if they were created by different deities and fighting for different causes, in different ranks. ' \ It,may perhaps interest our readers to learn a few characteristic facts which we have noticed during" our residence in Jerusalem. Jewish Fanaticism. The staunch Orthodox Jews, i* order to perpetuate their conservatism and. inculcate the same upon the coming generations, strictly interdict their offspring from learning anything but the Talmud and its commentaries. All extraneous books or, literature of any description whatsoever, though written in Hebrew, are carefully withheld from their children lest their tender minds be influenced against the traditional Orthodoxy. The Reformed Jews. The Reformed Jews who are mightily subventioned! and reinforced by their influential confraternity with their1 bigoted and benighted brethren. From every direction, the strongholds and citadels of Orthodoxy are being vigorously bombarded. The kindergartens, jthe schools and gymnasiums, have;.. shaken the' very foundations of rabbinical Judaism. There the Talmud is treated as ;i loreyrid^Or-- lost their compilation of ancient iental fables which have applicability to the present developed state of civilization. -;���������':���������' Hence the unceasing strife and in-, tellectual wrestling betwen great factions in this city of peace. The Christian Sects. It has almost become universally proverbial that the,numerousXhris- tian sects; in Jerusalem can never agree amongst themselves to differ, and very often military intervention is urgently required to maintain ������jrder and decency amongst them. Specially insured against burglary " , and hold-ups. NOTABY PUBLIC Dow, Fraser & Co. 317-321 LIMITED Cambie Street 2313 Main Street Between 7th and 8th Ave*. Who does not know that on every Christmas Eve special detachments of Mahomm^dan soldiers and police are dispatched to Bethlehem to prevent "disturbance amongst the sects whilst worshipping in the Holy church of the Nativity? The Templars. These gentlemen are / endeavoring hard to supplant and undermine Jewish influence in Palestine. They consider the Jews as a people irretriv- ably out of favor with their old God, and that the Templars are the modern1" chosen people by whom the Temple of the Lord shall, be rebuilt, and to whom alone belongs the future greatness and universality. The Lutherans. These evangelical Christians content themselves with the extension of German Imperialism and aggrandisement, and they, whilst beautifully singing in their magnificent Church of the Redeemer (God'1 of Abraham Praise) (Rock of Ages. Cleft for Me), are at the same time pronounced Antisemites. ,,-\ Atheists. ,( In answer to 'a querry: What brought you to Jerusalem? an 'inveterate and aggressive Atheist ���������'replied to the following effect: "I came to Jerusalem because it was from there that the three uppermost religious have' emanated���������religions, which I am thoroughly convinced were invented and concocted by human brains; and it is from Jerusalem that the contradiction and re- futal must be proclaimed to the uttermost part of the earth. I am happy to. state that since my sojourn here I have won over many to my views. Yes, I have gained many adherents even from among the priests of the various convents who help me greatly in my propaganda." Adventists. We also asked a staunch Adven- tist what the object of his coming to Jerusalem was. To this he answered: * _ "I came to witness the downfall of Gog and Magog outside the wall's of ancient Jerusalem, and also behold with my own eyes how the anti- Christ is defeated and chained to the tower of David." We interrogated a representative Mormon as to his presence here:. "L came to Jerusalem, said- the worthy gentleman in reply; I came to expose the errors of pseudo-Mor- monism, which has disgraced Christianity by its licentious, bigamous practices.: I intend to found in this city of the Lord a church of Latter Day Saints/' , We came across an advocate of Sabbatarianism who, in answer to the same querry, said: "My object in coming to Jerusalem was to decry from here the scandalous violation of the real Seventh Day Sabbath, in which day Jehovah rested from all his labors and hallowed it to be observed as. a day of rest from generation to generation and all through the ages, and behold, now Sunday is observed instead of Sat-1 urday!": ."'���������.'"'" :.:;.:., ���������..���������' :-':' '������������������-���������: Baptists.; ';";"; We met a BaptistHwrhVliTsuredTuir most faithfully that his sole object in coming to Jerusalem was to,be baptised in the River Jordan, by immersion, and thus qualify himself for administering the same rite to others. "Oh! ejaculated the worthy gentleman, if the world only knew that unless one is baptised by immersion it is impossible to.be saved." We could cite many more of the characteristic idiosycracies of most of the residents in the Holy City, but enough for today. .���������J'..' PAFFEZ; MAIL TO BAGDAD BY AEROPLANE Aerial Service Across Desert Will Probably Be Established Soon.

It how takes1-twenty days to get the government mails overland, whereas an aeroplane can easily do it in two. He said his next long flight would be from Peking to Paris, perhaps next spring.

During the year 1913 the shipyards of the world turned out 1930 vessels ���������warships and merchant craft of all kin^d���������totalling 4,009,791 tons. Ouf percentages of the world's output in merchant tonnage was 58, whereas in 1912 it was 60 and in 1911 68. Nevertheless our total tonnage for the year is some 200,000 greater than that of the previous' two years. These and other astonishing figures are disclosed in the annual- summary of the world's shipbuilding for 1913 submitted recently by Lloyd's Register of Shipping. The output of mercantile tonnage in the United Kingdom for the year shows an increase of 193,639 on that of the previous year, and is the highest ever reached, exceeding the previous record by more than 100,000 tons. As regards war vessels, the total is nearly 80,000 tons more than in 1912. Practically the whole of the tonnage launched has been built of steel, and more than 99 per cent, of it is steam tonnage. The gross tonnage of English vessels lost and broken up during the last twelve months is stated as being 241,- 000 tons/while the sales to other countries reached the record total of 780,000 tons. As against this, only about 90,000 tons belonging to other countries were purchased by owners here. '. . ..-''>;��������� '..-.'.���������. N Striking Increase. There was a striking increase of very big. vessels built in this country during 1913. In the five years 1908- 12 205 vessels of 6,000 tons and upwards were launched in the United Kingdom, showing the yearly average of 41 vessels, and of the total number. 57 were of 10,000 tons and upwards (yearly average about eleven.) The returns for 1913 show that 84 vessels of '6,000 tons and over 10,000 tons each. The following is a list, beginning with the giant Cunard liner Aquitania of the eleven biggest vessels launched last year: Gross Tons Aquitania 47,000 Alsatian 18,485 Calgarjan 18,485 Andes .' 15,620 Alcantara 15,600 Orduna - 15,600 Ulysses 14,491 Tubantia . 14,055 Gelria 13,868 Alaunia 13.450 Andania :.- 13,405 The average tonnage of steamers launched in the United ���������; Kingdom during the year was 2,995; bui; if steamers of less than 500 tons be excluded the average of the-remaining vessels reaches 4,292 tons, which is a considerable advance on the previous rnean averages of the previous five years.; During 1913 seven steamers were launched with a total tonnage of 88,- 927 which will have turbines only. The launches for the year also includes three vessels of a total tonnage of 8,494 tons with internal combustion engines. In addition, 14 small vessels of under 300 tons, each,;also fited | with motors, were launched: during ''the year.: ��������� ' Where Ships Were^uUt, The Glasgow district occupies the f ifit'plScer rambngrthe ^shipbuilding centers of the country, showing an output of 415,044 tons. Then follow Newcastle (366,331 tons), Sunderland (299,964 tons), Greenock (269,743 tons), Middlesborough (154,743 tons), Hartlepool (153,071 tons), and Belfast (129,081 tons). In warship tonnage Glasgow'also leads with 66,803 tons displacement, closely followed by Newcastle, 65,737 tons, and Barrow 54,400 tons. As regards the movement of the shipbuilding industry during the course of 1913, Lloyd's Register returns show that at the opening of the year, irrespective of warships, 1,970,065 tons were, being built in the United Kingdom.

If they had ever read Edmund Burke they would have learned that when a party starts out to make "Professions of Arthur Jones, the English playright. They left last week for England, where their honeymoon will be spent. "One of tne cnarges against' the Borden administration, a charge not made by. any responsible authority, but only in the wild Liberal news papers, is that it has prevailed upon supernatural virtue in order to cap-Jthe Railway Board to delay its de- tivate those good souls whose credulous morality is so valuable a ^treasure to crafty politicians," it invariably comes to grief. Years ago the Liberals had a monopoly of all the virtues and then proceeded to give us an exhibition of corruption in high places such as the country had never before witnessed. It is obvious too that'when a party flings its professions overboard, its members become demoralized and are apt to fall back on crooked proceedings to fill their pockets. It is astonishing to what extent Liberals have carried the process of jettisoning their old beliefs. In a small way it was illustrated in the House the other, night. When the; Provinces of\ Saskatchewan and Alberta were established, the -Laurier, administration gave them most gen-; erous financial terms to compensate them for the circumstance that the Dominion Government retained possession of their lands because it had to provide the money for colonizing them by bringing in immigrants.. The Liberals of those Provinces; were amply, satisfied, with the conditions then granted. ���������, Mr..,; Walter Scott, the Premier of Saskatchewan, declared over and over again that it was beter for them to have the money than to have to bear the burden of settling the lands or, of dea ling with them as a Provincial asset. Mr. Borden, when in Opposit ion, thought it would be better for the Provinces to .control their own lands,. providedvof course they relinquished' the large grant from the Dominion, treasury which they were receiving in compensation. But how, these Western Liberals are demanding not only that they should have.'....control', of their lands but that they should continue to ^e given the large subsidies granted in lieu thereof, and accuse Mr, Borden of limiting their rights and curtailing their provincial autonomy.--- . i.-t.-. ���������'������������������ The older provinces think with a good deal of justice this-would be unfair to them, that if the Western Provinces are to receive such abundant cash subsidies from the "Federal treasury as: compensation for their lands being held by the Federal Government, they should not have both; they should not get the lands without |; I relinquishing- the quid pro quo which ������'.Rhey are receiving in their place. No one takes stronger grounds bn this question than Mr; George Murray, Premier of Nova' Scotia, a Liberal of Liberals, who .argues in a letter to Mr. Borden that, if this grab is to be. consummated the Maritime Provinces must receive extra financial consideration from the Dominion. Yet here, we see Liberals in the House jibing,at Mr. Borden for not fulfilling his^pledgetb^ivt-the^Pfa^l HUGS) APPLE SHIPMENTS. Nearly Hall a Million Boxes Marketed From British, Columbia Last Season; Striking Figures. Nearly half a million boxes, equal to somethin, like 26,500,000 pounds, of British Columbia apples were marketed last season, according to figures compiled by R. G. L. Clarke, chief inspector in British Columbia for the: Dominion fruit inspection department, and his assistant inspector, A. H. Flack.

Some time ago it was rumored that a block on Broadway had been purr '^chased for Eaton & Co., of Toronto, with the view to open a large Department Store here. Now, the report comes from Victoria that the greatest department store in Canada and one of the largest in the world, is to eiect a huge building in Victoria, exactly opposite the block now in Dairy Branch Within the next few weeks several hundred cheese factories will be opening, hundreds of farmers will be preparing to milk thousands of freshly of' calved cows. Logically this begin- returhs^ning of a new season is the time to commence keeping records of production of the cows separately. Just a knowledge of the total yield of milk from the whole herd may give the owner an idea of the average yield per cow, but that does not give quite enough information. There may be a thousand pounds of milk difference in the total yield of two cows for the season, which would be unnoticeable in the small difference in the appearance of their two milk pails' daily. Often the difference is far more than a thousand pounds* yet all- cows are lumped, together, good, poor and med- iunyall alike, when taking merely an average. Since keeping records of individual production many a dairwman has increased the average of his herd by fifteen hundred, and two thousand pounds of milk or more, because he has,been able to detect the poor, unprofitable cows that masquerade as real dairy cows. On application to the Dairy Division, Ottawa, milk rec- ored"forms and instructions are supplied free. Write today, and begin cision in the Western- rate case This, of course, is absurd. The government might as well be accused of tampering with the Supreme Court. During their long term of office the Liberals obtained some concessions in the matter of rates from the Canadian Pacific Railway at the time they subsidized it to build the Crow's Nest Pass railway. Otherwise, during the existence of the Railway Committee of the Privy Council, which had a tolerably large authority down to 1903, when the present Railway Board was established, the Liberals never lifted a hand for a further reduction. Incidentally, it may be well to note that while the: Conservative Government pf Manitoba, when guaranteeing certain railway bonds, insisted on the right of looking after railway rates, the Liberal Governments of Saskatchewan"- and Alberta have guaranteed enormous sums without asking the favored companies to comply with any regulations whatsoever about rates. Coming back to Federal affairs, the Conservatives when they came into office in-1911 referred the complaints of the: Winnipeg Board of Trade to the late>Mr. Justice Mabee and his colleagues; and, going a step further .got the Board to deal with express rates, which have since been reduced by about 20 per cent. When they sent the question of rail rates to the Board in November, 1911, Mr. Mabee said .that it was the first occasion upon which any complaint had been, made directly.^ Of course, the Board had seen and read a great many newspaper articles on the subject, but it was hot until the Conservative Government forwarded the grievances of the Winnipeg .merchants that any definite step was taken to procure them redress. Under these: circumstances it is a little astonishing to find Liberals blaming the Borden, administration for neglecting 4he interests of *the Western settler. Mr. Mabee's death occassioned a good deal of delay, but, shortly after, the enquiry was started by Mr. Justice Bray ton, the present ablejhead of the Board, and his associates, the Government employing capable lawyers to represent it in the public interest. The delay ���������' since has not been due to any action, direct or indirect, of the Government, but to the exigencies of the case. It is surely unnecessary to say tht the Government would not and could not interfere with the processes of a tribunal of sd much importance.

The decision of the Board wiil probably be given in a few days. Liberal speakers contend that because it has been shown that rates in the West arc higher than those in the East, the case for the West lias been sufficiently proved, and the Board should forthwith proceed to reduce the Western ones. The traveller from the East finds on visiting the West that everything is higher there. His hotel bill is higher, he pays more for a newspaper or for a suit of clothes, and a short time ago he certainly paid a great deal more for a piece of real estate. He is told and believes that the conditions in a new country necessitates these higher prices, but when Jt comes to the sale of railway transportation our brethren of the Western Grain Growers' Association declare that the price should not be higher than in Eastern Canada. Whatever the judgment of the Railway Board may be, everyone will accept it as that of a perfectly impartial and thoroughly well informed court. Meantime only an inveterate partisan will accuse the Government, which has done so much for the interests of the West, of seeking to influence the Board or to delay its bring about a reduction of rates I be reduced below a living basis-their judgment. As a matter of fact, Mr. where a reduction can be honestly i credit in England is bound to be af- Rogers and Dr. Roche have done made.

Some allege that 15,000,000 of these classes would embrace the religion of Jesus if there were preachers and teachers for them. Missionaries report that they are being constantly beset by invitations from all direction to go out into the country villages and baptize the people. The center of this movement is around Delhi, though it is also observed in the Punjab and Baroda. It is freely admitted that it is not religion ajone which constrains these vast .populations toward Christianity, but also the call to the freedom and joy of the life that they see before them in: Jesus Christ. Hinduism, from immemorial ages, has branded these agricultural ��������� ��������� workers and servants as "untouchables" and degraded them well nigh to the level of the beasts. Christianity, in contrast, summons them to be men and offers to acknowledge them as men, and the irresistible call is accentuated by the improved condition already manifest in those communities, that have become Christian.; Better housing, better clothing and better food are already the rewards of the villagers who have come into the freedom ot the Christian life. Intelligent Hindus of the Brahman class are keenly alive to the defeat of their religion which is implied in the loss of these lower classes. They do not pretend today to look upon them with contempt and the term * 'untouchable" has been dropped. Representative Brahmins are every where saying that the lower castes must be retained for Wnduiam iwd in vorder to retain them they must be given such a chance for life as Christianity offers'them. This attitude marks a complete revolution in the Hindu spirit. The British East Jndia Company said at the beginning of the nineteenth century, <fThe sending of Christian missionaries into our Eastern possessions is the maddest, most expensive, most unwarranted project that was ever proposed by a lunatic enthusiast" The English iieutenarit- governor of1 Bengal..said at;theclosei_of_ihA,_niBev teenth century, "In iny judgment Christian missionaries have done more lasting good to the Seople of India than all other agencies com- ined." i;!v:>.:-...' A Rajah of central India said to me: "Come out and stay with us; we haven't a great many- English-speaking men, but we can gather from fifty to one hundred college men in my state, and I will bring them to my palace and keep them; come out and teach us the fundamentals of Christianity." I said to him: "Are you a Christian 1" "No," he said, "I am not a Christian, and I shall never be a Christian; I am a Hindu, but my grandchildren and all our grandchildren here in India will be Christians, and we want them taught now. Tell your people when they send missionaries to India to send their best men, because India will be a Christian country within half a century." That was the testimony of a Rajah.���������G. P. Pentecost. Integrity. A rural legislator in Illinois was approached by one of the lobbyists of the gas companies, who told him that the bill concerned only Chicago, that a vote for the bill would mean nothing to the folks down home, but to him��������� well two thousand dollars would mean a good deal to him! While the lobbyist talked, the roll- call was being delayed for a sign from him, for only one vote or-two was needed to make the bill safe. The. man listened, then when the lobbyist had ended, he turned his dull blue eyes on him and slowly answered: " 'I reckon you're right; I'm. poor, and I've got a big family. And you're right too, when you say my people won't know.nor care; they won't; they don't know nor care a damn; they won't send me back here of course. And God knows what's to come of my wife and my children; I'm going home to them tomorrow and on Monday I'm going to hunt me a job in the harvest-field; I reckon III die in the poorhouse. Ye?. T'm croine home���������but"���������he stopped and looked the lobbyist in the eye���������"I'm going home an honest man." "HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE." {Continued from page 1) Public offices are going to the Roman Catholics far beyond their proportion of the population and beyond their deserts according to personal worth and fitness. And bear in mind that Protestantism in Canada is permiting our cowardly politicians of the Ottawa and Provincial Governments to do these things. Therefore am I seriously wrong in saying, it is dead and useless in a national and political way? And a thing that is no good nationally and politically is very little good in any other way, so far as the public acts and beliefs of humans go. Enough of this topic for the present. I must return to "Honor to Whom Honor Is Due:1' Now, in the last "Call," I was dealing with the Public and Official attitude of the Roman Catholic Church in relation to legislation looking to dealing with divorce matters. I did not say why the Roman Church is acting as it is doing and has consistently done for so long. But I now. deal with this attitude, and the cause in short' terms, easily to be understood. Why does the R. Church oppose legislation dealing with divorces t Simply because that Church claims that the matter of divorce as well as marriage is no concern of the State, or Nation, only so far as the State or Nation is a part of the machinery of the Roman Catholic Church. The Church alone is the competent anthority to deal with marriages or divorces in any and in every case. The State or Nation has no standing'in., these matters any more than in making laws td manage the Eucharistic services of the church. The Church claims it alone is capable of dealing., with the church sacraments; and marriage is one; of these sacraments. ' If the Church desire for any cause to separate husband and wife, then it iscompetent to so separate. But the State goes beyond its sphere in attempting to legislate for the making or unmaking of marriages, according to official Ror manism. ���������'��������� .;.v;.:\<vf.v:.>> Hence the action in relation to such' cases as' come under the "Ne Temere Decree." Husband' and wife, not married by a It. C. Priest, are hot, married at all, as per the official claims of the Church. Hence to separate such families is not an act of divorce, for how could there be divorce if there be no real sacramental marriage f Mothers, wives, husbands, fathers, children may all go to ruin, and to heart-break, if a priest has not married the pair in the first place. ; Now look back. The R. C. Church does stand out against divorces execpt for the ������ause given in Scripture. In this that Church is right. In the United States divorce is as common as soda on the alkali plains. And whyf Simply because it has been brought about by non-Roman Catholics. Hence in the main, Protestants must shoulder the burden, the responsibility and the disgrace of the wholesale divorces procured over that country from ocean to ocean. It is the eternal shame of Protestantism that it is so. It would, be worse were it poti for the R. C. Church. But. in-this very act, deep down in the heart,ana head of official Romanism, if roy analysis as above set put be true, there can be little credit given from the national view point. This is so because the Church claims "no standing in the matter 10 far a* the nation It conoerned.. The opposition to legislative divorce is based on the ground that Divorce and Marriage belong to the Church alone, and the "Church" is Roman Catholic. AH others marrying are aiding in the processes of public: adultery and bastardy. And Protestants stand this charge by their R. C. fel'- low citizens. And why t Simply because they are cringers. './'yy. ::��������� In my next I shall look into the matter of celibacy,monasteries; cloisters, nunneries and the Confessional. From this side we shall have a peep at the results on domestic, clerical, and national purity. perhaps when I am through the "Western-Catholic''' will quote me at length for the benefit of its readers! ,And perhaps not! In th������-meaotime;-I would suggest to -my Protestant friends who have? grown a little hot concerning the contents of my first letter, or article, to be patient fret them go to work and stir up to a Hying and holy zeal the members of their churches arid see if Protestantism can actually do something besides build costly churches and seek butv high priced drawing-card-ministers. Now. for a word concerning active, living'and1 truly militant Protestantism. There is such to be found, for working purposes in relation to the grinding, everlasting' machinations of the" Jesuitic-controlled Papacy and it must be sought, for chiefly in the Orange Association, the Sons of England and other similar institutions. Here is where Protestantism is alive, and inspired with a holy and devoted zeal in the interests of liberty, justice, brotherhood, national loyalty, and all that aid in solid Empire building. Protestantism has no machinery, no hands, no feet, no head, no direction of control, outside of the above mentioned bodies which exist solely to protect the interests of the individual, the home, the nation and the Empire. Hence it fol-" lows that when I strike at Protestantism, I exclude all those who are inspired to put themselves into working association with those who stand daily for something; and have 'adopted the machinery by which they can give effect to their aims. -.

North Battleford Mecca for Settlers. North Battleford, Sask.���������Boa'.-* of Trade reports now at hand and inquiries from settlers expecting to locate in the North Battleford district during the coming season indicate the biggest immigration movement known in the history of the city. The p .Int of special attraction just at the present time appears to be the marked success of the co-operative idea as between the local merchants and the producers, the Retail Merchants' Association being amalgamated with the Farmers'' Association, and th e two holding joint meetings for mutual aid. .As a result the mixed famuiff movement is having no trouble to secure very, liberal financial support, and the live stock industry is developing with great rapidity. Should Encourage B. C. Producers. Elko, B. C���������The fact that instead of decreasing, British Columbia's importations of food stuffs and other farm products show a steady increase from year to year has called the attention once more to the exceptional market now available for local fruit growers and poultry and dairy farmers in this section of the West. It appears that at the present time not less; than $40,000 a day is being sent but of the Province 'for agricultural products alone, whereas all but a very few of these products could be home grown. It is this situation, it is believed,, that is inducing small fruit ranchers, as well as many others of large means to take up the best of tlie improved- farm lands that are being offered on ��������� favorable terms and in desirable locations. Saskatchewan's Youngest City Swift Current, Sask.���������-From acceptances now at hand at board of trade headquarters it appears assured that practically every public body between the great lakes and the Rockies will be represented at .the approaching .celebration in commen- oration of Swift Current's entrance into the status of a city. The special distinction claimed by Swift Current just at this' time is the notable record of building permits for the past year, the actual figures being $1,018,308 in 1913 as/ compared with $791,014 in 1912. Another striking feature of the record is that the buildings for which these permits were taken out in 1913 were practically all completed, whereas at other important centres it appears that in many instances buildings were not even . commenced or construction was suspended owing to the' money stringency. V Attracting Farm Settlers/ , Moose Jaw, Sask.���������Regarding tbe outlook for immigration from the States into Western Canada foT the coming season, the figures indicate that the movement has already made a strong start, with every prospect^ for a high record before fall. The bulk of the travel at present is from Missouri, Ohio, Nebraska and South Dakota, according to immigration officials. From a single county, Moody, South Dakota, it is stated at least 2,000 settlers have already come to Canada. The C. P. R. colonization policy appears to be gaining rapidly in favor as it becomes better known among well-to-do American farmers, and the important extensions of the plans of this railway in 'the way of ready made and irrigated farms are expected to prove a strong drawing card for the present year. City Planning, at Grand Forks. Grand Forks* B. C���������City planning looking to the future of Grand Forks for years to come is to be the keynote of .the citizens' movement, recently organized' here with the slogan of "A better city." Already the city council has gone on record as unqualifidely opposed to any subdivision plans which fail to provide for streets of the full width of 66 feet, this stand being taken for the protection of property .owners whose interests might be threatened by ill considered platting of adjoining lands. Included in the plans of the citizens' movement will be the equipment of a public reading room, game room and gymuasium, the support of the city council having now been pledged to this undertaking. ; Renewed Activity at Kamloops Kamloops, B. C���������With the opening of the North Thompson valley by the early .completion "of the Canadian Northern the advantages arising from the present campaign of the Provincial commissioners of conservation are now gaining wide appreciation. In this valley will soon be in operation the Provincial Illustration farm,.the first of its kind to be opened in British Columbia. So substantial has been the agricultural development of Kamloops within the past season or two that the construction of an eleva. tor is now under consideration to meet the needs of the local situation; and the railway company has also undertaken to furnish additional trackage to cope with the increased volume of shipments which include not only grain, but fruit, live stock, and dairy and poultry products as well. No Fuel Shortage at Tofield. Tofield, Alta.���������Recent gas tests by two Westinghouse machines have furnished striking evidence as to the high quality of Tofield coal for gas producing purposes. That the coal is ftrongly impregnated with gas appears from the fact that it continues burning with a flame until almost completely reduced to ash. Tofield's extensive coal deposits lie almost at the surface of the ground, thus offering a special inducement to the manufacturer seeking a location where low cost fuel is an important consideration. Through figures given out by the local industrial committee it appears that Tofield coal holds first place for low cost of delivery at the mine for manufacturing purposes, whether to be used as taken from the ground or for gas production.

Five, months ago Leonard Dixon, a young rancher living near East sound, Orcas island, found a queer appearing mass in the water near his place. He thought it might be ambergris, so sent a sample to Pullman college for analysis. Et was returned with the report that the professors there did not know what it was. Some weeks later a member of the Arctic club, Seattle, who knew of the find, took a'sample to Germany, and now a. letter has come to Mr. Dixon stating the substance is ambergris and asking for information as to the quantity of the find. , In the meantime Dixon has abandoned the idea that it was ambergris and used a part of the substance as skid grease, finding it excellent for this purpose. The ambergris is said to be valued at from $16 to $20 an ounce. The ambergris was found off what is known as Agate beach, a favorite place for summer visitors on Orcas island, and is supposed to have been washed in from the Gulf of Georgia.

Your muscles are not relaxed. You stand or sit as, if ' turned suddenly to stone. If your arm Is extended, for Instance^Jt remains In that/ position until the effect ceases." She waa very much in earnest, and tried to persuade me that, aided by these pearls, it would be a very easy matter to commit all three of the depredatory acta which had so amazed and shocked us. I am the last man to regard anything as impossible in this day of wonders, yet I was by no means willing to accept such a solution merely on the hearsay evidence of a woman who had spent a decade and a half amongst the Chinese of 'New York City. "Yes, Evelyn," I said, tolerantly, "It is worth considering, and at the first , opportunity I shall look into it. But Just now there must be more Important matters for you and me to discuss. Did Miss Clement, by any .chance, see Yup Sing?" ' At the question the \ girl's _ pale cheeks flushed to her temples and her ���������violet eyes blazed. ��������� "I asked her to aeeT him, and she did," was her anwer. "I thought she might learn from him when'and where you parted, and what led up to the,) plight In which you were found. But he told her that yon had failed to keep an engagement with him. He insinuated that you bad come to Chinatown Intent upon making trouble, and ended by declaring that he had no time to devote to answering the conundrums' of such a harebrained .American: aa you had proved your- eelf. Did you ever Bear of such impertinence? I wanted Miss Clement ;to take me to him that I might tell !hlm what I thought of hia outrageous jbonduct, hut she refused. She says _jhe atands very high amongst his people, and that it la not well to antagonise him." . 1 smiled at her indignation law," I said, "he lan't ao blame. I must have cut a rather undig- twenty-four-hour change of plan. But I" cbafed more even at the Inactivity to which I had agreed concerning Cameron than at the confinement: All at once, I had become imbued with a necessity for prompt and strenuous measures. Seme amfukthing, I knew not what, seemed ominously imminent, and remorse'tore at me torment- ingly. Early Monday, I telephoned Miss Clement for tidings-of her progress, but she could only implore me to wait. She had nothing to report, but she was encouraged. With my hands thus tied diversion was my only refuge, and an accumulation of office work Into which I plunged served, in part at least, this purpose.

In the current number of the Canadian Courier will be found an interesting article by VV. H. Moore, secretary of the C'r N. R., dealing with the financial affairs of that railroad. 1 The following figures, although they , have already been made public, are put in a singularly clear and concise light: Completed mileage 8,694 miles Expended up to date $303,000,000 Total cash subsidies 21,000,000 Receipts from land sales .. 17,000,000 [ Funds obtained without Govt, assistance 134,000,000 Guarantees 131,000,000 D These figures work out at a little | over $35,000 a mile, of which between [$15,000 and $16,000 per mile has been raised directly by the company with- I out the intervention of any Govern- t'jnent. All the guarantees for the [whole system work out at a cost of less than $15,000"per mile, a fact which (|completely disposes of-the contention made by some people that the Dominion and the Provinces have built the Canadian Northern system .and presented it. to Mackenzie & 1 Mann. ��������� a ��������� Charles Edward Russell declares [ that the American railroads have been [looted to' the limit through private [greed, and that it will take nine bullions of- do liars to put them into Ifirst class shape.

The Coronation milled 840 tons of ore during the past summer, and produced 1368 ounces gold, or rather better than $18 per ton. In addition 20 tons of concentrates were saved and ,await shipment.

' Government Takes Preliminary Step in the Direction of Oil Monopoly Berlin, Fe"b. 26.���������A promise to withdraw all the oil lands in German New Guinea from private exploitation pending investigation of their nature and extent was given today by Dr. Wilhelm Solf, Minister for the Colonies, at the instigation.of the Budget Committee.- An appropriation of $125,000 was passed by the committee for the purposes of survey. Dr. Solf said the companies bidding for the concession had all demanded the exclusive rights of exploitation. *The Government was opposed to doing this, as a plan for the operation of the oil fields by the Government -was under- consideration. ment to enter into' the business of producing oil in ��������� order to facilitate the establishment of the proposed oil monopoly in opposition to the Standard Oil Company. The main obstacle to this hitherto has been the difficulty of guaranteeing an adequate supply of oil from important sources. ��������� ��������� ��������� THE COUNTRY OF VINEYARDS FREE GOVERNMENT MAPS France is the greatest wine-producing country in he world, but its vineyards are slowly declining. None the lessywo fewer than a million and a half Frenchmen still are 'proprietors of vineyards, and between them they own well over 4,000,000 acres. Of the eighty-seven departments of France, only nine have no vineyards at all. The chief vine-growing, department is the Herault, where 55,000 proprietors own 450,000 acres; the Bordeaux district has 325,000 acres'' divided betwen .64,000 proprietors! % How great is the production of wine .in France is shown by the statistics for the year 19^1, which were published recently. In this year the total'amount of wine produced in the country was 44,885,000, hectolitres��������� that is to to say, nearly a thousand million gallons.

Friday, March 13, 1914 ', GENERAL NEWS ITEMS { X Islands Under U. S. A. The National Geolographicai Society reports that the United States now has exactly 8,000 islands, supporting a popualtion of 10,000,000, and with a commerce of $300,000,000 annually. American capital invested in them aggregates approximately $400,000,000; they ship to the United States $100,000,000 of products every year and take in exchange products of about equal value. A surprising feature is the development of Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Alaskan islands. When Porto Rico came under American, rule fifteen years ago there was but one school building on the island, while today there are 1,200. There were 25,000 pupils enrolled in the first year of American administration, now there are 175,- 000. Production of sugar has grown from 65,000 tons a ylear to 365,000. Foreign commerce was about $20,000,000 a year; now it is nearly $100,000,000. Then the island bought about $2,500,000 worth of ammunition products\a year; now nearly $40,000,000. Hawaii has been wonderfully prosperous, and Alaska's salmon crop alone is each year worth double the cost of the territory. An inch of rainfall is equivalent to 603 barrels of 45 gallons each, to the acre. This amount of water weighs over one hundred and thirteen tons. Think of hauling it to the farms in wagons holding a ton each. That seemingly light air and clouds are capable of handling this enormous amount of water is one of the marvels of meteorology. One inch of rain is not such a heavy rainfall either. Fifth Ave. Presbyterian Church The Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, of New York City, of which jthe Rev. Dr. John Henry Jowett is minister, in the last fiscal year contributed $584,314 for religious work, exceeding its own record of the previous year by more than' $100,000. Of the $584,314 raised in the twelvemonth, $52,720 was spent for the local expenses of the church which centers in the big Gothic Building at Fifth Avenue and Fifty-fifth Street. The contributions for home missions were $69,914, and for foreign missions $35,625. This church is third in point of membership among Presbyterian churches of America, with its congregation of 2,436. The First Presbyterian Church of Seattle is the largest, with a membership of 5,625, and the Bethany Church, ,pf Philadelphia is second with 3,514. ���������i~M^H~M*,fr,W~W~H~W"H~H~^^*i^ VARIOUS ,jM5~$^.$M$M$������$M&.}^Mf������H,4MHM$MS������HN^^ DUKE OF SUTHERLAND'S ESTATE TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION., "I Won't Works'' of the World Of 500 "unemployed'' men who were sheltered by the city authorities of Portland, Ore., only fifty applied when the city offered them work, and of the fifty only twelve showed up at .the place where the work was to be done. .,-:; Jerusalem to Bethlehem A concession for the construction of a street car line from Jerusalem to Bethlehem and for the lighting of Jerusalem by electricity has been granted by the Turkish Government.

Sacramento, Cal., March 9.���������Jack London, the author, announces this week his candidacy for governor on the Socialist ticket. It is also said by his friends that he. will make a bid for the Prohibition nomination. London has been an avowed Socialist for over ten years, and he has made many addresses in the Socialist cause all over the country. It is a peculiar fact, however, that he lives like an English country gentleman. Many Prohibitionists will not accept London as a candidate, as they say the novelist in "John Barleycorn" admits whiskey still has a strong grip on, him.

The question is such a serious one that it ought to be discussed without reference to party politics. Wherever they have gone the Hindus have caused trouble. Year.s ago they went to the Mauritius, an island belonging to England in the Pacific ocean, and, rightly or wrongly, contrived, to quarrel with the local authorities to such an extent that no fewer than five Royal Commisions had %o be appointed in order to get at the 'truth. In the end it -was deemed advisable to prevent any more of them from going to the Mauritius. t -' ��������� The recent occurrences in South Africa show once more how hard it is to deal with them when once they effect a lodgment in a new country. Without doubt they have grievances there, but their manner of seeking redress is, to say the least, unfortunate. Their main argument is that they are British subjects, but this does not do away with the fact that they are not adapted to live in peace and- harmony with British subjects of the white race. Their threat that if they are not allowed thejr own way they will stir up a mutiny,, in British' India "like that of 1857 is poor policy and has been Inade so often that no attention is now paid to it in South Africa������dr anywhere else.- Their leaders ' must' know quite well "that there is "no place for them in Canada. It is now 400. years since the first cargo of African slaves was landed on one of the West India islands. ' The " Spaniards had tried to enslave the Indians of Hayti, butrthe red men perished in thousands until at length a kind hearted Dominican monk, filled with pity for the dying race, rose up in its defence and proposed substituting negroes, who were physically capable of /enduring the work. In response to his request 50 negroes were sent to Hayti by the King of Spain. A century later African slaves were landed on the mainland of what is now the United States and we know what a fearful problem was created during the long years when slavery was a recognized institution in the South! One, may have the greatest 'respect; for the Hindus, as members of trie' human, family, and yet object strenuously to their coming to British Columbia, even in small bodies, to start a similar problem here. The^present Government has so amended the regulations put jn force by the Laurier administration that henceforth it will be impossible for any considerable number of them to make a home there. We in Canada are masters in our own house, and our first duty is to maintain the high standard of our civilization against Asiatics, whether they hail from India, China or Japan. This is not a policy of selfishness but purely one of self preservation. Meanwhile the Liberals are describing, probably with a good deal of exaggeration, the conditions of white labor in Canada, telling us that there are 100,000 men out of work in the Dominion, and suggesting that if they had remained in power thejr could have prevented such a sate of things by simply reducing the tariff. Yet when they' were in office between by their wild eyed allies in the West, News from the Broken Hill mine is very encouraging. The ore encountered in the tunnels gains in values as the work progresses. Active developments are under - way for this spring. The trail is now being cleared and repaired. A ton of provisions sent in, and work will be resumed at once on a more extensive scale than ever.
