The Western Call is being read with close attention and eager expectation by multitudes who have come to rely upon its courage and exceptional ability to ferret out frauds and prosecute them to a finish. .0. You have the business men of this country behind you, and the unfortunate "Antonio's" are coming to regard you as their "Daniel come to judgment'' in this present distressing financial emergency. Success to the Western Call in its attempt to frustrate Shylock in cutting the''pound of flesh" from the trembling breast of his hapless victim. j READER. HOME RULE FOR IRELAND? [The following address was delivered in Orange Ball on Monday evening, September 22, by Jtev. A. E* Cooke:] Mr. Chairman Etc: I am not a politician. Nor do I appear to-night as a political speaker. Not that I cdnsider the business of the politician so reprehensible that J should refuse to make a political speech if the occasion demanded it. 1 am far from holding the opinion of a certain gentleman of my own profession whose only son was, some years ago, giving signs of a very precocious manhood. The father was much exercised as to what the boy should take up as his life-work a little later. But at last he hit on an original plan to discover for what he was best adapted. One evening he said to his wife, "My dear, I am going to find out what our boy will be in the future. You and 1 will run over next door for a few minutes and leave him behind. When we come back if he is reading the Bible ahd has forgotten the dollar and the apple, then he will follow myself and enter the church. If he is hanging on to the dollar, regardless of the others, we will make a banker out of him. But if he is eating the apple and paying no attention to the Bible or dolalr��������� well! he'll have to be put to farming or fruit growing." So a little later he supplied the five- year-old with Bible, apple and dollar, and he and his wife slipped out to the neighbor's. In a short time they returned to find the boy sitting on the Bible, hugging the dollar and eating the apple. The parson studied the situation for a moment, then turned to his wife and said: "Wife, this boy's a hog, we'll make a politician out of him!" Now I need scarcely say I do not regard all politicians in that light. I realize that they fill a very necesary and worthy place in the economy of our civilization, but I do not aspire to the political platform to-night. Home Hole for Ireland ii aa much a social and religious question at a political, and being an Irishman who ii aa devoted to the cause of his country as the most ardent Nationalist, I would simply seek, in the light of history and the present crisis, to answer fairly and plainly the question, "Should Ireland Have Home Rule!" It seems to me, Mr. Chairman, eminently fitting that in this building and on this night of all others, this should be our subject. Just 118 years ago last night, there had ended one of those fierce and desperate struggles on Irish soil, of which the historian takes but little notice, but which in their effects on the character and destiny of, the Irish people have had tremendous power. "The Battle of the Diamond" was no ordinary faction fight. Thousands seem to have been engaged in mental combat at the little village of the Diamond, six miles from the ancient city of Armagh, and the dead were not only scattered over the scene of the struggle, but found rotting amid the grain of- the neighboring fields when the harvest was afterwards reaped... It was the culmination of a lengthy series of attacks on the peaceful inhabit- -jwits of the Northern counties. It was the desperate but victorious effort of the outraged and exasperated Protestants against a protracted series of crimes and butcheries that stain the page of Ireland with crimson horror. Those were fearful days in Ireland that preceded the rebellion of '98. Sedition was in the air. The fires of discontent and rebellion were smouldering on every hill. Prom over the seas every wind brought sounds of strife and warfare on the plains of Europe. Blood thirsty, brutal, secret societies, such as the Ra- (Contlnued on page 4) Better Packing and Shipping Facilities Needed���������Growers are Handicapped '.,������������������������������������'''. ��������� ��������� j With Religious Prejudice IRISH HOME RULE A FRAUD What is Treason? > ��������� . ...... , ��������� ��������� .���������������������������- ji.,. ��������� , ���������,. , If a man betrays his cbuntry into hands of an enemy he is guilty of treason; if he fights against his country, it is the crime of treason; if he seeks to undermine or injure the stability ofthe government of his country it istreason. If a man has money (the recognized medium of exchange) under his control, if he is licensed by the government to carry on a banking business under certain rules, if he breaks these rules, if he ruins the business and the lives of his fellow citizens by so doing, what is he guilty of? '���������>������������������ Without hesitancy we answer, TBEAsoN���������deep, dark, hideous treasoiL Xetv^ery often such an one is held in high esteem because he "has money." How di<H*e get' it?. How many of his fellow citizens has Ihe ruined? or, perhaps, oiUy partly, ruined, that is only a question of degree. Judas was a gentleman compared to' scores of these human business vultures operating in Vancouver; he sought t# return the price he received for his treason* while the local Judas' hug their "sixty per cent" treasure to their ghoul-like bosoms and pose in a "more righteous than thou" attitude. ACASE TO POINT. Here is an example: An honest old-timer gave a man notes for $75,000.00; he had substantial and ample assets with whiph to redeem the notes; but it was understood that these notes were to be paid out of the proceeds of a large sale. The recipient of tiie notes took them to one of these modern Shylocks, who happens to be a bank official, who discounted them at 50 per cent.!!! That is, he gave, in cash, one-half their value (What about that for a discount?).He had not the decency to advise the citizen who gave the notes, but when they became due, demanded payment, thus making about $37,000.00. How would you classify such a man? Is he a patriot ? Is he a benefactor to Jus country ? Is he loyal to the spirit of the banking act? Has he played the part of a good citizen and an honest business man? We know he is none of these. He is the tyjie^hich would have "sold his Master for thirty pieces of silver.*' ^4* Men of that kinU must be bra^^ ped. No community or country can long survive such operations as that. We, as Canadian citizens, should demand a limit of twelve per cent on all money loans or equivalent advances. Okanagan Fruit Growing; Some grim rumors have been current recently about the "Fruit Industry" of the Okanagan. It was reported that there was such an over-production that the growers were allowing the fruit to rot on the trees, and that tons of peaches and other fruits were going to waste. This statement has a modicum of truth in it, but is entirely misleading. The impression conveyed is that fruit growing is a failure. That is not so. Fruit growing in the Okanagan is now an assured and permanent industry. It is just developing from the experimental to the commercial stage, and that period of transition is always a very anxious one. Are there tons of peaches rotting on the gr6und? Yes, of certain varieties. Why? Not because they are of a poor quality, not because there is no market for them, but because the system used to bring the grower and the consumer together is a faulty one; and, further, because some of the varieties grown are not good canning fruit or good shippers, that is, for shipping under existing conditions. There is a peach called the "Triumph" which is an early fruit, but is a "clingstone," therefore the canning factory refuse them. It ripens early and is of most excellent flavor. There is no reason in the world why it should not be shipped to the coast and sold for table use or for preserving. In Ontario the housewife prefers the cling-stone for preserving; it is a matter of custom. This Triumph peach is the variety "rotting" on the ground, not because it is not good, but, first, because the cannery refuses it, and, secondly, because it was left too long and became too ripe to ship with existing facilities. Kelowna ships an average of eight carloads of peaches a day. There are upwards of sixteen carloads despatched daily from Vernon. Yet this could have been doubled this season had there been a better system of handling and marketing. All the fruit that has been shipped was sold beforehand and none on consignment. There are several fruitgrowers' "Unions" which are doing good work, but these are not comprehensive enough in their methods. They should be so broad in their organization as to include the smallest to the largest grower, and with perfect equality in treatment. They should have selling agents throughout the Northwest and in the Coast cities and place their fruit either direct to the consumer, or to the retailer, cutting out, as far as possible, the costly commission house. Then they must have better shipping facilities. There is'enough fruit grown in the Okanagan to warrant the C. P. R. putting on a refrigerator fruit train daily, direct to a suitable distributing point. This train must be a through fast freight. The express charge from Penticton to Calgary is now fifty cents per box, and the freight charge seventeen cents per box. The slow freight carriage is useless, consequently the fruit is usually shipped by express. This is profitable to the railways but is suicidal to the industry and ruinous to the consumer. The railivays must supply the facilities and it is up to the growers to make their appeal to the Railway Commission, which should receive the unstinted support of the whole community. Then there must be larger and better packing facilities and more extensive canning establishments, which should be supplemented by a large jam f actory, to take care of the fruit too ripe to ship; an evaporating plant should also be tried with such facilities as these the crop could be handled with comparative ease. There is a shortage of "packers" just now, but this will remedy itself, very largely as soon as it becomes known that there is certain and steady emphmnent in this line during fruit season, and when the grower realizes that fruit growing is a business like farming, at which his whole family may work, and not a "gentleman's job." As To Quality. Some clitics will say that the Okanagan peaches are not equal in flavor to California or Niagara peaches. This is wholly wrong���������Okanagan peaches are equal to (Continued on Page 4) Let us suppose a case, one well in hand by the Canadian reading public. Suppose Bourassa started out on a campaign to teach the Canadian electorate how to give Quebec Home Rule. How would he begin, and how would he continue, and how would Canadians treat his teaching T Here are three plain questions, and all easily understood. Bourassa has delivered himself as to how he would handle not only Quebec, but just what he would do with Canada. He tells the world that he would separate Canada from the Empire and have Canadians go their journey alone. Tfcis means that he teaches not only separation of Canada from the rest of "Pax Britannica," but he would break the Empire just by that much;,1 mean by the measurement of the power, influence,' wealth and area of Canada. Do Canadians foiv a moment disbelieve Bourassa when he so teaches f If so, they arc ordinary fools and dolts. Now if Bourassa undertook to ask Home Rule for Quebec, would.he mean that he aimed at keeping Quebec in the Dominion under the British-flag and as a part of the EMPIB8T Certainly not. Hia one aim would be juat that which it is at present, viz., to separate from the Union Jack and aU things British, whieh he and his coadjutor^hate most perfectly. This is just what the Irish Home Rulers have undertaken. They aim at only one thing in the main. It is this: the Separation of Ireland from Britain. They publicly teach thie> and;'have ao taught for flfty yeaj-s. I do not know that the Irish Home Rule Bill has appeared in the Canadian press in full. It h& not so appeared in the Vancouver papers, and the public have no press information as to the intent of that Pill. A friend of iriine sent for it and gave it to me for perusal. It is a longt and complicated document. However, that which is clearly made out of a careful reading is this: It prepares for a final separation of Ireland from Britain, and Asquith, Lloyd-George and their Irish masters know this to be a fact. Here, then, is where I am forced to come, after reading carefully that document. Asquith and bis clear-headed British co-workers are political traitors, and know it, or they WUJ not nnish the task they aro pretending to complete for the Irish Empire wreckers. It is deep down in my heart that Asquith found he was in the meshes of Irish intrigue, an intrigue originated in Rome by the Pope and Cardinals, and furthered by every British hater in and out of the Empire: He so found himself, and decided to meet these scoundrels by an intrigue of a deeper and more crafty character. They undertook to handle and foree his hands. He apparently complied, and thus fpr years has secured their strong support. He thus has remained in power, and it) the end he will throw down the tools he used, which tools imagined they were using Asquith and Company. If I am right in this, then there is a ray of hope. A fierce revolution will be avoided, and the world will laugh at the foreign-led Irish traitors and tools. If, however, I err in the above forecast, then I am forced to conclude that Asquith and Company know that they are doing the work of foreigners, a work aimed directly against the strength of the Empire, and if so, then he is a traitor of a political stripe worthy of the displeasure and condemnation of all right thinking men and nations. Home Rule, as Canada has it, would be all right. By this I mean the Home Rule which each Province within the Dominion possesses. This is in the line of wisdom, but to give Ireland a practical separation from Great Britain, and at the same time to allow them the privilege to have FORTY MEMBERS IN THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT is a most monstrous proposition, and is a pact of the aet of treachery being perpetrated by the Asquith government, if he be truly so intending to legislate. The loyal Irish will not be forced out of the Empire. Bloodshed will come first, and the British soldiery will give the Irish traitors an awful lesson at the time it is most needed. Our Empire will not now be broken by foreigners within or without, and it never will be broken by any earthly, heavenly or hellish power, for it is .destined to last forever. The Almighty has so given Hife word in the Old Bible, and He who has promised will perform His word to the letter. -Prof. Odium M.A.. B.Sc.

Hear 'sir,���������in view of the noted scienltst and physcologist. Sir Olive Lodge (and men of his mental calibre) giving his views, etc., on Immortality recently to tbe public, I deem it wise to say a few words, as the subject is a very important one to all men. First and chiefly, I desire to point out the chief reason noted scientific men have such bazy and indistinct views on this important subject, is because tbeytdo not accept tbe only true and definite source ot information, vis.: The Sacred Scriptures or Word of God. Apart from a sincere, reverent acknowledgement of the Divinity of the Word of Ood, received Into our heads and minds as the sole source of light and knowledge on tbls, and all things we are immersed in the deepest darkneBs, and can see no way out of It. "The entrance of thy words giveth light" we are told and this is true of individuals and society collectively. Moreover God is the life of His word and thought and by means of it is the light of the world mentally and spiritually, even as our natural sun shineB In the heavens and imparts light and warmth to all material objects. Now He, as Jesus Christ, clearly tells us today (as of old) "Because I live, ye shall live that of themselves, they have NO life, j being only vessels to receive the continual inflow every moment (and fraction of a moment) of divine life from God, Himself. Whether they receive and use this divine life for good, or evil, rests witb themselves. In the case of tbe evil they constantly pervert, and try to suffocate this life in them by living in wicked practices. Fourthly. I desire to say (ln my own experience) by the study of the divine word, a perception has been granted me to see from it, that whatever work God does, He is always doing, and that whatever He creates as coming .from HIM primarily MUST for tbat reason be ETERNALLY created. It may not always exist in one outward form, as He first formed it, but it will continue to exist in some form. Fifthly. The divine written word of God is the ONLY meaqp of our being conjoined to Him here, to serve Him in Eternity. It Is given for the purpose tbat we may hear lt speak to us Inwardly, and amend our lives by trying to practice In daily life its heavenly instruction. It is the ladder, Jacob saw ln his dream reaching from earth to heaven on which the angels were continually descending and ascending. 8ixthly. Tbe divine word of God abounds with passages to show tbat tbis life here on earth is NOT all, as we are here only a few years at best, and we depart hence to a "better country." If In this life I bave hope only I am of all men most miserable.

Francis Bursill. of Collingwood East, is having the experience of meeting in Vancouver friends from the old country whom he has not seen for a number of years. On Saturday he received a visit from Mr. William Trant, now the police magistrate of Regina. Forty-two years ago Mr. Trant was on the staff of a London paper but he left it for a more advantageous life and his successor on the paper was Mr. Bursill who remained there for 20 years. It was singular that these two old Fleet Street journalists, after very checquer- ed careers, should thus meet in this distant outpost of the Dominion. Since then Mr. Trant met with a very serious adventure. He was in Paris at the time of the Commune and h-'s dispatches to the London newspapers led to his being condemned to be sho1: and he had a very narrow escap?. Another old friend, Rev. Copeland Bowie, with whom Mr. Bursill was connected in Southwalk, *r London, England, preached at the Unitarian church on Tenth Avenue on Sunday evening. Mr. Brusill remembers with pleasure, that on the last occasion on which he saw Mr. Bowie they read together the trial scene from The Merchant of Venice.

H. Lewis were present. The present management of the municipality were severely criticised. Among other things it was said that to one bank alone the municipality were paying $8,000.00 per month in interest and that at the same time they were so financially tied up that without the consent of this bank they could not offer bonds through any other channel. Mr. Gold said he thought this could not be binding because it was against public interest, but at the same time it would be better to abide by the agreement than to stand the result of having it set aside. With regard to the water supply it was contended that the management by which Ex-Reeve Pound had wasted thousands of dollars over wooden pipes, which were no good, was almost eclipsed by the folly of the present council who were boring holes in various parts of the municipality and assuming that they had wells when they had only sunken pits for collecting surface water. In fact the whole record of the council was a record of a series of blunders leading to financial disaster. School Trustee Morris thought that there was a little good in crying over the history of the past. The municipality was in a mess. He thought that for two years at least they could have no improvement hut what could be paid for with revenue. To continue to borrow money at such exhorbitant interest as was now being paid would be the height of folly, but he believes that if the municipality exercised self denial and went on the road to retrenchment, public confidence would be restored and South Vancouver would be able to borrow oi! reasonable terms. Although no formal, resolution was put before th'e chair the feeling of the meeting was evidently hostile to the council's idea of buying sites for in dustrial purposes or for launching into the scheme of an expensive municipal electric plant.

(Continued from page 1) bed at dark if he would see the morning light. Many woke to find their home in flames and their families butchered beside them. Others were dragged forth to be mutilated with the utmost savagery to see their helpless wives and children almost doubled itself. Since those fingers and limbs hacked off, left bleeding to death on the cabin floor. Law had become a mockery where it had not entirely disappeared, and crime raged rampant everywhere. The Association of United Irishmen was formed in May 1795. The Defenders, one of the worst secret societies of Roman Catholics, soon joined it, and at once intolerant pressure was brought to bear on the Protestants yet loyal to Britain and anxious to abide by the laws. One shudders at the fearful tale of bloodshed and brutality, and wonders how they stood it so long, but finally the crisis came on Sept 20th at the Diamond. On that morning a great throng of Romanists had gathered from near and far. From the bills of' Armagh, from far Pomeroy, from the farms of Tyrone and the cabins of Connaught they gathered' until an immense throng surrounded the little village. What for? It was believed they had come to destroy every Protestant house in the district. They began to pull down the home . of Daniel Winter, when the Protestants rushed together to defend their property. Thirty-fix of them were well- drilled Volunteers and the remainder, six or seven hundred, were armed with guns, pistols and any other weapon they could get hold of. A fierce battle ensued, and against overwhelming numbers the Protestants were at last victorious. A truce was arranged, and in good faith the Protestants went home, to find that their enemy had next morning returned to wipe out the village. Then followed the real struggle, when men fought ��������� veritable battle in defense of their homes and their families and at length the Protestants remained in possession of the field. But they had learned a lesson they could not forget In the words of their great countryman, Edmund Burke, they had learned that "when bad men combine the good must associate, else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle." They were driven by sheer and brutal necessity to band together in defence of their altars and homes, and in the house of James Sloan of Loughgall, weapon in one hand, Bible in the other, these simple men laid th*; foundations of that Institution which for over a century has stood like a rock in defense of liberty and faith, and saved Ireland from political, social and religious disaster. They thought to call it the "Diamond Association," but as they wisely rooted its Constitution upon the Word of God, and so made it valid for ages to come, so they decided not to localize it by such a name or seek to commemorate any private feud or sectional hatred. William of Orange had delivered England from the curse of the Papacy; he had secured the liberties of Protestant Ireland when he personally drove James from the Boyne and all hope of the throne, so they named their society the "Loyal Orange Association," the main purpose and principle of which was "to protect all loyal subjects of every religious persuasion from violence and oppression" and which was destined to take no ignoble part in the progress and prosperity of their country. Gentlemen, I cannot spend more time in tracing the history of an Institution which now girdles the globe and has built this building in which we gather to-night, but I will simply say this: In the blackest hour of Ireland's need Orangeism came forth providently to gather together the scattered fragments of Protestant and crime. When the storm cloud burst in 1798, and the fires of rebellion blazed upon every hill, ' when Southern Ireland was slaughtering helpless Protestants, burning men, women and children wholesale, and enacting horrors unspeakable, the Orangemen preserved the loyalty of the North. They earned the highest praise of Genera! Knox under whom they fought for altars and homes. When Emmet's rebellion broke but in 1803 the Parliament declared the Orangemen the Saviours of their country, and when O'Connell had roused the nation by his demand for Repeal of the Union and sent Lawless with 144,000 men to pillage Ulster, 5,000 of them met him at Ballybay and quietly but resolutely turned them back. They made repeal an impossibility. Several times Parliamentary committees have investigated the institution from top to bottom, because of the slanders of its enemies, yet have been forced to admit they could not find a flaw in its entire constitution and character, I know that scarcely a year has passed in its history which has not provided detractors and slanderers of the Order, and even to-day the cheap taunts . of "Orange bigotry" and "Orange intolerance" are common on the lips "of those who make no effort to understand either principle or purpose of the Association. Mr. Chairman, I have said I am no politician. I give no blind allegance to any party. I hold myself free to think and act as I please on all social and National questions, and I find nothing whatever from top to bottom of Oraggeism to prevent me as a broadminded Protestant from doing so. Having gone to the very top of the organization I am free to say that in my opinion, none but a genuine Christian gentleman can live up to the principles and carry out the purpose of the Orange Institution. Now, sir, it may be thought that all this is an unnecessary degression from our real subject, but not so. In pointing out the terrible condition ct Irish Society over a century since, which drove the Ulstermen to found such an Association in defense of life, liberty and faith, I have gone far to upset one great argument of those who, appeal for an Irish Parliament in Dublin. That fearful epoch of blood and murder, that ghastly series of crimes that stained the record of Ireland with horror unspeakable, lit the fires of hatred and ruin from North to South, and led to the butcheries of 1798���������all these were permitted and perpetrated under the very last Parliament that sat on Stephen's Green in the City of Dublin. It was while the oratory of Grattan and Curran and Flood was sounding through the Parliament House in Dublin, that crime and insurrection were rampant all over the land and plunderings and corruption in office���������in fact every sign of an incompetent government became so overwhelming as to shatter all confidence. It suits Mr. Redmond and his followers to talk a lot of nonsense about the prosperity or Ireland under Grattan's Parlment. But the fact is that the National debt was increased 10 times during the last rune years of its existence and a Govt Commission reported! at the time of the Union, that over two millions of people were dependent on only 20 weeks work for sustenance. The country was a vast pauper warren. The overwhelming majority of the Irish people were in favor of the Union and the Roman Catholics, whose views were voiced by their Bishops gave it an almost undivided loyalty and keep them true to their support. Their clergy took an active King and their God, while the dazzl ing dreams of republicanism and French infidelity permeated the land part in its favor. As soon as the Union was established, Ireland's credit rose, industries sprang up and days the only movements which have seriously disturbed the peace, of Ireland and interfered with her prosperity have been the conspiracies and political intigues of the Nationalist agitators, such as Emmet's rebellion of 1803, Parnell's Land League and its criminal successors, the National and United Irish Leagues.' When Gladstone said of the Land League that "crime dogged the footsteps of the League," he was also describinp the career of it's successors for many years. And the day is not yet past when their leaders would "march through rapine and crime to the desintegration and dismemberment of the Empire." But let us at once get to the heart of the subject What do we mean by Home Rule? What is the object :it which the Nationalist party has been aiming in their long and persistent agitation? John Redmond professes loudly that all they want is "The con' tinuoua government of Ireland according to Irish disss, carried out by Irish ministers responsible to the Irish people"���������in other words of his. "the government of Irish affairs by an Irish Parliament at Dublin and ac cording to Irish ideas." "Quite simple and perfectly just and right,'' manv will say. But I hope to show before I sit down that the real demand of the Nationalist leader is neither so simple nor ��������� perfectly just as one might fancy from the definition he pleases to give us today. Gentlemen, the Protestant people of Ireland are not furious, partisan bigots���������blind to all principles of reason and justice���������the Orangemen are but a small proportion of them���������they amount to a million and a quarter of intelligent and progressive people; they are to be j found in every county in Ireland: [they represent all the Protestant churches���������all classes���������all shades of political opinion, and the real business brains and ability of Ireland today. Yet they are almost entirely united in a solid and determined opposition to Home Rule in any shape or form, while thousands of their Roman Catholic countrymen agree with them, if they dared speak out on the question. Now, why is ..this? Surely they have some light on the subject���������the whole brilliance of truth is not oft the other side only, as one might imagine in reading the partisan press and some of the literature flooding the Empire or listening to the fervid appeals of the Home Rule orators. Indeed, for my part, I never read any of their speeches, but I think of the Old Darkey who, on a long journey, in a strange district, encountered a heavy thunder storm and became hopelesly lost as night came on. Again and again he tried to find his way, but at last he gave up in despair and, climbing down from his mule, he fell on his knees, lifted his hands toward Heaven and cried: "O, Lord, if its all de same to you, I'd like to have a little less noise and a litle more light!" So it seems to me that when the oratorical fireworks break forth on the Nationalist platform, and the woes of Ireland and tyranny of England are trumpeted abroad for political purposes, it would be very much beter if we had a little less noise and a little more light on the real situation in Ireland today. Now, Sir, I shall endeavor, without passion or prejudice, to place before you as briefly as possible a few of the strongest reasons why the Protestant people of Ireland are so strongly opposed to Home Rule. In the first place they maintain that Ireland does not need Home Rule, and that the best interests of be served hy the preservation of the Union as at present. It is an outstanding fact of history that England wronged Ireland ser-j iously in the past, and the Penal Laws] of the 18th Century helped to beggar] her people and shatter her industrials life; but we must not forget that! these laws bore as hardly upon Pres-1 byterians and all non-conformists as on Roman Catholics; yet Presbyterians and other Protestants are today the very head and front of the opposition to Home Rule. And ever since the Union and Catholic emancipation in 1829, the policy of England has been to uplift and prosper the ccause of Ireland and her people. Especially during the last twenty years has the British ��������� Parliament carried out legislation resulting in immense increase to the prosperity and well being of every section of Irish life. The old and vexing problem of the Irish Land has been definitely setled by successive remedial laws until today, one-half of the tenant-farmers of Ireland own their land in fee simple, owing to the provisions of the Wyndham Act. passed by the Unionist Government in 1903. By this act of the British Parliament, the Government pledged its credit to the amount of five hundred to one thousand millions of dollars and gave a bonus of sixty millions to enable the farmers to buy out their farms. , So, too, the Congested Districts Board, with an annual grant of two and a half millions a year, for the purchase and re-settlement of land and thorough equipment of it with buildings, fences and drains; the Light Railways System, opening up large areas of remote agricultural country, with a clear grant of ten millions the Technical Instruction Department, with a grant of nearly a million a year���������these and other great and generous reforms by the Imperial Government, during the last few; years, have transformed the whole situa- No Delivery Phone.

Those are the actual words of the Irish Nationalist leader who, on other occasions can hurl all the fire and force of his condemnation' against England for her dastardly conduct towards Ireland and her ruin of Ireland's prosperity and people. I quote them at some length because they truly describe what the Imperial Government has been doing for Ireland, and give us one of the reasons why Protestants deny that Home Rule in any form is necessary for the, well- being of Ireland. In the emphatic words of the London "Spectator" the Parliament of the United Kingdom has shown that it can do absolute justice to Ireland. The credit of the whole of the United Kingdom has been freely used to help the farmers of Ireland. Such help has been ex- tion and prove absolutely that Eng- j tended to ho other part of the United land is not only willing but absolutely j Kingdom". But you may ask, "Why competent to pass whatever measures I should not the Irish people have full are necessary for the material pros-j control of their local affairs just as perity of Ireland. So extensive has England has? An English Parlia- been the improvement and progress' ment cannot understand or do justice and threatened to make it a mass of in less than 40 years the population every section of her people can only during the last ten years that Capt. Condon, the renowned Fenian of the past generation, when he re-visited Ireland in 1909, spoke at Kilkinny in glowing terms of "the farmers lifted from the condition of slaves and serfs to be the owners of the property," the laborers put in possession of neat and comfortable cottages which they had never enjoyed before," "the vast improvements that had been effected all over the country," "even the in* crease of population unknown for fifty years before, and thousands of evicted tenants restored to their homes." So Dr. Timmins, the American Home Ruler, the following year, stated in Cork, "I feel safe in declaring that, considering the depths from which Ireland has arisen since the Land League was established, no other country on earth has equalled her in the betterment of conditions. I have been in every province in Ireland, and I have talked with no one on the subject who was not free to admit that there was no comparison betwen the present state of the country and that of thirty years ago." But John Redmond, himself, at Detroit, in! October, 1910, gloried in the tremen-j dous improvements of the previous j ten; years. "Over one-half of Ireland j the tillers of the soil, are absolute'. owners. A few short years and the [ land question will have absolutely * passed away. And with the passing of that system will have passed the chief cause which kept the Irish people, not only poverty-stricken, but enslaved. . Within the last six years we have obtained thirty million dollars from the British Exchequer to erect decent sanitary habitations for the laborers of Ireland. Three thousand evicted families have, within the last few years, been not merely restored to their homes, but their leases have been rcssuitcceni m their houses have been rebuilt for them by money obtained, not as a loan, but as a free grant from the British Exchequer. Their farms have been restored, they have been given new farm implements, and they have gone back to the land from which they were evicted twenty years ago���������-not as tenants���������but as absolute owners of the soil. . . Today the school- houses are decent, sanitary buildings, heated and cleaned by money which we obtained for that purpose from the British Exchequer. The teachers have ! had their positions enormously improved. The secondary schools" (or high schools) are today well supported. Large monetary assistance is being given to them. And greatest blessing, perhaps, of all, for the first time for centuries, tbe blessings of facilities for higher education have been extended to the masses of the Irish people. . . There was created in Ireland for the benefit of the great to the details of Irish affairs, as a local Parliament could." Such a ques: tion would, of course, delight the heart of an Irish Nationalist, as it is on the assumption that Irishmen have no control of their own affairs he bases his attack on the Union; But let me emphatically assure you that Irishmen have today exactly the same control of their local affairs that either the Englishman or Scotch- manhas, and they have it as the free gift of the Unionist Government they have eternally denounced- In 1897 T the Local Government Act for Ireland, by which the County and District Councils of Ireland control the levying and spending of the rates of the county absolutely, and all local business is completely in their hands, while this is so as regards Irish affairs, the additional fact must be noted, that Ireland has a representation in Imperial Parliament, far, beyond what her population entitles her to, and in virtue of this over-representation the Irish Nationalists are able to dictate the policy of the British Government and to throw out of gear the finances of the nation and empire. So the actual fact is that instead of Ireland being the injured party in the affairs of the United Kingdom, it is Englishmen and Scotchmen who have the right to complain of lack of control in their own business details. But there may yet remain' in some minds the old erroneous impression that the Protestants of Ireland bold the ascendancy in political and religious affairs over the Catholic people. We so often hear the old false cry of "Orange bigotry," and "religious intolerance on the part of Ulster," that many seem to imagine the Protestants object to Home Rule because they will be deprived of power and privilege. But there is not and has not been for many a year any ascendancy of any kind on the part of the Protestants save that of business brains and ability and enterprise. In fact the ascendancy is really o-a the other side.

Notices of births, deattaa aad mar ���������iages Inserted free of ebarg*. and out of the 719 Councillors in the three Provinces of Leinster, Muns- ter and Connaught, only 16 Protestants are to be found. The first law offices* of the Crown in Ireland from the Lord Chancellor and Lord Chief Justice down, are, five of them Roman Catholics and only one, the Master of the Rolls, third in rank, is a Protestant. We hear all oyer, the Empire much about the intolerance of Belfast toward Catholics, and even Mr. Birerll, not long since publicly accused the Belfast Corporation of Only employing a single Roman Catholic. But what are the facts?.. The Catholics of Belfast are about one-fourth of the population and this fourth pay about one-twentieth of the rates of the city��������� Yet the corporation is scrupulously careful to give Roman Catholic workmen a good share of employment. In fact 900 Catholics are employed by the Council or nearly one-third of the total, and these 900 receive in wages 48,000 pounds a year or just three times as much as all the Catholics of Belfast pay in taxes. If that is intolerance or ascendancy then I want to know what you call the proceedings in Cork City and County? In Cork County there are ninety-four officials, and only nine Protestants, who were appointed by the old grand jury system, before the Local Government Act of 1898. In Cork. City, where. Protestants pay at least half the rates, only two officials out of thirty-three are Protestants. Both were appointed before 1898. Since then not one Protestant has ever been appointed by the Coun- ; ciL- In Belfast, when the Local.Government Act came into force ,tb.e m Corpo-ration specially,v altered the boundaries of two warcls to give the Catholics special control of them. Since then two' Catholic aldermen and six councillors have remained in the corporation, and four years ago a Catholic alderman was chosen High Sheriff of the city with the universal assent of the Protestants. Compare this with Dublin, where, though the / Protestants pay more than one-half the rates���������rates that are double what they are in Belfast���������no Unionist has a chance of employment by the city These are but a very few instances of a multitude of similar facts that prove conclusively there is absolutely no such thing as a Protestant ascendancy anywhere in Ireland today, and that the Ulstermen seek no such thing for themselves but simply desire equal rights and opportunities for all; their Roman Catholic countrymen as well as themselves. 2. Again, Protestant Ireland opposes Home Rule because of the incalculable injury it will certainly do to the business interests, the trade and prosperity of the country.:. It is not my intention to go into any detail upon this point, as it would require much more time than I have left, and I have already dealt with it on a previous occasion. But "there never has been a time when Home Rule seemed imminent that the leading business men and business interests of Ireland have not emphatically protested against it. They did it with Gladstone in 1886 and '93, and they did it lately when one thousand merchants and manufacturers presented Sir Edward Carson with an address at Craigavon, pleading their support against "a burden which would cripple, retard and eventually destroy that prosperity of which we are justly proud." Here is a personal letter I received from one of the leading business men of Belfast���������a former Lord Mayor��������� Sir James Henderson... I shall read just a few sentences upon this point. "I object to Home Rule, first of all as an Irishman, because I believe it would prove disasrous to the best interests of ������iy native country���������not only to the interests of Ulster and of the Loyalists, who have done so much to build up the prosperity of that province, but also to the interests of the other parts of Ireland, and of the Nationalists themselves. The very shadow of Home Rule is sufficient to interfere with the trade of the country, and its realization would disorganize business entirely, because it would destroy that confidence without which commerce and industry cannot flourish. Those who have capital to invest could not be expected to have much faith in the men who under the new conditions, would control the destinies of Ireland, and the state of turmoil and unrest into which the country would be plunged would not be conducive to the extension of her trade or the development of her resources. Home Rule would also increase the religious dissensions from which Ireland has suffered too much in the past, and instead of promoting amity and concord, would intensify the bitterness between the -different sections of the community." But you may ask: "Is that not a prejudiced opinion, the fear of a cap- talist who dreads losing the control he hss.over industry for his own profit?" Well, take another class, and go to the South this time. Listen to these words from the farmers of Wexford, where both Redmonds have made their fiercest speeches, Listen! Here is one letter which appeared not long ago in the Dublin paper "The Irish Times," addressed to the Editor: Sir,���������About a week,ago I addressed a letter to one of our Dublin Nationalist papers on the, to me, all important, question of the position of the farmers of Ireland under a Home Rule Government, but publication was refused. All I wanted to know was this: In the event of the Home Rule bill becoming law . . would the position of farmers who have purchased their holdings under the Land Purchase Acts be any better or any worse? ... Can our representatives give us any guarantee that we, the farmers of Ireland, "the backbone of the country," as we are so often called, will be gainers or losers, will be required to pay as much in the shape of poor rates and other charges as we pay now, or more, or less? ���������*. . . May we hope that the prices of the cattle, sheep, butter, pigs, etc., will i not at least be any lower than at present. A very intelligent neighbor of mine, and no pessimist either, tells me that instead of the fine times we have been promised under Home Rule, he greatly fears we will all be called upon to dip deeper into our purse, as he expects no lightening of the taxation burden, but the reverse. If our M. P.'s, who ought to know, think so, let them speak out. We have been paying them long enough and generally enough, and the least we expect is guidance fron-_ those who ought to know. uWe are asked to buy a pig in a poke." Other farmers at once took up the same position, and one wrote, saying: "In my district the general opinion of the farmers is that Home Rule will not be the great blessing we thought it would. That is the feeling of life-long Nationalists. Some time ago I asked the member for our division these questions, ahd the answer I got was: Don't be silly, Paddy, don't be silly. Wait and see," and I know hundreds of farmers who are anxious to know, but ashamed to ask, fearing they would be thought silly or ignorant. N Next day this letter appeared inthe same paper from another farmer of County Kildare: / "From Irish Times, 21st April, 1911: "A CHALLENGE. "Sir,���������Though I am afraid it will be a case of Hobson's' choice when Home Rule comes, for there will be nothing but the land to tax, I too, as a farmer and an interested party, would very much like an authoritative pronouncement on the subject, and, to encourage the gentlemen to make one, I am willing to lodge 100 pounds in your hands to be paid over to any official member of the Nationalist Parliamentary Party who can satisfy a public meeting of .representative Irish farmers, to be held in Dublin, that they will benefit by Home Rule. Yours, UBIQUE. County Kildare, April 20th, 1911. A few days later- the first writer asked: "If the Irish M. P.'s think that Home Rule will be the blessing they say it will, why do they not come forward, prove it, and claim that 100 pounds? If that challenge remains unanswered the result should be published far and near. Any ordinary spectator of the political game may note the caution with which the paid agitators regard practical suggestions now-a-days. I fear the farmers of Ireland will wake up some fine morning to find to their sorrow that the promised paradise of Ireland free was but the baseless fabric of a dream. Ireland was never in a better way to become a happy, prosperous, contented nation... Would it not be a terrible pity, then, to disturb the progress and peace of the nation at large?" Gentlemen, I shall not dwell further upon thispoint, but I submit that no greater injustice could be done to Ireland than that at a time when her prosperity is increasing by leaps and bounds, she should be deprived of the moral ana material credit which she derives from absolute unity with the richest country in the world, and to throw- the reins of her future to the guidance of men who. however well intentioned, have never been trained to the administration of public affairs- Were Great Britain to sanction a step so insane, bankruptcy would certainly ensue, and there would be an extensive exodus of those who have done most to build up the commercial strength of the country. You may say I am a false prophet carried away by sheer prejudice, but if so, then the best business brains in Ireland today unanimously assert the same. 3. And now, sir, I come to the question of the ultimate aim of the whole movement, from first to last, and I say that the Loyalists of Ireland oppose Home Rule because it finally means nothing }ess that desruption of the Union and separation from Britain. I am perfectly well aware that Mr. John Redmond and his leading followers have made frequent speeches acid:.statements in Canada and Great Britain to the effect that all they wish is control of purely Irish affairs, and that once Home Rule is established Ireland will be the most loyal and contented portion of the British Empire... But Irish Protestants remember the persistent attitude of those same gentlemen all down the past, and the fact that even today the moderate speeches made by them to British audiences (where any suggestion of disloyalty would ruin their cause), are absolutely contradicted when facing Nationalist throngs in Ireland}, or the extremists of America, who supply the funds for the downfall of English government in Ireland. The fact is that the Nationalist leaders suit their speeches and their appeals to the temperament and feelings of their audiences, and talk loyalty or disloyalty as best suits the occasion, but from first to last, throuj-h all shades and changes of active policy their war cry has been "Ireland a Nation," and their object the absolute independence of Ireland from British control. I do not ask you to accept that statement on my mere assertion, but I shall allow the leaders of the Home Rule party to speak for themselves as to whether they consider a local Parliament under Imperial supremacy a final settlement of the controversy. Years ago Charles Stuart Par- nell set the fashion for every Irish Nationalist orator since, when at Cincinnati he said: "When' we ibave undermined English misgoyernment we have paved the way for Ireland to take her place among the nations of the earth. And let us not forget that that is the ultimate goal at which all we Irishmen aim... None of us, whether we are in America or in Ireland, or wherever we may be, will be satisfied until we have destroyed the last link which keeps Ireland bound to England." Again, at Castlebar, jn Ireland, "Speaking for myself, and I believe for the Irish people, and for all my colleagues, I have to declare that we will never accept, either expressly or implied, anything but the full and complete right to arrange our own affairs, and to make our land a nation; to secure for her free from outside control, the right to direct our own cause among the people of the world." And later still at Dublin. Parhell declared "I will accept the Home Rule compromise of Gladstone as an installment of our rights, but I refuse to say that it is a final settlement of the national question, and I declare that no man shall set a boundary to the onward march of a nation." But you say Parnell is dead and gon** and his policy of hate and independence is buried with him. Is it? Those very words of his which i have quoted last were reaffirmed and adopted as his motto a few years ago at Newry by Mr. John Redmond, the present leader of the party. "I refuse to say that Home Rule is a final settlement of the question, and I declare that no man shall set a boundary on the onward march of the nation." Again, at Kanturk, in November, 1895, Mr. Redmond exclaimed: "Ireland for the Irish is our motto, and the consummation of all our hopes and aspirations is, in one word, to drive English rule, sooner or later, bag and baggage, from -our country." But come down to later days, and we find this same gentleman who professes such loyalty to England, standing before some thousands of his countrymen at New Rosa county, Wexford, on June 23, 1907, to say: "We today from this county Wexford, send this message to England. We tell her that we Wexfordmen today hate her rule just as bitterly as our forefathers did when they shed their blood on this spot. We tell her thai we are as much rebels to her rule today as our forefathers were in *98." Later still in Syracuse, November 9th. 1910, referring to those who objected to mere Parliamentary agitation and acceptance of Home Rule under Imperial supremacy, he replied: "They ask us to demand more, and I answer in the words of Parnell: "Let us get this first and then demand more." We do not set a limit on the march of a nation.".. No longer ago than 1911, at Aughrim in Ireland, Mr. Reamond used these words: "The ideals of the Gaelic League are our ideals and we will struggle fcr them in the future. However, you will soon find these ideals will be realized when Ireland will-be self-governing, and will not be self-governing as a province of a foreign nation, but in the sense of a fully self-governed and self-reliant nation, dependent on the genius and talent of our people, a country able to work out her owu destiny." Now, what are the ideals of the Gaelic League in Ireland? I cannot define them better than in the words of Mr. Shane Leslie, Nationalist can* didate for Londonderry at last elections, when he spoke last year at New York. These are his words: "Let there be no disguise of what we are after in Ireland. Let there be no second thought upon my words; let there be stated the truth, nakedly and unashamed, that we who have taken upon ourselves to save a dying language and to restore every custom and every language that we can rake out of the past, that we, deliberately and knowingly, have set ourselves��������� if I may use a great phase���������to break the last link that lies between Ireland and England." Dr. Douglas Hyde; the president of this League, and two other prominent members who were present some time ago at aTeacher's congress in Sligo showed their disloyalty by ostentatiously walking out of the room when the King's health was proposed, and Seumas Mac- Manus, the author, a prominent Leaguer, and former school teacher, wrote that: "The Irish youth who quits school without realizing his duties as a rebel is a discredit to his schoolmaster." Yet these are the ideals which Mr. Redmond publicly endorses as his ideals while professing loyalty to the Union and Britain. Of course it is perfectly in order for any man to change his views as conscience dictates, and if Mr. Redmond and Mr. T. P. O'Connor have suddenly become worshippers of Britain and the Empire, we are glad to hear it. But what of their followers? When it was rumored that Mr. Redmond had lowered the National flag Mr. John Dillon was quick to resent indignantly any such notion, sayjng: "The only reply that is called for is to point to the full reports of Mr. Redmond's speeches in Buffalo and New York, where the only ideal set forth was to reach the great goal of National Independence." Not only did prominent Irish Nationalists assail Mr. Redmond in the Freeman's Jorunal of Dublin for his professions of loyalty, but the Nationalist organ "Irish Freedom" poured its wrath upon him. Listen to this from its editorial page: "Mr. Redmond has either entered into a conspiracy with the English cabinet to deceive the English people or else he bas> entered into a conspiracy with them tp deceive the Irish people. The Irish people have been told that Home Rule, or whatever it is that Mr. Redmond is asking for, means Nationalism, the English people are being told that it is the antithesis of Nationalism." "Nationalism in Ireland has been the bond and the only bond that has held the Irish people together during the 740 years' struggle with England" . . . and "Nationalism means separation or it means nothing." - Why only six days previous to Mr. Redmond's ..indignant ..epudia- tion of separate plans on the part of his former leader Parnell or on his own part today���������the City of Water- ford, that sends him to Parliament, held a public meeting to publicly protest against welcoming King George and Queen Mary to Ireland. One of the City Aldermen took the chair, and, in words purposely repudiating the sovereignity of the King over Ireland, said: "We cannot honestly or truthfully present an address to any English King." This was perfectly in line with the speech of Dub- lin's Lord Mayor, who said on the same question from his official chair: i "No matter what Mr. Redmond might say about loyalty, he for one would never welcome the King to Ireland." Not only John Redmond but every one of his followers of any account��������� Dillon, O'Connor, O'Brien, Devlin ���������and all the rest, have repeatedly as- ! serted that nothing short of national independence will satisfy them, and that any measure of Home Rule will only be accepted as an instrument with which to gain that object. And I say that if you refuse to accept these as true statements of their purpose and feeling you pay these gentlemen tb.e very poor compliment of charging them with gross lying and wilful deception, of the very supporters who have kept the party purse supplied with dollars on their behalf. I have not time to expose ihe work of the official organization of the Home Rule party���������the United Irish League���������which is simply Parnell's Land League under another name. Por the last thirteen years this League has kept Ireland in a turmoil of intimidation and crime, boycotting and brutality; it has chosen candidates for Parliament and Local Government Councils; it has been, in the words of Mr. Redmond, "The real government of Ireland." Its avowed policy is the downfall of British rule in Ireland, and it has been described by the foremost judges on the Irish bench, themselves Roman Catholics, as "A conspiracy for the destruction of property, intimidation of persons, and the overthrow of the government of the land." The secretary of the League today is the man whom John Redmond publicly styled, "The real Chief Secretary of Ireland, my colleague and friend, Joseph Devlin." Who is Mr. Devlin? He is the member of Parliament for. the Catholic section of Belfast, and the president of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, or.the "Molly Maguires." He has lately succeeded in bringing the United Irish League under the absolute control of the Hibernians, which in his own words at Dublin in 1910, "Owes no allegiance except to Ireland and the Irish people," but is thoroughly disloyal and opposed to England; None but Roman Catholics are allowed, in its membership, and no less* an authority than William O'Brien, member for "Rebel Cork," lately declared that its object ia "The extermination of the Protestant community in Ireland.".. And he adds: "The domination of such a society would make this country *v hell. It would light the flames of civil war- in our midst and blight every hope of our future prosperity." Those are not my words���������they are the published statement of Mr. William O'Brien, one of the leading spirits of the Nationalist party fbr nearly forty years, and father of the United Irish League. In the light of such a statement from such a source we need scarcely be surprised to Mr. Devlin proclaim lately that "Fenian- ism was a baptism of -, Nationality from which men came forth cleansed of the dross of selfishness and slavery and made heirs to the Kingdom of truth and liberty." You men may know what Fenianism attempted to do in Canada, but you may not know that it drenched Ireland with blood and murder, terrorized; England with dynamite and " sought to realize Patrick Ford's gospel of cirme when he said "If there is any dynamite or lyddite that will blow the British Empire into the clouds or down into the bottomless pit, let it be used and forthwith. We believe all that so������-t of thing, and we feel sure that the men at the head of the United Irish League are not contrary minded." That was the policy of the man who poured his tens of thousands of dollars into Redmond's and Parnell'3 war-chest, and that is the policv which Mr. Jos. Devlin says made the red-handed criminals of Fenianism "heirs to the Kingdom of truth and liberty." And remember this, Mr. Devlin is the only serious rival of Mr. Redmond for the premiership in a Home Rule Parliament. But what is the difference? Mr. Redmond himself just five years ago this month said publicly in Dublin, "If there are any men more extreme than we are, my prayer for them is, success to all their ideals and their hopes."

Mr. Long fli-ft traced the growth of cities from the communal and walled age down to ita present dimensions. He spoke ot the pride we ought to have ln the fine safeguards and public utilities that are at the call of ovary citizen. Especially did he call attention to the splendid service rendered by the police force of tbla city, and the fire department also evoked his warmest commendation. With the inner knowledge of the lawyer, ho spoke of the difficulties the police had to contend with, and of their general unimpeachability In the face of trying circumstances. Mr. Long aald that the detective staff of Vancouver was one of the most efficient on the continent and their system of identification would be a matter of pride to a much older community. The whole force and power behind was at the service of every citizen, no matter what hla wealth might be. He paid a tribute to the aldermen, stating that they wore as fine a legislature as any city could possess, but it was the duty bf aU good citizens and of the churches In particular to uphold the hands of tho council'In their desire to promote a good moral tone In the city, and to let them feel that In all their aims for the public welfare they had behind them a large concourse of people who approved of their efforts. Mr. Long said that it was a shame that a young dty like Vancouver���������without any alum problem to contend with���������should have such an evil existing In its midst aa the liquor traffic. He said the greateat source o/ revenue which this eity had was in the liquor licenses, and the* lines that resulted directly therefrom, hot he found encouragement In the reeebt attitude of the licensing body to hope that it would not always be so. . . The meeting waa thrown open for discussion and, the Rev. Mr. Lett ���������raised t^e matter of the Indifference paid to the new Sunday closing bylaw. Mr. Long was able to throw more light on the question and made an astonishing revelation. Tbe president of the society, on behalf of tbe meeting, tendered the thanks of the meeting to Mr. Long for bis address and suggested a resolution be framed and sent to the mayor. This was proposed by Mr. Cox and seconded by Mr. Mark- land, and a copy is appended hereto: "That this society of young people tenders to HIb Worship the Mayor Its appreciation of the stand be took in opposing the renewal and extension of the liquor licenses in this city, and assures him that every Much action will receive tbe sympathf and mendation of the society.

Not once had she even glanced toward either Grant or me, but I noticed tho deep flush of color on cheek evidencing her excitement.

"I shall expect you to bo ready to ride with us on our return to Philadelphia, Claire," he said kindly. "It ls evidently not safe fbr you to rsmain here alone." ��������� Tory well, father." "Come, Grant we shall have to rUe {hard to overtake our men." The captain started roluotantly, oeowttng st me as he pawed. "I shook! enjoy having tho privilege of being loft tn charge bare." ho said, for my benefit "No 6o-_bt, sir," returned Mortimer coldly, "art X have already sslested Mr. SeLDoft Jos thst duty." They left the houie together, and I watched them ride past the window, followed by a dozen soldiers. As tbey disappeared Seldon turned his eyes to my face. He was rather a pleasant looking young man, but possessed an aggressive chin. "While I nave no orders to that effect, major," be said quietly,'! would take tbe responsibility of accepting your parole." "Are you not rather reckless t" "Oh, I think not," smilingly^ "I I would have you give it to Mistress iMortlmer���������surely under tbose condl* ���������tions you would never run away." ; She stole a swift glance st me, ���������shaking her head. ' "Thst would be too strong an im* iprlsonmsnt," I responded Instantly. !"Under all conditions I prefer not to ���������give my parole." X ��������� \ "Very well, sir," mors stiffly, his igenlallty vanishing with my rathqr! Jourt refusal. "Then I shsll take all ���������necessary precautions to prevent, es* ���������cape." He stepped aside to tho ball [door. "You may send two men in (here, Ferguson." ��������� Tbey entered quietly, glancing about with some curiosity, but taking posl- jtion on either side of me at Seidon's [command. Claire stood beside the; [table ln silence, her glance out the' window. Only as we wheeled about to lleave the room did her eyes meet! mine. Thst swift glimpse beneath the! dark lashes caused me to leave tbe room with swiftly beating heart At the door I stole another glance back* iward, but she had sunk Ipto a chair, her faoe concealed ln her hands. With Seldon ahead, and-the two guards behind, I tramped down the stairs Into the basement, and was again locked within the walls of tbe strong room. As tbe lock clicked I sat down upon the bunk far from being disheartened. Fate hsd been playing strange pranks, but I was not left without hope, for I felt assured I had read correctly ihe Swift message of those" uplifted blue eyes. She had not wished me to accept parole; then there must be some plan of escape already formulated ln her mind. I could only wait quietly, striving to solve the meaning of those 'suddenly uplifted blue eyes, and tbe promise they contained. Hsd, In s lady's doUosts "Dont despair; if tbey ass sway until after dark I will arteo*. Om do nothing before." There was no signature but X needed none to know Whoso fla-fors had held tho ponefl.

The Lady'e Plan. I must have remained there an hour undisturbed, listening to faint sounds In the rooms above, and peering out between the. iron bars at a little square of blue sky, and some waving branches. Once, witb ear pressed ;'agaln8t the door, I could distinguish tbe regular steps of a sentinel pacing back and forth, and out of tbe window I caught the silhouette of a cocked ���������bat and brown gun barrel. Seldon was ���������evidently guarding me wltb tho utmost care. . By tbe light I judged the time somewhat beyond noon, when tbe door jopened suddenly, and Peter appeared bearing a trap. He was as mysteriously silent and professional as upon his first visit not even favoring me with a glance, bis mind apparently Intent upon bis duties, moving about nolselssly, wiping tbe table, and placing bis load of dishes thereon with great care that all should be arranged In perfect order. The. door remained ajar during these preparations, a longer any doubt of her Intention, my apprehension riveted Itself on tho possibility of the British getting baok before darkness gave opportunity for putting her plans into execution. As to wbat they might be I cared nothing, being ready to assume any risk which would lead to escape. As the gray of twilight approached, my ears, strained to the slightest sound, distinguished the changing of sentinels. But I waited vainly for any visitor; darkness dosed me In, but no ono came [with food. ������ I pressed my face against tho bars striving to look Into tho night my only reward the glimpse of s few distant stars. Suddenly, ss I stood there, jrolces sounded at a distance, the words indistinguishable, and then footsteps crushed along the graveled footpath, as though a number of men were iwnnlng toward the back of the house. They were below my range of vision, but a moment later I heard the sounds of scattered shots, and saw the sharp flash of firing. I was stMl clinging to the bars, trying to determine what It all meant when the door was opened. Tbo light of a lantern ln his hand revealed a green and white uniform, and tho deeply seamed face of a- nan of fifty. ��������� "Quick now, yer damned rebel," he (mid hoarsely. "Bo np an'lam me one, jand' here's the rope." | "What!" ; "Didn't yer hear? or wasnt yer told jthe game?

Whether he escaped or was captured, (the delay would be short With the [knowledge came action. I bore the ���������unresisting Ranger to the floor, burl- ling down the tray of food he bore������in ia mass of broken crockery, and bound [him hand and foot, leaving the fellow {lying across the open doorway. He ���������was without arms, except bis heavy Sgun, which I left beside him. An in* latent I paused to ask a question, holding aloft the lantern so as to see bis jfsco. "Now, man, speak quick; you were ���������given some word for mo? Some In* istructions bow I was to get away?" . "Sure; but ye drew tbose cords (tight!

I had made half ths distance when s horse neighed suddenly to my right and, startled at tho sound, I fell Mst creeping cautiously forward into fthe shadow of a low bush. I had risen to my knees, believing the animal jtnust hs tho one left thore for my use, when I besrd tbs growl of a voloe, a man's voloe, from out ths summer bouse. An instant I could not locate tho sound nor distinguish lt clearly; then s sentence cut the sir so distinctly thst I recognised tho speaker. Grant! What was he doing bere? Hsd wo dewed too long? Hsd Fagin's pur* | suers returned? If so, why wss he there in the summer house, snd with whom wss hs conversing? I crouched beck listening, afraid to move. "I saw the gleam of your white skirt ss I rounded tho house,", he ex* Claimed. "By Gad, I thought tho horse was going to bolt with me. Fine hit of luck this, finding you out here alone. What's going on out yonder?" "There wss sn attack on tbe horse guard, and Mr. Seldon Is in pursuit But how does lt happen you have returned alone? Hss snythlng occurred to my father?" I judged from tho sound that he ���������sated himself before answering, and there was a hesitancy sufficiently noticeable, so as to cause tho girl to ask anxiously: "He has not been Injured?" "Who, the colonel!" with a short laugh. "No fear of that while pursuing those fellows; they ride too fast, ond are scattered by now all the way ftom here to the Atlantic Probably a squad of the same gang out there fighting Seldon.

Tire Factory For South Vancouver Rubber Factory May Be Located on -���������. the North Ann. Business Men Meet The Collingwood District Business Men's Association held a very interesting session at the Collingwood Institute, on Thursday evening of last week. School Trustee Morris, president, was in the chair. Several matters which had been criticised by the association were explained by Councillor Wilbers, who said Vaness Avenue could not. be fixed up untill the monetary stringency had passed away and the council was in a better, position. He regretted that the people, whose houses fronted on the avenue, had been annoyed by th*; abortive attempts at grading, but he said this grading plan had been inherited from the last council and the present engineer was not to blame. The question of a municipal electric light plant was brought up, but the feeling of the meeting was that it vyjoufd be inopportune to borrow money; for such a big undertaking at the present moment and not; only that but the municipality really required more light on the subject. Mr. Bursill, who has opportunities for getting information oh the subject both in the old country and in this, was asked to bring the matter up at Concessions Are Now Being Sought From Municipal CouncU. Negotiations are proceeding for the establishment of a rubber factory on the North Arm of the Fraser, near Main street, South Vancouver, which, it is anticipated, will have a payroll of $20,000 a month within a few years. It is proposed to erect a factory at a cost of $25,000, as soon as the terms of a lease for the necessary land, about five acres, have been finally settled and the documents signed. Among other goods to be manufactured'at the factory will be the Kelly- Springfield tyres. The Municipal Council has been approached in regard to certain concessions in the matter of taxes and it is understood that the council is prepared to meet the promoters of the scheme during the initial period of the factory's operations. TIMBER TALK A strong protest against the proposal to Increase the royalties on stumpage from 60 cents to $1 a thousand feet, was made .to Hon. W. R. Ross, minister of forests and lands, at a meeting held in the Courthouse on Monday morning, September 8th. Representations from*the various lumbermen's associations were on hand to interview the minister and his colleagues, who are inquiring into forestry conditions. The principal spokesmen were Mr. R. H. Alexander and Mr. T. P. Paterson, who presented to, the minister a series of proposals drawn up by a Joint committee of lumber operators, mill owners and owners of limits. The proposals wete that no increase should be made on the stumpage dues for No. 3 grades of hemlock, balsam and cottonwood or low grade cedar, and that the increases on No. 1 and No. 2 grades of fir and spruce and cedar should be 25 cents per thousand for a period of years frdmb 1916 to 1921, and from 1921 till 1926 a further increase of 25 cents should be put in force. From 1926 till 1936 lt was suggested that a further general Increase of 25 cents, per 1000 feet should be made, so that Nos. I and 2 grades would then pay $1.25 and No. 3 grades 75 cents per 1000. In return for these proposed in creases the lumbermen asked that the regulations for the grading of lumber should be embodied in the statute, and that there should be no increase ot rentals between now and 1936. "We consider this to be a most inopportune time to increase the royalties," said Mr. Alexander, in presenting the lumbermen's proposals. "Many of the mills are working short another meeting. At the next meet , ing of the association Mr. Morris ������������>e *������* otbero are completely shut will give a paper on the History and Development of the Local Government. Mr. Morris introduced a most interesting discussion by saying that the South Vancouver school trustees intended, through the medium of the school trustees convention, to induce the government to give encouragement to the teaching of agriculture and floriculture in the schools and he also thought that portions of tin- school grounds should be used as gardens for the children. This suggestion was warmly supported by Mr. Fraser, who said he had seen the children's gardens in Portland show, ing evidence of careful attention and of affording great delight. Mr. Kent thought that the time must be looked forward to when British Columbia would support her people by her industrial pursuits, and that the culture of the land was ah industry which offered splendid results for those who took it up in a scientific spirit. It was agreed that an effort, which should be made to add agriculture to the school curriculum, would receive the warm support of the association. It was also hinted that the association might offer a prize or even found a scholarship. CHEAP FUEL FOR BOUNDARY DISTRICT down.

South Vancouver, Sept. 19.���������The meeting of the council this afternoon received notices bf motion from various councillors, which, if carried into effect, are likely to effect a very considerable difference in the municipality, including, as they do, motions with reference to the incorporation of the municipality as a city municipality and the elimination of the ward system. The council also went on record as approving' the establishment of a packing company industry in the district, subject to the' establishment of sanitary safeguards. ** Notices of Motion. The notices of motion read included the following: (1) To Introduce a bylaw to incorporate the municipality into a city municipality. (2) To draft a bylaw to change the name of Westminster Road to Kings- way. (3) To introduce a bylaw for the elimination of the ward system. (4) To amend the health bylaw. (5) To bring in a bylaw to govern the corporation share of cost of all local improvement work carried on in future in the municipality. The health committee proposed that the medical health offlcer undertake to have water from private wells analyzed and in such cases where, such well-water was contaminated orders be given to fill ln these wells at once. Council approved. Packing Industry. The health committee were asked to consider an application by the Mainland Packing Company for an alteration in the sanitary regulations, by bylaw, in order tbat the company might establish an industry in the municipality, the desirability of which, subject to proper sanitary safeguards, the council approved. The council is to join with Vancouver, . New Westminster- and Burnaby in celebrating the opening of Kings- way on the 30th inst. In this connection council received the report ot delegates who met today at Burnaby with orders to join in drawing up the programme for the occasion. NEW WE8TMIN8TER EXHIBITION. New Westminster. Sept. 30.���������Everything is in readiness for the joint celebration on September 30 of the opening ot the great provincial exhibition at New Westminster and the opening of King6way, the newly paved highway between Vancouver and New Westminster and uniting South Vancouver and Burnaby. A half holiday will be declared in nearly every place on the lower mainland and the celebration will be in keeping witb the importance of tbe two events. A huge automobile parade has been arranged in which over 600 automobiles will participate1, the parade to accompany the officials who take part oyer the new road to the fair grounds at Queen's Park. With these two events and a Minto cup lacrosse game in the afternoon between the Salmon Bellies of New Westminster, world's champions, and the Vancouver Athletic club team, favorite's of the Terminal City, together with the horse show and special attractions in the evening, there should be a record crowd at the opening nf the big fair. The final Minto cup game1 will be played on Saturday, October 4. The third annual horse show, which will be held in the magnificent new horse show building, will eclipse all previous shows of its kind held in New Westminster and will he on a par witb the best ever held on the coast. A record has been established in -the number of entries received and Major General F. L. Lessard, C. B. of Toronto, the best judge of horse flesh on the continent, will act as judge. Entries have been received for the cattle department from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Washington and from many points in Britlsft Columbia, including an entry of 47 head of cattle The B.C.t.R. Central Ratepayers' Association Invokes Aid of City Council, Mayor and the Provincial Government. The Central Ratepayers' Association,-which met on Saturday evening, decided to invoke the aid of the City Council, the Mayor and the Provincial Government. , The council was asked by resolution not to grant any further concession whatever to the company, His Worship to call public mass meetings in. each ward for the ^expression of public sentiment, and the Provincial Government to strictly insist upon the carrying out of the recently passed regulation concerning overcrowding. Railway Rights. It was conceded that the railway had a right, legally, to ask the increase, but arguments against their moral fight and financial right to demand the increase were abundant. Many Eastern railways were able to sell transportation cheaper, notwithstanding winter snows having to be cleaned from streets and the greater cost of power. The reason the B. C. E. R. had not earned as much this August as last was that nearly 200,000 fares difference resulted from holding the exhibition in September this year. The fact that the usual railway bonus to concerts were not given in 1913 resulted in a diminution of traffic to those extra concerts, which had this year to be abolished. Nobody! was earning as much this year as last, and there was no reason that the B. C. E. R. should not share in the depression, as other business concerns were doing. Strong Opposition. Absolute opposition to any concessions was a feature of the maqy speeches. Concessions increased the value of the company's^plant, and Vancouver would have to pay for them twice when the B. C. E. R. was purchased. The railway had taken 17 cars off the regular runs during the day, and only put them on again at rush hours. They were making $53,000 a month as the result of the increased fares and paying out only $800 in increases to their employees, whose electric light bills had also been raised to make up the deficiency. Instead of paying fiat light rates, the men, said one speaker, had now to pay metre rates. The number of car men was being reduced to make five men do the work of six. Electric light, it was alleged, was bought by the company for less than a cent and sold for 11 cents. The company had not consulted tbe City Council in setting schedules for lines built since the passage of tbe franchise: Fourth Avenue, Broadway W., Fairview, etc.���������as provided for in that franchise. Overcrowding. Concerning overcrowding, It was stated that one speaker bad ridden on the Grandview cars for eight months, and not been able to' get a seat during either of his two daily trips. Provincial "crowding" regulations were laughed at by tbe company. Advice was given that the people Wants to See You Are You Particular Enough about the soap you use? You can not expect to keep your skin soft and clean if you use inferior soap. Poor or cheap grades ofjsoap contain too much alkali which is very irritating to the skin and causes roughness, and give the skin a scaly appearance* A good soap contains just the right amount of all ingredients, to make a perfect article, and will not only NOT injure the skin, but will tone up, cleanse it, and keep it in a healthy condition. The skin is a delicate organ and should be taken care of, so it can proform its duties. We are careful about the soaps we buy and keep a stock of good soaps that you are perfectly safe in using. When in heed of toilet soap again come and look over our stock be for buying, get a good article and you will be well satisfied. on Jan. 11. 1912, and a by-law "To from the Hon- Uent Governor Patter- CEDAR COTTAGE.

On a search being made for the by-law for the purpose of ascertaining the certified boundaries of the wards, so that the voters' list could be equitably prepared by the end of November, it was discovered that the document had not been signed either by the mayor or city clerk, nor had the city'B seal been affixed. Consequently the by-law could not have been registered as required by the Act, and the elections for aldermen under the ward system were therefore invalid. son, from his farm in tbe Delta.
