SATURDAY&CHINOOK Vancouver British ^^mmtW Columbia Canada Vol. IV, No. 50-Established 1911 SATURDAY, APRIL 15, 1916 Price Five Cents CURRENT COMMENT WOMAN AND THE SUFFRAGE REASONABLE BUT ILLOGICAL ��"f^**r|."'> diem at a distance and they resent it; treat J^ them familiarly and they do not respect you," writes Confucius of women, and in these words sums up not only the chief characteristics but the chief problems of the sex. Women reseat being kept at a distance from thc inner councils of men, yet if they arc ad- /*> mitted to those councils they have no respect fur such ',' decisions as may be come to. They may be reasonable but they are illogical. They are governed by sentiineni and not by fact. It is the inevitable consequence of tlieir sex; if it were otherwise they would not be women. Their demand for the suffrage is really based on a sentiment which ignores the faet of sex. Sentimentally- there is no reason why women should not vote, shouldnot sit in legislatures, should not take their places on the bench. Logically there is no reason why they should do any of these things, .not because they are not eapanle, but because they have far more vital things to do. The world is not dependent on politicians, lawyers, or the franchise, but it is dependent on women. ��� I f��they do not attend to thc vital matters, but instead waste their time with the cumbrous machinery of what isVknownas civilisation, civilisation will "put over" a woman the sort of things the) put ovi r" iln som nolcni public. Still legislation wouli be spasmodically virtuous ami therefore controlled cntirelj lv temporary sciitiinciii. which, if cmotionall* aroused, i- akin t i hys teria. line .ear the public would hi barred n'om coffee becau-e ii was had for the nerves, the next from eating grape unit because ii was a needless extravagance. WOMEN IN PARLIAMENT Imagine a really preiiv woman up for election.' She would gel ill by all enormous majority. Every man with red blood in his veins would insist oil voting for her whatever her views. Many women might vote against her simply because she was attractive. Most women hale an attractive woman. When she first took her seat in the house tbe premier would probably move tbe adjournment so that he might take her oul to dinner, and try and coax her into supporting him. There would he ho more Conservative or Liberal parties; There would be males and females. The sex war which Eugene Brieux forsees would be started. The men's party would consist of all tbe attractive women and of all the men. except some curmudgeons who disapprove of all women on principle, chiefly because they have been disappointed in them. The woman's party would consist of the aforesaid Curmudgeons acting in conjunction, but strictly on pre-arranged terms, with al! tbe women who had a grudge against men or their own sex. It is of course obvious that when women are v.llowed to sit in the halls of legislation they will prove a disruptive element. There is a woman senator in some southern American state. She appears from her photographs to be a nice, capable woman to have about the house. "Nice capable" explains everything. She may be a widow without encumbrances, or a spinster, or she may be a married woman with responsibilities of all kinds. For the moment memory doth not serve. Whatever she may he she is above all a senatoress. Not a wife, nor a mother, but a senatoress. Think of it. You have got to think of it���in fact you have got to get used to it. Whether this particular woman is a disruptive element or not. history doth not relate. But multiply her several times and you will introduce an element of discord into your legislatures compared to which Messrs. Brewster and Macdonald in the British Columbian parliament are the purest harmony. FASHIONS AND A PREMIER It obviously must be so. One woman or even two women would not make a very material difference although they would alter tbe lace of the house. But half a dozen women acting together or separately would soon have the whole house in a state of nervous prostration. They would vol,- entirely according to the dictates of their sentiments. They might hold the balance of power if they stuck together. Fortunately this is an extremely unlikely contingency. The cut of a new legislative blouse, lhe style of a legislative hal, would settle matters if nothing else would. The premier would have to be continually buying new hats i��� ,���-,|,.r ,,, obtain the support he needed. The minister of the Fashion Department would be more powerful and dispense more patronage than tbe Minister of Public Works does today. A woman cannot resist a new hat. lhe premier at a particular crisis would not be facing his opponents on the floor of the house, but facing the shop ,- windows on Government Street. If a woman were given a seat in the cabinet every other woman would be jealous "i her. lu these days a minister can become a knight. In those a woman might become a lady. "Lex talionis" would be changed to "Sex talionis." N'o married man or woman would be eligible for parliament lest there should be col- " lusion between man and wife jf both sat in the same bouse. A man would not dire to vole against bis wittiest be.im- peril his whole life. There would he no such thing as official secrets. A woman could not keep a secret from her husband or her worst enemy���another woman. I : ' > IV' 'J FATUOUS NONSENSE ��� . .,-.,. . - ., ���. . . . ���.���* You exclaim that this is fatuous nonsense.

She would attach no importance at all to her vote except on very special occasions when it might obtain her something in which she was really interested. It is not the vote women really want. They want something quite different . as has been said. But to get what they want women will have lo face keen opposition froin their, own sex. That opposition they realise will conic from women who have fettled wiih'.|ifc."tha't"is fulfilled* .their..* natural function,- Today many,';!' such iv. men are ardent supporters of the suffrage f ir women They believe they, . can legislate againsl long shop hours, and divers other evils ailciidani on |hc enipliiyujenl rjf.women, ...lim tbijir,,.

They honestly believi thai the vote will give them the satisfaction Ihey desire, will enable them to settle their score With life. Yet any one who think- for ore moment about ! life knows that is nonsense, A WOMAN'S PARLIAMENT Nevertheless tin vote i- a step in thc right direction, even though ii may bc abandoned as useless when women 1 become really emancipated. I'm bef ire this can be accomplished there i- a loi g and. weary r .\t>, -to travel. Women probably would not | a) much attention to tlieir own parliaments: that is to s.iv the) would 1101 assiini) the re'sponsi- i bllities and privileges supposedly exercised by men through parliament by forming their own legislathi bodies, InMd- i ing elections, and showing that ihey are quite capable of running iln ir life In a business like fashion. Reci mmeiiila- | tions coming from the Women's to tbe Men's parliament i would receive thc most careful attention and in icis way women cud accomplish .1 ver) greal deal But w mien �� ni nol like that They desire 1 . share the privileges 1 of legislation with men. not separated fl mi them, ,\sk any woman whi desires the vol ��� - md her friends do nol foi" .1 .v.'in.in's parlia 1 \ will tell you thai the) could nol make I < ' lation effi live with- Olll the consent of.

Hunger Strikes!! Why in one week men would surrender everything t" women ���it ihc latter were really united. But they are not and never will he. They do ni I want tn he without men. They Want lo be with him. and that, although they refuse to acknowledge ii. is the real trouble. THE HOLY OF HOLIES Thai is why men arc so foolish when they try and argue seriously whether women should have the vote or not. They treat it as a serious problem lo he gravely debated. Il is not; it is just tbe opposite. It is the finest entertainment yet devised for proving to the sexes how dependent they are on each other. But thc serious question which all women and all men must face is summed up in life itself. Is woman to be denied the right to live and give life just because she is unable to find a man who desires to marry her? Is woman, who may bc economically independent of man. to be atrophied in this fashion? Is she to droop and wither and finally perish knowing that she bas never had any opportunity to really live. Some women like some men, may not deem tbis the kernel of the problem. But for tbe great majority of men ami women that is the problem and no other. Let the mind pause and attempt to pierce the veil which bides the mystery of life. That, veil must be approached reverently and in no spirit of levity. It bides the Holy of Holies and those who realise its sacrcdness and its seriousness also realise that only women can raise it. Men are almost helpless until women themselves throw down the barriers of sex. And when they do that what will they substitute for the barriers? WOMAN A PARADOX But there is *io need to despair. It would bc absurd to imagine that the world is going to pieces just because the people in it are very foolish at times. If they were not foolish they would not be so pleasant.

In comparing the terms ol the two issues, some of the .American liuan- cial men are quoting the Monroe Doctrine, and one newspaper makes the following comment: "So far no American statesman has suggested that Wc would be too proud to fight for that doctrine. That is one reason, quite possibly lhe chief reason why Canadian government obligations are enjoying a much higher market in the United States than the bonds of Great llritain and France. So long as we are too proud or too prudent or too wise to stand squarely in the way of a flagrant violator of our primary rights under international law, we presumably would ,not stand in the way of Germany over-running al lFrance and all Britain, making second and third Belgiums out of them if she could, but one thing of which our investors are sure inrcs- pect to our foreign policy is that we would fight to keep Germany or any other European power from seizing territory on the continent."

The Editor, "Saturday Chinook": Dear Sir,���1 wish to express mj appreciation of the article on "The Curse of Patronage" in last week's paper. Government patronage and its resultant evils have been much in the public eye of late throughout Canada and the article by "Criticus" is most appropriate. It is well written and to lhe point and is worthy the attention of every citizen who is at all concerned with the welfare of his country. If the high ideals ol" our civilization of which we are so proud are lo be attained we must be increasingly vigilant regarding tbe insiduous and cancerous evils right in our midst as well as the more obvious ones from a- brpad.

Changes for betterment had been steady till iu February 1913, the contract for the present building was let to Messrs. Rourke, Macdonald and Moticreif, and excavating immediately began. The building was designed by the firm of Burke, Horwood and White, of Toronto, and is of reinforced concrete with front of cream terra cotta and Corinthian columns. The foundation has been made sufficiently strong to carry the additional four stories which thc original design calls for. The mechanical plant was undertaken by the well-known local firm. Messrs. Barr and Anderson. The store is run entirely independent with the exception of water and fuel oil and thc mechanical plant is a revelation. Light and power arc generated in the basement, where visitors can see the marvels of the work. The first store contained two departments and the present building contains forty-four.

Often tbe men would say they had seen a bear, but the bad animals would always run away into the forest and never bothered the cattle at all. But one spring afetr the bears had wakened after their long winter's sleep, one old fellow took a notion to steal our little pigs. I remember how excited we children were when father came in to say one of the pigs were gone. My big brother, George, took down his shotgun and said, 'I am going to get that old fellow tonight. I know bears just love pigs but we can't afford to feed any bears these hard times!' "That night father and George got out tbe gun and watched for Mr. Bear. By and bye they saw him coming but he bad already visited, thc pigs pen and do you know he was carrying a pretty good-sized pig in his front legs and was walking on his hind legs like a man.

There is no doubt that the show will be a large one and a win will be worth having. Many of ihe smaller shows throughout the province practically have no competition, and with the new fancier he is no wiser after the show than before. A good idea would be to have Amateur classes which would give some of our Chccchako poultry- men a chance to climb the ladder. * * * The Vancouver Poultry Association are forwarding several recommendations for the improvement nf the prize list in the poultry sections to the executive board of the Vancouver Exhibition. * * * Tbe North Vancouver Poultry Association hope to have lectures or poultry demonstrations at each monthly meeting.
