NAVY LEAGUE—The newly formed B. C. Navy League has not been long in getting to work. Ifederation was effected at a meeting on Tuesday, July 30th, and on Wed- y, August 7th, a delegation from the tie had a meeting with Sir Richard ride to lay before him the two Reso- [s with which they had been entrusted, irst: "That the Provincial Govern- be requested to make seamanship a |of the technical system of education Province." The second: "That the Iincial Government be requested to der the advisability of utilizing Egeria' in the proposed scheme of jical education referred to in the pre- motion." The delegation consisted President of the League, Mr. Clive Ips Wolley; the Bishop of Columbia; ] T. Julian; Mr. G. A.*Kirk, and Mr. akemore, the Secretary. The argu- II urged by the deputation were that nship is at least as important a branch inical training, especially in a Mari- Province, as some of the other ies which are already included in the curriculum; that experience shows very large percentage of all young Irained in the mercantile marine be- Naval Reserve men; that this would ance the easiest and the most expedi- lanner of starting a naval movement Inada;, that if Canada is to have a while she may at first be compelled n it from the Mother Country, the te aim of any statesmanlike policy be to develop seamanship among our Jieople. On the second Resolution it >ointed out by Mr. Julian of Van- who has rendered invaluable ser- connection with the "Egeria," that Iessel could at small cost be equipped raining ship for a hundred boys, but t is impossible to induce parents to their boys to take the technical train- lless arrangements can be made with (overnment to give them the ordinary 1 education. If the School Board and the Government grant were given ich boy trained on the "Egeria" a :r staff could be maintained, the same a public school. Mr. Julian estimated the cost of this would not exceed 00 per annum, and that in view of the ate drafting of many of the boys into Javy the Dominion Government might duced to co-operate. Sir Richard Mc- spoke favourably of the project and ised to consider the matter with a view scussing it later with the Hon. Mr. n, Minister of Marine and Fisheries, g his impending visit to the Coast, jpinion of The Week is that a "prima ' case has been made out by the Navy ie, and as tiie sentiment of the Pro- is so pronouncedly in favour of Idling practical in this direction, there d be no difficulty in complying with vislies of the League and making a start with such material as is now Ible. On the broad question of includ- amanship in the curriculum there can t one opinion: it would be a move in ght direction. I AY LABOUR —As the summer wanes and civic work is necessarily reduced, the subject of day labour s contract labour crops up like a hardy il. With more than 1,500 men already irged the question cannot fail shortly :ome a grave one. It is idle to gird .vernments or Corporations, or even actors, and ask whose fault is it that men are here. It would be just as ile to debate who was to blame for an ing army having landed on the shores, ask of the moment is to get rid of an nt which is not wanted, and to con- what work remains for those who [the greatest claim to it. The man who owns property is a natural foe of day labour because he claims with truth that the work costs more under that system. That is not the fault of the system but of its administration. With honest supervision day labour is as economic as contract labour, but the difficulty is that on the one hand the contractor manages to "sweat" his men more, and on the other hand many foremen do not press for as much work as they are entitled to get. There is no doubt that the city made a great mistake when it allowed the Canadian Mineral Rubber Company to come in without some practical restrictions governing the importation of alien labour. Such restrictions as were supposed to exist have been proved to be a dead letter. The relaxing of the Immigration Act, first of all by the Laurier Government, and later by the present Dominion Government was another mistake whicii should not have been permitted, and which should have been remedied as soon as its abuse was discovered. It is the duty of the Mayor and Council to face the situation. There are today more than one thousand men in this city of alien birth, for whom there will be no legitimate occupation during the coming winter. There are many more than a thousand men of our own race who will be idle unless employment is so systematized that every available job is given to them. This is the problem, and The Week, knowing that its attitude is supported by public opinion, urges the Mayor and Council to take the matter up at once and settle the policy to be pursued; but it will require to be far-reaching and to be administered with determination and vigilance. A SPLENDID IDEA —Readers of The Week will remember that when the eminent English actor, Mr. Forbes Robertson, was in Victoria he addressed the Canadian Club, and in the course of that address said that the day was not far distant when. English theatrical companies would cross the Atlantic and starting from Halifax would play _\\ through the Dominion until they reached Victoria. His prediction was cheered to the echo, but no one, least of all the speaker, imagined that it might be verified for years to come. It is therefore with unfeigned delight that The Week read the report of the meeting of the Directors of the Victoria Opera House Company this week and the statement of Mr. Simon Leiser that overtures have already been made to the Company for realizing such a scheme. No wonder that the Board received it with gratification, and no wonder that the members agreed to keep the door wide open for such an arrangement if it should be found possible. Of course there are English Companies and English Companies, and bad Companies are none the better because they happen to be English instead of American. We may just as well jog along as we have done, unless we can get something better, although it is hardly conceivable that we could get anything worse. This criticism does not apply to the half-dozen or so first-class Companies which have visited Victoria during the theatrical season, but it does apply with perfect truth and justice to the average. The Week has never ceased to use whatever influence it has in condemning the vulgar, uncultured, low-grade aggregations which have visited Victoria of late years and called themselves actors. It is true they have obtained a measure of popular support, but only because in these strenuous times people must have amusement. There can, however, be no question of the degrading tendency of the majority of the American Companies that have visited Victoria. They have no acquaintance with art or elocution and usually lack even the preliminary requisite of education. If the Direc tors of the Victoria Opera House Company can deliver Victoria from this American bondage it will have accomplished a greater work than the building of a new theatre. MR. T. H. MAWSON—A member of the Council took The Week to task for its editorial in last issue commenting on the treatment which Mr. T. H. Mawson was receiving from the City. This Alderman took the ground that the whole trouble had been occasioned by Alderman Cuthbert exceeding his authority as Chairman of the Parks Committee. Without wishing to enter into any lengthy discussion on the subject, The Week ventures to point out that the resolution to engage Mr. Mawson was endorsed by every member of the Parks Committee, including Alderman Dilworth, who is now so active in his opposition. A contract was drawn up by the City Solicitor on the lines of that resolution and sent to Mr. Mawson by the City Clerk. Surely it was a little late in the day for the City to change its attitude after matters had reached this stage, and whether or not the Chairman of the Parks Committee exceeded his authority, a matter upon which The Week is not called to express an opinion, it would appear to all fair-minded people that the following resolution justified the engagement of Mr. Mawson and will require a great deal of explaining away: "Extract from Report of the Parks Committee, dated May 13th, 1912: Paragraph 3— That Mr. T. H. Mawson be engaged to prepare a plan with specifications for the permanent improvement of the following parks and open spaces, viz.: Mt. Douglas Park, Beacon Hill Park, North Park, Gorge Park, the Gore in Pandora Street, the Gore in Blanchard Street, and the triangular place between Government Street and Douglas Street, known as the Fountain, for the sum of $5,000, upon the basis of his letter dated April 22nd, 1912, addressed to the Chairman of the Committee, and that a contract be prepared by the City Solicitor, and the Mayor authorized to sign and affix the Seal of the Corporation to the same. Signed by Aldermen Herbert Cuthbert, R. Humber, A. Stewart, John Dilworth, G. A. Okell." PANAMA CANAL —The Panama Canal is to be completed in 1914. Under the Hay-Paunceforte Treaty which abrogated the Bulwer-Clayton it was to be free to the ships of all nations on equal terms. The only preference given to the United States Government was that of being permitted to protect it. The Hay- Paunceforte Treaty was a judicial agreement made between two presumably civilized countries. In all civilized countries the highest ethical standard is one of honour. The Senate of the United States Government has just passed a measure differentiating in the matter of tolls to the advantage of the United States as against all other nations. This is in direct and open violation of the Hay-Paunceforte Treaty as well as of the recognized code of honour prevailing in civilized nations. In a few weeks "The Flying Legion" of San Francisco is to visit Victoria in the interests of the Panama Exposition. The success of that Exposition will depend to no inconsiderable extent upon the interest whicii these American millionaires are able to arouse in the project, not only in the United States, but in Canada. It would seem to be an opportune time for Canadians to consider the treatment meted out to John Bull by a nation which, not for the first time, has repudiated its treaty obligations. Many leading American citizens, to their honour be it said, have repudiated the action of the Senate in this matter. It would be interesting to know if the members of "The Flying Legion" are to be counted among the number. CRICKET TOURNAMENT — On Monday week the most extensive cricket tournament ever held in Victoria commences. It has been organized at the expenditure of much thought and care, and every effort has been made to bring as many visiting teams to the city as possible. The pains-taking Secretary, Mr. A. Wheeler, jr., has met with excellent success, and in addition to the half-dozen local teams which will compete, there will be teams from Vancouver, Portland and Cowichan. Every lover of cricket has watched with delight the growing popularity of the game during the last few years, and the present season has marked an increase in the number of playing teams which is gratifying to a degree. It is only three or four years since, so far as local cricket was concerned, it was a case of Victoria first and all the rest nowhere. Today it is doubtful if among the votaries of the game who make a few small bets on the result, Victoria is even the favourite. Indeed, in the opinion of the best judges it is a toss-up between four Clubs, Victoria, Vancouver, Burrard and Cowichan, with at least one other possibility. This will make the tournament interesting and leave the issue in doubt until the last game is played. The Committee has followed the very wise course of dividing the teams into two classes, so as to keep the top-notchers apart. Purchasers of a one-dollar ticket will be able to see twenty-six games and The Week confidently appeals not only to the usual followers of the game but to the general public to come out and support the "prince of games" and by their support render easier the task of the Committee. REGISTRATION —The Week has been asked to call attention to the fact that there is apparently a breach of the Provincial Law regarding registration which is occasioning considerable inconvenience. The law requires all companies doing business in British Columbia to register,' and to have an office and an agent in the Province. Outside merchants comply with this law, although their local agents have made a good deal of fuss about it, but outside contractors, and many of the biggest contractors in British Columbia are outside contractors, have tlieir offices in Seattle or Spokane or other American cities, and there are many instances in which workmen and others wishing to do business with the Company have had to journey across the line. Surely this is a violation of the law, and it is not merely an inconvenience to the person directly affected, but is opposed to the public interest and should be remedied. A FAIR WARNING—Several months ago The Week received a visit from two ladies who were collecting funds for the Industrial Peace Association. Their visit led to a lengthy discussion about the movement and they were furnished with a number of important facts of which they were previously in ignorance. They stated that they were collecting on commission; that all the money they secured was forwarded to Mr. P. H. Scullin, who presumably used it for furthering the interests of the Association, although of its actual disposition they knew nothing. They stated that they had been induced to take up the work by a Vancouver clergyman. They left, expressing a determination not to continue, but The Week hears that they are still collecting in this city. They are ill-advised, though not so ill- advised as the people who part with their money. L THE WEEK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1912 There are two classes bf nuisances which it has been my duty to chase for a good many years—noises and smells. The former I have chased with fair success; the latter with partial success. I have got rid of the soap-sud smell in the Inner Harbour; I still want to get rid of the mud smell which is so much in evidence at low tide. I think that everyone will admit that I had a hand in chasing tie bad smells out of our back alleys, which are now being kept cleaner than at any time ir. their history, thanks to the energy to Mr. Lancaster and his assistants. There is, however, a smell of another kind about which little can be said except that it permeates all latrines that are not constantly and carefully looked after. Needless to say, this is one of the most objectionable nuisances and yet with care it can be entirely avoided, but not with the slap-dash hurry and whisk with which the average Chink treats it once a day. I am sorry to say that in some of the largest stores in the town this important piece of work is badly done with the most deplorable results. I am not at all sure that in a good sized city it would not pay to have an inspector of latrines; I am quite sure that there are some offenders who will never be kept up to the mark until it is done. The only reason that I am bringing such an unsavoury subject up this week is that a lady has complained bitterly of the condition of affairs in this re .pect at the E. & N. Railway station and has voiced her complaint in a letter to The Week. The fact of the matter is that most of the janitor work in this city is characterized by slackness,, and the owners and agents of stores and offices should exercise a little more vigilance in keeping these men up to their duty. * * * 1 am more than a little pleased that my protest against the location o; a garbage dump at the back of the Empress Hotel, supported by the very vehement, not to say angry, opposition of all the property owners in that district, has had an immediate and decisive effect on the City Council. Their rash decision has been reconsidered and they have been induced to acquiesce in an arrangement by which the refuse will be dumped directly into the garbage scow at a point near the Chemical Works, where the worst that can happen will be a conflict of smells. * * * I have been not a little amused this week by watching the operations of the Westrumite Company on Vancouver Street. My readers will remember that the City held back a substantial sum as a guarantee of efficient workmanship and it refused to pay this sum over until certain necessary repairs had been made. A few weeks ago half-a-dozen men, several barrels of tar and a few loads of crushed granite arrived on Vancouver Street. A foreman with a very foreign accent made sundry chalk marks, presumably indicating the defective spots; a few very small pieces were cut out and the original pavement was replaced by an inferior mixture of tar and crushed stone, about the sloppiest substitute for pavement that I ever saw. Finally, these patches were dusted over; the foreman and his half-dozen workmen struck an attitude of admiration and the City Engineer was sent for to pronounce a benediction and to 0. K. the account. But the Westrumite Company had struck a snag. We have a new City Engineer who has a very definite idea of the obligations of contractors. What passed between him and the Company I do not know, but I do know that for a fortnight thereafter workmen wcre chopping out very large blocks of pavement which made the original repairs look like pebbles in a desert. In one case the piece chopped out •as equal lo about Fo per cent, of the whole street and in many others ran a third to half way across the street. These patches were in turn refilled, rolled and dusted, and the end is not yet. It will furnish an instructive object lesson to any ratepayer to take a walk along Vancouver Street and see what rotten work this Company must have performed when within one year or less so large a percentage of the surface has required taking up. .At the same time, I hope the City Engineer will be as particular about the quality of the pavement now being used in the repairs as he has been in the extent of repair demanded. Personally, I think it bears about the same resemblance to the specified Westrumite pavement as chalk does to cheese. * * * Having tried over the telephone several times without success to attract the attention of the License Inspector, I now beg through the columns of The Week to acquaint him with the following facts. On Monday last a gentleman well known in this city was invited by a friend into the bar of the Westholme Hotel for a drink. Not having had a drink that day before, he accepted the invitation; they each ordered Scotch whiskey, and drank it. In a few moments the gentleman referred to felt sick; he went into the street and felt so badly that he began to walk up town. The symptoms got worse; he felt feeble and faint, and before he had gone two blocks he was positively sick. He came into The Week office and appeared to be in a serious condition. On advice he went to the nearest drug store and secured a powerful emetic which was effective and which relieved him sufficiently to enable him to go home. He did not thoroughly recover for two days; indeed, all day on Tuesday he felt exceedingly unwell. Now I venture to think that he was poisoned, probably by rot-gut whiskey, but certainly by wha! was given him to drink in the WeMholme bar, because there was noth ng else to account for it. I venture to suggest that it is somebody's duty, either that of the License Inspector or the Health Officer, to test the quality of the whiskey sold at the bars of this city. At any rate, it ought to be possible to prevent such stuff being sold unless the bottles bear the label which is usual in such cases "POISON." * * * I am afraid that Vancouver newspaper editors are not the only men who are deficient in a sense of humour. They copied an article from "The Week" on the "Utilization of Waste Spaces" and took it as seriously as gospel truth, but I hardly expected to find the same inability to appreciate a hint on the part of the wide-awake and energetic officials of the Public Works Department. Last Sunday 1 noticed a crowd of loafers on the grassy sward in front of the Parliament Buildings. This may be the right of every cit* en in a free, democratic country, though I doubt it; but I am quite sure that the right does not extend to the littering of the lawns with newspapers and broken food. And yet this was the chief occupation of last Sunday's loafers. They seemed to have taken all too literally Bohemian's suggestion that there were plenty of gardeners to clear up the litter. Be that as it may, I will now abandon the ironical mood and put what was meant into plain English for the benefit of the Department. I would say, "Citizens, protect your property; and if you allow loafers on your lawns, at least compel them to respect appearances."

"The Road to Yesterday" with the serious theme of re- Ination with an insouciance which convincing as it is charming. kdy is rampant, but* a refined Idy which in no way detracts lthe main argument.

The Crystal Theatre |iere was an exceptionally fine out of amateurs this week on Jnesday evening, which, combined the regular show, made the per- lance at the Crystal on that night Jnigh a record one. Jimmie Rego ] was one of the professionals en- Id this week, put on a most suc- lul variety act and the musical | by Adam & Lewis was not a behind. Of the pictures shown laps the most notable was entitled iKnight of the Road," a Vita- |h film dealing witb the modern Another of considerable inter- lepicted the sport of catching cro- jes on the River Klang; this was |loured film of great beauty. The Majestic Theatre he Annual Round-up of Cowboys (Indians in Oklahoma was the big Lre this week at the Yates Street Itre and large houses were attract- ly this interesting film. The de- shown was wonderful, and it |t ever remain a marvel to the lay- how the man with the camera manages to dodge round so as to snap so many "critical moments." Romano's Theatre "Under Two Flags" a film dramatization of Ouida's famous novel was a feature at the beginning of the week at Romano's. It is true that the costumes in the earlier scenes were somewhat "outre" but the main theme of the story was well portrayed. Later in the week the history of the Maccabees was shown in picture and was well received by crowded houses. The Allen Players For playgoers next week the Allen Players are to stage a new play that has not before been brought to Victoria. The play is "The Transgressor," a dramatization of Owen Kildare's book, "My Mamie Rose." It will be found to be a play that will interest a multitude of people for it has a plot that holds the attention throughout. "The Transgressor" is practically a reverse of "Salvation Nell" inasmuch as the regenerated character is a man and not a woman. There is, however, a woman in the piece, she being one whose friendship with the man is for his good, whose influence opens for him a new life of purpose and endeavor. There are his companions Nellie, Skinny, Ames and Ollie, who try to hold the man back to their ways, and the batter between the woman and the man's friends, and the man's battle against his friends are effective pieces of stage work. Musical Comedy The muchly anticipated musical comedy opening of the season will occupy Friday, August 16, at the Victoria Theatre. Harry Askin's big organization in "Louisiana Lou," comes here virtually direct from the Chicago La Salle, where it has just concluded an extraordinary run of 356 performances. Manager J. J. Gottlob, of the Columbia Theatre, San Francisco, saw the production there on his latest Eastern trip and arranged with Mr. Asking that it be sent direct to the Columbia for its just concluded engagement in that city. So it came clear across the continent with the original cast and its four dozen beauty chorus intact. Princess Theatre "Thorns and Orange Blossoms" pleased a large audience all last week and gave a chance to the different players, which many previous plays have not, The play itself was slightly melo-dramatic, but at all times intensely interesting, and the illuminated street scene and also the transformation on the last curtain were very cleverly executed. Messrs. Mildred Page as Lady Violet Ryvers, did some good emotional acting. Mr. Richard Lonsdale was very pleasing as Lord Randolph and the comedy was especially well adapted to the ability of Mr. Howard Foster and Miss Hallie Mitchell, while Mr. Byron Aldenn as Sir Hubert Hay, gave a clever delineation of character acting. "Sunday," The Girl from the West, Ethel Barrymore's piece, will be staged the coming week. The opening act is in a Nevada mining camp, where a dying miner entrusts his child to the care of three weigh men, his only friends in the camp. They bring her up to the best of their ability, and when she is sixteen send her to New York to be educated in a convent. During her stay in New York she is discovered by an aunt, who, on the strength of her relationship, takes her to England. Miss Mildred Page will play the part of Sunday, Miss Barrymore's role, and every member of the company* will have an acting part. The characters, especially in the camp scene, are well defined types to which care and thought will be given. "Sunday," The Girl from the West, all week; Wednesday and Saturday matinee.

A week or two ago he wrote a few caustic comments at the expense of the clergyman who recently delivered a ceremonial address in the interests of the Orange Order. I am quite sure that "Hornet" had 110 intention to hurt anyone's feelings, or to make any serious contributions to a religious controversy. It is about the last thing he would ever dream of doing. I rather think that what he had to say was due to the fact that while the reverend gentleman might easily have fortified his discourse with references to modern history, he confined himself exclusively to ancient history. That was why "Hornet" spoke of "rusty weapons." Now all good little Protestant children know that away back in the Dark Ages priests and other high dignitaries of the Roman Catholic Church did many things which ■iffend- ed the sense of mankind and brought their Church into disrepute. It cannot for a moment be contended in the light of authentic historical records that the lives of all priests, to say nothing of popes, wtr. the lives of saints; nor can it be successfully urged that the Roman Catholic Church erred on the side of consid- erateness and mercy when dealing with recalcitrants. It is, however, gratifying to realize that now-a-days there is not one intelligent Roman Catholic who would defend the delin*^ quencies of the ancient priesthood, or condone the atrocities perpetrated by the Inquisition in the name of religion. Now the view is held by some Protestants and quite a number of Orangemen that the spirit of the Roman Catholic Church is the same in all ages, and that but for the strong arm of the civil law, backed up by an enlightened public opinion, the Roman Catholic Church stands ready to resort to the same disciplinary measures as she exercised in days gone by, in other words, that if she had her way she would re-light the fires at Smithfield for all ages. This seems to me a matter of pure speculation which may or may not he true; no one can possibly know. At any rate, there are much more imminent dangers threatening the peace of the world. One may readily concede that having learned the lessons of history aright, and having realized the incontestable fact that the policy of the Roman Catholic Church remains in nlany respects the same in all ages, it is the duty of every Protestant to be vigilant in order to resist the invasion of his privileges by ecclesiastical orders of every kind, and especially those of the Roman Catholic Church. I take it that this is the "raison d'etre" of the existence of the Orange Order. Without having the slightest intention to start a religious controversy, I have no objection to publishing the following extracts from documents whicii cannot be regarded as "ancient," and which serve to show that the reverend gentleman who undertook to espouse the Orange cause from his pulpit, might easily have made his references more up to date. I publish these extracts without comment, and simply to satisfy my readers that in this, as in all matters The Week is absolutely impartial and prepared to voice both sides of any public question of importance. Extracts from papal encyclical of Pope Pius IX, Decesmer 8th, 1864: ist. "The Church has the right to exercise its authority without having any limit set to it by the civil power." 2nd. "The Pope and the priests ought to have dominion over temporal affairs." 3rd. "The Church and her ecclesiastics have a right to immunity from civil law." Extract from latest decree of the present Pope; ist. "The Clergy should be tried for civil and criminal offences only in ecclesiastical courts." 2nd. "In case of conflict between the ecclesiastical and civil powers, the ecclesiastical power ought to prevail." 3rd. "The civil power is inferior and subordinate to the ecclesiastical power, and in litigated questions of jurisdiction should yield to it." Catholic "Orphans Friend," published in Victoria, personal organ of Bishop McDonald, of August .1909, warns Roman Catholic parents not to expose their children to perdition by sending them to the public schools of this city. Correspondence FOR THE MOTHERLAND Victoria, August 7, 1912. To the Editor of The Week: Dear Sir,—No one who has read your leading articles during the past twelve months can have failed to note with some concern the serious view taken therein as to our foreign relations and the possibility of conflict with an European power. Such words of warning as you have uttered are only too well confirmed by the Home papers, especially during the last few weeks and surely with all this before us it is time, high time, that we should be up and doing, doing our duty as British Columbians and British citizens. Sir, 1 appeal to all who love their Motherland to consider seriously the situation as it is at present and to ask themselves whether they are one and all shewing that spirit of self-sacrifice and patriotism which alone will render them worthy to hold this glorious country of our birth or adoption. You, sir, have put in far more telling phrases than I can the peculiar dangers which now beset us, but I would like to briefly indicate some at least of the steps that we should take to place our country in a state of defence. Our population is ranging six hundred thousand, neglecting remote communities, Indians and foreigners. Out of this 120,000 are adult males and of this number at least 25 per cent, could be counted on as available for the fighting line, being equivalent to twenty-eight infantry battalions with details and supply. We know how far our means of defence fall below this number. In Victoria we have the Fifth Regiment, an admirable body as far as efficiency is concerned, but few in numbers and purely for defensive operations. We are attempting, a few of us, to raise an Infantry Regiment—where is it? and should we stop there? One battalion of infantry is not enough for Victoria and Vancouver Island. What we need is a thoroughly good, comprehensive scheme which will enable us to utilize the material at our command and prepare otirselves against the day which is inevitably drawing nearer. Such a scheme would probably give three infantry battalions, two A. S. C. units and a couple of mountain batteries for Vancouver Island in addition to the present forces, and on the mainland British Columbia should put into the field at least ten battalions of infantry, four mountain battalions, one battalion of Pioneer Guides (from the whole Province), a thoroughly efficient transport and A. S. C. service and two or three companies of Railway Engineers. With this or a better scheme of defence in operation we should feel that we are at least bearing our part as "citizens of no mean Empire," and by "keeping up our end" we shall set free the hands of our kin at Ottawa and London, The timely visit of Colonel Hughes, whose keenness and desire for efficiency and the performance of duty is so well known, renders the present a most opportune moment to discuss the whole question. "Defence" not "Defiance," should be our watchword; at present we can do neither. I am, sir, etc., IMPERIALIST. HOME RULE Victoria, August 7, 1912. To the Editor of The Week: Wonderful changes have come over the spirit of Ireland's Home Rule dream in little more than a quarter of a century. One of the "greatest" prime ministers that ever addressed the British House of Commons (he of Jubilee Bill fame) charged Parnell, Redmond & Co. with wading through blood to the dismemberment of the Empire. The present Prime Minister dines with one of the bloodstained patriots.—and (tell it not in Gath) Tim Healy is hooted in Dublin! The patriots "marked time" when the above charge was brought against them by Mr. Gladstone, and sloothered him into attempting by a trick to pass the Home Rule Bill; but Ireland's truest friends were too much for him. When the Jubilee Bill hero made a second attempt to rush his Home Rule Bill and failed the bloody march began again, as they had been only marking time. It is so long since the demise of Charles Stewart Parnell, the "uncrowned king," he can be written of as an historic character. He treacherously wounded his best friends in the most vulnerable spot, inflicting mental torture worse than death. The treatment he received from his "friend" may have been meek and scriptural but by Jove it was not human, or Irish. "JUBILEE." Victoria, August Sth, 1912. To the Editor of The Week: Sir,—The "Lounger" has done much towards us being able to use the sidewalks without having our clothing torn and our shins barked by moving freight (which would be tolerated in no town, except Victoria). It could be moved over the walks at a more convenient time than the afternoon, when so many are abroad shopping, etc. I wonder if the "Lounger" would, kindly, for the comfort and health of the travelling public, go down to the E. & N. station and see what it is like. Only this week I had the tnis- fortune to have a wait of half an hour for a train, and really the smell was sickening and disgusting, especially in the ladies' waiting room. In future I shall wait on the sidewalk. Surely the white population have some call on the C. P. R. for comfort and cleanliness. A Chinaman flicks his broom over the place, for which it is neither better or worse. A WHITE TRAVELLER. BEAUTY Mourn nevermore for Beauty. Sigh no more Above the tender rose that it must pass. Lament no more that flowery loveliness Seems hut the prey of Time. Fear not for this, Since all these fragile things survive and live. The nightingale still through the hills of Thrace Makes music to the moon, though long ago Their temples and their, tombs have passed away. On crumbling walls and ramparts, once the pride Of unremembered empires, still return Spring's asphodels as frail as flakes of snow. Fear not for such as these, since they, in truth. Outlive the unguarded granite and its graves. All beauty has its wortli. It is enshrined Tn armour stronger than cuirassing steel. It bears a majesty that makes Death meek. And robs him of his sting. We hate to bruise The slender bird, or trample on the rose, Or soil the snowy-winged anemone. We ne'er would kill one lightest Doric note That links us with the childhood of the world. Ay, loath we are to rend the quiet wings Of rainbow-coloured moths. When fragile gifts Arc touched with loveliness we treasure them. The marble that in Milos once was made A dream of tender beauty has not died Through all the centuries ',t and lovely things No succour need, and nothing good or bad More obdurately battles through the dust Of Time and Death than earth's frail loveliness ! —Arthur Stringer, in The Canadian Magazine.

Not that Victoria has suffered in this respect, but it is a matter of common knowledge that Prairie town-sites Have, as a rule, proved "wild cats," and much good money, both from East and West, has been sunk in them. A firm with a reputation cannot afford to handle anything but a genuine property, and if the infallible test of a favourable report in Dun & Bradstreet counts for anything, then the firm of Moore & Johnson, which is handling the Stamford Park subdivision occupies a very high position. Apart from their local reputation which needs no comment, and the fact that they have conducted an enormous amount of business to the entire satisfaction of their patrons, there is the usual bankers' reference, which any investor may consult by applying to the Royal Bank, Government Street. Since their advent into Victoria Messrs. Moore & Johnston have shown themselves to be both enterprising and ingenious. They ' were the first to introduce pictorial maps of sub-divisions into the city, and their latest one of Stamford Park is a beautiful work of art, depicting its glens and glades, with the magnificent far-distant prospects of this attractive property with photographic accuracy and in their natural colours. Readers of The Week may remember that firm of Moore & Johnston took first prize on last Victoria Day an original and skilful window desj which was most effective for its pi pose. Since then Messrs. Moore I Johnston have had many copyis and pictorial maps and model wind| designs are now a "sine-qua-non" any first-class real estate firm. Full particulars of the Stamff Park sub-division will be found in advertising columns of The Wej and Messrs. Moore & Johnston their large staff, are at the entire posal of their clients to show th| over what is undoubtedly one of most attractive sub-divisions yet fered in the vicinity of Victoria, Beautiful.

The plans announced by Mayor Lee last month are the Df more than two years work by the mayor and the civic admin- n of New Westminster. During those years little was allowed out concerning the scheme, with the result that all arrangements e made without the success of the plans being prejudiced, ie object of these plans is to build a great fresh water harbor ockage for the largest ships of the Pacific Ocean on the great River in the neighborhood of New Westminster. Realizing that without railways are useless, the city has entered into negotiations ie Canadian Northern Railway, Great Northern Railway, ancl ailways. The Canadian Pacific Railway is willing to give every nodation to the completion of the plans, while the Chicago, Mil- and Puget Sound Railway is taking interest in the proceedings, s expressed its intention of coming to New Westminster within ct few years. The Canadian Northern Railway and the Great rn Railway are the most immediately interested. Mayor Lee en in close consultation with Sir William Mackenzie and Sir Mann, and matters have now reached that stage where it can fidently stated that the Canadian Northern Railway is preparing : advantage of the splendid facilities offered by the scheme. Lee, who is now in London, held a conference with the Great rn officials at St. Paul on his way out, ancl it is extremely likely is railway will also take direct advantage of the plans proposed. Owns Its Own Waterfront ew Westminster starts its harbor development with the great age of owing almost every foot of its own waterfront. This i it to go ahead without asking for the assistance of any private tion, and at the same time supply industries with sites on ible terms. Realizing this condition of affairs and the un- led advantage existing on the Fraser River for the construction of the finest fresh water ports on the Pacific coast, Mayor Lee 1 a rough scheme of developing these advantages over two years To perfect these and to make certain of their feasibility the city some eighteen months ago voted a sum of $15,000 for the ment of Mr. A. O. Powell, a prominent harbor engineer. r. Powell was soon convinced of the possibilities of the scheme, lied the river at all seasons and finally drew up the plans. He refully worked out the estimates of the cost ancl this has been to be in the neighborhood of only $6,000,000. Compared with ults to be obtained ancl with the expenditures made at other :his sum is trifling and as it would only be spent gradually during t five or six years, it would not prove a burden in any way. ie scene of the main part of the new port is on Lulu and Annacis , some thirteen miles from salt water, on the north bank of the Give Your Typist Good Stationery and She'll Give You Better Work Baxter & Johnson Co.

Harbor Commission Will Handle Details The details of the docks will be left to the proposed harbor commission, but as a first step it has been suggested that the channel be dredged to a width of only two hundred and fifty feet, with a turning basin at the end, and sufficient dockage to accommodate the present shipping of the coast. Then as the trade would grow, the remaining docks could be put in according to the completed scheme, and the channel dredged to its full width. With regard to the fifteen miles of river from the docks to the sea, works have already been started by the Dominion Government which will, when completed, give an average depth of about thirty-five feet for the whole distance. The channel, with the exception of one bend, will be almost straight, ancl ships will be able to come up under their own steam ancl docks in the quiet water of the Westminster waterway without the expensive assistance of tugs. At the sand-heacls at the mouth of the river, the Dominion Government has let the contract for the first 6,900 feet of jetty, which will confine the stream to its channel ancl cause the silt carried clown by the Fraser River to be carried right out to the deep waters of the Gulf of Georgia. The Dominion Government is committed to an expenditure of over $2,000,000 on the improvement of this channel and already a goocl depth of water has been secured all the way from the sea to New Westminster, and points further up the river, so that ten thousand ton vessels have docked at Port Mann without difficulty in the past. Railways and Proposed Scheme In trying to link up this proposed system of clocks with the Canadian Northern Railway and other railways it was found that the key to the position was on Front Street, New Westminster. Accordingly plans were drawn up for the widening of this street, and at the same time for the improvement of the street's waterfront, which will give both railways all required facilities and New Westminster a straight municipal quay of over a mile in length. The plans call for the widening of the street to one hundred ancl ninety-two feet in all, and the construction beyond this of an unbroken line of wharves with warehouse and factory accommodation along the whole front. The street will then be continued west in a straight line by a railway bridge over the north arm on to Lulu Island. On Lulu Island there exists acres of land available for railway yards, industries, etc. According to the proposed plans the Canadian Northern Railway will run oft* the bridge over elevated tracks along this distance ancl across the proposed railway bridge down to the grade on Lulu Island. The same plans, also call for the construction of a fine passenger depot almost opposite the present city hall. The Canadian Pacific Railway ancl Great Northern already have tracks together with the British Columbia Electric Railway on Front Street.

MILITARY TRAINING August 6, 1912. the Editor of The Week: Sir,—Having read the remarks of llonel Sam Hughes at the Canadian lib last week with considerable in- lest, may I be allowed to point out It his proposals are very similar to Ise of Field Marshall Earl Roberts Is set forth in the League which Ihas founded' in England for com- (sory universal military training. It be remembered that at the close lhe Boer war, our little great field Ishall went to South Africa to visit grave of his only son, and inci- |tally the other battlefields, many vhich had been the scene of Brit- Jeverses. So impressed was he by (lamentable want of markmanship fayed by men who had the mak- I of the finest troops in the world tem, that on his return he and a [friends started on the crusade for ersal compulsory military train- Ifor all British youths, a crusade lh he is still bravely leading, Igh this autumn our splendid T-an will enter his 81st year. This tue, which now numbers many Bred thousand adherents, exists educate public opinion so that In a Bill for national service is light before the British Parlia- lt, the people may be wise and pa- ltic enough to insist on its be- ling law. The proposals are that ly boy shall be compelled to enter It corps while at school, which [instruct him in rifle shooting and Irtain amount of military drill. At lage of 18 he will be compelled. |o into camp for four months' con- dus training and the two succeed- | years for shorter periods. This ntirely different from the old con- ntal system of conscription and |ires the training of every man, or low, rich or poor, without exceptions whatever excepting pical deformity or infirmity. It is Jely akin to the Swiss system, Ich is greatly favoured by most [ipetent military authorities, as the means of producing a "Nation in ns." The Territorial system in |tain has failed lamentably, because voluntary. Many young men are brred from joining the force for of losing their jobs. Many embers also are unable to spare their to go to camp in face of the lere commercial competition to fell they are subjected. Finally, the patriotic man who goes, does the He and bears the burden for nine rkers or slackers, and he is getting Id of it,—and so the Territorial |iy is crumbling away in the hand its creator, Lord Haldane,—-a Iyer who knew nothing of actual Ifare but who opposed his views to j actual practical fifty years experi- of a tried soldier like Lord berts. lo the unprejudiced observer, it is Ising strange that, in a world which Irmed to the teeth, and resembles |armed camp more than anything the men of the Anglo-Saxon alone refuse to bear the burden national self-defence. Great Bri- the Dominion of Canada and the lted States all present the extra- Inary spectacle of vast bodies of fained, undisciplined men standing : to face with nations consisting of lily trained and disciplined troops led with all the newest devices of Bern civilization — hydro-planes, tplanes, airships to drop bombs 1 explosives; these are all added to Imines, torpedos and other engines Idestruction which are now in ue, yet the Anglo-Saxon races to fch I have alluded, look calmly on le their rivals annex all these new- linventions, and are content to rein as helpless in the face of high- |rained troops as the women who to them for protection. Aus- la and New Zealand and the Ion of South Africa, have indeed |ized this amazing and alarming state of affairs and have passed laws for universal training of their citizens for national defence. The men of the Old Country are gradually realizing their peril and are giving in their adherence in thousands. Will not Canada do the same? I am, sir, yours faithfully, K. E. DAMAN.

THE WEEK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1912 irs and Disturbances— The Cry of Wolf ritten for The Week by C. B. S. it would be best for Germany ;e Britain into her confidence o explain her chief difficulties Is her future expansion and jxpose the skeleton in the cup- which we know must exist, in that a lasting arrangement can me to. Satisfactory interna- harmony can alone be brought by such fair open dealings can alone suppress those avellian principles that are be- ) much exercised by the so- social reformers and rapidly nining the internal good order ry state in Europe. In fact for aitter of that of every existing ndent power. Whatever Mr. m Angell's critics may have to gainst the completeness of his n his "Great Illusion"' we are to acknowledge the soundness fact that the problems of capi- labour are overstepping inter- boundaries and forming coin of a very undesirable nail that, unless timely notice is nd these matters settled fairly better classes and the clearer the necessary adjustments :e the form of not gentle evo- as at present, but downright ded revolution. Luckily we ter off than Germany in this at the present time internally, jermany does not soon find the means of setting her house in she may find herself face to th that great alternative (like in 1870) of diverting the of her people towards an out- emy at any price rather than volution at home, any knows full well that Bri- s no wish for war and more Ily just now when every month :e means so much iu the ar- ent of her Imperial affairs . in any way causing interfer- other powers. It is therefore arable time for Germany to her plans, make good her rents on the most friendly basis, n rest assured that if she arrange things to her own tion now she never' will have ir opportunity, and she can onfidence from the fact that is fully aware that the co- that bound Russia to expand sorb in an easterly direction the Crimean War) seeking n the China seas and approach- r Indian frontiers has done or that Empire than had she lowed more freedom of action eloping her European trade s. German Emperor has his mind loment on Asia Minor and to- tfesopotamia. Why not, should so disposed, assist his ally the proper settlement of that and so divert the minds of pie from home troubles and [ a few wholesome lessons into the minds of the misguided Turks? We hear of somewhat,far fetched theories about the strategic position that Germany would occupy threatening our Indian Empire and on the lines of our communication with the same, but if we do not let other countries have a say in the affairs of territory that does not come directly under our control a time must come when they will be driven to bump into us for absolute want of space, and surely it must be better to avoid the latter contingency while we are in a position to do so rather than he forced to war at an unsuitable time, and, under present circumstances, we are in all probability in a position to. prevent. By preventing the world expansion of Germany at the present time both France and Britain are strengthening her hand in Europe and confining her naval power to the North Sea, which fact compels Britain to tie her battle fleets to the same waters. Had Germany other interests to protect away from home waters she would be compelled to disperse her squadrons and then Britain would be able to properly protect her trade routes as she has always done in the past instead of having to enter into alliances and agreements, which can only restrict freedom of action and lead us into international complications without being of any material benefit to ourselves. STRAIGHT TALK In the editorial columns of "The Fruit Magazine, Scientific and Canadian Citizen for August, the " 'American' Settler" and the "Dangers of Life in Cities," are given prominence. The former is a plea for fair treatment for the immigrant, with logical arguments in his favor; and the latter seeks to emphasize the remarks of Dr. Max Xordau, of London, on the subject of degeneration of the race through too much city life. The frontispiece shows a four-color plate of "harmless birds" so far as agriculture in Canada is concerned. The "Ottawa Letter," the "Serial Story" and "Lady Adanac's" department are exceedingly interesting, besides special articles on "Crown Gall," "Hairy Root," "Brown Rot," "Breeding Stock for Utility," "Cutworms," "Mushrooms," "Statistics on Canada," the "Dry-Farming Congress" and the "B. C. Market Commissioner's Report" appear. The number is up to the usual standard.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1912 STAMFORD PARK / " Uplands' in Miniature The Last, Best, Nearest Subdivision This delightful residential property is only two miles from the centre of the city and half a mile outside the city limits. It is nearer the Post Office and City Hall than Oak Bay, the Willows and several subdivisions which have sold at sight. The property is lightly and beautifully wooded. It is laid out with a central drive which gives access to every lot and ter minates in a scenic park. This park will furnish a permanent recreation ground for the lucky purchasers of lots in the Stamford Park Estate. Stamford Park starts within a few feet of of Cedar Hill Road and is practically parallel with same for its full length. It commands a far reaching panoramic view overlooking Cadboro Bay to the northeast and Oak Bay and the Straits of Juan de Fuca to the south. The property varies from gently sloping meadow land and shady, cool oak groves to "upland" of scenic grandeur. The lowest point on the property is higher than Cedar Hill Road. Its panoramic sweep of view stretches from Cordova Bay to Esquimalt Harbor. Looking south from Stamford Park Victoria, "the city beautiful," lies at one's feet with the gorgeous Olympic Range as a background. The lots in Stamford Park range from 50x122 to 50x136 with a few special lots that run to a quarter of an acre each. To insure a high class of residences in Stamford Park there are protective building restrictions which will tend to preserve the high character which this neighborhood already enjoys. Stamford Park contains about 100 lots. The sale will open on Wednesday morning, August 14th, at 9 o'clock. The prices will be from $100 to $200 per lot cheaper than any nearby property. Twenty-five applications have already been received for reservations and owing to the limited number of lots it is necessary, in order to avoid disappointment, that prompt application should be made by intending purchasers. Prices and terms are so reasonable that this lovely property will be within reach of everyone desirous of possessing a beautiful home close in. Stamford Park is within 4 minute's walk of the projected Shelbourne St. and Mt. Douglas Park electric railway. Not the least important feature of the Stamford Park property is that it possesses excellent natural drainage, thus ensuring sanitary conditions.

AN IMPROVEMENT "I got a new attachment for the family piano," said Mr. Growcher; "and it's a wonderful improvement." "What is it?" "A lock and key." To Protect Canadian Forests Mr. James Lawler, of Ottawa, Secretary of the Canadian Forestry Association has just returned from Montreal and the City of Quebec, where he was making arrangements for the Dominion Forestry Convention to be held upon the invitation of the Government of British Columbia, in Victoria, B. C, on Sept. 4, 5 and 6. He found great interest being taken in this convention, in which Sir Richard McBride and Hon. W. R. Ross will personally take part, and which will be held in the best time to see the Pacific Coast and the prairies. Hon. Jules Allard, Minister of Lands and Forests for Quebec, has consented to attend and he will be accompanied by some of the officers of his department. Eastern lumbermen and forest engineers will also be well represented. The railways have granted greatly reduced rates for the return trip to Victoria to delegates. Mr. Lawler, who is looking after the arrangements, states that everything is looking well for one of the largest conventions ever held on the coast. IN PRACTISE Husband—"Your extravagance is awful.
