H. Stevens, Editor. VANCOUVER, British Columbia, DEC. 9, 1910. No. 31 Bridges Large Expenditure Demanded. Three large and expensive bridges are being "demanded" by interested property owners this year. One from the foot of Burrard street to Kitsilano. A second from Dunsmuir street to Keefer or Harris. A third from Georgia street to Harris or Barnard. Aid. Hepburn, with an evident desire to satisfy all concerned, has suggested that the last tow should be welded into one. ���������������'.������������������������, Briefly the position is this: The city cannot afford to build those three bridges this year. So it simply remains to decide which shall take precedence. Interested property owners arc pressing strongly for their favored structure. Aldermen, with one eye on the coming elections and one on the city's interest, are doing some lively side-stepping. It is unfortunate that the council has not been able to adopt some scheme of civic development, owing to the persistence of the Board of :Works in retaining as engineer a man who is too small for his position. The consequence is that matters of this kind are often decided by the amount of pressure of the delegations, etc. ' The Burrard street bridge will be a necessity soon, but can afford to wait at least one year. # , The traffic is becoming very congested on Hastings and Pender streets, and relief must be given. Dunsmuir street to a point at or near Keefer street would form the next street south of Pender. This bridge is "the shortest and the cheapest to construct. It would immediately relieve the present traffic congestion on Hastings and Pender streets, and should \ be constructed without delay. / The Georgia street bridge will also soon be an imperative necessity. I This will connect with a point at or near Harris stret or Barnard street, and must be completed befoie the Union depot is erected. We are informed on the best of authority that if this bridge is left over until next year \ that a scheme will be laid before" the city whereby at least one-half the cost will be borne by private parties, hence the wisdom of leaving it over, The project to unite the two should be strongly opposed. It would only serve as a palliative measure to keep the interested parties in good humor, but these same citizens, if assured that'their respective schemes will receive attention as soon as conditions warrant and make possible, would agree to any scheme which was undoubtedly in the city's interest. (��������� - r���������; . BRITISH COLUMBIA LANDS. Government to Take Action. I' - Citizens of British Columbia will be pleased to hear the announce- V ment of Hon. VV. J. Bowser that it is the intention of the Provincial I Government to adopt new and' progressive measures relative to the Pro- I vincial lands. We have long contended that in regard to its lands British Columbia has been exceedingly prodigal, but now with the advent of Hon. W. Ross to the .cabinet as commissioner of lands, we look for some definite policy. Settlers, not speculators, should have the first claim upon the government. NEEDED LEGISLATION. As the time for the assembling of the Provincial House draws near (January'll) various personages, such as editors, politicians, reformers and re-hashers, are full of suggestions of "needed legislation," we humbly beg |-to tender our quota: An amendment to the Companies Act which ivould [make it illegal for promoters or organizers of joint stock companies to yissue stock below par or to allot any promoter's stock." The need of this is very obvious. It would give bona fide schemes a j chance to pay a dividend. Take, for instance, a mining proposition. A company is promoted to [develope a mine, a million shares are sold at five cents per share, which would give a working capital of $50,000, out of which is paid 20 per cent, commission for sale of stock and organization expenses, which would reduce the investment to about $30,000 to $35,000, and then it is expected that this is going to pay a dividend on par. The chances are that the stock will be boomed and resold at figures approximating par, thus.a'divi- [idendat 7- percent, on par- \voul 4 He esses COMMISSIONER EDGETT DOES BUSINESS WITH THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS. According to reports of a special meeting of the License Commissioners held last Wednesday as made in the local evening papers. Com. Edgett has confessed that he does business with the trade. Judging from these reports, Mr. Williamson asserted that the articles in the "Western Call" cast a reflection upon the Board as a whole. Let us see if this is so: < ��������� , Commissioner Williamson is a contractor and builder and consequently does not necessarily depend upon the hotel business at all. Commissioner Crehan is a chartered accountant with a very extensive business connection of the highest kind and therefore is totally independent of the traffic. Commissioner Findlay is a financial broker and is not brought into personal business relationship with the licensees. 7 Commissioner Edgett is a purveyor 6f supplies, such as meats, groceries and provisions, and which are purchased daily in large quantities by the licensed victuallers. 7; Mr. Edgett Does Business with the license holders as he himself declared in the above quoted reports. -���������'���������'" The position of a commissioner is similar to that of a judge. He must pass judgement upon license holders and upon new applicants. Would-we allow a judge of any court to try a case in which he was personally interested ? Do we not refuse to permit the Mayor and Aldermen from becoming interested in City contracts? Then why make, any exception of Com. Edgett'?

British Elections . I}16 ProBress of the British election to date of writing is distinctly indicative of a preponderance of Conservative sentiment. There is quite a number of sections still to poll, but now that over one-half of the constituencies have polled, it is pretty safe to predict that the Liberal, Labor, Nationalist coalition will not have a working major iy. The results are: Liberals, 133; Nationalists, 44; Labor, 25; total, 202. Unionist, 189. This means a net gain for the Unionists of three seats. It also shows that the Unionist sentiment remains unbroken, while the factions which go to make up the incongruous administration forces are still badly split up. The Liberals will still b<- under the heel of the Irish Nationalists. It also demonstrates the folly of a large portion of the electorate catering to the whims of a few prejudiced bigotted fanatics. The Liberals of England are ruled by the small, insignificant Nationalist party, and thus the whole administration is made subservient to them. Ultimately the better sense or the people vi'ill prevail, and as another election will be necessary within a year, it is safe to say that at that time the Conservative Imperial forces will win. 7 7 : ' v> t ^ r it.\ V-fl EMPIEE SOUDABZTY, In an editorial the "Standard of Empire" has this to say: "There never was a time when, for practical business reasons, Preference within the Empire was so badly neededras ;it is at this moment. No one can reasonably blame Canada for the commercial arrangements she has already entered into with foreign countries. 7Every practical man knows now that, failing the safeguard of Empire Preference, other, commercial arrangements with our foreign rivals will be entered into by the Dominion Oversea, to the ultimate detriment of British trade and Empire solidarity." This is a solemn truth which should be constantly heralded from one end of the Empire to"the; other. Political partizanship falls into insignificance in the face of this great problem of "Empire Solidarity." ;: All questions of ^'Tariff,'V''Home Rule," "Navy Supplies," "Inundation," etc. should be analysed from this standpoint and no measure should be accepted which does hot tend to advance the unification of Empire. INDO-CHINESE OPIUM TRAFFIC. ^ At a meeting held in Bangalore a protest was made against the Indo- Chinese opium traffic, and an appeal was made to His Majesty's Government formally to end the connection of the Indian Government with the export trade of China. Amongst the suggestions made was that the financial difficulties created by the cessation of the opium revenue should be met by the British Imperial and Indian Government in a way that should not increase the taxation of the mass of the people in India nor injure the Feudatory' States concerned. i" ���������-] TRAVEL VS. WAR. _ Which Is Tto Most Fatal? Last year (ending June 30,'1910) the railways of the United States killed 3,804 persons, an increase of 1,013 over the previous year; they injured 80,374, or an increase of 18,450.. We have not the figures for Canada to hand at present, but they also amount up into very high and alarming figures. What is the chief cause? There is no doubt careless- , ness and desire for speed, with single tracks are responsible for much. The railways of England ran for 18 months without a single fatality. The government-owned railways of Australia did not kill a soul last year. This is a striking contrast to the United States and Canada. The whole question needs the "probe." If we were at war and in a similar period had the same number of casualties, we would see a nation of mourners, but this awful, wholesale assassination continues and we remain unperturbed. It is a human sacrifice on the altar of modern greed continuously offered with a refined indifference which makes the human offerings of the ancient Sun Worshippers pale into insignificance. r\ CARELESSNESS���������SELFISHNESS���������ITS RESULTS. "i\ flaw, and a large knot, in a hemlock plank built into a ccaffold in Weston, Ont., sent three men to a sudden and awful death only a few days .ago. Only.alittle carlessnessjbut^yhen men's lives arc at stake such carelessness is criminal. A farmer near Toronto sent milk into the city which caused twelve cases of typhoid. He was notified of this fact and still he continued to send. It is time that men understood that the command "Thou shalt not kill" covers such cases as these. Repentance may bring pardon, but it cannot bring back the dead."���������The Guardian. CANADA FOR CANADIANS. "There must be a flabby Canadian sentiment in that part of Alberta where the Canadian patriotic songs have been suppressed in the schools in deference to the wishes of settlers from the United States. This is Canada. American settlers arc welcome here. But they expect too much when they ask of us to cease to inculcate Canadianism in the Public Schools."���������Sentinel. WASHINGTON.

ODLUM The papers and platform orators in the Old Land arc at the present time quoting Canada and Canadian statesmen in favor of and against Protection. Some think they sec in the actions of our politicians and in the newspaper effusions of this Dominion, room tor claiming that Canadians are opposed to a change from present conditions; and others imagine they can read the very opposite from our press and politicians. What is the historic evidence? It j Of course he and his party had argued is short and easily reached. About forty years ago Reciprocity was in force between Canada and the States. Almost without notice, the States broke the treaty and erected a high tariff wall between the two countries. This brought into force the National Policy of Canada. Sir John A. McDonald went into power on two rallying cries���������the National Policy which meant "Protection"-���������and secondly, the "AU Rail Route Across the Continent." These two principles were faToured and adopted by the country, and have been put into telling effect ever since. for Free Trade, and would now so do. if all the civilized nations were willing to adopt such policy.

SOME DONTS FOR MOTHERS. Don't permit the wild'demonstration.' of temper, the screaming and kicking which one sometimes���-in fact toe often���witnesses. They: demoralize both parent and child. They need never be if the very first demonstration is checked. Don't forget that a crowded shop is a poor place for children. If you must take them there teach "touch not, taste'not .handle not." Don't'expect "Yes, thank you, Mamma," or "No, I would rather not, please, Mamma," if you omit to use these small words yourself. Don't forget that the lessons which you learned at your mother's knee are still sweet and tender memories. History repeats itself. Don't frighten your children into obedience. The parent or nursemaid who would dare hold up "the bogy- man," the dark closet or the ashman as objects of terror to their children cannot be too harshly dealt with, for they may be destroying a fine mind. This may seem an exaggeration, but it is a fact. More than one child has been made a.: nervous wreck through fear7- X 'j::kk -.-.M -���/ 7 7; Don't fail to make companions of your children's school friends. Relive with your children the happiest of all days-r-school days. Don't f��t|l to enter with your young son and daughter the beautiful world to which they will so gladly make you welcome if you are worthy. Don't forget that you are their queen in a very enviable kingdom. Strive to realize your loyal subjects' ideals. Don't make religious observances a burden to your children. Remember it is difficult for them to regard these questions as you do. Let them grow to it. ; Don't engage in conversation with your bosom friends which would bring a blush to your cheeks were your children to overhear you. Believe them present in spirit at all times. - . I Don't show partiality to "your children. You have no idea how keenly this wounds; Don't'forget, that this has more than once been shown in school life, and that, the teacher who shows it is planting tares for you to uproot. ' Don't forget that the orderly child is a blessing to himself as well as /others.,- , | Don't forget that the wish that Is gratified by some self-sacrifice gains in value. Don't forget that one of dear Louisa Alcott's most beautiful memories was "Marmce's smile and farewell wave of the hand as we girls set forth upon, our daily occupations." Let somebody have the same memory of you. Don't forget that the average boy lives close to Nature's heart. Don't forget that your children are dally growing older, and that yesterday's attitude toward them may to-day seem belitteling to them. I.
