B.C.. SATURDAY, AUGUST 5. 1916\nPrice Five Cents\nThe Welch Leek Decorates\nLast Conservative Convention\nThe Plugging Conspiracy against the School Board Investigation and Vancouver\nPatronage Committee\nCOMMENT on the Conservative convention in Vancouver has been most instructive, It lias chiefly been\none of comparison. \"Behold our chaste\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand chas-\ntencd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"premier who threw all his influence into the scale\nfor a new convention in order to give those Conservatives\nwho criticised his policies an opportunity to choose new\nrepresentatives. Have the wicked, vote-stealing Liberals\ndone the same? Nay'. They fear such a convention. The\nmachine has selected the men to run and those men must;\nrun whether the Liberal party as a whole wants [hem or\nnot?\" That summarises the comment of the partisan. He\ncannot rid himself of his prejudices, lie reads into a convention which was necessary, a sermon which has no re-\nlatioii at all to facts, and ascribe.-, I i self-righteousness an\nattitude which was entirely due to the pressure oi circumstances. The Conservative convention was necessary in\norder to advertise the premier as the unanimously chosen\nleader, and also gel rid of one whose actions as head of\nthe Conservative patronage committee in Vancouver, and\npurchaser of supplies on the school board, had put the\nnobse round the neck of the Conservative party. It was\nabsolutely necessary to eliminate .Mr. Welch and send him\noff to England to lake up some other collection than thai\nof patronage. It was simplest to put in his place the Honorable Dentist McGuire, whose previous retirement had\nbeen an error in bridge work. Before the school hoard\ninquiry, the Conservatives probably had determined to drop\nMr. Thomas Duke, whose relations to the Traders' Trust\nconcern had been so keenly criticised by Judge Grant.\nBut, finally, it was considered that by throwing Welch\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdoverboard, it might be possible to get the grape juice representative into port.\nAPPLES OF DISCORD\nExactly why the Liberals should hold another convention because the Conservatives had to do so, is not clear.\nBoth the WORLD and the NEWS-ADVERTISER stated\nthat it was necessary to the Liberals' salvation to hold another convention. Apparently neither of these two organs\nof public opinion are satisfied with the present Liberal\ncandidates. They do not appear to realise that their dissatisfaction is understood by the man in the street to signify fear. Presumably they desire to throw apples of discord among the Liberals. That is the only opportunity\nthey have of counteracting the effect of the revelations of\nthe activities of the Conservative patronage committee,\nunder the aegis of Mr, Welch. They refer continually to\nthe plugging conspiracy as a reason for another convention. They ignore all the evidence in that conspiracy which\nimplicated the Conservative patronage committee through\nMr. Sullivan, just as much as it implicated Mr. Macdonald.\n'They have, in fact, fallen hack on thc plugging conspiracy\nas their last line of defence. If the Liberals can persuade\nJ. T. Scott to return it is probable that tlie truth, if he\never tells it, will disappoint a great many people. Probably\ntllat gentleman desires a price for his \"sensational\" disclosures. The Conservatives do not seem ready to pay\nthat price, and the Liberals have not got the money in any\ncase.\nTHE PATRONAGE COMMITTEE\nThese articles have already dealt fully w ith the plugging\nconspiracy, but it might be as well to repeat certain points\nwhich are utterly ignored by the partisan press. If one\nthing was proven at the inquiry, it was that Mr. Macdonald\nhad no ready money with which to pay his workers. The\nfact that he paid some small sums out to certain people\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwho appear to have been mixed up witli the plugging conspiracy was made much of, but that this fact proved he\nhad not much money was ignored. The Liberals have\nshown themselves quite ready to investigate the whole\nconspiracy, and in this connection it is advisable to distinguish between the Liberal party as led by Mr. Brewster,\nand the remnants of the old guard which is still trying to\ncontrol the destinies of the Liberal party, just as the old\nguard Conservatives are in control of the destinies of that\nparty. That guard is in control of patronage, and has\nruined the party and disgusted the sincere Conservative.\nIf tin- Conservative politicians \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd it is necessary also\nto distinguish between the politicians and the party\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd had been wise, they would have discarded the\nold guard, just as the Liberals hate been trying\nto do for a considerable period. There is no need to\nenter into personalities. The old guard of the Conservatives is, unfortunately, the nucleus of the party. It is the\npatronage committee. Just as the old guard of tlie Liberal\nparty revolved round the patronage committee, so does\nthe old guard 'Conservative revolve round the patronage\ncommittee of the party. Patronage killed the old Liberal\nparty and patronage, unless present indications are entirely\n-wrong, will kill the provincial Conservative party at the\ncoining elections.\n[THE PORK BARREL\nBut there are certain interests which, owing to the nature of their business and the doubtfulness of the result of\nthc elections, naturally desire to stand in the good\ngraces of both parties. These interests would contribute to\nthe campaign fund of both parties. But whereas there is\nonly one receptacle for campaign contributions in the Conservative party, namely, the patronage committee, in the\nLiberal, party there are two. The \"hi guard among the\nLiberals is, unfortunately, the only source of large funds,\noutside those which can be raised by ordinary individual\ncontributions. The office of J ihn T. Scott represented\nthe old guard, the office of the Vancouver Liberal Association, the new real Liberal party. Both worked for\nthe election of Mr. Macdonald. But the office under Scott\nhandled sums of money of which Mr. Anderson and others\nof the rank and file knew absolutely nothing. It is doubtful if Scott himself knows for certain where the money\noriginally came from. He knows who he got it from, and\nthe instructions he probably received with it. But whether\nthe whole sums contributed svent through that iffice, or\nwhether part of them were used for other purposes in\nconnection with tin campaign, i.- most probably unknown\nto Scotl himself. Mr. Macdonald has convinced everyone\nwho knows him personally that In- had nothing whatever,\nto do with the \"conspiracy.\"\nIS THIS THE TRUE STORY?\nProbably if Scott were to return In- night tell the true\nhistory of the plugging conspiracy in tllis wise. There\nwere about 1MI names of voters on tin- li-t wlm had crossed\nover to the American side, and were dwelling iu Seattle,\nBellingham ami other places along the Sound, Scott determined to try an-! locate those men. am! was given some\n$400 which was raised from various sources i ir ihc very\nlegitimate purpose of bringing these voters up on election\nday. Hut alter the money was raised, Scot! may have been\nunable to locate the men. It was then he either remembered, or was told that a certain Monti- White\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwhom\npossibly lie had known before\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwould In: able to locate\nthe men and see that they were here on election day.\nX',w Monty White is apparently a professor of the electioneering game, and may have scented not only the $400\nin Scott's hands but also a little work which might be\nwell paid for by other parties. So possibly he approached\nhis friend, John L. Sullivan, in Vancouver, with a scheme\nto make more than $400 out of the game. Alter all, it\nwould not be necessary to prove that each man brought\nup here was a legitimate voter, as the list of the 100 in\nScott's hands could bc passed as correct. If Scott could\nbe persuaded to leave everything to Monty White, that\ngentleman would see that the men were here. This would\naccount accurately for the evidence given at tlie investigation and also for the manner in which Mr. Macdonald was\ntricked like everyone else.\nPLAYING BOTH WAYS\nBut what happened after is not so clear. Did Monty\nWhite, scenting money on both sides, approach his friend,\nSullivan, as has been said. Did Sullivan go to his friends on\nthe Conservative patronage committee? He certainly appears to have done so. Here was a grcat opportunity. Monty White could lie recompensed for bringing up the men,\nand they could bc traced and all the evidence necessary\nto convict the Liberals of plugging gathered as it was given. It was proved at the investigation that the Conservatives knew all about the plugging, and tliat members of\nthe patronage committee such as ex-Alderman Hoskins\nwent down to see that they arrived alright. The police\ncould not act, as they evidently suspected a political trap,\nsaying as much when they stated they took no notice of\nany information coming from the Sullivan source. Was\nMont) U bite expected by Scott to bring u; legitimate\nvoters.and expected by Sullivan and his friends to liriny\nup pluggers? The pluggers themselves were told they\n[oing to i otc for the \"we( te as an addl\nement i\" 'in- fee of $10 for which they were\nlupposed t\" work. Whether Scotl would tell such a story\nor mil i- the purest surmise, bul thai story fits in with all\ntin idence, and what is more, accounts ior the willingness of the Liberals to bring back Scott and the reason\n- e premier refused to withdraw the warrant for\nScott's arrest. The premier did not know anything about\nthe source of the money which paid for the pluggers, but,\non the evidence given by Mr, Webb and others, he was\ntold about the pluggers. In what form was the story \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Id\nhim? Was In- told the truth, or was he, like everyone else,\nsimply in the hands of a professional political expert like\nMont) White. That the Conservatives paid for the expenses of Mr. Sullivan is known. But h iw much went to\nMonty White?\nA GENERAL MIX-UP\nAs has been said before in these columns, it would not\nbc at all surprising to find both Conservatives and Liberals were, unwittingly, more or less mixed up in the plugging conspiracy. Thai is, possibly, the only \"sensational\"\ndisclosure Mr. John T. Scott could mak,-. The NEWS-\nADVERTISER has almost daily, driblets about the plugging conspiracy, bin it carefully ignores the school board\ninvestigation, Mr. F. C. Wade in the SUN issued an un-\nusual challenge t i Mr. Bowser to go down to Seattle with\nhim and bring Scott back, if Mr. Bowser would promise\nto withdraw the warrant issued for that canny person.\nAt a recent Liberal executive meeting, hot words were\nexchanged on the subject, the majority of the official Liberals insisting oil Scott's return, while, curiously enough,\nMr. Wade appeared to oppose it. In any case, Mr. Bowser as attorney-general, has refused to give Scott immunity, and it looks to the ordinary man as if the Conservative machine was not over-anxious to have Scott back.\nluspected facts against Mr. Macdonald, the plunging con-\nspiracy ma) be written off the Liberal liabilities, The\npublic is not al al! convinced that Mr. Macdonald lias any\nknowledge of the affair h is no use i indulge in semi-\nmaudlin reflections day after day on cxactl* the ,aint\nlines against Mr. Macdonald, in the hop, that some mud\nwill realty -tick. Any student of psychology ran perceive\nthat the public is nol caught by thi* sort ol thing. It may\nappeal to the prejudices of a few bide bound partisans, but\nthose who carefully studied the evidence were loom convinced that most of it was extremely unreliable and were\ndisgusted that the expenses of such witnesses were paid,\npresumably out of the public fnnds. Moreover, the school\nboard inquiry with its revelations of discounts to tbe Conservative party and its patronage to Conservative members, countered the plugging conspiracy absolutely. The\nbarefaced manner iu which Messrs. Welch and Leek were\nshown to have acted in connection with the purchase ol\nsupplies, was sufficient. Premier Bowser's utter want of\ntact\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdto say the least of it\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdin packing off Mr. Welch to\nEngland to \"look after\" the soldiers' votes disgusted many\nof his most ardent supporters, They threw up their hands\nat that and \"quit cold.\" They may not vote Liberal, but\nthey will certainly not vote Conservative.\nTHE CONSERVATIVE TICKET\nThe Conservatives have made a gr\nconvention. Their ticket ,\\a- referred\nparty for ratification, amendment or\nthoroughly democratic process\" they\nhim- placed tlx-ir candidate\nthey represent the current\nj the party membership.\" li thi\nthe party, how was it that befor\ndesperate efforts were made to\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdal todo about tile\n\"back to the whole\nrejection. By this\nare supposed \"to\nOLD AGAINST NEW\nThe truth of the matter as far as the elections are concerned, is this. The Conservative party appears to consider it lias a chance to pull Mr. Bowser and the patronage\ncommittee he controls to victory if it can only fix the\nblame for the plugging conspiracy on Mr. Macdonald.\nThe Liberal party is anxious to get at the truth of the\naffair, no matter whom it implicates, so as to eliminate\nany guilty person from all connection with the party. For\nthat reason, by an almost unanimous decision, it read Mr.\nEyre. Scott's counsel, out of the party. Mr. Alex. Henderson and Mr. Wade hotly opposed this\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdbut neither of them I ma-v be doubted. Orangemen bel\nare candidates and their influence on the destinies of the\na position to know that\n1 considered judgment oi\nticket really represents\nthe convention was held\n tbtain other men I fill\nsome of iln- places? If, for instance, Dr. Procter could\nhave been prevailed upon to run. would the convention\nhave endorsed its present ticket? The fact is that the Conservative party as a while is anxious to sec whether Premier Bowser can carry liis \"ticket\" to victory. Very few\nof the party really believe he can. But they prefer to see\nthis ticket defeated and the \"old guard\" put out of business, to risking any chances in the future. If I'rcmier\nIlowser is defeated the \"ticket\" will go down to oblivion.\nIt is probable that Messrs. Tisdall and McGowan will survive. Mr. McGowan is popular and straightforward, and\nMr. Tisdall is honest. But beyond these two. is there any\nI chance of the citizens of Vancouver electing any of the\nothers? It is possible that what is known as the Orange\nvote will follow Messrs. Bowser and Duke, but even this\nng to both parties, and\nalthough Mr. Duke, is a leading member of that body, it\nparty is nil. They belong with some others, just as Mr. wou-d Probably be a mistake to imagine that the Orange-\nBowser and his patronage committee belong, to the old | '\"en as a body will solemnly vote for him, or anyone else\ntime political parties. The difference being that Mr. Bow-! f\"r that matter.

Messrs.\nbacked by nearly every independent. '(Thomas Duke and Waller Leek, are the nominees of the\nllvention, outside Messrs.

That biil alone should\nsettle Dr. McGuire. He used to have a name for independence, Tint failing the senate, he has returned to active\npolitical life as the prohibition representative. Mr. Bowser undoubtedly believes thc whole prohibition vote will be\nbehind Dr. McGuire. it is extremel) doubtful, Those\npeople who contributed so much a month to the :ampaigi\nfeel they have been swindled. When they discovered this\nsame ex-dentist drawing a salary of S300 a month as\n\"organiser,\" they made such a row that he gave up his\njob and Mr. Bowser promptly gave him the Ministry of\nEducation. A more pusillanimous distribution of patronage iias never been witnessed. Dr. McGuire may lie relied\nupon to follow his leader.\nCURRENT AND CONSIDERED JUDGMENT\nFinally, consider Messrs. Puke and Leek. Mr. Duke is\na member of the Conservative patronagi mmittee. It\nis .piiii- surprising that thc Conservatice convention did\nnot select either Messrs. Woodside or Hoskin, two 'ther\nmembers of that notorious camarilla, to take the plact so\nsuddenly vacated by Mr. Welch. Mr. Duke was also president of the Traders Trust Company, which persuaded a\nlady to invest a thousand dollars or so in a mortgage, and\ninstead of making such an investment, applied the money\nther purpose. The directors of the company had\nto some\nAf> IDEAL WORTH rillHTIMI FOB\nllritisii Culiinihln c.\\pcct\ufffd\ufffd every honest cltir.cn io come to her aid between now ami September 14, in the\nliuliv to kill tlie liliin! mounter of political patronage, in ivIionc slime Im cU-trloped\ngraft, bribery, thofi and fraud.\nto repay the money and Judge Grant's stinging reference\nto Mr. Duke should exclude him from any publicity for\nyears to come. But no\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdMr. Duke lias the \"nerv:\" to ask\nthe electorate to put him in another position of trust, presumably for his excellent work on the patronage committee.

Really it is an insult to the intelligence of the people of Vancouver to set such men as\nthese before the electorate and request its support. What\nwas it Mr. Leek's firm charged the school board? \"Two\nvalves, 6c: Cartage, $1.25; Total, Sl.31: 10 per cent, commission. 13c; Total, $1.42,\" or something of that sort.

In the same way, every temperance reformer\nis supposed to vote for a man who has taken an active part\nin any temperance campaign. That explains the selection\nof such men as the Hon. Dentist McGuire and Mr. Duke\non the Conservative ticket. It also explains why Premier\nBowser is confident he can carry his seat in Vancouver.\nSince he and the Dominion member, Mr. Stevens, made\nup their differences, the Orange vote is supposed to go\nsolid for them. Well, it may do; on the other hand, it\nmay not. Orangemen have tlieir convictions like other\npeople. They are not guided entirely by the politicians\nwho make so much capital out of being members of that\nbody. A little inside group of politicians will join the\nOrange lodges and become active members in order to\ngain, as they think, a certain political support. But more\nthan once they have been disappointed in that support. It\ndoes not respond to the crack of the official whip as easily\nas it used to do. The business community has been amazed\nat the sort of legislation thc Conservatives supinely allowed to pass at thc last session, and some of the Orange\nlodges have a good sprinkling of business men among\nthem. In brief, it is the professional politician who probably will be a sorely disappointed man after September\n14. The electorate demand men with some imagination,\nand especially men who are not bound to any particular\ngroup, and thus have independence.\nCLINGING TO OLD SHIBBOLETHS\nIt is true that a good many people ask whether the Liberals have any men who know anything of government.\n\"What experience have the Liberals?\" is generally asked.\nWell\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthey may have hardly any governmental experience,\nalthough Mr. Ralph Smith and Mr. Brewster and some\nothers have plenty of political experience. But we need\ncommon sense, not experience. The government of British\nColumbia is not such a terribly difficult task for any man\nof ordinary intelligence. It is difficult if every petty prejudice and every group or order has to he considered and\na hid made for its support. But that is exactly what the\nelectorate want to avoid. What the electorate wants is\nmen who have little knowledge of politics, but much of\nhonesty. It is politics, politics, politics which brngs\nabout patronage, and patronage is the canker which lies\nat the root of our troubles. When thc Conservatives, after\n\"current and considered judgment,\" as the NEWS-ADVERTISER puts it, choose such a ticket to put before\nthe electorate of Vancouver, they stamp themselves as\nutterly wanting in imagination. The official party clings\nto the old shibboleth of political management. This group\nor that group must be placated and members placed on the\nticket. It does not matter who those members are, what\ntheir record is, or what abilities they have. Their one recommendation is that they are supposed to \"swing\" a certain number of votes. Thc Liberal candidates do not represent any particular group of men. They may not be\nso well known in official circles as the Conservatives,\nbut, after all. seeing that thc Conservatives have held the\nreins of government for so long, how can any other men\nhave experience? Tliat argument would leave the house\nThis remarkable legislation, brought forth for the purposes of political expediency, places no limit on the amount\nof liquor which may he ordered at \"lie time, ll makes no\nstipulation as to the frequency with which orders may\nlie placed. It makes no provision whatever for government knowledge or regulation of thc shipments.\nUnder such conditions, the reader is asked to judge for\nhimself whether the \"Prohibition Act\" does not provide\nfor all the liiptor thc citizens of British Columbia want\ncoming into the province, without let or hindrance, regulation or control by the authorities.\nIs sucn a condition for the best interests of the pro\nvince? Is it wise In throw overboard the license laws\nnow prevailing in British Columbia, under which ther\nhas been built up a hotel system of the highest staudard-\nto give up the right of strict regulation and control now\nexercised in general by the province and in particular by\nthe local license commissions and to substitute for this\ntried plan legislation which allows liquor to come into the\nprovince by importation just as freely as il is now distributed but without government regulation or control to\nthe slightest degree?\nWhich is best for British Columbia\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthe regulation and\ncontrol of the liquor traffic by the provincial and municipal\nauthorities through the existing license system or the policy of unlimited, unrestricted and unregulated importation\nof liipior, with absolutely no general or local control, as\nis proposed by tlie B. C. \"Prohibition Act?\"\n* * *\nIn place of the present method of selling liquor under\ngovernment license (carrying with it the right of the authorities to regulate and control the business as well as\namend these regulations according to existing conditions),\nthis act would arrange it so that liquor might be imported\nin unlimited quantity, orders being placed as frequently\nas the purchaser tlesires, without the least control or regulation by the government\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdso long as the orders are placed\noutside the province. It means, for the sake of illustration,\nthat it would be legal for a man in Vancouver to place a\nstanding order with any liquor dealer outside of British\nColumbia for a daily, weekly or monthly supply of liquor,\nthe shipments being made regularly according to the order\njust as long as a monthly account for the purchase was\nmet. Because the Bowser liquor act will not prohibit the\nsale and use of liquor in British Columbia. THE STANDARD, representing many sincere prohibitionists, refuses\nto advocate support of the measure. While cutting off\nthe right to sell liquor hy the glass, the act encourages the\nsystem of buying liquor by the bottle and by the barrel.\nWhile making it a crime for a regular hotelman to sell the\nstuff over his bar, this act says that any man in almost ally\nline of business but the hotel business may slop out booze\nwholesale.\nUnless it is designed here to provide new business for\nexpress and cartage companies and for the mail order\nhouses, we do not see why it would not be just as well to\nallow the traffic to be carried on under the present system.\n* * *\nSo far as the whole question of prohibition' is concerned,\nthere is only one remedy and that is the stopping of the\nsale and manufacture of liquor. British Columbia had it\nin her hands to wipe the traffic out in its entirety, but political expediency only demanded that the people should be\nfooled and hence the introduction of the act now before\nthe people. \ufffd\ufffd\nEverybody knows that until the sale of liquor is absolutely wiped out and its manufacture discontinued, that tig\nlaw will stop drunkenness. Nothing can stop drunkenness hut education.\nIt was not so long ago that the average statesman, the\nmajority of prominent men, in England, drank to excess.\nPitt was an outstanding British statesman, lie was a\ndrunkard, and Fox was a drunkard. To write a list of\nEngland's great men of a hundred years ago would be to\nprepare a list of famous drunkards. The same applied\niu thc United States. History tells us that Webster was\na drunkard. We haven't to go far back in Canadian history to find great men who were addicted to the bottle.\nToday the drunkard in public life is practically unknown\nin England, the United States or Canada. Xo legal pressure has been brought to bear upon thc prosperous drunkard. Indeed the British Columbia \"Prohibition Act\"\nwould allow all the prosperous drunkards to keep their\ncellars full of wine. The oldtime drunkard was not pestered by policemen, blue laws, political prohibition acts.\nlie could get all he wanted to drink whenever he wanted\nit.

The premier's paid henchmen on the\n\"Prohibition\" executive designed the act as we now have\nit. and it is thc plan of the Government to use it as a vehicle to carry the administration back to power.\nThe tenor of this remarkable piece of class legislation\nis throughout of a character to arouse the distrust of the\nelectorate in the premier and his minister of prohibition,\nthc Hon. Mr. McGuire, who had a salary of $300 a month\nfor helping to promote the bill\ufffd\ufffd\ufffda salary paid by the good\npeople of all parties who took an honest interest in the\nsupport of the Prohibition movement and contributed to\nits funds.\nSome idea of the sincerity of the premier in introducing\nthis measure may be gathered from the fact that he now\nendeavors to play both ends against the middle, to retain\nthe support of the liquor men on one hand, while on the\nother, deceiving the prohibition people into endorsing him.\nOn the Bowser tour through thc Kootenays, the left\nbower of his party was the purist, McGuire, there on every\nplatiorm to create the proper background that the prohibition people might he pleased; the right bower was Mr.\nH. B. Thompson, o{ Victoria, for years one of the powers\nbehind the throne of the government, and one of the merchants mst heavily interested in the whiskey business in\nBritish Columbia.\nnow left to self-indulgent fools or to those whose lives are\nmade dull by poverty or whose hearts have been broken\nand pocket books stolen by smooth sharks\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdto these, uii-\niorunalcly, alcohol affords the only escape from horrible\nnil)',tony.\nIt would perhaps he worth while for the advocates of\nthe British Columbia \"prohibition\" Pleasure to study the\ncauses which have practically eliminated drunkenness\nfrom the most intelligent classes of uii-n.\nEducation undoubtedly is the greatest factor.\nIn nearly all tllc public schools rfow, lhe evil effects of\nalcohol arc taught, not in a lackadaisical way with sentiment nr religious duty or Billy Sunday as a basis. They\nare taught as facts.\nFacts appeal to the mind and they persist in iheir effect\nin later life when moral suasion and religious appeals are\nforgotten.\nAs a matter of fact, drunkenness, like dirt, is mainly\nan accompaniment of poverty and a sad, hopeless life.\nFor the man or woman given to drinking, when the troubles of life are no longer to bc borne, some relief must bc\nhad. If we would make the lives of the people of British\nColumbia more comfortable, make good food more plentiful, spread education, afford protection to widows and\norphans from the fanged hypocrites who go about with\nswindling schemes, secure a good reliable set of policemen\nto protect the people and to watch government officers\nand politicians of the ilk of the men who have brought in\nthis \"prohibition\" measure\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdif we would do this and spread\neducation, we would solve many problems and incidentally\ncreate an atmosphere in which Mr. Barleycorn could not\nlive.\nOVERLOOKING PATRIOTIC FUNDS\nWE observe that in Vancouver and other constituencies a number of independent candidates have\nthrown their hats In the ring. Most of these chaps\nhave no more chance of election than did the independent\nwho ran last spring against Macdonald. Yet each, man\nwill put up a hundred dollars of a deposit, which in most\ncases is supplied by the machine, and this money will be\nforfeit. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nTHE FOLLY OF SATURDAY AFTERNOON\nCLOSING\nLAST Saturday the \"Makttra\" docked at Vancouver and\nthe \"Empress of Asia.\" Both great trans-Pacific\nliners carried a large passenger list.\nThere were more than 250 first-class passengers on the\n\"Asia,\" and as many in the second cabin.\nTrains from the East and South and Xorth, and the usual\ncoast boats drew into Vancouver last Saturday morning.\nThousands of strangers, then, were in the city, the majority of whom had concluded trans-continental or transoceanic journeys.\nAND VANCOUVER, WITH ITS CRAZY SATURDAY AFTERNOON CLOSING LAW, REFUSED\nTHESE STRANGERS THE RIGHT TO BUY A PAIR\nOE GLOVES IX THE CITY.\nIt is not surprising that one worthy lady at the Vancouver Hotel, who lives in Xew York, said to a reporter,\n\"My, what a quiet, restful place Vancouver is. None of\nthat horrid commercialism you see in other cities on this\ncontinent. Xo rushing for cars or rushing away from\nitttos in crossing the streets. The stores all closed up and\nnone of that vulgar effort to make profit!\"\nOne of the greatest errors we ever made was the passing of tint by-law to appease thc counter talent.\nWe have made our cities jokes in the eyes of the traveling public with our Saturday afternoon closing. Strangers\nfrom abroad who arrive here on Saturday now pass the\nport up as they would a country village. Wc extend no\ncourtesy to them whatsoever, refuse them every right and I\nprivilege which they would enjoy in neighboring cities.

It is a patriotic\nnecessity if nothing else. It behooves us also to he hospitable to the strangers within the gates. If there is outlaw more foolish and short-sighted than thc Saturday afternoon closing statute, it is the blue law which makes it a\ncrime to buy a postage stamp on the Sabbath.\nIt is to be hoped that the steamship companies will arrange their schedules so lhat no big vessels will dock at\nthis port any time between Saturday morning and Monday\nmorning. Our silly laws will, of course, he repealed when\nthe people get another chance to vote upon them. In the\nmeantime, we should pray the shipping interests to be\ngenerous to us and keep tourists and travelers away from\nVancouver on the week-end.\nCHINOOK\nBreezes of Indignation\nAnd Information\nIN VIEW ill-' the difficulties legitimate theatrical men\nare encountering in meeting overhead expenses and salaries, it doesn't seem fair on the part of the Prohibition:\nMovement to stage Billy Sunday in Vancouver.\n* * +\nBILLY SUNDAY'S LECTURES in Vancouver are not\nlikely to add one jot or one tittle to either the Red Cross\nor the Patriotic Funds,\n\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd *\nHOWEVER. |F BILLY saves a few of the politicians\nwho will appear mi the platform with him under the guise\nof prohibitionists, his visit will not have been made in vain.\n* * \ufffd\ufffd\nWE WOULD BE delighted to see Gibson and McGuire\nunder the influence of religion.\n* * *\nTHE LAST TIME McGuire was saved was tbe time the\nreal prohibition people put him on their payroll at $.VI0.0O\na month.\n\ufffd\ufffd * *\nIN VICTORIA.

Foster, one of the oldest and wisest men\nin Canadian public life, has stated lhat nearly all the evils\nconnected with Canadian politics are due to the patronage\nsystem. Those of us who live in Britisli Columbia, and\nthe Omineca riding in particular, must agree with Sir\nGeorge. Onr public morals have been sapped and the\npublic purse, drained by the parasites of thc patronage\nsystem.. In this riding probably one third of tin- male\npopulation is drawing down public money, and few, if any\nof them, are giving good value in return. This may be an\nastonishing statement but it is a regrettable fact, and the\nmore regretable because this waste and corruption is\nwholly unnecessary to the welfare of the country, the individual or even a political party. What has the patronage system done for Omineca? \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Omineca Herald.\n* * * '\nMUST DISMANTLE HELIGOLAND\nWhatever else she may be able to claim in the way of\nnaval trophies or naval achievements, Britain cannot afford\nto let Heligoland remain as a menace it is to her naval\nsupremacy. She never fortified it herself, and if she had\nsuspected the use to which it has been put, not even the\ncynically good-natured Marquis of Salisbury would have\nconsented to its conveyance to Germany. Britain has,\nin this as in other ways, suffered heavy penalties for her\nlack of suspiciousness. For this she may well be pardoned\non ethical grounds, but if she allows Germany to retain\nthe fortified naval base of Heligoland after the war she\nwill be running a risk that no nation with the power to\navoid it ought to run. The dismantling and destruction\nof the fortress of Heligoland should be one of the British\nconditions of peace.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdToronto Globe.\n* * *\nprisoners\ufffd\ufffd\ufffda Contrast\nAs Jane Anderson, an American writer, recalls in The\nLondon Chronicle, 1000 typhus patients, prisoners of war\nat Wittenberg, were abandoned by their German guards.\nTin- supplies for the hospital were passed in on a trolley,\nworked by winches, that there should be no contact between the prisoners and the outside world.

Rumors are beginning to float around and\nthey are perfectly justified considering the inaction of the Government and\ntheir failure to do anything more in this important matter than make a useless agreement with the International Nickel Trust insisting that the latter\nclose corporation will not supply nickel to Germany. An agreement of that\nkind, as wc have said, is useless and ineffective. So far as preventing nickel\nfrom getting to the enemy is concerned, it might as well have never been\nmade.\nEveryone realises the importance of controlling our nickel output at the\npresent time. Nickel is essential to the manufacture of munitions of war,,\nand Canada has a monopoly of ninety-nine per cent, of the output. The importance of taking even the most drastic measures to secure absolute control\nis not a matter of debate anywhere outside tbe Provincial Cabinet of Ontario,\nand the Cabinet of tbe Dominion. In these circles, where the power to deal\nwith the situation lies, there has been unpardonable delay and traitorous\nnegligence.\nThe people of Canada arc beginning to seek for a cause of tllis indifference mi the part of the Government and suggestions are being made which\nare ii\"t complimentary to the members of these governments. Some of these\ninsinuations have reached our ears, hut so far. we have not been able to verify\nor substantiate them. An investigation of tlie International Nickel Trust's-\nIi loks. however, might result in putting an end t.. the rumors. When ?. loyal\ncitizen of Canada sees tlic Government neglecting to do something which they\nshould not even require to he told tt. d... a wry natural suspicion arises within him tliat llie Government must be tinder some obligation to those whom\ntheir duty calls them to acl against. The difficulty tliis country had in getting\nrid of the Boss rifle was due to the fact that too many of tin- \"political pullers\"'\nhad an interest in the continued manufacture of tliat rifle. Financial interests . f certain individuals hail more weight with the Government than had\nthe pleas of the men who tried to defend their lives with it and found it inadequate for tliat purpose.\nFor all wi- know it may he the same with the Nickel Trust. The control of the nickel output is even more important to the successful prosecution of the war than was lhe discarding of the R.iss rifle, and in case the\nsame kind of interests are preventing lhe Hon. Hilly Hearst and Sir Robert\nBorden from taking the necessary actii n and tlu- only action that sane people\nai war would take, it would he well for the people of Canada to demand an\ninvestigation into the business of thc Nickel Trust. We ourselves, for instance would like, to see a list of the shareholders of that Company and a\nlist of those I,, whom the big divldfends are being paid. Thc result of a\nthorough probe, we believe, would give us a better idea of lhe reason why\nthe Government does nothing more effective than it has done to make dead\ncertain tliat no Canadian nickel can by any possible manner of means, reach\nthe enemy.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdJack Canuck.\nTHE BOYS YOU USED TO KNOW\nWhen you're busy, busy, busy, with the big affairs of life,\nAnd tired, tired, tired witli tlu- everlasting strife;\nWhen in spite of every effort you cannot play the game,\nAnd you feel there's something lacking, something that ymi cannot name.\nAnd you don't know what on earth to do. and tlon't know where to yo,\nllow'd you like to spend an hour with the boys you used to know?\nHow'd you like to close your office up and shut and lock the door,\nAnd pack your grip and take a trip to your old home town once more,\nAnd meet again your boyhood chums upon lhe old schoolgrnund,\nAnd iu the spreading elm tree's shade just rest and lie around.\nAnd call each other Jack and Jim, and Will and Fred and Joe,\nAnd live the old days over with the boys you used to know,\nAnd tell about thc fun you had at the games you used to play,'\n.

AUGUST 5, 1916\nTHE STANDARD\nFIVE\nThe Spy Who May Have Put 0$\nThe Great War\nThe Strange Case of Col. Albert Riddle, the Austrian Officer who\nWas Ordered to Slay Himself Because He Knew Too Much,\nand Obeyed the Order By Herbert George Macauley\nWould the preservation of the life\n( f an officer of the Austrian army on\nMay 26, 1913, have prevented the present devastating war iu Europe? And\nii the same man had lived would it\nhave precipitated a war at that time\nbetween Austria and Russia?\nThese questions may remain unanswered to the end of time, but there\nare students of history who do nol\nhesitate to give an affirmative reply lo\neach of the momentous queries.\nThe story of Colore! \\lliert Riddle\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthat is near enough to his real n tnie\nto make it clear to those who were\nwithin the inner circle and far enough\naway to protect the feelings of liis\ndescendants who are still living\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdis\none of the strangest in history. hi\nits way it takes its place with the\nMystery of the Mail in tlie Iron Mask,\nalthough in tile present case tliere was\nnever any question of the identity of\nthe victim or of the fact of his death.\nColonel Kiddle was connected with\nthe general staff of the Austrian\nEighth Army Corps, lie was one\nof the favorites of the Vienna\nc-.urt\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdyoung, handsome, attractive,\nand with a dash and go about him\nthat made him a general favorite. Ile\nhail won an enviable record and was\nconsidered an efficient officer in every\nsense of the term.\nPresently the time came when it\nwas desirable for Austria to learn\nsomething concerning the secrets of\n(he Russian army plans. Austria, like\nall other great countries in' Europe,\nhad any number of spies, but very\nfew of them were available for the\ncharacter of work which would be\nnecessary in order to learn the plans\noi the higher military officers of the\nRussian empire. 11 was in this emergency that Colonel Riddle was called upon, lie had a young soldier's\nlove of adventure and he eagerly volunteered for the delicate and difficult\ntask. He was well supplied with 1110-\nrey and authority and eventually went\nto St. Petersburg, where he posed as\na sort of military attache of the Austrian embassy. The social side of life\nin the Russian capital attracted him\nimmensely, and while he devoted part\nof his time to thc work for which he\nhad been assigned he nevertheless\nfound numerous opportunities for the\npleasant things of life.\nIndeed, so genial did he find his\nsurroundings that he had little or no\ndesire to return home. He became\nvery popular with the ladies ol\" the\nRussian court and participated in\nmany of the social events for which\nthat capital was noted at the time.\nBut everything has its cud, and\nfinally the day came when it was\ndeemed necessary for him to return\nto Vienna, lie reached Austria iu due\ntime and made a comprehensive report\nof his discoveries, a report that was\nconsidered acceptable by the higher\nofficers of thc Austrian army. After\nthat he retired to his home in Prague.\nBohemia. He had many friends there\nand indulged in what was regarded as\na well-earned rest. His activities\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdhis\nmilitary Activities\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwere suspended\nfor the time being, and this high-\ngrade spy enjoyed life witli more zest\nthan is granted to the ordinary or\n(commonplace person.\n\ufffd\ufffd * *\nBut suddenly and most unexpectedly came the report that Colonel Kiddle was suspected of treason to his\ncountry\nIle was summoned to Vienna to defend himself. Xow whether they were\ntrue 01 not has never been am! never\nwill be definitely determined. At all\nevents the military and social circles\ntif the gayest capital in the world were\nfilled with stories which were not\ncreditable to the fascinating and highly popular colonel. These stories, it\nmay be stated with surety, lost nothing in thc telling, and as they went\nfrom mouth to mouth they assumed\nproportions which represented Riddle\nas being one of tlie most marvellous\ndeceivers of his time.\nIn the meanwhile, the talk took on\na new twist. It was said that if\nColonel Riddle lived to be prosecuted\nfor treason, thc revelations at his\ntrial would make it impossible for\nAustria to maintain friendly relations\nwith Russia. The gossip said more\nthan that\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdit said that relations witii\nRussia would not only be broken, but\nthat the bonds between Austria and\none of her fully trusted allies would\nbe severely strained.\nAs a matter of fact, there is no telling to what extent Germany and\nAustria might have found reason to\nsuspect each other had Colonel Riddle\ngone on the stand and made the revelations which would have been necessary in order for him to defend himself against the charge of treason. He\nwas accused by persons unknown to\nhim of not only giving military secrets\nof Austria and Germany to Russia,\nbut also of having betrayed to Russia\nthe Russian officers who were selling\nRussia's military secrets to Austria\nam! Germany. Those who wen- acquainted with the man were vehement\niii denying his guilt of any such deal\niugs. At all events, one of tin- results\nof all this talk was that Ausiria am!\nGermany materially revised their\nplans for mobilizing tlieir forces along\nthe Russian frontier.\n-;. ,. *\nIn the meantime, while Colonel Riddle was in Vienna preparing for the\ncourt-martial, thc government had its\nagents ill Bohemia collecting evidence\nto be used againsl him. Two of the\nsecret service men who were in Prague hurst into his room for the purpose of securing any information thai\nmight he obtained there. At first il\n| looked as if they were to have tlieir\nlabor for iheir pains. Nothing out of\nthe ordinary was found. It was a soil\nof apartment tliat might be expected\nto belong to a comparatively wealthy\nand popular young man. There were\ntrophies from all parts of the world;\nsouvenirs of his stay at St. Petersburg\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdtliis. it must he remembered,\nwas before tlie days when the capital\nof Russia assumed the name of Petro-\ngrad\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand other interesting places.\nThere were numerous private letters,\nsome of them tender love missives.!\nFinally, the secret service men discovered a private desk in a corner of\nthe room which, when broken open,\ndisclosed a number of papers of an\nincriminating character. It was positively declared at the time that if certain of these papers ever became public, nothing could prevent a war between Austria and Russia.\nAnd here another curious twist is\nintroduced in this strangest of strange\nstories. It was asserted in a way that\ngave it the appearance of verity, that\nsome of the papers, had they come to\nlight, would have ruptured, if not entirely broken, the relations between\nAustria and Germany. The Austrian\nauthorities were seriously alarmed.\nThey could not contemplate a struggle between their own country and\ntheir German ally with equanimity.\nThe question was what to do under\nthese critical circumstances. One of\nthe first things was to take charge of\nall of the possessions of the unfortunate man. Everything was seized \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nnot only the official papers, hut private letters, tailors' bills, photographs\n.of all kinds, and all the other articles\nthat were found in the room. Tin-\npapers were not only seized) and\nsequestered, but the apartments wen-\nsealed, and that concluded thc first\nact in the tragic drama.\n* # *\nBut the most serious part of the\nbusiness was still to come Tin- papers were out of tlu- way; there was\nno documentary evidence in thc case,\nbut the man still remained, and what\nhe might say or do was the unknown\nquantity in the problem. Tlie strangest\npail of the queer affair was lhat in\nspite of all these charges and counter\ncharges against the fascinating colonel\nhe was still looked upon as a patriotic\nperson. It was assumed\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand probably with correctness\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthat while In-1\nhad been indiscreet and possibly\nblameworthy, he never really intended to betray his own country. But tllc\ncold facts remained, It was a condition and not a theory which confronted those in authority. Tlic court-\nmartial had been ordered. It was\nfixed for a certain day. If it look\nplace according to schedule, it might\nstrike the spark which would cause a\nterrific explosion in Europe. If it was\npostponed, how could the postponement be explained? And even if it\nwere, there would still remain the man\nwho had been indiscreet and! who\nmight be again.\nTt was at this stage of events that\nColonel Riddle, who was kept in strict\nconfinement, received a call from two\nof his fellow officers. They smoked\nand chatted, and the three even had a\nglass of wine together. All of the\nfacts were placed before him in an\norderly manner. He was shown that\nhe could not escape under any circumstances and that if he should live, the\nlife of the empire might be threatened. It was the existence of one or\nthe other. He was told, and he knew\nvery well, that any attempt to defend\nhimself would place Austria in the\nposition of having attempted to steal\nthe military secrets of Russia, and further, of being faithless to Germany.\nFinally, about midnight, they parted.\nand as the officers left the room one\nDiiiii,- I'iisliioi, tlcmailll.H ih;,I 'lil.-iil.-s Suit must lie in.-iili- niter the Illicit\nKnown tib'ove\nof them, with a significant gesture.\nhanded Colonel Kiddle a loaded revolver.\nThe next morning when iln guard\nmade his regular rounds, liis eyes met\na shocking sight. Colonel Riddle lay-\nprostrate on tile flour with a bullet\nwound in his forehead. Tlic weapon\nwith which tlie deed was committed\nlay hy his side.\n* * :!<\nThere was much regret, of course.\nThe highest officials of the Austrian\ncourt were heard to express sorrow\nat the untimely taking off of the popular young officer. His high standing, his unusual ability, ami his bright\nprospects for tlie future only made\nthe tragedy the sadder.\nA five-line cablegram told the story\nto America. It is doubtful if one person in a thousand either read ii or\npaid any attention to it. It was simply reported as the suicide of a sol-'\ndier who was about to he placed on\ntrial for treason. What could In- more\nnatural than that a man in tlic face of\nimpending disgrace\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdespecially when :\nhe had been a trusted officer\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdshould I\ntake his life? Such tilings had hap-j\npencil before. Why should il excite 1\nany comment?\nIn the early part of tile following\nmonth there were whispers concerning tlie real facts that lay behind the\ncurious story of Colonel Riddle's suicide. These facts came to light little\nhy little, and finally became a coher\nenl and connected story. Many friends\nof tllc dead soldier, win. knew thai In-\nhad acted as a spy In her interests,\nalso knew that he had become a mar\ntyr for the fatherland.\n(Im- of i'u results of the tragic affair was a reorganization of the en ,\ntire spy system of the Austrian army, i\nSecrets which had hitherto been\nknown to a score of men were now .\nconfined to a comparative few. Every\nman was placed under suspicion, and j\neven spies whose fidelity had never\nbeen questioned before were subjected to the closest scrutiny of other\nspies whose existence was unknown\nto them. At the same time, thc German secret service was reorganized\nand put in a position where thc likelihood of a betrayal of state secrets was\nexceedingly improbable. Even those\nwho were unwilling to believe that\nColonel Riddle had been guilty of\ntreason admitted that the looseness of\nthe Austrian spy system placed it\nwithin the power of many men to he-\ntray those for whom they were supposed to be working.\n\"The government.\" said one officer,\nalluding to the tragedy that had occurred, \"found it imperatively necessary to close the mouth of one of its\nown sons. I hope thc necessity for\nsuch a thing will never occur again.''\nGermany has never expressed itself\nofficially in this matter, but those\nwho know a thing or two .about military methods may be sure that the\nimportant officers in that country\nfully approved of the manner ill which\nthis unfortunate incident was handled.\nExperience has.proven that there is\nno way to-ktcp. military secrets, that\nthere is 11b' protection against the\n. weakness or cupidity of one's own\n\\ spies. Only \"lie man can bc trusted\nI with a mobilization plan, and that man\nj is the chief of the general staff. If\nJ he fails, it is madness to put him on\n[trial.

The ship\nput on steam. The thing increased its\nspeed correspondingly.\nCommander Farragut sent orders to\nllie engine room to put on all that\nthe boilers could hear. The frigate's\nmasts trembled to their stepping\nholes. \"Nineteen miles and three-\ntenths, sir!\" reported an officer Still\nthe creature kept ahead.\nThe forecastle gun was manned.\nThe firsl shot went over. The second\nstruck full\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdbut it bounded off the\nanimal's hack!\nAgain tllc chase was resumed. The\n\"Abraham Lincoln\" was driven to a\nspeed of 19 1-2 miles.

Among the scientists invited\nfor the voyage was Professor Pierre\nAronnax of the Museum of Paris.\nThe direct field of search \\vas the\nNorth Pacific, where the mysterious\nthing had last been seen. For many\nweeks the frigate cruised without anything to reward its watchful ship's\ncompany. Rut at last one night when\nthe quest was being abandoned, a\nvoice rang out: \"Thc thing! On our\nweather beam!\"\nThere it swam, an immense oval\nform, very much elongated, with a\nradiance shining from il, Straight at\nthe frigate it darted. \"Up with the\nhelm!\" cried thc captain.

It was within a\nhundred feet of the thing. A har-\npooner, crouched' under the bowsprit,\ncast his weapon mightily. It struck\nwith a sonorous clang and rebounded.\nInstantly two enormous spouts of\nwater rose from the object and flooded the ship's deck.\nA tremendous shock followed almost at once, even as the deluge swept\nthe deck, overthrowing men and gear.\nProfessor Arronax found himself\nfloundering in the sea, and to his horror saw the frigate moving away on\nan eccentric course.\nHe was clutched suddenly and supported. It Was his servant who had\njumped overboard for him. The faithful fellow told him that the ship's rudder had been struck and smashed by\nthe monster.\nThey tried to swim after the ship,\nhut the vessel disappeared. Toward\nmorning, just as the professor was\nsinking, his servant cried out in amazement antl terror. The next moment Arronax was dragged against\nsomething hard, a rough fist seized\nhim, and he was lifted out of the sea.\nHis astonished eyes saw the frigate's harpooner, Xed Land. \"Wc are\non the top of the monster!\" said the\nharpooner. \"I have found out why\nmy weapon would not enter it.\"\nThe professor stared about him.\nThey were crouched on a big, oval,\nrounded back, astonishingly like the\nback of a whale. But this was not a\nwhale's back, nor was it thc shell armor of sea-turtles. It was black,\nsmooth, without scales. Another look\nand thc professor saw riveted plates.\nThe monster that had puzzled the\nworld was simply a human construction!\nengines which propelled it, stored air\nfor it, and served every other purpose\nthat men could need to live. He explained to them his own inventions\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nthe manometer, which gave the navigators the exact depth to which the\nvessel was submerged; the electric\nspeed indicator; the compression\npumps for storing compressed air; the\nsmall boat which was carried in a\nwater-tight cavity on deck; and the\napparatus for extracting the chloride\nof sodium and other chemicals from\nthe sea to produce stored electricity.\nElectricity did the cooking, and it\ndistilled sea water to make it drinkable. The engine room, 65 feet long,\nwas fitted with Biinsen's coils.\nIn the course of time Captain Xemo\ntold Professor Arronnax that, when\ncompletely immersed, thc \"N'atilus\"\ndisplaced 1,500 tons. \"The reservoirs\nare in the lower part,\" explained the\ncommander. \"We can fill them by\nturning taps, and thus sink the vessel\nas wc desire. There are also two deflecting planes, one on each side, that\nserve as rudders to steer the boat upward or downward.\"\n\"But how did you succeed in constructing this wonderful ship so secretly?\" asked the professor.\n\"Each part was ordered in a different place,\" was the answer. \"The keel\nwas forged at Creusot, France. The\nscrew shaft was made in London, the\nplates for the hull in Liverpool, the\nscrew in Glasgow, the engine by\nKrttpp in Prussia, the beak of the ship\nin Sweden, and the mathematical instruments in Xew York. These parts\nwere all assembled on a lonely island\nin a distant ocean by myself and the\nmen who are with mc now.\"\nThe prisoners in the strange ship\nsaw the wonMers of the deep sea unknown to men. They witnessed Homeric battles between whale's and killers, they saw in vast depths the hid\neous, unearthly monster devil-fish,\nthey fought giant squids, sharks and\nmammonth sea-spiders. Twenty thousand leagues they journeyed with their\nmysterious host, before they found an\nopportunity to escape.\nIt was off the coast of Xorwaj\nwhen they succeeded in detaching the\nsmall boat from the \"N'atilus\" arc*\nmaking shore. Their last sight of tbe\nwierd ship was as it struggled with\nall the strength of its enormously\npowerful engines against thc Maelstrom, that dreaded sea whirlpool between the Ferroe and I.ofoden Islands. \\\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdm\n(Perhaps no more refttarkablc fore\ncast of a future scientific achievement\nhas been made than this prediction by\nJules Verne of a ship to move at will\nunder water. He describes the \"N'atilus\" as 232 feet long and 26 feet beam,\nwhich is very close to the average\nsizes of the modern submarine. The\nnew fleet-submarines of the United\nStates navy are to he only little longer, tlieir projected length being 2t>51\nfeet and their displacement 1.000 tons.\nIn another part of this story (which |\nis full of minute details) he gives the\ncost of the \"N'atilus\" as $735,000\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdnot\nfar from the cost of a sea-going sub-\ninaiine as estimated by tllc American\nnaval authorities today.

Arthur Graham Gray, C.\nE. F\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd of Toronto. There were no invited guests, but the church was\ncrowded with girl friends and relatives of the bride, who is very well\nknow in Victoria and Vancouver.\nThe ceremony was performed by\nRev. Robert Hughes, of Esquimalt\nMethodist church, assisted by Rev.\nC. E. Bland, of Edmonton. The decorations were particularly beautiful.\nShasta daisies, palms aud ferns banking the whole rim of the pulpit, and\nalmost concealing the organ loft.\nWhile the congregation was gathering the organist, E. Parsons, played\nthe \"Corn Joyeuse,\" by Marks, and\nbefore the ceremony commenced Miss\nCharlotte Spencer, a sister of the\nbride, rendered very beautifully Haydn\nWood's \"God Make Thee Mine.\"\nThe bride, walking beside her father,\nwho gave her away, passed down the\nmain aisle of the church to the accompaniment of the bridal chorus\nfrom Lohengrin played by the organist. During the ceremony she knelt\non a white satin cushion, and was\ngreatly admired in her exquisite dress\nof white Georgette crepe made with\na very full skirt and vogue bodice,\nher veil of Brussels net made in the\npretty Italian style and edged with\ndeep rose point lace, falling in soft\nfolds round her shoulders. Orange\nblossoms were in thc cap and in thc\ncorsage of her dress, and sprigs of\nthe same snowy flower decorated the\nveil and looped up the skirt here and\nthere. The bouquet was of Madronna\nlilies and white heather, and as an\nonly ornament) she wore a cameo\nbrooch, the gift of the bridegroom.\nThere were no attendants. Mrs.\nSpencer, the mother of the bride, was\nhandsomely costumed in mauve satin.\nWhile the bridal party were in the\nvestry signing the register, and as\nthey left the church the organist played the Mendelssohn Wedding March.\nAt the church doors the bride and\nbridegroom were pelted with rose-\npetals by girl friends of the former\nwho stood at either side of the steps\nwith baskets of fragrant blossoms. At\nthe home of the bride's parents, Moss\nstreet, a family wedding breakfast was\nserved, only immediate relatives being\npresent. Tlie reception rooms were\nbeautiful with garden blooms, j sweet\npeas being the principal flower used.\nThe honeymoon is being spent motoring through the island, and in a\nfew days Lieut, and Mrs. Gray will\nleave for the east, where their home\nwill be until the departure of the former with his unit.

He\ndescribes, for instance, walking out\none afternoon from a small provincial\ntown where the annual meeting of the\ncounty council for the district was being held, with a Russian friend. ''Just\nas we had reached the outskirts of the\ntown,\" he says, \"and we looked round\non the landscape, we both said, simultaneously, 'What a typical Russian\nscene!'\"\n\"It was an autumn day in late October. The sky was cloudless and of a\nlight transparent blue, clear and dazzling. So clear was the atmosphere\nthat the distant features of the landscape were as distinct as they are in\na kodak photograph. The view had\nthe sharpness of a photograph. We\nwere standing on a wooden bridge\nwhich stretched over ri narrow and\nutterly sluggish brown river; the\nbanks were of shelving sand, aud you\nhad to go down some wooden steps\nto reach the bridge on one side and\nto go up some wooden steps to reach\nthe farther side. On one side of the\nriver, and about thirty yards from it,\nwas the town, standing on level\nground; on the other side, of it the\nlevel country stretched out into the\ndistance, a flat, dark-brown plain, cut\nby a road.\n\"What you saw of the town was,\non the right,\nfourth biggest\nwas Palladian, I suppose, that is to\nsay, it had a front of five large Corinthian pillars supporting a pediment,\nand a dome; walls, dome, and pillars\nwere all whitewashed. A little further to the left of it and beyond it\nwas another church, which had a\nwhite spire and a round cupola painted ultramarine-blue. Round the\nchurch was an open space, and then\nalong the river began the line of\nhouses which formed the limit of the\ntown.

All these agencies know\nthat they must cater to the women,\nand accordingly they invariably run\n\"household hints,\" which, of course,\ninclude instruction in conduct. A few\nweeks ago, there appeared, under the\nheading, \"About the House,\" in many\nof the village papers a half column\nof \"Etiquette of the Table.\" It would\nbe interesting to know how it came\nto be printed, or whether someone\nsupplied it as a joke, but most of it is\nworth quoting.
