No. 29.\nTenth Year\nS OTHERS SEE US\u2014In its issue\nof July 20th The Week ventured a\nlittle criticism of the Victoria\nIrd of Trade, describing it as \"in many\nlects an admirable, but admittedly a\njilized institution, having a few active\n(enterprising members, but in the main\njsed to activity and energy, and work-\n3ff what little vitality it has in volum-\nreports ancl pious resolutions.\" For\n.The Week was criticized by several\n\u25a0ig business men in the city, who\nljht that such an attitude was calcu-\n,to bring discredit upon Victoria and\nver our institutions in the estimate of\nijers. The Week received its vindica-\nmuch more quickly and much more\n|vely than it expected, for in the Col-\n}f yesterday Mr. G. T. Somers, Pre-\nof the Toronto Board of Trade,\nlent of the Sterling Bank of Canada\npresident of the Crown Life Insurance\nany, said that \"what was chiefly needle was aggressive action on the part\nBoard of Trade, a dozen hustlers\nle hold of the vital questions affecting\ntown would produce wonderful re-\nThe Colonist thought so well of this\nlent of Mr. Somers' that it wrote a\nolumn editorial on the subject, and\npromised to \"look into the matter\nee if he may not be right.\" Surely\nIhing will now be clone about it. All\n|Week wishes to add is that while\nis a visitor like Mr. Somers could\nbe expected to offer detailed criti-\nf the Board, it is perfectly clear to\n[i-lookers tliat he has promptly disci its great weakness. From per-\nexperience The Week would supple-\nhis remarks ancl say that there must\nhing wrong with an organization\nenting the business wealth of the city,\nit is almost impossible to get a quorum\nend its meetings. That \"something\"\nilerance of new comers; ancl monopoly\ntime ancl interest of the Board by a\noquacious members who invariably\npeople away before the end of the\nng. The Board is not taken sufficient-\n0 the confidence of its Council.

As it is,\n[oard leaves its business to the Council\nhe Council leaves it to the President,\nPresident and Secretary. No organ-\nn can be called \"alive\" which is not in\nint touch with its work. In the\nk referred to The Week pointed out\nil matters of extreme importance\nany \"live\" Board of Trade would\n[taken up at once, such as the incom-\nliisible conduct of Mr. H. S. Patter-\nf the Winnipeg Grain Exchange who\ndown Victoria as a grain shipping\nafter representing to the Board of\nthat it was an ideal port. Then noth-\nit one of the so-called \"pious resolu-\nhas resulted from the suggestion of\nT.

In the late\nent, Mr. H. G. Wilson, and the new\nent, Mr. J. J. Shallcross, the Board\nen served by two of the ablest and\n^energetic business men in Victoria,\n,ey will not be able to achieve their\nind to give Victoria the position to\nit is entitled unless they thoroughly\nianize what is undoubtedly a fossil-\nImcl bids fair to become a moribund,\ntion.\nA WHITE CANADA\u2014On Thursday\nlast a deputation of working-men\npaid a visit to The Week office, to\ncomplain that they had been discharged\nfrom city employment; that they represented two gangs who had been employed\non grading sidewalks; that they were unable to get work, and that they dreaded\nthe approach of next winter because they\nsaw no prospect before them. They did\nnot complain that the sidewalk grading had\ncome to an end, but they did think that\nbeing Britishers they might have been put\nto other work, especially as most of them\nwere married men with wives ancl families\nto support. The Week has seen this\ntrouble coming for a long time. There are\nhundreds of labouring men in Victoria who\nshould not be here. It is not in a spirit\nof unfair discrimination but for the protection of the community ancl of working-\nmen of our own race that The Week points\nout that many of these belong to races\nwhich have no real respect for our laws\nand which are naturally inclined, not only\nto make trouble wherever they go, but to\nkeep the police busy. Their presence was\nnot felt so much while there was plenty of\nwork for all, but in the \"fall\" the bulk of\nthe city work will have been finished, and\nwe shall have on our hands hundreds of\nmen brought here by American contractors,\nor by the Canadian agents of American\ncontractors, men who have no claim on us\nand who, because they are so numerous ancl\ninfluential will oust our own men from\nmost of the jobs that will be available during the winter months. It may be an unpopular thing to say, but The Week does\nsay after sober thought that there will be\nmore privation this winter than has ever\nbeen known here before. This might have\nbeen prevented if we had more carefully\nguarded our portals; if some of our labour\norganizations had not been delivered over\nto Socialists and professional agitators, and\nif the authorities had had the wisdom ancl\nthe courage to turn back at the landing-\nstage every known member of the I. W. W.\nwho sought admission to Victoria. It is too\nlate now to shut the door, but The Week-\nappeals to the Mayor and Council to exercise some authority in this matter and\nto insist that such work as is available shall\nbe given to men of our own race and that\nthey shall not be deposed to make room for\nDagos, Slavs and others who at present\nseem to be most in favour ancl to enjoy a\nmonopoly of whatever work is available.\nIn urging the Mayor ancl Council to exercise tlieir authority in this matter, The\nWeek is not unmindful of thc fact that the\npolicy of the Council has been very clearly\nlaid clown and instructions given to the\nvarious Departments that workmen of British origin should have a preference. All it\nasks is that this very wise policy shall be\nenforced to the fullest possible extent and\nalso that pressure shall be brought to bear\nupon contractors to the same end. The\nsituation furnishes a grave comment on the\nunwisdom of letting any considerable\namount of city work by contract and\nthereby losing direct control of labour employment.\nUNFAIR DISCRIMINATION\u2014\nThere is an old proverb which runs\n\"What's sauce for the goose is\nsauce for the gander.\" Like many proverbs, this is not a truth, but a euphemism.\nIn the Victoria press of July 29th is a\nlengthy and detailed account of a raid made\nby several detectives under Sergeant\nO'Leary on a house at 539 Dunedin Street.\nThe raid took place on Saturday night last\nancl three young men and two women were\narrested ancl subsequently charged at the\nCity Police Station with being inmates of\na disorderly house. The woman who kept\nthe house was fined $50; the woman who\nwas an inmate was fined $25, ancl the newspaper report laconically remarks, \"The\nnames of the young men were not called,\ndespite an undertaking by the Police Commissioners to the Citizens' League that in\nevery instance of the kind all inmates were\nto be charged ancl prosecuted.\" The Week-\ndoes not hesitate to say that the persons\nresponsible for compounding this felony.\nand it is a felony, should be made to\nanswer for it. There is no sense of justice\nor fair play, and it is difficult to see how\nthe authorities can expect to secure the respect of the public and to exert any influence over law-breakers, when they exercise\nsuch unjust discrimination. The subject is\na big one and much might be said on it,\nbut when all is said ancl clone, the persons\nwho authorized the police to allow the men\nto go and to prosequte the unfortunate\nwomen only were themselves guilty of\nbreaking the law which it is their duty to\nadminister. The fact that a promise had\nbeen made to the Citizens' League has nothing to do with the matter. It may show\nup their conduct in a worse light, and it\nmay also illustrate the extreme difficulty of\nsecuring any full ancl just enforcement of\nthe law against prostitution, but that is all.\nUnless The Week is misinformed, more\nwill be heard of this matter. It is sadly\nat variance with what the public had a right\nto expect, ancl is too serious to be allowed\nto pass. It is not a little significant that\nthe very next day a man was prosecuted\nfor being a frequenter of a disorderly\nhouse, convicted ancl fined. He also enjoyed the added distinction of having his\nname published. But then he was a\nstranger, so they ran him in.\nLAWN TENNIS\u2014Victoria has had a\nplethora of lawn tennis during the\npresent week. It has entertained\nmore than a hundred expert players who\nhave competed in the North Pacific Coast\nand the British Columbia Championship\nseries. The weather has been favourable;\nthe public appreciative, and the beautiful\ngrounds on the Cadboro Bay Road have\npresented a scene of activity, brightness and\ncolour which it would be hard to match in\nany other city in the Dominion. Nine\ncourts were constantly in use, and the Committee managed the Tournament so well\nthat there was no friction ancl no delay.\nA fair general comment on the festival is\nthat tennis is becoming more popular here\nevery year; that the number of players\nancl spectators is increasing, and that the\nspacious grounds whicii havc recently been\nenlarged by three courts, will soon prove\ntoo small for tournament purposes. Of the\nquality of the play much might be said.\nIts all-round excellence shows a inarked\nadvance on that of any previous tournament. As a rule there have been three or\nfour star players and then a wide gap.\nThis year there have been ten or a dozen\nmen nearly top-notchers, and it would bc\nimpossible even now to place them in order\nof merit with any degree of posiliveness.\nNever has there been a better single played\nin Victoria than the Final in the International Championship between Schwengers\nancl Tyler. The popular American player\nextended the champion to the full limit and\nat one stage had the match entirely at his\nmercy with an easy stroke to play. No\nbetter Doubles have ever been seen in\nBritish Columbia than those in which Evans\nand Jukes of Vancouver ancl Fottrell ancl\nJohnson of San Francisco figured, while\nTyler and Brain were only a little behind\nthem. The opening sett of the Semi-final\nbetween Tyler and Brain and Fottrell and\nJohnson, in which the games ran 13\u201415,\nwas one of the most brilliant and closest\ncompetitions imaginable. The other first-\nclass players such as Captain Foulkes,\nWickersham, Fulton, Cardinal and Stone,\nadded greatly to the interest. Indeed, not\na few good judges thought that if Stone\nhad been in condition, hc would have been\nequal to any player on the courts, with thc\npossible exception of the two champions.\nWhile there was a large number of first\nclass lady players, it could hardly be said\nthat there were any stars. Miss May Sutton was available and would have imparted\nan element of interest, but, unless she could\nhave been accompanied by a Californian\nplayer of the same calibre, the Committee\nwould not have been justified in concluding arrangements, and their decision tinder\nthe circumstances was generally applauded.\nOn the whole the Tournament must be regarded as an unqualified success, reflecting\nthe highest possible credit on the Committee\n. of Management and especially on the courteous ancl efficient Secretary.\nA STORY WITHOUT COMMENT\n\u2014A few clays ago a young woman\nabout twenty years of age, who had\nbeen under medical treatment for some\ntime developed a mild form of insanity and\nher removal to New Westminster was recommended by the doctor. She was perfectly harmless, very gentle ancl had\nevinced no indications of violence; indeed,\nher dementia was hardly observable. It was\nexplained to her that she was going to the\nMainland for a visit, accompanied by her\nnurse. Arrangements were made with the\nauthorities. A little later the Police Patrol ! drove up to the house; the patient\nwas driven to the police station ! and a\nman. properly described as a \"violent\nlunatic,\" in charge of two policemen was\nplaced beside her in the same patrol. Together they were driven to the clock, when\nit was discovered that a mistake had been\nmade as to the time of sailing ancl the sensitive woman ancl the violent lunatic were\ndriven back to the police station. During\nthe whole of the journey to and from the\ndock the violent lunatic was howling and\nswearing and had to be restrained by physical force. From the police station the\npoor woman was driven back to her home\nand later on when the correct time for the\nsailing of the boat had been ascertained a\nmotor-car was sent for her. On arriving\nat home the woman who had been as nearly\nsane as possible, and who had no idea that\nshe was to be taken to an asylum, was in a\nstate of utter prostration and was with\ndifficulty saved from a series of fits. This\nall happened in Victoria, the Capital City\nof British Columbia, in thc year of grace\n1912, but nothing has been said about it in\nthe daily press.\nTHE B. C. NAVY LEAGUE\u2014At a\nrepresentative meeting held in Victoria on Tuesday night the various\nbranches of the Navy League iu liiilish\nColumbia were federated into one central\norganization. This was the logical outcome\nof the work carried on by the branches during the last seven years. Face to face with\nImperial problems thc matter of a general\npolicy had to bc dealt with, and this will\nconstitute the chief responsibility of the\nnew federation. The branches will maintain their independence in all local matters.\nIt was fitting that Mr. Clive Phillipps\nWolley, who has attained world-wide distinction for his services in connection with\nthe Navy League Movement and who has\njust received the Distinguished Service\nDecoration from the parent organization\nin London, should have been appointed the\nfirst President; it was a very proper recognition of invaluable and disinterested services. The new organization will have to\ndeal promptly with matters of importance,\nthe\" first being thc disposition of the\n\"Egeria.\" Government aid is to be sought\nancl will no doubt be afforded, and in a\nshort time we may hope to hear that the\nnucleus of a real Canadian Navy has been\nformed in British Columbia. It may be\nbut a small beginning; it will, however, be\na profitable one.\n(Continued on Payc 12) THE WEEK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 3, 1912\nI am very pleased to see that my\nremarks about the necessity for a\npublic clock and my comments on the\nneglected condition of the old Challoner & Mitchell clock have already\nborne fruit, and our enterprising\ntownsman, Mr. W. H. Wilkerson, has\nobtained permission from the Council\nto erect a standard and clock on the\nsidewalk opposite his store. I am\nsure that in a modest way this will\nbe one of the most appreciated boons\never conferred upon the city. The old\nclock was a land-mark, to which the\neyes of thousands of people were\nturned every day, and many of them\nmany times a day. Few of us think\nof a clock as anything but as an indicator of time; we are either too\nbusy or too unimaginative to reflect\non the extent to which our actions\nare regulated by a reference to the\nclock face. It is the clock which announces that the time is approaching\nor has arrived when that important\nbusiness engagement is due; when\nthat big real estate deal is to be put\nthrough; when that boat will arrive\nwith a friend on board, or when I am\ndue at the Empress Palm Room for\nan afternoon rehdez-vous and a cup of\ntea. My heart fails me when I think\nof the anxious ones who have waited\nwith sinking heart for the \"laggard\"\nall because Challoner & Mitchell's\nclock no longer points the way. This\nwill be remedied, to the great benefit\nof the community, and to the rehabilitation of many reputations. So I for\notie, will congratulate Mr. Wilkerson\non realizing an opportunity to become\na public benefactor in the most practical and gratifying manner.\n* * *\nThe English newspapers know\nwhat the \"silly season\" is. It comes\nround once a year, when there is a\nlull in general newspaper news and\nelderly gentleman of leisure, and\nsometimes elderly ladies, write about\nbig gooseberries, sea serpents, the\nbest age at which to marry, how to\nmake domestic service popular, and\nother kindred subjects of an impracticable nature. I did not know that\nwe had a \"silly season\" in Canada,\nbut judging from the tenor of some\nof the correspondence which has been\nfinding its way into the Victoria and\nVancouver papers recently, 1 am beginning to think that the Dominion\nis in the fashion. The subject which\nseems to vex some of our prudish parents and incurious spinsters is that of\nmixed bathing and abbreviated bathing dresses. One of the former complains that he cannot pick his way\nhe describes as being too scanty in\nthe quantity of material used and\nwhich fit all too soon. A dear spinster who retired to the solitude of\nCordova Bay for the purpose of knitting and crotchcting, strongly objects to an involuntary study of thc\nlord of creation in a suit which\nshrinks when it is wet. This complaint suggests several questions.\nFirst of all, why did the spinster select one of the few popular bathing-\nplaces to do her daily stunt? As a\nrule when people go to a picture gallery, they expect to see pictures, and\nmost people who go to a bathing\nplace expect to see bathers. The\ncomplaining spinster of Cordova Bay\ndoes not say just how much bather\nshe is willing to see without register\ning a complaint, but she does demand\nthat all male bathers shall wear \"unshrinkable\" bathing suits. With the\nproverbial inconsequence and lack of\nlogic, for whicii her sex is so famous\nshe does not tell the poor male bather\nwhere he can procure a suit which\nwill not shrink when wet, and which\nwill not clin^ to him when he emerges\nfrom the sea. \"Spinster\" looks at one\nside of the question only; she. expresses no sympathy for the poor\nsailor man who, according to the\nnewspaper stories of the season about\nwhich we are writing, has many many\na time been compelled to gaze upon\na mermaid, even less scantily clad\nthan the male bathers of Cordova\nBay. Really I am afraid there is no\nexpectation of the poor bather being\nable to procure his non-shrinkable\nsuit, unless \"Spinster\" is willing to\nknit one, and even then to be satisfactory it would have to be a \"union\"\nsuit.\n* * *\nMrs. Stevens has my sympathy, and\nI think will secure the sympathy of\nall my readers when they read the\nparagraph at the foot of this article\nwhich I cut from the Colonist of\nJuly 30th. There is a subtle humour\nabout the statement which forbids\ncomment; at any rate, my sense of\ndelicacy forbids me to comment on\nthe genealogy of the Somas Queen.\"\nBeyond asking my readers to scan\nthe account of an interesting public\nceremony, I can only say that I would\nnot have expected Mrs. Stevens to\n\"slide down the ways into the water\"\nin any other than a \"graceful\" manner. It is always customary to select ladies for these launching ceremonies, who can slide down the ways\n\"gracefully.\" It is the first consideration, and therefore it would appear\nto Lounger that the statement is\nquite superfluous. However, if I\nhave in any way failed to apprehend\nall the details of an interesting ceremony, I am willing to be corrected by\nthe very able and popular editor\nof the Marine Department of the\nColonist.\n\"The new passenger yacht, built in\n\"the Port Alberni ship yards for Wil-\n\"liam Stevens, was launched at high\n\"water, 4.30 p.m. on Saturday last.\n\"It was christened the Somas Queen,\n\"by Mrs. Stevens, who broke a bottle\n\"of wine over the stem, and slid\n\"gracefully down the ways into the\n\"water.\"\nC&i\n0~Zt\"-f%*'.\nTHE ALLEN PLAYERS\nThe offering of the Allen Players\nat the Victoria Theatre this week is\na typical American comedy entitled\n\"The Man from Mexico.\" Its chief\nmerit ,is that it is a laugh-maker, unless it be a greater merit that it exactly suits the public. It has been\nplayed every night this week to increasing numbers of people, and while\nthe play calls for no special comment,\nit is gratifying to be able to record\nthe continued success of such a good\nall-round company, and especially to\nnote that they are able to play their\nrecent offerings a full week, which is\nin every way much better than to attempt two plays a week. The new\narrangement saves a lot of hard work\nfor the members of the company in\ndouble rehearsals and is justified by\ntheir continued and increasing success.\nWhat's in a name? Even well water often\nmakes people ill.\nHow is it that when it is dark lovers often\nsee things in another light?\nHe (as thc curtain falls): \"I think I will\ngo out and get a hreath of fresh air.\" She:\n\"Don't season it so much as you did the\nlast.\"\nBella: \"And to think that Desdcmona was\nmurdered on account of a handkerchief I\"\nJack: \"Really! Did she use musk or pat-\ncl.ouli?\"\nShe\u2014\"The dear old colonel is so absent-\nminded.\"\nHe-.\"Absinthe-minded, you mean.\"\nVICTORIA LAND DISTRICT\nDistrict of Coast\nTAKE NOTICE that I, Morton S.

A\newspapcr story in picture was\ned when the Edison film \"The\nwho made Good,\" was thrown\ne screen, whilst another good\ne was entitled \"Making Photo-\nin Egypt\" which combined in-\nion with pleasure.\nThe Majestic Theatre\nnes taken in the ill-fated city\n\u25a0gina were the \"big hit\" at the\ntic during the middle of the\ncurrent week, and although they were\nnot as clear and sharp as many, their\ninterest was undeniable. Nothing illustrates the value of the modern picture machine than tlie facility with\nwhich pictures of more than national\nimportance are so quickly shown to\nmillions of persons who are thus enabled to take that personal interest\nwhicii mere reading can never give.\nThe Romano's Theatre\nSome very excellent Pathe films\ndealing with events in England were\namong the most interesting of the\npictures shown at Romano's this\nweek. It is always a treat when these\n\"Daily Graphics\" deal with subjects\nthat are British and not American,\nand this week they were most decidedly chosen from among the former class. In addition to these there\nhave been a variety of good films\nshown and another word of praise in\nfavour of Romano's orchestra will not\ncome amiss.\nThe Allen Players\nXcxt week the Allen Players will\noffer for the appreciation of patrons\nof the stock company that absorbing-\nplay, \"The Road to Yesterday,\" being a drama built on the subject of\nre-incarnation. There are a number\nof people in the cast who have direct\nantipathies for each other, and being\nstudents of the previous life theory,\nhave a conviction of having lived on\nthe earth before. The novelty and\ninterest attaching to the play are exceptional, and it was a subject of\nmuch debate when first produced in\nEngland. The play opens in 1903.\nand the heroine has a wish to go\nback 300 years. Her wish is instantly\ngranted and she sees the characters\nin the play of 1903 as they were in\n1603, with the primitive speech and\nhabits of that time.\nPrincess Theatre\n\"Charley's Aunt\" has played to capacity houses all this week. It is one\nof the biggest successes the company\nhas ever put on, being one big laugh\nfrom start to finish, with not one dull\nspot in the whole production. Mr.\nHoward Foster in the role of \"Aunt\"\nwas exceptionally clever\u2014and played\nthe part extremely well\u2014without\nburlesquing or overdoing. Mr. Dave\nWilliams as old Spettigue was also\nvery funny*\u2014and won a great many\nlaughs. The setting of the first act\ndeserves especial mention, as it was\nadmirably done.\nNext week this company will present the beautiful comedy drama,\n\"Thorns and Orange Blossoms.\"\nDramatised from Bertha M. Clay's\nnovel, Mr. Williams has tried for several weeks to procure this play, and\nhas at last been successful, and he\nfeels positive that it will prove a success with the patrons of the house.\nBusiness Changes Hands\nA business change has just taken\nplace on Government Street. For\nsome few years past the Standard\nStationery Company, under the management and ownership of the\nMessrs. Huxtable Bros. & Knott, has\nheld a commanding position amongst\nthe stationery stores in Victoria, and\nit is this business that has just\nchanged hands. The new partners,\nMessrs. Fullbrook and Sayers, will\nconduct the busiuess at the same premises, 1220 Government Street, under the style and title of the Full-\nbrook-Sayers Stationery Company.\nMr. A. E. Sayers, the managing\npartner, in a conversation with a representative of The Week, stated that\nit is the intention of the new firm\nto make a specialty of general stationery; especially that applicable to\nbusiness use. This does not mean to\nsay that the fancy goods which form\nso necessary an adjunct to thc\nmodern stationer's store will be neglected, but it does mean that Stationery (with a capital \"S\") will come\nfirst, and fancy goods second. An\nother feature which will be emphasized by the new firm is the matter\nof prompt delivery, particularly in the\nmatter of phone orders, as it is the\naim of Messrs. Fullbrook and Sayers\nto make their delivery service to their\npatrons satisfactory and reliable. A\nthird specialty is to be made of the\nmagazine business. Up to the present the stationers of the Capital\nCity have been rather inclined to allow this important branch of their\nbusiness to be usurped by the smaller\nnews dealers, but the Fullbrook-\nSayers Company intend to make a\nbold bid for the trade, and, having\nobtained it, to retain it.\nOf the new partners, Mr. A. E.\nSayers is already well-known to Victorians, having been associated with\nthe Standard Stationery Co. for the\npast two years. Mr. Fullbrook,\nthough a comparative stranger in Victoria, has been connected with many\nsuccessful business ventures in Eastern Canada and the Middle West.\nOne of the endeavours of the new\nfirm will be to live strictly up to its\npromises. A promise made may be\nconsidered as a promise kept.\nA very large stock of first-class\ngoods is already on order for the\nFullbrook-Sayers Co., which, when\nadded to that taken over from the\nStandard Stationery Co. will fully\nqualify the firm to take its place\namongst the leading stationers of the\nCity.\nThe Week has much pleasure in recommending its readers to call in and\ninspect the newly stocked premises at\n1220 Government Street and has no\nhesitation in prophesying that the\nname of the Fullbrook-Sayers Co.\nwill stand for all that is best and\nprompt in the stationery business.\nPrincess Theatre\nFormerly A.O.U.W.

WOOLDRIDGE, Proprietress Opposite the Victoria Theatre THE WEEK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 3, 1912\nThe Week\nA Provincial Newspaper and Review\npublished every Saturday by\n\"The Week\" Publishing\nCompany, Limited\nPublished at 1208 Government St.,\nVictoria, B. C, Canada\nWILLIAM BLAKEMORE, Editor\nThe \"Super-\nWoman\"\nBy Bohemian\nGood short stories are scarce, far\nscarcer than goocl novels. The reasons for this are not far to seek, but\nthat is another story.\nIt is a moot point whether the art\nof short story writing is not a lost\nart. At any rate, I can only recall\ntwo men who have achieved any eminence in this department during the\nlast twenty years, Conan Doyle and\nQuiller Couch. Possibly some people would wish to include Jack London, whose lurid sensational sketches\nare followed with avidity by thousands of readers. I doubt, however,\nwhether posterity will accord him a\nplace alongside the other two I have\nmentioned. Indeed, whether rightly\nor wrongly, I claim that \"Q.\" is in a\nclass by himself, and that no short\nstory quite equal to \"The Splendid\nSpur\" has ever been written.\nAll this is by way of preface, and\nit is to be hoped that the expectations\nof my readers have not been raised to\n\u2022the point of expecting a new short\nstory as good as \"The Splendid Spur,\"\nThere is, however, one of high\nmerit and exceptional interest in \"The\nSmart Set\" magazine for August. It\nis entitled \"The Super-Woman,\" and\nis from the pen of Miriam Michel-\nson. It is somewhat fantastic in plot,\non a bed of boughs in a rude hut, in\nis merely a skeleton ou which to\ndrape a series of incidents, and\naround which to develop a few philosophical ideas.\nThc hero is a young American\nmulti-millionaire, the son of the\nrichest man in the world. He falls\noverboard in mid-Atlantic, and after\nbeing buffeted and battered into unconsciousness, passes into a state of\noblivion, from wliieh he awakens a\nweek later to find himself stretched\non a bed of boughs in a rude but, in\na strange land, and surrounded by\nstrange faces. He is nursed by a\nyoung woman. Gurtha, who in a barbaric sense might well be described\nas a\n\"Daughter of the Gods, divinely tall,\nAnd most divinely fair.\"\nBarefooted, barelegged, with her\nbeautiful blonde hair worn in a single\nlong plait, with blue eyes deepened\nto violet under emotion, with a firm,\nstrong hand and a dexterous touch,\nGurtha moved about the hut ministering to every need of the sick so\njoumer. In a state of semi-conscious\nness, he tosses on his rude bed for\nseveral weeks. His condition becomes more critical.\nThe Super-woman has him placed\nin a litter, carried to a boiling geyser,\nand buried up to the chin in hot mud.\nNot a word is spoken, for the simple\nreason that neither understands each\nother's language. He anticipates a\nquiet and decorous \"putting away\" of\na hopeless incurable. To his surprise\nhe finds that the object is not\n\"quietus,\" but \"cure.\"\nIn due course a cure is effected.\nThen our American discovers something of the true character of the\nremarkable country into which a\nstrange fate has flung him. It is a\ncouutry of primitive simplicity and\nprimitive ideas. Everyone works.\nThere is no wealth, no money, no\ncurrency. There are few women and\nmany men. This makes every woman\na super-woman. The children are\nnamed after, and belong to, the\nmothers. A council of women make\nall the laws, and rule the country\nto the minutest detail. The men\nshoot, fish, dig, and forage for the\ncommunity. The women weave the*\nonly garment which is worn by men\nand women alike a single tunic,\ndraped over the whole figure, and\nfastened with a clasp.\nThe American is hauled up before\nthe governing council of women, presided over by Gurtha's mother. An\ninteresting interview takes place, in\nwhich he is made to feel his utter\ninsignificance, and in which the pri\nmitive ideas of a primitive commun\nity are very finely and effectively contrasted with the customs of an effete\ncivilization in which the lords of\ncreation \"toil not. neither do they\nspin.\"\nThis is the really interesting part\nof thc story, and is a fine' satire on\nsome latter-day philosophies which\nsome mothers of the race havc espoused.\nThen in rapid succession follow the\nlogical and inevitable incidents of\nsuch a story. The hero marries Gurtha. They are supremely happy.\nThey have a little girl, to the great\njoy of the community it is not a boy.\nThe super-woman names her Ninith\nHer father idolises her. She is his\ninseparable companion. At three\nyears of age she can swim like a fish\nOne day he takes her out for a long\nswim. They spend a glorious day in\nthe water, returning in the dusk of\nevening. With Gurtha on the shore\nis Than, the great giant of this fighting race. It is not the first time\nThan and Gurtha have been together,\nand it is not so much jealousy as a\ndawning gleam of intelligence which\nbegins to work in the brain of the\nAmerican. He flies to the woods to\nthink out the problem.\nA week passes and he has not returned; the wise old man of thc\ntribe seeks him out, and they discuss\nthe problem under the stars. There\nis a delicious touch of humour and\nof satire in the cold logic of this Po-\nlonius. \"What would you, in a primitive tribe, in which the women are\nfew and the men many.\" In the\nview of these excellent Super-women\nthere is no suspicion of immorality.\nTheir ethics are simply and frankly\nunmoral, and if, as Polonius suggests,\nyou doubt the correctness of their\nconclusions, you have only to reverse\nthe condition, and then conviction\nwould become absolute.\nPolonius tells him of one man who\nsulked as he did, and on his return\nfound the door locked, and advised\nhim not to run the risk of a similar\nexperience. He returned, but the\nshadow had fallen across his path,\nand, although Gurtha was still faithful, the hand-writing on the wall was\ntoo easily discernible for peace of\nmind. Me induces Than to row him\nback to the open ocean, where as a\nderelict he may be picked up and\ntided to the shores of civilization.\nAn attempt to take with him his\ndear little Ninith is frustrated by the\nvigilance of Gurtha, who swims out\nto sea and recovers her darling.\nThere is no sequel, for when the\nhero gets hack to his Fifth Avenue\nClub, removes his primitive halo, and\ndons the purple and fine linen of\nhis class, he is quite unable to convince his clubmates that the story\nis anything more than the wild\nimaginings of a fevered brain. Impossible, you may say; well, read it!\nI for oue think it is well worth while.\nEMPIRE UNITY\nA Canadian M. P.'s Speech in Newcastle\u2014Imperial\nPreference\u2014The Bogey of Dearer Food\nExploded\nBOOK NOTES\nAt the Victoria Book and Stationery Co., 1004 Government\nSt., Victoria, B.C.:\n\"The Touchstone of Fortune,\"\nby Chas.

Councillor Wm. Vincent was\nin the chair, and with him on the\nplatform, at the back of which was\nwrit large the legend \"For Empire,\"\nwere Mr. H. Barnard, a member of\nthe Canadian House of Commons;\nMr. N. Grattan Doyle, Mr. J. C.\nCrosier (Victoria, B.C.), Mr. C. H.\nNothwanger, Mr. M. Caverhill, Mr.\nChas. Cockburu, Mr. Jos. S. Potts (organising secretary of the Northern\nTariff Reform Federation), Mr. Richard Mitchell, Mr. Thos. Bowser, Mr.\nJ. Carrick, Mr. Edward 0. Charlton,\nMr. J. Sandilands, Mr. John Smith,\nand Mr. John Robinson (Walker),\nMr. H. Patterson, Mr. Thos. Law-\nson, Mr. G. Wetherall, Mr. Geo. Davies (Jarrow), and others. Mr. H.\nAshton Richardson, who was to have\nbeen one of the speakers, was absent\non account of illness.\nMr. H. Barnard, who was well received, remarked at the outset of his\nspeech that it was a far cry from\nVictoria, on Vancouver Island, to the\ncity of Newcastle. He was glad, however, to be present that night. He\nrepresented no political party, and he\ndid not pretend to dictate to them\n\u2014indeed, they would be justified in\nresenting dictation from him as to\nwhat was best for this country. There\nwere certain questions, however,\nwhich affected the whole Empire, and\nhe trusted they would bear with him\nwhile he discussed one or two of those\nquestions. (Applause.)\nImperial Federation\nImperial Federation was a question\nhe wanted to touch upon. Was it\nworth while, or was it not worth\nwhile? To answer that problem he\nwanted them for a moment to consider not what the Empire was now,\nbut what it would be in ten years\nfrom today. Canada had a land area\nof three and one-half million square\nmiles. There were in Canada at the\npresent time about two people to the\nsquare mile. Let them contrast that\n\/or a moment with England. In\nEngland and Wales they had about\n58,000 square miles, as compared with\nCanada's three and one-half millions;\nwhile there were 619 people to the\nsquare mile here as compared with\ntwo in Canada.\nThere was room for development\nin Canada, and the country was\ngrowing rapidly. There was room\nfor millions and hundreds of millions\nof people. Millions upon millions of\nacres of land were only waiting to\nbe utilised for the production of\nwheat and other agricultural products\nto send to the people of the home\nland. And when Canada had given\nus what we wanted, she would still\nhave enough to supply the rest of\nEurope. (Applause.) The population\nof the Dominion today was about\nseven millions, and they were getting\npeople at the rate of about 500,000\nper annum. That was a fair estimate\nof the rate of immigration, and it\nwould not decrease. In fact, experience showed that the volume would\nincrease.\nAt that rate, in ten years they\nwould have added live millions of immigrants alone. Add to that figure\nthe natural increase of population,\nand it would be seen that they would\nhave 14 millions of people. Counting\nAustralia, New Zealand, and South\nAfrica, there would be in the British\nEmpire, outside the British Islands,\nanother 24 million people in ten years'\ntime. That meant 24 millions beyond\nthe seas, brought up to respect the\nlaw, the tradition of liberty, and all\nthe institutions of Britain; 24 millions to stand beside the home country in any war she might have to\nfight.\nPreferential Trading\n\"The question arises,\" continued the\nspeaker, \"whether it is worth while\nfor us to stand together and make\none great federated Empire\u2014the\ngreatest Empire the world has ever\nknown. (Applause.) And another\nquestion is, what is the best means\nof cementing and welding the Empire\ntogether? The most practical scheme\nof all is that of Imperial preferential\ntrade\u2014trade within the Empire, so far\nas we can divert it. (Applause.) Of\ncourse you have got to face the fact\nthat Imperial preferential trade carries with it Tariff Reform in this\ncountry, but that is for you to say.\n\"Opponents of Tariff Reform and\nImperial preferential trade always\nmeet one with the argument that you\ncannot combine countries together by\nmeans of tariff treaties. I say they\nare wrong there; I say that all experience shows that that is a wrong\nidea. I say that if the men who direct\nthis country put their minds to the\ntask, they will find no insuperable obstacles to a scheme of Tariff Reform\nthat will work well throughout the\nEmpire.\" (Applause.)\nMr. Barnard went on to point out\nhow the Americans had tried to wean\naway the loyalty of the Canadian people from the mother-country, and how\nthose efforts had failed. As a matter\nof fact, he said, the feeling in Canada\nwas stronger than ever in favour of\nmaintaining the British connection.\n(Applause.) They stood by the old\ncountry, and they hoped that some\nday we would join them in the endeavour to federate the Empire. Opponents said that tariffs were not effective in producing increased trade, but\nthere had been an increase in the exports of Britain to Canada since Canada gave a preference; there had\nbeen a large increase in the trade of\nCanada.\n\"We have been told on this side of\nthe Atlantic,\" the speaker continued,\n\"that the door of Imperial Preference\nhas been slammed, barred, and bolted\nagainst us. That is a statement which\nwe don't believe. The day will come,\nand it is not far distant, when you\non this side will see, as we do in the\ncolonies, that the door should be open,\nand I have enough faith in the common sense of the British people to\nbelieve that it will be opened. (Applause.) I am perfectly convinced\nthat the great majority of the commercial people of this country are\nstrongly in favour of Imperial preferential trade.\"\nNo Dearer Food\nAnother objection that had been\ntaken to Imperial preferential trade\nwas one whicii he had no doubt had\nsome weight among the people he was\naddressing that night. They were\ntold that Imperial preference would\nincrease the cost of their living.\nThere were many answers to that\nsuggestion. In the first place, he supposed that Imperial preference would\ninvolve the impost of some slight duty\nupon foodstuffs, the main foodstuff, of\ncourse, being wheat. But the price of\nfoodstuffs, like that of everything\nelse, was regulated by the law of supply and demand, and if they had\nseen, as he had, millions and millions\nof acres of land in Canada, waiting\nto be tilled, they would not be afraid\nabout the question of supply. Every\ntime they gave an inducement to men\nto grow more wheat in Canada, they\ncould bet their life these men would\ngrow more wheat. When they grew\nmore wheat they, of course, increased\nthe supply, and when they increased\nthe supply they brought down the\nprice. The thing would work out, it\nwas economically certain, so that on\nthis side we would get all the supplies we wanted, and they would not\ncost a penny more. (Applause.)\nEvery year there arrived in Canada\nsome 150,000 immigrants from the\nUnited States, while about 160,000 arrived from the United Kingdom. This\nmatter of American immigration was\nproving a difficult problem for the\nCanadian Government to face, for\nthey had to get these new citizens to\naccept the English market and not\nthat of the United States. It was not\ntrue to say that the people of Canada\nwanted the English people's money;\nthere was no country in the world\nmore prosperous than Canada. All\nthe Canadian people asked for was\nthe help and sympathy of Great Britain in preserving Canada for the\nBritish Empire. They should not for\nget that while Canada had seven\nlions of people, there was, lying tol\nsouth and separated only by |\nimaginary line, 90 millions of pecj\nwho realized the possibilities of j\ncolony. But Canada did not want|\nUnited States, they wanted\nmother-country. (Hear, hear.)\nasked for Imperial preference sd\nwith the idea of cementing the bl\nof union between Canada and j\nmotherland, and incidentally thel\nof the Empire. The Canadians -H\nall patriotic, and England had i_T\nof that in the fact that hardly al\nin Canada where there were fact!\nand workingmen returned to P_|\nment a man who was in favour\nciprocity with the United Si\nThey were wise enough to rc|\nwhere their true interests lay.\nCanadian people wanted Englat\nhelp them in two ways; they w;\nevery inducement to do business\nthem in England, and they w\nEngland to do business in Canai\nThe Spirit of Imperialism f\n\"I have seen in the course of \u25a0:\npolitical life,\" concluded Mr. Bal\n\"the Imperial spirit growing dail[\nonly in Canada, but in this col\nI see today my leader and seve|\nhis Cabinet over here to see wha\ncan do to foster that spirit,\nseen the magnificent receptiotj\nhave received at the hands\npeople of this country, and I cl\nthat I have never experience^\nhospitality.

(Applause.)\nMr. Grattan Doyle, who wa\nother speaker, impressed upo\nhearers the importance of wha\nBarnard had said, and pointe\nthat the Canadian people had\ngreat patriotism in the last eld\nand had given the mother-couil\nmagnificent example. \u2014 [Nev\\|\nDaily Journal, July 12.]\nDid You Ever Ti\nOur Caramels?\nLike the rest of our ca\ndies, they are noted f\ntheir quality and fres\nness\nDon't Pass Us By\nPalace of Sweetsl\n1013 Government St.\nVictoria, B.

Divergence of opinion is apparent\nng its degree of acuteness and its causes. A correspondent, for\ne, says it is quite true that certain Canadian and other loans\nto be taken in part by the underwriters, but those who know\nrket intimately do not largely ascribe this to the scarcity of\nin London or Paris, or to the lack of interest on the part of\nrs. In London ancl Paris banks there is probably more money\nosit than ever before. \"There is,\" he continues, \"the psycho-\ntime when an offering should be made, but just now the average\ni investor wants a higher rate of interest for his money and is\n[ntent with 4 or A]A per cent. Even the large insurance and\n1 corporations overseas are looking for better returns than for-\nand the effect is, for example, seen in prices of English Consols\n;iglish railway securities, which for so long had been favourites,\nighcr rate of interest appears to be the chief reason why our\ngovernment, city ancl railway 4 per cent, loans have not been\nediate success.\"\nir correspondent correctly points out that it is not ahvays right\n[i loans a failure where the public, in response to the advertise-\npnly takes a portion of the securities. As a matter of fact, the\n.ritingS are, as a rule, gradually placed throughout the Kingdom\nunderwriters through their brokers. For instance, the latest\niver loan had only a small proportion at first taken by the public,\n.etime afterwards the whole balance was placed with nine or ten *\nce companies. Further, it often happens that the issuing house\n|it expect an entirely successful flotation at the start, but secures\ntion on the Stock Exchange and gradually gets rid of the bonds.\n|hile these contentions are true, the reports received by The\nry Times regarding a large number of Canadian issues in Lon-\nw that not only were large amounts left with the underwriters,\nunderwriters have had considerable difficulty in getting the\nes absorbed, even when allowed many weeks to do so. That is\n[)roof of market congestion.

Both Montreal ancl Toronto are largely responsible\nfor the present position. In the opinion of leading financiers, had these\ntwo prominent cities acted on the advice tendered them as to the most\n' suitable opportunity for financing their requirements, the present state\nof affairs would have been much less acute. Now, it is common\nknowledge that large sums have to be provided, thf3. greater portion\nof which will have to be raised by means of short-dated bills. Whilst\nwe shall, of course, continue to finance the requirements of Canadian\nmunicipalities, the terms will undoubtedly be increasingly onerous.\nWe can only repeat what we have previously said, viz., that Canadian\ncities will do well to restrict their expenditure, for the present at all\nevents, to the lowest possible limits. No one questions that this\ncountry must for many years to come finance the Dominion, but the\npersistence with which appeals for funds have been made of late has\nmade it increasingly difficult for those charged with the necessary\nfinancial arrangements to ensure their success. Canadian cities and\nother borrowers are certainly running a great risk of wearing out\ntheir welcome in the London market.\"\nMunicipalities cannot be too careful in keeping their expenditure\nwithin the smallest possible limits. It is a good sign to see the local\npress advocating this policy. The Calgary News Telegram, as an\nexample, recently asked whether it would not be wise to postpone\naction regarding some of the proposed improvements for a few\nmonths, or until market conditions are more encouraging than they\nare now\u2014a very proper question with only one answer. Municipal\nfinancing has assumed large proportions during the past few years.\nAlthough it is inconvenient to put on the brakes at this time, the\nattitude of the country lending us most money must be taken as a\nsignificant warning.\nRepresentatives of the city of Toronto are in London endeavouring to market $6,000,000 of the Queen City's securities. Not long\nago, we understand, that city received an excellent offer for every\ndebenture it had on hand. The offer was refused, and we fear that\nToronto must now suffer with the rest of those making a pilgrimage\nto the London market. The city of Montreal has to float loans\namounting to about $13,000,000. That it has borrowed temporary\nloans amounting to over $5,500,000, and that these latter loans may\nat any time be a source of heavy loss for the corporation are facts\nthat both the city treasurer and the city auditor have brought before\nthe board of control. They are considering another attempt to place\na loan of seven or eight millions on the London market through the\nBank of Montreal. If it should happen that 95, or even less, is\noffered the controllers, owing to the large temporary loans whicii have\nbeen contracted, they may be compelled to accept the tenders.\nThe signs are plain that Canada should keep out of the London\nmarket entirely, and for several months.\nVICTORIA LAND DISTRICT\nDistrict of Coast, Range II\nTAKE notice that Violet Warr, of Victoria,\nB.C., occupation Spinster, intends to apply for\npermission to purchase the following described\nlands:\u2014Commencing at a post planted about\n20 chains north and 20 chains west of the\nnorth-west corner of Lot 381, Coast District,\nRange 2, thence south 40 chains; thence west\n80 chains; thence north 40 chains; tiience east\n80 cliains and containing 320 acres, more or\nless.\nDated May 25th, 1912,\nVIOLET WARR.\naug. 3 sept. 28\nVICTORIA LAND DISTRICT\nDistrict of Coast, Range II\nTAKE notice that Reginald D.

The Week has no\nintention of becoming involved in a controversy on this subject, but in view of the\nignorant attacks whicli have recently been\nmade upon Christian Science, would venture to suggest that facts cannot be disproved by argument, and that there are\nmore things in heaven and earth than are\ndreamt of in the average man's philosophy.\nThe Week holds no brief for Christian\nScience and has always been somewhat\nsceptical of its claims, but it knows enough\nof its work to feci convinced that it deserves credit for many remarkable cures\nwhich cannot be accounted for on any ordinary grounds, and which inevitably recall\nthe declaration of the blind man who obstinately refused to be drawn into argument\nbut just as obstinately stuck to the one fact\nthat \"whereas I was once blind, now I see.\"\nPALABRE DEL INGLESE \u2014Mr.\nThomas Mawson is an Englishman;\nhe is also the most celebrated landscape artist in the world. He has been\nconsulted on the laying out of parks and\npublic spaces by the highest authorities in\nEurope and America. A few months ago\nhe visited Victoria where he was consulted\nby the Parks Committee, a body entrusted\nwith the administration ancl management\nof all matters connected with the parks ancl\npublic spaces of the City of Victoria. By\nthat Committee he was engaged at a fee\nof $5,000 to advise and direct the treatment of these properties, and as between\nhimself and the Committee the understand\ning was complete. It is true that he had\nnothing but \"the word of an Englishman\"\nto bind the bargain, but it is also true, as\nnarrated by Mr. Evelyn Wrench on the\noccasion of his recent visit to Victoria, that\neven in South America the natives clinch\ntheir bargains with the phrase \"palabre del\nInglese,\" and that is the highest appeal to\nhonour that they know. The City Council\nof Victoria repudiated \"the word of an\nEnglishman\" and instructed their clerk to\nmake the repudiation irrevocable. The\nclerk may or may not have carried out his\ninstructions, but in any event the letter\nnever reached Mr. Mawson, and his son is\non the way to carry out the verbal contract\nwhich his father entered into with an official\nrepresentative of a Canadian city which\nboasts with justice that \"it is a little bit of\nEngland by the sea,\" but which, if its civic\nrepresentatives maintain their present attitude in this matter can lay but small claim\nto the title.\nPIONEER MERCHANTS \u2014 Many\nparagraph in Thursday's paper which\npeople will have read with regret the\ntold that Messrs. Weiler Bros, had sold\ntheir old established business. Not that\nthere is any reason to suppose that the\nbusiness will suffer, or that the public will\nnot receive the same treatment from their\nsuccessors, but that Weiler Bros, represent\none of the oldest and most respected families of merchants in the Capital City. Their\nfather established himself here fifty years\nago; he was always a popular and progressive man, ancl his sons have well maintained the high reputation which he earned.\nThere have been no more genial, kindly,\nhonourable business men in the city. Their\nmethods were characterised by the best\nfeatures of a high class, English firm, although they themselves claim another nationality. With Weilers' it was always a\nquestion of quality and reliability. Mr.\nOtto Weiler, who is now relinquishing control of this gigantic business, gave it his\nclose personal attention, and travelled half\nthe world over to select the best ancl newest\nline of goods. He retires from the business\nwith the respect of the whole community,\nancl with something more than respect from\neveryone who has had the pleasure of transacting business with him or his firm.\nRECOGNITION\u2014Mr. E. P. Johnston,\nthe Assistant Manager of the B. C.\nTelephone Company, has resigned\nhis position after twenty years' service with\nthe Company, to enter into private business.\nMr. Johnston was as capable ancl as courteous an officer as any corporation could\nemploy. In an exacting and anxious position he acquitted himself to the satisfaction of the public. Not that he was able\nto do by any means all that they asked; for\ntoday the telephone service, like other public services, is behind the requirements of\nthe city, but this is not Mr. Johnston's fault.\nHe did the best he could with the material\nat hand, ancl in doing this he not only convinced the public of his anxiety to please\nand so secured their confidence, but he gave\nthe fullest satisfaction to his employers. On\nbeing notified of his resignation the directors of the Company presented Mr. Johnston with an extremely beautiful and valuable silver service. Mr. Johnston retires.,\nwith the satisfaction of knowing that he\nhas done well in a somewhat difficult\nposition.\nTEREDOS\u2014The Colonist says that\nthe explanation that poaching craft\nare taken to the Fraser River to escape the destructive teredo is \"reasonable.\"\nThe Week ventures to think that the Colonist has not considered this matter with\nits usual deliberation. The charge is not\nthat poaching craft are taken to the Eraser,\nbut to Vancouver, and held there until the\ncase comes before the Courts\u2014and there\nare teredos in Vancouver. The point which\nstrikes The Week is that the Colonist fails\nto see that in accepting such a reason it is\nendorsing an objection to Victoria as a port.\nDoes it wish to argue that the onlv safe\nplace in which to hold a boat must\nsought in fresh water, and does it wish\ncreate the impression that teredos are\nabundant in the Victoria harbours as to\nclanger the condition of a craft which mi\nhave to remain here for several weeks?\nGARBAGE DUMPS\u2014The Weel\npleased to learn that there is a ]\nbability of the Health Committee\nthe Council being able to arrange for a {\nbage clump elsewhere than at the back\nthe Empress Hotel. The members of\nCouncil who voted for it a fortnight\ncannot have given the matter any ser\nconsideration, but the mere possibility\nsuch an arrangement has aroused a stl\nof protest from the public and especf\nfrom property owners in the vicinity, w|\nholdings would have been seriously de|\nciated in value if the resolution whiclj\nCouncil passed in one of its mad\nmoments had been carried out.\nMIXED FARMING\u2014In a ri\nissue commenting on the Sal\nchewan elections ancl the renl\ncontroversy about reciprocity the Hani\nSpectator pregnantly observes: \"In|\ntime Saskatchewan will see the wisdc\nmixed farming. Then its prosperity\nsurpass all bounds, ancl reciprocity wl\nrecalled merely as a grotesque drc\nThis is exactly wdiat the highest autb\nSir William Whyte, has been telling\nsettlers of the Northwest for years,\nsays the)' are not farmers but grain gro\\\nancl when they really begin to farm\nwill become self-supporting, and will\nto illustrate the anomaly of a so-called\nmer importing farm products.
