VICTORIA, B. C.\nWtJUUU tXSULXXSJL-iaxXXXXAk\nVol. IV. No. 35\nTHE WEEK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1907\nOne Dollar Per Annum\nMr. E. L. Borden, the\nI Coast Cities Leader of the Conserva-\nIn Line. tive party in Canada, is\njust about completing a\na campaign which lie inaugurated on the\nshores of the Atlantic, in the historic City\nii Halifax, two months ago, and which\nias\/ according to competent authorities,\nvoked a degree of enthusiasm never before witnessed in connection with the tour\n|)f a political leader. AVhatever enthu-\niasm may have been manifested in\nEastern and Middle Canada, it certainly\nulminated at the Coast in a reception of\nhich any potentate might well be proud,\nhe result has been somewhat surprising\nlecause Mr. Borden's style and manner\nave not been regarded as calculated to\nnthuse public audiences, lie is delib-\nate, somewhat prosaic, with a tendency\n0 laboured delivery and with a conspicu-\nus absence of light and shade in the com-\nosition of his speeches; in short, he has\nttle orno magnetism. It is widely held\nbat no man deficient in this quality can\n|e a successful leader of men. Sir John\nMacdonald, whom men of all parties\n[illingly concede to be the greatest born\nader who has figured in Canadian\nfairs, had this quality in a remarkable\negree. Its possession must also be con-\nIdedj though in a lesser degree, to Sir\nrilfrid Laurier. There are, however,\nher qualities less brilliant, though hard-\nless effective, which have distinguished\n.rliamentary and party leaders. Neither\nresident McKinley in the United States\n|\u00bbr Sir John Thompson in Canada pos-\nssed a particle of magnetism. They were\nth men of the stolid, heavy, unimagin-\nive type, and yet they gradually forged\neir way to the front and at the termin-\nion of their careers were established not\nly in the affections, but in the confidence\nthe people. Mr. Borden is a man of\nI is type; what he lacks in brilliancy he\nikes up in sterling character, absolute\nicerity of purpose, and painstaking\nort. Also it may fairly be admitted\nit since assuming office he has wonder-\nlly \"come on,\" and at the present mo-\n;nt he occupies in the public estimate a\nsition from which it will bn extremely\nficult for any man to dislodge him. He\nwon the public confidence, and has\nne to be regarded in exactly the same\nht by Canadians as the late Lord Derby\ns by Englishmen; hc is a ' safe\" man.\nhether or not he is big enough to lead\nparty to victory is another question,\nImay, however, be conceded that in Op-\niition he has done it well. There is no\nnmd upon which he is not entitled to\n)pct the united support and the loyalty\nevery Conservative, and in addition\nsagacity of his policy and his honesty\nI purpose are every day securing for him\nlerents from the ranks of those who\n:nowledge allegiance to no party. At\nlarge meetings which he held in Vic-\nfa and Vancouver, he was supported on\nplatform by the most influential busi-\n|s men of the community, men who are\nactively identified with political life,\nwho realize that the best interests of\ncountry are bound up witli a policy\nlich is the traditional one of the Conserve party, which, as Mr. Borden\newdly pointed out, is imperfectly ad-\niistcred by the Laurier Administration,\nause they dare not repudiate it. but in\nEDITORIAL\nsuch a reluctant mannej as to clearly\ndemonstrate that it is alien to their instincts. It is not to be wondered at that\nMr. Borden's pronouncement upon the attitude of the Conservative party towards\nthe great*industrial and commercial interests of Canada, met with a hearty response. Equally satisfactory was his\ntreatment of the Asiatic question. As a\nstatesman, and the responsible head of a\ngreat party, he was emphatic in his defense of treaty obligations, and in his\ndeclaration that under any and all circumstances law and order must be maintained,\nbut he was equally emphatic and precise\nin stating that if he were at the head of the\nGovernment he would, in the matter of\nAsiatic Exclusion, deal with the subject\nin accordance with the express wish of the\nconceded by Sir Wilfred Laurier when it\nsuited his purpose, in dealing with another great Provincial issue, '\"Better\nTerms.'' His one argument was that\nBritish Columbia should bow to the wishes\nof lhe Federal Government, whose representations alone should be accepted by the\nImperial authorities. The Federal Government cannot blow hot and cold on this\nmatter. The Editor of a great Eastern\nLiberal paper, who was in Victoria this\nweek, in discussing this question shrewdly\nremarked: \"The work before British Columbia is first to convert Eastern Canada\nto its views on the Asiatic question. Until\nthe Eastern provinces and the Ottawa\nGovernment support the contentions of\nBritish Columbia, the demand from the\nCoast will be as the voice of one crying\nMB. B. L. BOBDEB\nLeader of tbe Conservative Party.\nmajority of the people of British Columbia\nregard less of party. This is as definite as\nil is wise, and contrasts strikingly with\nihe action of Sir Wilfred Laurier in demanding a solid seven as the price of consideration for the interests of British Columbia. The one leader made partisanship a condition, the other ignores it, and\nconcedes the right of the majority to rule.\nThe strongest feature of Mr. Borden's\naddresses at the Coast has been his conclusive demonstration of thc fact that for\nthe present Asiatic invasion and the\ntrouble which it is making for tlie Province, the Federal Government is entirely\nresponsible. His argument that Canada\npossessed no natural disqualification for\ntaking a stand which had been successfully\ntaken in other sections of the Empire is\nunanswerable. It is hardly likely that the\nImperial Government and still less likely\nthat the Japanese Government would he\ninfluenced by representations from a single\nProvince of Canada when those representations were not supported by the Federal\nGovernment. This principle has been\nin the wilderness.\" These are weighty\nwords and clearly indicate that Mr. Borden has placed the responsibility where it\nproperly rests, and unless by judicious action the Federal Government takes prompt\naction this will be the one and only issue\non which British Columbians will contest\nthe next Federal election. Mr. Borden\nlias started on his return journey to the\nEast, lie takes with him the good wishes\nand the entire confidence of the people of\nthis Province. He has immeasurably\nstrengthened his own position and the pros-\nperls of the party by his wise and statesmanlike utterances. He lias shown a\nmastery of the subjects which engross pub-\nlie attention here, as well as a promptness\nund definifeness in pronouncing upon\nthem. He leaves behind him capable\nleaders who will carry out the policy he\nonl lined, and who beyond the shadow of a\ndoubt will at the next election carry the\nConservative colours to victory in that\nProvince by the sea which appears to Sir\nWilfred Laurier to be almost a negligible\nquantity.\nAccording to a news item\nRampant which appeared in the\nExclusionists. Vancouver papers of\nThursday, \"Those men\nwho have turned the world upsidedown,\nare coming hither also.\" Unfortunately,\nhowever, their mission, unlike the one to\nwhich allusion is made, is not conceived\nin the best interests of the public. The\ngang of cheap guys who stand at street\ncorners and hold up the passer by for a\nfifty-cent contribution to the Asiatic Exclusion League will find no rest for the\nsole of their feet in the City of Victoria.\nEveryone sympathises with the desire to\nprevent Asiatic Immigration into British\nColumbia, and to preserve it as a \"white\nman's country,\" but if this means anything, it means the preservation of those\nideals which are dear to the white man,\nand among these must surely be classed\nrespect for the law, and a small measure,\nat: any rate, of self respect. When men\nwho call themselves white resort to\nmethods which would discredit the intelligence of the Asiatic races which they decry, they cannot be surprised if men who\nstop to think have their doubts about the\nsanity of such leadership. Seekers for a\nlittle cheap notoriety can always obtain it\nby pandering, to the lowest instincts of the\nmob. They are cheap as their price (50\ncents) would indicate. They may tack\nthemselves onto the skirts of a great movement, but they cannot be regarded seriously. In any case, the Police authorities of\nVictoria may safely be trusted to protect\nthe city from an invasion which wrought\nso much disaster in Vancouver and which\nVictorians have been educated to regard\nas something more to be dreaded than an\nAsiatic invasion.\nGetting\nAlarmed.\nThe Directors of the\nGrand Trunk Pacific are\nwaking up, not so much\nto a sense of the requirements of British Columbia as to a recognition of their own danger. The AVeek\nis in receipt of private information to the\neffect that arrangements have actually been\nconcluded for beginning railway construction on the Pacific Coast, and that the\nimmediate result of the visit of Mr. C. M.\nHays and his colleagues, is that this work\nwill be commenced within a month. This\nis all very gratifying and will bc accepted\nby the Province at its face value, neither\nmore nor less. Our memories are not\nshort; they go back at least three years,\nand they recall the fact that in 190-1 Mr.\nF. AV. Morse declared that he was ready\nto commence const ruction at once if the\nProvincial Government acceded to his demands. Thai he did not do so was clearly by an exorcise of what he obviously\nconsidered a \"divine right.\" The present\ndetermination will not, in the public\nmind, by any possibility be dissociated\nfrom the imminence of a Federal Election\nnnd the certainty that an application will\nhe made for an extension of time in which\nto complete the railway. By no possibility can the original charter be complied\nwith within the set time, and it. would be\na liitle too raw a proposition, even for the\ny Harry First, in the Hebrew char-\ncter of Jacob Weinstem, a marriage\niroker and dealer in lottery tickets,\nissistcd by Miss Florence Hadley\nnd Mr. Maurice Frank.

Both organizations have received the highest\npraise from the critics and the universal opinion is expressed that these\npieces, which enjoyed such great\npopularity last year, have never been\nso thoroughly well presented as now.\nFrank Lalor and his associates in the\n\"Coming Thro' the Rye\" cast, seem\nto have added fresh vigor and attractiveness to the performance and the\nnew scenery and costumes, which\nwere gotten up specially for the present tour of the piece, have been described as a vast improvement on last\nseason's equipment. It looks now as\nthough \"Coming Thro' the Rye\"\nwould roll up a greater record in the\nmatter of financial returns than that\nwhich distinguished last season's tour,\nwhich was admittedly one of the largest, in point of receipts, of the entire\nseason. \"The Land of Nod\" is being\ngiven with the fine equipment of scenery, costumes, and other effects which\nwere specially gotten up for the big\nNew York Theatre production last\nwinter. Thc cast includes Knox Wilson and Ursula March, who played\n\"April Fool\" and \"The Chorus Girl,\"\nrespectively, last season and scored\nimmense hits. The remainder of the\ncast seems to have been very wisely\nchosen since thc whole performance\nhas met with the hearty favor of the\nnewspaper critics everywhere. The\ngeneral impression in New York theatrical circles is that these two productions arc destined to go through\nthe season with most gratifying results to all concerned.\nMOMUS.\nST.

A gentleman with whom\nI am well acquainted, and who is\na constant passenger on the Victoria-\nVancouver boats, complained to me\nthat he was perpetually being asked\nthe names of the various islands,\npassed en route. He made the suggestion that I should voice his complaint in the public press. Obviously\nthe remedy for this lies in the hands\nof Tbe Tourist Association. It would\nnot be hard to make out a neat little\nchart, all the islands could be named,\nand their different characteristics\nnoted. Such and such an island for\nsheep; another for poultry; one more\nfor general farming. The expense\nwould be paid for by advertisers both\nin Victoria and Vancouver. If the\nI Tourist Association like to give me\nlthe job, with a list of the islands, I\n\u2022 will guarantee that I can make money\n[out of the scheme. But, it is up to\n|them first.\nWhat on earth are the Municipal\nJCouncil of Victoria thinking about\nIwhen they allow such an obstruction,\nlas, at the time of writing, exists at\nlthe Broad street end of Trounce av-\nlenue? Planks of wood, balanced on\nIstones, at the entrance to a public\nIthoroughfare should be labelled with\nla red light, as on a dark night such\nIan obstruction constitutes a public\n\u25a0danger. The same thing applies to\n\u25a0that portion of the sidewalk imme-\nIdintely below the Dominion Hotel.\nIThe unwary pedestrian could easily\n\u25a0break his neck there. Night time in\nIWestern Canada is not famous for\nlits walkers; people who take in both\nJsides of the road at once are liable\nIto hurt themselves at this place, and\n\u25a0when all is said and done, though the\n(authorities are not supposed to en-\nIcourage such habits, yet they must\n\u25a0remember that it is these very same\n(people who spend good money in\nItheir town. Also it must be remembered that there is a well proved pro-\nIverb, which tells us that \"Providence\nplways looks after drunken men and\nphildren,\" and I don't see why the\n\"ouncil can't follow the habits of\nProvidence. There are many worse\npxamples.\nI saw Mr. Palmer, Detective-Ser-\nteant, the other day; I am glad to\nlay that it was on my business, and\nlot on his. I am not an anti-Asiatic\nly any means, but I do object to be-\nng awakened at seven o'clock in the\nnoming by a Chinaman hitting a\ntong. I am quite prepared to admit\n\u25a0hat I am a crank on the subject of\nloise; my friends have told me time\n|nd time again that this is so; it is\nJrobably the fact. I have been told\nhat this dislike of noise in the morn-\nng is the result of a guilty conscience,\ndon't dispute that, either; nobody\nIcith any sense would come out here\n|nless he had one.\nIn sizing things up, however, the\nthinaman is no worse than the Chris-\npan. We hear a lot in stories about\nhe bells \"pealing merrily,\" but as\nmatter of fact they are an abom-\nhable nuisance. What good are they?\nDo you honestly think that they bring\nInybody to church who wouldn't\nlave gone anyway? I don't know\nlow often you have heard the same\nlords; I know that I have heard them\n111 I am sick of them: \"Oh, is that\nlie little bell; I must hurry or else\nle shall be late (well it depends on\nlie relationship as to whether she\njuts in the \"dear\" or not). And the\nlurry takes about half an hour. What\n\u25a0ith making up her mind as to match-\n|g plum-coloured skirts with pink\nbse, and other necessary details,\nlere is no getting away with her\nlorn the house. And where does the\nJiurch bell come in? Simply a noise\nIhich might well be done away with.\n1 know that in all my long experi-\nnce, about seventy-five next month,\nI have never yet met a person who\nks gone to church just because the\nIs were ringing.\nI have already written on the subject of impoliteness, or incivility. Of\ncourse it is only a matter of breeding, and in the Old Country the way\nin which the smart young men of\nthis country treat their lady friends\nwould simply be called \"damned bad\nform.\" It is largely the fault of\nparents; they spoil their children till\nthere is no getting them to do what\nthey are told; the said children get\nwork for themselves at about twelve\nand are independent at fifteen. This\nis absolutely immoral. If people are\ngoing to enjoy the luxury of getting\nmarried they should be made to see\nthat their children are turned out as\nladies and gentlemen. This is not\nhard; there is no need for high birth,\nor any rot like that; I know that all\nthe blackguards I ever met, have been\nfrom the tall-hat arrangement, and\nthat I have met more true gentlemen, that is \"Nature's Gentlemen,\"\nin the class which we most erroneously call the lower class.\nAnd yet I am not a Socialist; not\na bit of it. It always gives me a glow\nwhen I hear the National Anthem; I\nhave the greatest respect for the\nHouse of Lords. But there is some\ninherent deficiency in a certain class\nof people. As a rule the higher a\nman or woman, though this is rarer,\nis in the social scale, the more courteous they are to all the folks they\nmeet. The cheap man, who probably\nsells matches on the quiet, and pretends to own a house in Park Lane,\nis the one who thinks it is part of\nhis business to be rude to the people\nwhom he has the gall to imagine are\nhis inferiors. Well, he can go on\nthinking, for in ninety-nine cases out\nof a hundred the inferiority comes in\non the other side.\nIt is a funny thing that Victoria for\nthe most part advertises itself; at\nleast in The Sunday Colonist; but\nwhen the fall fair comes along there\nis a great lack of the same advertising. I do not refer to the newspaper\npart of it; Mr. Smart, the excellent\nmanager of the fair, looks after that.\nBut why is there no public advertising in the way of flags and signs? A\ngentleman came over from Vancouver on Wednesday whom I knew; I\nasked him if he had been up to the\nfair, and he replied that he had heard\nthat there was going to be a fair soon,\nbut he didn't know that it was on\nnow. These remarks are uttered, or\nrather printed, in the interests of the\nCity, by one who firmly believes that\nthe present Mayor by his action in\nprohibiting \"The Owl\" banner and\nthat of \"The Merchants' Picnic\" from\nbeing displayed across the street has\nproved detrimental to the city.\nafa\ntrtvUftsr.\nCooked His Goose.\nEnterprise in Kansas is not confined to the sterner sex.
