The speakers of Uie evening were Mr. Martin Burrell, conservative candidate ia Yale-\nCariboo, and Mr. Charles Wilson, K. 0.\nMr. Wilson indicted tbe Dominion government for its treatment of the province, giving telling instances from his\nown extensive political experience. Mr.\nBurrell made a brilliant and sweeping\ning speech. Convincing statistics, sowing the delinquency of the Dominion\ngovernment In dealing with the affairs\nof the country, were interspercea with\nflashes of rhetoric and wit, which held\nthe attention of the audience throughout the length of a two hours' speech.\nHe also brought from the upper country\nan inspiring message ot the hopefulness\nof the party's prospects there. Mr. Cowan did not speak, as he felt that he required a rest after the labors of thB\nweek, but his appearance on the platform was heartily cheered.\nMr. C. W| Woodworth presided, and\nin opening tho meeting said that since\nthe .papers were sold that morning the\nconservatives did not need to hold\nmeetings to gain voters. It was only a\nquestion of which of Mr. Cowan's opponents would lose bis deposit.\nMr Charles Wilson was the llrst\nspeaker and received a rousing reception. He said that when he .received\nMr. Cowan's invitation to take his place\non the platform that evening he had a\nlittle hesitation in coming forawrd, as\nhe feared he could not say much new;\neverything was getting pretty well\nworn, but he thought it his duty to be\npresent and show his allegiance to tbe\ncause and do what be could to assist.\nHe had often acted as curtain-raiser in\ncampaigns. He had done so for sir\nCharles Tupper in the past, and was\npleased to do so for Mr. Martin Burrell\ntonight.\nNow may I say a word with regard\nlo our candidate, Mr. Cowan? said Mr.\nWilson amid cheers. He is a gentleman who by his long residence in this\ncity, by his high character and active\ninterest ln public affairs, has earned\nthe right to appeal for your suffrages\nunder any conditions; and as a candidate for your suffrages as standard-\nbearer ln this election we are proud of\nhim. We are proud of our candllate\nand of our leador, Mr. Borden, and we\nare satisfied as to what the result of\nthis general election will be. (Applause.)\nMr. Wilson next dealt with the pro-\ncinclal fisheries. Ho declared that nearly the whole of the fishery trade, formerly carried on by white men, was now\ncarried on by Japanese. Ho pointed\nout that in the 14 years prior to 1894,\nthe total revenue from fisheries of the\nDominion was $1,049,000. of which\nBritish Columbia contributed 38 1-2 per\ncent. In these years the government\nexpended $6,345,000 on fisheries In the\neastern provinces, and on British Columbia only J1G3.240 was spent. And to\nthis day the Dominion received the\nwhole of the fishery revenue of British\nColumbia, and retained only 2 1-2 per\ncent, and the rest was spent In Nova\nScotia and the eastern provinces, Tha\nDominion called a modus Vivendi, and\nhad never got any further.\nMr. Wilson then turned his attention\nto the Grand Trunk Pacific and showed\nhow the government had failed to keep\nfaith with the province in seeing that\nthe road was constructed in British\nColumbia within the time specified. If\nthere was any one body of men who deserved credit for hastening this work\nit was the local conservative government, which had also practically excluded the employment of Asiatics in\nth\u00bb bargain It bad made. (Applause.)\nIn speaking of the Asiatic queBtion\nhe did not wonder it had been so much\ndiscussed as there was no other question ot such vital importance to west-\nem Canada. He had been counsel for\nBritish Columbia at the time of the\nDominion Chinese commission. If there\nwas one thing that Bat with damning\nweight on the shoulders of the commission it was the report of that commission. >\nThe report of the Chinese commission\nin 1900 showed that the Orienais at that\ntime practically controlled the fleheries,\nthe shingle bolt and cordwood business\nof British Coumbla, In 1900 there were\n3,000 Japanese engaged in the fisheries\nIn this country, and this meant the displacement of 3,000 men of our own\nblood and race. The report stated that\nin some Industries the Japanese were\neven driving out the Chinese, and were\naltogether more dangerous competitors\nto tie white men. The report of the\ncommission concluded with a recommendation that if the inhabitation of Japan\non emigration proved inefficient, the\nDominion government should pass a\nNatal Act and keep them out.\nYet year after year the province passed\nNatal Acts, and the Dominion government disallowed them.\nMr. Wilson continued that the only\ncolony or dependency in the British em-\npler to adopt the Japanese treaty was\nthe Dominion of Canada,\nThere are plenty of workingmen In\nthis audience and I ask them whether\nin face of all theBe facts they can still\nvote for Mr. Mclnnes and white Canada.\n(Cries of \"No\", and cheers.)\n\u2022We conservatives are Just as sincere\non this question as Mr. Mclnnes, and\nMr. Cowan, as a supporter of Mr. Borden, will have more influence to remedy\nthis wrong than Mr. Mclnnes possibly\ncould as a supporter of sir Wilfrid\nLaurier. (Applause.)\n\u25a0 In closing, Mr. Wilson uttered a\nscathing indictment of the Dominion\n\u25a0government on the treatment of the\nprovince on the question of better\nterms.\nIt is fortunate for us, he added, that\nour local government fought this question as it did. If we ever get a conservative government that deals with our\nclaims for better terms as the Dominion\ngovernment haB done, then good-bye to\nprosperity for BrltlBh Columbia. (Loud\napplause.)\nMr. Martin Burrell, in opening, expressed his pleasure at seeing Mr. cowan with them on the platform, and how\nglad they were lu the interior that he\nwas the candidate of the conservative\nparty In this city. When the committee\ninvited him there that night he knew\nthat it was not because it was necessary\nthat he should come to the help of Mr.\nCowan with whom it was not a question\nof eleoWon, but of the size of the majority. He thought it rather because\nthe people of Vancouver might like to\nimbibe a little of the fresh air which\nswept over the wide range of hill and\nvalley in the interior, which came the\nmore welcome to them in the murky air\nof this metropolitan riding.\nSome of them might know that he\nrepresented a constituency larger in\narea than Great Britain itself, though\nwhen in the old country he told them\nthat he had once contested a constituency of that size they seemed to think\nhe, wasl b, colossal liar. However, he\nhad lately driven through the length\nand breadth of that constituency and\nfound the people everywhere taking a\nprofound interest In the campaign.\nEverywhere he had found a most ready\nresponse to Mr. Borden's memorable\nwords that the great issues before the\npeople were \"honest administration of\npublic affairs, honest expenditure of\npublic moneys, and tho appointment to\npublic office of men of decent character\nand good capacity. The greatest essentials of government (Applause.)\nMr. Burrell then contrasted tlie unity\nthat he found among the conservative\ncandidates all over the province with\nthe divisions in Iho opposition camp.\nThere was Mr. Smith Curtis running in\nKootenay, a gentleman who went into\npublic life in meteoric rushes, equalled\nonly by the speed with which he rushed out.\nYou have another instance here In Mr.\nMclnnes. Now, It is strange that some\nyears ago Mr. Curtis had no use for Mr.\nMclnnes and said he was not to bo\ntrusted. In fact Mr. MclnneB reminds\nme of the wordB ot Max Nordau, when\nhe said that a man with n powerful\nvoice and a rapid utterance could attain to any degree ot political authority\nIn political life, no matter what he said.\n(Laughter.)\nHe continued that in a gentle debate\nwith Mr. Mclnnes at Kamloops about\na year and a half ago, that gentleman\nhad said that Mr. Burrell might know\nsomething about apples, but he knew\nnothing about finance. Well, he had\nwatched the career 0f Mr. Mclnnes. and\nhad come to the conclusion that he\nknew nothing about apples or about\nfinance, except of the frenzied kind.\nIn fact, his general politics assembled\nvery much a pyrotechnic display, and\nns this was probably Mr. Mclnnes' last\nnppearance In public life he was giving\none of those exhibitions of fireworks\nwhich usually mark the close of a pyrotechnic displny. He was like one of\nthose bumbs or rockets which explode\nwith a loud noise and a stream of light\nmore noise than light, however, and\nthen silence and darkness closes over\nthe performance. (Laughter)\n_ Mr. Smith Curtis disagreed with Mr.\nMclnneB. Mr. Mclnnes disagreed with\nMr. Templeman, and Mr. Duncan Ross,\nwho was running against him, disagreed\nwith 'the whole bunch. It was quite evident that a house divided against itself\ncould-not stand.\nHe continued that during the quarter\nof a century that he had lived in Canada\nhe belived that the present condition\nwas creating more interest than any\nother he had seen, but the principles\nthat guided the conservatives years ago\nwere still guiding them, and nerving\nthem for the fight and ensuring victory.\n(Applause.) He realized that in a contest of this kind a man must be fair\nand must not hit below the belt, and\nmust be prepared to furnish the necessary and official proof for any statements of charges that he made.\nA few day ago Mr, Templeman had\nsingled him out for attack and said\nthat In a speech of his (Mr. Burrell's),\nthe facts were contained in two or three\ninches, and the rest was composdd of\nstale platitudes and absurd speculations\n\u2014in fact it was the most stupid speech\nthat any politician ln British Columbia\never gave utterance to. However, because Mr. Templeman called it a Btupid\nspeech, it did not necessarily follow that\nit was so.\nA most remarkable thirffe abouth the\npresent campaign was that the Laurier\ngovernment was coming before the\ncountry and had absolutely no policy\nto present. Ail they had done was to\ntake for the most part the platform laid\ndown by Mr. Borden at Halifax, including tho rural free mall delivery and\nmore especially civic service reform. In\nfact it was his ardent desire for the latter, coupled with admiration amounting\nto affection for Mr. Borden, that had induced him to leave the peace and freedom of private life to enter this contest.\nHe wiBhed to Bee the civil service of\nthe country brought up to tbe same high\nplane that had already been established\nin Great Britain. He told that the British civil service was a model to the\nworld and had done more to build up\nthe British empire In Its scattered part3\nthan the British sword. At present, unfortunately, positions in the civil service were given as rewards to camp followers, and this proved detrimental to\nefficient woVk and an insuperable bar\nto the ambition of clean and capable\nmen.\nMr. Burrell then turned his searchlight on the Grand Trunk Pacific contract, and showed the holiowness of the\ncharge of Mr. Templeman and others\nthat the return of the conservative party\nwould be an obstruction to the completion of the construction of that road.\nOn the other hand the government had\nabused its privileges and broken its\nPledges in connection with that undertaking. They had Mr. Graham now admitting that the cost of the Grand Trunk-\nPacific In eastern Canada would be $64,-\n427 a mile, though It had originally been\nestimated that It could be put down'between Montreal nnd Toronto at a cost\nof $28,000 a mile. Mr. Gordon's estimate ot the casli liabilities Incurred In\nbuilding the road was $192,000,000.\nNeither Mr. Graham nor Mr. Fielding\nseriously disputed these figures, but\nthey said \"You must cut out the $114,-\n393,000 as the cost of construction because we can borrow that,\" and they\nsaid \"You must cut out the $10,000,000\nfor interest during construction because\nwe can add that to tbe cost of construction.\" Then they said \"You must cut\nout the $14,000,000 for the Quebec\nbridge because that would have to be\nbuilt anyhow. Then you must cut out\nthe throe and seven years interest which\nis guaranteed if the road does not pay\nbecause it will undoubtedly pay by that\ntime,\" which in view of the fact that\nthe railway was costing $63,427 a mile\nwhere It was originally estimated to\ncost $28,000 a mile. Was very unlikely\nBut they said they,, could do without\npaying the Interest because they could\nborrow the interest.\nBut why stop at that, said Mr. Burrell, why not also borrow the Interest\non the interest. If you borrow the interest it would only amount to $1,144-\n919.28. Well, I have figured it all out\nand if you borrow tlie interest on that\nyou only have to pay $34,347. Go a\nlittle further and borrow the interest\non that and you have only to pay $1,-\n930. Tlie next step is to borrow the\ninterest on that and you would only have\nlo pay $30.90 a year, and then go on\nstill further and borrow the Interest on\nthat and you just have to pay 92 cents\n(Laughter.) The more you borrow the\ness you owe. This Is the logical deduction from Mr. Graham's figures, and it\ng osrtalnty finance of a very frenzied\nThe more the question was studied\nthe more closely it could ho seen that\nall the pledges for the construction of\nthe G T p. from the Pacific coast had\nbeen broken. Mr. Templeman, goaded\nby pressure from this province had\nonce laid a resolution on the table of\n\u00bbhhT\u00b0 \"rg!\"g the com\"Myt0 so <>\u25a0>\nKiKth\u00ab \"\"\"tructlon of the road from\nthe Pacific coast; hut some mysterious\nrower had been brought to bear upon\n!. ..fi te hai! c,awed that resolution\noi tbe table, and never, introduced It\nand for four years after not a pick or\nshovel was put in the soil of British\nColumbia toward the construction of\nthat road.\nSpeaking of the Asiatic question, Mr.\nBurrell said that he was heartily in accord with other conservative candidates on thia question. He bad found in\nthe old country last year that people\nthere did not realize onr danger on this\nsubject, but they were now waking up\nto it, and he would venture to say that\nin the very near future this eastern\nquestion would be a dominant question\nfor the whole empire, but he belived\nthat in the time of trial that Britain\nwould stand by-her own. (Cheers.)\nOn the question of better terms,\nwhile Mr. Templeman had said that it\nwas dead, his opponent, Mr. Duncan\nRoss, had gone even further and said\nhe had received a return from one of\nthe departments which showed that\nBritish Columbia, instead of having any\nclaim against the province, was $5,000,-\n000 to the good In her financial relations with the rest of Canada. This\nfrom Mr. Ross, In spile of the fact that\nsir Wilfrid Laurier and the provincial\npremier, admitted that we had a claim.\nIndeed, in this matter Mr. Ross stood\nin splendid and pathetic isolation.\nMr. Burrell then turned to the election bill of last session, showing how\nutterly absurd would have been the\ngovernment's measure, especially applied to a sonstttuency like his, where\nit would have taken weeks to compile a\nspecial list, and a court of revision\nwould have been impossible under such\nconditions, in fact it would have meant\nthe virtual disfranchisement of whole\nconstituencies. He also protested vigorously against the practice of postponing\nelections in the interior constituencies,\nnot because it would alter the result ns\nfar as he was concerned, but because it\nwas a gross injustice to deprive the\nelectors of the right of oastlng their\nballots on the .same date as other electors throughout the Dominion.\nBut after all, the greatest issue now\nbefore the people was tbe moral issue.\nIt was the opportunity of the people\nto register their protest against a system of corruption that was sapping the\nmoral fibre of tho Dominion. The government supporters said that the conservatives made no specific charges\nagainst the general looseness and \"graft\"\nthat prevailed, but he could give specific Instances, and plenty of them, and lie\ngave instance afler instance, coupled\nwith Indisputable figures nnd facts.\nIncidentally, ho referred to the fact\nthat Mr. Duncan Ross was avoiding\nthose matters in his own constituency,\nand spending his time Vituperating Mr.\nBowser. **\nReferring again to tho moral aspect\nof the fight ho said: \"Sir Wilfrid\nLaurier, a short time ago, was very unfortunate in reminding his hearers of\nthe campaign of 187S, when Alexander\nMackenzie was at the head of affairs.\nWell, the conservatives did not attack\nAlexander Mackenzie, but the band of\nrobbers at his back, who he himself\nsaid were so numerous and dangerous\nthat he had to sit on the lid of the\ntreasury to keep bis friends from raiding It. And today we see that Sir\nWilfrid Laurier himself is sitting on\nthe treasury lid. but unfortunately\nhe is not so heavy as Mr. Mackenzie,\nand his followers manage to lift htm\nand get their . hands Inside. There is\nno more pntiietic sight In Canada today than that of Sir Wilfrid Laurier,\na man of stainless character appealing\nto the country to help him to reconstruct his ministry and rehabilitate his\ncolleagues. Ho is face to face with\nthe shattering of his majority and defeat in the country, which, regardless\nof party affiliations will on October\n20th refuse to further endorse the\nmaladministration of the past twelve\nyears.\" (Cheers.)\nMr. Burrell concluded with an earnest appeal for the support of the conservative party at this crucial time.\nThe meeting closed with cheers for\nMr. Borden, Mr. Burrell and Mr. Cowan.\nWhy Colds are Dangcrour.\nBecause you liavfe, contracted ordinary\ncolds and recovered from them without\ntreatment of any kind, do not for a moment imag-tne that colds are not dangerous.\nISveryone knows that pneumonia and\nchronic catarrh have their origin In a\ncommon cold. Consumption Is not caused\nby a cold but the cold prepares th. system for the reception and development of\nthe germs that would not otherwise have\nfound lodgement. It Is the some with all\nInfectious diseases. Dlptherla, scarlet fever,\nxneasels nnd whooping cough are much\nmore likely to be contracted when the\nchild haB a cold. You will see from this\nthat more real danger lurks ln a cold than\nIn any of tbe other common ailmentB.

The returning officers in these\ntwo ridings are given the same power\nto fix the date of nomination and election as is conferred upon that official\nin Kootenay. Under that authority\nthese returning officers set Wednesday,\nOctober 14, as nomination day in their\nrespective constituencies, instead of\nOct. 19 as in other ridings.\nIf these two returning officers could\ndo thia why could not Mr. Curtis have\nhad Mr. Keen do likewise? If it was\nthought that ballots could not be printed in tho shop to which this work was\ngiven and the ballot boxes distributed\nIn less than fifteen days why did he\nnot move nomination day forward sufficiently to provide this time? There\nwas nothing to prevent Mr. Keen doing\nthis and, If he had, he could have had\nhis proclamations out in ample time\nand have had everything else In proper\nshape.\nThe reason that the same course was\nnot pursued In Kootenay in regard to\nthe day of nomination as in Gaspe and\nChicoutimi-Saguenay was that Mr.\nSmith Curtis wanted the election deferred.\nSIR WILFRID FORGETS.\nSir Wilfrid Laurier speaking at one\nof his meetings during the present\ncampaign said, \"I am proud to say as\na libera] and as head of the government that, although we had a session\nlasting eight months, there was never\na chaige brought against the government,\"\nThis is most refreshing. Sir Wilfrid\nLaurier in the same speech complained\nabout the charges which the members\nof the opposition were making against\nthe government in this campaign,\nwhich he called \"scandal talk.\" Sir\nWilfrid must be very forgetful. Practically every charge which is now being made against the government was\nalso made from the floor of the house\nof commons last session, although some\no: them were discussed there at pre-.\nvious sessions.\n, How did the government meet these\ncharges in the house? By granting the\ninvestigations asked for by the opposi\ntion? No, by refusing to bring down\nthe papers which would prove the\ncharges and by upholding witnesses\nwho, in the public accounts committee,\nrefused to answer questions which\nmight reveal irregularities. The government fought investigation at every\nturn, but even then facts have come\nout which show how government hangers-on have been alowed to enrich\nthemselves at the country's expense.\nResolution after resolution asking\nfor inquiry into the matters relating to\nthe administration of the country's affairs was voted. On February 6 last,\nafter charge after charge had been\nmade against the manner in which the\ncrown lands had been handled, Sir\nWilfrid Laurier called upon his supporters in the house of commons to\nvote down the following resolution\nmoved by Mr. R. S. Lake, conservative\nmember for Qu'Appelle:\n\"That ln the opinion of this house a\ncommittee of nine members should be\nappointed to investigate, enquire Into\nand consider all matters relating to the\nalienation, granting, rental, leasing or\notherwise, of the public lands of Canada or for rights to the same, or of\ntimber thereon, and to report upon the\nmatters aforesaid to this house.\"\nSir Wilfrid's supporters did exactly\nwhat he told them to do and this resolution was defeated. The same course\nwas followed by Sir Wilfrid and the\ngovernment scores of time last session\nand the establishment of the facts beyond the shadow of a doubt thus prevented. SU11 Sir Wilfrid Is telling the\npeople that \"there never was a charge\nbrought against the government.\"\nWHY THI8 DIFFERENCE?\nFor some reason which has never\nbeen explained the present Dominion\ngovernment has consistently neglected\nthe Interests of BrltlBh Columbia. Not\nonly is this so in regard to Asiatic exclusion and better terms, but also in\nother matters. Take, for example, the\nbig bridge over the Fraser river at New\nWestminster. Not one cent did 'the Dominion contribute to this, although It\ngave a million dollar subsidy to abridge\nat Quebec which was to have been erected under similar conditions. Both were\nbridges over large rivers wholly within\na province and both were combined\nrailway and traffic bridges. The only\ndifference was that the New Westminster bridge was built as a provincial\npublic work while the one at Quebec\nwas undertaken by a private company,\nwhose assets were practically entirely\nthe municipal and government subsidies\nIt-had been promised. The people of\nBritish Columbia do not complain about\nthe government giving aid to a bridge\nln Quebec but most of them are unable\nto understand why this province is not\nentitled to equal consideration.\nWhen the company was formed Its\nmembers subscribed a total of $CG,000\ntoward the cost of the bridge, which\nwas placed at $4,000,000. The city of\nQuebec and the province of Quebec between them gave subsidies aggregating\n$350,000 and the Dominion followed this\nup with a subsidy of $1,000,000, making\na total public contribution of $1,550,000\nto an enterprise the promoters of which\nhad to put up $66,000 as their Bhare.\nThe balance of the money was to be\nsecured by debentures. In 1903, the promoters had come to the conclusion\nthat the bridge was going to cost $8,-\n000,000, Instead of half that amount,\nand they applied for additional help as\nthe company was then insolvent. It\nwas determined to make this bridge\npractically part of the new Grand Trunk\nPacific railway scheme and the government guaranteed the company's bonds\nto the extent of nearly $7,000,000, the\nonly condition being that the shareholders should put up an additional $200,000,\nmaking their total contribution-df $266,-\n000 to an $8,000,000 undertaking which\nwould be their property when completed.\nIt may be mentioned that the promoter of this enterprise was S.\" N. Parent,\nthe present chairman of the Transcontinental railway commission as which\nhe receives a salary from the Dominion\nof $10,000 per year. For years Mr.\nParent was president of the bridge company, premier of Quebec and for a time\nprovincial treasurer and also mayor of\nQuebec. As premier and provincial\ntreasurer and alsp as mayor of Quebec\nhe was paying money on account of the\nsubsidies from the province and the city\nto himself as president of the bridge\ncompany as work progressed. When his\nown supporters In'the legislature ouBted\nhim from office there sir Wilfri Laurier\nmade him chairman of the Trancontln-\nental railway commission and he has\nsince continued to hold his office as\npresident of the bridge company. All\ntold Mr. Parent has taken $24,250 out\nof the funds of the bridge company as\nsalary as president in addition to the\nsalaries he has been drawing from his\npublic positions. The major portion of\nthis came out of the money that the\nDominion government paid the company\non account of the million dollar subsidy.\nThe fate of the bridge will he remembered by all. It fell last year killing\n75 of the -workmen employed on it. As\na result the Dominion government, the\nprovince of Quebec and the city of Quebec are out the money they have paid\non aiccount of the subsidies which they\ngave and the Dominion is addition Is\nout the amount of the bonds which it\nhad actually guarantied, some four million dollars. Tlie government is now\ngoing to undertake the erection of the\nbridge which when completed will have\ncost the people of this country close\nupon $12,000,000, certainly quite a larga\nsum.\nNotwithstanding the generous manner in which the government treated\nthe Quebec Bridge company it could not\ngive any assistance whatever toward the\nbuilding of a bridge across the Fraser\nIn Athletics\nSecond Wind\n\u2014means the calling into action of the\nreserve forces of the body.

This\nundertaking the people of British. Columbia were forced to finance themselves,\nalthough the Dominion government was\nonly too willing to practically build a\nbridge as a present to Mr. Parent and\nhis friends. This Is a sample of the\nmanner In which the present Dominion\ngovernment has treated British Columbia ever since it assumed office.\nEDITORIAL NOTES.\nIf the Dominion government could afford to give one million dollars as a\nsubsidy to a private company to erect\na bridge acrosB the St. Lawrence river\nwhy was it that it could not give anything toward a bridge over the Fraser\nIn this province?\nHow Is the Dominion government going to pay for all the public works that\nIt is promising these days?\nIf returning officers in Gaspe and\nChicoutimi-Saguenay could move forward the date of nomination why could\nnot the returning officer in Kootenay\ndo likewise?

It is disheartening to find\na cabinet minister, an able and accomplished man like the postmaster gen-\nernl, hinting, in support of a candidate\nwho needed no such doubtful backing,\nat the good things the government had\ndone for the constituency and the better tilings that might be expected.\nThe case just mentioned Is not adduced because It is unique. Other and\nmuch grosser forms of tho same appeal\ncan be found in the annals of the present campaign, though perhaps from\nthe lips of less conspicuous men. Nor\nIs the practice of which we complain\nnew. It was complained of bitterly\u2014\nand justly\u2014by the party now in power\nin the days when they were in opposition.

Anxious\nmothers have looked upon the improvement In their little ones and with the\ndrouth and hot weather still upon tlie\ncountry have anxiously asked what\nmight become of all that has been ac-\nccmplished should they be compelled to\ngo back again to the disease breeding\nproduct that is sold In the shops. Tlio\nonly thing possible under the circumstances has been to continue tlie distribution until the cold weather limited to some extent, the activity of\ndisease germs. We have arranged\ntherefore to continue the milk stations\nuntil September 2(i and thus our\ncampaign or at least our tight through\nthese agencies for the lives of the poor\nchildren in this city practically ceases\n\u25a0with this issue of the Home Journal.\nBut the good work is not to pause\non this account. Our whole aim by\nthis practical demonstration of what\nmay and should be done to stay the\nprogress of this modern juggernaut\nhas been to stir up public thought\nhere and elsewhere in the endeavor of\nsecure the removal or amelioration of\nsuch fearful destruction of human life\nin this and other civilized Christian\ncommunities.\nFirst of all a word as to what tlie\ncampaign ln Toronto has meant. The\ntwo pure milk .stations in the congested districts have distributed 14,148\nhalf pint bottles of milk from healthy\ncows and delivered direct to the poor\npeople. 2,8'JO being given free tu those\nwithout sufficient means to pay for the\nmilk and the balance paid for at the\nrate of eight cents a quart, the price\nof common \"bulk\" or open milk in tho\nstores. Tho milk cost lutd down in\nthe stations eleven cents so thut a I033\nof three cents was made in every quart\nscld. At leust one hundred and fifty!\nbabies were served with the milk besides a number of consumptives who\nwere given the privilege of using it\nfree. In connection with the milk distribution ten thousand pamphlets ou\n\"How to take Care of the Baby\"\nprinted In English, Italian and Jewish\nwere put id the hands of the mothers\nand deaconesses regularly visited the\nhemes supplied with milk ns well as\ngave ad vide to the mothers and others\nGalling dally. In thia way we were\nable to se that the product got to\nwhere it was most needed and that\nthe greatest possible good resulted\nfrom its use to those receiving it.\nAt the very beginning of the season\n(July 2nd), on one of the hottest\ndays, an analytical test was made\nwithout the knowledge of those supply\nIng us, of the '\u2022certified\" milk and also some samples purchased In shops in\nthe slum district. We give the results\nherewith. The pure milk showed a butter fat content of 9.5 per cent, as\nagainst about 4 per cent. In the other\nsample taken from the Central Pure\nMilk station developing only 05,600 to\na cubic centimetre, while the samples-\nprocured from the shops ranged from\nthree millions aud a half to seven millions and a half, one being pronounced\n\"too largo to count.\" The sample of\nour pure milk was taken at the very\noutset for a comparison with shop\nmilk when our arrangements were imperfect, nevertheless the result was\nthus considerably below 100,000, the\nRochester standard for summer purity.\nSeveral tests liave since been made of\nthe pure milk alone showing much less.\nThe work has been conducted under\nmany disadvantages but lias been rich\nin results and auggestivenes as to what\nmight be accomplished under more\nfavorable conditions. With the active\nco-operation of the health department\nIt could not only be extended but made\nmore effective and we are glad to he\nable to say that Dr. Sheard the medical health officer of Toronto, who\nhas given the milk question a vaBt\namount of careful thought, has expressed himself as not only In thorough sympathy with the movement,\nbut proposes shortly to introduce a\nmeasure to the city council that will\nensure a better mill; supply. During\nthe coming month a conference will be\nheld of those interested in the campaign in Toronto for pure milk with a\nview to more definite results from the\nexperiments thnt have heen made thia\nyear and It Is hoped (hat arrangements\nmay be in shape sufficiently early to\nwarrant such an extension of these\n\"Pure Mill; Stations for the Poor\" as\nwill result in even greater results than\nhave been achieved during the past\nseason. The recent proposal to establish a civic \"cleaning plant\" for\npasteurizing milk for the poor Is not\nregarded with favor by the authorities\nwho realize that their first duty is to\nmake clean the sources of supply and\nfollowing this the means and method\nof delivering. The city might as well\nundertake to draw drinking water\nfrom the sewerage laden waters of the\nbay and purify it as to encourage the\nbringing of filthy milk from the four\nquarters of the compass and thus endeavor to atone for the carelessness\nnnd greed of its producers hy public\ncleansing. \u25a0\nIt ought to he one of the simplest\nthings in the world to ensure a pure\nmjlk supply tor any city like Montreal\nor Toronto. The key to the situation\nIf tlie licensing and inspection not only\nof delivery depots and conveyances but\n02 the farms whence the product comes.\nLet the license Tees be sufficiently large\nto cover effective inspection. In Winnipeg the charge is ten dollars a rig\niuifi a dollar a head on the dairy\ncews with a further yearly license on\nstores selling. Milk Funds are thus\nprovided for a thorough Inspection of\nall farms, dairies and distributing depots. If the cows are healthy, the\nsurroundings clean, tho milk immediately cooled to 50 degrees or less\nand sealed either in sterilized bottles\nor cans almost the entire danger of\nconveying disease through milk to\nthose unable to fight off the evil effects\nof disease germs will be removed.\nThe government of this country goes\nto enormous trouble and expense to\nprotect the people against bad whiskey\nand most ingenious methods have been\nadopted to detect and punish adulteration. Bad or even good whiskey may\nkill a man in twenty of thirty years but\ndirty milk will kill a child in a few\nhours, It kills thousands of them\nevery summer of the well to do as. well\nas the poor, and yet the government\nseems able to do no more than once a\nyear publish analytical reports showing the variation of milk in butter fat\nand solids In various parts of the\ncountry.\nRADICAL DEPARTURE\nEmperor of China Receives the Officers\nof American Battleships.\nTOKIO, Oct. 20\u2014The most significant event In the visit of the American\nfleet to Japan took place today when\nrear admiral Sperry, his flag officers\nand the captains and commanders of\nthe sixteen battleships were presented\nto the emperor and empress under circumstances evidencing a radical departure from ali court precedents in\norder to do favors to the Americans.\nThe emperor of Japan, at luncheon\n\u25a0today received in audience rear admiral\nCharles H, Sperry, commander in chief\nof the American battleship fleet, the\nthree rear admirals commanding divisions, a score of captains and the chief\nof staff and flag lieutenants. The ceremony at the Imperial palace, which\noccurred shortly before noon, was one\n0\" the most brilliant features of the\nweek's celebration.\nCanada in Fiction and Fact.\nCanada-West for October has a\nstriking article by Arthur Stringer, in\nwhich the authors who. make a specialty of Canadian stories are shown ln\ntheir faults. Kipling, Sir Gilbert Parker, Jack London, Stewart Edward\nWhite, Rex Beach, Richard Harding\nDavis, William DeMorgan and several\nother eminent writers who have heen\nexploiting Canada as a barren waste\nof perpetual snows populated by a\nsparse mixture of heroes and men and\nwomen of very hard morals or no morals whatever,- are quoted freely and\ntheir misconceptions shown, in contrast with the Canada of fact. The\narticle discloses in sharp relief an ignorance of climate, geography, history,\nlaw, and pretty much everything else\nrelating to Canada, on the part of\nthese and other distinguished gentlemen\u2014and some' almost equally distinguished women.
