Rogers, Successful Business Man I\nfrtHILE we have never had the pleasure of meeting Mr.\n^^ B. T. Rogers, his friends say that he is quite an ordinary gentleman, iro better and no worse than the average.\nIt seems, though, that the fact that Rogers has several million dollars to his credit in the banks, marks him out for attack from all sides.\n*j The charge made recently that thc British Columbia Sugar Refinery, controlled by Mr. Rogers, has been manipulating food prices, has received wide publicity. Most of\nihe criticism has been made without hearing the case for\n:he refinery. Recently a company lobbying the Provincial\nMinisters for land concessions in Interior British Columbia, where they plan to build a sugar refinery to handle\n-mgar beets, made the charge that the local sugar refinery\nwas using its influence to buck the new project. This is a\nridiculous suggestion, but nevertheless, widely circulated.\n'\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD We believe that Mr. B. T. Rogers has all along taken full\nadvantage of the high tariff which nurtures monopolies.\nIf he has, he has only displayed good business sense. Being\na monopoly, he has wide powers in fixing sugar prices and\nplay or may not be manipulating the market to his own advantage.\nf But we believe that the chief grievance some people have\nagainst this industrial king is that he has made more money\nduring his twenty odd years residence here than most of\nliis neighbors. lie has found opportunities} in British Columbia which thousands of others have overlooked. He has\nbuilt up a gigantic industry here while others with the same\nchances went broke. He works while many others loaf and\ntalk politics. He is out busy in the markets while some of\nthe gentlemen who would be his competitors are trying to\nget up on the blind side of the politicians.\nfi The STANDARD is opposed to the high tariff which\nprotects the Rogers industry as well as the high fence\n. which will enclose his magnificent grounds in Point Grey;\nbut we must confess that we admire the energy, the aggressiveness, the industry, the will power, and the business\nability of this man whose business success in this city\nshould be an inspiration to every young man.\nThe Standard Will Help\nWar Dance\nTHE STANDARD is out to\nhelp the boys behind the Patriotic\nCelebration of May 2nd, 3rd, 4th\nand 5th.\nQ Next week will be a\nWar Dance Number\nHelp along the War Dance by\nmailing copies of THE STANDARD to outside friends.\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDiilli)\nmum\nf#>\nfi WHEN\" IT CAME to selecting a chairman of the Ways\nand Means Committee, again they had to turn to the Highland Scotch, whateffer.

He is the man who looks after\n\"getting things from where they are to where they should\nbe\" at the house of Kelly-Douglas.\nfi MUCH OF THE SUCCESS of the recent Rotary Con^\nference in Vancouver is due to Mr. A- R.

What is wanted is the establishment of a tribunal, somewhat after the plan of the\nRailway Commission, before which the producing and\ndistributing Interests of .the country would have a right to\ngo to answer charges affecting their own business, a. court\nwhere questions relative to price raising, formation of\ncombines, etc., could be thrashed out instead of being\nbrought into the common courts of the country as is thc\ncase at present. Such a tribunal as is proposed would report to the Government the merits of cases brought before\nit and that report could be sent to the Attorney General\nof the province concerned, who would thus have before\nhim the results of capable preliminary examination as a\nguide, to prosecutions. L'ndcr our present system, important business details are frequently made public, and in\nsome cases warranted odium thus attaches to the merchants involved.\nThe delegation also opposed the methods at present adopted in the investigation of the high cost of living.\nSir George Foster, replying, asked that practical suggestions be submitted.\nTRADE WITH SIBERIA\nAfter reading the reports from Canadian Trade Cim-\nmissioncr Wilgress from Omsk, Siberia, on tbe opportunities fur Canadian producers in thc Siberian market, one\ncannot refrain from thinking that the development of thai\nvast market requires too close attention for the Canadian\nex-porter. These reports have been appearing in the\nWeekly Bulletin, published by the Department of Trade\nand Commerce, Throughout them all Mr. Wilgress emphasizes the wonderful potentialities of Siberia, thc trend\ntoward development of these resources, and the opportunity open to Canadian manufacturers In assisting that development. But the great difficulty of transportation is\nthe item of paramount importance. The country is but\npoorly served with railroads, aud although the rivers are\ngenerally navigable they all flow toward the Arctic and\ntherefore are ice-locked for the greater part of each year.\nMr. Wilgress has pointed out that the agricultural possibilities of Siberia in the production of dairy produets and\nsni_.11 meats; the great forest resources awaiting development, and'the1 wonderful mineral wealth of the cquhtfy.\nAnd iu thC development of all these he sees an opportunity\nfor Canadians. But surely that opportunity will rest with\nthe country which is in a position to provide,llie vast sums.\nof money that will be needed iu the development. Siberia\ntoday is sparsely settled. It has no banking facilities to\nspcalf of. nor has Canada that great army of tramp traders\navailable to ferret out the profitable part of the trade,\nNo, there are a few lilies in which Canadian manufacturers may hope for some trade with Siberia, but the field is\ntoo difficult for a country that is only beginning to acquire\njfurei_.ii markets. Canada herself still imports too much\n| of the goods that Siberia will require to expect to be able\nIto compete in the Siberian markets, One cannol help\nthinking that the undisputed ability of our Siberian Trade\nCommissioner i- being wasted, Much better ii would bc to\nuse bis talent in some more promising field.\nTHE STEAM LAUNDRY BUSINESS\nThe high cost of living has touched most commodities,\nbut our Chinamen continue to do up our laundry at prewar prices. This feat is of greater moment than at first\nappears. In common with the Chinamen, the steam laundries, of which dozens have sprung up throughout the\ncountry during the last few years, are paying greatly advanced prices for their soap, soda, 'machinery and other\nmaterials, but in competition with the Chinamen who have\nnot advanced their prices the steam laundries are finding\nit increasingly difficult to make their businesses pay. They\nhave waged relentless warfare on the Chinamen during recent years, but the Chinks arc now having their innings.\nTheir overhead is small: it simply means a slight reduction in their profits, but the situation has forced a number\nof our largest steam laundries to the wall. Where it will\nend depends upon the length of time prices remain at\ntheir present high level. The agitation against Chinese\nhand-laundries is more bitter than ever, but it is a question\nwhether public opinion will ever demand the abolition of\nthe genial Chink from the business, The charge of unsanitary conditions in the band laundries made a few years\nago by the combined steam laundries was disproved and\nreally it will be hard to beat the honest and efficient service rendered by the Chinamen.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDJournal of Commerce.\nCOST OF BAD ROADS\nA company in Stanislaus county. California, that buys\nskimmed milk from the farmer has demonstrated to tbe\nrurrtl residents in an emphatic manner the value of good\nroads to them. This company sends trucks directly to the\nfarms to collect the skimmed milk, but it pays higher prices\nto farmers living on good roads than on bad roads. On\npoor roads the company pays 17 1-2 cents per 100 pounds,\nbut on good roads it pays 20 cents. Of course, the farmer\nalways has been paying tbis tax on every hundred pounds\nhe hauled over bad roads and he has been relieved of il\non every hundred pounds Ile had hauled over good roads,\nbut that fact has not been brought to his notice as in the\ncase cited.

This is a condition which must bc\nfaced and for which several remedies have already been\nproposed. That the canal will eventually prove self-supporting Is generally believed, but an increase in tolls would\nbe necessary to meet temporary unusual expenditures.\nTbe canal was opened to commercial traffic on August\n15, 1914, and in the Iwo years to August 14. 1016. 2,087\nships made the transit.

England, against high prices. The opposition arose over a question of potatoes. Farmers from\nthe countryside had been demanding exorbitant prices for\ntheir potatoes, in spite of the existence of a Government\nprice of Is. per stone; so the women took the matter in\nhand. The town bellman was first sent rouivd to warn\npeople not to pay more than the official price, and then,\nwhen thc farmers had taken up their stand in the market\nplace, crowds of women came a-marketiug, and insisted\non the potato?* being sold at the proper price and no\nother. The protest was effective. Such united action\nserves the double purpose of securing justice and, at thc\nsame time, removing a temptation all too frequently ex-!\nperienced by those who have anything to sell.

The Ideals set up by\nthe school teacher remain very\nlargely the ideals of the pupil throughout life, and his conception of patriot-\nIsm will be what he has been taught\nduring his school years. It is not too\nmuch to say that the present world\nwar is due to a difference of Ideals\nfostered ly different systems of'education.\nGrer.t as Is the importance of the\npublic school In old and well established countries, this Importance is\neven greater in the new lauds which\nare being called upon to assimilate\npopulations from the more congested\ncountries. It is worthy.of note that\nin Western Canada, which may be\ncited as a ease in point of a country\nwhich Is called upon to assimilate a\npopulation of mauy races. Some of the\nmost strenuous political and constitutional fights have hinged upon the\nsystems of public education. These\nfights, however, were not without\ntheir purpose, and it is out of them\nbas arisen a public school policy well\ncalculated to meet the needs of a new\nand rapidly growing country. In such\na country tbe public school has to\ntnkp on functions not usually assocl-\na* d with it in the older and more\ndenjfly settled communities. The\nprairie sehoolhonse is not merely a\ncentre of education; it Is also the religion- and social centre of the district. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD During the week days the\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDchooi teacher furnishes education to\n year had been a\n ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ most successful one fur the club, and\ncality of the co-operative idea as it j judging from the outlook the ro\nthe children of the neighborhood, but the report of the inspector of school\non Sunday the missionary holds his I In thc Provlme of Alberta, althoug\nservices, which all attend regardless ; this\nschool library\nof creed or nationality, and on week\nnights the building is used for meetings of farmers, for the various community societies; for the Red Cross\nor Patriotic Club, and for purely social events such *s debates, concerts\nand dances. To facilitate the latter,\nit may be noted that many country\nschoolhouses use removable desks\nwhich the willing hands of the farmers' boys quickly dispose of whenever\nthere is a dance in prospect.\nAnother phase of community work\nassociated with the rural school\nwhich has been coming into promin\nenee during the last few years is the\nsupply ot books to settlers In the district. This work is encouraged and\nassisted by the central Department of\nEducation, which provides catalogues\not books suitable for such purposes,\nthe actual selection being left to the\nteacher, f The number of books allotted to a school district is based on\n Kto .'ement \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\nonly in its infancy, no 'less than\n110,000 books were supplied ior\nthis purpose last year, at a i ost\ncf some JUO.OOO.OO.

It is. however,\ncoming to be recognized that it is not\nwomen's work: that women have displayed a peculiar aptitude iu many\ndirections, such, for instance, as looking after stock, pruning fruit trees,\nand so on; and that to take a woman\nfrom these employments and put her\nto plowing is an entirely wrong apportionment of labor. It is the skilled work on farms, as one authority\nlias put it. for which women are fitted.\nTo set them to a laborer's job is simply to waste their capabilities.\nAnother notable feature of the work\nis the way in which the idea ul the\nsmall holding bas been developed.\nThe small holder is quite independent.\nThe chief feature in Russian charac\nter \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD 1 speak of the masses, for the\nclasses are not'unlike those of other\ncountries, i. e., somewhat loose and\n)ng[cynical-r-is the presence of \"Soul.\"\ncan,flic character is genuinely religious.\nne is ashamed of his or her\nIn olden days the Church provided\nthe people with Festivals, and the\nMaster of the Revels was an important personage\nlo learn (religion, even though the intellectuals\nire often fottpd to be able to I may qua|jfy their belief with the conviction that anyhow it is politically\nuseful.
