No. 13\nTHE WEEK, SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 1910\n=F\nJCTQR\I\. &\n__%Ovii Dowar Per Annum\n|UDGE LAMPMAN'S REPORT\nJudge Lampman, the Commissioner\nIppointed by the Provincial Government\ninvestigate certain charges preferred\ngainst the Police Commissioners by the\nVictoria Times, and incidentally to en-\nluire into matters affecting the Police ad-\nliinistration, has handed in his report.\nIll the findings pertinent to the specified\npork of the Commission have been pub-\n(shed; certain opinions of the Commis-\nloner upon matters not directly within the\nhope of the Enquiry, but arising there-\n[\u00E2\u0080\u00A2om, have been withheld from publication\nwhat The Week ventures to. think is the\nlise discretion of the Government. The\nlimes is clamouring for publication of\nlery detail, and very disingenuously sug-\npsts that the suppressed paragraphs refect Upon the Police or the Police Com-\nlissioners. No other paper but the Times\nould have the gracelessness to make such\nI suggestion after what has taken place;\njit the Liberal organ has fallen down so\nIdly in the matter of its charges that no\nIrprise will be felt at its present atti-\n|de. Apart from the fact that opinions\nthe social evil, even from Judge Lamp-\nIan, would hardly furnish fireside read-\nIg, it must be borne in mind that the\npmmissioner himself might reasonably\nIject to obtruding his views on such a\nllicate subject upon the public notice,\ndirecting attention to this point the\nfines is simply drawing attention from\nown failure to make good the charges\n(inch it so freely bandied about in its\nllumns for some weeks before the Com-\nlission was appointed. What were those\njiarges Specifically, that the Police Com-\nlissioners had been guilty of conduct in\npnnection with gambling and houses of\nprostitution which involved malfeasance\na public office, and disentitled them to\nle confidence of the community. But the\nliarges went further; they alleged that the\nlonservative Party had formed an organ-\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0lation which might be called a local Tam-\nlany, and that the Party, through this\nlammany, received the product of graft\nlid illgotten gains arising from the active\n|)-operation, or the supineness, of the Po-\nce Commissioners in connection with\nambling and houses of prostitution. It\nfill be seen from this that the Times\n[as, as usual, more intent upon trying to\nlake political capital than in exposing\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0legality, or in remedying its evil conse-\nliiences. At any rate, these were the\nliarges. When placed in tlie witness box,\nlie editor of the Times had to admit, as\nTeryone knew, that ho had no personal\nliowledge of the matters complained of,\nliat he depended upon information furn-\nIhed by a well-known citizen (who gave\nTidenco during thc case), and upon genial rumour. If tlie Times had confined\nj_elf to repeating what its informant said,\nlithout adding thereto its own imputa-\non of motives, it would at least have\nline out of the investigation without dis-\nledit. Of course, it is the duty of an\nliter to weigh the value of statements,\nId to publish them only when he is readably satisfied that they are true; and\nj the present instance it may be admitted\nat the person from whom the editor of\nTimes derived his information is noxiously better posted on the subject than\nly man in the city, and therefore the\nTiter of the Times was justified in rely\ning upon his statements, but this informant had nothing to say about the local\n\"Tammany,\" and the implication of the\nConservative Party in the particular species of graft referred to. This was an addition of the editor, it is where he showed\nthe cloven hoof, and where he becomes disentitled to any consideration now that the\nfindings of the Commissioner have entirely\ndiscredited his charges. Judge Lampman\nfinds that the Commissioners leave the\nCourt with clean hands, that no suspicion\nwhatever attaches to them, and that there\nis no evidence which implicates other persons. This shatters tho Times' unlimited\nfunds for the Conservative organization\nderived from illicit trafficking in vice. It\nis perhaps unnecessary to say that such an\nidea could not have entered the head of\nany man in Victoria but the editor of the\nTimes. This exhausts the specific findings\nof the Commissioner, but it by no means\nexhausts the matters touched upon during\nthe hearing in which the public has a very\ndefinite interest. The Week shared with\nthe Times the responsibility of suggesting\na Commission; it did so from practically\nthe same evidence; but it refrained from\nindulging in imputations against any persons, and expressed the belief, before the\nCommission was appointed, that the Police Commissioners themselves were free\nfrom blame. All that The Week stated'\nwas proved in Court to the satisfaction\nof those who heard the evidence. Where\nthe case fell down was in failing to carry\nthe charges to any particular person. With\nrespect to gambling it, was shown that in\n1907, when Mayor Morley was the self-\nnominated Apostle of a social purity campaign, and while he was. harrassing, and\neven persecuting, all the saloon men,\nChinatown was running wide:open\u00E2\u0080\u0094in\nfact, more wide-open than it had run for\nsome years. It was shown that although\nthere was a pretence at that time of forming a \"restricted district\" and forcing all\nthe disorderly houses into one locality, the\nmost notorious woman in town opened up\nnegotiations with the Mayor, and as a result was able to retain her house outside\nthe restricted district. It was also proved\nthat two other notorious houses have been\nallowed to continue tlieir business up town,\nin the centre of the business district. It\nwas proved that gambling had been carried on in Chinatown, and also by several\nprofessional white gamblers, during the\npresent year, and since Mayor Morley\nstarted his \"moral suasion\" campaign\namong the leading Chinese merchants.\nThe evidence of Detective Clayards\u00E2\u0080\u0094than\nwhom a more truthful man does not exist\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094satisfied all who heard him that if the\ntruth could be exposed it would be found\nthat gamblers were undoubtedly paying\nsomeone for the privilege of law-breaking.\nIt was proved that the tenants of disorderly houses were paying fabulous rents, ranging as The Week specifically stated before the enquiry began, from $200 to $500\na month; and one scoundrel was proved\nto be receiving $1,000 a month rental for\nfive wooden shacks which would not be\nworth $100 for any legitimate purpose.\nIf the confirmation of these statements,\nwhich The Week undertook to publish,\ndoes not justify the appointment of the\nCommission, nothing would. The mere\nfailure to trace the guilt to individuals is\nof far less importance than to have demonstrated a condition of things which is\na disgrace to any civilized community,\nand which is in every sense inimical to\nthe public interest. Now that the facts\nare known, public opinion will demand\nthat a remedy be applied. On the subject of a restricted district The Week has\nnothing to add to what it has been forced\nto say on several occasions, but it ventures\nto think that the following positive results must follow the revelations which\nhave been made: A stop must be put\nto the extortion of fabulous sums from\nthe unfortunate keepers of disorderly\nhouses under the pretext of rent; there\nmust be no making fish of one and fowl\nof another, if there is to be a restricted\ndistrict all disorderly houses must be compelled to stay within it, and the disgrace\nof such places being dotted about in business and residential sections of the city\nmust at once be removed; and with respect\nto gambling, there must be no removing\nof the bandages from the eyes of Justice\nin order to see whether the offender is a\nwhite man or a yellow man before the police raid is made. The Chinaman has as\nmuch right to break the law as the white\nman, and neither has any such right; but\nit is an anomaly which common sense and\nintelligence will refuse to recognize that\nthe properly organized and registered clubs\nof Chinatown should be raided, while the\nno less notorious law-breaking institutions\nup-town are allowed to flourish.\nHORSE RACING\nMr. Geo. A. Fraser, the Managing\nDirector of the Country Club, announces\nthat he has arranged for a six-day race\nmeeting at the Agricultural Grounds the\nlast week in M'ay. The announcement has\nbeen received with gratification by the citizens of Victoria, or at any rate by the vast\nmajority who desire to participate in a\nlittle innocent and entertaining recreation.\nNo lover of the sport wished to see another sixty days' meet, and many lovers\nof the sport, including The Week, would\nhave been glad if professional betting had\nbeen rendered illegal; but in this best of\nall worlds, no one can have his own way\nall the time, and on the principle that half\na loaf is better than no bread, moral reformers ought to be glad that the race\nmeeting has been cut down to a reasonable\nlength, and that it will be under the control of a man of the character and status\nof Mr. Fraser. By another year, it is probable that professional betting will have\nreceived its quietus, and that the Paris\nMutuelle system will have been legalized\nthroughout the Dominion. Meanwhile, it\nmay be taken for granted that the May\nmeeting will be a credit to all concerned;\nand if any member of the community, or\nany editor of a family journal, is so weak-\nkneed that he cannot attend the race meeting without falling from grace, tliere will\nbe nothing to prevent him from staying\nat home while all Victoria is enjoying\nitself at the Agricultural Grounds. In\nthis connection, it may be well to point out\ntliat the respected editor of the Colonist\nis objecting to the race meeting, not on\nmoral but on financial grounds. Presumably, he would be in its favour if tho\nCity made a pecuniary gain. Thc Week\ndoes not think that the ground is wt__\nchosen, for not long ago the Colonist itself\nwas arguing that the benefits which a\ncommunity derived from a good theatre,\nfor instance, was not entirely a matter\nof dollars and cents; ancl it should remember that there are many people in\nour midst who have conscientious scruples\nagainst theatre-going. But The Week\nwould respectfully point out, on the authority of the Directors of the Country\nClub, that there is something wofully\nwrong with the Colonist's arthmetic. While\nit carefully under-estimates every item on\nthe credit side\u00E2\u0080\u0094such as the cost of feeding\nmen and horses\u00E2\u0080\u0094and while it states the\nnumber of horses at exaotly half the num\nber actually here, it multiplies the supposed winnings of the bookmakers by\ntwenty, or thereabouts. The Week is officially informed that the Club's book did\nnot win more than $5,000, and that this\nrepresents a larger winning than the average of the professional books. Of the\nlatter, there were not more than eight in\nconstant operation; so that $40,000 would\nrepresent the total winnings of the professional bookmakers. The Directors of\nthe Country Club have placed themselves\non record in support of this statement. In\norder to make out his case against the\nmeeting, the editor of the Colonist has to\nassume the enormous total of $840,000\ngross, or $672,000 net. Who is likely to\nknow best\u00E2\u0080\u0094the Gauntry Club, or the editor\nof the Colonist? If the case against the\nmeeting has to be bolstered up by such\ngrotesque exaggerations the lovers of the\n\"Sport of Kings\" need have little fear of\nlosing their recreation.\nTHE PUBLIC HIGHWAY\nSome thousands of people will have\nread the admirable letter of Mr. Clive\nPhillipps-Wolley which appeared in the\nColonist a. few days ago. He told of what\nmight have been a catastrophe at Duncan, on Sunday last, when two hair-\nbrained motor-cyclists ran amuck on a\ncountry road, just as people were returning from church. The Week has always\nbeen a friend of the motor car and the\ncycle; it believes that both are indispensable in this age of high-speed living; but\nit does not believe that the old-time adage,\n' live and let live,\" is obsolete and unless\npeaceful citizens are to take the law into\ntheir own hands the Police will have to\nexercise greater vigilance in detecting\nscorchers, and the magistrates will have\nto impose more exemplary sentences. No\none wishes to curtail the pleasures of the\nautomobilist or the cyclist, so long as he\nexercises due regard for the public safety;\nbut in and around Victoria such regard\nis conspicuous by its absence. The Week\nhas a suggestion to make; it is that the\nnumbers should be placed at the front and\nthe back of the car, and in such a position that a lamp shall show them up\nwhen the car is running at night. It is the\nget-away speed of the automobilist which\nconstitutes him a public danger; and it is\nmanifestly unfair to those of his own cult\nwho exercise due caution that he should be\nallowed to place the whole fraternity under\na cloud.\nTHE FOOD QUESTION\nThings move rapidly in the West. It\nis not necessary to look backAvard ten years\nto note phenomenal development; indeed,\neven three years would chronicle an expansion of business and population in Victoria ancl Vancouver which few realize.\nTime was when the talk of a Transcontinental railway through British Columbia sounded like a fairy tale; now we arc\nin the throes of the agitation consequent\nupon building two, ancl contemplating two\nor three others. Meanwhile, the population of Vancouver is increasing by leaps\nancl bounds; it has jumped from 25,000\nat last census to at least 100,000, and\nVictoria has started the same gait. The\nWeek respectfully ventures to suggest that\nthe problem of the near future will be\nhow to feed these people, and no preparation is bing made except to import costly\nfood from a country which is rapidly\nexporting its own food-producers. Here\nis ground for serious reflection.

I saw a\nwaggon covered with wire, and inside\nthe vehicle about half a dozen poor\nwretched dogs of all breeds and sizes.\nI thought at first that a travelling\nmenagerie was passing through the\ntown, and looked round for the elephants and monkeys. At the back of\nthe cart a man was seated armed with\nwhat looked like an elongated butterfly net to secure thc unfortunate\ncanines whose masters thought so\nlittle of their pets as to omit to take\nout the necessary passport to protect them from such an indignity.\nThis tax is $2 a year. I say nothing\nagainst the tax itself; it is necessary,\nand protects the dog's owner, but I\ndo think some other means of enforcing it might be employed than chasing poor wretched animals through\nthe streets in this manner. In some\ncases they scare thc life out of inoffensive dogs only to find out when\nsecured that the.tag is attached to the\ncollar. Thc animals are released but\nnot before being thoroughly frightened. To add to their misery a band\nof small boys throwing things at the\ndogs to make them run away from\ntheir would-be captors, only added to\nthe poor creatures' discomfort.\n* * *\nThe water cart is a refreshing object nowadays. This huge barrel\nperched on wheels looks as if it\nought to be filled with beer. Just\nimagine if it was, chasing it down\nthe street with a milk can under one\narm, and an umbrella under the other.\nIf Miss Carrie Nation was on the\nVictoria Council, probably, it would\nbe beer, as it would be in keeping\nwith her ideas of the fitness of things\nto . prinkle \"the horrid stuff\" from all\nthe saloons in the Town onto the\nroadway, and follow along behind joyously dancing a can-can, and brandishing her saloon scalping tomahawk\nin thc air, to the accompaniment of\n\"Come and have a tidley at the\nFountain.\"\n* * *\nThere is a perilous place in Government Street where thc building of the\nnew Royal Bank of Canada is being\nerected, and another further up the\nstreet on the same side. In both\ncases thc hoarding comes out well into thc roadway in close proximity to\nthe car line and although one hears\nthe bell of the approaching car one\ndoes not realize how close thc car\nreally is, in. passing. When two or\nthree people are passing at once it\ncongests the available space still further, and if the step of the car in motion caught one the result would be\ndisastrous. The other day whilst\nwalking by this spot, accompanied by\nmy joyful hound, I got mixed up in\na crowd who were all in a hurry to\nget by at once, there was an elderly\nfemale, a man on a bicycle, and a boy\nwith a basket of eggs. No one seemed inclined to wait whilst the rest\npassed\u00E2\u0080\u0094the bicycle wobbled, the\neggs looked like \"omletting\" on the\nroad and the elderly female who was\nnot of slender build, looked askance\nfirst at the car and then at her own\nample proportions, but we all got\nthrough by a short head.\n* * *\nI notice that thc orchestra at the\nVictoria Theatre disappears at the\nconclusion of each act under the\nstage, instead of regaling the audience with musical selections. I always thought that was mainly what\nthe orchestra was there for, but apparently it is not so, and the audience\nsit in a hushed expectancy with no\nmusic waiting for thc curtain to go\nup, and speculating as to whether Angela who at the close of the preceding\nact was on the verge of suicide has\nthought better of it and will be seen\nas the curtain rises in the act of laying the breakfast table for another\nawful day.\nVictoria seems to bc a great place\nfor dandelions.

The\nbenedict-to-be should see that his bride experiences the joy of a stove that is\nalways ready, an oven that is always right and a heat that can be regulated\nscientifically without trouble.\nHome comfort cannot be assured with coal or wood\nfires for cooking purposes. Don't cook the cook over\na red-hot range on a warm summer's day. Avoid this\nby cooking with gas; just a turn of the tap\u00E2\u0080\u0094no\nworry, no work, no waste of fuel or time. Gas\nmakes home comfortable in summer and winter. It\nmakes work light so that the housewife has more\ntime for recreation.\nA Gas Range means that you can cook any meal\nof the day, summer or winter, with ease and comfort. Let one of our men set up a gas range in\nyour kitchen and you will find that you have the\nmost modern and convenient cooking apparatus of\nthe age. The cost of maintenance is far less than\nfor a coal range.\nAVE WOULD LIKE YOU TO CALL AND SEE OUR FINE NEW STOCK OF GAS RANGES AND STOVES.\nEASY PAYMENTS IF DESIRED.\nThe Victoria Gas Co.\nLIMITED\nCor.

Randolph-Lichfield)\nIt was just past eight when my\nfountain-pen ran dry. A small matter, you may say, seeing that there\nwere half-a-dozen ordinary pens in\nthe tray on the desk at which I was\nworking, and an ink-pot stood within\neasy reach of my hand; but it broke\nthe continuity of my thoughts, and\ngave me pause to consider how dog-\ntired I was mentally and sick of the\nwork in hand. And I dashed my pen\ndown on an impulse of nervous excitement, and, pushing back my chair,\nrose with such an exclamation as I\nwas glad there was no one in the office to hear.\nQuite as suddenly, of course, I recovered my senses, and then I naturally felt ashamed of my weakness and\nirritability, and sought to excuse myself with the reflection that on four\nconsecutive evenings I had stuck to\nmy desk, long after my staff had left,\nwrestling with the intricate details of\na subject so dry that all its points\nseem to crumble up in my mind every\ntime I passed to survey it generally.\nHowever, I had determined to complete the task that night or die of\nneuasthenia in the attempt; and,\nsquaring my shoulders manfully, I sat\ndown again at my desk.\nJust then, out of the silence which\nseemed to hang like a fog in the\ngreat pile of offices, on the fourth\nfloor of which my rooms were situated, a sharp, metallic note leapt\nstartlingly from behind me. It was\nthe telephone.\nI fear I rapped out an oath before\nI realised it could only be my wife\nwho had rung me up at the office at\nsuch a late hour; and, jumping up, I\nwent to the instrument on the wall\nbehind my desk.\n\"When might you be returning to\n\"The Store That Serves You Best\"\nGood as Mother Made\nRhubarb Pie, and Apple Mince Pie, each 15c\nMince Tarts, per dozen 20c\nFruit Squares, per dozen ioc\nFruit Cakes, each 25c\nMadeira Cakes, each 25c\nLayer Cakes, each 25c\nSultana and Rich Fruit Cake, per lb 25c\nJelly Rolls, each 20c\nCup Cakes, per dozen 15c\nLady Fingers, 2 dozen 25c\nDough Nuts, 2 dozen 25c\nCrescent Cakes, 2 dozen 25c\nBoston Brown and Whole Wheat Bread, per loaf ioc\nCrumpets, per dozen 20c\n\"Dixi\" Plum Puddings, (delicious) each $1.25 and $1.00\nDIXI H.

There\nwas an odd look in his eyes and a set\nexpression about his mouth which\nstruck me queerly the moment I saw\nhim. He regarded me penetratingly,\nwith a look of dull wonder, and nervously brushed his left sleeve with\nhis right hand, as if to disguise his\nembarrassment.\n(To be continued)\nThe Real Mackay\nA CHEAP BUY\nFor Sale\n250 Cases or Thereby\nSANDY MACKAY\nFine Old Highland Malt Whiskey\nGUARANTEED\nSeven Years Old in Wood\n$9.00 A CASE\nOr $4.84 in Bond\nJames Simpson & Sons, Ltd., Distillers, of Sandy Mackay and Old\nBanff Whiskies, the Distillery, Banff, Scotland.\nVictoria Office, 535 Yates St.\nTelephone 288\nVOICES\nWhen the Sun lights up the Sky\nFrom its diadem on high,\nAnd darkness rolls its canopy away.\nWhen the whisper of the breeze\nMakes a rustling in the trees\n'Tis the whisper of the Day.\nWhen the petals green unfurl\nAnd the Daffodils uncurl,\nAnd take their kiss of passion from the\nSun.\nWhen the whispering in the grass\nAs spirits softly pass\n'Tis the whisper of the Noon.\nWhen the sun sinks down to rest\nIn the golden, glowing West.\nThe twilight fades, and stars begin to\npeep,\nWhen the whisper of the corn\nSounds forsaken and forlorn\n'Tis the whisper of the Night-Tom Tit\nCAPE CAUTION, COAST DISTRIC\nNOTICE is hereby given that, thii\ndays after date, the undersigned inter,\nto apply to the Chief Commissioner\nLands for licenses to prospect for C<\nand Petroleum over the following\nscribed Iands, situate at Cape Cautl\nRange 2, District of Coast:\u00E2\u0080\u0094Comme!\ning at a post planted about 2% mi\nwest and half a mile south from sou\nwest corner of T.
