HUT6 c^&Ea CHINOOK Vol. II, No. 13. VANCOUVER, B.C., CANADA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 9. 1913 Price 5 cents BRILLIANT PRESIDENT PROVINCIAL LIBERALS SETS HEATHER AFIRE IN SOUTH VANCOUVER Youngest Member of the ��^T Clan MacDonald in Canadian Public Life Scores McBride's Administration���Refers to Matson's Takings of $45,000��� Urges United Front- Receives Good Reception Mr. Malcolm Archibald Macdonald. who was picked out by Sir Wilfrid Laurier as one of the rising men in the Liberal party in the West, and president of the Provincial Liberal Association of British Columbia, spoke to the people of South Vancouver at Kalenberg Hall on Monday night, when a most successful Liberal meeting was held. Organization should be the watchword of local Liberals, Mr. Macdonald declared, and he predicted that the present administration in British Columbia would seioii read) the climax of its career, and that the downward movement would be rapid. Though the president of a large Liberal organization, Mr. Macdonald counselled the people of South Vancuuver not to stick out for their party, but rather for good, clean government lirst, last and always. Cuing over the history of the McBride administration, Mr. Macdonald dealt emly with the features of it wilh which he was familiar. Ile had lived in (lie constituency of Cran- liriink feer many years. There was at ��� me lime a Liberal representing Cran- brook in the Legislature at Victoria. So long as that Liberal was the constituency's representative, the government .spent no money in the Cran- liiook district. In nearby districts, however, where Conservatives bad tlie upper hand, money was spent freely. So llie people of Cranbrook were inlil In 'be cohorts of the government that if they would have road improvements and the like in their disirict, they would do well tn send a Conservative lo the Legislature. The Conservative was sent and ever since there has been a terrible waste in the spending of money in Cran- lirook. Mr. Macdonald declared that the men who ran the Upper Country were the road bosses and the Provincial servants generally. There, servants of the government went about with a voters' list in their hip pockets. They employed men according to thc reading of that list. In fact. Mr. Macdonald declared, they had the Upper Country completely tied up in this way. He pointed out cases where hundreds e,f thousands of dollars were being spent building roads that paralleled each other just for the sake of providing work for thc faithful. Regarding the famous Matson takings of $45,000 or more in connection with the Songhees Reserve purchase at Victoria, Mr. Macdonald had much to say. This was merely one little incident that had leaked out. He asked how many of those transactions had occurred which had not been made public. Thc Matson affair was described as being a deliberate filching of the treasury, and Mr. Macdonald told how the very Premier of British Columbia had arisen in the House to say that he was proud of the transactions wilh Matson. Mr. Macdonald expressed himself an being very pleased with the organization weerk being prosecuted by the Liberals of South Vancouver. The municipality, he said, was at present practically without any representation in the Victoria House, and without any in Ottawa. Such a thing was a disgrace lo a community with a population of 40,01X1 people. The meeting was intensely enthusiastic and Mr. Macdonald was roundly applauded upon thc conclusion of an eloquent speech iu which thc case was stated in a clear, convincing manner. Mr. Harry Kay presided at the meeting. Mr. Kay outlined the work being accomplished by the Liberals of the community in the way of organization, and hc gave a very interesting account nf certain phases of the political history of British Columbia. Hc believed that the Conservative machine would soon reach the landing of the toboggan, and hc predicted that the force of gravity would apply in iheir descent as it has been Superintendent Joseph Mullet Slashes Down Water Rates Report to South Vancouver Council Shows Marvellous Growth of Demand for Water and Satisfactory Administration of Much Abused Department System is Self-supporting and Rates are Reduced Accordingly After the lirst of the year the prob- Building rate-, welling 1,000 bilities are that the South Vancou- bricks (net) -10 Each barrel of lime ....(net) 10 Each barrel of cement ....(net) 10 100 yarel- plaster (net) 20 Rates nut included in above schedule tei bv specially arranged fur at Waler \\'.erk>' Office.

Holden, formerly a member of the Alberta Legislature, also spoke at considerable length. At the close of the meeting , a hearty vole of thanks was tendered .Mr. Macdonald, and following some thirty new members came forward, joined the South Vancouver Liberal Association, and paid their dues. CHANCES ARE GOOD TO SECURE C. N. R. TUNNEL Locating of Tunnel Near Fraser St. Will be Tremendous boom to South Vancouver That the entrance to lhe tunnel which will conduct the lims oi Canada's newest transcontinental railway from the shores of the Xorth Arm of the Fraser to lhe False Creek terminals will be located on South Vancouver soil, seems very likely. Mr. R. C. Hodgson, presidenl of ilie hoard of hade, and a delegation recently waited upon Sir Richard McBride to press the assistance of the government into South Vancouver's service in securing the tunnel entrance, Though the government view the claims of (he board of trade very favorably in the matter, information is at hand which points to lhe fact lhat the definite plans of lhe Cana- d'lii Northern engineers have heen lixed fur some time to locate the entrance to the underground railway somewhere between Fraser Avenue and Victoria Drive. If the tunnel entrance is placed in tlie neighborhood mentioned, it will doubtless mean that a wholesale business district will develop at this point which will be a great boon t" the Municipality. 11 would necessarily follow thai Ihe C. X. R. would alsee locate many miles of yard trackage iu the vicinity. Thai lhe Cily nf Vancouver and the various municipalities on the peninsula join forces in llle building of a municipal electric light plant, vvas the recommendation of the Central Ratepayers' Executive at a recent meeting which was attended by representative men. It is thought that the Government will have to bc called upon to appoint an Electric Commission to handle the matter, and will likely be approached in the matter. MINISTER TO NAME THIRD MEMBER North Frsser Harbor Commission to be Completed Upcn Return of Hon. J. D. Hazen Hon. J. I'. Hazen, Minister of Marine for the Dominion Government and also Minister fi Naval Affairs, will name upon liis return from Alaska, lhe third member of the North Fraser Harbor Commission. The in formation i.s being awaited with c siderable interest. Upon the appo ment of the third member of commission the body will get dr I., business in ibe administering matters relating to the harbor. Though a South Vancouver man been suggested in acl with Mes R. C.

Superintendent Joseph .Mullett has, submitted the following repeirt to the council which will be read with great interest throughout South Vancou-j ver, and which will lav al rest charges j which have fr.im lime to time been ! made against the administration of this very important department of the municipality's administration. Gentlemen,��� It has been suggested I that Ihe twee well- on the C. P. R. ! properly be connected by tunnels. This will save the expense of pur-j chasing two pumps, extra power, wear , and tear, etc. The approximate cost i would be $1.253.000. A great many I applications are coming in every day: for water, which require extension of main, and in consequence, I have prepared a tabulation embodied ill this report for your consideration. A great deal has been saiel about these works and the rates paid for water, bul I would just like to say that no works in the Dominion of Canaela eer possibly the world, can boast of such a record of progress, as these works, not to mention the troubles and difficulties which have been experienced since the commencement; but in spite eef the- difficulties, you will see by the new schedule of rates, which has been carefully prepared, with an estimated ; cost of running expenses, that nothing has been left undone that would teml lo make the work a success anil our aim has been to this end. inside anel eeittside of these works.

FINE CITIZENS, THESE! "Moat of your water is obtained from surface wells. One of your main wells is situated close to your graveyard. "Most of your streets are filled with the stench of open sewers. "Your little children have been seen drinking the same; and known to go back to their homes to die of diptheria and other diseases. "No water system. No sewerage system. Filthy cesspools, called septic tanks, in all directions." According to literature being printed by a concern operating under the name of the Hunter Printing Company, these are some of the facts regarding South Vancouver. "The South Vancouver Citizen's Reform League" is signed to the tracts, and the exact reason for the remarkable campaign to discredit the municipality cannot be understood. While conditions in South Vancouver probably fall slightly short of conditions in some of the more ancient cities and municipalities, the literature being circulated about places the district in a most unfair light. It is needless to say that every statement contained in the bill is without foundation in fact, and while some of the larger property owners regard the work of "the league" as a great joke, it is the opinion generally that steps should be taken to suppress further publication of such slanderous matter. Members of the South Vancouver council declare that the publishers of the statements above quoted shall answer for their work in the courts. It is as grave a crime to defame a municipality as to defame a person, and the persons issuing the defamatory matter have crudely lain themselves open to criminal prosecution, it is alleged. Going further, the bills issued states that the following is true of South Vancouver: "An indebtedness of $4,900,000; Taxes out of all proportion to the value of your property; Nearly 40 p.c. increased tax on whole assessment this year; One-sixth increase on your water rate; Ruined side streets by bad engineering; Your credit gone and on the verge of bankruptcy; In many parts two carfares; Nearly 40 p.c. more for electric light; Your property depreciating in value every day." It is stated that "the league" is the promotion of a man who has been notorious in the United States as an agitator, and who has been '" s��uth Vancouver but a short time. Workmen formerly employed ny the corporation, who have been laid off temporarily through financial conditions, are being agitated by this fellow, whose doctrines border on anarchy and who is a rabid socialist. DEVELOPMENT AND PROSPERITY MARK TURNING POINTJ3F THE TIDE OF CONDITIONS CONTROLLING SOUTH VANCOUVER We Have Finest Schools in Dominion, Will Have Finest Streets in the West���Municipality Goes Ahead In Spite of Self-Seeking Malefactors South Vancouver is growing. An acknowledgement of this fact entails recognition of other facts which of themselves demonstrate very clearly that the municipality is progressing ami developing into one of the most substantial centres of population in this province. Any argument about the fact of Soulh Vancouver's growth must be soon settled if the history of thc municipality, a comparatively brief history, is consulted. Seven or eight years ago lhe municipality, Ihey will tell you, was just a sparsely. settled suburb of n city which was itself not very large. Before this, of course, the municipality existed as a municipality and the musty records of past councils, legal documents long since relegated to dusty pigeon links and the evidence 'if the earliest settlers tell how Soulh Vancouver became South Vancuuver and cite the history of those early years. Turn from the municipality nf thai early period to the municipality of today. Aided by figures, if necessary. or by the testimony of street cars, mile afler mile of residential ami business streets, water mains, schools, all the hundred ami one other improvements which are incidents now, and with Ihe faith of many thousand people the argument anent growth becomes obvious. And when we agree that South Vancouver has grown we are nearly apt to agree that the municipality is continuing in its progress. 11 is hill a short step from one fact to tin other. So many fads, so many figures might be quoted and so much said about the municipality generally that an article which dealt fully with the win ile matter might easily till volumes. A few facts are enough. They are interesting fact.-, all nf them. They tell us hnw big wc are. In.w very far away from the red ruin which a few impolitic, petty politicians occasionally predict. And because they are fads, facts which any une may prove, they are very well worth while. An increase in the population of any city, town, municipality or village is generally attended with the exhibition of considerable satisfaction on the part of public men, newspapers, progressive bodies and others. This satisfaction is voiced by rcasem of the fact that here in the West, at least, where wc are mosl concerned, ���ni increase in population is compatible with growth. The two are nearly synonomous. They mean almost thc same thing. Various figures compiled by different departments at the Municipal Hall last year indicated a population in South Vancouver of 40,000 people. The' figure was approximate only bin later it was borne out by an estimate maele by the publishers oi the Greater Vancouver directory. Figures of population have pot been fully compiled Ihis year. Bui it is possible lei make an estimate eif the population in several ways. The attendance of school children, the erection eel" dwelling houses, the opening of new sections, the changed appearance nf the municipality and a census arc all used in the effeirt tn arrive at exact ligures. From estimates made by a number of different officials in lhe Municipal Hall, the ligures are alsee based on the work of men assigned to fix street numbers Iee houses, ihe population of South Vancouver must be at least 40.000. It is possible lhat when the exact ligures are compiled the increase may be a few hundred le-s than the 500 increase indicated. Municipal officials who are in a position to kneiw insist that the estimate of 40,(KK) will not prove to be too generous. W'e have a fact of an increase in population, and because newcomers do not live in slums or tenements but build and inhabit fine homes we mav safely assume that this increase spells cnewtb Tell years ago the population "I Vancouver City was less than thai ol Se.uth Vancouver today, Dreamers predicted a mark of 100,000, and the estimate has been exceeded. Who .-an refuse tn believe lhat Soulh Vancouver will grnw at least as fast a- her nl,ler neighbor i" ihe north? See here we have lhe truth t.i the statement that South Vancouver is growing. Further argument i> perhaps unnecessary. And yet it is interesting in peer a little intn the future, m examine if only hurriedly present conditions and mi learn something about the real position which the municipality occupies. Figures are plentiful enough. They might bi' quoted by the ream, but though convincing, an indefinite array of ligures might confuse and bother. A few will suffice, Semih Vancouver is a municipality whose assessed value exceeds nine limes it- bonded indebtedness. In either words, South Vancouver real estate, including improvements, is weerth according lee the latest assessment. $41780,000. That is a heap of money. A municipality whn can boast that strength is to say the least substantial. Its bonded indebtedness is $4,660,- 214. That is what the municipality owes So it might borrow for the next len year- at a rate much greater than its Borrowings nf the last decade ami it- credit would .still be good and very far from being exhausted. It is an interesting study to note hoW the expenditures in the municipality have made for enhance'! values, but that is a story by itself and musl be left t.i a later issue. Seeuth Vancouver's bonded indebtedness actually total $4,716,881, but 1'eiini Grey, formerly a part of the nuinicipalilv shoulders a portion of this, $56,666. Tne iigure first given is really "correct. Its indebtedness consists of certain debenture issues made up to the end e'f 1912. Road loan bylaws, school bylaws, sidewalk bylaws and waterworks bylaws have been successfully floated wiih the result thai the municipality has grown and prospered at a remarkable rate. It is impossible i" gn further intei the work of var- lious councils That too, must be a -leery by itself An analysis nf iln- assessment is interesting because the proportion of wild and improved laml ami the improvements are shown. The wild land is assessed al $5,- 635,000; improved laml is assessed SJX.4.U.0OO, and improvement! are valued at $7,780,000. Of course improvements arc n..I taxed and the tax rate on land is only a iew mills on the dollar. There are 41.000 sep- arate holdings or parcels of real estate in the municipality, These figures represent a slight increase over the previous year. South Vancouver has fifteen splendid schools. Four of these were completed only this summer and will be opened ie.r school children when lhe fall term commences. These fifteen school buildings and the laud on which ihey were erected represents an invesnicnt of marly $2,000,000, A great deal me.re might be writ- Men about South Vancouver. Every department of municipal affairs as a 'mat icr ..I fact has developed into a fairly large organization and .statistic- relating to the work of these departments are bound to be interesting. The "Chinook" hopes from time to time le, publish statistics relative to the growth and progress of South Vancouver. These statistics are nol |necessarily dry or uninteresting. They sh.ml.1 pneve of interest to every intelligent man and w.enian in South Vancouver as they reflect very strikingly the real condition of things. Mr. Royal L. Maitland. one of the best known of the younger barristers in Vancouver, who has many friends in South Vancouver, has joined a new law firm in which Mr. Robert R Maiilaml. L.L.H.. and Mr. A. L. P.

While the civic officials of South Vancouver are scooting from one place to another behind gasoline engines, the city engineer iu Ottawa still lias to take a street car or hire a sleepy cabby and a lired cab horse. While western cities send out their firefighters in motors and to save valuable moments, Toronto and Ottawa still use Clydesdales and wagons. When an accident occurs in the great City of Toronto an old- fa.-hieeiied ambulance drawn by a horse is sent out. The same is true of patrol wagons, and the detective force ol lhe cily thinks it does well to have a motor-cycle at its disposal, It toeek Toronto years lei make up ils mind to buy motor* for the city engineering department It is -till arguing the advisability of motor ambulances. docks, both rusting in idleness while their crews are being got rid of as fast as Hon.

N'ew Zealand, C brought his ship into Victoria on time, and leaving Victoria for Vancouver, anchored in Burrard Inlet right on the minute planned. Captain Lionel Halscy was the guest of honor at a dozen or so luncheons and dinners while in Vancouver. Hc traveled on schedule throughout He was punctual, in fact, too punctual for a good many of his hosts. On Saturday last the Xew Zealand crew came ashore to march in the parade to the sports at Brockton Point. The captain and his men, on tins occasion, were on time���punctual to a second almost It is said that when the Xew Zealand arrived at Victoria, the programme of welcome was balled up, because certain officials freun Victoria wcre not punctual. The reeve of the municipality of Esquimalt was the first Canadian to welcome the cruiser to the Land of thc Maple Leaf, because other greater figures in Canadian public life had trouble finding their right trousers, or were late in rising, or late breakfasting, it matters not the reason.' In Vancouver the art of being always on time has not been cultivated. Attend a political meeting, and in nine out of ten cases, the meeting will open a half-hour or so after the time arranged, because the speakers were late or .some other little matter of carelessness. Go to church and very often the service will open late. The city council and the municipal councils round about bungle up appointments. There arc men in public life in this city who almost require to be located by private detectives if one were to succeed in getting an interview so reckless are they of their appointments. With the men in the higher places religiously falling down on their appointments, it is only to be expected that others will follow the evil example to the detriment of the community. There is many a banker in Vancouver who will tell you that this same weakness has an influence on a man's credit���or a company's credit���and on a community's credit. If a man is always on time, he is usually regarded as being reliable���so thc bankers say. And of course all bankers are not reliable. The visit of the Xew Zealand to Canadian waters has been attended hy quite a lot of theatrical imperialism, in fact too much for men of certain political leanings. Captain Lionel Halscy, in his wonderful courtesy, attentions to the little things a gentleman should do. and his marvellous punctiliousness, while Vancouver's guest, exemplifies the type of man thc Royal Navy can turn out. And the development of punctuality throughout the British Dominions will do a great deal more for the building up of Empire than the waving of ten thousand flags. PROMOTING CIVIC LOYALTY effort to awaken a stronger interest in civic af- 1 fairs, thc Winnipeg Industrial Bureau has circulated a large number of cards containing good epigrammatical advice on the duties of citizenship���advice that might be read and inwardly digested by thc citizens of South Vancouver to splendid advantage. Some of the paragraphs run as follows : Every town is a good town but it takes good citizens to make it better. Thc success of any city depends upon the progressive, ness of its citizens. That which helps the city helps you. The growth of a town depends absolutely upon thc co-operative efforts of its citizenship. Men are valuable just in proportion as they are willing to work in harmony with other men for the good of the city. Citizens who organize for the common good of the city arc the greatest factors in social, financial and commercial betterment Good business men make big cities, for they grasp the great opportunities to be gained through progress and development. Paved and lighted streets are standing testimonials to the progressiveness of the citizenship. INCORPORATION OR ANNEXATION? WHAT to do wilh thickly populated municipalities which adjoin incorporated cities is a vexing puzzle in places other than Vancouver and South Vancouver. A Toronto correspondent writes that the question of having or not having some fixed policy with regard to the annexation of outlying districts to the city proper, is at present occupying the attention of the City Council and lhe Board of Control. Toronto is having trouble in this respect already. In thc last few years the city limits have been extended several miles up Yemge street, and a considrable distance east and west. In ten years the area of the city has been almost doubled. Last year the town of Xorth Toronto, lying three miles up Yonge street was taken into the city and at thc present moment the Hoard of Control proposes taking in another eight thousand acres, including tit" small towns or villages. This policy of a greater Toronto has been actively supported by the Toronto World and by the Toronto Star. The Tek-gram has opposed it consistently. Just now the Telegram position seems to be receiving justification for the town of North Toronto which formerly had an effi- cent municipal government of its own, with water works, sewage, electric light and pavements, etc., is now threatening to take steps to cut itself off from the city on the gn-.mds that it not only is getting no benefits but is actually in a worse position that it had been before. It i.s claimed that the city has raised the assessment to an enormous figure and yet refuses to carry out the paving and other contracts which had been let before the annexation took place. The city fathers are apparently realizing that there arc difficulties attendant upon the administration of these new areas. They add to the necessary borrowings of the city and to the work of the city departments. It is being proposed by one of the aldermen that hereafter no areas shall be taken into the city except on the understanding that they pay for all their local improvements themselves. This would relieve the older parts of the city from financial strain and yet would allow thc outlying districts to obtain water and sewerage facilities. Since the last municipal election, nothing has been heard of the annexation question in South Vancouver. Though it is good material upon which to make election promises, the people apparently do not wish to discuss thc question during the calm between elections, meantime, South Vancouver goes on from day with practically no status among the civic corporations ���of the Dominion. It is neither a city, town or village��� merely a municipality, operated under thc same set of bylaws which govern the farming municipalities of the Upper Country, The Board of Trade of South Vancouver refuses to take a stand on the subject of incorporation, and the Municipal council shuns it as though it were some evil ghost. MALCOLM ARCHIBALD MACDONALD SOUTH VAX'COUVER people who attended the Liberal meeting at Kalenberg Hall, Monday evening, had the pleasure for the first time of hearing Mr. M. A. Macdonald, the coming leader of the Liberal Party in British Columbia, a young man who will undoubtedly some day make his impress on Canadian history. Mr. M. A. Macdonald was born in thc County of Middlesex, in Western Ontario, in a Grit atmosphere, on a Grit farm, and is of the same clan, and from the same community as the fighting editor of the Toronto "Globe." He came to Cranbrook some eight years ago and there practised law. When Sir Wilfrid Laurier paid a visit to British Columbia, Mr. Macdonald was a humble member of a committee of Liberals who greeted him at one of the points the then premier visited in the Interior. Sir Wilfrid heard the Cranbrook lawyer make an address upon that occasion. Sir Wilfrid knows a good man when he sees one, and that, fact had a .strong bearing upon Mr. Macdonald's coming to Vancouver more than a year ago to take a front rank position among lhe Liberals of the Province. The President of the Provincial Liberal Association is a black-eyed, black-haired man who stands six feet anil is built proportionately, possessing a good personality for his position. He is a serious, matter-of-fact speaker, and in his criticisms of his opponents, he confines him.SL'lf te. what he knows to be truth, laying aside vilification, slander and mud slinging. Mr. Macdonald is not yet forty years of age. He is regarded as being the strongest man in the Liberal party in British Columbia. Ile is an able lawyer, a keen student and is conspicuous as a public man because he lacks the suave amen of the professional politician. Soulh Vancouver Liberals gave Mr. Macdonald a splendid reception and they were treated to a common sense statement of facts regarding thc work of the present Provincial Ministry. Mr. Macdonald is confining himself for the present to the promoting of an opposition in the legislature at Victoria���a work that should receive the endorsement of all sensible taxpayers. This latest representative from the Macdonald family will require watching in British Columbia politics, and there are many who have him slated some day for the premiership of the Province. THE CIGARETTE HABIT CIGARETTE smoking begins with an innocent b effort to be smart. It soon becomes a pleasure, then a satisfaction, next a necessity. The la-t -tage evolves into a third, a condition eif fever and unrest, wandering of mind, accompanied by a bis- eel moral and mental control. This may take two years e,r len. Hut finally a llabbiness of tissue results from taking lhe -me'ke into the bronchial tubes, where pure air is required t'e oxygenize the blood, and a nervous weakness follows that leaves the victim unprotected, a prey to any sort of malady or disorder to which he may be exposed or liable. Beginning as a habit, the indulgence finally becomes a vice. The first indication of degeneration is in the youth's sccrctiveiiess. He feels his weakness and so seeks to present a bold front. "Bluff" is his chief characteristic. He tries to make an impression���he talks big, is full of promises, plans, and confidential utterances. He confuses dates, times, and places, and often will tell you he has done a thing when he only intends to tin il. Only the strong man is honest; only the healthy tell the truth. A lie is a disease of the will; hypocrisy is a symptom. Thc cigarettist has an abnormal egotism���be has much indefinitely. He picks things up and lays Ihcm down, and proves for us again and again the maxim that the strong man is thc one who can complete a t,i.sk, not merely begin it. One marked peculiarity of the cigarette fiend is that often he makes the discovery that cleverness, astuteness, trickery, and untruth arc good substitutes for simplicity frankness, and plain, common honesty. The cigarettist has an abnormal egotism���he has much faith in himself. If this faith wavers, he rolls a cigarette. Often in advanced stages half the day is given to rolling cigarettes. To roll cigarettes gives the defective some thing to do. Nervous, clutching, scratching, searching, yellow-stained hands���hands that alternately play the devil's tattoo and roll cigarettes���these are the hands that forge your name and close over either people's money. The victim has a fixed belief that he is immune, and that all men are mortal but himself. He grins at warnings, laughs al the advice of his best friends, and turns your brotherly appeal into a joke. The man who weeiild quit the cigarette habit must see his own folly, and convince his own mind of the existence of the vice ere it can be eradicated. The trouble is in bis brain. There is ine salvation fejr him outside himself. There is no doubt but that the cigarettist is often a man of many good impulses, and over and over in his heart there sweep resolves tei cease all subterfuge and be true, but these maudlin resolves are not tie be trusted any more than you hearken te, lhe promises of a "dope fiend." The choice between cigarettes and daily doses of cocaine, morphine, or bromide is very slight. Cigarette smoking is not periodic���it is continue'tis��� a slow, insidious, sure poinon. Ils results can bc foretold as accurately as the expert alienist can foresee thc end of incipient locomotor ataxia. Fortunately, most young men who begin thc habit quit it before it geds a vital hold upon them. Were this not so, how could the student body, say at Harvard, Yale, or Dartmouth, survive? These young men smoke cigarettes just as they dabble in strange sins when away from the immediate restraint of family and home. Later, many of them square away and become pillars of society. But for the young man who has become so calloused that be smokes cigarettes in the presence of his mother, sister, or sweetheart, there is litlle hope. Thc poison has already tainted his moral nature, ami for him the work of dissolution, disintegration, and degeneration has begun. Ile i.s a defective���a physical, menial, and moral defective. Cigarettes stupefy the conscience, deaden lhe brain, place the affections in abeyance, and bring the beast to the surface. It is a busy world, boys, and competition is keen. We need all the strength we can muster, No eme thinks meere of u.s because we use cigarettes���and there are tin esc who think less. And these last are the people whose goodwill we prize.

Cold-storage companies from several points in Western Canada, it is said, are endeavoring to get in touch with Xew Zealand shippers, so the imports of this commodity will go on increasing until British Columbia farmers get to thc land. With a rapidly-increasing population and constantly-extending industries, it seems extraordinary that, in a land so richly endowed by nature with the means of supplying food to the consumer, British Columbians should have to go so far afield as Xew Zealand for dairy products. British Columbia sheiuld be able to supply all the butter and other produce required were the soil put to its natural use and the principle of the land for the people more generally adopted. British Columbia alone is capable of supplying all the wants of the west in this department wen the rich farm lands to be had and farming conducted on strict business principles, not only in regard to production, but also to marketing. Small countries like Holland. Belgium, and Ireland are growing rich anil prosperous through the improved business methods adopted by the farmers and the intelligent foresight displayed by them in relation to the market value of farm commodities in industrial centres. SHAMEFUL COMPARISON WHILE Mr. Borden has been plunging Canada into bitter partisan strife in a struggle to secure political advantage for himself out of the Naval situation, the Australian people have been going steadily ahead carrying out their part of the agreement made with Canada in 1909. Already the Commonwealth has a powerful fleet unit, with the dreadnought cruiser "Australia," the light cruisers, "Sydney" and "Melbourne," three oceangoing destroyers well under way in Australian ship.yards, and the light cruisers, "Encounter" and "Pioneer," the latter two as training vessels. This powerful fleet unit is partly built and partly manned by Australians, and altogether maintained by Australia. Compare this with Canada's naval situation under Mr. Borden.

One time I asked his miii. wlm is uImi connected with the business, what he thought eif the plan and imagine my surprise when he said : "I du not like it at all. Why? Well, there is no doubt that women are capable of filling these positions, for they are intelligent, ambitious to learn and pleased at the chance of making money. Hut when woman has become proficient in ber work, and we are beginning to feel that our training was all placed, lo, she marries! and then wc find she was only doing this work until her sweetheart Bhould be ill .1 position lee support her. Or, perhaps, she has nei sweetheart now. but who will dispute the fact tbat there i.s a lingering hope in every girl's heart that the 'knight on the iron gray steed' will yet appear. Vein see. our office becomes a training .school in which much valuable instruction is wasted. Women regard business as a makeshift, whereas with a man it is the business of life, other matters being secondary, and by close attention ami diligence he hopes for promotion in his chosen line." One cannot but admit there is some truth in his assertions, as it i.s natural for a woman's heart lo yearn for home and attachments, but nevertheless I think that most men who employ women agree that they are quite equal to men ill most positions accorded them. If it becomes necessary for you to work for your daily bread, then you must cultivate a personal interest in your labor. If possible, select the work for which you are best fitted, and never feci above it. Hid false pride adieu when yotl go out into tlie business world, and instead pride yourself on your capability, remembering tbat behind thc counter or at the book keeper's desk you can be as much a gentlewoman anil as truly a lady as in the parlor at hemic. You should be proud of the fact that you are .self-sustaining. How many there are who envy you wheise family pride interferes and who are forced to lead miserable lives of dependency, which are more wearing than long years of active labor. Of course, promptness and accuracy are necessary requirements, and inattention. cannot be too strongly condemned. You are paid to put spirit in your work as well as for the time you give. Look your prettiest, but study to dress suitably. A plain face can be made attractive by immaculate neatness and becoming clothes. Simplicity of dress is nmst desirable. Do yeeu kneew that it arouses suspicion in tbe minds of your own sex, as well as among men, to see a salaried girl with elianie.nils on her fingers anil furbelows that are only suitable for tlie evening when you go out eir sit with a few friends.

The Housekeeper's Vacation There are many housekeepers wh must forego a vacation, says Anna j Harreews in Good Housekeeping, or even a week. Often in Buch cases, much may be gained by a single elay away from home, even ii ii be spenl with a friend in the same town. It would be true' economy, under these condition's, to take lhe whole family mil le. dinner at any nearby boarding llOUSC or hotel, even if llie meal was not half as good anil cost twice' as much as the eme lhat would have been prepared at home. Sometimes the housekeeper may have ample money for her vacation, but other reasons keep hcr from a real vacation trip. The money might well be spent ill sending aii the family out for meals for a week. After such a change, housekeeping usually is more enjoy- able. The editor of the Rural Xew Yorker, sonic lime ago published a list nl kitchen statistics which is ejnitc illuminating in regard to the cumulative proportions of housework, especially the dish-washing. The final Bumming Up showed thai, in an average household, something over 1,200 square inches of dishes and silver were wiped daily for each person. That was further carried out in show lhat it meant a yearly cleaning of more than three acres eif crocKery and metal. This is quoted t" show that one of the lirst things tei be attended to in planning a vacation for thc housekeeper who does her own work is .some scheme for light-housekeeping or picnics which will reduce dish washing. Another important point is the reducing of heat which makes the worker tire so much nie ire easily. Even a gas stove gives out heal, inure' than we are likely to realize iu winter, but ill 'Slimmer it is very apparent. Try lo plan in take advantage of lhe rainy or cooler days for the heavier cooking, anil to get along at each meal wilh a single hot dish whenever it is possible; and tbat maybe prepared partially in the tireless cooker. The tw.e hours before tbe 7.3(1 or K o'clock breakfast, are worth more for housework than any others, iu a summer elay. It is necessary to move quietly and some things must wait for fear of disturbing others in the bouse. Hut then is the lime tee take account of tbe food mi hand, to put the refrigerator iu order, to mix a cake en- prepare some other elish to be cooked wiih the breakfast fire ami served cold later in llle day. To minimize the amount of title anil labeir required to serve frequent cool drinks lo the family a good idea would be llle making of sugar syrup tee keep mi hand for lemonade, or other syrups flavored wilh .i -nigh fruit en- combination. Notwithstanding Mr. Edison's dic- tum thai we sleep too much, eene of the' best ways io secure a real vacation is to slce'p a- much ;.- possible during the vacation season, In midsummer a Hap in ilu early afternoon i.s an admirable way to turn some eif iln- leasl agreeable hours in the day tee ge.oll acee Hint.

GREATER VANCOUVER CHINOOK SEVEN' INDUSTRIAL NURSERIES THE LOFT SYSTEM-A New Era in Vancouver's Manufacturing "First in order 1 shall take agriculture," said tbe Hon. Price Ellison in bis budget speech. "It is the backbone of all industries in all countries." Many of us, and especially the farmers, are glad to know lhat agriculture is s>i conceived by the minister in whose hands is power to make good his words. Bul the town has its problems as well as the country, ami because eif the larger aggregation of human life has more of ihcm. The problem of li. nnc manufacture i- distinctly the civic authority to set n m operation. A building of several storeys is erected for manufacturing purposes. It is BUpplied with power, light, elevators and transportation facilities. Space is rented by manufacturers and all they need 1" begin business is the special machinery appropriate tei their special trade. If tbe building is provided by a private person or a private company one of twu things may happen. If the company is reasonable and until they call begin In market their product, but the outlay for rent and motive power is too great for them In undertake. "lu the older cities 'ef tin' Eastern States private capital has been invested in large factory buildings, and these building- have- been equipped with one or inure electric motor-, belted tn lines of shafting placed in po- -ili'eii feer operation em every II"..r fi llie building. The floor space is subdivided to -nil the need- fi tenants a- Ihey lake possession. FACILITIES FOR CHEAP HANDLING OF FREIGHT ant nuil- to el., i- t.e -et up what machinery he requires and connect with the line -haft. The tenant pays a rental based on lhe interest anel money invested in the building and the cost '.f llle p..wer. light and taxes, everything included, on a monthly basis, so much per month according t.e tin' -puce ami power he requires. An Illustration "For example, two young men located in a building eef thi- kind in I'.. -I..ti some years ago. They atarl- eel out to make a -mall turning lathe e.f an improved standard. They were In.ih machinists. They we,rkeel at it themselves; t'...k one room; made iheir own toe.I-; made some of these lathes and sold them through machinery dealers. In the course of three years they occupied three lleeen- in thai building, taking up other lines. Tiny began with a few hundred dollars e.f capita] and iii three year- had something like $20,000 worth of plant iu thai building and employed about forty hands. The Eastern cities -ire' i full eif such places as thi-; small -hops employ from 'lie' or twee tee j thirty or forty hands. Om- of these eleie- lleet SCClll to llC IllUCll. Iltlt ill tllC aggregate they amount to quite a large capital. Take lhe article- of jewelry manufactured in these -mall places; combs, glove fasteners, buckle- fur braces, special die works for -lamping ..ut metals, special shoe machines f.er special operations. One man maele special -.'all- for weighing and in two .er three years cleared $15,000. Nearly all the large manufacturers iu the East started like ihis in lhe early ila.- 1 quite ap- prove of the municipalities buying a concern of this 1 ind. There are many men from the Easl and from the Old Country who are usi'd t.. manufacturing win. could be encouraged I'i start enterprise of ihis kind." The 3ush Terminal The grand example nf industrial | nurseries i- the bush terminal at New Y'ork. A few years ago the -ite .if ilii- immense business nursery was a hide Hat not unlike l.ulu Island fore- tories; supply them with re.e.ms ami power, light and elevators an immense economic waste might be avoided ami an immense busineess be built up fe.r ilial company. The Bush Terminal i- the result e.i' thai idea. Today ii covers 300 acre- of land. Four thousand business linns occupy liush Terminal -pair. Vancouver with it- miles e.f Foreshore simply cries ..ut for the man or company or public authority that ha- the pluck to follow -nil. Triumph of Co-operation Tin- whole thing is a triumph eef cooperation, economy, anel efficiency. Let a business man who know- the whole gamut of exasperation connected wiih freight think of thc luxury of putting his goods into the elevator, receiving his -hipping bills straight away anel then feeling hini- -.���If at liberty tp return to his work. Thus luxury cnuld only be compared with tin- other luxury provided by the Bush Terminal of delivery at the door ..f the manufactory of ihe thing- lie neiel- fnr his work. Is il imt clear al-.. that if there were a way opened tn manufacturers in Vancouver by which ihey could use their money as working capital raiher than tying it up in the maintenance of real property thai '.he outlook im' home manufacture would !>������ much brighter.- When one comes to ..ii-iiler ihe- disabilities of the factory builder it is scarcely surprising that men are slow to take the initiative. There is the very great difficulty, fm' example, nf obtaining nmrt- gage loans on factory property because of the rapid depreciation of the worth of the security due t.. vibration, new factory loans, freighting ���'aeiliti-. - and the like. Expansion of business often means congestion tti operatii ns or enlargement of premis- ��� - or im iving out and building again Nnw factory buildings are- hard to -ell nr let because often they are' built tee suit particular need-. At the Bush Terminal room for expansion can alway- he had. The factory builder again is exceptionally fortunate if he can get on a railway siding The Bush Terminal can placi its tenant- practically on the siding ships at e,in- time. The commodious nature' of the pier houses enables the miest expeditious handling oi in-coming and out-going cargoes without even the opportunity for confusion. There are- at presenl nine industrial buildings each costing about a million dollars al the Bush Terminal ami me.re are- always in course of erection in persuance of a definite plan which provides for the ultimate erection of thirty, 'I'he concern is ii'.t -.. much a plant a- a business city planned, laid ...it and built with all other considerations eliminated beyond thai of making the transaction ..i business easy ami economical. The company has recognized also thai '.'ari' f..r human life i- lhe best business wisdom ami all questions of light, air. ami sanitary conveniences have been carefully considered. The Opposite Picture The oppi -ile ami familiar picture may be briefly indicated.

Tl ' ndustrial Building Co. e.f Toronto ha- completed negotiations for ilu purchase or a site f..r such a building at the cost of $390,000. Tiie 1.milling will be ready f..r i.ccupaiii.n in October. At Akron, Ohio, a high-level viaduct i- needed burning question tii the day, nol only in Vancouver but in well-nigh every leiwn in thc province. 1 have written elsewhere on lhe need eif an industrial payroll; mi the possibilities of textile, ireni and Iteel, paper and furniture industries and lhe need of all these is indeed be- coming a commonplace. I have tried also to press the idea that industrial litet should bc offered on reasonable lenns by real estate owners who have thc interests of the city at heart .mil should be acquired by public authorities, as school sites arc, with a view to the grouping of industries in industrial areas away from the dwellings of the people, from the st.ires and offices. These areas, where possible, should be screened from the rest of the city by belts of trees s.i as not to destroy unnecessarily the beauty of thc city and should have good transportation facilities. It may be said then that thc need for industries is fully apparent. The question now is: Can anything be dune to foster industries? Is nothing to be done because it is nobody's business? Is there any way better than any other to encourage the establishment of new industries that will not require too much capital and that will make possible inexpensive experiment? The lirst question can bc answered with a general affirmative; the second question would encourage cynicism and prophecy, both dangerous pastimes; to the third question a confident reply can bc returned and this reply will bring us to thc subject in hand: "Industrial Nurseries," the so- called "loft-system" of manufacture. The Loft System The subject has thc advantage that there is nothing intricate or recondite about it. It can bc described in a very few words. Our unfamiliarity with it as an industrial asset simply means that we are behind the times. Many business men in Vancouver know all about it; have seen it in operation and used its facilities and ���speak well of it without exception, but it needs a little enterprise, a little organization, it may be. a little Public spirit, perhaps a lead from the charges fair rent they may make thc thing a triumphant success ami aid industry enormously by giving lhe -mall manufacturer bis first chance. If the company is greedy and cares einly for quick and big returns the plan is a goose that is killed for its geiblen egg when il might lay many more. If the building is provided by the public authority the object of it is tlie definite encouragement of industry without loss to the community ami the infant industries are less likely tee be strangled by proprietorial greed. Now it will be seen at once thai here the initial cn-t of land, building, power, elevator and freight out- lit in the shape of teams and motor tracks is saved to the manufacturer. The question may bc asked whether there arc likely to bc a sufficient number of manufacturers to make such an experiment a paying concern, The answer is that the affirmative has been proved again and again in other cities. Municipal Experiments I am permitted to quote from a report on the subject prepared by Mr. A. W. Rulmcr for the industries ceimmittee of the Progress Club which at the same time illustrates the utility of such a committee and throws some light on the subject. "Thc great majority of manufacturing plants on this continent have been started in a very small way by men of limited capital who wcre gifted with foresight and courage; a good example of this fact being the Canadian General Electric Company. which, starting with $10,000 capital, has built up an industry���within the space of one generation���worth some $20,000,000.00. "In every city are found a few mechanics who have patented sonic useful device and wish to manufacture it. or who see opportunities for manufacturing some article of common use. They may have capital enough to make the first payment on the machines needed in their work and provide tbe necessary working capital to carry their business along "Tin' beginner iu the manufacturing line- can thus secure the minimum space required for his work, belt his machines to -halting already in position and pay for space, power and .-baiting e.n a monthly rental basis Thousands of -mall industrial plants in the Eastern State- owe their exi It- cnee lo lhe opportunity thus afforded to avoid an unnecessary outlay for plant and power. ��� "Wc have learned thai lhe Cities of Seattle, Portland, Toledo, Cincinnati, Syracuse, .Milwaukee. K..Chester, Albany. Buffalo and Detroit have made ibe providing of these factory buildings with power plants and shafting installed a municipal enterprise, erecting the buildings on cily owned property. "It has been found that while these factory buildings iu the East house many different small manufacturing companies, the proportion of well paid skilled mechanics employed i- very high, each plant requiring experts to produce its lines. "Vancouver today offers opportunities ill many lines for the small manufacturer whose market will expand with the rapid growth of the city and province, but these industries 'must bc fostered and their establishment made as easy as possible for their promoters." Some Examples I talked with Mr. K. J. Morrison, chairman of the industries committee of the Progress Club, and found be had been familiar with this -ys- tcn fnr twenty-live years. "There are any number of men," be said, "with a small amount eif capital who could make staple articles but thc initial ceist of fitting up a place, as things are in Vancouver, would take the whole of their capital. Loft buildings are provided in the Eastern Stales, several storeys high. The power plant is located in the basement of the building. Thi- buileling is divided into the spaces lhe tenants require. Lines of shafting are run throughout the lluilding and are. eif course, connected with the power plant in the basement. All the ten- LIGHT. HEAT AND POWER ARE SUPPLIED BY THE LANDLORD -In.re. Mr. Irving T Bush had watched the freight congestion of Manual, tan Island where trucks had to wail in line for hours, blocked ami delay. ed ein every hand. IIc -aw the econ- otitic waste of this congestion and found that frequently the mere handling of freight at the terminals cost as much as the whole journey nf three or f.eur hundred miles. The idea was burn in his mind that if manufactories could Somehow bc grouped together and ��� ne company make it it- busine-s to receive and deliver the freight at the d'"ers .n" lhe inanufac- e.f every railre.ael. Their tenants del not need even to see their rail freight until it reaches their door. They do not ee their outbound shipments after they arc placed in the elevator. At the i'.ush Terminal there are seven modern piers each a quarter of a mile long at which there arc clock- eel th' fines eif ocean steamships that travel the four quarters of thc globe. The piers stretch aleing the waterfront and extend into thc har- b..r 1-liltl feel. Each pier has a capacity e.f docking six ocean-going steam- to cmss a valley. "Why waste the space beneath thc bridge," thought some business man. The result is this idea is to be the construction of a ilnc eef industrial buildings underneath the viaduct. The total cost is estimated at $950,000 and the floor space available for rental will be 873,- 000 square feet. One side of the bridge will be occupied by a sidewalk: the other side by a series of elevators. On the top storeys of the building will be a railway and tenants will be able !" load and unload their geeds under their own roof. JU EIGHT SO> PUKEATER VANCOUVER CHINOOK SATURDAY.

Willie Ritchie, the world's lightweight champion, will defend his title against Freddie Welsh at Brighouse arena mi Labor Day. Tuesday night the champion decided in accept the offer of the local promoter, and in a wire tn Chester Mclntyre, asked that articles In- sent immediately t" San Francisco and he wnuld sign them, "limit is on. Send complete set of articles at once. Letter following. Rush article-." That is the wire received from ihe' chimpion, so that tin lirst limit ever held in Canada for the world'- lightweight championship . will come P. \ .incouvcr. Ritchie will receive $15.(ll>ti. win. lose, or draw in addition to 5 per cent, of the motion picture receipts. Should thc bout draw a $30,000 gate, Ritchie will receive 50 per cent, of all taken over lhat amount. Tbe meeting between Ritchie and l Welsh here on Labor Day will, by all ! means be the biggest and most impor- i taut contest ever held under the Union i Jack, even ranking higher in ithpor- | tancc than the Johnson-Burns championship battle at Sydney, Australia, a few years ago. Welsh, the- champion of the British Empire, will attempt to wrest the title from the world'- champion on Uriiish soil. Never has an American defended bis title of lightweight championship on foreign soil, but Ritchie could hardly afford to spurn the offer of tin: local promoters. The game can not boast of two cleverer boxers than Welsh and Ritchie. Both have stamped themselves as two of the greatest exponents of the manly art which the game his known, and from a scientific point of view the coming contest should prove to be the greatest of them all. Not for many years have two clever boxers engaged in a bout for the world's lightweight honors, Invariably it has been the boxer against the fighter or vice-versa, but on Labor Day, two of the cleverest boxers in the game will contest their right to the greatest honors which the game can give. Ritchie and Welsh have met before. Welsh .shaded the Californian at Los Angeles a few years ago, when the fteim an article iu the "Sun." There are Mormons, Seventh-day Advcn- tist-, Unly Roller-.

But I am not joining in a person-1 al atack on Mr. Johnson. I respect; him as highly as anyone, but the whole mater is more serious, at the least it is Diocesan, not Parochial. I have a practical suggestion to make. The post of Archdeacon is vacant. I want to suggest three names: 1st, Lord Kitchener; 2nd. Rev. Dr. Dear- mer. author nf the "Parson's Hand- l.eek"; and 3rd, your humble servant. An Archdeacon has been called the "Bishop's Eye." In that respect Dr. Dearmer would answer admirably. Lord Kitchener, 1 fear, would rather be somewhat of the Bishop's ti.st��� "mailed list"���yet after all, in spite of my inherent humility and gentleness of nature���1 must push my own claims, for I should very soon develop into the Bishop's foot.

Canadian House of Commons and Senate on Parade Being a Few Side Lights on the "Solid Seven" and Other Well Known Law Makers of the Dominion, Showing Them As They Really Are, Irrespective of Politics WHO IS The Tallest Man Shortest Man Fattest Man Thinnest Man Richest Man Baldest Man Most- Talkative Man Gayest Man Most Solemn Man Youngest Man IN PARLIAMENT ? For the proper stinly e.i mankind, Parliament is the place, man being there 111 varieties and tastes far out- numberlng the must advertised condiment em the market It becomes perfectly apparent upon investigation that the electors intended Parliament in its make-up to be truly representative. He>w could the mirror be held up to tlie franchisc-wieltlers by the election of a Parliament which reflected only the virtues and none of the weaknesses of thc body politic? It obviously -wouldn't do. It could not tend to complete mutual understanding as between Parliament and the people. All of which has nothing whatever to do with the purpose of the ensuing, which is intended, if not to flatter, at least to give tbe member of Parliament his due. This may be achieved by a few allusions to what nature and other contributors have done for him. A rigid adherence to the truth may expose us to the charge of nature-faking, but all great movements are attended with sennc risk. Thc disinterested pursuit of the science of anthropology demands some sacrifice. Here Are 'Some of Them The Hon. Alphonse Lariviere is by yards and yards the fattest man in Parliament. To have grown so fat it . is assumed that be must have spent The Champion Skeleton There ia considerably less certainty as te. the identity e.f the champion thin man of Parliament. In attempting to reach a conclusion upon this point sume attention would have to bc paid to the Hon. Arthur Meiglien, the new Solicitor-General of Canada, the narrowness of whose body is out eef all decent proportion to the breadth eef his view*. Mr. Meiglien entered Parliament in l"lt8, and is one of the deadliest debators in the House of Commons. He very recently figured in the altogether unusual spectacle of the office seeking the man, which shows that even merit may tome- times win recognition. The Parliament of Canada is rich in rich men. Without looking too far into the future, it may bc said that there are in the Senate and House of Commons, rich men to burn. They are about ct|ti,-illy divided between the two parties. In the Senate there are Sir Lyman Jones, Hon. George Cox, Hon. W. C. Edwards, Hon. Raoul Dandurand and a number of others all in or near tbe millionaire class. In the Commons there arc Sir Edmund Osier, Sir Rodolphe Forget, F. B. McCurdy, Hon. A. E. Kemp, Hon. George Perley, who have millions, and E. M. Te.bin, J. A. M. Aikins. W. A. Charlton, J. J. Carrick, and others i.stie eef the man. He- i> eene of the few men em earth whee can wear a lialel bead I" advantage. He is one of the geeeiel looking men of the House and a stnuig debater with a special aptitude feer unravelling the tangles eif intricate finance and of layiii'r bare the hidden truth, met tei my the bald facts. The other members mentioned arc unmistakeably bald, se, much su that their collective scalp would const i t u t o a desert sufficient to challenge thc efforts of the most expert reclamation experts of the age. Hut that goes for nothing. They are all men of mark in the House. Mr. Outliers occupies the position eef Minister of Labor, with all the comforts of a place between the upper and the nether millstone. It requires tact, and he has it. Ceorge Bradbury is renowned as a manufacturer of brick and the author of speeches, both equally durable. He is still looking for justice on behalf of the Indians of the St. Peter's reserve, with the object of putting the redskin that much ahead of the white man. As for D. D. MeKenzie, who among them can quote Scripture with him, or whose speeches have exactly thc same effect upon the House as his? The Beau Brummel W. II. Xorlhrup is without doubt the best-dressed man ill the House, elay lost which .sees not their names I in Hansard under seven eer eight col- ttmn> of indifferent prose, said ad- eliliiui having been readily accepted and utilized to the full hitherto. Take the case uf the Hon. W. A. Charlton, of Xeirfolk. This man's brother, the late John Charlton was a famous debater, a constructive legislator, too able, they used to say, for office. W. A. Charlton used to bc Speaker of the Ontario Legislature and as such learned to say nothing. He maintained at Ottawa a record as a silent man, deviating from this course once only when, in the last throes of the struggle over the Naval Bill, be contributed to the acres of dismal repetition, a real message, an appeal for universal peace, Utopian but beautiful enough against its miserable background eif canned opinions. There are either men who don't speak at all, and these include some of those who have nothing to say. On the other hand there are men who speak often, men who speak at great iength and men who do both. Most of them are to be found on the Opposition side of the House, naturally, because, whatever government is in power, the Opposition does the talking. D. A. Lafiirtune is not a frequent offender, but makes up for the infrequency when he does speak. He holds all records for protracted oratory and leiuks like Sir James Whitney. Hon. Prank Oliver is fast coming to the front as an tttterer of words, and Hem. II. R. Emerson i.s able to speak at length and often. Mr. Emmerson also enjoys the distinguished position of having the greatest head of lair in Parliament. Some Talkers, The fastest speaker in House is either Edmund Bristol, of Toronto, R. B. Bennett, of Calgary. Hansard hates them both. It is very much like catching Niagara Kalis in a bucket for the shorthand writer to get the torrential flow of sentences from either of these men. imt speak often or long, verbal velocity is terrific. Parliament also has its ��� ,,, intellectually and otherwise. Senator Dan Derbyshire, of Brockville, is as large as Joseph Barrettc is small. The Senator's weight is not far short of three hundred pounds of sixteen ounces each, and no ready-to-wear suit will fit him. Moreover he is one of the keenest business men in Eastern They d but their big Ontario, a leading figure ill the dairy world and a man of substance in his own eenintry. Hc occupies a large part of thc horizon when he is approaching. Hc suggests butter-fat and albumen, and has that slow contemplative gaze characteristic of the initial factor in the dairy industry. Barrettc, of Berthier, on the other hand, is so short in stature that a syc- anieere tree seems necessary as an integral element in the picture. Bar- rette won t'.e country of Berthier for the G ncrnnicnt and is one of the most popular men of the Quebec contingent at Ottawa. The Baby of the House Armand Lavergne used to bc the youngster of the House, but he is gone. The youngest member now is T. de Witt Foster, of King's County. Nova Scotia, thc man who, while yet an ttnder-graduate, defeated a Minister of the Crown, being Sir Frederick Borden. Mr. Foster is a capable speaker and a useful man in Parliament, as well as being an effective stumper at election time. J. D. Taylor, of New Westminster began bis parliamentary career as a page in the Ilemse of Commons. He ran messages to the Library fur the mm who leel the House in the brave elays ul ���: Id, potted letters, strung Hansards and so forth. Hc went to British Columbia, made good, owns a newspaper, represents an important constituency and is a gool fellow. He has the peculiar advantage over his fellow members of knowing what the page boys think of them. Joseph E. Armstrong, of East Lambteiii, is perhaps the tallest man in the House. He is some distance over six feet, but carries nee more weight than ought properly to go with his height. lie is a trained speaker and a successful business man, interested in numerous industries in Lambteiii county. Tom Stewart, of Hamilton, isn't the saddest man in Parliament, although he might give you a contrary impression. He is engaged in the sale of tombstones, and his facial solemnity may have something to do with this. Apart, however, from monuments, he is a genial soul, in fact, one "f the merriest fellows in the world. TABLE VINEGAR Now that the time of salads and green stuffs is here you will want vinegar that is pure and wholesome. We have this week put in a stock of the finest vinegar procurable.

S. Clements, M.P., is the man to the extreme left, standing His is the biggest constituency in Canada. Coniox-Atlin is a thousand and a half miles long and there are pe>r- tieins of it that have yet to he explored. Clements is six feel tall, wears "hies heart em his sleeve," and is a good sportsman. In days gone bye, the man fre,m Comox-Atlin was in the wool business in Chatham, Ontario. He is popular and is a western diamond in every sense of the word. II. II. Stevens, M.P, for Vancouver, is probably the hardest worker in the British Columbia delegation, He is often heard on the floor of the House of Commons and is considered by the newspapermen of the east to be an able speaker and keen debater. The Vancouver member is a journalist and is developing into a lecturer of some note. Since Mr. Stevens went to Ottawa, Vancouver, has received more consideration from THE SOLID SEVEN the Dominion Governmenl than everi before in the histeery of the city. Col, J. D. Taylor, M.P, for New i Westminster, stands next to Mr. | Stevens. He is the owner and edi-i lor eif the New Westminster "Columbian," was one time a messenger boy in Ihe House of Commons', and rose from lhat station to the House of Commons Press Gallery where, [or years hc represented several leading eastern Conservative papers, among thein the Ottawa "Journal" and Montreal "Gazette." !���'. II. Shepherd. M.P,. feer Nap.ii- mei, stands to the left. He is a York-, shlreman, and a self-made man. A^ a buy, he worked ill the coal mines, and is today a milling engineer of considerable pn eminence. He is an Imperialist of thc more moderate type, and one of his great ambitions is to help to relieve the burden of the wage worker. "Bob" Green, from Kootenay, is lhe gentleman with the arms folded. Ile was ne'er known lee eipcn his mouth on the floor of the House. He is suave and courteous, and polished. For years he has been identified with politics in British Columbia, Hc is one of the men behind the scenes and a mighty strong man at that���a politician freun the Weird gee. The Hun. Martin Burrel, from Vale- Cariboo, is a gentleman-farmer from Grand Porks, in the Boundary Country. He is the gentleman next to Mr. Green, sitting. He holds out very strenuously for the aesthetic. "Eminently fair" is stamped over his personality. He is a politician of the English eirder, and as Minister of Agriculture, is a valued man in the Borden Cabinet. G. H. Barnard. MP., for Victoria, is thc society champion of the British Columbia team. The cultured atmosphere of Victoria follows him wherever he goes. the earlier three fourths of his completed career in a paroxysm of laughter, that being, as everybody knows, the greatest recognized aid to adipose development. Senator Lariviere, with the application of Mcrcato-r's projection, would represent one of the big unimproved areas not yet exploited by the sub-division sharks of Ottawa. The poor pretensions of Capt. Tom Wallace became unimportant when the Senator from Provencher came back in 1911. There have been other fat men in Parliament from time to time, but big; in proportion. The late Hon. D. C. Fraser, Senator Derbyshire, and Dr. Rangin had claims, but for: mammoth rotundity coupled with a moderate height, the Hon, Alphonse defies all ceampetition. He is p. Montreal man, who went West in 1871, got into politics in Manitoba, and became a member in .Manitoba, and became a member of the Provincial Government, He was somewhat prominently identified with thc Manitoba school question, being at that time a member of the Dominion House for the constituency of Provencher. Louis Riel was among his predecessors in the Provencher seat. winisc doors are protected by many ciphers from the wolves. There are few really poor men in the House, but there arc many whei do not regard the sessional indemnity as an unimportant addition to the annual income. Front Row Certainties There arc enough bald heads in the two Houses to provide, under suitable regulations, valuable surface rights for a good hair-growing industry. The departure of Sir Allen Aylesworth was a distinct loss to the aggregate baldness of Parliament, but the supply has been by no means exhausted. The toupee has made some inroads, but in the majority of cases the bald ones remain naked and unashamed. The more notable examples arc : W. S. Middlebro, of North Grey; Hon. T. W. Crothers, the Minister of Labor; George Bradburry, of Selkirk, and ex-Judge MeKenzie, of Cape Breton. The order of the above list may not be exactly accurate according the respective degrees of tousorial sterility, but it is fairly so. The North Grey member leads, because there is a more delicate finish, so to speak, a finer polish about his baldness, which indeed is character- with W. S. Middlebro and A. C. Mac- ele.nell in close running for place. Mr, Northrup is eme eif the old Opposition front rank and one of the able men of his party. A. C. Macdonell holds the riding eif South Toronto feer the Government and has beaten some strong men in his time. He is one eif the.se men who do not look for preferment, but he ia in line for recognition all the same. It has been charged againsl Parliament that it talks to much, in fact, the rules had to be changed lately to cut down the loquacity in the Commons. The subject is a painful one, being closely allied to that of free speech, long sessions, and other cherised rights of the thoughtful and moderate minorities. But because there has been an overindulgence in the gift of speech, that does not mean that all the members are equally guilty or that the cruel and barbarous punishment distantly referred tei above, bears with equal severity and hardship upon all. On the contrary, and also far be it from so. There are men in Parliament who never open their lips in debate from one end of the session to the other. That adds to the chance of those who count that A magnificent new residence, splendidly equipped with every modern convenience essential to the highest quality of service, modeled after the most famous of great Eastern residence mortuaries, affording funeral direction under quiet, refined and homelike surroundings, presided over by chiefs and staff of licensed and trained directors, embalmers and matrons, we shall, with increased facilities and staff, be in a position to express our highest ideals.
