At times the Colonist prints some very remarkable editorials, especially bearing in mind that it is a Conserva- newspaper. One of the most remark- appeared ou Thursday last on the Ijcct of the British Budget and Tariff form. The whole article was'written lin the standpoint and conviction of a ge Trader., Indeed some of the prin-' es enunciated would entitle the writer Irank as a strict Cobdenite. The main Mention was that the British people will le to swallow the Lloyd George Budget ■ether they like it or not, that the pro- It of the Lords will avail nothing', that [riff Reform is almost, if not quite a lid issue, and that there is little likeli- fcd of England abandoning or materially Idifying her Free Triide policy. To this (added the comment that after all it is ' business of Canada's, and we could affect to be indifferent to whatever results. bw as a matter of fac-t everyone of these Iiclusions is erroneous and betrays a Inentable ignorance, not only on actual petitions, but of the trend of public opin- in England and the probable issue of _ 'conflict. As to whether Tariff Reform |a dead issue could only remain a matter doubt to "one" who has not followed the |urse of events- hi' England for the' last veil years. 'When Mr. Chamberlain an- lamced his propaganda he was met with J storn'i of opposition, 'such subversive lonoiuic doctrines as'he enunciated were Jiclared to constitute a menace to the luntry, and there was a loud call on the Irt of the Free Traders for a closing the ranks and concentrated effort to lerwhelm the Free Traders. Mr. Bal- |ur not only held aloof but was at first stinctly hostile, today he has adopted ! platform on behalf of the Conservative arty, and has won most of the bye-elec- bns through making it the paramount sue. This shows that both the people lid the leaders have been aroused to the pcessity for doing something in the dire-ion advocated by Mr. Chamberlain. That proposals will be accepted in their en- rety, at any rate for many years to come, len he did not expect, but that the prin- Iple of Imperial preference has been ac- ppted by the country no close observer an doubt. It is its development which rill be watched with the keenest interest. fo suggest that Canada is, or can afford be indifferent is to miss the point of jlauadian interests. A few words will late the case in this respect: Ten years go the Canadian Government voluntarily 1'ered England a Trade preference which las been in operation ever since. Mr. fielding, the Finance Minister, on the luthority of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, announced that this was a purely voluntary |ffering and that Canada looked for nothin return. At the next Colonial conference Mr. Fielding had to tell a different ltpry, for meanwhile the subject had been tebated from one end of the Dominion the other and Mr. Fielding told the British Government that. Canada did exact quid pro quo" for the Preference, and Ihat while she would not dictate as to the ■react form it should take he suggested that reciprocity would be obtained by taxing lie raw products of other countries and lllowing the colonies to send theirs in ree. Naturally the Cobdenites stigmatized this as a scheme to raise the cost of lhe poor man's loaf and fought it for all lhey. were worth, but they have never yet overcome the argument that the cost of the poor man's loaf bears a very distinct relation to its ability to pay for it, and that with so many people out of employment and on the verge of starvation a system which would find them occupation and increase their earnings might well enable them to pay a little more for the loaf. However the point The Week wishes to make is this that there will be no Preferential Tariff within the Empire at the instigation of the Lloyd George Party, and the only possible chance for any ineasure of reciprocity is if the Tariff Reform Party get into power. This indjpates a. very lively interest in the whole, subject for Canada, and those whoj have followed the subject closely will* be surprised if .the.; ultimate outcome of Mr. Chamberlain's propaganda is not to. establish a new- departure in inter-Imperial trade which Avill benefit the Empire as a whole at the expense of competitors who have for so long crippled the Mother Country. This week Seattle has erect- An Empire G_[ a monument to the Builder. memory of J. J. Hill, whom it has fallen down, and worshipped, and whom it designates as ' the Empire Builder of the West." No doubt the eminent Canadian who has contributed so much to the development of the country lying West of Minneapolis and 8l. Paul is deserving of a liioiiuiuont; many men who have done less have been so honoured, and The Week is quite willing to add its little hurrah! to the greetings which were tendered the railway magnate by the people of Seattle. It, however, has a little account of its own to settle with him, and perhaps this is an appropriate time to bring the matter forward and remind the "empire builder" that the people of British Columbia are not altogether satisfied with his conduct. Five years ago, after a tremendous lobby fight at Ottawa, he secured control of McLean Bros, charter for the V. V. & E. railway. In order to do this he made some very big promises and made them with a great deal of emphasis and vehemence. One was that the line would be completed from Midway to the Coast within..two years, another was that after crossing the boundary at Oroville it would be constructed entirely upon Canadian territory. Many people, and especially those familiar with Mr. Hill's previous railway exploits in this Province, disbelieved both statements; they were even so unkind as to go further and suggest that he never intended to complete the line on Canadian territory, but that when he reached Princeton he would turn South and find an outlet to Everett by way of the Skagit and Roche Rivers. For the faith that was within them these people were able to cite the evidence of numerous surveys by men in Mr. Hill's employ along the latter route, and in view of the fact that the up-building of American industries by the transportation of Canadian raw produce was known to be one of the cardinal doctrines of Mr. Hill's commercial creed, they felt sure that if he could have his way the ultimate destination of the ores and mattes of the Similkameen and Boundary would be the smelters of Everett. All this took place five years ago and what are the facts today? First, that Mr. Hill has only completed his railway to Hedley City and is already shipping the products of the Hedley mines camp and of the lower Similkameen Valley to the American side of the line. Beyoiid Hedley construction lags although grading is not far from Princeton. It is now an open secret that Mr. Hill's representatives have made urgent representations that they should be allowed to construct the Western end of the railway down the Skagit river, under the plea that the Hope mountain summit, while not actually impracticable, is too costly, and they even shy at the more tortuous but cheaper route by the Coquihala. Thus after five years the cat is out ,of the bag, and Mr. Hill wants to dp. exactly what was predicted by those who opposed his acquiring of the charter. In these premises tlfee iS'only one tiding to be said, that whether Mr. Hill builds south or not he must be compelled to complete .the line direct tp the coast on Canadian territory. It is' not necessary at this late day to discuss thc advantages whicli the Boundary and Kootenay countries expect to derive from this railway. They arc known* even to school children. The line if completed by the Hope Summit will bring the Kootenay within ten hours of the coast, to the enormous advantage of the inner country as well as the merchants at Victoria and Vancouver. The question of cost must not be allowed to enter into the matter because it was always known that the Hope Mountain would present engineering and financial difficulties, but Mr. Hill's surveyers were as well acquainted with these when he was fighting for the charter as they are today, and the people of British Columbia will look to the Provincial Government to see that construction is completed on the fees originally provided for. There is no reason to doubt that they are,fully alive to the importance of this, and that "the Empire builder" of the West will find that the Premier of British Columbia, who made sucl} graceful references to the Seattle monument carries "within a velvet scabbard a sword of steel" when British Columbian interests have to be fought. Editorial Comment. The editor of the Okanagan thinks that the editor of the The Week "is a pretty fair example of a partisan run wild." The editor of The Week is not quite sure what the editor of the Okanagan is a "fair" example of, but is quite certain that he is in the habit of writing editorials on matters of moment without taking the trouble to acquaint himself with the facts. To receive the compliment of half the editorial space of a small weekly is very gratifying to one's "amour propre," but it would be even more agreeable if the itfiticism were based upon an intelligent conception of the facts. The editor of The Week may be "an arm chair critic" but the editor of the Okanagan is the first to dub him a "bigot". The topic of the moment in Vancouver Victoria is the development Island. 0f Vancouver Island. Ev erything must give way to that because at last it is realized that the future of the Capital depends on the development of the hinterland. To this end the Island Development League is working over-time. Thc Government is being importuned t olend its aid. The Transcontinental railway companies are being urged to invade the island, and make it the Western terminus of their system. The movement is backed by the press, and with so many helpers should not lack success. The resources of the Islaud have been carefully studied and extensively advertised. Mr. Lugrin s pamphlet, to which The Week has previously called attention, is an admirable production and cannot be too freely used. The sum of $500 has just been set apart for a re-print, but the main thing is to get the endorsation of the Government for some practical scheme which will materially advance development. Surface road construction they have already undertaken, and public works of various kinds are under way and will be pushed by the energetic minister who has recently assumed command. In this respect the Government is taking good care of the situation, btu the important point is to secure additional railway construction, aud this cannot be doue without Government assistance. The question is, what price the Province is willing to pay for immediate construction. If tlie inducement is sufficient there is reason to believe that the Canadian Northern will do more than establish a ferry service to A'ictoria. A site has been suggested north of Sydney, from which a line could be built to the Capital, and which would materially shorten the time of communication between the Mainland and the Island. It is hoped that this scheme may tako definite shape in a short time. In addition the C.P.R. must be exJ tended to the North, and the Barkley Sound railway should also be pushed. This is a pretty extensive programme, but not at all beyond the reasonable requirements of the Island. Any money expended in this direction will secure a prompt return; indeed there is no part of Canada in which valuable natural products are so coin- pressed into a small area, and when once Vancouver Island begins to move there will be something doing that will astonish the whole of the Dominion. It may be too early to say The Spanish that the Spanish revolution Revolution. bas petered out, but evidence certainly points in that direction. A week ago it was thought possible that the Bourbon Dynasty would see its finish, and that Alfonso would have to flee for his life. Prompt, decisive, action on the part of the Government has averted a crisis. Don Jaime, the Pretender, showed more discretion than might havc been expected, and refused to become a candidate for the block. The Government shot down the rebels by the hundred, and undoubtedly instilled terror into their ranks. The result has been temporarily to suppress rebellion, and to drive the conspirators into retreat. Whether the revolution is killed or merely scotched it is too soon to conjecture, but there are many evidences that the latter is nearer the truth than the former. Disaffection is widespread. The action of the Government in Morocco is strongly disapproved of, and there may be a difficulty in carrying on the war. The masses have risen in Spain, as in France, against the monasteries. Indeed tliere are many signs whieh point to a general upheaval, and the portent of a change which will usher in a more democratic form of Government, and the same predominence for the labouring classes in Spain as they have attained in other civilized countries. It has been a long time since a review of European affairs revealed so many elements of discord. THE WEEK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 7, 1909 Modern Tendencies By BOHEMIAN. 1 have been thinking of some modern tendencies and have almost come to the conclusion that one of the most obvious is the development of cosmopolitanism. In this connection there arc two startling facts which almost constitute a paradox. Tiie one is that intercommunication of various kinds is rapidly eliminating the boundary lines of different nationalities, its antithesis is that national traits arc not thereby materially modified. To illustrate: Thc world is more truly one today than ever it was. This oneness has been effected by the railway and the telegraph, any happening of importance is Hashed to every civilized country, and by an ingenious arrangement of press agencies and newspapers circulated in every village and almost every hamlet. It seems incredible for the twentieth century to pick up an old magazine of the eighteenth, and read of important battles, the result of which was not known in London until several weeks later. The railway, if not so swift in its operation has possibly affected even more than the telegraph in bringing men of different countries together. To know each other has been to respect each other, and to realize that differences and distinctions do not necessarily imply inferiority. It is only a few years since the outside world thought of Siberia as one vast frozen desert, and one huge imperial charnel house for political prisoners. The Trabs-Siberian Railway has been a great educator, its chief service to mankind has not been to furnish a means for transporting the produce of thc country, but to enlighten the world as to the vast- ness and the possibilities of a great Empire, and at thc same time it set a limit to the possibilities of Rus- Stim persecution. "Cecil Rhodes'*dream of a Cape to Cairo Railway is being realized, and already the romance of the Dark Continent surpasses in interest the material advantages of a railway. These two great developments of science and civilization, the telegraph and the railway, arc everywhere breaking down barriers, and joining their common forces to the moral influences which are working towards a realization of the brotherhood of man. The outcome of this greater facility of communication is seen in International organizations, especially ini connection with labour. Indeed throughout' the civilized world the solidarity of labour has been realized, and International Congresses itinerating from one country to another mark the progress of industrial development. There is a oneness of purpose and a definiteness of aim. The elementary demands of labour are being complied with, first among them longer hours and larger wages. Following this came improved conditions for the toiler, both in the prosecution of his work and in his home. But organized labour the world over is rising beyond these elementary considerations to the study of economics, and is taking a hand more and more in legislation and government. Just what the issue of this universal solidarity may be, it is premature to conjecture, but. it will make itself felt in many ways, and in sonic conspicuously, probably its first effect will be to rally the forces of labour against militarism. And this brinks' me to consider the respect in which; my antithesis is correctly stated, that national and racial characteristics have not been modified, and that they prevail in the last issue. Thus while thc English, the German, and the French workmen will combine to obtain an advantage from the employer, they are just as ready as ever to light each other ill what is conceived to be a national interest. There is no reason to believe that this tendency will ever be Hot Point Electric Flatirons We have just received a shipment of these famous irons. They do splendid work; are economical and handy.

The old proverb that "blood is thicker than water" is a truth not modified in the least degree even by the most obvious of modern tendencies, Wishing Him a Long Life. Richardson, the painter, used to speak of an honest, open country gentleman who one day asked him to come to his house, adding: "I wish very much to see you, for I have just purchased a picture of ubens.

Certainly, a nation whose every individual thought with one mind and had the same practical outlook on all matters would be most formidable; but would the world as a whole be such a pleasant place as it is at present? 1 personally should not like to live in it if everywhere I I went I was compelled to meet and *. talk to replicas of (let me call them) Mrs. Brown and Mr. Smith. These two people are the embodiment of the principle of common sense as generally understood. Mrs. Brown adjusts her clothing according to the barometer. Heat spells lind her provided with light garments; while the treacherous cold of these May evenings never catches her napping—extra wraps never fail to be close to Mrs. Brown's hand. Her food follows all the laws of proportion. Do you dine with her, you. may bc sure that your system will be recuperated with just thc proper amount of proteids, carbohydrates, and all the rest; and so much does common sense hover over the table that, however much you would like to transgress hygienic rules by asking for a second helping, you | would never be desperate enough to <_ do it..■. I always pity Mrs. Brown when she has a party to whom she has not been able to explain her.care '!• for their individual well-being, and the members of which sometimes ne- " gleet one dish'' and have double the prescribed amount of another. In other people's houses Mrs. Brown still shows her common sense. She regards the menu as an insidious attempt at poisoning, but she valiantly brings her common sense to bear, and, by contenting herself with infinitesimal helpings and explaining to her neighbours the injurious properties of everything they are eating, she manages to get through with equanimity. As for Mrs. Brown's children, except through the ill-placed charity of servants and friends, who give them surreptitious feasts, they would be ignorant that food had any flavour outside of milk-pudding and vegetable puree. At school their mother's common sense gives them the distinction of feeling that they are never dressed like the other boys and girls. But Mrs. Brown's virtues would need a book for their detailing—and I have not yet touched on Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith is sixty-five—a small, spare man. He has very scanty hair, which he gets clipped once a week. By this method his common sense tells him his hair is never allowed to grow so long that its removal will give him a cold. In clothes he sticks strictly (for all occasions) to a Norfolk coat and a soft collar—to the despair and humiliation of his wife and daughters, who have to be continually explaining him away. He is a believer in a "joint" dinner and a cold bath in all weathers. Need I say more? Everyone who knows them will tell you that they never met two people with more common sense than Mrs. Brown and Mr. Smith —yet everyone avoids them as much as possible. BABETTE.

Victoria Theatre. On Wednesday night a dramatized version of Elinor Glyn's "Three Weeks," was staged at the Victoria Theatre. The Company was poor, the mountings poor, and the play rotten. Miss Beryl Hope may not unfairly be called the wreck of an emotional actress; she is totally un- suited both in appearance and style for such a part as that of the Queen of Sardalia. The only redeeming feature of the play was the admirable work of the young Englishman, and even he was not well suited to the part. People who went expecting a sensation looked for it eagerly through three acts and a prologue, but were disappointed. There was not even a thrill. The only attempt at one was in the balcony scene which was cribbed wholesale from Sapho. The play is if possible, worse than the book, and that is saying a great deal. The New Grand. . Manager Jameson is giving an excellent show at the New Grand this week; in fact I do not know when I have enjoyed myself more at the chief vaudeville house. The best turn, and it is a thriller, is that given by the- two Woods, flying ring artists; it is fine. The highest class turn is that of Vera de Bassini, the Italian nightingale, who has a beautiful soprano voice and uses it like an artist. The whole show is excellent, but these two turns are exceptionally good and have been witnessed by packed houses at every performance. .Next week a versatile bill is.com- ing to the New Grand theatre, commencing at the Monday matinee and consisting of a Scotch singer, a comedy playlet, and a high class vocalist. Tom , and Stasia Moore, known throughout the length and breadth of the landv are the pair that promise a jiew production here. They will offer a repertoire of songs and dances and both are premier singers renowlied in their line. ■■■.■,:■•■... George • Edward Murphy, Walt Whitman and Florence Bates Hors- fall are bringing a comedy playlet of the right kind entitled "The Prodigal Girl," and dealing with American politics with a heart story interwoven. Billy Court, in "A. Wee Bit of Scitch Laughter," Mr. and Mrs. „J. May Smith, high class comedy sketch entitled "Is Marriage a Failure," and Anna Merrill, a well known and successful vocalist, are the other turns. The bill contains variety enough to suit all and the most exacting is sure to be satisfied. Thomas J. Price's voice will be heard to special advantage in "The Holy City," which will be illustrated with views sixteen in number, and new French comedy motion pictures will bring the bill to an end.

Victoria Country Club &MEET IS A SUCCESS This is pleasurable; it shows the great interest taken in British Columbia in good horseflesh and a clean, manly sport. The most perfect type of race horses, and well set up, are to be seen daily on tlie Willows track. Victorians are satisfied and.the stranger within our gates is delighted that our beautiful city is not so dead as is it painted, and he goes avyay smiling, and declaring that he has seen "The 'best race ever run, sir." Cheers go up for the favorite and afterwards on the "home stretch," G. H. Mumm and Co.'s champagne proves an easy lirst. Nothing so fit as Mumm's Selected Brut or Extra Dry to drink, to the health of the winner. Speaking of champagnes, the rest of the field never have a chance to be in the money. It is "Mumm's," "Mumm's" all the time with the class of people who drink champagne, because this class must have the best procurable. Q*f^f**fy***tir**»***X**fytQ At The Street a) Corner » . By THE LOUNGER I happened to be lounging in the temporary quarters of the Council at the City Hall when the Mayor and Water Commissioner Raymur made their historic onslaught on the poor reporters. A sense of justice impells me to declare that in the case of thc Water Commissioner at any rate, the incident has been magnified, or at any rate has been taken too seriously. As far as the Mayor is concerned, I am not so sure that he is entitled to much consideration in the matter, although it is hardly in keeping with a him because he is no longer a "persona grata" to the Liberal party. Unfortunately his record in connection with press matters is not spotless, for whatever may have happened this week, it is an undoubted fact that hc excluded thc reporters from a committee meeting a few weeks ago. I much fear that our worthy Mayor belongs to that numerous class of public men who are willing. to take all the pap that the press will give them, but will not swallow their medicine. The press has been very kind to Mayor Hall. It placed him in his present position; he has not been a shining success and it might easily have held him up to ridicule, ancl convicted him of inconsistency and playing to the gallery. That it hasrefrained from doing so to any considerable extent may or may not be accounted into it for righteousness, but at any rate it disentitles the Mayor to adopt any attitude of tru- culence when dealing with the members of "the fourth estate." * * w I have been much amused at the inconsistency not only of the promoters of the movement, but of the members of the City Council who are advo eating a new by-law to rigidly enforce Sunday trading. It is the straining of a good principle which amuse* me, and the struggle on the part of the Aidermen to square themselves with the so-called reform element in view of what will happen in January next.

A week Jter, after having been interviewed some of their constituents, they ll flopped over except Alderman lumber, who alone remained true ! his colours. , I fail to see how men H10 "Gee" and "Haw" like this can btpect to retain public confidence. In liis connection I anh, reminded of the [act that the promoters of Sunday ■losing have shifted their ground, j hey always denied that they had a l*ligious object, and contended that lhey siiivpljr wanted t'o secure one day pf rest in seven for all men. Then lhey abandoned this and adopted the Iconomic aspect of the question, and low they have passed to the patriotic, Ind we are told that the object of f»nday closing is to build up a Ca- lada.of lofty idcsls. In a matter' of lucli hioniei_t',;>aii$ upon-the principle j)f which there is no difference of Ipinion, it ouglit not to be necessary lo shuffle, the ground of contention Ihould be chosen and maintained, consistency in advocating Sunday [losing would go a long way to en- lure it. * * * 1 have heard many comments on |lie new observation car which the B.C.E.R. havc put on the Victoria lines, and they are all favourable. By common consent it is the best car If its kind in thc West, and I do not inow that there is anything better In the East. I wish, however, that were possible for the Company to lake out of commission some of the little, old, see-saw cars, which so ef- lectually simulate thp rocking and lolling motion of a ship at sea. I enow for a fact that lady passengers frequently suffer from "mal-de-mer" Ivhile riding in them, probably they Ire booked to go at an early date, lind certainly none of them will be piissed. * * * I understand that the tramway company arc going to erect one or two fhelters for passengers on the Foul Jay line. I want to put in a plea for |.iie at the crossing of Moss and May Itreets, and another at the intersection of Dallas Road and May Street, Iiear the West entrance to the Cemetery. At both points there are many passengers and no shelter of any |<ind. I am sure the genial manager Ivill only require to read this note Before giving instructions for carrying ont such a modest request. * * * I want to pay a tribute to the ex- .llence of the Moving Picture shows In Victoria. There arc four in oper- lilion, two as an addendum to vaudeville, and two as the whole show. Looking back over the last few years fci'ii'ce this form of entertainment be-, tame so popular, T notice a vast improvement both in the character of lhe films and the class of subjects. ■Many of them now are real works Ijf art, and new features are contin- lially introduced which greatly improve the picture and increase the Ifect. T saw a very fine series at the Romano this week; they bore the trade mark of "Pathe Freres," and were reproduced in sepia. I cannot but think that the French films are far superior to any others, they arc not only sharper and clearer but more artistic in connection and ar rangement. The Empress has;, a splendid show, and does* a big business right along, in fact I imagine that it is the success attained by this, the premier, picture show house, which has enticed the Romano into the business. People measure the progress of Victoria in various ways; I believe that one very fair test is to be found in the fact that whereas four years ago there was only one vaudeville and popular show house, there are now four;,and the standard theatre, the Victoria, does a better business than eyer. rfc*^£^ V A C A TION toilet It is "going-away"* time and we would-like you to remember the fact that we have the'rfiost' complete stock of sundries carried by any drug store in the •' west: - -' ., • Hair and Fancy Combs, Hair Brushes, Bath Brushes, Soaps, Sponges, Rubber Goods, Tooth Pastes, Powders, Perfumes, Face Preparations, Tooth Brushes, etc. Everything for the up-to-date person.
