No./8<V THE WEEK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 1910 One Dollar Pee Annum SIR WILFRID LAURIER e welcome accorded to Sir AVilfrid er during his recent visit to Victoria ;coeded in heartiness, spontaneity and [resqueness anything that his most ar- well-wishers could have anticipated. ,s a recognition of tlie high personal icter, tho lofty ideals and the success- [mblic service of Canada's foremost m. From the moment when the Prin- Charlotte hove within sight of the _al City until the Prince George sail- |way from the wharf on Thursday _, with our illustrious guest, Sir AVil- was the subject of general interest, image and of felicitation from every m of the community, and of the courtesies whieh the Provincial Gov- ent, City Officials and private eiti- conld tender. Sir Wilfrid must have with a thorough appreciation of the l-mindedness and the hospitality of sh Columbia; and to a man of such |e temperament it cannot but be that experiences tone down the asperities Iditical life and furnish very delight- ases in the arid desert of party strife, ne has been more prompt than he to niso that the character of his recep- \ was determined by Premier Mc- I. _ thoughtful initiative; its non- zan aspect rendered it possible for rone to participate, aud the gracious- and lavishness of the Government nonial left its impress on every func- (of Sir Wilfrid's visit. Now that he ;one thoughtful men will begin to ap- e the true significance of his Western especially as it relates to Britisli Col- (lia; and he himself in the last hours \a memorable visit invited attention to distinctly political aspects of his pillage by the character and tone of his ih in the Horse-show Building. THE PUBLIC MEETING I. is doubtful whether the reception in Parliament Buildings on Wednesday it or the enormous gathering in the se-show Building on Thursday night the greater tribute to the personal lilarity of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Tt is Lable that nowhere west of Toronto, [certainly never before in Victoria, has Jlargo an audience been gathered to- ler to hear an address. Too much se cannot be given to the Committee ilanageinent for the admirable arrango- its. There Avere five thousand people lie building, every seat was occupied several hundred could not even get Ide; yet there was no crushing, no dis- ler and no noise. A staff of ushers was |iciously placed and tlieir instructions erfully carried out. The musical con- Initions of the Fifth Regiment band held attention of the vast audience until I arrival of the speakers. Mr. Pauline Mr. R. B. McMicking wove alert and efatigable, and under tlieir control [rytliing went smoothly. Mr. Herbert singing of "Tho Maple Leaf" fck the keynote of Canadian sentiment, was a sufficient introduction of the ions part of the programme. If it had 1 possible to commence the meeting '-an-hour earlier and to curtail the pre- nary speeches it would have been bet- ias the audience became a little iinpa- t before Sir Wilfrid arose; but pro- ? y the arrangement was due as much nything to a desire to give the honour- gentleman as long a rest as possible Ir the arduous labours of the day. Sir frid was accompanied by the lion. G. Graham, the Hon. William Temple- I, Mr. Ralph Smith, Mr. E. M. Mac- ikl, Mr. F. F. Pardee, Senator Riley, John Jardine, Mr. AV. II. Brewster, Lt.-Col. Currie. HON. WM. TEMPLEMAN Hon. William Templeman was Ihe first speaker. He took occasion to refer good- humouredly to the fact that he no longer represented the City of Victoria at Ottawa. The AVeek, however, ventures to differ from the honourable gentleman in thc statement that "this fact was due to circumstances over which the Liberal party had no control." In saying this The AVeek has no desire to rob the Conservative party in general, and Mr. G. IT. Barnard in particular, of the credit of a very notable victory, and one which before the evening was over the audience had an op- ticular organ, whicli, in season and out of season, never ceased to vilify Premier McBride, Attorney-General Bowser and other conspicuous political allies of Mr. Barnard. Thc vilification whicli Mr. Templeman allowed his own organ to indulge in may or may not have been "a circumstance beyond his control," and "beyond the control of his party"; but on that point there may fairly be a difference of opinion. In any event this phase of the question was carefully kept in the background, as also the undeniable fact that Mr. Templeman is admittedly laying his plans to secure the local nomination at the next election, and portunity of knowing rankled considerably in the mind of the defeated minister and his illustrious chief. It is probable tliat neither Mr. Templeman nor the local Liberal leaders have whispered into the ear of the Premier the well-known fact that Mr. Templeman long ago ceased to lie a "persona grata" to his own party, and tliat his defeat was due quite as much to the defection of men who had been accustomed to fight under his banner as to the aggressiveness of his political opponent. It is also probable that Sir AVilfrid was not informed that Mr. Barnard's success was materially assisted by the tactics of the Hon. AVilliam Templeman's own par- that unless tlie opinion of his own party undergoes a complete change, he will not even secure that. MR. E. M. MACDONALD After a few fitting remarks from IMr. Ralph Smith, who is an admirable platform speaker, Mr. E. M. Macdonald, the doughty member for Pictou, and the gentleman who attained to such notoriety by badgering Major Hodgins and Mr. Lumsden in the G. T. P. engineering investigation, was called upon lo speak. He is physically a strong man and has a powerful voice; lie is of the type of Eastern politicians represented in a past generation by D. C. Fraser of Guysboro', and James Conniee; he is loud, strident and emphatic, but by no means logical or consistent. He made many statements whicii wcre not in accordance with the facts, such as that "Sir AVilfrid was the first man ten years ago to advocate Colonial help for Britain in the Boer War," and that "he was the initiator of the idea of Imperial Defence," and again that' the attitude and action of Canada in the recent crisis was the same as that of Australia." But, perhaps, the tallest order of all to which Mr. Macdonald gave utterance was contained in the statement that "Laurier echoes the aspirations of the people of British Columbia." Such a statement echoes Mr. Macdonald's ignorance of the aspirations of the people of British Columbia, unless one is willing to assume, unwillingly, that he was merely talking for the benefit of Eastern papers whose reporters were present. It is singularly unfortunate for Mr. Macdonald's argument that the aspirations of the people of British Columbia are only voiced at Ottawa by two Laurier followers out of seven members. If the Laurier policy voices our aspirations, it is a pity that the constitutional method of representing popular sentiment has failed to give it effect. Mr. Macdonald may be pardoned for the style of address which he adopted in view of the exigencies of the case and the necessity for saying something which would read well in the East. HON. G. P. GRAHAM He was followed by the Hon. G. P. Graham who made an admirable speech and produced an excellent impression. Mr. Graham is a thoughtful, reasonable, logical speaker, who eschews the meretricious methods of tlie member for Pictou, and deals with facts and figures. In this respect he is not unlike Mr. Fielding, and strikes one as anxious to build ti]) his address upon a solid foundation, He dealt chiefly with financial and transportation matters and frankly acknowledged, in coiitra-distinction to his voluble predecessor, that it was not Sir AVilfrid Laurier but Sir John Macdonald who initiated the immigration policy which is building up the AVest and the transportation policy which links tlie Pacific with tlie Atlantic. True, he claimed that on the death of that great man the progress of both policies was checked, a statement which cannot be controverted, and which does not detract in tlie slightest from the claim freely conceded by Jir. Graham that it was Sir John's prescience, sagacity and statesmanship whicii laid the foundation for lhe aggressive Canada of today. SIR WILFRID'S SPEECH Sir Wilfrid Laurier had a very hearty reception on rising. The applause was genuine and universal, but lhe impartial observer must chronicle that it was nut very prolonged, and on subsiding was not renewed. This remark is not made to depreciate its significance so much as to differentiate between the manner in wliieh Sir AVilfrid was applauded here and the manner in which statesmen have been received in other parts of the Empire, and The AVeek believes that the true explanation lies in the fact that while everyone present wished to recognise the charming personality of the Premier, there was not that profound, sympathetic emotion which can only spring from absolute and even passionate identity of conviction. Sir Wilfrid made no pretence in liis address of a non-partizan campaign. He threw (Continued on Page 4) THE WEEK, SATUEDAY, AUGUST 20, 1910 At The Street Corner By THE LOUNOER We are told that this is a "Holy Week" and that Victoria has been much privileged by having the Quadrennial Meeting of the Methodist Church held within her walls. Doubtless, this is so. But there is an clement of Puritanism abroad which should be checked. I refer to an incident which occurred last Sunday. A man was peaceably working in his garden when a voice from the road summoned him to disist, because he was working on the Sabbath. The man, on looking up and finding that his persecutor was accompanied by two ladies refrained from his very natural intention of consigning the impertinent interlocutor to Halifax, or places of warmer clime, and merely remarked, "Oh, is that so; I really thought it was Monday. But, on the whole, I am glad I was mistaken, as it gives me an extra day." The impertinent man's retort is not recorded. But, is not such a thing ridiculous? Are we going to allow ourselves to drift back to the days of Puritanism. I trow not. The reaction in those old times was too great. We don't want to make our Sundays the bug-bears of a young child's life, as they were to me in my boyhood. We want to make them truly days of rest. I do not know at what exact time the above- mentioned incident took place, but I conclude that it must have been after Church hours, as otherwise the self- righteous hypocrite would have been on his knees. * * * What can there be wrong in gardening on a Sunday? The first man mentioned in the Book whicii these ultra-righteous people hold up as the guide and model to mankind was a gardener. The third, Abel, was a butcher, and the latter's offering was acepted, although hc probably did his butchering on the Lord's Day. If there is one humanising influence in the world after the care of children or dumb animals it is the cultivation of flowers and vegetables. The care of the latter is somewhat prosaic, I admit that, but to plant, to water, to watch and finally to gather the flower is to give a bigger conception of the Creator than will ever be found in the narrowminded compositions of the people who voice the Mosaic Law and say "Thou shalt do no manner of work on the Sabbath Day." But let not the above remarks be mis-understood as regarding a day of rest. I think that every man, woman and child should have one day of rest during the week. We can't all have it on the same day; that is obvious under modern conditions; but to countless thousands the very fact of being able to "garden" is sufficient recreation to carry them through thc following week. * * * A happy suggestion was made to me the other day. Since the passing and enforcement of the new Provincial Liquor Act most occupants of automobiles, hacks and other forms of vehicles carry with them bottles, thc said bottles being cast into the roadway when their owners have no further use for them. It has, therefore, been suggested that all automobiles, hacks, express waggons, etc., should be equipped with patent string bags on each side, such bags to bc used for the "dead soldiers." * * * I was once, some five years ago, nearly shanghaied. I went on board one of thc Empresses with a friend, and only rescued by heroic journcy- ings through thc stokeholds and a precipitous flight over thc rail of thc boat after the hawsers were cast off. Another gentleman, at present resid- in Victoria, suffered the reverse fate. He was "Yucatancd." Possibly this may be an unknown term. It describes the fate of an unfortunate man who, being bound for Australia, found the excellence of Victoria dinners beyond his expectation; armed with a bottle of Scotch he steered a somewhat erratic course to The Outer Wharf, and in some inexplicable manner woke up in the hold of "The Yucatan." By that time the liner was some three hundred miles on her way. More business for Victoria! * * * Some twenty years ago Mr. W. Jensen presented a flag-staff to the City of Victoria. It was erected on Beacon Hill and is one of the first points seen by the in-coming tourist. It is 112 ft. high, Beacon Hill stands on a higher level than the greater part of Victoria, and it was a most acceptable present. It was somewhat surprising that on an occasion such as occurred last Saturday, when General Sir Robert Baden-Powell reviewed the Boy Scouts of the Capital City, no flag was in evidence. The occasion was worthy of a flag, and the fact that none was flying is merely another example of the carelessness so often displayed by Municipal authorities when matters of great import are on the tapis, and of the ingratitude whicii universally prevails 'twixt man and man. For several months this same flag-staff has been without halliards; I am told that these somewhat necessary adjuncts to a flag are now in evidence. Such being the case we may confidntly hope that the Twenty-first century will be ushered in with a real, good- sized flag flying over Beacon Hill. * * * It is fairly obvious that the man who was originally responsible for the placing of the gratings in various parts of the city must have been :i bachelor. There are two on the Causeway and one just opposite Frank Leroy's cigar store on Government Street which are so constructed as to be perilous to babies in perambulators. I confess that such an idea would never have occurred to me, for I have passed and re-passed these gratings a thousand times, if I had not happened to have witnessed an accident the other day just opposite the store referred to. A lady was wheeling her infant in a perambulator when the wheel slipped into the grating. There was not very much harm done; I don't suppose the baby was more than violently awakened from its dreams, but at the same time it would be just as easy to have the bars of the gratings running crosswise to the pavement instead of being in the line of progression. * * * I fail to see why the B.C.E.Ry havc prohibited smoking on the back of their cars in Vancouver. Of course, theoretically, one is not supposed to ride on the back platform, but still men continually do so in order that they may smoke on the way; tllis privilege is now a thing of the past in the Terminal City. It is not a very great hardship and I think that the majority of "kickers" would cease from kicking if a reason were supplied for the order. I hardly think that in these days when smoking is so universal that any lady could be inconvenienced by platform smokers. Very few who have lived in Eastern Canada or have visited that district have failed to see "The Thousand Islands," whilst within a few miles of our city is a group which at least equals in natural beauty that on the St. Lawrence, and which would be a revelation to even those who have made the trip between here and Vancouver on the regular route. To enjoy the scenery thoroughly one should travel by the "College Widow" on her regular schedule or, better still, as a party of Victorians havc done on two Sundays within the last month, charter the boat and sail where you please. The expense is trifling while the accommodation is all that could bc desired and the chef cannot bc beaten. This is not intended as an advertisement, but as a hint to those who have not taken advantage of an opportunity to enjoy thc choicest portion of local scenery, evidently because it is not sufficiently known that the trip can bc arranged so easily and reasonably. Go and scc. Read tiie book of Nature; mark and learn.

(Written for The Week) (There is an old belief that if a flower or a tree is planted In the name of any person, it becomes in some mystical way symbolical of that person, and will wither or flourish according as the person's fortune may be). I know a garden where a cypress grew, Withered and died because it bore the name Of one fore-doomed. Not even the Tree of Glooms Could be and live, Named for the fate of one Fore-doomed to shade. As if it sensed the coming of her griefs, For very ruth it withered to the roots; While she lived on; Bearing the shadow of a mystic doom; Dear God of Griefs! Because of Death in Life, The Cypress died; Oh, Death with Life! Lord give our souls the life which conquers Fate. In that same garden at the self-same time Was Lilac planted in the name of one Whom God soon called. Year after year It lifted purpling plumes, Fragrant with Spring Into the vital air, As if it sensed the Spring she had in heaven; And bloomed for very joy that she had sun Beyond the shades, Within the Garden of the Living God, Dear God of Joys. Because of Life with Thee the Lilac blooms; Oh, Life—past Death! Lord give our souls the Life that wins to Thee.

Their hand to hand balances are startling and the smoothness and ease with which they execute the most remarkable stunts is surprising. Their offering which is styled "College Days," has the characteristic touch of atmosphere and is thoroughly enjoyable. The recent earthquake at Messina brought many disasters but that it did not crush out the spirit of music from its survivors is due to the musical ingenuity of Signor Bregtilia of the Royal Grand Opera of Messina. Lovers of classical music will lind a rare delight in this offering, whicii includes several extracts from tiie op eras, all of them offered with continental style and finish. The Venetian Trio are new to America, but they have made a substantial hit wherever they have appeared, not purely 01. sentimental grounds, but because of their rare musical excellence.

At the age of six s talented performer gave evidence great powers of reproduction, and ) years later she came under the tion of Miss S. F. Smith, of Sea lew, Dallas Road, where she re- iined for seven years. During this riod Miss Hall gave many recitals d was successful in being a prize nncr every year, finally, in 1904 en she was Miss Smith's best pupil, ining the gold medal. In this year . was offered two scholarships, one which she accepted, being the first itish Columbia holder of an East- 1 scholarship. Ks a vocalist Miss Hall has shown at ability, receiving her first train ing under Dr. Torrington, when she was a member of the Philharmonic Hall chorus at the time that Mde. Albani visited Toronto in 1895. Since her return to the Coast she has been a pupil of Mr. Bethune's, who is admitted to be the best vocal teacher in the Province, and has sung constantly. A large number of testimonials vouching for her proficiency in sight- reading and accompanying are in Miss Hall's possession, furnishing an additional proof of Miss Smith's excellent system of teaching and of her willingness to devote extra hours to those pupils who show that they possess talent. Whilst abroad with her mother Miss Hall will continue her musical studies in London, and may be expected to return a pianist of very high accomplishments.

His first attack was on the methods which defeated Mr. Templeman; he declared that "they were not honourable"; that "the Conservative party had resorted to gross mis-representation," especially as to his own attitude on the Oriental question, and that, but for this mis-representation Mr. Templeman would not have been defeated. All this is "ex parte" statement and special pleading. No doubt there was, as unfortunately tliere always is in political contests, a certain amount of misrepresentation, but in the one under consideration it was certainly not confined to the Conservative party; for what shall be said of tlie scandalous attack upon Mr. Bowser in connection with the importation of Oriental labour ? To say nothing of the continued mis-representation, of Mr. McBride's attitude on all the great questions at issue between the Conservatives of British Columbia and the Ottawa Government. Sir AVilfrid was more specious than logical when he declaimed against the charge that his Government favoured the employment of Orientals on railroad construction, because he entirely ignored the fact that the strongest political allies of his Government had made a desperate attempt to secure a special agreement for the employment of Orientals on the G. T. P. He ignored the report of Mr. Collingwood Schreiber which stated that the railway could not be completed for many years without the help of Asiatics, ancl the specific demand of Mr. Hays and his colleagues for the necessary permission. Sir Wilfrid could give Mr. McBride all the credit in the world for his lavish and courteous entertainment, but ho could not give him one jot of credit for legislation prohibiting the employment of Orientals, nor for voicing the sentiment of the people of British Columbia on this question and making his voice heard so effectively that the Ottawa Government was reluctantly compelled to turn down the proposition. And yet, in face of these facts, Sir Wilfrid goes on in the most specious and plausible manner to say that "the G. T. P. is being built and will soon be completed without any Oriental labour," and takes credit for that fact to himself and his Government. It is a pity that the responsible head of the Dominion Government is not better informed on the mere facts of the case. At the present moment, of the six hundred miles of the G. T. P. to be constructed in British Columbia not more than one hundred is graded; less than one hundred has the steel laid, and not a mile is in operation. Yet the whole is due to be completed within a year from date. Mr. C. M. Hays and Mr. Collingwood Scheiber say that it will be some years before it will be finished—blessed indefin- iteness. At any rate these are the actual facts and they ill consort with Sir Wilfrid's statement. ORIENTAL IMMIGRATION The Premier frankly declared that the subject of Oriental immigration was the most important one he had to discuss and was the one most intimately associated with tlie interests of the Liberal party. In discussing it he adopted a line which was bound to meet with some approval, because he took the high ground that in Jill his dealings with this subject lie was actuated by "patriotic and Imperial motives." In a fervid appeal he insisted that these considerations must out-weigh every other, and he made a strong declaration of loyalty to the British Throne which was quite uncalled for, because his loyalty has never been questioned, but the acute critic, and the political speaker has the right to bo subjected to acute criticism, while at once admitting the astuteness of this line of special pleading, must point out that it is not argument. When it is a question of patriotism and loyalty Sir AVilfrid Laurier anil his political opponents are on common ground; neither can claim a monopoly. It would have been more to the point if, as an experienced debater Sir AVilfrid had conceded this com mon ground and proceeded to discuss the question from tlie standpoint of policy and method; patriotism is' merely the preamble. Sir AVilfrid declared himself "inalienably and permanently opposed to placing the indignity of rejection on any Britisli subject, whatever the colour of his skin." Surely that is a gratuitous statement, for unconditional rejection of Hindus lias never been advocated by the Conservative party, least of all on the ground of "the colour of their skin." But Sir Wilfrid could not avoid the issue altogether, and he had to declare that, broadly speaking, liis policy was one of negotiation, whilst that of the Conservative party was that of legislation; and right here is the main issue. Sir AVilfrid claims to have settled the Japanese immigration question by "an amicable arrangement," under which only four hundred Japs a year can come into Canada; and he was able to state that the arrangement was being honourably carried out. But, no one knows better than Sir Wilfrid that such arrangements lack the force and permanence of a legislative Act, and especially in the case of Japan have we yet to learn how far that nation is to be trusted to observe an arrangement which has no more tangible basis than amiable consent. Already our Japanese allies are occasioning considerable uneasiness in London by the manner in which they are disregarding tlieir business arrangements, and it is the consensus of opinion in Threadneedle Street that they are unreliable and untrustworthy. So definitely has this become established in the minds of leading British financiers that they arc "shutting down" on Japanese investments. One does not want to misjudge a people who have so recently stepped into the ranks of the Great Powers, but unless the as- tutest men in London have misread their character, the Canadian Government has but frail guarantees for the permanence of a voluntary arrangement. Sir AVilfrid considered that he had done all that could be expected with reference to Chinese immigration by legislatively enacting the five hundred dollar head tax. In the end he committed himself to the emphatic statement that he favoured the 'restriction" of Oriental invasion; but this was the bare enunciation of a broad statement, and still left a yawning gulf which remains fixed between his reluctant and temporary action and the emphatic demand of the people of British Columbia voiced by Mr. McBride and Mr.~Barnard that such decisive steps should be taken by the Dominion Government as would render Oriental invasion by immigration an impossibility. It is rather significant that Sir Wilfrid in his concluding remarks on this great subject should have emphasized the "material advantages" to be gained by Canada through trading with the Oriental nations. Because both he and the Hon. Mr. Graham had earlier in the evening spoken in depreciation of a too material spirit, and in exaltation of a loftier ideal. But Sir Wil- frid's last word was one of solemn warning against imperilling the commercial possibilities which the aAvakening of the Orient opened up to Canada. No sane man ignores these possibilities, and of all men the people on the Pacific Coast realise how much of material prosperity thc future may have in store for then as the golden argosies in the coming years will ply between this frontier land and the shores of the Orient. But, the judgment of our people is not to be dazzled even by so fair a prospect, and Sir AVilfrid has yet a long way to travel before he realises that "the echoing of the sentiments of British Columbia" does not consist in an academic consent to some restrictive arrangement but in a recognition of the fact that the question is not in the last issue an economic but a racial one, and that at all costs this fairest province of the Dominion, which Sir Wilfrid himself admitted was in a fair way to tear the laurels of supremacy from the brow of Ontario, must and will be preserved absolutely and unqualifiedly as "a white man's country." If tho price of Oriental commercial relations is to be the surrender, or even the endangering, of this principle, then, whatever the sacrifice of material advantage to be sacrificed, British Columbia is not prepared to pay thc price. NAVAL DEFENCE The only other question with whicii Sir AVilfrid Laurier dealt was that of Naval Defence, and The AA'eek ventures to tliink that for so practised a debater he missed the real point of the controversy. He should, at least, have correctly stated the Conservative case. It is undoubtedly a fact that in the Conservative ranks there is not absolute unanimity of opinion as to the best means of giving effect to Canadian sentiment, as evidenced by the attitude of Mr. Monk in Quebec. This may be frankly admitted, but there is even less unanimity in the ranks of the Liberal party, ancl The AA'eek has the highest authority for stating that, to use a sporting phrase, the Dominion Government carried "the last ounce of weight" when they submitted their policy to the party, ancl that they had to whittle it down to the finest dimensions in order to ensure its passing. But that is not the point. The point is that Sir AVilfrid chose to represent the Conservative party as unitedly opposed to his policy of contributing warships to be built in Canada, while the fact is that their objection is not to this as "a part" of the Canadian policy but to it being accepted as "the Avhole policy." Time ancl again was this stated on Conservative platforms ancl in the Conservative press. Premier McBride in the two great Navy League meetings held in Arictoria Theatre declared that the Dominion Government" could not do enough to satisfy tho people of British Columbia." Let them do all they could to establish ship-building yards ancl dry clocks in Canada, but as that policy would necessarily take some years to mature let; them, meanwhile make an immediate gift of a substantial sum equivalent to two or more Dreadnoughts as a spontaneous ancl enthusiastic evidence of the loyalty ancl practical patriotism of the Canadian people. Sir Wilfrid knows that Mr. McBride said this; he knows, also, that Mr. Barnard supported him, ancl yet he comes clown to Arictoria and in discussing a question in which the people are so vitally ancl profoundly interested, ho ignores this phase, ancl elects to interpret tlie attitude of the Conservative party as one wholly ancl irrevocably opposed to the legislation of last session. It cannot be too clearly stated that such a contention does not fairly represent the position, and that the objection of the Conservative party is not to Sir Wilfrid's policy if it were merely an instalment, but to the fact that it ignores the spontaneous ancl enthusiastic sentiment, at any rate of the Conservative party. THE RESULT The AVeek had ever desire to do justice to Sir AVilfrid Laurier in whatever presentment he might make on the great questions which were bound to engage his attention in any public speech he might deliver while in British Columbia. It has waited with some curiosity to learn how he Avould square himself with the sentiment of our people in matters in connection with which his attitude had been so unsatisfactory as to lead to the practical annihilation of his partv. both in the Legislative Assembly and in the Provincial representation at Ottawa. Having heard him the only possible conclusion is that while his party, in their sore straits, asked him for bread he has given them a stone. Instead of meeting the arguments ancl thc legislative acts of the local Conservative leaders by showing logically ancl dispassionately that the action of the Dominion Government would give effect to the wishes ancl aspirations of the people of British Columbia, Sir Wilfrid contented himself with fervent declarations of loyalty, and solemn warnings against any step which would threaten the foreign relations of the British Government; ancl that in a city which is possibly the most loyal in the Empire beyond the Seas, and the least in need of any reminder of its obligations to thc Mother Country. Ancl he never even mentioned ' Better Terms." THE GOVERNMENT RECEPTION The AA'eek lacks space to do justic| the splendid reception provided by Provincial Government to Sir Wil Laurier. It was brilliant in the exti and in every particular, ancl could have been surpassed in picturesquenes appropriateness or in heartiness in any in the Empire. On such an occasio would be unfair not to mention names; the names of those who were I spicuously active in bringing aboutl success. Apart from the heads of De] ments ancl their deputies credit is par larly duo to Chief Langley, Inspi Palmer ancl the force of men under 1 control. Also to Mr. AA'allace, the flq for his artistic decorations; Mr. Rcj son, the caterer, who literally fed thousand people with something bl than loaves and fishes, ancl Mr. Kyanl ubiquitous janitor who kept an ey\ everything, ancl proved himself to most competent official. It is only i also to make special mention of the e lent arrangements for the quartering entertainment of the press-men, ancl the valuable assistance to these vis gentlemen rendered by Mr. C. H. bons, who relieved them of an imnJ amount of detail work, ancl left them| to enjoy Arictoria tho Beautiful.

A Timely Recognition The Provincial Secretary has addressed the following letter to Chief Langley.

My dear Chief Langley: On behalf of the Hon. Mr. McBride and the Members of the Executive Council, I wish to thank you for the admirable manner in which you and your men controlled thc crowds at the Reception yesterday. I can assure you that your services in this connection are very heartily appreciated by us. The unfailing courtesy and care with which your men handled the rather difficult situation was most commendable. ' You are fortunate in having such an efficient body of men under your care.

Hicks has distinguished himself in the journalistic arena by getting out a Daily Bulletin of the proceedings of the Methodist Conference. It is a well written and well illustrated paper, the first of its kind ever attempted, but so successful as to indicate a precedent likely to be followed. A noted statesman was very fond of riding on horseback and, being vastly conceited about his fine figure, wore stays to show It off. One day he was thrown from his horse and lay prone on the road. A farm labourer from a neighboring field ran to Ills assistance. The first aid man began to feel the statesman all over and suddenly yelled out to another labourer: "Run, • Jock, for heaven's sake, for a doctor! Here's a man's ribs running north ancl south instead of east and west!" Moriarlty had been badly hurt by falling from a scaffold, and after the ambulance had carried him away the question of breaking the news to Mrs. Moriarlty came up. "Send Hannlgan," suggested one of the gang. "He's just the man to break the news gradual—look how he stutters."

There will be special and general collections, and in the latter series the postal departments of many European and American countries will exhibit. King George, who is the "Director" of the Universal Postal Union Bureau, has consented to send his valuable collection of stamps for view. The value of the stamps belonging to collectors who have so far entered is estimated at £200,000, among the most valuable specimens being three Mauritius stamps.

The former has fubllshed at VICTORIA and VANCOUVER 1a world-wide reputation as one of |!08 Government Street, Victoria, B. C. W. BLAKEMOREJEditoi^ I have been looking out for the Iaily papers to make some reference 0 an interesting and remarkable fathering which took place in the •'mpress Hotel about ten days ago; (*ut beyond the usual "half-stick" it Received no attention, and an oppor- unity of telling a good story was ost. Atlhough I was an honored ;uest, and the occasion was wrapped [nore or less in a cloak of mystery, I 10 not think that I am over-stepping 'he bounds of professional etiquette 11 making an extended reference to he occasion. There had been a convention of thc Chiefs of Police of the Dominion at l/ancouvcr the day before. All the ifficial business of the Convention I lad been transacted there. Thc majority of the Chiefs had once more jurned tlieir faces Eastward, but the [vise minority, comprising about 'wenty, decided to make the trip to |'/ictoria on the generous invitation if our Police Commissioners and I "hief Langley. They were cntcrtain- •d at a banquet at the Empress and ifterwards a couple of hours were 'pent in an interesting discussion of aatters pertaining to police adminis- ration. I was greatly astonished to find |hat, contrary to one's general experience, men who had been so conspicu- . insly successful as executive officers, ;ould be so capable as speakers and ebaters. Unfortunately, I did not tanagc to gather many names but I |arned that the Chiefs or Inspectors ithe most capable and successful de tectives of the day. He is a man of medium height, well under fifty years •of age, keen, athletic and alert; with ,the glow of health on his checks and thc promise of being for many years to come the terror of expert criminals. Among the many celebrated cases which Detective Carpenter has handled, one of the best remembered was the Gaynor-Greene extradition case. These men were Pittsburg millionaires, charged with embezzling the funds of Uncle Sam's Government. They fled to Canada and successfully fought extradition, in which (they were undoubtedly aided by the Canadian Minister of Justice, for several years. Many of the incidents connected with the case wcre highly dramatic, and included a chase between fast tugs on the St. Lawrence and the abduction of the accused from a private room in the Windsor Hotel, j Montreal; but Detective Carpenter' never "let go," and finally his astute-1 ness and pertinacity so wore down the resistance of thc accused that, they realized the inevitable and sur- ] rendered. Their extradition was followed by conviction and a sentence. Detective Carpenter has rounded up many notorious criminals, but lie allowed one slick individual to slip through his lingers, while thc case was "sub judice." I refer to Chisholm, the manager of a Cold Storage Company in Montreal, through whose knavery the Merchants' Bank of Halifax, as it was then, but now the Royal Bank of Canada, was defrauded of an unknown amount, ranging anywhere from a quarter to half a million dollars, by mean of "dummy" cases. It was the custom for thc Bank to make advances on goods in storage; this, was done recklessly for a certain firm 1 nt'l finally it occurred to the Bank to send down a representativ: to check the goods. A young and inexperienced clerk was sent and time after time he counted thousands and thousands of cases, supposed to contain cheese, but subsequently found to be empty. This led to ,1 "cause cele- bre, in which many prominent men were involved, and one wealthy merchant named Baxter was sentenced to a long term of imprisonment; ! he was, however, liberated in a few months on a plea of ill-health, backed I up by a number of medical certificates to the effect that hc had only a short time to live. This happened ten years ago and if Baxter is not still alive and flourishing, I know that hc was a short time ago. Chisholm, thc arch-conspirator, was a witness; he gave evidence on two successive days and was regarded as the star witness for the prose cution. When the Court re-assem- | hied next day, Chisholm was missing and it soon devolved that he should have been in the dock instead of the witness-box. I havc never been ._h e to understand how he eluded the e> * of Inspector Carpenter. Possibly he was not suspected, but Donald Mac- Master, K.C, who had charge of the case could tell that Chisholm knew enough about the relations between the Bank, the Cold Storage Company and several prominent citizens to make il worth their while to get him out of their way and to cover his tracks. 1 heard thc case all through and havc often wanted to learn the sequel. Part of it may bc traced in the assignment of the property of Joshua Bell to satisfy the claims of the Bank; part in thc subsequent history of thc notorious Stanley Mine in Colorado, and still another phase in thc after career of G. M. Stewart who at the time was inspector of thc Merchant's Bank; shortly after was retired; then became General Manager of thc Sovereign Bank. After that it is not necessary to say any more, but to my mind the incidents of the Cold Storage Case arc linked up with thc defalcations of the Sovereign Bank and thc rc-iteratcd but unheeded demands by thc sharchold-1 ers for the prosecution of Stewart for the latter. I am afraid I havc digressed a little in devoting so much space to Detective Carpenter and his work; but it is fascinating. I must, however, say a word about Inspector Starke, who delivered a most thoughtful and effective address. He pointed out that the aim of the organization which had just held its convention was to raise thc standard of thc Police Force throughout the Dominion. In order to do this it was necessary to attract thc best men to the service, and the first step to secure this was the establishment of a fair scale of remuneration. In this connection he stated that Victoria and Vancouver compared favourably with any other cities in Canada, lie declared that the standard of the organisation was based upon Scotland Yard methods, and hc paid a high tribute to thc honesty and efficiency of thc Canadian forces from the Atlantic to the Pacific. In passing, he spoke of the popularity of Chief Langley of Victoria, who was highly esteemed by his confreres and had just been elected to the honourable position of a Councillor. Passing from generalities Inspector Starke discussed with great insight and intelligence the important topic of "paroling" prisoners, Whilst not at all opposed to clemency, and registering a very emphatic opinion in favour of humane methods of dealing with prisoners, he pointed out that the "parole" had many bad features, and was being carried to excess. He cited a number of very impressive incidents where notorious criminals had been "paroled" through political in- llucncc. Thc most striking will bear repetition; it was that of a man in Toronto who was convicted of burglary with assault; within a few months of his incarceration his lawyers and friends got busy. A petition was prepared and signed by nearly every Alderman, Professional man and Minister of Religion in Toronto, asking for his release on the ground that "it was his lirst offence, and that hc was thc sole sup porter of a widowed mother." The Police bitterly resented this action, and an investigation showed that the man was an habitual criminal, that he had already served scv- erl sentences, one in the Penitentiary, and so far from being the sole supporter of a widowed mother, he had squandered the whole of his mother's fortune in getting clear of his escapades. Of course, in the face of this the man was not liberated, but what shall bc said for the unanimity with which the best citizens of Toronto signed a declaration, every word of whicli was false? Inspector Starke concluded a very excellent address by pointing out that such a system established a Court of Appeal which was not legal, but political, and in thc highest sense inimical to thc public interest. He made an important announcement, however, in favour of "indeterminate" sentences, whicii would leave the option of "parole" in the hands of thc properly constituted authorities and dependent on thc good conduct of the prisoner. It is significant that Inspector Starke's remarks were endorsed by every subsequent speaker. On lhe whole, J was greatly impressed wilh the calibre and sincerity of the men who arc mainly responsible for thc absolute security of life and property in Canada. They may be less celebrated, because less conspicuous, than the North-West Mounted Police who have gained an unrivalled reputation, but their ideals arc the same, and no one could havc been present on this occasion without realising that here is a branch of the public service in whicli Canadians may place thc utmost confidence, and to which they can point with pride.

The yachts will bc handicapped, and the course will be a triangular one .starting off from the Dallas Hotel thence to a point off Esquimalt Harbour, then round Brotehie Ledge to point of starting. The Motor Boat races will take place on Saturday, August 27th. The Victoria Yacht Club held a week-end cruise last Saturday and Sunday. There was a strong breeze on both days and the sail was much enjoyed. One of the peculiar advantages offered to yachting in Victoria waters is that while there is invariably a good breeze, there is very seldom enough sea to be disagreeable, and the terrors of nial de mer arc reduced to a minimum. The long distance Power Boat Race from Ketchikan to Vancouver has proved disappointing as far as entries are concerned. August 15th was the date announced for the start of thc race, but the "Limit," owned by Messrs. Marriott and Fellows of Vancouver, was the only contestant at Ketchikan, None of the other boats from Vancouver went north on acount of engine troubles, and none of thc other Sound cities sent up representatives. However, Ketchikan made two entries, and thc three boats got away at 10:17 a- m* on August 16th. The Ketchikan entries wcre the Spark, 15-horsc power, and the St. Anthony, 17-horsc power. The Limit, driven by A. W. LePage of Vancouver, was handicapped 12 hours and 31 minutes with thc St. Anthony and 8 hours and 31 minutes with the Spark. The finish wil bc at English Bay Pier, Vancouver. The lack of entries is disappointing, especially to F. M. Toulscr, Secretary of the Pacific Power Boat Association, who has spent much time in making the arrangements for thc race. Let us hope that the Power Boat Association will have better luck next time, and incidentally that Victoria wil have an entry at the post on a future occasion. Vancouver has some votaries of the sport of sailing in members of the fair sex. Mr. Charles Otis Julian offered a trophy to promote interest in dinghy sailing among the ladies. Miss Marion Shaw captured the Julian Trophy with Mr. Brewster's dinghy, which rejoices in the unro- mantic name of "Flea." A good breeze prevailed over the Inlet and Miss Shaw won by a minute and forty seconds from thc "Ethel" steered by Miss Violet Thicke. Considerable indignation, not unmixed with alarm, has been aroused in the breasts of motor boat men by thc thoughtless way in which rubbish is being dumped in the Straits by thc garbage scows. A seasonable letter in the Colonist this week relates how a gentleman had his launch stopped dead by a large piece of coarse matting wound on the propeller. Fortunately he had a small sail on board or the launch would have been helpless on a lee shore. From Macaulay Point there was a long stretch of this matting presumably sulphur sacks from the Chemical Works. These thing**: *e a serious menace to small crnl and such dangerous rubbish should be burnt. The position of Commodore of the Victoria Yacht Club is now no sinecure. Since thc International Regatta Yachting and Power Boating has taken on a new lease of life, and den izens of the waterfront are realizing the advantages of Victoria waters and the necessity of keeping them clean. Commodore Cuppage is in receipt of general complaints in this direction. He says: "I shall bring every legitimate complaint before the proper authorities as the time has passed for the happy-go-lucky way of doing things, and the Victoria Yacht Club will bring every pressure to bear which will help to ameliorate the objectionable practices that now pollute the waters in and adjacent to Victoria Harbour. We want our harbour clean. It is small, shipping is increasing, and so is the amount of garbage and swill which is being dumped therein. There must be some way to rectify the nuisance, and we shall endeavour to do so in the interests of the community."

THE CHECK REIN To the Editor,—At a recent meeting of the Executive Committee of this Society, a letter was read from a correspondent relative to the cruelty of the excessive, and in many cases, unnecessary use of the check rein. I am requested by my Committee to address you on this matter, in the hope that this practice may, as far as possible, bc discontinued by those owning and driving horses. Admitting that under certain circumstances (arising 111 a i 111 y through imperfect training) some horses may need help to prevent them stumbling, it is most painful for lovers of animals to sec them braced up in the rigid fashion whicii is unfortunately the case daily in our streets, and our Society would most strongly plead for a more humane and considerate treatment. The Committee wish me especially to bring this matter to the notice of] the Executive of the Agricultural As- J sociation, and Judges at the forth- j coming Exhibition, in order that the 1 excessive use of the check rein may! be one point of disqualification. The j practical abolition of the custom in I the Old Country, is sufficient evi- j dence that the use of a tight check j rein is not at all necessary for the j comfort of the horse in going up hills, \ etc., or the safety of its driver. It! is the tightened rein in the driver's I hand that effectually helps the horse' when he stumbles. THOS. W. PALMER, Hon. Secretary S. P. C. A To the Editor of The "Week": Dear Sir,—It seems a pity that such a progressive City as Victoria, which takes great pride in its civic government and also the high stand-' ard of efficiency maintained in its po-i lice force, should be humiliated by' the action of a patrolman, through I his inability to act within thc bounds of his authority. An official of this class, not only becomes a nuisance to the public and his superior officers, but the comments and criticism passed are reflected upon the whole personnel of the police department, whom as we all know and look upon as a credit to our beautiful city. In the interests of comfort and convenience to pedestrians it is only right that thc police should keep the corners of our busy thoroughfares free from congestion and we are pleased to scc thc patrolmen endeavouring to do their duty in a gentlemanly manner without fear or favour, but when it comes to getting a little too assertive and boisterous it is time to put a check on. Last Saturday evening a friend of mine was standing on the curb between Johnson and Yates Streets, when suddenly an individual who is evidently an amateur in police and no doubt has misconstrued has not taken the necessary pains make himself acquainted with po law, turns upon this gentleman ; demands in an obnoxious manner t he step off the curb on to the re When politely told by this gentlem who by the way is one of the ole residents of the City and a taxpa that he was asserting himself much, the ignoramus calls the pati waggon and hustles his prisoner the depot. When one considers t the patrol waggon is not meant joy rides, also the time lost by police officers and the inconvenie caused the man by the time taken on red tape, etc., it seems incredi that such an individual should be lowed to masquerade under the na of a policeman.

Beresford's Advice •essing the cadets of thc Royal College, Osborne, on Tuesday, il Lord Charles Beresford urg- n them the value of discipline. Proper discipline, he said, inspired confidence, respect, and, indeed, affection in those under them. If they got that, they could lead men anywhere and do anything. They should endeavour to govern their men more by commendation than by condemnation. Good comradeship was essential to discipline, happiness, and efficiency. They should always be loyal to each other and be like Nelson's "Band of Brothers," always courteous to those above them and those below them. Unity of the Church At a conference at Sheffield on Monday the Rev. J. H. Freeborough, the newly-elected president of the Wesleyan Reform Union, speaking on the hope for the future unity of the Christian Church, said he firmly believed the great agency for the unification of Christendom was the Roman Catholic Church. No other Church had the outlook, machinery, tradition, wealth, and ability to bring together all the forces of Christendog. It was a strange thing to say in a Protestant Union, but the secret lay there. The New Coinage The Mint authorities will not make any more coins for a month to come. When the machinery is set working again about the beginning of September the new King George coinage will be issued. Mr. Bertram Mackennal, A.R.A., who is the first over-seas Briton to undertake so important a duty, has been at work upon the new designs for nearly two months. Considerable changes may be expected when the new coins are issued. The five-shilling piece—the old, historic "crown" so typically English in its colloquial use—will in all probability be found to have followed the four-shilling piece, or double florin, into oblivion. Pageant at Farnham Castle A series of episodes illustrating events at Farnham Castle from the time of the building of the historic mansion nine centuries ago has been given in the grounds by permission of the Bishop of Winchester each day this week in aid of the local church house building fund, and has been witnessed by thousands from all parts of the Winchester diocese. Upwards of 200 persons took part in the pageant, which introduced Henry de Blois, brother of King Stephen, Cardinal Wolsey, Henry VIII. (impersonated by G. F. Rou- mieu, J.P., coroner for West Surrey), and Queen Elizabeth. Most of the episodes were written by the Rev. E. N. Lovett, rector of Farnham, who also acted as pageant master. The King at a Hospital The King and Queen, accompanied by Princess Mary, made a triumphal progress in beautiful weather through London on Saturday last on thc occasion of their visit to the London Hospital. It was the first drive of their Majesties through the city since their accession, and the long route from Marlborough House to Whitechapcl became an avenue of multitudes of cheering people. The King and Queen visited several wards at the hospital—the largest institution of its kind in the world—and brought happiness to a large number of patients with whom they conversed. His Majesty disclosed a piece of secret history. While in the hospital he related to the Hon. Sydney Holland, the chairman, that in order to investigate certain Statements concerning the treatment of out-patients he on one occasion, while Prince of Wales, visited the London Hospital in the guise of a medical student. He left the hospital satisfied that the statements were unfounded. In the Bark Diogenes returned from his search for an honest man. "Given up the chase?" they inquired. "It became a matter of necessity," replied the philosopher. "Someone stole my lantern." Vancouver Island Cold Storage and Ice Company VICTORIA, B.C. Goods received at all hours.
