No. 4 THE WEEK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1J907 The Editor's Review Of Current Topics. The local press is a unit in profile Lord's testing against the Lord's Day pay Act. Act whicli becomes law to every law-abiding citizen of Canada n March 1st. It can hardly be blamed if ne is to accept the dictum of Capt. Wolley, tat all journalism in Canada is materialistic, nd the only consideration which it recognizes I that of the dollar. The papers which are eclaiming against the stoppage of Sunday ewspapers are neither "candid nor sincere." hey claim that the ground of their objection 1, that the newspaper published on Monday jiorning involves more Sunday work than one ublished on Sunday morning. This is not rue as a matter of fact, nor is it an explana- lon of their resistance to the law. The real eason is that like the sooth-sayers of old, ie stoppage of a Sunday newspaper means a sduction in their gains. The attitude of the ress in this matter is just as sordid as the ttitude of every organization which has ought the Act and the work of the Alliance tep by step from its initiation to its consumption. In the last issue it has always been he question of the dollar. When driven into (corner the final argument of all commercial pponents has been "It will increase the cost f production." This argument has been put efore the people of Canada in the most pecious. form, and with unwavering persist- |nce for seven years. They answered it hrough their duly elected representatives at he last session of Parliament, by passing the peasure which represented the overwhelming (rinion of Canadians. A section of the Brit- h Columbia press desires to evade the opera- ons of the Act on the plea already stated, id on the further pretext that the people I. this Province are not at one with those of ie other Provinces in their attitude on this lestion. Sueh an assumption is purely gratu- ous. The Week has again and again pointed it that no demand whatever has come from ie public on this matter. The agitation has sen worked up entirely by a section of the lily press in the interests of larger profits. Iiere is every reason to believe that the peo- e of British Columbia are in accord with e whole of the Dominion in desiring to see measure enforced which, whatever its de- cts, is conceived in the highest spirit of nsideration and fairness. The opponents tthe measure forget when urging the Attor- y General of this Province to practically sallow the Act that they are asking him to 1 what would be both illegal and inequitable, lie clause which was introduced at the end _ a stormy session giving the Attorney Genial of each Province a certain power of veto, jas not designed, nor can it be used to ren- Ir nugatory the principle of the measure. [ was given as a protection against the abuse . its provisions and to prevent reckless or ndictive setting in motion of the Act by er-zealous or unscrupulous informers. Any her interpretation would be ultra vires of e intent of the measure, and all that the ttorney General of this or any other Provide could be expected to do is honourably safeguard the operations of the Act which s received the imprimatur of the Dominion irliament. Further, those who are urging e Attorney General of this Province to re- se his consent to any prosecutions made der the Act, lose sight of the fact that such Dine of conduct would be in direct violation the principle which has been established an appeal, first to the Supreme Court of |mada and subsequently to the Privy Coun- whereby it has been established that the gulation of Sunday observance is a Do- |nioii matter. It is obviously outside those subjects which have any local character such as would entitle separate Provinces to deal with them in a different manner. There is hardly a subject so obviously one of National importance and one which should be dealt with according to the National spirit. It is regrettable that in the attempt to bolster up an untenable position, the local press should have had recourse to misstatement of fact. If the present editor of the Colonist is not aware that the opponents of the measure were represented, and well represented at Ottawa during the debate, his predecessor, or any then member of the staff could have put him right. A very strong, organized opposition was waged, and every inch of the ground contested. That Dr. Rochester was not aware of this is due to the fact that he was not at that time an officer of the Alliance, but the General Secretary. Rev. J. G. Shearer, and the Associate Secretary, Rev. T. Albert Moore, who were in constant telegraphic communication with Victoria, know how strong that opposition was. It failed to convince, but does not know how to take a beating. The allegation that a Monday newspaper involves more Sunday work than a Sunday newspaper is not true. It may be so under the antiquated methods which prevail in the local press offices, but it is all a matter of organization and system. At least 75 per cent of a Monday morning paper in Victoria would be prepared and printed on Saturday night, indeed the only new matter which would be inserted for Monday morning would be the telegraphic service. It would be a great advantage to business men to have this by wire on Monday instead of having it dished up from the Seattle papers on Tuesday morning, when it is practically two days old. It would also be a p-re-r. relief not only to business men. but to /ho appreciate interesting matter to get the paper on Monday, which would necessitate the suppression of a page or two of psychological, physiological, theological and pseudo- philosophical twaddle for the news of the day. If the abolition of the Sunday newspaper does nothing more for Victoria than to force the daily press to print news and to eliminate sensational stories and fake despatches, it will deserve well of the residents of Vancouver Island. Meanwhile, there is little doubt that the Attorney General will take a more serious and statesmanlike view of his responsibilities than seems possible to those who control the local press. thing that is possible in i ivour of the pet project of a few Victoria! s. But his own arguments, if analysed irapa ftially, effectually dispose of the case which life would support. He declares that Quatsino lias an advantage over Esquimalt of ten houife in the voyage from China to Vancouver Isllnd. This alone, in view of the world-wide competition in the delivery of mails, passengers hnd freight, and the absolute certainty that asltime progresses the shortest route must be tha ultimate route, determines that Quatsino SounR will some day be the British Columbian port £f or the Orient. Much less than ten hours will tie a determining factor in such an important matter. The fact that Esquimalt Harbour is in itself a better one than Quatsino is of bo importance when it is known that the lattei is both safe and accessible. The possession oe a dry-dock and other advantages is not a lkctor in the case, because money will pr Quatsino as readily as it did a Furthermore, the advocates of Narrows bridge entirely forget an easier crossing twenty miles far which would give still better ace shorter route to Quatsino. This lin ment may be unpopular, but he friend of Victoria who refuses to facts in the face and who tries to lea opinion on a wild-goose chase. The f the Capital City does not depend upon taking Victoria a port for the Orient but up|n the intelligent and expeditious development tf the resources of Vancouver Island, and this Is the work in which the daily pi-ess should Issist to the exclusion of hair-brained schemes Hier je these at Esquimalt.

H. Stokes, depicting the future political career of Hon. Richard McBride. The suggestion embodied in the cartoon has attracted general interest and elicited numerous comments, nearly all of a favourable character. Mr. McBride is still a young man, several years on the sunny side of forty. The Week was the first to recognise the posisbility of his attaining to the highest position in the Dominion. During the four years of his first administration in spite of most disadvantageous circumstances he conducted the affairs of the Province in a manner which has greatly enhanced its prosperity, produced order out of chaos and created confidence in those circles which are most influential in promoting general prosperity. He did more, he revealed a remarkable capacity for controlling his party and reconciling conflicting interests. All this might have brought him only Porvincial kudos, but his attitude at the Ottawa Conference exposed him to observation in a wider and more important arena. Independent witnesses who attended the sittings of the Conference declared that his personality was more impressive than that of any other member, and that he produced a practical effect is demonstrated by the fact that he left Ottawa with the principle for which he contended fully conceded by Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Since then his administration has been signally and n- deed enthusiastically endorsed by the electorate, who realise that at the psychological moment there has arrived the man who can mould the future policy of the Province and shape its destiny. Already Premier McBride has taken the initial steps towards an attitude of firmness and resoluteness in his dealings with the G. T. P. The tide of monopoly and graft whicli has characterised the advance of this corporation through Central and Western Canada rolls against a rampart of rock, firm Several subscribers of Week have requested that tention be called to the fait that the pastor of the Emma uel Baptist Church is making what can onlt he characterised as an extraordinary appeal to the general public of Victoria to assist him! in paying off a mortgaged indebtedness oft as adamant, when it reaches the Province of $5,000, which he admits is nine months over- f British Columbia; and Premier McBride is the due. The Week has no desire to speak harshly | only Premier in Canada who as making a or uncharitably in such a matter, but for Island against the exorbitant demands of the unmitigated assurance it is doubtful if the |,boodlers" who "could not wait." His atti- cool proposal of the Baptist pastor has ever lude on this question and on the still broader been equalled. What Christians of other de- |nestion of Better Terms has already attract If The Week were bent on pur- Victoria as a suing an ignis fatiius it would Terminus. follow the lead of the Victoria press in advocating the bridging of Seymour Narrows, but such an attempt to curry favour with local subscribers is more in line with the policy of a daily newspaper than a weekly review. That such a project is practicable from an engineering standpoint may at once be conceded. That it is within the range of practical politics or that it will become an economic possibilty inside of fifty years is out of the question. Tliere are many things of greater importance both to Victoria and the Island, and if the newspapers in question have any influence it would be far better to exert it in the direction of helping on practical schemes which will inure to the benefit of the Island during the lifetime of the present generation. Some men possess a singular ineptitude for seizing on the wrong thing'. They lack all sense of proportion and a mirage always appears to them more substantial than a concrete fact. Mr. Edward Musgrave has written very intelligently on this subject and has probably urged everv- nominations can have to do with the private indebtedness of the Baptist community is not very clear to the lay mind, although it is only charitable to assume that it is understood of the clerical. It is, however, perfectly clear that the adherents of the church in question are cither unable or unwilling to meet the obligations which they have incurred in connection witli their church, and that their pastor is humiliating them and bringing tlio Chris- ttan Church as a whole into contempt by pursuing a cheap method of raising tlie wind, which is fairly equivalent to the "given away with a pound of tea" system. In order to impart some resemblance to fair dealing into the transaction the public are asked to purchase tickets for an entertainment which the pastor modestly declares "will be too rich a treat tn miss." The flinisiness of the pretext is apparent when he urges that the tickets be purchased "whether you can come or not." Shades of Thomas Binney, Charles H. Spurgeon, and other Baptist worthies, to what base uses is the conventicle put in these degenerate days by men whose most notable achievement is to plunge their church into debt and then ask people of other denominations, or of no denomination nt all, to help them out of the hole? Victoria has had one taste of the quality of these twentieth century shepherds in connection with the administration of the Orphanage. It looks as if they failed to learn their lesson at thnt time, but it is to be hoped that the attitude of the public towards tlie present appeal will be more convincing. ells till and will still further attract the attention the whole Dominion. When these two poli- have been carried to a successful issue as ly will, the Hon. Richard McBride will be llitmost notable, as he will have proved kim- sell to be the most capable man in the Con- serfctive ranks.

Not unnaturally she felt hurt about this treatment and vowed to employ all the severity of the law in the fresh air, and will thus obtain as much relief form the Act as will the bootblack and others above mentioned.

The man then had thc impudence to cable once more for thc same amount, but gave no reason. A fortnight later he received a postcard saying, "Resurrection not due. Dead men need no remittance."

It only needs a practical joker to stand in thc middle of the street and stare up at a roof-top to have a couple nf dozen other lunatics do thc same. This was forcibly brought home to me last Tuesday.

My remarks about public lavatories last week has elicited many replies addressed to The Week office, all of which strongly urge the erection of such conveniences, especially for ladies, as thc existing order of things ii; well nigh intolerable. These replies go to prove that in mentioning the subject I touched on a point of very real public importance.

Complete Home, Hotel and Club Furnishers, Victoria ofr if if A Lady's Letter * if * if By BABETTE. Y if if if ifififif&ififififififif Dear Madge: Great changes will come with the spring as far as the fashioning of our frocks go, so say the smart French dressmaker and the clever London modiste. The point in the gown which undoubtedly tells its age more particularly than any other is the shape of the sleeves, and it is in this respect that our frocks wil! undergo a great change. For one thing they will be infinitely simpler: the multitudes of small frills are vanishing entirely, and though they will still be full, it will be a discrct fulness of well-arranged folds of pleats and much straighter. Great elaboration of beadwork will still bc used on the cuffs and embroideries on the sleeve itself, but the fuss- iness of outline is quite condemned. In extreme contrast to the simpler sleeve is a revival that is having an immense success for smart frocks and coats. This is the kimono sleeve, cut in one with the rest of the garment it belongs to — a kimono sleeve, it must be owned, that is elaborated and draped and curtailed out of almost all recognition except that it is always ! wide open at the base and seamless ; as to the shoulder, like the sleeve of [its origin. These sleeves are unfailingly charming, and it is small won- ! der that they are having such a vogue. They are particularly graceful in the I elaborate loose little coats which are ' being worn with the high-waisted .skirts. Then, again, a chance which [will in many ways be most welcomed -particularly as to our glove bill— I will hc that the sleeves of coats and day gowns will bc of their normal [ length again; in many cases indeed they will be remarkably long and t closely fitting over the wrist. For thc 1 evening thc diminutive fluffy sleeve still retains its hold upon us and is often the merest suggestion of lace and chiffon, but there is a stronger tendency than ever towards individuality, and in the evening it is unlikely that one will often see two frocks with sleeves alike. Our own ideas and our particular fancies among the fashions of the past find expression in our sleeves, and evening gowns often owe their success to the beautiful and uncommon designs that are shown in this important part of their making. So consistently, indeed, are thc changes rung upon lace and velvet for our evening attire that one is grateful for the occasional relief of plain satin or glittering sequin. Crepe de chine properly handled furnishes an ideal princess robe, a striking example being a gown of this exquisite fabric in white skilfully draped about the waist and trimmed with black and white "motifs" of silk embroidery. The latter form a deep encrusted bordering to the long-trained skirt and outline the "decolletage," and sleeves strictly in keeping with thc charming toilette was a very deep jet dog collar, the only ornament. The drawing-room, or "withdrawing room" as it was originally called, of all the rooms in the house has perhaps naturally the largest share of a woman's regard and consideration. Its social importance, so to speak, gives il precedence of all the other rooms, and it may generally be regarded as a sort of index to the status and character of its owners. In all that pertains to this room its mistress feels that she must "put her best foot foremost," for here she has to receive her friends, and perhaps—her enemies. It represents "herself" as she wishes to be represented to the eyes of the world. It is the pride of her heart and the apple of her eye. She lavishes upon it all that is artistic and aesthetic within her. Resides the usuul equipments which conventionality demands— the lixed decorations, the movable furniture, thc draperies, pictures and other ornamental access ories—there must be that "personal note" which is really the indication of the individuality of the "chatelaine." This can only be expressed in those little delicate touches which are quite otttsied the decorator's domain and are full of subtle suggestion as to taste and character of the inhabitant of thc room. People of discernment who know the world can tell after thc first glance round a room what manner of woman its mistress is. The decoration and furnishing of the drawing-room may be elegantly simple or richly ornate, according to the taste and station of its owner, but comfort, simplicity, and repose arc thc things most to be desired and aimed at. And the greatest of these is comfort, which when applied to drawing- rooms means not only physical comfort of the animal but the aesthetic comfort of the artist. These qualities, especially thc last, arc desirable in every room in the home, but they are essential in the one whose very name suggests after-dinner case and the pleasant social intercourse for which the apartment has been intended from time immemorial.

A new edition, published in this country by thc Macmillan Company, of W. T. Arnold's standard work on "The Roman System of Provincial Administration," appears in circumstances which give it an exceptional personal interest. Arnold, who was a grandson of thc famous Rugby Headmaster, died in 1904. Although a busy newspaper editor and reviewer, his one important literary work was his treatise on Roman Provincial Administration, which was first published a number of years ago, and has remained the standard English book on its subject. At the time of his death Arnold was engaged in preparing a revised edition, and thc work was taken up by E. S. Shuckburgh, thc famous Oxford scholar, and a close personal friend, Dr. Shuckburgh had Prof. Goldwin Smith was an inveterate theatre-goer in his younger days and hc remembers well some of thc famous players of thc last century. For that reason, apart from his unerring style as a writer, his article, "Thc Stage of Former Days," which appears in thc Canadian Magazine for February, is of unusual interest. It is a pleasure to read Dr. Smith's comment in what may be called "a lighter vein." Hc takes thc stand that the stage might be a powerful organ of culture, and he concludes that if Mr. Carnegie had endowed theatres instead of libraries (which, hc observes, arc increasing fast enough of themselves) thc money might have been better placed. As Dr. Smith always expresses a definite opinion, there is plenty of chance '11 ihis instance to differ from his views. The article is accompanied by nine reproductions from old engravings nf famous players of a half-century ago, together witli a full-page illustration of Sadelr's Wells Theatre, which was a famous place nf entertainment in old London. The number contains also eight other illustrated articles, and three without illustrations, besides live shotr stories. There, is as well the usual amount of comment, verse and light material. There arc thousands in Europe who would bc only too glad to get employment at decent wages. I am certain that thc railways don't try in an earnest and business-like manner to get men. Why don't they open free employment offices both in Europe and in America. I should not bc afraid to take a contract to get 5,000 or 6,000 in a month. From observation I havc formed thc opinion that cheap Chinese labour is more fancied than real. I think in heavy manual labour that a dollar gives as good results spent in white labour as in yellow albour. Public companies ought to realise that imported white labour is likely to permanently benefit them more than Chinese, by the extra spending habits of thu white population, apart from patriotic reasons. Working men, trades unions, and everyone who wishes thc tax to remain, ought to hold public meetings, pass resolutions and try every menus in let thc Government see that the public do not want the tax taken off. 1 believe a large majority are in fa- votir 1 d the present law. 1 am, sir, yours, etc..

I know that if thc right means nre used, white labour can easily be procured for any amount of development. "Did you say that John D. Rockefeller's income is $2 every time the clock ticks?"

THE WEEK SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1907. The Week A Provincial Review and Magazine, published every Saturday by "THE WEEK" PUBLISHING COMPANY, LIMITED. Office!: 88ik Government Street. .Victoria, B.C. Rm. 14, McKinnon Blk. .Vancouver, B.C. W. BLAKEMORE..Manager and Editor Writing to Order. Capt. Glive Phillips-Wolley has written a very interesting article on thc subject of Canadian literature in which he has covered a lot of ground and touched upon most of the salient features of the literateur's life in the Western world. His main conclusion is that in Canada and the United States there are few writers who do not write to order, and who under the compulsion of stern necessity are not bound to consider the requirements of those who hire them rather than their own personal inclination. In other words, the bane of everything Western has permeated literature, and rendered it materialistic. Under these conditions it is out of the question to expect the writers of the New World to approach the standard set by the Old, everything is tinged with the shadow of commercialism, our best writers are employed by firms which manufacture soap or pills or furniture, even so-called poets are impressed into the service of Mammon, and whilst European countries are continually producing new authors of promise and brilliancy, the Western world at its best is only able to supply a large number of indifferent contributors to magazines and a few literary aspirants whose style is invariably journalese. In the realm of poetry, philosophy and fiction, which afford the widest scope for the display of originality and imagination, this Continent has not produced more distinguished authors than can be counted upon the fingers of one hand. When Longfellow, Emerson, Hawthorne, Bryant and Poe have been mentioned, who remains that could for a moment be classed with the immortals? The American writers of today are as far below the five mentioned as they themselves are below the standard of the great European authors, and when one comes to Canada thc mention of our noblest names registers a still lower standard. I suppose it will be conceded that the only names to conjure with are Parker, Roberts, Wilfred Campbell and Bliss Carman, and the last named can hardly be taken seriously because of his habitual flippancy. If Campbell had lived he might have written Can- ada?s first lyric. Parker is at times entertaining with flashes of brilliance, and long intervals of dulness. Roberts has produced several works which have a distinction and a style of their own, but none of these have approached thc standard set by thc best American authors, and must be considered inferior even to their leading contemporaries soutli of thc line. I do not know whether Capt. Wolley, who is himself a literatcur of no mean order, and an excellent judge, would agree with these appraisements, but at any rate hc attributes the poverty of literary productions to the comparative poverty of the producers, or at any rate to the materialistic ihfluence of thc almighty dollar. He may be right, hut that is not the last word that can bc said on the subject. I incline to regard it as only one reason not the reason. Much goes to the make-up of a literary genius, especially in the realm of imagination. Temperament is thc first essential, but inspiration is hardly second to it in importance and influence. Inspiration springs partly from intuition, partly from environment and very largely from tradition. What arc the traditions of thc Western world which would stimulate the poetic fancy? Where is the environment whicli would constitute a fitting cradle for the darling of the Rods? Where are thc subtle and mystic influences which appeal to a lofty mind, and which stimulate thc poet to sing his song and the philosopher to pen his prose epic or elegy. Hawthorne more than any American author gave promise of a future for the literature of the New World, he struck a truer note and plumbed a profounder depth than any of his successors, but he lived in a nobler epoch than any which has succeeded him. The first glamour of the great West rested on the land, the elemental forces of human nature were struggling for the mastery under conditions which had never before characterised colonisation. A concentrated and Titanic struggle has given way to a feverish rout, the wings of imagination have drooped, the clutch of the materialistic has seized the pen of the writer and mortgaged the brain of the thinker. Canada is rapidly following suit, if magnificent scenery, gigantic mountain ranges clad with verdure and capped with snow, primeval forests of unsurpassed magnitude, mighty rivers, placid lakes overhung by blue skies and suffused with golden light, could stimulate the imagination or quicken the pulse, then indeed Canada must long ago have produced a poet whose songs would have been heard to the ends of the earth. But no! Our poets, save the mark, are doing hack work for immigration and settlement syndicates, and the acme of their achievement is to idealise the miles of wheat worth 8oc a bushel, or the sections of lumber worth so much per acre. Cannot Capt. Wolley look a little deeper? Is there not something beneath the surface? It is true that in every golden age of literature men have written for pay, but it is also true that in every age there have been a few who have not defiled their garments, and today they are walking in the white light of radiant immortality because they are worthy. The Old World has yielded men who counted not their life dear if they might but deliver their message, but sing their song. It may have been only a fragment, still it earned them a niche in that great temple which is the goal of every man upon whom is laid the burden of deliverance. The noblest literary work has ever been the unpaid or the ill-paid. The sweetest song has ever been written in adversity, and it has not been reserved for the twentieth century to demonstrate that the advent of financial prosperity has dulled the point of the pen. This is by no means to be taken as an advocacy of starvation or even poverty, but as a protest against applying to a judgment of literature the canons of criticism which may be justly applicable in another domain. The ultra commercial spirit of the Western World will work a reaction, the first indication of this is in the cry already being raised for a simpler life. With an appreciation of the charm of simplicity will come an inspiration which this Continent has yet lacked towards the expression of loftier ideas conveyed in the most exquisite form. Then will dawn a newer and a nobler epoch for the song singers of the world. One of them has seen it coming, it may yet be distant, but like a mirage the picture has appeared to his prophetic eye as he tells us of a time when Only the Master shall praise us, and only the Master shall blame, And no one shall work for money, and no one shall work for fame, But each for the joy of the working. *4» if * Social and * * Personal.

The members of the Ladies' Musical Club, under whose auspices the Frieda Stender, Otie Chew and Thilo Becker concert is to be given at the to metropolitan critics for catchiness and sweetness is not excelled in musical comedy. The songs that have become particularly popular are "You Look Awfully Good to Father," "Drums of the Fore and Aft," "Let's Take a Trolley," "Clorinda Jackson," "Cross Your Heart" and "How'dYou Like to Be the Umpire." One of the features of "The Umpire" is a football game in the second act played by twenty-two girls dressed in full football togs, that BARGAINS -IN- Victoria Theatre on the evening of arouses a riot of enthusiasm in every the 25th, are much encouraged by the success which thus early in the day has attended their circulation of subscription lists. At the same time the disposition of Victorians to support good art consistently is shown in the fact that almost every subscription is for both this concert and the sub- audience that sees it. The game is played with as much vim and vigor as displayed in a real championship game, and occasionally the players become so much in earnest that time must be called to allow the half-backs to nurse their injuries. The company is the same as seen at the Grand Opera House, Chicago, headed by Fred Mace as the Umpire, who will be pleasantly remembered for his funny sandman in "Piff, Paff, Pouf," seen here last season. Mr. Mace is assisted by Edith Yerring- ton, Guelma Baker, Harry Hanlon, Bradlee Martin, Katherine Burn, Geo. Damerel, Helena Salinger, Bert Young, Jessie Huston and others. There is alos the famous little dancing girls, the "broilers," as a feature of the chorus of sixty pretty girls. Frieda Stender. Buster Brown. All the boys and girls, both young and old, will be pleased to learn that the attraction at the Victoria Theatre on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and Wednesday matinee next week will be the ever welcome "Buster Brown." Of course that prankful youngster will bring with him his faithful dog Tige. Between them sequent one in April, under the same their antics are certain to amuse all management and the auspices of the who greet them.

The Stender-Becker-Chew tour opens at the Vancouver Opera House on th . evening of Friday next, the concert at the Terminal City being under thc auspices of the Vancouver Choral Society; aud the company comes next to Victoria on the subsequent Mou • day. It is unquestionably one of the strongest concert groupings offered on the Coast in years, and fully deserving of generous patronage for its sterling quality. The Umpire. The announcement of the coming of Chicago's musical comedy wonder, "The Umpire," which will be seen at the Victoria Theatre Thursday, Feb. 28, should create pleasurable anticipation among local theatre-goers. It will especially appeal to lovers of bright, clean and high-class enter- Thilo Becker.

This clever comedy and melange is conceded to bc one of the brightest and most laughable entertainments yet produced and it will be presented here this season with the added advantage of entirely new scenic dress, costumes, and electrical effects as well as new book, music, dramas and specialties. An immense cast is engaged in its presentation. Among the most prominent members are Master Helton, "the littlest comedian"; Mamie Goodrich, Alf, A. Grady, Little Mat- tie Lockettc, Sue Belle Meade, Edgar Bixley, Lizzie McCall, Mae Hilton, Fred Nolan, Alf. Hilton, and others, including a beauty chorus of forty.

THE EVOLUTION OF SATAN. By Arthur Davies. . It is strange that, in this so-called enlightened and well-educated twentieth century, the people in a mass will accept many teachings as fact, without taking the slightest trouble to inquire, either into their authenticity, or the process by which they have become a part and parcel of our beliefs. Take, for instance, the subject matter of this article. Whilst it is true that many thinking men and women and leading divines have relegated the subject of Satan, or the Evil One, to the kingdom of myths, fully 80 per cent of the people seem to have neither the time nor the inclination to think out the matter for themselves, with the result that their lives are still biassed by an error which should never have been allowed to exist to this date. Hence my desire to throw a little light on the evolution of Satan. For every belief, whether it be fact or myth, there is a reason. The reason for the creation of a Satan, or Evil One, is very simple and easy to discover. Right down from the known history of mankind to the present day it has been part and parcel of human nature to desire and create a scapegoat; to be able to say, when discovered in any selfish act, "It was not I," "I could not help myself," "Somebody else did it," or "I was led into it"; anything, in fact, but acknowledge that the deed was perpetrated by himself or herself. Let us take the best known of the records of the human race—I mean the Bible. In the word-picture of the fall of man, which is practically the first record of human action, Adam is discovered eating the forbidden fruit, i e., giving way to selfishness. When confronted with his deed, what is his defense? Simply, "It was not I; it was the woman who tempted me." He at once made the woman a scapegoat. Now let us take Eve; her case is equally clear; it was the serpent wdio was thc scapegoat. Right down the ages in almost every case where a defense is recorded, the defense consists of throwing either the whole or a part of the guilt on some other party, or scapegoat. This human feeling was so well recognised by the Mosaic law that a scapegoat was actually provided as part and parcel of their religious ceremonies. (See Leviticus, Chap, xvi., verses 8 to 28.) But why labor this point as far as the ancients were concerned when, every day, right in our midst, there are thousands of examples. Go into any court of law; read any criminal action; or let us look into our own lives; what is the first defense or excuse which naturally flies to our lips? Simply some statement to prove that somebody else or something else, i. e., a scapegoat, is the real cause of the offense. This habit of providing a scapegoat is so engrained in our nature that anybody who has studied child life can vouch for the fact that, without any tuition, almost every child is naturally ready to invent a scapegoat for its infant misdeeds. Side by side with this weakness in our nature there is a common-sense instinct that our defense is surer of success if the scapegoat cannot be brought into court and cross-examined. Adam found this out to his cost—Eve was easily cross-examined. Hence it arises, that the handiest scapegoat to use is one which cannot be made a witness. I do not for a moment suggest that mankind deliberately set to work to argue out this process—it naturally follows— once hc had Riven way to thc weakness of selfishness, the scapegoat is inevitable and common sense readily taught him thc advantage of one that was not get-at-able; hence the invention of the devil, or, as he is known under his drawing-room cognomen, Satan. What a grand, brave, and noble invention, and yet it has served, and few men or women have paused to reason out its absurdity. There may be some who fall into thc error of imagining that Satan was an inven tion of the Hebrew race acquired by Christianity during the Evolutionary period. That is not so—search any Pagan record and you will find they, also, had patented this invention, only in their case—as they had a multiplicity of gods—it was also necessary to have a multiplicity of devils, or, as they were known in those days, evil gods. Thc Pagan had the same natural weakness as the Christian has today; it was necessary to have a scapegoat to blame for wrong-doing on his part. As the Pagans received Christianity it was natural for them to coalesce the Christian Satan with their evil deities. As a matter of fact, it is quite easy to trace the line- TRAVELLERS' GUIDE VICTORIA age of the present-day Satan back to his Pagan ancestry. This view is also evidenced in the pictorial illustrations of his Satanic majesty; the tail, ears, and cloven hoof being nothing more nor less than a Pagan picture, emblematical of one of the grossest and vilest forms of human selfishness, now practically extinct.. No thinking man or woman who takes the trouble to look this subject squarely in the face, to ascertain for himself or herself the. true reason for the existence of this myth, can fail to discover that, although it has doubtless served a beneficial purpose in the centuries during which man's environment was of a restricted character, in these days that purpose would seem to be ended; and the time has come when men and women should realise that an action, once committed, cannot be erased, and the old excuse that "I was tempted of Satan" is merely childish evasion. What is vaguely termed sin is simply selfishness; it belongs to the ego, and the sooner we Christians recognise this fact, so much the sooner will this world become a cleaner and a better place to live in.

I looked as If I were lost In thought, And then replied: "Let's see: Black's sold last year at fifty the foot; So, without any algebra, that should put My figures at sixty now, I guess, Or a trifle more, or a trifle less." I was anxious to sell at fifty straight Or I might have dropped down to forty- eight. Oh, yes, I'm a bit of a bluff, It's true; What sort of a bluff are you? "And what do you know about railroad rates?" ■ The man with a bald brow said. "For you have traveled through all the States And have heard a good deal and read." "The railroad lines," I wisely replied, "Are the lines with which our trade is tied, And the wretches who take these rebates set New knots in the bonds under which we fret." But now, I remember, I once rode free And forgot tliat the road rebated me. Oh, yes, I'm a bit of a bluff, it's true; How much of a bluff are you? "So you went to hear Siegfried and found it fine?" Said a classical friend one day. "I'm sure your impressions accord with mine, But tell me your own terse way." And "Oh, the tone-color beats belief," And oh, "dynamics," and oh, "motif!" And "chiar-oscuro, how finely abstruse!" And la-la-la-la, and oh, well, what's the use? For all tliat I understood in the play Was that dippy, old dragon of papier- mache. Oh. yes, I'm a bit of a bluff, It's true; What sort of a bluff are you? "Should the senior Senator be returned?" Said a newspaper man to me. "He's as rotten a rascal as ever burned." I cried. "May I quote?" asked he. "Oh, no." I replied; "if you're going to quote, Just remark that his friends regret to note That tlie exigencies of the party case Indicate that he shouldn't re-enter the race." For the Senator sometime may possibly be Interviewed by a newspaper man about me! Oil, none of these cases may quite fit you, But what sort of a bluff ARE you? EDMUND VANCE COOKE.

That money is plentiful for investment and speculation in Vancouver is pretty well apparent judging from the numerous company flotations, land, mineral and townsite propositions being offered the public through the medium of the daily press. Among the "industrial" list is the Vancouver- Prince Rupert Meat Company that is being promoted by Patrick Donnelly, to acquire the business now carried on by P. J. Russell & Co. at Vancouver and New Westminster and to engage in the meat business in all its branches, both wholesale and retail, and to contract for the supplying of meat to constructing railroads. The company is incorporated for $100,000 in 1,000 shares of $100 each. Mr. Donnelly, who was the promoter of the Securities Corporation of British Columbia, is meeting with success, the shares being largely taken by local business men and stockmen. The North American Timber and Development Co., Ltd., as a going concern, owning 24,500 acres of timber lands, estimated to contain about 750,000,000 feet, and two operating logging camps, a sawmill, etc., is offering its shares at $100. The National Finance Co. is securing capital through private channels, principally from shareholders in the B. C. Permanent Loan and Savings Co. It has already opened for business on Hastings street . Two brokerage firms are handling Okanagan fruit plots. The Bulkley Syndicate reports a splendid sale of lots in tl.ieir town- site, the feature of the week being the disposal of a large number in Victoria by Norman Norcross, the energetic manager. A Chicago firm is soliciting subscriptions for stock in a Cobalt mine and a new firm has located in Vancouver to promote the sale of shares in an oil and gas company operating in the Edmonton district. Judging from reports, all seem to be getting a share of the public's money. Local realty too is moving all the time and the 200 odd real estate offices lose no opportunity to "boost" the game aolng. In one day the firm of Cavanagh & Holden put through three deals aggregating a turn-over of $89,000, and the purchasers were in all cases local men. Corbet & Donald placed a block of lots in Kitsalano on the market Monday morning and the entire block was disposed before the noon hour. These are simply samples showing the activity in the local realty movement, and to them must be added sales of farm lands, timber limits and commercial undertakings that are being made daily. Stock Breeders' Fair. Interest is already being manifested in the annual spring fair of horses, cattle, sheep, etc., to be held in New Westminster on March 20, 21 and 22 under the auspices of the British Columbia Stock Breeders' Association. The principal object of the fair is to encourage the farmers and stock breeders in the better conditioning of fat stock for the market, the improvement in the strains and the giving of lectures by experts on the best type of animals for this purpose. Notes and Gossip. W. T. Watson, proprietor of the Vancouver Model, Machine and Cycle Works, has just finished a working model of a new style of Ferris wheel which he has invented. He leaves shortly for Seattle, where he will interest capital with a view to having the same put on the market as one of the big amusement features of the Alaska-Pacific-Seattle Exposition. Through the agency of Rowland Brittain, patent attorney of this city, Dr. F. W. Morris of Victoria has been granted a Canadian patent on an improved process for the manufacture of carbonate of lead from metallic lead. The process is expected to revolutionize the white lead manufacturing industry.

Permanent; The ninth annuai meeting of thc shareholders was held at the Head Office of the Company, 321 Cambie Street, Vancouver, B.C., on Wednesday, the 27th day of February, 1907, at 3 o'clock p.m. The President, Mr. Thos. T. Langlois, occupied the chair, and the Secretary, Mr. R. H. Duke, acted as secretary of the meeting. The following shareholders were present: N. Shakespeare, W. H. Bone, J. B. McCallum and Jas. Willott, of Victoria; R. Rees, H. A. Eastman and E. Goulet, of New Westminster; A. E. Bull, W. H. Malkin, Geo. Martin, |A. E. Hetherington, Thos. T. Lang- flois, Geo. J. Telfer, B. H. Duke, A. [B. Snider, R. K. Chapman, S. B. [Snider, J. B. Mathers, H. J. Kontt land others of Vancouver. The Treasurer read the report of lthe Directors and the financial state- |ment for the year 1906. The President then said: Before moving the adoption of the Ireport as read, I wish to say that it lis a pleasure to attend this ninth an- [nual meeting under such favorable cir- jcumstances. The year has been a [notable one in two important particulars: 1st—the increase of Reserve Fund Ifrom $50,000 to $150,000, brings the Ireserve up to 50 per cent, of the per- Imanent paid-up capital, and places our •company in the Old Line Loan Com- |pany class. 2nd—the increase of permanent paid-up capital to $300,000, which, together with reserve and surplus funds, nake a total of almost one-half million dollars of permanent non-withdrawable money, giving our company proportion of permanent assets to deposits, debentures and terminating ■Hocks combined, just about equal to Ihat of any of the oldest and largest [oan companies of Canada. Another important event in the his- [ory of the Company took place during the year, viz., the actual maturing of several series of instalment Ihares, the maturity period having been reached in every case within the time originally estimated. A large percentage of shareholders, whose stock matured, have taken permanent stock in preference to cash. The recent provincial elections which have resulted in the return of the Premier, the Hon. Richard McBride, together with a strong majority in the House, will, I believe, go a long way towards securing and holding the confidence of capitalists in other countries, who have learned something of the immense undeveloped natural resources of this Province, but have heretofore hesitated to invest their capital because of the unsettled political conditions which prevailed. All signs of the time point to a continuance of the present unprecedented era of prosperity, at least, in so far as this rich Province is concerned. The neighboring provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba still continue to grow in a remarkable manner and at the present rate of progress will soon contain several large cities and will have a volume of business which will be a surprise to the rest of the world. The city of Vancouver still continues to grow at a remarkable rate; the population is estimated at being about seven thousand in excess of a year ago. The building permits for the year amount to $ against $2,617,000, for the previous year. Arrangements have been made for the addition of several new steamers to the shipping trade of this port, including a new line to Mexico which is to start almost immediately. The lumber interests are enjoying wonderful prosperity. The demand for British Columbia lumber and shingles is enormous, and although a considerable number of big mills have been erected the saw-mills of the Province seem unable to keep up to the demand. Thc city of Victoria is now attracting a great deal of attention, both as a tourits centre and as an ideal city in which to live.

THE WEEK, SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 1907. As may be inferred, the scenes are -ru laid in Ceylon, where Harry Vereker, J a young tea planter, falls in love with ^ a Cingalese maiden named Nanoya. '***' At the age of four this young woman Syf was affianced by her father to Boo- hamba, a noble of Kundy, who is disclosed in the. first act as searching for his bride-elect. This is the first basis of the libretto, sistance of Mr. C. H. Gibbons, gave but there is another, for this copper- % flusic and I The Drama. On Monday night the Victoria Ladies' Musical Society, with the as- their advertised concert in the Victoria Theatre. The concert company consisted of two artists and a handicap, the artists were Otie Chew and Thilo Becker, the handicap was Frieda Stender. The most hyper- luted native is on a still hunt for a wondrous black pearl stolen from an idol, and taken to the old country. Chambhuddy Ram or Breeze, an unscrupulous lawyer, locates the pearl in England, but in a weak moment gives it to Lady Patricia Vane, and critical person could not find fault wh(m he ertnrnj tQ Ceylon without with the work of thc two former, the least critical person could hardly appreciate thc latter, ft is difficult to state any grounds upon which the inclusion of Frieda Slender could be justified in a concert company with any pretensions to the artistic. Whatever an artist is, she is not, and no greater contrast could bc conceived than that presented by her soulless and unsympathetic rendition of classical songs, and the intensely artistic and finished performance of the violinist and the pianist. Otic Chew is a marvel as a violinist, measured by any recognised standard. Her tone is full and sound, her execution is facile and brilliant, and she has temperament. Of Thilo Becker it would bc difficult lo speak too highly. He may never become what is known as a popular pianist, but for grace, elegance, profound intelligence, and sympathetic expression, hc challenges comparison with the truly great performers, lie is nnt a virtuoso, and indeed is the very antipodes of supli world-renowned pianists as Ruben- stein and Paderewski, but he is distinguished by a remarkable temperament which is even more mystic than musical, if such a criticism may bc made without depreciating his value as an artist. At his best he recalls memories of Charles Halle, and with ripened experience will probably develop along thc same lines and attain, at any rale a measure, of the same popularity. It was an outrage on the musical susceptibilities of Victorians to associate with two such incomparable artists a singer of the style and class of Frieda Stender. If one could forget all thc other qualifications necessary in an acceptable singer, it must at least be admitted that temperament and sympathy are essential. Frieda Stender is absolutely devoid of both. A scientific genius like Edison could readily produce a mechanical toy which would furnish an exact counterpart of this vocalist. Compared with thc playing of Otie Chew and Thilo Becker her singing was as the production of a pianola compared with the manipulation of a piano oy a master of the art. I have no desire to discourage the admirable intentions of the Victoria Ladies' Musical Society, nor thc legitimate aspirations of C. H. Gibbons as impressario, but in thc interests of art and of a long-suffering public, I am bound to protect against the inclusion of such singers as Frieda Stender in any programme which seeks the support of musical people. There arc at least half a dozen more satisfactory singers in Victoria. T would rather hear Mrs. R. H. Pooley, Mrs. Robin Dunsmuir, Mrs. llcrschmer, or Miss Lugrin at any time. They may not possess the lung power of the lady in question, nor could they compete with her in rendering patriotic songs, but in everything which is dainty, musical and artistic, they would at least be more acceptable to persons who arc blessed—or cursed—'with an car. I thc precious jewel, he is told that he must produce both the pearl and Nanoya within twenty-four hours or lose his head. fn comic opera fashion he discovers the girl, and by similar means the lawyer finds that she is wearing the very black pearl he is seeking for. The High Commissioner decides that Boohamba Ram is entitled to his bride, a decision that it is the province of the second act to set aside, for 'she is eventually given to her lover, Vereker. lt may be said here that Genevieve Finlay played and sang "Nanoya" when "The Cingalee" received its first production in this country at Daly's Theatre, New York; Hallyn Mostyn alos appeared as "Boohamba"; and Melville Stewart likewise had a prominent part, William Norris enacting the comedy role of the lawyer, now allotted to same Collins. Maybe it was owing to thc enervating nature of the Ceylon climate or the blizzard that was raging outside that caused the slow exits and entrances last night 'at the Walker Theatre, there being an apparent lassitude in the general business throughout the entire evening, requiring all thc energies of the cnergtic comedian, Mr. Collins, the topical songs of Mr. Mostyn, thc eccentric fun of Harold Vizard, and the dash and vim of Elgie Bowen, as well as her singing to awaken the audience to that pitch of hilarious delight which found os frequent expression in "A Country Girl" in thc earlier part of the week, "The Cingalee" is in part spectacular, the scenery, stage settings and costumes being truly Oriental. Some elegant dancing was also exhibited, with a couple of musicianly written choral ensembles closing each of the two acts that won instant appreciation. Chief among thc vocal successes was the singing of Genevieve Finlay as the Ceylon maid "Nanoya," the song "Sloe Eyes'' being beautifully sung, and also llic ducts with Mr. Stewart, who enacted "Vereker" the tea planter. Comic ducts were heard from Miss Bowen, and Mr. Collins, who respectively played "Peggy" and "Breeze thc lawyer." Mr. Collins also whispered "The Crocodile," and displayed his agility as an acrobat in another comic interlude, much to the satisfaction of the folks in the galleries. But thc humorous song success of thc performance was "Boohamba's" topical hit, "There Isn't Much More to Say," enhanced as it was by a telling bass voice, thc audience would hardly allow him to leave thc stage. Notwithstanding a few shortcomings "The Cingalee" caught the crowd and makes a capital foil to the superior and more refined singing and humor of thc strictly English, and thoroughly charming "Country Girl." —Winnipeg Tribune. gusting feature in this week's programme; that is the turn contributed by Polly & Ethel Hazel. A drunken woman is not amusing at any time, and her appearance on the stage as a character is in the worst possible taste. Kelly & Reno, who style themselves "comedy acrobats," are merely harmless; their turn is what might be called "fair to middling." There are only two things worth seeing in the New Grand this week; one is the moving pictures, and the other the dancing act given by Collins & Haw- ley. These latter are certainly good, and I commiserate with them for being forced to travel in the company of such a gang of barn-stormers as the rest of the company undoubtedly is. MOMUS.

Bennett, the Liberal candidate for Comox, at the recent election on the loss of his wife. In the stress of a political campaign things are said on both sides which would best be left unsaid. It is well that they should be forgotten as soon as the campaign is over. The Week hopes that the fact that it antagonized Mr. Bennett strongly on political grounds will not render its expression of sympathy unacceptable. The Pioneers' Annual. Though late in arriving on the exchange table of The Week the Phoenix Pioneer's fourth annual number is nevertheless welcome. Editor Wil- sox has done himself proud in the turning out of a 64-page publication replete with information and statistics of the wonderful "Boundless Boundary." The book is a credit to the publisher; it contains many fine engravings and a colored may of the Phoenix camp. Have Opened Again. Messrs. Haywood Brothers, well known as former proprietors of the Commercial Hotel, in the "Terminal City," have opened up a brokerage office at 452 Seymour street, under the name of Haywood, Bros. & Co., and intend to deal in realty, mining and timber claims. The Messrs. Haywood's wide acquaintanceship throughout British Columbia should be of material assistance in forming a splendid connection in their new sphere. An Expert's View. It is rather interesting in view of the upward movement in Granby to give the views of George Walker, the copper expert, whose letter was responsible for the last rise: "Gran by makes its copper at a cost of about &A cents per lb. Its production last year is understood to have been about 20,000,000 pounds of copper. A large increase in its output was prevented by the work of remodelling its furnaces. Its smeltign capacity was increased 40 per cent, to 50 per cent. Granby's ores yield only about 24 pounds of copper and $1.40 in gold and silver, but gross operating costs are slightly less than $3 per ton of ore treated. It is probable that Granby will eventually increase its smelting capacity to 7,500 tons of ore daily. Such a production would give it net earnings of $33 per share on a 15-cent copper market, and make its stock an investment at $300 per share." Public Lectures. A series of public lectures is announced for delivery in Columbian College at New Westminster during the months of March and April. The series will be opened by Principal Sipprell, who will lecture on The Theory of Sight Sensations, and Our Ideas of Space. Perhaps no better subject could be chosen for the presentation of the aims and methods of psychological study to a popular audience. The principal's gifts of exposi- Creatures of Impulse. The Kamloops Musical Society presented W. S. Gilbert's pretty extravaganza at the K. M. & A. A. Hall on Tuesday evening to a large and appreciative audience.

B. C. TALK1NQ MACHINE HEADQUARTERS 93 Government St. VICTORIA conductor, and Bradshaw Brown, the stage manager of the society, in particular. The chorus work was effective throughout and gave evidence of careful training by the conductor and skilful drilling at the hands of the stage manager. The principals too had given much attention to their parts, which were, as were also the interpolated musical numbers, very well rendered. Mrs. Albrighton as the landlady of the Three Pigeons filled acceptably the part of the witch perturbed hostess Mi.ss Pearse, as the stately dame of 842 summers, who was responsible for the erratic impulses of the victims of her punishments made to fit the crime, belied her astonishing number of years but made up in the dignity what she lacked in the appearance of age. Miss Lily Pearse as the sprightly Pipette acted with a nerve and abandon which is rare in an amateur. Mr. Fisher as Sergeant Klooque was the swashbuckilng hussar from the tip of his shako to the toe of his jack-boots. It would have been difficult to recognise Mr. Tyrer as the miserly Boomblehardt so thoroughly did he enter into the spirit of his part. Mr. Appelbe as Peter rather overdid his part but was undoubtedly responsible for the fun of the performance. Mr. Waikden as Lord of the Manor was not up to his usual form and voice but in spite of that he filled the part acceptably. Bradshaw Brown as Jan, a villager, showed his familiarity with stake business. Amongst the interpolated musical numbers, though all were good, special mention must be made of the madrigal quartette and the Hiring Chorus, both of which were exceedingly well rendered. The costumes and stage accessories which would have been a credit to any production, were designed and prepared specially for the perform- MOILY IN LENT. "Polly, farewell!

In consequence of the interference with the earth currents by the arc-lights, our wireless notes have arrived in such a condition of entanglement that we are unable to transcribe them for the press this week. # * * The Week is in receipt of a lengthy communication on the subject of Lot's wife and why she looked back, but as there is a press of live news for our column we regret we are unable to find space for it. The Week is given to understand that in all the churches of Victoria the doxology will be sung tomorrow night, in token of devout thankfulness to "whatever powers there bc" that thc subject of Seymour Narrows has been conspicuous by its absence from the columns of the daily press during the past week. rt * * Several correspondents have asked whether it is usual for a newspaper to depreciate thc contributions of its own staff in the shape of special articles. The answer is: probably not, if they are paid for. * * * Landseer once painted a picture entitled " Dignity and Impudence," which represented a tiny skye-terrier barking at a mastiff.
