If one is courteous, sincere and sane he stamps himself as a man of worth. The people he comes in contact with remark his strength or weakness and build for him a reputation in keeping with his reliability and intelligence. He has advertised himself for what he really is. Realizing the truth of this we wish to advertise ourselves for success; to create a permanent patronage and to avoid incorporating anything in our attitude towards our customers that would sacrifice the future to a petty present profit.

It is clean ancl j:some, with a good moral, plenty lcidc.it and a certain strain of ly which redeems it from senti- lilism. The whole play is written the character of "Conway," the ;rged hero of the Bowery, splen- Iplayed by Mr. G. D. Zucco.

The Crystal Theatre A big feature this week at the Crystal Theatre was the singing of Miss Schaffcr who made a hit with some of the latest successes. Spraguello and Norton, who appeared in a comedy singing and talking act, were also much in favour with the large audiences which heard .them at the beginning of the week. Some splendid comedy was seen in the moving picture entitled "Spring a Surprise" which fairly brought down the house. Amateur night on Wednesday was marked by the appearance of some new performers who have not hitherto competed for the weekly prize offered by the management aud adjudged by the audience. Romano's Theatre Scenes from the works of Charles Dickens appearing on the moving picture screen afforded twenty minutes pleasure to crowded houses at Romano's last Monday and Tuesday. Many of the principal and best known characters were portrayed with a fidelity which would have delighted Cruickshank, "Phiz" and other Dickens' illustrators. This type of picture is a pleasing innovation and one which it is hoped may be continued. The Majestic Theatre "The Laurel Wreath of Fame" was the title of a powerful Essanay drama at the Majestic during the middle of the current week, and painted in graphic detail thc struggles and tribulations which beset the path of the unknown composer. Some splendid European views of daily happenings were also shown by the Warwick Company of England this week at the Yates Street house. The Allen Players With the coming of "The Squaw Man" to the Victoria Theatre next week the Allen Players will open their tenth week in summer stock here, and no better vehicle, perhaps, could be chosen than this stirring Western drama that achieved success in the United States and also in England. The cast for this show appears exceptionally strong and includes two new names for the Allen Company. These are P. R. Allen himself, director of the company, who will appear as "Grouchy," the cowboy; and Mr. E. Mitchell, an English actor who will be seen in the part of Henry Kerhill. The Squaw Man, having been to Victoria several times, is well known and has always been very popular with theatre patrons. It will run this time for a full week with a matinee on the Saturday afternoon, a thing never accomplished with it before in this city. Miss Verna Felton will play the interesting part of Nat-U-Ritch, the Indian woman, and will be seen in her shortest speaking part of the repertoire. Olher characters are taken by the following: James Wynncgate, Mr. Zucco; Sir John Applcgatc, Byron Eagan; Big Bill, Mr. Conners; Diana Kerhill, Miss Hudars; Cash Hawkins, Mr. Kenck; Shorty, Mr. Stokes; Toby Warner, Mr. Clapp; Lady Elizabeth Kerhill, Mrs. P. R. Allen. A special engagement has been made to fill the cast, a young Victorian, having been billed in the part of Nat-U-Ritch's little son. Princess Theatre "Sunday," The Girl from the West, proved a most artistic success as well as a financial one the past week. It is a play which depends entirely upon clever, capable acting, and this it received in a marked degree from the Williams Stock Co. The character parts of Touser, Davery and Lively —all with some big, devoted purpose in their hearts—(and each one showing it in an entirely different manner), were splendidly conceived and acted by Arthur Belasco, Wm. Heater and Byron Aldenn. Mr. Foster stepped out from comedy parts to give an excellent idea ol Jackey. .Miss Page scored the hit of her engagement, giving a most finished performance of the part of "Sunday." It seems rather a pity that such conceptions of character as was shown by the Williams company should last only one brief week, but such is stock. Next week the Princess has a treat in store for its patrons. It presents Conan Doyle's great masterpiece. "Sherlock Holmes." This play ran for several years in London, England, with Mr. William Gillette in the leading role. It was also a success in New York city. Conan Doyle was knighted during the run of this play, and it is considered one of his greatest efforts. The Williams company will have entirely different types of character to portray from anything they have yet done, and considerable interest is aroused by the production. Richard Lonsdale will play Sherlock Holmes; Mr. Williams, the great criminal Moriarity, and Miss Page Alice Faulkner. Sherlock Holmes all week—Wednesday and Saturday matinee. A Jew is a man who talks through his nose and makes you pay through yours. The book of life begins with a man and woman in a garden and ends with revelations. yet.

WOOLDRIDGE, Proprietress Opposite the Victoria Theatre THE WEEK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 1912 The Week A Provincial Newspaper and Review published every Saturday by "The Week" Publishing Company, Limited Published at 1208 Government St., Victoria, B.C., Canada WILLIAM BLAKEMORE, Editor "Flanelled Fools and Muddied Oafs" By Bohemian No one resents Kipling's picturesque definition of a cricketer as "a flannelled fool and muddied oaf." It was one of those good humoured, grotesque characterizations which was bound to stick, and which hit off a distinctive feature of the cricketer. Anyone who recalls a first-class county team just leaving the pavilion and beginning their stroll across the field to the wickets, huge, athletic, good humoured, flannelled, at once sees that Kipling hit the mark. Next week will witness the carnival of cricketers in Victoria, and I sincerely hope that for this King of Games we shall have King's weather and the crowd which it deserves. There will be line sport and close finishes and as a life-long cricketer I am not a little proud of the fact that the game is "making such remarkable headway in British Columbia. Quite recently a cricketer of international fame visited Victoria; he was anxious to have, a game, and several local enthusiasts managed to draft him into a team which shall be nameless. Of a score which ran to 170 he contributed 8 when he was smartly caught in the slips from a "break" ball of the Victoria captain, L. S. V. York. This might have happened to any .international player, but all the same it was a feather in Lou's cap. Cricket week is a time to indulge in reminiscences. Indeed, anyone who sits round the the pavilion on the Jubilee Ground when a match is in progress will hear one and another speaking of "red letter days" of the long ago. There are a few old-timers, of whom our dear friend C. E. Pooley was one of the foremost, and ex- Governor Dewdney perhaps the most conspicuous survivor, who could always be relied on to recall some historic incident in Old Country cricket of forty or fifty years ago. I am afraid that I must plead guilty to advancing years myself, when I speak of the first important cricket match I ever saw. It was in 1868 at the Molineux grounds, Wolverhampton, between an all-England eleven and twenty-two local players In the eleven were Carpenter, Mc lntyre and Daft. The ground was small and the ball was constantly lifted into the Waterloo Road whicii ran alongside. In those days it was the invariable custom for the all-England eleven to play twenty-two local men. 1 remember once a splendid representative team was playing a Worcestershire twenty-two at Dudley. As the time for drawing the wickets drew near Shaw and Morley, the two great Notts bowlers, who were doing thc trundling, had a colloquy. I heard Shaw shout to the umpire and ask how much time there was. The answer came back, "Twenty minutes before the train goes." Shaw nodded to Morley; they then settled down to serious business; the remaining five wickets were disposed of in ten minutes, and the visiting team caught the train. . I saw the first match ever played ill England between an Australian and English team. It was on Trent Bridge Grounds, Nottingham. The Home team had five or six Notts men in, for at that time, and indeed for some years thereafter, Notts was the champion county. Alec Bannerman was the star bowler and I well remember how he ran up the crease to follow his ball, and would run up so far that the batsmen were afraid of hurting him, but he rarely missed a chance. I remember in this match William Gunn fielding on the boundary, took a marvellous catch, I think from G. J. Bonner, so high in the air that he had to leap up at least two feet to get it. Gunn himself was about 6 ft. 4 in. high and was for many years the terror of heavy hitters, as he could run like a deer and used to cover the boundary in inimitable style. Never shall 1 forget the first appearance of the demon bowler, Spof- forth. Tall, lanky, with a long run and a spread-eagle action which went a long way to nonplus the batsman. Spofforth was over six feet high, and delivered the ball from a very high point, his arm being extended vertically in the air to its utmost limit. As a result the ball came very fast off the pitch and bounded high. For several seasons Spofforth was most destructive and was never easily played until he began to lose pace. Speaking of bowlers brings me to one who is pronounced to be the greatest bowler of all time, Sydney Barnes, the Staffordshire man who is playing havoc with the best batsmen of the day. He has no equal and indeed no compeer. On a bowler's wicket he is unplayable, breaking fast both from leg and off. He recently took eight first-class wickets for twenty-eight runs and was easily the hero of the last Australian tour, and yet he plays for a second-class county, which has never had any pretensions in the cricket world. All honour to a man who sticks to his own team and has proved himself to be such a thorough sport. Miracles and Psychical Research Written Specially for The Week by ARTHUR J. HILL author of'New Evidences in Psychical Research" In his famous Essay on Miracles, the most influential English-speaking philosopher of the eighteenth century permitted himself to say that "a miracle is a violation of the laws of nature," whicii laws a "firm and unalterable experience has established." A century later, the most eminent literary critic (and, as Mr. Andrew Lang thinks, the best poet) announced in his usual Olympian manner that miracles "do not happen." The pronouncement may be found, in italics for sake of emphasis, iu the preface to "Literature and Dogma." These utterances were unfortunate. It is no doubt true that the kind of thing usually called miraculous did not enter into the experience of David Hume and Matthew Arnold; but this does not prove that such events have not entered into t'he experience of anybody else. If I must disbelieve all assertions concerning phenomena which I have not personally observed, I must deny that the sun can ever appear in the north; as indeed the Greeks did, when the circumnavigators of Africa came back with their story (Herodotus, book iv.). But if 1 do, I shall be wrong. The nineteenth century, elated with its magnificent scientific achievements, and impatient of anything that could not be exhibited in a test-tube or made to pay dividends, erred in this same Greek direction of over- incredulity, with regard to certain phenomena which cannot be produced to order, and which consequently may never be witnessed even by an investigator* who hunts for them. Like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, they are out of our control, and we have to wait until they turn •<" But when they do turn up, uiey can be investigated as scientifically as any other phenomena. The twentieth- century mind now realises this, ami the study of spiritistic and psi chical happenings is beginning to receive the attention it deserves. The improved attitude of the present generation—an attitude of suspension of judgment instead of negative dogma tism—is largely due to the admirable work of the Society for Psychical Research, which investigates these puzzling things in a careful and genuinely scientific and cautious fashion. Telepathy, or communication between mind and mind through channels other than the known sensory ones, is now regarded as proved, by all those who have investigated with any thoroughness. It is proved partly by spontaneous phenomena, as when somebody becomes aware of what is happening elsewhere—say by a hallucinatory vision of a friend or relative who is dying, though not known'by the percipient to be ill— and partly by experiments such as those carried out by Sir Oliver Lodge, and described by him in his book "The Survival of Man." Similar spon- toneous experiences are still being recorded, and similar experiments are being made; for a continual drip of evidence is required to wear away the popular prejudice which still remains. Passing to trance phenomena, few of us now doubt that mediums in this abnormal state do often give evidence which cannot be explained away by reference to normal causes. I have experimented for six years with one of these sensitives; and though 1 was entirely sceptical at first, I am now sure that some supernormal faculty is concerned. Probably it is partly telepathy, but some of the phenomena certainly suggest the agency of discarnate minds. Another interesting phase is that of "normal clairvoyance." A medium well known to me often sees and describes "spirit forms" which are unmistakably good representations of the sitter's deceased relatives or friends. And very often the correct names of these forms are given, with dates of death, age, and so forth. This of course suggests fraud; but in our investigations we have continually been on our guard against this, and have disproved it by introducing unknown sitters from distant towns, and by various other devices. These sittings are fully described in my book "New Evidences in Psychical Research," and the religious aspect is discussed in my "Religion and Modern Psychology" (both published by Rider, 164 Aldersgate St., London). I admit that though 1 do not accept the label of Spiritualist, I find it difficult or impossible to explain the phenomena without supposing the agency of discarnate minds, at least as a provisional hypothesis. But I warn intending investigators to go slowly. We want no return of superstition. Let all possible precautions be taken, and only the most conservative inferences made. We must have solid ground of fact under :s as we go on. Only so shall we achieve result' of lastine value. And—be it observed,—these results, though valuable, can have no particular certainty or sanctity attached to ti'em. They consist of sense-perceptions and inferences therefrom, like all other scientific material; and they suffer from a like uncertainty. Perceptions depend on sense-organs and on "apperceptive mass," and no two persons are identically equipped—no, nor the same person at different times. Inferences are plausible guesses, and are sure to be replaced by other more plausible ones, but there is no finality or certainty. Always there is another guess possible —perhaps many—besides the one which is fashionable at the moment. The science of psychical research, then, being a science and not a philosophy, can furnish no satisfactory basis for world-schemes or religions. It is too narrow in scope for the former; it has not the emotion-quality necessary in the latter. It may bring knowledge—sectional knowledge of various parts of the universe—but it cannot * make men good. It is not knowledge or intellectual power that will bring to pass the Kingdom of God on earth. For that, an inner change is needed. "A dogma learned"—theological or scientific-—"is only a new error—the old one was perhaps as good; but a spirit communicated is a perpetual possession."* What we want, to' reform the world, is the | Westholme Grill The Cosiest and Coolest Grill on the Pacific Coast.

The only valid reasons for charging tolls irst, to pay the cost of operation, maintenance and interest on |tment; and, second, to protect the transcontinental railways from Dinpetition of a free canal. ^Carrying Trade of Free Canal.—A free canal, at a conservative |ate, based on the data of trade experts, will carry in the first year 00,000 more of the products of the United States than a toll canal, Inount equal to receipts of tolls required to cover operation and :st for five years. At this rate for ten years, without even count- le natural growth from year to year, the increase for that period >ay for the entire original cost of the Canal and liberal interest ie investment, or $750,000,000. Stated another way, will the d States deliberately throw away an opportunity to increase the )f its products $750,000,000 in ten years in order to save X),000 in tolls? Would Destroy Monopoly.^-An annual appropriation of $3,000,- d operate and maintain the Canal and the assumption of its own st are a small burden to the United States Government compared . entire annual budget of $1,000,000,000 for the maintenance of overnment, but a direct annual tax of $15,000,000 on ships and ge is not only a heavy burden to traffic, but means a loss of X),000 and more, each year, in the commerce of the United A free canal, in addition to increasing the commerce of the d States in ten years to fifty times the cost of operation, mainten- and interest, will accomplish other results. It will absolutely )y all possibility, in any shape or manner, of monopoly in inter- ic traffic."

Nevertheless, United States vessels are allowed to go toll-free through these costly Canadian waterways. The United States tonnage through the Welland Canal is larger than the Canadian. The tonnage of both countries through the United States and Canadian canals at the Soo is larger than that of the Suez, and probably larger than that will be at Panama. "But Canada rejects the policy of cost tolls or profit tolls where they could be so easily collected," said the New York paper, "and it adopts the policy of making its artificial waterways as free as the high seas. The United States does the same with its canal at the Soo. Can the United States afford to adopt a Panama Canal policy less generous to Canada or the nations than this Canadian canal policy is to the United States?" Competition of Suez Canal.—The general answer has been in the affirmative. The Panama Canal bill, introduced in the United States House, allows the President to fix the tolls, but prohibits him from putting them higher than $1.25 per net registered ton. This rate was selected because it was six or seven cents lower than the charge in the Suez Canal. The expectation is that the President will fix the rates at about $1 per net registered ton, American measurement. This will be expected to give the Canal a marked advantage over the Suez route, so far as the cost of passage is concerned. In addition to this the bill gives the President the right to establish coal and supply depots along the Canal. By that means the United States Government will sell coal and supplies to passing vessels probably at about cost. Favour Lozv Tolls—The common feeling, both in the United States and abroad, is in favour of comparatively low tolls. The low rates and reductions in rates on the operations of the Suez Canal, since the opening of that waterway in 1869, has helped to increase the tonnage from year to year, with only eleven exceptions. In 1906, the tolls were reduced to 7.75 francs per ton; in 1911, to 7.25 francs a ton; and in 1912, to 6.75 francs a ton. Vessels in ballast pay 2.50 francs less than vessels with cargoes. That this reduction in 1906 stimulated traffic may be inferred from the increase in the number of vessels using the Suez Canal, the increase in gross tonnage transported, and the increase in revenue in 1910 in comparison with the respective figures for 1905, the year preceding the reduction stated. The number of vessels increased from 4,116 to 4,533; the gross tonnage from 18,310,- 400 to 23,054,900 tons; and the revenues from 110,656,400 francs to 127,251,200 francs in 1910.

What they hope |o make is a reunion of the old timers, vhom the present generation like to lonour so much, who were of the old |orce when it took a man who was man to belong to the Northwest lounted Police. It is the earnest wish of these gen- Jlemen, namely, Mr. Geo. Lane, Mr. y. Burns, Mr. A. E. Cross and A. J. IcLean to produce in correct detail the procession of this pageant the various stages of this country at the proper dates, etc., and as they came in here, and with this end in view they are making a special effort to secure the exact replicas of the uniform worn in 1874 and we want you men to appear in the parade in these uniforms. It is needless for me to say you will have a good time while here' as you will meet friends and fellow comrades at this time and in our estimation an organization with the fame of the Northwest Mounted Police should be given such a fitting tribute as should be given to them and welcome them and introduce them to the present generation who have heard so much of them and their deeds. In this respect would say we are going to have the guns and mortars which were used by your gunners and which you brought into Fort Whoop-Up and that were of such interest to you in the old days. Kindly let us have your chest measurement, waist measure and length of trousers at once as we are having the uniforms made and require this information at the earliest possible moment.

Many of the gen- mentioned are no strangers to Columbia having visited it on occasions and have for years ixperimenting with trees and from this Province, as well as ither parts of the world, and y therefore take it that their is of such a Character that y accept it as one on which t reliance can be placed. These nen said that in their opinion of the empire is so well suited purpose of an Arboretum, as iver Island, especially the vi- of Victoria, and surprise was ied that no action had so far aken by the Government to- that end and I was assured l>ery assistance lying in their would be accorded in case vere taken towards the estab- lt of an arboretum at or near Victoria. Mr. Elwes offered to make an address on the subject if-agreeable to us; his intention was at that time to stop here in October on his way to the Orient whither he was proceeding on some forestry investigations. I undertook on behalf of the Natural History Society to get up a representative meeting where he would have an opportunity of meeting our public men if he were able to carry out his intentions. Since my return I have received a letter from him in which he says: "I am leaving England on the 7th of December for Formosa where the Japanese government foresters are going to show me what is considered to be the finest virgin forest in Asia, and where they have a big timber mill now working. I cannot be sure whether I shall return via B. C. or via Siberia, but in case I can manage the former I will write to you and arrange to carry out my promise." Mr. Balfour also wrote under date of December 22nd as follows; "I would be glad to hear if my proposal for an Arboretum for the Province has materialized." Mr. Elwes, as well as many of the other gentlemen mentioned, offered their services- in any.way that would further the scheme and promised assistance in the shape of contributions of such trees and shrubs as they have to spare. Now, Mr. President and Members, I submit that as members of the N. H. S. and as Victorians we would be derelict in our duty did we not take steps towards availing ourselves of the spontaneous offers that have been made and to use every effort by approaching the proper authorities and through the press whereby the establishment of an Arboretum near Victoria may be realised. We cannot ignore the verdict of such eminent forest authorities as I have mentioned, confirmatory as it is of our own opinions which we have at various times emphasized, and I particularly-wish to remind members of the paper which was presented to the Society entitled "Evergreen Trees for an Evergreen City," in which it was clearly set forth that Victoria on account of its climatic conditions and geographical position, is most favourably situated for purposes of growing plants not only of t'he temperate regions, but many of those of a subtropical character. In England the average temperature of the year is as great as that of our own, but summers in the former country are comparatively moist ancl more cloudy so that the young shoots are more spongy and unripenecl and therefore liable to injury by frost. This accounts for the fact that many trees and shrubs which are comparatively hardy, often fail in the British Isles and from this circumstance it is alleged by the experts alluded to, that our climatic conditions are ideal for the successful growth of plants generally. I would suggest, ' Mr. President, that some action be taken in reference to Mr. Elwes' offer so that he may be induced to return this way ancl give his promised address. J. R. ANDERSON. Victoria, B.

Smith, M.P., tells a story of a County Court case lie was once engaged in, in which the plaintiff's son, a lad of eight years, was to appear as a witness. When the youngster entered the box he wore boots several sizes too large, a hat that almost hid his face, long trousers rolled up so that the baggy knees were at his ankles, and, to complete the picture, a swallow-tail coat that had to be held to keep it from sweeping the floor. This ludicrous picture was too mucn for the Court; but the judge, between his spasms of laughter, managed to ask the boy his reason for appearing in such garb. With wondering look the boy fished in an inner pocket and hauled the summons from it, pointing out a sentence with solemn mien as he did so. "To appear in his father's suit," it read. Popularity is when people like you. Reputation is when they ought to but really cannot. Mr. Prevost Battersby says, "The instant a woman loves a man she's afraid of him and of every other woman who comes near him." Moderation is fatal. Nothing succeeds like excess. Be frank and explicit. This is the best way to conceal your own mind and confuse that of everyone else. For woman love is a tragedy, for man it is a short story.

A park residence within two miles of the city hall on a lot which will cost you only $500.00. This is a record in "value for money"and the easy terms make it a gift. Stamford Park has everything in its favor. An eminence from which the whole country can be viewed with exquisite panoramic effects over the Straits of Juan de Fuca to the Olympic Mountains; beautiful woodland for shelter; sloping ground which assures sanitary conditions; proximity to a proposed car ine which will land you in the centre of town in 10 minutes. Stamford Park is essentially a scenic subdivision and an ideal residential homesite proposition. ITS permanent character is determined by reasonable building restrictions which will render it always a delightful and picturesque suburb of Victoria. You cannot match the lots in this subdivision anvwhere else at less than double the price and the sale has been so successful that it will be off the market before you know. Prices $500 to $700 a lot, 1-5 down, balance in 6, 12,18 and 24 months, at 7 per cent. Delays are especially dangerous where the buying of choice residential lots near Victoria is concerned.

Hc loses her who gains her, Who watches day by day The dust of time that stains her, The griefs that leave her gray, Thc flesh tliat yet enchains her Whose grace hath passed away. Oh! happier he who gains not The love some stem to gain; The joy that custom stains not Shall still with him remain, The loveliness that wanes not, The love that ne'er can wane. He dreams she grows not older The land of dreams among, Though all the world wax colder, Though all the songs be sung. In dreams doth he behold her Still fair and kind and young." A GOOD STORY The following is told of Lord Mersey and of his comment on a certain young barrister who is now well known in Parliament. The barrister had, when quite young, the same patronising manner that distinguishes him now, and, on this occasion, he patronised the judge and the jury to his heart's content. Lord Mersey bore it quite patiently, rather to people's surprise, but, walking back to his rooms—it was on circuit—arm-in-arm with a friend, he passed a new building—one of those colossal erections imported from America. Glancing at it he said, whimsically, "Ah, those must be the chambers of our young friend of this morning." In the inner recesses of their hearts there are a number of cold women who adore a bold buccaneer. One cannot be a wife and an artist at the same time. They are two separate vocations that lead in opposite directions. \\ Girls do not know how to choose husbands —but widows do—great are the compensations granted to widows for losses sustained. It is better to make mistakes than not to live at all.—Phrynette Married. When a woman says go it is a man's business and duty to stay.—The Good Girl. Many people refrain from committing suicide because of the Morning Post. Flirting requires practice. It's almost as exact a science as mathematics. A man has no business to marry a woman who can't make him miserable—it means that she can't make him happy. In love affairs more than anything else, it is the preliminaries that are entrancing to most women.—Daphne in the Fatherland. Love Is a very human personage; at first trifles content him, a glance, a smile, the twinkle of an ankle, or the touch of a hand. But his appetite increases with feeding till he demands everything.—The Woman Between, by Edward Bosanquet.

Their approach is heralded by a "Champion" in the shape of a journalistic organ, which modestly declares that it is here to' educate the people of Victoria in the rights, or preferably the wrongs, of women, and somewhat sententiously reminds us that "The Woman's Cause is Man's." Having failed to settle the first knotty question as to who is editor, a number of estimable ladies with an energetic organizing secretary have formed themselves into a band of Associate Editors, weighing themselves clown with the ponderous and immemorial "We, the Editorial Staff.." About this editorial staff there is far more modesty than one generally finds among suffragettes, and one cannot but admire the spirit which prompts the editorial staff of "The Champion" to say "We, the editorial staff, are deeply conscious of its inadequacy to do justice to the great Cause which it is to represent." In the foreword the editors say that "Humanity is like a bird, which, while one wing is crippled, can never fly a straight or upward course." The Week assumes that this explains why the "hatchet" has been chosen as the symbol of the Women's Suffrage Movement, and why it was designed by the suffragettes fo furnish poor Mr. Asquith with one crippled wing. "The Champion" endorses the campaign of violence indulged in by Mrs. Pankhurst, Miss Crystabel Pankhurst, Miss Sybil Pankhurst, Miss Gladys Evans ancl other fair ladies who have recently distinguished themselves, some of them by smashing windows, others by hurling hatchets, others by setting fire to public buildings, and others by running away. The Colonist has in one of its intelligent editorials dealt most admirably with the Suffragette Movement, and has put the case in a nut-shell when it says that women do not want a vote; that those who have it do not exercise it, and that when, if ever, they do want it, they will get it as they get most things—without a struggle. After many years' study of the question and of the methods of suffragettes, The Week has come to the conclusion that they do want something—but it is not a vote. COMMISSION GOVERNMENT— It was rather amusing to notice-that several gentlemen who appeared before the Municipal Commission this week as advocates of- Government by Commission were unabie to explain the details of the proposal, ancl, indeed, had to admit their ignorance of the matter. They confused Government by Commission with Government by a Board of Control. The latter form of Municipal Government has been in operation in Toronto for some years. A Board of Control consists of two or three men of special ability in public affairs appointed ancl paid by the City Council to manage the affairs of the city ancl to deal with all matters of detail upon which the Council has settled the question of policy. The system has not been an unqualified success in Toronto, the chief difficulty being that the Council has considered that it had the prerogative to interfere with fhe work of the Board of Controllers to an extent which they did not approve. Of Government by Commission little is known, because there are certain details of the scheme which have not been elaborated. For instance, it has not been decided whether the Commission should be elected by popular vote, and if so, for how long a period? Or, whether the Commissioners would be appointed, ancl if so, by whom? Or, if Commissioners were appointed, would there be a City Council at all, pr would it be entirely clone away with ? The system might be adopted with any one of these variations, and The Week is con-' vinced that when the citizens of Victoria voted by" a majority in favour of Government by Commission, none of these points had been elucidated. It must not be forgotten that the proposal to rule by Commission instead of by a popular chamber is a turning back of the clock towards absolutism, and the advocates of popular government have been trying for many years to get away from this. As a contemporary recently said and said very wisely, "It may take a thousand years for the peophj to learn how to govern themselves to their own best advantage, but they should keep Pegg'ng away at it and not allow themselves to be turned back from it. However long it takes to perfect (he system,wt. is. - worth doing, and emperors have been longer than that learning their business." The view of The Week is that the citizens of Victoria would make a; mistake to place out of their own hands the direct control of their own affairs, which, if not as well managed as they might be, are still actually in their hands. The system has been found good enough for the Old Country, where the best possible municipal government exists. All that is wanted in Victoria is to select the most competent heads of Departments, pay them well and strengthen their position, so that the city may get the best results from men unhampered by vexing and useless interference. DESERVED PROMOTION—There is not in the employment of the Provincial Government a more painstaking ancl conscientious servant than A*fr. Henry Cathcart, who lias been identified with the Public Lands Department for twenty-eight years. The enormous development of the business of the Department has entirely outgrown the machinery, and Mr. Ross has been busy ever since he assumed the Portfolio re-organizing the Department ancl creating new branches. Forestry and Immigration have claimed much of his attention. He has called in proved experts ancl placed these two exceedingly important Departments on a sound footing. He is now turning his attention to the subject whicii has furnished more ground for criticism to the Opposition than any other: that of a closer acquaintance with the lands of the Province. It has been a standing complaint that men seeking pre-emptions, or desiring to make purchases of land, could not get the necessary information, and no doubt this was, to some extent a well- founded, complaint. But it was due chiefly to the impossibility,of keeping pace with the development of the Province unless the work of the whole Department of Lands was re-organized. This has now been done, and Mr. Ross has. created an entirely new branch known as the Inspection'Branch of the Crown Land Office. At the head of this Department he has placed Mr. Cathcart, who thus secures, w.ell-earned promotion and a: substantially increased salary. Mr. Cathcart. thoroughly deserves ancl will receive the congratulations of all who have had the ..pleasure of doing business with his Department. FREE TRADE—There are few important subjects about which a,mask; of mi'sreprjesfintatipji ami error has' been woven to such an extent as about Free Trade.. To many people it has become a fetish arid it is not at all uncommon to hear public speakers point to the commercial supremacy of England as due to the Free Trade doctrines of Richard Cobden. In a recent article in the Winnipeg Saturday Post, referring to a controversy between Mr. J. S. Willison, the Editor of the To ronto News, and Mr. J. W. Scallion, tl latter gentleman falls into this old errcf and in rhetorical language demands to kndl whether the immense trade ancl commercl enterprise of Britain as a whole is not result of Free Trade. The Winnipeg PJ refers Mr. Scallion to Green's "Shorf History of England," where he will lea that the industries and the great industtl communities did not have their origin ill Free Trade country. In the reigns Henry VIII ancl Elizabeth the manufactl ers of England were a negligible quantj and the manufactured articles used by English nation were the products of 1 French, the Flemish and the Florentiil The manufacturing interests of EnglJ did not Attain any prominence until II tection was afforded, and then the mal facturers of those foreign countries wl| had previously supplied England under entry of their goods, came promptly ancl set up their establishments in Brill Then and only then did the manufactl of Britain begin to flourish. Theyl creased by leaps ancl bounds, and the in| trial future of England was laid and tinned, uninterrupted, to gain in stre| and volume under a Protective Tarif hundreds of years before advocates of j Trade changed the policy which had*! ated those industries.

LABOURERS WANTED—Fronl wheat growers of the Prairies cry still goes up, "Come overt help us," and according to latest despal no fewer than 50,000 men are require harvest the golden grain. Yet in fad .this tremendous fact and of the ful fact that there is still a substantial balanl last year's crop not moved, the railway | panies have raised the transportation for farm labourers. This seems to unjustifiable course, especially if as| (Prairie Press contends, it will have effect tif landing the 'labourers at peg instead of at points from 500 to miles further West. One would thinkl the transportation companies had at leal equal interest with the grain growers il curing necessary labour. The action ol Canadian railway companies is in ma| contrast with that of the American panies, who this year are carrying this of labour free. Correspondence PERSECUTION AND THAT SORT OF THING Bishop's Residence 740 View St. Box 663. Victoria, B.C., Aug. 15, 1912. To the'Editor of The Week: Dtar Sir—Kindly permit me a few remarks on the article by "Bohemian," in your issue of Aug. 10. Fust of all I wish to say that "The Orphans' Friend" is not my personal organ in the sense that 1 accept responsibility for every statement made in it, but ouly in the sense that I sometimes write for it and use it as the vehicle of official communications. As a matter of fact, tlie article in the number for August, 1900, from which "Bohemian" professes to cite a statement, was not written by me, nor am I prepared to subscribe to everything just as it is there set down. The writer complains that Catholic parents are "forgetful of the grave dangers to which faith and morals are exposed in those [public] schools," which is not quite the same thing, 1 take it, as to warn them "not to expose their children to perdition by sending them to the public schools of this city." This latter statement contains, at least implicitly, a reflection upon the morality of the public schools of this city which I should deem it my bounden duty to apologize for if anyone for whose words 1 can fairly be held answerable were to publish it. The position of the Catholic Church on the question pf education is well known. She deems it needful to have her own schools in order to safeguard the faith of her children, and mould their lives on the Christian pattern. But she is very far indeed from deeming it needful to cast aspersions on those who do not sec eye to eye with her in this matter. The three extracts which Bohemian" cites as having been made from the encyclical of Pope Pius IX, bearing date December 8, 1864, have not been made from that document. What is more. I take it upon myself to affirm that they have not been made from any encyclical ever at any time issued by any of the Popes. What purports to be an extract (1st) "from latest decree of the present Pope," is not an extract, and is not from the latest decree of the present Pope. The Motu Proprio of the 9th October, 1911, re-affirms what has been known of old in the Church as the Privilegium Fori. It forbids Catholics, under pain of being cut off from the Church, to bring ecclesiastics before the civil courts without, permission of the competent ecclesiastical authority. This enactment was made at a time when all the Christian world was Catholic, and is still in force in Catholic countries. But in countries like our own it has never been enforced, and so has fallen into abeyance. The principle of it, however, is sound, viz., that when there is question of offences committed by clerics, since the Church has tribunals of her own quite competent to mete out justice, it is only fitting her own children should first have recourse to these. As for the "extracts" numbered 2nd and 3rd respectively, I shall be pleased to interpret and explain them whenever exact references are given. At present I am unable to place them. In conclusion, I declare on my word of 'honour as a Catholic Bishop that the spirit of persecution is not and never has been the spirit of the Catholic Church, though it appears to have been, in centuries gone by, the spirit of some high-placed ecclesiastics, and certainly was the spirit of the times. But those times are gone beyond recall, and the fierce spirit that pervaded them will never more, I do hope and believe, become live and operative again. I am sorry that our Orange neighbours should think us capable of harbouring a wish to revive the bitter religious feuds of days that are dead. But if they will entertain such a thought, they should at least credit us with elementary prudence and the faculty of learning by experience. History proves but too plainly that persecution is sure to provoke reprisals. Why, then, should we persecute? The situation seems to me to be very happily hit off in a cartoon which appeared in the Victoria "Colonist" of Sunday, August 4, bearing this legend: '"E says to mi, 'Why don't yer 'it 'im?' "It 'im,' 1 says, 'what's the use of my 'ittin' im? 'E'd'it me, back again'." ALEX. MacDONALD, Bishop of Victoria. [The Editor of The Week has pleasure in printing the above letter and in so far as it refers to the article of our staff correspondent "Bohemian" would respectfully point out that the only portions of that article criticized hy the llisbop are the extracts printed at. the end "without comment" which were furnished hy and published at the request of the local Orange Lodge. In giving them publicity llohcmian stated specifically that they were published "without comment, und sininly lo satisfy our readers that in this as in all matters, Thc Week is absolutely impartial and prepared to voice both sides of any public question nf importance.!
