Eighth Yeae One Dollab Peb Annum JE LIBERTY OF THE SUBJECT [rhe readers of The Week are requested lake special note of the report whieh ap- lirs in this issue of the proceedings be- |e the Police Commisioners on Monday when an enquiry was held into the Itter of the arrest and incarceration of Bronsen Singh. The Week wishes at outset to state that the Commissioners Ide a thorough investigation as far as material before the Court permitted; It they extended every courtesy to the Iresentatives of The Week, and that |ler the circumstances their finding was and equitable. But, this does not Idly dispose of the question at issue Teh is whether the police have the right arrest and lock up a prospective witness [the mere purpose of detaining him in eity, especially when the witness does [belong to the criminal classes and has lean record. The Object of the Week I'he object whicii The Week had in view ■jiving publicity to this important case not to convict George Kirk & Co., or [stable Heather of improper ,conduct to determine if possible what the Its of a private citizen are in respect to (st, and incidentally what view the Po- ICommissioners and the Police Author- Victoria take of those rights. That Ition has been settled. The judgment ic Mayor, in which his colleagues con- led, was perfectly clear and The Week Ives it is sound. He held that there J justification for The Week taking the Is it did in the interests of the personal |clom of the citizen, and, whilst exoner- ■ the police constable because he had in accordance Avith the police regula- stated that in all cases where posit is better to lay a charge. That |edes the whole case of The Week, British Law ian is known to belong to the criminal les there may be cases where it would [istifiable to adopt extreme measures to lent him from leaving town when his pnee was required in a matter of im- Jtnce, and even then the arbitrary act arresting and locking up a witness Ild be very cautiously exercised; but in lease of a man of good character, list whom nothing is known, The Ic still believes that neither British Ihor British sense of justice would lion such a proceeding. Constable' Iher seemed to realise this, because his Ice proceeded along entirely different He said that he arrested Bronsen because he suspected him of being Iccomplice with Lehman in stealing The Week is perfectly willing to ac- [this statement, but in doing so would out that the action of the constable Jd have been more consistent with his lice if he had seen that an information laid, and a proper charge formulated. [Mayor's remark would seem to indi- Jthat this would have been the wiser le to pursue, and in this connection it jt a ltitle singular that although Mr. on the first occasion and Mr. Hig- his solicitor, on the second occasion [ed Bronsen Singh's detention, they ler proceeded to make a charge nor to [he Hindu as a witness when the case into court. Lay a Charge jithing more need be said on this phase [ie question beyond emphasizing the J that the principle for which The Ic contended, viz. that the arrest of any [should be followed by the laying of a hr information, was confirmed by the ■nissioners. The Week acquits Con- h Heather of any personal responsibil- [i the matter; not because it thinks he wisely, but because his action was j'sed by his superior officers who Ifore assumed the responsibility. The |ion of bad language is a minor issue. Constable Heather denied having said "God damn you"; he admitted saying "damn you". He also admitted that he told Bronsen Singh that "if he knew and would not say so he would not get any sympathy or mercy from him," which, taken in connection with the treatment of the Hindu is not without some significance. Sweating The view which The Week took from the beginning was that the object of locking up the man on two separate occasions, several days intervening, was to "sweat" him, and this thought must have occurred to the mind of the Mayor because he asked if that was not the idea which The Week had. It certainly was and still is. But, if Constable Heather's superior officers consider that "sweating" is justifiable, the constable certainly cannot be held responsible. Attitude of Daily Press Only one other thing remains to be said, and that is that the attitude of the daily preSs towards this whole matter must be one of profound regret to any liberty-loving community. Both the Colonist and the Times • suppressed the most material evidence given in the case of Kirk & Company vs. Lehman when the matter was before the court. They held aloof, which was their privilege, when The Week drew attention to what appeared to be an improper, if not an illegal, arrest, and when the case came before the Police Commissioners they not only suppressed every item favourable to The' Week, but they both misrepresented and garbled the evidence and the findings of the court.. The Colonist came out with a scare head-line "Charges Against Detective Fail," an 1 the Times varied the wording but admirably preserved the spirit in a head-line wliieh read "Charge Is Found to Be Groundless One." Both papers ignored the fact that the statement published in The Week was substantiated in every single particular, except as to the swearing., They also, of course, omitted to quote the finding of the Commissioners, although it was very brief, and completely exonerated The Week from the charge of having exceeded the legitimate bounds of public criticism. The result is an injustice to The Week and to the public. The former has incurred the expense of procuring a verbatim report of the hearing from the court stenographer so that there may be no question as to what actually took place. Neither of the daily papers apparently considered it a matter of sufficient importance to warrant an accurate, still less a detailed report; there was nothing in question but the personal liberty of a Hindu ancl the opportunity to give a backhanded blow to The Week by suppressing the truth. Systematic Suppression This is not the only case in which both daily papers stand convicted of pursuing a similar policy, but it is one of sufficient importance to every citizen to justify tho trouble and expense which The AVeek has incurred; for whatever else may result from the enquiry it is certain that more care will be exercised in future in the arrest of prospective witnesses, even at the request of influential tradesmen ancl their solicitors, and that in any event more regard will be paid to the British custom of laying an information as promptly as possible after tlie arrest has been made. ROBBING JOHN BULL The Week has had a good deal to say lately about the policy of the daily press in suppressing important news items, and from the persistency with which this has been done it is only reasonable to conclude that the course has been adopted in pursuance of a settled policy. The view of The Week is that the Press has no right to hold back legitimate news, and that to do so is an offence against public morals, as well as being inimical to the public interest. There may fairly be a difference of opinion as to what constitutes "news" in a technical newspaper sense. For instance, it would be obviously improper to print many of the rumours which are heard at the street corner, although they might have a substratum of truth; indeed, the first duty of an editor is to test the accuracy of his information by every reasonable means at command. If the information conies from a reliable source, and the public interest would be served by its publication, a newspaper has no right to suppress it. Both Victoria daily papers have refused to give publicity to the facts which follow; as to whether they were justified in their refusal the readers of The Week must judge for themselves. Whether the object is to shield the guilty parties must also be a matter of conjecture, but there can hardly be a question that on any rational definition the story is a news item of very great importance, and its suppression is calculated to defeat the ends of justice. It seems to be a matter of common knowledge, at any rate to persons living at Esquimalt, that for many years the Imperial Government stores kept there for naval purposes have been regularly and systematically pilfered. Such goods as indiarubber, paint, rope and oils being the favourite plunder. It is believed that this extensive and long-continued thieving could only have been carried on by .collusion between the actual thieves and some persons in tlie employ of the Government, and having access to the stores. The annual sales of naval stores by auctioa, the details of which can be obtained from the auctioneers' books, account for but a very moderate percentage of the stores not actually consumed on the ships. A week ago in consequence of information received the Customs officers of the Dominion Government seized a large quantity of rubber at the works of the Victoria Machinery Depot. This rubber is of a peculiar make, furnished only to the Navy and was unquestionably stolen from the naval stores at Esquimalt by the parties who sold it to Mr. Houston, the foreman of the Victoria Machinery Company. The interest of the Customs authorities is that the rubber was a consignment of English goods which had not paid duty. They took tho property seized and deposited it in the warehouse of the Customs Department, where it still remains. The naval authorities have placed the matter in the hands of the police who are no doubt investigating the theft. It would be wholly improper at the present stage to make any comment upon their work, but it 's surely a matter of public interest to let it be known that such an important end extensive seizure has been made by the officers of the Dominion Government. It it inconceivable that wholesale robbery of this kind should be condoned; any settlement "sub-rosa" would be compound] ".g a felony which is decidedly not only illegal but opposed to the public interest. For this reason, The Week has no hesitation in giving publicity to the facts, and expresses the hope that the vigilance of the police will ensure the capture of the criminals.. There is no reason to suppose that the principals of tho Victoria Machinery Company were privy to the transaction, but since a reference to their books shows that the rubber in question was purchased at a nominal price, they should certainly not hesitate to .require a full explanation from their foreman. At any rate these are the facts and apart from the one instance of theft which is hereby demon- started the story throws a very interesting light. upon the* "easy mark" which that popular and jovial old gentleman, John Bull, becomes in the hands of unscrupu lous servants far from home. Incidentally, it also shows why the defence of the Empire is a costly undertaking for the British tax-payer. BRITISH NEWS In the matter of the publication of British News the Colonist has constituted itself judge and jury and, having asked whether it publishes all the news available, winds up by saying that it does, and therefore that there is no room for improvement. In arriving at this conclusion the Colonist entirely ignores the facts which The Week has laboriously collected day after day and published in several issues, showing that all the competitors of the Colonist are able to secure and to publish a far greater quantity of British news. The Week has repeatedly asked the question why the Colonist cannot do as well as its competitors, and especially why it is necessary to buy a Vancouver World on the streets of Victoria in order to obtain a modicum of British news. During the present week the Colonist has printed exactly 32^2 inches of British news in five issues; the Province has printed 150^ inches, and the World 13314, so that it- will be seen that the proportion of the Colonist news varies from one-fourth to one-fifth of that of the other papers. Amongst the important items published in the Province and the World and entirely ignored by the Colonist are the following: South African Railway Disaster; Canadian Arch for the Coronation; a London Despatch re new C. P. R. Steamers; Copyright Bill; Retirement of Dean Gregory; British Fleet in Delagoa Bay; Lord Kitchener's Command; Plague in India; Canadian Visitors in London; Outline of Proposed Home Rule Bill; Arrest of the Manager of the Charing Cross Bank; Regulation of Trust Companies in Australia; British Aerial Defence; The King and Ireland; London Telegram re Attempted Assassination of Kaiser. These are a few items taken at hap-hazard, none of which appear to lack interest, and all of whicii were printed in the Vancouver papers. Why does not the Colonist face the issue and since it is so anxious to receive suggestions tell the public why it is only able to gather one-fifth of the British news secured by its competitors. SEX HYGIENE The best editorial by long odds that has ever been printed in the Victoria Times appeared in the issue of Wednesday last and dealt with the subject of sex hygiene. The Week wishes to say in the most emphatic manner that it is in entire accord with every word of that article. It has the greater gratification in saying this because it has come iii for a good deal of odium for expressing similar views time after time, and it only hopes that the Victoria Times will be a "stand-patter" on this very vital matter. The Week has always maintained that the idea of teaching sex hygiene in public schools emanates from erotic and diseased brains, and that what parents do not teach their children in this connection had better go untaught. Indeed, it would go a stop further and say that any parent has a legal right to object to the teaching of such a subject to his child. Such a course is bound to lead to pruriency and immorality. This has been the experience wherever it has been tried, and human nature is the same all the world over. The Week has ahvays believed that so-called moral reformers, who inflict prurient and salacious lectures on the public should be prohibited by the police, and the men, however, well-meaning, who support such a movement should be looked after by their friends. Surely it is not unreasonable to express the hope THE WEEK, SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1911. In a recent issue of The Week I made some remarks about the millen- ium, saying that when that happy period arrived there might be found some ladies returning from "Pink teas," who would be willing to relinquish their seats in street cars to tired-out men. It would appear from the following letter that the day when such consideration on the part of the fair sex may be expected is very far distant, seeing that an act of courteous thoughtfulness only aroused the derision of the ladies (sic) who witnessed it. The letter needs no further comment; it speaks for itself, and I only wish to add that the name of the sender was attached and will be furnished to any Doubting Thomas who may feel that some unwarranted aspersion is being cast upon the manners of some Victorian ladies. Cowichan Station, April 25, 1911. To the Editor Week: Dear Sir:—I noticed the incident mentioned by the Lounger about the young lady and the tired man in the street car: I can vouch for the following which happened on a Fort Street car two weeks ago: A lady entered a car at the corner of Fort and Douglas Streets and as there were no vacant seats she stood for some time until a middle-aged man who was by his dress evidently a plasterer or bricklayer, rose and said, "Take this seat, lady!" but the lady said, "No, thank you, you are more tired than I am; you have been working hard all day." The man said "Thank you, ma'am," 2nd kept his seat. Then everyone on the car that heard what passed stared at the lady as if she had said something outre, and two ladies sniggered and one said to the other, "Did you hear that?" It seems from this that politeness and consideration for others is very rare and uncommon in the street cars of Victoria. If the Lounger likes to use this he may. I know it to be true because the lady in question was my wife. I am, Yours truly, There is probably.no one who more thoroughly enjoys a ride in an automobile than the writer of this column and personally I have no bias against the speed fiends, because I know that I should be one if I had the chance. I have only one "kick" against the automobilist and that is when he is noisy. It would seem impossible to check joy-riding in the early hours of the morning. When all the world is still and when speed is practically permissable owing to the absence of any traffic, the only real objection which people can have to these joy- rides is the infernal row they make. I want to know why it is necessary for motorists of this description to confine themselves to the city limits when indulging in this particular form of amusement. Two men have complained to mc this week with regard to the noise made by joy-riders just before dawn. Beacon Hill Park was the locale in one instance and of course the long-suffering Rockland Avenue was in the other. For goodness sake, joy-riders, do get out of town if you want to make night hideous and the early morning worse. I would never appear as a witness in court on a question of speed, but I would gladly give evidence in any charge of this description. * * * There is only one society which really fascinates me and which I would support with financial, when possible, and spiritual aid at all times, and that is the Anti-Noise Society, which is in active operation under some name or other in various large cities and which has up to date accomplished much in the way of eliminating useless noises. Already some genius has invented a noiseless typewriter and a reference to the Financial Column of the current issue of The Week will show that thc com- [BptiBiuj punos v uo }ncl uaoq s«i| uo|}uoaui s;i[} Suisfijjn s; ipujA-v Xuucl basis. The inventor is a public benefactor and to my mind is worthy of the Nobel prize. * # * We in the West are rather prone to boast that wa have no tenement houses, no slums and none of the horrors which accompany such places, in our cities. The other day I took a stroll round Humboldt Street and up Church Hill and round again by Victoria Crescent into Humboldt. I was appalled by the conditions existing there and sincerely trust that the whole of the section comprised by the streets named has been included in the list of houses condemned during the recent visit of inspection by the City Engineer and the Building Inspector. The place is a fire-trap and must surely be a breeding-place for disease. Cabins, shacks and outbuildings are huddled up together in one heterogeneous mass, and I can't think how it is that I never noticed this abuse before. I ought to have been fulminating about it for the last six years; but it is never too late to mend and now that the city is making such forward strides in every direction I hope that it will not be long before we see a complete demolition of this and similar abominations. * * * I do not ever remember seeing the traffic blocked in Victoria; not really blocked that is to say, but I saw something very much like it last Tuesday on Broad Street, and I was so struck with the incident that I made a note of it at the time. I refer to that part of Broad lying between Johnson and Cormorant. Outside John Meston's carriage works there were seven horseless rigs awaiting attention, and two long timber carrying wagons. A couple of teams of horses were being led to their morning's work. One big dray was going into Brackman-Ker's warehouse whilst another was awaiting its turn. Three automobiles were standing outside the Western Motor Co.'s store and there was some kind of an obstruction in front of Messrs. Home's establishment. This was all before ten o'clock in the morning and it must not be thought that I am regsi- tering any kind of a complaint. Far from it; I was delighted to see such signs of prosperity, and though the circumstances somewhat non-plussed the driver of a rig who was passing through, I couldn't help wishing that all the streets of Victoria showed such business activity so early in the morning. * * * For it was early in the morning— for Victoria. Is there any other city in the world of the same size and importance where such late hours prevail in the morning and such early ones at night? I doubt it. True things arc better than they used to be. I seem to remember the time when the average business man came down about 10:30, glanced at his mail, took a stroll round to see what was doing and then went out to lunch. In the afternoon he might be seen from 2 till about 4:30, but all business was at an end by 5 o'clock. We do rather better than that now, but still, there is hardly that ceaseless rush of business which makes young men old and has a deteriorating influence on the hair. I can't say that I am particularly anxious to see Victoria develop into a rush business town; it might interfere, too much with my own comfort. * * * It is also astonishing to see how many men seem to have the time to spend on the streets if there is anything to be seen. Take for instance last Tuesday when the Fire-chief made his spectacular dash down Government Street after a new hat. The side-walks were literally thronged with beholders who appeared to vouchsafe no apprehensions that their various businesses might be going to rack and ruin during their absence. Of course, I was there in my official capacity; when I "lounge" I am working, and that is one reason why I am so fond of my job. But to come back to the Fire-chief. I hear that he won his hat and hope that he will get a good one. I don't know what a "Pencil-curl" or a "Telescope" hat may be, but I have seen them advertised and feel sure that he would look very saucy in one or the other. It was a pity that the exact route to be adopted by the various appliances was not more clearly indicated as there resulted thc makings of a very pretty little smash at the Belleville Street comer. However, all's well that ends well, and the people of Victoria are to be congratulated on having such an efficient Chief and Brigade, and I think also that the Chief should be congratulated on having a chauffeur who doesn't mind taking chances. The Police Patrol took part in the proceedings and presented a very edifying spectacle on its return, being escorted home by two mounted constables. I was immensely interested at a little incident which occurred last Saturday morning on Bastion Street, and only regret that I did not arrive on the scenes in time to see the start. Just as I got to the corner I saw a small boy lying prostrate and howling on the pavement outside the entrance to the Acme Press, and standing over him in an aggressive manner another boy with a bicycle. To the latter there quickly approached a gentleman of elderly appearance who demanded in no uncertain tones why he had kicked the other when he was down, following up the query with a sounding open-handed smack on his face. The boy grunted out something about what right had the boy got to knock him off his bicycles. But that didn't satisfy the gentleman who proceeded to read him a homily on the British axiom of not hitting a man when he was down. To my sorrow the boy was not suitably impressed and on the gentleman's departure made use of the language of the country whilst conveying to an assembled audience his opinion of the ancestry of his assailant. * * * Now I haven't the slightest doubt but that the first boy thoroughly deserved to be knocked down; it is just as likely as not that he had started the trouble; even if- he hadn't there was not much harm done. But when it came to the tin-British practice of kicking a prostrate foe it was time for someone to interfere. The spirit of fair-play cannot be too strongly impressed on the minds of the youth of thc country; if the Boy Scout Movement did nothing else for the boys of the country it would deserve well of the community. I do not think that the offender in this case could be a member of any of the troops which made so creditable a showing at Beacon Hill last Saturday. Tliere ought to be a lot of good work done this summer by the Scouts, and Victoria is lucky to have so many men who are willing to devote themselves to thc work, and so many boys who appreciate what is being done for them. I only wish ttat the movement had started in the boyhood of Cfri f applause at each successive feat [the rings. Mr. and Mrs. J.

Hav* ■id that, there can be nothing laise for one of the lightest, 1st and cleverest musical les which Victoria has seen. The fact that it played to capacity on two nights is the best testimony to its excellence. When all is said and done, the attractive features of the play were emphasized by Miss Ann Tasker, the most delightful ingenue, and our old friend Oscar Figman, the irrepressible and unique comedian. Not that the other parts were not well played, and on the whole well sung. But these two stood o-ut above all their compeers. Miss Tasker is as vivacious and clever as she is dainty and beautiful; she has a pure, sweet, fresh voice, which she uses as if she enjoyed the singing of every note. Her dancing is in a class by itself and for sinuous, poetical grace is hardly surpassed by any of the ladies who have recently attained such wide notoriety as Terp- sichorean artistes. If I were to say thet Miss Tasker sings with her hands I might be charged with a misapplication of a paradox, but it is never- "Philippe" was one of the cleverest portraitures in the play and was sufficiently handled by Mr. William Cameron, who apart from his other attainments is easily one of the strongest men on thc stage, and as a weight- lifter will yet make his mark. Of course in a vaudeville show weight ligting can hardly be considered out of place, as long as due regard is had to the centre of gravity and the right balance for recovery. He would be a captious critic who would say that on this particular occasion Mr. Cameron was not elevating. The other members of the company, if not entitled to head-lines all did well, and contributed to a success which will ensure crowded houses whenever Madame Sherry pays Victoria a second visit. It is to be regretted that in the temporary adsence of Manager Denham, the very salutary rule against the admission of late-comers during the progress of the play was not adhered to. Dr. Henry Coward and Dr. Charles Harris Conductors of the Musical Festival of the Empire Concerts to be held in the Drill Hall May 17th, 18th, 19th theless true, for whether singing, sitting or dancing her beautiful, artistic hands arc eloquent. Altogether, one can only express the hope that this delightful young actress will not be spoiled by success, for in these days of resurrected prima donnas it ii, something to catch one young and fresh, and if Miss Tasker continues as she has begun, she will not only be a thing of beauty, but a joy for a very long time. I have seen Oscar Figman in many parts, but in none that suited him better than that of "Theophilus Sherry," the millionaire connoisseur of Greek art. He was sprightly, eccentric, incisive and intellectual and some of his touches were simply inimitable. His reading of the motto at the foot of the stairs was a triumph of histrionic art. All his songs were good, but the gem was "Wc are Only Poor Weak Mortals.", which was delivered with exquisite drollery. Miss Cheridah Simpson scored heavily as Catherine, the erstwhile Madame Sherry. She had a difficult port to play as a big, bouncing, rollicking Irishwoman who had married an excitable Frenchman, but her fine natural qualifications of voice and fig- ttre enabled her to carry it through with the greatest success, and she was obviously a prime favourite with tho audience. It is a rule to which there should be no exceptions and experience has demonstrated that it will impose no hardship if rigidly enforced; but if people once get the idea that the management is not really in earnest, it will bc impossible to observe it. Lew Dockstader Lew Dockstader and his 20th Century Minstrels will be the attraction at thc Victoria Theatre, Monday, May 1. Dockstader is undoubtedly th^ most up-to-date and progressive of thc Minstrel managers and hc usually has something new to offer his patrons and it is promised that for the present season he has made no exception to this rule. The comedian claims that his present show is Ministrclsy with a plot and also makes thc statement that it. possesses quite as much of a story as docs the average musical comedy. Hc has even gone so far in making innovations as to do away with the time worn semi-circle for a first class part and presents his company at thc rise of the curtain in what is called "The Possum Hunt Club Revue." This scene depicts thc lawn of the Club House of a swell club organization with thc members seated at tables enjoying a summer evening.

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 W. BLAKEMORE, Editor Short Stories BY BOHEMIAN Every literary critic knows that the most difficult thing in the world to write is a good short story. It is even more difficult than a three-volume novel. As a matter of fact, if one scans the roll of successful novelists who have produced really good work, it will be found that their number far exceeds the number of those who have written really clever short stories. There is a principle involved in this which will be easily recognized, and that is that the art of condensation is infinitely more difficult than the art of expansion. Every newspaper one picks up furnishes an illustration of the ease with which a skilled journalist can pad out half a dozen lines of despatch into a column of more or less acceptable reading matter, but the instances are very few and far between where any type of literary man can compress all the features of even one brief incident into a column of reading matter. And there is the genius of short story writing; to seize one incident and tell all about it briefly, succintly, interestingly and with illumination. The first thing is to catch your incident, and this can only be done by one who has the instinct. A thousand people will stand at a street corner and witness an exciting episode; they will all go home and relate it to their friends, but not one in the thousand • will make it a picturesque, appealing story, and not one in ten thousand, even though he could relate it entertainingly, could run it into cold type without the story losing its flavour. In short the successful short story writer is a genius of a peculiar bent who is rarer than the rarest orchid and infinitely rarer than the genus novelist. Thc trouble with the short story writer, even where he has caught the incident, is to round up the story and make it full, complete and satisfying without allowing it to become scrappy and sketchy. There have been a few such, but even these few have only produced a limited number of really good stories. Of them all, I only know one who during the days of his short story regime never produced a bad one; I refer to Quiller-Couch, who some twenty years ago wrote a series of short stories which are easily the best since Stevenson gave us his incomparable miniatures. Jack London has written a few which will live amid an ocean of trash and piffle. Bart Kennedy promised well a few years ago with his Spanish stories, but the vein seems to have petered out. Aid- rich and Frank Stockton did good work in this line and occasionally even in the wilderness of magazine fiction one comes acrciss a gem, which predicates the future-success and popularity of its author. Before Owen Wister became a novelist, his short stores of Western life had gained him a measure of fame, and the same is true of Robert Barr and of course of men like Cret Harte. Of the very latest writers one hesitates to speak with definiteness because they are still in the making. But I cannot close this brief dissertation without mentioning a short story which I have just read in Young's Magazine for April. It is entitled "A Crystal Flask," and is by Paul Rosenwey, a writer of whom I have not heard before. The story will not appeal to everybody, and a few may misunderstand the moral which is perhaps a reasonable criticism of the story, but it is easily the best I have read for a long time, and goes a long way to satisfy all the requirements of a model short story. I think I can give the plot without spoiling the reading of the story, but I need hardly say that the plot is only a very small part of the story itself, which is full of humour and philosophy, and is written in a good style. It tells of a young couple about to be married, who received a present from their rich uncle. As they were his favourites, they expected a large fortune, instead of which they received a crystal flask filled with water which the eccentric uncle had taken from a magic spring. The water had peculiar properties; as long as the young couple remained faithful to each other the water would continue to be clear as crystal, but at the first departure from the paths of fidelity it would become clouded. Surely a pretty fancy, and one which occasioned considerable amusement to the happy bride and bridegroom. The flask was hidden away as a joke and forgotten. Two years later the husband was called away on an important mission to thc Orient. He could not take his wife, and as he was only to be absent a few months, they finally became reconciled to the separation. At the last moment the husband thought of the crystal flask and determined to play a practical joke on his wife. Breaking the seal he poured away half its contents, filled up the flask with ink, re-corked and restored it to its hiding place. His absence was prolonged. On his return a year later he found everything entirely satisfactory and his greeting so pleas- ureablc that again the flask was forgotten, but after the lapse of a few days he thought of it and determined that the supreme moment had come to tease his wife. Imagine his consternation when on going to the hiding-place and withdrawing the flask he found the contents as clear as crystal. Verb. sap. Literal "What is your last name, my boy?" asked the teacher of the new pupil, a frightened looking youngster of some half dozen years. "Tommy," "Tommy what?" "Tommy Tompkins." "Then Tompkins Is your last name," turning to his record book. "No, sir," came the reply with the air of one accustomed to render literal- ness to inquiring elders. "I don't think so, sir. Tompkins was my name already when I was born, and aunty says they didn't give me the other for a whole month afterward." Willing & Co. Manufacturers of Ladies' and Children's Underwear.

Diminishing a Town One of the most curious census incidents was at Cheltenham, the population of which is just about 50,000, or enough to make it a county borough. If the census showed 50,000 and the change was made the license duties in the town would under the Budget at once jump up some £1,000 a year. Accordingly certain breweries paid the expenses of employes, wives, and children for a week-end holiday, so that the town should be depleted of a number of its usual inhabitants. On the other hand Dover is eager to become a county borough, and the mayor there appealed to citizens to stay at home to help to make up thc 50,000.

ROBT. A. RENWICK, Deputy Minister of Lands. Department of Lands, Victoria, B.C., April 6th, 1911. july 8 New Churches for Winnipeg The most striking feature of the vestry meetings recently held in Winnipeg was the enthusiasm of vestrymen for new buildings. Christ church and All Saints both contemplate $50,- 000 edifices to replace the old buildings which are showing unmistake- able signs of age. Hope Lures Prospectors The lure of gold continues to draw men towards Hope and Steamboat Mountain. Every day prospectors, miners and promoters flock in and out of the little town of Hope. Many go on up the trail towards Steamboat and come back with claims staked sometimes in the snow ancl sometimes on more solid foundations. But at present the men with claims are not talking much; they think they have a good thing and are not giving anything away—until they know what it is worth. Another Condemnation W. H. Sharp, M.P, for Lisgar, lately addressed a meeting of his constituents at Plum Coulee, Man., on the reciprocity pact, which hc strongly condemned, claiming that it would not add a cent to the price of farm products and would open the door for American trusts to prey on Canadian resources. He ended by stating he would not vote for the pact, but if the Conservatives in Lisgar wanted he would not vote against it. After the meeting a private meeting of Mr. • ancl his supporters was held to enable him to hear their views on thc matter, and on a vote being taken VICTORIA LAND DISTRICT District of Coast, Range 2 TAKE notice that James Walsh of Vancouver, B.C., occupation Storekeeper, Intends to apply for permission to purchase the following described lands:— Commencing at a post planted about 60 chains north-east from Millbrook Cove; thence east eighty chains; thence south twenty ehains more or less to shore line; thence south-westerly along shore line about eighty chains; thence north eighty chains more or less to point of commencement, and containing 480 acres more or less.

At the annual meeting of the Noiseless Typewriter Co., held at Middletown, Conn., on April uth, the following directors were elected: Hon. W. Caryl Ely, Buffalo; Col. Jeffrey H. Burland, Montreal; Charles W. Colby, Montreal; Barron G. Collier, New York; Hon. Rolland S. Duell, New York; W. H. Brouse, Toronto; James H. McGraw, New York; Joseph F. Rankine, New York. The enterprise is said to be in a thriving condition, and is fast assuming an active commercial position in the typewriter industry. Looking at the list of directors, it will be seen that the same interests who are connected with the Wm. A. Rogers, F. N. Burt and Carter-Crume companies are also largely interested in the Noiseless Typewriter Company. The Canadian Fairbanks Company, well known throughout Canada as manufacturers of the Fairbanks-Morse engines and Fairbanks scales, have been appointed general agents of the Noiseless Typewriter Co. HUDSON BAY DIVIDEND TO BE RAISED The recent sensational announcement of the result of the Hudson's Bay Company's land sales for the year ended March 31st last, coupled with the subsequent news that it had been decided to raise the price of the company's land by from $2 to $3 per acre all round, have revived speculative interest in the shares. Last year, it will be remembered, the company paid in dividends £4 per £10 share, giving at the present quotation a yield of just $y2 per cent. It would not be surprising if the distribution were this year raised to £5 10s, or even £6 per share, and with the hopeful outlook of the company generally, the shares do not look over-valued even after their recent advance. > SALMON PACKERS' OUTLOOK According to advices received from various coast cities, a labor famine threatens the Alaska salmon canners during the coming season. Agents of the packers have been scouring the Japanese and Chinese quarters of the various coast cities, with but little success, ; and in their desperation have attempted to import a number of Filipino laborers from the Hawaiian Islands. Whether this labor scarcity will influence the British Columbia packers is not known at present, and it is thought by those interested in the industry that enough Orientals can be secured in this port, Victoria and other Canadian cities and towns to handle the season's catch. At Port Townsend the agents of the packers have been exceedingly active in their attempts to induce the Chinese and Japanese to go North for the summer, but so far few of the Orientals have decided to leave the city. In Seattle, according to advices, a number of workers have been secured, but not enough to handle the catch. The attempt of the packers to import Filipinos from the Hawaiian Island sugar plantations has brought down on the master of the steamer Senator, the hand of the law, and caused the skipper to clear from Honolulu in a great hurry. Stringent laws have been passed by the legislators of the island providing for punishment for those who solicit laborers to leave the islands. It is not known at present whether the scarcity of labor will affect the market to any great extent, and the more conservative of the packers are of the opinion that enough men can be securd to handle the catch. DIRECTORS OF BANK OF ENGLAND ARE ELECTED At the General Court held at the Bank of England, Mr. Alfred Clayton Cole, of 64 Portland Place, W., was elected governor, and Mr. Walter Cunliffe, of Messrs.

TEMPLE BUILDING FORT STREET \\& THE WEEK, SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1911. 11 STEAMBOAT MOUNTAIN Mr. F. J. Crossland, who ••ecently arrived in Vancouver from leamboat Mountain, when interviewed by the News-Advertiser, [d some very interesting information to give concerning the recent rid discoveries there. From the amount of work done at present showings Certainly warrant the growing conception of the im- Irtance of the camp and several new strikes have been made dur- \\l the past month, in each case showing more or less visible signs [free gold in the quartz porphyry. He called attention to the false impression that many people |d concerning the difficulties to be encountered in travelling over trail. The conditions of travel are really excellent, and he has |t recently travelled from Steamboat to Hope in one day. It is possible at present, however, to do any prospecting on account of f>w slides, and the great quantity of snow in the mountains and |se conditions will likely continue for another month. There is considerable building activity in the Skagit Valley, two [eig being in the course of erection, and with between five and [hundred strangers in Hope accomodation is at a premium. Mr. Crossland is a miner of some experience. He has been in Ddesia, West Africa and South America, and can speak with Ihority. He feels confident that with proper handling and econ- |cal mining this camp will prove a great success.

He says that there is only j route in, and that is the Hope trail. The talk of trails and wag- roads from Chilliwack should not be entertained for a moment. JIG DIVIDENDS ARE PAID BY MINING CONCERNS [With the first quarter of 1911 it is apparent, from reports made ie Mining World by American mines and works, that the year, bite the present unsatisfactory condition of the metal markets, [prove of unusual profit to holders of certain stocks. |With 96 mines and works contributing, the disbursements for juarter ending March 31 total $21,849,031. iThat the declarations of American mines and metal works are pf a sporadic nature is.evidenced by the fact that the total declaims of these 96 companies, since incorporation, reaches the stu- lous total of $651,261,221, a mighty strong endorsement of the [tableness of mining when conducted as other successful busies are conducted. ■On the combined issued capitalization of these companies— 1,548,289—this is a return equivalent to 107 per cent. SHIPMENTS TO BE INCREASED lit is the intention of the Consolidated Mining & Smelting com- of Canada, Limited, to increase their shipments of ore to the smelter to 900 tons or 950 tons a day. Uthough it may not be necessary to provide a new train, it Imean at least three trips daily, as the ore trains are limited to |/e cars, averaging about thirty tons each. tosslanders will be dehghted with this news, which, with other Is, points to increased prosperity in the camp. It was intimated |me quarters that heavier steel was to be laid up in the mine, -/e are officially informed that this is not contemplated. A. J, NESBITT CONFIRMS THE CEREAL DEAL Ir. A J.

The net profits of the combined companies for the year ending August 31st, 1910, were about $430,000. The officials of both companies estimate that the profits of the consolidated company should, in an average year, be from $350,000 to $400,000, which would leave from 6 to 9 per cent, on the common stock. FEW FAILURES IN CANADA IN THREE MONTHS Commercial suspensions in the Dominion of Canada during the first quarter of 1911 make a notably satisfactory comparison with those of the corresponding period in recent preceding years, numbering only 367, against 426 last year, and 425 in 1909, while the amount of defaulted liabilities aggregated only $2,876,705 against $4,021,584 and $4,814,627, respectively. •Each of the three divisions into which the statement is divided shows marked improvement, and though the number in manufacturing is exactly the same as last year, it compares with 100 two years ago, a decrease of 20. As regards the amount of liabilities, however, in this class, the exhibit is much more favorable, the total, $774,445, showing a marked decrease as compared with the $1,747,225 of last year, or the $1,077,991 of 1909. On the other hand, in the Trading division the conditions are almost entirely reversed, improvement being more pronounced in number than in the amount involved, 281 suspensions, with defaulted indebtedness of $2,083,260, comparing with 339 last year for $2,238,423, and 313 for $2,839,493 in 1909. Failure record figures and every other kind of figures go to show that business is much better in Canada than it is in the States. With a lower tariff, the Americans would now be swamping our markets with their surplus goods. MILL CONSTRUCTION AT PORT MANN The construction of a merchant bar tube mill, the first unit of the big steel works to be established at Port Mann, will be undertaken within three months. With its completion work on blast furnaces and mills capable of turning out 1,000 tons of steel rails and structural steel daily will follow. The first unit will utilize scrap iron and other old material and will cost $700,000. C. P. Taft, brother of the American president, is financially interested in the scheme. RECORD BANK CLEARINGS The Vancouver clearing house returns for the week ending April 13 broke the record, amounting to $11,069,941, which is over half a million dollars above the previous record. The clearings have often topped the ten million mark and up to this week the record was $10,400,000. .For the corresponding week of last year the clearings were $8,018,878, and for the corresponding week of 1909 the figures were $3,797,233. SILK MERGER It is stated on good authority that a merger of Montreal and outside silk mills has been formed, to be known as the Belding, Paul and Corticelli Silk Company. The total issue is probably about $1,- 600,000. A CHANGE OF CONTROL Control of the Nugget Gold Mine on Sheep Creek, West Kootenay, has been purchased by J. T. Hillis and Dr. A. R. Baker and associates of Vancouver. It is the intention of the new management to install a plant capable of handling 100 tons of ore per day. This will consist of a modern stamp mill and cyanide plant. WILL LOWER SEWERS In order to permit of adequate drainage for cellars of buildings on Johnson, Yates and Fort streets, between Vancouver and Cook streets, the city will undertake the work of lowering the present level of the sewers now serving that section. The present sewer is laid at from seven to nine feet below the street level, but this is not deep enough to permit of proper drainage to buidings, which it is confidently expected will be erected within the next few years. As permanent pavements are to be constructed on these streets, the work of lowering the existing sewers will be undertaken at once, so that it will not be necessary to later carry out this work after the pavements have been laid. The cost of the work is estimated at $1,000, and will be charged to sewer maintenance. Office Phone 1092 Res. Phone 1372 ARE YOU INTERESTED IN NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA LANDS?

PERRY'S ACHIEVEMENT No better endorsement of the wisdom shown by the Provincial Government in building the Mill Bay road as a joint in thc main trunk system of Vancouver Island can possibly be shown than the remarkable performance of Mr. B. J. Perry on Wednesday last, when in his 30-horsepower 4-cylinder Packard motor, driven by Louis Morris, he made the trip from Victoria to Duncan's in one hour and thirty-six minutes. The Packard machine made the return journey in one hour and thirty-five minutes, about twenty-five minutes less than the schedule time of the E. & N. service, and good hill climber as this type of machine has proved itself to be, it would be utterly impossible to make this trip, which covers one of the finest scenic panoramas in the world, had not the new Mill Bay road been constructed so as to avoid any except average grades. Yours truly, PRACTICAL.

ROBERT A. RENWICK, Deputy Minister of Lands Lands Department, Victoria, B.C., 9th March, 1911. may 6 NOTICE A Word to the Wise The Arnprior, Ont., Local Option Committee, in a statement published in the newspapers of that town a fortnight ago, issued the following warning to license-holders, which is not without point even to those in "the trade" in this far western province. It has in it very much that is in the nature of the "word to the wise:" "It now remains for the license holders to decide upon their future course. Had the license law been properly observed in all probability there would have been no contest. And it may be well to remind them that, though Local Option is out of the way for three years, the matter of reduction of licenses is always to the fore. We have been given to understand that amongst the license holders are some who observe the law. If they wish to avoid trouble it is for them to sec that the others also observe it. They can save the situation if they choose to do so—for, to give them thc credit to which they are entitled—on election day drunkenness was but little in evidence on the streets up to the closing of the polls. If they are satisfied to live within the law the matter will probably rest where it now does. But if, on the other hand, the law is to be violated, more particularly if there is to be a continuance of the selling of liquor to drunken men and to minors, a new movement will be started. That movement will be the reduction of licenses." Just as Good ai Ever An old physician was noted for his brusque manner and old-fashioned methods. A lady called him in to treat her baby, who was slightly ailing. The doctor prescribed castor oil. "But, doctor," protested the young mother, "caster oil Is such an old-fashioned remedy." "Madam," replied the doctor, "babies are old-fashioned things."—Judge's Library.

Further notice is hereby given that all persons who have pending applications to purchase lands under the provisions of sections 34 or 36 of the "Land Act" and who are not willing to complete such purchases under the prices fixed by the aforesaid regulation shall be at liberty to withdraw such applications and receive refund of the moneys deposited on account of such applications.

THE WEEK, SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1911. 15 IMUSIC AND THE STAGE1 (Continued from Page 3) jshortly after the rise of the curtain and becomes the butt of the jokes of the dandy colored folk, and is induced finally by the president of the club to drink a certain beverage called Dream Water under the promise that if he does so all his dreams will pome true. The curtain goes down this act as the comedian drifts off Into slumberland amid the singing of popular songs by the other members If the company. The second part of [he show instead of consisting of time Ivorn vaudeville is a continuation of lhe first part and the whole is fin- Illy brought to a conclusion in a logi- lal manner. Of course, many of the features of a minstrel show are refined and Dockstader will have many lew jokes to tell and has several Jilking songs to offer his patrons. k will be remembered that in.all of lie Dockstader entertainments, the Jjmedian strives to take advantage of lie latest inventions. At one time then it was a novelty he made his litrance in an automobile, then it was li airship, and now he has one of fe latest types of aeroplanes in which sails over the heads of the aud- Ince and from which he delivers his |onologue. During the progress of show, several travesties are in- aduced, one of them being on the |mic opera, "Pinafore." The Allen Players iMany Victoria theatre-goers will lnember the excellent stock com- Iny which paid a protracted visit portray "Katisha," and has successfully played that part many times in England. "Yum Yum," by Miss Ruth Cordingly, "Pitti Sing," by Miss Luvia Ford and "Peep Bo" by Miss May Chester, the trio of Three Little Maids. Mr. Gavin Davis will sing the tenor role "Nanki Poo." Mr. George Taschereau the baritone "Pooh Bah." George Chaffery the bass "Pish Tush," and Carl Kenning the titl erole, "The Mikado." Alick Lauder When Alick Lauder, the famous comedian and his company come to Vicoria on May 8th, there is no question but that they will be greeted by one of the largest audiences that ever assembled in the city. Alick Lauder is not working on the fame of his world-renowned brother, Harry, for in the Old Country, the people are quite as enthusiastic over the young brother as they are over Harry. Alick has been singing in all the principle music halls in Europe, and has met with ovations in each and every appearance. The only disadvantage Alick has compared with Harry, is the fact that the latter has the reputation. When this celebrated comedian comes to Victoria, he will no doubt be given a right royal welcome by his fellow countrymen, as well as the people of all nationalities. The Lily "The Lily," David Belasco's dramatic sensation of last season, will be the attraction at the Victoria Theatre soon, from Mr. Belasco's own theatre, New York, with Nance O'Neil, Charles Cartwright and the famous Belasco company. A Big Advertisement for Canadian Towns Not in the hiscory of art is there any record of the realization of such a magnificent conception as the Musical Festival of Empire which is about to be carried out by the famous Sheffield Choir. To get together an organization of 200 of the picked singers of Great Britain, and to take them on a six months' tour of the Empire to give their brethren beyond the seas an opportunity of hearing absolutely the best choral singing that the Empire can produce, is an undertaking that is Imperialistic in the truest sense of that term. In cementing the bonds of Empire, as well as in fostering the growth in new communities of one of the noblest of the fine arts, it is ar. enterprise that is bound to have far-reaching results. But there is another side to this enterprise which must not be overlooked. This great choir of 200 individuals, composed of men and women of the highest social, business and professional rank, will form the greatest deputation that England has ever sent around her Empire, and it goes without saying that the members will not only give keen enjoyment to those fortunate enough to attend their performances, but will themselves be spying out the land and its opportunities for themselves and for hosts of relatives and friends at home. They will have much to tell about the places they visit when they get home, and many who are thinking of going abroad for tours or for permanent settlement, will seek their advice. s§ *£__£__** !^<^&Ci - -\\ ' - #l^*» r_n If '«ik_ _______ ._\\\\\\_\\r_ H^rfr ^^-w^B 9 _Wd ppyiiifiP __ JK \\ J -• *£__%$ "*_____ fMij f m V 1 ■■-■- '•> wi mL "'!-W f*§ I ' ll ■ '• w ■ ft^if- * ^ * ■k y 1 * [*________, ?j # _W ____+'____ ___fMU____\\ vlji./l. \\ % Hh£& " ** *®t~m T__Ppl v_ _^^m* j^i /S-n H w_W'fifj-.m ■_ i THE "THREE LITTLE MAIDS" |ss Luvia Ford, Miss Ruth Cordingly and Miss May Chester, appearing in "The.

Madame Ada Bennett will "The Lily" is a play in four acts adapated from the French of Pierre Wolff and Gaston Leroux, by Mr. Belasco, and is said to be a gem of dramatic literature that will endure for many years as it is a play of ideas as well as drama. The scenic embellishments are pronounced to be upon the same scale of stability and effectiveness that characterizes all of Mr. Belasco's presentations. Albert Chevalier Albert Chevalier will open his first tour of Western Canada at the Walker Theatre, Winnipeg, on May 22nd. Chevalier needs no introduction to the public. His name and character creations are household words. Who does not know and love the "Future Mrs. 'Awkins," "My Old Dutch," "The Little Nipper," and scores of others too numerous to mention. Foremost among English-speaking character actors, incomparable as a delineator of coster and cockney types, Chevalier occupies a position peculiarly and positively his own and without parallel on the stage. Chevalier's con-! cert repertoire will embrace a number of new impersonations and will, ofl course, include the old favourites which Jiis art has made world famous. Chevalier's Canadian tour is limited to four weeks owing to his European engagements. Further, it is certain that their letters home detailing their experiences will be largely published in the daily press of the country, for Great Britain is keenly interested in this great Empire tour. All these considerations make it important that when the choir visits Victoria in May the members should be enabled to get a good impression nf thc place, of the prosoeritv of its inhabitants, and of the desirability of Victoria as a place in which to live. To those communities who rise to their opportunities the visit of the Sheffield Choir is going'to mean the biggest advertisement it has ever received.

Stealing it in this way, that hc would take for instance a half ton or a ton of coal out to an order and he would tell the people to whom the order was directed that he was one or two sacks short, but he would leave it at another time, and he would sell these one or two sacks, and some time after make it up. I interviewed a woman, and she told me that Lehman had delivered half a ton of coal and after putting it in her coal bin, he asked her if she would buy another sack, and he said that thc driver always got the last sack. She gave evidence to that effect. Afterwards interviewed the driver who was sa to be continually with Lehman, ar 1 asked him if he had been with hi when he left any extra sacks of co over what he was to deliver. i would not say a word. Q. Where did that conversati( take place? A. At Kirk's factory. Q. What happened then? A.

Q. Who was present? A. Mr. Kirk, junior. Q. What was the reason tha| took him in charge? A. I had every reason to bj that he was an accomplice of man's and that he knew whcrl wood was sold.

In the centre of each side there was a diamond shaped piece of antique embroidery. The handle was of braided ribbons in the colors of the needlework and they were broken irregularly with ribbon roses. Another bag of similar shapes was made of beautifully beaded and embroidered satin with big ornaments in bead work at each corner. Cerise alone is the touch of color to be put on black hats, on blue gowns, on white serge suits, and it is to be widely used for separate blouses. It is thc one tone of red that fewest women can wear, and yet it is the tone that has been chosen by the designers to outrank all others. Right here, hefore I forget it, it would be well to tell you how amazingly fashionable these cerise satin blouses will be. Last Autumn they were brought out in Paris by two or three of the famous tailors in combination with coat suits of black camel's hair and dark blue serge. Very few Americans adopted the idea. They considered it a shocking combination; this was because they were drilled into the idea of the one-color scheme from neck to heel and the violent contrast of the cerise blouse against the blue skirt was not according to their acquired taste. This Spring the combination has been again brought out, and it promises to be more popular. The Winter has taught us much about, the use of violent colors, and we are not so shocked at the mere combination of cerise with something dark. There is an extremely good dark blue serge model that carries a blouse of cerise satin that may be followed by a number of persons. The skirt is conveniently narrow, with a swinging box plait below the knees. The coat is the square, short, sacklike garment that we will wear the next six months, if not longer. It is single- breasted, fastened with bleu bone buttons, has small sleeves without cuffs, fastened with link buttons at wrist, and has a turn over collar of ecru filet lace. The bodice is cut on the kimono pattern, with small, tight sleeves that reach to the elbow, and a V-shaped opening in front. The edges are finished with a bias binding of the material, and the guimpe is of ecru dotted point d'esprit. * * * The little Chantilly jacket lined with colored chiffon is again a possibility. Girls who are handy with the needle can turn out any number of such little garments in bolero, fichu or scarf style, which will do much for simple costumes, once summer is here. For the printed foulards, plain silk coats of whimsical shape are going to be. worn and also little garments of chiffon or lace made solely for effect and without a thought of warmth. Shoppers cannot do better than watch these little garments, as they will continue to be opened up in their department from now until summer calls a halt of the season. It is the trimming counters which have the choicest displays among the garnishments which they always keep. * * * A few freakish developments and any number of suggestions for making the new fashions practical in the spring and summer's wardrobe are what most women got out of the formal openings of Paris fashions this year. One of the freaks appeared in the afternoon or evening gowns, the skirts of which were fully five inches from the floor, while trains dragged on behind them. The trains were are adjustable kind, of course, and were narrow and square. Novelties were as thick as the foliage of the parks will soon be. The hat with an adjustable crown was one of the wonders. The crown, usually of flowers, could be removed and be replaced with one to suit the costume by a hand's turn. Parasols with their trimmings inside were another surprise. Some of this order had petal arrangements that opened up with the shade into something like flowers with bows and ends. Odd veils were traced with floral vines in graduated chenille clots. Some of the lingerie collars had burnous hood effects instead of the sailor shapes. The newest ostrich plume is long, uncurled and wired to stand out at any angle wanted of it. Next in novelty to it is the camel's back plume with a double curvature of its stem that reminds one of the traditional hump. The cuts used on this page are furnished by Messrs.

We came to a bit of the road where two cross roads met, and a flock of sheep was coming out of one of them. My husband stretched out his hand and pinched me so cruelly that I screamed aloud.

EDITORIAL (Continued from Page 1) L that Victoria has heard the last of the !New Grand Theatre Sunday Afternoon Lectures on Sex Hygiene and kindred subjects. After all, they are but a thin cloak for the publication of details of the seamy side of life with which the vast majority of people have little or no acquaintance. word, and he goes to the Coronation with the full confidence of British Columbians of every party and creed in his ability to represent them "well and fitly" on a supremo historic occasion. This is as it should be, for however diverse our political interests the National and Imperial interests of all British Columbians are identical. with room for flowers, fruit, kitchen-garden and chicken-run. The call for "the Simple Life" is no idle cry. People are yearning for it more and more, and within a year the hinterland of Victoria will be open and accessible to thousands who are only too eager to put it to the test. LOYAL AND PATRIOTIC The magnificent meeting held in the Victoria Theatre on Friday night sounded a note of loyalty to the British Throne whicli will re-echo in every part of the Empire. The address to His Majesty the King is probably one of the briefest whicli he will receive, but it is expressive in the highest degree of the true loyal feeling of the people of Britisli Columbia. The graceful reference to his illustrious Con- Bort in its concluding sentence will find a response in every heart. The address to Premier McBride is unique in many respects. The admirable example he set on the occasion of the visit of Sir Wilfrid Laurier has been followed in the present, instance, when the leaders of both local political organizations joined hands in moving the address. There is hope for a country whicli, in spite of grotesque cartoons, can bury all political differences, and rise to the requirements of a great occasion. The Hon. Eichard McBride is a far bigger man as Premier of Britisli Columbia than as leader of a Conservative Government; he has shown himself big enough to be a Canadian first and a politician second. But above all he is a British Imperialist in the best sense of the THE B. C. E. R. IN SAANICH The Week has frequently commented on the vast importance of the extension of the B. C. E. R. in the Saanich Peninsula, and therefore views with special gratification the commencing of operations for clearing the right of way. The first camp was established near the Burnside Eoad on Monday last; the work of clearing was begun the next day and will continue without cessation until the right of way has been established from Victoria to Deep Cove. It is expected that this preliminary work of clearing will occupy about six months, and that another six or eight will suffice to grade and lay track, so that some time during the summer of 1912 there will be a regular car service throughout the district, traversed. Many things must result from this, the most important of which undoubtedly is increased cultivation of land. But in addition the Saanich Peninsula is destined to become an ideal place for country homes, and the extensive business transacted in lots during the last two months indicate how highly Victorians appreciate the opportunity offered to establish a home amid the most delightful scenery, and under the most favourable conditions. It is to be hoped that all lots well out in the country will be large enough to admit of a real country home ON A JOURNEY Mr. A. J. Brace has gone on a journey. Before going he forgot to leave the apology which the daily and weekly press concurred in demanding. The Eev. T. E. Holling has not been heard from, so the surmise of The Week is correct, that neither of these gentlemen would realise their obligation to the public. Mr. E. T. Elliott wrote a remarkable letter to The Vietoria Times on Saturday last, in which, despite his admitted legal acumen, he failed to touch the point at issue, which was WHY HE, AS SOLICITOE FOE ME. BEACE, PUT EOEWAED AN AFFIDAVIT DEALING WITH AN INCIDENT WHICH OCCURRED THREE WEEKS AFTER THE PUBLICATION OF ME. BEACE'S STATEMENT TO THE CITIZEN. Even the lay mind is able to grasp the fact that what happened at the Henderson house on the last week in January, or the first in February, could not have formed the basis of a statement which Mr. Brace made in the columns of The Citizen on the twelfth of January. If Mr. Elliott had confined his attention to this point, and explained it satisfactorily, his letter would have been much more effective. As it is the public is still without an explanation of a circumstance which is damnatory, and which places Mr. Brace in a worse position than lie was before, that of having made an attempt to bolster up an untenable position with a fraudulent representation. THE SHEFFIELD CHOIR It is to be hoped that the Sheffield C will receive at least as hearty a welc in Victoria as it has been accorded where. The Choir is easily one or finest singing aggregations in the w and has been acclaimed as an "Emp Choir. Its claims are based not onlj its musical excellence but on the fact it is a patriotic organization, promo the interests of the Empire, and arou an Imperial sentiment pretty much in same way as the Coldstream Guards ten years ago. Other cities have giver organization an official welcome, and tended to them some substantial civic pitality. A movement of this kind w be popular in Victoria, and would Ix dorsed by all who love the Songs of Empire—and who does not. FAIR PLAY A week ago Mr. J. A.
