No. 37 Ninth Year THE WEEK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 191 One Dollar Per Annum It Is Her Own Soul That 66 99 Canada Risks To-day "Once that soul is pawned- for any consideration, Canada must inevitably conform to the commercial, legal, financial, social, and ethical standards of the United States," says Rudyard Kipling. By Special Cable from the Special Correspondent to the Montreal Star \ LONDON, Sept. 7—Mr. Rudyard Kipling sends the following message to the Canadian people through the Montreal Star:; Batemans, Burwash, Sussex, England, September 6th "To the Editor of the Montreal Star: "I do not understand how nine million people can enter into such arrangements as are proposed with ninety million strangers on an open frontier of four thousand miles, and at the same time preserve their national integrity. Ten to one is too heavy odds. No single Canadian would accept such odds in any private matter that was as vital to him personally as this issue is to the nation. "It is her.own soul that Canada risks today. Once that soul is pawned for any consideration, Canada must inevitably conform to the commercial, legal, financial social and ethical standards which will be imposed upon her by the sheer admitted weight of United States. "She might, for example, be compelled later on to admit reciprocity in the murder rate of the United States, which at present, I believe, is something over one hundred and fifty per million per annum. "If these proposals had been made a generation ago, or if the Dominion were to-day poor, depressed, and without hope, one would perhaps understand their being discussed; but Canada is none of these things. She is a nation, and as the lives of nations are reckoned, will ere long be among the great nations. "Why, then, when she has made herself what she is, should she throw the enormous gifts of her inheritance and her future into the hands of a people, who by their haste and waste, have so dissipated their own resources that even before national middle age they are driven to seek virgin fields for cheaper food and living? "Whatever the United States may gain, and I presume that the United States' proposals are not wholly altruistic, I see nothing for Canada in reciprocity except a little ready money which she does not need, and a very long repentance.—Rudyard Kipling" The Song of the Sons One from the ends of the earth—gifts at an open door— Treason has much, but we, Mother, thy sons have more!

RUDYARD KIPLING !:,!,/y,-,!l!'-!.:.■ ir.'Hin*: r*i.M' THE WEEK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1911 STREET PAVING—The attention of the public is again directed to the important subject of street paving. It will hardly be disputed that at the moment this is by far the most important item of public works under way. Its extent and the expenditure involved cause it to overshadow all pther works. '!■ The Week has had occasion beforetime to complain of the inspection. There is a case on Fort Street where through lax supervision only five inches of vertical height was left in which to put eight inches of paving material. The effect of this was to save the contractors three-eighths of the most expensive portion of the work. This aspect of the case has been emphasized during the present week by the action of the Chief Inspector who asked that his work should be divided. There is undoubtedly plenty of room for two inspectors; one to supervise the grading, the other the paving. But the point is that there is more than a little reason to doubt whether the inspection up to date has been as thorough in all departments as it should have been. Once a street is paved any flaw underneath the surface is covered up and its weakness will not develop until later. Apart, however, from the question of structure The Week wishes to call attention to the quality and ^composition of the asphalt being used by the Canadian Mineral Rubber Company. There are two factors which chiefly determine the quality of asphalt for paving purposes ; the one is the actual grade of the asphaltum used and the other the percentage of carbonate. With reference to the letter all English authorities are agreed that the percentage should not exceed three or four. A larger proportion causes the asphalt to lose its elasticity and adhesiveness and to crumble. This condition has been evidenced on several occasions during the progress of paving in Victoria, where small quantities have had to be taken out and relaid, for instance, at the lower end •of Cook Street and on St. Charles Street. An examination of the portions removed show that it is "crumbling" and non-adhesive through an over percentage of carbonate. The Week is informed that the average percentage of carbonate in asphalt as laid by the Canadian Mineral Rubber Company is much higher than three or four per cent., in some cases ten or fifteen. The other point, as to the quality of the asphaltum is one that should receive careful attention. It is alleged that the Canadian Mineral Rubber Company is purchasing its sorcalled asphaltum from the B. C. Refining Company of Vancouver, which is simply a refiner of crude Californian coal oil. The Week is informed by a very high authority that this product has been condemned in Vancouver for paving purposes and that it bears no comparison whatever to the well-known asphaltum of Trinidad, which is the standard for paving purposes. These are matters well worth the attention of the City Engineer and the Council and in view of the manner in which the Council has conducted the business of the city with the Canadian Mineral Rubber Company the matter cannot be investigated too soon. It is doubtful whether it is possible to live up to the latest contract ancl comply faithfully with every requirement of the specification at the contract price. If not, the sooner the ratepayers know it the better. It will be poor satisfaction to get a cheap job in which the con-- tractors have to make their profit out of variations in the specifications. EX-CAPTAIN SEARS—The Report of the Special Commission appointed by the Dominion Government to enquire into the loss of the "Iroquois" has been published and no one will doubt that the Court over which Mr. Justice Martin presided so ably, has done substantial justice to all concerned. Captain Sears has been deprived of his certificate for failing to perform his duty in either personally making a more determined effort to rescue the people in the water or alternatively in staying by the wreck to the last, and sending the mate to their assistance. Also for not having ordered any alteration after discovering the negligent and improper manner in which the cargo had been stowed, and finally for allowing the boats to leave the wreck in a damaged and unseaworthy condition. These .are the very points seized upon by the press and the public at the time pf the disaster, and although Captain Sears escaped criminal punishment, he must realise that he was extremely lucky in doing so in view of the finding of the investigating Commission. It is further satisfactory to read the condemnation of the ' all along, anjd,proves cc--ncii|sively tliat the law of supply and demand, in respect to labour only operates upon that margin of the wage which is a surplus'above the cost of living, but that the actual standard is determined by the cost of living. With wages, as with every other marketable commodity the first charge is the actual cost of production and the cost of producing labour is determined by the cost, of living. Apart altogether from political considerations the article in question is invaluable at the present time and should be carefully studied by every wage-earner. DO IT IN VICTORIA — Everybody is so thoroughly ashamed of the fraud perpetrated on the citizens of Victoria that perhaps the' least said, is soonest mended. The Mayor pursued a very proper course in stopping the exhibition in the middle of the week. The only regret is that a more careful investigation was not made before the so-called carnival Was sanctioned. The whole thing was a fraud from beginning to end and the least that can be said is that the authorities and the citizens were imposed upon. Just what the imposition will cost the city in cold cash flUiJLA POORLY BALANCED-Ah Wilf Spills Things manner in which Inspector Kinghorn performed, or neglected to perform, his duties; undoubtedly he has proved himself to be unfitted for his position, and in the interests of the public safety should be dismissed. The outcome of this and the "Sechelt" enquiry cannot fail to be satisfactory, since it condemns the use of vessels of the type of the "Iroquois" and the "Sechelt" in our inland waters, and also emphasizes the important matter of more careful and competent inspection. There cannot be a doubt that the expert finding of such a tribunal will be accepted and acted upon by the Government. COST OF LIVING —The Week wishes to direct attention to a very important article appearing on page 12 of current issue on the relation of the cost of living to wages. The article was written specially for The Week by a Professor of Economics of Oxford University, who recently spent a few days in Victoria. The writer was a pupil of Professor Jevons, undoubtedly one of the highest living authorities on Economics. In England he is a Liberal and a Free Trader. The article is without any political bias whatever; indeed it could not be otherwise coming from such a man. It was written by request, for the sole purpose of elucidating the relation between the cost of living and wages, and does so in a remarkably lucid and effective manner. Those of our readers who will take the trouble to peruse the article will see that it practically endorses the stand which' Ther Week has- taken on this subject remains to be seen and can only be revealed by a careful examination of the accounts, but it has cost a good deal in loss of reputation. Even if the promoters had lived up to their promises it is doubtful whether the city would have benefited, because the class of trippers who would have been attracted by such cheap-jack methods are those who spend little or no money in the town and bring their lunch in a basket. The whole project was a grafting scheme of the worst kind and can never be repeated in Victoria. If our cousins across the Line have any good ideas to offer they will always receive fair consideration, but it is quite obvious that Reciprocity in "potlatches" and "carnivals" would not be a popular move. FRANCE AND GERMANY—The Canadian papers, no doubt owing to the exigencies of an electoral campaign, have hot dealt in an adequate manner with the Franco-German emeute. Instead of keeping the public posted with all the available details of the negotiations pending between the two governments, they have contented themselves with more or less disquieting references and vague predictions. It is doubtful if there has been a crisis or anything approaching one. The disquiet which existed in the public mind was due to the fact that a misunderstanding existed between the two countries which might possibly precipitate a crisis. To one not versed in diplomatic negotiation it would appear fhafr^here*was*no reasonable; ground for alarm and that neither had shown a disposition to provoke hi ties, but the public is never fully equi to form a judgment oh the possible of international differences, and atj times the money market is at once thel sensitive and reliable barometer. Thf turbing elements have been the heavy tuations in the stock market and thej withdrawals of money from Germany! latest advices would indicate an ami settlement which will be due largely firm stand taken by the British Govern supported by both political parties. THE SAANICH LINE—The of the B. C. Electric Compal letting the contract for thei eighteen miles of the Saanich ExtJ removes all doubt as to the early conl tion of what has been wanted for J years past. It is the fair fulfilment promise made by the resident manaa the company when the city conclude Jordan River Agreement and will hal effect of making the whole of the SJ Peninsula what Nature intended it tq the hinterland of Victoria.

Madame Ida was ably assisted by Miss s Shrapnel, who played the obligato to the former song Mr. Bynn Alden, Miss Ora Wolf, Miss Margaret Doyle, Mr. Fred Horn. The scenery and properties will be all western in tone, and a complete and effective performance will be given. The Empress Theatre The best turn in a somewhat mediocre bill this week is that contributed by Rice & Cady, two German comedians who excel in cheap wit and eccentricity of costume, the net result being an amusing ten minutes which leaves the audience in high good humour. Weston' & Lynch present a novelty in the shape of a one- act farce entitled "The Fainting Girl," which affords the male member of the a coupon on which to register a guess at the figures and the lucky winner will be the recipient of $50.00. A powerful film has been one produced by Pathe Freres, entitled "Father and Son," whilst the Selig Company have been amusing the crowds with a comedy whereof the name is "Willie." Sousa and His Band John Philip Sousa composed a new march during the tour of his band in Australia and he dedicated it to the commonwealth.

Ida Barr made a big hit with her congs and has been responding to repeated encores. A dancing turn and a musical act neither of which make any claim to distinction complete the programme. Romano's Theatre The Tharihauser Company have been responsible for a feature film this week which represents a beautiful story, if not a Shakespearean one, entitled "Romeo and Juliet." The general trend of the story is based on the Bard's play and is well staged. Other attractions have been "The Temptation," a picture based on a short story by a well-known author and a series of picturesque views taken in Colorado. The Majestic Theatre The Majestic Theatre on Yates Street is now open continuously from one o'clock in the afternoon till eleven o'clock at night, fact whicii has been much appreciated by those who have a spare hour to while away before the dinner hour. There would seem to be a little less comedy offering in moving-picture houses lately, and in consequence "The Return of Widow Pogson's Husband," a smart comedy, proved most acceptable. The Crystal Theatre Great interest is being entertained with regard to the guessing compe-' tition as to the majority in the coming election. The purchaser of three tickets at the Crystal is entitled to couver on their return from a tour of the world. Mr. Sousa is frequently asked which is his favorite composition and his reply is invariably the same. "I like all of them," he declares with quiet decision. The House Next Door If Christianity and Judaism took the commandment "Love Thy Neighbour as Thyself," and contented themselves with interpreting the word "neighbour" in a somewhat limited way, by applying it to the one who lives in "The House Next Door" then the sentiment of race hatred around which this beautiful entertaining and morally educating comedy has been woven would be a thing of the past. It could no longer be the mainspring of a modern play. But alas, this is not the case and racial prejudice above all — of Gentile against the Jew—is a sad but real fact in life. Therefore, both Christian and Jew should be thankful for an opportunity to witness a performance of "The House Next Door." It is a play that on the whole should prove an efficient force on behalf of sympathy and Good will between Christian and Jew. Both in seeing it will derive much pleasure and cannot possibly escape moral profit. While it aims merely to entertain it incidentally inculcates mutual understanding and amity between the two. The play as given at the Gaiety Theatre in New York city will be seen at Victoria Theatre Thursday, September 21st.

Written Specially for the Week by Gilbert Malcolm Sproat (Continued from Sept. 9th) But if, as said, above (that is, in your last issue), a little caution, on the part of biographers, in valuing •the testimony of neighbours, is desirable,—on the other hand, owing to the inherent complexity of the subject, rapid characterisation of an individual, by purely outside observers, is seldom informative. Inapt similes and extravagant epithets leave the personage still in the position of a stranger. For instance, John Morley, famous in literature and statesmanship (now Lord Morley of Blackburn), after being at the White House, in Washington City, for a few days, some years ago, said, or was reported to have said, "I have seen two tremendous works of Nature in America; one is Niagara Falls, and the other is the President of the United States," (Roosevelt). This interested me by recalling, in my own experience, before coming here in i860, my vague impression, as the result of inquiries, in England, about this part of the Empire, that . its leading features were the Rocky Mountains, James Douglas, and the Pacific Ocean. Needless to say, that this incongruous collection was not adopted by people here, nor by their neighbours in Oregon; nevertheless, as a fact, ample justice was awarded, reciprocally, to eminent men on both sides of the International line, after the bitterness of putting the Treaty of 1846 in force was more or less soothed by Time. Among our men, Dr. J°'— " <• Laughlin (who had embraced American citizenship) came to be spoken of as the "Father" of the new Oregon. James Douglas, a true Briton1 of Britons, received equal appreciation, though he had been only second in command under McLaughlin, in the Prc-Treaty period. (There was a Board of Management at Fort Vancouver, of which, at one time, additionally to the above named, the "canny" Dr. Tolmie, and the genial "Daddy" Work, well known to old Victorians, were respected members). One of the later Oregonians (Jesse Applegate, I think) in describing the qualities of Douglas, added, as to his personal carriage, that he left, on some interviewers, the impression of a personage who might be seven feet high in stature. That would have overtopped, by nearly half a foot, the magnificent Virginian, General Win- field Scott (diplomatic visitor here at the time of the San Juan difficulty, 1859), whom Sydney Smith, seeing him in London, described as a "Walking Cathedral." Memorable, indeed, as some old "busters" of 181.9 have told me, was it, to follow with the eye, such specimens of manhood as Scott, Douglas, and Harney, slowly striding in Government street, typical sons of Tartaros and Ge, in the Greek, or as described in the more familiar tongue-clicking lingo of the observers,—"delate hy-as se-ahms": Thought I, from the description, not knowing much English then, they Viicht a' bin Gallowa men, the haill three." In fact, James Douglas' height was six feet two inches. He was large boned, but not what is called "bony"; erect, square-built and muscular—hair in youth, black, though, in middle age when I knew him, "Du" "glas," or "dark-grey." All noticed his fine eyes, very dark brown with slumbering lustre, also, his rhythmic, stately walk. I could not conceive Douglas "running" in any circumstances, but the late John Tod of Oak Bay, who knew him in 1825, in new Caledonia, told me that, though not speedy, he, then, like other 22-year- old youths, could "get' a good move on," if necessary. A little reminiscence of my own, after Douglas had retired from official life, shows the effect of his unstinted bearing on a roomful of rather critical observers. Breakfasting, on one occasion, at the Westminster Palace Hotel, London, frequented by many persons of distinction, with Isaac Butt, M.P. (the Irish Home Rule pioneer-leader), my back to the main entrance, I became subconscious—as men, even when busy over their plates, occasionally will—that something unusual was happening, many indeed, looking fixedly towards the door. The attraction was Sir James, who had arrived in London the night before, coming in for breakfast in his quiet, natural way, as he would have done at home. But tell us more of his "manner," says the impatient reader, "manner," which does not go, necessarily, with one's "appearance," but is an invisible something, at its very best, not noticeable at all, either in cottage or mansion! To say true, a few of us youngsters, perhaps poor judges, opined that the good governor's manner, occasionally, was just a little bit pompous. Being in those days wickeder than now, I had repute for "offering an apple" to a supposed visitor, with the correct gubernatorial manner and phraseology. A better judgment, no doubt, however, was that of Lord Dufferin, when here in 1876, "Douglas' manner is exquisite," exclaimed Dufferin in surprise. Where can he have got it?" "Natural in him is it," was the reply, "the manner of a self-poised, grave, kindly man, possibly as natural to him as his breathing, and, similarly, helped by exercise." (I noticed in Duffer- in's own conversation, rather a fondness for superlatives, but anyway, he must have meant, by the term "exquisite," something very good). He seemed interested in my statement that, as the Indians were betetr mannered than the English, and, of course, the Scots (I said nothing of the Irish), frank intercourse with the higher class of natives had an educational advantage in that respect. A story-fragment, which, perhaps, the reader, like myself, may prefer to a whole page of exposition, is the late Joseph Despard Pemberton's account 1" me of his first interview with Douglas—(in 1851, I think)—in order to present his letter of introduction as a new arrival: "Sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr. Pemberton. A little matter of discipline. Take a seat, Mr. Pemberton." He had been pummelilng a French Canadian labourer in the yard of the "Fort," as the courtly George Washington used to thrash poachers on his lands at Mount Vernon, yet, said Pemberton to me, in telling the story:—"Douglas' manner might have suggested that of a British Foreign Secretary, in conference with an Ambassador, instead of the Company's coatless Chief Factor, receiving a letter to introduce a new surveyor." Postcript am only offering a few notes on personality, but I will state, next week, the probable answer of an ordinary Scot to her question, as far as memory serves, being here away from books, and, anyway, too lazy to consult them. That reminds me—but "no," the foot of the page is reached, which is lucky for one who has less hold of his words than of a wet eel by the tail. ii Sotto Voce The Week's Rumours and Humours (By "The Gadfly") 99 That neither of the daily papers recognises the Socialist candidate, who, however, is a good man.

Beware the Ides of March, 1911 (Anon) The prophetic utterance which applied to Caesar and became fact on 14th March B. C. 44, might well be taken as timely warning by ourselves. The historic parallel loses none of its force simply because what was then intended as a warning to an in dividual now seems to present food for reflection to our Empire, even to nations. In the eras of nations who can tell what a single morrow may have in store for individuals or how soon that morrow may dawn. Six months ago in England private family reasons called the premier away from the House of Commons just when that community commenced its general debate which formed the prelude to the discussion on the Annual Army and Navy Estimates; the duties of acting premier fell on Sir Edward Grey, who woke up the country with a very pointed speech. He talked of "bleeding to death in time of peace"; he paid the American President a great compliment in agreeing with him on a subject of a treaty which would be of far greater advantage to the United States than to ourselves. The press, judging by head-lines alone gave many people the idea that Mr. Balfour, still leading tlle Opposition, agreed with Sir Edward Grey, but when one came to analyse matters one soon found that Mr. Balfour's sympathy amounted to about one ounce in the pound. All were for peace, but all were not for peace at any price; all were for its maintenance, but probably none were for its continuance on the same lines as the writer whose opinion it was that there "never was a holy war nor a disgraceful peace." Just six weeks before the time above mentioned Mr. Haldane, (not yet then a peer) the War Minister, said in a speech at Portsmouth that he regarded the Foreign Secretary as the real Commander in Chief of the Forces; he based his opinion on the fact that the Foreign Secretary (Sir Edward Grey) was the person who knew better and sooner than anyone else the directions the affairs of nations were moving towards, storm or calm. Well, to sum up briefly, Mr. Taft wanted to preserve peace by jabber. Mr. Balfour's method was of the "para bellum" kind, whilst Sir Edward Grey preferred to sail a medium course for the sake of financial economy. Sir Edward Grey's statement brought a resounding echo from an honest German statesman who practically endorsed Mr. Balfour's opinion. This all occurred during the Ides of March. Now to finish with general principles and come to the present moment, let us look at Germany and the chances of war. In the August number of Twentieth Century, Mr. J. Ellis Barker very clearly points out German designs in Africa; he notes the following facts that as far back as 1876 and again in 1884 Bismarck and Paul Kruger discussed the Zululand of Sta. Lucia Bay as a Ga "pied a terre" and relations! tween Germany and the Boer] came so friendly that at a banquet in 1895 Kruger openlj knowledged the ties to be suj are natural between father and j This statement could only the outcome of some very con understanding which doubtlessl existed between Germany anl Orange Free State (not then p{ pink on the map of South Aff 1895 saw the Kaiser building but its construction did not meel very hearty response from his] people and he was in no positij render any form of material hi South African Republics in the [ of any army.

For read ''Edna Lyall.") There! That is how it is done by the best authors when they are caught napping. I had hoped that nobody would have noticed a little thing like that, but of course a critic of public modes and morals must expect to "get it in the neck" when he gives his readers the chance, and early on Monday morning I was questioned closely regarding the authorship of "The Autobiography of a Slander" by a constant reader of this paper, and Tuesday's mail brought a brief reminder that I must be more careful in future. All I can say is that if Edna Lyall had not written the book Marie Corelli would have done sn. and in any case the authorship of the book did not enter into the point of the argument. However, I beg to thank my critics for reading my lines with such attention and for taking the trouble to set me right. * * * In these luxurious days of modern civilization people become accustomed to having everything done for them. An elevator boy takes them to the top of a building; a street car takes them to whatever part of the city they desire to reach; a telephone wire carries their orders to their tradesmen—in short it would seem as though all that were needed now- a-days is for a person to keep alive and civilization does the rest. I think, however, that the civic authorities in Victoria carry this doctrine to extreme lengths, for they not only provide a hospital for the treatment of invalids but they try to provide the invalids right at the hospital's door. It is quite superfluous charity on their part to undertake to maim and cripple visitors to the Jubilee Hospital just because excellent accomodation is afforded therein. Possibly it may be a new advertising scheme, but if it is I may state that it is not at all appreciated by those who have occasion to go to the Hospital. The sidewalk leading to the main entrance to the Jubilee Hospital is in a disgracefully dangerous state and needs prompt attention. * * * In many cities there is a by-law whicii compels owners of automobiles to draw their machines right up to the edge of the sidewalk before they leave them standing there. Whether such a by-law is in existence in Victoria I do not know, but if it is not it would seem to me that such a law might very well be passed. Many men leave their cars out in the street for hours together and though this would cause little or no inconvenience if the-latter were pulled up close to the curb, it often does cause an inconvenience when they are left some feet away from it. This point was brought to my attention this week by a man who can by no manner of means be called a "motorphobe." He merely suggested that the matter should be brought to the notice of« automobilists who would immediately see the force of the contention. * * * I made some mention last week with regard to the turning out of the cluster lamps on our principal streets at what seemed to me to be an absurdly early hour. It would appear that there was another reason for my suggestion than the one I gave, viz., that it would be more merciful to people who missed the last car to extend the hour. I learn that within the last few days two barber's poles have been abstracted from their place on Fort Street. One has since been returned but the other, at the time of writing—is not. Now I doubt whether any person would have allowed his high spirits to run away with him to this extent if the street had been properly lighted. This sort of abstraction is usually the outcome of a sportive frame of mind induced by the wine when it is red, and there is always someone in the party who shrinks from such a line of conduct in the glare of a civic lamp. I do not think it is asking too much if I put in a plea for the extension of the "lights out" hour to one o'clock a.m. * * * I have heard all sorts of opinions expressed with respect to the sideshows which were erected on the burnt area as a preliminary to the carnival which is scheduled for this week, and I have had all sorts of suggestions for items for this column. But I think that it would be fairer to refrain making any comment on the matter till the week is over and it is possible to take into consideration the whole scheme of the carnival. As my copy has to be turned in long before the serious part of the business is due to arrive, I have made up my mind to say nothing at all this week, but to devote a portion of my space next week to a review of the various items on the bill of fare provided. I have been much encouraged in my campaign against the City authorities and David Spencer, Ltd., by the receipt of the letter which I reproduce below. During the current week the nuisance has not been so pronounced, but I am inclined to think that for this we have to be thankful to Jupiter Pluvius rather than to any change in the indifferent attitude of the firm in question or tiie City Council. I have noticed that though Broad Street ceased for the nonce to look like a bargain counter, there were many packing-cases only waiting for a temporary dry spell to disgorge their contents. However, this week I will let my correspondent voice my complaints. His letter reads as follows:— Victoria, Sept. n, 1911. Lounger, The Week, Victoria. My dear Lounger: I'm glad- to see that there is someone in Victoria who can and is not afraid to "kick," even if it has to be registered through the columns of The Week. What I refer to is the privilege which seems to have been granted to the D. Spencer Co. of heaping the sidewalk on Broad street with big packing cases. To look at the street sometimes one would think that Broad street at that point was part of that so called "department store," and that people were only tolerated on the sidewalk through the beneficence of the D. Spencer Co. Coming from the East and more recently from Vancouver, I can profess to know something of conditions in this regard in these places. In both Toronto and Vancouver such a bold-faced usurpation of the public's rights would not be tolerated at all. In most of the stores in these cities all goods are brought ill and unpacked on the premises of the stores —not on the public domain, ancl more than tbat the delivering is done during the wee small hours of the morning so that the public is put to no inconvenience. In Eaton's, Toronto, store goods are brought in from the factory by means of a connecting tunnel under the street. In Vancouver the regulations affecting the unpacking of goods are strictly enforced by the police and no firm is specially privileged to make use of the public highway. More than this, most of the delivering is done after business hours. All this is just to show you how 'tis done in other cities. In Victoria, I understand that there is a civic regulation dealing with this nuisance, but why the D. Spencer Co. should be without the pale of its enforcement is something whicii is neither to the credit of the city nor the methods of that firm. Why this firm cannot have its goods delivered in the evening after business hours, or at least do their unpacking on their own premises, is a puzzle to me. But what really prompted this effusion and my commendation of your "kicking" is the fact that I have recently had practical experience with one of the steel bindings whicii bind the boxes. As I was going along the narrow passageway, by courtesy allowed the public, dodging other pedestrians in a similar plight, one of these wire bindings caught my overcoat and made a neat little rip over an inch long. And I haven't had it fixed yet. I can show it to you if you wish. I hope you will keep up your hammering until the proper authorities realize that public opinion is against this privileged disrespect of our civic laws. Yours truly, PUBLIC OPINION. Now that the glorious weather of the last few weeks has broken and there appears every probability of our settling down to the average fall weather when it is usually safer to carry an umbrella than not, I would beg for more consideration on the part of those who use them. There is one umbrella fiend who is fit to be classed with the "road-hog," the "boat-rocker" and sundry other pests, and that is the man who persists in carrying his "gamp" tucked under one arm with the point sticking out behind. This is a failing which afflicts the sterner sex only. To their credit be it said that the ladies never carry their umbrellas thus, and it is a bad habit which seems to come wit!1 years. The inveterate offender is almost always an elderly gentleman with an extremely peppery temper. He is the typical retired Indian officer as depicted by the novelists, who tell us that he has been brought up on curry and chutney and possesses the Indian liver. I hasten to say that I have no actual Victorian in my mind's eye when I write this, nor do I wish to cast a stigma on the Indian officer. I use the character as the novelists hand him to us. I confess that I have a relative at home whose portrait I am using, but as he doesn't subscribe to The Week he will not mind, and as I know that I am not mentioned in his will, I don't mind. But there are many elderly men in Victoria who do endanger the public eye by their method of umbrella carrying and it is to them that this appeal is made by the (&x VTt*yi*, NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS Vernon Court-house.

Some think -five and fifty old enough to retire from the brunt of business lie Sir William Whyte is within two years of three score ancl ten, lhas decided that at the end of the month he will endeavour to think labout the technicalities of running the Western Canadian section 1 big railway. Since 1897, as vice-president of the Canadian Pacific Iway he has managed their lines west of Fort William. It is cult for a transportation genius such as Sir William to disentagle pelf from the web of railroad steel which he has helped to spin. It will not be an easy task to drop a railroading experience of nearly 1 a century to fritter away time and think of past achievements and lacing the deck of semi-idleness. Even had Sir William a strong re along that line, the Canadian Pacific Railway directors would llike the benefit of his counsel. |When the Western vice-president reached mile-post sixty-five on [ailroad of life he was approached by Sir Shaughnessy, the presi- and requested to remain in office a few years longer. This was |narkable compliment to the vice-president, for those who preside Jthe destinies of big railroad corporations think that at sixty-five |isefulness of their officials should be rewarded by retirement, are the words of Sir Thomas himself in making the announce- at Winnipeg this week:— J'The period at which the connection of Sir William Whyte, of |ompany, might have been severed under the regulations was three ago. At that time, at my urgent request ancl solicitation, he bnted to remain in the service of the company a few years longer. William has now advised me that he has decided to retire ancl to Id the balance of his life in rest. It has consequently been agreed lie board of directors that he should retire from the active control lie lines in Western Canada on September 30th next. The Cana- IPacific will not, however, lose the great benefit of the experience lir William. It has been decided that he be elected to the board, lie will continue his service to the company in that capacity." IThus Sir William Whyte, whom King George made a Knight |elor in June, becomes a member of the Canadian Pacific direc- |e. His great interest in the welfare of the line will thus be main- Id as it would have clone anyway. sir William's career in Canada has been yet another example of can be accomplished by a plodding individual who chooses a bular avocation and sticks to it. Born in Scotland in 1843, he to Canada as a young man of twenty years of age. After seven ^' service with the Grand Trunk Railway he was made freight at Stratford, but in 1883 he resigned ancl became general super- Ident of the Credit Valley Railway. He then became connected Jthe Toronto, Grey and Bruce Railway, which later became part le Canadian Pacific system. In 1886 he became general superin- pnt of the western division, and in 1897 he was manager of Cana- | Pacific lines west of Fort William. He is also a director of the sh Columbia Southern Railway. Somehow Sir William has always been regarded as a Western although in close touch with the chords that vibrate the national liercial system. He likes the West. He knows its problems inti- \y.

His advice is worth repeating:— "There is one bad feature," he said, "in connection with farming in the three prairie provinces, and that is that the farmers are 'wheat mad'; that is, they are devoting the whole of their time and attention to the growing of wheat to the exclusion of dairy products. As an illustration: the Canadian Pacific imports nearly all chickens used in its dining cars and hotels from the United States. Eighty carloads of eggs came into Winnipeg from the United States last year. That represents twelve millions of eggs. We are now importing cream into Winnipeg from the United States. Celery and other vegetables are imported, ancl butter is not infrequently imported from Ontario. "This condition of affairs is to be deplored, because the money that is sent from this country into the United States for articles that can as well be produced in our own country is a great loss to the country, but so long as the fanner can make the growing of wheat profitable he will not, I fear, turn his attention to mixed farming, because there is less labour attached to the growing of wheat than mixed farming. The wheat-growing farmer, after he has disposed of his wheat, has no further responsibility on his farm, except the care of his horses, ancl this can be taken care of by a hired man, whereas if he was following mixed farming to any extent he would have to live on the farm all the year or hire a responsible man to look after the care of the pigs, cattle, poultry, etc." It is good to know that Sir William Whyte will still be among his friends, both Eastern and Western, that he will still remain as a friend ancl counsellor of the Canadian Pacific Railway and of the people of Canada. There is every wish for the restful period of life which Sir William has so well earned. But it may be that that period will be spent in the office of the High Commissioner for Canada in London.—The Monetary Times. BRITISH TRADE IN CANADA Mr. Richard Grigg, British Trade Commissioner in Canada, in his recent report, while emphasising the necessity for greater enterprise on the part of British manufacturers, points out that the successful development of closer trade relations between Canada and Great Britain will depend quite as much upon a reasonable goodwill ancl support on the part of Canadians being forthcoming. "Thus, for instance," says Mr. Grigg, "in connection with the large growing needs of the municipal authorities throughout Canada, the period allowed to contractors in England for sending in tenders is frequently too short, so that no effective British tender can be rendered, and it has happened on many occasions that excuses have been sought and found under which the lowest British tender has not been accepted; and in one case a local producer was allowed to address the council after learning that the engineer had recommended the acceptance of a British tender. The result in persisting in such a policy would obviously be that outside tenders would cease when the tendering firms were convinced that Grand Trunk Pacific Investors The construction of the new transcontinental railway—the Grand Trunk Pacific—is to-day opening up new towns that in the very near future will be large and important cities. Just as the advent of the pioneer transcontinental line—The Canadian Pacific—opened and built up divisional points such as Brandon, Regina, Calgary, Lethbridge, etc., so will the new line of the Grand Trunk make large divisional points of the towns we now orier for sale. We have secured the agency from the GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC RAILWAY CO. for the towns mentioned below and the shrewd investors who can recognize the many advantages for investment in these towns at the prices of today, will share in the large profits that will accrue as a result of their rapid development. No other investment is so safe and profitable, and if you want to get your portion of the wealth Western Canada's development is creating, take advantage of this opportunity now before it is too late. Prices of lots in all of these divisional points are $75, $100, $150, $200, $250 and $300 on easy monthly payments, no interest and no taxes till 1912, with a 5 per cent, discount for cash. MELVILLE—The first Saskatchewan divisional point on the G. T. P. and the largest new town on the line between Winnipeg and Edmonton, Located in a rich agricultural district, an important railroad and distributing centre. Melville bids fair to become one of the important cities of Western Canada. WATROUS—The mecca of the health seeker, situate near the shores of the famous Little Manitou Lake, and in the centre of one of the finest farming sections of Saskatchewan. BIGGAR—The opportunity of opportunities, located in the heart of a wonderfully rich and fertile agricultural district, and with railway facilities that guarantee a future, being not only one of the most important Grand Trunk Pacific divisional points on the main line between Winnipeg and Edmonton, but is the junction of the branch lines of the Grand Trunk Pacific to Battleford and Calgary, which will be hurried to completion at an early date. The C. P. R. runs through Biggar, and all C. P. R. trains stop there. TOFIELD—The terminus of the branch line from Calgary, situate near the shores of the Beaver Lake. The discovery of natural gas and of clay, and having at its door several square miles underlaid with lignite coal, promise the development at Tofield of important manufacturing industries. EDSON—The last prairie divisional point on main line of Grand Trunk Pacific, and the gateway to the Peace River Country. Rich in natural resources, Edson lots fulfill every requirement for safe and profitable investment. REMEMBER THE PRICES, $75.00 to $300.00, and terms of one-tenth cash and balance in nine equal monthly payments—no interest.

STEAMSHIP THAT USES OIL A novel cargo vessel for the Canadian Great Lakes has been despatched from an English yard across the Atlantic under its own power, which those who know say will revolutionise the carrying trade. This vessel is equipped with a Diesel oil engine and measures 241 ft., has 42y_ ft. beam, a draught of 14 ft., and burns or explodes about 1-.4 tons of crude oil a day. Crude oil in Canada costs lj^d. a gallon, whereas gasoline is worth lOd. Her fuel oil is carried like ballast, as water is carried in other great freight boats. The advantages of this new type of carrier are extra hold space, extra deadweight carrying capacity, extra economy of fuel and of labour; no stokers are necessary.

FREDE DERICK BROOKS, oct. 7 12 THE WEEK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1911 Cost of Living and Wages --A Memorandum Written for the Week by An Oxford Professor of Economics Correspondence The statement lias repeatedly been made, that the proposed agreement with the United States will lower the prices of the necessities of life, and that the benefit of that reduction will go to the workers. Both clauses in tbat statement are false and misleading. The agreement will not lower these prices, and if it did, the workman would not get the benefit of the lower prices for more than the shortest space of time. The first half of this claim is easily disposed of. If the law of supply and demand means anything, it means that when the American worker enters the B. C. market to buy foodstuffs and other natural products, prices will not fall, but rise. The prices of many natural products are already high, because the supply actually on the market is short, and the addition of the American to the B. C. demand is bound to raise those prices still further. But we will suppose, for the sake of argument, that a large increase in the supply of natural products follows the agreement, and prices fall. Even in that case the workman cannot hope to reap the benefit of the lower scale for any length of time, because wages will inevitably accommodate themselves to the lowered cost of living. The usual argument is something like this; "You B. C. workmen get high wages, but you have to pay so much for your keep that your wage is not nearly as good as it looks. Pass Reciprocity and the cost of your living will go down, while you pocket the difference." All this is very charming, but unfortunately quite illusory, for the price of labour is determined not only by demand and supply, but, like every other price, by the cost of production. A manufacturer cannot go on selling at an average price lower than the average cost of production of the thing he is making. The cost of production of labour is the amount of money which it takes to feed, clothe, and house the worker, besides supplying him with any luxuries he may refuse to do without. If prices are low, then that production—cost of labour,—the minimum wage—,will be low: if prices are high, then the minimum wage will be high also. This is the reason why wages are normally higher where prices are higher, as in the towns, and lower where prices are lower, as in the country these are facts well known to all who do business in any form, but they could be supported by the authority of the most eminent economists, including Karl Marx. In England living costs about two- thirds of its cost here, and wages are proportionately lower. They are further depressed by the over-supply of labour, especially casual labour, so that in this particular case the actual wages paid are not only influenced, but absolutely fixed by the minimum upon which a man can keep body and soul together. Let one instance suffice to illustrate the conditions in the Old Country. The unskilled labour of Glasgow is among the worst paid labour in the United Kingdom. Some time ago a number of well-meaning people tried to help these men by providing them with cheap housing at non-commercial rates. The only consequence was a further reduction of wages to follow this decrease in the cost of living. Or take an illustration nearer home: Asiatic labour is normally cheaper than European. If you care to ask the next workman you meet why that is so he will tell you pretty vigorously that the Asiatic can live on next to nothing. In other words, the wage he is prepared to take is regulated by his low standard of living. He may make more in times of exceptional scarcity of labour, but he can always be obtained at a lower rate than a white man of equal efficiency, because whether through lower prices or parsimonious living, he can exist on less. To state the case quite generally: Here is an employer wanting to buy labour and a prospective employee wanting to sell it. They meet in the market, which is any place where men are engaged. The employer thinks of the most he can afford to give, and of the least whicii the man can be induced to take. These two mental reservations, call them reserve prices if you like, fix the limits inside which the wage will fluctuate according to that law of supply and demand so often quoted. The workman also fixes the least he will take, at an amount governed by just the same consideration, namely, what it costs him to live, and will generally include his little luxuries in his minimum. There are certain things he will have. If their price is high the minimum wage whicii he will accept is high. If their price is low he will take a lower minimum. Even while a man may be thinking of the current rates rather than of these maxima and minima, the wage which he can get is none the less surely lixed between those limits. Within these two the law of supply and demand has play. If there are a few labourers and many jobs, wages are high and the workman does well. But he does well out of the margin above his minimum, and not out of the whole. If there are many labourers and few jobs then wages will come down to the minimum level, which is the normal state of affairs in most countries, since a rise of wages anywhere attracts an inrush of labour whenever it becomes well known, and down comes the margin to zero. All this is very elementary, and it should not be necessary to dwell upon it at any length. Neither is it necessary for us to point out how that margin may be affected by the action of trade unionism. All that we are here concerned with is that the normal rate of wages in an open market tends always to the actual figure which represents the cost of living, and in any case is absolutely greater or less according to the amount of that first charge. We deny that an increased demand on the men who are even now making an insufficient output of food can do anything but increase price. We assert without hesitation that the most we can expect is an increase in the supply to meet the new demand and keep prices level; and we maintain that even if these prices should fall, wages must inevitably take the new scale as a minimum, and fluctuate somewhere above that, as they did somewhere above the old. If you lower prices you will soon lower wages to match. The Week accepts no responsibility for the views expressed by its correspondents.

The Choral was formed in January, 1910, due to the indefatigable efforts of a few music-lovers and has since, under the able direction of Mr. Gideon Hicks, given three concerts April, 1910, November, 1910, and May, 1911. Every person connected with the society gives his or her services gratuitiously, and I merely mention this to impress the fact that the society is not trying to make money. All the members subscribe for their music and receive no tickets for concerts. In May last an extraordinary general meeting of the society was held at which it was unanimously decided to double the membership fee and either give future concerts to a house guaranteed on the same lines as those for instance of the Arion Club, or go out of business. Personally, and my opinion is the same as many others, I think it would be a great mistake to give up the work the society has so ably undertaken. The City Council evidently appreciates the fact that a well conducted Choral Society is a distinct asset to any community and therefore allows us the use of the Council Chambers free of charge for practices. Unfortunately the society has lost money at both of the last two concerts and it will take all the subscriptions of the members for the current year to clear up the indebtedness of the society. Within the next few weeks it is my intention to mail to as many persons as I know, notices in connection with the proposed guaranteed houses for concerts in future. Unfortunately, however, I do not know everybody who would be interested, nor can I get the information necessary, and I have therefore taken this method, believing that you, sir, are thoroughly in accord with the aims and ambitions of the society. Subscriptions will be asked for two concerts per annum to be given in the Victoria Theatre, one in mid-winter and one about May ist. Tickets for same will be allotted at $3.00 for two tickets for each concert and so on in proportion. I desire those who do not receive notice direct to communicate with me, care P. 0. Box 167. Only the very best music will be taken in hand, the programme for our next concert includes Coleridge-Taylor's "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast" and glees by such authors as Mendelssohn and Sir Edward Edgar with possibly the unsung portions of "Bonbon Suite," by Coleridge-Taylor, which work we partly rendered last May. There are openings in the society for active members. We want readers, if possible, and good singers, and the younger ones particularly, for no doubt they would derive great benefit as well as pleasure from taking part in the rehearsals. ARTHUR WHEELER, JR., Hon. Secretary. MISTAKEN IDENTITY The teacher, after having taken great trouble to explain the difference in the meanings of the words "dream" and "reverie," addressed the class. "Now could any of you give mc a sentence with the word 'reverie' in it?" A small youth put up his hand. "You John!" she uttered in astonishment. "Well, what is it?" "Please, ma'am," said the urchin, "the 'reverie' blew his whus'le and stopped the game." E. S.

"City of Nanaimo" ered a bag of mail to Victoria, Itten on one of the wharves here. they did deliver it is only one of the many instances the C. P. R. have shown of their desire to oblige the people they serve. We are now enjoying (thanks to the C. P. R.) an admirable service at reasonable rates, and we fully appreciate this, after all the inconveniences we have suffered since the "Iroquois" disaster. If, through failure to obtain the mail contract, the C. P. R. is compelled to abandon this service, you can imagine with what gratitude we shall hail the next Liberal candidate. If you do any prophesying do not forget Mr. Shepherd as the man for Nanaimo. W. J. L. HAMILTON, R.S.M., R.C.C., London.

The enthusiasm increases at every point; the leaders are s.s vigorous as ever and in spite of his "age and grey hairs" it looks as if Sir Wilfrid will be able to continue to the end of a fight which cannot fail to recall the historic Midlothian, cam-- paign of Mr. Gladstone. For a man who appealed to the voters of Quebec on the ground of age and infirmity he has made a remarkable showing. The Week doubts, however, whether he has gained many converts and it does know that he has lost many supporters. Double Policy The necessity of preaching a double policy in Quebec and Ontario has proved a heavy tax and it looks as if Sir Wilfrid's plaintive plea to his fellow-countrymen that after all the tidvy was "only a little one" has failed to lull their susceptibilities, while such a statement in Quebec made it impossible to appeal to the loyalists of Ontario with a claim that the -■navy was anything more than an abortive product. Handwriting on tlie Wall, . The most significant handwriting on the wall is to be found in the columns of the Montreal Herald, a Government organ, owned by the Hon. Sidney Fisher and managed and edited by Mr. J. S. Brierley, one of the most capable and uncompromising Liberals in the Dominion. After carefully summing up the situation, the Herald concludes that Sir Wilfrid cannot have less than thirty of a majority. An admission from such a source that he will lose thirteen seats in the aggregate possesses the highest significance, and may well be taken to presage defeat. Estimating thc Result It is known that Mr. Borden has gained ground in the Maritime Provinces and that the Government will lose at least three seats. Of course Quebec is an unknown quantity, and it is idle to predict what the result will be except to say that some inroad will undoubtedly be made on the Government majority. Assuming that the West does no better for Mr. Borden than it did last time, this leaves the battle to be won in Ontario, and that is where both political leaders are concentrating their energies. There are several indications that Ontario will give a large, if not an overwhelming majority against Reciprocity. Desperation of the Globe One indication is the obvious desperation of the Toronto Globe, which has never been so dogmatic and illogical. Another factor is the tremendous influence of some of the leading business men of the Province who for the first time in their lives will cast a Conservative vote; and the third factor is the growing conviction in the minds of the Ontario farmers that they would lose more through the invasion of their own home market than they would gain by being able to send their products across the Line free of duty. Industrial Considerations To this no doubt must be added the determined opposition of the manufacturing and industrial interests which recognise that the exploitation of Canadian natural resources under. the Reciprocity Treaty would be the beginning of a movement to the other side of the Line, depleting Canadian cities and building up new industrial centres in the American states. This appeals especially to the Province of Ontario because it has become the great manufacturing province of the Dominion and it is the development of manufacturing industries which has created the home market. It will be a great surprise if Ontario does not go overwhelmingly against Reciprocity and furnish the majority which will turn the scale in favour of a Conservative Government. Haultain's Conversion In Saskatchewan a noticeable incident has occurred during the week. Mr. Fred. Haultain, easily the most brilliant politician in the Prairie Provinces, has come out flat- footed against Reciprocity. He frankly admits that six months' investigation has convinced him that second thoughts are best. When he pronounced in favour of Reciprocity in March last he did so under the belief that the farmers of Saskatchewan and Alberta were in favour of it to a man. He now finds that this is not the case and further that its National and Imperial aspects are so important that he must in any event oppose it. The attitude of Mr. Haultain may fairly be regarded as a victory for those who have always maintained that in the ultimate issue Reciprocity would be settled on this basis, and it cannot be doubted that he is only one of many who were at first enamoured of its economic features but ultimately convinced that its National and Imperial aspects far outweighed every other consideration. Kipling's Message Is it too much to say that the one event of the week has been the publication of Rudyard Kipling's magnificent message to Canada? No man can read it without a thrill, and no man who reads it should for-' get that Kipling has at all times proved himself to be the one man with his finger on the pulse of the Empire, and the one man able to interpret the aspirations of the British people. He was the first on the occasion of his visit to Canada five years ago to raise the standard of nationality and to urge that the main duty of Canadians was to subordinate personal gain to National interests. There could be no better time to apply this great principle than in the present crisis. It is essentially a time for subordinating the possibility of a small material gain to the maintenance of the high ideals and the working out of the loftiest destiny. Templeman's Debacle In Victoria there is no doubt of the result. Mr. Barnard will have a substantial majority, thanks not only to the zeal and enthusiasm of his own workers but also to the ineptitude of Mr. Templeman, the convincing manner in which he has monstrated his inability to protect the terests of the Province. It now turns that Mr. Templeman knew nothing abi| the circular which was issued at the exprj wish of the railway companies to ena them to evade the Alien Labour Act, wh means that in a matter directly affect] British Columbia its only Minister was consulted by his colleagues and was left] ignorance of a matter which directly fected his interests until he read it "in I newspapers." It is a humiliating posit) for him and one which shows how li| there is in the cry of the Victoria Tir, "Vote for Templeman and a Portfolio.) His Influence Nil Mr. Templeman's failure to secure provision for the building of a warship the Canadian Navy on the Pacific C<J has emphasized the conviction that his] fluence at Ottawa is nil unless one ii take the still more damning alterna| that he is indifferent. The Last Straw But the last straw is the springing ofl Brotchie Ledge breakwater project a before the election. This was anticipJ by The Week and specifically referrq a month ago as one of the election "td with which Mr. Templeman would seel amuse the electorate. It comes beforl now without any foundation other than! assurance of Mr. Pugsley that he w-j "endorse" the project. He said the when he was here two and a half ago, but from that day to this not a i\\ has he moved. How ill-digested a sch it is is well shown by the fact that in| same issue of the paper Mr. Thos. Sc who is an authority on the subject, sub an alternative plan and condemns | Brotchie Ledge breakwater because! would leave the harbour open to the i\_\ gales."

No. 37 ^\ Ninth Year THE WEEK, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1911 Ninth Year One Dollar Per Annum EASQNS WHY Victoria Electors Should VOTE FOR BARNARD Is the day of the election draws near the les between the two political parties in Joria have narrowed clown so that the Ition will turn upon the attitude of the |:lidates towards a few vital questions, first of these is the record of Mr. iard and Air. Templeman towards lour. In this connection Mr. Barnard is lunate since circumstances have worked I the problem to his advantage. THE WORKING-MAN It election times both political parties fvate the working-man and claim to be Natural protector. This attitude of gen- friendliness ancl interest amounts to little unless it is backed up by some |iite action which carries conviction to ' mind of the working-man. Recent jits have placed both candidates in a very r light in their relation to the true inks of Labour. There are on the lute books of the Dominion two Acts lng a direct bearing upon that phase of [Labour question in which the working- of British Columbia are most inter- I—the Immigration Act and the Alien fciir Act. Early last month, before Mr. liard left Victoria for Ottawa, he was le acquainted with the fact that large Ibers of American labourers were be- limported from Seattle by local railway tractors. On his return to Ottawa he light the matter before the House. Air. \.k Oliver, the Minister of the Interior, Mr. Mackenzie King, the Minister for |our, both denied that such was the case promised special attention to the en- lement of the Act. Mr. Templeman Sat Quietly By iMth this Air. Barnard had to be satisfied jthe moment; he received no assistance li Air. Templeman who sat quietly by [took no part in the debate. Later on 1 Provincial Government took action rist Grant, Smith & Company for ille- importing alien labour and the firm I convicted and fined. During the hear- lof the case it developed that in 1910 lin 1911 the Dominion Government had fended the clauses of the Immigration requiring immigrants to have $25 in and to come direct from their coun- lof origin. They had clone this by cir- Irs issued to their immigration agents, l.py of which was produced in Court. Iher of the Ministers mentioned this cir- (stance when Air. Barnard raised the fetion in the House. A'Ir. Templeman he did not know of it. Air. Duncan |s, a leading light in the Liberal Party, it was clone at the request of the rail- companies because they could not pro- sufficient labour. When Air. Temple- did know of it he expressed no sym- Jiy with the action of Air. Barnard in ling the question ancl offered no defence lthe Government. His organ, the Vic- Times, in a most disingenuous argu- , tried to show that because it was J Immigration Act and not the Alien Jour Act which it specifically altered therefore the latter was not affected. Facts are Stubborn Things |ut facts are stubborn things ancl can- be demolished by disingenuous argu- it and the matter stands thus, that Air. Inard raised the question in the House, eived scant courtesy from the Govern- rit, received no assistance from Mr. Inpleman ancl yet but for A'Ir. Barnard's Ion and the publicity which he gave to the matter the public would never have known of the Government circular, the suspension of certain clauses of the Immigration Act and the open breach of Canadian law involved in conniving at a contravention of the Alien Labour Act. SHIP-BUILDING AT ESQUIMALT The contrast between Air. Barnard's attitude ancl that of Mr. Templeman in respect of ship-building at Esquimalt is just as clear ciit as in the case of the Labour interests. Time ancl again on the floor of the Plouse Air. Barnard has raised the well as unfair, as to insist on building the whole of the fleet on the Atlantic where it is admitted by the Government that there is no clanger and to ignore the claims of the Pacific where alone it is expected to be of practical use. But its claims have been ignored, and A'Ir. Templeman was a party to the ignoring, for when the advertisements for tenders were sent out there was no specification as to the point at which the vessels should be constructed, and yet the Government knew perfectly well that without such specification all ten- question of the importance of Esquimalt as a naval base, its great natural advantage as a harbour, its endorsation by the Imperial Government ancl the desirability of constructing at least a portion of the Canadian Navy on the Pacific Coast. A'Ir. Barnard's persistency in this matter greatly annoyed the Government and he was repeatedly snubbed for refusing to be "clowned." No Aid From Mr. Templeman On no occasion were his efforts seconded by Air. Templeman nor on any single occasion has Air. Templeman on his own account raised the question on the floor of the House. It is not necessary to enter into any argument in favour of the wisdom and the importance of the policy advocated by Air. Barnard in this regard. It means everything to the future of Victoria ancl nothing can be more illogical as ders would naturally be based upon Eastern prices, which are in the neighbourhood of at least 30 per cent, lower than Western. Sidetracked by the Government Or in other words the failure to specify that some of the vessels should be constructed on the Pacific barred the door against anything but Atlantic construction. Yet Air. Templeman calmly acquiesced. Pie has not at any time registered a protest against the action of the Government, nor has he said one word in support of thc case which Mr. Barnard put forward on behalf of Esquimalt. Apart from the unfairness of this policy; apart from its defective character from a National standpoint, it means depriving Victoria of a large and profitable industry, whicii would have found occupation for hundreds of men ancl added some thousands to the population. FISHERY PROTECTION Mr. Barnard made himself a very unpopular member with the Government because during the last two sessions he has given them no rest on the subject of Fishery Protection. Whenever he has urged that our fisheries were being depleted by American poachers he has been told across the floor of the House that his information was unreliable and that if there was any poaching at all it was very little. Government Denied Poaching Almost up to the date of the campaign Air. Templeman's organ deliberately gave the lie to Mr. Barnard's charges in connection with poaching, and when the Conservative press published the details of the capture of a pirate vessel off the West coast of Vancouver Island by the Government Fishery cruiser the Victoria Times denied its truthfulness; but since the vessel was actually captured and towed into port, people had the evidence of their own eyes to support the truth of the story, and the Times then crawled down ancl admitted it. In this matter it is never possible to arouse Air. Templeman to the slightest degree of interest; indeed, he denied the facts. A Volte Face Now that Reciprocity is thc issue A'Ir. Templeman ancl the Liberal speakers have discovered that our fisheries are valuable and the removal of one cent a pound duty would transfer the whole fishing fleet from Seattle to Prince Rupert. But they say nothing about the neglect of the Dominion Government to protect existing fisheries, ancl they fail to tell the electors that of the 265 boats said to ply from Seattle in this interest, not sixty-live would exist as an American fleet if supervision were strict ancl they were not allowed to poach in Canadian waters. Here again the respective attitude of Air. Barnard and Air. Templeman is clearly defined, and shows that the Minister who claims to represent Victoria and the whole of the Province in his Ministerial capacity has done nothing himself, ancl refrained from helping a man who tried to do something. CHINESE IMMIGRATION Perhaps, however, the greatest contrast between the two candidates is to be found in their attitude towards the question of Oriental Immigration. In that fatal speech which he made in the Victoria Theatre more than a month ago Air. Templeman clearly outlined his policy on this great question. He favoured the abolition of the head-tax and the substitution of an agreement of a similar character to that which Mr. R. L. Drury negotiated with the Japanese Government. Templeman and the Head-Tax It is true that since then Air. Templeman has clone his best to remove the impression which hc created, but however indifferent and lethargic hc may be, hc is too honest a man to lie about it, and all he ventures to say is that he is not in favour of removing the head-tax unless some other restriction is imposed, and he thinks the restriction of a friendly agreement like that of the Japanese would meet the case, From this it is quite clear that Mr. Templeman knows he has made a mistake and that he has voiced opinions entirely at variance with those held by the vast majority of the people of British Columbia. (Continued on Page 2) THE WEEK, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1911 The Keynote of the Election Newspapers may write for or against reciprocity; public speakers may laud or decry tlie measure; and private citizens may hold varying views on the subject. But who is better qualified to know what it means than President Taft, the Chief Magistrate of thc United States, the man who is chiefly responsible for the reciprocity agreement, who used every effort tp get it adopted by both Mouses of Congress, and who is eagerly waiting to see the Canadian people accept the terms of the agreement? Surely the views of this high authority are well worth considering at the present time. * In a speech at the joint banquet of the Associated Press and the American Newspaper Publishers' Association, held in New York on April 27th last, when it became necessary to explain to the people of the United States just what was meant, just what the President hoped for by the measure, he said:— "I have said that this was a critical time in the solution of the question of reciprocity. It is critical because, unless it is now decided favourably to reciprocity, it is exceedingly probable that no such opportunity will ever again come to the United States. The forces which are at work in England and in Canada to separate her by a Chinese wall from the United States, and to make her part of an imperial commercial band reaching from England around the world to England again by a system of preferential tariffs, will derive an 'mpetus from the rejection of this treaty, and if we would have reciprocity with all the advantages that I have described, and that I earnestly and sincerely believe will follow its adoption, we must take it now, or give it up forever." From the same speech by President Taft;—"The bond uniting the Dominion with the Mother Country i s light and almost imperceptible." RECIPROCITY means give and take—Canada to give everything and the United States to take it. IF we get Reciprocity, Rudyard Kipling may honour us with a poem on "Our Lady of the Woes." Editorial (Continued from Page 1) Mr. Barnard Adamant Mr. Barnard's attitude is unmistakable and his stand adamant. He belongs to the party which has always been opposed to Oriental Immigration, which through Premier McBride refused the overtures of the Dominion Government ancl the Grand Trunk Pacific to relax the regulations under which Oriental labour could not be employed. Mr. Barnard said emphatically in his address: "I shall oppose with all my power any effort which might be made to do away with the $500 head-tax on the Chinese coming into Canada. I do not consider that it would be possible for Canada to make a similar arrangement vvith China to that whicii exists with Japan, because the Government of the former Oriental Power is so unstable." Barnard Speaks for B. C. On this question Mr. Barnard undoubtedly speaks for British Columbia. Mr. Templeman speaks for himself, the Dominion Government and the corporations in whose interests he would relax the laws whicii have been enacted for the protection of while labour. RECIPROCITY Tbe last, and of course the greatest, reason why the electors should return Mr. Barnard is because he is the standard-bearer of the party which is opposed to Reciprocity. It is impossible to-recapitulate even a few of the arguments whicii have been put forward during one of the most strenuous ancl brilliant campaigns ever conducted. Profit and Loss Suffice it to say that whatever slight material gain might result from the passing of the Reciprocity Agreement such an advantage is not worth consideration in view of the other great issues involved. Canada is prosperous; her continued prosperity depends mainly upon the development of her agricultural resources. In British Columbia this specially applies to fruitgrowing. ' We Need More Men What British Columbia most needs is men; more men, and then again more men. We need increased population to find a profitable home market for our producers ; we need increased population in order to ensure the establishment of manufacturing industries ancl anything which checks the growth of population by making labour less profitable is the greatest enemy British Columbia could have. It is obvious that if we are to buy farm produce in increased quantities from the States, we shall produce less ourselves, and in producing less shall employ less labour. Wages Would Fall With a lessened demand for labour will naturally come lower wages, and if tliere were no other great issue involved, affecting National and Imperial interests, this alone is sufficient to stamp the Reciprocity Agreement as "a bad bargain," and to determine that the interests of Victoria lie in supporting Mr. Barnard, the candidate who is opposed to Reciprocity. Do you buy more than six boxes of apples a year? If not, you would save just $1.50 under Reciprocity, or the equivalent of half a day's wage. Which is of the greater importance, to import British settlers or American farm produce? You cannot do the latter without checking the for- TAFT'S ADVICE—"KEEP QUIET" One of the most significant things the president said was at the luncheon with the New York State Fair commissioners at Syracuse, when he explained why he had not discussed reciprocity in his outdoor address to several thousand city folks and farmers. "I am not going to speak about reciprocity," he said, "until after the matter is settled in Canada. We have done our part, and are waiting, and it is just as well for us to keep quiet." Mr. Barnard is in favour of building the Pacific unit of the Canadian Navy on the Pacific Coast. Mr. Templeman is not, if one is to judge from his inaction in the matter. Great Speech of Mr. Sifton at Coburg What is declared to have been one of the greatest speeches yet delivered in the present political campaign was made by Hon. Clifford Sifton at Cobourg on the evening of September -th. At the outset of his address, Mr. Sifton stated that he would not haggle over prices, lie would endeavour to confine himself to indisputable facts, the truth of which was freely admitted by the advocates of reciprocity. It was an indisputable fact that from 85 to 90 per cent, of Canadian farm products, apart from hard wheat, was marketed in the Canadian home market. 'Tf, therefore, you were to have the American market offered you permanently you would get higher prices for perhaps ten or twelve per. cent, of your farm products," said Mr. Sifton. "But that's not the proposition. This market isn't offered to you permanently. It will be taken away from you just as soon as our friends on the other side choose to take it away. If they think that this bargain is not turning out well for them they will soon take away their market for this ten or twelve per cent, of our farm products. Canada's Loss "And in return for this, what are you giving? In return for a possible, gambling chance of getting a higher price for ten or twelve per cent, of your agricultural products, you are asked to throw open your whole home market to the United States, to the twelve favoured nations, and to the entire British Empire. "My friend, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, has had a good deal of fun with this favoured nations business. You know, when you can't reply to an argument, sometimes the best thing you can do is to joke about it. (Laughter.) Sir Wilfrid has said that this favoured nations matter is not very serious, that the competition of the favoured nations in the Canadian home market will not be worth considering. Just let us look at that for a moment. The United States has ninety millions of people. Last year the United States raised enough agricultural products to feed that ninety millions of people, and there remained four hundred and thirty-eight million dollars worth of agricultural products for export. And what of the favoured nations? Russia produced $23,000,000 worth of butter last year; Australia produced $11,500,000 worth of butter last year; New Zealand produced $8,- 000,000 worth of butter last year; Australia produced $3,500,000 worth of beef last year; New Zealand produced $2,750,000 worth of beef last year; Argentine produced $20,000,000 worth of beef last year; Australia produced $6,000,000 worth of mutton and lambs last year. And so it goes. These are the very things which we are producing'. And there is not one of these countries which cannot ship these products to Canada at freight rates whicii will be a comparative trifle. "Are they likely to do this? Why, they are doing it already. They are doing it in the very face of our present protective tariff. Last April and May Australia shipped butter to Canada, over the tariff wall, in such quantities that the price broke from 27^ to 19 cents a pound. Last April and May we imported one million dozen eggs from the United States despite the tariff, and the result was a break in the price of eggs. Last April and May we imported 351,000 pounds of mutton and lamb from Australia, 363,000 pounds of mutton and lambs from the United States, and so on, all in the face of our tariff. Reasons for the Imports 'What accounts for these imports? Simply the fact that the Canadian farmer's home market has risen to such a level that the United States, Argentine , Australia and all these other countries are even now the Canadian farmer's competitors in his own home market, notwithstanding the tariff whicii protects that market. "Supporters of the reciprocity pact say, with their fine, rolling platitudes that sound sq well and mean so little, that when the farmer is prosperous, all people are prosperous. And how do they propose to make the farmer prosperous? Do they propose to make the tariff higher, to protect him from the outside competition, whicli even now reaching him? No, they propose to take away that tariff altogether, to take down the bars, to allow tiie Canadian market to be flooded with farm products from all quarters of the earth. (Applause.) What will be the effect if the markets of Canada are thrown open in that way?" A voice—We will get cents where we now get dollars. (Prolonged applause.) The Globe's Attack "My friend the Globe newspaper, says today, in making reference to me, that the Liberal party will stand by the consumer. Well, let us see how they do it. They do it by fusing our markets with the markets of the United States. Ancl who controls the markets of the United States? The trusts. Every animal that stands on a hoof in that country is controlled by the beef trust of Chicago. And if this treaty goes into effect, not more than a week or ten days will elapse before they will have their machinery in order in this country. And there are all the other big trusts—the warehousing trust, the poultry trust, the cheese trust, aud so on. The whole proposition works down to this, that the produce markets of Canada, which today are in the main free and open, fluctuating according to supply and demand, are to be handed over to the United States trusts—to a jurisdiction wholly and absolutely beyond any Canadian control. (Applause.) These facts are of common knowledge, ancl I don't think there is any reason in the world for supposing that any benefit would accrue to the Canadian consumer as a result of his being handed over to the United States trusts." Effects of Reciprocity Mr. Sifton then dealt with the effect of reciprocity on Canadian manufacturers and the men in their employ. "Your car works here in Cobourg are building cars to send to the west," said he. "But cars made in Cobourg will fail to find a market in the west as soon as this agreement goes into effect." There were 82,000 fewer men on United States payrolls now than a year ago, and 30,000 to 35,000 more were to be laid off within the next six weeks. "Careful observers think the United States is now entering a long period of depression," said Mr. Sifton. "But T do not intend to say anything about that. I am content to take the facts as we find them now." A Worthless Assurance Sir Wilfrid's assurance that the tariff on manufactured articles would not be disturbed was worthless. Political contingencies would prove too strong for the prime minister. Canadian farmers would not pay a duty on manufactured articles when their own market was flooded with farm products from all parts of the world. "It is contrary to all common sense to think that you can have in the same country a free trade dumping ground for agricultural products and a protected closed market for manufactured articles. There is an inherent impossibility in this proposition. The supporters of reciprocity are compelled to base their whole argument on the abuse of one class, on the setting of one class against another. They attack millers, fruit growers, pork packers, manufacturers, and so on. When they have to resort to setting one-half the population against the other half the absurdity ancl illogical nature of the proposition is perceptible at once. It must be a radically unsound proposition and one not worthy of support. (Applause). "The development of east and west traffic by the construction of trans continental railways. All this wc be for naught if the reciprocity agij ment came into force. New Business Relations "Under reciprocity we shall nel sarily cultivate very much clef business relations with the Unj States. Your business men will their business connections there, we will be dependent on fluctuati] there for the prices we shall get I our products. What will be the e_j of this? The conditions goven| the prosperity of the two count will be common.

It is an immutable law of omics that any substantial redul in the cost of living produces a lij wage scale. The law of supply and demand | not govern wages absolutely, relatively, and the relation is tcj cost of living. WITH THE COMPLIMENTS THE LIBERAL PRESS The Liberal press is excelling in the present campaign in tha of choice epithets.

Canada is now the most prosperous country on the face of the earth ancl is increasing in prosperity from day to day and I say let well enough alone and don't monkey with the machine that has worked so well. "We have seen recently in a certain section of the Canadian Press much about the millions that are being sent to Canada by the American Trusts to defeat reciprocity. There was never a more absurd and impudent story. I know a good deal of these trusts and I do not hesitate to say that there is not one of them, with the exception of the International Paper Company, that is not hotly in favour of reciprocity and that any election contributions they might make would go to carry it. "We hear a great deal just now about this, that, and the other prominent Canadian having at some time favoured reciprocity. It does not matter a rap what anybody thought of reciprocity twenty or thirty years ago, and it is silly to quote utterances of that time. The situation of Canada has entirely changed since then. She has found herself and scorns the crumbs of her neighbours. "And that Canada has found herself is largely due to the unneighbourly policy of the United States in their McKinley tariff and their Ding- ley tariff, the latter having been especially aimed at Canada and intended to exclude her products. "In such a thing as this reciprocity agreement one party must lose what the other gains. Do you imagine for a minute or have you seen anything in the commercial policy of the United States towards Canada to indicate that they would press upon us such a bargain for our advantage? Not a bit of it. We shall lose in money, in trade, in manufactures, in independence, in self-respect and in the respect of others. "I do not wish to be understood as saying anything disrespectful of the United States. Far from it. They have grown great by taking care of their business just as we ought to do. They very properly seek every advantage just as we should do, and in the present case they are trying to take advantage of us just as we would, no doubt, take advantage of them if we had a good chance. "It was a saying long ago 'Beware of the Greeks when they bring gifts.' We here in Canada may well beware of the Americans when they bring tariff concessions. "I may sum up the whole situation in this: Our trade is about $97.00 per capita, and theirs $33.00 per capita. In other words, the water in our millpond stands at 97 and theirs at 33\ ancl they want us to take away our dam. Shall we not say: 'Not by a 'dam sight!'" But it is no new thing for the Americans to disregard both the spirit and the letter of a treaty. We have a case in point today. The Food Fisheries Treaty of 1908 is to be dropped by our Government because the Americans will not live up to their agreement. Under that treaty, a Joint Commission was appointed to draw up uniform regulations for the control of the fisheries in waters contiguous to the two countries. The Commission did its work. The regulations were not what we would have liked, but they were better than the old confusion and dangerous disputes. Our Parliament at once authorised the Government to put them in force. But the American Senate, in spite of the fact that its own Commissioner had helped draw the regulations, refused to put them in force where they pinched any American interest, but was willing to accept them in Eastern waters where no American felt that they would be hurt. So our Government, it is now said, will tear up the entire treaty. Then there is the Rush-Bagot Treaty intended to keep the Great Lakes, lying between Canada and the United States, forever free from warships. That was a noble idea. But how has it been carried out? Wc have faithfully kept our side of it. We have put no warships on the Great Lakes. But the Americans have turned its provisions into an exasperating farce. They have been constantly sending dismantled warships of considerable power up through the canals to the Great Lakes, and then shipping their guns to them overland. The consequence is that there are warships on the Great Lakes. They are American warships only. Mr. Barnard has taken a stand which will be highly appreciated by organized labour. He has promised to consult with the duly authorised representatives of labour on all matters connected with the welfare of the working-man. This will at least ensure his being posted as to their wishes. MR.

Mr. particularly" tiie '"feelings Poniard _,-.._, "U.!,-... ...- 1_ 111 _. . ° Barnard says, "What we have we'll hold," which suits the temper of the people of British Columbia somewhat better. MR. HAULTAIN'S CHANGE Ex-Premier Haultain of the Northwest has come out squarely against reciprocity. He has been moving among the people and making investigation, and is now convinced that the treaty will do no good, even to the Saskatchewan farmer. It will be remembered that Mr. Haultain at first declined to consider the imperial aspect of the question, contending that the prairie people had a right to study their own interests alone. This was too narrow a view for a man of Mr. Haultain's position to take, but he has found that even a Saskatchewan First politician must condemn Mr. Chaplin says:—"As one of the pioneers of tariff reform and of the opposition to our present so-called free trade system long before these questions were taken up by Mr. Chamberlain, I am deeply interested in the question of reciprocity. Tariff reform is the first great constructive policy to which the Unionist Party in this country is pledged, and the sister policy, if I may so describe it, of Mr. Chamberlain's great scheme for Colonial preference, is and always has been, the backbone of tariff reform. I do not hesitate to say that the reciprocity proposal so greatly favoured by Sir Wilfrid Laurier cannot be otherwise than most detrimental, if it is not fatal to the policy of Colonial preference between the United Kingdom and Canada, and to that extent, prejudicial also to the continued and increasing unity of the Empire. In saying this I represent of the Unionist party as a whole, and I believe, a large majority of the country also. Annexation, we know, looms largely in the most influential quarters in the United States and the policy of reciprocity, if accepted, must inevitably tend to closer unity between Canada and that country and lessen the relations between Canada and the Motherland, leading as times go on, to a diversity of interests." Mr. Templeman's speakers tell us that they favour Reciprocity because it is the first instalment of Free Trade. In Free Trade England according to Professor Mallock, there are 350,000 families, comprising 1,- 750,000 persons, or four times the population of British Columbia, whose family income averages $150 a year. Booth says that in London 35.2 per cent, of the population earn Mr. G. H. Barnard's Address to the Electors If I am elected as the Conservative member for the City of Victoria on September 21st, the following will be my policy: — 1. I pledge myself to make a standing fight on every opportunity which presents itself for the construction of all ships to be stationed on the Pacific Coast at British Columbia shipyards. The fact that higher wages are paid on the Pacific Coast than on the Atlantic will not deter me from making a strong fight against the construction of all the ships for the new Dominion navy on the Atlantic Coast. 2. One of my first efforts shall be to secure a new post office for Victoria. This is a need which has grown out of the rapidly increasing population and the present building is entirely inadequate for the requirements of the city. 3. I shall strongly advocate the payment to post office employees of wages commensurate with the services rendered. The present poor wages paid have led to the local post office being; inadequately manned, and the service being consequently ineffi-i cient, involving delays in the handling of mail matter which have caused considerable inconvenience to the business community. 4. The need of harbour improvements in keeping with the growth of the port is a matter of vital importance. This port handles the second highest tonnage of any port in the Dominion. I will use my efforts to secure adequate appropriations for harbour improvements which will enable this port to take its proper rank among the ports of the Dominion. 5. Included in the scheme of harbour improvements which I will strongly advocate will be the building of a breakwater off the harbour entrance. I consider that the time has arrived when this scheme has become a port necessity, and even if it should cost the Dominion Government the sum of $2,000,000 or more, I will endeavour by every legitimate means to have it undertaken at the earliest possible moment. 6. In the last Dominion House I outlined my attitude on the need of an efficient fishery protection service. The wholesale poaching carried on by American fishermen during the past few weeks has further proved the utterly inadequate patrol which is maintained on this coast. I shall urge that this fishery protection patrol be increased by one or more fishery protection cruisers of a thoroughly up-to-date character, and of a speed of not less than sixteen knots. 7. I will urge with all my power that the fortifications of Esquimalt shall be restored to and maintained at a strength satisfactory to the Imperial War Office, and will strongly advocate the increase of the present force at Work Point Barracks to at least the point of strength at which it was maintained by the Imperial authorities. 8. The present Ottawa authorities have not lived up to their promises to the men on board the cruisers Rainbow and Niobe in the matter of giving extra pay for extra services. My policy shall be to urge in the new Dominion House that these promises be implemented, and that a similar scale of wages shall be maintained both in the naval and fishery protection services of the Dominion. 9. I am in favour of the absolute enforcement of the Alien Labour Act. 10. I shall oppose with all my power any effort which might be made to do away with the $500 head tax on Chinese coming into Canada. I do not consider that it would be possible for Canada to make a similar arrangement with China as exists with Japan because the Government of the former Oriental power is so unstable. 11. As in the past in all matters connected with the welfare of the workingman I will consult with the duly authorised representatives of labour in this city and wherever possible I will urge that the wishes of these, as they affect labour, shall be given the utmost consideration. 12. I shall oppose by every means in my power any relaxation of the Immigration Laws, and will use my utmost endeavours to see that they are carried out in their entirety. 13. In the matter of railway construction in British Columbia I will urge that the Dominion Government shall bonus all legitimate undertakings which make for the benefit and prosperity of the people of this Province and of the Dominion as a whole. 14. My attitude on Reciprocity between Canada and the United States is well known. I shall continue to oppose Canada entering into any trade arrangement with a foreign power which may have a prejudicial influence on the ties which bind this country to the Motherland. 15. Lastly—I am for British connection first, last and all the time. I believe in Canada for the Canadians, and people of the British race, and I believe that the highest destiny which we can imagine for our country is to become the predominant partner in the greatest Empire that the world has ever known. G. H. BARNARD. SUPREMEST FOLLY To enter into a bargain with the American Nation, whicii can only be worked at all under a generous interpretation and in a spirit of mutual concession, would be an act of the sttpremest folly, ignoring the entire history of thc relations of that nation with our people, relying upon a faith that has never been kept and seeking a friendliness that has never ex- When Mr. Barnard stated in the House that alien labour was being illegally imported from Seattle, Mr. Mackenzie King denied it, but at the same time he knew that the notorious circular had been issued. Mr. Templeman says he never knew of the circular issued by the Dominion Government which varied the Immigration regulations until he "saw it in the newspapers," which shows how foolish Victoria would be to vote for "Mr. Templeman and a THE WEEK, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1911 Labour Unrest Real Causes of Social Dissatisfaction By Hector Macpherson Now that the great strike in England is over it may not be amiss to search for the causes of the widespread unrest among the working classes. According to Lord Londonderry, in a speech the other day, there is no mystery about the unrest. It is all due to the wild utterances of the Chancellor of the Exchequer during the Budget controversy. Anything Mr. Lloyd George said during that controversy was mildness itself compared with the incendiary language of leading Tories on the Home Rule qesution. If the Tories think it right to fight in Ireland over a measure which they detest, how can it be wrong for the workers to fight in England to get redress of their grievances? Let the Cecil section of the Tories, the physical force section, take the beam out of their own eye before they attempt to take the mote out of the Trade Union eye. No; the causes of the strike lie deeper than platform talk, however heated. To find some of these causes one has only to read Mr. Ramsay MacDon- ald's new book, "The Socialist Movement," a book written with outstanding ability and displaying profound insight into the economic situation as it exists today. One great cause of the unrest is the unequal distribution of the national income. Mr. Mal- lock, who is an apologist for the capitalist class, has tabulated figures on this point. Mr. MacDonald presses him into his service as follows:—"Mr. Mallock has to admit that 350,000 families, containing 1,750,000 persons, have a total family income of £30 per annum., which works out at a fraction over 2s. 3d. per head per week, from whicii everything has to be paid. There are in addition 1,200,- 000 with an average family income of £94 per annum. In this figure Mr. Mallock includes the incomes of the members of those families who are living out as domestic servants. Without them the income is £71, or about 6s. per head per week, an altogether unsatisfactory figure, and a somewhat miserable one even if it were earned by a single breadwinner." Under a Guinea Per Week More reliable than Mr. Mallock's are the figures of Mr. Booth and Mr. Rowntree, to which Mr. MacDonald also refers. Mr. Booth found 35.2 per cent, of the people of the North of London living on a family income of under a guinea per week, and Mr. Rowntree found that of the people of York nearly thirty per cent, were living in poverty. No one denies that there has been improvement in working class conditions, but even in the matter of wages die improvement of several years ago has not been maintained. On this point Mr. MacDonald, quoting from Board of Trade figures, shows at the end of 1909, amongst the larger groups of Labour, excluding agricultural labourers, seamen, and railway servants, nearly £100,000 per week less were paid in wages than in 1900, whilst increases in 1910 only improved the 1909 figures by £14,000, so that the workers today are still well over £80,000 per week less well off in respect to wages than they were in 1900, Another causes of the unrest whicii calls for notice is the changed relations between masters and men by the limited liability system, which has cut in two the old personal tie. In the old clays masters and men came into daily contact, and, as in the case of Robert Owen and John Bright, in times of dull trade the works were run at a loss, so that the men would not be the losers. Now, when orders run out, the first consideration is the effect on the dividends. The interest of the shareholders, not the workers, is the prime consideration, and thus intimations are at once issued to discharge hundreds of men, who go to swell the large army of the unemployed. When he looks around the worker finds large numbers of his fellows employed by Municipalities, with good wages, steady employment, and pensions, and his mind naturally turns to the question of the Muni- A Paradise for Workers He wants the State in some way to come between him and the huge capitalistic combinations. In other words, he wants to get the State to aid him in freeing Labour, just as the manufacturers sixty years ago got the State to aid them in freeing trade. Over and above that, the spread of education has made the working classes more acutely sensitive of the hardness of their lot. Education creates new desires and fosters a spirit of discontent. In presence of the glittering display of the rich, they ask why they should be compelled to remain in the position of hewers of wood and drawers of water to idlers who do nothing but eat, drink, and make merry on the unearned increment. Rightly or wrongly the workers cherish feelings of bitterness towards the capitalists, who are now reaping a harvest of retribution for their heartless despotism in the day EVEN WITH DUTY U. S. APPLES FLOOD WESTERN MARKETS If apples are already being dumped upon the Winnipeg market by U. S. fruit growers, what will happen to the hapless Canadian grower if reciprocity goes through? The query naturally rises from the statement made by President Elmer Lake at the meeting of representatives of the Co-operative Association of Fruit Growers of Ontario at the Toronto Exhibition lately. Mr. Lake said that the Winnipeg apple market was being fairly flooded by apple., from the United States.- "J. J. Hill has reduced the freight rate on apples from Arkansas and Missouri to Winnipeg by one-third the former rate. That serves to equalize the 40 per cent, duty so that the United States producers can compete there with Canadian products," he declared. Mr. Templeman is trying to bribe the constituency with a $3,000,000 breakwater to Brotchie Ledge. Mr. Sorby, the Secretary of the Harbour Commission, says it would be of no use. Which is right? The Full Dinner Pail A Liberal Seer Who, for many a year, Had been having his will in the land, Met a Wise Workingman With a full dinner can And grasped him with warmth by the hand. Said the Liberal Seer To the Workman: "Look here, "Reciprocity'll benefit you. "If you vote for the pact "Rest assured, it's a fact "You will cut your expenses in two." Said the Wise Workingman With the full dinner can: "I reckon I'll stick by the Crown. "Reciprocity may "Help my living today— "But my wages would also come down!" Said the Liberal Seer With a trace of a sneer: "What matter if living is cheaper?" Said the Wise Workingman: "If I struck to your plan "In the mire I'd sink deeper and deeper." Now, the Seer has his say And the Workman his pay And a mighty nice home in the town. And we know how he'll vote For he wisely took note That his wages would have to come down I of their power. Capitalists complain of the present Government for its legislation on behalf of the poor .They dislike what they term the grandmotherly schemes of Mr. Lloyd George. Had they done their duty, had they followed the noble example of Robert Owen, who transformed his works at New Lanark into a paradise by treating his workers as human beings and using his surplus profits for their elevation in the scale of being, there would have been no need for Lloyd George. In my book, "A Century of Political Development," published three years ago, I made some remarks Which, in view of recent events, have a ring of prophecy. I said: "Whether we like it or not —and some of us do not like it and see social and industrial anarchy ahead—we are on the eve of a revolution. Let the capitalist class take warning. Unless they give greater prominence to their duties, ancl be less anxious about their rights, they will find themselves face to face with another revolution—an economic revolution. It will be bloodless; it will be fought with political weapons; but before it is over it will shake the industrial world to its foundations." Coming events are assuredly casting WHAT EDWARD BLAKE SAID The opinion of Mr. Edward Blake, who left his party because he saw that Unrestricted Reciprocity meant Annexation, is worth considering at this crisis. He said, in his famous letter to the Liberal Convention of West Durham: "Whatever you or I may think on that head, whether we like or dislike, believe or disbelieve, in political union, must we not agree that the subject is one of great moment towards the practical settlement of which we should take no serious step without reflecting on, or in ignorance of what we are doing? Assuming that absolute free trade with the States, best described as commercial union, may and ought to come, I believe that it can and should come only as an incident, or at any rate as a well-understood precursor of political union, for which indeed we would be able to make better terms before than after the surrender of our commercial independence. Then, so believing—believing that the decision of the trade question involves that of the constitutional issue for whicii we are unprepared and with which you do not conceive yourselves to be dealing—how can I properly recommend you now to decide Full Information for the Workingman In the face of a common danger, menaced men get together and take common counsel. At the present moment, a common danger menaces every man who depends for his profits or his wages upon a Canadian industry. It is no more than common sense, then, that these men—employers and employes—should get together and come to a mutual understanding as to the situation which confronts them. This is no time for the most secretive "master" to stand on his dignity. His men have as many rights as he has. The workingman or the book-keeper, whose job is at stake, has as much to lose—if not more— than the manager or stockholder or President of the Company. The managers of our industries should lose uo time in taking their men fully into their confidence. If they see storms ahead which are likely to dismantle or wreck the ship upon whicii they are all embarked, they should warn the crew; for, in this case, the crew can lend signal and decisive assistance in averting the storm. This they should do for their own sakes, for the sake of their men, for the sake of the country. It must be remembered, too, that the employes of an industry cannot, in fairness, be asked to take their employer's word for the imminence of the danger. There is an election in progress in this country; and the heads of manufacturies may be suspected of having "party leanings" as well as the rest of us. If they depend upon their "say so" in dealing with the men, they run the risk of being suspected of trying to deceive them into casting a party vote, and they leave themselves open to this insinuation from the canvassers of the opposing candidate. The way to escape this peril, finally and fully, is to be perfectly frank with the man whose job is in danger. He must not only be told that the menace is there; but he must be told what tiie menace is, why it is a menace, and in what way it will cripple the industry upon which he depends for his wages. In two words, he must be given complete information upon whicii to make up his mind for himself. Then he can decide as an intelligent citizen which way he desires to vote. ifi , j-JC >fi afC 3(s We began by saying that, in this matter, the workingman has as many rights as his employer. We do not take that back. But we propose to amplify it by saying that, in this matter, it is even more important that the workingman be convinced of the danger than that the employer be convinced. The reason is clear. The employer has one vote. The men in his employ may have a thousand. This is a case in which the safety of the ship rests with the crew. In nine cases out of ten—in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred—the reverse is true. When it comes to a question of markets, of prices, of machinery, of methods, of selling devices, of all the manifold ramifications of a big business by which the product of the workingman's toil is turned into money, the employer is the man who must do the judging. He must decide which is the best course to take. He is an expert in planning his work and marketing his goods. That is his business. That is his contribution to the success of "the works." But, in this hundredth case, the employer ceases to be the important man. Knowing all the details of the business and the intricacies of the markets, he can see the effect of such a change as Reciprocity would bring, much more clearly than men confined to one part of the productive work. The danger is plain to him; but he cannot save the ship. Let him turn the helm as he will, the vessel will go to disaster if the men do not join in and save it. He is the expert navigator; he knows the shoals ancl he is weather-wise; but this is an instance in which the ship must liter- no better at the oar than the wc paid man in his employ. * sts * * * We are apt to think chiefly of I loss which the closing of an indu;| brings to its owners.
