No. 39 THE WEEK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 36, 1907 One Dollar Per Annum The time has come Keir Hardie, when it will be necessary Socialist. throughout the British Empire to undertake a campaign in order to check the mischief arising from the propaganda of the Socialists. In England an organization has been formed for this purpose, and branches are to be established in every city and town. In Canada Socialism has made but little headway because the conditions which constitute its "raison d'etre" do not exist, but at one or two points, notably Winnipeg, Vancouver, Victoria and Nanaimo, it seems to have attracted a sufficient number of adherents to demand a measure of public attention. It is not the intention of The Week to discuss the principles of Socialism in this column. A special series of articles is in course of preparation, and will shortly appear dealing with the whole subject in a compre- Ihensive manner. It will suffice now to Isay that not only The Week, but every [newspaper and journal, except perhaps a I few which are owned by corporations, I sympathize with every effort to improve lthe conditions under which manual labour lis performed, ancl to secure such remun- jeration as will enable the working-man Ito live comfortably and make provision for la rainy day. To admit this, however, is I not to endorse the methods of Socialist [organizations. These have shown too clearly that they are the irreconcilable enemies lof Law and Order. They wage an inces- Isant war against capital, they declare ■themselves iconoclasts, determined to break [down all existing social institutions, but Ithey offer no constructive policy. The l"reductio ad absurdum" of their position Iwas well illustrated in the speech which |Mr. Keir Hardie delivered in Victoria a couple of months ago. Among other extravagant statements he declared that he was apposed to any kind of immigration into [British Columbia, and any kind of emigration from the United Kingdom. He pould keep the Oriental out of Canada, but he would not allow the white man to fcome in. Why . Because the more people (remained in England, the greater would be the poverty and misery ancl the stronger the case for Socialism. A man who could |iold such views can only be regarded as dangerous fanatic. He may be perfectly ^incere, in which case hc is all the more dangerous. It is possible that the Socialists of Victoria were encouraged in their policy of hostility to immigration by these remarks, although since then every leader pf public thought who has visited the ^oast lias agreed with the policy whicli [Kipling lias crystalized in a sentence, that he only remedy for Oriental immigration is to "pump the whites in." The kVeek is inclined to think that the working Inen at the coast have too much intelligence and understand the situation too well 10 be influenced seriously by Mr. Hardie. If any evidence were needed that Mr. llardie is a dangerous man, who should lie repudiated by all classes, it is furnished Tiy his extraordinary conduct in India, lust how much mischief can be worked py folly may be gathered from a perusal lif the reports of his meetings and addresses. Although a British subject and a r-Jpffesentative in the House of Commons |in has made himself a party to a seditious movement among the native Hindoos, and [ins delivered inflammatory speeches urging thorn to oppose British rule. Any man ■vho could condone such conduct is either grossly ignorant of the history of the Em- Jiire, or is incapable of grasping the significance and vital importance of the main- lenance of British rule in India. Amongst EDITORIAL English residents and loyal natives there has been a loud demand for his deportation, and by the irony of fate he who was once the Prince of Little Englanders, John Morley, is called upon to deal with the situation. Any suggestion to curtail the liberty of the Press or the freedom of speech, is distasteful to a British subject. But it has been done many a time in the public interest, and when a member of the British Parliament preaches treason, and becomes an incendiary in a country full of inflammable material the average man will find it difficult to understand why the same measure of even-handed justice should not be dealt out to him, as to natives of India who have been incarcerated for treasonable practices. The British Government can be trusted to deal with the matter both fairly ancl firmly; and surely it is not too much to hope that the common sense of Canadians of all classes will lead them to condemn the conduct of a man who shows such utter disregard for Imperial interests, and to denounce the policy of which he is one of the foremost advocates. The Sealing Fleet. In the last issue of The Week our staff member, "The Lounger," made some severe strictures upon the competency of Captain Whidden and the condition of the Victoria Sealing Company's fleet. Since these strictures appeared mate Collinson, upon whose knowledge of navigation the crew depended for verification of their charges under the first heading, has been promoted to the position of Captain on another of the Company's vessels, ancl has written a letter to the Company, denying the accuracy of the charges. The AVeek has interviewed Captain Whidden on the one hand, ancl members of the crew on the other, and being thoroughly satisfied with the result of the investigation, begs to state that it stands by every word which the "Lounger" wrote referring to the victualing of the vessel and the sleeping accommodation, ancl considers that both were a disgrace to the Victoria Sealing Company, who must be held responsible. With respect to the charge of incompetency against Captain Whidden, the statement of the crew is that it was a matter of common conversation that thc vessel was out of her course some sixty to eighty miles, also that the catch of seals on that trip, amounting to 440 odd, was exceptionally low in consequence. Pressed as to how they knew that they were out of their course they could only say that, being ignorant of navigation, they relied on the superior knowledge of mate Collinson who concurred. As his evidence is no longer available, it is clear that the charge against Captain Whidden cannot be sustained, and as he has been the holder of a Master Certificate for twenty-five years, it is only fair to give him the benefit of the doubt, and to make this admission. With the Sealing Company, however, it is an entirely different matter. The character of the accommodation provided on the vessels of their fleet has been condemned nn previous occasions, and Tho Week will continue to expose it until the defects complained of are remedied as far as is reasonably practicable. A member of the Sealing Company called upon The Week and complained that such criticism was injurious to the Company and that the popular impression that large profits were being made was an entirely mistaken one. The Week fails to see what this has to do with the question, ancl cannot think that any man would seriously contend that inhuman treatment of employees is a venial offence under any circumstances. Every loyal Canadian will endorse the policy of bringing the "flag" into Teaching Patriotism. greater prominence, and teaching the principles of loyalty and patriotism in our public schools. This statement was voiced in certain resolutions adopted by the Victoria Canadian Club last AVednesday. The AVeek would like to see the Union Jack waving over every schoolhouse in the British Empire. But in any event it is highly desirable, in view of thc cosmopolitan character of our new population, that every settler in Canada should be confronted by the outward ancl visible sign of Imperial rule. Of scarcely less importance is it that Canadian scholars should be taught English History. One of the speakers truly declared that in the present curriculum of Canadian schools there is no place for this. The authorities have proceeded upon the same narrow lines which govern so-called education in the States, one of the principal features of whicli is, the ignoring of English History, and the glorification ancl ridiculous exaggeration of incidents which have occurred upon the American continent. Such teaching finds no place for the great historic events which determined the future of the Anglo-Saxon race. It takes no account of the victories which secured new worlds for colonization, or new charters of liberty. The sun rises and sets in the AVestern Hemisphere! In these days, when for the first time the Imperial leaven is working, ancl we see the dawn- ings of a veritable renaissance in Imperial life, it is fitting that there should be an awakening of public sentiment in favour of a readjustment of the school curriculum, and the abandonment of a system which is keeping our children in ignorance of the deeds which won the Empire, and the cause for whicli tlieir fathers died. As Archdeacon Pentreath appositely remarked, there is other work for Canadian Clubs, than the entertaining of illustrious visitors; and the practical departure made by the Victoria Club is one which should be copied by every branch in the Dominion. furnishes very amusing reading oscillating as the writer does between an attempt to save his face, and a desire to placate Canadian settlers of English origin. For instance, he asks "To whom, or what are the Erench-Canadians expected to be loyal. To the King certainly, as the head of the nation, not as the head of the United Kingdom, but of all countries over which the British flag flies." Further on the writer doubts if French-Canadians ever take the trouble to analyze their sentiments on the subject. He thinks they accept existing conditions as settled, and have no desire to change them, ancl "this is about all loyalty amounts to nowadays anyway, ancl is what British loyalty has been in thc last analysis ever since Magna Charta was signed." The writer's 'last analysis" is delicious; he declares that French-Canadian patriotism is to Quebec first, and to Canada because Quebec is a part of Canada. "Probably in the case of a great majority of them, the feeling does not extend far enough to embrace the British Empire because Canada is a part of it." To all of which the loyal Canadian, to say nothing of the loyal Britisher, will be inclined to say " in the name of the prophetTigs'." To which may be added, that a writer who knows so little about French-Canadian sentiment, ancl who has repeatedly demonstrated his incapacity to grasp Imperial ideas might with advantage to the readers of the Colonist depute thc treatment of such topics to some member of the staff who is both "loyal" and "patriotic." Both Britishers and Canadians entertain a not unreasonable objection to take their lessons in Imperialism from one who changes his nationality on the same principle as his politics, because it pays. Financial Panic. French Canadians. For reasons which are not very obvious, the Colonist, undertook on Thursday last to lecture tlie Special Correspondent of the London Morning Post on his appraisement of French-Canadian loyalty. Thc AVeek has on many occasions found fault with the half-hearted support given by the Colonist to Imperial interests. It writes on all such subjects without conviction, and in such a perfunctory manner as to suggest that the performance is much more in the nature of a duty than a pleasure. When all English-speaking peoples are seized of the great Imperial idea promulgated sn successfully by Mr. Chamberlain, the Colonist deprecates the suggestion that the loyalty of the French-Canadians is something due to the United Kingdom. It considers that such an idea is too suggestive of dependence. The whole article All the world knows that the present week has seen the culmination of a financial panic in Wall Street which at one time threatened to be disastrous, ancl which has carried the price of securities down to a level lower than was reached in 1893 when it was considered that the bottom had been knocked out of things. In the panic quite a number of Trust Companies and several banks have had to close their doors. Among these, by far the most conspicuous is the Knickerbocker Trust, an old Dutch institution which was considered financially impregnable. These failures have not been confined to Xow York. Chicago, Pittsburg and Philadelphia have been involved. How many individual failures will follow throughout the States is a matter of conjecture, but, certain it is that widespread disaster will bc felt. Meanwhile, it is both instructive and comforting to note that Britisli Securities have not been affected. Tt is not long since American papers were loudly declaring that the financial sceptre had passed across thc Atlantic, and that Xew York was now the money centre of the world. Tn this connection it may fitly be dubbed the "storm centre," and that is all. It, cannnt be too emphatically insisted on that AATill Street nn Innger represents, in its varying phases, the financial condition of the United States. It has developed more nnd mere into 11 professional gambling hell where the prices nf listed securities arc manipulated at every session by experts whose solo object is to catch trailers nn margins. As these margins are always small, a movement of a few points, up or down, extinguishes them. This is the game as it is played daily.

"The Second Mrs. Tanqueray," which will bc Olga Nethersole's offering at the Victoria Theatre in this city on Tuesday evening next, undoubtedly marked an epoch in modern stage history when it received its first presentation in London at the St. James' Theatre fourteen years ago. The influence of the realistic drama has been felt in no uncertain manner for several years, but "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray" solidified and crystalized the movement and set a standard for the modern ethical drama. The play is, undoubtedly, the masterpiece, the corner-stone of the fame of A. VV. Pinero, England's greatest playwright. The name of Olga Nethersole has for several years been closely identified with "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray" and her performance of the role of Paula, the heroine, is said to be one of her great achievements. Whenever she is announced to appear in thc play an over-crowded house is invariably the rule, and many people are attracted to witness her remarkable analysis of a complicated role who may not be in sympathy with other plays in the famous actress's repertoire. As showing the disappointments of an actress it is interesting to know that "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray" was originally conceived, constructed and written by the gifted author for his specific stock company at the time playing at the Garrich Theatre, London. The company included Mr. John Hare, Mr. Forbes Robertson, Miss Kate Rorke, and Miss Olga Nethersole, and Mr. A. W. Pinero set himself the task of providing a play to fit the personalities of these artists. It would not bc fair, of course, to suggest that "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray" is a machine-made play, but it is an undoubted fact that the four artists above named were in thc mind of Mr. Pinero when he was writing the play. When it was completed and ready to be put on, Mr. Hare, the maneger of thc Stock Company, was very much alarmed at the breadth of thought indicated and rebelled at its acceptance, finally refusing it. Mr. Pinero held tlie manuscript for a period, when Mr. Alexander of the St. James Theatre heard about it and read it, and while not having thc courage to announce it as permanent dramatic fare, decided, with the permission of the author, to present it at a series of special matinees. Miss Nethersole, still a members of the Garrick Theatre Stock Company, was approached by Mr. Alexander about appearing at these special matinees to create thc role of Paula. He secured Mr. Hare's permission and arrangements were accordingly made. In the meantime the St. James Theatre play, "Liberty Hall," had demonstrated that it hail overstayed its welcome. The season was only half advanced and Mr. Alexander faced thc problem of not having any play for the balance of the season. It was at this time that he determined to brave the risk of public opinion and produce "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray" not tentatively at matinees, but for a run. Miss Nethersole had, in the meantime, achieved a prodigious triumph at the Garrick Theatre in a new role, and her manager flatly declined to release her from her engagement. Mr. Alexander could not wait for another and after superlative efforts succeeded in finding an unknown lady whose personality might admit of her attempting the role of Paula. Subsequent dramatic history tells us that the lady in question, Mrs. Patrick Campbell, succeeded in making a phenomenal hit, and the actress for whom the play was intended was obliged to wait until she came to America before she could appear as Paula and so corne into her own. Miss Glen Switzer. The audience seemed loth to part with her and insisted on numerous encores of "So Long, Mary." With proper training this young lady will develop into a splendid entertainer. On Monday evening an organ recital was given in St. Andrew?s Church which proved a great attraction to music lovers of every denomination. The church was crowded, every seat on the floor and gallery being occupied. The organ is a new one and is said to have cost $5,000. lt is a fine instrument, particularly pleasing in tone, though probably lacking a little in volume. In addition to several selections which were well played upon the organ there were violin solos by Mr. Benedict Bantly, and two vocal solos by Mrs. Bantly. The choir sang the "Credo," and Mozart's "Gloria." The gem of the evening, however, was Miss Sehl's rendering of Gounod's sacred song, "Entreat Me Not to Leave Thee." Every time I hear Miss Sehl my astonishment increases at the apparent lack of appreciation on the part of Victorians of one of the finest singers I have heard at the coast. Singers with not a tithe of Miss SchTs ability and with ten times her pretensions are brought here from American cities and in the majority of instances they fail to give satisfaction. Victoria, if it only knew, it has in Miss Sehl an oratoria singer of high rank. Theatregoers will have good entertainment in Victoria next week. "Raffles" comes on Monday with all the eclat of a London success, and on Tuesday the connoisseurs will have an opportunity of comparing the work of Miss Olga Nethersole in "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray," with that of Mrs. Patrick Campbell. There are some good judges who prefer the former. My own opinion is that on the whole there is little to choose, each excelling in certain features. I think it may be summed up in this sentence; Mrs. Campbell's portrayal is more psychological; Miss Nethersole's, more human. The New Grand, Victoria. This afternoon Mr. Jamieson has arranged to give two matinees, to ac- swarming with parrots, cockatoos, macaws and parroquets, who all in turn went through some clever trick, apparently with the keenest enjoyment. It is a sight which one will probably only see once in a life-time. Sam Goldman as a Hebrew singer and dancer is very good, and his quaintness in his dancing turn, in which he introduces one or two new steps, brought the house down. Edward Kellie and Sidonne Dixon have an exceptionally amusing comedy entitled "His First Home-coming," showing the trials which a man has to put up with when he marries the modern girl, who can sing and play, but can't cook. Carl Herbert styles himself "The Man of Mystery," but he presents nothing original; at least I did not see anything which I have not seen many times before. "The Wise Mr. Finnegan" likewise give a comic sketch, in the course of which the man, who is very clever on the piano and gives some excellent imitations, contrives to dance and play at the same time. The moving pictures are of the humorous type. the man lies the great secret of his tremendous magnetism. For assuredly S. Miller Kent leads and likes the simple life. In the drawing rooms of every city in every land, both sides j of the sea, hc would be eagerly welcomed. Besides being well born, j good to look upon and a celebrity, he is clever, versed on many topics of | more than passing interest. Yet the idea of being known as a society man is but a shade more congenial to him than that of being called a "matinee idol." On Tuesday evening at the Victoria Theatre the popular comedy-drama, "A Message From Mars," was presented. Thc excellent quality of this play always attracts a large audience and Tuesday was no exception, the house was sold out. The company all along was not equal to that which appeared here last year. Wallace Widdecombe, however, was a notable exception, his work being little, if any, inferior to that of Charles Haw- trey. Mis support was weak, the ladies in particular being amateurish in the extreme. The star attraction at thc above is the marvellous juggling of the Gag- noux, all of whose tricks, with one exception, appear to be entirely original. Their skill is phenomenal, and comes up to any juggling I have seen. The Cox family, consisting of three young girls, a boy and "The Professor," have been making a great hit in their singing and dancing act, and have been encored every time they appeared. The Spray Sisters arc very dainty dancers, and in their second part the whirlwind dance is excellently performed. J. T. Dervin is a good ventriloquist and successfully assays to make his puppets sing, which they do remarkably well, The moving pictures give a representation of an automobile race at Dieppe. A leather medal has been subscribed for and will be presented this evening to Mr. Denliam for his "Act of Valour" in turning down Marjory Rambeau and her company of freaks.

By common consent amateur performances are exempt from Press criticism; I will therefore content myself with saying that while the entertainment was amusing it was far below thc standard of Mr. Evan's previous productions in this city.

Miller Kent, who comes to the Victoria Theatre Monday, Oct. 28, in "Raffles, the Amateur Cracksman," has always fought shy of the title of "Matinee Idol"—a title which, by the way, the New York papers coined for him. The idea of a lot of silly girls going "daffy" over him, while they munched caramels and talked adjectives, would be extremely distasteful to him. "Just the same," says a Boston newspaper woman, who interviewed him recently, "if he sat in an easy, conversational pose, resting one cheek on his palm and giving one moment a picture of his perfectly chiseled profile and the next a calm glance from his wonderful big eyes, the girls would have to crown him anyway.. With his silvery white hair, his exquisitely regular features, his indescribable eyes, now gray, now green, now almost black, his heavy eyebrows and healthy tan cheeks which comes from the sea and out door life, S. Miller Kent is even handsomer off the stage than on. His voice, with its musical cadence, always perfectly modulated, rests and soothes and holds the hearer. The accent is charming, the clean-cut enunciation a delight. "In the response and simplicity of WEEK 28TH OCTOBEB. The New Grand SULLIVAN * CORSIDINE, Proprietors. M»n»g*m.nt of MBT. JAMIESON.

Stopping on the way Ito have a look at my old friends the Ibirds and beasts and fishes, I was ■struck with the wretched appearance lof the birds and animals, sadly depleted in numbers, sitting or standing about most dejectedly, mournful evidences of unsanitary, uncongenial environment. The eagles, typical of (freedom, sat on perches in a narrow ■wired pen, lack-lustre eye and bedraggled wings mutely testifying that |ife held to the body only by its abnormal tenacity, the cockatoos, shivering in perpetual shade and dampness, made one long to take them Dut and warm them up. A poor solitary vulture sat dozing and dreaming as though he were Hesketh Prit- Ichard's scquestradorc chieftain longing for his mountain home. Don Q |n irons; poor fellow! A wretched lynx paced the length af his cage, back and forth, back and Jtorth, like a spirit striving to be free, lind more pathetic still was to see liim lying asleep, as though tired to lleath of his nearly unceasing sentry duty. The only happy family was Ihat of the Guinea Pigs, and they Ivill thrive and be happy anywhere ■md at all times. The deer and Inposc, being in a larger enclosure, looked better, but a glance at the pear pits filled one with a feeling bf commiseration, for the poor, un- pappy beasts confined there. Bear Pits! What inhuman vandal tver suggested the idea of placing pears in a pit in the earth? Anyone vho knows these animals in their Jiative state and haunts, knows that lhey are the freest roaming, most unconfined of nature's children. The bear ranges at will over high, breezy mountain sides, cools his thrist in clear springs, lives on the cleanest and sweetest of vegetables and fruits —very seldom flesh—and when resting time comes, seeks his open couch of moss and sweet leaves, in some open, unconfined space where he can feel the cool breezes at all times, and only in the depth of the most rigorous winter does he seek confinement of any sort whatever. What reason then can be given for providing the poor creatures in the park with accommodation so different in all conditions from those that nature intended? Surely it would be an act of mercy to put an end to suffering such as these animals endure by death if not liberation, unless indeed, proper aviaries be built, and more natural conditions be afforded the mammals. It is an impossibility to artificially provide wild birds and beasts with conditions of life such as they themselves choose in a free state, and certain wild creatures will not exist under the most careful treatment in confinement, and the best we can do is to provide them with food and habitations as nearly as possible like those they have been accustomed to thrive with. Certainly there is no attempt at this state of things in the Beacon Hill Park. After all, the lives of these poor creatures is, to a great extent, a reflection of human life in Victoria, in artificiality and unveality. Pray don't imagine I am going to moralize; anything I ever say to cause you to put your hands to your ears, my good friend in The Week sanctum kindly runs through with a blue pencil, and some copy does look horribly blue after his treatment, it must be confessed. No! what I was going to say was that a person coining to Victoria from elsewhere is, if of an observant nature, quickly puzzled to know what a very large proportion of the populace does to win its bread, let alone the butter. There are no large industries of any kind such as are in many other towns, and in the majority of cases the production of such small concerns as do exist, are consumed in the city itself, and not exported. There are exceptions, but it is doubtful if any concern manufacturing in the city of Victoria today, ever ships any of its products outside the Province of British Columbia. She is no longer the distributing point for the entire country as of old; she has no great extent of farming country at her back, as Northwest towns havc. What then, is there to do for the surplus population that has lately filled up every available living space? Will this last? Can it continue? These and similar questions are what the business man of Victoria should ask himself, and having asked, answer in words of bald, unvarnished truth, and having thus told himself the truth —however bitter—cast about for a remedy, else one day he will find himself a denizen of a town of lethal somnolence, where certain rich "residents" put in a few months of thc year for the sake of the climate and the scenery, both of which, while good for the rich, are mightly unsatisfying for the great army of working men and women who go to make up a great city. How different were there huge steel works at, say, Esquimalt, where ships of greatest tonnage could safely enter, load precious cargoes, and go forth to the four corners of thc earth. Then note thc change in Victoria! This is one tap on the gong, and having struck it I shall stop, leaving you, my readers, to study out the possibilities, for by so doing the idea will strike far more deeply in your minds than by any elaboration of pen and paper, and if the man with personality strong enough can ever induce the people of wealth in the city of Victoria to loosen their grips on their bags of scudi in the interest of an enterprise like that, then will Victoria be a city, her dolce far niente citizens will be made to sit up and rub their eyes, and her real estate men, boomers and grafters rejoice exceedingly. Yours, P. PEPPERGRASS. Cow's Stays. A quaint little game of cross purposes was played at a well-known Calcutta draper's last week. An up- country sportsman, who bad come down for the Monsoon Races, had ere leaving his 'appy 'ome been entrusted by his wife wilh the usual long list of "commissions," amongst them being a pair of corsets of a particular brand. Entering Messrs. Black- away and Sandrewson's palatial establishment he was lirst waited on by a pretty little Eurasian assistant who inquired, "What can I get for you, sir-r," in melodious Chcc-Chee. "Er—um—I want a pair of cow's stays," was the answer. The dusky little maiden emitted a smothered shriek and fled to the English forewoman, who came over to thc customer and inquired, "What goods do you require, sir? I'm afraid the young lady who waited on you just now did not quite understand." "Well, I don't know why she didn't," was the rejoinder. "I said plain enough that I wanted a pair of cow's stays." The shoplady's jaw fell in astonishment, and blushing deeply she also disappeared to find Mr. Blackaway or his locum tenens. This worthy being duly discovered, approached the would-be purchaser, and said: "I'm very sorry, Sir, but our people can't quite make out what you want. Do you mind telling me? I hope wc will he able to supply it." "Oh, certainly. I want, as I've just told botli those young women, a pair of cow's stays." "Cow's stays!" I've never heard of such things. I hope you haven't come here to insult my assistants," was thc testy ejaculation. "Oh, dear no, not at all," drawded thc mofusillitc; "I came to buy what you're advertising in your catalogue. 1 don't want stays for a cow, thc animal, but a pair of C—O—VV—E—S stays for my wife—'price ten-eight, specially reduced to six-eight.' 1 suppose they're called after the yachting place, donchcr know, just the same as my hat is called a llom- burg hat after Homburg." Aud then tliere were smiles, and the desideratum was produced— "Asian." She Gave Him One Back. Last week there was related in this column a little joke on a lady who got the wrong number on the telephone, and had to stand some chaffing from a practical joker. Here's another little take of a joke on thc joker. A clever young man in a downtown office, who prided himself on bis ready wit, answered thc phone, and when asked if it was "So and So's shop," replied as lie had often done before: "No, Miss, this is the morgue." "The girl at the other end of thc wire came back at him like a flash, "Yes, I thought won wcre a dead one." The young man tried no more smart sayings for a week. Miss White of Hawaii, who has been spending several months at "Roccahella," left on Thursday evening for Vancouver for a short visit. THE WEEK, SATURDAY OCTOBER 26, 1907 Notes on Provincial News A Palatial Restaurant. Everybody who has travelled in the West recognizes the scarcity of first-class restaurants. There are a few good ones in Victoria and Vancouver, notably the Poodle Dog in the former and the Strand in the latter. These are as good as can be expected, or maintained, in cities containing from thirty to sixty thousand people. The Rathskeller in Seattle is unique and easily the best in any city on the Pacific Coast, but of all thc restaurants in the West there is no doubt that Davenport's in Spokane is entitled to the palm. My only reason for mentioning this is, first because so excellent an institution is entitled to recognition, and because it furnishes an apt illustration that the better the institution, the more patronage it gets and the more profit it makes. In support of this view the following eminent authority is quoted: "Elbert Hubbard, the noted traveler and author, has pronounced Davenport's restaurant in Spokane the finest eating house west of New York. It covers a block, and represents an investment of a little over a quarter of a million dollars. Davenport often feeds 5,000 people a day. The yearly receipts are $400,000 and the net profits are $65,000. is no way of getting away from them and being satisfied. They are with us when we are born, by our side in the rain and sunshine of life, and forgotten indeed is the man at whose grave some woman does not drop a flower moistened with tears. Love is the grand passion of life, and the stakes are high. He who loses in the game feels worse than 30 cents, and often he who wins in a short time hasn't got 30 cents. But no matter how often man loses, it is not long before he is out prospecting for another Juliet. Ever ready, as it wcre, to toy with that which gives the greatest joy or the deepest anguish of anything on earth, except, perhaps, the wine that is red in the glass, but blue in your upper stope. years ago. Nothing is so effective as a deterrent, and while human nature remains what it is, no substitute will be found. A Champion Prize Winner. Keremeos occupies a high place in the prize list of the Westminster Fair. Frank Richter, with a comparatively small number of exhibits, captured 23 prizes. Next year more of our fruit growers should have an interest in making up exhibits. An Erotic Incident. By Agnes Cumberland. Fernie Prospering. An evidence of the prosperity of the Coal City, Fernie, is the establishment there of another bank, making three. The latest arrival is the Home Bank of Canada which makes a specialty of working men's accounts. It is the particular of the t.ntac-..- It is the particular friend of the small depositor and will no doubt be a popular institution in such a thriving community. Squirming. The "Saturday Sunset" is squirming these days all because the "Province" has told it a few plain truths, the principal one of which is that papers which wrote ignorant and impassioned articles are responsible for the riots which brought such discredit to Vancouver. The "Sunset" may protest as much as it likes, but this is the simple truth, and of all the papers which contributed to this disgrace the "Sunset" was the most violent. It sowed to the wind, and it is now reaping to the whirlwind. It played the game of Liberal and Socialist agitators in ignorance of the fact that it was being used as a catspaw. Having shifted its ground several times it is now gradually settling down to the policy which The Week advised it to follow in the first instance: advocacy of white immigration. This is a complete "volte face" for a paper which began by supporting the trades unions in their opposition to the importation of white labour, but it had to be done. There is nothing funnier in B. C. journalism than to see thc "Sunset" twit the "Province" with sitting on the fence. Water Powers. Editor Grace of the Cranbrook Herald is rendering a service to Kootenay by calling attention to the fact that there are two magnificent water powers near Cranbrook which could easily be harnessed to the industries of the district, but which have not yet been developed. He points out that on Bull River there is a fall of 250 feet in less than a mile with a volume of water estimated at 12,000 miners' inches at low water equal to the development of 10,000 horsepower. There is even greater energy than this running to waste at Elk River Canyon, and meanwhile tens of thousands of tons of coal are being consumed every year in the district for the production of steam, yielding less than twenty per cent, of potential energy. Some enterprising capitalists will yet reap a rich harvest in this direction. "Still in the Ring." According to the Moyie Leader W. A. Galliher finds the fascinations of political life too strong to resist, and in spite of the charms to which he has recently succumbed in another direction he is still coquetting with his old love, Kootenay: "\\? A. Galliher, M.P. for the Kootenays, was over to Cranbrook this week mingling with the faithful. He is to visit Movie shortly for thc same purpose, Galliher will be a candidate for re-election, so at least some of the Liberal papers say." A Profitable Mine. It is pleasant to note that the International Coal and Coke Co., of Coleman, Alberta, has declared its regular 2 per cent, quarterly dividend. Many Boundary people purchased stock in this company when it was launched by Messrs. Flumerfelt and Galer a few years ago, and those who kept their stock are now receiving, on the cost, dividends of from 15 to 20 per cent, per annum. A coal mine of merit seems to be worth as much or more than a gold mine in this day. Lowery on the Fair Sex. Adam has been dead many years and numbers think that he was no gentleman, although a member of the lirst families, because hc blamed his downfall upon a woman. However, Adam was outspoken, even if a coward, and right today, when men do wrong, wise detectives look for thc woman. To many there seems to be no living with or without women, lie- sides nearly every act of man, good or bad, there stands a woman. She is always in the play whether you see her or not. Blessed indeed is the man who has a noble woman for a partner, and doubly dammed is he who tics up to something that is only a fiend in feminine garb. A woman can place a man upon thc pinnacle of joy or shove him into thc lowest basement of a Gehenna. Half of the women on earth arc crazy, and thc balance are angels. However, there The Ghost Walks. The Rossland Miner has ceased to exist as a daily paper and will hereafter chronicle the doings of the Copper city once a week. Money would have been saved if this step had been taken long ago. Nelson is the only city in the Kootenay which could possibly support a daily paper ancl the present action of the "Miner" more than ever confirms it in its position of supremacy. It is far better to have one good daily paper in a district than a dozen weak ones struggling for existence. "Discretion is thc better part of valour" and the proprietor of the "Rossland Miner" can have but one regret in connection with his decision—that hc did not arrive at it earlier. Trouble With the Boys. Trouble with thc boys seems to be a chronic condition in Vancouver and strange to say those most complained of are regular attendants at thc public schools. Profanity, disorderly conduct, hazing, and smoking are thc faults enumerated, and hitherto thc police have been unable to cope successfully with the matter. Everyone knows that the rea! trouble is thc indifference of parents. If it is impossible to arouse them to any sense of their responsibility, the least that the magistrates should do is to make the punishment fit the crime. Bad boys should be flogged as they were "I confess," said the man gravely, "this is not the answer I expected. You let me go on loving " "Yes," she interrupted, "because I hated to hurt you " "That is cruel kindness," he told her gently. She did not reply. At last he rose. "Well?" said he. "Is there anything you wish to say?" "Yes—I hardly know how—" and she hesitated. He sat down again, and the constraint grew. "Don't sit and watch me with that reverential sort of regard," said she. "I suppose it is in the vain hope that I will say something." He smiled. "The reason I have kept waiting so long," said she, "was that I might become better acquainted with you. I felt, if only I could have found it out that I loved you, but everything was discouragingly impossible. I never loved anyone in my life. Yet I am called affectionate. I am not a hypocrite, but I do want to please, and I hate to wound anyone. So I am called fickle. Being loved does not satisfy nie. I want to do my share— Iwant to love the man who loves me. Love, in my dreams, is sure and select. The saddest thing I can think or dream of is that one can love more than once. This robs it of its oneness and its majesty and makes one's hope of an affinity just girlish senti- mentalism. I have thought a great deal about it; and I thought that if we saw each other every day and had common interests, that love might come some time. I am willing to take the risk if you are!" "No!" said he in a hard tone. Then he got up, moved away and turned his back to her. "That will not do. You might imagine possibilities not in me, find yourself tied to me and then find that you were disappointed." "I trust you implicitly. I would risk it," she repeated. I should feel quite secure with you." "Darling," said he, "you forget that you must do your share of caring. For a woman especially, a loveless marriage preverts all that is sweetest in her nature. A love that you must accept, and cannot return nor satisfy, is gall and wormwood. The more a man loves, the more he suffers. He cannot endure indifference. We are 1 born for love. It is the principle of existence and its only end. I will not help embitter your life. "1 thought," said she coldly, "I was so necessary to your happiness." She mistook thc look in his face. "I need not fail you. You don't know how really good-natured and obliging 1 am, and if you thought of my happiness, and I of yours, things would surely be all right." Once more the look shone in his eyes. "Don't! dear, don't!" he said with pain in his voice. "I never could be happy if my wife were wretched. Hc got up and paced the room. Don't say any more! You only make things more impossible for me to stay!" "Oh, it is all wrong! How we have missed each other!" she said in a baffled way. She gave him her hand, and they faced each other, until her eyes filled with tears and fell before tlie sorrow in his face. "Bood-bye," he said. "You have given me the bitterest and sweetest experience of my life. Do not reproach yourself. It isn't your fault that you do not love me, and it never harms a man, tho' it may hurt him, to love a good woman in vain. I shall not forget you; you havc taught me a new standard of values, and given Think of the number of typewriters that seemed popular a few years ago. Think of the different ones seeking public favor to-day. Then think of the Remington, which has been the standard since typewriters were invented, and lich maintains its supremacy ely through enduring merit.

"Why havc you talked to me like this to-night? Why were you not always like this? Do not leave me. I cannot bear it, for I love you—I love you." And in her eyes the light was shining that had shone for him in dreams. "Pay just what you like," said th parson. "Pay whatever you think it' worth to you." The young man looked bashfully . the clergyman and admiringly at h bride. "I'm sorry," he said, "but I'm 111 a millionaire." With the object of encouraging marriage, the clergyman of a country parish introduced a system of elastic fees, allowing thc bridegroom in each case to pay just what he liked. His receipts had varied from a cigarette paper to a five-pound note, and thc innovation was proving, 'on the whole, fairly successful. The other day he had just made a young couple man and wife, and had retired with them to the vestry to sign the register, when the bridegroom asked how much he was expected to pay. A cavalry officer who had by 1: men ns distinguished himself in tl South African war retired from tl service and built himself a villa : a remote spot on the coast of D voiishirc. He was showing' it to friend one day, and remarked; ""l'l one difficulty I have is about a nan for tlie house. I should like to li upon something suitable—somethit appropriate to my military caret you know." "I see," replied h friend, "then why not call it "Tl Retreat?"

At The Street $ Corner h By THE LOUNGER **%/*£ It has come to the ears of The Lounger that there is great loss of development on Queen Charlotte Island, owing to the inflated reports which have emanated from it as to the potential wealth in farming land, timber, and coal and copper mining. The information was vouchsafed by "Mexican Tom," known as "The Cattle King of Queen Charlotte Island," who is a well known figure in all the most important towns and cities on the West Coast, and who is an early pioneer. This gentleman says that a very large portion of the land in the north part of the Island is grossly overestimated, the greater part of it being similar to that of Lulu Island and the Delta Flats. As an instance of the exaggeration practised in this respect, he quoted an instance where a gentleman of his acquaintance, having arrived in Victoria with a fair sum of money, asked him to stake some land, which had been repre- ssented as being worth having, but which to the certain knowledge of "Mexican Tom" was nothing more than swamp and brush. Timber also has been "boosted" far beyond its possibilities, and the natural consequence is that all the "hot air" which has been wafted over to the Mainland and Vancouver Island, has resulted in the discouragement of many would- be settlers, who have noised their woes abroad. There are vast acreages of coal. Copper has proved a success—but to whom? To the Japanese; they made successful tests. It has been rumoured that sales have been made ranging anywhere between $50,000 and $1,- 500,000, but so far only the little brown men have succeeded in shipping a single pound of ore. With regard to the stock ranches, "Mexican Tom" is better fitted to speak than any other person wdio has ever been on the Island, In 1902 he Was sent by Mr. George Rudge of Port Simpson, to report on the wild cattle which had been imported there 17 years previously by the latter's father-in-law, Mr. James Alexander. The common report was that there were anything from 700 to 7,000 head of wild cattle on Queen Charlotte Island. "Mexican Tom" judges, to use his own words, "from what I could see, ancl from what I couldn't" that there were about 200. This unsatisfactory report, not unnaturally, induced Mr. Rudge to relinquish the idea of exporting them, the expense in view of the probable profits being too great. At the present time the wild cattle number about So head only, as the Matsqui Indians are perpetually killing them for food and a few settlers also practically live off them. Beef in such a wet climate will keep, roughly speaking, about ten days, and at this rate of progress thc wild cattle seem as surely doomed to complete extermination, as was thc buffalo when the white man appeared. The real point of these facts is to show that it is a mistaken policy which tries to "bull-dose" settlers into a region by telling them fairy tales wheih cannot bc substantiated; it may pay for a short time, but sooner or later, and usually sooner, thc lie turns back on the tellers, and the last state of that land is, like the man's soul in thc Bible, "worse than the first." Last Monday my peripatetic course took me to the skating-rink on Fort Street, where I found a carnival in full swing. The old Assembly Hall was crowded to thc utmost with costumed skaters, and manv and varied were the characters represented; perhaps the couple which attracted most attention for their originality were "The Gold Dust Twins," who had certainly contrived to copy the well- known advertisement in every particular. Black tights, black faces and hands, and other parphernalia were all there. There were many others who had evidently gone to great expense and trouble to help to make the thing the success it was. The management told me that every pair of their 250 rollers were out, and that they could have used at least fifty more. The balcony was packed with spectators, and The Lounger felt very glad that he had left his watch "at home," as he was so tightly squeezed in the throng that it would certainly have either been broken, or—well, no I won't say that, as it was such a highly respectable crowd. Congratulations are certainly due to the enterprising managers, wdio by a judicious use of some special preparation for cleaning the floor have contrived that there shall be no dust, a fact which was continually being commented on. I believe that I have said before that I am rather fond of a little melancholy every now and then; it is a change from perpetual laughter, and gives one that "good little boy" feeling. When I feel that I require one of these fits, I go up to the old cemetery on Quadra Street, and ponder on the old pioneers, and what they would think if they could know how posterity has treated their remains. There are many tomb-stones there: I give this information, because the unwary stranger might think the place was a hay-field. It reminds me also of Jerusalem in the days of the pious Nehemiah, who sorrowed because her walls were cast down; I see there is no encircling fence now. If the poet Grey were living now in Victoria, instead of writing an "Elegy" he would be engaged on a biting jeremiad directed against the civic authorities in particular, and against the citizens in general (more especially the descendants of "the rude forefathers") for being so callous as to allow such a state of things to exist. Not only is the spot an eye-sore in the heart of the city, it is a standing rebuke to the inhabitants, who are too much engaged in their own business and pleasure to remember what is due to the memory of those to whom they owe the site of what they boast is the most beautiful city in Canada. I should have thought that the clergy of the place, of every denomination would have by this time insisted on common decency being exercised in what is usually styled "God's Acre."

A rather comical story relating to the great Rachel and at one time her devoted admirer, Prince Demidoff, runs this way: It seems that upon the occasion of thc prince's visit to the charming actress she would often greet him in playful mood, and, while criticizing his attire, which was thc special object of his thought, would draw from his necktie the pin which secured it, a cameo, topaz, ruby, or whatever it might chance to be, and place it ill her pin-cushion, or upon her corsage. This habit greatly amused the prince, it semed so childish and such a mischievous act, and it really added to her charm in his eyes. One day, however, he called, wearing a sort of stock, and consequently had no jewel. The observant maid noticed that there was no pin in the tie of Demidoff, and when she announced him to her mistress, mentioned the fact. "It is the prince; but he wears a stock." "Then say I am out," replied Ra- chael. Finding himself refused an interview, the prince set about tearing thc rea! reason. It mightily amused him, and thereafter he never appeared without the bauble that had always proved the sesame to thc great actress's presence. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. The story I of the "Semi-ready" idea in mens i tailoring has heen told and inspired hy ] the enthusiasm of its creators.

THE WEEK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1907 Sporting Comment. That association football is rapidly becoming the most popular of all winter sports was well shown last Saturday by the numbers which attended the league matches at Oak Bay. Although the attendance is not as large as it should be, there is, however, a much better showing be- fitjf' made this season than ever before and it is expected that before the season is concluded the attendance will be much larger. The games in the Victoria District League which were played last Saturday produced two good exhibitions while the third was a decided farce. The best game of the three was that between the Y.M.C.A. and J.B.A.A., which was won by the latter by 2-0. It was expected that this game would be a battle royal and those who journeyed to Oak Bay to witness the match were not disappointed. From start to finish there was not a dull moment. Every player on both teams exerting every effort to score a victory. It was apparent, however, that there is considerable ill-feeling between these teams, which at times threatened to create trouble but happily, however, the game ended without any disturbance. This game was really the best match that has been seen this season, both teams showed considerable improvement over the play of the previous week and if the players continue to improve as they have done in the past few weeks the class of football will be in keeping with any seen in this city before the end of the series. Both teams were in good condition and had out the strongest elevens that could be got together for that day. The Y.M.C|A. made a decided improvement to theii team by the addition of Whyte at full back and Clegg at centre forward, the former, however, was the most conspicuous and did much to keep the score down. Clegg did not play as he did last year and appeared as if he was anxious to play on the reputation he gained while playing with thi Ladysmith team. The back division of the Y.M.C.A. was certainly the strongest part of their team, with Kercher, Hill and Dawson at half back and Whyte and Wilson at full back they have a defending division that will compare favorably with any in the league. Harper in goal also comes in for his share of credit for he played a good game and the goals that were tallied against him were through no fault of his. The forward division, however, is lamentably weak and unless it is strengthened it will result in the team being forced further down the ladder. Although thc Y.M.C.A. pressed their opponents hard the forwards were never able to connect with the goal, many fine openings were missed and the shots that did come within reach of the goal were well cared for by Northcott. The Bays on the other hand, have a fairly well balanced team, the only improvement that could be made would be a change at centre forward. The Bays had fewer openings on goal than did their opponents but with good shooting they tallied two while the Y.M.'s failed to register. Thc Y.M.C.A. has players registered from which could be selected a forward line that would make all back divisions in the league hustle, the only thing is the selection. The match between the United and Esquimalt was a regular farce. In the first place the United are at present far from being united and are rather disorganized. On Saturday only rive of the team that was selected appeared on the field. Six other players were picked up and an attempt was made to give their opponents a game but it was far from being successful. The Esquimalt players ran in goal whenever they pleased ancl could have scored more. The Esquimalt team is coming along rapidly and will bc heard from before the end of the season. It is very probable that thc United team is a thing of the past. Tt is a decided pity that this tean- did not get started earlier in thc season, being the senior organization in the field last year it should have been the first to start but for some unknown reason no effort was made tc get the players together. It is true that many of the old players have dropped out of the game, but they should have taken sufficient interest in the cause of football to see the team started and well on its way be fore throwing over the lines completely. When at last the club did reorganize, there has been but little interest taken in the team, the management has practically been left in thi hands of two and it is a well known fact that if a club is to be successful it must be run harmoniously. After having lost three games it is practically certain that the United will not be seen on the field again this season. The game between the Fifth Regiment and Garrison at Work Point resulted as was expected in a win for the Fifth. This team has been up against rather hard luck but will soon be giving the leaders in the race a good run for the victory. The Garrison team has been rather too much changed to give any beneficial result but should play better football than they have been doing so far this year. The schedule for today has three games arranged. The Y.M.C.A. is scheduled to play the United at Oak Bay but it is very probable that this game will be defaulted to the Y.M. C.A. The second game at Oak Bay will be contested by the J.B.A.A. and Esquimalt. The Fifth Regiment ancl Garrison will again try conclusions at Work Point. The management committee did a little better last .week towards the selection of referees, but there is still room for improvement. Official notifications were given but in sorat cases they were mailed so that it would reach the referee after the game was started. That is to say they were posted too late for the Saturday morning mail and unless th' referee has a box it was impossible for him to get his notice until thi afternoon delivery, which was too late to be of any use. It is just as easy to notify the referee on Thursday or Friday as it is on Saturday and it is hoped that thc committee will sec that this is done. Another matter that would be much better if attended to is that of securing goal nets. According to the constitution this is necessary but for some reason it has not been carried out. At present it is very difficult foi the referee to decide whether or not the ball passes through the boal and an effort should be made to secure these valuable acquisitions. The Vancouver rugby football team has left for California. The final selection of the team resulted in W. A. Newcombe of the Victoria club being taken along to play half back. Billy is one of the best players in British Columbia but this is more than cap be said of several of those who were selected. After a careful criticism of the team it can hardly be expected that the visiting team will make much of a showing against the Californian^ and it will be a decided surprise if they win the majority of games. Thc Californians have taken strongly to thc good old game of rugby and will give the visiting players a warm reception. Like all Dawsonites the basketball team from the northern metropolis has little regard for money and when they asked for a guarantee of $100 to play a game in this city they asked for something that is impossible for them to get. There never was a time in the history of the game in this city that a visiting team could be guaranteed this amount and the popularity thc game enjoys at present is nothing compared to what it was when it was first started. The suggestion to send a soccer team from Canada to tour the Ok' Country is one that will not meet with the approval of any person wha ha: seen games on the Old Sod or tn those who follow thc results in both England and Scotland. The idea is a very foolish one and can result in no other way than defeat for the visitors. Even if an all-Canadian team was sent there is absolutely no reason why all the players should be chosen in the East. There are players in Ladysmith, Vancouver and Victoria who should have a decided right to a place on thc team but who have been overlooked. The proposition originated in Winnipeg and from tin personnel of the team one would be lead to believe that it would be very similar to the all-Star aggregation of lacrosse players who have been touring Australia under the name of all- Canada but who are better known as Miller's Misfits. There is a question going the rounds of the sporting headquarters an answer to which will be welcomed by many who attended the horse races in connection with the recent exhibition. The question is this: How is it, that a horse that did not get first, second or third in the free for all which was won in 2.20, 2.20 and 2.21 1-2, make a track record at Vancouver of 1.17 1-2 and at the same time beat the horse that took second money in the free for all? Arthur Burn, the amateur champion long distance runner of British Columbia and the Northwest, has issued a challenge to race any runner in the world, with special reference to the celebrated Longboat. This would make a good attraction for Victoria, if some interesting lovers of sport got together and talked the matter over it is very probably that an offer could be made to have them run in the Capital City of British Columbia.

SK Hastings St Vancouver, B.C. W. BLAKHMORK..Manager and Bdltor The Middle Class. Canon Beanlands lias written several letters recently on the subject of "the middle class." He was incited thereto by the action of the Socialist Party in connection with the Victoria Asiatic Exclusion League. The Canon was not very successful in expressing his views on thc subject at a public meeting held in the City Hall when Bedlam broke loose and certain alien agitators had a field day. Although intolerable from the public standpoint there is an aspect of the matter not altogether devoid of humour in the inability of a preacher to gain a hearing. This privileged class tells us week after week of our "sins of omission and commission" and we sit in acquiescence, or nod somnolent approval, but this is within the precincts of the church where no one says lhe parson nay. On the public platform confronted with a gang of howling Socialists the clergyman realizes that he is made of common clay and that the Divinity which hedges him abuut is of no avail. Under these distressing circumstances the worthy Canon had recourse to the press and hc has raised a very important question, although 1 venture to think that in doing so he has rather confused the issue, lie asks what is to become of the middle class in Western Canada, which he declares is being crushed beneath the upper millstone of capitalism and the nether millstone of labour. That there is a class which may be differentiated from both of these may be admitted if one accepts his definition of the labouring class as a class which earns its livlihood by manual toi? All the same thc designation is misleading if there is any attempt to co-relate this class with thc great middle class of England. There, thc social distinction is clearly defined and obvious, and the characteristics so easy tn read that the wayfaring man, though a fool, need not err therein. In Cannda it is otherwise, the distinction is not social, but rather economic, and the middle class, which could be properly so designated, is very small in proportion to its importance as compared with the other classes of the community in the Old Country. Probably what Canon Beanlands meant to convey was that the capit- al'sts on one hand and the trades unions on the other have the ear of all governments and all political parties in a preponderating degree, and that thc people, such as tradesmen, clerks, agents, travellers and all others who cannot fairly be scheduled as capitalists or manual labourers are more or less ignored. Is this true? 1 venture to doubt it. I ame quite aware and greatly deplore the fact that money is able to make itself heard and felt very powerfully in the councils of government and there is more than a suspicion, duetto scandalous revelations, during periods of investgiation, that governments have proved only too venal in dealing with wealthy corporations. A striking feature in connection with any discussion of this subject is furnished by an editorial appearing in one of the leading newspapers of Canada a week ago, where the contribution of campaign funds by capitalists was defended on the ground that the expenses of elections had to come from somewhere and they might as well be raised as a levy upon* those best able to contribute. All I can say is that the morality of such a system cannot be defended and that as long as it prevails it is impossible for the government accepting such aid to be impartial in its dealings. On the other hand, the vast preponderance, numerically, of the labouring class which is well organized and has its official representatives in every community is of such value to a government from the voting standpoint that there is always a temptation to listen to its appeals and to make at times injudicious compromises at thc expense of the public interest. Probably these two statements fairly cover the case and present it in its extremest aspects, but the close observer will not be content with generalising, he will look below the surface and there he fill find that there is a potent influence at work, the influence which holds the balance of power and which finds its true interest in swaying the decisions of governing bodies from the dangerous extremes of both parties into a safer middle course. These are the men not only of moderation but of intelligence and broadmindedness who recognize that the prosperity of the country and the attainment of permanent success depend upon the avoidance of extremes and the persistent advocacy of principles which have become established in the life of civilized communities. The men of this class are not only the educators but the leaders of public opinion. Take any legislative assembly in the British Empire and they will be found to constitute the majority, which goes to show that in the final issue, and there is no better test than popular elective representation, it is neither thc capitalist nor the trades unionist who wins out, but thc man who belongs to that class which Canon Beanlands designates the "middle class" nnd who is recognized by his fellows as a representative not of any one class but of principles the maintenance of which contribute to ihe common weal. I do nol think there is any danger of this class dying out or becoming weaker. Its influence ebbs and flows. There are times when capital seems 1 1 have an innings and there are times when labour gets the upper hand and forces unripe legislation upon the country. These times are lew and far between. They but mark lhe variation in the resistance offered to class legislation by that permanent force which can always be relied on to bring the pendulum back to its normal swing. II is true that this class is neither as noisy as demonstrative, nor as cunning in ils methods as cither of thc other classes, but for that very reason it is, and ever will bc, the strongest class in any civilized community. It has saved many a situation, it has checked many au ill-considered movement and in spite of the greater prominence and aggressiveness of those who represent other interests it is just as powerful in Western Canada as in any part of the Empire. Canon Beanlands need lose no sleep, the country is safe, and the "middle' class" runs no risk of being hurt. Literary Notes. Mr. Marion Crawford is the subject of an article by Dr. Frederic Taber Cooper, in the series of "Representative American Story-Tellers" which The Bookman has beeu publishing. Dr. Cooper dwells on the satisfaction to be found in dealing in such a scries with the author whom he calls the "prince of story-tellers." Summing up Mr. Crawford's literary creed, he says: "In theory he is a romanticist; in practice he is in turn realist, psychologue, mystic, whatever for the moment suits his needs or appeals to his instinct of born story-teller." The truth of this varied characterization, and the cosmopolitanism of Mr. Crawford's genius, are curiously illustrated by the fact that his latest story, "Arethusa," is a romance of Constantinople in the Middle Ages, while its immediate predecessor was a tale of modern Rome, and its successor, "The Little City of Hope," is to be a Christmas story with an American theme and characters. A happy idea for a children's book is embodied in "The Peter Pan Picture Book," by Alice B. Woodward and Daniel O'Connor. Mr. Barrie - delightful creation has a secure place in the hearts of children of all ages, and Peter, Wendy, Tinker Bell, Cap tain Hook and his Pirates, are as familiar to the child of today as the most time-honored lore of fairyland. The new book is to contain the story briefly retold by Mr. O'Connor, with the author's consent, and twenty- eight colored illustrations by Miss Woodwadr, an English artist of much sympathetic charm. Mr. E. V. Lucas, whose versatility is less surprising than the standard he always manages to maintain in his work, gives evidence of his skill as an editor as well as his talent for original work, in two recently published books. "Another Book of Verses for Children"—the title is an lalusion to a book brought out by him some years ago—is a capital anthology, "not so much of poetry, as of poetry-for-chil- dren." The selections in this book are no less admirable than the manner in which it is printed and illustrated, so that the collection is altogether one to be commended for children. The original side of Mr. Lucas' talent is. represented by a small book which he has called "Character and Comedy." | Here he has assembled a number of essays, for the most part in the very lightest of humor, but charmingly written and full of quiet observation and telling wit. /T A new novel by the author of "Thc Magnetic North" and "A Lark Lantern' will be an event to a great many readers. The title of the new book by Miss Elizabeth Robins, which is to be published this month, is "The Convert," and it is said to be a story of thc woman-suffrage movement in London—a theme offering plenty of opportunity for thc display of Miss Robin's undoubted gift for the dramatic and picturesque.

Y fyT$ty^fyfyfy_JlpfyTfyfy_fy<fy Dear Madge: One of the most uninteresting weaknesses of humankind is the love they take in exhaustive descriptions of their ailments. Scarcely anyone is immune from the failing. Did you ever meet the person who was unwilling to gloat in gruesome detail over the tortures suffered in the dental chair or the excruciating agony of a nerve that would not die or the diabolical fangs that could not be extracted? There must be solace in the sharing of troubles even as there is an unconquerable desire to retail dreams. We all imagine our dreams to be worth thc telling and as enthralling to others as they arc to ourselves. Some dreams are indeed fascinating narratives, though one is never quite free from the thought that the narrator may be drawing upon a waking instead of a sleeping imagination, The aggravating part of dreams is that they invariably stop at the psychological moment. Xo one ever has been quite run over by the steam roller that they could not walk away from, and it is always just as you are about to pass "the door to which I found no key," that you wake up. It is frightfully disappointing, and I am sure that if one could piu'suadc the steam roller to continue its course over one's prostrate form one would be able to describe sensations in a way that would make a dream delectable. Mainly thc interest of one's illnesses and dream visitations is in the telling them to others, and not in having other people tell them. "Tell not," says an old saw, "your dreams in cnmpany, "for though thou mayest take great pleasure in telling thy dreams the company will take no pleasure in hearing them." Good advice, no doubt, but wasted, indeed, for as long as the world spins about the sun and the human race lives upon thc globe we shall tell our own dreams and yawn over other people's. There arc, however, dreams worth while. One friend of mines sees in her sleep costumes of the most original type, and has been able to design many of them when she wakes. And those that she has allowed mc to inspect could indeed be called dreams. Others there are who can see the location of lost articles while slumber holds them close and there are several authentic instances of valuables discovered by this means. The desire for relating our adventures is the evidence of the egotism that exists in us all. Madame dc Stael wrote of Napo Icon: "There is nothing for him but himself, all other beings arc so many cyphers; the force of his will lies ir. the imperturable calculation of his selfish ncss." Men are more egotistical than women, and Napoleon was perhaps the greatest egotist of them all. Egotism is a form of selfishness, but is there a profound truth concealed in thc last sentence of Madame de Stael's indictment? Is worldly success usually in proportion to thc imperturbable calculation of the individual's selfishness and thc more cold hloodedly imperturbable the calculation thc greater thc success? To he very great as the world counts greatness must a man be very selfish? Is he likely to achieve more than a modicum of fame through the purely intellectual or artistic development of his character at least in his life. Genius is recognized more freely after death, Success as the world counts it is perhaps no true success at all and true greatness mure probably in the knowledge and satisfaction of a work well done. I must confess that a well-developed egoist gives me intense joy. The youthful and self-conscious embryo stage is only trying. But your self- satisfied and matured egoist is a fine creature. He cannot see his own defects and the man who is incapable of seeing his faults is well worth cultivating. He is very likely on the road to worldly success, provided the faults are not vital. A person so frankly self-centered is prone to draw one into his orbit. If his opinion is of any value at all one is inclined to conclude that when he finds himself so interesting he must be a someone of a very satisfactory type. Unfortunately it is inevitable that thc eternal first person singular is bound to bore one in course of time. One's own egoism demands an occasional second person singular, and that your true egoist will not concede. I_ut hc is an entertaining animal, nevertheless. the night it was given to him. He inquired at Scotland Yard. "Oh! yes," was the reply. "Play marked with Mr. Ganthony's name, sent back to owner four months ago, as soon as found." Where It Buzzed. "If I have ever nature-faked," said Rev. William J. Long, the gifted nature writer, in Stamford, "I have done so unconsciously. My knowledge, not my veracity, has been at fault. "You know," resumed Mr. Long, smiling, "anyone may nature-fake through ignorance. Thus: "One day I was addressing some Stamford school chaps on the subject of bees, and, turning to a bright looking little chap, I said: " 'With what part of the body does a bee buzz, Jacob?' "Jacob answered confidently, but ignorantly, launching a tremendous nature-fake: "'It's buzzum, sir,' he said."

Weedon Grossmith used to tell a story about a play by Robert Gan- thony, which that gentleman asked him to read. Mr. Grossmith took the comedy, but lost it on his way home. "Night after night," he says, "I would meet Ganthony, and he would ask me how I liked his play. It was awful; thc perspiration used to come out on my forehead as I'd say sometimes, T haven't had time to look at it yet!' or again, 'The first act was good, but I can't stop to explain, etc, must catch a train.' Tliat play was thc bane of my existence, and haunted mc even in my dreams." Some months passed, and Ganthony still pursued him. At last it occurred to Mr. Grossmith that he might have left the comedy in the cab on A Final Resort. There is a certain lad who, it would appear, assents to the old proposition that it is well to have more than one string to one's bow. The boy was being catechised one day by a well meaning visitor to the house. "Well, Harry," said the lady, "don't you think you have a chance to be Premier some day?" "Oh, I don't know," answered Harry carelessly. "Maybe I'll try for it after I get old to be a pitcher." Wants Hanging. One morning Douglas Jerrold and Compton proceeded together to view the pictures in the Gallery of Illustration. On entering the anteroom they found themselves opposite to a number of long mirrors. "Look at that picture," said Compton, pointing to his own reflection. "Very fine," said Jerrold, regarding it intently, "wants hanging, though."

The owner, however, was a remarkably bad shot, and one day, on firing both barrels hastily at a rabbit, he heard a mournful howl. The next moment his dog appeared carrying a black object in his mouth, which he laid carefully at his master's feet. The animal had retrieved his own tail! That's what Kilmarnock Scotch does—retrieves its own tale. It brings back to its owners the truth of its advertising story, that for quality, age and uniformity it heads the list of popular Whiskies. It's because "Johnnie Walker" is such a splendid retriever that sportsmen take it with them when going after game.

(Continued from Page One) bitten so often that they have more and more withdrawn, putting their money into investments, and have left the game to the professional gamblers and directors of big Corporations, Trusts and Insurance Companies who gamble with other people's money.

To all of this there is a moral; it need not be stated in precise terms. A Half Nelson. At the business luncheon of the Canadian Club, Mr. Joseph Pearson told a good story which was not reported. He said that, a few evenings before, the Times newspaper boys were shouting on Government Street "Buy the Times, all about the wreck." Noticing a bortrait of Admiral Nelson upon the front page, hc asked a boy, "What do you shout the wreck for; why don't you say all about Nelson?" With a supercilious manner thc boy retorted "Who is Nelson?" "Why," said Mr. Pearson, "don't you know? There's his portrait on your paper." Thc boy looked at it quizzically, and a look of blank astonishment overspread his features. "Well," said he, "I see him round the office every day, but I should never have known him."
