TheWeek A British Columbia Newspaper and Review. •^ol. XI, No. 42--Eleventh Year b Victoria, B.C., Canada, Dec. 13, 1913 5c. a copy, $2.00 a year fl Land Policy for British Columbia N November 19th, 1910, the writer of this article submitted a resolution to thc Conservative Convention at Nelson which carried unanimously. The preamble and resolution was as Hows:— "Whereas the development of the agricultural industry of the Province not keeping pace with lhe increase of population and the growth of other iduslries, and ♦ "Whereas the permanent prosperity of any country depends upon the kllivnlion of lhe soil, and the local production of lhc necessaries of ,jfc, and * "Whereas llie present tendency in British Columbia is to Hock to the 'ties, which may in the near future present a serious problem, as affecting ■ie cost of living1 and the providing of cheap food for Ihe people: "Bo it resolved that the time lias arrived when it is desirable to take ome steps to assure the placing of a larger number of permanent settlers ,'pon tbe land, and the Government is requested to lake this mntter under ; serious consideration and to undertake the work of colonization with people of our own race." KEPT IN THE BACKGROUND •!■' During the three years that have intervened many things have ■ ;iened and public attention has been engrossed with the bringing . railways, the construction of breakwaters, docks and piers and lie prosecution of other public works which have so contributed to the b-velopment of British Columbia that the urgency of tlio matter dealt vith in these resolutions has been less insistent. In spite, however, f-1' other distractions it has never receded far into the background, Itud there has not been a month in these three years in which the tjulic press has not, either in its correspondence or editorial columns, , diced the demand for more land cultivation. It is probably true to lay that there has not been a month in which the Government has not fciied thn «1i"..*l»i--T! in one form or another. Thc encouragement *\a offered to reliable colonizers, such as the late Duke of Suther- rid, is un evidence of this. SURVEYED LANDS The unprecedented activity of the Lunds Department in the ter of surveying and increased facilities for the settler furnished jst practical evidence that lhe Minister of Lands at any rate was ly seized of the importance of the subject. Ten days ago, when Jdressing a public meeting at, Deep Cove, Mr. Eoss wns nble to show Sliat 9,000 settlers had taken up pre-emptions during the last three are, nn'1 " t the number is increasing rapidly each year. But while it is also true, ns pointed out in tlie very admirable . jt Air. William Hayward printed in Wednesday's Colonist, at these figures may easily become mislending if one ussumes thnt "d cultivation is in proportion to the number of pre-emptions. His tter should be read by everyone interested in laud settlement. It is actual detailed experience of a "bona fide" settler, struggling with ,o natural conditions of the Province, and it clearly demonstrates ■int tho mnn of smnll capital cannot possibly mnke farming n success 'ithout special nssistnnce. It is difficult to see how that assistance :an take nny form nt once so effective and assured of permanent re- iilts as Government aid. '.' GOVERNMENT AID This aid is required mainly to cope with a condition which docs jbtnin in any other Province, tlie heavy timbering of tlie bind. It i*-*<uid clearing which is the banc of the settler and which largely ; jtiMiintjt.for the fact that after ninny yenrs occupancy of a pre-emptor nly ff'few acres are brought under cultivation. It is this condition Which tends to mnke the pre-emptor rather a land speculator thnn a. land cultivator. The cost of land clearing in British Columbia varies torn .$100 to .$500 an acre, but a very usual figure with existing appli- ?eos is $200. There aro two ways in which this difficulty may be ifiet; the one is the plan admirably outlined in a letter which nppenrs In the current issue of The Week, signed "Pro Bone Publico." This letter is written by a man occupying a high position in the Province [vith many yenrs experience, of the practical aspects of hind culture, lie favours the purchase of the most up-to-date equipment for clearing and the hiring of it out to settlers nt n nominal figure. The other method is thnt which hns been adopted with such conspicuous success u New Zenlnnd and with unvarying success in many other countries, viz., the loaning of n percentage of the bind vnlue to thc settlor on n first mortgnge, tbe rate of interest being fixed nt the lowest possible figure nnd the repayment spread over a term of yenrs. I POSSIBLE OBJECTIONS The possible objections to Ihis form of Government aid mny be iiimmnrized ns follows: The money might not bo ns well spent us if leak with under the former proposal; it might not all go into land Hearing, since there would bo no control over its expenditure and in nany cases the Government might find itself in possession of abnn- loned farms which had cost them np to fifty per cent of a fair vnlun- ion, but with comparatively little increase in actual value from the imo when the land wns turned over to the pre-emptor ut n nominnl iguro. Obviously the "sine qua non" of any lnnd policy must be land dearing, without which there can be little cultivation, and tho policy oust be aimed at ensuring this. It is probable thnt n combination of he two principles would form thc ideal policy, because in a country yhere the cost of living is so high nnd labour so dear, there arc othol egitimate expenditures which might well be outside the compass oi in ordinary settlor's pocket, but which must be met before a farm enn ie put into running order. Tho happy solution, therefore, might be he adopting of the loaning principle with n stipulation that the loan ie mnde in annual instalments, contingent upon a minimum amount if clearing being done each yenr. THE HOYAL COMMISSION The nnxiety of the Government to thoroughly understand nnd ■ffectively denl with the grent problem of lnnd settlement is shown by the appointment of a Boyal Commission, which, since the close of the lust session of Parliament has been studying the question. The thoroughness of its work is evidenced by the fact that one member of the Commission, Mr. Lucas, M.P.P., has visited Australia and New Zealand, and another member, Mr. W. 11. Hayward, M.P.P., hns visited Europe. Mr. Lucas' report is an nble and instructive document the key-note of which is the strongest possible endorsement of the legislation of New Zealand contained in two Acts, "The Advance to Settlers Act" and "The State Guarantee Loan Act," authorizing and guaranteeing loans to fanners ou the security of their land for the purpose of improving and developing the same nnd increasing their output. Mr. Lucas declares "this is the most beneficial legislation ever passed by the New Zealand Government. It has not only given e. great impetus to the agricultural industry, but it has reacted in re' latcd and other industries in a further stimulation of trade in general." The result has been a large increase in the revenues from the farms, enabling the settlers to pay off their mortgage and to adopt a higher and better standard of living. AN IDEAL CONDITION The concluding paragraph of this section of Mr. Lucas' report, is so impressive that it is worth quoting verbatim: "Throughout the country a higher and better civilization is gradually being evolved. The young men and women nre growing np happy and content to remain nt home on the farm, nnd find ample time and opportunity for recreation and entertainment of a kind more wholesome and elevating thnn enn be obtained in the cities." During the eighteen yenrs thnt these loan systems have been in operation there have only been thirty-five foreclosures. The total number of loans made is 27,089; the total amount loaned $05,901,045, of which nearly half hns been repaid. THE SAME IIS AUOT1IAT.IA Tn Australia, Mr. Lucas found that nll the Stntes in the Com- inonwealth hnve established systems under which loans are made to farmers on tlie same principle as in New Zealand, and "the system in Australia has been ns successful ns in New Zenlnnd." He snys further: "The land brought under cultivation between 1895 and 1911 increased in Western Austrnlin, where loans wore liberally made, over 900 per cent; while in Tasmania, where the loans were more restricted nnd very smnll,. it only increased 27 per cent." The total amount of money loaned to farmers in Austrnlin since the inception of tho system is $47,912,911, of which nearly half bus been repair. Mr. Hayward's report has not yet been made public, but, reading between the lines, it is clear that he endorses Mr. Lucas' conclusions in favour of small holdings, intensive cultivation nnd State aid. He is most enthusiastic about the agricultural development of Ireland, which, he snys, outstrips that of nny other country which he visited, and, as everyone knows, tho financial aid extended to the ponsnnt proprietor in Ireland has been the outstanding feature of its legislative history for the last twenty-five years. Tt may be taken for granted that the opinions expressed by Mr. Lucas and Mr. Hayward in their interviews with the press will be found in the official report of the Commission, nnd if so, the Government will have secured wdint it aimed nt, justification for adopting in British Columbin a similar policy to that which has proved snch a signal success in Australia and New Zealand. ONLY MARKING TIME There is no doubt that the Province could jog along under the tlio present system for many years, ,but it would be at the cost of permanent land settlement, without which no country can be truly prosperous. The anomaly of importing farm produce to the extent of many millions a yenr into a Province which contains the richest land in the Dominion is one which cannot continue indefinitely, if that Province is to forge nheiid. The anomaly of granting thousands of pre-emptions, of which only a few acres nre cultivated, is but tlie perpetuation of u delusion. It is not the number of pre-emptors who count but the number of acres under cultivation, und lhe produce of those ncres. Except ill fruit-growing British Columbin is making no marked progress in the agricultural industry. Private enterprise nnd much belauded colonization schemes have failed to do more lliuii ud- vertise the country and bring in u mere handful of "bona fide" farmers. There can be no doubt Ihal. the Agricultural Commission hns gravitated to the logical explanation of this nnd to tho logical remedy, und Ihere enn equally be no doubl thnt a Government which has shown itself so energetic in developing lhe natural resources of the Province will give effect ut the earliest possible moment to tbe recommendations of a Commission which has performed its difficnll duties so thoroughly. 71 Drastic Measure THE Dominion Government hns issued an Order-in-Council under the provisions of sub-section 8, section 118, of the Immigration Act 9-10, ordering that ''From nnd after lhe dale hereof nnd until the 31st day of March, 1914, the landing nl nny port of entry heroin speeilied of nny immigrant of any of the following occupations, viz: artisans, labourers, skilled or unskilled, shall be and the snme is hereby prohibited," The clause under which this Order is made reads as follows: "The Governor in Council may by Proclamation or Order whenever he deems il necessary or expedient prohibit for n stated period or permanently llie landing in Cnnada. or tbe landing at any specified port of entry in Cnnada, of immigrants belonging to any race deemed imsuited to the climate or requirements of Canada, or of immigrants of any specified class, occupation or character." This is thc first time tlinl this clause bus been pill into operation unconditionally. Immigration bus been hedged round with conditions, the payment of n head lax by the Chinaman, possession of n fixed sum of money and the direct sailing by the Hindu and the restriction to u maximum number of immigrants in one year for the Japanese. But never before has the immigration of a labourer, whether skilled or unskilled, and regardless of race, been absolutely prohibited. It affects British subjects as well as aliens and may therefore , fairly be called a drastic step. The responsibility rests witb the Federal Government. The motive is an excellent one, viz., to prevent congestion of the unemployed and to conserve for those already in the country such work ns may be obtainable during the present period of depression of which the duration is uncertain. In this matter Canada has adopted the same principle as Australia, New Zealand and South Africn in demanding the absolute right to mnin- tiiin its own immigration laws and to vary and adapt them as occasion may require to the conditions of the country. The step is a serious one, fraught with the possibility of tragic consequences. Much might be said for and against, and the only consideration which will reconcile public opinion to such an extreme step is the fact that it affords a temporary solution of an urgent problem. Meanwhile, The Week would call attention to the fact that up to the date of this Ordor-in-Couiicil full-page advertisements were running in British newspapers and magazines inviting men and women to go to British Columbia. Too many of our deluded fellow-countrymen arc already submerged by the untoward conditions now prevailing in the Province and it is only reasonable to assume thnt the Government will at once discontinue the advertisements. 71 Valuable Report PRESIDENT S1IALLCKOSS and his sub-committee, consisting of Messrs. M. B. Jackson, J. L. Beckwith and J. S. Floyd,- are to be congratulated on having submitted to the Board of Trade one of thc moot valuable reports wbich it has ever had to consider. The report is lengthy and deals in the main with two subjects, the financing of civic works, and "town planning." The former 1ms assumed gigantic proportions in consequence of the system which has been adopted in Victoria during the last few years, a system under which the collective wisdom of ten or a dozen aldermen does not appear to have been any more effective than that of the average business liian. While money was easy to raise the Council projected extensive works sufficient to Inst an ordinnry city for nt lenst eight or ten years; they executed them in ahout three or four. In the process they approached the limit of their borrowing capacity, they left important sections of the city untouched, which would have been included in any well digested scheme, and they commenced works which they have not been nble to finish because the amount of money raised under the by-law has proved to he inadequate. The proposals of the Municipal Committee of the Board of Trade are directed at establishing a business-like system of conducting civic expenditures. The main objects aimed ut ure to ensure reliable estimates in advance, to create a new governmental depnrtment somewhat similar to the Hoard of Trade nt homo, presided over by a Commissioner who shall be a permanent official and who shall certify with respect to all money by-laws that the statutory requirements have been complied, with before the bonds nre placed on the market for sale. There is also a very excellent provison for placing the city "in funds" with certain discretionary powers of regulating Ihe expenditure which it does not now possess. There is u finiil provision for inspection of civic accounts by the Commissioner. .Some of lhe proposals are open to question, although it is probable that when they are more fully explained they will prove generally acceptable. On the whole the report is an excellent one, betokening careful study of the subject, und is easily the most concise and illuminative document yet produced in Victoria dealing with an extremely knotty subject. As Ihere is to be a special meeting on Tuesday next to discuss tho report in detail, The Week reserves a fuller analysis of lhe various clauses until Ihey have been denll with by lbe Hoard of Trade. Military Training TIIOSK who have lbe welfare of thoil ilry al hcnrl ami who realize thut military training is one id' lhc lirst duties uf Ihe cilizen have u hard enough row lo hue iu British Columbia ivithoilt hnving to submit lo tbe jeers of ihose who would be the lirsl io call on lhe militia for protection if lbe necessity arose. Bul il is even worse for a body of n wearing lbe king's uniform, nnd being trained for lhe defence of his dominions, to be subjected to insult at the hands of civil servants. These men receive Government pay, which menns public money. Considerable latitude bus been allowed to them in many respects, bul such nn abuse of privilege as occurred iu Victoria recently, when one of Ihe best known of lhe posloffice employees denounced the militia and military training with the vehemence of a demagogue und the truculonce of n pnid agitator is surely lhe lasl straw, nml calls for prompt investigation. If such a gross breach of departmental rules is allowed lo pass unnoticed lho pretence of keeping lhe service onl of politics is a sham. Hard Swearing THE remarks of Mr. Justice Morrison with reference to the perjury alleged lo have been committed by witnesses-for the defence in the reeenl strike eases tried al the assizes make very serious reading. They leave no manner of doubt thnt, in lhe opinion of the judge, witnesses, both men nnd women, have been deliberately conspiring to bear false witness in order Ihnt lbe jury should be unable lo bring iu n verdict of "Guilty." As be truly observes, nothing more serious eouhl happen in a community, nothing more destructive of lhc public safely, nothing more inimical tn the administration of justice.

WIXLIAM BLAKEMORE President and Editor L. MoLEOB GOULD Secretary l. ». Mcdonald Advertiiing Agent The Good Old Times BY BOHEMIAN THE WEEK Page Three m m FAUST IN HISTORY, MYTH AND DRAMA By Arthur J. Hill I \\\ HERE are still a few among us who talk of "the good old Kb,times," but the busy, bustling, money- % grubbing world of the twentieth cen- j tury turns a deaf ear, scoffs at the j musty traditions of the past, and ', tries to persuade itself that there ,) never was such an age as that in j. which we live, and, in a sense, tnnt 'j is true, but not in the sense which they mean. Nothing is more interesting than to 1 turn over the pages of history till one j reaches the middle of the eighteenth I century, and reading from that time , onwards covering the Peninsular and I Napoleonic wars, to get in touch with | the conditions of life prevailing at ; thnt period, and especially to study j the grent natural forces which oper- I, ated to ensure tho survival of the fittest. The principle underlying this enn be traced back to earliest times, as -very student of Darwin well knows, JFln its crudest form it was manifested 'n the ease of the cave man fighting in defence of his retreat and his ! woman, with the weakest always going to tbo wall. Por many centuries might wus right, nnd it was not until . science began to treat ''the ills that v Host is heir to," and to regulate the I system of modern wnrfnro that we find any great modification in the primal system. I wonder how many of my readers have applied these thoughts to the problems of today. What is the one i problem which confronts the civilized world? Is it not that of over- K< growth; of over-population in certain centres, and of a struggle to Overflow the boundaries assigned by nationality and to commingle with other races'! Is not the problem universal? Take the case of Canada first. Is not the Oriental thundering at our doors, and are not our statesmen driven to their wits' end to devise some constitutional means of keeping him out? Is it not the same in South | Africa, in Australia? Does not the danger threaten the Western Ameri- cnu States, and are we not sometimes confronted with a vision of that Ar- i mageddon in which the Yellow races 1 will engage in a death struggle with I tho White for the mastery of the ; (told? We may too be told by the historian and philosopher that all this j was inevitable; that it is but the i working out of the great purposes of ■ nature; that the puny arm of man can 1 iiot stay its progress; that no single I nationality and no race can bar the advance of the world. But how many .of lis have reflected to whnt extent the I white races have brought this trouble on themselves? Is it certain lhat the present crisis would ever have been reached if the ■•aces had continued to struggle as did , the cave man? Why is the world iver-popnlnted? Is it not because nil i-aces are too much pampered in this : age? Take one line of thought. There is hardly a country which docs not pride itself on vital statistics which show a constantly-diminishing death-rate; yet how few political economists hnve the courage to say that the application of science to alleviate disease, to ward it ofl, to relieve suffering and to render life more sanitary and therefore safer, is one of the most pro- I lific contributants to the problem of over-population. Fifty years ago, the argument might sometimes he heard that wars were sent by Providence to keep the population down, and few better reasons hnve ever been assigned. The snme is true of pestilence and famine. But owadays we nre not content to let lese notaural and divine scourges ,-ork their own result; we must by /ery means at our command palliate iffering and prolong life. What with our Red Cross nurses, ir antiseptic treatment, our medicnj ana ambulance corps and enforcement of hygiene, even in the ranks, we Hnd the percentage of deaths among the wounded in war has been reduced enormously, to sny nothing of the tens if thousands whose lives have been saved by the observance of sanitary and hygienic conditions. The same is true of the precautions which are now taken to provide against famine and pestilence. It is true that Joseph set an example in respect to the former when he stored up the produce of seven years of plenty to provide against seven lean years; but it is doubtful if his conduct was prompted by the Bame considerations as now actuate our too industrious protectors of human life. Nor must we forget that this war against death which science is so successfully (!) waging is not by any means confined to the white races; indeed, it is doubtful whether any people in the world have advanced so far along these lines as the Japanese. So that, as a matter of fact, sanitary and medical science which attained their apogee among the white races is responsible for the cessation of. the famine and pestilence which could formerly be counted upon to decimate the ranks of the Hindus to the extent of one or two millions a year, nnd which operates nlong the same lines throughout the world. Seriously, is this universal struggle against death a paying proposition? Instead of allowing the fittest to survive, has it not tended to preserve the unfit? Instead of keeping the population of a country down to a reasonable limit, has it not tended to overproduction to such an extent that, in spite of a falling birth-rate, we have at least half a dozen countries congested, struggling for wider bounds, and creating world problems? What is the German menace but apprehension of German aggression, and whnt is responsible for German ag- gresion but the enormous increase in population duo to the practical application of science by the most scientific nation in the world? There is n good deal of talk nowadays about eugenics, tlie idea apparently being to breed only the fit from well-mated parents. But surely tills is beginning at the wrong end. Would it not be wiser first lo get rid of the unfit and to check those abnormal and so-called scientific interferences with the course of nature which are todny filling the civilized world with millions of neurasthenics, imbeciles and degenerates, nil through thc excessive survival of the unfit? If these and the pariahs of subjected races could be got rid of, either by war, pestilence or famine, there would be more room to exploit the principles of the eugenic theory, and a better chance of peopling the world with men and women of the type of those wdio, we aro assured on the highest authority, were made "a little lower than the angels," and nooord- ing to another authority not quite ns high, but good enough for all practical purposes, have been "getting a lower ever since."

BRAM STOKER informs us in his "Reminiscences of Irving" that, during the early part of Sir Henry's presentation of "Faust" at the Lyceum in 1885 and onward, over 100,1100 copies of Goethe's dramatic poem were known to hnve been sold. Of late years there has been no very notable revival of tlie work on the stage, nnd some snch revival seems due. No doubt it will present itself belong long; it is the more to be expected because the twentieth century temper, thanks to psychical research and the general widening of the old nineteenth century materialism, is more friendly to the so-called supernatural than has been the case since Goethe's "Faust" was published. As a play, of course, the main interest lies in Gretehen's love and her tragic end; but the supernatural accessories lend an interest to the human story, even to those who regard them as purely fanciful. There is also the beauty of the poetry—a beauty which is sadly lessened by even the best translation—and the philosophic wisdom which is embodied in many of Faust's speeches and soliloquies; but, as a play, the love story and the supernatural clement are the chief attraction. The former is Goethe's contribution, perhaps more or less autobiographical; the latter is taken from the legend, which is part history and part myth. Johnnn Faust was born during the last half of the fifteen century at Knitllingen in Wurlemberg. He studied nt Cracow, whose university wns even then of more than a century's standing, and probably acquired there that scientific knowledge —if it ean he dignified with such a title—which was so readily eon- founded by the people with magic and occult learning. Afterwards, he travelled widely over Europe as doctor, astrologer, clairvoyant, necromancer nnd denier in general wizardry. Me- lancthon, according to bis disciple Miinlius ("Locoriini Communium Collectanea," 1">(>2) knew Faust nt Wittenberg, nnd formed a vigorous but uncomplimentary estimate of his character, which was "inquinatis- simn," full of all foulness; Fanst wns "turpissimn best in, ct cloaca miil- toriiin dinboloruin," a most infamous beast, and a filthy ehnnncl of many devils. Meluiiclhon appears also to have believed the popular rumour thnt Faust was killed by direct agency of fiends—rent to pieces or strangled by Satan, as described by the Protestant theologian Johnnn Gast ("Convivinlium scrmonum Liber," 1648, Vol. II.), who knew Fnust nnd had "dined with him nt Basel." This strangling by the devil was n favourite end to allege in the ense of enemies or doubtful folks iu general. The orthodox asserted it of Luther. It has thc advantage of being plausible, for difficult breathing is a frequent accompaniment of the last hours. Some forty years after Faust's death, the legend of his compact with Satan, and of his preternatural powers, wns mnde current by Augustin Lercheitner, another pupil of Melniiothdn, in his "Christlicho Bed- onken und Ei'innei'iing von Znuborei." In 1590 the story hnd reached England, and it inspired Mnrlowe with his best-known drama, It is probable that he obtained his knowledge from an English translation ("Circa," 1580) of the "Faustbnoh" of Johnnn Spies, published nl Frankfort in 1587, under the title "llislorin von Dr. Johnnn Faustcn, dom Weilboschroiton Zuulioi'or nml Sclnvartzkunstler," of which only five copies are now iu existence—one in the British Museum. This hook is probably a blend ot the floating legends which Spies found extant, lie described how Dr. Faust, by means of profane learning nnd curious arts, "won power over things that be iu lhe air and on thc enrlh, yen, and over those more fearful things that be under lhc earth. For, after that he had many days studied nt Cracow, he took not any more delight iu Theology, whereby God is known unto men; but forsaking altogether God's Holy Word, ho joined himself to the compnny of them tbnl hy art-magic do foretell filings lo come, aud do bring up spirits and rend lhc fates of men by the stars. . . . And in process of time ho aspired even lo subject unto bim the Evil Spirit himself, . . And in n thick wood, nigh unto Wittenberg, by his enchantments, and amid strange clamour of invisible demons and marvellous lights, he conjured lo his presence the Evil One. Who first in a fiery form, and then in shape of a grey Friar, came unto Faust; and they mnde th".'c between them a covenant, Hint for twenty-four yenrs the "'vi., under the namo Mepliislopheles, should serve Faust as a master. And when twenty-four years should be ended, Faust should be given over to him that had served him, for ever, and ever." Accordingly, Mephistopheles provides worldly pleasures of various kinds, and Faust indulges in riotous living. (Almost nll the incidents described are used hy Goethe in Pnrt I of his "Faust.")' "And when the last year drew to an end, there fell heavy sadness on Fnust, and he told Ihem that were with him of his dealings with the Evil One, and how the time granted unto him would be ended at midnight. And at midnight a great wind arose, and beat upon the lntise, and they that slept therein heard dismal and hellish sounds, as of snakes hissing, and Faust crying for mercy. And in the morning his dead body was found, grievously torn, without the house. Such meed was his from the devil, to whom he had given himself." This "Fnustbuch" supplied Marlowe with nearly all the principal incidents and characters of his tragedy. No other source has been discovered ns contributory. It was first performed in 1589 or possibly 1588. "The characters were rough hewn and transferred without much nicety of setting from the old story book; but their movement—rapid, resolute and renl—gives opportunities for mighty bursts of passion, and even for thrilling touches of pathos" (Ward). The chief fault is. the incongruous effect caused by the crude juxtaposition of elevated and burlesque scenes, as if (to quote Dowden in his "Shak- spere") a group of Dutch boors carousing in a tavern of Tenders were transferred into some great sacred or classical composition by Da Vinci or Rafael. The chief excellence is in the imagery and ease of Marlowe's "mighty line," ns in thc oft-quoted couplet on Helen: "Is this the face that launched a thonsnnd ships And burned the topless towers of Ilium?" Marlowe's tragedy was in Its turn carried into Germany by the travelling "English comedians," nnd either actually gave rise to, or at least signally influenced, the treatment of the theme on the German popular stnge. There does not seem to have been any German play before Marlowe's on the subject of Faust. Later on, Less- ing projected two versions of the story, one with and the other without the supernatural element, hut of these only fragments exist. Klinger worked the subject into a romance, "Fausts Leben, Tlialcu, und Hollen- liihrt" (171)1, which Borrow translated into English in 182(3; nnd Klingeiuann published iu 1850 his absurd tragedy, "the hero of which," said Carlyle, "is not the old Faust driven desperate by the uncertainty of human knowledge, but plain John Faust, the printer, driven desperate hy an ambitious temper and a total deficiency of cash." (The theologian Durr, of Altdorf, writing in 1070, wns apparently llie fii'Bt to identify the liliii-k-art Faust with Johaun Fust, whose inline is associated with the invention of printing in the fifteenth century; Defoe contributed to lhe propagation of some such idea in his "History of tlie Devil." There seems no good reason for thc identification,) The view of Nanmann, a Wittenberg theologian, who investigated the matter (1083), is probably the true summing up of lhc whole thing; "Faust's life is not a downright fable, nor yet a downright history, hut a middle thing." This is lhc opinion which lias prevailed generally among later scholars. Probably stories of Roger Bncon, Paracelsus, and Cornelius Agrippa formed pari of the original material for, or fused themselves into the legend. The last-named of the three alchemists was a native of Cologne, nnd "the whole of the German West wis full of the class of men of which he was the exemplar" (A. W. Ward). For hundreds of years, during the theological terrorism of Ihe Jliddle Ages, any attempt at studying nature was condemned as magic. Roger Bacon's efforts were rewarded with a fourteen years' imprisonment, nnd even n Pope (Sylvester IT. circa 950) did not escape suspicion of being in league with the devil, chiefly because lie invented a kind of clock! The materials of the "Faust" of Goethe wero drawn from the old legend or its dramatic derivatives. There is naturally a certain resemblance between thc drama of Goethe aud lhat of Marlowe, booauso the basis of each is lhc same; hut Cnl- dcron's "El Magioo Prodigioso"— which has been said lo have furnished Goethe with lhe leading idea of his "Faust"—is quite different in plot, incidents, situations, characters, and ideas. It is clear enough that Goethe owed nothing to Calderon. The material was ready to his hand in the national legend, and his treatment of it is essentially Teutonic. Mr. Bernard Shaw has often informed us (and if he doesn't know, who does?) that he can write much better dramas than Shakespeare's. If this is true, as indeed it probably is —for Mr. Shaw's meaning is that Shakespeare's greatness is in his poetic and not his dramatic power— it would be true that a dramatist much inferior to Mr. Shaw could nevertheless surpass Goethe. For, though Coleridge certainly exaggerated when he said of "Faust" ("Table Talk," II., p. 114): "There is no whole in the poem, the scenes are mere magic-lantern pictures," there is still a great deal of truth in the criticism. There is indeed much discontinuity. The " Walpurgisnacht- strauin" is thrown in without apparent reason, nnd the march of the drama is impeded by it, somewhat as the march of the story in "Wil- helm Meister's Apprenticeship" is impeded by the "Confessions of a Beautiful Soul"—which, by tbe way, was the only part that Stolberg tore out and saved, when be burnt his copy in disgust. Well, as regards these lacunae or impedimenta or obstacles, even the greatest genius may occasionally sin. Homer sometimes nods. A malicious critic might condemn Mr. Shaw's Hell-interlude (the dream of Jack Tanner and Mendoza) in "Man and Superman," as a similar interruption, if we did not know from Mr. Shaw himself that he is super- Shakespeare. Ko doubt he was thinking of "Odyssey XL," and its copy in "Aeneid VI.," and could not resist the temptation. Where Virgil fell, who can blame Mr. Shaw for succumbing likewise? (To be Continued.)

DECEMBER J3, 1913 No. 7 The Stage and Morals rE are most of us familiar with the recent action of the Bishop of Kensington and others who so severely censured the performance of Mile. Gaby Deslys at the Palace Theatre in London. Following this, Mr. Bernard Shaw in a long letter to The Times lias token up the cudgels in defence of what he calls "voluptuous art." He says: "The suggestion, gratification, and education of sexual emotion is one of the main uses nnd glories of the theatre. It shares that function with nil the fine arts." The Bishop replying tackles Mr. Shaw on his own ground: "For since," he says, "Mr. Shaw appears to admit that sexual emotion is susceptible of education, he will grant that it may be wrongly educated as well as highly educated. It is possible to suggest evil as well as good, and because sexual emotion is capable of being educated by the fine arts to the enjoyment of 'such beauty, refinement, and expression of the higher human qualities thai, our young people contemplating' the products of the higher art, 'will lind baser objects of desire repulsive,' and precisely for that reason (here exists the possibility of so perverting it by the suggestion of evil thnt those baser objects of desire will no longer repel, but attract." Tlie letters of Mr. Shaw and the Bishop have been widely discussed; but the balance of opinion seems to be on tho Bishop's side, and the recent comments of a Continent ul paper on the lone of English music halls has attracted the attention of the British public which objects to a slur on its respectability. As the Bishop poinls out there is a difference between the suggestion of sexual emotion nnd the suggestion of vice. We think the British public will bnck lhe Bishop, ns when the ave jo Britisher wants to contemplate the sugges- ' -'iotrfif vice, lie 'usually p*"'' te do it on the Continent, not iu London. Hodem Women HE Sun Francisco Argonaut, commenting on the seizure in New York of aigrettes worn by fashionable women, snys: "The modern woman of fashion would scalp a living baby if she needed the scalp for decorative purposes." Surely Ibis is pulling lliings a little too strongly. Thoughtless, and pleasure loving the fashionable woman mny bo, but she is not necessarily a human monster. Tn the matter of aigrettes women may nol always know Hint to procure these feathers the parent bird must be killed during tho nesting season and the young birds are left to die of starvation. The people who do know it nre the cruel hunters who kill, men who are in touch wilh lhc realily of the tragedy, and the vendors who display the plumage to tempt women to buy. How many women know of the ninny cruel ways in which tlie fur bearing animals are trapped? The trappers and dealers are far more guilty of cruelty than the women who only see the beautiful dressed skins in bright shop windows. Men brought women Ihese things, and yet they would blame them for the slaughter of birds and animals. Is this logic? Or is it only the old Adam cry of tbe woman to blame? The Argonaut goes on to sny that the law wns lhe only wny to stop the wickedness of Ihese aigrette-loving women. There are a few things men do which women would like to have stopped by law, hut Ibis is not so easy to effect while the low-making is nil on one side, Domestic Help HE question of domestic help has been labelled us a problem nnd has been the theme of much discussion. At the present moment we understand Hint there are many young women in this city who are in need of employment nnd consequently the scale of wages has decreased. An interview with the manageress of one of our lending employment agencies corroborates this information. But nl the snme time n girl who Is renlly enpuble of Inking entire charge of a kitchen or any oilier responsible work will not go out for twenty dollars a month. When Ihey do it is lhe exception, not lhe rule. It is only lho mediocre who nre glad to get the lower wage. There is also a large cluss of lhe hopelessly incompetent, who excuse themselves with the cry, "Mother always did that." Then there is the class, largely drawn from the Old Country, which is a great difficulty; they do nol know how to do anything, and nobody knows whnl lo do wilh Ihem. After one experience of the type they nre easily recognizable. They "have never been used to doing Hint sort of work"; "at home lhe servnnls always did Hint," etc. lu addition I" this wiinl of adaptability, Ihey are continually grumbling at lho country, nnd are continually harping on the oomforts they were accustomed to "nt home." This sort of thing will not do nl all, and ns soon ns new arrivals realize it the belter. On Hie oilier band we are lold on good authority thnt there are ninny women in A'ictoria who are positive "slave-drivers." They have absolutely no consideration, no common sense, nnd nre absolutely unfit to hnve control of a domestic menage, producing a state of affairs which a really competent woman could not be expected to tolerate. Wlien not of the slave-driving type, some women mnke confidents of the girls, telling them family affairs in one mode, nnd in another freezing up when they are afraid they hnve gone too far, It is quite possible to show a friendly interest and consideration for Ihe health and comfort of an enployee without making a bosom friend of her which is not in Hie interests of either party. Whore a happy medium is struck it is quite possible by taking a little trouble to engage compel ent domestic help nnd in nearly every ease, a nice woman is a fnr moro suitable person lo have aboul the house than a Chinaman. Further query brought forth the information thnt Scotch girls are generally the most suited to the needs of Ibis country. English girls nre too particular and want big pny for very little work. This is speaking generally, of course. The average Canadian girl does nol lnke kindly to the idea of domestic service. This is a pity, bul she is brought up to hnve so much freedom and good times that she cannot bear control of nny sort. The trouble of it is when she is married, in the majority of enses she has to suddenly turn to and do everything in the house. She becomes, in fact, her husband's domestic servant, without the wages. A Suffrage Deputation HE latest event of importance in the suffrage movement took place last Wednesday morning when a Deputation representing the City of Vnneouver were accorded an audience with Mr. Bowser. Their object was to ask for a Government measure grunting equal suffrage to women to be brought forward during this Session. In reply, Mr. Bowser told the Indies Hint he himself wns personally opposed to the idea of woman suffrage, but that the Executive wns divided on the question. He advised the delegates to seek a Private Member's Bill, but his suggestion wns met with the reply lhat nothing but a Government measure would be accepted, as a Private Member's Bill would be certainly voted down.

THE only argument ngninst woman's suffrage which ever appealed lo me was the possibility of loss of British prestige in India should Englishwomen have the vote. The man of the Enst is supposed to hold woman absolutely us a chattel and it is argued that he would despise a nation who allowed women to take part iu the government of the country. At first this seems a very powerful argument and one which every woman who hns the welfare of the Empire nt heart will pause to consider. India is a vast country with nn enormous native population. The lower element are nn ignorant untutored mass and it is scarcely likely they would have much to say on such subjects ns lhe franchise in England, As long ns it did not affect (hem materially it would not make one particle of difference. In nn nble article entitled, "The Imperial Issue," published in (he Men's League handbook on Woman Suffrage, Lady Selborne says, "Some people have tried to alarm us about India, but it is impossible to believe thai the natives who yielded obedience so long to a Queen would refuse it to n King because he had allowed n certain number of women to lake part in choosing the House of .Commons. Those Indians who are sufficiently educated to appreciate the working of the British constitution would nlso understand the Western view of women, though they might nol sympathise with it themselves." Again touching on the Imperial issue. Lndy Selboiirne says. "There is no difference between a woman's point of view and n man's in regard to the Empire: so I do not think that there is any reason to believe lluil Women's Suffrage will hnve much direct effect on Imperial politics. The good effects which we may hope for are indirect, and will arise from Ihe grenler interest women will take in lhe Em pire, when they huve a vote iu choosing lhe men who hnve to govern it. "A priori, one might reason thut giving ti woman a vote is the most direct way of telling her that she is a responsible citizen, and that she is bound to do what she can for the good of her country. I distrust theorizing, but such evidence ns we have goes to show that this theory has truth in it. When women vote as well us men, the sense of responsibility for the safety of the Empire seems to be more keenly felt. As we know, New Zealand, whcie women have bad the vote for the longest time, wns the first colony to spring to the aid of the Mother Country during the Boer war, and I have seen it slated that the number of men who cume voluntarily from there to light in Africa bore the same proportion to the size of the population as the whole number of men who went from here (Britain) did to the population of the United Kingdom. "Australia also has certainly become not less but more Imperial in sympathy during the last twenty years. Both countries have seriously faced the problem of their own defense, and adopted a scheme of compulsory military service. The readiness of a nation to undertake troublesome duties from motives of public spirit hns always been held to be a sign of n healthy citizenship; und we may see here that the conferring of the right to vote on women hns not been followed by any weakening of patriotism, or a disposition to elect members who neglect to provide for the safety of the country. "Women have always had n great influence on the public opinion of n nation, and 1 think, therefore, il is sound policy to educate them and interest them in the national well-being. They will have (bis influence whether you give them the vote or not, but the possession of Hie voie will deepen their sense of responsibility." students. These archives are now stored in systematised order in the basement under the Court House ill Montreal. They included old plans of the city, and records of and manuscripts by the early French settlers. Lately Mr. Lemienx has undertaken the organization of Juvenile Courts iu Montreal and also of a Board of Censors of cinematograph pictures. Both these new organisations are administrated and controlled by hiin. To a representative of the Canadian Gazette who met him, Sheriff Lemienx talked of his work in connection with these two new departments. "'I'he cinematograph in Canada has entered very largely into the life of the people. In Montreal alone there are (lfi,l)00 seals in cinema theatres. The Board of (.'elisors, of whicli 1 am president, hns to puss every film shown in Montreal, Unfortunately till the films exhibited come from the United Stales, and we found at lirsl that in nearly all of them the United Stales (lag was prominent.

APPROPOS of the recent controversy between the Bishop of Kensington and Mr. Shaw over Ihe question of the theatre and morality, Mr. Henry Arthur Jones has written an amusing letter to his famous contemporary:— "My dear Shaw. '' I have a young friend—a very young friend—who hails your recent enlargement of the bounds of morality. He tins written a play which seems to me likely to advance your views—if we can only get it produced. Ils dramatis personne nre live Hottentots, eleven monkeys, and thirteen goals, They are all quite linked, and delightfully unashamed. There is no coherent story, no vestige of a plot, and no discoverable purpose. Tlie characters simply come ou, nnd talk, talk, talk, talk, in the frankest way—1 am sure it will please you. 'I'he dialogue is not so witty ns your own, but it is I'm' more fearless. "My own criticism of the piece is thut the eleven monkeys seem lo ine superfluous, our simian gibherings and antics being already sufficiently reproduced in our musical comedies and revues. However, my young friend's monkeys huve the advantage of being quite nuked, while their congeners in revues und musical comedies are partially dressed. "And now, how can we get our young friend's play produced1! I hnve sent him on lo you, as being the very mini to see il through. You mny object that if this play is done, you will find il difficult to go one heller. Slill, I lake il we are mil lo shock people one wny or Ihe olher, ond if this primary object is obtained, I hope you will be content with some measure of temporary self-effacement. "Steadying myself to regain my mental nnd moral balance.—I nm, "Always cordially yours, "Henry Arthur Jones." NAVAL SUPREMACY AT Hie Lord Mayor's banquet in London last month, there wns u notable declaration by Mr. Churchill on llie nnvnl policy, snys The Loudon Times. "The First Lord stated that Ihere must be no relaxation of our efforts to maintain tbe supremacy of the Navy. Next year, he said, it would be his duty, should he continue to be responsible for tbnl department of the Stale, to presenl to Parliament esti- mnles substantially greater lhan the enormous sum voted in the present year. He dwelt specially upon Ihe necessity for the nation lo obtain supremacy also in the machinery for aerial defense, nnd this was a point which obviously touched lhe imagination and deeply stirred the feelings of the company. In order to achieve Hint position, Mr. Churchill snid, we would have to pay, year after year, more money, and month nfter month, a loll of life; but it wns called for, not only in Ihe inleresl of naval supremacy bill of national security." and what tin enormous business they could do in Canada if they would hut wake up to the opportunity. If we could only get films of British subjects, British scenes, British nctors and actresses, and British life generally, they would not only be immensely popular, but Ihey would do n grent deal to inculcate and foster British sentiment. "Over 100 films pass before the Board of Censors every day, and Ihey nie cum Cully scrutinised Films bearing our mark of approval are passed without further examination in Alberta, Saskatchewan, nnd Ontario. We charge the makers $1. for each roll of 1,000 feel, and heavy lines ure imposed if nny film is exhibited without our stump, nnd Hie film is confiscated, "The idea of a Board of Censors originated after we hnd organised Juvenile Courts iu Montreal, ll wast found lhat so many of the juvenile culprits hnd been demoralised by the cinema shows, which exhibited scenes of violence nnd crime. Today no child under 15 years of age is allowed lo attend n cinema show unless accompanied by some grown-up person. Milch bus been done lo slop juvenile crime in Montreal. "—Canadian Gazelle.

Page Six THE WEEK Saturday, December 13,1913 REAL ESTATE & FINANCE HOSE & BROOKS CO., LTD. Distributors, Vancouver, B. 0. MUCH time nnd thought is being given by lhe Postmaster- General to the question of preparing a parcels post system for the people of Canada. He has met the representatives of the railways of Canada and discussed the question of the new parcels post system from the transportation standpoint. The chief point to be settled between the Government and the railways is the question of compensation. The Dominion now pays the railways annually an amount somewhat in excess of two million dollars for carrying the mails. The companies have been insisting for some time thnt this sum, in view of the greatly-increased volume of mail traffic and for other reasons, ought to be increased. Wtili lhe prospect of very considerable additional haulage, by reason of the parcels post system, the railways are now said to be asking for a very substantial increase, amounting to nearly double the sum now paid. This would work out to nbout six millions annually for the carriage of mails, including parcels, fir the land service alone. The task now before the Post- mnster-Genc.-al is to strike some rea- sonal'.e medium which will be satisfactory to the railways without entailing too heavy a strain upon the postal service or prejudicing the success of the new parcels post system. Whatever arrangement is ngreed upon there is no doubt but thnt the interests of Canada will not suffer in the hands of the Postmaster-General. He has shown himself nn nble administrator nnd nn excellent business mnn. The railways will get their fair share and the people will not ho lhe losers. SINCE enrly November, the first real effect of the new American Tariff Bill on the country's customs revenue hns disclosed itself. Tlie hill wns signed on October 3, but, although the collections on a similar amount of merchandise would naturally be smaller with a lower tariff, there was so great a withdrawal of goods from hooded warehouses (lo lnke advantage of llie reduced duties) that October's receipts at the United States otistom houses were $30,138,000, ns compared with $30,210,000 in October of Inst year, and $25,757,000 in October, 1911. In the first twelve dnys of November, however, according lo the latest Treasury statement from Washington, thc customs collections foiled to mnke any such favourable comparison, The total amount received in import duties was $7,505,0011, as compared with $0,100,000 in the corresponding twelve dnys of last November, nnd with $10,104,000 in the snme period of 1011. From last your the decrease was 15 per cent.; from two years ago. 30 per cent. Thnt some reduction in customs reeeipls would follow onnet- ment of the lower tariff schedu'e wns expected; but it hnd nlso been predicted Hint the lowering of tariff barriers would lend foreign manufacturers immediately to increase their shipments of goods here, which would compensate partly for the changes made. Such an increase in imports litis not occurred. In the six weeks dating from October 4—lhe day following the enactment of the new tariff law, to Saturday, November 8, the imports of general merchandise at New York were $93,846,000, as compared with $107,566,000 in the snino six weeks of Inst yenr, nnd with $04,614,000 in the same weeks of 1911. The tariff changes hnve not yet, it is seen, Induced nctivily on the pnrt of foreign manufacturers in supplying this market—New York Post. if THE position of Canada in the money market of England is ns strong ns ever for those who wish to do legitimate business. This is shown eloquently by thc confidence shown in Government bonds by the small Engi- lish investors. Annual returns show that the funded debt of the Dominion is practically nll held in London, England. The funded debt of Cnnnda payable in London amounts to nearly two hundred nnd sixty millions of dol lars, according to the financial statement on October 30th. The same statement shows the funded debt payable in Cnnnda to he two and a quarter millions. But on November 1st the Government paid off about a million und n liulf of this, being the nmount of ti domestic loan at 4 per cent, raised in 1S83. This reduces the funded debt payable in Canada to about three-quarters of u million only, consisting of savings bank stock issued many years ago. The only borrowing of the Government in Canndn is represented by the deposits iu the Government nnd Post Office savings banks, amounting to $55,452,000, and which, of course, differs from funded debt in Hint it may be recalled hy the depositors ut tiny time. AS nn illustration uf the risks run by insurance companies in con- neclioii witli automobile hazards, a recent decision given by Mr. Justice Archer iu the Superior Court of Montreal is of considerable interest. With several other school boys, a tl lie lad got on the running board of an ice waggon nnd either fell oil1 or wns pushed off by some of his companions, thereby sustaining a fracture of one leg. Action wus then tnken by lhe father of the child ngninst the owner of lhe ice waggon for a sum of $1,000 for damage sustained through the injury to the hid, thc father pleading that liis sun hnd been run over by Hie rear wheel of the automobile, notwithstanding the fact that the weight of the vehicle was between seven und eight thousand pounds. It would seem to hnve boon obvious Hint, if such n thing had happened, lhe boy's limb would hnve been crushed lo n pulp. Nothwithstanding this, suit wns brought for the amount named. The case of lhe proprietor of the ice waggon wus defended hy lbe Imperial Guarantee tnul Accidont Insurance Compnny, who proved Hint Hie chauffeur hnd done his full duly hy stopping lhe vehicle once ill going a distance of one hundred yards from the office to lhe garage, and driven tlie children nwny. However, when lie started again, several of the children jumped mi lhe second lime, und iu either gelling on or fulling nil' before lhe gat-age wns reached, one of them wns injured as described. The action for damages was dismissed with costs, but ns Hie father of the child is a poor mnn, il is not likely Hint tbe insurance eouipuny's costs enn he recovered. A fuel Hint stands nut in connection with Hie case is Ihal, if the insurance company hud tint been nble to prove Hint the chauffeur hud compelled Hie children to gel off his vehicle, the compnny would probably huve lieen compelled tu pny (Inmatrea and costs iu lho ense, ns tlie law seems lo lie thnt in dealing wilh children, il is mil only necessary In use words tn forbid any notion which mny endanger their safety, bul tlinl, if necessary, force musl be used lo compel obedience, No doubl Ihis foot will he remembered not only by insurance companies who tuny have similar cases lo settle, but nlso by the owners nf automobile nud motor trucks generally. MEN interested in ihe Vancouver Progress Club nnd in Hie progress of the cily, hnve proposed Hint n chamber nf oommerce he organized. Hie proposal being lo absorb all olher public service bodies in Grenler Vancouver, nnd Hius centralise the work. A committee will meet the Vnnoouvor Hoard of Trade und olher organisations to discuss the mutter of general amalgamation. While it is believed this move is n good one, it is radical nnd menus the praeticnl retiremenl of llie Board uf Trade, which hns long been nn institution in Vnneouver. If nll energies enn be centralized, n good work enn be accomplished. The club hnd mi expert on commercial club work, Mr. 11. V.

This will surprise many who hud assumed that the telegraph companies would be nmong the lirst affected by a general slowing down in stock exchange and general business. An official of one of the comptinies states that in a period of real depression, such as in 1907, telegraph tolls are one of the first expenses whicli most concerns try to cut down. This year, although some houses hnve been economizing in the mntter of telegrams and cables, the majority of the larger houses have been increasing their tolls, and the net result bus been a substantial increase in the receipts of telegraph stud cable companies operating in Canada. It is understood that the Great North- Western Telegraph Company's receipts for October were from 15 to 17 per cent, in excess of those last year, and that every month in 1913 thus far has shown an increase over the corresponding month lust yenr. The Anglo-American Cable Company has also been showing increases in earnings, largely as a result of the plnn adopted nbout u yenr ngo of receiving messages at a greatly reduced rate for delivery any time within the following twenty-four hours. This deportment is n success. IN un article on the business re- net ion in Cnnada, Mr. Eckhardt says: "All who understand clearly the developments of the pnst year consider thut striking testimony of the soundness and strength of the bunking system has been supplied. The rush of prosperity wus entirely unprecedented so fnr us Cnnnda wns concerned, And few, if any, other countries huve experienced such rapid relative development. If the bunking system hnd been nt nil weak or unsound in nny important respect, the sudden check to the external borrowings nnd lhe transition from the rushing pace of a year or so ago to the quieter period of Hie present would hnve occasioned some great collapses. Bul mil u single bunk failure has occurred: the banks have gone abend ns iisunl paying nil liabilities as they accrued nnd discounting paper for their customers, nud, so far as is known, none of Ihem hnve hud to be helped." The activities of Montreal city's pure fond department during 1913 resulted In the destruction of approximately 1,000,000 pounds of various f Islulfs until for human consumption. Tlie famous English const met ion firm, the Metropolitan Carriage Waggon and Finance Company, hnve offered to construct a British manufacturers' exhibition train to tour Canada, send it across tho Atlantic und ro-ereet it ut Montrcnl. Some manufacturers are already hooking space ill the train, though all arrangements are in a very elementary stage.
