The Week ii British Columbia Newspaper and Review. fol. XI, No. 20--Eleventh Year Victoria, B.C., Canada, June 28, 1913 5c. a copy, $2.00 a year The Lion and the Lily MONSIEUR POINCAIRE, tlio worthy son of a respectable wine-grower, and President of the French Republic, is visiting England in his official capacity, nnd in the words f the London daily press is receiving a welcome rarely accorded to ings. All this is as it should be. It may bo regarded as the ftermath of tho successful endeavours of our late king to establish ie most friendly relations with the neighbouring republic, a policy 'hich has been continued by His Majesty, King George. The mere let that the president of n republic is a man of humble origin, and lat the republic is a democracy furnishes the strongest reason for •eating him with the utmost respect, possibly even with a little lore than might be considered necessary in the case of a monarch, hit one can hardly help recalling the seas of blood through which ie French nation waded to republicanism and its present form of ivernment. It is impossible at such a time to forget the horrors of ie French Revolution nnd of the Second Empire, or even of the lommune after the capitulation of Paris. Neither is it possible to irget thut the French Republic is built on the ashes of a dethroned ristocracy, which provoked its own destruction by the ostentatious ixury which characterized its regime. These reflections are in- vitnbly recalled when one reads of tho Royal gold plate being used n the occasion of the Poincaire banquet nt Buckingham Palace, 'robably tit such a time President Poincaire thought only of his llustrious host and the courtesies which were being extended to the omitry which he represented. It is hardly likely that he thought f the poverty and misery which drove his own fellow-countrymen o bloody revolution, or of the tens of thousands nf starving children ti the East end of London who never eat off a plate nnd who typify n this century, as the hungry French children did in the ISth cen- ury, the unsolved problem of the submerged tenth. Military Matters A T the moment Victoria is an important military centre, what A* with the Provincial military encampment at Sidney and the ^ -^ presence of General Sir Ian Hamilton, Col. the Hon. Sain lughes with their party anil staff. In spite of the amusing hostility f a small section of the community, the military spirit is growing n Canada. Tho movement is not as rapid ns one could wish, but the ;oal is certain. At some time in the future, and let us hope not in he far future, Canadians everywhere will appreciate the importance f military training and the responsibility for fitting themselves to day their part like men. During the recent debate on the Naval Resolutions a good deal was said as to the humiliation of hiring ships nd men to do our fighting. The spectacle of which the display at Sidney is but a fraction illustrates the determination of our people to ireparo to do their own fighting, to defend their own hearths and lomes and to repel any possible invader. It means more; it means Canada preparing to shoulder arms at the call of the Empire, and uch a spirit will be fostered and strengthened by the presence of so listinguished an officer as Sir Ian Hamilton and so energetic and de- ermined a Minister as Colonel, the Hon. Sam Hughes. The general las rendered distinguished, not to sny brilliant service, especially in South Africa. He is in the prime of life; full of enthusiasm, and cith his record no more suitable officer could have been chosen to o-ordinate the military forces of the Over-Seas Dominions. The ;eneral has received the heartiest welcome from Victoria. He was specially gratified nt his reception by the South African veterans, tinny of whom he hnd met before. Victoria takes off its hat to one vho has served the Empire so well and anticipates the most satisfae- ory results from his official visit. Hunger Strikes EVIDENCES are accumulating that the day of reckoning between the Asquith Administration nnd the British electorate is rapidly approaching. The loss of nlmost every bye-election s something more than a straw to show which wny thc wind blows. fust what influences will determine the date of the appeal mny be in ome doubt, but among them must undoubtedly bo reckoned the an- ipathy of the British constituencies to Home Rule, the disquieting fleet of the Marconi scandals and the breakdown of the legal mncliin- ry which hns been ineffectually trying to vindicate the majesty of lie law in connection with the outrages of the militant suffragettes, n a country where there is no "militancy" nnd where, so far, women ave endeavoured to secure their ends by legitimate means, it is not asy to realize the profound indignation of the English people at the Her incompetency of the Asquith Administration in this connec- !on. The latest development vindicates the opinion which has been eld all along by those who hnve studied tho subject, viz, thnt hunger strikes" would ultimately extend not only to other classes f women prisoners but to men. And now wo are confronted with lie scandal of the liberation of tho chemist, Clayton, who furnished lie suffragettes with bombs. Just because he chose to go on n hunger strike" he wns liberated after five days confinement. Why i' should have been liberated at nil passes comprehension, especially s there have been numerous instances of men fasting ns long ns forty ays without any ill effects. However, the netion of Clayton raises ho question in another form. What will the Government do if there houlrl bo a general hunger strike among mnle prisoners? Nothing ould better illustrate the unwisdom of the course which hns been nirsued, pr of the ill judged leniency which has been shown to those idio, oven if suffragettes, are first of nil criminals. The Passing of a Duke BY the death of the fourth Duke of Sutherland the British Empire loses a good man, a progressive citizen, an enlightened administrator and one of the foremost representatives of that feudal aristocracy which in this advanced age still holds millions of acres of inherited land. The Duke wns not altogether "ns other men"; his manner was marked by a striking reserve, which isolated him from all but his most intimate friends. In later years this trait has developed, probably ns the result of the illness from which he suffered and which carried him off long before he could be accounted an old man. While he lacked the energy and constructive- ness of his distinguished father, who was a typical man of the people, he was one who conscientiously laid himself out to administer his vast estates with justice to all those affected and in consequence largely impoverished his income by making enormous expenditures for their improvement. Fifteen years ago he bognn n system of retrenchment, largely due to the falling value of land, or rather rentals. He tried to sell Trcntham Hull, one of the most resplendent of the ducal residences, the place where his father entertained the Shall of Persia in the early '70's. Failing in this he presented it to the Staffordshire County Council for a permanent museum. More recently ho was reported to have sold his magnificent town residence, Stafford House, n circumstance which created world-wide surprise, but which does not seem to hnve been any too GENERAL SIR IAN HAMILTON', G.O.B., D.S.O. Inspector General nf the Overseas Forces I'holo by Duftus Bros., Capetown o well authenticated. Latterly he commenced acquiring lnrge areas nf Inud iu Canada, chiefly in .\IIhtIh nnd British Columbia nud had organized n well conceived colonization scheme under which he proposed to bring out farmers nnd their families from his own estates and settle them iu the Now World. From this it will lie seen that he was a true Imperialist and a man of ideas. There is little doubt thnt if he had been spared to carry his plans to fruition, he would have been the moans of settling many thousands of people on Canadian soil, .lust how this work may he affected by his death remains to be seen. The Duke wns a man of the kindliest disposition. Never robust; in health, and never taking any prominent part in public affairs, he preferred the fireside or the seclusion of his own grounds, and if for one so largely endowed nnd occupying such nn influential position lie failed to make nny great mark in the world, he nt lenst showed a humanness and a sympathy which bus nol always characterized the great landowners. Of him it mny well be snid, ns of many other men, thnt he wns culled away before ho hnd finished his work, and it is impossible to judge of that work ns n whole or to doubt thnt when completed it might hnve brought him not only credit but fame. Mr. Home Payne IT NEVER occurred to The Week only n week ngo, when commenting on the invaluable services nf Mr. Home Payne In British Columbia, in connection with the financing of snme nf our big projects, that in n low hours he would become the centre of a storm which has raged from lho Atlantic to the Pneific nnd mnde him the most talked of man in the Dominion. Like most storms it burst on an unsuspecting public without the slightest warning and resulted from some remarks reported to have been made by the great financier at a meeting of one of the companies of which he is chairman. Stated in the fewest words, the report is that Mr. Home Payne warned his hearers against over-investment in Canadian securities and practically advised them to boycott municipal loans. The Victoria Times very properly remarks that "before tearing a passion to tatters or shrieking imprecations on his head, it might lie ns well to learn definitely what he said." Sir Donald Mann, who, with the single exception of Sir William Mackenzie, is nearer to Mr. Home Payne than any man in Canada by reason of the fact that the latter has negotiated all the enormous loans which have been effected by the Canadian Northern in London, scouts the possibility of such words having been used. Sir Richard MeBride, with a full knowledge of Mr. Home Payne's services to the country and the investments he represents, does not for one moment believe that he said anything of the kind. Thc writer of this paragraph has known Mr. Home Payne tolerably well for seventeen years and can only say that such an extreme, not to say reckless, statement is so unlike his ordinary studied method of speech that it is impossible to give the rumour credence. Under the circumstances it would be most satisfactory if a statement could be obtained from Mr. Home Payne. lie may hnve said something upon which the rumour wns based; ho may even have gone ns far as Mr. Max Aitken, who advised greater caution in placing municipal bonds on the market and said that municipalities and provinces hnd over- borrowed. Allowing for different temperaments and their different methods of expressing the same idea, such remarks would not vary substantially from the statement recently put forward by the most conservative financier in Canada, Sir B. E. Walker, and 'The Week for one will decline to accept thc Home Payne rumour, or to join in the hue and cry after so distinguished n financier until lie himself hns mnde n statement on the subject. That ho should have uttered a word of warning, is natural but this lays him open to no criticism. Thnt he should hnve taken a step which would seriously cripple the large interests which he represents is so inconsistent with his character ns to be incredible. Traducing British Columbia AMONG the many activities, one might almost say the recognized functions, of a strictly religious newspaper as conducted these days is the bearing of false witness against one's neighbour. The Colonist very properly culls attention to the false statements contained in n recent issue of "The Canadian Churchman" as to the moral standard of this Province. These statements arc said to be based upon representations made at a recent. Presbyterian Synod in Toronto and n Methodist Conference in Vancouver. With reference to the Vancouver Conference there is only too much reason to believe that the good men who indulged in sensational charges had been reading a certain well known sheet which is flaunted nt every street corner nnd which revels in the picturesque portrayal of vice. With respect to the Synod in Toronto, it would be too much to expect that any religious convention could be held in that "City of the Good" without violating the teaching of its Muster, "Qui vestrum iinniunis est a peceato primus in earn jaciat lapidein." The Week agrees with The Colonist that matters might be better even in British Columbia and Victoria, but that they nre worse than in other parts of Cnnndn it denies, nnd thnt there is nny possible justification for singling nut this Province for such a condemnation is a fallacy. It is not the first time that religious bodies have gone out of their way to bear false witness against their neighbour, und probably the men who nre responsible little realize what harm they do to the cause of religion imtl how they set back the clock uf reform when they class themselves with people ready lo mnke false charges on flimsy evidence nnd show themselves altogether lacking in thnt spirit of charity with which ihey nf nil men should lie expected in regard their fellows. It hns always been n puzzle lu The Week hnw the average citizen can live in Victoria, find il a good place In live in, nud see none of lhe nasty things which n visiting religions convention seems lo find out inside nf twenty-four hours. Shakespeare as Peacemaker IN the Inst number of Tho Review of Reviews is n characteristic article nn the subject of "Shakespeare ns Peacemaker." Il is not necessary to accept nil the bizarre suggest inns which the article contains in order In appreciate its spirit nnd lu endorse its object, ft lakes lhe broad ground thnt William Shakespeare is the greatest asset thnt England ever possessed; thnt he is also nn international nsset thnt his works nre rend and his plnys presented in every civilized country in the world, nnd in some of them far more consistently nnd seriously than in our own. His works are published in all languages nnd lhe greatest actors nf every tongue delight to do him honour; nnd yel we nre content tn leave nil this world enthusiasm untouched nnd to celebrate his memory annually in n provincial manner. All Ihis is perfectly true nnd it leads up to a practical nnd admirable suggestion which is thnt in lieu of the annual celebration at Stnrtford-on-Avon there should lie an international festival in which foreign countries should be asked to participate; thnt n committee should be formed in ench country where Shakespeare is studied nnd loved, which should arrange for entire companies to visit the birth-place of the bard nnd there piny in their own language the greatest plnys, possibly alternating the performances by our own actors and actresses. Tho Review of Reviews hns lieen Page Two THE WEEK Victoria, B.C., June 28, 19: responsible for many novel suggestions, some of them sensntionnl and many of them visionary, but this is one which will appeal to every thinking man. There will be common agreement that England has no greater asset than Shakespeare and as genius has no nationality he must be regarded as one of the world's greatest assets. No poet is so widely read; no dramatist so extensively represented; no man has done so much to mould human thought and to unify ethical standards. He had a mission to the world nnd today he has come to his own nnd hns fulfilled that mission. It is fitting that the overseas nations should with ourselves burn incense at Shakespeare's tomb, nnd if the opportunity is afforded there is little doubt that the response will lie universal. The Davis Cup IT IS too soon to speculate on the probable winners of the Davis Cup, but it is safe to say thut the Vietorin tennis contingent hns surprised the most optimistic votaries of the game. Both Schwengers and Powell have demonstrated that they are fit to compete in the best company. This is nothing new so far as Powell is concerned, because he has enjoyed the advantage of playing in England for several years and meeting the strongest men in the game. With Schwengers it is entirely different. With the exception of one trip East last year, when he won the Canadian championship, he has never played outside Victoria and the Sound cities, and he has never met men of the first class. Some of the best judges of the game in Victoria predicted that his visit East last year would end disastrously; that his tennis, while good at the Coast, was very much like village cricket and would collapse when tested by a higher standard. Their predictions were falsified. He beat some good men and whilst he could not hold his own with the American cracks, this was hardly to be expected at the first time of asking. The Week always maintained that he had in him tbe makings of the greatest tennis player in the .vorld. It has never varied in this opinion and it holds it today more strongly than ever. It ventures to make the prediction that if Schwengers goes to England next year he will become a world champion. The opinion is based on what he has done this season. The Field is the highest authority on tennis and at the same time the most conservative critic. It says that Schwengers gave Dixon far more trouble than Mnvrogordato did at Sur- reflections. In the first place it doubles the cost of one of the most important articles nf diet. In the next place it forces our people to drink homogenized milk nf uncertain age instead of fresh milk. Indeed, it is only another form of condensed milk and not even fresh milk under a colour. What are we coining to? There is still plenty of pasture in Saanich Peninsula to feed all the eows which would be required to supply Victoria, yet we are importing 75 per cent of our requirements and of the local product not much more than ten per cent is good unadulterated, unimpaired milk. The situation calls for some attention on the part of the civic authorities who should at least protect the public against improper tampering with an article of food on which the health of the community largely depends. Local Strawberries DURING the last week or 10 days everyone in Victoria hns been regaling themselves on the splendid local strawberries which are now on the market. It is no exaggeration to say that they are the largest, the finest and the most luscious that can be obtained anywhere. Imported ones bear no comparison whatever in quality or size. Yet market conditons aro such thnt they are yielding little or no profit to the grower, that n large percentage of the crop is not being gathered, that the market is glutted and that scores of people who came to settle in the neighbourhood of Victoria, paying fancy prices for fruit land, will not realize enough this year to cover the expenses of running their ranches. This disappointment must react against the district. It is deplorable and yet not hopeless, because it is mainly due to entire lack of organization. No fruit growing district on the Continent has been able to market its crop without co-operation. Take the Hood River district, for instance, where fruit lands have reached $2,000 an acre. The apple growers there operated at a loss until they eliminated the middleman and organized the sale of their products direct to the retailer. The same is true of the Okanagan and the Kootenay. But the Victoria district has no organized system of marketing its fruit. The strawberry crop comes on very quickly; it gluts the local market and no preparation is made to handle it in the Prairie cities where a demand really exists. Berries have fallen this week to three boxes for a quarter, which may be a matter of congratulation to the housekeeper, but does nothing Courtesy HuiMing & Finance, Ltd. biton the previous week; thnt he came within an ace of defeating Dixon, who is captnin of the English Davis Cup team and admittedly one of the strongest singles players of the day. When he had a strong lead Dixon made a lucky stroke, the ball dropping on the chalk line, which upset Schwengers and caused him to lose the set. This is Schwengers' weakness, us nil Victorians know. A reverse always affects him temporarily und nothing but the highest kind of practice will enable him to overcome the weakness. The final verdict of the Field is indeed praise of the very highest such as has never before been meted out to n newcomer in his first season. It is "Enough has been seen of the Canadian to realize the potentiality of a really great player. All he needs now is what he has never previously enjoyed, steady practice against men of his own and n superior class." After this it will lie impossible to belittle the performances of our local champion, or to think of him as other than the man who is destined to secure for Canada the highest honours in the tennis world nnil possibly to be instrumental in bringing the Davis Cup to the Inst of the Dominions to enter the competition. Victoria Milk Supply THERE is n scarcity of milk in Victoria und the genuine article is not only difficult lo obtnin but pretty nearly worth its weight in gold. This is due to the large increase in population, the selling off of a number of herds of cattle in consequence of the abandonment of farming for subdivisions and the fact thnt the bulk of the supply is now imported. Not only is milk scarce, but with one or two exceptions it falls far below a normal standard in quality. Milk is a necessary article of diet; for infants and invalids it is indispensable nnd there is no one food which plays so important u pnrt in the health of the community. To supply the domand large quantities nre now lieing brought in from Alberta. A leading grocery firm has secured the agency and disposed of thirty cases within a few days. Tho price charged for the Alberta milk, which is sold in capsuled bottles, is twenty cents a quart, or practically twice tlio price of the local product. The quality is good nnd the agents say thnt it is giving satisfaction. At any rate, the demand is greater thnn the supply. This condition of affairs raises serious being that the trophies should be competed for in Victoria each yeai The Week is satisfied that the Capital City would at least make a even break with any outside teams in a series of contests, and would furnish the finest advertisement that the Carnival and th city could have. It would take a few years for the full effect of sue a competition to lie felt, but ultimately the result would be to mak this city the Mecca of hundreds of leading athletes and their follov ers, and the recognized headquarters of sport on the Pacific Ooas The scheme is practicable; it should not be difficult. It would coi fer a unique distinction on the city and would create a eharacterist feature for the annual Carnival. New School Trustee AS was generally expected Mr. Reginald Hayward was electi by acclamation to succeed Mr. Staneland as a School Trust for Victoria. This circumstance is a tribute to Mr. Hayward popularity and the secure position which, as a very young man, 1 has secured in the confidence of the public. It is the beginning i a career of public usefulness. He has been trained in a good schoo he possesses all the necessary qualifications and there is no reast why he should not in a few years become Mayor of his native ci and so serve the community in the highest office at its disposi The Week has the greatest possible pleasure in congratulating M Hayward on his present success and in expressing the opinion th it would have been impossible to elect a more suitable school truste 71 Word in Season THE Esquimalt Council is preparing to instal a seweraj system. The surveyors are at work and the present intentit is to have the outlet opposite Harrison Island, which half way between Macaulay Point and West Bay. It is being locatt there on the supposition that a breakwater is to be built between t point of outlet and West Bay, which would prevent the sewa| from floating into the Inner Harbour and creating a serious condith of affairs for the City of Victoria. The breakwater will not constructed at that point but some half mile or more west of would would mean discharging the Esquimalt sewage inside instes of outside.

Even if the grower could sell the whole of his crop at five cents a box, he would make but a very slight profit, but when lie is only selling half his crop, it means a heavy loss. If fruit growing is to be made a commercial success, not u moment should be lost in establishing "bona fide" fruit growers' associations which will lie able to place the product in the hands of the consumer without delay and ut u profitable figure. Cleaning the Harbour IN its strictures on the filthy condition of the Inner Harbour, The Week made reference to the overflow water from the Empress Hotel laundry ns one of the contributors. The malinger of the hotel now states that when The Week first drew attention to the nuisance, nearly two years ago, the company nt once procured nnd installed a bucket pump to raise the laundry overflow to the level of the Humboldt Street sewer, and it has been doing this ever since. Further, that so anxious is the management tn prevent tho existence of a nuisance opposite thc hotel that they hnve recently installed a larger pump for the same purpose. This disposes of any ground of complaint against the Empress Hotel, but does not diminish the nuisance which actually exists. It should, however, render it easier for the sewer inspectors tn discover the offender. Carnival Championship VICTORIA'S Carnival Committee is bent on making that function a success. A varied and interesting programme has already been mapped out. The programme embodies a number of novel suggestions and The Week ventures to make one which hns not yet been canvassed. It is thnt a series of Carnival Championships should be established, and that efforts should be made to secure the donation of four or five valuable trophies, something really worth while and costing in the neighbourhood of $1,000 ench. These trophies should be distributed among the principal games, such as cricket, tennis, lacrosse, baseball and aquatics.

As n class he is making n big rl to obey the laws, and though is occasionally held up to public dignnlioii because of the shortcom- gs of some irresponsible "weaker brother," il is not fair lo gird at him unceasingly. Hidden away amongst the limbo of things forgotten, there is, I believe a law which makes it an offence for property owners to grow noxious weeds upon their grounds, if such weeds are likely to inconvenience Iheir neighbours, Thnt this lnw is not in operation must be due to Hie fact Hint it is well hidden, for surely there are opportunities enough for it tn be invoked. Perhitps one reason why it is kept so skillfuly in the background is because the city itself is such a constant offender. Thistles and such-like mny fairly be ended noxious weeds nnd Ihey are frequently to be found on city property. If we nre to hnve the civic clean-up, which some people sny is so unnecessary, it would not be a bad idea to include weeds of this kind in the general cntegory nf those things which must be destroyed. Some of my renders mny remember that at one time I mournfully regret- tod that Hie burnt area could not be turned inlo a public square with statues and fountains. At thnt time lliere might have been nn objection raised on the ground thnt Vietorin possessed no one who could fnshion a statue. Now, coincident with the news that Mr. Thomas Hooper has raised vast sums of money for building purposes of a strictly utilitarian nature, I have found a sculptor, or at any rate a very capable modeller in clay. Mr. Marco Buffort is a young man who came to the West from Luxemburg and settled in Seal tie, where he engnged in modelling work nt "Lies Beaux Arts." Having nttniu- ed a considerable measure of success in that city, but desiring to live in. British Columbia, he recently came to Victoria and brought his art with him. I had Hie pleasure of seeing a magnificent modelling of a lion, life-size, just before a east was made. The work on this animal was really wonderful, th" muscles on the flanks nnd shoulders nnd the detail work round the ferocious mouth almost mnde me forget that 1 wns in Mortimer's stone works, where the artist does his work. It is Mr. Buffort's ambition to start it modelling class in town if he can get any support. In tbe meantime I would recommend bis work to the nt- tention of those who require models for their floats in the forthcoming Carnival parade.

I wrote nbout the greet mistake which was made on Mny 24lh in leaving ihis rond to Hie lender mercies of clinncc. If lliere is nny dust anywhere lliere is always n double quantity here, nnil ns everybody knows, this bit of rond is most extensively used by tally-hos, enrringes mid automobiles, fu Ibis same connection I trust Hull due attention will In: paid In the remarks of our correspondent, whose letter nppenred in Ihe lust issue of The Week willi respect lo the crowding of Ihe Gorge Bridge. I know full well whnl Ibis bridge wns like on Victoria Day, nnd if the crowds during Hie Carnival come up lo expectation, this bridge will he lhe cniii'se nf much nnnoyance nnd inconvenience, to sny nothing of (lunger. Lnsl; Sunday I spent it profitable half-hour watching the bonis go through lho Gorge when lho title wns running in apace. I noticed lluil motor bonis showed the snnie hick of consideration hero us their cousins, the motor ears, used to show on dry land. Several of I hose crnft, I saw plough their wny through at.full speed, curing nothing for lhe canoes which lay in the offing (good nnutienl term thnt. I hope it's correct), nud in one case nl: lensl coming within nn nee of swamping the frailer bonis. The wash from these motor liiiinches, taken in conjunction with tlio swifl tide, is enough In prove n source of danger to small bonis, nnd I think if will soon he necessary for the Attorney-General to hike steps In protect the lives nf those wlio like In piuldle iheir own ennoe. Tl is good news to lenrn lluil Clifford Denham hns Inkeu over lhe mnii- ngemenl of lhe Gome Pnrk. There IT IS nbout sixteen yenrs since I first came across the subject of this sketch. He was then District Superintendent at the Nelson Division of tbe C. P. R., an active, energetic, courteous official, remarkable even then for his urbanity, precise- ness nnd reliability, a man who managed to do his duly to Ihe big corporation be represented without making any enemies, nnd essentially one who kept his eye on the possibilties of the district and did his best to embrace them. It is safe to say that no business was lost to the C. P. R. by Mr. H. E. Beosley, and be was there in the days when J. J. Hill was mjaking a tremendous splul'ge and threatening to gobble up the business of the Kootenays. Then the popular superintendent, submitting to the inevitable law of great corporations, was called to Montreal, and acted for a year or so as assistant to the president. The next time I met him he was installed in Vancouver as superintendent of No. 2 District of the C. P. R., and Inter, when the company purchased control of the E. & N. nnd looked round for the most capable man they could find to take entire charge, the promotion fell to the lot of Mr. Beasley. His reputation is the same iu Victoria as it was in the Kootenay and in the East; it is a reputation for sterling integrity and for the closest attention to business. Under bis direction the system has been extended enormously. When he came, Wellington was the terminus; today it is Alberni; tomorrow it will be Comox; next yenr, Campbell River, to say nothing of numerous branches, of which the Cowichan River is the most important. Mr. Beasley is a man of many parts; while he must be approaching fifty, he looks still to be on the sunny side of forty. With a clear eye and ruddy cheek, he is the embodiment of health and it is no surprise to lcuru that his sons, who arc making such a mark in thc athletic world, are but treading in the footsteps of their father, who wns himself a champion nthlete. Sir Thomns Shiiiighnessy enjoys lho reputation of being a tirst class judge of men. He hns certainly shown it in his selection of Mr, Beasley ns superintendent of Hie company's lines on Vancouver Island. NO dotihl there nre many men in Victoria who have deserved well of the community, men who, in tho true inclining nf the word, nre good citizens, who live respectable lives, pay their debts, mind their own business, benr no fnlse witness against Iheir neighbour nnd never miss nn opportunity lo perform n kindly act. This is the good old Knglish standard of n true mun, und it hns never been improved upon. There is one mun in Victoria who lives us near lo il ns is humanly possible nnd Hint mini is "Harry" Gibson, the Traffic Superintendent of the city lines of the II. C. K. It. Few men hnve dune more to contribute In the comfort of the community; no mun litis considered himself less iu duiug il. It matters not whether il is n hookey match, it bull, or a lute theatre, you will invariably see the figure of it silent mun standing on lhe nearest street corner, watching tlio assembling of the cars which nre there to hurry the citizens home to supper nnd bed. As lony us nil goes right he is a silenl spectator; be is content to keep in Hie background, but with the slightest necessity for interference or direction you will see him slop forward nnd with n single word or lho wave of an arm, indicate what is lo lie done. I do not know what lime Mr. Gibson goes lu bed, and it is a good thing for bis reputation Hint he is above suspicion, for ho is certainly a "night bird" nnd I have heard it said that even when he gels to bed, he lies awake thinking of something Hint might, could, would or should be done to improve I lie service ur protect the public. To his miiiiy persnnnl qualities, Mr, Gibson ndds technical knowledge und mastery of his business, which rondel' him invnlunblc tu Hie company und it most highly esteemed pub lic servant. There nre times when people "kick," but it is doubtful if any business furnishes so many opportunities for "kicking" over trifles. No doubt it is these little worries which help to keep Mr. Gibson awake at night, but if they get on his nerves he never shows it and despite the worries of what must be at times a distracting position, I have yet to meet with the first man who can charge him with lack of courtesy or consideration. I ouly hope that his company values him ns highly as the public does. MUCH has been said in The Week at different times about the admirable work done by the Indies of Victoria. Not even Toronto "the Good." which claims to be the seat of all the virtues, can produce n more zealous, devoted band of women intent on good works of a pubile character. One hns only to pick up the daily papers to see that their activities nre perennial. We hnve to thank them for all our important musicnl events, for our public demonstrations, for must uf our organized receptions, tn sny nothing of the less ostentatious but not less efficient activities of the Chapters, Leagues and Guilds which labour for lhe training and enjoyment of our young people. Among lhe ladies who have thus distinguished themselves is a comparatively newcomer lo Vietorin, Mrs. W. .1. Roper. Although n frequent visitor, Mrs. Roper only set tied in Victoria aboul a year ngo. Prior to Hull time she wns known to most people by repute ns "Mrs. Roper of Cherry Creek," her husband being one of the pioneers of the Province, n man widely known and us widely respected. Being nn energetic nnd charming woman, Mrs. Roper lost nn time in plunging "in niedins res," nnd her iiilelleclunl und sncinl qualities marked her out for n prominent position. She wns elected President nf the Navy League Chapter nf Ihe Daughters nf the Empire, lo the important work of which she devotes much of her time. This Chapter achieved considerable success nt lho recent Kermess nnd raised a lnrge sunt of money. The snme Chapter will nssneinte itself with the Federated Navy League of lho Province in connection wilh the several functions which nre in course of preparation for lhe entertainment of the officers and men of the "New Zealand." Mrs. Roper is un acknowledged leader nf society and is distinguished wherever she goes fur her exquisite gnwus.

The position is emphasized Iry the statement (lint Canada buys more from the United States than from all other nations combined. Today the United States takes almost the entire exports of Canadian minerals of all kinds, the bulk of its forestry exports, over half of the exports of manufactures and a third of its fishery exports. The United Kingdom is the principal market for.its agricultural and animal products. The larger takings of Canadian wheat constitute the principal factor that makes England loom larger in the export trade, and the prospects are that in the future the United States will take a much larger proportion of this article. The main exports from the United States to Canada consist of manufactures of iron and steel. Next come conl and coke, of which Canada is one of the largest importers in the world, and its purchases from the United States amounted to $14,102,50!), in 1912. Other large imports from the United States were wood and its manufactures, corn, oils, drugs, and chemicals, raw cotton, gutta percha nnd its manufactures, cotton goods, fruit, und leather and its manufactures. The same Washington despatch, with true Yankee pride, says that in sidle of tariff preferences Great Britain's share of the Canadian market has steadily declined before the advance of American goods. Geography undoubtedly has a lot to do with the fashioning of Canadian trade statistics, which show that in the year of confederation, the United States took 47.11 per cent of Canada's total exports; in 1SS0, 37.0 per cent; in 1800, 41.0 per cent; in 1000, 35.7 per cent; in 1010, 37.35 per cent, and in 1912, 3S.23 per cent. Of Canada's imports in 1808 the United States furnished 33.77 per cent; in 1SS0, 40.33 per cent; in 1890, 45.99 per cent; in 1900, 59.17 per cent; in 1910, 58.81 per cent, and in 1912, 05.09 per cent. Much has been said about hick of enterprise in Canada on the part of British manufacturers, but that lack is to some extent imaginary rather than real. The British manufacturer has other markets as well ns Canada. He has keen competition in the Dominion from the United States, which has geographical advantages, liesides knowing thoroughly the trading methods of the American continent. It is not for this country to make excuses for the comparatively small share of its import trade obtained by Great Britain. Commerce is purely a matter of business. All things being equal, however, Canada might well give the best consideration to the country which is financing, with many millions of dollars every year, the development of the Dominion.—The Monetary Times use be restricted to two days in each week between the hours of i) a.m. nnd 4 p.m." it' these regulations nre observed there will be an improvement in the fishing immediately nud in the course ot: ii few years the river should recover its old time reputation ns one of the finest angling rivers in British Columbia. These new restrictions will probably be unpopular with the Indians, but il is to lie Imped thnt they will understand that these regulations will work to their own ultimate advantage as well as to the advantage of lhe white man.

Till-: staff correspondent of the Monetary Times hns the following In sny of the Comox District on the Island: "It is only after one has hud the opportunity of personally inspecting n district that the resources of it nre understood. British Columbians nre prone lo boast of the great resources of their province, but when lliese nre seen nt first bnnd it is little wonder enthusiasm becomes grenler. After n personal visit to lhe Comox district, one realizes Hint this section of lhe province, though uf present remote compajrnlivejy, possesses nil Ihose resources for which British Columbia is noted, namely, milling, lumbering, farming, hauling nnd fishing. Comox is seventy- five miles north of Nanaimo, and is reached now by steamer or by wagon road.

The mountains nre buck from lhe sea n considerable distance, nnd the bench land and tho valleys nre very fertile. "Some of the finest agricultural scenes in lhe province nre to he seen in the close vicinity of Courtenay nud Comox. Eight sawmills operate iu flie district, and immense logging operations are carried on there by the Cnnndinn Western Lumber Com- pnny. They employ 700 men, operate fifty miles of standard gauge railway and hnve n lnrge output every month. Cumberland, also in this district, is the cenlre of the extensive conl mining operations of the Cnnndinn Collieries, The miners there went nut 011 strike Inst September, nnd though the dispute is slill nn it hns censed In have effect on the company.

The Uniteju States Steel Corporation is establishing a large branch in Ontario, and Ihe Sir W. G. Armstrong Whitworth Co., Ltd., of England, will take a similar step, although their establishment will lie in Quebec province. The compnny hnve acquired a site on the south shore of Hie Sl.

They will manufacture twist drills, punches, milling cutters, cranes, drop fnrgings, tool steel, etc. The decision of this lnrge English corporation to erect, u branch plant in Canada is n gronl event in Canada's industrial history.

In m: ' OST people think of the Canadian Northern as a grout railway corporation, which lias constructed a transcoiitin- -entnl line shortly to he completed from tlie Atlantic to the Pacific. This will be actually accomplished when the suggested railway from Quebec to Pugwash on Northumberland Straits is built, and that will be in the near future. But the activities of tlie Canadian Northern are not confined to railway building. This company can fairly claim to be tho pioneer railway company which has on n large scale developed industries for the purpose of opening up tho country and furnishing freight for its own lines. Of course this has been done to some extent by the C. P. R., but not by any means to the same extent or on the same settled lines as by the C. N. R. It will soon be fifteen years since Mackenzie & Mann acquired large coal properties in Inverness County, Nova Scotia, and built a railway from Point Tupper on Cnnso Straits up the west side of Cape Breton Island to convey their coal to tlie market. About the same time they were building a line from Halifax to Yarmouth and Rupert, B.C. term °' twen'y-°ne rears at an annual Plans, s'pecincatlon and form of con- rental of «1 an acre.

R. at least thirty-three per cent is contributed directly by the mining industries and in the case of the Canadian Northern most of this is contributed by operations which they themselves have started or have acquired. It will probably be a matter of surprise to most readers of The Week to learn that the mining industries of the United States contribute sixty per cent of the total of the freight carried. Reverting again to the operations of this company in Nova Scotia, the Inverness colliery already referred to produces 300,000 tons of high grade steam coal per year.

' VZX *3 ap 19 jy u Victoria, B.C., June 28, 1913 THE WEEK Page Eleven Sports of All Sorts GOLF of the very highest standard has been played by Miss Violet l'ooley in the amateur golf championship which has just taken place nl St. Ann's-on-Seii, in England. The English papers describe her match with Miss Ravenscroft, Inst year's chani- I pion, as probably the best golf that | has ever been played by ladies. The Standard in its issue of June the 7th under the pen of Mr. Henry Leach, | says: "Some people who have attended Ihesc Indies' championships almost | every year since the event was established in 1893, declare without reserv- | ation thai, the match between Miss Rnveiiscroft and Miss Pooley on Wednesday afternoon produced the finest I golf flint has ever been played between two ladies, and I certainly think if would hnve been difficult for any ladies to have improved upon it. Those people who know the ladies golf well say that tlie nearest tiling to litis game in point of quality was some golf that was played in the championship al Portrnsh two years ago, when Miss Dorothy Campbell, who is now Mrs. Hurd, and settled in the United States, won for tlie second time. Probably the ligure.; of lhe round in this match at St. Anne's will be held in memory as such details of no other match are, and they deserve lo be. The course of the Lythia and Sl. Anne's Club is llll'il) yards long, there are two holes on it that are over 300 yards each, anil lliere are four others that are over -100 yards each. It is also u course thai is very well bunkered, and here and lliere the possibilities of going out of bounds are considerable. Yet there is the fact that in the 17 holes that were played each lady had only two sixes, and nothing worse than that, and the sixes came in each case nt the 300 yard holes, being the 7th and 11th, which were duly halved by lhe competitors. On tlie other hand, Miss Ravenscroft had two threes and n two, while Miss Pooley had three threes and a two, and the hitter wound up the mulch with a long string of live fours, which followed one of the threes. The result of all this was Hint for the 17 holes that were plnyed, Miss Ravenscroft needed only 74 strokes, while Miss Pooley, who won the match, hud 71. The last hole on lhe course measures only 277 yards, nnd is not a particularly dangerous kind, nnd the Indies could hardly have missed gelling their fours at it. Had it been played nnd they had done that, they would have had rounds of 75 for the winner and 78 for the loser, and on most occasions scores like Ihis would have cunie not very far from winning scratch prizes in men's competitions on this course. The amateur record is 70. It is field jointly by Mr. John Ball, Mr. Crniuiuaek, and Mr. Lns- sen." Over 1000 people watched this match, as Miss Ravenscroft was considered lhe likely winner of lhe championship. Another newspaper report of lhe Daily Express slates; "The match of the day was undoubtedly the meeting between Miss Ravenscroft, Hie holder, and Miss V. Pooley, in the fourth round. Both played superb golf from the point of view of steadiness; their gnme would not have disgraced a couple of first- class professionals. Miss Ravenscroft was lhe favorite, nud she met a worthy opponent in Miss Pooley. Until this nfternoon Miss Pooley. who is an ox-champion of British Columbia, had not been severely tested. Against Miss Ravenserofl she plnyed with splendid confidence, anil her deadly pulling towards lhe end gave her a well merited victory by 2 to 1. The end came at the seventeenth hole. Both were on lhe green in 3. Without a moment's hesitation Miss Pooley pill ted and ran down from a distance of more than three yards. "Miss Ravenscroft had a slightly shorter one. hut ns soon ns she struck flic ball she knew Ihal she was not in Ihe correct line. Before lhe ball had stopped she gripped her victorious opponent warmly by thc hand, and so one of the most popular figures in the championship made her exit." Mr. Heinrieh Schmidt, who played for America in lho championship at St. Andrews, and was a close follower of this match, is reported as saying, "I've never seen anybody play such iron shots in my life us these two girls did. I wish I could piny iron shots like that." Miss Pooley previously won this year the stroke competition in the English championship at Holywell. She played in the amateur golf championship at Portrush in Ireland in 1911, and was beaten iu the early stages by the ultimate winner. Owing to the death of her father, Ihe late Hon. C. E. Pooley, in March, 1912, she did nol play in the championship for that year. In the present tournament under review Miss Pooley was drawn in the most difficult round. In her quarter, in order to win into the semi-finals she had lo dispose of. such players as Miss Cecil Leiteh, ex-champion, Miss Ravenscroft, tlie champion, and Miss Miss Pooley is sailing from England on the Kith of August, and will stay over in Eastern Canada and play in the Canadian championship in the second week in September to be played at the Dixi Club, Montreal. Miss Pooley has been asked to form and captain an all-British team to play an international championship on the 13th of October next. Miss Dodd and Miss Ravenscroft will also he on the team as well as another player to be elected. In all the realms of sport in which Victoria takes so prominent a part, perhaps none has brought greater credit to her home town than this play of Miss Pooley's. Although beaten iu the semi-finals it is safe to say that she has no superior amongst the lady players in the world today and indeed very few men equals. Hud she been drawn in the lower half of the round without such strong players lo work MISS VIOLET POOLEY Mursdeu, Lancashire champion, nnd Miss Teacher, Scottish champion. Miss Teacher bent Miss Leiteh, Miss Mursdeu beat Miss Teacher, Miss Pooley beat Miss Ravenscroft, and afterwards heat Miss Mursdeu, ami was finally beaten hy Miss Dodds in the semi-finals, lhe ultimate winner of Hie championship. Miss Pooley's great match against Miss Ravenserofl wns played on the afternoon of June 4th. Having won this, she hud to play Miss Mursdeu the next morning, n match almost equally as difficult. After winning the match with Miss Mursdeu, Miss l'ooley collapsed under lhe strain, and was indeed hardly able lo finish the game. Iu the afternoon she had to play her match in lhe semi-finals against Miss Dodds, and reports on the match state Unit from the commencement, owing lo Miss Pooley's tired condition it was a foregone con- elusion Ihal she would lose the mil tch. It is interesting In note that in the final match of .'Ifi holes between Miss Dodds and Miss Chubb in the firs! 18 Miss Dodds look 38 out nnd Miss Chubb 43. Home Miss Dodds 45 ami Miss Chubb 44. The second time nut Miss Dodds look 41 and Miss Chubb 45. Whereas in lhe match between Miss Pooley and Miss Ravenscroft, the former look 38 only going out, and 33 for eight holes or 37 coming home, and lhe latter 38 and 40. her way through she would not have been so tired mil in lhe final singes. Till'', Victoria tennis players who weul from this city lo represent Canada in the Davis Cup matches have, by healing South Africa, gone into the semi-finals wilh Belgium, the Belgians having drawn a bye in the opening matches, and tennis players are delighted. The trio from Victoria, R. B. Powell, B. C. Schwengers and Capt. J. P. Foulkes, arc enthusiastic in their optimism regarding the forthcoming match with the Belgian players and hope In win it place in the finals from them. The Victorians aro making an excellent showing, both Schwengers mid Powell winning in matches with English cracks in the English Lawn Tennis championships at Wimbledon. .Schwengers beat C. S. Grace three sets to two, the scores being G-2, tl-2, 2-0, 4-0 and 8-0, and Powell bent P. Hicks iu three straight sots, 7-5, 7-5 nud 0-4. There are 110 contestants in these championships, including six entries from Australia and six from the United States, Mc- Linighliii, the leading member of the United States team in the Davis cup matches, was drawn against the British champion, 11. Roper-Barrett and beat him three sets lo two witli a score of 4-0, 8-0, 1-0, 0-2 and 8-0. H- Owing lo the inclement weather hist Saturday the handicap tournament of the Victoria Lawn Tennis Club was postponed until Monday and Tuesday when some very closely contested matches were watched by many who gathered at tlie courts at Cadboro Bay. Much interest was taken in the club tournament, and some excellent tennis was seen. J J. BRADFORD, Ihe proprietor of • the Mona Cafe, is a skilled repairer and stringer of tennis racquets. For many years Mr. Bradford worked with the well-known sporting goods linn of Bates & Sons, Nottingham, England, from whom he bears ti recommendation as a first-class man in this line of business. Now that Victoria has so many tenuis enthusiasts, Mr. Bradford is anxious to cull their attention to the fact that he is in o position to rcstring racquets, which will receive his careful attention if they are left for him at the Mona Cufe, Broad Street. Ki COWICHAN Bay is holding its annual regatta today. This aquatic event, now one of the leading regattas of the season, attracts each year a large number of spectators from Victoria, excursions being run by train and steamer to Cowichan Bay for the day. Special effort was made this season to make the regatta a gala occasion, and in addition to the usual events a long distonce motor race was arranged from Cadboro Bay to Cowichan Bay. y(i The junior four for the N. P. A. A. O. regatta to be held at Indian River near Vancouver, on July 14th, has been selected hy the J.B.A.A. as follows ; Day, stroke; Chalk, three; Bess- ton, two; and McPherson, bow. Twelve B.C. oarsmen leave today for the Coeur d 'Alone regatta to be held at the Idaho town on July 3rd, 4th and 5th. IT is many years since senior lacrosse bus been seen in Victoria, and, more especially because it is probable that Victoria will be represented in the inter-city professional league next senson, much interest is being displayed in consequence in the match to be played this afternoon at the Oak Bay grounds between the Minto Cup champions from New Westminster and the Vancouver team. Sir Richard MeBride, the premier, will face off the ball. The match is to be handled by Victoria officials, Lester Patrick and Leo Sweeney, and two local men are included in the hired men of Mr, Con Jones who wear the Vancouver colors; Joe Gorman, the sporting editor of the Times, who, when not writing sport, is a fine home player; and Boss John- sou, the young all-round athlete who was signed a few dnys ago to make his professional debut as the goal lenders of the Vancouver team. The match this afternoon is being played as much as anything else in Victoria as a test of the drawing power of first- class lacrosse in this city, and the establishment of a team in Victoria next season hinges largely upon the attendance ut tlie game, and the two others scheduled to be played here later in the season. Some of the greatest exponents of the Canadian national game, some of whom have been here on lhe Arena ice as hockey players, are included in the two teams which will struggle at Oak Bay Ihis afternoon. J OK Bnyley, Hie local lightweight, is to meet Frenchy Vnise of Seattle in a fifteen round bout at the Brighotise Arena. Buyley has been for the past few days undergoing his , training at the North Vancouver Athletic club in readiness for the contest. Ernie Barrieatt and Will Dnrnlcy will meet iu a preliminary and it bout between Burrieati and Charlie Lucca of Saskatoon is also on the card. Although reports from Seattle favor Vnise, Hie local man is the favorite, and there is plenty of money being offered on him at odds, BOSS Johnson's defection from the amateur ranks will mean quite a loss lo Rugby football in Vicloria, as Johnson is acknowledged to he one of lhe best full backs lhat has played for Victoria. He played on lhe British Columbia team in California against the California and Stanford Universities, and lias had at numerous limes lo represent Vicloria in lhe inter-city matches in this Province. He has always exhibited nerve, quickness of wit and good judgment, qualities which have made him equally giioil as a full back in Rugby, and a goal lender iu lacrosse. His loss will be keenly felt by Hie Vicloria ama- teur team, which, despile the fact Ihal il is now hopelessly out of the running for Ihe Mann Cup, is slill in lhe field. II is announced Unit Alan Clark, of Hie Oak Bay team, will replace him in goal. THE Australian cricketers who played here nl lhe end of May did some heavy scoring in Iheir match againsl whnl is regarded as lhe leading learn nf Hie l'nileil Stales, the Gentlemen of Philadelphia. The visitors from the Antipodes won from the players of the Quaker City by an innings and 178 runs. Before they were retired the Australians tallied 521 runs. The home players made 343 for both innings, taking 124 in the first and 219 in the second. The Australian players have an unbroken record of victories, and as the Philadel- phiaus who were defeated by such a wide margin were considered the strongest aggregation of cricketers, they were likely to meet on the present tour, it is not likely that the tourists will lose any of their games on this continent. The Australians will play a number of matches in the United States, and will then voyage to Bermuda, returning to Canada after a short stay there. They will come again to Vietorin on their homeward journey, nnd arrangements are now under way whereby a match will be played in which the young cricketers of this community will figure. It is planned to assemble a team of 22 of the younger cricketers to play agaiost the touring eleven. An All-Canadian team will meet the Australians at Winnipeg in September, and on Aug. 21st, 22nd, 23rd an eleven representing Canada and the U. S. will be encountered at Toronto. Despite the wet condition of tlio pitch, the Cowichan and Albion teams played their scheduled match last Saturday at the Beacon Hill grounds. Cowichan won by ten runs. The Albions totalled 154, the feature of the innings being the batting of Miens, who scored 42 not out. E. P. Ward batted in 39 before he was caught by Curgenven off the bowling of Mc- Adniii. For tbe Cowichan team Curgenven led the batting, being bowled Milne for 38. The Victoria A team and Oak Bay match was called off owing to the soggy condition of the ground. At Cowichan the home B team was defeated by the Albion B team by two wickets. The Albions scored 149 for eight wickets against 142, all out, for Cowichan. BY making u rescue on the Thames the Argonauts of Toronto came into the limelight this week. When Hie eight from Toronto were at practice at Henley on Tuesday evening, they encountered nn overturned dinghy, and Taylor and Gregory, two of the oarsmen dived from their shell and rescued one of the occupants of the dinghy who was in danger of drowning. The people of Toronto nre very optimistic regarding the chances of the Argonauts nt Henley this season. Mr. Fred Smith, a Toronto man who has been making n visit to Victoria, said that the majority of the eight in the Canadian crew have been working together for yenrs, and are dashing strong oarsmen who row together harmoniously. They are most anxious to redeem their reputations following upon the deefnt of 1912, and will do all in their power to win. Mr. Smith expects that Hie many efforts of flic Argonauts will this year be crowned with success. CHESS players were regaled on Wednesday by a visit from Frank Marshall, the champion of the United States and challenger for lhe world's chess championship. Marshall is one of the world's best known exponents of chess and Ihcre was keen interest in the displays he made in Vietorin. Marshall played al Seattle on Monday and Tuesday, and wns accompanied from that city by a delegation from the Seattle Commercial Club. The visitors were entertained at the Cainosuu Club, where Marshall played on Wednesday afternoon and evening. The world's chess championship is held by Emmanuel Lnsker, who has been flic undisputed champion since 1894. By his defeat at Havan of lhe Cuban player, Jose Capablaiica, the visitor has the right lo challenge for the title, hut owing to the poor heallli of Mr. Lnsker il is doubtful whether a match can he arranged at present. .1. T. Meyes, now the only veteran who won from Marshal, ami Messrs. Gibson, Benson, Merchant, and Parsons got a draw.

That this has been urged from many quarters, but as the Attorney-General does not motor on thai road he cannot realize the urgency of the appeal. :,{ That cost should not count where human life is nt stake. That if it docs count, the lines would soon pay for Ihe cycle. That to the personal knowledge of "Hornet," many people arc afraid to take the Malahal Drive, because of the reckless speeding indulged in. yti That it is a shame that joy-riders can secure the monopoly of lhe road by simply making it unsafe for other people. That this is no exaggeration of lhe present condition of affairs. That serious accidents arc becoming too numerous in the motor world, and it is only by good luck Hint they arc confined to land. i '" That motor boats rushing through the Gorge are n constant source of danger to lighter craft. That it is a pity that nothing can be done to regulate traffic on the water. That boating nud canoeing nre iu greater favour than ever, and hnve entirely outgrown existing arrangements. That the action of the British suffragettes in refusing to nccept a sent in a car offered by a man, is the first logical thing they have been guilty nf. ' * That it shows exactly where they stand. That the movement is hardly likely to spread to Victoria, which has just been deserted by its only militant suffragette. Thnt its reflex action may influence Victoria ladies (!) fo say "thank yflti" when they acecpl n seat relinquished by a man. That the cow bus become a sacred animal in Victoria, and no wonder, when the people lire paying 23 cents a quart for Alberta milk. That if this is not lhe limit in high living, "Hornet" would like to have a better example. That il Ought lo pay lo graze eows on subdivision lofs with milk nt Ihis price. That one may now expect many of the unemployed real estate agenls fo enter the milk business. That Ihey would al least he assured of a perinaneiil income. That local strawberry growers are giving Iheir fruit away because Ihey cannot market it.

That il must have been wel iu Vancouver on Tuesday if, as lhe papers say, the rainfall established n new record. That il is nol true thai lhe North Vancouver ferry boat anchored on Hastings SI reel. That lho different prices nl which standard articles are sold nt tlifteronl stores in Victoria arc due to the fuel that some people do not pay .their employees a "living wage." That while this is true, it does not justify an imposition of 50 per cent on the standard price. That if all hands "pipe," the reception to the "New Zealand" ought lo be a good one. That a joint committee representing the Government, the City, the Navy League and the Daughters of the Empire ought to be able lo give a record reception. That this is due not only to the gallant officers and crew, but to the gallant little colony that has set such a splendid example. That, it is a fine opportunity for Victoria fo show Ihal il has no use for a cheap naval policy. That the proportion of British born and Italians working on the foundations of the Normal School is ns three to seventeen. That this about represents Hie possibilities of the British workman getting employment at any job in Victoria. rH That the rivalry between the lacrosse players of the mainland must bo keen when they refuse to cross in the same boat. That this is one of the inevitable results of reducing sport to a commercial basis. That professionalism has done ils best to kill sport, nnd has half succeeded. That the Victoria performance against the Australian cricketers still constitutes it record for Iheir tour. That even the renowned Philadel- phinns could not get them out for less llian threo times their score here. That you may explain this,to suit yourself, but you cannot explain away the fact. That the Vicloria tennis cracks are literally coverin™ themselves with glory. That Schwengers will yet demonstrate thnt he is in the very front rank. That "Hornet" has always maintained this, and is not a bit surprised nt the splendid showing which "Bernie" is making. ■'i That another Victorian, Miss Violet Pooley, is admitted by experts to be cither the best, or equal to the besl, ludv golfer in the world. That she bent last year's English champion, and would probably have secured the championship herself if she had not overtaxed her strength. x That the doily press does not feature these performances ns they should; they advertise Victoria better than all (he publicity agencies that were ever I hough I of. yi Thai "Hornet" is willing lo admit lhat America has produced one real comedian, and his name is Hitchcock. Thai he would be an exacting theatre-goer who would ask anything heller in the wny of entertainment Hum Hitchcock's performance in "The Bed Widow." That his impromptu (/) speech was belter than anything in lhe play. Thnt lhe Colonist is right; there are loo many children driving motor ears in Vicloria. That although Ihis is a well known fact, not one case has yel been taken into court. Thai the result is that lhe children are gelling bolder and the parents more indifferent. Hi That Hie Curfew by-law does nol apply lo children under sixteen who are driving a motor loaded up wilh oilier children. y: Thai everyone was sorry lo hear of lhe illness of Deputy Chief Palmer, and more llian pleased lo know of his convalescence, Thai Vicloria is happy in lhe possession of a Chief and Deputy Chief second lo none in Hie Dominion.
