The Week A British Columbia Newspaper and Review. Vol. XI, No.7^-Eleventh Year Victoria, B.C., Canada, Sept. 6, 1913 5c. a copy, $2.00 a year Naval Defence "No policy will be satisfactory to the people of British Columbia which does not include a substantial and prompt contribution and the ESTABLISHMENT OF A FLEET UNIT ON THE PACIFIC COAST." Practical Patriotism A SECTION of the Canadian press hns during the last your or /A two twitted pertain people with being "cheap patriots" nnd ■*■ •*• wilh being much given to "flag-waving" as n substitute'for ii more practical evidence of patriotism. British Columbia lias witnessed during tho lust week a unique, nnd probably unprecedented, illustration of the most practical form of patriotism, which is none the less impressive because it is due to-the generosity of a man who has been n most persistent flag-waver, nnd hns used the great influence be possesses in the daily press of the Province, to spread Imperialistic sentiment and to uphold the dignity of the Sister Services. Mr. J. S. H. Matsou has advanced the considerable sum of $o,000 in order thnt the militia men who rendered such valiant service nt Nanaimo nnil .Lndysmith should not return home without at least a moiety of their pay. That such an action should hnve been necessary, owing to the tardiness of the Government in making prompt provision for the men, is regrettable, but this does not detract from lhc credit due to Mr. Matson. He knew bow serious a crisis bad arisen when the militia men were called out. lie witnessed tbo feats of intrepidity nnd valour which they performed. He recognized that Iheir allowance was a mere pittance at the best and that it would be at least timely to ensure some prompt recognition, however slight, for the services so ungrudgingly nnd cheerfully rendered. Under all the circumstances of the case, Mr. Matson's action stands out as nn expression of practical patriotism which is all too rare. It is nlso an evidence of thoiightfnlness and kindly consideration which will impress the public with whnt is not generally known, but is fully recognized by the few who enjoy Mr. Matson's friendship, which is that genuine kinclhcartediiess is one of his most marked characteristics. Sir Gliver Lodge PARAGRAPHS have appeared.in some of the English papers to the effect that Sir Oliver Lodge in his Presidential nddress to the British Association intended to deal with the subject of "The Spirit After Death," and might be expected to treat somewhat sensationally of a phase of psychical science which has been much discussed of late. Presumably relying on these reports, The Colonist confirmed the rumour. The Week is in receipt of n eoniiiiuiiicntion which dispels any such idea. It emanates from a source which is absolutely reliable and in a week from date, when the nddress will be public property, it will bo found that it contains nothing sensational, land no paragraph dealing with the very speculative subjeel suggested in the daily press. This is reassuring, for while much is allowed the scientist who has made a hobby of some special subject, as Sir Oliver Lodge has of psychical research, it would be a shock to the scientific world if a subject which is so largely speculative were considered to be of sufficient importance to figure in the Presidential address. There nre some people who think thnt Sir Oliver lins weakened his influence ns n pure scientist by bis "ex pnrtc" utterances on certain phases of spiritualism. Without endorsing this attitude, The Week- welcomes the news that his nddress will follow the more conservative lines adopted by his illustrious predecessors, who have not been nccus- tomed to give undue prominence to subjects which could not he considered as hnving advanced beyond the speculative or theoretical singe. The Miners' Strike MP. PARKER WILLIAMS, M.P.P., hns accepted the challenge of The Week and in a lengthy letter, printed in the current issue, states his attitude in respect of the outrages alleged to hnve been committed by striking miners ns follows: "What is my attitude towards the rioting, assault, attempted murder nnd destruction of property.. Without admitting the correctness of this indictment as made against the strikers, I do not hesitate to say that I and Mr. Editor will hnve no disagreement ns to the quality of these nets whenever practised." This is as liberal a confession as Mr. Williams could be expected to make, and will certainly go a long way to convince the public that he is not ns far lost to reason as might be supposed from some of his public utterances. So long as he is prepared to denounce outrage nnd violence wherever committed, it only remains lo prove whether the persons involved in the present enses are as guilty as is alleged. If so, Mr. Williams must rnnge himself on the side of the upholders of the lnw and must denounce their acts. As the cases are "sub judice" it would not be fair to assume the guilt of the accused, and this point may therefore stand over until the court has completed its work. But The Week nov,1 takes occasion to remind Mr. Williams that among the many causes which may be cited as having contributed to this outbreak of violence on the part of the strikers must certainly be included his own attitude and Inn- gunge with respect to the lnw and to those charged with its administration. In an attack upon Mr. William Simpson, the Stipendiary Magistrate of Nanaimo, Mr. Williams recently snid, writing to The Free Press: "I wish to sny that if this vicious mockery of a court continues its rape on the liberty of every mine worker thnt can lie dragged within its clutches, Mr. Simpson mny find thnt power and safety do not always go together." If this means anything, it means that Mr. Williams would directly incite the miners to violence if they were dissatisfied with the Stipendiary's administration of the law. Mr. Willinms forgets that in any event "force is no remedy," and he ignores the splendid provision of British justice whereby the instant and effective remedy against nial-aclniinistration of the law is to be found in the courts of justice themselves, which will afford just as much protection to a striking miner, even if he has committed violence, ns to the man who has never come within the clutches of the law. To weaken this principle is not to help but to injure the men who look to Mr. Williams for guidance. Such conduct has already landed more thnn hnlf a hundred in the dock, and if they acted on Mr. Williams' advice as contained in his letter to The .Free Press it could result in landing many more there. What Bowser Has Done TILE MAJORITY of the people of British Columbia, irrespective- of party, heartily endorse llie action of the Attorney- General in connection with the Vancouver Island conl strike. Tbe reason for this is that tlie majority of the people of British Columbia, irrespective of party, are law-abiding and recognize that' the foundation of their liberties rests on the enforcement of British law. The situation was one of extreme difficulty and delicacy. On Tuesday and Wednesday of the fatal week it was a case in Nanaimo, Lndysmith and Extension of n powder magazine and a torch near nt hand, The result bung in the balance. A little more pressure, a few more reckless words from.the professional agitators, who fomented Ihe strike, and Nanaimo would hnve been in flames. The same fate could hardly have been averted from Lndysmith nnd Extension. It is n matter of the highest gratification that nt this crisis British Colombia! hnd nt the helm n man of intellect, of sagacity and of courage; for it needed all these qualities to adopt the course which Mr. Bowser adopted without n moment's hesitation. Tn this keen insight, prompt decision nnd courageous action he showed himself to be not the mock "general" which his political opponents are so fond of dubbing him, but a real general grasping the heavy responsibilities of an administrative position mid realizing the only effective and constitutional menus of averting a catastrophe. It was he who mapped out the plan of campaign and moved his forces by night with a swiftness and quietness which startled the forces of disorder and cowed them into subjection, when, on the following morning, all unexpectedly, they found regulars nnd militia men marching through tbe streets of Na- iiainio nnd Lndysmith. The necessity must be regretted, but it wns created by law-breakers, nnd not by the Government. Under other circumstances different methods might have been adopted, ruder tbe circumstances with which the Attorney-General wns confronted, there wns nothing to do but to net promptly and effectively. The wisdom of tbe course which be adopted was amply demonstrated by the instant suppression of disorder and by the perfect protection since afforded to life and property. There mny bo a few extremists who will criticize the employment of the militia. The Attorney-General hnd no choice, nud when the smoke of buttle hns cleared away The Week believes that the first to recognize the wisdom of his policy will be the misguided miners who are suffering, and will have to sillier, for the policy of their lenders. Alien Labour DURING the present week n number of communications hnve reached this oifice on the subject of alien labour, nnd ninny specific instnnccs have been cited in which preference hns been given to Americans as ngninst British subjects. It is regrettable also to have to report that a few Englishmen with wives and families In support have actually gone to the States, taken out naturalization papers ns American citizens and returned to Victoria nnd been able to secure work under American contractors and foremen on that account; work which was refused to men who were still British subjects. The AVeek is prepared to substantiate this, if necessary. Furthermore, conclusive evidence is available that American workmen in Victoria not only send all the money home which they can. but make their purchases of clothing and tools in Seattle, These men arc not to be blamed, and The Week hns no intention of blaming Ihem. But whnt nbout the system nuclei' which such things are possible? If the boot were on the other leg, we all know that Uncle Sam would tnke good care lhat no aliens obtained a similar advantage on his side of tbe Line. There is another matter deserving of consideration, and that is that in ninny cases influence is successfully used to secure employment for men not really in need of it, because they either hnve an independent income or n regular occupation which leaves them free to devote part of their time to work which should be given to lhe men who have none. The Week knows of n prosperous merchant, owning land nnd running n paying business, who leaves his fnmily to look nfter the business and who is nt Ibis moment doing day work for the citv. while there nre thousands of British subjects in Victoria without n day's work, or a dollar in their pocket. This is not right. Stadacona Park SINCE the last issue of The Week the expected report of the Social Sen-ice Commission referring to Stadacona Park has been received by the Council. The report is of a very noncommittal character, so far as the main point of the discussion is concerned. The only question before the public is, shall the Council renew the lease to "The Versatiles" 2 The Social Service Commission has side-stepped this question and contented itself with pointing out some of the disadvantages which attend the possession of public park. They admit, as the original coinplainers admitted, thnt the entertainment given by "The Versatiles" is unexceptional. It is therefore perfectly obvious that the point considered by the Social Service Commission is entirely different from that in which the public is interested. There is no difference of opinion as to the high character of "The Versatiles" entertainment, or to the favour which it has secured from the many thousands of people who have enjoyed it. If the entertainment could be assailed the case of the petitioners would be won. If it cannot be shown that "The Versatiles" contribute in any way to the other abuses of the park referred to by the Social Service Commission, then there is no "raison d'etre" for confusing the two issues, and The Week maintains that there is no justification for depriving the public of innocent recreation, of which there is far too little in Victoria. With reference to the subject of immorality, surely the Socinl Service Commission does not contend thnt this would be lessened by withdrawing "The Versatiles" and the hundreds of people who attend their entertainment from Stadacona Park and leaving it free of access throughout the whole of the evening. The average person would imagine that the presence of five or six hundred people was a safeguard, and the issue is narrowed down to bettor lighting and more police supervision at such times ns "Thc Versatiles" are not giving their entertainment. This is a matter for the police department. It is a duty with which they are charged at all limes, and one which is not in any wny affected by the question of leasing the park for entertainments. There is, however, one point involved whieh is entitled to consideration. It is as to whether the presence of "The Versatiles" in the park, with their morning rehearsals and afternoon and evening performances, constitutes a nuisance to nearby residents, and is calculated to depreciate the value of their property. This is n mntter which should be investigated unci dealt with on its merits, hi view of the fnct that Pandora Avenue is to ba continued through this property for business purposes, it is difficult lo see bow the property can be permanently depreciated. Still, such a complaint cannot be altogether disregarded, and while The Week believes that "The Versatiles" arc entitled to every consideration and that their lease should be renewed, it favours proper enquiry into the bitter complaint, not with n view to excluding the entertainment but to minimizing nny inconvenience which mny be proved to exist. Only One Opinion THERE is only one opinion ns to the duty of the Dominion Government to recognize in n substantial manner thc very valuable services rendered to Victoria by Mr. Thomas Sorby over a long course of years in connection with Harbour work. As Secretary of the Inner, Harbour Association Mr. Sorby has shown nu amazing degree of energy and persistency coupled with exceptional engineering ability, lie hns been lhe father of pretty nearly nll lhe schemes which hnve been put forward for the improvement of the Inner Harbour nnd the protection of the Outer Harbour. His ideas, if not bis plans, hnve been accepted, and the importnnl works now being carried out arc, in iheir main features, in accordance wilh his suggestions, lu addition, Mr. Sorby hns from time to lime prepared plans, made estimates nnd coirfputed quantities, thus furnishing dnln which hnve been simply invaluable lo lhe Department. The lime bni come when, in view of the prosecution of ihe importnnl works now under wny, nnd their commitmenl lo lhe charge of n Rosidenl Engineer, some substantial recognition should be mndo of so long nud faithful a period of service by Mr. Sorby. The proper source from which ibis should come is the Dominion Government which hns received nnd benefitted largely from bis advice, and which is in n position lo purchase lbe many valuable plans and records which lie slill has. This is a matter in which lliere are no polities. It bus been unconditionally supported by lhe daily press of both parties. It will receive lhe officinl support of the City Council nnd the Board of Trnde nnd The Week urges on Mr. Barnard, our Member, lhe importance of inking tho mutter up with the Government nt once. It enn hardly be doubted thnt with such general nnd influential bucking In- will succeed* The Country dub TDK Victoria Country Club has arranged for three weeks' racing, commencing on September 20th. The first week is co-terminous wilh lhe Agricultural Show and it is proposed lo continue the racing Iwo weeks afterwards. This is tbe first race meet in Victoria ibis year, mid while there nre n few peoplo who will object because they are opposed to racing altogether, the vast majority will be glad lo have n lillle excitement. The question of gambling has already been aired nnd il is useless to argue nny further on the subject, because il mny ns well lie conceded, first as last, thnt there can be no racing without gambling. Tbe Week always favoured the pari inuliiel machines, not only because they give fair play, but because they eliminate the book-maker nnd mnke plunging next to impossible, This is just about as far as wc are likely to gel in the (Continued on linck pape.)

WILLIAM BLAKEMOBE President and Editor I. MoLEOS OOULS Seoretary L. ». MCDONALD Advertising Agent The Cost of Living THE WKEK Page Three o BY BOHEMIAN EVERY WOMAN is interested in the cost of living; likewise, every man. Perhaps the greatest trouble is that Ihey are not always jointly interested, for that seems to be the only satisfactory solution of the problem "How to live and be happy." One cannot get away from this solution either in everyday life, or in those dramatic allegories which are supposed to hold Ihe mirror up to Nature and show things ns they are. After passing through all lhc vicissitudes of a chequered career, "Every- wonian" had to turn at the lust to hearth anil home und to the first love, [and her life really began when it was (joined to that of another. This is a bigger qcustion than it looks. Far bigger than the question [of dollars and cents, high rent, dear meat nnd luxurious clothing. It touches every phase of human life, we pny the price not only in coin, but jin heart-beats, and in these days lhe (cosl is as high in lhe one, as in the lother. During the present week some of us lave found lime to read the recnark- jtible document prepared by Mr. Moses iCotsworth as a minority report on the dispute between the B. C. E. R. and jtheir employees. It is a marvellous eilocument, betokening an intellectual [capacity, a facility in collecting unci [applying statistics, aud containing an incisive criticism and expose of the weaknesses of lhe oilier side ami a series of suggestions which, while admirable in themselves and altogether credilable to the optimism of Ihe author, will probably be realized al or about the time of the inillenium. Mr. Cotsworth, although a very clever man, is a dreamer and cm idealist. All that he does is admirable in itself, but not necessarily adapted In the end in view. He falls down in the practical application of his voluminous and npliinislic ideas. There is a luck of co-ordination and of adjustment which discounts the real value of his recommendations. All the .same, no one can read the report without learning a great deal more than the average man knows about the high cost of living, its grenl in- rense during the lnsl few years and the difference that exists in Canadian and American cites. It is not my intention lo follow him [through some sixty clauses, but one or two points may be seized on ns possessing special interest for Victorians. The first is that Victoria is today Inbout the dearest place iu Canada to live in. The next is thnt there is a wide discrepancy in the price of standard articles in cities as near together as Victoria and Vancouver, all to the disadvantage of Victoria. The third is that in Seattle living is considerably cheaper than here and that rents have fallen about forty per cent. Mr. Cotsworth's remedy for this is an alteration iu the land laws, which will make fanning attractive to settlers and ensure the production of food to a much greater extent at our own doors. Until this is done he sees no chance of relief. It may be permissible to point out that this conclusion is discounted by some of the statistics which Mr. Cotsworth himself quotes, as, for instance, when he shows that because of dull times rents have fallen heavily in Seattle. It is also negatived by the fnct that in many places, where there is n large local production, ruinous prices prevail as long as trade is good, but a prolonged depression brings lower prices for nearly everything. I have no objection, and, indeed, should be very glad to see, certain changes in our land laws. I should like to see farming made mure attractive to settlers. I should like lo see greater facilities offered to the "bona fide" farmer, including cheaper money nnd belter transportation. But when nil this has been done we shall slill be confronted with the same problem, which is world-wide iu its insistence, and that is that in every civilized country men are relinquishing farming in favour of life and occupation in the cities, anil it looks as if something more than Ihe mere material aims which Mr. Cotsworth suggests are required. I have no remedy lo offer. I am merely impressed by the fact that we are paying n big price for lhe luxury and ease which are characteristic features of twentieth century life, nud Hint price is being extorted from our workers in blood sweat as well as brow swent. The white man's burden consists not so much in governing subordinate nations or shouldering responsibilities which are imposed by the solidarity of Ihe race. His real burden in Ihis age of excitement, of unrest, of feverish hurry and of wide-spread luxury is to solve Ihe problem of living without burning the candle nt both ends, and without killing himself in order Ihal he mny live. What Are We Going to Do About It? Written Specially for Th e Week by a Retired Officer. [N n striking article, Mr. Tokutomi, idilor of the "Kokumim," a liroininent Japanese paper, says re- lently: "The whileinnu's clique musl i overthrown in the interest of Japan lind in the interest of humanity." The above represents the general lone of the Jnpnnese press over the tnlifornia exclusion bill. Now the question is what are we I'hite people going to do about it? J'he Americans and Canadians are limilarly situated and must think ■like, no matter what understanding Ixists betwen Great Britain and the Eastern Power, so lately and protnin- |ntly come to the front. It is quite evident that the deler- llination of all classes north and louth of the Line is to keep a white ntry, but the question is, how. The yellowman is going to call the lluff of the white, sooner or later, and |iost likely long before we are prc- ,red to answer in the only wny we n. No snne thinking person can believe lint lhe proudest, most industrious, progressive and warlike nation on rtli is going to quietly submit to our leclnration that we are determined to jestrict, if not to! ally exclude, their |ntrance, and deprive them of those Irivilcges which we freely give to olher races, who unlike Ihe .laps have no lighting icower lo back up their demands, nnd who after a short resilience with us nre the cause, and ring- lenders of most of our labor troubles nnd the authors of many of the crimes we hnve all over America. What makes our position dangerous and unreasonable is the evident fuel (disguise il ns one mny) Ihnl lhe Jnps in particular must be restrained, not for Ihe reasons that mnke other nationalities objectionable, but on account of their virtues, iu being law- abiding citizens nnd so well behaved and thrifty that they gradually monopolize ninny trades and callings, which improvident white people nre unsuccessful nt. I notice that a California paper upholds this theory, and though supporting the proposed exclusion, gives ns a reason why Ihey nre undesirable, "That they are the only servants who will carry out their contracts." And thus the scum of other nationalities cnu come to us by thousands and give trouble from one end of Canada to the other, but when lhe hard-working, well-behaved, lillle yel- lotY man comes nlong and gels busy, we sny "No. keep off." As the nbove are the only rensons win- we have tnken the slnnd wc hnve, and as it is evident thnt we are wrong as far as justice goes, but ns self- preservation forces us to go on with the course we hnve laid out, is it not apparent that with no argument in our favour we have got to have force and plenty of it? Just as sure ns the sun shines, tho Jap is going to assert his claims, and if we reflect whnt these people hnve done in the pnst thirty years, we should nlso consider on what Ihey will accomplish in the next thirty. I see in speaking of this problem The Colonist sets the example which we are all so prone to follow, nnd sagely remarks: "That no doubt when the matter becomes nclive, British diplomacy will doubtless settle it." Yes,"I like this! British diplomacy has settled matters for Canada before but not nhvnys to our satisfaction, and as we get bigger every dny, British diplomacy's job gets bigger. This cheerful dependence on British diplomacy reminds us of Kipling's lines:— "Given to strong delusions wholly believing n lie, Ye snw the hind lay fenceless nnd let the months go by, Waiting some ensy wonder, hoping some saving sign, Idle, cpenly idle, iu (iu1 lee of the forespent line." Our British Columbia politicians never fail to work this exclusion policy strongly into nil their speeches, but I hnve never yet heard any of these wise men explain how they nre going to curry it out. Do they suppose thnt the yellow- people are going to refrain from obtaining the same rights accorded to others, especially when they are aware of our utter helplessness? Would such n course appeal to the Jap who has been lighting for generations, and by lighting hns nt last obtained the goal of his ambitions—lhe position of n first-class power—is it likely after having got so far he is going to forgo the fruits of his exertions? Not much! I suppose that the above ideas are the cause of the Conservatives' proposed contribution of thirty-five million dollars, and Ihe olher humbug— the Liberals providing lhe Uninbow. As far as the Conservnl ives go, how a presentation of cash to Japan's ally is going to protect us from invasion is more thnn anyone can quite understand. On the olher bnnd 1 fail lo see the wisdom of constructing a few- ships to be gobbled up by our possible enemy at any time. A German writer puts this forcibly nnd states it is worse thnn useless to hnve anything but n strong nnvy. Ships are unlike an array, Au army can run nwny and light another day, but not so witli n fleet. It is clinsecl into some port unci down goes your money and protection to the bottom of the sect. The same writer explains the impossibility of Germany possessing n weak nnvy which England could pounce upon, and crush at any moment. But still we go on—both sides of politics shouting "Nnvy," on their .own lines. All the societies chip in with the snme cry. Every sprig of nobility who visits the Province is eagerly sought out nnd interviewed ou the subject unci ill the papers we are regaled by the notions of some nincompoop who hns no idens beyond lhc German peril, but he is mnde to sny thnt he is delighted with Ihe policy of Sir Wilfrid or Mr. Borden —bul always Navy! Prom nil Ihis humbugging going on ns to Ihe mode of supplying aid to thc Empire, il is epiite evident that the majority of unlive Canadians are really indifferent beyond the blind support they give to lhe political side Ihey are on. If nny real clanger wns iu sighl In Ihis country a decision one way or lhc olher would sonic be given. This Eastern question provides Ihe real danger, anil more especially lo the Coast, which musl necessarily be the lirsl sufferer and bear Ihe brunt when I rouble arises. The advocates, genuine or otherwise, who hnve been harping on the sen protection, were nil centered on lhc German peril, nnd this recent menace had not presented Itself ns openly ns it has in (he Enst for months. But now that n real danger confronts us, I wish to point out that the obvious safeguard against a disaster is the hind forces, now wholly neglected nnd hardly mentioned in the discussions which lill our papers of nll shades, II seems astonishing, bul such is the fact. Bul lhe time has come for us all to seriously reflect on Ihe absurdity of trusting to a few wnr ships to defend such a Coasl as we have, where a landing can be effected al so ninny points, which once accomplished puis us promptly nl Ihe mercy of our foes to dictate any lorins they sec fil —nnd, ns Kipling puts it: "When ye nre ringed ns wilh iron, when ye are scourged ns with whips, When Ihe menl is yel in your belly, nnd Ihe bonsl is yel on your lips, When ye go forth nt morning, and the noon beholds you broke, E'er ye lie down at even, your remnant under the yoke." I think, therefore, nfter nll this tomfoolery it is time to venture suggesting other propositions to meet the emergency. In the opinion of many people who really look on the matter seriously nnd view it from a Canadian point, on the principle that charity always commences nt home, there is one wny only and that is to make our lnnd forces so efficient Ihnl, should these aliens ever laud on our shore, Ihey would never get off it again. The nature of the country iu this Province is particularly suited for such n course, nnd if we while people were as we should be, trained for self- defence, even these warlike yellow- people would pause when the result would not lie as easy as it is at present. But it is hopeless, I suppose, to suggest such n procedure, it being so much easier to contribute these millions ns proposed, and think no more about it. Tlie opposition to any military preparations appears to be too universal to effect such a thing. First we hnve our wnrkiugmeu who control most of the voles. These people nre the most violent nnd outspoken in demanding total exclusion, nnd one could pardon their extravagant speech and actions did they not in the snme breath condemn in nll their societies nnd unions every kind of military service, going so far in many cases as prohibiting their members from joining the militia as volunteers. One would imagine that if they were so determined to keep it n white man's land, they would see the necessity of being strong enough to carry out their determination. These people can rest assured that resolutions nt their meetings won't stop the tide of invaders when they get started— then it's rifles, not resolutions. Then, again, in ninny parts nf Cnn- ndn we hnve the employers of these very workmen milking similar regulations, forbidding nny of their employees serving ill the forces of the Dominion, nnd throwing every obstacle in tlce wny of young men joining the ranks even for n few dnys training. Then we hnve thousands of well-to- do indifferent people, who nre so busy looking after their own enjoyments and comforts that Kipling described them "As the flannelled fools, at the wickets and the muddied oafs at the goals.'' But worst of nil are those "imi- versnl peace" people, who have been very busy lately writing letters to our daily papers. I should like to see whnl their action would be when a few Jnpnnese transports appeared ofl Esquimalt Harbour. I suppose they would sit ou Beacon Hill with theii eyes turned heavenward muttering "Give us pence in our time, 0 Lord.' Here again we can quote Kipling's "Islanders":— "Arid, aloof, incurious, unthinking, unthauking gelt, Will ye loose your schools to llount them till the brow bent columns melt? Will ye pray them or preach them, or print them, or ballot I hem back from your shore? Will your workmen issue a mandate lo bid them slrikc no more?" Prominent of course among Ihese universal pence workers are Ihe Protestant clergy. 1 don't mind this so lunch, bul in very many cased throughout Canada Ihey are openly opposed lo nny military preparation especially nmong lhc youngsters, when Ihey really should be palling tilt backs of all lhe cadets and boy sc-ouls in their districts, selling good examples of manliness, nnd preaching thai Ihe object of it nil is Defence nol Defiance, n virtue next to godliness. It seems so absurd Ihis non-fighting idea. Why, everything lights. The Bible itself is full of il. Evidently God made us thnt wny.

" Every woman" is n morality play, and, being such, demands n setting nnd a cast nf lhe highest order, Where every character Upon the slage depicts some specific hiunnn attribute, it is no easy mailer In assemble a company in which'each individual vice or virtue respectively assigned. The company which visited Victoria this week under the direction of Henry YV. Savage, was not only well cast but well balanced. Particularly fortunate was the choice of Mr. H. Cooper Cliffe to play lhe purl of lhe chorus, on Ihe lines of Ihe Greek drama, in the Odyssoan role of "Nobody." A disciple of Sir Henry Irving. Mr, Cooper Cliffe is nn elocutionist of rare ability. With a commanding presence and a resonant voice he dominated the singe, even when in the background, and was without n dotibl lhe most conspicuous, ns he was the ablest, member bf the company. Miss Allele Blood wns nt her best in the third net. The hour of her fictitious triumph was also the hour of her flnesl work, unci though he,' Characterization of "Everywonuin" in the lirsl scene, when templed by "Flattery"' In forsake the innocence of her home for lhe besmirching wiles of the world, was charming, it is us the star in her zenith that she will be best remembered. As "Modesty" Miss Ruby Roth- notir was the most convincing of her early companions. She was admirably suited to the pnrt and sustained it well. "Youth" was also well played by Miss Marion Dentlcr. Of the remainder of the company special mention must be made of Miss Kathleen Kerrigan ns "Truth," and Mr. Nestor Leiinoii as "Wealth," the hitter playing one of the most typical roles in the east. Mr. Theodore Wilde, though he had nu word lo sny and only crossed the stage twice, received well deserved applause for his excellent pantomime work us "Time." The staging anil costuming of the play wns lirst-class.

For my own part, if I could afford it, and had no responsibilities to light and contrive for until the last breath leaves my body, I would leave for Bruges or Wiesbaden tomorrow and cheerfully lead a life of innocuous desuetude. As a niere wage earner and to return to practical things, I consider British Columbia, especially Vancouver Island, the best of Britain's possessions to dwell in, but I maintain without any reserve at all, that it is, today, the most expensive place under the sun. II is impossible to put away money as a salaried man, unless one holds a capital appointment. As a place of residence, Bamfield, from climatic conditons, is probably tho most salubrious place in British Columbia; personal appearances matter little, but fuel and living expenses are just as bad as they are in Victoria. In the hitter case, more so, since there are weekly freight charges and perpetual hnd quality—the shopkeepers having you at their mercy. Frankly speaking and taking British Columbia as a aggregation of separate communities, there is far too much sounding of brass and tinkling of cymbals. A curious admixture this Province, in its incipient stages of development, yet Tory lo the backbone and no chance for Ihe Third Party man to air his views or his grievances, as 1111 independent paper exists in the entire Dominion of Canada. I have digressed. I should like to go further afield, but stop right here to say that things are looking up. For instance, that admirable leader which appeared in The Colonist, June 27, on the pre-emption question, or abuse; also "The Port Alberni Meeting," June 14; the admirable articles appearing in The Vicloria Times on "The High Cost of Living," by Mr. Ford; also a wise leader iu Tlie Alberni Advocate, captioned "Creating Payrolls," June (ith.

The Week is in entire accord with the stand taken by the Vancouver Board of Trade in seeking to prevent such continuous race meetings as have been held in Minora Park this summer, but Victoria settled that problem several years ngo.

BRITISH COLUMBIA riflemen have been doing some splendid shooting at Ottawa.
