The Week A British Columbia Newspaper and Review. Vol. XII, No. 1-Twelfth Year Victoria, B.C., Canada, Feb. 28, 1914 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." 0 Spiked Guns FOU flic first times in the history of the British Empire England's guns are spiked. A British suhject hns heen killed. maybe murdered, by n revolutionary desperado in Mexico and if '.lie claims of the United States under the Monroe Doctrine are imceilcil, England is powerless to act. Such a position is almost inconceivable. The Mistress of the Seas may not pursue her traditional policy, may not land her marines, may not train hoi guns and may not demand that instant satisfaction which has been her wont, nnd which has inspired such.confidence in the reality of British pro- lion, and all because of a figment known as the Monroe Do'lrme. Instead, she must chafe and bide her time; she must ask the United Slates in do what it is her own right to do, and not that of another, mid if if is not dune, what then ? Quien sabe \ Canadian Northern Guarantees S Monday last Premier McBride brought down a Bill which proposes to increase the Government guarantee on the construction of thc Canadian Northern lines in British Colum- )ia from $35,000 to $45,000 per mile. The measure is not a popular mo for reasons which will he explained. It met with opposition in wo quarters, from fhe liberal press, as was natural, because they lad to oppose it, from a few Conservatives, because they had not inns- ered and did not understand all the bearings of the case. As it tnnds today there is general acquiescence in the wisdom of the Government policy, not unmixed with an equally general regret that t should have been necessary. The regret is occasioned by the fact hat when tlie Canadian Northern policy was hrst introduced and lassed on to the Statute Books of the Province, it was understood hat a binding contract had been made and that the work therein lontemplated would be carried out within a specified time and at tbe iriginal cost. After three years it is found that this anticipation s not to bo realized. The lines have cost more to construct than he original estimates and there has been some delay in prosecuting he work. The latter is greatly minimized by the announcement of he Premier that the Mainland lino will be completed this year and the lines on Vancouver Island by July of next year or only one year later than originally con tempi a ted in the case of Albcrni, anil one voar earlier in the case of the Saanich lines. While neither of these things could have been foreseen, they were not improbable. There is neither infallibility nor finality in In i ii in ii plans. Somo people claim thai Messrs. Mackenzie and Mann arc not greal railway builders, hut they can hardly deny thai title to tlie builders of the Canadian Pacific Railway which met with thousand unexpected difficulties, was on the verge of bankruptcy several times and was only at last carried to completion after a scries f supplementary grants which left the original estimates far behind, it would he equally instructive for purposes of argument to compare the enormous expenditures made upon the Grand Trunk Pacific with ho statements of Sir Wilfrid Laurier when putting the necessary egislation through the House at Ottawa. The fact of the matter is that no railway has yet been built across this continent which has not belied the calculations of its promoters and if the Canadian Northern had been the exception to this rule, then Messrs. Mackenzie & Mann would have been more than human. The immediate cause of increased rost is in underestimating the engineering difficulties nnd in not 'idly recognizing the exactions of a standard which had not previously icen set in a Canadian railway. The delay has been due partly to his nnd partly to a yonr of financial stress and money stringency ivhieh hns affected every enterprise. The Week holds no brief for he Canadian Northern, nor is it their npologist. There are mutters n respect to which it could criticise that Company, but thnt is not 5ermnne to the present Bill. There were only two courses before the "Jovcrnment, either to nccede to tho request of tho company nnd nerense the guarantee, or to throw them on their own resources ami them to finance the balance of the undertaking single-handed, I'he only question the Government has to ask is which course is in he best interests of the Province. Whatever else may lie said there •an he no question that the latter would involve delay. It is idle to mggest that in the present state of the money market the company would be able to finance the completion of the project as quickly without Government backing ns with it. Decs the Province want thnt delay? Does not every day count? Is there not an urgent demand fur transportation facilities in every district touched hy the Canadian Northern or its branches? These nre the questions which the Government hnd to consider. The very papers which are now criticizing the Hill would be the first to denounce the Government if it sanctioned ii policy which involved unnecessary delay. The only other question which the Government has to ask is whether the security for the increased guarantee is adequate. No one conversant with the cost and '.nine of railways west of the Bookies, will consider $45,000 a mile ns even approaching thc actual cost of construction, but this is n point upon which it should be easy to satisfy all critics. The books of the C. N. R. are open to the inspection of the Government. It would be easy to ascertain what the actual cost has heen up to date, nud whether all fhe money raised on the security of the guaranteed bonds has been expended in the Province. Of this The Week has no doubt, but it is a matter so easy of ascertainment that it need not form the subject of debate. There can. hardly be any question flint i1 guarantee of $45,000 n mile is well below the actual cost of construction and leaves a safe margin for the guarantor. Under these circumstances even the hostile critic would hnve to admit thnt while increased guarantees are never agreeable to the guarantor, whilst we should all like lo see original agreements carried out in their integrity and while extensions of time for the performance of contracts are always vexatious, it still remains that a responsible Government charged with the duty of promoting the best interests of the Province is bound to stand by an enterprise which it has fathered, at any rate until its guarantee approaches the danger zone, and if has not yet heen demonstrated, nor does The Week believe it enn he, thnt such is the ense with the Canadian Northern. It should never he forgotten that after all tho real security behind the guarantee of the Government is the Province with its rich potentialities and unrivalled natural resources. The means of developing these is by affording transportation facilities, and the railway company that furnishes these cannot fail to create an invaluable security. Agricultural Commission TH K Report of the Agricultural Commission has heen brought down and its character fully justifies the high expectations which had heen formed by nil who hnve followed the work of the Commission under the able Chairmanship of Mr. W. II. Ilny- wiird, M.P.P. It is comprehensive, incisive and courageous. None of the problems confronting the industry are shirked; flic most insistent are dealt with boldly and clearly anil eminently practical solutions nre offered. As the Report is not fo be dealt with in the present session of the Legislature there will be plenty of time for the general public, and more particularly for those interested in agriculture to study it thoroughly and this is what should be done during the present yenr. The Governmonl hns announced its intention of dealing with it legislatively at tlie next session of Parliament, and while there is no pledge that effect will be given to nil the recommendations made, there is liltle doubt Ihat the main features of the Report will he embodied in legislative form. The outstanding feature of the Report is the recommendation to establish a Hoard of Credit for the purpose of making loans to farmers, on easy terms, along the lines of the system which is operating so satisfactorily in New Zealand. It is not necessary at present to discuss the details of this scheme. It is a system which The Week has been recommending for four years nud which it believes will furnish n satisfactory solution of fhe financial difficulties which have handicapped land clearing and culture. In view of the great importance of the subject and the interesting character of the Report it is lhe intention of The Week to publish a special supplement at an early date dealing wilh it in detail. fls Others See Us A(JOOI) deal hns been snid and written nbout the attitude of ihe Canadian Senate on the naval defence question. Mosl of this of course, lias appeared in Canadian papers and of llinl which has appeared in English papers wc have chosen In reproduce very litlle for reasons which need not be loo closely enquired into, ll may, however, be refreshing to rend the opinion of one of ihe lending weeklies with a circulation of more than a million. The interest of the quotation is largely due to the fact that the paper in question wns opposed to the Borden policy and is if not a ''Litlle Englander," nt nny rote nn enemy to naval expenditures. It says: A year or so ago, in response lo an urgent appeal from our Government, Canada promised In contribute three battleships towards Imperial defence. And wild pnonns went up glorifying this net of noble generosity. But we shouted n little too soon. Por the Canadian Senate rejected tlie proposal, Wn wo have got In pay for those three battleships ourselves, And that is the chief reason, dear render, why you nnd 1 arc nbout to have fresh taxation chipped on us. Snme people seem a trifle annoyed with our Canadian cousins for Idling us into u hole like this. But such annoyance is quite unreasonable. Canada knows that under any circumstances tlie British Army nnd Navy are nl her disposal in lime nf trouble. She is nnt compelled In pay. Sn she is only gratifying the natural instinct In get something for nothing. Bold and Successful THERE is something in the notion of General Botha in deport- the labour agitators from South Africa suggestive of the spirit of audacity in which the Jameson Raid was conceived nnd executed. Tt was always said that if the Raid had been successful it would have crowned its lenders with glory; as it failed il landed them in prison. The AVeok is not suggesting for a moment that the ncfion of General Botha wns ns illegal as Ihnt of the Jameson Raiders, hut ils legality approaches the zone of doubt and it is characterized by the same purposeful determination. General Botha's move has succeeded and the result is that he stands higher than ever in the estimation of the world as a man of courage, of prompt decision nnd of determined action. On the strict legality of his action there is room tor an argument. If would be impossible for a single moment lo defend the forcible deportation of labour leaders who hnd pursued only peaceable methods and who were not conniving at violence. But General Botha seems to have satisfied himself that these agitators nol only contemplated such breaches of the law as would have been criminal, but had already incited their followers fo illegal action. At any rate, he boldly grasped the nettle and instead of giving them lime to work out their programme, whatever it might have been, .seized them, carried them on hoard and shipped them home. This bold action left the consequences to be dealt with later and it is obvious that General Botha eared not a jot what those consequences might he. He had done what seemed to him right at the time, what he believed would be effective and the result showed that his judgment was sound. With the disappearance of the agitators and the prompt calling out of the military forces matters quieted down and in a few days the strike was over. With the action of the military forces The Week is not concerned; that is another phase of the question. With the fate of the deported men it is much unconcerned, because they made a great fuss and contributed largely to tlie revenues of tha wireless telegraph system. Their confreres in England raved and literally frothed at the mouth; they predicted dire consequences; Mr. Wardle, one of the Labour Members said that "the deportation had raised problems which would have to be settled or the British Empire would be shattered to fragments." Nothing has yet happened to justify this apprehension. When the deportees reached Gravesend they behaved like spoilt children. They were all suffering from that indigenous African disease, "beri-heri," in its most acute form; they insisted on posing as martyrs; they refused to act on the advice of their best friends and after making themselves ridiculous for twelve hours, they were literally laughed out of existence and have since been lost sight of. On this important subject the electorate at certainly tnke views that are irreconcilable. The Dominion will certainly take views that are irreeonciable. The Dominion will applaud the drastic action of their Government and the British working-classes will condemn it. The position is that we have deliberately given over to South Africa the fullest powers of self-government. She exercises them iu accordance with her own conceptions of lhe [lowers of the executive and the liberties of the individual, and that: conception differs widely from the conceptions of tlie democracy at home. All the Dominions claim and exercise a like right. Among the iiianv problems confronting a united Empire there is-probably not one more difficult of solution than that of harmonising the policies of the Dominions and of the Home Land on questions such as this. 11 is scarcely less important, and by thc happenings in South Africa has been given n prominence which makes it scarcely less insistent, than that presented by fhe Hindus and both call for the greatest possible exercise of moderation and self-restraint. Get Ready for 1915 EVERYONE seems to agree that 1015 will be tbe great year for the Pacific Const. Mnny events are conspiring towards ibis consummation, chief among them the opening of llie Panama Canal and the holding of the commemorative exposition nl Snn Francisco. The former will link iwo oceans and divert the mercantile marine of many nations. The latter will draw millions of visitors to the Pacific Coast, and Victoria, even with her present transportation facilities, will gel n large share. Those facilities, however, will be sensibly increased by the addition of Iwo new C. P. R. liners now being luiill under the direction of Capt. Troup lo run between Victoria and San Francisco. Surely all ihis should be a signal for Victoria lo gel ready. There are mnny things to be done before we can truly say flint wo have set our house in order and are ready for our visitors. There are many untidy spots lo be swept and garnished, vacant lots to be cleared of rubbish, eye-sores to be removed, including the greatest of all. ibe burnt area which is so ably doull with in u letter in lhe current issue of The Week from lhe pen of Colonel Wuilinore. But beyond lhc cleuning-up process, which also includes the completion of our paving contracts, there is lhe mallei' of tree-planting, We have in the park nursery more than 200.000 trees r ly for pcnnanenl planting. This fine collection was got together by Mr. Hall when be was iu charge of thc nursery and reflects great credit to his skill nnd ability. The trees nre growing so rapidly thai they are crowding each oilier and will soon be retarding their growth. They ought fo be transplanted at once, even as a matter of economy, to sny nothing of beautiflcation. There are many vacant spaces in which to put them, round Beacon Hill Park, in Mount Douglas Park, on Pandora Avenue gore and along lhc Dallas Rond. This latter road is one of the show drives of the city and it speaks eloquently of our civic short-sightedness. The retaining wall was finished more than two years ago, yet the boulevard in front of it was left in a stale of chaos and is still like a wilderness, all for lack of energy lo grade it down and sow some grass seed. None of the works suggested ure of an onerous or expensive character. These are hut little things which cost the least hul which will be most effective in improving the city and if in Ibis year of curtailed expenditures on costly works our vacant lots, waste places and parks were attended to, and in addition n liltle civic pride shown in our renl beauty spots, lhe city could literally lie made to "blosson as a rose," and by 1015 would present an entirely different appearance.

They expect too much considering the latitude. Will you kindly tell me of any oilier town on the same parallel where the lirst butterfly of the senson comes knocking at your window in February? Last Tuesday my editor appeared in the office with u specimen he hnd procured Hint morning and I hnve been so overcome by the momentous event that I hnve ever since been conscious of Hint poetic feeling which is gradually becoming familiar. I feel n spasm. Hold hard, here's some more verse:— What is this Hint comes a-flutter At my early morning shutter? See the yellow on its wing, "fis a harbinger ot spring. Tho' thc year's not two months old; Butterflies nre growing bold. When they venture forth so soon From the soft and warm cocoon. Only in Victoria's clime Could I pen this silly rhyme. Nowhere else do lint I critics Come so soon to please our eyes. Thank yon! J feel better now. Mosf people have nt some time or other in their lives nursed a grievance against their god-fathers nnd their god-mothers for the mimes that were bestowed upon them in their baptism. It hns always seemed lo me a most outrageous tiling Hint lhc individual Who has to go through life saddled witli what we call a Christian name should be allowed no choice in the matter and should not 'infrequently be the victim of some parental prejudice in favour of bizarre and outlandish appellations. I once knew a boy at school whose surname was Mogg; he was christened "Heavens"! Another, Hie son of Mr. and Mrs. Heavens, was called "Celestial." Such treatment is more than unkind; it is positively brutal; but us the world wags today there seems to be no chance of changing n Christian name and Hie unfortunate nominee has to bear his burden to the graveside and even then his astral body has to contemplate the offending letters carved on n tomb-stone. Some parents have a fancy for christening a child by one name and culling him another for everyday use. This is n form of insanity most in evidence amongst flic parents of lnrge families, though why this should he so I do not know. It often entails great inconvenience amongst the friends and acquaintances of the individual who naturally fhink thai "Sammy," to quote nn instance I wot of, is short for Snmuel and havo no menus of kn.iv ing thai lhe boy's real name is Clifford. Sonic excuse, however, may lie found for parents iu the matter of naming their offspring. I understand Hint n birth in u family brings in ils wake n sort of mental upset which leaves all connected witli the new arrival in intellectual disarray, so that sane nnd sober thought is out of tlie question. Kut llie excuses which mny pass muster in the case of parents ought to carry no weight when applied lo Street Committees, nud if is hard to condone offences against spelling or against public sentiment which so often occur in Hie naming of streets and which have been the subject of much excellent correspondence in the daily press of late. Living ns we do on the borders of the United Stntcs and subject therefore ns we nre to frequent criticism on the ground Hint "Canada is becoming Americanized," wc should be very careful not to give our new streets names which are taken from American history. Wishing, ns we should do, to perpetuate the names of our own grent men, wc should be very careful lo see that when such are bestowed on streets Ihey nre nt lenst spelled right. This is n matter which lately came up before lhc Lndy Douglas Chapter of the Daughters of tho Empire, a Chapter which is particularly interested in ■such matters, seeing that its main object is to maintain the traditions of lhc past. The ladies with commenda ble zeal took up Ihis question nud I understand that they have communicated their views to the Natural His- lory Society which is well qualified lo insisl on the street names of Victoria conforming better than they do at present to Hie ideals which should be preserved in such matters. Whilst on this subject of names 1 am templed to comment on the extraordinary Imbit some people have of signing their names so that it is well-night impossible to read them. A man who will write a fair hand, or ivho will conduct his correspondence by means of a typewriter, frequently scrawls at (lie botloin u cabalistic sign which will defy all attempts at a solution. Where lhe letter paper carries his business address at the top or when Hie recipient of the letter knows beforehand from whom the epistle comes, it is comparatively easy to decipher the signature, but it often happens that no clue is afforded and Hie unhappy addressee tins to make the best of n bad job. Personally, I hale to dis-sjiell n mall's name. Such a "belise" conveys the idea that yon don't cure enough about him to get his name right. But if you can't rend it, whnt nre you going to do nbout it 1 I nm aware Hint the art of writing lias gone out together with the art of conversation. Mechanical contrivances have done away with all need for penmanship and many u man of affairs never lakes a pen in hand except for the purpose of signing his niime. All the more reason, one would think, Hint he should write at lenst one word, or two, legibly. But the contrary seems to be Hie case. Some jieople labour under the delusion that nu intricate and undecipherable signature is a safeguard against forgery, but 1 have it on the best authority Hint Ihe signature which is the linrd- cst to forge witli nny degree of success is the simplest, nnd Hint nil Hie curves nnd "bnck-Jiriiigs" wliiojli characterize so many signatures today nre the very features which make forgery an easy ns well ns u profitable business. Forgery naturally brings me back to Hie subject of banks and burglars. Lnst week 1 lamented Hie "picayune" spirit of the man who would steal pens from a bank when there was much else well worthy of his attention. My laments called forth the following letter which reached me on Saturday night and which may amuse you as much as it did me. I might remark iu passing that my anonymous eor- lespondent failed to disguise his hund throughout, with the result that I failed to keep the appointment. Whnt 1 might hnve done, could I hnve believed that it was really a "Bill Sykes" who wrote to me, I prefer not to say. '' Victoria. "Dear Lounger. "i come over from Seat He to crack it crib but cunt find no opportunity but rend your notes in Hie Week newspaper. You seem some lly guy alright nnd me and you together should pull olf some stunts alright. You write that you want to gel one over oil the bank and get some cash, well here's Ihe mnn you're looking for. "Meet mc corner Johnson by Queens hotel Monday !) p.m. nnd we'll show 'em how to gel cash. "Sincerely " Crook-nosed- Jerry. "Look for grey suit, peglops and yellow siloes." Now, Hint's whnt I cnll a nice, friendly letter. If only it had been from n mnn iu tlie profession I could have enjoyed myself immensely in his company, Incidentally, Hie signature wns easy to read. Very different is a second communication received from some anonymous reader with n more subtle form of humour. I wish thai I could believe that his cnuslic remarks wore penned witli sincerity, for then I could have some fun at his expense, but though I know that jokes do not penetrate as quickly in the West as in other climes, I can hardly bring myself to imagine Hint my poor witticisms niient banks could have been Inken seriously. I reprint "The Colonel's" letter:— "Victoria. "Dour Lounger. "I consider your notes concernin the robbery of stores and banks disgraceful. No wonder, in face of such suggest ions appearing in Hie Press, Hint we hear of bank robberies at New Westminster and Hazelton and holdups in Vancouver.

Your pen is mightier llinn the sword, For evil or for good, So, use it. not to tempt the Lord. Start honest toil, break stone, chop wood. "Yours truly, THE COLONEL." To one thing only do I take exception in this epistle. "The Colonel" evidently shares wilh many other folk the idea thnt life for me is one per- petunl "lounge" nnd that with the exception of producing this weekly column 1 do naught for a living. I assure the gentleman that he is mis- Inken. Should he chance to be a creditor of "Tlie Week's" lie may know nu- ns n most pertinacious and nol altogether unsuccessful dun. I have mnny other activities, but like nil men who nre naturally lazy nnd slothful I detest not gelling credit for the work I do nnd nothing annoys me more thnn for people to believe that 1 am by practice ns well as by pro- OCri *To«-£Z^t PERSONALITIES IF you met Mr. W. J. Taylor, K.C., anywhere hut in court, you would judge him to be nu English country gentleman of aristocratic descent, a generous patron of sport of every kind and a constitutional supporter of Church and Slate. His habitual nir is that of a man who belongs by birth and training to the ruling clnss; his manner is suggestive of independence and aloofness; that is because lie is a man of culture, with mnny hobbies nnd not n little concentration. When you come to know him you find him to be geniality personified; indeed, lliere is linrdly a man in Victoria wlio could more appropriately be styled "a prince of good fellows." W. J. Taylor is always mimed when Hie three lending counsel of British Columbia are in question. He undoubtedly shares this honour with E. P. Davis and 13. V. Bodwell. The theory is Ihat if he worked us hard as his illustrious brethren he would outshine them, for he has a court manner which they mny well envy. He is one of the few barristers who is perfectly at ease in court; he never shows the slight est truce of nervousness. Calm, self-possessed, smiling, he faces the toughest of problems and whether it be in addressing a jury, arguing n legal point with the bench ur cross-examining n witness, lie is bound lo shine. His cross- examination is u work of art; it is not of the stylo affected by another counsel who will easily be recnlled, Hint of frightening n witness to begin witli and literally .forcing from him ndmissions by n terrifying mnn- ner. W. J. Taylor lulls his hostile witness into n sense of false security and then conxes him to sny whnt he wants. The method is not so wenring either on counsel or on the witness, nnd is infinitely more diverting to the court. Tt also hns the ndvantage of conciliating the jury, which always resents browbeating. Tn this difficult art of cross-examination W. .1. Taylor reminds me of C. F. Gill who pursued precisely the same methods nud won a reputation second only to that of Sir Chas. Hnssell. While T claim that Mr. Taylor is ut his best conducting n "cause celebrc," there nre not a few who maintain thnl he hns attained his greatest success in consultations, his knowledge of law being admittedly both sound nnd wide. Si range lo sny, Mr. Taylor is never heard on the public platform. This is a great loss lo Ihe community, for he is without question one of the finest spenk- ers in the Province nnd could ensily be n lender. He seems, however, to prefer n career compounded of professional work and rurnlising. He is n grent lover of live-stock, nnd hns heen probably lhc largest, breeder of ihoroiigh-breds this side of the Rockies. When ho throws aside lhe cares of his profession, and he is always wise enough to do this ut the week end, you will find him on his farm at the north end of the Saanich Peninsula puffing away at a briar pipe, studying the points of his Idlest colt nnd designing Hie lay-out of another corner of his cstnte. THE WEEK has often had occasion to remark Hint Victoria is being metamorphosed through the influence of a new element which hns come into Hie community since Hie Capital City awoke from her dream of (iffy yenrs or more to a state of modern activity. In other words, up to 1907 Victoria could have been described by the laconic phrase "As you were." Then n change enmc o'er the spirit of the dream and tho little village began In wnkc up nud to tnke on fhe appearance of a town, only to develop within the lnsl two or three yenrs into a real city. If one were to ask a stranger how this came about, mnny explanations would be offered. I hnve heard nil the following suggested: The advent of the "Princess Victorin," ).'■« building of the Em press Hotel,the regime of Mr. Morley, the operations of the Canadian Mineral Rubber Company nnd the Wors- wick Company, the erection of the Pemberton block and cluster lighting. All these things mny hnve hnd some- Ihing to do with the era of progress on which Victoria hns entered, but I prefer to believe Hint its prosperity is due more to the intelligence, the energy nnd the financial assistance which have been contributed by a band of men who realized the possibilities from afar, settled in Victoria at the right moment and have been pushing ils interests ever since. One ol' Hie most conspicuous of these new-comers is A. C. Burdick, n young mnn full of energy mid enthusiasm, as straight ns u line nnd nbout ns smart as Ihey make Ihem. "A. C," ns he is familiarly culled, hns travelled from Hie East to Hie West by singes. Hc halted on the prairies, where n business mnn acquires n very good training for flnnnce. His record in the district of which the thriving city of Red Deer is lhe centre, is nn enviable and successful one. It wns there Hint he laid the foundations of n business career and a fortune. When he came to Victoria six years ago he was ripe for those large enter* prises which lay ready to his hand. His business sagacity was shown ill his selection of a partner and he became the actual, if not lhe nominal, hend of u linn which hns built up one of Ihe largest financial, insurance nml renl.cstnte businesses in Hie city. "A. C." is a popular man with hosts of friends and for sonic of them he hns made piles of money. His clientele includes mnny Old Country investors who ure content to piece their money iu his bauds and lenve ifs invest ment to his judgment. One wishes Hint he could '•spare more time for public affairs, although the frequent absences of his senior partner no doubt impose a heavy strain upon him and leave him little time for matters which are not strictly of a business character. He lias, however, purchased a beautiful residential estate in Hie Metchosin district nnd hns shown his interest in public affairs by allying himself with the Conservative parly nnd accepting the presidency of their local nssocation. "A. 0." is what is culled in Western phraseology "a live wire"; he is bound to be doing something; idleness is impossible to a man of his nature. He is si ill young enough to do something hig and wilh an excellent lieutenant in his younger brother he mny yet lind time to make his mark outside I hose tinanciul circles which have hitherto engrossed his attention.

Roynl Commissioner William Blnkc- nior'' nnd tbe British Columbia Government are to be congratulated on the report recently issued on one of the most interesting of the strange religious sects of Eastern Europe. The report is as readable ns a novel, and far more interesting than most and for sympathetic treatment of a tribe that has given our authorities some trouble it is a most singularly lucid and fair-minded document. Indeed, we believe this report will find a high place in the archives of British state papers, nnd no one should try to form nn opinion on the Doukhobours without first rending this report. We are aware that in some quarters Commissioner Blnkemore has been severely criticised for being too sympathetic, but we hnve reason to believe that these critics have been swayed by political needs, nnd that tho report is in every wny justified.

In Enst- crn Canada the bark beetle on the pine, the budworm on thc spruce and the saw-fly on the larch have done so much injury to the forests that special legislation for their control have been passed by the Federal and Provincial Governments. Indeed, as a result of the continued ravages of its worst insect enemy (the lnrge larch snw-fly) the lurch, or "tamarack" is gradually becoming commercially extinct in Cnnndn. The present plethora of insect? pests in the forests of Canada is due largely to tho recent ravages of forest (ires, which killed or weakened tho standing timber and thus provided vast feeding grounds for these insects. It is for this reason that forest fires are so much dreaded by timber- owners, for it is not often that the lire itself destroys tho merchantable value of the timber. Usunlly it is the wood-boring insects which follow in the wnkc of such (ires that make the timber unlit for lumber and have a large share in causing the millions of dollars loss which the nation suffers annually. To attempt the wholesale control of the insects themselves would be a hopeless task, but by eliminating lire- duinnge, wide-spread 'insect-daninjgo may also be automatically prevented, for healthy trees are not susceptible to attack. By segregating forest reserves, on which the percentage of lire loss during the last summer wns smaller than on any similarly protected areas in America, the Forestry Branch of the Department of the Interior is taking a leading part in the control of insect ravages.

Whitman stood for the people. He was the poet of the average mnn and indeed of the "bottom dog":— SOCCER BY BOHEMIAN mystic; nnd his contemporaries are usually more or less puzzled with him. He is different from the others, yet whether he is better or worse— genius or lunatic—the gaping contemporary is hard put to it to say. Whitman was the chief poetic mystic of the nineteenth century in America, and readers were at a loss to explain him! But the working man, though 'By God! i win accent nothing .vhich flmiing much incomprehensible stuff, all cannot have their counterpart ° ** ' ol' on the same terms." lit least saw that here was a man who was on his side, and he accepted him accordingly.

"The mere fact consciousness," snys Whitman, is enough to make him "stop and loiter all the time to sing it in ecstatic songs."

By J. Arthur Hill HI. EFFECT The breezy, wholesome, fresh feeling that Whitman gives is due to two causes. First, the unconventional form.

The new opera house, if nol actually taxed to capacity, at any rale seated hundreds more people than could have heen accommodated iu the old theatre and proved once more the immense value ivhich its erection has been to the tneatre-loving section of the public. The play itself may be summed up in two words—Victor Morley. He was the life and soul of the piece, as he always is, and though he received very creditable support, the whole action of the play centred round him. And it could not have centred in any better place, for Mr. Morley is at his very best iu the role of "Tony Chute," and whether ho dances, .sings or rhapsodizes about "gee- zmKs" and "geezonks" he is the prince of entertainers. Of the rest of the cast, if Miss Berenice McCain1 was attractive us the demure little maid, Miss Dixie Oirart possessed the better singing voice aud liner stage presence, whilst Mr. Philip J. Moore as "Prince Carlo" was heard to great advantage in the "Come lo tlie Ball" song. Mile. Andree Corday played the comedy part of "Madame Blum" with greal success and shared honours iu this line wilh the star. A X event of no little importance was Ihe presentation of "Julius Caesar" al Ihe Christchurch Cathedral Schoolroom on Monday and Tuesday last by members of the Elocution Class of llie Municipal Nigh! Schools under Ihe direction of Ihe instructor, Dr. Stuart Tidey. The performance was the outward aud visible sign of Ihe actual work which has been undertaken during Ihe winter months. The performers were nol members of an amateur dramatic association, hut were students whose object has been the study and practice of elocution. Thc stage was nol set to represent the scenes amid which Ihe nclion of tlle play look place but lo give an opportunity for the students to show the Oi'iielits Ihey had received. Viewed in this lighl alone Ihe two performances were an immense success. Thc one thing which is generally so deficient iu amateur theatricals is the art of speaking to he heard; the one thing which was most noticeable in the Cathedral Schoolroom was lhe (dear enunciation of the speakers. Apart, however, from Ihe mere educational aspect of lhc production, the work of lhe performance entities them to no mean praise as actors. The outstanding feature of Ihe performances was lhe line work of Mr. Uussoll Macaulay. whose rendering of Mark Antony's famous speech called forth enthusiastic applause Mr. Arthur Long played " Hint ns'' and played il well, while Dr. Veld gave a good interpretation of the character of Cassias; Mr. T. I'| Forrcs- ler also created an excellent impression by Ihe I'oi aud decision which marked his acting whenever he was on the stage. "Portia" was portrayed hy Mrs. Sanders anil her scene with Brutus in the garden was marked hy genuine histrionic ability. Miss 11. Miller undertook. Iho role of "Calpiirnin" and combined well lhe dignity of Caesar's wife wilh tbe nervous fears of a frightened woman. The work of the mob throughout was commendable, A word of special praise is due lo lhe producer ami his helpers for the skilful manner in which difficulties of singing so ambitious a play were overcome. By the introduction nf narratives between the Acts, which gave oilier members of lhe class opportunities to excel, notably Mrs. .1. Monkton Case. Mr. .T. C. Proctor and Mr. R. A. R. Clark. i| was possible lo cmi- slricl Ihe production within a reasonable lime limit. Wisdom was shown iu Ihe total abandonment of nny scenic attractions, though considerable care and trouble hail been taken lo ensure the correct costuming of the players, and lhc result wi.s a careful, if UliprolontioilB, production of one of lhc world's masterpieces, nnd a direct proof of lhc value of nn elocution class. IT IS some lime since we bad any infant prodigies in Victorin and il is a very long lime indeed since we had any as "prodigious" as Hazel Bcrkc and Alexander Korae who nre being featured al the Empress Thea tre Ihis week. These Iwo clever children are very well worth hearing, the one on the piano and llie other as a vocalist, lor il may well be Hull in lime lo come Ihey will figure oil a larger stage than Ilia! afforded by u vaudeville circuit. A Inl of laughter hns accompanied n comical travesty of "Macbeth," a good, old-fash.'oned piece of fun which, if not elevating to the intellect, is at any rale a tirst- class cure for lhe blues. More comedy together with acrobatic work marks thc one-act play "Fun Down on the Farm," while a clever musician who plays equally well on a variety of instruments completes a very pleasing programme. NO compuuy ever yet made a mistake in pulling on a really amusing farce comedy. Though many people like drama aud some love melodrama, the vast majority of theatregoers want to be amused, first, lnsl and ull the time. Therefore it is that the Royal Stock Company is scoring a big success this week with "Brown's in Town," a most amusing play with every conceivable sort of a mix-up which can be imagined. For the first time here at popular prices the internationally famous comedy, "Ready Money," will be presented at lhe Victoria Theatre next week by Ihe Roynl Stock Com- pany. Playgoers will remember the absorbing story of the luckless young graduate and his sudden ascension In opulence through llie fictitious power of money to make money as played here some moot lis ngo at two dollar prices. Now this bright original comedy wilh its strong human interest can lie seen by a company of the proven artistic ability of the Royal players for a quarter of the above sum. Mr. Charles E. Royal will again play the light comedy lend, thc type of pari in which he is mosl al home, and Mr. Ted Howland, whose finished art has been one of lhe mosl attractive features of the Royal Company's senson here, will be seen in lhe wonderful pari of "Ives," the counterfeiter, A BIO cycling feat was the centre of attraction at the Crystal The- utre curly ibis week. This was one of those turns which lenve Ihe audience gasping and wondering how on earth lhc management ever manages lo stage them in the first place and pay for Ihem in •the second. The question of expense, however, is aboul the last thing which the Crystal people think about. They are in Ihe business to put up the best show for Ihe money nnd there are quite a Inl of folks in town who think they manage to do il. SOME institutions seem born lo succeed; others achieve success and others again have success thrust upon Ihem. The Variety Theatre belongs In lhe second class, fur when Ibis building was first opened under oilier auspices il failed lo accomplish whal ils promoters desired. A change of management altered all Ibis. By catering to popular lasles, by charging only popular prices, by introducing vaudeville amongst Ihe pictures and hy supplying tea in thc afternoons the present management of lhe Variety Theatre have done that mosl difficult of all things, turned a failure into a success—and well Ihey deserve if. citizens under one more debt nf gratitude. TIIK [ago of Mr. William Pavers- ham, can certainly nnt lie charged with conventionalism. lie makes (hat nrrh-roulriver of wickedness as flippant a villain as ever trod the boards. He snaps his lingers at Ihe dignity of Shakespeare, is colloquial with the speeches iu which lit unfolds his proposed deviltry, and, in his glee over his ill-doing with the stupid Othello, almost winks at his audience. Ill fnct, lle plays so directly ut those across the footlights that il is rather annoying to persons who prefer an attempt at illusion to tlie exploitation of personal smartness. It may be thai in lhe days of Shakespeare with the closer relations between performer and auditor this would have been the accepted method of dealing with such a role and that Air. Faversham's apparent modernism is not so modern after all, but rather a reversion to the earliest methods. If we admit Ihat the soliloquies mean that [ago is intended iu a way to be his own chorus iu indicating the trend of his actions, this familiar manner is sot so much a blot as it seems. In other particulars Mr. Favershuin is a very delightful [ago, soldierly in bearing, good to look at, graceful and reading his lines well and with excellent tones, although with a pronounced English inflection.—.lames Metcalfe in "Life." By Robert Grau, the Weil-Known New York Impressario. (Reprinted from Lippincott' Magazine for Feb., 1914.) IT is safe to say that every renl music-lover iu Victoria was pres. enl al lhc Royal Victoria Theatre lasl Thursday night to hear Madame Clara Bull and Mr. Kennerley Rumford, as- sisted by Mr. William Murdoch, solo pianist. Mine. Clara Butt has firmly established herself in the hearts of lhc people in every town where she has sung, nnd tho enthusiastic reception nccorded lo her on Thursday was hut nn echo of those which she has encountered throughout her world lour. One feature of lhe evening wns the singing by lhe diva of Mr. Craxton's new song; "March On, Canada!" This was thc first lime Hint, the composition has been sung in public and Mine. Mull's rendering of it brought forth vociferous applause. The music is stirring and Ihe song suils her voice admirably. Thnl Thursday's concert was an Immense success goes without saying. The artistes and their work are so well known Hint it would be idle and unprofitable lo discuss lhc programme in detail. Suffice it to sny that in once more bringing Madame Clara Bill t and her talented husband to Victoria, Ihe Ladies' Musical Society havc laid the AT hist the gentlemen who cater to thc entertainment of the play-going public iu whal arc called lhe first-grade theatres are awakening lo the idea thai only by ii materiel pricu-poneessioii at the box- office can they entice into their establishments a portion of lhe millions of new amusement-seekers created by the photo-play and popular- priced vaudeville. Also, Ihe producers of plays—now lhe smallest in number in thirty years—are in. accord wilh the effort now in evidence throughout the country lo attract this new public, already increasing its expenditure for amusements as. a result of the advent of what is known as lhc feature-film, such as "Quo Vadis" and "The Lasl Days of Pompeii." So successful has been lhe outcome of a dozen popular-priced movements iu widely different parts nf Iho conn- Iry since the opening of thc present senson, that many of the inactive producers of plays, wdio have either capitulated to lhc lure of the camera-man or else have abandoned the amusement field for the lime being, are now emboldened lo tempi fate in what many believe will result in an epidemic of high-class plays at bargain prices of admission. ll is a truth Ihal no popular- priced movement having the true ring lo il has ever failed of a public response. This does not mean Hint Ihe I wu-ilnlhir-a-sral playhouse has been affected materially, but iu other days lhe play-producer wilh a moderate success on his hands had a chance. Today I here is no such thing as moderate business iu lhe playhouse zone, unless for some of lhe real success- is, which al limes arc so numerous that even some of these fail lo attract profitable business. The partial success, such as was wont lo endure for several seasons in thc past, more often than not is forced to lhc storehouse iustanlcr. so ghastly have been the box-office records. The amazing vogue of the photoplay has driven off Iho road cheap melodrama nnd kindred amusements of a popular-priced nature, and has emptied the galleries of oven the lirsl-grade theatres) has, In fact, attracted nu average of aboul ninety per cent of the population of every city from ten thousand up. Of Ibis ninety per cent not one in len hud ever been a patron of lhc regular playhouse, but gradually in various purls of the country il has been proved that Ihis tremendous public will respond to any material concession iu prices; and, once enticed into luxurious theatres to witness plays presented by players in the flesh, the real has been found so superior to Ihe simulative that success such as has not heen known in this class of play- house in ten yenrs has resulted. Tt is the dollar show in what were two-dollar houses that is now seem- iimlv a solution of all managerial problems, and scarcely a city of any size iii this country has not at lenst one of lliis class, while the conditions created by saeh a change have already resulted in concessions in admission prices in lhe majority of the theatres, though in some instances the reduction is hardly announced. A notable instance nf the trend Inwards lower admission prices is In lie seen ill the success nf lhe produe- lion >'( lhe musical comedy "The Clinch' Shop," which was prepared In dedicate the new Gaiety Theatre in San Francisco. This playhouse, costing live hundred thousand dollars, is the exclusive undertaking o( il. M. Anderson, known In fame as Ihe "Broncho Billy" of moving-picture plays. Having amassed a fortune as pari owner of a vast photo-play concern. Mr. Anderson decided lo invest his capital iu a playhouse where nn seal would cosl more than a dollar, but where through a large sealing capacity and good management the singe performances would equal if nol surpass those seen in the two- dollar houses. Having organized his company, and the production being ready weeks before the new theatre was. Mr. Anderson decided to play "The Candy Shop" in some of Hie large cities on the way to California, always insisting Ihal a dollar be the outside price for seats, 'fhe success of this company has so astonished the managers of the theatres iu these cities competing with il that in several instances not only the theatre where the company played, but also rival establishments, began lo adopt a similar policy.

FEBRUARY 28, 1914 No. 18 QUITE INCOMPREHENSIBLE PHY do so many people persist in talking as if the modem progressive woman was saturated with itnmotherly tendencies, an unsoxed creature who wanted to be as nearly like a man as possible? It needs but little thought to consider what women are doing today in Victoria in the interests of motherhood and childhood. It would be a bad day for many if the women gave up their work for the foolish cry "Women ought to be in their homes." It would be just as sensible to say: "Men ought to be in their offices," and their work is not always confined to the four walls of the office. At the last annual gathering of the Council of Women, we had many papers and reports on subjects of importance for the welfare of women and children. We touched briefly on some of them last week, but we feel that there is still a great deal of information contained in them that would surprise the public, and we regret we have not some of these papers at hand to giv in full. "The Housing Problem" was dealt with by Mrs. A. E. McPhillips, who has given the question thorough investigation and deep thought. Today, in Victoria, while wc have not the slums known in most other cities, there are many cases where several families are crowded into one house, and where unsanitary conditions prevail. Naturally, these conditions will not improve, they will get infinitely worse; but a solution of the problem is not impossible if public sympathy and co-operation is extended to those who have tackled the matter in the interests of humanity as well ns the country. , AID TO CHILDREN THERE has never been a lack of motherly women to watch the interests of helpless childhood. Everybody is aware of the splendid work done by "The Children's Aid," and the cheerful home on Pembroke Street where unfortunate litlle ones nre cared for. There is another matter, too, which women nre taking up, and that is the enre of the mentally deficient. We hnve been told that there are probably some twenty children in the public schools today who should not be there. Another case cited was that of a family of twelve, the parents and children nil defective. This is a serious matter, and yet there is nothing; to bo done as except for the lunatic asylum, which would be quite unsuitable, there is no provision for such children. Iii some of the States the children are taken to institutions where the sexes nre segregated; the boys learn trades ond the girls do laundry or other suitable work. Unless they recover, they spend their lives there, well cared for and out of the way of harm. It is well known that tbe ranks of the underworld are swelled by mentally deficient girls who have been easy prey. As can only be supposed, they drift down to all sorts of horrors, probably ending in a dreadful death from violence or disease. We do not suppose this picture is exaggerated, in fact, there are probably worse things happening to unprotected women and children than the ordinary person has any idea of. It is just as well that there arc women with the energy to look into such things instead of sitting about at home with a novel. We never heard of any objections to women working except when they interfere, or appear to interfere, with the interests of men. Then we have a pretty hue and cry. •ECONOHICS TOE women of Calgary are remarkably active in the matter of household economy nnd thc high cost of living. Like Hie women of Toronto, they have formed a Consumers' League, and they believe they can effectively reduce the cost of living in Calgary. A writer in Women's Saturday Night calls their effort "an adventure in economics," and while she goes into a detailed account, the following paragraph gives the gist of the basis of operations: "A few far-seeing men in Calgary, anticipating ber phenomenal growth, and at the same time looking to the encouragement of mixed farming, instituted a campaign for a public market. This campaign, however, passing into other hands, degenerated, it is said, into a real estate deal, which resulted in a market house—well-appearing on thc outside—but lacking much in the interior to make it up-to-date and sanitary, as are such buildings elsewhere—and, worst of all, not sufficiently central. No organised effort wns ever put forth to bring consumer nnd producer together in this building. The former, hearing that there wns now a market building in Calgary, drove from his remote ranch into town and sat all day waiting for the consumer to eome and buy. The consumer, generally a newcomer looking for a market such as she hnd been accustomed to, wandered into this deserted building the doy that not even this solitary farmer was there. The farmer in the end peddled his produce about town to get rid of it, and sold at. such prices as to discourage another experiment. The consumer returned to the retailer, accepting alike his prices and his ancient vegetables in n spirit of bitter discontent, but with little encouragement to rebel. Successful rebellion, as a rule, is the result of concerted action. "The city lost $6,000 on the market up to the time when the women took hold—about the 21st of last June. It was generally referred to as the "White Elephant." Needless to say, its languishing condition wos not a source of regret to the retailers, who looked upon it as nn invader in the field of established prerogatives and prices. "One of the first things which the new Local Council of Women did after organization was to appoint a Committee on House Economics (which developed into the Consumers' League) to look into the high cost of living. It wns suggested that an effort should be made to establish copper coinnge in Calgary as one means of helping to reduce this cost. The smallest coin in use was Scents. To those who do not understand how this works out, let it be explained that in asking one's butcher to cut two pounds of steak at 25 cents o pound, should ho cut an amount worth only 48 cents the customer paid 50 cents, as the butcher declined to handle "cumbrous and inconvenient" copper money. On the other hand, if he hod cut only 47 cents worth, the advantage would go to the purchaser, who had to pay only 45 cents. Without the slightest desire to impugn the fair-dealing of reliable merchants, it will be easily seen how completely any woman, without facilities for weighing, might be ot the mercy of the unscrupulous. Por the same conditions applied in every other line of trade. A petition signed by the allied societies of Ihe Local Council went to the Board of Trade asking for copper money. It wns returned with the explanation Hint the retailers did not consider the time wns yet ripe for such action. Some of the women objected to on acceptance of this fact, believing that the regulation of this matter lay in the consumers' hands. So four months later the women put copper coinnge in circulation nt the market—the Morning Alberton followed, bringing the price of their paper down to one cent, nnd the Hudson's Bay Company, which had been one of those retailers averse to granting the Local Council's petilion, announced n change of view, and copper coinage was established in Calgary." Has anyone ever considered why the very poor person often buying bread will buy a single loaf at a time and pay ten cents for it? Because they have not got the price of two loaves or tickets. The lack of the copper coinage hits the poor very hard, and we hope that the time is not far distant when we shall have it in general use in British Columbia. since Emily Mary Dorman married Lieutenant Ernest Shnckleton who had already gained fame as an Antarctic explorer. Three years afterwards her husband left on the search that opened the way to the South Pole nnd won for him n baronetcy and honours from many European governments. Lieutenant Shackleton has proved himself a splendid organizer. Por all that, Lady Shackleton is a very brave woman, if she can see her husband sail away from her and her little boy and girl without sore misgivings. Hc is a twentieth century knight, and bis wife must buckle on his armour with ns much cheerfulnes as she can summon. THE THREE ARTS BALL IN LONDON there was a short interval when "Flashlight Memories" of the most popular actors and actresses, dressed as they were in well known parts, delighted the eyes of the dancers. The Tavern Supper was a most sensible idea, but la! la! la! think of the feelings, of our grandmothers who toyed with a scrap of chicken and a dab of trifle! The gay young people at the ball had, at half past three iu the morning, a meal in which beer, bacon and eggs, and, most shocking of all, "sausages and mashed" figured largely and comfortingly. The latter dish is a great favourite, but somehow it sounds better on a cold day after a wolk than in a ball-room, even after violent exercise.—Toronto Saturday Night. THE CADET MOVEMENT TPHE Three Arts ball bus establish- " ed for itself such n reputation for brilliance nnd fun Unit there was a great demand for tickels when lhe ball wns held in Covent Garden. Miss Lena Ashwell and a number of other charming and energetic Indies interested in the Three Arts Club worked During the course of a recent speech to the Canadian Club in Toronto, the Minister of Militia said: "I am convinced that, other things being equal, the military-trained boy develops into a better type of citizen than tbe civil- trained boy; we have 98 per cent, of the people from the Atlantic to the Pacific solidly at our backs in supporting the cadet system." The words of the minister, a man well qualified to make such nu announcement, should be of special interest to the citizens of Calgary, where thc cadets have made for themselves a name and reputation unsurpassed in any other part of Ihe Empire. Iu spite of the fact that one or two insikiiificnut societies have disapproved of the cadet system, the great majority of the people in Canada are beginning lo realise that the movement is doing a great work in fostering a high ideal of citizenship. Instructors and teachers, who have had experience in military training, nre the first to acknowledge that thc-- cadet system in Canada has become one of the most important factors of the curriculum. In this city the cadets have performed great achievements and done a splendid work, yet they have been organized only six short years. All true citizens should give the Minister of Militia every encouragement in the splendid work hc is doing to make the future men of our country worthy of the great traditions they will be called upon to uphold.

A number of very clever acts modelled upon those which were presented in the popular London performance are to be introduced and elaborate plans are being made for the preparation of an entertainment which will be totally different from anything heretofore seen in Vancouver. The musical part nf the product inn will be under the direction of Airs. Brougham, who has also consented lo sing, a feature which in itself will be sure to'attract a large number. Further interest in the affair will be aroused by the announcement that the proceeds will go lo swell lhc funds of the Associated Charities whose officials have had an unusual number of demands made upon Ihem during the past winter from which they look for no cessation until the laic spring.

Saturday, February 28,1914 THE LADIES' REVIEW Page Three ^Wnat Smart \Vomen NVear By FRIVOLETTE fiPRING fashions in every style of **^ garment have arrived! What a variety of enticements there are in every shop window! In spite of dull times, "hubby" can yet stump up a cheque for new suits and hats. While there will not be a tremendous amount of shopping I ill nearer Easter, all smart women irnow the value of a few judicious purchases at this season. Nothing looks so dowdy us a weather- beaten felt hat on a sunnyish day in February or March. There are many charming and inexpensive hats in quiet styles and colours for Lenten wear, and most women are making early selections of the most inviting. At Finch \s Aliss Harriet Olasspid has returned from New York and the south, nnd is now in charge of their millinery depart ment. She is an expert designer and her services are invaluable in assisting one to decide on the right hat to wear after purchas- ; a gown in the costume department. Fashion has brought in such an infinity of odd tones and shades for her spring contribution, most of them harsh and more or less trying to wear, that a bit of advice concerning tlle suitability of certain colours for certain types will not be amiss. Few women can wear all colours to equal advantage, and it is the exceptional one to whom some particular colour is nnt especially congenial, so lo speak, and once she finds this, she should not hesitate to indulge in it, soys a writer. It is a good rule to dress with due regard In your eyes in the daytime, In your hair at night, and to your c.: .'sdeviou at all times, if your hair run' -wn tones and your com ply ',, i, renin tints, wear whatever ! '■'' 'louos to it, preferably the yell".,'and red browns, mahoganies, and yellows of the daffodil cast. ' If your eyes are blue, blue is bound to be your colour, and if, nt the same time, the skin is reasonably clear, the "old" blues and the lovely tapestry shades will be tine for you. Darker skins may attempt the crasser blues, nnd tho possessor of gray or gray-blue eyes will appear to best advantage in fabrics of the same indefinite hues. The pronounced blonde can wear characterful tones bettor than cither neutral or very dork ones, although she is pretty apt to be distinguished looking iu blnck. Hold one colour and then another up to you as you sand before your mirror, and then differing shades, and lake mental note of the ensemble. That is, do not remark its effect in relation lo the hair or the eyes or the skin, but rather the effect in general. Be sure that the light foils clearly and full upon you and upon thc mirror. If either is in the shadow, the effect is bound to be misleading. If your face has a tendency lo redness, avoid blues, yellows ond reds, nnd insist upon black, white or pink. Also certain of the wistarias are permissible. Among new little spring trucks nt Finch's are some dainty things in the new colourings in taffeta. An attractive example was iu kelly green mys- tera taffeta. Another pretty style is represented in a charming selection of little summer dresses in crepes, brocaded shantungs and other light materials. They are very suitable fur young Indies' wear, and are liuido chiefly in the peg-top styles. Useful frocks for the home are in lino summer serges, elegantly cut and finished nt the neck and sleeves with embroidery. These nre good value at $12.50. Of course, there is n fashionable selection of spring suits in the costume deportment, wdiere every attention is given customers selecting a new dress. A natty model iu fine blue serge has a cutaway coat with a fancy embroidered waistcoat. A pleated tulle frill finished the neck and sleeves. Novel afternoon coats are shown in brocaded ratines, which are decidedly chic for those wdio can wear them. Some interesting sports coats, too, are shown; among them a racy affair in scarlet flannel with bands of blnck mid wdiite plnid. Finch's are showing every spring novelty imaginable in their various departments, and a complete wardrobe is assured to those wdio patronize this up-to-date establishment. Cray has taken on new possibilities this spring, through being made a part in strange contrasts. A touch of orange or of purple, a bit of green-gold embroidery or saffron, emerald, or practically any other colour mny be sufficient In transform gray into what is obviously becoming. Regarding white, it is the prevailing belief that it is always becoming. Decidedly ,it is not, nnd moreover, it should be remembered that there ore almost as many different tones of white us of colours, and the same discrimination should be observed in the matter of selection. Finally, remember that the distribution of colour has much to do with its becom- favourite is plati de peehe in several exclusive shades; ripple wool, moire nevoila, and rippoline, which are specially imported to make up the French draped suits which will be so much worn this summer. There are also some beautiful fancy silk crepes, ralines, and a new material resembling whipcord for smart morning suits and dresses. The soft serges and flannels are shown, making a truly tempting selection. Madame Watts makes quite a ■specialty of the French "tailor- mades," and nothing will be more correct this spring. There is quite a flutter of expectation over the opening of Million et Cie, which will lake place next Monday. One is ushered into a charming salon with a tasteful colour scheme of blue and white, a contrasting note being struck by Ihe heavy black silk curtains and a soft blnck carpet. Aliiiuin et Cie will conduct, English and French dressmaking for those who desire an individual design for themselves, Their designer is conversant with all the London and Paris AN ADVANCED A straw toque trimmed with gre Designed by SPRING MODEL sgrnin ribbon and two jet motifs, Saget, Paris. ingness. Very few women enn afford to wear a colour close to the face, hence, the advantage of a transparent yoke. Dynes & Eddington have some tasteful confections this week which ore appealing to ninny women. The London shipments are now arriving daily and many interesting styles are to be seen. A really beautiful gown is in fol- con satin charmeuse, the skirt showing the fashionable double tunic, cut with a slight flare. The dainty bodice is in self ninon over gold embroidered net, tho vest being of shadow lace and finished with a block tulle bow. A becoming toilette in snxe ben- goline silk has a bodice of shadow lace finished with dainty frills. A very smart and up-to-date little coatee goes with Ihis dress, which is extremely new looking, and what is even more important, the beautiful culour is highly becoming to the complexion. Several little house gowns are in rose or blue satins, simply made, or in effective contrasting colours, such ns grey and cerise. The peg-top skirts nre popular, and there is invariably some form of thc drape. The separate skirts are filling n much felt want. A dressy skirt is in blnck satin cbarmeuse, charmingly draped, and invaluable for afternoon wear with a ninon blouse. There ore several separate coals, too, which the economical woman will find just the thing to keep her going till Easter. Dynes & Eddington's mnny patrons will be pleased to hear that next week their millinery department will be opened and will be replete with all the latest styles for present wenr.

So many people have been interested in the bull given lnst week by Division B of the Veterans' Associn- tion of the Roynl North West Mounted Police, thnt inquirers will be glad to know thnt tho function wns an entire success in every way. Its object was to obtain funds for the relief of deserving veterans of that magnificent force which has done so much for Canada, and ns one lndy remnrked, it would be n disgrace {' the country if a single veteran wns allowed to suffer from renl want. (See Page Two) THE WEEK Page Five Sports of All Sorts THE sensation of (he week in sport ing circles has been the trouble in the Rugby camp, which is both regrettable and deplorable. It seems a pity that so noble a guine and one which calls for lhe exercise of the finest; instincts of human nature should have to bo subjected to the same sordid, selfish disputes ns disfigure baseball nnd lacrosse. Such disputes hnve practically killed the hitler, which is undoubtedly one of the finest of Canadian games and they will kill rugby unless a better understanding can be maintained be- I tween players nnd Committees. There seems to he n general feeling J Hint the notion of the committee in the present instance was arbitrary. In my opinion thnt turns entirely upon the question raised iu The Times on Tbursdny ns to the legality of that action under the constitution. If, as is claimed, their action wns illegnl, then of course, it is indefensible, and ir: further nrgument is ne. ji ;• '.<•'/'. Bui if legnl. then Hie only r.L'j'Vii'n is whether the power of tlw'iw.npiitlee wns exercised with discrcS ft Assuming Hint the central committee hns n right lo select matches from nil lhc league tennis of the city, then it must follow thnt it h.is n right to insist, on its selections being recognized and failure to do so amounts lo insubordination on the pnrt of defaulting players or their clubs. In lhc present instance the ciubs I seem lo hnve assumed responsibility for Hie notion of the players nnd on grounds which do not nppea1.' to ine | to he altogether satisfactory, Every club must feel a responsibility for pulling the stronger team possible into the Held in the MclCcch- nic series. The honour of the city ns well as of the game is nt. stake. No mutch of secondary importance, like that between the J. B. A. A. aud lhe Vancouver Y. M. C. A. could justify the weakening of the team ivhich had to be sent to Nanaimo to iliiy for the MoKeohnie Cup. Such i change ns was mnde could not possibly be at the option of a contribut- ng dub; it could only be nt the op- ion of the central committee which I ins charge of the arrangements. The fnct thnt the two matches Idashed afforded no justification to he Bays "to take the bit in their eeth," and refuse to obey the caudate of the governing commit- Even if they considered it n (uirdship, Ihey should have complied mil brought the mutter up before he Union for future guidnnce. Again, no one seems to have commented on the gross unfairness to the Nanaimo team of sending an atten- unled team to piny Ihem. Nanaimo gave the Wanderers ns good n gnmc iu Victorin ns they could stand, and deserved to win. On their own ground they would probnbly have beaten any team Hint could have been sent. 11 wns therefore liltle short of nn insult to Ihe plucky stalwarts in lhc Conl City who hnve laboured so ard to keep Rugby alive to send a I pnrt of n team foredoomed to certain defeat. A privately arranged mnteh wdth n Vancouver tenm must surely hnve been of secondary importance to this. I think the whole trouble is one of discipline; I think the committee did the right thing in suspending the players, assuming always Hint Ihey had the power to do it. On tlle other liitnd, if the committee hns heen arbitrary, or is nnt satisfactory to tho Union ns a whole, the power is iu its own hnnds; they can be superseded. "pllE match nt the Arenn on Fri- A dny night of lnst week, when Victoria defeated the Royals by the iplendid score of 8-3, is one which vill never be forgotten by those who vitnesscd it nnd one which developed features which will well repay study, incidentally, it may be dubbed ns one vhich hung up n danger signal. The liny wns brilliant until n "blrnin ilorni" struck several members of he 'Westminster tenm. After Hint it legenernted into a fierce conflict, nt ill times unplensnnt to the spectators md suggestive of the possibility of n rngic happening. I happened fo be near Ontinnn when he struck one of the spectators. While his conduct wns absolutely indefensible, I wnnt to sny in justice to the brilliant right winger, that in ray opinion the conduct of the spectator was even more so. This mnn wns the aggressor; the papers say that he stretched out his arm to prevent Ontinnn slashing a player. That mny or may not be true; it looked to me ns if he deliberately lenned over the bnr- riende and tried to strike Ontmnn nnd in any event it is perfectly certain that 'that impression wns mnde on Ontmaii 's mind. I think nny close follower of public games will agree with me that a spectator who strikes a player is more to be censured thnn n player wdio strikes a spectator. The reason for this is obvious; the player can be disciplined nnd that severely by his manager or committee. He enn be fined, he enn be suspended either temporarily or permanently; he may, in an extreme ense, be shut out of llie lengue. Against the spectator there is no redress, except to haul him to the courts, nnd that is often im- prnoticnble, so that I want to depre cute in the strongest possible manner Ihe action of the unknown enthusiast who possibly thought he wns rendering hockey n service by striking or interfering with the players. Having said this, however, I wnnt lo add that the subsequent conduct of Onlnuin nnd McDonald wns deplorable; they both lost their heads; they literally run amuck; they slushed right and left; they did their besl; to injure, indeed to <"'ipple their opponents, and Ihey finally insulted nnd repudiated the umpire. I am amazed to lenrn after this that Ontmnn wns allowed to piny in Vnncouver on Tuesday night lnst. The very least; that should have been done wns to suspend him, nt nny rate fnr the bnlnuce of the season. Perhaps during his trip East, where the weather is still wintry, he might cool down nnd feel like making some nmends for his disgraceful conduct. I feel nil the more grieved nt hnv- ing to make these remarks because Ontmnn is without question the finest right winger in the Const Lengue nnd one who invariably plays not only brilliant but a decent game. I nm sure he must be ashamed of his conduct nnd it would hnve been an excellent thing for his reputation nud the good of the gnmc if he hnd seen his wny to offer some apology. The hockey season, ns fnr as Victoria is concerned, closed lnst night with the gnme between Victorin nnd Vnncouver. The mninlnnders wore defeated on Tuesday by the Royals in the biggest gonl-getting game of the season, no less thnn 21 counters being mnde by the two teams in this gnmc, which the New Westminster tenm won by a score of 12 to 0. The champions nre now preparing for their journey oast nflcr (he Stanley Cup. An arrangement bus been made whereby telegraphed descriptions nf the championship games will he bulletined in the Victorin Theatre during the progress of the games, and those who wish to follow the play will be able to do so within a few minutes of the happening. It seems from tbe reports from the Enst that Toronto will be the scene of the world's championship series, the Torontos having n lend of three gnmes over their nearest opponents nt this writing. That tenm went into the lend Feb. 21. by beating the Can- ndiens on the home ice by n score of 3 to 2. On the wny to the cent belt the Victorias will play an exhibition game at Winnipeg. It hnd been decided thnt when the champions left. Hint they would proceed direct to the scene of the Stanley Cup mutches, but the Winnipeggers put forward such inducements that Malinger Lester Patrick decided to break the journey at the Prairie capital and play one game there. This will nssisl in keeping tbe team in good shnpe, nnd give the players some practice in the six-man style of bockey. The fund being collected for tho presentation of souvenirs to the chnmpions is growing, the City Council having voted one hundred dollars to swell it, and when the club returns from the east it is expected that the presentations will be mnde. The quest uf the Stanley Cup begins today, for the champions will start tliis afternoon from Victoria. They will travel hy a special car over the C.P.R., and this ear will be held nt Winnipeg for 3(i hours while nn exhibition game is staged. The plny- ers will make the car their home on the eastern trip. They will likely be accompanied by n composite tenm under the management of Frank Patrick, Oatmau and Lehman being added to the Vnncouver tenm for the trip, nnd n series of exhibition games will be played at Mont renl, Ottawa, Boston, New York nnd Cleveland. IN the Island soccer lengue the Wards now lead by a narrow margin over the Sons of England. The victory of the Thistles over the J. B. A .A. was the football surprise of lnsl week. The Scotsmen bent Sam Lorimcr's tribe by n score of three goals to one, nnd ns the Buys were considered ns one of the strongest teams in the series, there wns much comment. The Wards hud a lucky will over the Sons of England eleven, a long shot giving them the victory. The Victoria West team did not piny, the Garrison eleven, which wns drawn against them having retired from the league. The Navy eleven leads in the intermediate series, with the Victoria West second eleven close behind, nnd the Pandoras nnd Wnrds nre climbing fast. On Wednesday night the association footballers met to discuss the proposal for affiliation- with tbe City League by the Island League. A good proposal is being put forward by Sam Lorimer, the veteran association footballer, to the effect Hint u northwest football lengue be organised for next season. His plan is to arrange for a series of matches between representative teams of Hie cities of the northwest, Victoria, Vancouver, Nanaimo; Seattle nnd possibly Tuconia nnd Portlnnd being included in the circuit. Mr. Lorimer hns taken up the matter with Mr. Leith, president of the Mainland Football Club, who is in fnvor of the scheme nnd will bring it up at the next meeting of the Vancouver aggregation. PROFESSIONAL lacrosse seems likely to be revived this summer, nnd a team for Victoria is a prospect. Negotiations have been going on for some time to this end, nnd players nre being recruited for tbe twelve. Len TuriibuU, the speedy home player of New Westminster, is one who hns agreed to piny on the Victoria tenm, nnd Sibby Nichols, of the Vnncouver hockey tenm nnd Micky Ions nre reported to he probable members of the local team. Boss Johnson, Ed Brynjolfson and due Dakers, who joined the Vnncouver tenm, arc also expected to hnve places. Harry Pickering is slated to manage the local team. Amateiir lacrosse is also likely to be much more to the front here tllis coming summer. Joe Lnlly bus offered to donate medals for trophies in a city league lo be competed fot by the juniors of tlle capital. In a letter to Waller Smaill, Hie Cornwall lacrosse expert snys he will come to llie const in March, and will then see whnt can be done toward tlie organisation of a junior lacrosse league. m BASEBALLERS will soon be at work on the local diamond. It is expecled that lhe Victoria team will be assembled in about two weeks' time to begin its training. The local management is adopting a new plan this yenr. After its yenr of veteran players, nnd its yenr of fence busters, it intends to go in for speed this season. Malinger Dolnuis is looking lo speed ns the first requisite. Lnst yonr the idea was to have a wrecking crew thai could clout the bull sufficiently hard to allow time to amble around lhe bugs. There will be n number of new players. In all, about 35 hnve been signed to date, and there will be quite a battle for the regulnr positions. Brooks is the only hold-out. He and the club differ ns to his value, and as yet they cannot be reconciled. Felts sent his contract in during the week. He had received nn offer with n larger salary attached to join the Federals, but not being able to draw a guarantee from the outlaws, he did not wish to get outside the pine of organised bull. ON Thursday night, a meeting of those interested in securing funds to build a yacht ns a challenger representing Victorin for the Sit Thomas Lipton trophy was held, and u scheme put forward whereby it is proposed to sell 800 shares at live dollars a share, the holder of each •share being given u chnnce to win the yacht in a raffle. The cost of the vessel will be $4,000. A committee hns been formed to arrange for financing the construction of the boat. The Lipton Cup wns presented by Sir Thomas Lipton, the popular yachtsman, whose Shamrock IV. is to cross the Atlantic this summer to make his fourth attempt to lift the America Cup. THERE will be no cricket tour by the Australian cricketers this summer ns was expected. This announcement no doubt will be received with much regret not only by Victoria cricketers, but by all interested in the sport in the Dominion, ns the lust visit of the Australians did much to bring cricket to the fore. Cnptnin Diamond endeavoured to recruit a tenm to make the tour, but the cricket officials of Australia threatened any players who did with expulsion, and the proposed tour lias been abandoned in consequence. VICTORIA CURLING CLUB, nt its meeting held on Monday, decided to erect rinks. The report of the committee which recommended the purchase of property adjacent to the Fair grounds for this purpose wns adopted, nnd steps will be taken to arrange for the building of rinks in readiness for play next season. Sir Richard McBride was elected patron of the club, nnd Mr. Thomas Anderson wns apointed ns secretary. The club will send n number of rinks to the bonspiel to be held nl Vnncouver from March 2nd to 12th. Many curlers will attend this bonspiel, rinks from Winnipeg and Seattle being among those expected.

Coal mining rights of the Dominion, ln Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, the Yukon Territory, the Northwest Territories and ln a portion of the Province of British Columbia, may be leased for a term of twenty-one years at an annual rental of 11 an acre. Not more than 2,660 acres will be leased to one applicant. Applications for a lease must be mads by the applicant in person to the Agent or Sub Agent of the District In which the rights applied for are situated. In surveyed territory the land must bs described by sections, or legal sub-dlvt- sloas of sectloas, and ln unsurveyed territory the tract applied for shall bs staked out by the applicant himself. Each application must be accompanist by a fee of $6 which will be refunded if the rights applied for are not available, but not otherwise. A royalty shall bs paid on the merchantable output of the mine at the rate of Ave cents per ton. The person operating the mine shall furnish the Agent with sworn returns accounting for the full quantity of merchantable coal mined and pay the royalty thereon. If the coal mining rights are not being operated, such returns should be furnished at least once a year. The least will include the coal mining rights only, but the lessee may be permitted to purchase whatever available surface rights may be considered necessary for the working of the mine at ths rate of $10.00 an acre.

BARNARD. ROBERTSON. HEISTERMAN ft TAIT. Solicitors for tho Applicants. Jan. 24 fob. 28 Page Eight THE WEEK Saturday, February 28, 1914 (Continued from Front Page) lhe City Council and especially of the Parks Committee is directed to this matter. Citizens' Golf Course THERE is a very ill-founded supposition abroad that golf is un aristocratic game. This supposition is bred of ignorance, because in the laud that gave it birth everybody plays and in Canada there are public golf links in several of our largest cities, the most notable being on .Fletcher's Fields, Montreal. Why should those who can afford to pay a stiff fee and belong to the Victoria Golf Club enjoy a monopoly of the game? Why should not Victoria, catering especially for tourist traffic, furnish an opportunity to the visitor of any class or no class to drive the elusive sphere over a course provided by the city, at a nominal charge'( As far as The Week can see there is no obstacle and as the expense of preparing such a course would be trivial the suggestion is thrown out for whnt it is worth. There is ample room for one on the various stretches of ground belonging to the city lying between Menzies Street to Douglas on the Dallas Road, then along the shore front between the road and the sea in Beacon Hill Park and by arrangement with the Dominion Government on the abandoned Clover Point riflo range, tlle course to be completed to the old butts, and thus furnish one of the best links on the Pacific Coast. Jii many parts of England and Scotland it bus been found to be of thc greatest benefit to establish golf courses on civic property and the smallest charge suffices to meet the cost of maintenance. In Victoria twenty-five cents a round would be ample. There arc not a few of our permanent citizens who would look on this ns tho greatest boon they could have, and as the land is vacant and unused at present a golf course would add to the beauty of the park and the present goat pasture along the Dallas Uoad. The Week makes this suggestion in tho hope that sonic energetic citizen who has no hobby will take it up before a worse fate befalls this long stretch of land on the sea front. Dramatic Criticism A FEW months ago when William Fnversham ciinio to Victoria to present "Julius Caesar," The Week criticized his portrayal of .Mark Antony somewhat severely. Objection was raised to his flippancy, modernity and the novelty of a reading which ignored all the traditional conceptions of a Shakespearean play and substituted those of an up-to-date melodrama. This criticism was resented in certain quarters, more especially by those to whom William Faver- sham has long been a "matinee idol." It is therefore with exceptional pleasure that The Week reprints on page four of the current issue a criticism from the pen of Mr. James Metcalfe, the celebrated New York critic, and undoubtedly the ablest American writer on the drama. A reference to this criticism will show not only that ho has formed the same impression of Mr. Fnversham as that given in The Week, but he uses almost the same language to describe his manner. He apparently agrees with the conclusion that while Mr. Faversham may be a "matinee idol" and an attractive actor, he is temperamentally unfitted to play Shakespearean roles. The End of a Bitter Fight THE fight which has been waged between the G. T. P. nud lhe Natural Resources Securities Co., Ltd., for several years affecting fhe location of a station al Fort George has finally ended. In May last the Railway Commissioners granted the application of the Natural Resources Company and directed that the G. T. P. should build a station within 3,000 feet of the eastern boundary of Fort George. Tho railway company appealed to the Governor-General-in-Coiincil and the members of the Cabinet heard the appeal recently, Judgment was given in favour of the Natural Resources Company and in consequence the order of the Railway Commissioners made last May becomes law. Apart from the merits of the question, it is u matter of great importance to the public to have tllis point settled. The long delay and uncertainty us to the final result have been embarrassing to the townsite companies as well ns to hundreds of people who have purchased lots in and around Fort George. With a settlement of the question, with steel laid into the new metropolis of the Cariboo an,I with the certainty that it will he connected with the Const hy the end of the present year, there is nothing to prevent Fort George from forging ahead. It is understood that in the near future the Provincial Government will hold a sale of its town lots, which are very extensive and valuable, and this policy will no doubt give an impetus to the settlement and development of fhe country. Incidentally it may be permitted The Week to congratulate the Natural Resources Company on the energy and pluck they have shown in fighting for what is now conceded by the highest authorities to have been their right. Thnl lhe only question is whelhei lhe punishment was too drastic. That lhe first principle governing he gnmc of rugby is discipline, Thai il may do no harm lo shed a liltle day-light on the affairs of the Victoria Amateur Dramatic Society. Thnt under the presidency of Colonel Hobday il has attained a success never reached before. Thai it hns mure Ihau a thousand dollars in the hank al lhe disposal of lhe committee fur charities or otherwise. That the only mistake lhc committee has mnde was in nol Inking lhe members of lhe club more fully into ils confidence. That u special meeting lo ventilate the whole matter will do no harm and should strengthen lhe position of lhe club. That the packed houses which witnessed lhe "Quaker Girl" testify eloquently lo the kind of show which people want. "SOTTO VOCE" Bv the Hornet THAT lhe letters of Messrs. Bil- linghurst and Forrester re thc liugby Union cmeute do more credit to their heart than their head. That they are known to be .ureal lovers of the game, bill Ihey hnve mil mastered lhc details of the present dispute. That as "Hornet" snid lnsl week, tho time has come for a "showdown." % That if thc central committee is not to be allowed to manage, there is an end of nil organization. That Ihis is nil the more surprising since there was not one good singing voice in the company. That Victor Morley was ns humorous nud effective us ever, but his stories are becoming chestnuts. That some people thought "Hornet" wns joking when he ! 'ked about dollar theatres, but a reference to page four of the current issue will show what reason ho had for the faith that was in him. That incidentally the reference will also show Ihal the institution lias ue- tually been established ill the Slates. That il is surely better to play to a full dollar house every time than In n full two-dollar house once in a blue union. Thai there is more money, more kudos and more comfort iu n full house. Thai a full house is very much bel- tei thnn tho average hand. That the (ire Hem! was not success- ful in removing one historic landmark from Courtney Street on Thursday lust. That there are still loo ninny old wooden buildings iu the business area. Thnl the Medical Officer made the sensational report of a weekly paper look like thirty cents. That while everyone knows that our milk supply might be improved, there is nothing to be gained by frightening people to death. That until conclusive evidence to Ihe contrary is adduced, the public will accept the stacmeiifs of Dr. (!. A. B. Hall. That if is none too soon to begin to think nbout the Dominion Agricultural Exhibition. Thai six months will soon slip by nnd lhe board of management cannot begin work too quickly. Thai "Hornet" ventures to suggest Hint there arc several talented women who might well he given u larger share in lhc direction of affairs. That if there are any Victorians interested in n genuine gold discovery they should read the Hrst article on the mining page of this issue. Thnt lhc gentleman from San Francisco who furnished The Times wilh n column of copy on the subject of carnivals could not have been advised as to the result of Victoria's lasl carnival. That it requires nol a litlle gull for an outsider to advise Victorians on such a subject. That it would hnve been very much lucre to the poinl if he hnd shown lhc Carnival Committee how lo pay off some $8,000 of debts. That the word "Carnival" slinks so badly in the nostrils of Victorians that all the perfumes of Araby could not render it acceptable. That it is to be hoped the lasl has been heard of investigations into the conduct of lhe Sooke waterworks scheme. iU Thai the time of Ihe Council enn be much more profitably spent in transacting legitimate business. Thnt the members of the Council who nre introducing politics into ils discussions would do well In lake a second thought. Thnl nothing could so certainly hinder lhe work of what should be n very capable Council. Hi Thnt this time it is certainly not Ihe Mayor who is responsible. Thai Ihe Chief Arithmetician of the Victoria Daily Times went lo u school where Ihey did nol teach the three "R's". That his figures in the issue of Wednesday lnsl wore a joke. * That the Liberal Convention is anxious to know why Mr. William Sloan left so hurriedly for Ottawa. * That they are equally anxious lo find out whore he left nn expected cheque for $500. That the popular supposition is that the Convention received a "cheek" instead of a "cheque." MS That it is doubtful if Mr. Sloan hns yet forgotten tbe Prince Rupert conference nl which he was euchred out of his sent. That Ihe price of "the great surrender" has not yet been paid, and is not likely to be. That Dean Doull's advice to ministers to keep jiolilics out of the pulpit is timely and should be taken. Thai there can be no two opinions that Ihe Report of tho Agricultural Committee is the most exhaustive and valuable of any report yet presented lo the Provincial Legislature. Thai il will well repay a year's sluily and should then be ripe for legislation. Thnl the real security behind the Canadian Northern Railway lies in Ihe potentialities of the Province. Thnl England is having a dose of the Monroe Doctrine which it finds very difficult to swallow. Thai it is lhe first lime on record Ihal the murder of an Englishman has nol resulted in prompt reprisals. That as a rule Englishmen like to do their own avenging, and not lenve il even to n friendly power. That as President Wilson nud Secretary Bryan seem powerless in the null ter. we are confronted with a humiliating experience. That the President is only just beginning to reap the fruits of his ill- advised and ill-digested Mexican policy. That speaking seriously "Hornet" is unable lo recall the time referred to by the Victoria Times when Sir William Mackenzie was "as silent as Hie spinx." That any politician can become a hero to the Opposition if he will only criticize his own party. Thill the latesl Conservative to have a halo placed around him by Iho Liberal press is Mr. R. B. Bennett. That it is n very cheap halo and cost nothing but an attack on the Canadian Northern. Thai the South African deportees counted withonl Ibeir host when they figured on lording it in England. 'Mill bv l.ln courageous ami oogooi- ous notion General Botha has proved himself to be one of the strong leaders of lhe Empire. That ho has probably scotched labour agitation in Soulli Africa for a deeade at least. That the deportation of professional agitators is justifiable and should become universal. Thai Ihey are nol lhe friends, bill the enemies, of the working-man. MS That Lohengrin's while swan was lhe centre of attraction on Vales Street lust week. Thai Ihe popularity of Madame Clara Hull is as great as ever. That Archbishop Bruchesi, of Montreal has come down with both feet on tango teas. That if is lo be feared his ban will be far-reaching iu its effects. Thnt after all lhc tango ten is whal you make it, and depends entirely on lhe brew. Walter Adye Geoffrey L.

It is that the city should approach the owners thereof and offer to clear and level up this space, filling in with elenn ashes and putting a surface of small sea shingle thereon, on the understanding that the space so reclaimed should be for the use of the city and the public until such time as the several owners may be ready to build. It may be that the City Council has power to oblige the owners to clean up this property; but, if not, it seems to me that the cost of making this space presentable would not be very great. Personally, as a citizen, I should be willing lo subscribe a small sum, with others, to remove this reproach on tlie fair city of Victoria. Obediently yours, R. LYNDHDRST WADMORE, Colonel, retd. Victorin, Feb. 26th, 1914. Other times—other manners, and we feel very sure that the time is now ripe for such a movement ns the Western Co-operative Association have started up in'Victoria recently. The high cost of living has reached an intolerable burden—not, we are sure, altogether the fault of the retailers who are a hard-working, honourable body of citizens. But what with high rent, high wages, dear transportation (and we might add the loose shopping methods of the general public), prices go up—up—up. If the Western Co-operalive can only find even a partial solution, they will be helping the weary housewives to mnke both ends meet; and will, we are convinced, in the end not hurt lhc case of the retailer either. The wholesaler has ben weighing him down under a grievous burden for a long lime, nnd if the introduction of the cash system can be brought about, a long wny will have been sped towards a better condition of things in Victoria.
