The Week A British Columbia Newspaper and Review The Official Organ of the Victoria Real Estate Exchange |fol. XIII, No. 10—13th Year Victoria, B.C., Canada, July 31,1915 5c. a copy, $2.00 a year Prom Precedent to Precedent THERE are few thoughtful men who will not adopt tho sentiment so simply and eloquently expressed by Sir Robert Borden, thnl the high honor conferred upon him by the City of London wns "not so much a personal tribute ns a compliment to the grent Dominion which 1 hnve the honor to represent in this grent testing time of our manhood." This is not to depreciate the noble personality nnd the invaluable services rendered in the Empire's Terisis by the Premier of Canada. It. is to recognize the true inwardness of he silent but irrosistable movement which is currying nil the .Dominions of the Empire nearer to the gonl of Imperial Federation. The broadening of tbe British constitution, in spite of the poetic dictum, of England's greatest Laureate is not so much the result of "shaping some august decree" ns of a slow but, persistent march from "Precedent to precedent." This idea hns never been more aptly or more eloquently expressed than in the admirable reply of Sir Robert Borden in the Guildhall. He struck the keynote not only of the ceremony, but of the sentiment which the present grent wnr has done so much to crystnlize when he said thnt the connecting link between the Overseas Dominion and the Motherland wns "Love of liberty and insistence upon the rights of the people, memorable everywhere in these Islands, and especially distinguishing the citizens of London. Nor do I forget thnt the snnie qualities characterized the people id' the neighboring country, within the quiet of whose churchyard sleep those whoso blood runs iu my veins." With ex- quisite skill Sir Robert sketched the growth of the British nation hroiigh those periods when autocratic government was a necessity. Jiu one quick sentence lie told how the growing aspirations of a free- Idoiu loving people extorted laws anil charters from the autocracy, I nml ultimately developed orderly government on one hand and individual liberty on the other. He said well thnt "upon tbe secure foundations of justice nnd the equality of all men before tbe law the fabric of national life wns built." It wns especially fitting thnt the Premier of nn Overseas .Dominion should point out bow upon this foundation was also built the noble idea of democracy, founded upon quality nml opportunity for nil people. In emphasizing this important point be but reflected the sentiment nnd aspirations of the country which he represents, nnd such nn emphasis contains not only the statement of n great truth, but the suggestion of a growing demand. In appropriately commenting upon the notable contribu- ions of Australia, Now Zealand, South Africa and Cnnadn he did well to remind his bearers thnt they were nil "great free nations possessing full rights of self government, enjoying pnrlininenlry institutions, and living by the voice of tbe people." It is this very spirit of independence that renders the services of the Dominion to the Empire so significant and invaluable. Sir Robert put in n clnim not only to Ibe snnie impulses as are to be found in the love of liberty, and the ideals of democracy, but also to tbe noble impulse which could not stand aside and see trampled in the dust a weak and unoffending people whose independence and liberties we hail guaranteed. In this light of true eloquence Sir Robert plnecd Canada on the highest possible plane, nml claimed consideration for her policy and action, as that of n nnlion sharing with the greatest of nations the ineradicable desire to enforce justice for lhe weak. Nor did he forget to claim a share also in (he conviction that the destinies of the Empire of which Canada is n part, and lhe future of civilization and of the world arc involved in this wnr. Canada could not wish for a finer, nor could there be n truer presentment of her ense. It is n dignified justification of her policies. It is nn equally dignified clnim to equality, and n claim whieh it is certain will be recognized. We need not be concerned at the moment about our future relations with tbe Imperial Government, that is not a matter for argument, it will work out its own salvation, and that it is doing so has never been more positively demonstrated than in the reception and recognition of Sir Robert Borden as the representative of one of those free nations which chooses voluntarily to shoulder its share of the Imperial burden. When tbe war is over, when the ideals for whieh for the tirsi time in her history Canada is giving tens of thousands of her sons hnve been maintained, when thnl freedom, justice and equality which are the life breath of the British Empire have been successfully re-established, there will be no need to ask for recognition. It will he found thnt events have framed another precedent, and that the pnsticc and equality for which the Overseas Dominions hnve fought were hy that'act secured for themselves as well as for the teeming millions of people who are subjects of the British Empire, and the untold millions who owe it no allegiance. Progress of the War AT THE moment of going to press, Warsaw has not actually fallen, but the character of the official despatches from Petrograd leaves little room to doubt that further retirement by the Russian forces is contemplated. The appeal to the people to have confidence in their armies, and to preserve tranquility in the face of probable developments can have but one meaning, and if their patience, already sorely tried, should have a further strain placed upon it, there is no reason to doubt that the official appeal will he fully justified. It has heen well said by the Russian military critics that it is better to snve the armies by a further retreat, to carefully prepared and strongly fortified positions than to sacrifice thousands of lives hy clinging to positions that have no strategic value. This is tho ease with Warsaw, and greatly as the Allies would deplore even a temporary victory for the armies of Germany and Austria, with its inevitable concomitant of a "triumphal entry," it would be far easier to face this than to mourn the loss of any considerable number may be nothing can tarnish the brilliant reputation of the Grand Duke Nicholas. He has already demonstrated that he is one of the greatest military commanders of all ages. Confronted by the strongest and best organized forces which ever went on a battlefield; himself in command of troops which we now know have never been fully equipped, nnd which nre deficient in the most important munitions of warfare, he has for twelve months carried on a campaign in which he has never experienced any spectacular loss, and in which he has inflicted losses on the enemy which have made serious nnd permanent inroads on their efficiency. He may be beaten for the moment, but if so he is beaten by circumstances, and his military genius and the manner of his masterly retreat must inspire the whole world with confidence that when properly equipped he will "come again" with an offensive which will he irresistible. It must not be forgotten thnt on a battle front, of at least five hundred miles be is fighting from four millions to five millions of the enemy. Nothing approaching this bus ever been recorded in history. It is impossible to grasp even the salient features of the conflict, and therefore it is impossible to sufficiently appreciate the superb conduct of the troops nnd the equally superb stntegy of their commander. For tbe moment the fate of Warsaw transcends every other consideration, but on the authority of Mr. Asquith, who dismissed tbe House of Commons for a two months vacation, there are no disquieting features, and the British Government has undiminished confidence in the final result. The American Note IT IS not too much to say that the last American Note to Germany reflected the absence of William Jennings Bryan from the Council Chamber. It was altogether free from those specious suggestions of humanity and friendship for lhe United Slates which disfigured the first Note, and died a hard death iu the second. The last. Note is more carefully framed, more definite and more incisive. Its reception in Germany is the best evidence of this. Tbe ",Ilinkers" do not see their way to answer it. and urge that it be ignored. This is excellent advice from tbe standpoint id' those who will find it quite impossible to make an effective reply. The full import of tbe American Note is to nail down the essential points of the controversy. Por lhe first time it demands in unequivocal language that Germany shall recognize the rights of neutral shipping on lb:' high seas. It stntes specifically that "the Government of the I'uitcil States cannot discuss the policy of the Government of Great Britain except with thnt Government itself." It reiterates that illegal and inhuman acts cannot be legalized hy the "Necessities of wnr." If persisted in, such nets "constitute nn unpardonable offence against the sovereignty of tbe neutral nation affected, li cannot consent to abate any essentials or fundamental rights of its people because of a mere alteration of circumstances." The German Government is pointedly asked to disavow the wanton net of its Naval Commander in sinking the Lusitania, or otherwise to make reparation for the American lives lost, as far ns the reparation can be mnde for n needless destruction of human life by nn illegal act." The two most significant passages in the Note are the folowing: "The Government of the United States will continue lo contend for the freedom of the seas from whatever quarter violated without compromise and at any cost." And the final warning that "Repetition by tbe commanders of Germnn nnvnl vessels nre acts in contravention of those rights, nml must be regarded by the Government of the United Stntes wh n they affect American citizens as deliberately unfriendly." It will take the Kaiser, the Chancellor, Von .Tngow and Count Bemslorf nil their time to furnish a satisfactory reply to lhis indictment without signing their own death wiirnnt. li is hardly possible , i prolong the controversy on merely technical points after such direel demands by the United Suites Government, mid The Week sees no reason lo alter ils opinion, expressed nl the time lhe character of ibe American Nolo wns foreshadowed in the press, that the result musl inevitably be the breaking off of diplomatic relations. Givll Servants and the War TUP WEEK bus several limes referred lo llie fuel thnl ibe Ordor-iu-Council of the Provincial Governmenl dealing with the snlnries of civil servants who hnve gone to ibe fronl exercises nu unfair discrimination in favor of those who bad joined militia units prior to the outbreak of war. li was quite right to guarantee any deficiency of income resulting from enlistment, Inn there is no valid reason why the same measure of justice should nol be meted out. to civil servants who nre now willing to go to ibe front, but wdio are excluded from the benefits of this Ordor-in-Council by the fact that they had not before the wnr joined Ibe Militia. Wc know far better now than we did a year ago how urgently men are needed, and if the want is greater, certainly the inducements should not bo less. Nobody is in favor of conscription, nnd the ill-advised agitation of the Ottawa Citizen for a referendum on the subject will arouse no sympathy in the country. If. however, conscription is to he avoided, every reasonable inducement must be offered for voluntary enlistment, and among those inducements, surely the mosl reasonable is for the Government to plnce nil civil servants on nn equality in the matter of financial treatment. In the \arious departments there must, be a considerable number of young men qualified to enlist. Some hnve already done so. in spile of the heavy handicap imposed by the Ordor-in-Council. In the East, public feeling runs high in this matter, and several influential organizations hnve urged the Dominion and Provincial Governments to insist on enlistment, or otherwise to deprive the men of their positions in the service. This is a drastic measure which it is to be hoped will not become necessary, but the straw shows which way the wind blows. There is little doubt, if the present urgency continues, every able bodied mail between eighteen and forty-live who can pass the physical tests, nnd the medical examination, will have to go to the front, if he does not go voluntarily it is certain that he will have to go under compulsion. But compulsion is repugnant to British ideas, which is why other expedients should first be tried. The Week believes that if equal financial treatment were granted, so thai the deprivations of wife nnd children left behind were reduced to a minimum, there is no right minded man in the Civil Service who would not rather go to the front and fight for himself and his home than feel thnt he wns nllowing some other mini to make the snerifice for him which he should make for himself. Bathing on Sundays AFTER having failed in its campaign against ice cream vending, and tobacco for the men nt the front, the L. D. A. recently tried a. fall with the Sunday bathers of Tin to. The L.D.A. does not believe in Sunday bathing, it believes in a weekly bath taken on Saturdays, and is not prepared to relax its stringency even in the dog days of July. It has never recognized that there is any connection between cleanness of body and cleanness of mind, although criminal statistics go a long way to establish the fact. Moreover the L. D, A. is far more intent upon maintaining cleanness on the inside of the pitcher than on the outside, one instance in which it departs from its original type. However, the Police Commissioners quickly disposed of the ridiculous prosecution and decided tbnt Sunday bathing is a necessity, nnd therefore legal. So far Victoria bathers have been immune from impertinent interference of this kind, which furnishes another cause for gratification tbnt Victorin is nearly three.thousand miles from Toronto. Unemployment THE COLONIST of yesterday had a line editorial on the subject of Unemployment, on its Women's page. It said more in a third of a column llian some editorials have done iu a column and n half. Its chief value, however, lies in the fact that it goes to the point mid tells the truth without fear of the consequences. There is .some excuse for the male editor, because il is distinctly out of his province to deal with one aspect of the question, nnd very much out of his province to deal with it from woman's standpoint. Only a woman could do this, ami the accomplished Woman Editor of The Colonist do?s ii to perfection. After skirting the subject by just touching on the many remedies for uon-employ- inenl which have been tried in Europe, nnd lo a more limited extent in Canada, such as the establishment of labor exchange bureaus, Government insurance against unemployment, and voluntary associations grunting benefits with Government assistance, the article turns to ibe very practical matter of what the women can do towards helping themselves and iheir families. Tbe Week cnnnol do better than to allow the latter pari of Ibis article, which is admirable in every respect to speak for itself, at tbe same time commending it to tlie most serious consideration of the women of British Columbia, Perhaps the most thnl women can hope lo do towards solving this .limit problem nl presenl is m see llinl their children, girls ns well ns hoys, learn how in work, li is not, ;is a rule, the man or woman who is skilled nnd capable who is unable to Hnd work somewhere. The tendency In build cities Easter thiiii Ihey nre needed is another cause of unemployment, nnd for this women have heen in no small degree responsible. In Canada hind is nllowed to remain un- prodductive while people crowd into the cities. The dislike of man- lull labor and false standards of comforl nnd rednemeul on the pari oi mothers and daughters often cause families lo leave country homes for lhe city. The girl who will net do lhe cooking, donning iitnl needlework of lhe farmhouse often works fur harder in the store or office. Some are encouraged lo enter any profession or learn any Irnde rather than thai of ihe farmer. Vel the land will, when properly cultivated, nfford a degri f comfort nol common in city homes. With the improvement in machinery ami the advancement of scientific farming much of ihe drudgery of tho fnrin has disappeared, If unemployment is not in become a perironeiit condition in Cnundii, women ns well ns men must endeavor in llml Multiplicity of Funds Tills Victoria Times bus made ii very reasonable protest ngainsl ibe undue multiplicity of organizations for raising funds for the wnr. It says, with truth, thai they nre already sufficient, mid instead of starting a new fund for every little detail that may be required, it would be wiser lo utilize existing organizations. This is sound advice, though not very easy to act upon, Every fund has ils officers and committees, tenacious of their individual and collective rights. Pew are willing to sink llml individuality. yet proper organization is impossible without amalgamation, The grent evil to be avoided is over-lapping. Il is also possible to tire the public by loo frequent inconsecutive appeals. The Week is not advocating thnt any existing organizations should be shut down, but it strongly supports the plea of The Times, that no new one should be started. If a new or a novel want arises, if can well be met by "lie of lhe existing organizations. Concentration of elTort bus already effected much in Victoria, thanks mainly lo the devotion and patriotism of our women folk. Tl can do all thai is required if its strength is not dissipated, bv nn undue multiplication of agencies.

Saturday, July 31, 1915 THE WEEK Page Three THE COLUMBIA At Trie Street Corner BY THE LOUNGER ffi^-^ps-^P5^-^ggr~^.B On Wednesday morning' I strolled round the City market to see what effect tlie little hostility which has recently developed against it was having nn business. I must say that I was greatly surprised. At ten thirty a.m. there were not thirty buyers in the market. The stall holders were sitting down waiting for customers, and only an inconsiderable percentage oi' the goods hnd been sold. I asked the reason, and on all bauds was told that it was due to two things. First, tbe studied circulation oi' the report that inferior meat had been suld. Second, tlie effect of injudicious newspaper correspondents, which had convinced the public that they had a legitimate greivance against the market, because of high prices. Whether these were the true causes or not it would he a matter for regret if anything permanently hindered the success of the market. As a constant supporter, I would strongly urge the people of Victoria not to be deceived in this mutter. There may have been reasonable grounds for complaint, but none that could justify a boycott. I do not consider that nn intelligent method of overcoming the difficulty. Surely the buyer can do something for himself. If be thinks he has been asked too high a price, common sense would suggest that lie should say so. Napoleon once called England a "Nnlion of shopkeepers," but English descendants iu Victoria must have lost all their trading instinct if they are no longer able to barter. The principle stands iu every other branch of business, why not in marketing? Being a bachelor, shopping is mil nf my line, but I put this very principle nf "barter" to tho test on Wednesday. A lady urged me to buy cherries,—four boxes for a quarter— I looked wise .and snid, "Ob! 1 think that is a little high, if you make il five I'll buy a quarter's worth." The thing worked like a charm, and I found myself walking away with five pounds of delicious cherries nt live cents a pound. Tbe stores were selling ihe same cherries nt three pounds fur a quarter. As for inferior meal, that is a matter of inspection, and imfurtunnloly our inspection is lax; but it is no more lax than inspection in the stores, nnd therefore does not furnish an argument against the market alone. I plead for a consideration of the whole subject on broader grounds. There- can be no quest ion that the market has been the main factor in materially reducing Ibe price of garden produce, meat and llsh. If it were to close, we should speedily see Ibese prices soar up lo the old figures, or higher. Moreover, the market hns heen the means nf enabling fanners to dispose of Iheir produce, whereas before limy were entirely at Ihe mercy of the wholesalers. Tl is more important to Victorin in see fanning successfully established in Ihe Saanich Peninsula than to save a few cents a pound iu the purchase of commodities. It means mure for the permanent prosperity of Ihe city, and thnt is why I hope thai the public will not be stampeded by a few well-meaning bul thoughtless persons who have rushed into print without considering the consequences. Readers of The Week ten years ago will remember well bow 1 was always hammering away at the subject of beautifying our city. I had two pel schemes, lhe planting of Irees, ami ll ultivating of window gar- dons. I recall one article in which i gave Ihe history of Ihe Kyrle Society in Birmingham, nnd showed how much Ibe systematic adoption nf window boxes contributed In the brightness uf Ihe street. For some years we have had a capital illustration nf this in ibe windows of tbe Imperial Bank, and more recently in the Merchant's Bunk. There arc others, lint these are perhaps the most conspicuous. With nil Ihe activities of war thick upon us, I am not now advocating the formation of a Kyrle Society in Victorin, although it might well receive consideration in times nf peace. But I do call attention In the fact, thnt window gardening has developed considerably in Victoria of late years, and with the most gratifying results. Even the most insignificant tenement bouse, or tbe meanest store, can be wonderfully brightened when the window is lighted up with a few brilliant lined bowers, among which Lobelia, Geranium, Fnschia ancl Daisy are the most successful. The other branch of culture—tree planting—has been carried to a pitch of excellence in Victoria, which few modern cities can rival. No wiser thing wns ever done along these lines than the starting of the nursery in Beacon Hill Park. From the smallest of beginnings it has now reached dimensions which enable it lo furnish trees and plants for every boulevard and open space in the city. At first there were a few people who doubted the wisdom of Ibis, but Ihey did not look far enough ahead. Today the little saplings whieh were planted four or live years ago, are flourishing shade trees. They beautify our boulevards, and increase our supply of oxygen. In a few years Victoria will be a city of trees, and from the standpoint of beauty nnd health nothing is more desirable. Tbe nursery and boulevard policy have already received I heir justification. Whilst on this subject I want to pay a tribute to those wdio are responsible for tbe splendid appearance of the grounds around the Parliament Building's. I am sure they have never looked so well. The dandelions whieh so vexed my spirit a few years ago have disappeared. The lawns are now literally like green carpets. Tbe rosary cannot he matched nearer than Portland—the City of Roses. The bedding plants are particularly well chosen, and the shrubs have been so carefully pruned and tended that they remind one of nothing so much as the shrubberies of some old English Hall. I take it that to the Head gardener belongs most of the credit for designing and supervising this work, but bis assistants must be thoroughly competent, or such excellent results would not hnve been John Barrymore, the unrivalled comedy star of the Famous Player Film Co., will be seen at the Columbia next week. It is not too much to say that, not since his memorable triumph in '' The Man From Mexico'' has Mr. Barrymore found so well- fitting a suit of dramatic clothes and so good a vehicle for his characteristic quaintness of humor. Charlotte Ives, as Lucy Sheridan, the American girl with whom the Dictator falls in love, is natural and charming, and altogether winning. By contrast, Ruby Hoffman, as Senora Junnita, tbe passionate damsel who claims the Dictator's love, proves herself to be an artiste remarkable for her effectiveness. Robert Broderick makes a strong figure ns Col. Bowie, nn adventurer seeking a United States Consulate. Waller Craven is sufficiently fierce as General Campos, the temporary president of the republic. "The Dictator" will be recorded as one of tbe foremost Famous Players John Barrymore comedy John Barrymore comedy triumphs yet presented. "I tell you I won't have this room," protested the old lady ito tbe bell boy who was conducting ber. "I aint a- goin' to pay my good money for a pigsty with a measly little folding bed in it. If you think that jest because I'm from the country"— Profoundly disguested the boy cut her short. "Get in, mum, get in," he ordered. "This ain't yer room. This is the elevator." bieved. OOr< <rtoK*^> MECHANICAL WONDER AT PANTAGES A striking representation of the sinking of the Lusitania, and also of lhe now-famous battle between H. M, A. R. Sydney and flie raider Einden, will lie shown all next week at Piui- tages Theatre, and should draw packed houses. The mechanical reproduction of the terrible disaster starts with the assembling of the German submarines in Ihe scalane, where the great ship is to 'be waylaid, then the gigantic liner conies into view, 'the torpedoes are seen in their flight toward the doomed vessel; then comes the impact of the deadly missies and the ship begins to list. The wireless is to he seen sending out Ihe "S.0.8." signal, the lifeboats are put over the side, the victims are seen struggling in the water, and finally the ship is seen to settle and plunge beneath the waves. The bnttie between the Sydney and the Einden is scarcely less interesting and certainly no less skilfully designed. Another big attraction will he the appearance here of Juliette Dilka, long popular in Parisian music halls, who will bring with her a stunning wardrobe, and some charming new songs. Josie Flynn and ber girls will give their unique minstrel show, while Tiibler and North wil] submit a laughable and tuneful act, which they call "Tlie Bashful Man and lhe Maid." Other good things appear on what will undoubtedly prove an all-star programme.

We have been in Victoria just a little over two months, and during that time have made many many friends. Every Customer Satisfied We do not know of one dissatisfied customer, in fact, this would be impossible, as every Piano we have sold has been worth at least twice the price we asked, and some a great deal more. Many of our patrons have remarked that their friends thought they had bought a new Piano, and really, these Pianos cannot be told from new. Suitable for Best Homes Please do not think that because these Pianos are used, they are ordinary second hand Pianos. They are not, they are Standard Pianos, the very best makes, and are absolutely unscratched. When opened up the works just look like new, too. You will understand that 3 or 4 months usage does not harm a good Piano in any way. Taken Two Years' Lease We have taken a lease for two years on our present showrooms, and we wish every person who buys one of these introductory Pianos from us to be a booster. We realize that it is difficult to become established in a new town, unless one spends thousands of dollars in advertising, etc. We believe more in satisfied customers, and we expect every buyer to help us. They really should, as we are offering them unheard of bargains. $600 Pianos for $100 to $200 If you have a little cash, we recommend you to buy NOW. This is your opportunity. Bring an expert with you to examine our Pianos, we invite inspection. Every instrument is guaranteed for 1 Oto 25 years. Also, we give a written guarantee that should you be dissatisfied with bargain for any reason within two years, all money will be immediately refunded. This is no catch, it is a genuine guarantee. We aro an established firm, having been in Vancouver for the last 5 years, where we now have one of the best appointed stores in that city.
