i The Week A British Columbia Newspaper and Review The Official Organ of the Victoria Real Estate Exchange and of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club jVoL XIV, No. 14—15th Year Victoria, B.C., Canada, September 16, 1916 5c. a copy $2.00 a year Provincial Elections BY an overwhelming majority the electors of the Province have deposed the Bowser Administration and installed Mr. H. 0. Brewster and his party in office. While the soldiers' vote abroad may slightly increase the number of Conservative members, it cannot affect the issue, and in all human probability we have to look forward to five years of Liberal administration. The chief reason for this is so well known that it need not be discussed. The significant feature of the Conservative defeat is that those who anticipated it, whether in the ranks of Conservatism or Liberalism, assigned but one reason. The Liberal leaders incorporated it in their battle cry. While other reasons may have contributed to the "debacle," it must now be admitted that they correctly diagnosed the conditions, and put their finger on the weak spot. A GOOD CONSERVATIVE RECORD On its record, the Conservative Government was not entitled to be defeated. It could point to thirteen years of honest administration, undoubtedly marred by some mistakes of policy and some extravagances, but it is doubtful if a Liberal Government could have avoided the pitfalls which an abnormal boom time spread for everyone. The outstanding fact is that nothing affecting the honesty of any of the Conservative administrations has been brought to light. Furthermore, whatever criticism may be directed against specific acts of the Bowser administration, which undoubtedly caused a revolt in the party, the impartial onlooker must give credit for many important and valuable measures placed upon the statute book, for an enlightened transportation policy, and for at least a good start in the direction of encouraging industrial development. It still remains I that up to date the Liberal leader has not outlined any constructive policy, and it remains to be seen how he will deal with the various enterprises which have been set agoing. There is no reason to doubt that as a capable business man he will fully appreciate the importance |' of their business side, and in spite of his criticism in the past, there is equally no doubt that he will adopt the policies involved and carry out the work that has been started. WHY THIS DEBACLE? Under these circumstances one may well ask why' the electors decided to have a change, and it is the answer to this question which in the present crisis becomes one of crucial importance to the Conservative party. The Week has always been a Conservative paper, and in spite of the taunts which arrived by to-day's mail, will continue to be Conservative. It has not been blind to the faults of the various Conservative administrations of the last thirteen years, and as far as was consistent with loyalty to one's party it has pointed them out and at times criticised them. At the last Provincial election it strongly deprecated the action of tho Government in using its power to extinguish the Opposition. It believed, and still believes, that a strong Opposition is necessary to keep any Government straight. It was the first paper in the Province to advocate an Agricultural Credits Act. At the Nelson Conservative Convention seven years ago the writer of this paragraph submitted a series of resolutions on this subjisct which were carried unanimously. From that day until the Act was brought into operation it never ceased to press the matter upon the attention of the Government. The same is true FREAK LEGISLATION of the Workmen's Compensation Act and Aid to Mining. At the last Session of Parliament the Government embarked in a species of legislation so alien to the principles of Conservatism as to arouse the strongest opposition within the ranks of the party, and to alienate a large and influential section of its supporters. Men who had been stalwarts in defence of the Government policy for many years openly opposed it on the floor of the House. It is no answer to this objection to say that the Province has endorsed the legislation, indeed it is premature to say so until the result of the soldiers' vote is known. But even assuming that the latter sustains the vote recorded on Thursday, the fact remains that the effect on the party was to split it, and to assure victory for the Liberal leaders. CONSERVATIVE SUPPORT ALIENATED The effect of this legislation and of other reasons for disaffection was not only the loss of actual support, but the driving of a number of active Conservatives into the Opposition camp. A disaffected party stood no chance of winning, oven though it could point to some recent legislation of a progressive nnd profitable character. Tho handicap of trade depression, a rock upon which many governments have been broken, was a quite sufficient handicap, to carry. The added burden made it too much. Just how far the accumulated errors of thirteen years might have contributed to defeat, it they had not been emphasized by later occurrences must remain a mntter of doubt. The Week does not believe that they would have been sufficient in themselves to have brought nbout such a reversion of public opinion. But that is purely a matter of speculation and it would not be profitable to pursue it. me. brewster's attitude endorsed The only thing for tho Conservative party to do is to face its , defeat manfully, and recognize frankly the conditions it will have lo deal with in rebuilding the pnrty nnd in regaining the position to which its principles, policies, and records entitle it. The lessons of the election are so plain that be who runs may read. In endorsing Mr. Brewster, the electors have endorsed his attitude towards the late Government and the general criticism in which he has indulged. To deny this would be to deny the logic of eyents. The electors may believe that Mr. Brewster is mistaken in some of the unimportant details of his criticism, but they must believe that in the main he is right, or they would not have given him their confidence. This means that they believe that "machine" government has secured an ascendancy in the Province which is inimical to its best interests, and they are determined to support Mr. Brewster in effecting at least the work of reorganization. The Week has repeatedly pointed out that in constitution and administration the Conservative and the Liberal "machines" are identical, but in the eyes of the electors the difference is that the Conservative "machine' has abused its power when in office, while the Liberal "machine" has yet to be placed on its trial under the machine politics same circumstances. The Week is opposed to the "machine" system of government, and always has been. It knows its weaknesses and its liabilities to abuse. It believes that Mr. Brewster is an honest and honourable man and means every word he says when he promises to "smash the machine." Of his ability to do it, now he is hampered hy the responsibilities of office and will be subjected to the adverse influence of many of his followers, The Week has great doubts, hut of his intention it has no doubts. One thing may fairly be said in this connection—that the development of "machine" politics in the Conservative party has excluded a large section of its most reputable and influential supporters, and if these are to be brought back the system will have to be changed. LAND AND TIMBER POLICY Mr. Brewster's victory must also be taken to indicate an endorsement by the electors of his indictment of the Government land and timber policy. This is not the time to discuss this policy in detail. Mr. Brewster claims that the Government has squandered the re- sourcs of the Province and alienated them to speculators. To this charge The Week has always maintained that there is a complete defence, and that the Conservative policy was in the main calculated to advance the best interests of the Province. Mr. Brewster is now entitled to say that the electors do not think so, and that by his triumphant return they endorse his views on this point. The responsibility which thiB view imposes upon him is great, because it calls for a reversion of the policy in several important respects. The late Government has smoothed his path in the matter of Crown lands by the Act passed at the last Session of Parliament, which ensured the reversion of Crown lands not fully paid for to the Crown at the end of the present year. But there are many other matters in connection with both land and timber which Mr. Brewster will be able to deal with legislatively, if he so desires, and it will be extremely interesting to see how he approaches the task. THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK By the return of Mr. Brewster the electors have endorsed his statement, repeated on every plntform which he has occupied during the last three months, that the revenues of the Province have been and are being squandered; that it is bad management to provide for a budget expenditure of $11,000,000, with a prospective revenue of $5,000,000 (this is the way The Victoria Times puts it). In any event the electors have endorsed Mr. Brewster's charge that the Provincial expenditures are much too high and must he reduced. The view of The AVeek is that they have been reduced to the lowest possible point, and that all the energies of the Government should he directed to increasing the revenue. The majority of the electors, however, apparently think otherwise, and accept Mr. Brewster's statement that the cost of administration must be cut down. We shall all wait with some impatience and much interest the developing of Mr. Brewster's policy along these lines. CORRUPTION AND GRAFT It would be idle to deny that Mr. Brewster's return also involves an endorsement by the electors of his charges of corruption and graft brought against the Government. This has been the most prominent plank in his platform. It carried him to victory at thc by-election. He has never ceased to keep it in the forefront of his programme, and although he utterly failed to bring home during tbe late parliament nry session any of the specific charges which be made, both ho and Mr. Macdonald have persistently reiterated them, and have declared that if they had not be thwarted in vnrious ways, they would hnve "made good." If they still sincerely believe this, they must be possessed of information which hns never reached The AAteek, nnd undoubtedly they will be compelled by nn aroused public opinion to carry this matter to a final issue. They ennnot now sit down and say that, because they hnve been returned to power, nnd have other matters of administrative import mice to attend to, those investigations enn be dropped. They will tnke possession of the treasury benches, they will have access to nll the Government records, and if they are honest men they wdll certainly do both themselves and the men whom thoy charge with wrong-doing the juslico of prosecuting their inquiries to n finish. Although returned to power for n possible five yenrs, they must not think thnt the largo "silent vote" which played such nn important part in tlieir election, will be unmindful of subsequent events. Apparently it accepted their statement thnt they hnd not hnd sufficient time to make good on their charges. Inn with an nbsolntiy free1 band they will be expected to do so. THE PLtGOINQ CASK One of the most linking incidents in thc election i- the return of Mr. M. A. Mncdonild at llie bead of the poll in A'ni ver. Indeed, it is doubtful if/anything iu connection with the election furnishes more serious mod for reflection for tbe Conservative party. Serious charges hnve! been mnde againsl Mr. Macdonald, charges which, if absolutely proved, would constitute him a criminal deserv ing of imprisonment. The Government case, as developed through the committee of investigation into the A'ancouver plugging, meant that Mr. Macdonald had imported an election crook, of whose character he was aware, for the purpose of carrying on illegal practices to secure his own return. It meant that Mr. Macdonald's tool had carefully organized these illegal practices, with Mr. Macdonald's full knowledge and approval, and that the latter bad paid for this dirty work and subsequently paid heavily to prevent the truth from coming to light. No more serious charge could be made against a public man. In his very able address in the Old Victoria Theatre last Monday night the Premier elaborated a most convincing argument along these lines, and practically endorsed the charge in its entirely. Vancouver's confidence On the other hand, Mr. Brewster has always professed the fullest confidence in his colleague. He has declared that the whole thing was a Conservative plot, designed to ruin Mr. Macdonald. He has on every platform declared his unabated confidence in that gentleman, and the great constituency of Vancouver has endorsed him up to the hilt by returning Mr. Macdonald at the head of the poll and by plating all the Conservative candidates, including the Premier, in the defeated list. Incidentally, the one man who gave damnatory evidence in the Court against Mr. Macdonald has been defeated by the largest majority in the Province. It is impossible to exaggerate the significance of these facts. They go to the very root of the question, and they probably explain more truly than any other single incident the reason for the overwhelming defeat of the Government. The Week is not in a position to appraise the value of the conflicting statements, and for the sake of the purity of public life it is almost imperative that this whole question should be thrashed out in the courts. The honour of both parties and of both leaders is involved, and it is not to indicate the slightest opinion on the value of the position taken up by Mr. .Brewster to say that the smashing defeat of the Premier and his colleagues in the City of ATancouver and the position of honour accorded to Mr. Macdonald is such a drastic comment on the plugging case as to outweigh every other issue raised in the campaign. CONSERVATIVE RE-ORGANIZATION All these considerations tend to show what a work still lies before the Conservative party. It has shown itself strong, and up to a certain point wise and progressive in administration. It is ,iven more essential that it should live up to this high reputation while in Opposition. To do so is to begin the work of reorganization today, for it cannot too soon prepare to assume its constitutional duties both in and out of the House with a united party at its back. It has owed its defeat to disunion; it can only recover its position by unification. No party is big enough nnd strong enough to gnin and hold power, unless it can retain the confidence and loyalty of its own supporters. Today the Conservative party of British Columbia is rent in twain, and the first step towards reunion is to bridge the chasm. In December last, as soon as the Bowser Administration assumed office, the Week advocated the holding of a Provincial convention of the party. It was the only paper to do so. Its arguments fell on deaf ears, and although a meeting of the provincial executive was held, the project was nipped in the bud. It is an open secret that the reason assigned for this was that if the forthcoming Session of the Legislature produced a number of beneficial measures, the position of the Government would be strengthened and a provincial convention would he found to be more united and generous in its support of the new administration. The Week did not think so; it had its own opinion of the proposal, and unfortunately events A TARTY CHOSEN LEADER have demonstrated the accuracy of that opinion to the letter. The contention of The Week, ns mnny of its readers will remember, wns thnt no self-nppointed lender of n party could possess the confidence of that pnrty; thnt he should lie willing to go before the pnrty nnd nt lenst give ihcm the opportunity of placing him at its bend. If it hnd done so he could justly hnve claimed, and would undoubtedly have received, the loyal support of n united party, Tf it hnd chosen some one else, it would have been his duty ns n loyal Conservative to hnve supported that choice. In nny event, tho lender would hnve been the chosen lender nf his pnrty. The AVeek is of opinion thnt the ignoring of this consideration has hnd n most disastrous effect on the fortunes of the party nnd ils leaders, especially ns Mr. Brewster enjoyed the enormous advantage of being able to slnnd on the pint- form as the choice of his pnrty. PEOVINOIAL CONVENTION Perhaps it is too lnte now to talk of a Provincial Convent inn. It is certainly too lnte to talk of a Provincial Convention convened along the old lines. Such n Convention would, tinder existing conditions, fnil to carry the support of flic party, and ils decisions would fnil lo secure its confidence. At lhe same time not, a moment should be lost in securing a truly representative gathering of Conservatives of nll clnsses. Its first business would be to nppoin! n leader, nnd in consultation with thnt lender fo outline n programme. The times call for a definite, clean-cut, progressive, optimistic policy, nnd Tim AVeck believes lhat lhe Conservative party is in n position to outline such n policy nnd fo secure llint measure of popular approval which will ultimately mnke the policy indispensable tn nny governmenl charged with the direction nf provincial affairs. It is nil the more necessary thai this should he done because we are within measurahlu distance of a Federal election, nnd just ns The AVeek does nol believe that the Conservative party "per so" was entitled to be defonted at the recent provincial elections, neither does il believe flint the ranks Page Two THE WEEK Saturday, September 16 of the "Solid Seven" who have represented British Columbia at ff^- Ottawa for the last few years should be broken. They stand for policies and projects of paramount importance, and The AVeek holds that in spite of the provincial "debacle" they represent the mass of public opinion. FEDERAL ELECTION SOON In the present crisis it would be a gigantic blunder to confuse local with Federal issues. No greater mistake could be made than to imagine that because the late Government has been so overwhelmingly defeated, that therefore the Conservative sentiment in the Province has been discounted. Tliere is not the slightest ground for such a supposition. No one knows this better than the Liberals themselves; but while tbis is true, it is equally true thnt if any attempt is made to fight the next Federal election with the present Conservative organizations, victory will not perch upon the banners of the party. The AVeek believes that this is the one great lesson of the recent conflict wdiich should be taken to heart, and which should lead to prompt action by the influential members of the party to whom the rank and tile will readily respond if the opportunity is afforded. GARDEN FETE SIGNAL SUCCESS NAVY LEAGUE CHAPTER ADDS TO FUNDS FOR PATRIOTIC PURPOSES Under the immediate patronage of his honor the lieutenant-governor aud Mrs. Barnard and Hear Admirad and Mrs. Story the Nnvy League Chapter garden fete held on Saturday afternoon at tlie beautiful garden of Mrs. David Duig, Fairfield Road, was a signal success. The ibeauty of the setting wus one of the prime assets to tha enterprise, the broad lawn,-, and fine shade trees offering everything desira'ble to the pleasing arrangement of the many attractive features which marked the event. During the day hundreds patronized the fete, the tenuis tournament and rifle competition offering two of the constant attractions which occupied the attention of competitor and onlooker alike. Miss Tobhi, assisted by Mrs. Jacobs, Mrs. McLean, and Mrs. Appleby, directed the latter, nnd ■MS.-S (Appleby and Miss Long the former. About the grounds were dotted the gaily-decorated booths in chnrge of various ladies. Bunting, flags, flowers ,and evergreen were effectively employed in the design of the stalls, and the visitor who made a complete round of the attractions hnd his time fully occupied for the afternoon. In the warmer hours of the day the icecream stall in charge of Mrs. Wild- crs, Mrs. Travis, Mrs. Hnrold Whyte, lire. Moore, Mrs. Kenning, Mrs. Thaw and the Misses MacEachern and Helen Macicolm did a brisk business. There was afternoon ten as well, of course, and this was no doubt the most generally patronized department of the fete, scarcely a visitor failing to visit this lection of the grounds during the afternoon. Mrs. Blakemore looked after the linnuciiil end of the undertaking, and directing tlie department generally were Mrs. Doug- Ins Wright, Mrs. Thomson and Hiss Shnw, with a great number of aide assistants: Mesdames Elgee, Logan, Ahlridge, Guy Islington and the Misses Sparks, Cameron, Dennii, Cox, Hodg- ias, Elworthy, Whentley, Monteith, Hudson, Prothero, Bradford, Atkins, Ncroulsos, Rant, Monteith, Elgee, nml Long. Another stall was devoted to tlio sole of candies, which were most nt- triirtivly displayed. Miss Alesher, Mrs. Crompton and Mrs. Burton were in charge, nnd had little di eidty in dispiisin;; of their commodity. "Tiiiicli-nnd-take" wai requisitioned ns a means of passing some of thc leisured minutes of patrons, Mrs. many passersJhy to try tlieir luck. Cordon Smith nnd Mm. Saunders having this department, and iiulusing Tho pastime wns particularly favored hy the younger visitors, who nlso found endless amusement aiming missies at "Aunt Sally." No less than three people mnde it their special duty during the nftornoon to bring about an amiable antagonism between the ancient dnmc and the world in general, netting a handsome little pocketful of dimes from their successful effort''. They were the Misses Cruickshnnk and B, McLeod nnd Master II. Cruickshank. Pretty Dancers The bnnd of the 143rd Battalion was on the grounds nll afternoon, nnd supplied a very generous programme of patriotic mnd popular numbers. Music and tho dunce go well in hand, and it wns quite natural that one of the lending features of the fete should be the latter. A number of pretty maidens gave n charming performance of an old-fashioned miimette, the measures of which were most gracefully stepped hy the Misses Sylvia Appleby, Marjory Powell, Lorna Lewin, Hilda Langton, Polly Shepherd, Margaret and Merrill Chapin, Milliccnt Umbach, Doris Gibson and Bee McFadden. Spirited piping by Miss Wallace, a young musician, who knows well how to operate the Highland instruments, was danced to by little Marjory Spencer, who gave a very lively performance of the Sailor, ;' Hornpipe. Another small dancer was Miss Millicent Umbach, who appeared in a flower-decked nymph dress, and reincarnated ill form and movement this tutelary deity of the classics. The dances were directed by Mrs. Guy Lnngton and Mrs. Appleby, and were watched by a majority of the visitors. Wright Hill was as ireful as he was picturesque in the role of town crier, and through his ngency everyone knew whnt was happening and where. At the close of the afternoon lhe winners of the tennis tournament were Mr. Davies and Mrs. Eickaby iu the mixed doubles and Miss Lnwsou and Misi Neauie in the ladies' doubles. The gate-keeper, Mrs. Dennis Cox, reported very satisfactory receipts, many additional people being present iu the evening to henr the very nice musical programme arranged iby Mrs. Doig. Miss Irene Long and Mrs. Con- yors Bridgewater acted as accompanist- for the following singers, each of whom contributed something distinctive nnd thoroughly enjoyed to the entertainment: Mrs. R. H. Pooley, Miss Lillian Haggerty, Capt. A. E. Craddock, Messrs. J. G, Brown, J. A. Crook and J. L. Gillan. The 143rd Battalion band also assisted with three numbers which were much appreciated. Another feature of the evening programme was a lantern lecture by Howard Chapman, who hnd a number of beautiful slide.-, which he threw on the screen. One of the side-attractions whicli is n never-failing centre of interest was a fortune-telling tent, where Miss Humphreys and Mrs. Rowlands read character from the palm and foretold the future for the curious. Iu the rifle range competition, held oa Saturday afternoon, in connection with the successful garden fete given under the auspices of the Navy League Chapter of the I. 0. D. E. at tlie home of the regent, Mrs. D. Doig, Win Fairfield Rond, the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, with 283 points as tlieir score, won. The team composed of No. 11 Military Division Signalling Corps scored 218 points, and lhe tenni from the 143rd Bnttnlion at Sidney scored 233 points. In lhc Cndet competition the team from the High School, with 340 points In its credit, won from the Esquimalt Cadets, whee score was 314 points. The Victorin City Cndets had 299 points. The committee in chnrge of lhe competition desire to acknowledge its thanks to the following firms for donations: Mr. Stephen Jones, Dominion Hotel, 3 boxes cigars; Shortt Hill & Duncan, a pair of gold cuff' links; Sam Scott & Co., n gold wrist wntch; and F.

E., wish to extend their thanks to all those who so kindly assisted at the Garden Fete on Saturday afternoon in aid of our sailors. Quite a hubbub has been occasioned this week by the ill-advised action of the Dominion Government in liberating some fifty interned Austrians from the camp at Nanaimo, ostensibly for employment in the mine.'-. Admitting that the Colliery Company was short of men and that the Austrians were willing to work, there is still no justification for running counter to public opinion, as well as antagonizing a large body of workingmen. It is only another illustration of tbe ineptitude with which the matter of internment has been treated from the beginning. It was not until the citizens of Viotoria "got busy," formed a strong local committee and petitioned the Government, that Colonel MacPherson wns sent down to investigate. As a result of his visit, internment was for the first time undertaken in earnest, but wns stopped within twenty-four hours iby a wire from Ottawa. If the police authorities had been left alone for a few days, they would have had every alien enemy safe in camp. It is impossible for British Columbia people to understand the surpineneis of the military authorities in this respect. However indifferent Eastern Canadians may be on the subject of internment, there is no indifference in the West. The public wish to have every man under lock and key. Nothing but their strong protest has caused the Government to cancel its own instructions in the present instance, but the whole affair is an evidence of weakness, and reflects strong discredit on whoever was responsible for the liberation of the men. As was very properly pointed out by Mr. William Sloan, there would be difficulty in rounding them up again, and so it has proved. The mere expense of supporting nn alien enemy i,3 nothing compared with the risk which the country runs when he is at large. The Militia Department has never realized this, and it required the stimulus of an aroused public opinion to eompel it to di its duty in every instance. I have been asked several times to call the attention of the police authorities to the manner in which empty houses all over the city are being stripped of everything movable. I venture to sny that there has never been anything like it in the history of Victoria, and yet it is the rarest thing possible to flnd anyone punished for the offence. First, ns to the burglary, for that is just what it is, many of these houses are the property of absentee soldiers, whose wives are living elsewhere. The thievoi know this, and take advantage of the fact. The thefts extend over a length of time, and are evidently the result of mature planning, even lead pipe and brass fittings are frequently cut away and removed, to say nothing of the fittings of doors and windows. Now there is no possible .use for these, nnd most of them must flnd their way to the junk store'. I realize that the police are trying to stop the thieving by getting at the receiver, whicli is a very proper policy, but I think they should nlso try to do more with the nctunl thief. Not only is property removed, but the house is often damaged, the breaking of the window panes is a simple matter, but many instances hnve been brought to my knowledge where doors, mantlepieces and windows have been cut and smashed for sheer wantonness. In spite of the vigilance of the police in other matters, I cannot help but think that in this they are a little slack. They should remember that citizens pay for protection, both for themselves and their property, and they nre not getting it. There is just one other point—that owing to the shoddy furnishings in the way of locks and bolts which are so generally in use now-a-days, it is altogether too easy n matter to enter almost any house. When a door is open, or easily opened, it is a temptation to any mischief- maker or evil-doer to enter. At the same time this does not exonerate the police for neglecting their obvious duty. We hear too little now-a-days of the good old rule of "making an example" of the wrong-doer, and the leniency with which pilferers of fit tings from empty house-; are invariably treated is almost an encouragement. ni I suppose I shall be criticized for discussing trivialities when the fate of a Government, and the future of a Province nre in the balance, but possibly a little diversion will not harm anyone, and I have an excellent example in the case of the Victoria Colonist, which devoted an editorial yeiterday to the settlement of the question whether it is correct to say "Bite off one's nose to spite one's face," or "cut off one's nose to spite one's face." I think the writer might have been much more dellnite in his decision. There are obvious reasons why the latter is the correct form; if for no other reason, because the former is not possible in every case; it would depend entirely on the style of nose. However, I am passing to something of a different character, although still I fear a triviality in the eyes of most people. I refer to the noises which distract one's rest in the city. It is an old topic of mine, and I find that last week the Seattle Argus voiced a protest on the snme subject. Victoria has stood many shocks during the last year ns- two, and will probably have to stand many more, at least I hope so, for as long as the blasting goes on the shocks will continue. But they occur in the day-time and are evidence of industrial activity. It is the "noises that pass in the night" that worry me. The noises made by people who "never go home till morning" and then think it their bounden duty to let all nnd sundry know that they have arrived. Then there are the nerve-racking noises made by the "sweet young thing" who has read of Orpheus, und thinks that she inherits his musical genius. As a rule .?he has just got beyond her scales, and is trying to acquire speed on the '' Maiden's Prayer." This is permissible at any time, except when people want to sleep, but neither it nor rag- lime dancing can be considered conducive to rest. I sometimes wonder what has become of that old-time courtesy which made it good manners to consult the feelings and wishes of other people, and I al-o think that possibly it is one of the good things which will come back to us "after the war," for then I am sure one of the first considerations in the world will be thoughtfulness for others. cc* rtonj&r> AN ENJOYABLE MUSIOALE A highly appreciative audience numbering eighty people was present on Wednesday evening last at an "At Home" given by the faculty of the British (Columbia Academy of Music in its spacious studio. The inusicnle wns given to inaugurate the autumn term of this academy which, under the able direction of its principal, Mr. R. Thomas Steele has become so popular since its opening hot a few months ago. An excellent programme was rendered by several members of the staff, whose offering's were warmly applauded by the enthusiastic nnd appreciative audience. Mrs. Macdonald Fahey, the well (known soprano, sang several selections very sweetly, being ably accompanied by Miss Clayton, who also played the accompaniments for Mr. J. MacMillan Muir, whose powerful rendition of several items was heartily applauded. Professor Gregor Cherninvsky '* clever interpretations of several classical violin pieces were enthusiastically applauded and encores were vigorously demanded—nnd willingly given, Mrs. J. R. Green, one of the professor's pupils, being a most capable accompanist. ' Miss Slorris played several delightful pianoforte solos and proved herself to be an artiste of real merit. The musical closed with the singing of the National Anthem by the artists and the audience. Amongst those invited were: Mrs. Story, Miss Story, Mrs. and the JtTs The Crown Millinery Parlors Announce that they now have ready importations and their own adaptations of EXCLUSIVE and DISTINCTIVE novelties in Parisian Pattern Hats.

Campbell Block (ground floor). A REEL OPPORTUNITY Roumaine Fielding, the international photoplay star, will be seen in person at the Pantages theatre next week in one of the most effective dramatic playlets of the season, entitled, "The Heart of a Man," which is snid to give this sterling actor one of the opportunities of his career. Mr. Fielding's fame as a photoplay actor is world wide. He has forsaken the camera man for a short time as a vacation. Mr. Fielding spent many years with the Lubin Film Company as director, actor, author and business manager, and his experiences would make in teresting reading. He is the type of actor who is never satisfied unless ne is doing something daily towards the perfection of his art. The success of the Lubin films was largely due to the artistic achievements and business nihility of Roumaine Fielding who, it is interesting to recall, won a notable triumph by playing a dual role in tho two reel feature, "The Toll of Fear," some years ago. It wns the only occasion that such a thing had ever been done in motion pictures. Ho wns the author of the play. Mr. Fielding is tnking advantage of his present tour to search for promising material for tlie cast of players for the compnny he will direct as soon ns the studios now building are completed.
