We believe as a people in allowing each person to entertain whatever views he may wiah on all religious questions, and this generous attitude has dorie much towards the advancement of civilisation and the moral elevation of the national character. &o more striking example of this large minded-liberality need be sought for than that which has been given in the recent Euchar- istic Congress in Montreal and the former Congress held in England/ It was a measure of surprise to some of our foreign Roman Catholic friends that distinctly Protestant countries, such as England and Canada, should not only allow, but should show sympathetic interest in the convention. It is one of .the most attractiv# features of Protestantisrii that they insist upon? perfect freedom of .conscience, both towards those who are of like faith and to those ^who differ. ;. :,- 7 ',.../.-) .,/;..w ,,, -;,:,t. ���������...,.. ,k,... .; ��������� ��������� ,.:= ���������������..���������.; 7 7 Theipe is ^an aualoaw������*char*4eriatic iniourpolitwal lite, gen- terallvi a?*eokincr we in^st uponabsolute independenceof church and |at������ta3n*i������ of religion andf polities, this ;pjjn^iple has, not always^; [obtaiti������<T, in" fact.

He took Dart/ hers, at a meeting held last Monday. There was about sixty present nt the meeting, which was repre sentative. It was called to decide upon representatives for the next election, yet objection-vvas taken to the meeting-and that part was leftover. It would appear that the Kitsilano association desired to bring out Aid.

We have'carefully enquired asto this statement and find that none of the owners have any knowledge of a petition at least for two and a half:years back. The name of Mr. W. S. Cameron has been mentioned, and it is understood that upon pressure from a large number of ratepayers, he has decided to allow his name to stand. Mr. Cameron is a progressive young- business man. with ...a-, .due a ppreciation. oi/lhe_ demands of this growing city. He is opposed to the present, engineer ing system and should make a good alderman. Mr. McMaster is also announced as a candidate. Mr. McMaster is a. capable man in every respect, and just the kind of man wanted in the civic arena, Mr. T. P. O'Connor, M. P., arrived in Vancouver on his palatial private ear on Wednesday last. He is making a tour of the States and of Canada, soliciting financial aid from all and sundry for his "Home Rule" campaign, which he states ia nearing a successful eonelngjon. . Mr. O'Connor addressed the Canadian Club and delivered an eloquent oration on his favorite theme. As would be expected, his remarks were interspersed with a great deal of native Irish wit,- which called forth repeated rounds of applause from a sympathetic audienee. . .//���������/.-/' Boiled down to commonplace fact*, the burden of Mr. O'Connor's speech was this: Home rule for England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales,'because of difference in race, in creed and in local land- policies. Underlying all his remarks was evident ���������#rery strong desire to secure for Ireland an established state religion which would be acceptable to most of her citizens. The tenacity with which he clung to this point, and yet the avoidance of any direct statement regarding it, shows clearly that Mr. O'Connor would, when the opportunity is given (if it ever is given) establish a joint secular and religious government/ 7 ���������:���������.���������'���������'."���������'��������� In all other points Mr. O'Conndr seemed to be striving intelligently for the best interests of his isountry and of the-empire. His advocacy of the principle of small ownership of lands or peasant propcrietors, was eloquently and logically presented and with great force. He also exhibited a keen appreciation of the responsibilities of imperialism. His address oh the whole was entertaining and instructive. Vaneouverites who heard him should now have a better idea of the "Home Rule" question and its possible effects. In view of the recent events in Portugal, Spain, Italy and Prance, as a result of too intimate relationship between church and state, it might be well to allow Ireland, to have "Home Rule/' I know of no better way to cure the persistent demand for church and state control than by bitter experience. The Irish are sufficiently pugnacious to throw off a yoke which is too burdensome, and it is certain they would find that the burden of "Home Rule" attached to the skirts of the priesthood would be infinitely more irksome than administration from Westminster Hall. feohtrast to that of his aforcrmentipned colleagues.

TROUBLES. GREAT BRITAIN'S AWFUL CRIME Rev. Marten Smith Delivm Powtrfol Addmt on Opiam TnSte. We print this week the moat complete and forceful declamation of Britain's responsibility for China?a opium curse ,thatj*e feave evefv^en'^/W������ w every Maderib atndy/ii well. Thereh ia no doubt that the responsibility is ours, but we have formed a convenient habit of ignoring it and keeping it in the background. The time has now arrived,for action. What shall we do as a nation! Tbe following resolution was passed at the conclusion of Mr. Smith's address, and will he forwarded to the Imperial authorities: Resolution moved by Thos. Duke, seconded by John Graham, That this meeting at Knox Congregational Church, believing that the growth and manufacture of opium in India for export to China, enforced by appeal to Treaties, is "morally indefensible" a serious hindrance to the influence of Christianity in the East, and that the British name will not be free from reproach nor China be free to purge herself from this evil, so long as this policy ia continued, urges upon His Majesty's Government that without delay (1) China be formally released from Treaty obligations to admit opium; (2) The connection of the Indian Government with the opium export trade be brought to an end; (3) The financial difficulties, created by the cessation of the opium revenue, be met by the British Imperial and Indian Governments, in a way that shall not increase the taxation of the mass of the people in India nor injure the feudatory States concerned. I am not sheading to-night for the establishment of the Millenium, nor even that Britain Bhould adopt the principles of the Gospel in her dealings with China.' - Simply, that we should return to-moral decency from which we strayed over 60 years ago, and that as a government we. should maintain a business virtue as high, at least, as that seTby those whom we} vice of smoking opium was introduced tion of the awfulness of Britain's crime. I must now briefly review the past history ot the trade in opium with China. ' The medicinal use of the' poppy has been known - ln China for 900 years.

The Writ was filed at the court hse here yesterday. The case will be tried at the next sitting of high court.

Among the many stations along the line of the C. P. R., none is more attractive than Hammond. The beautiful townsite is superb. The place is steadily advancing in enterprise and improvements. Edward W. Powell handles Hammond real estate. He is a substantial citizen of the new rising town and a keenly intelligent gentleman to meet. He was a farmer in Manitoba for 20 years. He bandies dairy and fruit farms, market gardens, ranches, etc. Jehn Cutltr supplies the citizens of Hammond with choice steaks, juicy roasts, and tender chops. the poppy and the sale of opium in British India, except that they should at the same time take measures to arrest the transit of Malwa opium through British territory." On May 30th, 1906, the following resolution carried unanimously: ^ "That this House re-affirms its conviction that the Indo-Chinese opium traffic is morally indefensible, and requests His Majesty's Government to take such steps as may be necessary for bringing it to a speedy close." And on May 6th, 1908, two years later, another ringing resolution was again carried, without a dissentient voice: "That this House, having regard to its resolution unanimously adopted on 30th May, 1906, that, the Indo-Chinese opium trade is morally indefensible, welcomes the action of His Majesty's Government diminishing the sale of opium for export, and thus responding to the action of the Chinese Government in tlieir arrangement for tho sup. prossion of the consumption of the drug in that empire, and this House this time onward the sale of opium for purposes of smoking became a criminal offense. In 1729 the arrival of foreign opium in China was only 200 chests. This in- creased, in spite of the edict, to 1,000 chests in 1767, and to 4,000 chests in 1790, passing the customs, doubtless, as medicine, ln 1796 an edict, formally prohibiting the importation of all opium was issued, and in 1800 this edict wasi issued:anew. " ^ "~^ Britain's responsibility for the Ben- galese opium trade with.China began in 1773, when Warren Hastings, finding it a private and profitable monopoly, took it over as a good source of revenue for the East India Company. Warren Hastings' declaration as to opium was: "Opium is not a necessary of life, but a pernicious article of luxury, which ought not to be permitted except for purposes of foreign commerce only, and which the wisdom of the government should carefully restrain from internal consumption.-' The policy of this man, then, was to restrain the consumption of this drug A. L. Lazenby is the popular postmaster of Hammond, J. P.. notary public and conveyancer. He has operated in these lines for nearly 20 years. For several years he was a merchant in .the .town, and has Officiated as Clerk of the Municipality and Collector.

ThuR;that Warren Hastings was tho most has Great Britain, through her Parlia-; successful and vigorous administrator ment, thrice arraigned herself before! India ever had. He greatly increased the whole world as guilty of a sin. Britain's power and prestige. He against God and a crime against man;amassed an enormous fortune for in this matter of the opium traffic. Crime is a harsh word. It is not mine. On December 3rd. 1S42. the London Times, only, in a leading article, delivered itself as follows: "We think it of the highest moment tlint ihe Government of Great Britain should wash its hands once and for all. not only of all diplomatic, but of all moral and practical responsibility for this (the opium) traffic; that we should cease to be mixed up with it, to foster it, or to make it a source of Indian revenue. . . . We owe some moral compensation to China for pillaging her towns and slaughtering her citizens, in a quarrel which never couid have arisen if we had not been guilty of'-tkhi national ���������crime:" That was written St years ago. Ia order tnat we may nava those days. He left turbulent India in profound peace and was received home with marked favor. But Warren Hast- ings ere long was hurled from his pinnacle. Impeached before the House of Lords, ruined by a trial that dragged through seven years, and although acquitted befoie man, he stands guilty before God of inaugurating a policy that has meant a century of shameful procedure by Great Britain. The Chinese edicts of 1796 and 1800 brought the trade in opium down to 2,000 chests. It quickly revived again, however, until in 1820 It reached 5,000 chests. As early as 1782 remonstrances had come to the British East India Company from their oflcials at Canton, deprecating the trade, in view ef jti being prohibited by Chlaa.

M- H. COWAN. o" Vancouver, B. C���������With the success of tne first Canadian National Apple Show from an exhibition standpoint now assured there is every indication of a large attendance of visitors from the entire Province and even through - out the Dominion. '- The engagement of the 48th Highlanders' Military Band, a leading band-of Canada and one of the world's best musical organizations, has added very much to the attractions of the Big Show. The -18th Highlanders' Band wftich has never been west of the Rockies will play twelve concerts, two daily, with an entire change of program at each performance. The management beiieves that every obstacle to the success of the big un - dertaking lias now been removed by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company granting a one way first class tare for the round trip from all points in the Dominion of Canada, and in addition to that have granted selling dates in advance of the regular selling dates to the publie for the benefit of the exhibitors, thus giving to all exhibitors the-same privileges granted to the public. Exhibitors' tickets will be sold the certificate plan. The dates selling for British Columbia,. Alberta and Saskatchewan being Friday Octo - ber 21st to Saturday October 29th. Any exhibitor desiring the advantage of the one fare round trip rate must notify the secretary of the "Canadian National Apple Show who will furnish him with a certificate. This certificate on being presented to the^n&irest CI P. R. ticket, agent will entitle the holder to a ticket to Vancouver and return at lowest one way first class fare.

'<There may be defects in the bills, no doubt there are. for. no human action is perfect; but it must be confessed that no better plans have been suggested so far and that some of the ablest physicians and lawyers have given the subject very serious consideration. The accused uikI prosecutor can employ all the experts they desire :to help in the conduct of the case, but such men will now br openly acknowledged as hired partizans who ran not occupy the witness chair. "The proposed laws exclude the partisan expert and. as the court is not presumed to know who are com - petent, confine the choice to a list supplied by a reputable body, say a local medical society in the case of medical cases. An engineering or chemical society should similarly nominate experts for their particular lines. To eliminate the dangers of officialism and the exclusion of experts from abroad or of new men not yet recognized as expert, there should be provision for the court calling any man jointly requested by the defense and prosecution if it so desires. We presume this will come in time���������if not already provided for in twenty states now studying the matter: but even If then* is no such provision, it is ho ground for opposition, as the measures are so infinitely superior to the pres - ent horrors that every^oine should der, mand the early enactment of the bills.

But Otto grabbed the auto as the auto autoed by, Then Qtto and the auto down the street did fly; And at a speed that auto the luckless Otto whirled Like an automobile autocrat who thinks he owns the world; While the auto-hating public stood and watched the auto rash Till it ran against a lamp-post with a most terrific crash; Then they sadly laid poor Ctto, who has lost his auto zest, Where the autos cease from troubling and the Ottos are at rest.

Sir George Stanton, British repre sentative at Canton at the time, was certainly well qualified to judge. His declaration in parliament, April 14th, 1843, as to the cause of this war is clear and emphatic: a trading sta-i "I have never denied the fact that if ed the establishment of tion in the eastern islands, whence it, there had been no opium smuggling, might find its way to'Chi-.ia "without there would have'been no war.

Notice, these licenses were to be cancelled if any other than the Company's opium was taken on board. The opium fleet, sailing from Calcutta, were some of the finest cutters ish East India Company to promote the growth which almost quadrupled the supply, I believe it never would have created that extraordinary alarm in the Chinese authorities, which betrayed them into the adoption of a sort of "coup.-'d'Etal" for. its. suppression.

The policy of the Company as regards the use of opium in India was restrictive. Their instructions to their collectors in India were "to discourage to the utmost the sale and consumption of the drug except for medicinal purposes." Their disclaimer in parliament of the year 1831 has become famous: "Were it possible to prevent the use of the drug altogether, except strictly -for purposes of medicine, we would gladly do so in com- In spite of a supplementary treaty, signed a year later, wherein we pledged ourselves to discourage smuggling, Hong Kong speedily became a huge opium warehouse. An ordinance was passed permitting Chinese boats to fly the British flags/which led up eventually to the second war. The Indian government continued the export of opium, prepared for Chinese use, the number of chests rising from 30,00 in 1830 to 75,000 in IS'.S.

Thus was China's resistance broken by two cruel wars, the injustice of which is now at length coming to be- generally recognized as an awful blct upon British history. Worse still, the guilt of the second war is peculiarly a national one, for Lord Palmerston, defeated in parliament, on the ground of its injustice,'appealed- to the country, l\ and being sustained, carried it to a. conclusion. The treaty of Tientsin remains' in' force to-day and is still being used in tying China's hands in. her brave, her un parallelled struggle with-a national vice. The treaty of Tientsin was rati- -| fied at Pekin two years later after a third brief war, in which the French joined us. The events preceding this latest war I would rather not relate, they are full of horrors. Lord Elgin, who conducted the second war with China, wrote thus at the time, December 22, 1857: "When we steamed up to Canton and saw the rich alluvial banks covered with luxuriant evidences of unrivalled industry and natural fertility. . . ��������� I thought bitterly of those, who for the most selfish objects, are trampling un. derfoot this ancient civilization."

"But the officials and peopte of this Empire, who cannot be so comp.etely ! informed on the subject, all say that England trades in opium because she desires to work China's ruin; for (say lency, the British Minister, referred j they) if. the friendly feelings of Eng- the opium trade as being preju-: land are genuine, since it is open to ial to the general interests of com-j her to produce and trade ��������� everything rce. The object, of the treaties be- fen our respective countries was to 'jure perpetual peace; but if effective |-ps cannot be taken to remove an Cumulating sense of injury from the 'ads of men, it is to be feared that policy can obviate sources of fu- e trouble.

"There are those who say, 'Stop the trade by enforcing a vigorous prohi- ! bition against the use of the drug.' China has the risrht to do so. doubtless, and might be able to effect it; but a strict enforcement of the prohibition would necessitate tbe taking of many lives. Now, although the criminals' punishment would be of their] stamp out the Import trade and then, own seeking, bystanders would not fail after that bad been accomplished, to to ear that-it ini tbe fof*i������������ mer- prohibit tbe production of opium chani seduced them to their ruin byf brining the drug, and it would be hard ' io mevent general and deep-seated; indignation.. Such a course, indeed j would tend to arouse popular .angeri against the foreigner. "There are others, again, who suggest the removal of the prohibitions against the growth of the poppy. They argue that, as there is no means of stopping the foreign (opium) trade, there can be no harm as a temporary measure in withdrawing the prohibition on its growth. We should thus, not only deprive the foreign merchant of a main source of his profits, but should increase our revenue to boot. The soverign rights of China are, indeed, competent to this. Such a course would be practicable; and, indeed, the writers cannot say that, as a last resource, it will not come to this; but they are most unwilling that such prohibition should be removed, holding, as they do, tbat a right system of government should appreciate the beneficence of heaven, and seek to remove any grievance which afflicts its people, while to allow them to go on to destruction, although an Increase of revenue may result, will provoke tbe judgment of Heaven and the condemnation of men. "Neither of the above plans, Indeed, are satisfactory. If it be desired to remove the very root, and to stop the evil at its source, nothing will be effective-but a prohibition, to be enforced alike by both parties. 7 "Again, the Chinese merchant supplies your country with his goodly tea and silk, conferring thereby a benefit upon her; but the. Eng'ish merchant empoisons China with pestilent opium. Such conduct is unrighteous. Who-caii Justify it? What wonder If officials and people say that England is wilfully working out China's ruin, and has no real friendly feeling for her? The wealth and generosity of England are spoken by all; she (s anxious to prevent and anticipate all Injury to her commercial Interests. How is it, then, she can hesitate to remove an acknowl- sdged evil? Indeed, It cannot be that England still holds to this evil business, earning the hatred of the officials 'nd people of China, and making ber- elf a reproach among the nations, bemuse she ''would lose a little revenue vere Bhe to forfeit the cultivation of ���������the poppyVk I \ \-k ). .. ���������: 7;,.

"This matter Is injurious to com- ���������nerclal interest in no ordinary degree. f His Excellency tbe British Minister cannot, before it Is too late, arrange i plan tor a Joint prohibition (of the 'raffle), then no matter with what de- otedness the writers may plead, they may be unable to cause the people to ut aside f!l-feeling, -and so sirengthen rlendly relations as to place them for ?!ver beyond fear of disturbance..

Having ^hus presumed to unbosom themselves, Miey would be honored by His Excellency's reply." This appeal by the Chinese Government was sent home to the British lovernment by Sir R. Alcock, accompanied by a confidential despatch, fully endorsing the Chinese apepal. Tho following is an extract from that official letter: "He had no doubt that abhorrence expressed by the Government and peo. pie ot China for opium as destructive to the Chinese nation, was genuine and deep-seated; and that he was also quite convinced that the Chinese Government could, if it pleased, ���������cany out its threat of developing cultivation to any extent. On the other hand, he believed that so strong was the popular feeling on the subject, that if Britain would give up the opium revenue, and suppress the cultivation in India, the Chinese: Government, would have no difficulty in suppressing it in China, except in the Province of Yunnan where its authority is in abeyance." Such then, was the appeal addressed to Great Britain by the Chinese Government and backed by our own representative. After many months of waiting and repeated applications for an answer. Sir R. Alcock was at length compelled to say to the Chenise cabinet that there was no response, and that none need be expected. Then began the .last awful lap in the degradation of a whole nation. China, despairing of getting any relief from Britain, launched into the most extensive cultivation of the poppy, producing opium at a much cheaper rate tban could be done in India.

The coming final judgment in the eternal sphere Is necessarily of individuals. A nation has its hirth. childhood, youth, manhood and maturity in this present world. Proportioned to its establishment in justice and righteousness will be its real strength. worth and continuance. The endorsement of Injustice, slavery and iniquity by any nation, will secure its chastisement, hasten its judgment, and precipitate its final overthrow. It is but a question of time and of the Divine forbearance. The history and final passing away of Babylon, Egypt, Greece and Rome are illustrations and profs that the judgment or nations and empires takes place In this world. God is calling on Great Britain to repent and pay the price of her hellish a decree for the doing away with "the poison of foreign and native opium within the pt.-riod of ten years." That decree wa������ dated September 30. 1906. and was followed on November 22nd by the i/ic-st drastic regulations for carrying of 'his policy into effect. After some negotiations the British and Indian governments concurred in the ten-year arrangement proposed by China, to date from January 1st, 1908. Reckoning on tlie basis of 51,000 chests, our average export to China for five years, we agreed to reduce that amount by 5,100 chests each year. This reduction after 1910; two years' trial was made to be conditional upon China being able to prove that she hid carried out her part of the arrangement.

He must take orders from the new religious tyranny that is Roosevelt may be a noisy agitator, but he is also something of a man. The following' incident is characteristic of the man. He seems to be honest in spite of his brusqueness, the "Literary Digest" relates the following : In striking contrast to Mr. Roose - DRUNK ON DUTY Surely in self-deiense, citizens will ultimately be driven to suppress all liquor selling for beverage purposes, in view of the tearful peril in which, under the responsibilities of modern civilization, men who drink may put the lives of others.

He will tolerate no Irish bishop in Ontario that will not take orders from Mont - real and come into the bilingual game. Nor wiH Mr. Bourassa tolerate If he can help It, any bishop for Ottawa that is not a French-Canadian. He says the promotion of the Archbishop of Kingston to the See of Ottawa is a. mistake. Bourassa would like a cardinal head at Montreal, who would rule the whole church In Canada asya political solidarity. According to Bourassa, French - Canadians must have bishops of their race, must have bi-Iingual schools In every quarter of Canada, and especially in Ontario, and that the7only true churchmen are of his nationality. It would follow from his argument that a French-Canadian cannot be satisfied with any Prime Minister that is not of his race, or, at the very least, that the French-Canadians' are entitled to a bi-llngnal Premiership. He's bent on a double national front to everything. TWe are doing Mr. Bourassa no in- :ustice if we say that he regards the mission of his race as to crowd the English out of Quebec, and to recover Ontario. .The French ?

We Imagine there are Catholics, and many English'������������������- speaking-..ones,-; that would prefer to see the English tongue prevail in this province, and that the public funds be not used to split Canada into a country of two nations at every point of the line. And we cannot deny Mr. Bourassa'a ambition If he can attain it. He will do it if the others jet him. And he hopes to do "it by the creation of a great political solidarity under spiritual direction. ,=���������The^Wqrld trusts. that Jhe^ Catholics of Ontario wiil stand by the Bishop of London against this new tyranny - in Montreal. The people of this Province have swallowed a lot, and may have to swallow a lot more. But there must be a limit. The more the Girouard, Anglin, Marcil incidents are examined, the more one reads Mr. Bourassa's deliv - erances, one Is forced to the conclusion that he is for the submission of the State to the Church, and for the ���������creation of a solidarity in the votes of ���������one faith that will be worked at every" turn for concessions. We carefully guard against saying that our fellow countrymen who are Roman Catholics all hold this view, but that'3 what Bourassa holds, and he is busy on the job. Such a political solidarity in collusion with some of the great corporations in this country would forever stop all political and other progress in Canada. The World trusts that the Bishop of London wil! rule his own diocese as they think best, not as Mr. Bourassa, dictates. And the supreme authority at Rome might have a care as to creating any spiritual supremacy in Montreal that may he used as a political solidarity to suit the designs of those who are for the subjection of the State to the Church, and whose sole ambition is to dispossess English- speaking people of Ontario, and to make a wreck of the political freedom that has been established here at so great a cost.
