British Columbia, OCT. 28 1916. mm^m. No. 25 LICENSE VICTUALERS BECOMING ALARMED Their Own Press Admit Danger ��������� Desparate Efforts i To Hold Public Opinion. The continual cry that is.heard abroad in the land that "local ���������option" and "prohibition" only increases the amount of liquor consumed, is so palpably false that it is scarcely worthy of comment, but so persistent has this cry become and so assiduously are the license victuaiers circulating it that it is actually arousing the apprehension of some timid souls. ^ It only requires a moment's thought.to convince any level-, leaded person that the fear is groundless, for, if it were so, the ilceijs*> vietualer would be holding a jubilee, instead of working day and night to defeat temperance legislation. V The following is an extract from Mr. T. M. Gilmore's stateT ment in the Bonfort Wine and Spirit Circular. New York. The article is headed: "Can the Liquor Bunnell be Successfully Defended Before the Bar of Public Sentiment?": "The big majority in the recent Tennessee election^ given to the Republican and against the regular Democratic nominees was ;������n echo of the State-wide prohibition fight and of the killing of Carmack, and whether we like it o\\ not, it must be accepted as a further protest of the people of Tennessee against the liquor traffic, as the people of Tennessee know, or think they know, that traffic. A "In Texas we find a very large majority polled in favor pf submitting a constitutional amendment prohibiting the manufacture and sale of liquors, to a vote of the people. "In Missouri, in obedience to a demand from the people, a fight is on to amend the constitution and prohibit the liquor business. "In Florida a similar .fight is being waged and in several other States, like Nebraska, the liquor question is the leading question in politics. y-.7 ������������������������������������ ..'.. - k k> , ::7-:" "To the States where the liquor traffic is being, attacked by ���������well-organized movements must be added the States, like Oklahoma, Georgia. Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, and North Carolina, where it has been outlawed, Jf <we would realize how tremendous is the movement and how vast tne forces iswom to the destruction of every brewery and distillery in America. i "The situation is a grave one, and it demands the attention -of the men who have hundreds of millions invested in breweries, ���������distilleries, wineries, and in stocks of liquors. It is a situation that demands the holiest statesmanship and generalship. It raises the ���������question as to why we have lost so many States and why we have so many fierce contests in other States. "It raises the question as to whether"our cause as a trade is incompetent or in incompetent, hands, or whether it can be possible that the liquor trade is-so disreputable that it can not be sue- [ cessfully defended before the bar of public sentiment." Evidently rejecting the latter alternative, this writer then urges the liquor interests to fight the Anti-Saloon League and the Prohibitionists by defending the trade "in the open," "to meet the people and the press on a common platform and work for laws hthat will really regulate the. saloon-���������laws under which the saloon- I keeper could' not afford to violate law or disregard public sentiment." For, "the liquor trade can be successfully defended, but not along gumshoe lines, nor by methods that will not stand the widest publicity and the greatest possible light." THE GUH)E-BOOK FOR PARISH VISITORS. . ��������� (Collier's.) "Oh, no, Mr. So-and-So doesn't do any parish visiting. He lets his assistant do all that." In other words, the fashionable .preacher saves himself for the Sunday sermon and hands the human pkindness part of tlie job over to a subordinate. Similes take a. deal of thinking; metaphors lieed adjusting; sentences need filing; ap- iposite learning must be displayed to the best advantage; quotations [must be verified; just enough of the higher criticism of doubt and negation must be introduced to show that the preacher is not behind nthe times; the finished performance must prove what a fine scholar and literary genius is content humbly to serve God twice a day on Sunday, fifty-two times a year. The result is a brilliant sermon, [the elegance and polish of which shows every day's work of the Lsix that were spent on it, a sermon deep enough to tickle every Fhighbrow and wide enough to please every general hearer in the ['well-fed. well-dressed, well-behaved congregation. But a good ser- Imon! There's the rub! What is there in it for those7 whom sin or [sorrow or sickness or death has touched ? What can there be in it but husks? How can a preacher reach hearts who does not go out and look for hearts in the places where hearts reveal them- Iselves? In some bitterness, for he was a fashionable preacher him- [self. Dean Swift advised a young clergyman to read the Bible, if [for nothing else, as a literary work. The poor, soured Dean knew dl that he had missed by not treating it as a human document, full [of wisdom and solace poured out from bruised souls. The Bible was not written by preachers who neglected their parish visiting. The proper study of mankind, preachers included, is man. The iible is something more than a compendium of texts around which lessays majr be built. It is the parish visitor's guide-book. OPIUM TRAFFIC. Canada has done much to suppress the opium habit within her Ewn borders, but not so much to assist the Chinese.in eradicating fhe curse from their own country. The mass meeting held this Iveek in Vancouver is indicative of an awakening public conscience. IvVe, as a nation, must recognize and accept the responsibility of the perpetuation of the traffic in China. The Imperial Parliament may, py consenting to the abrogation of the "Opium Treaty,'' relieve that jiation of the chief cause of this curse which oppresses the nation Ike a great blight. All China asks is that her hands be free to fvork out the problem as it presents itself. Surely this is fair. We jan by our own moral support assist in this work, and those who fvere responsible for the public meeting this week in this cause Ihould secure the heartiest support for their highly commendable kction. Crisis in History of Municipality of South Vancouver- Citizens' Grave Responsibility. During the past two years South Vancouver has grown at a greater ratio, perhaps, than, any other section of the lower mainland. It has risen from the position of a vast wilderness with a few scattered residents, to a municipality with about 30,000 inhabitants and several thickly settled districts. That section known^as Cedar Cottage is about the best example there is of rapid and substantial growth; This district, which was served a few years ago with a small two-roomed school, now has sixteen rooms and these are overcrowded. The council whieh has administered the affairs of this municipality during the past two or three years has had a very difficult task, owing to the very rapid expansion and of the handicap necessarily imposed on an administration laboring under the "Municipal Clauses Act." In fact, the situation has become so serious that the adoption of one of two courses is imperative, viz., annexation to the City of Vancouver or incorporation as a city. There is a difference of opinion as to which is the wiser course and it behooves every citizen of South Vancouver to carefully study the situation and bend every possible effort to the solution of this most intricate problem. The present Council and the Board of Trade seem inclined to favor early incorporation, and to their credit it must be admitted there is considerable sound argument in wbat they advance as their reasons, but it is an open question if it would not be to the ultimtae benefit of the municipality to annex, rather than incorporate. Briefly, the situation.stands thus: The whole district is growing with amazing rapidity. The need of sewerage is absolutely imperative. Park sites should be obtained now before they get too expensive. Fireballs are essential to the safety of the community. Public works, too numerous to mention, are in great demand���������-but none of these can be obtained tinder existing regulations under the Municipal Clauses Act, except by. ^complyingiwitb conditions which are practicaUy'.jii^ something should be done. 77 <��������� ;,7 The question to be decided is, which is most likely to be the permanent advantage of the community, annexation of incorporation? Annexation would solve the difficulty of public works such as "water:" there is no better water system in the world than Vancouver's; also "sewerage," the large portion of the sewerage must drain through the city, hence the wisdom of joint action. Then the tram franchises should be adjusted with those of the eity, annexation is the only solution of that. The fire department of the city is the envy of a continent and without a peer; this could easily be extended to South Vancouver. It would cost the municipality a large sum of money and a great loss of time to build up an official administration which could handle such matters as have been briefly outlined, whereas by annexation the machinery of government already in existence in Vancouver could be extended to South Vancouver at vefry little increased general cost. There is one objection to annexation which bothers some very much, viz., the uncertainty whieh surrounds the scheme. How long' will it take? The answer to that question is, that if the residents pf South Vancouyer'will accept reasonable terms and actively prosecute the. work of preparation, it need not take more than six fnohths. :"" ��������� '"'. "'" ~ " "' ~ " In support, of incorporation it is urged that within two months incorporation can be made a fact and then the council could proceed to instal sewers and do other public works which are so necessary. This is true, providing you have the administrative machinery and complete plans for your work, otherwise the delay wouid be equally as long as to await annexation. Then; further, incorporation will never solve your tram question, it will not give you the best of water systems, it will not completely solve the sewer problem, nor will it necessarily give you a fire protection equal to that in the city. Tn short, it will give perhaps temporary relief in some things, but permanent relief iu none. There will still remain the inevitable influences, such as will always obtain in communities so closely identified as Vancouver and South Vancouver, drawing the two districts together. All thinking persons admit that the time must come -.when this whole community will be under one civic government, and when can this be done to belter advantage than 'now'. Time will, only increase the difficulties and the cost. It is up to the people of South Vancouver to say which, annexation or incorporation. "KNOCKS" PORTLAND CANAL. The report of Provincial Mineralogist W. Fleet Robinson regarding Portland Canal District is about as misleading as it possibly could be. He tells us "there is only one property that one can. pretend to call a mine. This is the property of the Portland Canal Mining Company, who are shipping, etc." Every one who is in the slightest touch with Portland Canal knows this. No one claims that there������are any number of shipping mines, nor does any one claim that the camp has been proven, but the people.of British Columbia do not pay Mr. Robinson a high salary as Provincial 3Iineralogist to tell us what mines are shipping and which are not. Any office boy could do that. What we want-to know from our Provincial Mineralogist is, .What is the nature of,, the. country which is attracting world-wide attention? What are its prospects of becoming a mining camp? It were almost safe to say that the worthy scientist (?) was either totally blinded by a prejudice in favor of the company named, or else he does not know his business. One would almost think the gentleman was making a special report for this highly favored company. Or is it an advertising scheme? Or, we tremble to suggest it. has the News-Advertiser misquoted the' gentleman ? No; this cannot be so. as we note it was a "special cable," etc. In any case, the report as given is a slander on the camp and a disgrace to the official, as far as impartiality and professional report goes. PORTUGAL'S REVOLUTION WAS A BID FOR FREEDOM Church Control of Government Abolished���������Clergy is Blamed For Revolution. * This most significant revolution has been accomplished with but little bloodshed and in a remarkably short space of time. From reports which from time to time come to hand it would appear that the chief struggle was not so much between the "Democracy" and the,-" Royalty "as between the "lay" and the "clergy." It is quite safe to say that had Portugal been under a monarchy which was purely secular in its administration there would -have been no revolution at this time. But the undue influence of the clergy over the administration, and the manifest injustice of supporting a large unmber of nonproductive religious orders, impelled the people to shake off these shackles and banish the parasites from the country.. The provisional government of the new Republic have issued a decree banishing all members of the Royal family and abolishing all titles and orders of nobility. Large numbers of nuns and priests have also been deported, and many state offices which hitherto has been administered by the priests will in future be handled entirely by state officials. The church will no more have any voice in the state management. This sweeping reform has been worked in the course of a Week or two and is a striking example' of the utter futility of any form of government whieh combine state and church. There are those in Canada and in Ireland who would reinstate the old order of church and state control, but they would do well to contemplate this revolt in Portugal and the agitation in Spain, because this is the sure fate of any such form of government. B .0. TELEPHONE GO. BRING Of SPECIAL PLEADER. Mr. Allen has been brought to Vancouver ostensibly to advise the B. C. Telephone Co how to improve its plant, but really to assist the local company to defeat any effort on the .part of any Other company to secure a second franchise or the city to enter into the business, or in other words toirelp the local company over the crisis. In speaking of anything in connection with the Bell Telephone Trust he always said "we." In speaking of the B.(C.-Telephone Co. he also said, "we," so it is safe to say that he represented the Bell Telephone Trust, and that the local company is closely identified with said Trust He addressed the committee of the. Council -on Wednesday evening for over an hour and a half, and the burden of his whole speech was an argument against a dual telephone system and a eulogy of the local company, which he said was so thoroughly up-to-date that it greatly surprised him. In an unguarded moment, though, he stated the local company "were not giving good service." Several letters were read from cities using the automatic, which claimed it was very satisfactory, but in spite of this Mr. Allen, the Bell Trust representative, said the automatic was impracticable and had never been a success. The local company are simply drawing a red herring (we hope Mr. Allen will not be offended) across the trail by adopting these methods. They are seeking to lull the people into indifference by a flood of plausible stories and a mass of expert (?) opinion. The only way to get reasonable'treatment from this company is to keep pressing them for the relief whieh is necessary. We wanLlow^ by the city. .... SKYSCRAPERS. Aid. Hepburn introduced.a motion at the last council meeting to authorize a plebiscite to be taken at the next general election as to limiting the heighth of buildings to ten stories or 120 feet. This was voted down on the casting vote of the Mayor. It came as a surprise to most that the Mayor, who claims to be "the people's champion." should refuse to allow a question of such vital general interest to be submitted to the public for an expression of opinion. Thi.s question was brought up .earlier in the year by Aid. Stevens, but was defeated, and it was thought that as it affected the interest of the whole eity and was a matter of general policy, that it would be advisable to have a test of public opinion, but this end was defeated by the above unexpected action. HOTEL RESPONSIBILITY FOR CRIME Last week in London. Qui., a man was tried for murder. ,-ind found guilty. The only redeeming feature about the case was that the man was so drunk when he committed the crime that he was ignorant of what he was doing. On this the jury founded a plea for mercy. The judge sentenced him to three years in the penitentiary. The evidence showed that the accused had been drinking to excess, and that liquor had been freely frunished to him when he was already greatly under its influence. In the judffe's charire he commented "upon thi.s fact in the following words: "The punishment I shall pass shall be partly as a wurning to others, a warning to ihe hotel-keepers as to the responsibility tbat rests with them. No hotel proprietor should-he allowed to'retain bis license when it has been shown that he supplied drunken men with liquor." And yet there is no reasonable doubt, we suppose, that the hotel- keeper who supplied this man with liquor which sent him out, maddened and irresponsible, to shoot down an innocent7 woman whom he did not even know, still holds a lieense to sell liqiioi-. and probably will still sell as he did before to drunken men. Is he the only offender? And who pays for it all? Who pays for the costly trial. for the judge and the jury? and for the penitentiary. With its costly system of guards, etc. ? 'The temperance people pay most of it. "Leave us alone." the hotel men cry sometimes to their temperance opponents; "we are not hurting you." And yet the traffic helped to slay in cold blood the poor woman referred to. Is it any wonder that thinking men loathe and hate the traffic? What'has it ever done which ought to save it from annihilation? We confess we know of nothing.���������Guardian. p THE WESTERN CAt,L, VANCOUVER.

Annual Convention was held at Eburne on' E^riday 14th inst., in the Methodist, church. The missionary f.eal of the ladies was certainly tested by the heavy downpour of rain, but it stood the test, for over/70 ladies were congregated at the depot and soon after the chartered car was filled beyond its capacity as the smiling stragglers were taken on at the various stopping points. Afraid ot* rain! Not a bit of it. Our women are made of such stuff as missionaries are made of. Why! they can face bears or bugbears if occasion demands. Arrived at the church the convention came to order in a business like manner, and if it was raining without there was sunshine within and under the genial i leadership of our esteemed Organizer we entered immediately into the spirit of the great cause. The session was opened appropriately with devotional exercises and then the regular order of business followed. The reports from the various auxiliaries were most encouraging and almost without exception showed signs of progress. The newest and youngest auxilliary, North Vancouver, which has doubled its membership in two weeks was especially mentioned and worthily so. The papers given on missionary work werethoughtful and practical. The missionary object lesson of Chinese and Japanese girls who sang so nicely in English was quite touching. Also the report read by one of the members of the Chinese Mission Circle was a unique feature. The presence of so many of our young ladies, with their intelligent interest in the. missionary enterprise augers well for the future of the W. M. S., and to Last month in London, England, a great suffrage parade took place and prominent amongst them, was to be seen, the striking figure of that remarkable woman, "Rev. Anna H. Shaw" of America. Indicative of the spirit existing between the great sisterhood, her reception was cheering in the extreme; everywhere she was greeted with warm applause, especially when she' ascended the platform, and holding the stars and stripes aloft said:���������"In 1776 the parliament of King George the Third turned deaf ears to the demand of the British Subjects who insisted that taxati<% and re pre - sentation are inseparable. This flag then sprang into being. Will the Parliament of 1910 under King George the Fifth force another rebellion, before it learns that lesson as applied to women? The women of Great Brit - ain are loyal subjects, but when any form of tyranny oppresses the women of the twentieth century, they too know how to rebel, and if they do, the Englishmen must lay the blame where it belongs, not on'the women, but upon their own Parliament.

The shortage in the U. S.

At the present moment Australia has the chance of her lifetime to place the frozen meat trade in such a position as will enable it to take full advantage of the setbacks that are being experienced in the U.

Working Ixpenses increased by ������413,612, so that the net earnings were 1113,656 greater, at a total of ������2,411.287. The miles of railway \ovr opened amounted to 3643. an increase of 19% miles on the 1909 figures, and the passengers carried numbered 53.644.271, an increase of 1,592,715. The tramway passengers( carried numbered 601,151,021. The "capital expended on railways now amounts to ������48,925,325, and on tramways to ������4.668.797. the net revenues amount- g to ������2,209.306 and ������201,981 respectively, and after paying interest In capital the combined surplus amounts to ������568.167 in.support T?������ the general revenues of the State, an improvement of just over ������100,000 on the returns for 1909. It is a matter of congratulation (hat" there were no fatal accidents to. passengers during the year, either oh thei railwaysi or "tramways:During the-last seven years, ie passenger traffic has increased by 65.65 per cent., and the goods (nd live stock traffic by 59.08 per cent. This is a splendid argument in favor of Government ownership If Railways. Out of a total of 254.795.292 passengers carried there as not been a single person killed. This is a record that should lake Canadian people study our own systems a little more closely. Another Good Feature. The New South "Wales Railway Superanuation Bill has passed pe third reading of the House, and will be dealt with by the Council iortly. It provides pensions on a liberal scale to some 29.000 [uilway employees, who are to contribute l1/-* per cent, of their paries to a fund. "Mr: Trivett estimates that it will not cost the tate more than ������15.000 or ������20.000 per annum to keep the fund loing, though writers in the Press are of the opinion that the call V the Government will be much greater. IRISH AWAKENING. Sixty years ago. according to "Sinn Fein." Ireland had nearly |x and a half million Roman Catholics, while today she has little jiore than three millions, and the rate of decrease has been steadily counting for the last twenty-six years. The Roman Catholic pop- latioit of Ireland is now decreasing at the rate of 32.700 per allium, and the writer (a Roman Catholic) asserts that in 1974. un- jss some means be found of checking the exodus, the Roman Cath- lics in Ireland will be outnumbered by the Protestants |int Ireland would even seem to be a possibility. THE ANTJ-BBITISH DISEASE. (Standard of-Empire.) Great progress has been made of late in checking the ravages of a number of fell diseases. But little seems to have been accomplished with regard to that peculiarly offensive and malignant mental disorder which we have called the Anti-British disease. In foreigners the symptoms may be lightly dismissed, of course, '"hey represent idiosyncrasy rather than disease. But in British subjects they stand for a very. pestilential and degrading disease indeed. Never a week passes but news reaches us of some outbreak of the. pest. It is. of course, comforting to find that the most virulent attacks of the malady seem to he confined to old victims, and that fact really does suggest the desirability of some kind of an isolation system being enforced, since we have evidence that, iu certain stages, at all events, this pest is contagious. One has heard of radical cures effected in curious ways by chance. Globe-trotters far gone in the Anti-British disease have been captured by predatory tribesmen on India's North-West-Frontier" and on the banks of the Upper_ Nile. .Occasionally Iheyhav^ subsequent appearance in the world of civilization, and candor compels the admission that they never have been missed. But report says that in those cases in which these poo������ sufferers have been rescued, it has invariably been found that their experience has purged their respective systems of every trace of the Anti-British disease, completely and for ever. There is no record of any subsequent relapse in such cases, so far as we know. This treatment is drastic, of course, and not easy to obtain; yet. bearing in mind its marvellous results, one thinks with sympathetic longing of such dreadful and long-standing cases as those of Mr. Keir Ilard'e, Mr. Wilfrid Scawen Blunt, and the English members and ex-members of parliament whose names are connected so notoriously with Indian sedition and other forms of offence.

The editor of Good He.ilth (Battle Creek, Mich., September) makes the suggestion that beer, when brewed from corn-malt. .18 it now often is, may contain this fungus and be responsible in part for the occurrence of the malady.

' [.PROMPT DELIVERY PROMPT PERSONAL ATTENTION Young & Thompson Phone 7032���������Cor. 26th and Westminster Ave. To those who watch with interest the struggles of American municipalities over the police prohlem, the following statement from the New York Evening Post may offer some suggestions. It reiers to the police system in the City of Mexico, where it is re - ported to be thoroughly satisfactory: Each policeman on night duty starts out with a lighted lantern. He places it in the middle of the street, at the point nearest to the center of his be-.il ���������where two streets intersect. He is forbidden to move out of sight of the lantern. If one requires the services of a policeman, a giance up or down the street will show the gleam. of a lantern. The policeman is always ne-ir-by. Encouragement to strict attention to duty is provided by a standing reward of $5 to any one who will bring a policeman's lantern to a station-house. The officer who loses his lantern is mulcted $5. and other - wise disciplined to te^ich him to pay closer attention to business. Each policeman is required to keep a record of the persons living on his beat, and , he is held accountable for failure to report a case of illness. Mounted police patrol the outskirts of the city. At brief intervals throueh the night every policeman sounds a whistle, which must be replied to by the nwn .on the beat. If no response is forthcoming, the roundsman or an<->ibe- policeman goes to see why the signal , is not returned. the deaths due to railroad accidents and injuries, which were fi,C59; those from drowning, 4,558; from burns and scalds, 3,592; from injuries by horses and wagons, 2,152; from injuries from street cars, 1.723; from injuries in mines and quarries, 1,998; from inhalation of poisonous gases, including smoke. 1,838: from other accidenvil poisoning. 1.779: from accidental gun- si-' w'lindx. 911; and from . heat nnd simstro' e 81fi. It therefore is r^pii that one is more liable to die as 'he result of heat and sunstroke than from an automobile accident. PRESENCE OF MIND.

Good Health : "There is a constant source, of pellagra which at the present time seems to have been overlooked; namely beer. Most of the beer used in this country is made from corn, and it Is quite reasonable to suppose that much corn which might be considered hardly suitable for the makimr of grits or cornmeal niiiiht be considered good enough for beer. It is doubtless true that there are at the present time many or even more people making use of corn in the form of beer than in i'.ny other form, and it would be well for such persons to know ih-it in the !'��������� e of beer they are running greiter i-������k of t.,ujTj<r pellagra than would"be i-'-o'ved in the ordinary use of corn.'
