THE CIVIL AUTHORITY Shall Wc Maintain or Repudiate It? Important \"Motu Proprio.\" Rome, Nov. 1911.���������\"Tlio last number of the 'Acta Apostolicae Seclis' contains an important'Motu Propria'of the Holy Father regarding the censures inflicted upon those who bring- ecclesiastics before the civil courts. The Holy Father's pronouncement reads as follows: * Since in thescv evil times it has been the custom to pay so little heed to ecclesiastical immunity, that not only Clerics and Priests but even Bishops ancl Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church are brought before the lay tribunals, the situation absolutely requires of Us that We restrain by severity of the penalty those whom the gravity'of the offence does not deter fronvthis sacriligious action. Wherefore We * Proprio Motu' lay down and decree that any private person, layman or cleric, male or female, who, without permission of the ecclesiastical authority, summons before a lay court any ecclesiastical, persons whomsoever, either in eriininaloor civil cases, and compels them to appear there publicly, will incur excommunication 'latae sententiae,' specially reserved to the Roman .Pontiff. And what is laid down in those letters Wq, will to be valid and ratified all things to the contrarv notwithstanding'.'' The above is clipped from the official organ of the Roman Hierarchy in Canada in its issue of Nov. 30, 1911, and is a dispatch from Rome. In brief it sets forth that any \"layman or cleric, male or female\" who dares to summons before a civil or criminal court auv official of the Roman Church, shall be excommunicated and re- ceive the curse of the church. It also lays down the principle that ecclesiastical law is superior to civil law, that a cleric is immune from prosecution in the civil courts, that a cleric must not be subject to the criminal law, that he is so superior to the civil law of the land that it is an insult to even summons him to it. This is dangerous teaching and should not be allowed to pass without adverse criticism. We have no desire to interfere in the right of private opinion in religious matters and avc count among our most intimate friends members of the church which is responsible for the above utterance, but we do protest' against the public and official declaration that members of that organization shall not recognise the supreme authority of the law of the land Such sentiments are unworthy of any loyal subject. national ports In discussing the estimates Mr. Monk, the Minister of Public \"Worlis, gave expression to some remarks which should be greeted with general approval by the public generally. He; stated that in his opinion the Government should adopt a policy of development of all our great ports under,, a, definite system of transportation, and -he further stated that it would likely cost in the neighborhood of $100,000,000.00. 6 This is a great undertaking and will require careful and exhaustive investigation and will call for the best talent available. Mr. Monk should reeeive the hearty approval and support of his colleagli5s and the public. He will meet great difficulties and much discouragement, but the work is one which will result in an impetus to transportation and shipping greater than that of any other course. DEBATE ON SPEECH The debate on the Speech from the Throne has been marked chiefly by the bitter personal attacks made by the opposition members on the ministry and by a tiresome re-hash of the old worn- out reciprocity agreements. Not a member of the opposition attempted to discuss tlie important questions in the Speech ; from tbe Throne, but wasted tlie time of the House discussing the supposed personal differences existing between members of the Cahinet,ai.<] a vain endeavor to rouse the racial feelings of the members from different sections of the Dominion. One of the questions presented was the matter of good roads to be assisted by the Dominion Government. This is an eminently good move as a good highway is one qf the best colonizing influences that can operate in any country. Another point was the one of terminal elevators. .This is a distinct step in advance in modern legislation and ensures to the farmer fair treatment in the matter of the transportation and storage of grain. The fact that the Government did not bring down a naval policy has caused much bitter criticism by the opposition. It is generally understood that the naval policy of the late Government will be discarded altogether and that Mr. Borden will consult with the Imperial authorities and formulate a policy which will be permanent and satisfactory to all concerned. , ,, The objection of the people of Quebec ,to a direct contribution has been that we have no representation, and it.is generally expected that the new policy will provide for contribution with representation which would be acceptable to all parties. MAYORAL CAMPAIGN Mayor Takes Credit'to Himself For Success of Work He Opposed. The mayoral campaign again finds His Worship Mayor Taylor in the field, in spite of his undertaking given to his late colleague. Aid. Ramsay, that he would not be a candidate. According to the Mayor he deserves great credit for the work accomplished by the council of the past year. As a matter of fact much of the success of the past year has been accomplished in spite of the .Mayor, rather than with his assistance and in some cases in direct opposition to his attack. , ' Let us examine^a few cases. Last summer a scheme of Joint Sewerage System was introduced by Aid. Stevens and a joint meeting of the representatives of the various municipalities was called, at which meeting His Worship did his best to block and obstruct the proposed scheme, but in spite of his opposition the committee agreed to proceed, with the result that today, Mr. R. S. Lea, the consulting engineer, is completing his plans,in regard to the same. This has meant a great,deal' of hard work and the acquiring of much detail and many surveys, whicii has been submitted to him and is now being whipped into shape. This will give to Vancouver the best system of sewerage of any city on the continent. All this has been done, not only without his���������the Mayor's���������assistance, but on frequent occasions in direct opposition to him. He sought to block aud discourage the scheme because he had not initiated it and on every opportunity he would, in a subtle manner, seek to upset the plans of the committee. Again Ilis Worship iiow says, \"We will throw up both hands if Deadman's Island lease is cancelled .by the Dominion authorities.\" He sees the revulsion of public opinion against his policy of giving the city's rights to Ludgate without a struggle and seeks to use the opportunity to his political advantage by advocating municipal docks. What has he to say of his attitude last summer when he URGED THE CITY COUNCIL TO PAY MR. KINMAN $400,000.00 OF THE CITY'S MONEY FOR THAT WUICII HE NOW ACKNOWLEDGES BELONGS TO THE CITY? Is this not practically an admission that he, as\" First Magistrate, was unable to cope with the situationt Has the condition changed in any respect, except, perhaps in this that the |H>Utical.friendsvof Mayor. 'ii,ylor and Mr. Kinman are no longer in control at Ottawa and it is not in his power to influence them to do that which is contrary to the general wish of the people. No one will question the unalterable opposition of the people to this lease and yet His Worship has most assiduously advocated Kinman's interest as against the city's. If he believed Kinman and Ludgate to be right why is he now saying hurrah when the suggestion is made to abrogate their so-called rights? Or, if he believes that the city is right, why did he not support the city's claims? Is this man a safe first magistrate?' Is he the man to guide the destinies of Vancouver? The people must answer this question. [NEW 8T. MARY'8 HALI.

It is designed to promote the social side of: the church's life in this rapidly growing suburb, and was built, equipped, and presented as a free gift by the vicar, Bev. Owen Bulkeley,; and. his wife. \"As your bishop I can say from the bottom of my heart that I am proud of you and the work you have done, and I consider that in appointing your vicar to the oversight of this parish, you have a man who by his experience in the old country, by his zeal as evinced in what has been,accomplished in a bare six months, and by his scholarly attainments, is a distinct gain to the rankB of the clergy in.this diocese,\" said his lordship, addressing a crowded hall. He appealed to all to strive for unity of purpose and action, to sink petty differences for the common good, and to go on growing. Archdeacon Pentreath told of the beginning of things religious in the [city, of how he was the fifth clergyman of the Church of England here when he arrived fourteen years ago��������� now there are eighteen���������and of how one of the most fascinating things in the West was that one might be at these beginnings and see their results also. Rev. Owen Bulkeley touched on the - y - v - hope of unity which he said is shared by all the churches/and said that the belief in \"One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism,\" was almost ^uniyersal^ Catholic; and that while the Church of England in Canada held fast by the Episcopacy, the Apostolical Succession, the three-fold Orders of the Ministry, and abated no iota of doctrine. There was nothing but cordiality in its relations to Nonconformity, and a desire for closer union with Christianity at large. Hence drifting to reminiscence, he closed with some excellent stories admirably told? Trie\" sacred concert which followed was due to the kindness of Mr. Harold D. Campbell and the ladies and gentlemen associated with him, Miss Wilkie. Miss Trousdale, Mr. Earle, Mr. H. B. Williamson, Mr. S. J. Montgomery, and the accompanist, Mr. J. Johnstone.

ACCIDENTS AND COLLISIONS. The cars of the B. C. Electric run, some say, very slowly; but even at the. spaed they do move they are proving to\" be very dangerouB. The latter part of last week as the Fraser Avenue car was rounding the bend at the junction of Westminster road and Fraser avenue, a car of the White Star line came also and struck the Fraser car on the side, tilting it to a very critical angle and giving the passengers a severe shockrl he damage was slight. Then a day later the Fraser Avenue car proved to be the bloodthirsty villain The victim this time proving to be a poor milk wagon. The car hit the wagon broadside and \"rushed the can,\" milk, man and horses, scattering them and breaking bottles. Where the fault lies It is impossible at present to say. As when the passengers became aware of the accident, the deed was done. Both events occurred in three days. When is the next? This makes the \"might-have-been\" loom large. The participants may be the smashed parts next time. Then who will settle? THE MAYORAL POSITION (Prof. E. Odium, M.A., B.Sc.) Were the citizens of Vancouver asked what cirid of a Mayor is needed this coming year, there fould and would be only one answer, if at the present time no name were before the public. [h������ wording of the answer might be different, irying according to the vocabularies and the Educational advantages of those answering. He should be a strong, just, wise, experienced, liecessful ..business man. possessed of the highest leals, and of a pre-eminently practical turn of lind. He should be a man representing the imperialistic spirit of the overwhelming majority of (lanadians and of the citizens of Vancouver. ���������In business hisTfirst impulses should be towards jeonomy and not to extravagance, leading to an (nwise habit of borrowing, without a clear vision [s to the future., Further, lie''should stand always pr ALL the people, and not be in the habit of Bering to any particular class, aud often to the host extreme and selfish class,known,to the coun- serf. for praise or money, of any big railway corporation. And no man could possibly be fitted for such a responsible position, who runs riot in supporting bomb-throwers and anarchists, irrespective of the dire results looming up against British law aud order. \"7- At present this is all I care to say on the subject of the mayoralty contestv,for the vear 1912 AD.

For years T have been watching the growth of anarchy and mob-law in the civilized world. I may be wrong, but am of opinion that I am pretty nearly correct in the following tracing of the true cause of this growing and calamitous tendency to despise all restraining law and to break the Sabbath day. When I'was .in my teens, the manifested - beginnings-of. the \"true cause had their origin in \"Canada. I presume the same-.kind of vile seed- sowing took place in the United States about the same time. The Roman Catholic Church, in Canada, demanded Separate Schools, and in Ontario gained their end. The demand was based cn religious grounds. The Church did not wish to have their Roniau Catholic children taught out of the Scriptures by Protestant teachers. Nearly all the teachers in Ontario were Protestants, and the School-law required the public schools to be opened and closed with Bible reading and prayer. This did not suit the priests and higher authorities in the Roman church. In the end they got Separate Schools, in-which there has been little or no Bible reading for nearly two generations. But a second element of Roman Catholic influence, along this line, is the \"following: After, as well as before, the establishment of separate schools there was kept up au agitation against religious teaching in the public schools, even though in the separate schools the burden of the work was, and is, of a religious character. jThere were provinces where the separate schools were net established, and therefore Protestants and Roman Catholic chuldren had to go to the same publie schools. And further, the High and Grammar' Schools' were attended by children of both religions. Thus it came about that the Hierarchy of Rome kept agitating against religious teaching in, these public institutions until, in the end, the entire school system became religiouless and godless, as it is today.;. The boys and girls, largely of Canada, have grown up studying the burs of science, and history of-the nations, without being.led.up to the Great LaVgiver. in the material, moral and intellectual world; aud without being taught'the mostL helpful and reliable history ever published. Any mythological history of ancient Greece, or Rome, or Persia, or of the Scythians. Goths. Saracens, and others, was and is good enough to be put into the school books, but the Bible History is excluded. u Now what was going on in Canada was being duplicated in the United States.' And.'.of- late, one ean see a similar process advancing in Great Britain, caused by\" the saniepeople. by the-same means, and for the.same end. Hence two generations of godless and.religion- less education have produced .a mass of anarchists, bomb-throwers. .Sabbath-despisers. and lawbreakers. No wonder Roosevelt has sounded the alarm for the United States. It is time for Canadians to give ear to the voice of the\" offspring of their .madness and folly.���������Anarchy, divorce, libertinism, disregard for the sacredness. of life and property, and reverence for God! The question conies to one as he considers these' curreilt events and tendencies, i' Why does the Ch'arcii of Rome so largely refuse to permit the free and open study of the Old and New Testaments? Is it true that she does stand against the 'simple teaching of the Holy Scriptures'?

Now, Sir, I wish to deal briefly with some of the measures referred to in the speech from the Throne. Several hon. members opposite have presumed to say there was very little in tbe speech from the Throne, but even that little has been ignored by them for the purpose of making an attack on the ministerial benches. There has been practically ho discussion of those important matters which are referred to in the speech.

I represent a constituency which comprises some 150,000, good, loyal Canadian citizens, and I think consequently I may be allowed to take part in this debate. The subject of the cabinet appointees, or the colleagues which the Prime Minister has chosen to act with him, seems to have taken precedence over every other subject. I think that is a matter for regret, because I understand that we are sent here for the purpose of discussing the larger questions relating to the affairs and administration of this Dominion, and not for the purpose ol making personal attacks upon individuals. I want to congratulate, the hon. member who has just spoken (Mr. Verville) upon one or two points which he mentioned, and which 1 think prove conclusively the wisdom of the position taken by the Liberal- Conservative party of Canada ,on reciprocity. He spent considerable time criticising the trusts, and he argued in favor of reciprocity as a means of preventing the inroads that the trusts are making upon the consumers of this country. In my opinion, to open the markets of Canada freely to the ingress of the trusts of the United States would certainly not benefit the consumers of this country, according to his own argument. He also made reference to ttte protection of labor, and in this I am heartily in accord with him. But I was surprised to hear the criticisms he made, being, as he is, a supporter of the right, hon. gentleman v who leads the opposition, and.who so lately led the government of this country for fifteen years. I am reminded that there is on the statute books of Canada an Alien Labor Act, which was especially designed for the laboring men of this country. Now, what did we find a short time ago on the Pacific coast of Canada We found that the authorities of the Dominion, under the leadership of the right hon. gentleman, were deliberately violating the Alien Labor Act, acting in direct contravention to its provisions. They have been for over year conniving with certain individuals for the importation of foreign labor into Canada in direct contravention of that Act. The government officials at Victoria and at Seattle, where foreigners take the boat for British Columbia ports, were instructed thiat they could admit foreigners into Canada in direct contravention of that. Act. Now, Sir, how the hon. gentleman who claims to be the special representative of the laboring people of Canada, can be a supporter of a government, of an administration, which has perpetrated a crime of that kind, is beyond my comprehension. ,The hon. gentleman said that he felt convinced that the reciprocity agreement had not been well explained, to the people of Canada. Well, all I can say is that he could not have attended any Conservative meetings during the last campaign, because .so far as I could learn from the press, and according to my own. personal-observatlonsyin-=everyi^coni stituency tWe Liberal-Conservative party sought to give a'full and complete explanation of this important measure. In the amendment proposed by the leader of the opposition we find this clause: \"We respectfully submit to your Royal Highness that it is a fundamental principle of constitutional government that the advisers of the Crown shall be heartily in accord on all important questions of' public pot- icy.\" Now, hon. gentlemen opposite are making strong objection because they imagine that there is a difference of opinion between members of the present governmnt on what should be Canada's naval policy. Now can we not offer a similar criticism on the personnel of the members of the opposition? Can you imagine a more direct contradiction of opinion, for instance, than that which exists between the hon. member for Red Deer (Mr. Clark), and the right hon. gentleman who leads , the opposition\"? The hon. member for Red Deer is a hearty, hale, bluff John Bull, an ultra- imperialist, according to his own statement; a man who is an avowed free-trader; and yet he sits side \"by side on the same political bench with the refined and cultured leader of the opposition, who is a.n, avowed protectionist, whose administration has ever pursiied a protectionist policy, a gentleman who introduced that famous it would result in some good to the country. In the first place, we have an allusion to the subject of good roads. ' This has been a subject of some ridicule on the part of our hon. friends opposite. ', The hon. member for St. John city and county (Mr. Pugsley), the late Minister of Public Works, says-that this is a matter that will present insuperable difficulties: ��������� -7-: ���������������������������-���������: He could not understand how they were going to make a division of these funds which would be satisfactory to everybody, Sir, from his standpoint, and from the standpoint of the late administration, I can readily understand how it would be difficult to make a division of the spoils, but, under the administration that we have at the present time and with the application of the intelligence of the members of the whole House, I believe that this question can be solved amicably and justly to.all concerned; I consider it a question of the most supreme importance. There is no greater colonizing influence than good roads. T believe that a highway through the0 country is of more value to the settling up of the community than a railway or a tram line. I believe that the Dominion and provincial governments should co-operate in the extension pf the highways throughout the country. I am here to say this, that according to the records of our own province, the provincial government of British Columbia are spending this year $3,000,000 on the extension. of the highways and this has been hailed by the people as a highly commendable piece of adminis- trationjl^eiwelcgmed the assistance of the Dominion government in extending the highways through our pro-j vince. There is an illustration of the value of this policy that I might give the House. For instance, there is the Alberta-British - Columbia highway. This is; a highway that we hope to join up. At present I understand that you can take an automobile or a carriage and drive practically all the Way from Winnipeg right through to the Rocky Mountains. We wish to extend our highways eastward and join them up so as to make a highway clean across the continent. Som hon. gentleman the other day rather ridiculed this idea, but to my mind, and I repeat it here, it is a highly commendable piece of administration to extend the highways of the country. There is another point upon which 1 wish to dwell for a moment and that is as to. the question of immigration. The hon. member for Red Deer (Mr. Clark), in his eloquent and witty address, which I enjoyed very much, made reference to this subject. By the way, I might just say that the hon. member for Red Deer visited British Columbia .'and preached his free trade policy'and we returned seven solid, Conservative members. He is still persistent in believing that he is on the right track. However, I have no quarrel with the hon. gentleman, he is a gentleman for whom I have anese on the Pacific coast. Ten years ago I do riot, think there was a single Japanese engaged in the fishing business, or there were very few; to-day there are 10,500 Japanese engaged in the fishing business. Ten years ago that business was in the hands of white men; to-day it is entirely in the hands of Japanese or almost so. These are facts which, I think, speak for themselves. How has this come about?

They were continuously passed, and as often as they were passed tbey vere disallowed by the Dominion government. They; were disallowed, probably legally and properly, but the policy that was followed was against tha advice of the imperial authorities. I refer you to the Sessional Papers of 1898 and ,1900, should any hon. member desire to verify my statements. There he can find reference after reference, telegram after telegram, letter1 after leter, from Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, speaking for the imperial authorities, advising the Dominion parliament to pass an Act along the lines of the Natal Act. This was refused by the Dominion government, the Acts of the government were disallowed and the result is that to-day you have a race problem on the Pacific coast in comparison with which I repeat, the negro problem of the south fades into insignificance, because you not only bave the presence of the Asiatics on the coast and In your country, hut you also are face to face with the fact that they are protected by their own countries which \"are highly civilized and powerful nations. This is a problem that must be taken up and dealt with toy the.Dominion House. Under this, new administration 1 am looking forward to some measure which will assist us to keep British Columbia ,as a white man's country, and -not as a Held to be exploited by Asiatics. Reference is made in the speech from the Throne to a proposed reform in the terminal elevator System, and to the development of agri- <:ulture, and our friends opposite rath- ���������er ridiculed these proposals. - Mr. PI7GSL.EY, My hon. friend is mistaken as to that. I was not in the ��������� House when any member on this side ridiculed the idea of the government controlling terminal elevators. I I spoke of the elevators myself, but I did not criticise the policy of the government. Mr. STEVENS. The hon. member may not have been in the House, but I am distinctly under the impression- Mr. PUGSLEY. Mention any mem- llier who criticised that policy. k Mr. STEVENS. I am distinctly under the impression, and reference to -Hansard' will I think prove my statement, that the general tone of all the members on the other side was to ridicule the proposals in the speech from the Throne. Mr. PUGSLEY. Not at all. Mr. STEVENS. The proposal of this government with regard to terminal elevators is mos) progressive and advanced legislation, and any man who has the welfare of thia Dominion at heart must say that such legislation is in the interests of the masses of the people of Canada. We were told by the right hon. gentleman (Sir Wilfrid Laurier) the other evening that 66 per cent of our people lived by agriculture, and yet, so far as I have been able to find out, $750,- 000 onlyt was the amount that the Liberal government could afford to spend last year for the promotion of agriculture. Our agricultural industry comprises 49 per cent of the total trade of the Dominion, and if you in- plemeht industry, which is also dependent on it, then, you can easily say that 75 per cent of the total industry of Canada is agricultural. Sixty-six per cent of our people live directly by agricultural pursuits, and although our revenue last year was about $115,- 000,000, we spent less than 1 per cent of it on the fostering of this great industry. Such a condition as that is absurd, and I submit that the time has arrived when the Federal government should spend a much larger sum for the development of agriculture: Let me give you a few facts. France, which is a very small country compared with Canada, spends annually $9,000,000 in the interests of agriculture; Austria spends annually nine millions, Hungary nine and a half, millions; the' little empire of Japan, which you could bury in one of our inland gulfs. on the Pacific coast, spends three and a: half millions; and the, United States spends - annually ten millions on agriculture; and yet,-notwithstanding that Canada is essentially a new agricultural country requiring great assistance for its development, the late government could only afford a sum of less than one million dollars last year on agriculture. The proposal of the new government, as I understand it, is to provide facilities for the establishment of agricultural colleges and experimental farms so that immigrants coming to this country, not experienced in agriculture, may obtain that experience here which will enable them to settle on the land and become prosperous and successful farmers. The immigration policy of the late administration tended to bring.to our shores, hordes from southern France, tp encourage the Japanese and the Chinese to flood this country, and to, as far as possi ble, provide $5 per head for the coffers of the North Atlantic Trading Company and other such Institutions. Hardly a city in this Dominion but has to face tbe problem of what' to do with these southern Europeans. Ontario has -had to pass an Act to prevent these people carrying concealed weapons and using them to the danger of life, in the slums of our cities where they congregate. Instead of bringing immigrants to this country who would settle on the farms, the policy of the late government was to bring to our cities hordes of these undesirables. What we want now is a policy which will enable immigrants when they arrive in Canada to become acquainted with our customs so that they may be useful citizens of Canada and successful settlers of our vacant farm lands; The hon. gentleman from Maisonneuve (Mr. Verville) spoke about trusts, and0 as I understand it the condition which prevails in the Northwest in the matter of our terminal elevators is tbat there is danger of certain companies corralling, the elevator business there;-and so the government proposes to regulate these elevators in such a manner as to give the farmers���������whom we may classify as the backbone of the; citizenship of the country���������facilities to store their grain under favorable, and equitable conditions, and to market it to advantage, so that tbey may secure a fair profit as the result of their toil and industry. That is legislation which ought to receive the endorsement of every member in the House. True, there are problems in connection with the scheme; but never-has there been a departure from tbe ordinary routine tbat did not present\" problems. 7 The. details must be worked out, and7if hon. gentlemen on the other side\" are interested In the development of the country, instead of casting ridicule upon the project they can, by offering; judicious criticism; assist the government;in carrying it to a successful issue. Another thing touched upon in the speech from the Throne was the appointment of a tariff commission, and I submit that ttns proposal offers an eminently intelligent solution for many of our present difficulties. I repudiate the assertion of hon. gentlemen on the other *>-_<������ that the party now in power represents the trusts. The truth is that we represent the whole people of Canada and not any particular class, and so, the tariff commission will be able to hear from all classes of the community and to decide what is best to be done for the general w elfare of the Dominion. When the two gentlemen went from Ottawa to Washington last year���������and I say this in spite bf the statement that Washington came \"to Ottawa���������in connection with the reciprocity agreement, they met the tariff experts of the United States who had at their fingers' ends facts and statistics to sustain their' side of the case. I submit, Sir, that a minister of the Crown, with the'multiplicity of duties he has to perform, and the tremendous pressure of business on him, could not be expected to be an expert on such a question. You cannot expect any human being who has such a diversity of duties to be an expert on any one of them. So that when these gentlemen went tc Washington they met the expert tariff commission of the (United\" States, by whom, I am credibly informed, $300,000 was spent in gathering facts for the purposes of this agreement. How, I ask how, in the name of common-sense could any man who is not an expert, I care not how intelligent he may be, meet men of this calibre, who are intimately informed on this subject, and expect to make an agreement that was entirely equitable? The7thing was impossible. What we expect from the announcement in the speech from the throne is that the present administration will organize here a tariff commission similar to what they have in the IJnited States, non-political in its complexion. & far'as I am concerned,' I would oppose any sciieme of this kind with a political stripe. The commission must be a scientific, non-political organization, and 'with such an organization I can see that we shall have ah equitable tariff schedule riii tbe- fu-- ttiire. 7: rv--\";v;w7.' ;vy7r:1 ������������������;\":--:yy ���������-���������- 'Now, I wish to deal for a moment with the fisheries question. I have intimated already that the fisheries on the Pacific coast are almost exclusively in the hands of Japanese. This is a matter of very great significance to this House. It is difficult for hon. gentlemen living in the eastern part of the Dominion, with many local problems pressing upon them for/solution every day, to become interested in what is happening at the other extremity of the country.' But this is more than a local problem for .Uritish Columbia; it is a problem which affects the whole Dominion of Canada, and I will briefly show how. These Japanese are merely ordinary fishermen, but to a large extent they are reservists of the Japanese navy. They are experts in navigation. They have draughted complete charts-of every hole and corner of the Pacific Coast, 4^- and have photographs of .tha. whole coastline. I'venture, to say there are in .the archives at Tokio complete charts ^of our navigable 'waters. To illustrate that,' I may-state that a few weeks'ago one of our coasting boats going on its usual run wanted to call ai a certain inlet. Some of these inlets run up into the land for 30 or 40 or 50 miles. The captain had no chart, in fact there'is no chart of that'particular inlet; ��������� and having looked up the chart-he had, he said, \"I cannot take the risk. When ihe was faced with this difficulty, a Japanese fisherman produced from his pocket a complete and perfect chart of that inlet, and the captain was able to sail up many miles by that chart. The problem on the Pacific Coast in this regard is a serious one, and merits the attention of this House. Moreover, the method followed up to the present time of granting fishing licenses on the Pacific Coast is something nefarious. Licenses have been- granted' to individuals whose, only recommendation was that they were political heelers, and;these licenses have been farm- ed~out to Japanese and others. Fishing licenses which have been secured for $50 have been sold to Japanese for from $1000: ter $15007 While speaking on this subject, 1 want to make a practical suggestion which I hope will be taken into consideration by the administration. On the Labrador coast there are a large number of fishermen who would make excellent settlers and citizens, on the Pacific Coast. At present these fishermen are disfranchised, ^because 'there is -no representative ������n this House from the Labrador (coasi^ and lam informed that Or.' Grenfel, who has done a'great deal for the people of that part of tbe country, is interested in the-transfer of some\" of these fishermen to the Pacific Coast. I believe it Is up to the Dominion administration to arrange its immigration laws in such a way as to conserve, and protect the resources of this country so that they will not pass into the hands of aliens, and I believe that the transfer of some of these Labrador fishermen to the Pacific Coast would be a splendid solution of the difficulty, because it would give us expert fishermen and relieve us from the necessity of employing Japanese. Mr. LEMIEUX. Has the number of Japanese fishermen materially increased during the last two or three years? Mr. STEVENS. Yes, most material. i ly. The hon. member' is referring, I have no doubt, to his little jaunt to Japan a few years ago; but, while I ''7y| il presume the hon. member did his best and his intentions were all right; that arrangement does not meet the case In any sense. What we in British Columbia contend ls that there should < be passed by the Dominion authorities, as was suggested by Joseph chamberlain himself, an act similar' tb the Natal Act; but the Dominion government of tbat time absolutely refused to pass such an act. I go further. When the ' treaty with Japan was under negotiation, the late administration were asked by the Imperial authorities if they wanted to come In as a party without reservation, or if they wanted to'reserve their rights with regard to immigration, and they told the Imperial authorities that they would come In without any reservation whatever. The result Is that if we attempt to interfere with Japanese Immigration in anr way.- we are met with the difficulty of an objection from the Emperor of Japan. It is not an easy question' to solve, but the late administration neglected the question entirely, instead of attempting to deal with it It ls a question that requires large men to deal with, but7 if it is ^not grappled with.' you are going to be faced with a race problem that you will have to reckon with in the near future. Now. I want to proceed to the navy question. It has been stated by some hon. members that in the recent campaign prominence was not' given' to the navy question, while other hon. members stated that it was the sole, question discussed. As far as British Columbia is concerned, this naval question is of vital Importance. If yon will permit me,, I will read again the clause' referring to that in the proposed amendment of the right hon. leader ' of the opposition: \"That with regard to that policy, as well as to the whole question of naval defence, there is ln the present cabinet a flagrant conflict of opinion.\" On the Pacific Coast there is no conflict of opinion, but there is an opinion that is directly antagonistic to the policy of the late administration; What have we got today? The Atlantic squadron the other day went on a political junketing tour in express opposition to the orders of the naval authorities, and the result was that the \"Niobe\" was piled upon a rock. The Pacific squadron went to Comox harbor and dropped anchor, and had not men enough to raise the anchor. That is the kind of Canadian'navy you have today/ Now, was it the intention ot the late administration to man their navy with Japan&e? because that ls .A ^ (Continued on Page 4) 7* i 1 * It !>���������������,;��������� >,���������:���������. * ,..{4 #.;..������������������������;������������������������;������������������������!���������������fr ���������* 1H1' *������* *4 1* 2 $ 13500 Horse Power Turbine The Spirit of the Times Demands RELIABLE -8AFE- EGONOMTG AE- PDWE R Stave Lake Pow6r is Dependable and Economical By harnessing the Great Stave River we have made it possible to generate 100,000 horse power of electrical energy at our Stave Falls Plant, the Biggest Electrical Feat in Western Canada. 4 100,000 Horse Power Or half as much again as the combined connectedcload in steam and electricity in Vancouver today, a fact of great significance to local industries. \"���������:;-.

Hastings & Abbott St. Vancouver, B.C. Stevens' Speech (Continued from Page 3) what.it. apparently was leading to. The whole, fishing industry on the Pacific Coast, on allien you must depend for men\" to man your merchant marine and navy, was in the hands oL .Japanese, and no one who has looked into the question carefully could fail to see what -result would follow, from the naval policy of the late, administration. That policy was simply suicidal in every sense of the term, not only so far as the poor \"Niobe\"was concerned, but,from beginning to end. I haVe 'formed a judgment on the navy question and have no hesitation in stating it. We have been told that there is a conflict of opinion among members of the cabinet on this question, but we ought to-be sufficiently broad-minded to give members of the cabinet the right to their own opinions with regard to any public policy, but if there be any difference it has simply been concerning1 the direful effects bound to follow the policy of the late government. This qiiestion is one which should be approaehed as a business proposition and not with a view of utilizing it so as to throw out sops of patronage to particular parts of the country. What -J the condition at present? We have a certain trade on tlie high seas, and it is just as essential; that we should have protection to our trade on the. high seas as police protection in the. cities. The question is not one of simply bolstering up imperial ideas. It is a commercial one more than any- y'Lng else. We are proud to boast that the British Empire controls over half the carrying trade of the whole world. We are proud to boast of our supremacy of the high seas. Well, in my opinion what is required is an imperial board of defence on which the overseas dominions should be: given representation. I am convinced that a board of that kind would remove the last vestige of objection in this country to a direct contribution to a navy under the control of the imperial authorities. ] But I may be asked how we are going to decide the proportion which each of the overseas dominions should contribute. Well, as I have said; the proposition is a business one. There is a certain amount of traffic throughout the empire. Let us, for the sake ot argument, say tbat the gross amount of traffic throughout the empire amounts to one billion dollars and- that the portion contributed by the Dominion amounts to $100,000,000. In my view the proportion which the Dominion should contribute to the support of the navy would be pro rata to the proportion which her traffic bears to that ���������t* m^^^^^^*mAmmm*09m9k*\\m. ,m*^^m*f*A%%. ^% (9 ������ 1% <>|y i������ 4 9 4* HI ������ 't\"t!'l\"I\"I\"I\"|' 'I' '1' * * * ** * * ************* * * * 4) Alluminum Kettle In Use Fifteen Years���������GooQ Yet When you buy goods that last like that, the first cost is not a matter of much consideration. The reasons why you should buy Aluminum Goods are: BECAUSE 1. They never chip. 2. They never rust. ������������������������������������ 3. They're easily cleaned. 4. They are light. of the whole. Suppose, for instance, that one billion doilars represents the whole traffic of the empire,' and $100,- 000,000 that of the Dominion, the proportion of. our contribution wbuld.be one-tenth. If such a course as I have indicated were pursued I.-believa.it would result in removing the objections which at present obtain against our contributing to-the maintenance of an imperial navy. A good many people are opposed to any such contribution unless we have,representation in the councils of the nation.' I myself am a firm believer, in the. autonomy of this Dominion, and Avhile I believe in a direct, contribution,,I am equally convinced that we should have our say regarding how that contribution should be spent. If then, we be given imperial representation, I see no objection to our contributing to an imperial .navy. For 100 years Canada has enjoyed the protection of the imperial navy, and has not given a cent towards tlie cost of that protection. That, I consider, is a disgrace to Canada. I consider it a disgrace to this country that we should allow the taxpayers of Britain to be burdened with the wholp responsibility of the heavy tax required to protect our overseas trade. The time, has come when we should bear our just proportion to protect our own trade. On the basis I have pointed out and on being given direct representation in the councils of the empire, I believe the last vestige of objection to a naval policy would be removed. I have not much more to add, but I wish-to refer to a remark made:by the hon. member for Kings, Nova Scotia (Mr. Foster), the baby member of this House. Let me congratulate\" him on the excellent speech he made on the address, but when he alluded to the unlimited, resources of Nova Scotia, while I have no fault to find with my hon. friend's enthusiasm regarding his own native province, I Und I am at a loss how to describe the resources of the province I have the honor to represent. We have in that province a coast line of 7,000 miles and an area of some 238,000,000 acres. When the late Sir John Macdonald aiid his noble colleague proposed to span this continent with two bands of steel, their policy was ridiculed by the Liberal party of that day. In fact, Sir Richard Cartwright described British Columbia as a sea of mountains and declared that the railway: would not pay for its axle-grease. Well, we have 7 great mountain peaks, of which rwe are justly proud. \"Those peaks are so high that I do not believe the mentality of those engaged in this debate could surmount them* and certainly they tower high above the, mentality of those who criticize the statesmen-like policy of Sir John Macdonald and his colleagues which! has made this country what it is today7 But between those great mountain peaks we have fertile valleys in which you could place Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and, I believe, the province of Ontario aB well. Let me now draw attention to a few of our resources. ;Our output of coal last year was 2,000,000 tons and our output of other minerals amounted to some $24,500,060, almost one-half the total production of minerals sin Canada. Our salmon fisheries canned oyer 1,000,000 cases of salmon.

I might point out further that in Vancouver alone during the last ten years we have contributed to the Doniinion treasury some $35,000,000 in customs and postal returns, and this year the amount is likely to reach $8,000,000. But what I wish particularly to emphasize is the fact that we ought to turn our attention to the development of this Dominion regardless of race, religious and creed' differences. What do J care about anybody's views on trans-substantiation or any other religious doctrine? Though bom in the old country, I am a Canadian in sentiment, my first love is Canada, and I believe the time has come when we should bury these petty differences, and work in common for the development of our common country. The other day I had a conversation with one of my ^colleagues from the province of Quebec who told me he had property in the West, and had travelled considerably, throughout that country and had thus obtained an idea of the vast heritage belonging to this Dominion, and he came to this House prepared to deal with every public question from the standpoint of the country as a whole, and not from any sectional point of view. I agree with my hon. friend.

Editor Western Call, 7 City: ';���������.*���������' Sir,���������From time to time I have seen in your columns (particularly, 1 think, in letters contributed by Prof. Odium) references to a \"Popish party\" in the ranks ot the ministry oi the Church of England. I do not pretend to be as well read or as intimately informed on such matters as Prof. Odium undoubtedly- is. - At-the same time, - my path of life has thrown me repeatedly into .close touch with many of the church leaders; and I. must confess that I have seen nothing of the spirit to which he so frequently alludes.' It is true our High Church, men do pattern some of their practices, particularly that of the confessional, after those of the Church of Rome; but while the form is Romish, the mere fact that they adopt and follow it is not sufficient evidence to\" sustain the conclusion that the spirit is equally Romish. Does not Prof. Odium do an injustice to worthy men, good citizens, and true supporters of a free Protestant religion, when he attacks the High Church group? Would it not be a fairer thing for him, occupying as he does a semi-public position as a critic of current events, to investigate before condemning? If he has convincing evidence, he should produce tt. Otherwise he should retract.

Delivery and No one unacquainted with the task of embarking between 2,000 and 3,000 men, women and children to say nothing of officers' chargers, dogs and other miscellaneous impedimenta, can have the faintest conception of the enormity of the task and if the tempers of the various embarkation officers were, tried to the utmost as they endeavored from early morning till late in the day to allocate each 'unit to its respective place on board while at the same time trying to instruct the uninitiated into the mysteries and topography of the various troop-decks etc., etc., it not to be wondered if occasionally their manner was a bit curt. We were not long discovering that we were destined to be more than mere idle passengers on the voyage and altho many of the \"billets?'; assigned us were at the moment somewhat of a mystery we were soon able to grasp the meaning of the various little amusements (?) provided by an all wise government for preventing the time hanging heavily on our hands': - swabbing and holystoning the decks���������cleaning brass work, sweeping decks. Sentry go and watches combining to.relieve the monotony. .It was a common sight to see a bunch of \"Tommies\" sitting barefooted oh deck (as boots were discarded after leaving port), playing \"house\" or, ,^ards just then the. bugler would sound two \"G's\" oi\\ three' \"G's\" as. the oqcasion demanded, then the \"School\" would be suddenly broken up by the hasty exit of some of the party recalled to a sense of their duty as \"swabbes\", sweepers,'.' etc., muttering, meanwhile something that was barely a grayer as their comrades chaffed them as they departed. On the first day out from Portsmouth and when the.snow white cliffs: of the old land had faded from, our view��������� the cliffs that so-many on board were destined never to see again. 01d7Nep- tune became playful and many of rBit- ain's warriors were rendered hors-de- combat faster than all the combined European armies could -manage to do ^-^mariynoythose^who^faiicied^them' selves immune being'amongst the first to succumb and give up all they had as a tribiite, \"'. V\".; A rather amusing incident in regard to this occurred oh board���������searching amongst the kit bags on deck for his own, one of the boys came across an Artillery forage'cap of the did \"pillbox\", pattern, making a grab at it he found something attached to the chin strap which.he discovered to be a gunner of his own battery who had been missing from the mess table for a day or two and had lain down amongst the bags being too sick to move, it was a long time before he heard the last of it. After leaving the English channel ajttd reaching the much dreaded Bay of Biscay' were were agreeably surprised to And it on its best behaviour. .Gibraltar with its terraces of guns, grim and impregnable; the kej-- to the Mediterannean was, passed also Spain and Morocco, then we reached, Malta and entered the harbor of Valetta to disembark troops for, Malta and embark others for India and receive coal. Here the Maltese diving boys amused us by diving for coin thrown from the ship and bumboats laden with oranges figs, dates and tobacco and cigarettes came alongside to reap a rich harvest, as after a diet of salt junk and cast iron ships biscuits, we were only to eager to buy whatever the cost. Kext day we resumed our journey and in another four days reached Port Said, the entrance to the Suez Canal. Coming (to anchor we began, to coal again, while the officers and other privileged persons off dut3' went ashore to see the sights and dodge the coal dust and stretch their limbs. IC j I^-was rather amusing to watch the * \\ coaling operations. Just .as soon as * j we had cast anchor the barges came -H-li alon.Sside and the stream of living humanity began running up and down ihe gang planks, carrying the coal in baskets on their heads. Just like so many black ants. What struck me most was the number of women employed, and the incessant jabbering and chanting kept up whils't all this was going on the usual bumboat scenes were being enacted and Tommy was availing himself of the opportunity of being fleeced. As the rabble were not permitted aboard, the usual procedure was for a rope to be thrown on board from the bumboats below, attached to which was a basket, ^thisTwas hauled on board and with the money, inside tow^^^lbelaw,; white ^erarticles desired in (exchange for coin of the realm was conveyed by pantomimic gesture as well as by aid of several pairs of strong lungs and often given in various dialects of course. Tommy was at the mercy of the cheating Arab or Egyptian merchant below, but one had to take a chance or go without. Next morning early we weighed anchor and with the aid of a pilot commenced our journey through the canal with the aandy deserts of Arabia on the one hand and Egypt on the. other. After travelling about 12 hours at the rate of about 4 or 5 miles an hour, not having a searchlight at our bows we anchored at Ismaileh for the night, resuming our journey next morning, getting out of the canal at Suez same afternoon. On entering:the Reft Sea, which by the way, Is blue, I was naturally curious to find out just where Moses crossed and where Pharoh and the Egyptians were drowned, one of the sailors doubtless thinking that being \"rookies\" we would swallow anything, informed us with a very solemn visage that a black line across the water still marks the place. Needless to say we never saw that line, but the naughty sailor man never turned a hair when told, and assured us we must have passed it in the night. I shall never-forget the beauty of those nights in the Red Sea and Indian Ocean. I used to sit up on deck in the moonlight and watch the porpoises race with the ship while the prow of the vessel cut her va>*. through the waters, scattering sprays of phosphorescence to port and starboard, and illuminating the water, revealing the fish as they sportively chased each .other. During,the day the porpoises, dolphins, and Jlying fish with an occasional shark, helped to enliven the scene. We passed Aden, that barren, arid spelt,; where I was afterwards stationed for two- and a half years,; and five dajte afterwards came to anchor m Bombay Harbor. Our disembarkation; the journey up country and the various incidents and experiences on the way must be left until another time. .O. McM. . Bones to caasnoM.

Pyne was the postman. There were at least twenty notes addressed to the girls, and several to Brand, from friends ashore. Mr. Traill, of course, wrote to his nephew and Mrs. Vansittart. Naturally, Pyne carried his own missive to the kitchen, where he found that Constance and Enid had managed to wash in.distilled water. They were cutting sandwiches and endeavoring to read their letters at I the same instant. He bowed with sarcastic politeness. | .\"I Bee you are ready for the party,\" he said. Certainly he offered a deplorable contrast to them. His face was encrusted with salt and blackened with dirt and perspiration. His hands were like those of a sweep, but smeared with oil, which shone on his coat sleeveB up to both elbows. His clothes were torn and soiled, his linen collar and cuffs limp as rags, and his waistcoat was ripped open, having remained ln that condition since it caught in a block as he-descended the mast.

Have you had bad\" news?\" Enid's wondering cry was evoked by the extraordinary way in which the young American was looking at her. intensely exciting knowledge His eyes were When Pyne quitted the kitchen Tils intent was to reach Brand without delay. As he passed Mrs. Vansittarfs bedroom he paused. ' Something had delighted him immeasurably once the first shock pf the intelligence had1 passed.
