At the present rate of progress the revenue for the fiscal year from the customs alone will be well over $100,- 000,000. Allowing for the Influences of favorable trade conditions there Is still a. large meftsure of credit for the in- crea.«ed revenue to be given to the In- stitution of more up to date methods of departmental administration. Since the cliange of governments there has been a steady clearing away of the deadwood which for years hampered the efficient worlting of the service. There has also been a great Increase in '■ the number of new customs officers over the Dominion. No leas than 24 new ports have been opened, as against an average yearly increase of four uri»; der the former administration.

LOS ANGELES, Cal., May 29. — Ti-.e third week of tiie trial of Clarence S. Darrow on an Indictment alleging the bribery of a McNamara juror was be- gun today with a session which was curtailed to less than three hours, ow- ing to a death In the family of one of the attorneys for the defence. The en- tire time Wiia devoted to a continua- tion of the direct examination of Bert M. I'Tanklin, former detective in Bar- row's employ, and a self confessed . juror briber.
Franklin told today of his attempt to bribe George N. Lockwood, after con- cluding his story begun ytsterday of the alleged corruption of Juror Ilobert F. Bain. Attorneys for the defence ex- changed significant smiles on several occasions when Franklin, asked by the prosecution to tell of conversations with Darrow regarding his dealings with Lockwood, declared that ho could recall no specific talks with his employ- er In which thfc alleged corruption of Lockwood was the subject. Franklin testified twice that wh:en asked by Dar- luw if he could trust Lockwood, that he knew I.,ockwood was a "man of character and sterling Integrity."
His last conversation with Darrow concerning Lockwood, said the witness, occurred in the grill room of a local hotel. Lincoln .Steffens, a magazine writer, was dining with Mr. Darrnw. he said, -and after he had been introduced to the writer, Mr. Darrow tookr, a list of names from his pocktt, Franklin said It purported to be a list of the ninth special venire In the McNamara trial.
Franklin's direct-examination will he concluded shortly after the resumption of the trial on Friday morning, ac- cording to District Attorney Frederlo'/x.

Sir Kenneth Anderson, chairman of the board of directors of the Orient line of steamshlpa. which carries the Australian mail to Tilbury. England, is a visitor In Victoria at present, havng come over from the antipodes on the Makura the other day. For so young a man Sir Kenneth occupies a very prom- inent position in the transportation world, and his visit to British Colum- bia, while it has no official significance is of . more than passing intereist. • Al- though he has been atvay from the centre of things for several months, his grip on the ehlpplng situation is keen, and consequently his oplplons concern- ing the development of the Pacific coast and the effects of the opening of the Panama canal are worthy of notice. Sir Kenneth had to confess that his visit to British Columbia did not por- tend any development on the part of his company in this part of the world. In the next breath, however, he admit- ted that he had Interests at Albernl, which ho proposed to visit today. The said Interests are purely personal — al- though apparently they consist of real- ty Having negotiated the Initial hur- 'dle, Sir Kenneth started In to. talk of the main topic In Pacific Coast circles, the Panama canal, and his remarks on that subject, especially in relation to Australia, were exceedingly Interesting. "The opening of the Paiiamn Canal will work wonders for this coast, and I understood that the people hero re- ■ <iulrcd no particular pointers in that connection. They are well awaje of what it will mean to them, and they are preparing to take advantage of It. To my mind It will revolutionize shipping, but I do not think it will revolution- ize all shipping. For instance the Aua- tr.Tllan lines will .go on as before, trav- ersing the Mediterranean and the Suez. As a matter of fact there Is no induce- ment that the Panama canal can offer that would bo worthy of consideration by the Australian lines to Great Brit- ain. The distance from Tilbury to Mel- bourne via the Sutiz Is con.siderably shorter than the Panama canal route. And In addition to that where would wo find a mall port? That Is what re- ally mti.ke« the difference. On our present route through the Suez we have magnificent mail I'acIUlles to place against the all water route of the Pan- ama Canal. No, the idea of changing the route of the orient line has never been considered, and personally I can- not .see why It should on account of the Panama Canal.
"Not only Is It the shorter route, but then It Is so very much more attract- ive. Tho Mfidltcpranean trip, with Its many ports of call, and tlio run through the Hod Sea, are assets that even a con- siderable margin of time could nol compensate for. It Is bettor as well a.s quicker. Then at Brlndlsl we havtt our mall port. What la on the other route to rival that advantage? No- thing that I can see. Of course King- ston tian been sviggestod, but I do not think there Is any real serlousneea In the claim.
-Will Brlnff White I.abor "But for tlii.i country, and all the lines operating tho waters of the Pa- cific coast, the Panama canal will bring about such a condition of things as are undreamt of. It will materially aid In the development of this country because It will facilitate the bringing out of that much needed commodity In tho West, more labor.

The big meat supply firms of the Metropolis have been successfully run- ning the blockade of the pickets to- day with long trains of motor drays laden with hundreds of tons of chilled and frozen beef, and the Smithfleld meat market today is better stocked than usual. The government has glvan assurance that It will furnlsli all the protection necessary for the preserva- tion of the unchecked delivery of food supplies, and the evidence that the au- thorities • Intend to make good their promises has greatly irritated the strikers, who find themselves in this way faced with almost certain failure If the strike should be localized in Xiondon. The danger, therefore, of the declaration of a national strike has become much more acute, and It seems probable that If Ben TlUett and Harry Guaiiiig, tlie iiiKu's iettders, can carry the day, an attempt will be made to call out all the transport workers of the United Kingdom poss.oly tomor- row.

Mr. Fo3s said It was all right to talk about peace and arbitration, but that everybody know In tho bottom of his lieari that war was not over in tlio world, and would not be for some timo, and that a nation which was not pre- pared for war when it had es much at stake as the United States was fool- hardy to the last extremity.
"I would not belittle the p«e.ce con- ferences," said Mr. Foss, "but I merely wish to remind the house that in the last fifteen years every Important na- tion of the world has been at war.

"Council of war" does not desC|ribe tomorrow's important and unprecedtent- ed meeting at Malta.

"The meeting is significant of two facts," this official continued. "The first is that the pre.sent Is a 'look about you' government, the second is that the chiefs of the empire finally realize tho necessity of abandoning attempts to check German naval development. The; corollary is that Britain must strength- en her defences in the Mediterranean."

BLANK CHEQUE AND
BOGUS CERTIFICATE
"VANOOUVEIR, May 29.— .-After an ab- sence of three Jiours, the jury et the assizes brought In tonight a verdict of "Not guilty" In the case of R. P. Pettl- pleee, and six other men, charged with unlawful assembly on the ■ Powell street grounds on January 28 last. There were originally eight men in- dicted, but as one of them could not be identified by any of the witnesses,
Before the jury gave their verdict, Mr. Justice Gregory warned those in the courtroom that it was a court of Justice and he did not want any scene whatever over the result. Consequently when the verdict was announced It was received quietly, though tho seven men were afterwards congratulated by their friends who lingered in the courtroom.

VANCOUVER, May 29. — ^The prelim- inary hearing before Magistrate Alex- ander this morning In the Spencer Robinson forgery case established fa.cts that go tn prove that the sum of J3000 was taken on the lith day of October, 1911, from the municipality of South Vancouver, by some person, obviously fnmlllar with the accounts and systen^ of the scliool board.
Evidence submitted showed that not only did some person forgo tho archi- tect's name to a bogus certificate bear- ing the name of Cockroft & Draper, contractors, but the same per.inn also tampered with the accounts and filing system of the secretary, abstracting from the file tho $7000 certificate which Robinson himself had se<:ured a war- rant for from Mr. Klrkland. the secre- tar>, subsequently, and substituting In Its place a genuine warrant for |4000 issued on the same date and bearing the genuine signature of architect Bow- man.
The story told by Contractor Fred Cockroft In the witness box this morn- ing Is to the effect that he knew of the irregularity in the warrant which he received from Spencer Robinson's own handa. but notwlthitandlng he cashed the warrant and deposited the surplus $3000 to his own account and banded Spencer Roblnaon a blank cheek on the following day, which the alleg- edly defaulting chairman of the school board only filled for »1500 leavtnc tho balance to the accoupt of Mr. Oock' rofL

Sir Kenneth would not d|scuss the Titanic disaster, saying that his infor- mation was too ««crappy to (4»t; of much good to him in forming an opinion a.s to its cause, or even as to what pre- cautions should be taken by shipbuild- ers In the future to - prevent similar eatastrophles.

A Paradoxieal Sitnation.
A Western Hotel-man who was asked his opinion of Corby'. "SPECIAL SELECTED" Rye Whisky
said, "The trouble with that whisky is that it is too good."
On analysis, that statement is not as illogical as is at first suggested. What our friend really meant was that on account of the superior quality of this whisky, which is produced at unusually high cost, the price he has to pay for it is higher than on rye whiskies of lower quality. I'hc price to the consumer is the same, so, while he is giving his customer better value with Corby's he is reducing his own profit on the sale.
That is why the sale of

"Xo nation ever refrained from mak- ing- war for Want of money.

The time has come for the consider- ation of the housing problem in Vic- i )ria. It lias not yet reached an acute >tage, although rents are out of ell :.roportion to wages; but it is certain to becoitic acute, unless we taJce time by tlie forelock and guard against the difficulties that ha.ve arisen in other titles as population has increased. A characteristic feature of Victoria is that it is almost wholly a city of de- tacliotJ residences. That it is desirable that this should continue to be the casi- will be conceded. That It cannot Ions continue to be so unless means are provided whereby working people I an get out into tlie suburbs is evi- ii:n;. Apartment houses are catering t ) liip wants of a certain section of the population, but those who live in "them are, for the most part, persons w iio can pay rent for detached houses If they wish. There is no occasion for iiie public to pay special attention to ih.cir requirements, for there will be always some one ready to supply them. The class of persons, whose case is Hteadlly becoming more difficult to deal with, is composed of married men, who parn their living by day labor. Such l>er.sons find It difficult to get suitable iiou.sca to live in at a rent they ought 10 pay.
It seems to us that the community Is face lo face with two alternatives, the erection of tenement houses, Or cheap and rapid transportation to suburban areas, where land is relatively cheap, and a working man can have his owij home. Already wo hear talk about the erection of apartment houses for the accommodation of .«uch persons, and probably if such houses were roomy and airy, with all modern conveniences they would he very useful and as fa-

as many detached houses are. Such houses. If er^fted In any oonsl(l«>rnhl* number, would make the matter of public playgrounds very Important. 'We ♦ire laying in Victoria the foundations of no mean city, anri our effort ought to be to keep it a slumless city.
What we would all like to sec is the extension of the area of detached resi- dences, but to make this possible three things are requisite, water, sewerage, und quick and cheap transportation. The first requisite is transportation. When this is provided the other essen- tials will follow as « matter of course. Much Is expected of th* B. C. Electric

fnrence ehould be held at MuHtt. If we have corrijctly suniilacil tin- ohjrrt "f this conference, we will not be far astray If we suppose that Ituasla, Aus- tria, and ^■rance would br in sympathy with them. Austria has already given proof that «lie docs not regard Italy's course with satlafactloii. Uuasia lias no desire to see Italy in a position to shadow the approacii ttj the Bljtck Sea. France certainly can have no desire to 8e«* Italy become paramount in the Med- iterranean. We think that the confer- ence may lead lo an important new de- parture In European politics.

Nothing has yet been done to carry them out, and the reason assigned for the delay, in quarters which might be supposed to bo in touch with the facts, are not such as would be satisfactory to the public.

A very extraordinary conference Is being held In Malta this week. It wHl be participated in by Mr, Asquith, Prime Minister! Mr, Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty; Lord Kitchener, the British representative in Egypt; Prince Loui.s of Battenberg. who is to command the fleet during the fortlicom- Ing manoeuvres; and General Ian Ham- ilton, adjutant-general. Such a confer- ence, held at this time, and at such a place, must have an extraordinary pur- pose, vve artj li'iciiUtrU to thiHix t»»S... the conclusion suggested by the dis- patches, namely that it has something tj do with the naval preparation of Germany. Is not reasonable. Tne first thought which arises in connection with the conference, when one sets out to think of It without any preconceived idea, is that, being held in the very centre oC i'ne Mediterranean, and being attended by Ixird Kitchener, who Is charged with the supervision of British interests in the Levant, it has some- thing to do witli events now transpir- ing In and around that sea. Kvents of sufficient importance are now taking place to call for action, and it seems hardly necessary to look further afield for an explanation.
When Italy Invaded Tripoli, the Great Powers looked on without protest. Whether It was mutual jealousy that prevented them from interfering, or a belief that Italy's cause was just, is not material. The fact remains that they did not interfere. The Tripolltan cam- raign has been largely a fiasco, and Italy realizes that with the approach of hot weather the chances • are that pestilence will stalk through her forces. Active operations in the field will be Impossible; but In the meanwhile the .\rabs will be able to strengthen their forces and perhaps to take the aggres- sive No responlble Italian authority can contemplate a summer campaign in Tripoli except with feelings of dread. The Italian government, recogny^ing this, bombarded the Dardanelles, which Turkey at once closed, greatly to the embarrassment of commerce. The loss occasioned thereby to British and Russian trade and shipping, not to men- tion that of other countries, in and out of the Black Sea, wan vary great Indeed, 80 great Indeed that when the matter wais discussed In the House of Lord.«>, speakers on both sides Of politics de- clared that Its continuance would be Intolerable. Since then Italy has been taking possession of some islands in the Aegean Sea, and this can hardly be permitted by the Powers, for It would destroy the equilibrium of the nations having Interests In the Medi- terranean.
Under these circumstance we can readily see why the British (overoment should conault with 'I'ta chief military and naval authorities, and that the con-

There are those who have long held to this view. Let us suppo^-e what we tliink is unlikely, that is ,1 naval clash between Great Btltaia uml Germany; lot us further suppose, wl1.1t Is yet more unlikely, that the Biltlyh fleet should be worsted. What value would the Monroe Doctrine have then? That Doctrine owed Its original value to the fact that Great Crltalnitoott behind It; and It woul* be mere empty Taporins now, if Britannia did not *^rule- tho^ waves."

^M~'-ibf iwalM-' 'that. «i>a';lHtiher,' iihe Horn may possibly be an excellent namie de- rived from some peculiar feature of the mountain. Other peaks bearing nnnips are Mount Rohson and Mount Gelkle. These are £:ood names. It is well that the memory of John Robaon, one of British Columbii's strongest public men, should be associated with a. noble mountain, and it was a graceful act on the part of some one to give the name of Gcikle to a peak 11,000
feet high. It Is true we are left In | now than theye was a year ago doubt a« to which of the brothers Archibald or James, both distinguished in geology, it is intended to honor, but it is something to have the name as- soclatied with a great landmark. Mount Geiklo stands exactly on the boundary between British Columbia and Alberta, almost due south of the summit of Tellow Head Pass. By the way, can some one tell us the origin of the name Yellow Head Pass, and why the name has been changed from the original French, for we assume that It was Tete Jaune in the first Instance, or els« why Tete JaUne Cache? Returning to the mountain names wo have Mount Thomp- son, which seems to be the, source, of tlbe Thompson, and is therefore admir- ably named. Selwyn Range lies on the south elde of the Fraser and east of Tete Jaune Cache, and la well natned. v^«. t<i5 other slue «i"ie tlie Rai-nfoow Mountains, but we do not think this can be a very happy appellation. Nel ther do we think that Snow Peak and Snow Mountain within a short distance of each other exhibit very good Judgment in nomcnolatune.
There Is a Board of Geographical names, which Is supposed to pass upon such matters before they become offi- cial, but as we favor the idea that ex- plorers should have a right, if they wish to exercise it, of naming prom- inent features In the country, we ex- press a hope that, in selecting desig- nations for mountains, rivet's and lakes, the pioneers will choose terms that are descriptive or else select the names of persons, who like Robson, Thompson and the Oelklcs have done something to deserve commemoration.

If they are not true, they certainly ought not to be spoken of at all. Our contempor- ary says the Colonist knows that the elieigations referred to are truie. The Colonist does nOt know them to be true; the Colonist has no Information what- ever on the Bubject. except that it was informed of one case wlvere applications for the purchase of land were made elinultaneously with the receipt by the Department of the surveyor's return*, and that the applications were forth- with refused. It Is possible that this case has been told and retold until It has been made to appear like a very serious scandal affecting the Whole ad- ministration of Crown Lands.

The Katlonel Gtims
Not devotees of baselmil only, but ali Amerlt^ahs Interested in athletics and sollcltlous over the encroachments of gambling, keenly regret that pool selling has attached Itself to the na- tional game, it has been the glory of this glorious game that It has been practically free from gambling and kin- dred Ills ever since It became universal- ly popular. Sporadic financial diseases have occasionally a^acked It, hut these attack.s have been external and trans- ient. Baseball, on the whole, the coun- try through, has been clean sport. One shudders to think what 'ivlll become of baseball if it be made the medium of pool selling. The ruin of horse racing, which is one of the finest sports ever devif'ed by men, and the rottenness en- sphering the prize ring show what iwol selling will surely do to baseball. It can not retain the support and i;itcre«t of decent Americans if it is allowed to become tainted with gambling. Tt la to the lnt«.'!rest of the public and of managers of baseball leagues to act im- mediately and to strike vigorously to prevent the octopUa of pool selling from stretohlng its iilmy tohtacies around basebalL — Spokane Ssolcesman- Revfew.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
On the eve of the departure of the Rev. T. E. HoUlng. of the :Metropolltan Methodist Church, we would like to say that during hla pastorate In this city he has made very many friends and shown himself In every way to bo an cxoelTftnt citizen and Christian gentle- man.
•Mr. Roosevelt haw said that, if II is nfcessary, he will appeal to tho coun- try against the dcclalcn of the Repub- lican nomination convention. Tn oihor words he proposes to be a candidate in any pvpnt. Thin w»r (ho way the Colonist understood hi.«! position, when he declared that hl.H "hat wm-^ in the ring."
Senator l'"08s, of the United .States, says: "We will never go to war with Great Britain so long as Canada is a Brltl-sh nosses.-^ion. She Is a hn.siaiio for peace." We draw attention to the fact that the Senator did nut s«y that Great .Britain will not go to war wllli the United States, because Canada Is a hostage for peace. Therefore the con- clusion seems to be that Canada keeps the United States In check. We extend to the Senator an expression of our ap- preciation of his excellent Judgment In the premises.
Mr. Cllve Phllllpps-Wolley writes us to Mif that we had not seen the resolu- tion to be moved at the meeting of the Navy League. This is quite true; we wrote on the strength of InfoTma-
iettor from Mr. PhiUlpe-WoUey
Sir; — Our good friend Senator Mac- donald appeads from his letter In this morning's Colonist to bo under the same disadvantage as the editor who wrote tho "salutary disapproval" of the Mavy League's public roff.'ii'Mon i.. o,- moved on Thursday night.
He apparently has not seen it.
Perhaps ho will take It from me that this rosolutlqp does not contain one word which can be construed Into a re- quest for tho disclosure of the govern- ment's naval policy, but Is an expres- sion only of British Columbia's opinion upon the naval needs of Canado.
So far from being a one man move- ment, this meeting was tioclded upon by the committee of the league in the president's absence, though called with his entire approval.
As to the charge in tli<^ clitortul that the league's action i.i polltcial (I sup- pose he mnans partisan), a ulancc at tho names of the speakers should he a sufficient answer.
Wo ^re pledged to abstain from party politics and I believe that the public will- agree that we have so far kept our p'.cdge. <

Psychologists and phllo.sophers urge that we tend to become that which we live*upon, and that In eating death for ages past, we have been thinking death and rooting ourselves on a lowered moral and physical plane. While thla mass of evidence has been gathering on ^e fruitarian side, the kreophagous argument has been faring poorly. It has liad to Jettison Its theology and re- vise Its science. The records of vege- tarian hospital treatment in London and Paris, the low percentage of di- sease among vegetarians and the cor- respondingly high standard of effici- ency and mortality all militate against conservative views on diet. In Amer- ica two unexpected Impulses have re- cently bein given 10 food reform. "The Jungle," in ^whlch Mr. Upton Sinclair revealed tho secrets of Chicago n)'?at- packlng, made thousand.-is of indignant converts. Then the cxacUons ot the meat trusts drove another ho."?! into a food revoU. AUosothrr it iiia.v be said that In the older lands the fruit- arian movement Is rapidly approaching the form of a revolution, and can no longer be dismissed as a passing craze. — Lyttleton (N.Z.)

PAVING WORK DELAYED

BidB-r-Engiaeer Knat Opposed To
Oxnnibos Contracts
At tho suggestion of City Engineer Rust the time for putting in bids for thf; 2U.O0O square yards of asphalt paving which tho city council recently decided should be let has been postpon- ed. The city had advertised for tend- ers to be in on May 31, but now the bids will be postponed until a date, not- ice of which will be given later.
Tho council decided to call for tend- ers for paving before Mr. Rust arrived, but now that the latter is in harness he has expressed a desire to go more fuUy Into the matter before any con- tracts are let, special attention to be paid to the specifications.
Mr. Boat Is not in favor of letting contracts covering a large number of
streets at one time. It is probable that at an early meeting of tlie council tho city engineer will submit a report out- lining his suggestions relative to pav- ing work. 1
WOULD RESTRAIN CITY
Court Action Taken To Prevent De- molition of Buildings Becently Condemned By Council
That the condemnation proceedings recently undertaken by the city council against a number of structures, declar- ed by. the medlcxl health officer and the sanitary Inspector as insanitary and a menace to the public health, will not be allowed to go unchallenged in the case of at least one owner, was indlcatv-?i yesterday morning.
The city clerk was served with a no- tice that the Investment Corporation of Canada, Limited, had secured an in- junction restraining the city from pro- ceeding with the demolition of premised situated at tho southeast corner of Douglas and Cormorant streets, being lot 1247. The writ was Issued by Mr. Justice Morrison and holds until argu- ment may be had thereon.
This Is the first case under the re- cent proceedings of owners of condemn- ed premises taking action to prevent the city proceeding with the work of de- struction, though last year an Injunc- tion was Issued In the case of premises then condemned, but the courts tiphcld thn city's right to order condemned buildings to be destroyed.

It is alleged that he and his part- ner, named Berg, set fire to their ladles' tailoring establishment, 224 Madison street, Seattle, a year ago. Tho evid- ence of the incendiary nature of the fire was such that tboth men were ar- rested and their trial was fi.xed for April 17 last They were allowed out on bail, but when the case was called they failed to put in an appearance, and a warrant for their arrest was issued.

He congratulated the boys present on the keen Interest shown in the work and hoped that It would be kept up and that Lord Deshorough's magniilcent cup would be retained In this city. There was no greater honor in the province 'than the winning of It.

OBITUARY NOTICES
BERLIN, May 28. — The "Austrian Econ- omic Union" has sent out a Ions statjment on the failure of the high tttilff, wlilch lioals mainly with the rolatloiiB of Austria and HuHKary; but In two psB^ages touches the r^-lallon of SocltillBm to protection. The union declares emphatically that the high tariff \a the main cause of tho growth oC Hoclalism, both In Austria and Germany; and that Is tho rigours of protection are not abated Hoclallsm will further triumph. The statement says that:
"It IB high time to broak gradually with tho overstrained high protection policy, and first of all to meet tho Interests of na- tional nourishment and also of the stock farmers by reducing the high duties on corn.
"Such a wlsft gradual reduction of tho priMPiit hlsh protection system must recom- mend Itself all tho moro, hecauac It is tho intornatlanal rise In food prices which drives the Immense masses or tho working- class and eIbo tho wfirklng-mlrl<ll«-rlnKii Into bnttio against the 'Kgrarlan usuriMw' who, despite thli natural rise In prlcpN. demand also high protective duties; and It Is this which at e\"ery fresh Reichstag election louses a dovastallng advance of the Soclal- Doniocratlc party.
*'I iathT**''"**** wlnor Tor tho f ar-wljrh t<»d politician Ic glvo way voluntarily on one or iinoih«r point rather than be forced finally to surrender all along the llnr, and to aban- don evfen the minimum of protection which Is still essential in order to protect stock against diseases from abroad. »
"It cannot ho Ignored that present social conditions, which have got so aggravated thnt the worklng-clBMscs (city dwellers and workmen on one sldn and food-producing farmers on the other), are now engaged In a war of annihilation, cannot be maintained In the future. Such a condition makes it Imposslhle to pursue a genuln« national policy, for a national policy must be for all claases and for all Interests."
The statement says that "tho frightful rise In prices has driven Ihe workers Into fierce ronflirt," and so'-" "'"' I" P''^<'''';f ''''S' 'f t^"" high protection system Is maintained the .Soclal-Poinocrats will triumph altogethar, and will then enforce measures which will ruin agriculture.
"If as a result of the fearful embtttcrmont ol Ihe consumer and of the Inrreaae of Social-Democracy the 8oclal-nemocrata arc. able to push their programme through, that will entail a catastrophe for our agricultural and most of all for the peasant farmers."
Further on the Bti«tem«nt repeats that High Protectionists' policy -will "turn the other (1. e.. Industrial) half of the Austrian peoples Into embittered opponents, and send them entirely Into the c«mp of the antl- o&pitaHstlc •nd antl-Protertlonl»t Hoclal- Democrale. I.*t them reflect what a fascin- ating cry the word 'Free Trade' would prove for all clotiBs who at present are aufferlng from tho high prices."

Tlie parade for suff- raRe has not only tlic value of stirring the emotions of the onlookers, but it al.so convinces the public that there is a great .and widespread movement, l^ast year, in summing up the resvilt of a procession, the New York Times said that Ht last the siiffrago associa- llons liad proved that they were com- posed of mor(? than leaders. For the first tirtle the New York public seemed to be liiipre»sed with tlie faiit that there was a x-ank and file. The Idea that there were only some leading individ- uals In the movement gave way when the marching rank.s of women demon- strated to the eyes of all that there was an army behind the officers. I'or those who take part In the procession It means the gaining of enthusiasm. Aa we march shoulder to shoulder with our fellow workers wo feel that we are marching for a principle, and each one gains and glve« In.splration. The march is a demonslratiou of the solidarity of womanhood. Women of all ranks stand shoulder to .shoulder, thus feeling the profound influence of democracy. We are marching together, and marching fur one great cause."

It is hard, hwew^-w yather f rom any direction, except one, any idea of a practical remedy. That is, that there must bo more producers of food In pro- portion to the consumers. And yet, tho world does not seem to be ready to fol- low the advice of those who would send the people of the cities to the land. On the other hand, the census sho\Y4i that thousands cverj- year are leaving the fertile farms of Ontario to sink into the slums of cities like Toronto. in our own province men and women ar» crnwdlns Into the cities iu; \t Usvrc were no profits to be made on the land. The children are brought up In ignor- ance of the cultivation of the land. In our own city and its environs land is lying Idle which, if carefully cultivated, would render the Importation of a great part of the vegetables and fruit consumed, unnece.«saiT- .'.n niany cases men and women would gain in health as well as in pocket by spending time, now trifled away, in useful employment in the open air. Gardeners and own- ers of orchards complain of th"? scarc- ity of labor, while thousands of school- bcya and girls in country and city spend the long weeks of the summer vacation in idleness. If the balance be- tween country and city is to be restored the women of the continent must again be willing to make their homes in the moidst of green fields rather thon on dusty, noisy streets. They must be ready to sacrifice the amu.«)ements, the dissipations and the excUenients of city life for the auieter pleasure* and tho more strenuous labor of the farm and the dairy and the orchard.

But chil- dren, to be efficient, must have room to lire and grow and play. They must be •well fed and comfortably clad. How can this be done -when the rent of a home takes at least a third of a man'.s larnlnps? If the Victoria of. the fut- ure Is not to have the objectionable features to be found In all large cities, and which are already complained of in some of the newer Canadian centres, a beginning must be made very soon. There should be homes for working men at once cornmodlous and comfort- able and at such a rent as makes it possible for any man and women who is industrious and thrifty to bring up a family in comfort and respectability. Other cities: have solved this problem by building homes for workers in tlie .luburbs and providing cheap trans- portation. Can this be done In Vic- toria? It shoulrl bring to those who undertake tl>e enterprise a reasonable profit, for working men are, as a rule, very careful to meet their obligations. This matter Is one the consideration of which brooks no delay if Victoria is to escape overcrowding with It? attendant dangers to health and morals.

When the men who are now doing tlielr share of the country's work were boys, if they robbed an orchard, or broke a window pane or tought with their schoolmates, their fathers thrash- ed them when they found them out. As a rule, the habit of dishonesty or destructlvcness or quarrelsomeness was effectually checked before chiiuiiooti was passed. There are middle-aged and old men in gaols and penitentiaries, but, surely, never before were Judges called upon to sentence so many young men for serious crimes. In every city on this western continent : tliera are child orlniinaljs. Boys and girls who, had they lived fifty, or even thirty, years ago, would have been reprimand- ed or punished by mother and father and then carefully watched and .guard- ed, are now taken from their homes, brought into court and confined In de- tention homes and reformatories, The truant whose misdemeanors would nev- er have been heard of beyond the clr* ule of hla .sehoolraatea Is now looked u'pon as disgraced, If ^not outlawed. Tlin mischievous urchin -who steals a ride on a bli?ycle or cuts a boat from Its moorings m\ist appear in court with the lad who is really wicked, and too often must spend with him succeeding weeks or months. Where are the fath- ers who should guard and. If necessary, I)unisli such misdemeanors and the inotliiirs who ought to love and warn the little culprits?
.luvcnllc court.=! ,'ind detention honicH art- cxc^ellont things for ohiit'.rrin who an'' really vicious. When mothers and fathers are dead or worse than dead, the state and ooclety must care as best it can for those who have no one else to care for them. But wise people say that a mother is a very bad motiicr In- deed who cannot care for her own (Intighter better than nn.v other woman, however good, is ablp to do, and that a father, even with many Imperfections, can train and guard the son he loves better than a stranger of the highest rharactcr. Juvenile courts arc neces- sary, hut the .ludgc should be a man of great wisdom, reatly to discern between mischief and vice, and he ought to have ample time to study his cases.
Tha Saffrmff* Far;%d« Amerii-nn women, a few. days ago, held an liumense suffrage parade In .N"ow York. In the j)rocL'sslon there Were not only women 'of every cln.ws and oicupatloii, but nearly a thousand men. Some of these had more than a national reputation. Among these -were Ruhbi Wise and niehard Le Galllene, the poet. While many women me ojiposed to such demonstrationa, others n.-e nnlte ready to Justify their action In taking part in them. .^monp these Is Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch, -^vho, writing in the Woman's .Journal, riuotes a poet, who says that "logic'' does not "convince," and who continues: "Hu- manity iB moved by its emotions.

The Middleman Makes the High Prioei of Food.
Raising food and marketing food arc different enterprises.
H. B. Fullerton, tho l/ong Island rail- road's director of agricultural develop- ment, has found Ave commission agents between the producer and the ultimate consumer. Jle accordingly holds that the law of supply and demand Is pre- vented from Its normal action on prices, that the middleman makes the jiigh prices of food and tliut the producer receives practically nothing.
Commission men handled Mr. Fuller- ton's cauliflower for 7 1-:; and 10 per cent, commissions. He was paid J1.25 for 5. barrel of cauliflower, but tlic re- tall purchaser paid 25 cents a head for the. vegetables. The payment of com- missions on such a low price as Mr. I'^ullerton received for his barrel of ceull flower left him without a cent of profit from the crop.
Finally Mr. ]'"ullerton traced lil.s cauliflower from farm to pantry. First came the commission merchant. This gentleman told another man that he had goods. The second man told a third that he had green stuff to dispose of. The third fellow went to a man who dealt in real i-stale, insurance and commission. The fourth intermediary actually disposed of the cauliflower to the stea^Td nf a hotel.
Not one of these inen had uny capital. Two had hats and pencils for offices. Yet each raked a percentage fro'm his share In the peculinr perfnrn-innce, and tlv consumer ;it the hotel paid fancy prices for the privilege of eating c.iullflowrr.
Mr. Kuielrton put on his thinking Cap. He slocked crates with a variety of vegetables and (Expressed them dl- rectTy to acquaintances. "If these crates," he wrote, "are worth $1.25 keep the vegetables."
The m-mey was paid over every time. Mr. Fullerton made n market witlM>ut. difficulty. HLs trade grew so that he has to refuse orders. The con.«nmor gets what In the markets would cost from |2.ri0 to |4.,'iO according to the season .Hid tlie vegetable.

The flelding event wa.s a great lump by Keller to ••'poar an aviating drive, but Kennedy «nd StaUlIle were both winning honors. Silent Kd. Kennedy led with tJie baton. Our brilliant young- .short-stop had & brief Iftpse.
Still other features were the knowl- edge brought home to the blonde gent who mannge.si the Pippins that it is sromelimes unwise to walk Mr. Meek and the Jlnlnsr and banishment of Mr. Kaufman for making audible remarks from the bench regnrdinR hi.s umps poor eyesisht. Mr. Yen Haltren cannot ■iieip it. U i» vhls mtsfortune. not his fault. But really he .sliould .see an op- Ian.
Crullt»liank Injured
CrulUshanH, second baseman for the Tippin.s, was put out of the game In the seconjl when a Wild pes by Keller struck him on the nose a.s he was dash- ing ove/ first, and brokie hlB nose, cut- ting hia face badly. Ur. Holden put the ix>.iured organ in splints.
The seventh act was the big show. The score stood 2 to 1. and the long nul was not ours. With one gone Col- trin let Brcnnan's easy grounder roll through his pedalers, and Brennan prmoptly stole to second. Stadllle work- ed hurler Vcsey for a walk and Ken- ney cracked the pellet to the palii'igs ia rlsht, scoring Brennan pn<i. adviinc- ing Stadllle to third. Then Kennedy .stole.
With one gone, the score tied, and a Huzzer perched on second -and third, .Mr. Meek came to bat. ; Pitcher Vesey looked worried. Manager Nick hurried in and a highbrow conference took place on the mound, while the' ncw- tremcndously-excited multitude waited impatient. It was flnally dodded by the eminent tacticians that Mr. Meek should be allowed free, transportation to the initial sack, and, forthwith, he was purposely walked, amid the jeers of the electorate.
The l>ags were all furnished when Mr. Weed came up with his stick. He hit safe over AVilllams, who mL^Judged the fly. and Stadllle scored. Two runs, and the begs still .all decorated. Than. Keller tapped the pill to the fence. Hcoring Kennedy, and Meek, thimdcring irlong like an Irrlwaddy elephant break- ing through the jungle, tried to follow, (inly to be flagged near the platter. Thu.s the contest was won. Tba Xarly Stage* When the struKglo began lh^re v.-as indeed winter nn the wold. Spcas and t^ruikshani^ were lnjlii «'aii\tjd «— ic* »■ riOS hit sefp, filling the bags. Then Smith laid down a scratcii infield hit, which Wilson iflelded so slow that Spcas cross- ed the plate and Smith was safe. With none away, one run In, end the bags ail ornamented, Nick AVilliams choKo. a club. He struck out. Moore did like- wise, and Kennedy ended the business by grabbing Kibble's long fly.
With grim determination marking I heir vlsaxea the Bees came up to. get back that run — and th^y did. Brennan bit hard, bounding the pill ngnln.it the fence, Stadllle sacrificed him along, and then Kennedy tapped the spherule to the palings, scoring Brennan. Thus honors were even.
Tho Pippins took nnoih'^r in the .sef- ond. Coltrln got a hit of the .scratch kind and after VpHc.f fanneil. Si>eas was walked. Then Crulkfihank hit a liner to' Rawling.s who threw quick to Keller catching Spcas diving for that -stHtlon and Keller pegged wild to first trying to double Crulkshnnk, the ball landing (in the runner's no«e una breaking tt. While he rolled over on tlie turf wit)) blood spattering over his fiTcc Coltrln scored. Cruikshank was then carried out. and Harris, who replaced him. stole xetond and Fries' hit Hdvanci?d him to third, where he died when Keller made A flne running catch of Smith's high drive.
Thereafter, to the seventh, only 7,ern.i< were hung on the score board. In the third Kelelr made another circus catch, amid jt'eat applause. In the nfth the T'Ipplna filled the bags with two gone, but faat fielding etopp^d ei ecore. Then

Riga, Russia, to Dr. S. Tarrasch, of Nuremburg, the German champion. It appears that Dr. Tarrasch, evidently smarting under the defeat he-had sus- tained recently at the hands ot Xlem- zowitsch at San Sebastian, w-here the latter employed a variation previously ndemned by his opponent, later criti- Sed the Kus,slan har.shly for his habit of adopting eccentric openings and "ugiy" ni'jves 111 ijiutri' in get iiio* ad- versaries out of the books, utterly re- gardless of the fact that Niemzowitsch tied for second prize in the Spanish tournament and came within an ace of winning first. NlemKowltsch retaliated by challenging the Gernian veteran to set a match for stakes to be namftd by Dr. Tarrasch and offered to play throughout the black side of the Phili- dor defense along the lines made fam- ous 'by Major Hanham, and which Dr. Tarrasch liad so harshly condemned. Thus far Dr. Tarrasch haa not accept- ed.
