from it in many days.The encounter is said to have occurred on the Sea of Polities which is subject to severe storms and obnoxious winds at this time of the year.XX HO X THIS man Godfrey, whom the citizens e ected a member of the Board of Control a year or xo ago, hus a queer conception of the duties of a controller, So far as l can learn he has not given a single interview to the papers since he was elected, neither has his name appeared to any extent in the daily press.He seems to have devoted his time to working and sawing wood, just the same as he would do if hired by a ; private

first time that papers have mysteriously disappeared from the archives of the City Hall.Usually , they are papers incriminating some official of the city Government.Wouldn't it be well for the Controllers to employ a private detective to guard against such occurrences?It is perfectly absurd that any city official should be deprived of a chance to vindicate his official character by the loss of the paltry \u201cpapers.\u201d | x # # * INNIPEG claims to be the possessor of the largest Union Jack in the Dominion of Canada, { one hundred feet by thirty-three.It is being used to \u201cdrape

of general seeretary of the Montreal Y MLC ALL after almost forty years of continuous serv ce, is mitigated by the knowledge that Mr, Budge will still serve the Association in an advisory capacity.I venture to say that no man in all Montreal has exerted a greater influence for good in this community during these forty years than Mr Budge.He hus seen the institution, of which he has been the gud ng spirit, grow from insign ficant proportions to its present command-! ing position.Thousands upon thousands of young men owe to him the tribute due a needed guide, philosopher and friend.1 join with

be hoped that the conviction of the Stadium Company for violation of the Lord's Day Act.in keeping open the Forum skating rink on Sunday, will be followed by a prompt appeal to a higher court and an equally prompt jud tment, in order that we may learn just where we stand on this question of Sunday amusements.If it is against the law to open a place of amusement on Sunday we ought to know it.And the owners of the places of amusements ought to know it.Furthermore, the law, once it is determined, should be enforced indiscriminately and impartially upon all, and not, as it has been in the past, be made a means of , discrimination and injustice.If a sufficient body of public opinion in Montreal approves of the opening of places of amusement on Sunday, about which there Lect's decision being

stentorian headline, not to the dis- ) appearance of a personality, hut to the fact that the stock market remained unruffed.A world stood with bowed head at the passing of this private citizen of the United States, but the reason for the bower] head was that the eves were fixed on the tape, The deceased financier possessed greater wealth and greater power than many a hereditary monarch of the first rank, but he did not possess the love of the people.It would be going too far to say that he was unpopular at the time of his death.Bitterly as he was assailed in the high days of magnate-baiting in the first ten ye irs of this century, he had fought his way to a certain frirness of toleration in the public mind.But, apart from his wealth, the qualities which distinguished him from other men were not of a kind to stir publie sympathy or admiration in any way.The nature of his work will be better understood a generation or so later; America has about decided that the opinion formed of it during the muck-raking period was erroneous, but has not yet substituted another one.When it is understood, it will probably be admired, but its author will not be commemorated by any national memorial.Opinion about the great money-barons of America is in a curious state of flux and indecision.It is within the bounds of possibility that Rockefeller, once the most bitterly hated man on the continent, may be a popular hero when he dies; his golf-playing, his accessibility to reporters, and his amiable aphorisms upon the conduct of life are caleulated to excite a real though not very lasting sympathy.Carnegie, his life-story marred by the inextinguishable picture of the Homestead riots, is no longer hated, and has allied himself so dexterously with the educational powers of the continent that he may in the end have popularity conferred upon him like an honorary degree.These men are the salient survivors from the period of savage and chaotic fighting which marked the rise of the new industrial and financial system.We are in rather calmer waters now, and we are beginning to realise that the Morgans, Rockefellers and Carnegies were in a great measure the roduct of their circumstances.In Canada, happily, atred of the rich because of their riches is unknown.Perhaps, because our millionaires are but newly sprung from the ranks and have not attained the glamour which surrounds the multi-millionaires of the republic.* x #* #* O'R local suffragette friends should avoid these mock debates in which, for lack of any real opponent with courage enough to stand up against them, they put up one of their own side to 1e that female suffrage is NOT just, desirable, equitable, expedient and necessary.Mrs.F.Minden Cole undertook that painful task at stich a debate last week, and she argued much too well.One of the arguments which she brought forward is an argument which, although it is seldom advanced publicly by the opponents of equal suffrage in this part of the world, and y would not have been advanced by Mr.Cole had she been seriously trying to obstruct the cause of Votes for Women, is nevertheless calculated to make a deep impression upon many male electors\u2014who are the the city owns, should be kept free from such excrescence towards getting the law changed.in the event of Judge people who at the present time govern this Dominion i 2 and will therefore have the real task of deciding whether | their wives and sisters shall vote or not.| The point in Mrs.Cole\u2019s address to which I am | alluding is the claim that, women being notoriously | more amenable to the influences of organised religion | than men, the extension of the suffrage would involve an immense increase in the amount of clerical influence | in politics\u2014an influence which the majority of male, voters probably incline to distrust.It is an argument | which the suffragists will have a great deal of difficulty in answering\u2014which in fact they will usually elect not to answer but to cdmit, endeavoring to vitiate its force with the claim that if women are more religious, more orthodox, more \u201cclericalist\u201d than men, the fact does not alter their right to give expression to their tendencies ify the government of the community; that when question | of justice and moral right is at stake one must of consider consequences even though the heavens fall; and! finally, that no partieular harm will be done to, the community if its government does become a trifle more religious or a trifle more *\u2018clericalist\u2019 AU of which may be perfectly true, but will not in the least mitigate the reluctance of those males who conceive of women as sentimental and dreamy creatures, profoundly ignorant of, the real problems of life, and unduly swayed in the judging of them by priest, ministeis, ¢ vangelists pre- fessional moralists and Surtdäy-Schoof teachers.x Fk #% x : A question is too 1 Province, because it is concerned wholly with the Roman Catholic population as distinguished from the Pro-' The ex-i - testant.There could be no greater error.tension of the suffrage to women would prebably make.less difference among the French-Canadian electors than .in any other part of the community, for the excellent reason that the male French=Canadian elector is just as amenable to the influences of organised religion as are his women-folk.There has been no such drift in Quebec of the male half of the population away from church-going and belief as there has in France, and in the Protestant communities of this continent and England.Whatever effect might be produced in Canada by equalization of suffrage, in the direction of increasing the power of organised religion, would be felt far more in Ontario than in Quebec.However, all this is aside from the main point.The average fallible male mortal is painfully aware of his own shortcomings from the standard of the Ten Com- , mandments, the Westminster Confession, the Thirty- Nine Articles and the Rule on Amusements; he has an idea that the view of life cherished by the ministers of organised religion is altogether too strenuous and exacting for ordinary purposes and ordinary persons and should not be too extensively enacted into the law of the land; and if he once comes to the conclusion that the embattled women voters of his country are going to back up the ministers of religion in their efforts to make him righteous by Act of Parliament, he will hesitate long before letting them do it.In a word, Mrs.Cole put up an argument which will impress him rather strongly.OF course things will not in the long run be as bad as he expects.If it is true that women have an unduly exalted ideal of the standard of conduct which people of both sexes should act up to (we do not say that they have.) then clearly that exaltation is largely the result of the sheltered life which they have led, and will be reduced to a sane level soon after they begin to participate in the full functions of citizenship\u2014 including jury duty, police work and attendance at political meetings, all of which are ealeulated to undermine the robustest of ideals.If women have devoted themselves more than men to the activities of religion, and have followed more than men the leadership of the clergy, it is because they have been kept out of the activities of business and the state and have been consistently neglected by the leaders in those departments of human life.Fifty years after women have assumed full citizenship men will wonder how they ever supposed that there was any fundamental political difference between the sexes.x Ke XEN HERE is one excellent thing about the Navy discussion.As a confirmed optimist I am rather proud of finding even one excellent thing about a performance which has been so universally execrated.The discussion has compelled every Canadian with a shred of self-respect to stop and think for himself about the two questions: What ix the chief peril that the British Empire has to face by sea?and How can it best be met?For even the Liberal policy is dictated by the situation of the British Empire, or by the determination of the Conservatives to improve the situation of the British Empire.which comes to the same thing.It is all right for the Liberals to call it a Canadian policy, but the fact remains that Canada, taken ba herself.no more requires two fleet units than she does two Premiers, and the assumption that Canada must do something for the Empire is at the basis of both Borden's and Laurier's roposals.That being so, we have had to consider how that \u2018something for the Empire\u2019 can best be done: and the considering is tremendously good for us.It takes us out of our own purely money-getting affairs into a world that ix entirely new to most Canadians\u2014as new ax was to the Americans the world into which they plunged with the Spanish War\u2014the world of international rivalries and balancing of power.We have been living.as the Americans had, to ourselves alone; and some of us seem to be just as reluctant to get out into the maelstrom ax some of the Americans were, We have had to consider the painful and sobering fact that it may some day he necessary for us, in the preservation of our lives, our libertien and our association with the ancient land which gave us birth, to blow out of existence the war-vessels or forts of some other nation, and that we ought to be ready to do it effectively.And because a dispute hax arisen among our own politicians as to the proper way of doing it.we are having to consider for ourselves the whole art and science of marine warfare and international polities.If the Borden proposals had gone through on greased rollers, so to speak, we might have thought very little about it have merely realised that we were doing something that the British Admiralty wanted done and that perhaps we ought to have done long ago.without just knowing why it had tobe done that way.Sir Wilfrid Laurier has put the question of the METHOD of marine defence squarely before the people of Canada and compelled them to think about it.and about the appalling complications of national jealousies and hatreds and conflicting interests which make it necessary.The rounter-proposal by which he has raised this question may not be a very good one.some of the arguments by which it has been supported are very bad.But, on the whole perhaps, (\u2018anadiane should not be sorry that the question was rained.There will never again be quite no much monumental folly and ignorance shout naval matters exhibited in a Canadian House of (Commons as there was last month.CADILLAC.x # OH # » 0} GOOD many people are apt to conclude that this

have been considering plans for starting Canadian yards for the construction of hig ships have abandoned the ides as impracticable.Mr.GG.B.Hunter, chairman of the firm of Swan and Hunter, who recently visited Canada extremely anxious to lay down ship-yards for the construction of Dreadnoughts, declares in the Westminster Gazette, that any Canadian bonuses would have to be very heavy and permanent to ensble ship-builders to recoup themselves for the very large expenditure.In fact.the high complexity of warships of the latest type, dependent as they are upon elaborately organized trades, was

in London A Weekly Causerie.(From Our Own Correspondent.) Lonnon, March 22nd.THE London press has Leeu very perturbed during the past week over the Naval Debate at Ottawa and the publication in & White Paper of Mr.Churchill's correspondence with Mr.Borden caused a three days\u2019 sensation.The leader writers of every daily and weekly paper have been making their ex-cathedra statements on the subject and the sum total of their utterinzs is a warm defense of Mr.Churchill.From the dignified stand point of the conservative * Times,\u201d which fails to find any of that political character in the letters which has been eriticised at Ottawa\u2014to the more outspoken criticism of \u2018The World\" which begins,\u2018\u2018 Really the Liberal Opposition in Canada ought to have its ears boxed,\u201d they are of one accord in | liberating Mr.Churchill from all blame in the matter and 'reviling, guardedly or openly as the case may be, the | attitude of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his party.ake it as vou may, the average Englishman knows little and cares jess about the polities of any country but his own.He may be the most rabid partisan in home polities\u2014but he instinctively denies even his foreign rivals the right to political differences\u2014instance his attitude to the French Assembly, which he can never bring himself to take seriously, but pictures always as a burlesque parliament, the members of which slap each others\u2019 faces and engage \u2018in mock duels.So the general attitude of the press, \"which in this case certainly reflects the general attitude of the country.is that the Opposition has been interfering | with and obstructing, for some reason best known to themselves, a scheme by which our Imperial navy would | benefit to the extent of three dreadnoughts, therefore {they have been thrusting party before the defences of the Empire, which is contrary to the spirit (though not always to the le ai or) of British politics.As can easily be \u2018judged, English criticism of Canadian parliamentary I 'proceedings, while taking a very lofty standpoint,is not very understanding or far-reaching, and need not be {taken too seriously.To the Englishman the whole incident has afforded one unusual and amusing spectacle, i that of the Conservative press spreading its wings to (shelter their erring child, now the scapegoat of Mri Asquith\u2019s ministry, Mr.Winston Churchill.* | Easter is upon us and several Canadians who have been i staying in London have been caught up in the general | exodus and have left for the sea or the continent.Among i these is Mr.(.R.Hosmer who has gone to stay at Nice [ for a short time.During his stay in London, Mr.Hosmer | submitted to at least one interview (in the London \u2018\u2019Stan- , dard\u201d), when he set at rest many of those prevailing \"doubts which are always exercising the minds of English ; financiers and investors.On the subject of bad harvests { and their probable effect on Canadian credit sr.Hosmer | gave it as his opinion that the country was becoming less \u2018and less at the merey of bad harvests, that the wheat | average was expanding so rapidly as to lend much stability \"to the general situation, that the gradual growth of mixed | farming would haveitseffectin counterbalancing the possible failure of the wheat harvest.In the matter of land speculation Mr.Hosmer gave it as his opinion that, except in the case of town sites, speculation in agricultural jland had not been at all excessive and il it had existed, \"it had been mainly on the part of English people, to whom i the land craze appeals.He also expressed himself em- | phatically with regard to the charge of overborrowing requently made against Canada in the London market., This, he said, in view of the rapidly increasing wealth and population, was an unfounded accusation; \u2014there ; were & smaller proportion of unsatisfactory issues made in Canada than in any other country and this could not - be the case were Canada overborrowing.The prosperity of Canada, he said, would continue.It was in fact increasing every year.There is in certain circles in London, a growing feeling that Canada\u2019s abounding progress, will in the order of things, suffer a temporary collapse and that, at that time, those British investors who have plunged deeply will find themselves in a precarious position.Mr.Hosmer crystallised his views on this point in one sentence \u2018Canada may hesitate - but it will not go back.\u201d x # HK Among those distinguished Canadians who have recently become Fellows of the Royal Colonial Institute are Hin Hon.Chief Justice Haultain, and Mr.Auguste Lemieux, K.C.The membership of this excellent institution is rapidly increasing -and further steps are being taken to enlarge its usefulness and attract even more members.A rule has recently been passed by which gentlemen as well as ladies are eligible for eleetion as Associates in the United Kingdom on payment of a sub- seription of £1 per annum.The idea of this innovation is to increase the efficieney of the Institute by attractin a large body of public opinion to aid it in its Imperia work.The value of the Institute as an Imperial centre has long been proved and many Canadians in London have found that the use of its comfortable premises was an ample repayment for their annual subscription.Mr.Buoux, the energetic seeretary, who made a tour of Canada last year, in search of members, is this year touring South Africa on the same quest.x #0 #4 À On April 23rd a service is to be held in the Chapel of the Order of St.Michael and St.George in 8t.Paul's (Cathedral in celebration of St.George's Day.The chapel will be reserved for members of the order who will attend either in court dress or uniform.The service will include the taking down of the hanner of a deceased Knight Grand Cross and also the affixing of a banner, with the i accustomed ceremonial, It would be unlikely if several Canadian members of the order were not present at this function.One of the most popular members of Anglo- ! Canadian Society is Mr.J.(i.Colmer, C.M.G., at one time connected with the High Commissioner's department -and now à partner in the well known stock-hroking firm of Contes & Son which floats many Canadian loans in London.Mr.Colmer arranges the dinners of the Canada Club, of which he is the secretary and is a prominent figure at every Anglo-Canadian function.* * # Other items of news are that Lord and Lady William Cecil have left on a visit to Canada;

there were no baby- haters in the world.At least, I never met any in my little world.I was taught to speak when I was spoken to.I was told that it was the duty of children to be seen and not heard.When I was naughty | was caned, and if | had been caned more frequently and more vigorously | might not have grown naughtier and naughtier.those days there were no baby-haters.It is odd that there are so many baby-haters now.One meets them everywhere.Baby-hating is an epidemic.Canes have gone out of fashion.Most children now grow up without seeing one.But it strikes me as being curious that in the cane-age babies were loved, and that now when the cane is nearly as obsolete as the cat they are hated.It never occurred to us when we were caned that we were not loved.It dues occur to many childern to-day who are not caned that they are not loved.There are many children who would be grateful if they were caned.It would be to them a sign of affection.At any rate, it would prove that their parents had not altogether forgotten their existence.Before you cane a child you must at least take the trouble to interest yourself in its life.if only in its misbehaviour.x x X RH D° not imagine that 1 am pleading for a renascence of whipping in the nursery.1 do not believe in caning for children or flogging for men.But 1 do say that caning is better than cold and calculated indifference, and that a child would be happier with a caning parent than with a callous parent.After a caning there is usually a great explosion of tenderness on the part of both the caner and the canee.The mother lavishes her love upon the weeping infant, and the infant often gets more real joy out of one thrashing than out of months of neglect.The caning may not do much good tu the child, but it does a lot of good to the mother.It stirs up her conscience.It braces her sense of responsibility.It leads her to make good resolutions.After caning a child a mother cannot go away and forget the child for weeks at a time.Remorse is good for mothers.The modern baby-hater never feels the salutary sting of remorse.She plans her life so as to avoid the inconvenience of maternal love.It is not easy to exterminate the motherly instinets.They will break out in the hardest hearts, and they are not readily tamed.That is why the baby-haters keep their children at arm's length, trusting to their hirelings to preserve them from the peril of impulsive nature.Children are not like flowers: they can be trained to grow without the sunlight of love.They can be thrust into the darkness of a hygienic nursery where they are brought up on artificial food in an atmosphere of care without tenderness, health without happiness.x KO X Xx THs tragedy happens in the homes of the rich, not in the homes of the poor.The children of the poor suffer in many ways, but they do not often suffer from the starvation of the heart.Their bodies may be ricketty, but their souls are not.They may be dirty, but they are at least dear.There is probably more unhappiness in the nurseries of the wealthy than in the rookeries of the poor.If a woman is a baby-hater her children are unhappy, no matter how much money is wasted upon their upbringing.All the latest appliances cannot make up for the sweet, low laugh of the mother.You cannot buy love at the shops.The cause of baby-hating is the passion for pleasure.The woman who gives herself up to the business of enjoying herself cannot find time to make the acquaintance of her children.They are strangers in her house.She is afraid to encourage them to know her better, for a child is not easily satisfied if it once acquires the habit of being fond of its mother.Its appetite for love grows with eating.If it gets an inch it demands an ¢ll.Even a daily half- hour in the nursery is not without its dangers, for the child will ask for more.The only safe course for the baby- hater is à system of complete boycotting.x %* x # THEKE are many homes in which children are always in the way.A cat can curl itself up on a cushion and ask for nothing but to be let alone.A pet lap-dog can snore without interrupting conversation.But a child must be all or nothing.If it is in a room it positively insists upon being treated as if it were a human being.This fatal egoism of childhood annoys the child-hater with her elaborate mosaic of habits that cover every day.She cannot work the child into her frenzied frivolity.If it were a plastic toy like a Pekinese, it might be tolerated.But it is not canine in its docility.It is hungry for the very things that its mother has not time to give it.These baby-haters do not conceal their views, The) tell you candidly that children are a nuisance, and that tney cannot stand tLem.They are the new mothers of the twentieth century.They are very nice people when you meet them and talk to them.They appear to be having a good time.They seem to be enjoying life.But they glory in their lack of sentiment.They pride themselves on their commonsense.They tell you that they are practical.But they are hard at the core, and they bring up their children to be as hard as themselves.The new child is nearly as tough as the new mother.It has been desentimentalised from its birth.* % x % HE new mothers are quite free from the charming softness and sweetness that used to be associated with motherhood, and they try to eliminate all the softness and sweetness from their daughters.They generally succeed, and they justify their system by telling you that it saves trouble later.It is not easy to break a hard heart, and the harder the heart is to begin with the better.Perhaps that is why sentiment is almost obsolete on the stage.There is no tendurness in any modern playwright since Barrie.Hard hearts to-day ure

among a few enthusiasts in Europe and in the United States.who were work- | ing towards uplifting photography, and who, full of belief in the possibilities of their craft, aimed, by study and by training at making their prints a medium of personal expression; thereby appealing to the cultivated judgment, as truly pictures.But apart from an exhibi-' tion of pictorial photographs, mostly from abroad, held at the Art Gallery in Montreal about three years ago, | and another exhibition of most interesting prints, brought , over from Europe.and arranged by the directors of the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto, 1 had never: known that the movement had reached us, and that (Canadians had attained the artistic height of photography.until one day while passing along St.Catherine street, I was attracted by a single photograph in an Italian frame placed at the entrance of an uptown building.It was so unpretentious, only one photograph\u2014yet no one with discernment could pass by and not notice the originality, the composition, and the technique of this picture, three points by which works of art are judged and are admitted to the \u2018\u2019salon,\u201d in Paris.It was a temptation to see more.1 ventured up the elevator as directed by the discreet sign at the door, and found myself in an ideal studio.There was nothing to jar the sensibilities in the colour scheme, tones of browns and dull blues, a few rugs, pieces of pottery and bits of antique furniture, all simple and unpretentious; a piano standing open with a copy of \u2018La Boheme™ upon the ~ Portrait of Forbes Robertson treated in an unconventional manner yet bringing out strength of personality musie rack, books and a few prints from the old masters the whole forming a most artistic surrounding.| looked in vain for the old fashioned sky-light.with its many curtains and net-werk of wires and strings, and was amazed to hear that these portraits were made by the light of ordinary windows.These overlooking the gardens of one of Montreal's most beautiful residences, add charm to the interior of the studio.Upon the walls, pictorial photographs which at first glance could be taken for copies from the old masters, such as Rembrandt's or Franz Hals'.That of a young girl reminded one of Leonardo da Vinci's \u2018\u201c Mona Lisa; one of à middle-aged weman brought Whistler's ** mother\u201d to the ind; then a few nudes taken as bas-reliefs and medalions, one would believe were from Greek subjects, Beautiful pictures of beautiful women, of typical looking men and of lovely children, having the rich quality in tone and spacirg of the old Venetian masters.Amongst them were readily recognized some well known personalities of the day, who had come to this studio: Princess Patricia of Connaught.Lord Grey, our former Governor General and Countess Grey, Forbes Robertson (this picture was accepted and hung at the London Photographie Salon.1910): Frederie Villiers.the eminent war correspondent and artist: Suzor-Cote, \u2018our Canadian artist.and many other distinguished patrons.All this was quite à revelation to me, and through the courtesy of Mr.Walter Mackenzie and of Mr.Feawick Cutten, hoth eager to gratify my curiosity.1 had the pleasure of looking over and examining many of their picture photo- in the London | from erities.A Canadian Boy.\u2014 Portrait bu Salon, 1012, which received much Portrait of Girl.\u2014A photographic study which is remarkable for its resemblance to Leonardo da Vinci's celebrated Mona Lisagraphs, amongst which there is not one in which genuine artistic feeling fails to appear.Their pictures while faithfully portraying the features, have caught something of the inner personality, and in many cases the expression of the most refined and persuasive qualities of the sitter's character.Their portraits have individuality; it is evident that their handling of light and shadows bring out character in the face, and that by attention to details they give exquisite pose to the figure, the lean of the head and expression to the hands, thus succeeding in making their photographs pictures.Besides being a good likeness a portrait can he a beautiful picture, and one is often inclined to believe that in many cases the photographer succeeds more often than the painter.To become an advanced photographer demands an artistic temperament and training, it involves a large expenditure of time and labour, he must, as the painter, infuse individuality into his pietures, making them express his own personal conception of beauty.Generally you will find that as in the case of painters, vou easily recognize the photographie pictures of so and so, in that the work of one artist differs from that of another.If the photographer has an artistic individuality and the equipment of an artist, he can produce work.which barring colours, has all the characteristics of a beautiful picture.He must understand the laws of composition and acquire technical knowledge.In addition there must be the instinctive sense of what is beautiful in line and form and colour.which is only developed by This portrait of a young girl is a quaint child study which strongly suggests the work of the old Dutch Masters, study and by the natural gift of imagination.which conceives à beautiful subject and uses technique and instinet to express it.What constitutes an artistic photograph is not the craft alone, but the skill and feeling of the worker which transmutes the result and makes it à work of art, as in painting it in not the mediums used, but the genius of the master and the feeling put into it which gives us the masterpiece.The sitter has à large share in determining the result, he should be one with the artist as to the ends in view, and be guided hy him in the choice of dress and accessories, The dress -ah\u2019' how important a consideration; it should be as à frame to a picture, unobtrusive; a bit of lace.a piece of fur.which lend poetry to \u201cl'ensemble,\u201d are more effective than a fashionable gown which usually has stiff and unyielding lines.Each and every une of these points has its share in contributing to the beauty of the portrait.and they are precisely the points which are ignored alike by the public and by the conventional photographer.The photographs illustrating this article are

but if ignorant women get the vote this will not reduce the death-rate.The speaker suggested that before the vote be given to the women of Quebee the facilities for education should be improved.Mrs.Rose Henderson called for the vote for the women of Quebee fur the reason that women were human beings and had a right to justice.Even if some of the women of the province were ignorant was that any reason why they should be penalized?Was progress made by doi so?It had heen stated that women were \u2018parasites\u2019 and therefore unfit to meddle in polities.This was utterly untrue.Ninety-five per cent.of the women were workers, cither out in the world or engaged in financing a home.If women are capable of doing this, surely they are capable of making the laws.It had been suggested that a partial suffrage might he granted but, in the speaker's opinion, cultured women should refuse to accept liberty while their sisters were in slavery.It was said that women were not capable of solidarity.Well, here was à chance for them to show solidarity; to show the world that women are one and that what affects one affects all.As regards education, in the Province of Quebec the women are better educated than the men, for the reason that girls remain in their schools and convents whilst boys have to begin to earn their living at an earlier age.Mrs, Fenwick Williams, whose suffragist sympathies are well known, amused her hearers very much by obligingly speaking on the opposite side for the ocoasion and supporting Mrs.Minden (Cole.Her speech was an amusing skit on several rather well-wurn reasons for refusing the suffrage to women.PARODY ON A POST IMPRESSIONIST POEM.The burdened streetcar A motor murmured a 1004 shrieks.The public prared for weeks and weeks, le small and few, Pull.futile grew, That motiry crew.the path to Hell.Terpid.terrestrial.torn with dr a ns and slick or macy.The Cracharjeck Entwines his hack Amid the corpse and pelle.O sagre of Lhe bortored halt, ares Docs Wilkam o , aft, O horrid hate.Of friend add fate, cu \u2014 - ARID OF AT >> THE SATURDAY MIRROR, MONTREAL, APRIL 5, 1913.Think = | The Feminist \u201cI confess myself altogether feminist.\" \u2014H.G.Wells.Edited by FRANCES FENWICK WILLIAMS + + + A Twentieth Century Woman\u2019s Page +++ TEXT FOR THE DAY.\u2018In attempting to draw a parallel between the human species and the lower animals you have adop a line of argument which * * * can only be attribut to the valour of ignorance.\u201d\"\u2014An Unknown Correspondent.Y unknown correspondent also says that \u2018\u2018even a woman who presumes to write upon this subject ought to know,\u201d ete., ete., and proceeds to regale me with some racing news.of ignorance,\u201d as above.Let me confess at once that I am ignorant of racing and of racing rules.I was not touching in my \u2018\u2018sermonette\u2019 on the regulations of the stud; I wasreferring to certain well-known facts which must be as well-known to my correspondent as to me.I asked whether anyone ever stopped to think whether a mare or a horse had won the Derby, or to express amazement at the fact of a horse being outstripped by a mare?Does anyone ?Do racing men ?I know very few, but the few I know seem to think it quite natural that a mare should beat a horse in a race; as natural as that a girl should win a school-prize from a boy.They only think it unnatural that a woman should vote as wisely as a man because they are not accustomed to the idea of women voting.They do not think it unnatural that a woman should govern as well as a man because they are accustomed to the idea of women governing.I also asked if anyone had ever heard of a dog fancier asking more for a male than for a female terrier on the ground that the former, being a male, was possessed of greater mental force ?Has anyone heard of such a request ?I did not say that males never fetched a higher price than females because that would have been untrue.1, asked whether a higher price was asked He says : on the ground of intellect.that he is unable to imagine such a brainstorm.Well, so am I! I never, as I said, suggested that males might not fetch a higher price than females.They usually do.Under some circumstances females are more costly, because rarer.That is merely a question of supply and demand.1 do not see what it has to do with the matter.My question was, \u2018Have you ever heard of a dog fancier asking a higher price for a male than for a female terrier on the! ground of intelleet ?\u201d 1 have not.Apparently my somewhat agitated correspondent has not, either.then, that ends the matter.* HK #% But this sermonette must be devoted to stating in plain language some biological facts which are evidently quite unknown to my correspondent.1 quote from his letter: \u201cIf you are permitted to manufacture your facts it may serve your purpose, but if you take them as they are | 1 am afraid you will find them of the nature of a boomerang, and that their evidence is positively annihilating to your contention of sex equality.\u201d 1 do not think that I ever mentioned \u201csex equality.\u201d I do not believe that there is any such thing as sex equality.Biologically, of course, the female is so He also alludes to the \u2018* valour!
