MR. BALDWIN'S VICTORY The wolf pack tactics of the newspaper peers In Great Britain have definitely failed. Mr. Baldwin, who is slow to anger but mighty In combat, holds unquestioned authority as Conservative party leader. In their newspapers, la by elections and finally In a party caucus Barons Beaverbrook and Rothcrmere have essayed to pull him down, but without success.

In the process they have abused the power ownership gives them. They have ought to stampede the electorate In several constituencies. They have intrigued and conspired within the parly ranks to destroy a capable and strong party leader. They have met with failure after failure. Even the Pad dington result announced today Is a victory decidedly qualified by the weakness ol the official Conservative candidate, who tried to be all things to all men.

It Is strange but true that they have also met with striking success so far as the proper use of their newspaper power goes'. They have undoubtedly succeeded tn arousing Interest among great masses of the British people In the development of Empire trade. That is a legitimate function of the newspaper, and in that they have scored. It is only where they overstepped the line and sought to assume a dictatorship that they met defeat. Mr.

Baldwin's leadership may not be ideal In all respects, but the complete history of it should be considered. Long ago a thorough con vert to the policy of Imperial preferences, he was for years in advance not only of the electorate generally but of his own party. When he le accused now of failure to take a strong position, that fact should not be forgotten. Lord Beaverbrook was not the first man to discover the Empire. It should not he forgotten cither that Mr.

Baldwin Is at present an opposition leader. It is not his responsibility, at the moment, to volve detailed policies and programs. He has heartily endorsed Mr. Bennett's speech at the Imperial Conference and announced his re sewed support of the policy of Empire preferences. Further than that he has no need to go at the moment.

There are no real indications that his party lacks confidence in his leadership. It was sought to pull him down because he refuses to do lip homage to the cause of Empire free 'trade, which Is merely nn empty phrase. From the rst It has been evident that the strength of the Conservative party was behind him. The best efforts of the newspaper barons failed to produce any real threat to his leadership. The Conservatives have gone solidly on record as preferring him to the dictatorship of Beaverbrook and Rothermere.

That Is the highly satisfactory outcome of yesterday's caucus satisfactory both as It advances the cause of Empire preferences and sound Mr. Baldwin Isn't experiencing the dull times so prevalent Just now. HOLDING VV IJANKS The practice of holding up banks is becoming altogether too common In what we have been proud to regard as a country where crime is prbmptly and effectively curbed. At least halt a dozen times In the past fortnight reports have been made of successful bank hold ups successful at least to the extent that the hold up men secured large sums of money and escaped for the time being. In some Instances they were captured later.

In practically all cases the procedure is similar. Armed men enter the bank, threaten the staff, scoop up what money is readily available, and are away in automobiles before the alarm is given. As a rule there is no resistance. The police are notified when the robbers are out of the way, and are confronted with the difficult Job of tracing and Identifying unknown criminals. It Is too easy, unquestionably.

Vigorous measures are essential If the Canadian record for curbing and punishing crime is to be maintained. The growing list of successful hold ups acts as an Invitation to experienced criminals In the United States to extend their field of operations to Canada. Clearly something must be done to check It. The weak point, from the standpoint of the tasks, Is that they cannot ask their employes to KCiifice their lives to protect the money in their charge. A life is worth more than the few thousand dollars in a cashier's cage.

That is why the hold up practice flourishes. There is. however, a corresponding weak point in the tactics of the hold up men. Their success depends on preventing notice being given outside the bank that it is being held up for the few minutes necessary for their work in the bank and their getaway. Most of the larger banks are equipped with devices that make it possible to notify the police without the knowledge of hold up men apparently in full command of the situation.

Surely It is possible also to equip the smaller branches in such a way that a police signal could be sounded without detection under the very eyes of the gunmen. If they were so equipped the Idea of holding up banks would quickly lose its present appeal. It is a duty the banks owe the public. Along with this goes the need of recognizing the fact that nn armed hold up man is a potential murderer, to be treated as such in the courts. There are indications that this recognition is extending to the courts all over the country.

It will help in establishing that holding up banks in Canada is not a healthful business. In his capacity as leading man In the political version of "Through the Breakers," Mr. Baldwin won much applause and confounded his critics. STREET RAILWAY PURCHASE The special committee of aldermen appointed to consider the transportation problem will, it is said, notify the street railway company of the city's intention to take over the traction utility next year. Such an action would be premature and dangerous.

There are a great many things to be discussed aiid inquired into before this notice is even to be considered. No more serious error, from the city's standpoint, could be made than to rush to the company with such notice of intention. The city, and especially the ratepayers, may be willing to consider purchase of the street railway if the property can be obtained at a price that would make it, in the city's hands, self sustaining. That remains to be seen. Meantime there Is not the slightest indication that the company would be willing to sell it at such a price, and there is nothing gained by approaching the company at all until the city has considered, first, whether It wants the utility at all, and, secondly, what it could afford to pay for It.

There need be no thought of an arbitrated price. That Is a morass in which the city would most certainly come to grief. Lord Beaverbrook has been spared the smile, usually associated with the face of tiger on a certain occasion. UR. VARGAS' PROGRAM Reassuring is the declaration of Dr.

Gutileo Vargas, the provisional president of Brazil, that all contracts, especially foreign, entered into before the revolutionary outbreak will be respected. The Canadian controlled power corporation, operating in Rio, Sao Paula, Santos and environs, last year had a gross earning power of $50,000,000. It. of course, comes within the terms of the provisional president's utterance. And so well has Brazil always kept good faith in her international obligations that this Canadian as well as other foreign corporations have been given no special cause for anxiety.

It Is Illustrative of the confidence felt in Frazil in Dr. Vargas that the revolutionary outbreak, headed by him and his coadjutors, is the only one on record In which the revolutionists succeeded since the republic replaced the empire in the eighties. Th" well established injustice of the manner of Dr. Vargas" defeat for the presidency developed a three weeks' revolutionary struggle that makes his choice as president a prime factor of future tranquility. He is recognized as r.n able and respected leader, lnnglng to one of the leading families in Rio Grande do Sol.

Seven out of eleven of his predecessors in office have been chosen from two particular states, where again an attempt was temporarily carried out. as be fharges, to set up a domination of electoral tyranny and undemocratic autocracy. The struggle, since the election of Julio Prestes. has developed Into one of the population of the vast rural districts against a combination cf bureaucracy and privilege. Prestes has been set aside and Vargas la in power, pledged to a rystem of no favoritism, a reform of the franchise, the substitution of a secret ballot for the present open voting.

First the present federal Congress will be dissolved. Then elections will take place under the new system with state control at the polls. A "really republican form of government" is thus forecast by the provisional president, and a "proper ending of an oligarchy no longer to be tolerated." Though Dr. Vargas contends he was legally elected to and Illegally excluded from office in the last presidential election, he will seek a personal renewal of confidence at the polls under the reformed system now In process of preparation for the coming election. It's just as well to warn new aspirants for civic honors against a promising start of their careers.

BRAZIL'S HOT BLOOD From The Victoria ColnnM I The people of Brazil are of mixed races, nnd lie blood of the mixed races is also mixed. The population is what might be described as polyglot, both in lineage and tongue, but most of the people are of Latin descent, with a dilution of Indian blood. There are a few British in the lot, but not enough of them to leaven the lump and impose upon it the sacred principles of self dctermln tticn and the saving virtue of self government. When the people of Southern Europe apparently cannot adjust themselves to the principles of parliamentary institutions and appear to prefer personal rule to popular rule, what can be expected of their children In a country where the sun is as hot as their blood, and who would rather fight than vote? So there is going to be a war In Brazil, which will give us something to read about, find the war will probably be fierce and lgiret Sow WILLIAM CATER, fourteen times mayor of Brandon, a year or two before his first inauguration into the high civic office in the year 1913. My impression then was that here was a man possessed of rare personality, which of course meant individuality.

That first impression has grown and due confirmation of the wisdom thereof Is furnished by his public career ever since. Far from an austere man, he welcomes co operation, but at all times there seems to be that outstanding quality of thinking for himself, as well as giving Mayor Cater due consideration to the opinion of others. In other words be is generally regarded as a man of nction, highly trained in the school of experience in matters pertaining to government, primarily the civic side. A few days ago he penned an epistle to a member of the Bracken government, in which he introduced an ethical side to the controversy by closing a pungent paragraph with this expression: "What Is right must prevail." He added also, in connection with the government's attitude of withholding certain urgent moneys owing to Brandon In connection with unemployment relief: "It Is not British practice, as I know it, for one government to coerce or force another to do something whether it be right or wrong. To threaten Brandon and wave the big stick will not get you the money (municipal levy) or settle the question In doubt." And there is Harry Cater; said to hold the long term Canadian record as civic head of any Canadian city.

Sometimes he has had a fight on his hands for the mayoralty, and again he has been returned by acclamation. Last year there was no opposition at election time, this year he polled nearly 900 more votes than his opponent his largest majority and His Worship took the verdict, in his own words, as a "clear vindication of his stand on the non payment of the municipal commissioner's levy, and the financial administration of Brandon's affairs." Mayor Cater has taken special pleasure in telling the world that very few cities in Canada, or elsewhere, are In better shape in the matter of a sinking fund and finances generally than Brandon, and Brandon's position with regard to higher government levies Is that "If It can be shown before the courts of the land when a dispute occurs that Brandon owes money, then the money will be paid." The Bennett government had scarcely been in office a day before Mayor Cater was in communication with Ottawa by wiie setting forth the prospective requirements of his district In the matter of necessary public works and unemployment relief. He had real first hand knowledge of the meaning of work. Forty years ago he arrived In Brandon, and tpok a humble job at a dollar a day, half of the pay in butter and eggs. In 1893 he bought out the pump business of I.

H. Relsberry, and built it Into a prosperous industry. Since entering Brandon City Council in 1909 he was an alderman for four years he has championed many reforms. He fought for the extension of the Manitoba Hydro system, contending that Brandon should be the centre of distribution for the south western parts of the province. One hundred percent lor Hydro, he brooked no opposition to his plans.

Last year, his reputation for civic knowledge and service having gone atield, Mayor Cater was chosen president of the Union of Canadian Municipalities. Serving his city for many years, without salary or other remuneration, Mayor Catcr's answer was: "Brandon has given me all I possess, why should I not give Brandon the best public service I am capable of."

The Theatre By C. B. PYPER mV a letter to" the London Daily Express, Mr. Seymour Hicks says: "The theatre Is a trustworthy barometer.

It quickly registers the mood of the nation. Why do not the newspapers proclaim the revival of confidence In the theatiical world as the harbinger of a revival of confidence In the world of industry and commerce. "Four and twenty packed houses prove that the playhouse can here canned voirfs cannot. The summer of our discontent Is over, and Dame Thcspis Is no longei a Cinderella in rags, but a triumphant Portia In a new trousseau" It is not clear from the letter whether Mi Hicks means that his theatre has been pecked four and twenty nights or that four and twenty theatres have been drawing bin houses. In any case, his confidence will help to cheer all lovers of the theatre.

If this season should prove that the stage Is not dead It will be a memorable one. The opinion that the theatre Is a barometer In the sense Intended by him Is not universally held by theatrical people. A manager of a talking picture hotiso who has had much experience v. ith the legitimate drama said recently that the theatre did not, ns a rule, suffer in times of depression; that it was rather the other way round, as people turned eagerly to places of amusement where they could forget themselves and their worries for a tUne. This opinion Is similar to that held by baseball magnates In the United States, who lost year reiprd a bumper crop at the turnstiles.

In the discussion of the fate of the stage much hns been said of the cultural Influence of the theatre and its supporters have said, with iruth, that'll Affords entertainment of a kind that the more artificial airencies cannot give. There Is. however, another side of the question still, a side that does not seem to have been seriously considered. That Is the value of a theatre to a cltv In dollars and rents. This Is worth considering.

A well managed and prosperous theatre Is a real assel to a community. It Is a wonderful advertisement: It brings business and visitors, and it Provides, what may be perhaps bndly needed In the next lew months, rational amusement to keep up the morale of the people In times rw. p.

If serins again necessary to do so, in view ot the extraordinary attitude In which Premier Hertzog is now approaching the forthcoming Imperial Conference, with his demand for a declaration there granting to South Africa "The right to secede." Nothing Is more patent than the immensity of the rights involved. The Empire does not belong to any one body of men. but to each and nil of her citizens. Our title Is the sacrifices of all our forefathers, who all helped to build it up, and so each of us has nn Iralienablc right in every part of It.

The general constitution applies to all it. and its fundamental principle is the liberty of subjects (condltlon nhle only by reasonable restrictions). One branch of thut precious and inalienable liberty of the subject Is the right, to trade ami travel and take up residence in every part of it. subject to reasonable limits of public policy, health and order. The powen of a Dominion government or legislature do not extend to such a matter as taking awnv the liberties of any subject of the Empire, no matter how humhle and nn matter where he at present resides.

A good theatrt city will have Its name mentioned in London, New York and other cities where theatre people meet, to discuss their affairs and make their bookings, which means something not only to theatre people but to all who have money to Invest. Every year money Is spent on publicity (hut does not travel half as far or nave half as much effect as a good theatre reputation. And theatre managers In New York, London and other metropolitan centres, as well as those who visit such regularly, know just how much at traction the theatre has for the stranger.

There is another side of this questionthe adverse effect of a repu tation for being a bad theatre city, or a city that, cannot support a theatre. Such a reputation travels In the same way far afield and cannot but have unfavorable consequences. It indicates, to people more happily situated or more alive to their opportunities, almost a break with civilization, and tempts ths visitor to call the place "a one horse town." i Visitors are sometime tenr.pted to express their feelings frankly, and the expression hurts. Last year was It last year? we had a visitor from Amarillo, Texas, drawn hither by the lure In our publicity pamphlets. He came saw and was disappointed; went home, though' and wrote a letter.

It was a short and sour letter. After telling of his hopes and his findings he asked the editor of The Tribune to tell him what we had to offer a visitor besides beer parlors, and answered himself, briefly but to his own satis faction, thing" "Nothing sir, not a damned Some of us were sore at this and thought the man from Amarillo ought to have known better.

The Empire's Bonds the public Justice which Is my due.

I may be refused It by Mr. Hertzog, but I still would claim It, basing my claim on simple moral right, and I have the corollary right to complain, If I am refused, to all my fellow subjects and to all necessary authorities. On what ground does Mr. Hertzog claim to have abrogated all these liberties of all JSritlsh subjects? Is It becauso he and several other unauthorized people, called together.for other purposes, Inserted some vague expressions In a resoliu tion of a recent previous conference? What mandate had that conference to abrogate such a serious mass of vast. Interests and vital rights, even If its members considered they were doing so? None whatever.

What mandate would even any parliament have to do so? None whatever. Junius showed clearly that parliaments cannot morally Infringe the rights of even one subject; and that their generality of might has certain reasonable restrictions. One of the duties of loyal citizens of the Empire Is to stand by and give full support to each and all others of Its loyal citizens In maintaining their general rights and liberties to the full And since 1 know something even about South African conditions, I have more respect for the race whom Mr, Hertzog awurnes to represent In this matter than to believe that they will ever stultify themselves to the extent of demanding things Impossible and contrary to all good will and enlightenment, and to their own constitutional Interefts. I Bible Message From the AuthnriirU Version) And he said, A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his father. Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me.

And he elivided unto them his living And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his Journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance wih riotous living. And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; end he began to be in want. And whin he came to himself, he said. How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will ansa and go to my father, and will say unto him. Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am no more worthy to ba called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.

And he arose, and came to his father. Hut whin he was yet a i great way off, his father saw him, i and hud compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. And the son said unto him, Father, I have elnned against heaven, and In thy sight, anl am no more worthy to called thy son. But the father said to his servants. Bring forth the best robe, and put It on h.m; and put a ring on bis hand, and shoes on his feet.

For this my son was dead, and Is alive again; he was lost, and is found. (Luke 15:11 11; 17 22, 24.).
