A SHORT time ago. Hospital Sun lav wan observed in tlie various churches the city all denominations tilting part. Not long before that the ladies of the Women's Auxiliary i.f the Van en, ver General Hospital boaid placed red cross covered boxes in prominent litres of business activity, and succeeded in ratherin? a ubstantial sum in rid of charity aause. On both occasions, those charged with arrangements for the special collections were actuated by the broadest humanitarian motives, and deserved evry credit both for the efforts put forth and the successes cored. Nevertheless, If the civic authorities conceived their duly as thev ought, the "special" appeals would not be necossary.

In almost everv instance, thmse numbered amongst the orlinnl subscribers to the hospital fund were the one who cheerfully placed their quarters, their half dollars and their dollars ou the plate and in the hoi. The pressure was felt and borne bv a few. It is neeiHesa to state that in a ci'y passing through the transition stares cf early growth, in Vancouver, a fully equipped, well manned and comfort furnished Institution for the care of tlie side end iti.iin ed is nn aUn'ute i essity. Its maintenance should be a matter of general interest, in vh.h every eitiien should participate. Special collections will never suffice to maV.e tVs either probable or possible, for the hundreds give where the thousands do not.

As yet, only one method has been discovered whereby every person iniy compelled to benr his or lier sharp in a public financial burd.n. That method la one well known for it invokes taxation. Since the maintenance of the general hospital is matter of concern to every citizen, the fuud.s required elinuld be levied from en. in proportion to his ability to meet the demand. This can only be done by the utilization of ial civic channel and through the assumption by the citv council of full responsibility for even dollar needed to meet current expense.

These are the two sirniticant words which, printed in gold, adorn the cover of a handsouiely bound, utlv ptitit el and exquisitely illustrated volume on the l'rniiie City just issued ftuin the p. csse vt the Winnipeg Telegram. I'hoto engraviuM are einplovr.l In profusion, and It la a fact worthy of note that the rompilers have decided nsrainst the too customary habit of piling up descriptive epithets. The explanations, accompanying the cuts are terse, the information supplied is of the "nutshell" variety, and the amount of space devoted to literary flouriahi is esartly nil. Evidently the theory to which the publishers have pinned their faith is that the eye will catch the desired impression much more ipilckly from ph' t.irea than from story.

Hence the extra care in the preparations of the pictorial page. Glancing rapidly through the attractive little volume, seyera! important aeem to atrile borne with particular force.

Yesterday the Victoria Times remarked that "the result of the improved methoda adopted by the McHrlde government in conneeti.in with taxation is already being felt, and in a way which viill not commend itelf to those who seek, to make this province their home. Those intiuted with money to loan tate that the market ha teen upset by the new a. is, and that the rat of Interest asked for by those having some thousands to invest has gone up in many Instance from 1 per cent, to 1 I per cent. Money wbi.

could have been obtained for per cent a short time ago is now unobtainable except ut rates of 7 per cent, or 1 2 per cent." Thla publication of the opinions of these with money to loan exoitd the r.donlit Like the alarmed cuttle fish it sent: out its slime: in other words it sought to hide itself In an ocean of adjectives. The utterances of the Me critics It classes a "utter nonsense," "wild, very assertions, etc. It claima that local conditions have not affected the value of loan money In British Columbia and declares that "any rise that there may be or 0. curs in the value of borrowed money, is due Instead to a combination of many other and vastly further reaching causes, one of these being undoubtedly the world wide feeling of unrest and unsettletnent due to the continuing danger the deadliest of modern warfare in the Orient." Applyiuat to the Colonist the v.ords it used to the Times, all that need be aald after that exhibition of ig 1. is, "utter nonsense." Easiness Methods Illustrated a Rise of a Vancouver Firm.

An eminent German criminologist, Professor von Liszt, tried an Interesting experiment with oue of his classes of young lawyers. He arranged to have two of them become involved In a quarrel, in which a pistol, loaded with a hi til; cartridge, and a walking stick were to ficure.

The other members of the das were left to suppose the quarrel genuine. The professor then einm ed each of theni privately as to what be hud seen and heard. Of the twenty men no two ngrenl as to the Immediate cause of the quarrel and eirlit diflVr i persons were credited with starting It. All stores substantially agreed n. to the rinit of the pistol, but t'ere were four different statements a to the time when it was Prod.

There were eight, different versions of the professor's part In separating the combatants. This singular Incident was arranp'nl by 'lie professor to illustrate the difficulties of evidence and the poi it especially Piade was that absolute unanimity of evidence was suspicious.
