IN CANADA BEFORE HOUSE. Monk's Interesting Statistics Up- on an Economic Question That Is man In th: Domimon--Plan Is | Popular Abroad--What Has Been | Done on the Continent. 1 | of Interest to Every Man and Wo- | That 'the twentieth century would be the century of co-operation, just as the nineteenth century was that ol the joint stopk form of association was the opinion 'of no less an auth- ority than Mr: Gladstone, and in view of the bill that Mr. Monk has intro- duced in the Dominion Parliament, the subject becomes one of more than academic interest to Canadians. The measure provides for the creation and | organization of co-operative associa- tions among the Yarming and labor- ing classes of thé country, and was firat_introduced at the last session of ! the Houde, when a strong speech was made by Mr. Monk. It made no pro- gress last session, but has been again | introduced, and this year it has been read a second time, referred to a spe- cial committee, and, if reported fav- orably, will become a Government measure. The, purpose of these co- operative associations is sgnple. They - arc composed of people of limited means, who pay into the association a certain amount each week, and have the privilege of borrowing small sums from it, on security satisfactory to the other members. Popular Abroad. In presenting his bill, Mr. Monk gave some interesting Vstatistics re- garding the success of similar insti- tutions in England and on the Con- tinent of Europe. A famous example of a successful co-operative associa- tibn is that established in Rochdale in 1844. There were 28 associates, simple laboring 'men, who had scarce- 17 any capital at all. Ten years later their numbers had increased to 900, und in 1864 there were 4,747. In 1878 there were ten thousand members, their capital amounted to about a million dollars, and their business turnover to about a million and a half. Their profits were practically $200,000. The Manchester Union has been heard of by practically every- one, though ideas as to its nature are generally obscure. It is a union of co-operative societies and is, in a sense, the wholesale department of the idea' The union owns tea gardens ir India, and several ships to carry the products of its various properties te and from foreign countries. The Manchester Union sent out a delega- | tion to Canada a year or so ago, with ' the intention of purchasing a tract of land in the West, so it is plain that the associations of which it is com- posed have plenty of funds, and that the members who began as debtors have been transformed into capitalists ir a few years. { On the Continent.. | In Germany there are more than a million and a half people members of co-operative associations, and more than 12,000 banks. In some of the German states there is a co-operative bank in every third parish, with 50 per cent. of the farmers as members. In Belgium, where the lot of the lab- oring man is harder than in any oth- er European country, the co-operative idea is a new one, but it has very rapidly become popular. In 1894 there were only four societies, but in 1903 there were 286, representing a mem- bership of 13,000, and to-day there are, 2,000 societies. In the Nether- lands there are 1,460 societies, in Aus- trio, 10,000; Italy, 4,000; in Hungary there are nearly 400,000 members. In short, in every European country where the co-operative idea has been introduced it has proved immensely popular to the working people, and has been a great blessing to them. i A Grezt Convenience. | An authority on the subject of co- operative societies is Mr Edward A , Pratt, from whose work qn the sub- Monk was able to quote with as he said, Mr. Pratt's | ie gal to conditions | in England would closely apply to the } situation in Quebec, and, not so ex- ject Mr effect, because, actly perhaps, to sections in other provinces. Said Mr. Pratt "There may not be in England, Wales and Scotland so large a pro- portion as in Ireland and in various Continental countries of those very small cultivators to whom the loan | of five of six pounds from a co-opera- tive bank would be a great personal convenience. A certain demand for such facilities there yndoubtedly is on the part of laborers and very small producers, and such 'demand the co- operative bank association would with adequate support, be able to meet But a wider basis than this is quired to meet the wants of farmers, who would want to borrow more sub- stantial sums and might find it an inestimable benefit if they could ob- tain them from a co-operative crédit bank. * * * In almost every agricul tural district .of Great Britain the farmers or cultivators of the smaller class are practically in the hands of commission men or brokers, who ad- vance money "to them before their crops are ready, and afterwards get the produce at substantially less than its legitimate value, because of the financial obligations which the grow- ers incurred towards them at a time when they were pressed for money." Stamping Out Usury. Jt would thus appear that the es- tablishment of these banks would tend to stamp out the pest of usurers, and later on in Mr. Monk's speech was given a concrete example on this feature of the co-operative society He quoted from Mr. Pratt's book an experience in establishing one of the societies in a European village. When the purpose of the scheme was ex- plained to the villagers they were de- fighted, and at once set about the work of organization. No' sooner h Try a Pound of Myers' ose mane Sausages For Sunday's Breakfast. '60 Brook Street ole { union, with the result that sufficient | attention of the Parliament of Canada | stepped into the sitting room and lit they done so than the local 8hvloacks snnounced that they would call all loans of the members. This would have meant ruin to many of them, as practically the entire population was indebted to the usurers{ The propa- gandists, however, were equal to the emergency, and applied to the central funds were advanced to buy the vil- lagers' discharge from the usurers. The society. then proceeded without eny further trouble. Well Worth 'Consideration, On account of its effect on usurers alone, the co-operative idea is worth serious consideration ; but it has many vther good features. Of these there may be mentioned the convenience tc borrowers and also lenders of small amounts at small rates of interest; aud the encouragement of habits «f thrift and saving in those districts where the societies are established. t is to be hoped that the subject that Mr. Monk has brought to the will receive the careful attention that its importance demands. RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS. Canadian Wins Highest Distinction Open to Under Grads. At Oxford. A statement in reference to the operations of thc Rhodes scholarship scheme has been issued. From this it appears that there are now in residence at Oxford under the Rhodes bequest 161 scholars drawn from the di dent countries for which scholar | tions, C.P.R. ARCHIVES. | How a Complete and Exhaustive Re- cord of Everything ls Kept On the Big Canadian Railway. _ In the operation of a great railway, it would' seem that there must be un | awful waste of 'mohey upon station. {ery and printing, upon the type. writing of innumerable letters, upon the stacks of official orders which have to be all made out in duplicate. Thousands upon thousands of dol- lars spent upon advertising litera- ture, upon tickets, upon letter-head- ings; and hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent upon clerical labor, which seems, to the outsider, to be confined chiefly to the writing out of copies of memoranda, the individual items of which might be supposed to serve their purpose in the single COPY And yet, though the modern rails way stands, above every other enter- prise, for speed and directness, the simplest movement cannot he accom- plished without the written order. I the case of the C.P.R., for instance; Sir Thomas Shaughnessy rin his bell for his typewriter, ard dictates his instructions. These are handed to a great officer, who, in turn, dictates his instructions. These instructions may pass through half a dozen de- partments before they reach the man who has to carry them out.

Seventy-one come from¥*the British colonies, 'seventy- nine from the United States, and eleven from Germany. Candidates are subjected to examination tests which ensure their acceptance at Oxford, | but the final selection of scholars is | in all cases left to local committees of selection, guided in their choice by the suggestions made in the will of Mr. Rhodes. The scholars are = dis- tributed among twenty of the Oxford colleges. Only a few men, it appears, have ! as yet reached the final stage of their work at Oxford, but among the distinctions won during the past year by Rhodes scholars are the following: H. J. Rose (Quebec)--The Ireland scholarship, probably the highest dis- tinction open to undergraduates at the University--£30 a year for four years; a Craven scholarship--£40 a year for two years; first-class honor moderations; made an honorary scholar of Balliol. Chester B. Martin (New Brunswick) --The Gladstone memorial prize. J. G. Archibald (Quebec)--First- , class in final honor school of lit. hua. Of the colonial scholars, Canada i» represented by twenty-four, Australia by eighteen, South Africa by seven- teen, New Zealand, Bermuda, Ja- maica and Newfoundland by three each. Giants In the Land. John Lee, ex-M. P. P,, of Highgate, is relating an episode which occurred while he was in Merlin recently, says the Ridgetown Plaindealer. Mr. Lee was stopping for the night ai the Marquis Hotel, a temperance house. After registering, r. Lee | his pipe for a smoke before retiring. There were five other gentlemen in the room, all oil operators, interested in the Tilbury field, and all hale fel- lows. Mr. Lee also noticed that all were-as well blessed, and some more so, with avoirdupois as himself. After the informal introductions whieh fol- lowed Mr. Lee remarked on the sim- ilarity of heights and weights, which | was apparent. He suggested that each man give the nationality of his par ents, his age, his height and weight, and the following names and figures were the result. The similarity of parentage, height and weight will be apparent to the reader :-- C. W. Fulton, age weight 200 Ibs., height 6 ft. 4 14 inches, par- entage Scotch-Irish. R. R. Lowry, age 51, weight 282, height 6 ft. 2 inches, parentage Scotch-Irish. W. M. Lowry, aged 52, weight 273, height 6 ft. 2, parentage Scotch-Irish. Manee Wil- liams, age 36, weight 268, height 6 ft., parentage Scotch-Irish. Charles McGill, age 41, weight 266, height & ft. 11 inches, parentage Scotch-Irish. John Lee, age 61, weight 256, height 6 ft. 1 inch, parentage Irish. These six men weighed a total of 1,615 pounds. Wintering At Hudson Bay. Some interesting facts about the present position of the Cunadian Government steamer Arctic, now win- tering on the north shore of Hudson Bay, are contained in a letter from one of the crew, published in The St. John's (Nfid.) Herald. The letter was sent by the Dundee whalér Eclipse, which called at Ponds' Inlet on Sept. 20. at which time the Arctic had gone into winter quarters. The harbor was land-locked and surrounded by the highest mountains the crew had seen on their trip. On some of the islands | claimed for Canada by the Arctic they found evidences of copper, coal and iron. The finding of the Franklin | relics was related, and the letter stated that the Arctic would cruise | northward and westward when re- | leased next spring, and expected to | return to Quebec in October next. The writer speaks of resetting the Franklin monument at Point Beechy, and painting the headboards on the graves of the seven sailors buried there. The remains of Franklin's house still stand and a couple of beats were found nearby. The crew, of whom nine were from Newfound- land, looked forward without appre- hension to the coming winter. -------------------- Alfred Beit's Heir. Otto Beit, who has fallen heir to the greater portion of Alfred Beit's fortune, has decided to continue to reside in his own house on Belgrave Square, so he wants to cell Alfred's $5,000,000 palece on Park Lane. When Beit was building this house his ground landlord, the Duke of West minster, compelled him to have it only one storey, aa otherwise it would interfere with the view across Hyde Park from the duke's own residence. The motor omnibus, however, has transformed Park Lane from a quiet, semi-sylvan thoroughfare into one of the noisiest and smelliest in London, greatly depreciating property along i It ir over forty years since the hedoes in the North Yorkshire district ligve shown such an abundant crop of blackberries, hips and haws, and other red berries Ths new theatre open this season. - ' in Torento will"not | of Jeather-covered | missing. Not a pound of grease or- . was assured) they become, one had | ig quite above the frivolities of lile. Many a citizen, conscious of his burdens as a taxpayer, has smiled | grimly as he has come to understand | that while the heads of the great | | spending departments have their offi- ces within a few feet of one another, they never hold communication ex- cept' by dictated correspondence, which is as elaborate as that which | might pass between the plenipoten- | tiaries of two great and distant na- | tions. This is considered to" be an indis- pensable form of etiquette in the nice and well understood art of civie government. Though there is no foolish elabora- tion, it is deemed absolutely neces- sary to record each order on a rail way like the C.P.R.,-such order passing down, from one department to another, till it reaches the men whose business it is to execute it. Everything Can Be Produced. The interesting consideration, how- ever, is this--that every letter, every scrap of memorandum, every order affecting any part of the C.P.R. sys- tem, has been preserved since the in- ception of the road, and can be pro- duced at a moment's notice. A nation has archives, and so has a railway. And the archives of the C.P.R. are wonderful in their extent, and also in the classification which marks them, It would be worth while to drop into the basement of the general offi~ ces on Windsor street, Montreal, and take 4 peep at the way in which they are arranged, and the manner in which the clerks handle them, says The Standard. There are hundreds upon hundreds files. Thousands upon thousands of entries. Not a date dered at any time during the past quarter of a century which cannot be accounted for on the instant. That peremptory order of the Prosi- dent to change the map of British North America can be brought forth. That record of the recovered ten cent piece is at the elbow. The thoughts of the executive are not set down, but the policy which was the outcome of the private discussion is set forth in orderly record which tells of what was done sequentially. And if one had a turn for yen and figures (which few possess), he could construct a marvellous story from these records. They tell of small beginnings. They are somewhat tentative and "timid. Then they swell a little. They bulk in mere quantity, but chiefly in cour- age and self-satisfaction hen (one supposes when the regular dividend almost said truculent, in their sug- gestion of strength. The telephone rings at the elbow of the clerks in the basement. A record is wanted, of the; early days, of the ordered bridge, or the dozen of lead pencils, of the pur- chase ol the North Shore, costing seven millions dollars, or the order for table linen. There is no hesitation. All is inflex- ibly tabulated. The order-lines bf the Jastimony is almost painfully regula- ted. One would like to see a little disor- der as a relief from the deadly record of innerancy. The clerks smile at such impatience. They, too, in a curious way, which ean only be explained by psychological science, have been changed from natural habitudes. A light, breety fellow becomes - sedate, even pensive, after a few years. He abandons his jokes, He wears an aus- tere look. He would not smile during business hours for a good deal. He Extremely Methodical. And he has become methodical to an amazing degree. He is very care- ful about his toilet. He would be shocked did he discover a lawless hair, or 'a speck on his collar, One can fancy the wives of such men shrieking, at last--"John, for Heaven's sake, be dinorderly [row your coat on the bed.
