it very clear in his Toronto speech

said on his return from the im-

perial Conference. Contrary to his 0

usual custom he was very definite in his statements, too. The Ottawa Journal quotes the following pas- ‘sagea from his speech:—

"Our position from the outset. was that as respects the relations between Canada and Great Britain and between Canada and the other Doininions we had no questions to raise."

OPTIMISM.

PTIMISM, sane optimism, that ha! is n virtue to be cultivated and; encouraged and strengthened. Thai optimism, so called, which cheers} and hailoas for the purpose of‘ showing that it is not afraid, is_ plain silliness. Optimism must hovel something to back it up. When‘ there is real prosperity and a reas-‘i unable prospect of its continuance, we have a right to be sanely optim- istic. In this province, where there

has never been a crop failure, a de-

-."No change was made or could be made by the Imperial Confer- ence in the constitution of Canada e._.e - No proposal was made, or proposal was discussed, which could iirany way affect the constitutional rights of the minority in Canada."

(All that was really done, con- tinues the Ottawa Journal, was that a sub-committee wrote an es-

structive storm or general disas- ter of any kind, we cannot but be- optimlstic. Long expericnceln this respect has created a spirit of op- timism here that is perhaps not to be found elsewhere. Optimism is a chronic condition here, because it is foundedpn experience.

Of course, we have our chronic grouches who cannot be happy un- less they are complaining of their misery. We also have the cheer- ful idiot who shouts to make be- lieve he is of the right political party and that his party is going to win. To call this optimism would be to give it the wrong name. We have a right to be cheerful,to hope for the best even in the face of mis- fortune or calamity. To be other- wise is only to magnify and inten- sify the calamity.

EDITORIAL NOTES. I

There may be something in the ground hog theory after all. We can- not now ignore the opinions of even the hog, ground or other. It may know more than we think.

The days artsTnwiy ldngthening. the long nights of winter to which we had looked forward with pleas- ing expectations of broadening our reading and generally improving ourselves, are slowly shortening. Wonder if we carried out our good intentions or are we leaving it till next winter? I

In these rapid days upon which we have fallen, when the flapper and the smart alec are abroad in the land, we are all too liable to adopt their nonchalant ways and forget the respect we owe to our- selves and to society. Let us not forget to be courteous and respect- ful one to the other.

The immigrants in our midst, few though they be, are our wards to help, to encourage, them to adopt our ways. They are strangers to our methods a‘nd to our manner of living. It is our duty to ourselves as well as to them to help them in every possible way. Contented and prosperous immigrants are our best immigration agents. Discontent
