The local Liberal organ has aband- sned the anonymous correspondent defence of the Australian and New zealand trade treaty and 11“ °°m° gut in the open edltorially- 11 11181105 that the agreement which B1110 D101- arential tariff rates to Canadian news, u-t and alDamobilcs in e8- ghange for reduced duty 011 111111" Ind meats from Australia has re- gulted beneficially to this country. “as we have sold Australia about four “m, s, great a quantity u! svods i“ Australia has sold to Canada since the treaty became effective to datei" and that the reduction‘ in the duty on Australian and New Zealand but- {q- "only becomes effective in Can- ada when the production falls below gpnsumfiiull."

It is significant that in its defence the Patriot refers repeatedly to “Aus- tralinn" importations and its editor- ial is headed "Australian Buttelfi” What our farmers are concerned about is the wholesale importation of New Zealand butter into their mar- kets. It is beside the mark to tell them, in the face of the importation of 10,000,000 pounds of New Zealand butter into this country within the past few weeks, that our trade with Australia is four times as Great 115 Ailstralilrs trade with us. It is equal- ly futile to attempt to convince them. when New Zealand butter is under- goliing their own product on the

lCharlottetown market, that the re-

“duetion in duty on this importation becomes effective in Canada lwhcn the production falls below con- iumption."

1- The reduction in duty has become c-effective, and, according to the presi- .-dent of the Saskatchewan Co-opera- _tlve Creameries, whose statement

was reported recently by the Cana-

dian Press and remains unchalleng- ed, Canada has dropped from the po-

sition of an- exporter of 25,000,000 "pounds of butter annually to that of

an importer of an almost equal

Australia and New Zealand." This is

exactly the contention of the Na-

slight handsome man who, although he had not yet attained his thirty- ellht years, had, in the small space of life allotted to him. produced such splendid work in the realm of pure literature that he is spoken of to-day as Canada's greatcstpoet. ‘That title in itself is no slight honor in a country where such masters of poetry as Rob- erts, Carmen, Scott, Drummonvd and MacDonald have arisen. and it is a title that bespeaks amply the courage of the man who never swerved in his passionate devotion to the highest and most thankless causes. For it must. be admitted that courage of a peculiarly dogged quality is necessary to see beyond the popular and petty standards of success, beyond the ac- cepted literateur’; idea of g. atness. into a realm of spiritual achievement where few are fitted to understand and fewer still to follow. And it must. be admitted also that after full con- sideration is ‘ made of Car- men's lyric mastery, and of Robert's classic austerity, Lampman is the greatest poet that. Canada has yet produced. His is the supremacy of the inspired and true literary artist. l-le possescsed that higher sense of critic- ism and artistic taste which forbade any conscious revelation of second- rate art. Perhaps Lampman was greater on account of the fact that he allied himself with no literary group, and was overawed by no stronger literary personality in his owll vicinity. I-le was a poet by his own right, and by this divine gift of genius. I think that if there had been no other human beings on the planet, and no such thing as literature evcr existed, Lampman would have hewn his verses into smooth boulders, and would have still bccn a great poet, for his fire was that inward, unsleeping glow in the heart of genius that wills great art to be born, and makes a poet», a true poet, who writes because he must, and not because he chooses.

When Arthur Stringer, the distin- guished Canadian poet and novelist. left his American home in Mountain Lakes, New Jersey, and returned to his native land in order to encourage Canadian Book Week by speaking al- most twice daily for over a week on behalf of Canadian literature, he mentioned in Toronto, at the great mass-meeting in Convocation Hail. the fact that the Canadian Authors‘ Asociation was considering the erec- tion of a nlunument to Archibald Lilmllman in his natal village. When he spoke in London before the Canad- ian Club Mr. stringer was even more lucid and direct in his announce-merit. Some one, a member of either the London or Toronto brlmcn of the C. A A, had conceived the splendid idea of erecting to Archibald Lampman a fitting memorial column, or cairn, in the little village of Morpeth in Kent County, where the poet's father, the Rev. Archibald Lampman became rec- tor of 'I‘rinity Church in 1858, married Susan Gesner in May, 1880, and where the poet was gorn on the seventeenth

. of November, 1861.

The first six years of the poet's life were spent here, and then a change of residence was made to Perrytown. near Port Hope. After a few months there was a removal to Gore's Land- ing, a town on Rice Lake, where they remained for seven years, until 1872. In the opinion of Mr. Archibald O. Lampman, the poet's only son,,now resident in ‘lioronto, the memorial should be placed at Gore's Landing where many of Lampmarrs poems were first imagined, and where the future poet spent the impressionable years of seven to thirteen. I-lere he caught rheumatic fever in a damp rectory, and was suflerer from it for four years. In 1870 he entered the school of l". W. Barron, a Cambridge classical scholar and strict disciplin- arian. To Arcibald Iompman Gore's Landing was, with its lovely flower- beds, deep bass pools, gleaming lake. and shimmering rice-fields, a place of childish glamor and inspiration, like wcl-dswcl-urs l-lawluilcld. rm noiluu of the Reverend A. lnflflpmlfl failed irrlfld, and the family moved again to Cobourg. ‘Ihero weredean and dif- ficult years, but the poet's devoted mother, to whom he pays fitting tri- bute in his dedication of "Lyrics of north." determined um nel- m"; education should be continued.
