OUR. MONUMENTS.

WHILE it is quite natural that the, more recent of our war IlEfIl-X orials should occupy a foremost place in public opinion and bc thc centre of attraction. we must not forget our first war memorial, that commemorating our part in the South African war. This was the flrst war adventure ‘the Province engaged in. and it has been fitting- ly commemorated by the handsome monument on the southern side of Queen Square. This monument is at present badly in need of being cleaned up. The bronze surface is covered with verdigris and is be- coming very unsightly. This should not be allowed to continue too ‘long. as eventually the corroding effect ‘will penetrate too deeply to permit {of repairs. we still have amongst ius quite a number of veterans of the !Boer War. and in justice to them ins well as to ourselves we should

‘keep in good condition the mem- crial commemorating their achieve- ,ments and their gallantry. More- there inscribed on the monument the names of the first

Icluding a picnic during the sum- lmer at which there were over a thousand people present, the report proceeds:

"We have all. individually. watch- ed the Maritime Provinces make their struggle to maintain them- selves as a healthy, vigorous. loyal unit in our Dominion. To us cvcn morc so than to others. it was clear that unless thc Mnritimcs were pro- grcssivc, Canada's future develop- ment would bc by so much retard- ed. We have not been alarmed by scparationist threats. but we have been concerned that an actual eco- nomic separation of the Maritimcs from the rest oi Canada was taking place. Your Executive felt that we would have your hearty support in any collective action that would show the Maritimes that we were marching shoulder to shoulder with them in their efforts to flnd the place of the Maritlmes in the-chang- ing economic order in Canada. You know what we did. We asked one. hundred and twenty-five men who‘- represented the political. industrial and educational interests of the Maritlmes to come to Toronto as the guests of our Associati n for four days. Almost ninety accepted. We wanted them to meet Toronto business men, to study advertising! and sales methods employed here,‘ to flnd out what Ontario wanted tof buy. or could be induced to buy., from them. We wanted them to‘ work out with us some organization by which the Maritimes could en- for. with a. fair chance of success, into competition for the markets of Upper Canada. We hoped for anl economic conference that would| mark the re-confedcration of our!

It was soon found that a horse could gallop faster than a man couldrun and the horse race was established in the sporting world.

OUR. WOOD LOTS.

N many farms throughout the Province there still remain acres of valuable hardwood. The hardwood supply has in the past several years been badly depleted. The first care of our pioneer fore- fathers was to get rid of the forest. and they did it with a thoroughness that at this distance appears to have been ruthless. It was the only thing that. stood between them and the cultivated farms of their dreams and hopes. They could not be blam- ‘ed for this. Lumber was in the way and was comparatively valueless. Today our timber lands, especially our hardwoods, are the most valu- able of our rural possessions, and these should be conserved with the utmost care. A comparativelysmall area of hardwood, if properly looked after and re-forcsted where pos- siblc. would supply firewood for com- ing generations. This is a mutter which should bc carefully consid- ered by those who are fortunate cnough to still possess even small hardwood areas. -

Even the soft woods-the spruces, the pines. the hemlocks and the ce- dars-although occupying less valu- able land, would be found valuable assets in the matter of fuel supply. Care and conservation would per- petuate them for generations; and it is hoped that such conservation will be undertaken wherever pos- slble.

PHILOSOPHY OF EMPIRE

' HE British people," said Sir

William Clark. British High Commissioner to Canada, on the occasion of his being welcomed to Ottawa, “may fairly claim that they have evolved a philosophy of Em- pire which places our Common- wealth in a wholly different cate- gory from other great political ag- gregations of the past. Liberty is its fundamental principle. its es- sential aim. Each Government pur-

‘aues it within its own borders; it is

the ideal of his Majesty's Govern- ment in Great Britain in the excr- cise of their responsibility for that part of the Empire which is still held In trust. And in the autonom- ous group the principle has been carried to its logical conclusion. each member being. and intending to remain. a free unit. self-contain- ed and self-controlled. butthrough mutual can-operation.‘ through com- mon allegiance to the Crown, aunit

The speed competition cov- cred land and sea and both land and sea movement became more rapid since the steam locomotive, and the railway train and the swift. steamships have come into opera- tion during the early part of the nineteenth century.

The motor car now compares in its swift movement with the rail- iwa; train. while the aeroplane in |its element has attained a speed .far beyond any vehicle ancient or !medern on land or sea. Only the ‘other day D'Arcy Grieg. a British ‘Flight Lieutenant. attained a flying speed of 319.57 miles an hour —- a little better than flve miles a min- ute. An Italian flyer had before reached pretty near the same mark, his speed record being 318.62 miles Tan hour. But the speed craze is not abating nor are the competing lspeedeis satisfied.

In any case, I believed that in view of thc uncertainty of the situation, Marsh- all Foch should accelerate the of- fensive of the armies. Clemenceau did not fall to tell this to thc marshall.

Many readers grow tired of pro- longed controversies. and the dis- cussion about who won the war falls into that category. The re- turn of Armistice Day may revive some interest therein for the mom- cut, among thc few, but thc celebra- tion on thc Eleventh Day of the Eleventh Month should be embalni- ed in thc spirit of peace and good will. How to preserve peace throughout thc world and prevent any future resort to warfare is a matter of vastly morc importance than further fruitless controversy about who won the last war.

"Too many flying accidents" is a headline in a New York paper. and doubtless there have been too many that were avoidable. In the United States this year in the first six months there were 153 persons kill- ed in 300 flying accidents. compar- ed with 162 during the whole year 1927. But there were twlcc asmany planes in the air. In the States there is divided control betwcen the federal and state authorities over aviation. Each state makes its own laws and exercises control over fly- ing within its own territory. while the'federal authority has Jurisdic- tion only over inter-state flying. The Supreme Court of Canada has ‘been asked to determine the extent of provincial control and responsi- bility over aviation under the B. N. A. Act.

The Winter Fair in Amherst was. as usual, a triumph for our live- stock raisers. We have grown ac- customed to winning in these un- nual competitions andexpect them to be repeated. Our competitors from the sister Maritimes have also come to realise that the lion's share of the price money must go across the water to "the Island."

offensive of the allied armies that he had decided to move his head- quarters to Senlis.

Moreover. as it is close to Paris. the max-shall was always able to be in communication with the
