The credit is well- deserved.

Canadian states- men have fully grasped the imperial idea, have led the way, and have powerfully impressed the other colon- ies and dependencies with the empire- building spirit. It is pleasing to find that the British press and people are taking note of this great fact. _ It is to be hoped that _the city fathers will lay to heart the represen- tations ofthe Women`s Council and take measures to have the sidewalks kept clear of snow during the coming winter. The snow is late in coming ‘to us this year, and that fact gives time to prepare. In past years the walks were allowed to remain piled lwith snow in a manner that savored ~ distinctly of “villageism.” Not much has been done as yet for Cuba by the United States since the the expulsion of Spanish rule. The country is in a most disorganized con- dition, the people suffering quite as much from want as before the war and no relief in sight. It seems a pity that the island had not at once come under the full control of the ities hardly know what to do with the i~lands wic=ted from Spain How e to gi-.eita staple "overnrnent and _ reinstt c its industries, is hird ll Tolstoi in a. recently published Russiais inhabit-ed by people who are under omg the terrible trials of in its formation and completion the g 0 work of Canadian empire builders That work has now come to be re cognized in Britain as the greates work of the centur in consolidatin slow starvation. He makes it clear _ that he does not mean that they are t in danger of immediate death. It is a. sort of life-long starvation from the British empire? In constructing which they suffer, and which shortens 11 our great system of water-ways fro the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the mid continent; in projecting and complet ing our trans-continental railwa system; in summoning the great con ference at Ottawa in 1894 for deleg ales from all the colonies and depen dencies to discuss the commercial fed we now have was in its inception an m Y ration of preferential trade, with the accompanying demand for abrogating the German-Belgian treaties; in the inclusion of West India sugar within the pale of preference; in our trans- eration of the empire; in the inaugu U the lives of tens of thousands. _ They never have enough to eat, even of the coarsest food, and as a result they slowly part with their _ mental and physical vigor and alert- ness and cease to care for the concerns _ of life, Millions of the Russian peo- _ ple are represented as existing in this _ state of slow decay. Tolstoi started soup 'kitchens on his own account in order to build up the physical systems of some of these poor ones and give them hope, but the government quick- ly suppressed them. . Pacific steamship lines to China,Japan - - and Australia, and the efforts to es- tablish telegraphic cables across the Pacific-in all these movements and enterprises Canada has led the wa. yi not only in advance of all other colo- nies, but often in advance of lagging or f l"of _ . \->~,==¢` _ i" 1 l. 5 - ` /,W ' sturdy and loyal imperialism that has // // '/ British sentiment at home. We may pause for a moment to consider what might have been the' consequence to Britain and the em pire if Canadian statesmen of botl parties had not been animated by the z0000000000000oo0ooooooo; 1 00000000 0000 qoooooeooooeoooo f o _ is 00 characterised them. It would have been easy to have accepted and acted upon the suggestion of the once pow eiful anti-colonial school, _ and have permitted British North America to remain disorfranised and drift into D annexation. 'That would have hap pened had we remained disunited ’ with our only lines of communication between province and province pass- ing through the Repnh it- beside us. That once effected, lil itiln would have been shut out of §f~._»i th America, 1 P, I f deprived of her coalinff and na.va. stations on the American shores o the North Atlantic and Pacific, lef t withoutiher second highway to India. and China, divested of five millions _ of her most energetic and progressive people and stripped of half the ter- ritorial area of her empire. It is due to Canadian statesmen that all this has been preserved to Britain and that Canada is now the right arm of the world’s wide empire. And far beyond the broad bound of the Dominion the influence of th Canadian impulse is felt. If Aust- ralia and South Africa are now mov- ing towards federation and consolid ation, it is largely because Canad has led the way and set the pace in this imperial march.
