WEDNESDAY, JULY 12 The princely reception accorded Sir Wilfrid Laurier at Montrea’ on Monday, after his return from Great Britain, was a well deserved one. There is little a country can do to express its appreciation of a great man’s services. Even an illuminated St. Lawrence, and dec- orated streets, flattering though they may be to the natural vanity of most men, mean little as pageantry to one whose years have been spent in public life and public ceremony. As compared with the gorgeous pageantry of Empire the Premier had witnessed and taken part in at London, it is quite possible that the Montreal affair looked rather shabby-genteel. It would be only the sincerity that lay behirtd this dumb way of showing appreciation to a national leader, that would appeal to Sir Wilfrid’s heart. tified by the gratitude and admiration of the whole Dominion. Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s work for Canada has been a great one, requiring in exceptional degree rare qualities of intellect and spirit. Above all it required a rich display of that talent of talents—tact. With two races in the Dominion, speaking different tongues, and with different national ideals, Sir Wilfrid has stood between them, holding each by the hand, enjoying the conficdence of each, and leading each to understand the other better. It is one of the highest tributes to Sir Wilfrid, that the British-Canadian finds it hard to think of him as being a French-Canadian. The service that Sir Wilfrid Laurier has rendered the people of Canida in bringing the two races together, is one that cannot be estimated by any of our standards of measurement. All we can say is that had he not been at the helm of Canada during the past fifteen years—it is fifteen years ago yesterday since he came to power— the history of Canada might have been vastly different. And the work which Sir Wilfrid Laurier has performed in fusing the two races of Canada together, has been duplicated by him in his work of consolidating the Imperial sentiment, and binding Canada more closely to the Motherland. It was his act in despatching British troops to South Africa that galvanized the Imperial spirit into life ten years ago; it was his magnetic personality and eloquent voice more than any other that dominated the deliberations of the recent Imperial Conference of Premiers. In returning to Canada to the sweltering heat of Parliament Hil! in July, it is to continue the work of cementing the nations. This time it is to establish the strongest bonds of peace—commercial bonds— with the great nation to the south of our international boundary. That Canada will, if called on, endorse the great prosperity-making and peace-ensuring project of her great Premier, is beyond question. The Canadian people are behind their great leader in his work of! bringing peace and prosperity to Canada. JOTTINGS The Poet Sabine is dead, this is the sad news that comes from Toronto. While he lived, the Poet Sabine, ensured that no political meeting in the Queen City was dull. As a poet he was worse than Austin, but his eager personaliiy, his ludicrous interjections, and his heckling in rhyme were features of every political campaign. A pleasing incident is recorded from Peterboro. As Dr. John Clifford, the British Baptist laid the corner stone of the new Murray Street Baptist Church, the chimes from St. John’s Anglican church rang out, ‘“The Church’s One Foundation." ‘I accept it as a prophecy of the union of all the churches in the time to come,"’ said the preacher The opponents of reciprocity are getting hard up for arguments. At Mr. R. L. Borden’s meeting at Lacombe, the organisers had a Morman from Utah on hand to utter a cryptic message against recip- rocity. The press reports add ‘‘The Mormon farmer was not taken seriously by the audience, and his pronouncement and demeanor did not bear evidence of any large amount of sanity.’’ The fact remains, however, that in the opinion of the promoters of the meeting, the cryptic one from Utah was considered competent to lead them.
