And nearer home in the States the whole tendency had been in the direction of unification. Recent legislation had strengthened the central power, and many of the states were now passing identical laws. And in Canada even if they had some difficulties, even if ihey would probably have to agree to disagree on several points such as marriages and schools they should not be afraid to compare notes. The question was rather whether the different provinces of their own free will could not bring their laws into harmony. A few illustrations would show how much this was needed in Canada.

First there were commercial laws. In no field was unification so deslrable or so easy, because there were no fundamental difficulties between the com LAST DAYS OF CAMPAIGN Geo.

The Lyttelton Times considers that, although Canada's gift is large enough to affect the naval situation appreciably, the Dominion's representation on the defence committee is even more important. It says: "The Canadian minister of marine goes to London as the first member of the cabinet of empire, and the other dominions will undoubtedly be admitted to partnership when they present their claims." The New Zealand Dominion, commends magnificent response of Canada to the admiralty memorandum, but suggests that dreadnoughts are less significant than direct participation by Canada in the councils of the empire.

CONFEDERATION SQUARE. While Plaza wins, the large number of voters who selected Confederation Square as a name is sufficient proof of the sentiment in favor of a name historic import. While the sentiment is admirable it is regrettable that the title selected was so long. If a shorter name had been decide upon or found with as much historical color-; me as Confederation Square the chances in favor of popular selection would have been much greater. THE DUFFERINS.

The fact that Lord Dufferin's name had been long associated with one of the bridges incorporated in the Plaza ltd many to vote for a title containing the name of the famous Governor-Ueneral. There was wholly sentiment behind this because as a matter of fact Lord Dufferin, while one of the best liked governors of the Dominion, had, of course, nothing to do with Confed- eration nor was he particularly identi-tied with the progress of the Capita! rom a material viewpoint. The same objections, of course, also obtain in regard to the Plaza. The name has no local or historic significance, but the i voice of the people is in favor of it been given out in advance.

IES PETITS 01SEAUX Interesting Lecture at L'Union St. Joseph.
