If Canada had not done what she has done, she would have gone behind in comparison with the United States, Argentina and Germany.

"Occasionally Canadians flatter themselves that their politics are cleaner, that justice is better administered, that there is a higher code of ethics in business and in public life than in the United States. Undoubtedly this is true as to the punishment of murderers, but on all other points the United States has made tremendous progress in recent years. Canada must give more heed to the development of public spirit, culture, patriotism and appreciation of those things which are higher than material wealth, if it is to be the intellectual and moral giant of the continent. Canada must have a national spirit and a national policy which will carry it forward with increased speed, greater certainty, and towards a more clearly defined goal. tin sinkyrms katks: Fy Carrier ltr vrtvk.

to $35. its MONDAY NOVKMUER 81, 1910 A PLEA FOR STYLE. IN the admirable address which he gave to the students of Aberdeen the other day Mr. Asquith displayed a rare courage, says "An Englishman" in the Daily Mail. He was bold enough to read the losing game of Style.

He demanded that the written and spoken word should be marked by "precision, aptitude, in other words, that the orator and man of letters should never forget the imperious claim of artistry. As Mr. Asquith confessed, this sounds like a platitude. It is a plalitude, which of late has been obscured by a paradox. We have been told gravely that literary style is not merely an excrescence upon the fair face of thought, but a clear proof of wickedness.

Form and matter have been pictured as violent enemies, between whom no reconcilement is possible, and the same sort of suspicion has fallen upon those who have striven after beauty of style as they incur who in the very presence of the Puritan dare to embellish their fading charms with the artifice of rouge pot and powder puff. That the perfection ii form should be thought blameworthy in any art is due to an absurd confusion of ideas, and is sternly confined to the art of literature. Nobody would blame a sculptot. a painter, or a musician because he strove to make his wok beautiful and harmonious. 1 he man of letters has not ine same freedom.

He is charged by the fool with insincerity if he profess a faith in the paramount necessity of writing well. In England at least the (AT IT HERE SINCE 1SSS.)

C. J. W. FOSTER; HASTINGS STREET 333 333 Social and Personal MUSIC AND DRAMA MINISTER FOR THE EMPIRE. A NNOUNCEMENT is made in London newspapers that his Majesty's Government, having regard to the wishes of the self governing Dominions, is about to make a radical change in Colonial Office.

A new Secretary of State will shortlv be appointed and a new Department created, whose offic it will be to look after the business of the self governing Dominions alone. Another Colonial Secre.ary and the present organization will concern themselves solely with the Crown Colonies. No announcement will he made officially for some little time. But the work of the Colonial Office has so increased since Mr. Chamberlain's tenure of the post that the change is necessary.

This new arrangement arises naturally out of the work of the Imperial Conferences. After the last meeting a permanent secretariat under the Colonal Office was appointed with the duty of obtaining information for the use of the Conferences, of attending to its resolutions and of conducting correspondence on matters relating to its affairs. It was also agreed at that time that, on important and urgent matters, arising between the periods of Conferences, subsidiary Conferences should be held between representatives of the Colonies and the Mother Country specially chosen for the purpose. The existing organization of the Colonial Office has not proved satisfactory to the Dominions, especially to Australia hence the decision of his Majesty'. Government to create a new Department altogether.

The self governing Dominions which will be associated with the new Department are: Canada, New "Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Newfoundland. Mr. W. It. 'Aiiuiis the hostess at a bright icir on Tiuuwiy, when she was assisted in' receiving Ly Mrs.

Our critics are not like Stendhal, who declared that he mastered French prose merely that he night know how not to write it, and thus attain an effect of simplicity. They have heard murmurs of Art for Art's sake, and not understanding those mystical words have thought that an ambition of style should be punished, like other felonies, after trial at the Old Bailey. "It it not strange, therefore, that the very meaning of prose style should have escaped many of our contemporaries," he continues. "One grave critic has told us that the highest ideal of prose is the ideal of easy conversation; that the man of letters should be content to talk upon paper as he would talk across the dinner table. Common sense and experience prove this dangerous critic in the wrong.

Talk and literature are separated by a whole world of sentiment and purpose. It is a mere accident which forces the two arts to employ the same medium. And he who would substitute the processesiof the one for the processes of the other would convict himself of as pitiful a confusion as would a sculptor who attempted to fashion a monument in bronze by the rules of painting." four months in Hie enst, visitiuit jUKJltg other places tjliebec, Montreal i.nl New York.

Do not In London an addition to a great hotel on the Thames embankment, 200 feet long and eighty feet high, has just been erected in twenty days, the interior fittinps, plumbing, having been put in place in that time. In order to do this, the building was first erected at another place, marked, and then taken down.

Such a feat forms a world record for speed. Had it occurred in, say, New York, the world would have rung with the fame of the speedy American. Britain is not so slow as some people think when she takes a notion to do things quickly. TRANSFER TO ESQUIMALT. EARLY seventy years ago, says the Toronto Clobe, the Hudson Bay Company, foreseeing the probability that it would have to move its headquarters from Fort Vancouver on the Columbia River to some point farther up the Pacific coast, selected the site of Fort Victoria as the best spot from which to control the Pacific fur trade.

James Douglas, who had been for some years the officer next in authority to the Governor at Fort Vancouver, was sent to establish the new post on a site chosen by himself. All subsequent experience has approved his choice of the spot on which the beautiful capital of British Columbia now stands. Douglas became a few years later Governor of Vancouver Island and afterwards of British Columbia, and for his eminent services to the British Crown he received the honor of Knighthood. From an early period in ih: British occupation of Vancouver Ishnd British officers discerned the suitability of Esquimalt harbor as a naval station. Warships were needed to overawe the Indian tribes, and to restrain in 1857 the insolent behavior of the California gold seekers who swarmed into the Cariboo district up the Fraser River.

Esquimalt was thus kept in continuous use down to the time when for entirely new reasons it became expedient to have Great Britain represented on the Pacific Ocean by vessels of modern types, and to have the harbor equipped with a dockyard. In pursuance of the naval policy contemplated for Canada ever since Confederation the British Admiralty signified its willingness to hand over to the Dominion the harbors of Halifax and Esquimalt. Of the former possession was taken some time ago and it is now the headquarters of the protected cruiser Niobe; Esquimalt was formally transferred the other day, almost coincidentally with the arrival of the cruiser Rainbow, which will be stationed there indefinitely. In accordance with the characteristic lack of mercurialism of both the British and the Canadian people there was an entire absence of fuss on the occasion of the formal transfer; the plain Union Jack was hauled down and the Canadian flag was run up in its place. The only striking peculiarity of the occasion was the presence of the Rainbow and her officers.

ToniKlit will be given the first performance of that stirring war play, "The Heart of Maryland." written by David Belasco, the famous playwright, author of "The Girl of tha Golden West." This drama was the means of bringing Mrs. Leslie Carter into the position of one of the leading stars of America. The plot is laid In the state of Maryland during the Civil War between the North and the South, and the active fighting of the troops Is well denoted In the orders of the officers, the bringing In of the war prisoners, and the bombardment of the Southern headquarters. The scene In the old church at the headquarters of Col. Thorpe of the Southern army Is a very dramatic one.

"Canada is a great manufacturing country, but the State of Massachusetts produces more manufactured goods every year than all the factories of Canada's nine provinces. At the same time, the value of the agricultural products of that state has increased 38 per cent, in ten years. Its tilled lands are only one thirteenth of those of Texas, but Us crop value is one fifth. Expanse of territory is not everything. Massachusetts has a Forestry Commission which is increasing the forest values of the state, while those of the Canadian provinces are declining.

Massachusetts is a great manufacturing province, but it has agricultural high schools in its rural centres, while there is no teaching of agriculture in the schools of Canada.
