FOR A UNITED CANADA.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier spoke eloquently
at Toro nto on Friday last before w
gathering of the Ontario Federation
of Liberal Clubs. It was not a polit- 1
owl speech, in the narrow Knee. No
attempt wadi made to score on the
Government for faults of policy and
adininistration. No attempt was made
{o manufacture party capital out of
the sins of nab cion and commission in
the Government's record which in an
ordinary political 'address would prop-
erly have claimed the attention of the
Opposition leader. The Government,
however, was cballenged-and rightly
challenged -for its conduct in dividing
the people of Canada along party Hoes
during this time of war stress by
threatening an unnecessary general
election.
There was no excuse 1,w the Gov-
ernment's conduct in this matter. Tbe
attitude of the Opposition was clear.

John Tolmie, gig -K, P., was nomin-

Federal riding of North Bruce for the
next election. Mr. Tolmie was beaten
by Hugh ('lark in 1911, but the Lib-

tt ick.
Hon. "Bob" Rogers now "deprecates
the idea" of a wartime election in Can-
ada. Now that the country is unani-
mous on this point, let Premier Borden
speak our and say there is to be no
election and that the politicians may

eclipsed the dubious renown of h
predecessor, and inspired all classes
and creeds with • passionate devotion.
How this miracle bee been achieved
cautnt b., better expressed then in
the words of the Socialist Minister, M.
V•tderwelde. In his article in this
wcoth'e Nineteenth Century on "The
Belgium of Today and Tomorrow" he
says :-"If Belgium has no longer •
capital, she has an array and a King.

other young sovelesgn.-such w the
king. of Spam and Italy -he held
liberal views and dreamed ,f reconcil-
ing royalty with democracy, perhaps
with aocieluw. But the war was

ceau." Other admirers will,vary the
bi.wiic parallel. accrnding to their
political predilections. Pierre Loti,
in the account of his recent visit t
the King written for Tbe New York
American, %peaky of hint as "w ithoat
fear slid with,ntt reproacb," and corn
pates the two sovereigns "placed at

lumitou• pole, mod the other at the
darksome pole, one ....still surrounded
with insolent pomp, the other retirin
without • wurmur toe village cottage
on the hent strip of his martyred king-
dom."
Though King Albert has been jtiitl
acclaimed .. one of the greatest heroes
of the war, he remains unchanged in
his aversion from publicity. What
.truck future Loti nest •boat him
was ''his rioters and exquisite mod-
esty. He is unconscious of baying
behaved admirably. He does not
think he deserves the veneration of
the Krench nation and his popularity
with us, so muzb as the (east of his
soldiers killed for our common de-
fence." This tribute is well deserved,
King Albert has risked bis life again
and again in the fighting line since the
beginning of the war. Indeed it le amid
that when his Ministers begged him
to be more cautious, he replied that be
net no more yahoo on Mollie than„ on
the/ of any of his soldiers. That May
be, of Course, the outcome of hie modal-
istic leanings. But, whatever the
cause, his 'action has enormously en-
hanced the force of his example. The
Belgian soldiers recognize him as a
brother as well as a Biog. Even the
Germans have ezemptrd him from
their all-embnciog obloquy, and prob-
ably no mon fervent deur* is feat by
the Allies and the neutrals then that
he may be spared to witness the emaa-
cipation of kir country from her op-
pressor, and to preside over /lbs re-
building of bar ruined tinea and the
Restoration of ber prosperity.
It is well to recall the speech d. -
livered by King Albert to the Belgian
Parliament on the day of his coronation
to the spirit and letter of wbich be
