But in the good old days none hurried,

For 60 miles we followed the old high-

in the villages, Great ranges of mono•

the wide Pacific, and an along were tiny

THE BEN OF '1'11E CANADIAN
COMMONWEALTHS.
The parliamentary system in vogue in
the Canadian provinces bee a tcudeucy to
develop strong leadership end to give that
leadership a eontinoiey , 1 service that
results in statesmanlike t: lining of great
value. Our American ley•:+' 1 gives high-
er average training in pe eto life to a
larger number of men ; I, :r, it would not
seem so well to promote tn0 development
of permanent and highly 1rctined leaders
of the first rank, whose positions depend
upon their unquestioned qualities of in•
tslleot and character. There is no par•
Soutar reason why we in the United
States should not feel as Ina011 pride in
the strong and admirable men who aro
our neighbors across the line he Canada,
eo anybody is entitled to feel in Great
Britain. These men are the products of
Amerioen rather than European condi-
tions. They owe nothing more to their
traditional ties with the old home beyond
the sea than we in the United States owe
to our hietorical European ties. It is
rather a onrioue feat all round that Clan•
ada is bound to the United State0 by ties
far more essential end intimate than
those which bind bee to England, while
on the other hand the United States in
social, commercial, and other ordinary
relatione is in decidedly closer associ-
ations with England than is OanOda.—
