CANADA PUREST DEMOCRACY.
Dominion Far Ahead of U. S. in Cer-
tain Eseentials.
Canada is a much purer democracy
than the United States, says a writer
in the Saturday Evening Post, be-
cause her conetitution permits of
party government and flexible elec-
tions, and automatically refers every.
thing to the people if they wish such
a reference.
Also, Canada's fundamental law
gives to the nation all power not spe-
cifically bestowed on the provinces,
which is the exact Inverse of the
