Entertaining Address ssto the

Canadian Club.
(From the Orillia Packet -Times)
Speaking ng to the Canadian Club at
their Iben uot: on Friday evening,on
the "Rona yus
mance o3 Our Place Names,"
Mr. Louis 'BlakeDuff;' of Welland,'
told
in a witty and entertaining man -
Hex of the romance of the historical
connection of some of the navies of.
tnwz F-•"' d village's ns •ren Mages in- Ontario. He
regretted that Canadians. did not love
their native soil as other' nations did,
and he looked forward to the time
when the Canadian halls, woods,
streams and 'rivers would prove to
be of inspiration to poets and inusi-
, clans and when. ,Canadians would be
able to. sing songs about spots of
special:'renown such. as was the case.
in ,Scotland and European countries.
Ile' regretted ttedthat, ,Indi

In most eases they were exeeeding•Iy

naturalfeature of the country. Thes
were" full of - meaning , and : in most
cases consisted of a descriptive
phrase.
In. introducing • the sP Baker Mr. R.
H. ;Starr, President of the Orillia
Canadian Club, premised the mem-
bers that they would spend a • most
enjoyable evening. Mr. Duff had ad-,
dressed the Club in 1022 when their
banquet was held ,at Orchard Point
Inn and at that time had won the un-
dying admiration of all its"rnenbebs.
On a summer morning, said Mr.

A Column Prepared Especially for
Rut Not Forbidden- to Men
As was of course to be expected,
the advent or women into the rights
and privileges of citizenship ire regard
to the franchise on an equality with
Men, has opened up: Mime 'questions.
.One of these is the question of mar-
riage and citizenship. A woman un-
der the British law,takeo' the 'citizen-
ship of her husband. At least if she
marries other than a British subject
sire loses her citizenship, and may in -
bleed ;become' a "woman withoet a
country." That the .matter should' be
causing some concern is not to be
wondered at, and we quote from the
Saskatoon Star some comment, before
the meeting or the Imperial Confer-
ence
onference:
"The vexednestion of the nation-
ality of ;women is to be debated at
the Imperial Conference There ,is no
doubt that as the ''law stands in re-
gard to this matter, throughout the
Empire, an injustice is done to wo-
men which ought to be set, right. The
law says that to . British woman who
marries an alien takes the nationality
of her husband. In practise, this bs-
tially meansthat ,.she fosses national.
ity altogether, and becomes -1 woman
without a'coun
h country. For F r example, if.
a Canadian woman marries: an Amer-
ican citizen resident in -the Dominion
she ceases to be u British subject but
she' does not acquire citizenship of
the United States. Her Ioss of Bri-
tieh' citizenship means less of the
v
vote, of the right to a mother's pen-
sion'
of the right to a British: pass-
port and generally speaking, of all,
the protection and the privileges
whieh go with being a subject of His
Majesty,'
"There are some exceptions to the
general rule. For instance, if the
alien husband becomes am enemy
alien the wife may - take her British
citizenship- again, She mayalso do
so if the marriage is terminated by
death or divorce. However, the'gen-
eral rules isas stated and women in
all British countries with reason de-
scribe it as unfair, Throughout. the
Empire women are, nor recognized
as independent citizens having poli-
tical rights identical with those of
'nen. Why should marriage with one
not a British eitizen deprive them of
.,
a single privilege?
"LastYear the House r
y I sc of Commons
adopted by a largo nta1' ority a :notion
that women should retain their own
nationality en taking foreign hus-
bands. In some of the Dominions
the national parliament has voted to
the same effect. The Imperial Con-
ference has no legislative authority
and cannotamend the naturalization
Iaw of .any of theBritish nations.
But a resolution passed by the con-
ference would probably bear fruit" hi
the parliaments of the Empire."
