SWORD SHEATHED NO DISTURBANCE
FOR A CENTURY FOR LONG TIME
What florae Canedlen. Say as to Pro -
potted Centennial In Honor
of Peace
Tae anniversary of n great national
achievement, namely peace foe a cen-
tury between Canada and the 'Crated
States, is proposed for this year. Here
is what some Canadians Bay of it:
Hon. A. G. MacKay
"If two nations can, with ease and
with advantage to both, live at peace
for the one hundred years next
succeeding the War of 1812, with all
its somewhat exasperating recollec-
tione," said Hon. A. G. MacKay, Owen
Sound, "ho W many century marks may
they not pass with no other result
than ever-increasing friendship and
good -will? The celebration of a cen-
tury's peace between these two great
Anglo-Saxon nations means more in
prospect than in retrospect. Who can
estimate the momentum of the force
that would make for the peace of the
whole world if the British Empire and
he United States of America, two of
the greatest of national world -forces,
were unambigously to signify their
joint and unalterable determination )
accept, nay, to enforce, the message
with which the Prince of Peace Hirn-
self has heralded: "On earth peace,
good -will toward men." If two nations
such as Canada and the United States,

Hon. Mr. Justice Riddell
...ha parties fully recognize that
political union between the United
States and Canada is wholly otit of
the question; As well ask Michigan
to leave the United States and unite
her destinies with those of the Domin-
ion as ask Canada to unite hers with
those of the United States," said Mr,

HON. A. G. MACKAY
with practica,ly an ungarrisoned and
non-fortressed four thousand mile
irontier, make the Century .mark ,as
brother nations should, such an event
should be fittingly celebrated in order
that, if possible, certain other nations
may learn and realize the fact that
public moneys might be better spent
on that which would work for the
longevity of the people rather than in
costly preparations for their imme-
diate destruction. The time seems
fast approaching when, by the force
of public opinion the world over, inter-
national oifferences must be submit-
ted, not to the arbitrament of the
sword, but to that of an unbiased
judicial tribunal. When this is ac-
cepted as international law, then, and
not till then, will the nations act as
if they really believed and realized the
undoubted fact that 'War is Hell.'"
Hon. Richard McBride •
"After living peacefully side by side
for a century,' said Hon. Mr. McBride,
Premier of British Columbia, "it is
inconceivable that any interhatenal
question should arise bdtween Canada
and the United States that cannot be.
solved by peaceful means. Recalling
ihe success that has attended the sube
mission to arbitration of important
questions aiatecting bah nations, it
does not appear with the range . of.
possibility that war should eversagain
be waged between the Empire and our
kindred nation the United States. Our
countries stand as an example. to the
world of the highest •type of civilize..
lion yet atea;nerl. Our ideals, our love.

HON. RICHARD McBRIDE
of true freedom and desire for the ad-
vancement of inankind, are similar and
our friendly relations so interwoven,
that wisdom, moderation, and a sense
of our tremendous responsibilities can
be relied upon to settle our difficul-
ties by peaceful means. We Cana-
dians have no warlike aspirations; we
desire to live alongside the United
States as good neighbors and friends;
and the proposed celebration of one
hundred years' peace between the two
countries should be an object lesson
and 4.1i exanertle to the world at large."
HON. MR. JUSTICE RIDDELL.
,Tustice Riddell, of Toronto, "And yet
we should not forget that we are in
great measure of kindred origin, of the
same tongue, of kindred institutions
'and kindred aspirations, We are, how•
ever, on both sides of the line, too
prone to dwell on something which is
not our true glory. We should all
think and say less of warlike prowess
exhibited in the past, and think and
say more of peace and the many
treaties whereby peace was preserved,
There are many histories of the War
of 1812 but .none of the arbitration
treaties since 179.3; and yet these
should be considered the real glory
of the past. I know of no more useful
project than the publication and cir-
culation among our people of the story
of these treaties, the pro'ceedings un-
der them and the splendid result. The
mind of our people should be filled
with the grandeur of. peace, not, with
the horrors of War. 'Peace on earth.'"
• Archibitet McGoun,' K.C.
"One of the messages to humanity
of the Prince of Peace was'`Think not
that I am come to send peace on earth:
I came not to. send peace but a sword,'
said Archibald McGcnin, K.C., Mont-
real. "And yet it is only Christianity
that can bring peace to nations.' The
citizens must force their governments
to respect the rights of other .nations,
'especially the Weser. Foreign policy
should be magnanimous, but if mag-
nanimity is •met with a hostile return,
a great Power must fall back on its
inherent •force - to maintain the just
rights of its. people. Under Canning,
Aberdeen and Gladstone, hottest ef-
forts were.made in this direction, but
the most striking example was the
•polity 9f James VI., the great. Peace-
maker, who was in .advance of his
time in insisting that even Spaniards
were entitled to • the observance or.
;international good faith. Lord Mans-
field extended the same rule to Pagan
nations. The doctrine of. Anglo-Saxon
supremacy is utterly pernicious. It is
an insult not only to Other nations,
but even to 'members of other races
in the British and American nations.
But traud and corruption, equally wits
war :and violence, are subversive of
national peace, and where these are
used sentiments are kept alive which
will justify resort to war if the injured
nation thinks it can be • successfully
undertaken. Canada must assume no
subordinate role. She must have all
the attributes of national greatness in
her delaings with all other countries,
and this is quite attainable as a full
partner in the control of the British
Empire. Towards the United States
we must show, not subservience, but
friendliness and a .spirit of justice and
• fait play,"

therhood of man, the tendency grows
stronger to celebrate the anniversaries

brought joy and4hope and uplift and
progress and happiness to the whole
of humanity. it is clearly in harmony.
with the Modern ideal to celebrate a
century of • peace between two great
nations and to note the marvellous
development made during this won-
derful peace epoch. Such a, celeb. •
tion will do much to awaken higher
ideals and standards in the minds of
men and women throughout the world,
The union Of two great Anglo-Saxon

reveal more clearly. to. Great Britze.a.
and the United States themselves the
highest moral ideal which humanity

RIVER BED OWNERSHIP
Simply an Effort to Protect the Inter -

Hon. Frank Cochrane, in replying to

ship of beds of navigable rivers, said
the bill was /Ample an effort on the
part of the Government to protect the
interests of the people in water powers
Which were never granted by the
Crown and which were claimed by
owners of land on each side of the
stream, land which in many cases was
purchased by speculators for a mere
song with the avowed object of se-
curing control of the power.. The act.
made it quite plain that there was no
interference in cases already adjudi-
cated by the eourts, nor where a power
acquired under the conditions roferred
to had been developed in the belief
that the claimant had a legal right to
do so, but the Lieutenant -Governor -in-
Council might require the development
of the power to the fullest possible
extent, and also had the power to fix
rates. This power to demand devel-
opment would, of course, not be eser-
sisal unless the power were required
for industrial purposes, and there was
a public demand for the same.

RAMBLES
THROUGH
011 LONDON.
By Rev. Hyslop Dickson for some
time acting Pastor of Willis Church,
Clinton.
(Concluded from issue of Mar. 16th)
Milsoums and Art Galleries.
One of the greatest surprises thee is
in store for the visitor in London is
the number and variety of muse
eums and art galleries. In a visit nf
tee days a visitor can not hope to ac-
quire a fair knowledge of all these
buildings, or even to see hurriedly all
that is in them. 1 wish in this oriel,
summary to merely mention those
features which remain vividly in my
memory.
Universally the British Museum is
bellevel to infinitely surpass•all other
similar collections. That, however,
is not -the impression that every vis-
itor takes away with him. As this
museum. is conducted on a etrict prin-
ciple of classification, many sections
of 'it bave been removed to other
buildings. I was especially interested
in the famous collection of ancient
manuscripts, its history of printing,
and its sculpture galleries, especially
the Egyptian and Assyrian• .
The Victoria and Albert Museum'
consists of a very largo and miscellan-
opus, collection, ranging from Japan-
ese embroidery to Trajan's Column
front Rome. The artistic grandeur o[
this 'building itself and its collection
of Grecian art are most itnprOssive.
. The. Natural History Museum is a
wonderful place to study 0.21 • about
birds and animals of all kinds. Birds.
from all- countries are displayed in
their native surroundings. One robin
contains three whales, which May be
examined minutely. This' museum is
a favoriteresort for boys and. girls,
and fortunate they'are- •who have an
opportunity for such education,
The. Scientific Museum contains a
collection. of all inventions' of machin-
ery for Centuries; . such • .t . collection -
that the' visitor 'wondere if there has
ever been an invention which. is. 'not'
exhibited hare- • '
•
'file Wallace 'Collection, consisting
ef paintings, furniture, porcelainetnia-
iathres, enamels', . European- and .Orien-
tal arms,' and armour, taken, from the
homer of three generations o1 Walla-
ce's,- is said to be uttriValled • ,in
line. A. 'visitor would require at least
a •week to ex:an-Inn thoroughly alt. the
•
contents of its twenty-three spacious
moue.
• The Tower of London might almost
be ineluded in the list of illumines. It
is the old fortress of the city and is
still the headquarters foil the troope
of soldiers. Its collection of arm-
oury and royal jewels is most fascin-
ating to any student of bietmee.
Picture Galleries are found in most
of these museums, but if one is des-
irous of ming paintings only, he will
find greater interest in the National
Gallery or the Tete Gallery. To me
the finvet collection of paintings is to
be seen in the Tate Gallery,—paint-
ings by such artists as Turner and
Watts.
Distinct from bell Museums and
art galleries is Madame Tussand's
Waxwork collectionits impression
on me was so marked that during all
the following night I was haunted
with visione and dreams relating to
its display. This wax -work collection
includes all the great people of the
present day and many famous people
of history. All the kings and queens
of Great Britain are to be seen, wen
King Henry 8th with his eight wives.
Figures of all the 'members of the pre-
sent royal family are in prominent
place. The rulers andleaching
statesmen of almost all nations of the
glcibe are to be seen in ono room.
Pseets, historians and theologians have
not bean overlooked. Each figura is
dressed in the clothing of their own
time and the nearer you approach
them the more life -like do they ap-
pear. In one doorway sits a lady at
a desk selling catalogue:4 for six pence
each and many a person attempts to
buy from her, not recognizing that she
consists merely of wax. Policemen
and guards stand around ia all the
roams and it is not an easy task to
detect Who are real and who are wax.
A great tet to a person's nerves is
experienced in entering one section of
the building, known as the Chamber
of Horrors. All the notorioue criin-
inals of history are found here. Even
Dr. Crippen has won for humself a
place in this collection. Scenes of
torture and of such methods of execu-
tion as the guillotine are reprinented
here in all their cruel horror. Little
wonder after seeing scenes sa horri-
ble, that weird dreams dietuebed my
otherwise peaceful slumbers that
night.
