SIR RICHARD CARTWRIGHT.
The death of Sir Richard Cartwright
removes from Canadian public lite a
mac who for almost halt a century
was one of its strongest forces. Of
late years, owing to physical infirmi-
ties, be had not taken so outstanding
u part to political affairs as formerly,
but in the days prior to 18t6, when the
Liberals were fighting in opposition,
it was Sir Richard Cartwright who
pushed the battle. hearing the brunt
of Conservative attack and dealing
gigot blows in return. On financial and
economic questions eepectally Sir
Richard spoke with authority. and
against fiscal heresy be waged releutr
lees war. A pat riot of the truest type,
he scorned any attempt to make patri-
otism a party cry; he was willing to be-
lieve that all Canadians, friend and foe
alike, were united in love of country,
no matter bow widely their political
opinions might vary. His speeches
bad • classic flavor that is wanting
in the utterances of most Canadian
public speakers; one felt sometimes in
reading them that Sir Richard Cart-
wright would be in mor fitting com-
pany among the cultured leaders of
the British Parliament.
The people of Huron had a partic-
ular interest in Sir Richard's career,
!e; be sat for constituencies in this
ounty for two terms, between 1878
and 1887. Afterwards he sat for sev-
eral terms for the riding of South Ox-
ford.
MR. BORDEN AND THE NAVY.I
Premier Borden has publicly an-
nounced the intention of his Govern-
ment to call Parliament together in
November and submit proposals re-
garding the naval policy. Speaking
at Montreal, he said :
"It we find that the situation is
grave. if tbe Mother Country assures
ne of this, I will appeal to Parliament
that immediate and effective aid he
given, and it that be not forthcoming
I will appeal direct to the country."
There is • good deal of "if" in the
Premier's statement, taut it is the
most definite he has yet given as to
his policy on the navy question. The
adoption of a permanent policy of co-
operation with the Mother Country in
naval matters is, it is intimated, to be
a matter for later consideration.
Very much depends upon the evi-
dence to be submitted of the existence
of an "emergency." If Parliament
can be convinced that there is a real
crisis. ,omething in the nature of an
emergency contribution may well be
voted without delay. Something. how-
ever, more definite than the German
"scars" will have to be produced.
We have Premier Aquith's statement
in Parliament to the effect that the
relations between Great Britain and
Germany are cordial. and this should
carry much more weight than the
alarmist views which bear the suspi-
cion of emanating from the offices of
the manufacturers of war materials
looking for big orders.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
The development of cheap power in
Huron should supply s check to the
alarming depopulation of the county.
Lord Milner thinks that Canada
should create a navy of her own.
Wait till The Montreal Star gets atter
him!
We had to welt a long while for it.

heed epee of the Canadian Maanfao-
tare./ Association from Toree'n to
Uttaesa. The Ides, so doubt. le to be
right on the spot when pressure is to
be put upon Parliament in the inter-
ests of the manufacturers.
The patriotic attitude of Frencb-
Canadian Liberals towards the nary
question les cause of pride to English-
speaking Liberals, Hon. Rodolphe
Lemteuz's address at Ville Marie last
week, which 1s reported in another
column°, ehowe how tbe Liberals of
Quebec are lighting agaiust prejudice
and paerion.
A Uominiou bye -election will take
place in the constituency of Mardon
ald, Manitoba, on October lath. R
L. Richardson, editor of The Winni
peg Tribune, will be the Opposition
candidate, with Liberal and independ-
ent support. The Conservatives
choose a candidate this week. It is
expected the contest will be a spectar-
ular one. The seat has been held by
he Conserv atives, but a strong fight
will be made by the Opposition to win
it.
The Toronto News speaks of the op-
erations of the American Fruit Com-
bine in the West as an example of
"wb..t United Stater trusts would
have done under reciprocity." The
facts cited by The News are really tin
argument tor, not against, freedom
of trade. The American Fruit Com-
bine carried on its operations under
shelter of the tariff, which prevented
open competition ; and yet The News
would have its readers believe that Un-
ited States trusts could coins into Can-
ada only „ under reciprocity. The
American Fruit Couihine was among
the patriotic concerns which fought
against reciprocity- last year, probably
contributing to the Conservative cam-
paign fund in order to preserve its
hold on the markets of the Canadian
West, where for years, according to
The News, it charged the consumer
what it liked. It is just as well to re-
member that, though there iglu pres-
ent a duty on United States fruit,
there is no duty on United States
trusts, and there are a good many of
them doing business in rearm` JIM*
like the fruit trust of which The News
speske. Recipeooity would kill off the
trusts, Yankee and Canadian, vt the
same time giving our fruit -growers a
better market in the Eastern States.
A despatch from Washington states
that a British firm has ucderbid to
the extent of hundrei , of thousands of
dollars every foundry in the Coifed
States for heavy projectiles for use in
the big guns of theUnited States navy.
The United States manufacturers say
that undet the protection system it is
impossible for American steel works
to produce the projectiles at a price to
compete with the British manufac-
turers, and that even with the high
bids submitted they expected no
profit. The Navy Department at
Washington is passing over the Brit-
ish tender and dividing the work
among the United States firms. The
incident gives the apologists for pro-
tection a tough nut to crack.
The disposition shown by men like
the Belfast preacher who spoke in
Toronto last Sunday to extend the
Ulster troubles to Canada is to be dep-
recated. It may suit Toronto's
humor to applaud such an address as
that of Rev. J. M. Mcllrath, but what
about the far greater number of Irish-
men in Canada who believe fervently
in the righteousness of the home rule
cause ? Suppose they were to enter in-
to a "covenant" to vote egainst any
resistance by Canada to the Empire
until what they consider the just
cltium of Ireland are conceded by the
British Parliament ? Would they not
he quite as much justified in their at-
titude as the men who are virtually
inciting Protestant Ulstermen to re-
bellion ? Surely the Ulster hotheads
cannot view "the German peril" with
much alarm when they are ready to
provoke • civil war which would
cripple Great Britain in any struggle
with a foreign power.

LEMIEUX TO
HIS COMPATRIOTS.
HOW LIBERALS FIGHT THE BOR-
OEN-BOURASSA ALLIANCE.
French Canadians Enthusiastically Ap-
plaud as Mr. Lemieux Tells Them
of Their Debt to Groat Britain and
Justifies Sir Wilfrid t.aurier's
Naval Policy A Significant Demon -
titration.
At Ville Marie, Que., last week Sir
Wilfrid Laurier spoke to a gathering
of French-Canadians in • pouring rain.
Nothing could dampen theentbusiasm
of the crowd and the affection of the
people for "the Chief" was shown in a
most striking meaner.
A dramatic incident of the day was
the enthusiastic French-Canadian re-
ception accorded Hon. Rodolphe Le-
mieux on his eloquent response to •
question regarding the navy. The
intense eagerly -sustained cheering,
emphasized the more because unez-
pecte was evidently intended to con-
vey tL "the Chief' the renewed affec-
tion and understanding of compatriots
who recognized the character of the
campaign of prejudice which had dome
duty fur the Nationalist -Conservative
alliance at the last election.
Mi. Lemieux was addressing *owe
three thousand of his compatriots in
their own language. He was urging
education as the foundation of influ-
ential citizenship, and a closer co-
operation and understanding with
Knglieh-speaking Canadians. This he
declared with the strettgth of Sir Wil-
frid Laurier. He warned the people
against unworthy cries; in both the
reciprocity and navel issues the facts
had been obscured by prejudice. In
the former the cry of annexation bad
been raised by those who knew bet-
ter. Continuing, Mr. Lemieux was
referring to the eoonomie problem
when he was greeted with the ues-
tion : "Et a propos de la marine?'
"I thank you for the question."
responded the former Postmaster -
General, with hand upraised. "I
know, and you kuaw, that the marine
was the one question of the Borden
and Bourassa campaign of prejudice
and passion. The moot insidious and
worst prejudices are those exploited
k•4.bay ei mabty awl religion. aasulh a great and purely
a ike iquo like the navy men
would -•eek to etbud it with sectional
prejudice I cannot understand.
Facts of the Campaign.
"Listen, my compatriots," proceeded
Mr. Lemieux, in earnest tones: "let
us examine the facts. On March
.:8, 1909, a resolution was unanimously
passed by the House of Commons
calling for the speedy constiuction of
a Canadian navy. In 1910 a hill was
introduced based on the resolution.
The principle involved was that of a
Canadian navy to protect this part
of the Empire, to protect tbe coast,
to defend trade, and, in case of
peril—nay, even in case of trial—to'
pass under the control of tbe British
Admiralty on the authority of the
Canadian Parliament for Imperial
service. How is it that this policy
wee so bitterly opposed? It w•e based
on a resolution unanimously adopted.
Let me telt you, my compatriots.
The bye -election of Drummond
and Artbabaska, where Bourassa aid
Mont, appealing to the passions of
our fellow -countrymen, succeeded in
electing an anti -navy candidate, had
taken place, and Foster and Borden,
who had supported the principle of
the bill, saw what a profitable game
it would be to let Monk accuse Sir
Wiltrid in Quebec of sacrificing Can-
adian interests for the beneEt of Brit-
ain, while they in the English-speak-
ing Provinces would accuse Sir W il-
frid of being a separatist. D would not
now discuss the charge of separatism
alleged by Foster and Borden. Every-
one of you knows that 8ir Wilfrid s
lite and career have been • lemon to
his fellow -countrymen in favor of
British connection, hut 1 would deal
here with the amprtign conducted
among you, my compatriots, both in
Quebec and in Ontario, when Mr.
Bourassa visited Sudbury on lir. Aloe -
den's behalf last September.
Titres Accusations Made.
"What was the gist of tbe accusa-
tions that Monk and Bourassa made
to you, m compatriota? First, the
accused Sir Wilfrid of being a mili-
tarist
; second, they accused him of
pledging the credit of Caned* for the
defence of Great Britstn, and third,
on the back concessions, they de-
clared. to use their own language, that
be had sold himself, sold lila Province
and sold his compatriots to their here-
ditary enemy, England. 1 ask yon
now. were not those appeals made to
you r
There were cries of "Oui, oui, oui !"
from all parts of the throng, many
women joining in the affirmative re-
sponse.
"Then let us vee, continued Mr.
Lemieux, "whether defending Canada
and aiding to defend Britain in any
case of trial was on the part of Laurier
the ignominious policy which Monk
and ether of Border's Ministers al-
leged. Do we Prencb-Oaradians owe
anything to Britain's Let us go to the
pages of history."
Debt Os Behest Rule.
Proceeding Mr. Lemieux dealt with
conditions under the French regime
before 17110 to Mow that autocratic
Institutions prevailed under the
French domination. that "the oolanii
was rebid by a few minions," ta
that ever 1• religion the people were
net free. After the treaty elf p

"You. my compatriots," he pro-

the neuPle. "you bare hero told you

"Now that you know under what
benign rule we French-Usnadiaoe
have lived and prospered. would you
still object to doing our share ---a good
share, yes, an sothusiastic share—not
only is the defence of Canada, but in
the defence of Britain whenever and
wherever there is an bout 0f trial P"
There was a remarkable demonstra-
tion. The big gatheriog cheered and
cheered epi e, and many waved
Union Jacks.
"Away with Prejudice 1'
'1 knew it," exclaimed Mr. Lemieux
warmly. "Away with prejudice and
misunderstanding. Away with un-
worthy Bourassa and Borden nlli-
ances. Away with the appeals of the
Monks, the Pslletiers a'id r he Nantels.
It would be a sad day indeed for
French-Oanedians if the old mother of
freedom was ever in danger. In such
an hour we would do oer part. We
are tree to do it. Nothing in the
naval bill 1s compulsory. Under Brit-
ish rule there is no conscription. T'be
very freedom makes for British loyr
alt y.
"I ask this," concluded Mr. Le-
mieux: "I leak you, my compatriots,
to weigh my words and to remember
thew, and if ever in future you are
preached at by demagogues you know
how to answer."
Cries of "Ous" and cheers. "In the
heat of political conflict it is difficult
to speak," added Mr. Lemieux. "Now
is the time to educate ourselves, and
character and education sue at the
heart of our future proverb v."
Mr. Lemieux concluded amid a re-
markable demonstration.
