Toronto turns out some excellent home and general newspapers,but none that is superior in any respect to THE WEEKLY GLOBE. THE GLOBE'S enterprise is well known, and its reli- ability as a medium of information has always been Its proud di,tinction. No Canadian Journal devotes more space to purely Canadian topics, nor deals with Canadian affairs more fairly nor more thoroughly.
