What Is A Canadian ?
By Byron Stauffer, in Toronto Star
A.Canadian is one who believes that
Caij Ila is
worth while. He believes
that for the invisible line running a-
cross this continent from east to west
there is a reason; not a mere senti-,
Mental loyalty to a: crown across the
sea, but a sufficient reason rooted in.
the act that his fellow citizens are a
superior people, Otherwise there is
no sufficient excuse for maintaining a
small nation, with comparatively high
overhead expenses in government and
manufactures; alongside a ',bigger
country of the same blood and lang-
uage,

Then, too, he is conscious of the
efficacy of his national lnstituti/s, the
integrity of courts, the speed -of crim-
inal trials and their usual justice, the
wholesale dignity of tribunals, the
unshattered confidence in police offi-
cials. That these salutary conditions
may continue he will not neglect to
exercise his right to vote at elections.
Nor he will not be blindly partisan,
but will regard his enfranchisement as
a sacred trust, too serious to treat as
.one would the functions of a fan at a
ball game.
A Canadian worth the name will tell
the tax officials the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth about
his income.
Like the citizen of Zion described
by David in the psalm, he will swear
to his own hurt, which means that he
will tell the truth even when it is
damaging to his side of the case.
A Canadian is a promoter of Cana-
dian prosperity, No natter whether
he is an employer or an employe, a
.city man or a farmer, a mortgagee or
a mortgagor, an eastener or a west-
; erner, he knows that, as Ben Frank-
lin said to his fellow signers of the
declaration of independence, we must
all hang together or we'll all hang
apart,
Come and see them now

vantages of an early

A real''Canadian will take pleasure
in Canadian biography, lle will have

And he will encourage present-day
Canadian efforts in ant and literature.
He will chuckle when a Canadian

adian Rembrandt, pray for a Canadian
Carlyle or Dickens,
A Canadian will occasionally take
time to glory in his country's wide
spaces, its vast forests and its treas-
ures in the ground.
A Canadian will obey the laws of the
land, all the, laws, all the time—laws
against ' smuggling or boot -legging,
speeding or joy -riding, combining or
conspiring, M For he will know that
these statutes are made for the good
of all, and that a loyal citizen's motto
is an adaptation of the slogan of a
school:
"What sort of nation would ours be
If every citizen were just like mei"
The best Canadian, knowing that
this. big country has two distinct types
of people, differing in language, religion
and race, will a>otd and discourage all
fomentation of race prejudice and do
his utmost to fulfill the ideal of another
psalmist who exclaimed, "Behold, how
good nide how pleasant it is for
brethren to d'welI together in unity!"

This country seems to have got far
away from the "Imperial Penny Post-
age" Which brought so much credit
to the Laurier Government and the
then Postmaster -General, Sir William
Mulock. Note the fact that over the
'Foreign Letter' box in the local post -
office appears the warning: "Be care-
ful. Postage increased to all countries
except 'Canada, Untied States and
Mexico." Titus the Mother Country is
in the "foreign" class as regards post-
age, and the British preference which

Hospital Notes,
The Hospital Board wish to convey
to Mrs. Ferran, Miss Archibald and
Mrs. Rance, sincere and hearty thanks
for a donation of ten counterpanes fof
the different beds at the Hospital. The
gratitude of the Board is also tendered
to the Odd Fellows who have recently,
decorated a room at the hospital. The
ceiling, walls and floor have been made
beautiful with fresh paint, while a rug
and a handsome oak rocker add to the
comfort. Mr. T. Hawkins and his Com-
mittee are to be congratulated upon the
harmony of their different selections.

Not Resigning.
A rumor has been circulated more
or less widely during the past couple
of weeks that Mr. Thomas McMillan
the Liberal candidate for South Huron
in the forthcoming election, had de-
cided to retire, There is absolutely
no foundation for such a report. Mr,
McMillan was the unanimous choice
of the Liberal convention held in
Hensall on September 13th, last and
he is in the contest to stay, There
'is no manner of doubt but that both
