Czar would undoubtedly have a great
effect on. the whole of Europe, hitt
in the ease of Great Britain, the neon•
aridly formed a binding tie between
all the nntious of the empire. Parlia-
ments in England, Canada and Aus-
tralia were looked upon by the pun
pie as belonging peculiarly to them-
selves, but the mc•tnreity was a thing
of common ownership. Mr. Rowell
saw lu the Russian revolution it vindi-
cation of the fundamental principles
of denim:mow, and. in the conduct of
the British nation under stress, he
felt a jnstilicadon for the continuance
of the iteriditary mmlerohy or the
British Empire, which was founded on
the finest principles of true democ-
racy.
One groat triumph for dertoc.rticy,
Mr. Rowell said, was tite granting of
the franchise to women. "A better
day," be said, "is dawning for dem-
ocracy. The sun or that better day is
already rising above the hilltops and
there are gt'eat hopes that autocracy
is being shaken from tts foundations
and that democracy is goitag to come

At the University of Toronto, in the
course of the lectures on "Citizen-

was addressed by Mrs. J. A. Macdon-

Macdonald . described Liberalism as
"broadness, go ahead," and Conserve:
than as "conserving things"; but she
thought "It would be line to say we
will just vote the best way after broad
