Belleville Daily Ontario: There has been considerable discussion in the press as to the curbing of the motor speed mania. The Montreal Star calls "motor speeding potential murder" and goes on: "Every man who drives a car recklessly or in any fashion which invites an accident compels innocent riders in other cars --to say nothing of pedestrians--to risk sudden death or dire mutilation. If this is not potential murder, what is?" It goes on to compare such a man with one who would fire a-rifle off indifferent whether he hit any- This view defines the "speeder" not so much the fast driver as the reckless driver,, the man or woman who gees carelessly or so fast that he or she risks everything. Many fast drivers are remarkabR' careful and many of them have never had an accWent while numbers of drivers who are moderate in speed are reckless in their movements on the road, in the signals or lack of signals they employ to signify their intention when changing their course on the highways. The reckless driver should be jailed whether he drives fast or moderately. Many an ambling car is the source of as many "potential" accidents as the rapid car, for the ambling car may roam almost at large all ever the roadwav while the driver is chatting or looking at the scenery. Many offenders of this class would be shocked to be brought to court but they are those who add to the menace of the highway. There seems one thing certain-even if it means locking the stable alter the horse is stolen--the driver of a car who figures in a serious accident should, it seems, automatically by suspension lose his license to drive and not be allowed to resume driving until he has satisfied the court or board that he is a safe The traffic problem is one of the biggest of the day and is here to stay. Those who drive motors drive deadly machines if they are allowed to get beyond control.

Sold by {K[ ever was ship more royally wel-corned to a Canadian port than /was the Canadian Pacific liner "Em- rss of Australia" on July 4th last, the historic port of .Quebec. Ti was her first appearance on .... broad bosom of the St. Lawrence Sliver, Canada's highway to the sea. [already famous as one of the ■world's great and most beautiful ■hips she had come from across the Atlantic newly conditioned and with Entirely new engines to take her place in the Company's Atlantic Beet as another aid to the development of Canada's overseas trade. Her arrival was a national event and it was marked as such by ner on board at which were present His Excellency, Viscount Willing-Idon, the Governor General of the Dominion, the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario and Quebec, the Prime Minister of Canada and by a remarkable gathering of leading Canadians In many walks of life. As chairman of the dinner, E. W. Beatty spoke of the occasion as an evidence of the development of the great St. Lawrence route and the upbuilding of Canada's ocean transportation ser-ivices by a Canadian company under policies based upon the conviction that the St. Lawrence route has advantages which might well be exploited in the interests of the Dominion. "There is no reason," he said, "why this route should not be utilized to a greater extent every year by institutions and citizens resident in the United States to the benefit of Canada and Canadian ■business institutions." As an indication of the expansion of Canada's European trade he pointed out that there are now being built for the Atlantic service of bis company no less than nine additional new steamers -- four for passengers, and five for freight, a total of approximately 120,000 tons, bringing the Company's total gross (tonnage in ocean, lake and river steamships to over 500,000 tons. *In proposing a toast to the Governor General, Mr. Beatty said:-- "I have just returned from a trip preceded me, and if he, with all his modesty, could have a faint conception of the regard in which he is held and the very distinct influence he exerted in consequence of that short trip, he would be gratified. His humanity, his generous' instincts and his rare tact, would win for him a very peculiar place in the affections of our people were he only a private citizen and not the personal representative of the King." In replying, His Excellency said that during the last two years, and especially during the last nine months, he had had the opportunity to learn something of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Much of the credit of Canada's progress was due to the pioneers who built that railway. Wherever he had gone he had admired its efficiency and the efficiency of its officers, and the care and consideration they gave to the comfort and the well-being of those who used their lines. In his recent tour in the west he had had the opportunity to see what the C.P.R. was doing in connection with large irrigation schemes there whereby they were turning lands that would not be suitable for cultivation intc smiling farmlands capable of supporting a large population. Canada also was noted as a great hotel try and he thought that the for this was due in no small part to the Canadian Pacific Railway with its chain of buildings across the continent. Before concluding he also touched on the influence of the com pany on the industrial life of thi Dominion. But above all, 1 feel that the company is a link binding the Dominion of Canada with my mother country," he ended amid cheers. Replying to the toast to the Do-inion of Canada, Right Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King said that during the last few days everybody must have been stirred by the marvellous story of our nation. When one reflected one was impressed by the parts played by the City of Quebec and the Canadian Pacific Railway the history of the nation, he s " "I have just returned from a trip m the history of the nation, he said, to Western Canada where he had) Reviewing Quebec's history, he ask- ed where there was a more beautiful symbol of a nation than the joint monument to Wolfe and Montcalm. Another feature of early Canadian life was the part played in Canadian development in transportation by water. Then followed confederation and the development of the country by transportation by land and by the Canadian Pacific Railway. 'Quoting a letter from Sir Robert Borden the Premier read that had it not been for the French along the St. Lawrence there would have been no British Dominion in Canada today. It was conceivable, said the Premier, that if the Canadian Pacific Railway had not been built that there would have been no British Dominion in western Canada today. There was a danger of penetration from the south, but the C.P.R. brought British settlers through to the West. "We have been celebrating the development of the former colonies into a mighty nation. We have forward from a colonial status into a national status, the Premier went on. The new development was international direction in which the development of water transportation again came to the fore, as typified, he thought, by the Empress of Australia." He concluded by paying a personal tribute to Mr. Beatty and the co-operation-he has always received from him. 'The pioneers of industry, education and religion, all labored! here," said Hon. W. D. Ross, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, in proposing the toast of "The Province of Quebec." "All Canada owes a debt to Que-, bee and to her loyalty. If she had not stood loyal at the time of the American revolution it is probable should have no confederation to celebrate," he said. ^ Hon. Narcisse Perodeau, Lieutenant Governor of the Province of Quebec, in replying, welcomed the last speaker's words and expressed! a hope for closer co-operation between the two provinces.
