The British journalists who recently toured through Canada have been 'missionaries in a political as well as personal sense, and if others take the Sheffield Independent's view of it the educational campaign of Mr, Chamberlain they may be very largely neutralized. EDITORIAL NOTES, The Ottawa Journal wants Sir Wil. frid Laurier to "speak now" on the prefercatiol tariff question. A blast from Canada would help Chamber lain, -- Mr. Chamberlain resents the idea that he is not acting and speaking for the masses.
