Henry Hudson was a great man by mature] yet the fawe which he won was 10 great medsure' thrust epon him. It vests entirely on four voy- which were all unsuccessful as their immediate objeet--the ol a commercial passage to and shorter than that Famous History ages regards discovery Chins other ib he Cape of Good Hepe has been described as he nor- { i produc of a greai epoch, ""'Nei- before por since his time could afy man have conceived a project' at reasonable and so unreason- able, so dependent upon sober logic and upon baseless fable, upon newly once s0 | awakened knowledge and old sapersts- as that which urged him again again to penetrate the barriers unknown west for a pathway tion and of an | 0 an impossible east." It was a consequence of the times in which he lived that every known effort of Hudson's life was baffled or al least bampered by the mem who sailed with him. Neither by birth, residence, language nor sympathy was he a Hollander. He was an English- man, whose ignorance of the Dutch language and characteristies impelled the Dutch portion of his crew to actual mutiny on the third and most | famous of his voyages---that under- taken in 1609 at the expense of the Dutch East India Co. This mutinous spirit turned him aside from the prosecution of the plan to which he was pledged, but by the exercise of a fraction of his rightful authority, by the use of such diplomatic skill as he possessed and by the buoyancy of an unyielding hope he effected a compro- mise which enabled him to bring the Half Moon to the North Ameriean coast to discover the mouth of the great river which now bears his name, to sail up ite waters for 150 miles and to make possible the Dutch set- tlement on Manhattan Island which | was to be fraught with such epoch making consequences, His fourth and last voyage, in 1610, | resulted in the discovery of the strait now known as Hudson Strait and the great bay which has received the name of Hudson Bay. Yet it. is a | notable faet that the Hollanders, in | whose service Hudson sailed showed | no appreciation of the value of his explorations, and that neither the | makers of their charts, nor the gov- 'of their merchants deemed his ac ts on the Am- erican coast wo mention an some time after his death. Thus it happens that of Hudson's | personal history nothing is known be- fore April 19, 1607, when he sailed from London on his first voyage, or after June 21, 1611, when the-crew of erning boar | the Discoverer mutinied on their way back through the straits, put him, his | son and seven loyal sailors into a ['shallop and cat (them adrift, The | ringleaders and half the erew perish- wed miserably, but the Discoverer was finally brought home to London, | where the survivors were obliged to stand trial for their share in the events that culminated in the aban- donment of Hodson. Several expedi- | tions were organized to search for | Hudson and gen companions, but they were all unsuccessful. Hudson Bay remains at once his monument and | his grave. Only from fragmentary journals can | the historian piece together the nar-- rative of those four years of wandering. | They suffice to show that Hudson was an intrepid, skillful, persevering explorer, who maintained no novel theories and made no startling orig- inal discoveries, but who was cer- tainly a contributor to the world's store of knowledge and a promoter of enterpriess that have added to its { Progress. It detracts nothing from our esti- mate of this remdrkable man to | acknowledge the explorations and la- bors of others who preceded him. As {| Mr. Bacon, a writer who has recently written a volume on the subject, puts chief value of his third voy- thoroughness and timeliness. "We believe that previous to 1609 geographers had some information concerning a stream that flowed south- ward and debouched into the ocean about the latitude and longitude of Manhattan Island." Mr. Bacon exam- ineg the claims of his alleged prede- cogsors, and decides that among them Verazzano and Gomez probably ae- complished the passage of the Nar. rows before Hudson was born. "We may consent to abandon Hudson the discoverer, but we insist upon doing honor te Hudson the explorer.

"For you, of Canada, this wind tha put out the wild life of the American West, is not an ill wind, for it ha enhanced the value of your wilder | ness. 'At the sf¥me time; it has taught you, if yo care to have it so, a vala able lesson--to hold what you have. "But first of all you must save the shelter, The forest is the natural home of big game. Destroy your for ests, and your game will go. and desolation will brood over this land that Ged made most fair. "The preservation of the forest need entail no expense to the fate There are forests in Switzerland that have been cut over 400 years, and the annual revenue increases as the years go by. The old saying that you can- not have your cake and eat it too does not hold good here, lumbering you cut out the old trees and encourage the young ones. It would be almost as foolish to let your forests go to waste uncut, as to allow them to be lumbered wasteiully Mark them, and reap the rich reward, but work them up in Canada. . "If an American manufacturer wants to work up your raw material, compel him to come across. The idea used to prevail that the big plant came to Canada for cheap-labor. That is not go to-day. The International Harvester Co. pays precisely the same scale of wages in Hamilton and Chi- cago, and still saves thirty vents on the first" cost of producing a certain machine in Canada. Whatever the answer to this, it is certainly no re- flection upon Canadian workmen. Speaking now as a Canadian to Cana- dians (I'm at least a half-breed), I say let Americans and Ameri tal come and assist in turning count the rich: resources of the inion, and in developing your coln- try, but let them do their developing above the boundary: - "Certainly cut and market your merchantable timber, but the cutting should be done intelligently, and all brush and debris burned as the cutting proceeds, which reduces the danger from forest fires, and leaves the soil fit for new seed. No acre of forest should be mown like a meiidow, leaving only a hateful stubble of stumps. Uncle Sam is cutting one hundred billion feet of lumber annually and growing thirty-five billion feet to fill the gap. Thirty years at this pace will clear his land. "Broady there are two kinds of lands in Ontario--land fit for settle. ment and land fit for forests. All you have to do is to spy out. survey and separate these rich lands will all yield rich returns.

Mr. Willian Mackenzie, | returned to the eight months' trip abr6ad He expressed himself as well pleas ed with his success from a financial standpoint and intimated that a large amount of work would be the Canadian Northern during the coming vear. He said that the finan- cial panic in the United States, al- though of course regrettable, had .had the effect of emphasizing the sound- ness of our banking system and the fact that we were quite able to stand alone. Tu fact, we did not feel ie collapse in the States any more than European countries, or, in other words, all the whole thing amounted to was a touch of nerves. The result is that our credit in Europe is better now than it has ever been ! "The eounwy is now, and continue to need capital from outside Tt is very "wnuch like a rapidly grow- ing 'boy: The' more his strength in. creases the more food and clothes he requires." With respect to immigration. Mr. Mackenzie had found no evidence of | any check in the flow to Canada. This | depended chiefly on the reports of the | people already settled, and their ex- | cellent accounts of the splendid land in the west would continue to attract a constantly increasing stream. 'He was of the opinion that British public opinion was in favor of the All-red line if it could be shown that it would pay, and on that condition it would be freely subsidized.

We exalt small people, and call them great We commonplace. We beatify We call medioerity--genius, fourth-rate politician is the heaven sent statesman. And about our Par- liament squares we have statues which we will one day want to hide in the cellar. When we get older, we will have fewer statues by the way. That is the law of life and of nations. In youth we make friends without thinking. In middle life, we classify and winnow them. When there is no mentioning, statues to merely wealthy men, as though there were any grace or virtue in dollars. We have stijl- world has still--the bad habit of put f ting up statues to individuals who kill people--by profession.
