THE BIRTHDAY HONORS Outside of the honors conferred up- on members of the civil service--~in re- cognition of officials grho have been a credit to the country and the cause which they espouse--the most notable instance of kingly favour is the con ferring of knighthood upon the gene- ral manager of the Bank of Montreal and the publisher of the Montreal Star Mr. Clouston is the representative | of the financial interests of Canada A year which was accentuated in banking cir cles It was met by the adoption of an extremely cautious policy. The general marager placed his finger up- on the public pulse, diagnosed the condition of the times, and prescrib- ed a course of treatment which was regarded as eminently wise and sane. He deserves knighthood and may be expected to carry it gracefully. Sir Hugh Graham is a representa- tive journalist, ed him with political ambitions, but there has been no evidence of it outside of the financial and personal support he has tendered to certain men. Knighthood means, in this case, a personal recogmition of per- sonal worth and as it comes to a newspaper man the newspaper pro- fession--perhaps the most independent | and least sycophantic in the world--| it may be expected to tender its con.| | gratulations.

Few of the old officials will repre sent the marine department at Quebec by the time the Cassels' commission closes its enquiry.

NO CHOICE IS GIVEN. Thanksgiving Day in Kingston was | very largely a holiday, a day of idle- | ness, since most: people after their Sunday were .restive and not in the | bumour for prolonged inactivity. The intent and 'meaning of the day were therefore obscured. The. object of iit was ignored. ¥ The proclamation' of 'the gojecnment should be read in!every pulpit' inthe land. It' should be: no formal doen- | ment. President 'Roosevelt caight 'the true spirit of the occasion--the 'spirit | that actuated * the Pilgrim" Fathers--. { and made of this message. to the peo- | ple a sermonette. Roosevelt was in real earnest about Thanksgiving: Day. So should every 'man and woman who | sits down "and gives "the "subject a | minute's -serious consideration. | + Perhaps there'is force in' the objec | tion to the .shifting of the date. There seems in Canada to be' no fixed idea «in regard to the day. lt varies from year "to 'year according to'the t vagaries or whims of the party 'in | power. The last' argument in favour of |a Monday for thanksgiving was, itis alleged, a concession to the com- mercial travellers. They must feel themselves. to be immensely flattered by this recognition of them. The mil- lions made subject to the convenience of thousands! The American goyetn- | ment is not moved by any special consideration for any class. Its | Thanksgiving Day, like election day, falls on the same date year after year {-. The date--whether it falls on a Moun. | day or a Thursday--should not afiect | the situation. Those who were. intenge- {ly religious--and thankful--will attend {a special service on any day, and in any kind of weather, The number may. bp small. The more's the pity. The service should be held, however, and no church is 'warranted in omitting it. A reference to .the season, "the crops, the harvest, will not do. There is a day set apart for meditation upon the works of Providende, and that day should be observed if there { } {is to be a reasonable response to the proclamation of the government.

THE STUDENTS' PARADE Was the Grandest Ever Held in Kingston. Queen's students' annual parade on Saturday evening was the best physiog demonstration ever held in Kingston by the collegians. It was half a mile inf length, and as it passed down Princess street, that thoroughfare was lit fsom end to end of the procession by rockets and other colored lights. Following | Marshal Pilkey and a band came the science men dressed to their chosen professions and led by decorated wag- gons with real emblems of their work. Next came the medicals whose burlesque of the General Hospital nurses wad really excellent. The "Meds" wore |. skulls for faces, and figures of "Death" | were weirdly represented. The arts men concluded the procession, the var- jous. years being strongly iformed. Many original ideas in dress and repre- sentations were introduced by the three t faculties and the students received | warm praise for their fine parade, which i was witnessed by thousands. 3
