The proposed retaliation of some or the backers of the Underwood resolution is ridiculous.

This would mean that the pulp and paper mills | of Canada would not be abla to rin | on a full capacity basis and would, | therefore, have to cut off their ex- | j ports to the States entirely.

A | realization of the aimlessness of life | lived to labor and to die, having achieved nothing but avoidance of starvation and 'tha birth of children also doomed to the weary treadmill, has seized the minds of millions." The conditions here described, says the New' York World, are those of modern manufacturing, involving concentrations of capital and labor formerly unknown. Into these 1im- mense combinations new and human ideas have been introduced in many places, but as a whole absentee em- | ployees have hardly distinguished | their working people from the ma- {chines to which they are tied.

There has, thanks to the shortage | of newsprint everywhere, and in the United States particularly, arisen a situation which is rather annoying but which is, at the shme time, vastly amusing. Following out the terms of the "Underwood Resolution," | there will be appointed by the presi- | dent of the United States, a commis- sion or committee of five to look into the embargo on the export of Cana- What is encouraging in his words is his unqualified admission that Eu- rope knows that an age is dying. Men In his station go not speak thus of changing eras without knowledge and reflection. The age that is dying is that of colossal industrialism con- ducted on lines, so far as labor is con- cerned, with much less interest and | humanity than was witnessd in the {old days when employer and em- ployee wrought side by side.

It was thought that the enemy in- tended to make a last great stand to save South Africa for his ple and keep the Britishers out of the city. But on the evening of the 4th it was known that there would be no more fighting for the stronghold. All that day of fighting the resistance of the foe had been comparatively slight. The British cavalry and the Mounted Infantry had chassed the flying Boers back to the city and the naval guns poured shells into the forts with which Pretoria was surrounded. But the forts were strangely silent--and so much had been expected of them. Early on the 5th the enemy pre- pared to quit the control of the city and the whole British force moved to within two miles of the city prepara- tory to the march in at 2 o'clock that afternoon. At that time Field Marshal Lord Roberts took up his sition in front of the Government Puildings and the silken flag that had fluttered over Bloemfontein, Kroon- stad and Johannesburg in the victori- ous advance of the British was run up amidst the wild cheering of the sol- diers--especially of those who had | been freed that day after months of | imprisonment in the prisoner's pen of | the enemy city.

What right any body of Americans, let alone a body appointed by the president, has to interfere with Canada, or any prov- ince or subdivision of Canada, in the administration of its own affairs, is very hard to see. But when the ex- isting cause for complaint is only imaginary, and those complaining have as much advantage here as in their own country, along this line, then the motives of such a resolution seem a mystery. a : The American holders of leases to Canadian pulp lands have been, and ' still are, making huge profits on their investment.
