(Continued from Page One.) Some of our new citizens believe that we should emulate the U.S.A. | in everything. Their ideal seems to be the Chinese tailor who copies | everything right down to the patches. Our idea is to take the best and leave the worst. Therefore, we hope for a national type that shall be distinct. Our goal is not second-hand Americanism. Our goal is a clean-out- | out-and-out Canadianism, without prefixes and without hyphens. i We hear so much about our heritage as a new nation, it might not | be amiss for us to give a little thought to our heritage from an old empire, an empire to which we still belong. After the revolutionary war of the thirteen colonies, certain of their | citizens spent a great deal of time crying out aga! .. kings and against rulers. We, in Canada, happily remained within the family circle of the Old Grey Mother, hence we escaped certain antipathies of our neigh- bor. Victoria the Good, Edward the Peacemaker, and George the Fifth have softened to Canadian hearts that system of government which the United States has reprehended. As James Anthony Froude sald in his inaugural address at Oxford: "Because the captain of a ship has proved unfit for his post, it does not follow that there shall be no captain, or! that the crew shall choose their own." ' We Canadians are satisfied that we enjoy the freest government on earth, the most quickly responsive to the will of the people. A progres- sive and independent new world nation, we yet remain under the mon- archical system, and we are proud of this latter fact. The British crown for us Is a touchstone of a thousand years of British history, symbol of a spiritual empire, whose old renown inspires | | us to play up to the best, not down to the worst. | Certain American thinkers, in the beginning, promulgated a false ideal of equality. This purely academic theory they have striven in vain ' to reconcile to the basic facts of life. | To-day, for many Americans of pure stock, who are thinking deeply, ! this equality falsehood is clearly apparent; in this age of the melting-pot | that will not melt. | In the private collection of Alba Johnson is an autograph letter from ' Thomas Jefferson on the necessary distinctions, and the recognition of | rightful authority. ' As a theorist, in Virginia, Jefferson wrote, "All men are created free ' This was a doctrine destined to provide ammunition later such as Lenine and Trotsky, Years after Jefferson had enunciated his academic theory, when he had become president of the United States, he wrote the letter now in the Johnson collection, in which he held forth on the unescapable dis- tinctions. It was the president, the man in authority, who gave expres- sion to this sober second thought. - i The theory of levelling-up may form a diversion for the irresponsible mass, but it does not go with ruler at the head of the nation, nor with the chief at the head of the works. The Jack"s-as-good-as-his-master notion is the idea that's got the world topsy turvy to-day. A clap-trap nostrum aiming at the triumph of the unfit is a travesty on the classic content of the word Democracy, Against such false theory, as an actual fact, stands the Britigh monarchy representing those in authority and those under authority. i James Fitzjames Stephen, in his reply to John Stuart MiH, averred that the promulgation of that command, "Honor thy father and thy moth- er," did infinitely more for the permenancy and the stability of human institutions than all this loud sounding chatter on "Liberty, Fraternity, and Equality." On account of a recent 'magazine article of mine, I received a com- plaint from one who objected 'to my argument for the man higher up. and wrote saying: "Are you not aware that the rule of the majority over the minority is coming ?" . ' | To this communication 1 replied: "No, I am not aware that the rule of the majority over the minority is coming, for that would be no rule at all. I bave just come in from a big storm at sea, but out there.in the midst of the storm my mind, was at peace. Why ?. Because the captain was on the bridge. You say you want the riff-reff from the forecastle | on the bridge. Well, for myself, on the Ship of State, and on every other ship, | want the captain on the bridge." : We may fool ourselves in times of calm, but always there come the testing times of storm ,and always in such stress, instinctively, we cry out for the one true captain. Which brings us to the conclusion that even x Democracy must have at the core its oligarchic principle. oh On. the northern halt of this North continent jt is for Canada to make her own peculiar Perhaps i may even yet be able to evolve a new world old and the best of the mew are blended in what styled Aristo-democracy. : : 3 Trick of : force the pressures on the gears When you want to Shift into meu-| th r teeth su: tral, either to coast or to shift to an- Te Seve sb. other speed, always speed up a little. culty of pull It this is bot done the gears wili' Speeding up stick a little, even to a point of re-| usualy tend sisting a ge until the car has| sures, : slowed down almost to a standstill. e - } When the eng ne is pulling the driv-| Love is the only fire that is enous: lng gears too vigorously, or when to melt the jron obstinacy of & crea ¥ the car itself ig exerting a varylag Ls After Sup Opportunities for thrifty shoppers to effect savings are of- fered for to-night.
