FIRST AND FOURTH j
Before this paper is published j
again the principal annual holidays
of two great countries will have I
passed into history. The First of j
July, celebrated in Canada as Do-1
minion Day, commemorates the
confederation of the various pro
vinces of Canada into one domin
ion, the first step of the country
toward national greatness. The
Fourth of July is the anniversary
of that epochal occasion in 1776
when the patriots of the United
Colonies signed their Declaration
of Independence from the tyranical
rule of George III and laid the foun
dation of these United States.
Peace rules throughout both
lands. Prosperity is returning
with rapid strides. The people of
both countries fratemalize all along
the border line. It is fitting that
j so far as possible they should cel
ebrate both holidays together. The
flags of both countries are draped
together in everlasting remem
brance of their shoulder-to-shoul
der struggle against a world-wide
m’enace.
AN ANGEL ENTERTAINS
(Mining Truth)
A charming titled lady, with the
blue blood of Virginia running pell
mell in her veins, has come and
gone, leaving behind on her native
shores words of wisdom on every
cenceivablc subject, from babies’
care and woman’s rights to prohi
bition. Alw ys interesting and al
ways char lung, she emphasized
the lingual superiority of her sex
and suggested that the sunlight of
scintillating chatter may yet pierce
the ancestral gloom of the staid
old House of Commons. Reserving
for a gang-plank valedictory her
opinion on prohibition, this daugh
ter of Virginia brought joy to the
followers of Volsted when she af
fixed her pretty stamp of approval
; to a law that has made more crim
[ inals than all other laws in the
! history of her native country and
i brought all its law into contempt.
More than that, she gave a local
morning paper excuse for another
prohibition editorial, with her sweet
self as the theme. It was pardon
able oversight that no mention wa9
made of the fact that her words
were spoken within three miles of
freedom from meddlesome restraint
and as her face turned toward the
land of her adoption, where person-!
al freedom is still something more,
than a name. Charming as this!
lady iff, we hold our ground against j
her blandishments and record a
gentle “nay” to her conclusions.
Rather do we prefer to agree with
the greatest patriot of all, Abraham
Lincoln, when he said “Prohibition
will work great injury to the cause
of temperence. It is a species of
intemperence within itself, for it
goes beyond the bounds of reason,
in that it attempts to control a1
man’s appetite by legislation and
makes a crime out of things that
are not crimes. A prohibition law
strikes a blow at the very princi- j
pies on which our government was[
founded."
