With Liberty" upon their lips
Till all the world be free.

Toronto, Ont, Nov. 29.-Speaking at

College last night. in reply to the toast OF
..The Dominion Parliament" Sir Charles
HILBERT Tuppcr said that it was most graf
flying to see the vastly increased interest
taken by the imperial government In the co.,
onies.
Instead of the colonial secretary now hav-
ing to ask-to quote a historic expression
where are these damned colonies? He
rather devoted himself to seeing which OF
them were best adapted for the investment
OF great sums of capital.
Touching the copyright question, Sir
Charles remarked that just as in their var
fous contests with the Dominion govern
nient the provinces usually came out ahead ,
SO did the Dominion government IN Its
contests with the imperial government
No imperial government, said Sir Charles,
