CANADA VS.. PHYSICAL FACTS
Vigorous Climate and Dangerous Waters
Hold Dominion Back.

doto DOMINION 08Cks
In 1897, when Sir Wilfrid Lauriei
was enjoying himself as one of the col
onial premiers who took leading part
in the queens jubilee in London, both
in London and in Paris, particularly in
Paris, he went out of his way to slur
the United States and plant future for
Canada, which largely ignored the ply
geographic, photographic and climatic eff
fects. Canada was to surpass the Unit
ed States as only first magnitude star
could surpass another and lesser star in
glory. But, unfortunately, the climatic
facts will not down. Immigrants will
not go to country that has six months
winter and an uncertain summer, with
wretched communications and shipping
interests and are avoiding route to the
new world that is notorious for its dam
gers.
Though the slow growth of the pop
ulation of Canada has worried the lead
ers of the dominion and the Canadian
publicists, they are still taking cold COM
fort in the alleged fact that the growth
of Canada, when one considers the
healthy and stable character of this in
crease, as compared with the vast hordes
of impoverished alien outcasts who con-
tribute so largely to the increase for the
corresponding period in the neighboring
Republic of America" gives slight cause
for disappointment. Moreover, they are
still pointing out that the climateric mo-
ment is about to arrive when the tide
will turn and Canady's snowy wastes
will swarm with untold millions of peo-
pie and its dangerous waters will be
crowded with busy shipping. But the
facts are otherwise. The recent census
of Canada reveals an increase of 81 per
cent. only, which gives total popula-
ton of 100000 just one million, in
round numbers, behind Pennsylvania
population of 6,3oI,365. From these fig
ures of Canadian growth and the known
total of immigration, it is clear there is
no movement of immigrants from the
United States to Canada as has been as
serted, nor any repatriation of thrifty
Canadians who have sought the United
States in order to earn living" nor
any drift from the old world.
Moreover, while the census reveals the
fact that the world still gives some at
tention to the snow line, and to the is
othermal of zero weather, an even more
serious blow has been struck at Csnada's
claims by the refusal of British insurance
companies to handle policies for vessels
trading in St. Lawrence waters The
disasters of the past few years have but
clinched, in the minds of the shippers,
the great risks involved, and though
an effort has been made to form Ca
madam Lloyds, with government backing,
the shippers who have abandoned the
Canadian route will not have anything
more to do with it.-Philddelphia Press.

Upon entering, uniforms and implements
are furnished free to each boy. The first
sixpence earned is his, for his dinner.
The remainder of the days earnings are
divided into three parts, one to be used
as he pleases, one to go to the society
and one to be placed to his credit in the
bank. Against his bank account such
items as polishes, brushes, etc, are
charged. The boys leave the institu-

scattered all over the world. The total

CUBANS POST PLACARDS.


Signed "George Washington"
Havana March 10.-Although TIE po-
litical demonstrations have ended, the
radical element in the Cuban constitu-
tional convention has not given up hope
that the United States will reeede from
the position taken regarding the Platt
amendment. The radical press is doing
everything in it's power to keep this
view before the public. 1t attributes
the action of the United States congress
to the influence of the trusts, declaring
that the American people ARE in favor
of giving Cuba absolute independence
and of rebuking the action of the adj
ministration." Articles from American
papers which seem to sustain the atti-
tude of the convention are given wide
publicity.
Placards have been posted which read
thus: ITO the People of the United
States-Do not make any promises that
you are not sure to keep, and never go
back on the word you have given.
(Signed) George Washington"
This is recommended to the consider
alton of all worthy compatriots of the

is the burning of London. I am not
taking that job because it is too big a
one, but If there is any man who thinks
he can go over and do in London what
Kitchener is doing in the Transvaal 1
will not try to stop him. I believe that
there is still hope for Ireland because
I know that the French government
has during the past five months slowed

coal in that fashion one would naturally
believe that they are going to make it

Persons Exposed to Plague Escape In

Cape Town. March 10. - The official
reports regarding the progress of the
bubonic plague in Cape Town since the
outbreak show a total of twenty-five
deaths and 1902 cases. The Malays gath

Malay who had been attacked by the
disease, and of several'persons who had
come into contact with the victim. The
police were overpowered and the per-
sons who had come into contact with
the Malay made their escape. In the
event of a repetition of this experience,
1t will be necessary to employ armed
force, so that thouble is anticipated.
