Canada does not like to be thought
any less democratic or independent
than any other government on this
continent. the United States for ex-
ample. Our esteemed contemporary.
the Montreal Herald, protests against
the idea of calling Canada a kingdom

be Joined to the past. We have only
growing population of industrious
freemen, knowing no castles or classes,
and government that is truly by the
people and for the people" We like
to hear Canadians quoting Lincoln, for
our great president summed up the
idea of free government in
his immortal phrase.
