American love Of a fair fight and SYM
pathy for the under dog. If Canada
should become involved in trouble with
England, there would rally around the
Canadian standard more American
volunteers than there would be fight
ing men in the Dominion. In such an
event it. is certain that Canada would
get the larger part of her army from
among the people she Is trying per-
suade herself she is hostile to.
Antipath1es Will Die Out.
John w. Dafoe. the eminent Cana
dian journalist, says that the feeling
of hostility in Canada for the .Ameri-
cans can easily be overestimated, and
that the constantly increasing COM
merce between the two countries will
eventually be too much for the poll
,ticans whose business it Is to keep ex-
isting antipathies awake, This is the
sane, hopeful view. Canada will be
great If she courts the good will and
prestige of the United States. If she
sets herself up against the strength
and power Of her great neighbor, she
will be crushed. The weak cannot
possibly hope to successfully contend
against the strong. In the past, Can
ada has almost stood still, and, on
account Of her lack of consequence,
has not figured to any great extent one
way or the other. Now that she is
coming forward, it will be suicide for
her, at the outset, to challenge COM
petition that cannot but be too strong
for her. ~. 5.-s.s.-. -.-

The American Influx.
The destiny of Canada, If from no
other consideration than proximity, is
with the United States. It is true that
it can no more afford to fight us COM
mercially than to start any.other kind
Of hostility. But our. neighbors viii
not always hold out against u.s. The

An .Unsound Argument.
Pittsburg DISPATCH,

In all great enterprises many brains
are required to plan the details that
go to make up the whole work. But
back Of all there must be one head
there must be the general, the master
mind. The most .prejudiced must adj
nit that In the building UP Of the
Wabash and the Missouri Pacific sys-
TENS there have been displayed re-
markable head work and keen fore
sight. The big transcontinental
scheme vas not the ebu1hton OF a
dreamer who, because he had millions
at his beck and call, believed that he
had but to. express his imperial will
and his desires would be put into
execution He. knew that it takes
something besides mere money, to
build railroads across continents.
Every little objection and every pos
sible hitch was seen intuitively in ad-
vance. First the obstacles were con-
sidered and then ways to overcome
them were devised. No expert chess
player ever planned a game so far
ahead as this wonderful game Of rail-
roads was planned. It required we'll
laid projects to enter the strongest
fortress of powerful and aggressive
enemy like the Pennsylvania company
and beat it at it's own tactics. It re-
quired something besides mere bra
vado to beard the Morgan lion in
his den. And SO it has been at every
point. Each move Of the opposition
has been promptly met and it's eff
fects cOunteracted. .''"' ="
To whom does the credit belong?
If one will stop to think a, moment
he will see that the first conception
Of this project was in the" mind of
George j. Gould. He was planning
railroad expansion when he made
friends with John D., Rockefeller,
gaining to his side the most powerful
man in the world. He STRENGTHENED
his main bulWark--llis entrance into
Pittsburg-When he made the con-
tract with Andrew Carnegie, which
compels his very enemies to furnish
him with the sinews Of war with
which to fight them. He cemented,
the friendship of Russell Sage and
has had the benefit Of his. advice and
his millions. Thru the influence Of

Holland, M. P, told the Canadians:
Y GU must remember It is easier
for Canada to give preference than
for Great Britain to give one. Can
ada has only to take off the coping,
so to speak, from her tariff wall in
favor Of Great Britain. But Great
Britain must first put up a wall before
she can take anything off for Canada.

After all, what objection do the

self to this effect. 1t is
plain that our neighbor
wonder OF it is that she should elect
herself to such big job. A strange
feature Of the situation Is that Canada
expects to draw from us the strength
with which to make this rivalry pos
stble. American money and American
settlers are responsible for the Cana
dian boom. No one in the Dominion
denies this fact, yet our neighbors
make no secret Of a growing feeling
the Canadians are making the mistake
of their lives. If they make 1t their
policy to rub Uncle Sam the wrong
way Of the grain it means that they
are letting contract for trouble. It
will be wisdom for Canada to train
with the Americans; folly for her to
Rntagonize them.
Whatever may have been the causes
that enabled the United States to be-
come more powerful than Canada,
the fact remains that 1t Is moro DOW
erful. Canada is certainly not in a.
position to do the chip-on- the-shoul-
der act with the United States. After
all is said and done the real interests
of the Canadians are with the Ameri-
cans-even more than with the Eng

men are now doing for Canada what
England never did and never will do
