Geography Asserting Itself.

Geography is asserting itself in Can
ada. The Canadians may not ike 10
admit it, but they are Americans. They
may sing God Save the King 800
days in the year, and imagine them
selves better Englishmen than the in
habitants of England, but the fact re-
mains that they are in America, that
their parents were here before them
and that they are American.
The Americanism of the Canadians
is now asserting itself in spite of them
selves They may go to the theater
and hiss the American flag, but they
are talking more and more about sep
aration, and they are beginning tofeel
a sort of humiliation in their sub-
lection to the British crown. The
Alaskan affair reminded them that
they were neither nation nor mem
Der of a. compact and homogeneous
empire, neither an American state nor
an American republic and yet vitality

and become either independent orain
reality or name a part of the United
States" The professor said that if
the present opportunity for unity Of
the empire were missed all the old
forces Of geograp llical separation from
Great Britain and the contiguity of
the United States would resume and
complete the work.
Even If the present opportunity to
realize unity shall be utilized, the
unity will be little more than paper
unity, for it will have to fight against
tendencies that are stronger than any
compact man can make. The eXpan-
sion of the United States to include the
whole North American continent is in
evitable. President Diaz is said to
have predicted that within a hundred
years Mexico will by her own free will
be g. part of the union. If Mexico
shall come to us in that time Canada
will be united with us much sooner.
At present nobody in the United States
has any real interest in turning the
Canadian provinces into American
states. Our people are supremely in
different for the most part as to what
goes on in Canada, and we are quite
content to let the Canadians go their
way.wilile we travel ours, but there
is scarcely a thinking American who
does not believe that the two ways
will one day be one and the same.
President Marroauin ignores President
Roosevelt and addresses the, senate di-
rectly Perhaps he thinks President
Roosevelt has ignored him and his whole
country, too.

railroads do not oppose the isthmtan

cheerfully, but at the end Of his remarks
on the subject he shows that he is be-.

says: AS a fact, we look upon it as.
Something which will increase the bust

railroads wall profit by it, That is the
situation exactly. The railroads that have,
for years been spending money to prevent
the building Of the canal might just as

Mark Twains story in the Christmas

mind twenty years before he wrote 1t,
and when he finally setsi 1t down on paper
the words came without break, nor
did he change a syllable Of 1t after 1t was

this is the only story he was ever able to
write in this way, as usually he has to
work hard over his short stories, writing
and rewriting them. The story Is en-
titled IA Dogs Tale, and begins thus:
my father was ST. Bernard, my mother
was e. collie, but / am Presbyterian"

The Team and the Town.

1t has been the custom for several
years for members Of the University
Athletic association, members Of the
faculty, alumni and a few of the most
enthusiastic supporters Of football to
give the university team dinner at
the close of the season. This has at
forded the special friends Of the game
and of college athletics a chance to
express themselves on the subject of
college sports in general and football
in particular and has no doubt been a
very pleasant occasion for all con-
cerned
But there is no reason why this
post-season event should be confined
to so few as are ordinarily assembled
at the team dinner. There are hun
dreds, perhaps thousands, in Mime
apolis who would like to participate
in some demonstration of appreciation
Of the team and it's work. Why not
give them a chance? Why wouldn't
it be good thing for the Commercial
club, which has taken no small inter-
est in the university team this year,
to arrange for a. public meeting in
honor Of it's victorious career at the
armory on Eighth street or at some
other convenient place when the team
comes home from Madison? A suit
able program could be provided for
without much effort. Such a mingling
Of town and gown would not only
stimulate college spirit among the stu
dents and encourage the members of
the team but promote interest among
the people Of the city in the university
and all that pertains to it.
We pass the suggestion on to the
Commercial club with the hope that
it may be acted upon. People actively
engaged in their own affairs do not al
ways appreciate the fact that the big
gest institution in this town is the
state university and that from the
commercial side alone it is one Of the
| most important in Minneapolis. We
can well afford to take an interest in
| it's affairs and promote its, welfare
There are not many ways in which this
can be done effectively, but the sug.
gestion here offered opens one. 81
