CHOICE MISCELLANY
The Republic of canada.

Twenty years ago ~ per cent of the
people of Canada would have wei
coined the annexation Of the Dominion
to the United States. Ten years ago
only 10 per cent of the men who think
thought seriously of such move. and
today no one ever mentions the matter
at all. Twenty years ago only few
dreamers dreamed of the republic OF
Canada. Ten years later 10 per cent OF
the people were in favor of ii. and to-
day twenty out of every hundred Ca
nadians would welcome the news that
Canada had cast off the cable that
moors her to the motherland and had
blossomed out as a nation
The relations between the people Of
the United States and of Canada will
grow more friendly and pleasanter as
the years go 10y because OF the whole
sale swapping OF citizens now going
on. Millions OF Canadians have gone
to the United States, and IN The next
decade millions OF Americans will have
crossed into Canada. We shall like
each other better as we see each other
more, for we North Americans are the
people-all of us.-Leslie's Monthly.
