Exploring Canadian Sentiment.

The Chicago Tribune has become
greatly interested in the subject Of
reciprocity with Canada and has sent a,
staff correspondent to visit the princi-
pal centers Of Canadian industry and
politics to ascertain what the attitude
of the Canadians now is toward the
Improvement of trade relations With
the United States. This correspondent
is finding out just what every inquirer
into this matter has found out before
him. That is that the people Of Can
ada have become Indifferent to rec1-
procity either because they have made
up their minds that there is no nope
of getting it, or because they have
found that they are able to get along
very we'll without reciprocity.
The correspondent agrees, too, with
the explorers of Canadian sentiment
who have gone before him, that it IS
by no means impossible to revive
Canadian interest in reciprocity. me
only way it can be revived, however,
is by the United States taking the
initiative and proposing such form OF
reciprocity as will appeal to the Cana
dams as holding out some very sub
stantial advantages to them. Cana
dian interest in reciprocity died be-
cause for so many years there was no
interest in the subject among Ameri-
cans. The Canadians can only be
stirred up on the subject again thru
the inspiration of American interest
in the subject. There is widespread
interest in this country in regard te
reciprocity with Canada, but so far
| it has not taken a form that strikes
the Canadians as being likely to &C.
complish anything. Not until the
dominant party in this country takes
up in earnest the subject of reciprocity
with Canada will the Canadians be
convinced that we care snap OF oul
fingers about bringing about better
! and fairer trade relations between the
two countries. In the meantime Cana.
dian policy travels along a road thai
it will be slow to retrace when the
United States is ready to talk bust.

ity, can do much to guard us against evil
tendencies" said Rev. DR.. Henry Van

Dyke, against which the spirit Of Christianity,
embodied in "a sane and yirile and lovable
literature" can do much to guard The
first is the growing idolatry of military glory
and conquest, "a literature that is Christian
the strongest thing in the world'' The second
is the growing idolatry of wealth. "a noble
literature truly in harmony with the spirit of
Christ, will reiterate in hundred forms of
beauty and power his teaching that "a mans
life CONSISTENT not in the abundance of the
things which he possesseth.' The third is
the growing spirit of frivolity. Zone of the
greatest services that Christianity can render
to current literature is to inspire it with a
nobler ambition and lift it to a higher level
