CANADArS NEW ERA,

The present week marks the beginning Of
nomentous new era in Canadian history and
the taking of long and practically irreyoeabe
step toward complete nationality. BY that we
do not mean necessarily q nationality 1nde-
pendent of the British Empire, of which no
indications are perceptible, but rather nation
ality within the Empire, beneficent alike to
the Empire as a whole and to the Dominion
as one of its autonomous members The fact
that every detail of this new departure" has
been discussed and agreed to by the Imperial
and Dominion governments shows how perfect
the accord between them remains. Indeed, 1t
is more in a spirit of loyal helpfulness to the
Mother Country than in one of incipient sepa-
ration from her that these interesting changes
being made
The imperial garrisonS are now being with
drawn from Halifax and Esquimault, and are
being replaced with Canadian troops. That fact
in itself would form a milestone in Dominion
history. But that is by no means all. Plans
are being matured for the organization of a
large standing army and q still larger effec-
tive reserve in Canada and for the building
OF a Canadian navy. The latter @roject is now
being discussed in London by the government
there and Mr.. PrefOntaine. the Canadian Min
lister of Marine. The size of the proposed navy
is not yet disclosed. but it is assumed there
will be considera BILE squadron in the Atlantic
and another in the Pacific As for the army,
it is to be created the plans arranged by
Lord DundOnald 1t will comprise a total force
Of 100000, of which one-half will be line Of
defence and one-half volunteers. OF the for
mer, 10000 will be enrolled for war alone, and
10000 for both war and peace; and of the
whole 100000 one-thrd will always be serving
with the colors
Canada will thus, in proportion to its popula-
ton, have a much larger actual army than the
United States, and it may in tine build com
parably strong navy. The purpose Of such
development OF military force is of course,
obvious. 1t is for the general aid of the whole
Empire. 1t is not for defence against American
aggression, for every thoughtful man knows
that viii never be offered. Neither is it for
the defence of the Dominion, per sc, against
any other power, for it is not conceivable that
any other power will attack Canada. The aim
is to let Great Britain have every of her
men and ships for use elsewhere, If neces-
sary, and also TO make it possible for Canada
promptly and efficiently to send reinforcements
to the imperial aid. In such correct view Of
the case, this weeks achievements and their
further promise may be regarded with entire
eomplacency in the United States, and with
profound satisfaction in all parts Of the British
Empire.

A RELATED INTENTION

Following the illustrious example of the
Mikado in infOr ming the spirits of his ancestors
of Japan's triumph, it would seem to be
in order for some kindly pedagogue to inform
the shade of Ichabod Crane and other school
masters of the oden time that Professor Dennis
of East Pennsylvania, a suburb of Peoria, Ill,
has invented an electric spanking machine. All
that is necessary when Professor Dennis thinks
an unruIy pupil has reached that stage at which
a physical reminder of his transgressions is ap-
propriate is to place the offending pupil on a
certain chair and then press a button, which
brings two or more paddles into action The
paddles do the rest.
It is sad to think of the lost tales of AfiIetus
the lost books of Lfvy, the missing poems of
Homer and Sappho and all the wealth of ancient
learning and genius that vanished during the
dark ages: but it is safe to say that the recovery
of of these, of all of them combined
would have given pedagogues of an earlier day
half so much pleasure and satisfaction they
would have derived from the possession of an
electric spanking machine. What a boon, for in
stance, would the present invention have been to
that Suabian schoOlmaster of whom it is recorded
in Cooper's History of the Rod that during his
ffty-one years superintendence of large school
he had given 911,500 canings 900 foggings
100000 custodes. 10000 tips with the ruler and
10,2O0 boxes the ear, and that he had made
700 boys stand barefooted on peas 5000 kneel
on a sharp edge of wood, 5000 wear the fools
cap and 1 700 hold the rod By all means if
Professor Dennis should undertake to inform
the shades of the pedagogic world of his inven-
ton let him first communicate with that illus
trious performer. 1t is not probable that Pro-
fessor Dennis has yet brought his spanking ma
chine to such degree of perfection that he can
make the punishment fit the crime to abso-
lutte nicely, did the ancient Suabian. Still
had the latter by some such device as that
which is now at the service of our school
masters been relieved Of the physical exertion
put forth in the canings and foggngs which
he administered. to say nothing of the other
physical Indictments to learning which must
have made his days busy it is barely possible
he might have had time TO do something besides
fiogging pupils to render his name famous in the
history of pedagogy.
Gladly as would the pedagogues of the darker
ages have hailed such a labor saving device as
that of Professor Dennis, it is to be feared his
talent has been misappiied The demand for the
rod and for spanking apparatus generally has

onethird OF the S1S4.000,000 which was orig

Truly, an appalling showing, calling, we should
say. for some punishment that would be humor-
Gus but lingering with melted lead or boiling
oil in it.
That is, If the figuring we have cited were in

of course. as sehooboys less wise than Macau-
lays famous youngster should know that the
original estimate was S10,000,000 for right Of
way s4OOOO,OO0 for the French company's prop
erty and S134, 100000 for construction, including
sanitation, etc. Now, we have paid the first wo
items in full, and they are permanently disposed
of Upon the third item we shall have spent by
July next only $16,000,000 In two years. That
is at the rate of $S.000,0O0 year. If the canal
is to be built in ten years, as people demand and
at a cost of S134 100000 for actual construction,
it is quite evident that money must be spent on
it at the rate not of SS0OO000 but of S13400,000
a year. so that the criticism-if any were prop
erly to be made-should be that not enough
rather than too much money had been spent. 1t
is not that we have spent more than one-third or
s1S4,0O0,000, but that we have spent little
more than oneeighth OF $134,000000 in one
fifth or one-sfxth of the time estimated to be
spent in the whole work. Moreover, 1t is obvi-
Gus that expenditures likely TO be greater
at the beginning than further on in the enter
prise because of the necessity Of purchasing
machinery, etc, which will be used all through
the work. When these circumstances are taken
info account there is little fear that the COM
mission will be convicted of spending money too
rapidly.

ar tbe exnenditure of single dollar in campaign
oxnenses' At the best 70 per cent of the money
snent and the strategy applied in the national
campaigns of the last thirty years has been
wasted.
The American public has passed the stage of
noIi+ical education at which it could be pro-
foundly affected by torchligbt parades and
..spellbinder" oratory; and we shall soon have
our election laws amended so as TO reduce TO
minimum the value of old fashioned masters
OF campaign strategy. The publicity measure
which the President recommends will cure the
folly of wasteful contributions. 1t will end cam
paigning for the mere sake of campaigning. Yet,
on the other hand, it will discourage no one from
giving what he sees fit to a political cause in
which he is ready to confess an open and
legitimate interest.
New-York tribune., 1905-11-24
NATIONAL CAMPAIGN EXPENDITURES.

Most of the election law reforms now de-
manded by public sentiment fall within the
sphere of state action. Each state is entitled to
decide-and must decide-what further safe
guards should be thrown about the ballot. The
most pressing need Of the hour is a system under
which the voter can express his exact wishes
without bindrance and under which the election
officers duties and responsibilities are greatly
simplified. Each state must work out its own
problem in its own way; but there seems TO be
at least one reform in which the federal govern
ment can lend hand, and we trust that the agi-
tation general for better electoral meth
DDS will force the consideration by Congress of
the admirable suggestions contained in President
Roosevet's last annual message. These sugges-
tions which could not be worked out at the short
session are as pertinent to-day as they were a
year ago, and Congress would only yield TO a uni
yersal demand in writing them into the statute
book.
The President proposes to compel by federal
action an accounting on the part Of all political
committees engaged in managing campaigns for
Congress or for the Presidency. The National
and Congress committees of the various national
organizations would be made 10 open their books,
and all subscriptions received and expenditures
incurred would be reported and published. law
recurring publicity in political management would
be great step forward. 1t would clear the air
OF politics and break down many supersutons
which have long deuded multitude of citizens
One of these superstitions has been that no ma
doHal campaign could be without invoking
the strategy OF the trained professional politician
and without the expenditure of vast sums OF
money to carry that strategy into execution. Yet
our last two national elections have shown that
political strategy and campaign disbursements
have been in large measure both futile and
superfuous. Ii is clear that William Mckinley
could have been elected in 1900 and that Theo-
dore Roosevelt could have been elected in 1904
without the opening Of national headquarters
