CANADA JOINS HANDS.
Postmaster General Lemieux of Canada
Tells Of Cordial Relations.

4tAn VI (NAhAoA AN~AHAANAes
Postmaster General Rudolph Lemieux
Of Canada brought the fluctuations OF
Canada, saying in closing:
Assembled here, on the historic shores
Of Lake Champlain, the representatives,
Of three great nations can well afford to
proclaim before the whole world chat
the arts Of peace are above all the most
civilzing
"The entente cordiale between France
and England has given Europe the as
srrance Of a long period Of rest. The
ties Of friendship which bind Great Bril-
tain to the American republic have re-
moved from the New World all causes
Of friction
"What better evidence could be given
Of the existence Of that friendly spirit
than that for nearly century the polic-
ing Of the Great Lakes has been reduced
to a minimum Of armed cruisersf
'What better evidence Of sincere
mutual affection between the two na-
tions than that within a very short
period Of time five treaties affecting Can
ada and the United States have been
negotiated signed and ratified; a sixth
awaits ratification, and a seventh is al
most completed.
"This Is indeed an inspiring example to
the whole world two nations separated
only BY a boundary line-whieh for three
thousand miles have no other protection
against hostilities than the fixed and
settled determination Of both people to
pursue in peace the different paths which
they have been treading for more than
one hundred years
Under different flags we are pressing
toward single goal; freedom, righteous
ness and duty thus uniting in the lofti-
est Of hopes, aspirations and ideals"

HON. JAMES BRYcEs ADDRESS.
CounseIs Vermont to Retain The Beau,
ties of Nature as much as Possible.

Ambassador James Bryce of Great
Britain spoke in part today as follows:
"0f all that has happened since Cham
plain discovered what was to become
the state Of Vermont, and Of the long
process By which this region was filed
with the stalwart race Of the Green
Mountain Boys, many Of whom have
become 70 famous in your history,
have no time to speak Leaping across
the centuries to see what the shores Of
your lake are now, one IL struck by
the thought how different the present
is from what anyone fancied it would
be, how all the purposes Of man are
overruled, how little anyone can fore
tell the results Of his own work and
the fate Of the lands he has discovered.
Samuel Champlain journeyed and stroye
for the dominion of the king of France,
for the trade in furs, for the conversion
Of the Indians. The king of France has
gone, the fms have gone, the Indians
have gone. The lake seemed supurb
highway for trade. and when the first
steam vessel was launched upon it in 1905
men must again have expected it to
become such a highway. But soon az
terwards railways began to be made,
and by the time that the lands to the
North and South had abundance Of
passengers and freight to send, the
railroads were ready to carry both.
Now your lake IS chiefly valuable for
its fisheries, which trust will be mach
developed and improved under the
treaty which Mr.. Root and had the
pleasure Of negotiating last year, and
for the varied beaaty of its winding
shores, backed BY picturesque mountain
groups 1t is now, after much strife, a
peaceful lake, on whose banks Cana
dams Of English and French speech and
Americans dwell in friendship which
we trust will never be broken.
We may wonder what history has in
store for it in the future / have lust
spoken of the failure Of prophecies, yet
am tempted to indulge myself in a pro-
phecy which may be made the more
safely because before the time when its
correctness can be determined the pro-
phet himself win have been forgotten.
The shores of Lake Champlain do not
seem likely to be the chosen home
either of any great agricultural or Of
any great manufacturing industry.
There are still some forests, and there
NAV possibly be mineral wealth not
vet revealed. But the greatest asset
of Vermont seems to be its men. the
race. vigorous IN mind and body, that
inhabit It, and the varied beauty of its
wild and romantic nature.
As wealth goes on increasing in these
reoians al the Middle West to which
nature has given a richer sail and a pro-
fusion Of minerals, but far less beauty,
as we'll as n the gigantic cities Of the
Eastern states there will be an ever
increasing longing among the people TO
