Why should not Canada have her
own diplomatic agents in Washing
ton? Her right in this respect is in
disputable and the necessity for the
exercise of that right is equally indis-
putable 1t is manifest that great
obstacle to a vast development of
trade relations between the United
States and Canada is the complicated
and antiquated system of diplomacy
that now hampers intercourse between
the governments. 1t should be the OBJ
ject of the people on both sides of the
border to get rid of that system and
to replace it with one more in accord
ance with modern ideas and more COM
patible with the real Importance and
national dignity of Canada.

A FIzzLE TO BE AVOIDED.


It would be a pitiable outcome II the
government prosecution Of the sugar
trust frauds should begin and end with
the punishment of the small thieves,
who did their stealing for. their en-
ployer as a matter of hire, with the
most trifling participation in the pro-
ceeds of their thievery. Unless some
of the larger scoundrels shall be
caught in the net spread for the
smaller scoundrels, and properly pun
ished for their criminal practices, the
work of the prosecution will have been
in vain. The law has no deterrent
value which is only effective for the
filming and failing of puppets, while
the real offenders escape unscathed.
