ROYALTY WELCOMES THE
AMERICAN SETTLER
HIS ROYAL RICHNESS, THE DUKE
OF CoNNAUGHT, WELCOMES
AMERICANS TO CANADA.

1t was happy speech, that on that
beautiful October day. the Duke OF
Connaught, Governors General of Can
ada, made at Macleod, Alberta. It
was an opportune speech, heartfuI
and resonant with good fellowship.
And, as it was specially intended for
American ears, the audience, COM
prlsed largely of so many American
settlers in Canada, the time and place
could not have been better chosen.
1t was in reply to an address of well
come rendered to him at the pretty
city of Macleod, with the foothills of
the Rockies as a setting. and the
great wheat fields between. and in
fact all around the place as the fore
ground, that His Highness, true to the
best interests of the country and to
those of the Americans who choose
to make Canada their home, said in
part:
Il am well aware that among those
whom am now addressing, there are
very great proportion who were not
born under the British flag Most OF
these will have realized by now that
residence under that flag implies no
disabilities. All we ask is that the
laws of Canada should be obeyed
with this provision every one is
free to come and go. to marry, to live
and to die as seems best to him, and
as it pleases Providence.
1--WE bring no pressure to bear on
anyone to adopt the Canadian nation
atty, for we do not value citizenship
which is obtained under compulsion.
"Our American cousins are welcome
from over the border. Thrice we well
come our Canadian and British broth
ers, who return to the Union Jack, aft
er living under the Stars and Stripes.
History is repeating itself. For
many years hundreds of young Brit
ishers have sought fortune In the
western States. Time has brought
about a change, and the tide has set
in the other direction, bringing across
the frontier numbers of our neighbors
to whom we are glad to return hos
FATALITIES.
Zone of the chief dispensers OF such
hospitality in proportion to it's popu-
lation has, as we have said, changed
it's character from an important cat
tie town to thriving wheat producing
area.
what it has lost from the pictur-
esque point of view, 1t has gained in
the material side, and wish, in con-
clusion, to express the hope that the
prosperity which has evinced itself
here for the past ten years, may con-
tinue undated in the future"
There is no reason why at a hun
dred places on this educative instruct.
i've and interesting trip of His Royal
Highness he might not have express
ed himself in the same terms, and ON
each occasion, addressed large gather
fngs of Americans who are now set
tied on the prairies of Western Cana

Stretching It Some.

The men were Boosting about their
rich kin. Said one: MY father has
a big farm in Connecticut. 1t is SO big
that when he goes to the barn on
Monday morning to milk the cows he
kisses us all goodby, and he doesn't
get back till the following Saturday"
,''Why does it take him so long%
the other asked.
Because the barn is so far away
from the house"
well, that may be pretty big
farm, but compared to my fathers

well, it's so big that my father
sends young married couples out to
the barn to milk the cows, and the
milk is brought back by their grand

Madison.-Rev. Olympia Brown OF
Racine. after serving thirty years as
president of the Wisconsin Woman's
Suffrage association, laid down the
gavel, in spite of the protests and
pIeadings of the followers.
Members Of the association elected
Miss Lutte E. Stearns president, but
only after Mrs. Brown had reiterated
her determination not to serve again,
and had made an appeal Ito every
friend here" to vote for Miss Stearns,
who has long been active in the move
ment
Even under those circumstances,
Miss Stearns was elected with but one
majority, although every member
present expressed themselves as want
ing her, unless Mrs. Brown could De
induced to serve. Every vote not cast
for Miss Stearns was counted for Mrs.
Brown. Mrs. Brown was then made
honorary president, and is the hrst 10
hold this office in the association
Mrs. Brown gave as her reason lot
refusing reelection that she hoped
for amalgamation of the several suf-
frage associations of the state.
She said she felt convinced that no
affiliation of societies could be accom-
plished unless some one was placed
at the head who had not previously
headed any given association.
Other officers elected are: Miss
IONA Gale, Portage, first vice-pres1-
dent; Mrs. Mary Scott Johnson, SUI
perior, second vice-president; Miss
Martha c.. Heide, recording secretary;

follows: Rev. Olympia Brown, Mines.
Frank Eggers, N. K. Donaldson, Nora

and Misses Grace King and Linda

The question of changing the name
of the association was brought up as
a possible means of making it easier
to effect a union This was not done,
as the sentiment of the president was
against abandoning the name under
which the association was incorpora-
ted in 1882.
Resolutions were passed instructing
the secretary to invite the American
Suffragettes to merge with the Wis
consin Woman's Suffrage association;
