ROYALTY WELCOMES The
AMERICAN SETTLER
HIS ROYAL HleHNEss, THE DUKE
OF coNNAUGHT, WELCOMES
AMERICANS TO CANADA.

1t was . happy speech, that on that
beautiful October day, the Duke Of
Connaught, Governor-General Of Can
ada. made at Macleod, Alberta. It
was an opportune speech, heartful
and resonant with good fellowship.
And, % It was specially intended for
American ears. the audience, COM
prised largely OF SO many American
settlers in Canada, the time and place
could not have been better chosen.
It was In reply to an address Of vel
come rendered to him at the pretty
city Of Macleod, with the foothills Of
the Rockies - a setting. and the
great wheat fields between. and in
fact all around the place a. 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:
II am we'll aware that among those
whom I am now addressing, there are
. very great proportion who were not
born under the British nag. Most Of
these will have realized by now that
residence under that flag implies no
disabilities. All we ask IL that the
laws Of Canada should be obeyed.
with this provision every n is
free to come and go, to marry, to live
and to die 10 seem best to him. and
as it pleases Providence.
I'VE 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 vel
come our Canadian and British broth
ers, who return to the Union Jack. aft
er living under the Stars and Stripes.
History 10 repeating itself. For
many years hundreds Of young Brit
fishers have sought fortune In the
western States. Time has brought
about a change. and tho tide has set
in the other direction, bringing across
the frontier numbers OF q neighbors
to whom we are glad to return hos
pitalities.
"One Of the chief dispensers Of such
hospitality In proportion to It's popu-
lation has. as we have said, changed
it, character from an important cat
tie town to . thriving wheat producing
area.

esque point Of view. 1t has gained in
the material side; and I 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 q hum
dred places on this educative. instruct

Highness he might not have express

each occasion, addressed large gather

: Citizens of Tomorrow; .
: An Essay BY Jacob RiiS :


There came to me the other day a
letter asking me TO be present at the
50th annual meeting Of the Children's
Aid society, which has in all these years
been trying to break the bonds Of the
slum by taking the children from it and
planting them out on the western fields,
where they may gro i'm the sunlight.
And grow they did; at the meeting to
which l was invited three governors
were to be present, two elected by the
people in their states and one territur-
ial governor: appointed by the pres
ident: and all three Of them were once
barelcgged little rag mullins taken
from the slums of New York.

The Democratic leaders we've - not
only pleased With the result in Yer
mont State, but gave further vent to
their feelings when they heard that
the regular Republicans and Progress
siyes, battling for the control OF tho
state. had decided to have separate
sets of Presidential Electors.
Although r was conceded that 1t
was far from a satisfactory solution
of the electoral question to Nave the
same set Of Electors on both tickets.
it was agreed that the chances for
Democratic success OH the national
ticket under such conditions were not
so favorable as with separate electoral
tickets, Some, however, offered the
argument that many of the voters Of
the state not knowing for whom their
ballots would be cast If they voted
for the Republican electors, would cas-.
their ballots for Governor Wilson.
BY Tue action of the Progressive
State Committee in asking for the
withdrawal Of the electors who favor

statistics cover the ten-ycar period ended
with 1909. and were collected by the Census

The report OH the investigation says that
the less important industries Of the Corn-

during the period than the more important
ones Fly far the highest percentage Of in
crease vas noted in the automobile indus
try. Exceptionally large increases were
credited to the copper tin and sheet iron
industries. Large decreases IN the average
number of wage esrners was shown in the
iron and steel. blast furnace, sugar and
molasses industries.
The manufacturing industries NJ the
United states employ as wage earncrs g.
6I5.O46 persons, or almost 14i2 per cent of
the total population the value Of the prod
ucts Of these industries is S20,672, $4,000
and the value added by their manufacture
is SS.53O.261, 900. The number Of wage
earners increased 4O.4 per cent since 1899
and the value Of products S1.2 per cent.
These figures represent the total Of manu-
featuring establishments conducted under
the factory system, as distinguished from
the neighborhood, hand and building In
