THE SAMOA PINES.
Interesting Newspaper Described by
Reader of The Herald.

Editor The Washington Herald:
Feeling as we do that few indeed Of
your readers ever see stray copies of the
Samoa Times. we are disposed to de-
scribe q copy of this interesting little
sheet-dated August 26-which recently
came to hand. 1t was sent by Mr.. Henry
Bennet, of Apia.
The paper is quite small-from the
viewpoint Of the average American. being
but twelve by eighteen inches. It con-
tains four sheets and one-sheet supple
nnent. and the editor modestIy mentions
that his name is James All Sue.
Page one Is devoted exclusively to ad-
vCrtising OF the usual range-from steam
ship lines to common carriers. Pages two
and three are likewise OF advertising and
the news part never gets under way till
a small paragraph at the foot Of the last
column on page three. Here are published
an ordinance for the protection Of the in
terests Of mOrtgagers during the war,
snother regarding local dealing in Copra,
a third which relates to a taxation
amendment We see dwelling to let at
SIS per month; a notice from the COM
missioner OF police that dogs not under
control, with or without collars. will be
destroyed a notice that Europeans leav-
ing Samoa must be provided with a pass
port, and still another notice announces
the opening Of the Iff school for white
and half-cast children on August IS.
Then come several columns Of local
news-odds and ends-the benefit perform
ance at Market Hall for the Wounded
Soldiers Fund, an article about the Sa =
means, their requirements and lirnita-
tiOns and a reprint from the Hawaiian
Herald. which portends to answer the
uOmentous question. "Is victory in sight
for the entente powers"
The supplement aforementioned is en-
\ g. 4
up in short, terse paragraphs and headed
as from the various large cities of the
world. There is no wasted space in three
inch headlines; It is told shortly and
without comment or ornamentation
Finally on page five we note the fol-
lowing sop Of solace for those who IN
their hopes to Candidate Hughes; we
quote:
EXCHUGHEs NE.
To vote for Hughes
No matter what the hues
OF his whiskers, blues,
Pinks, greens, g-ays, browns.
Or any other shades or tones
That might fuse My muse
Is lame, halt, blind, but the news
OF Hughes would not enthuse
Any muse like mine
II she were nine
Or a hundred and nine. I'd choose
Almost anyone but Hughes
Some one addicted to booze
Who could CUss and abuse
A red-blOoded burglar who could inflse
Me with respect. But I refuse
Absolutely and unqualihedly and irrevo-
cabIy
To vote for a plous, respectable, hyphen-
ated
Hand-picked. pussy-footed candidate
Like HUGHEs!I!!H"
How's that for vers libre? Can you
beat It in America?
Another article rails at the Germans in
New Guinea and then the paper winds up
with near two pages Of advertisements
among which are those of a few West
ern United States firms. Such is the type
OF newspaper they inhale with their
grapefruit in Samoa. Must be demo-
cratic, too.

and Illinois. In passing, it is curl
Gus to note the fact that it is purely
chance that makes the Minnesotan
an American instead of a Canadian.
From 1888 to 1871 Canada was
without central government as we
have it in the United States. The
county was divided into Upper
and Lower Canada. The eastern
part, called Lower Canada, in.
cluded the provinces of Quebec.
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick-the
original French settlements. Up
per Canada, the western part of
the Dominion, included all of On
tario and a slice of southern Mani
toba. The northwest was split IN
to number Of Observation-Disclosures
Columbia had its own government.
In 1867 all the provinces were
ANAL gamated into what is now
known as the Dominion of Canada.
The modern history of this
enormously wealthy country is
singularIy free of the horrors of
war, with the exception of the
participation of Canadian troops
in the British American war of
1912 and in the present world war.
No engagements of size have been
fought ON Canadian soil. The
Riel Rebellion of 1880 was purely
local affair, engineered by Louis
Riel, a half-breed of the north
west. The fighting was of the
nature of skirmishes more than
pitched battles, and the range of
hostllities was confined to the
country west of Winnipeg.
In connection with the War OF
1912. it is interesting to note that
the Canadian school book histories
credit Canadian troops with de.
feating the Americans in many
battles. At Niagara, on the
Canadian side of the river of
course, they take great pride in
pointing out the monument to
their General Brock. who drove
the American troops into the river
at that point. This monument
makes one think that either the
Canadian or American school
books are wrong in parts of their
historical records of the war.
The almost endless resources of
Canada are the envy of all nations.
Until twenty years ago no very
determined effort had been made
to force the meadows and plains,
mountains and forests to give up
their long concealed stores of
wealth. Mineral and timber lands
were not as yet exploited. The
country is so immensely rich in
natural resources that it will re-
quire a hundred years of mining
operations to even make an i'm
preston on the coal and iron. 1t
will take fifty years to open up the
northwest's arabic lands. And
probably century will have
passed before the wilder and
less accessible parts of the country
can be cultivated. Although thou
sands of miles of railroads are in
operation it must be remembered
that these lines cross stretches of
hundreds of miles of ground that
is not yet even cleared, except
along the right of-way. Within a
couple Of hundred miles of the
largest city--Montreal, with pop
ulaticn of 650.00O-one can find
forests where only the Indian can
find his way. Much of shis land
has not even been surveyed.
The great problem facing the
locator of mineral wealth in out-of-
the-way places is lack of transport
tation. For example, some years
ago a young engineer while on
surveying trip in the wids of
Quebec discovered splendid de-
posit of mica of the white variety.
There was easily a hundred thou
sand dollars worth practically in

Gerald Stanley Lee wrote a
great book. 1t is called CROWDS
"a Book for the Individual"
l wish [ might stop and write a
book: "IndividuaIs-a Book for
the Crowd"
Lee in his book, weaves a mind
gripping story of crowds-people
in masses. He talks of their am.
bitions, their machines. their goals,
their methods. He deals with
where they are going; what they
are after; how they are trying to
get it; and how they are trying to
express themselves.
1t is a sort of a socialistic inter-
weaving of men in buIk-the ebb
and flow of the multitude as they
surge along through life.
A crowd represents leveling of
men-a pulling down of the domi-
nant; a lowering of leaders. Not
that the masterful man has COM
milted any crime against the laws
of created beings, but simply be-
cause he is above the mass, do
they seek to pull him down. If
we cannot get up where you are,
mayhap we csn pull you down to
where we are'' is the attitude of
the crowd.
In other words, the social level
ler's ideal is the annihilation of the
every where active and always-has.
been-active law of Leadership;
survival of the superior.
Is the great forest giant that
towers above the others by twenty
or thirty feet an unhealthy princi-
pie in nature! 1t is blot upon
the surrounding forest. 1t is an
illustration of an unfair law.
Is the shining, quivering, ener-
gy- charged turf king, that out.
distances all other blue bloods. un-
healthy and against natural law !
Does he represent Nature turned
against herself? This fine PAGER
with the swifter step, the better
combination and opposition of
muscle, and the evener use of
energy; the superior balance of
bone against bit; is it an illustra-
ton of any principal unfair to
other horses?
And yes the crowd" would
pull down the Leader. He is
great, we are not great. We want
him down with u.s." THAT IS THE
PRINCIPLE RAMPANT TODAY.
Against it must act the law of
the Conquering Chief.
And SO. instead of the develop
ment of Crowd, in bulk, rather

that individual who is endowed
for supremacy, for leadership, for
command. TO be sure, there are
natural" leaders who raise them
selves. But there are also other
finely endowed souls who, if the
plan is opened to them, MAKE.
QUICK STRIDES TO THE GOAL.
Oh: l would write a book for
the Individual, and scatter it
broadcast through the crowd. Let
them ponder over it. Let them
draw conclusions. Let the lessons
work upon an individual here and
another there in that motley gath
ering. There are few sparks
slumbering in breasts which await
the touch of hidden ambition to
fire them with an energy which
would brook no resistance.

pleted an investigation
@ of the national resources
~ of Canada, remarked to
- some friends, this won
derful country may be looked up
on as destined to influence the
future of the world" And the
prediction is fast materialiZing.
During the last half century Cana
da has developed steadily increas-
ing production of natural and
manufactured products. The gold
en- west, just a generation ago
practically an unexplCred wilder
ness, is now a granary sufficiently
large to satisfy the needs of a
population many times that of
which the country boasts at pres
ent some y millions, in round
figures. In the extreme west, in
the Rocky Mountain region, iron,
coal, gold and silver mines
are being developed by the score.
In the east, factories are making
articles of all kinds for distribu-
ton throughout the Dominion.
From Halifax on the Atlantic. to
Vancouver several thousand miles
distant on the Pacific, the country
is covered with railroads, chief
among them the Canadian Pacific
and the Grand Trunk Pacific. One
may board train of the Canadian
Pacific and ride 5000 miles and
more over their tracks without
experiencing the inconvenience of
numerous transfers at depots.
In order to give a comprehen-
sive, though necessary brief, re-
view of the development of Canada,
this paper is divided into four
parts, embracing the history, re-
sources and politics of the country.
The concluding part is devoted to
observations on the social condi-
tions that exist. together with re-
fections on the attitude of Canada
towards the United States from the
viewpoint of one who is an Ameri-
can, but who has also enjoyed the
privilege of spending some fifteen
years in Canada.
The history of Canada COM
menced to evolve in 1886 when
Jacques Cartier, a French naviga-
tor, entered the st. Lawrence
river and took nominal possession
of North America in the name of
his king, Francis |. For about
$50 years France ruled the entire
region extending eastward to Nova
Scotia, westward to Lake Superior,
and down the Mississippi to Flori-
da and Louisiana. In 1859 a British
army under command of General
Wolfe sailed up the St. Lawrence
The battle of the plains of Abra-
ham, at Quebec followed and
gained Canada for the British.
Montreal, then, as it is now, the
chief city and port of the French
colony, was captured in 1850. One
can still view parts of the old for
ti6cations in and about Montreal.
The terms of peace guaranteed
to the French the exercise of their
religion-Roman Catholic. This
clause in the articles of peace has
been faithfully observed by the
corquerors. But in spite of an in
fux of English and Scotch immi-
grants, the French. Canadian CathO-
lies to this day are staunch in the
observance of their religious rites.
They have never been "absorbed"
or Angllcized. Owing to this fact,
Canada presents the uncommon
spectacle of nation having within
its borders people of two distinct
nationalities and religions about
equal in political strength.
In the year 1888 Canada gave up
