Kneeling To The Prince.

PICTURE sent out by newspaper service for publca-
ton showed the prince Of Wales, slim and boyish
presenting the coIor Canadian battalion of war vet
Grams The battalion color bearer kneeing he re-
ceived the colors.
We all know that subjects supposed to kneel be-
fore royalty on occasions Of ceremony but those
are far between and seldom do them pictured
Moreover there is something little incongruous so
seems to an American IN Canadian kneelng before the
prince.
Perhaps such gestures Of humility similarly impress
the Canadians much the people Of Canada realize they
matters Of FORM the carrying out Of tradition
Canada likes the mother country and has been wonderful
her defence Of the empire But the old forms titles
of monarchcal Europe little IN Canadas young life
The Canadian lower house recently drew up address
the protesting that the future bestowal of titles
Canadians would be disappIoved in the dominion The
provincial parament had previously shown marked oppo-
ston to the further grant of hereditary titles Over
year the government by order in council gave
that title Of honor except for military
ices would be given Canadian unless by ministerial
recommendation and that such titles would not be
hereditary
But Canadian sentiment has desired sweeping
action Titles becoming frequent. Some Can
adams Individually had deserved them but for others
there some doubt.
The domnion's action is significant. Canada is part
of the empire, and, lar known, has desire for
separation But Canadss spirit Of democracy is deep
rooted and constantly extending itself. The time may
come when Canada, having abolished titles and other
trappings Of nobility, may stand in the presence Of
prince
