CANADIAN CLUB HAD
FRIEND IN CARNEGIE
Officer Tells How His Pres
ence Sc,ued a Banquet.

The death of Andrew Carnegie pro-
duced its effect in the Canadian Club
Of New York, as in so many other or
I. Kennard Thomson writes to THE SUN
thus regarding the late iron master and
philanthropist:
THE sUN--sir: The now prosperous
Canadian Club OF New York was in 1911
having a very hard struggle to keep
going and maintain the reputation for
giving Successful banquets. which 1t had
acquired under the presidency of DR.. Nell
MacPhatuer. and 1t was becoming harder
and harder to secure the acceptance and
attendance of the right kind OF speakers,
without whom good audience OF MEM
bers and guests could not be counted on.
The Climax of this difficulty had been
reached when the writer was .vice-presi-
dent and chairman of the banquet commit
tee in 1911. so much so indeed, that when
he attended the committee meeting on
November ., just four days before the
banquet. everybody in the room thought
the AFFAIR surely doomed to failure, be-
cause even promises could not be secured
for from more than 1917. although We
had guaranteed the hotel 400 plates.
This feeling was intensified when the
chairman read a withdrawal of accept
ance from the principal expected guest, a
famous Bishop. Then the chairman read
a charming letter from Andrew Carnegie
accepting his invitation to be present.
1t was worth a long journey to see the
wave of pleasure and relief that swept
over the faces OF those present. for they
well knew that all danger of a failure
had been banished.
Mr. Carnegie brought his right hand
man. James Bertram. chairman Of
one of the Carnegie funds and made one
of his delightful friendly speeches. 1t was
at this banquet that Mr.. (now sir) George
E. Foster, Minister of Trade and Com
merce for Canada, made his famous re-
mark. which was published the world
round: Canada will remain British to
| the crack of doom"
Shortly after that event DR.. John A.
Stewart, a member of the Canadian Club,
gave a dinner to Prime Minister (now
Right Hon. Sir) Robert L. Borden with
Mr.. Carnegie on his left During his
speech Mr.. Carnegie leaned over DR.. Stew
arts plate and gresped Mr. Borden's hand,
saying: Sir. during the civil war Canada
sent 10000 men to help us save the Union.
and IL Canada ever needs help, sir, wire
me-you know my address-and I'll see
that you will get 400. 900 or more men to
help you" Every one present felt that he
was then in his very prime and that he
spoke from his heart and brain The
| Canadian papers were SO pleased that they
| had pictures of Andrew in kills grasp
| ing Borden's hand.
| Allow me. Mr.. Editor, to conEratuiats
you on the good work you are doing and
to remain, yours sincerely,
T. KENNARD THOMSON.

COOPERATIVE PLAN
AN AID TO FARMERS
Gains ShouUn Where Method
Is Prdctised.

The belief that competition is the life
OF trade~ is gradually losing favor in
most agricultural districts in Canada
From the study of official reports II is
indisputable that in Canada, as In Eu-
rope, the agricultural industry Is making
greatest advances in those districts
where cooperative merchandising is prac
tised by the farmers. The cooperative
principles, which have given greatest
satisfaction In other lands, are being
adopted In many rural districts of Cam
ada to the betterment of these commu-
mites.
The direct financial gains made by
farmers are not the prime argument in
favor OF cooperation. It's most consider
able effect has been on the mental at
tftude of the members of the community
In cooperative neighborhoods farmers
work together In harmony and take a
Keen interest In each others welfare. This
spirit OF mutual help is the father OF
the community movement which is be-
coming very noticeable throughout the
pest agricultural sections of Canada. The
individual members OF the cooperative
societies are assuming personal RESPONSE
bility and in raising produce for mar
ket are observing the requirements Of
uniformity and quality advocated by the
organizations as though the business
were their own. This is different from
their attitude under the old system of
selling to the highest bidder.
Rural communities organized cooper-
| atively need not worry about finding
markets for their produce. Buyers are
eager to transact business with them on
account of the standards they maintain.
The general air of prosperity and thrift
existing in their midst attracts the hest
class OF agriculturists in search for
farms In such communities. Hence intel
ligent methods of production are adopted.
land values are increased and content
ment In the industry is assured. The
competitive dealings of decade ago are
losing ground. while loyal cooperation
is bringing about fuller development Of
agriculture. The lean kline" of COM
petition have been devastating Cana
dian resources and swallowing up profits.
but 1t appears that the well favored
Kline" or cooperation are soon to assert
themselves. establishing contentment and
prosperity where agricultural activities
are carried on in harmony and unison.

BIG MILEAGE FOR PRINCE.
About Every Steel Rail in the DO
minion VIII Carry His Car.

MONTREAL, Sept. Ascending to a
mileage table compiled by the Canadian
Pacific Railway the Prince Of Wales on
his tour through the Dominion will have
travelled in Canadian territory and ter
ritorial waters to the extent of very
nearly 10000 miles. the definite figure
exclusive of motor and hunting and fish
ing trips being 9,333, from the arrival
at st. John. New Brunswick, to the ar
rival at Montreal on October 81. This
includes the sea trip from st. John via
Halifax and. Charlottetown to Quebec,
but the land journey will amount to
s,414 miles of which $3.50, or nearly
80 per cent, will be over the lines of the
Canadian Pacific, which has supplied the
royal train leaving Quebec on August "a.
In order to visualize for his Royal
Highness the variety and extent of the
Dominion the Canadian Pacific has pre-
pared an elaborate album OF views ex-
quisitely printed on Japanese vellum, to-
gether with reproductions In colors of
landscapes by Canadian artists illustrat-
ing about $50 scenes along the route of
travel which the Prince will see. The
album was designed, printed and bound
in Montreal at the offices Of the Mon
treal Gazette and Is OF notable artistic
merit. One hundred copies only were
printed. all of which are numbered and
have been placed at the disposal of his
Royal Highness.
A special library of works by Cana
dian authors has been placed in the
royal car, so that the Prince in the few
moments left to his leisure may have the
opportunity OF realizing that there is a
genuine Canadian literature. A duplI-
cate set of the books In this library is
being suitably bound for the Princes IL
brary in England.
A. B. Calder of the Canadian Pacific
passenger department will represent the
president of the company during the
whole journey from Atlantic to Pacific
and back again, and r. G. Chamberln,
head OF the Canadian Pacific investiga-
ton department, has been created a spe-
cial commissioner of police. with juris-
diction over all Dominion police, for the
same period.

WALES DEMENT'S
OLD COUNTRY TIES
Personality and Democracy
Make Deep Impression on
Canadians.
PROVES A GOOD "MIXER"
Toronto Surrendered Com
pletely to Him in First
Day of His Visit.
PROVES A GOOD "MIxER''

TORONTO, Sept There seems no
doubt that the cause of British connec-
ton has been strengthened by the visit
to Toronto of the Prince of Wales Not
that the invisible link with the Old
Country has been weakening, but that,
under the weller Of emotions of the past
few years. some people may have be-
come Indifferent and thought that per-
haps some day In the indefinite future
Canada might want to strike off for
itself.
The Prince brought all the grace and
charm Of young British nobleman.
and he captured the city in the first day.
No visitor ever had such a thunderous
popular welcome. Adulation to a great
prime minister or victorious general
is the only thing that could be. compared
to the succession of incidents; and yet
there is nothing In the memory of the
people to equal the events OF last week.
Fairy tales have ever held forth the
marvellous gifts and graces of princes,
but they just seemed to be fairy tales.
Now came a winsome personality, who
of the story books. 1t did not seem
manufactured at any point, but Just the
spontaneous rules of conduct Of a young
man gifted with qualities that appealed
to the race of men.
AS a soldier who threw aside his sup
posedly superior claims to protection in
war time, and who was personally ac-
Quainted with not a few Canadian Of
ficers, he naturally had a long start to
81 g. DH n..N hax.
that came his own conduct, his quality
as a mixer" his Difference to the aged
and his chivalry to womanhood. not to
speak of a frank admiration for the face
of a pretty girl. All these made for
popularity and drew the hundreds Of
thousands to the exhibition or to the
streets wherever he might be seen.
An illustration of his readiness to
meet admirers who were not asked to
the set events was an incident at the
Yacht Clue ball. Physically almost
worn out, he had sought a few mo-
ments' rest in a marquee by the side
of the water. when a hotilla of canoes
containing people who were not guests
drew up to the shore in search of
possible glimpse of the Prince. Locat-
ing him in the tent. they clapped
their hands, at which signal the
Prince emerged and then leaned over
the edge of the dock until he had taken
the hand of everyone In the crowd.
Meantime officialdom had lost track of
him, and the beginning OF the dance
had been delayed some minutes by this
informal incident
On his last day here, though wearied
almost to exhaustion by the rush Of
events, he insisted on taking a
twenty mile drive through the city as
ger schedule. during which he was
cheered continuously by several hun
dred thousand people.

EDUCATORS MEET IN
WINNIPEG OCT. 2O-22
Schools Looked to as Basis of
Good Citizenship.

What Is denominated as National
Educational Conference" is to be held
| in Winnipeg October POPE From Bull
letin No. / the public Is informed that
"the ground idea OF the conference in
relation to the quality of our citizenship
| is that the work of the schools should be
featured as the primary concern of the
people"
The teacher of to-day in Canada. it
Is stated, has little to remind him that
he is working under the eye of the ma
ton and for the nations good. What
Germany did in bad way and for bad
ends 1t is hoped may be at least measur-
ably done in good way for the good
end OF evolving citizenship whose
goal shall be altruism, not selfshness !;
cooperation, not arrogance and aggran-
dfzement."
Through the medium of the schools 1t
is hopefully asserted that this spiritual
goal can be made The operative principle
OF Canadian citizenship. and the call is
issued that this faith and hope may be
declared in national gathering of citi-
zens.
Among the speakers who are an
nounced to take part in the conference
are Hon. DR.. Cody. Minister of Educa-
ton for Ontario; DR.. Theodore Soares,
