Although Wolfe, who defeated
Montcalm, died victorious" on the
Plains OF Abraham in 1853, Canada
In general and Quebec individually
have not failed to honor the van
quished as we'll as the victor. As a
matter of fact, Montcalm, a French
man, has more historial ado made
about him than Wolfe. the Briton
who wrested Quebec and New
Francois Canada was then call
ed-from the French. In the beau
tiful Governors Garden, adjoining
the Chateau Frontenac on Dufferin
Terrace. is the Wolfe -Montcalm
monument in honor OF both OF these
great soldiers.
On st. Louis street, which a CEN
tury and a half ago was the fash
ionable promenade OF old Quebec. is
still to be seen quaint building
which was Montcalm's headquar-

cigar store, bears an inscription
stating this fact. There is also a

GOOD TIME FOR
OPTIMISM, SAYS
NATL BANK HEAD
by JOSEPH w. HARTMAN

by JOSEPH w. HARTMAN
President Hartman National Bank
Once upon time there was an
old woman about to die, who con-
fessed that her condition was due
to fear ol things that had never hap
pened. We have a lot of old women
OF both sexes, In this class, sur
rounding us at the present time.
Some papers seem to take delight
in proclaiming how many mills are
closing, and how many people are
being thrown out OF work. They
enlarge upon 22h per cent wage
reductions without reckoning that
even that reduction IL a mere cur
tailment of luxuries. and that the
remaining wage Is still self-sup-
porting. The reduced wage Is met
by the reduced cost Of living.
Results OF Election
The papers do not remind their
readers OF the extensions that have
been made to plants, OF the machin-
cry installed, OF the housing for
betterment OF employees. insuring
comfort and up-to-date outfits when
the turn comes. They do not re-
mind you that the war is over, that
the daily toll OF the dead at the bat
tie front has ceased, that our boys
are home, that our crops have been
excellent. and that prices, though re-
duced for our products, exceed the
average for ten years; that there is
no pestilence In the land, that we
are an energetic people; and II one
reflects upon the immigration reach
ing our shores--the rush IL due to
the thought that here IL a country
OF opportunity, OF milk and honey,
OF great possibilities; that individual
effort is recognized, that our homes
are full OF comfort, our lands full OF
vegetation and cattle.
Our recent election promises to re-
suit in a repeal OF the excess profits
tax and the reduction OF heavy sur
taxes on incomes; a large part of
the reduction on our present floating
debt will be accomplished; our Vic
tory loans will be refunded; our ex-
travagant and many criminally in
competent public servants will be
dismissed, and we will have a pro-
tective tariff.
Our children are growing up with
a new viewpoint. and, as some one
has remarked. for every day that
passes n new generation approaches
Just that much nearer to maturity,
and in the heart OF youth there is a
fountain OF hope and we'll OF opti-
mism and an urge to accomplish
splendid things that cannot be
