 The danger of centralized government in the United States has been repeatedly pointed out by some of the leading figures in American life notably Elihu Root Senator James Reed of Mis- souri, and pr. Nicholas Murray Butler, President of Columbia University. Even President-elect Hoover several years prior to the Presidential campaign, raised his voice against what he term ed the daily demand to extend Government in order to abuse other'
 "The of Government" Mir Hoover de- clared that occasion, "s poor cure for abuse for it becomes at once restraint of liberty The test of our whole economic and so- cial system is it's capacity to it's own abuse If to wholly depend Government to cure theses abuses, shall by this method have created enlarged and deadening abuse through the extension of the bureaucracy and the clumsy and incapable handling of delicate moral and economic forces'
 The address of the President of the Massachu- setts Senate shows that at least there is some att tention being paid by State leaders to the dan gers of centralization which have been for so long noted by some of the most eminent Ameri- can statesmen and educators

 life of this picturesque cavalier, who lived in stormy times has come our way It's worth reading. Rupert lived in the 17th century, and according to the historian he was no weakng Soldier sailor, adventurer, he led anything but a coorless existence. There is no record that he ever had a wife, but he was evidently quite human, and "a devil among the ladys fayre" This, from the book:
 Loyalty and strength were the key notes of his character Never did he break his word With friend and foe alike he scrupulously kept faith and whatsoever he found to do, he did it with all his might. In all things he had the courage of his opinions The rigid temperance which he practiced from youth in an age and a country where drinking was almost universal shows unusual independence of char acter, and an unusual degree of self respect.

CANADA CAN CARE FOR HERSELF.

American seaport towns worrying because Canada is granting preferential tariff rates to inn ports that landed at Canadian ports. For in stance the importers of bananas get fifty cents a bunch off from the duty if they landed at Canadian town Last year more than 100,- GOO punches of bananas from the West Indies routed fer Canada handled at Boston The Chamber of Commerce of the latter town says these bananas will now be shipped via Halifax or St John. Likewise shipments from the United Kingdom to Canada get further prefer ential tarif consideration if the goods landed at Canadian port The result has been prom ise from the Cunard line to give a better Canad- ian steamship service. It is said this will cut hole in shipping at New York, Boston and other American ports.
 It is admitted in Canada that this is part of the Canadian plan of protecting herself from the effects of an exclusive American tariff policy The Winnipeg Free Press, commenting upon the situation says:
 It the adoption of exclusive tariff that did much more than anything else to cause the serious omic conditions in the Maritime Prov inces, and brought the Dominion Govern ment to their assistance. It
 of the forms of assistance, and in
 sponse to the appeal of the cities of
 Halifax and St. John that the Govern
 ment decided on the measures calculated
 to build up those ports by increasing
 the trade passing through them If Mar itime fishermen had not been affected so much by the shutting out of their product from the United States market and if the Maritime farmers had not suffered from the shutting out of their potatoes and other products, those Prov inces would not have become so depress- ed, and the policy now complained of by the United States ports might not have been adopted one of the rem edies.
 The high tariff policy of the United States has compelled Canada to seek trade with other countries, and it might be interesting to the people of the United States to know just how energetically Canada has taken to that alternative She is doing everything possible to en- courage trade with Great Britain and other parts of the Commonwealth and she has made treaties with great many other countries in which mutual tariff concessions are granted
 The United States may sometime find It to its advantage to adopt a less ex- elusive tariff policy. In the meantime
 Canada is capable of looking out for her.
