Canada has boon honored in this year of ils Dkuuioiui Jubilee by another visit from Lho IVmce oC Wales. On this occasion, however, ho is accompanied by his brother, Prince George, and by Lho Right Honorable Stanley Haiti wiu, Prime Minister of Great Britain. : The significance of this visit will not bc lost upon the people of Canada, nor, in fact, upon the British Empire as a whole. The easo with which the peoplo ot Canada and the British Isles can exchango visits nowadays is resulting in a more intimate knowledge of each oilier and.-is developing a community of interest quite lacking not bo many years ago. Now it is almost as easy for tho peoplo of Canada and Britain t'o visit each oilier as it is for Canadians in tiie lho. Maritime- Provinces to visit, their i'ellow citizens in British Columbia. �� - The fact is thus being made known to the world that Canada occupies * strategic position in the British Commonwealth of Nations. Us geographical location in tho Empire, constituting 'it the main highway between the Occident and tho Orient, must inevitably result in this Dominion being the ���real centre of thc Empire in the not so very distant future. And the development of trans-oceanic travel, by air will only serve to emphasize*.'Canada's important jilaco in the Empire. Thus, for the first* time in history, a Primo-Minister of'Groat-Britain Is able during his tenure of ofTlco to leave Britain and make au official visit to ono of tlio overseas Dominion's. He could not possibly spare tho time'to. visit any of tho other Dominions, ft is an epoch marking event. , It is apparent that Mr. Baldwin, himself, is cognizant of whal the future lias in'store. In an address before the Montreal Canadian Club shortly after his arrival in this Dominion, Mr. Baldwin spoke in such optimistic terms of Canada's future possibilities and greatness that, voiced by a native Canadian, would hare left Lhe latter open to possible ridicule aud criticism .as being bombastic. Mr. Baldwin sees no limit to tho greatness of Canada's future. "Nothing can stop you," he declared.. Canada, ho. wont on to say, must progress with the world'u progress with the result that, some day "Canada uiay be������fclw.1 greatest, nation in the world."1 rfixly years of Confederation have proven oto Canadians'.and to. tlie world what can be accomplished, and have established! the untold .possibilities o.f the Dominion iu ;.1l those qualities and resources whicli go to make a. nation great. Another sixty year:* may easily see Canada with a larger population than the British Isles, with'manufacturing being carried on w I tli ri magnitude as yet only dreamed of, ami surpassing in output tho great industries of-tlie" Old Land., while at the same tune supplying in much* greater degree than today the food requirements of the world. Canada i.s only now.getting into.its stride. It* is just on its feet, and on thc eve of a development and expansion in all the major activities of tlie world which will establish a new world's record, in national growth. Canadian foundations have been well.-and truly laid. They are strong enough upon which to erect a magnificent structure, and it only remains for the Canadian people to realize its possibilities,, and devote themselves with patriotic devotion and. untiring energy * to the inspiring task- before them. -."[ ���_. The days of pessimism are past. There-ueyer was any real cause -t6r I hem, biu this Jubilee year has, thero'is reason to believe, finally convinced, the people of. the'Dominion of this fact. There has been a -great/awakening of our people, ancl a new national spirit has been evoked, a new confidence, born, and a pride and courage developed which in a comparatively few years will work a veritable revolution in the growth of this Dominion. ... Canadian., will do well to keep ever in mind the slogan of the National Diamond Jubilee Committee "Canada Our Country," and to accent aa their watchword the words given to them by Premier Baldwin, "Nothing Cau Stop' ���Us." In making Canada great and prosperous they will bo rendering the finest possible service to the Empire as a whole and confer benefits upon the world at large,' because, above all things, the Canadians are a borne Jovins, peace loving people. They have the true conception of the new Interniitioii- alisra which believes in the advancement of all peoples as the true policy of a better world. . * ....'*'��� Unique Device Patented Rollers At Railroad Crossing Will Prevent Accla��nts As a means for preventing automobile accidents at railroad crossings, an* Ohio inventor has patented a roller device which ha3 proved effective under tests, says Popular Mechanics Magazine.
