Tho columns of every daily and weekly paper, however small the latter may be, tell the-sumo ���story oi! lho holding of public meetings and tho, appointment of committees oi' representative citizens to plan a titling celebration on July 1st and llie succeeding two days. It is quite evident that it will be a very unprogrossive and poor-spirited community which fails to commemorate the inauguration of tlio. Dominion. Tho very general interest being displayed is^a Gratifying'.evidence ot the pride which Canadians have come to have ln their .country,���it is aD evidence of a real national spirit. Equally gratifying is the way in which local communities throughout the Dominion have accepted the lead o'f the National Committee and arc planning to make Dominion.Day celebrations truly commemorative of Confederation, rather than merely . days ..of sporting events. Generally speaking, the ceremonies on July 1st '.will be patriotic and historical iu character, while on July 2nd���also a national-holiday in this Jubilee year���sports and cotlier programmes will be carried out. Time, energy and money spent iiWbrganizihg truly worth-while 'commemorative ceremonies will be well expended-only if the true, underlying spirit of the Jubilee is never lost sight of, but, on lhe contrary, is strongly emphasized. It is urged thai every celebration on July 1st should have "a clear, strong, dominant note of patriotism, .directing lhc hearts and minds of all* Lo Canada." Particularly is it desired that in all Dominion Day ceremonies the mo3t prominent place be given lo-the children of Canada. ��� The Jubilee ceremonies should very properly recall the condition ot Canada prior to 1S67, the lack-of. unity then existing, the suspicions entertained, the doubts and fears for the future which prevailed. It ".should be remembered that Confederation was devised to overcome those eonditioTiS, to find a solution for the existing problems and difficulties, Y\re should ���as a people revive in our memories the patriotism, the vision;-.tho self-sacrifice of the Fathers of Confederation-who forgot all differences of party, of racial ���descent, of creed, in order to render service lo Canada and the Empire. The spirii of lho Fathers should be the spirit or this Diamond Jubilee. Confederation brought union and strength out,of disunion and weakness, il has replaced doubts and fears with confidence; discouragement lias given place to courage and a justifiable pride. Tho achievements of the Canadian people in the succeeding sixty years are without a parallel in the history of ���tlie world. They have spanned' and re-spanned a continent with'bauds ot dlccl; thoy have created a strong and, united nation out of isolated colonies; they have placed their (lag on the seven seas, and���*,carried their commerce to the uttermost parts of the globe; even in the'fiery ordeal ol" the world's greatest war they took second phice to no,other people, but.by thoir self-sacrifice and unremitting labor won the ���admiration of all men and won for Canada a place of equality with the world's., greatest* and',���proudest nations. ,';.'��� *-.-" ': ���'"���.,.' ...* ������ Bul Confederation snado more than all. ihis possible. It lias resulted' in revealing the people of Canada to themselves. In working, together: in the solution of great national'problems, in carrying, through gigantic enterprises to success, and in devoting iheir-energies to the development of some of the -greatest natural resources possessed ity any land, they have learned each others good dualities. They have given to the world a great'object lesson of how two races, differing in language and in religion" can exercise tolerance and forbearance, and, appreciating tlie contribution which each has to make for the co'mnion good, unite to lay lhe foundations. of. a united state, progressive, prosperous and happy. - Recalling lhc difficulties and achievements of the past, glorying in the -:progcnl7*jni..-roal-celebration*okAh(^ ���of loyalty and a re-dedication of service to Canada on the part oOnd"ivfdu1ir or loyally and a re-dedication of servce to Canada on tho"-part of individual, ���Canadian citizens. This is the true, underlying spirit of Canada's Diamond Jubilee. - W *7 , 7 Veteran Missionary Dead Late Father Cochin Was Prisoner ol Indians in Rebellion of 1885 Rev. Fr.

D Exhibiaion of Canadian Paintings ��� Pralced by French Critics From Charles Stewart, the Paris correspondent o'f the Now York World, conies Ihis comment on*tho most recent collection of Canada's art' in Paris. He says: "The exhibition of. Canadian paintings sent over to Paris under the auspices of the Fine Arts-Commissions of Canada came into lhe dingy galleries of thc Tulleries annex of the Luxemburg Museum like a fresh breeze of wind from the open spaces of the great Northwest. And it is thus that those works of ari have been acclaimed by. the French critics. Tliere is much excellence in individual efforts and the show as a whole is of a high order of Merit. Tho greater pro'porllon of the 200. canvasses exhibited consists of decorative landscapes, among which "A March Afternoon" and three; other paintings hy Maurice Cullen aro conspicuous by Iheir.'brilliancy, as are tlie vividly colored snow scones vby Clarence A.

While this travel has grown in practically all of the national parks, it is equally gratifying to know that the visits hy Canadians likewise show a larger augmentation "year after year. ��� ' i " Only two of the national parks, Glacier Parle, B.C., and Jasper.
