If some of the parrots in Canada liv- ed to th:it age the country would be- come depopulated. • • * It seemed that no organizntioa in town was ?oing to take up the Ist of .luly celebration and the Orange Lodge is to be commended for their action. While the celebration will be under the auspices of the L.O.L. all the people of town are invited to assist with the festivities. Beautiful Joe The recent suggestion of the Premier of Ontario that the confer- ring 'A title.H should be resumed in Canada, hm fallen flat in the Domin- ion. Public sentiment does not ap- pear to favor it, though there can be no doubt that there are both men and women in Canada who would be de- lighted if they could get the opportun- ity to have prefixed to their names a title pur."orting to come from the king. We know this particularly from the bewailing that took place at the close i'f the great war. At that time, very many Knights and Ladies of Honour were created in Great Britain and in Australia, and other parts of the empire, because of serv- ices performed during the conflict, and it is an ascertained fact that -x list of favored ones, containing men and women in every phase of import- ance in Canada, was prepared by the government then in power, ami was ready for submission to the author- ities in Great Britain when a parlia- mentary bomb.<3he!l in the shape of the resolution brought fcj-ward by Mr. Nickle was e.xplod ed, the House of Common.-i, by a large majority, going on record against the further conferring of titles in the Dominion. We reco-rnize however, how dis- appointed the prospective Knights and Dames were. There is no prospect of Parliament going back on the stand then takc.-i, but meantime widows and spinsters are not failing to em- brace every opportunity presenting itself to share the honor of knight- hood with the steadily disappearing titled fraternity. It is interesting to note that from the earliest days of British rule in this country there has been a dispo- j success. sition to maintain titles â€" even hered- â-  itary distinctions. As early as 1789, the British Government had under consideration an aristocratic provision in the constitution, under which it was proposed to j^lace the newly acquired territories. And Simcoe, who subse- quently had a distinguished career as the first governor of Upper Canada, wrote in 1791 that he "hoped to have a hereditary Council with some mark of nobility." In an official despatch Governor Simcoe remarked: "It has always been considered that the prin- cipal cause of the American revolt was the want of an aristocratic power, which might afford a legal provision for the fair claims and just (From the Meaford Express) The article which appeared recently in the Toronto Daily Star in reference to the proposed publication in Esper- anto, of "Beautiful Joe," the pitiful story of a much abused dog, written by Miss Marshall Saunders of Toron- to is of special interest here, as "Beautiful Joe" was numbered in the canine citizenship of Meaford for many years. In fact, here, the now famous little black and tan dog, who boasted no pedigree of blue-blooded book is a sister of Mr. J. C. Saunders, Deputy Minister o' Finance, Ottawa, who is a 8on-in-h w of the late Mr. Moore. It was wl.ile a guest in the Moore home that Miss Saunders be- came acquainted w ith "Beautiful Joe" and learned his st )ry which she has passed on to her re '.ders, the boys and girls of every country and clime.

Mac- phail for her utterances on war and the utterance of the boy Premier, Earl Lautenslager, in his phrase, "brave enough to be cowards", if an- other defensive war came. While war is condemned by everyone, there are times when a man rises to the occasion in defence of his manhood, and incidentally his country. Pride in self and country run together. • • • The Owen Sound Greys have at last won the coveted cup for which they have been fighting hard for the nast month or so, the Memorial Cup, omhlematic of the Junior Champion- ship of Canada. Their defeat of the Port Arthur juniors is unique in the annals of hockey in Canada. The ; irst Kame resulted in a win for Owen Sound by the score of 5-4, and the .second game went into overtime ten minutes before a decision could be secured, and Owen Sound came out on top 5-3. Durini? the series the C.reys went the whole game, includ- ing: the overtime, without relief, and the beys seemed to be as fresh then as when they started. At the end of the third period in the last game they tired somewhat, but they came back on wih a new lease of life and a punch that awarded them three goals in the ten minutes of hockey. The boys from the Scenic City are to be congratulated upon their accomplish- ments. Owen Sound can boast of the best little team of hockey players that has ever been produced. Their team play was excellent, and that, no doubt, was one reason of their ancestors but was just "plam dog," 'of the Wilderness," presented by Miss completed his long life, the begmning/A. C.

Lord Dor- chester did not favor hereditary aris- tocracy, especially because of "the fluctuating state of property in these provinces;.' but Pitt, on introducing the bill to provide the constitution for Canada, declared it was proposed to â- "annex" the dignity of a member of Council to every title of honour that might be conferred on the inhabitant of each province. Fox, in appointing, k&ld "it seemed to him peculiarly ab- surd to introduce hereditary honours in America, where those artificial distinctions st:.nk in the nostrils of the natives." The clause providing hereditary legislators was, however, carried by a vote of two to one. It is noteworthy, however, that though the proposal became law, no gover- nor and no government ever nut it into force. In view of the so-called Family Compact that ruled the country prior to the establishment of respon- sible government this is all the more noteworthy. Nor has the experiment of calling Canadians to the House of Lords or granting them baronetcies, and thereby recognizing the heredi- tary principlt!, been attended with Very marked results.
