Blenheim-HILL. ONT.. Ar'o. 13, 1911 E33]? $652.1. Several newspapers have rightly condemned in strong ternrs the attacks on German citizens in Toron- to, Vancouver and other places in Canada. Naturally at the present time public opinion is much against Germany, and especially against the German Kaiser, but that is a poor reason to molest or insult (lerman fellow-citizens. Everybody who comes to our country to reside with us should be looked upon as Canadian citizens, and should receive every protection. But it is not enough that this rowdyism by the mob should be condemned by newspapers. The offenders should be punished by law and given to understand that attacks on private citizens will not be toler- ated. Hoodluan may look upon such work as an enrblem of patriotism, but it is in reality the act of a coward. CANADA‘S DUTY PLAIN There is no difference of opinion in Canada to day as to the duty of the Dominion in the present crisis. For many reasons the people of Canada are hastening to the assist- ance of Great Britain. The war is not one of aggression on the part of Britain but a war of defence forced upon Britain and her dorninions by the German Emperor. 1b , As a matter of self-interest Canada must do all in her power to meet suezessfully the possible attacks from the Empire’s foes. Nor is this all. Ranged side by side in the conflct are Britain and France, representa- tive of the leftiest ideals and noblest service to be available for the pro» tection of Canadian coasts and trade routes and for co-operation in such a crises as the prescnt with the other naval forces of the Empire. There can be discussion, too, of the reasons which have led to the inaction of the Ministry over a period of three years and the consequences of that neglect as they are evident today. _:Iâ€" HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY Two weeks ago in these columns we said that this Society was one that “did things," and also that they were “going to prove it." at their first An- nual Show on the (5th inst. Tobe sure it was not witlronta dash of nrisgivinar, Incident to all new ventures, that would once and a while worry [hnsv interested. but after all. doubts and fears might well have been put into the background because everybody knows that what Richmond Hill starts out to accomplish. she does. \Vell! to get right at it, the Show was a decided success from every view point;the exhibits themselves notwith- standing the handicap of an exceeding- ly dry season were a credit to the ex. hibitors. competition was close, and most of the awards keenly contested for. The visiting Delegation from the Provincial Association to the number of about 150 were very free in compli- menting the Society on the fine show- ing of flowers and on thelrospitable wnythey had been entertained, and also expressed surprise and pleasure on viewing the immense establish llanlS of Messrs, Larvrenee. Mills, Drrnlop, and Endean Bros. Now their. what of the future? \Vhat lessons have been learned? Possibly the first and greatest leSSon would he the realization of what a wry serious handicap the want of a \Vaterworks system means to Rich- mond Hill. One heard it on all sides, and if the Society can even quicken public opinion in a slight degree. it will have justified its information. \Vaterworks MUST come. The next lesson would probably be to non-exhibitors in [\vo wavs. one,bc- ing a surprise as to what his neigh- bours were doing. and on the other that they alsoslrould have competed. no doubt thinking, and possibly right.- ly so, that they Would have been successful. The next lesson would have been a general one to the exhibi- tors themselves. by comparisons with others” products, that couldn't very well be done in any other way. and one very great lessrn to the officers and members of the Society and to practice in present-day civilization, the nations from which the two great races making up the vast majority of the Canadian people have sprung. Though the great accomplishments of other nations are not to be forgotten defeat for these countries would ineau a set-back to what is best in civilization, victory the widening of the bounds of liberty and progress. For these reasons, if there were no others, Canada’s duty is plain and there is no difi'erenee of opinion among Canadian leaders or the Canadian people as to prompt, whole- hearted action in its fulfilment. Party differences fade into insignif- emce in the presence of the great crisis. The Liberal leader has de- clared “a truce to party strife." Among the right-thinking Canadians it is everywhere recognized that this is not the time for party divisions, party debate and party struggle. Canadian public men and Canadian newspapers, for the mest part, have recognized this fact and are proving true to the obligation it imposes upon them to forget partisanship remember only the needs of Canada and the Empire. Unfortunately, there have been a few unworthy ex- eeptions. Unable to emulate the patriotic example of the statesmen and press of Britain, attempts have been made in Canada to engender party feeling at the threshold of the greatest crisis with which the British peoples have ever been faced. Such conduct in- vites reprisals brrt it is the part of a ' true patriotism to do nothing to . rouse political strife at a time when there is need of a united action in the Dominion and throughout the British » Empire. In due time effective reply can be made to present attacks upon Liberal- ism, and there can be full discussion of the course followed by Sir Robert Borden and his colleagues in abanâ€" doning in the face of a unanimous resolution of the House of Commons the policy already successfully enin- l merrch by Sir Wilfrid Laurier and i his colleagues of a Canadian naval rumâ€".- 'â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€" aud ‘ our people asa whole. would be that Richmond Hill and vicinity is wonder- fully :rdapted for the production of flowers, in profusion, of the very best quality. Too great. credit can not be given to our local Florists for the generous way they contributed to the success of the Show. Publicity Uoni. DIVâ€"iSIUN -Cturr.
