Cpe lvs Gazette Published weekly, by The Olds Gazette Pub. Co. Ltd. DUNCAN MARSHALL, Presioent ' DONALD GILLIES Manager Subscription 1 per year in advance AN UNWISE PROPHET Mr. R. B. Bennett gave a very interesting interview to the Mon- treal pipers last week, in -which he is reported to have said that the real problem of the future will be How to keep eastern and western. Canada together. Fur- ther, he intimated that the centres of secession were Alberta and Saskatchewan. In other words, Mr. Bennett looks for the break- up of confederation. It is sig- nificant that these remarks were . made in connection with Canada s naval policy.. It means that. if disruption comes it will come on the question: of loyalty to Great Britain as head of the Empire. We cannot think that Mr. B n- nett, a retiring president of the Canadian club and an enthusiastic Tory, could have speculated. upon the inferences from such state-. ments... We think that in this case the language of the famous . Calgarinn outran his thoughts, One thing is true in the future history of Canada, namely, that nothing can destroy the integrity of the Canadian federation. The . federal. basis. on which the Do- miniony Was founded precludes provincialism undoing: federalism. The nine provinces of Canada are in a splendid working. partnership, held together by the strongest considerations of sentiment, and commercial policy. - Political cleav- age in Canada of the grave. char- acter implied in Mr. words is an unthinkable absurdity. It is a: subversion of the nation s progress made in the last fifty years, and the defeat of. the fondest ambitions of every Can- adian statesman whose name is inscribed on the seroll of fame. : Bennett says the. power of ent is weakening. We do think so, and we are sure shelyhis words will do no harm in Alberta. or Saskatchewan. ' They will cause our citizens to e-examine the grounds of their Sleyalty and to re-affirm their faith in Canada and the Empire: Out- side the province. his statements may be misunderstood by friends and cherished by -our enemies, but they will not swerve for.a gt; moment the trend of Can- adi national spirit. This, how- 4 doesnot exeuse the unwise rarices of their author. NOTE AND.COMMENT he Hielanmen . of -Calgary . about to organize a Gaelic iety. We hope they will make addy ? Nolan at least an associ- e member. The London money market. was good last week, for Canadian rail- way securities. Albertans should regard with pleasure the fact that the railway debentures guaranteed by the Alberta government raised a whole point:last week. - Lord Curzon, in the present election in Britain, tries to civilization has come through the ristocracy, but Winston Church- ji that by showing. the : intefiance of the aristocracy has been the hardest task of Civilization. Nothing could better illustrate the true stability of British in- stitutions and the saving grace of he sixth sense of the people than the fact that in the face of the gravest political crisis of a country the London money market shows no panic nor hesitation; in) fact, British consols have improved, Hurian nature is the same averywhere even in the British House of Lords. The old peers, whose lineage might he traced to the days of the Great Charter and the Bill of Rights, counselled moderation, The peers who got) their titles yesterday screeched: yy - for reyolution and advanced pre- posterous claims of the press to interfere in al legislation, financial or otherwise. Premier Asquith says the Bri- tish navy is quite capsble of pro- tec-ing the shores of Great Britain, keeping the trade rouley op n, Bennett's our formerly of Roland, ect : pastity: the lords with. the steiehsent Oe lead maintaining the Empire in- tact not only for the present but many years to come. Most people outside Great Britain agree with him, as most people inside Great Brigain who, do not own sensa- tional. newspapers or follow some other line of business which would be made prosperous by a. war scare and by the huge expenditure which would follow it. In capital ships Britain has. not only more units afloat than any other . power but more than any. other power can have for years. According to the Scientific American, Germany, instead of trying to outdo Britain in battleship construction, 4s mere- ly trying to make up lost ground, having only two dreadnoughts afloat, and being correspondingly behind hand with the other types. This authority. cannot be accused of undue partiality to the Asquith government,.nor to Great Britain, and by those who prefer to. form theit opinions on a basis of know- ledge its assurance will be auoeptes at face value. The British custom of dis- tributing the elections over three weeks strikes,the Canadian as curious, but this was. formerly the rule in Canada as.well. The gen- eral election in 1874 was the first to be held ona single day. The Liberals had advocated this re- reached power they. put it into effect. and.1872 the government of the day brought. on the elections in its .strongholds first, thus giving itself an enormous..advantage by creat- ing .an erroneous impression of strength. In Great Britain, how- evei, the. elections follow a fixed course-and any resulting party advantage is a-matter of chance not of design. EAGLE HILL . Miss Hilda Kjorevik is at home again. le Rumor hus it that mauy-candid- ates for road jeguneulce are in the field. Miss Minnie Johnsrud is visiting for a week at.the home of Conrad Olson.
