L. Grant as principal of Upper Canada College on Tuesday. Major Crant is the son of a great Canadian, the late principal of Queen's University, a man of great breadth of view and general magnanimity and large heartedness Major Grant appears to have inherited no small measure of these qualities, and there is that in his military career which will appeal to the imagination and re- spect of the genus puer There is already a noble tradition with Upper Canada Coi- Its founder, Sir Jehn Cel- afterwards Lord Seaton, was lege. one knows its dangers so well, nor so able to disériminate with regard to its virtues, as a good soldier. Can- ada has no desire for militarism, and it is te be hoped no n Ja, but there is something finer than mili- tarism in the character of a soldier that must not be omitted from the character of a nation. Major Grant, in his inaugural ad- dress, dwelt upon some of those as- pects of Canadian life that depend for their perfection on the fidelity with which the young men of the are trained love and The issued roll of U.C.C. old upon which Prof. Young has spent so much loving care, testifies to the pride and honor which the old to "school may always feel in those who , went forth 'from her halls.

Those old boys live just as long as they are a memory and an inspiration te us. What sort of Canada shall we show'our dead, when they ask us how we have kept the trust?" From another point of view he was equally worthy 'of attention. 'Above all things we must be Cana- dians in thought, word and deed. We must not be narrowly Canadian, nor narrowly Ontarian." He quoted Milton's! words on England as a fit inspiration for Canada: '""A nation not slow and dull---a nation of pro- phets, sages and warriors." There is not the slightest doubt that the boys who pass through Up- per Canada College exercise a com- manding influence upon the national life; and it is of @ll things import- ant that such fine ideals, such high aspirations as these should be com-; | mended in a practical and acceptable | way to the vouth of the country, as ' there is but little doubt they will be under the.guidance of -the new prin- cipal.

THE SOLDIERS' VOTE MAY DEFEAT EULER Insult to Premier Borden at Kitchener Resented by | Overseas Soldiers. influential function of superb national sound educational London, Dec. 20.--One of the re- markable features of the soldiers' ! vote, both at the camps in England and on the front in France and { Flanders, is the large number of | members of various units from Can- ada who insisted on recording their ballots for the Unionist candidate i who was "running in Kitchener." { The reports had reached the sol- {diers of the insult to Premier Bor- { den when he visited Kitchener dur- { ing his campaign, and the subse- quent refusal of the City Council to make an apology. Deep indignation jas expressed by the troops every- where, and it is certain that the £1 Unionist candidaté fn the riding in which Kitchener is included, gained several thousand votes from this circumstance alone, Although Mr. Euler's majority in North Waterloo now stands at over 2,000, the despatches received indi- cate that Mr. Weichel may be ulti- mately elected as a result of the . votes of the overseas soldiers, DR.
