At the present time, there seems but little hope that the invasion will not continue. France is in a determined mood, and not even the great con- cessions offered by Bonar Law have been of any avail.

ELEOTION PROCEDURE IN THE U.S. A new Progressive bloc has been formed in the United States Congress, under the leadership of Senator La Follete, and, at a recent caucus, it drew up a platform. One of the planks of this platform had reference to the election procedure fin that country, and it reads as follows: "In order to perpetuate and restore the control of the people over their government, we [propose the institu- tion of a nation-wide campaign in the various states for direct, open prim- aries for all elective offices, includ- ing the presidency." In just what way they expect thls plank in their platform to appeal to the people of the United States is rather hard to understand. The prim- ary election is one in which the Re- publicans vote on one ballot, and the Democrats on another, for the pur. pose of selecting, it is supposed, the candidates who will represent the parties in the elections proper, which are held some months later on. It is In existence in many states now, but is somewht of a fifth wheel to a coach. It simply means that these states are put to the trouble and ex- pense of two elections, i of cne. The primaries stir up just as much excitement and turmoil as do the actual elections, and, as the pre- idential campaign lasts for shout six months, and ties up business for that length of time, the holding of nation- wide primaries would simply prolong this agony. ; If the will of the people, as expres- eed at the primaries, really was ef- fective, there might be some ularly in the caso of the presidential elections, this is not always the case. In the selection of ithefr candidates for the presidency, the parties of the United States, in the states 'where primaries are held, are supposed to carry out the will of the people as expressed in these primaries, but the national convention of the party, which is made wh of delegates from each state dn the union. At these great conventions, the candidate who ican win the greatest inumber of votes reason for holding them, but, partie- |! | Canada, in order to 1egain prosperity | This | absolutzly eesentdal fc :0- in| | must increase her excort trade [12 "LL |our national progress.

The greatest exporting tors of Canada have been Great Britain and the United States Yet, during last year, Canala exported goods worth $150 per capita of the population, as compared with $98.00 per capita for the United Kingdom and $65.00 per capita for the Unit- ed States.
