He has seen much , of Canada and Canadians of late, and probably will ,feel more at home in this British city now than when he first set foot among us. He has repeatedly proclaimed his•Canadian- ism while• in the Dominion. He may rest assured that the people of Canada con- sider him as much one of themselves as do they of Great Britain. We recognize no distinctions of domestic Nationality. Within the Commonweglth we are Britons all. The British kingly line is our common and most precidus heritage. Its value' has 'been greatly enhanced thru the personality of the Prince of Wales. Therefore,~ we look upon him, next to his royal father, as the \first and best of Canadians. We shall greet him and hold, him as such, not only while he remains with us, but as long as he lives, and where'ver he may be.
E shall look forward to repetitions of this highly satisfactory visit. It has probably been no 'easy occasion for His Royal Highness. On the contrary, it must have involved strenuous and exhausting Work. The cheerfulness with which he has borne its toils and trials and deprivations, has been one of the most rt important.'of his passports to popular affection and esteem. It is to behoped and expected that his future visits will be less trying and /more enjoyable. He .has done his official duty to the full this time. Hereafter; he should be free to come, go 'or stay as an enfranchised Canadian citizen, and land owner. He'should be at liberty as a free and independent,elector to join the "United Farmers" if he wishes, and get into - the politico-agricultural running while it continues good. Or, if he prefers it, lie might join the Senat e, ex-officio, as he does the House of Lords. His age would be a bar at present; but, if he is patient,' he will probably be old enough some day even for the Senate.
HE pity of it is that the Prince did not fall into the hands of 'some of our T Nova Scotian real estate men before he went West to "grow up with the country". We feel sure that they could have shown him farms in thie province which would have ren4red him completely immune to the lure of Alberta. It is really too bad that he is to leave us with so little knowledge of the beauties and charms and privileges of these provinces by the sea—so much more accessible and so much more attractive to well in formed "immigrants" of all ranks than the monotonous prairies of the West. Halifax and St. John and Charlottetown, which he has seen, are by no means repr e sentative of the physical attractions of the Maritime Provinces. We are not d erogating from their merits as centres of population saying that each of them is more or less isolated in situation from the province of which, it is the, cap ital. Halifax has mainly its harbor to Commend its site. It gives a passinT visitor little suggestion of .the rich farm- ing, fruit-growing, grazing, forest and m ining districts behind it.
WE could have shown the Prince far better fishing and hunting groundS than he V v found in the West, and infinitely more picturesque settings. We could have shown him farming areas rivalling the bqst even in fertile England. We could have shown him orcharding districts unsurpassed in the world. But he has seen none of these; and some one—not he—is to blame. He will be the poorer in recollec- tions in consequence. Moreover, we could have shown him land-living and land- loving people as loyal and as likeable, to say the least, as any he found in the in- terior of the Dominion. That these' have not been privileged to see him and he them, is their mutual misfortune, but the fault of neither. Three days, in effect, in die Maritime, Provinces, out of a three months' sojourn in Canada, was ob- viously an unfair apportionment of time. But that is not a matter for consider- ation just now, with the Prince again in Halifax 'to bid farewell to Canada from this port. IIIS tour of thJ Dominion has been most fortunate and successful. It has been marred by no untoward event. It has been the means, largely thru his own personality, of laying deeper still the foundations of ' the Throne, not merely in the good will, but in the hearts and minds of Britons everywhere, It has made infinitely wider the bounds of Empire, not, by extension of physical territory, but by enlarging 'the domains of sympathy 'and sentiment. In seeking closer ac- quaintanceship with his future Canadian subjects, the Prince of Wales has re- vealed himself and the Throne as the greatest of all Britain's National assets, IA-6-v 2.6' Li- 19i
