a million native-born_ Canadians _now
here will almost unanimously testify.
A union such as I have suggested
could be accomplished without difficulty
or friction were the parties favorable
to it. I mean by this that there are
no discordant elements that could not
be readily assimilated.
True it is that there have been differ¬
ences between the two countries that
have led to much hard feeling, but the
present war is rapidly obliterating them.
There is now certainly no ill feeling in
this country against Canada, and I
think I may say that our doors are open
to her when she wills to come, if ever.
If not then let all of us do our best to
increase the good neighborhood that
now exists, and so far as we can in¬
crease it to our mutual advantage.

Burglar Insurance Rates Increased.

thousand, instead of $16.50 a thousand,

been always considered more hazardous,
due to the fact that ingress is easily
accomplished* Samuel B. Brewster, the
retiring seci^tary of the association,
stated that the number of robberies in
elevator houses had materially increased,
which was the cause In the advance in
the rates. Insurance companies are ask¬

perintendents of tenement houses in
guarding against thefts through the ex-
ercisiner of more care in the hiring of
help. Tenants are also being requested
to use vigilance in the investigation of
servants* references.
