30956 | What happened next? |
30956 | What happened under this system? |
30956 | What importance was to be attached to the propertyless? |
30956 | What resulted? |
30956 | What set of men do we find now in control of this railroad, doing with it as they please? |
30956 | What was the result? |
30956 | What was this effect? |
30956 | What were the intrinsic circumstances of the means by which he bought land, now worth hundreds of millions of dollars? |
30956 | What would the medieval baron have been without armed force? |
30956 | What, indeed, became of them? |
30956 | What, then, was the reason? |
30956 | When the Indians were made maudlin drunk and bargained with for their furs were they paid in money? |
30956 | Where did the money come from with which this railroad was built? |
30956 | Where did these rents, the volume of which was so great that the surplus part of them went into other forms of investments, come from? |
30956 | Wherefore this silence? |
30956 | Who paid them and how did the tenants of these mammoth landlords live? |
30956 | Why did they do this? |
30956 | Why make the artificial division of one- half? |
30956 | Why this partiality? |
30956 | Why? |
30956 | Yet why slur the practices of past generations when we to- day are confronted by the same perversions? |
30956 | [ 93] WHERE WAS FRAUD ABSENT? |
6495 | But what did you do when you heard of it? |
6495 | Was I here last Thursday? |
6495 | Why not? 6495 Years have passed away,"continued the Senator,"and what has Texas got?" |
6495 | After having bribed legislatures to legalize his enormous issue of watered stock, what was Vanderbilt''s next move? |
6495 | And he went on: And while the toiler is thus engaged in creating the world''s value, how fares his own interest and well- being? |
6495 | And how? |
6495 | And the cause? |
6495 | And the grounds of the decision were what? |
6495 | And the reason for this parental sternness? |
6495 | And the remedy proposed in the memorial? |
6495 | And to whom was the business of buying, equipping and supervising them intrusted? |
6495 | And upon what evidence? |
6495 | And what became of these millions in loot? |
6495 | And what had the Credit Mobilier Company charged? |
6495 | And what was Vanderbilt''s share of the$ 44,000,000? |
6495 | And who were the legistators bribed? |
6495 | And who, it may be curiously asked, were the classes self destined or self selected to do this regenerating? |
6495 | As a young man what did Jay Gould see? |
6495 | But how was the work of destruction to be done? |
6495 | But how was this wealth to be obtained? |
6495 | But what became of the charges against Vanderbilt? |
6495 | But who did the work of contracting and building, and who determined what the cost was? |
6495 | But who specifically did the bribing? |
6495 | Collamer.--The Collins line was set up by special contract? |
6495 | Could the mechanic or farmer demand a better law? |
6495 | Did Roberts sell or chatter any other boats to the Government? |
6495 | Did it not hold out the opportunity to the poorest to get land for which payment could be gradually made? |
6495 | Did the Government make any move to arrest, indict and imprison Vanderbilt and his tools? |
6495 | Did the courts punish these men for criminal contempt? |
6495 | Did they foot this bill out of their own pockets? |
6495 | For how much? |
6495 | Had not Vanderbilt and other capitalists often bought up Congress and Legislatures and common councils? |
6495 | He controlled a sufficient number of judges; why should not they buy up the Legislature, as he had often done? |
6495 | His ambition was consummated; what mattered it to him that his fortune was begot in blackmail and extortion, bribery and theft? |
6495 | How did Vanderbilt manage to extort millions of dollars? |
6495 | How was this alarming exigency to be met? |
6495 | If the process was so marked in 1900 what must it be now? |
6495 | Is the coffee at all merchantable? |
6495 | Meanwhile, how was the great farming class faring? |
6495 | Since Government was actually, although not avowedly or apparently, a property regime, what was the condition of the millions of non- propertied? |
6495 | Since they could no longer use their ships or make profit on ocean routes why not palm off their vessels upon the Government? |
6495 | They had been used to stifle many another protest of the workers; why not this? |
6495 | To whom did the Government turn in this exigency? |
6495 | Verily, what of the great hosts of toilers who have done their work and shuffled off to oblivion? |
6495 | WHY THIS BIASED VIEW OF GOULD''S CAREER? |
6495 | Was ever a finer, a more glorious chance presented? |
6495 | Were they true or calumniatory? |
6495 | What did Gould''s plunder amount to? |
6495 | What did he do with this sum? |
6495 | What did the Vanderbilts and their allies now do? |
6495 | What had the company done with its large land grant? |
6495 | What if helpless people are swept off by starvation or by diseases superinduced by lack of proper food? |
6495 | What if they did suffer and perish? |
6495 | What if this property had been bought, laid out and graded by the city at considerable expense? |
6495 | What if$ 50,000,000 had been stolen? |
6495 | What was it? |
6495 | What was the result of all this investigation? |
6495 | What were the aspirations of the working class which it was to uplift? |
6495 | What were the consequences to this large body of the seizure by a few of the greater part of the public domain? |
6495 | What were their aspirations, difficulties, movements and struggles? |
6495 | What, however, of the workers in the mines? |
6495 | What, may we ask, were these men snarling, cursing and fighting over? |
6495 | Whence came it to this curious repository? |
6495 | Where lay the trouble? |
6495 | Where were you?" |
6495 | While the combination was high- handedly forcing the consumer to pay enormous prices, how was it acting toward them? |
6495 | Who could deny that the phalanx of capitalists scrambling forward to share in this carnival of plunder were not gifted with unerring judgment? |
6495 | Who did not know that he had bribed Legislature after Legislature, and had constantly resorted to conspiracy and fraud? |
6495 | Who would inherit his aggregation of wealth? |
6495 | Whom did he appoint as the supreme official in charge of railroad transportation? |
6495 | Why be satisfied with one portion, when the whole was within reach? |
6495 | Why continue to act as middlemen in transporting the coal? |
6495 | Why not consolidate the two roads? |
6495 | Why not now do the same? |
6495 | Why not vest in themselves the ownership of these vast areas of coal lands, and secure all the profits instead of those from merely handling the coal? |
6495 | Why, indeed, should they not have their gilded palaces? |
6495 | Why, then, should we continue to waste the public money?" |
6495 | Yet, it may well be asked now, even if for the first time, why has Jay Gould been plucked out as a special object of opprobrium? |
6495 | [ Footnote: Q.--Do you think you could remember the aggregate amount of wrong- doing on the part of Mr. Gould that you have discovered? |

26935 | COULD WE GET ALONG WITHOUT THE TREES? |
26935 | Can it be wrong to gather all that we wish of the beautiful flowers with which the earth is carpeted? |
26935 | Can you guess what it is? |
26935 | Can you think of any rivers that are used in this way? |
26935 | Conservation or devastation-- which shall it be? |
26935 | Could she wear this cape if she knew of the forsaken nests and the hundreds of dying young ones waiting for the mothers that never returned? |
26935 | Did these early people live entirely upon meat? |
26935 | Did you ever think how long a time it has taken to make the rocks and store away in them gold, silver, copper, and iron? |
26935 | Do you ne''er think what wondrous beings these? |
26935 | Do you ne''er think who made them, and who taught The dialect they speak, where melodies Alone are the interpreters of thought? |
26935 | Do you not see, then, that we have almost as much control over water and its distribution as though we could increase or decrease the rainfall? |
26935 | Do you not think that this farmer is very much interested in the management of the forest, although he does not own a foot of it? |
26935 | Do you not think we are wise in seeking how to take better care of this land of ours? |
26935 | Does it not seem strange that where little rain falls the earth washes a great deal faster than where it rains very heavily? |
26935 | HOW FAR WILL NATURE RESTORE HER WASTED GIFTS? |
26935 | Has not Nature grown them in her great garden in such abundance that all we pick will make no difference to her? |
26935 | Have you ever been in a dust storm or have you read of caravans caught in such storms in the Sahara Desert? |
26935 | Have you ever seen the giant sugar pines on the slopes of the Western mountains? |
26935 | How can this be if the soil is so necessary? |
26935 | How did men discover that they could travel on the water? |
26935 | How did this country, once rich and fruitful, become so barren? |
26935 | How do the fires start in the forest? |
26935 | How is it that in the short space of fifty years many of them have almost disappeared from their ancient haunts? |
26935 | How many people ever think of the quail in any other light than as a delicious morsel to be served up on toast for dinner? |
26935 | How many things do you use every day that are made of wood? |
26935 | How much do you suppose all the rivulets which make up the rivers of your state washed from all the gardens and fields during the same storm? |
26935 | How much soil do you suppose the rivulets washed from my garden and from yours during the last severe storm? |
26935 | How, then, are these poor people to blame for the condition of their country? |
26935 | If he cares for this, will he not for thee-- Thee, wherever thou art today? |
26935 | If we cut them down, will they ever come back? |
26935 | In time may not the love of the forest wilds come back to us all? |
26935 | Is it any wonder that the egrets are nearly extinct as a result of this merciless slaughter? |
26935 | Is it any wonder that the herring is now decreasing in numbers? |
26935 | Is it not interesting to know that we plant young oysters on oyster farms, and raise oyster crops, all below the level of high tide? |
26935 | Is it not strange that what is good for one tree is an enemy of another? |
26935 | Is it true, however, that all the vast waters of the ocean are full of fish, or are they found only in certain parts? |
26935 | Is not the good that we do far greater than the harm? |
26935 | It is very easy to understand why trees can not grow where it is dry, but how shall we learn of the effect of cold upon them? |
26935 | May not the time come when each one of us shall be able to look at a beautiful tree and not think only of how much lumber it would make? |
26935 | May not the time come when we may hear the grouse drumming its call and not feel the desire to kill and eat it? |
26935 | Of what is this gorgeous thing made? |
26935 | Rising above all other sounds, as the morning advances, are the cheery calls of the quail who seems to say:"Where are you? |
26935 | Shall we cause our remote descendants to suffer for our carelessness? |
26935 | Shall we not now seek to learn which of the natural resources of our land will never be replaced if we squander them? |
26935 | Should we not take just as much pleasure in gathering the flowers if we did not bring home more than we needed? |
26935 | Thus the people freed themselves from the birds, but what was the harvest that they reaped? |

26935 | What, then, becomes of the water? |

26935 | Where are you? |
26935 | Where, then, does it come from? |
26935 | Who will find the first_ spring beauty_ in the Eastern woods? |
26935 | Why do you suppose this name was given to the sea? |
26935 | Why does not the soil gather over the rocks as it does in other places? |
26935 | Why does the rain, which once made this country fruitful, now wash away the soil and make it barren? |
26935 | Will these be replaced when once they have all been used up? |
26935 | Will this take away all interest that you may have in the forests? |
26935 | Would it not be better to be satisfied with smaller bouquets and leave enough in the fields to go to seed and gladden us next year? |
26935 | Would it not seem pretty hard to have to go out and hunt for your breakfast in the woods, or fields, or along the water? |

43211 | And you instruct your apprentice in the same line? |
43211 | At the time they worked those long hours, would it have been in their power to work a shorter number of hours, taking the 3s.? |
43211 | At what time did it come on? |
43211 | At what time in the morning, in the brisk time, did those girls go to the mills? |
43211 | At whose factory did you work? |
43211 | But how are this moderation and uniformity of price to be produced? |
43211 | But will any person contend that this state of affairs can long continue? |
43211 | By what means do you understand those vends have been limited? |
43211 | Could you dispose of their wages, when they had received them, as you wished: did you understand that? |

43211 | Different sorts of wool are applicable to different dyes and different manufactures? |

43211 | Why need I detain the House by a specification of these injurious results? |
43211 | Why should the Dutch be prevented from dealing with them?] |
43211 | Why( said Mr. Philips) should a commercial and manufacturing country like this have such a jealousy and dread of the importation of corn? |
43211 | Will a farmer give up his right of commonage? |

43598 | ''[ 34]_ The Balance of Power and Defence of Law and Nationality._''Why were you so whole- soully for this war?'' |
43598 | ''[ 44]''When will peace come?'' |
43598 | ''[ 47] Has it done so? |
43598 | (_ What is coming?_ p. 198). |
43598 | A secret treaty, it will be urged, about which the public knew nothing? |
43598 | And if it could work for the purposes of war, why not for those of peace? |
43598 | And if not Russia, where? |
43598 | And if so, what is the nature of this prepossession? |
43598 | And what was the counter principle which it advocated as a substitute therefore? |
43598 | And, if there has been a re- valuation, why? |
43598 | Are we prepared to take the things made in the factories of Herr Stinnes or other Germans? |
43598 | But are they honest gestures? |
43598 | But are we ourselves-- Britain or France-- in better state? |
43598 | But emigration where? |
43598 | But if each must give, or at least risk, everything that he possessed, even life itself, were others giving or risking what they possessed? |
43598 | But if it was done originally from''love of fellow- countrymen,''why this cessation of interest? |
43598 | But is this belief in Nationality at all? |
43598 | But what can the''realist''Italian statesman, whose first duty is to his own country do? |
43598 | But what is the indispensable prerequisite for the success of such an effort? |
43598 | But what is the practical alternative? |
43598 | But who compels the army to carry out the State''s orders rather than its own will or the personal will of its commander? |
43598 | But why should she feel any particular affection for men who mine coal, or couple railway trucks, or catch fish in the North Sea? |
43598 | By pressure against America or Germany? |
43598 | By what process did we arrive at religious toleration as a social principle? |
43598 | CHAPTER VII COULD THE WAR HAVE BEEN PREVENTED? |
43598 | Can it be a selfishness which ruins and starves us all? |
43598 | Can there not be a destructive idealism as well as a social one? |
43598 | Can we not, then, celebrate victory with light hearts, honour our dead and glorify our arms? |
43598 | Can we safely give these instinctive pugnacities full play? |
43598 | Could the War have been prevented? |
43598 | Did the German ask of the Alsatian or the Pole worse than we have been compelled to ask of our own soldiers in Russia, India, or Ireland? |
43598 | Did the policy suggest that we should simply yield to German political pretensions? |
43598 | Did we honestly think that Russia had proved herself more liberal in the treatment of the Poles than Austria, whose Government we were destroying? |
43598 | Do we add to the''force''of the Alliance by increasing the military power of Serbia, if that fact provokes her to challenge Italy? |
43598 | Do we realise all that this means? |
43598 | Does any one really believe that Western Society could remain stable, resting on moral foundations of this kind? |
43598 | Does the American plead that the circumstances which warp an Englishman''s or Frenchman''s judgment could never warp an American''s? |
43598 | Either they were born dead, or if they were born alive-- what was there to give them? |
43598 | Get even by knocking over a few guys, see?'' |
43598 | Has it any direct relation to certain moral tendencies that have succeeded it? |
43598 | Has its total outcome affected certain values of the fundamental kind just indicated? |
43598 | He said further:--''How was this Empire of Britain founded? |
43598 | How can the earth, which is limited, find food for an increase of population which is unlimited? |
43598 | How can they be corrected? |
43598 | How can they be corrected? |
43598 | How could a State, say Britain, act on behalf of an economic entity such as that just indicated? |
43598 | How far has our victory achieved that object? |
43598 | How have they arisen? |
43598 | How have they arisen? |
43598 | How in practical politics are we to say when a group has become preponderantly powerful? |
43598 | How is it that we are not horrified and do not resolve that not for a single day shall any preventable evil exist? |
43598 | How is it, that, on the contrary, for two years we have been cheerfully engaged in intensifying the sum of human suffering? |
43598 | How is the situation to develop? |
43598 | How shall she turn that fact to account? |
43598 | I repeat, How do you know he will get down? |
43598 | If he had supposed those powerful ideas were making_ not_ for war, but for peace, why as a pacifist should he be at such pains to change them? |
43598 | If not, what do we propose that Germany shall give? |
43598 | If so, whose? |
43598 | If the psychology of Nationalism renders so simple a problem insoluble, what will be its effect upon the problem of Europe as a whole? |
43598 | If the resultant hostilities can operate as between two national groups like the British and the American, what groups can be free of them? |
43598 | Indeed, has not the experience of the War discredited much of the theory of the interdependence of nations? |
43598 | Into Russia? |
43598 | Into which danger have we run as a matter of simple fact? |
43598 | Is America alone in this change of feeling about the small State? |
43598 | Is it not indeed what one of their writers had called a''holy hate,''instinctive, intuitive, purged of all calculation of advantage or disadvantage? |
43598 | Is it physical force which prevents it? |
43598 | Is it that they never were our real aims at all, or that war has wrought a change in our nature with reference to them? |
43598 | Is the policy which our power supported before the War-- and still supports-- compatible with it? |
43598 | Is the political struggle for territory a struggle for bread? |
43598 | Is this collection of mushroom republics to possess a stability to which the Entente could not attain? |
43598 | Milk? |
43598 | More force-- more revolvers and bowie knives? |
43598 | Now let us see what this writer has to say as to the German power to- day? |
43598 | Or if not these, what others? |
43598 | Or shall we go forward to a recognised international economic system, in which the small States will have their rights secured by a definite code? |
43598 | Or that he could never find himself in similar circumstances? |
43598 | Ought any nation to have such a right? |
43598 | Paper marks increased in quantity until they reach just the value of the paper they are printed on? |
43598 | Put this question to yourself, patriot Englishmen:"Was the sinking of the_ Lusitania_ as cruel, as prolonged, as mean, as merciless a death as this?" |
43598 | Shall we not have destroyed this Prussian philosophy of frightfulness, force, and hate? |
43598 | Shall we not have proved to the world that a State without military power can trust to the good faith and humanity of its neighbours? |
43598 | Shall we suggest to Germany that she must deal with this problem as the thrifty householder deals with the too frequent progeny of the family cat? |
43598 | Sheer original sin, apart from political or economic circumstance? |
43598 | Should we get even eighty per cent, of the pre- war output or anything like it? |
43598 | Should we have thought his position any more logical if he had explained that he was opposed to slavery because he did not want to become a slave? |
43598 | Should we make a naval alliance, with Great Britain, or form a new League of Nations, or denounce Article X, or...?" |
43598 | Starve? |
43598 | Starve? |
43598 | Suppose, then, we put the question''Can German Foreign Trade be increased?'' |
43598 | The Inherent Superiority of the Anglo- Saxon Stock? |
43598 | Then why is she bankrupt? |
43598 | To deny the existence of the German or other aggressiveness? |
43598 | To what do the facts as a whole really point?'' |
43598 | Was it necessary thus to''organise''hate for the purposes of war? |
43598 | Was this the instrument for the conquest of half a world? |
43598 | We shall get nearer to the heart of our problem if, instead of asking perpetually''_ Who_ caused the War?'' |
43598 | Well, suppose it did? |
43598 | Well, will the reader note that_ the above does not refer to Germany at all, but to Russia_? |
43598 | Were we not as a matter of fact fighting-- and dying-- for something else? |
43598 | What are the facts supporting the foregoing proposition? |
43598 | What are the motives which each State thus fears its neighbours may obey? |
43598 | What are the post- war facts in this connection? |
43598 | What are they to do? |
43598 | What are they to do? |
43598 | What are we going to do about it? |
43598 | What degree of sovereignty will you surrender as your contribution to a new order? |
43598 | What do we propose to Germany, now that we have beaten her, as the means of dealing with those million babies? |
43598 | What do we see to- day in Europe? |
43598 | What has been its effect upon social impulses? |
43598 | What is a market? |
43598 | What is a writer to do, however, in the face of persistent misrepresentation such as this? |
43598 | What is a''Balance?'' |
43598 | What is likely to be her view of the general situation in Europe at the present moment?... |
43598 | What is the first need in restoring order? |
43598 | What is their nature? |
43598 | What is then to happen? |
43598 | What is wrong? |
43598 | What is your plan? |
43598 | What made her more aggressive than other nations, than those who later became our Allies-- Russia, Rumania, Italy, Japan, France? |
43598 | What of all fanatics ready to die for their idealism? |
43598 | What of the Holy Wars? |
43598 | What of the Prussian who, after all, had his ideal, as the Bolshevist has his? |
43598 | What ought we to do? |
43598 | What picture is summoned to our minds by the word''economics''in relation to war? |
43598 | What purpose? |
43598 | What results? |
43598 | What should we have thought of a Southerner of the old Slave States fulminating against the crime of slavery? |
43598 | What then is the reason why these millions starve in the midst of potential plenty? |
43598 | What then? |
43598 | What type of nature can develop in such conditions? |
43598 | What was that policy? |
43598 | What was the explanation? |
43598 | What was the political belief and the attitude towards life which_ The Great Illusion_ challenged? |
43598 | What will you pay for it, in terms of national sovereignty? |
43598 | What, in fact,_ is_ the price that is asked of us? |
43598 | What, outlined as briefly as possible, was its central argument? |
43598 | When the''high- brows''are all at sixes and sevens, what is a man to think? |
43598 | Where has the War, and the complex of desires it developed, left our moral values? |
43598 | Where is the economic advantage of the military method? |
43598 | Which of these trades does Paris think she is going to develop on a hitherto unprecedented scale? |
43598 | Which tendency is it that is acting as the present disruptive force in Europe? |
43598 | Who is to use the force if no one man can agree with the other? |
43598 | Why are we Balkanised rather than Federalised? |
43598 | Why are we so callous? |
43598 | Why are we so heedless? |
43598 | Why do Balkan and other border States fight fiercely over this coalfield or that harbour? |
43598 | Why does America now wash her hands of the whole muddle in Europe? |
43598 | Why does France keep three- fourths of a Continent still in ferment, making reparations more and more remote"? |
43598 | Why does France still oppose trade with Russia, and plot for the control of an enlarged Poland or a reactionary Hungary? |
43598 | Why is this? |
43598 | Why should the desire of one people to rule itself, to be free, be thwarted by another making exactly the same demands? |
43598 | Why should we expect that the result should be greatly different upon American opinion? |
43598 | Why was none taken? |
43598 | Why was that policy not carried out? |
43598 | Why? |
43598 | Why? |
43598 | Will he not have made Peace-- permanent Peace? |
43598 | Would her need for expansion become less? |
43598 | Would successful war by us remove the economic and political causes which were part at least of the explanation of German aggression? |
43598 | Would that co- operation, giving security to others, demand the sacrifice of the interest or welfare of their own people? |
43598 | Would we keep out of the War if Germany refrained from crossing the Belgian frontier? |
43598 | You think that a foolish and fantastic question? |
43598 | [ 80] Is it necessary to say that the present writer does not accept it? |
43598 | _ From Balance to Community of Power_ Does the foregoing imply that force or compulsion has no place in human society? |
18032 | Build a navy? |
18032 | But why not let them come out here and work and go back? |
18032 | Can he write? |
18032 | Canada should have her own shipyards? |
18032 | Do you want it? |
18032 | Does this man understand for what he is voting? |
18032 | Have not the English carried vices to India? |
18032 | How about Imperial Federation? |
18032 | How can Canadians be loyal to a system of government that acknowledges some fat king sitting on a throne chair like a mummy as ruler? |
18032 | How much can a good Indian hunter make in a season? |
18032 | How much fur comes yearly to Edmonton? |
18032 | See any coal? |
18032 | The last chapter of the fur trade has been written? |
18032 | Then what becomes of your co- eds and woman movement? |
18032 | What are those hopes? |
18032 | What''s Newfoundland to us? |
18032 | Who''d''a''thought of takin''any offense from touchin''up this blamed dead town? |
18032 | Why are you loyal? |
18032 | Why do I think so many young Englishmen fail to make good settlers? |
18032 | Why do you think so many young Englishmen fail to make good in Canada? |
18032 | Why should a Sikh not marry a white woman? |
18032 | Why should we pay for railroads? |
18032 | Why,asked the Conservatives,"should we support the Laurier policy of building a tin- pot navy?" |
18032 | Why? |
18032 | Why_ should_ we want Imperial Federation? |
18032 | Would they cut his throat? |
18032 | Again-- why not? |
18032 | Americans say of opportunity--"How much can we make of it?" |
18032 | And Japan asks-- why not? |
18032 | And again Japan asks-- why not? |
18032 | And if Panama does divert traffic from land to water, wo n''t that divert a share of shipping away from Montreal and St. John and Halifax? |
18032 | And if it has, wo n''t it be to hurt our railroads? |
18032 | And if it were to the advantage of a hostile power to cripple Canada, could she be conquered? |
18032 | And"the last chapter of the fur romance has been written"? |
18032 | Anything like it? |
18032 | Are they a stench to Heaven as the Hindu''s? |
18032 | Are we not sprung from the same Aryan stock? |
18032 | Besides, the minute Canada voluntarily enters a European war, does she forfeit American"protection"under that Monroe Doctrine? |
18032 | But can it be said that the institution of child marriage is an unknown or even a rare crime in India? |
18032 | But is n''t all this stretching one''s fancy a bit too far in the future? |
18032 | But the point is-- why was it these million and a half Canadians found better opportunities in the United States than in Canada? |
18032 | But where to? |
18032 | CHAPTER IX THE HINDU I Is it, then, that Canada fears the growth of Japan as a great world power? |
18032 | Can Canada as a foster mother redeem such as these? |
18032 | Can Canada keep a fair field and no favors? |
18032 | Can one conceive for one minute of the Imperial government refusing to amend the British North American Act? |
18032 | Can you see the white men''s eyes pop out of their heads with astonishment? |
18032 | Canada is saying, with a little note of belligerency in her voice-- What''s Panama to us? |
18032 | Canada was a federation, but a federation of what? |
18032 | Canadians do not ask--"_Who_ are you?" |
18032 | Canadians say--"How little can we pay for it?" |
18032 | Could Hindus who landed in British Columbia destitute a few years ago possibly have that amount of money among them? |
18032 | Crops were abundant, but where could they be sold? |
18032 | Do the Canadian teachers receive the same recognition? |
18032 | Do you appreciate the amazing optimistic confidence of this bankrupt argonaut? |
18032 | Do you know your rail traffic has jumped from 36,000,000 tons in 1900 to 90,000,000 tons in 1912? |
18032 | Do you know-- they asked-- that you have five times more traffic-- seventy- two million tons-- going through your canals than is expected for Panama? |
18032 | Do you realize-- they asked-- that your three grain provinces alone are three times the area of the German Empire? |
18032 | Do you think he was to be pitied? |
18032 | Does Canada desire the system of the child wife embodied in her national life? |
18032 | Does Canada want such a shadow? |
18032 | Does Canada want that system embodied in her national life? |
18032 | Does any other factor enter deeply in Canadians''every- day living? |
18032 | Does he believe that each man should stand upon his own feet or lean upon a state crutch? |
18032 | Does it sound very much to you like a region where the settler would ultimately drive out the fur trade? |
18032 | Does not England colonize; does not Germany colonize; does not France colonize? |
18032 | Does the habit react on public life? |
18032 | For what else have a million and a half British born come to the free homesteads of Canada? |
18032 | Forward whither-- do you ask of Canada? |
18032 | Had n''t Canada, a country of seven million population, a railroad system of 29,000 miles? |
18032 | Had n''t the Dominion spent$ 138,000,000 on canals heading traffic to the St. Lawrence? |
18032 | Had n''t they been telling themselves so since confederation, when they pledged the credit of Canada to build a transcontinental? |
18032 | Had the Old Book some deep economic reason when it warned the children of Israel against mixing their blood with aliens? |
18032 | Had the province exceeded its rights? |
18032 | Has Canada a foundation beneath her high hopes? |
18032 | Has Canada found herself? |
18032 | Has flunkeyism any part in the pro- loyalty of Canada? |
18032 | Has her progress since 1890 kept pace with the United States? |
18032 | Has it all anything to do with the centuries''cesspools of unbridled vice? |
18032 | Have they no claim? |
18032 | Have we dug down to the fountain spring of Canadian loyalty? |
18032 | How about Canada? |
18032 | How about a merchant marine for Canada? |
18032 | How about the Chinese vices? |
18032 | How are you to know they are child wives and not daughters? |
18032 | How can Panama turn the Pacific Coast into a front door instead of a back door? |
18032 | How can we expect good morals among three to five thousand men who are forcibly separated from wives and children? |
18032 | How could this be brought about? |
18032 | How does all this bear on Canada? |
18032 | How does he do this? |
18032 | How does the Canadian live in his home? |
18032 | How far is_ too_ far? |
18032 | How has Canada escaped so much of this fungus excrescence of representative government? |
18032 | How is it that a people with such a genius for success in foreign trade have been so dilatory in their work of nation- building? |
18032 | How long is navigation open on the Bay? |
18032 | How would Canada abolish the child wife system if Hindu votes outnumbered Canadian votes? |
18032 | How? |
18032 | I asked,"Have those little sticks drifted down fifteen hundred miles to this lagoon of dead water?" |
18032 | II And now, what is Canada doing? |
18032 | II What are the facts? |
18032 | II What, then, is the tie that binds colony to Mother Country? |
18032 | III The question may be asked, do not these large figures presage the hunting to extinction of fur- bearing animals? |
18032 | III What part does religion play in Canada? |
18032 | IV The question is-- will Canada remain Canada when these new races come up to power? |
18032 | IV What of the road itself? |
18032 | If Americans have entered so powerfully into Canadian industrial life, why was reciprocity rejected? |
18032 | If Newfoundland is absolutely essential to a Greater Britain Overseas, why is she not part of Canada? |
18032 | If Panama works this great reduction, this revolution, in freights, will that not hurt the railroads? |
18032 | If Suez were cut off and Canada were cut off, where would England look for her food supply? |
18032 | If forgery did not matter, why should perjury? |
18032 | If it is good for the Canadian producer to buy in the cheapest market and to sell in the highest, why was reciprocity rejected? |
18032 | If it is n''t the labor unions and it is n''t the fear of new national power that prejudice against the Oriental-- what is it? |
18032 | If there is a grain blockade now, what will there be when you cultivate 100,000,000 acres? |
18032 | If two currents meet and do not blend, what? |
18032 | In a word, has the Canadian found himself? |
18032 | Is he beer- drinking, lethargic, dreamy and flabby in will power; or is he whisky- drinking, fiery, practical and pugnacious? |
18032 | Is it a matter of money, at all; or of appreciative intelligence? |
18032 | Is it a menace or a portent? |
18032 | Is it a shadow, or a substance? |
18032 | Is it any wonder, when the fourth time came and Canada was offered reciprocity that she voted it down? |
18032 | Is it common sense to think the population of a few thousands can hunt out a fur empire here the size of two Germanies? |
18032 | Is it more than skin deep? |
18032 | Is it more than white teeth and pigments of the skin? |
18032 | Is the Canadian a Socialist, or an Individualist? |
18032 | It does n''t sound as if such regions would ever be overrun by settlement-- does it? |
18032 | It''s what the system of government stands for, that rouses support-- not this, that, or the other man--""But what does it stand for?" |
18032 | No matter what the cost, can Canada afford to lose them from her young nationals? |
18032 | Now, then, where does Panama come into this story? |
18032 | On the east for three thousand miles washes the Atlantic, on the west for five thousand miles the Pacific-- what has Canada to fear? |
18032 | She has the John Bull trick of drawing herself up to every new proposal with an air of"What is that to us?" |
18032 | Should Suez ever cut off the path to India and Australia, what colony could feed England but Canada? |
18032 | So why should Canada become excited over national defense? |
18032 | Sounds hard; does n''t it, in the face of almost universal nostrums for the salvation and propagation of the useless? |
18032 | The Canadian may say this theoretically, but is he strengthened in body and made greater in soul by the mystic splendors of his country? |
18032 | The Hindus are adapted to the cultivation of the soil, but if they come in millions, will any white race sit down beside them? |
18032 | The poll tax was put on every Chinaman coming into Canada, but do you think John Chinaman pays it? |
18032 | The question is sometimes asked by Americans: Why does Canada concern herself about foreign problems and dangers? |
18032 | The same of the British Columbia shingle industry, of copper ores, of wheat and flour products? |
18032 | The_ why_ and_ how_ of confederation is easy to understand, but what tie binds Canada to the Mother Country? |
18032 | Then, what part does religion play? |
18032 | They had heard of McKinley and of Mark Hanna, but who and what were Cobden and Bright? |
18032 | To be sure, if you ask a fur- trader,"How are furs?" |
18032 | To what end? |
18032 | To- day, what? |
18032 | Uncle Sam has been Canada''s big brother, but what if when the danger came, his arms were tied in a conflict of his own? |
18032 | V Well-- what is Canada going to do about it? |
18032 | V What is the future portent of the great migration of Englishmen of the best blood and traditions to Canada? |
18032 | Was Canada''s progress as swift after 1867 as it ought to have been? |
18032 | Was he right? |
18032 | Was it Destiny or Providence? |
18032 | Was it not more natural to trade with neighbors a handshake across the way than with strange nations across the ocean? |
18032 | We talk mistily of Cause and Effect, but who drops the Cause that turns the Wheel? |
18032 | We talk of Canada''s boom as"done,"but has it even begun? |
18032 | What additional fortifications or defenses has Canada to be so cocksure that history can never repeat itself? |
18032 | What are the signs of Canada''s springs? |
18032 | What are their aims and desires as a people? |
18032 | What did he mean when he declared"that the native of India is not a person suited to this country"? |
18032 | What did we do? |
18032 | What does exist? |
18032 | What does this mean? |
18032 | What else exists? |
18032 | What exists in it? |
18032 | What facts is Canada building her future on? |
18032 | What for? |
18032 | What gives Galveston, New Orleans, Baltimore, Buffalo preeminence as harbors? |
18032 | What ground has Canada for measuring her strength with the nations of the world? |
18032 | What had Canada to offer from 1893 to 1900 that the United States had not within her own borders? |
