6495And the remedy proposed in the memorial?
6495And to whom was the business of buying, equipping and supervising them intrusted?
6495And upon what evidence?
6495And what became of these millions in loot?
6495And what had the Credit Mobilier Company charged?
6495And what was Vanderbilt''s share of the$ 44,000,000?
6495And who were the legistators bribed?
6495And who, it may be curiously asked, were the classes self destined or self selected to do this regenerating?
6495As a young man what did Jay Gould see?
6495But how was the work of destruction to be done?
6495But how was this wealth to be obtained?
6495But what became of the charges against Vanderbilt?
6495But who did the work of contracting and building, and who determined what the cost was?
6495But who specifically did the bribing?
6495Collamer.--The Collins line was set up by special contract?
6495Could the mechanic or farmer demand a better law?
6495Did Roberts sell or chatter any other boats to the Government?
6495Did it not hold out the opportunity to the poorest to get land for which payment could be gradually made?
6495Did the Government make any move to arrest, indict and imprison Vanderbilt and his tools?
6495Did the courts punish these men for criminal contempt?
6495Did they foot this bill out of their own pockets?
6495For how much?
6495Had not Vanderbilt and other capitalists often bought up Congress and Legislatures and common councils?
6495He controlled a sufficient number of judges; why should not they buy up the Legislature, as he had often done?
6495His ambition was consummated; what mattered it to him that his fortune was begot in blackmail and extortion, bribery and theft?
6495How did Vanderbilt manage to extort millions of dollars?
6495How was this alarming exigency to be met?
6495If the process was so marked in 1900 what must it be now?
6495Is the coffee at all merchantable?
6495Meanwhile, how was the great farming class faring?
6495Since Government was actually, although not avowedly or apparently, a property regime, what was the condition of the millions of non- propertied?
6495Since they could no longer use their ships or make profit on ocean routes why not palm off their vessels upon the Government?
6495They had been used to stifle many another protest of the workers; why not this?
6495To whom did the Government turn in this exigency?
6495Verily, what of the great hosts of toilers who have done their work and shuffled off to oblivion?
6495WHY THIS BIASED VIEW OF GOULD''S CAREER?
6495Was ever a finer, a more glorious chance presented?
6495Were they true or calumniatory?
6495What did Gould''s plunder amount to?
6495What did he do with this sum?
6495What did the Vanderbilts and their allies now do?
6495What had the company done with its large land grant?
6495What if helpless people are swept off by starvation or by diseases superinduced by lack of proper food?
6495What if they did suffer and perish?
6495What if this property had been bought, laid out and graded by the city at considerable expense?
6495What if$ 50,000,000 had been stolen?
6495What was it?
6495What was the result of all this investigation?
6495What were the aspirations of the working class which it was to uplift?
6495What were the consequences to this large body of the seizure by a few of the greater part of the public domain?
6495What were their aspirations, difficulties, movements and struggles?
6495What, however, of the workers in the mines?
6495What, may we ask, were these men snarling, cursing and fighting over?
6495Whence came it to this curious repository?
6495Where lay the trouble?
6495Where were you?"
6495While the combination was high- handedly forcing the consumer to pay enormous prices, how was it acting toward them?
6495Who could deny that the phalanx of capitalists scrambling forward to share in this carnival of plunder were not gifted with unerring judgment?
6495Who did not know that he had bribed Legislature after Legislature, and had constantly resorted to conspiracy and fraud?
6495Who would inherit his aggregation of wealth?
6495Whom did he appoint as the supreme official in charge of railroad transportation?
6495Why be satisfied with one portion, when the whole was within reach?
6495Why continue to act as middlemen in transporting the coal?
6495Why not consolidate the two roads?
6495Why not now do the same?
6495Why 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?
6495Why, indeed, should they not have their gilded palaces?
6495Why, then, should we continue to waste the public money?"
6495Yet, 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?

26935Can it be wrong to gather all that we wish of the beautiful flowers with which the earth is carpeted?
26935Can you guess what it is?
26935Can you think of any rivers that are used in this way?
26935Conservation or devastation-- which shall it be?
26935Could 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?
26935Did these early people live entirely upon meat?
26935Did you ever think how long a time it has taken to make the rocks and store away in them gold, silver, copper, and iron?
26935Do you ne''er think what wondrous beings these?
26935Do you ne''er think who made them, and who taught The dialect they speak, where melodies Alone are the interpreters of thought?
26935Do 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?
26935Do 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?
26935Do you not think we are wise in seeking how to take better care of this land of ours?
26935Does it not seem strange that where little rain falls the earth washes a great deal faster than where it rains very heavily?
26935HOW FAR WILL NATURE RESTORE HER WASTED GIFTS?
26935Has not Nature grown them in her great garden in such abundance that all we pick will make no difference to her?
26935Have you ever been in a dust storm or have you read of caravans caught in such storms in the Sahara Desert?

26935If we cut them down, will they ever come back?
26935In time may not the love of the forest wilds come back to us all?
26935Is it any wonder that the egrets are nearly extinct as a result of this merciless slaughter?
26935Is it any wonder that the herring is now decreasing in numbers?
26935Is it not interesting to know that we plant young oysters on oyster farms, and raise oyster crops, all below the level of high tide?
26935Is it not strange that what is good for one tree is an enemy of another?
26935Is it true, however, that all the vast waters of the ocean are full of fish, or are they found only in certain parts?
26935Is not the good that we do far greater than the harm?
26935It 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?
26935May 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?
26935May not the time come when we may hear the grouse drumming its call and not feel the desire to kill and eat it?
26935Of what is this gorgeous thing made?
26935Rising above all other sounds, as the morning advances, are the cheery calls of the quail who seems to say:"Where are you?
26935Shall we cause our remote descendants to suffer for our carelessness?
26935Shall we not now seek to learn which of the natural resources of our land will never be replaced if we squander them?
26935Should we not take just as much pleasure in gathering the flowers if we did not bring home more than we needed?
26935Thus the people freed themselves from the birds, but what was the harvest that they reaped?

26935Why does the rain, which once made this country fruitful, now wash away the soil and make it barren?

43211At the time they worked those long hours, would it have been in their power to work a shorter number of hours, taking the 3s.?
43211At what time did it come on?
43211At what time in the morning, in the brisk time, did those girls go to the mills?

43211By what means do you understand those vends have been limited?
43211Could you dispose of their wages, when they had received them, as you wished: did you understand that?
43211Did this excessive term of labour occasion much cruelty also?
43211Did you also learn to buy your own wool?
43211Different sorts of wool are applicable to different dyes and different manufactures?
43211Do you instruct this apprentice in the different branches of the trade?
43211Do you think it would amount to two- thirds?
43211Does it not require great skill to dye according to pattern, even when you have bought wool?
43211Does that branch require great skill?
43211Does that length of standing and of exertion tend to deform the limbs of the children so employed?

43211For how long together was it?

43598If 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?
43598If not, what do we propose that Germany shall give?
43598If so, whose?
43598If the psychology of Nationalism renders so simple a problem insoluble, what will be its effect upon the problem of Europe as a whole?
43598If the resultant hostilities can operate as between two national groups like the British and the American, what groups can be free of them?
43598Indeed, has not the experience of the War discredited much of the theory of the interdependence of nations?
43598Into Russia?
43598Into which danger have we run as a matter of simple fact?
43598Is America alone in this change of feeling about the small State?
43598Is it not indeed what one of their writers had called a''holy hate,''instinctive, intuitive, purged of all calculation of advantage or disadvantage?
43598Is it physical force which prevents it?
43598Is it that they never were our real aims at all, or that war has wrought a change in our nature with reference to them?
43598Is the policy which our power supported before the War-- and still supports-- compatible with it?
43598Is the political struggle for territory a struggle for bread?
43598Is this collection of mushroom republics to possess a stability to which the Entente could not attain?
43598Milk?
43598More force-- more revolvers and bowie knives?
43598Now let us see what this writer has to say as to the German power to- day?
43598Or if not these, what others?
43598Or shall we go forward to a recognised international economic system, in which the small States will have their rights secured by a definite code?
43598Or that he could never find himself in similar circumstances?
43598Ought any nation to have such a right?
43598Paper marks increased in quantity until they reach just the value of the paper they are printed on?
43598Put this question to yourself, patriot Englishmen:"Was the sinking of the_ Lusitania_ as cruel, as prolonged, as mean, as merciless a death as this?"
43598Shall we not have destroyed this Prussian philosophy of frightfulness, force, and hate?
43598Shall we not have proved to the world that a State without military power can trust to the good faith and humanity of its neighbours?
43598Shall 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?
43598Sheer original sin, apart from political or economic circumstance?
43598Should we get even eighty per cent, of the pre- war output or anything like it?
43598Should 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?
43598Should we make a naval alliance, with Great Britain, or form a new League of Nations, or denounce Article X, or...?"
43598Starve?
43598Starve?
43598Suppose, then, we put the question''Can German Foreign Trade be increased?''
43598The Inherent Superiority of the Anglo- Saxon Stock?
43598Then why is she bankrupt?
43598To deny the existence of the German or other aggressiveness?
43598To what do the facts as a whole really point?''
43598Was it necessary thus to''organise''hate for the purposes of war?
43598Was this the instrument for the conquest of half a world?
43598We shall get nearer to the heart of our problem if, instead of asking perpetually''_ Who_ caused the War?''
43598Well, suppose it did?
43598Well, will the reader note that_ the above does not refer to Germany at all, but to Russia_?
43598Were we not as a matter of fact fighting-- and dying-- for something else?
43598What are the facts supporting the foregoing proposition?
43598What are the motives which each State thus fears its neighbours may obey?
43598What are the post- war facts in this connection?

43598What is your plan?
43598What made her more aggressive than other nations, than those who later became our Allies-- Russia, Rumania, Italy, Japan, France?
43598What of all fanatics ready to die for their idealism?
43598What of the Holy Wars?
43598What of the Prussian who, after all, had his ideal, as the Bolshevist has his?
43598What ought we to do?
43598What picture is summoned to our minds by the word''economics''in relation to war?
43598What purpose?
43598What results?
43598What should we have thought of a Southerner of the old Slave States fulminating against the crime of slavery?
43598What then is the reason why these millions starve in the midst of potential plenty?
43598What then?
43598What type of nature can develop in such conditions?
43598What was that policy?
43598What was the explanation?
43598What was the political belief and the attitude towards life which_ The Great Illusion_ challenged?
43598What will you pay for it, in terms of national sovereignty?
43598What, in fact,_ is_ the price that is asked of us?
43598What, outlined as briefly as possible, was its central argument?
43598When the''high- brows''are all at sixes and sevens, what is a man to think?
43598Where has the War, and the complex of desires it developed, left our moral values?
43598Where is the economic advantage of the military method?

43598Which tendency is it that is acting as the present disruptive force in Europe?
43598Who is to use the force if no one man can agree with the other?
43598Why are we Balkanised rather than Federalised?
43598Why are we so callous?
43598Why are we so heedless?
43598Why do Balkan and other border States fight fiercely over this coalfield or that harbour?
43598Why does America now wash her hands of the whole muddle in Europe?
43598Why does France keep three- fourths of a Continent still in ferment, making reparations more and more remote"?
43598Why does France still oppose trade with Russia, and plot for the control of an enlarged Poland or a reactionary Hungary?
43598Why is this?
43598Why should the desire of one people to rule itself, to be free, be thwarted by another making exactly the same demands?
43598Why should we expect that the result should be greatly different upon American opinion?
43598Why was none taken?
43598Why was that policy not carried out?
43598Why?
43598Why?
43598Will he not have made Peace-- permanent Peace?
43598Would her need for expansion become less?
43598Would successful war by us remove the economic and political causes which were part at least of the explanation of German aggression?
43598Would that co- operation, giving security to others, demand the sacrifice of the interest or welfare of their own people?
43598Would we keep out of the War if Germany refrained from crossing the Belgian frontier?
43598You 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?
18032Build a navy?
18032But why not let them come out here and work and go back?
18032Can he write?
18032Canada should have her own shipyards?

18032Why?
18032Why_ should_ we want Imperial Federation?
18032Would they cut his throat?
18032Again-- why not?
18032Americans say of opportunity--"How much can we make of it?"
18032And Japan asks-- why not?
18032And again Japan asks-- why not?
18032And 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?
18032And if it has, wo n''t it be to hurt our railroads?
18032And if it were to the advantage of a hostile power to cripple Canada, could she be conquered?
18032And"the last chapter of the fur romance has been written"?
18032Anything like it?
18032Are they a stench to Heaven as the Hindu''s?
18032Are we not sprung from the same Aryan stock?
18032Besides, the minute Canada voluntarily enters a European war, does she forfeit American"protection"under that Monroe Doctrine?
18032But can it be said that the institution of child marriage is an unknown or even a rare crime in India?
18032But is n''t all this stretching one''s fancy a bit too far in the future?
18032But the point is-- why was it these million and a half Canadians found better opportunities in the United States than in Canada?
18032But where to?
18032CHAPTER IX THE HINDU I Is it, then, that Canada fears the growth of Japan as a great world power?
18032Can Canada as a foster mother redeem such as these?
18032Can Canada keep a fair field and no favors?
18032Can one conceive for one minute of the Imperial government refusing to amend the British North American Act?
18032Can you see the white men''s eyes pop out of their heads with astonishment?
18032Canada is saying, with a little note of belligerency in her voice-- What''s Panama to us?
18032Canada was a federation, but a federation of what?
18032Canadians do not ask--"_Who_ are you?"
18032Canadians say--"How little can we pay for it?"
18032Could Hindus who landed in British Columbia destitute a few years ago possibly have that amount of money among them?

18032Do you know your rail traffic has jumped from 36,000,000 tons in 1900 to 90,000,000 tons in 1912?
18032Do you know-- they asked-- that you have five times more traffic-- seventy- two million tons-- going through your canals than is expected for Panama?
18032Do you realize-- they asked-- that your three grain provinces alone are three times the area of the German Empire?

18032Does Canada want such a shadow?
18032Does Canada want that system embodied in her national life?
18032Does any other factor enter deeply in Canadians''every- day living?
18032Does he believe that each man should stand upon his own feet or lean upon a state crutch?
18032Does it sound very much to you like a region where the settler would ultimately drive out the fur trade?
18032Does not England colonize; does not Germany colonize; does not France colonize?
18032Does the habit react on public life?
18032For what else have a million and a half British born come to the free homesteads of Canada?
18032Forward whither-- do you ask of Canada?
18032Had n''t Canada, a country of seven million population, a railroad system of 29,000 miles?
18032Had n''t the Dominion spent$ 138,000,000 on canals heading traffic to the St. Lawrence?

18032How would Canada abolish the child wife system if Hindu votes outnumbered Canadian votes?
18032How?
18032I asked,"Have those little sticks drifted down fifteen hundred miles to this lagoon of dead water?"
18032II And now, what is Canada doing?
18032II What are the facts?
18032II What, then, is the tie that binds colony to Mother Country?
18032III The question may be asked, do not these large figures presage the hunting to extinction of fur- bearing animals?
18032III What part does religion play in Canada?

18032IV What of the road itself?
18032If Americans have entered so powerfully into Canadian industrial life, why was reciprocity rejected?

18032If Suez were cut off and Canada were cut off, where would England look for her food supply?
18032If forgery did not matter, why should perjury?
18032If it is good for the Canadian producer to buy in the cheapest market and to sell in the highest, why was reciprocity rejected?
18032If 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?
18032If there is a grain blockade now, what will there be when you cultivate 100,000,000 acres?
18032If two currents meet and do not blend, what?
18032In a word, has the Canadian found himself?
18032Is he beer- drinking, lethargic, dreamy and flabby in will power; or is he whisky- drinking, fiery, practical and pugnacious?
18032Is it a matter of money, at all; or of appreciative intelligence?
18032Is it a menace or a portent?
18032Is it a shadow, or a substance?
18032Is it any wonder, when the fourth time came and Canada was offered reciprocity that she voted it down?
18032Is it common sense to think the population of a few thousands can hunt out a fur empire here the size of two Germanies?
18032Is it more than skin deep?
18032Is it more than white teeth and pigments of the skin?
18032Is the Canadian a Socialist, or an Individualist?
18032It does n''t sound as if such regions would ever be overrun by settlement-- does it?
18032It''s what the system of government stands for, that rouses support-- not this, that, or the other man--""But what does it stand for?"
18032No matter what the cost, can Canada afford to lose them from her young nationals?
18032Now, then, where does Panama come into this story?
18032On the east for three thousand miles washes the Atlantic, on the west for five thousand miles the Pacific-- what has Canada to fear?
18032She has the John Bull trick of drawing herself up to every new proposal with an air of"What is that to us?"
18032Should Suez ever cut off the path to India and Australia, what colony could feed England but Canada?
18032So why should Canada become excited over national defense?
18032Sounds hard; does n''t it, in the face of almost universal nostrums for the salvation and propagation of the useless?
18032The Canadian may say this theoretically, but is he strengthened in body and made greater in soul by the mystic splendors of his country?
18032The Hindus are adapted to the cultivation of the soil, but if they come in millions, will any white race sit down beside them?
18032The poll tax was put on every Chinaman coming into Canada, but do you think John Chinaman pays it?
18032The question is sometimes asked by Americans: Why does Canada concern herself about foreign problems and dangers?
18032The same of the British Columbia shingle industry, of copper ores, of wheat and flour products?

18032Then, what part does religion play?
18032They had heard of McKinley and of Mark Hanna, but who and what were Cobden and Bright?

18032To- day, what?
18032Uncle Sam has been Canada''s big brother, but what if when the danger came, his arms were tied in a conflict of his own?

18032Was he right?
18032Was it Destiny or Providence?
18032Was it not more natural to trade with neighbors a handshake across the way than with strange nations across the ocean?
18032We talk mistily of Cause and Effect, but who drops the Cause that turns the Wheel?

18032What if such a tide of German immigration came to Canada?
18032What if the railroads did not carry the crop two thousand four hundred miles to seaboard in order to ship forward to Liverpool?
18032What if they carried some of the big crops only six hundred miles west to sea- board on the Pacific?
18032What is it?
18032What is the rock bottom spring?
18032What is the tie that binds?
18032What kind of a lesson?
18032What manner of being is the Canadian woman, his partner?
