Our Souvenir Edition
ations is vividly illustrated in the Votes and Proceedings for Thursday last when the decks were being cleared. No fewer than fiftyprinted pages of estimates-—appropriations for expendi- _tures totalling more than $Ioo,ooo,ooo —were passed as quickly as the chairman of the com- mittee could read the number of the items. One Toronto member complained that he could not turn the pages fast enough. Otherwise there was no protest. The taxpayers may well wonder if the members would have been as reckless with their own money. .
“How the absent members can justify fail- ure to be on hand when the most important mea-‘ sures were being passed we do not know. They are paid $4,000 a year to attend to the business of the nation. For some of them this is modest

The Guardian takes pleasure .in presenting to-‘ . day a special souvenir edition of the forthcoming I{o_\'.'il Visit and Confederation anniversary celebration. The two events are separated by only a few weeks, and it is fitting that they should be thus Closely associated. Allegiance to the Crown is an inseparable part of our duty as‘ Canadian citizens. Perhaps the most important result of the present Royal Visit has bring the Provinces of Canada closer in spirit and understlinding, not only to, the .\Ionarchy and the .\lotherl:lnd, but to themselves. The spirit of disruption and disunity. feared by many as a portt-nt ominously evident in recent years, has vanished like mist before the morn- ing sun \with the enthusiasm engendered by the presence of Their Gracious Majesties. They have captivated (.'anadian hearts by their love- ablc personalities, by their kindliness and sim- plicity, their unfailing courtesy and genuine in- terest in everything that concerns our welfare nationally and individually. They have made us realize how strong are the tics of sentiment and interest that bind us together, how insignificant our petty differences.
There is, therefore, no more fittinig occasion for a Guardian souvenir edition. It is hoped this issue will prove both of interest and value to
. our readers at home and abroad, when all thoughts are being turned towards the subject matter it contains.
\’\’e desire to express warmest appreciation to our advertisers and public-spirited busi- ness and professional men who lent their val- uable assistance in making this issue a success.
Copies of this special number are being sent to the Archives department at Ottawa and also to London, so that they will be on file for record for all time to come of two unique events in the history of our Province.
Why Not The Balcony‘?
ft is not yet too late to have the public ad- dresses and presentations to Their Majesties on June 14 talre place where the public can witness the spectacle, namely on the balcony of the Provincial Building and not in the cloistered quarters of the Confederation Chamber. The change, as pointed out yesterday, involves would certainly be more appreciated by the King and Queen, who have shown a desire to mingle with their people on every occasion. '
\\"hat are the reasons against this proposal? ‘Ne have heard none, and are loath to accept the
' {psi din‘! of officialdom that the present ar- rangements cannot be altered. Since it is so ob- viously unsatisfactory it can and should be altered A direct phone call to Ottawa should settle the matter in five minutes.
Their Majesties, we repeat, are coming here to see and be seen by their loyal subjects, of whom there will be thousands around the
just as
will have access to the Confederation Chamber.
In this connection an incident will be recalled with regard to the visit here some years ago of Earl Baldwin, then plain Stanley Baldwin, Prime Minister of Great Britain. The powers- tliat he at that time arranged for a reception and speech in the (Tonfedc-ration Chamber and sub- sequently an address from the balcony to the

the final week when it reaches its peak it would seem that a hundred or more members could be dispensed with."
It is ufifair, the Toronto paper suggests, to ask the Senate to “jam legislation through in the last minutes of the session after months have been wasted in the lower House. The Commons frittered away the months of Janu-
stsrt work until after Easter. For this shocking waste of time the fault must be laid on the Government, which was not ready with its leg‘ islation. Such is our Parliament."
Royal Meinorials
Reference has been made in the press to an interesting menvrial of the visit here in 1860 of the late King lidward VII, then Prince of \\'ales. It is a lime tree planted by the Prince on the lawn of Glenwood farm, East Royalty. It is in a flourishing condition and will doubtless remain so for many years to come. \Vhile strict adherence to schedule prevents a visit to this historic tree by Their Majesties on this occasion, yet it is hoped it will be called to their atten- tion.
It might not be a bad idea to make an im- promptu arbour day of June 14 to mark In similar manner the historic visit of King George and Queen Elizabeth to. Charlottetown. The planting could be done by land~owners them- selves of a tree shrub or rosebush which would add to the attractiveness of their property and serve to recall, in later years, this memorable
event.

Some controversy has arisen over the proper reverse motto for the arches through which Their Majesties will pass en route to the Marine \Vharf. The authorities ought to know there is but one language to express it—that used in the Garden of Eden: Failfc is dcmmachd leibb——- “Hail and farewell (blessings go with you.)" .

Thousands of oysters are flown from Sydney to Singapore every \veck. They are packed in special crates in which they can be kept alive for two or three weeks if necessary. These crates are the successful outcome of many ex- periments. and prove that oysters can be carried the 4,600 miles journey from Sydney to Singa- pore and arrive in a condition almost unchange- cd from that in which they left Australia.

Rem:-mber—Thcir Majesties visit is for two primary objects in the upholding and mainten- ance of constitutional monarchy in a con- stitutional democracy; and the cementing of friendship between English-speaking races. To accomplish this publicity is essential; hence the respect and attention which on all and every oc- casion has been extended by the authorities to the gentlemen of the Press.

it is trite to say that fools and children should never see things half-finished, buts notwith- standing ladies are commenting adversely on the scheme and extent of the city decorations. They do not think the arches are appropriate or in any way different from the thousands through which Their Majesties have passed since land- ing in America. Why not, they ask, have had spruce arches, imitations of the big and little trees constituting the Province's Arms? , This would have been different, and left a distinctive impression on the minds of the King and Queen‘. The whole trouble they claim, is that there was no ',‘head" to the royal visit organization.-The first thing ‘to have been done, they say, was the appointment of an architect. with some idea of.

It is reported that Britain's Post- master-Genersl recently rejected a proposal that he ‘should issue decorated envelopes for “epistolary greetings."
