It was. as ho himself sniil. , . ...... a resume of his message, an appeal to imperialism of the higher tvpe. Ik- said in part: '"There is one remark I have often heard from Canadians, not from Eng-li-hmen, and that is that the public life in Canada is unattractive because there are no big i-siies. That seems to me to be an extraordinary point of view. Xo big i-suesl The next years arc going to determine whether Canada will remain a part of the Brit-i-h Empire. "The decision of that question rests with Canadians alone. Xo external compulsion could be, certainly none ever would be exercised to inlluence it. It rests with them alone the decision of that question, and with that ciues- tion perhaps the decision of the fate of the empire as a whole. Even in its badly organized condition the empire is the greatest political entity in the world; properly organized, it would be the greatest power. "It lies with all parts of the empire, and especially with the people of the younger dominions to decide whether it shall be capable of discharging its great mi-sion in the world."

Polk Miller of Virginia, famed as one of the foremost entertainers on the Am erican stage, will come to Columbia next Monday evening with his quartet of negro singers from the tobacco fac tories of Richmond. Mr. Miller's recitations and sketches are full of touches which mark his familiarity with the southern negro. and the quartet he has selected to ac company him is composed, not of min strels in dress shirts ami oronmn clothes, tbttt of four real '-darkeys," with melodious untrained voices, who sing as the negroes of the south sang. The value of the entertainment, accord ing to those who have witnes-ed it, lies in its naturalness and truth to south ern life. The announcement that Mr. Miller would come to Columbia was made today as follows: Of Sociological Value. 'Mr. Polk Miller, of Richmond, Va.. has consented to stop over in Columbia on his way to Kansas City where he is to give an entertainment before the Commercial Club. Mr. Miller is a gen tleman of rare gifts, perhaps the most perfect master of negro dialect living, and his character sketches of the old time Virginia darky, besides affordins a unique and enjoyable entertainment, will be of special interest to the stu dents of language as well as to the stu dents of sociology. Where he is known, he is sure to draw a large house. A the University of Virginia last week he had an audience of over 2,000. As he is a stranger to many Columbians we take pleasure in vouching for him and promise to all who are fortunate enough to hear him a delightful even ing's entertainment. The University Auditorium will doubtless be full to overflowing. To vary the program he brings with him his quartet of necro singers not negro minstrels." Signed R. H. JESSE, E. A. ALLEN, W. G.
