While agriculturally a distinct asset (o the country, they have persisted from the first in following their own peculiar manners and customs, which are not ours, Ivilh all the dogged persistence characteristic of those who wring n living out of the soil. They were aiSigbple Apart in the liincl of.their origin, and a people apart they are determined to remain here, with the result that their balance on the books of Canada is distinctly on the debit side. For all practical purposes, our Anglo-Celtic civilization, which includes that of the United States, has, been built up on the jury system and an inherent irespect for law and order, they represent centuries of gradual growth, our ancient fore- fathers having neither. Consequently, when we import strang er ra.c.es with entirely different ideas and, customs or who are cenUities behind us in the matter of social development, the law is largely rendered null and void. . . .
