favor of the policy Of protection. He
declared that the question came down
to a contest between the necessity Of

protect her industries until she can

political respects she is still a baby"
The meeting hereupon resolved itself
into a debate between the free traders

Naysmith's Design for the Statue
Proper Most Pavored-Bnthu-
siasm at Fever Heat.

The celebration of the Queens jubilee in
this City is now thing of the past, ard
the thoughts of British subjects are turned
from Greek fire and other Things pleasing
to the senses to those of the mind-to
sentiment. Specifically they go back and
revolve round that great stellar propo-
sition-the idea of monument for Gale
donia's bard, bonnie Bobbie Burns.
Now the work will be taken up with re-
newed vigor and great results may be ex-
peeted in the near future-results that
point definitely to the contamination of
one grand and laudable desire, that a
monument to the poet who best spoke for
the common people shall be washed by
the ozone of the Pacific. Already has
the sum of $1,000 been turned over by the
Called oman Club to John F. Kennedy. the
chairman of the finance committee. who
is also helping out in taking subscrip-
tions.
The general committee is now fully or
ganized, consisting of forty men of prom
inence in the different cities round the
bay, but pr incipaliy from San Francisco.
Colin NJ. Boyd has been elected president
and Y. c. Lawson secretary. The general
com mittee had its inception in a small
committee from the Caledonian Club. with
powers to add to its mum bers, and the
work has been done well. In the words of
one of the original number, they are men
who ARE able to see that the monument
Is built all right"
Another meeting is soon to be held. the
first meeting of the general COMMITTEES
since 1t has been perfected. At that time
permanent organization will be effected
and standing executive committee will
be selected. The principal thing TO be
considered, however, will be the adoption
OF ways and means to raise Iunds with
which to build the monument
Many of the mem bers have talked the
matter over in private, and when the
com mlttee meets the method of procedure
In this connection will have been pretty
well decided on beforehand. There is no
doubt that an attempt will be made to
have committees formed in all the Drin-
clpal cities and towns of the State to enter
upon the project harmonIously with the
general central body.
Bat by far the most important move
taken will be to make the preliminary
steps necessary for no ding big festival

tion is that it shall last a week, with a

Then Attorney J. n. E. Wilson, one of

wanted to know all about what the de-
fendant had been doing from To- CLOCK un-

were hired, and Judge Murphy objected on
the ground that it was not proper cross

Ex-Judge Robert Ferral, who is asso-

There is no doubt in the mind. of the
individual members that this idea will be
carried out to success and that a large

Several designs for a monument have
been received by the committee and all
have been given due consideration. The

The Christian Endeavor com mittee had
entered into verbal contract with the

mitlee would also use these seats, the
committee refused to place them until the
D b, as per previous written contract, un-
less the Fourth of July COMMITTEES would
pay them $50 cash for their use.
A resolution was then carried to the
effect that the previous action of the COM
mittce in authorizing the literary COM
mittee TO hold the exercises in Mechanics
Pavilion be rescinded, and that the Metro
politan Temple be engaged at $40 tor the
literary programme.
The following resolution was then car
