.sThe Comparative Constitutional Law OF
Canada and the United States
In mentioning the fact that the United

Mr. Mills said:
You have entered Upon the work be-

high calling have taken ap the white
mans burden and I am sure that ths
feeling Of every Canadian Is that this new

great value TO yourselves and OF price,
less advantage To the world
Speaking OF our relations with canada.
Mr.. Mills said:
''The imperial government and Canada
have always been anxious for more SYM
pathetic relations with the United States
but for some reason this feeling has NOT
always hxen reciprocated. When you ex-

DEMOCRATS MILL CAUCUS.
MEETING or COXGnESsNEy CALL
ED FOR NEXT FRIDAY.
the Party with Respect le Per-
naaent Acsafsition 81 Phalip-
pines-The Resoluaion Drafted.

WASHINGTON. Feb. "a caucus OF
the Democratic members OF the house
has been called for 8 o'clock next Friday
evening for consideration OF the attitude
of the party on the Philippines The call
was issued today by Richardson of Ten
nessee. chairman Of the caucus commit
tee. who had received a request signed
by forty members requesting a caucus. A
plan of action has already been outlined,
and Il In expected that resolution will
be adopted against the permanent acquisi-
ton Of the Philippines A resolution to
this effect has been drafted by the Dem
ocratic members on the committee on for
eign affairs. following the lines of the Ba-
con resolution adopted IA; the caucus and
thereafter 1t is expected to get the reso-
luton before the house.
Among those active in securing the cali
were Dinsmore Of Arkansas. Howard OF
Georgia and Ball Of Texas
Dinsmore says the essential feature OF
the movement Is to secure a definite dec
iaration OF the attitude OF the party
against permanent holcnAg OF the Philip
pines.
Howard stated that the step had been
taken mainly because the McEaery resolu-
tion passed In the senate had been ignored
by the committee on foreign affairs No
meeting OF the committee had been called
since the .McEnery resolution was re-
ceiyed. so il was manifest that the house
was not to be permitted to vote on such
declaration He and his Democratic
associates OF the committee had therefore
framed a resolution much similar 10 that
of Senator Bacon which would be offered
Ia the caucus II this. or = like resolu-.
tion. were adopted Howard said. 1t would
be presented to the house and an effort
made to have the speaker grant an or-
portunity for it's consideration lin any
event. Ii would define the position Of the
Democrats in the house.
II is stated by number OF Democrats
that the movement does not arise from
the recent visit OF Mr.. Bryan. although
IL is said the resolutions viii express SEN
t!ments similar TO those Of Mr. Bryan
at the recent Washington's birthday BAN
quet here.
Several Democratic members feel that
it would he appropriate To consider how
far the financial question is to remain the
paramount issue or is to become second
