Canada May Annex Us.

Senator Hale has little doubt that Canada will be annexed by the United States before this generation passes away. It is more likely, says the To ronto Mail and Empire, that the balance of power on this continent will have passed to Canada before Senator Hale is a hundred years older. Uncle Sam will then cease to be the Monroe doc tor.

Delivers Early Morning Address to
Residents of EIkO.
ELKO, New, Oct. 6.-At Elko early
this morning Senator Fairbanks made
his first speech of the day and the
only speech he will make until he
reaches ogden, where he will speak
tonight. He spoke from the rear
platform of the "Edgemere" and, early
as was the hour. had large audience.
Senator Fairbanks addressed him
self largely to Democrats, contending
that Republican policies are better
calculated than Democratic policies to
protect their interests. Speaking to
the wool growers, many of whom re-
side in this community, he asked them
if they were not more prosperous un-
der the present tariff law than they
had been under the Wilson-Gorman
law, by which wool had been put on
the free list Some one in the crowd
responded in the affirmative.
The Senator spoke also of President
Roosevelt, declaring that not since the
time of Washington had there been
President who had better administered
the affairs of the country than had Mr..
Roosevelt.
Senator Smoot of Utah, who had
come aboard the train at this point,
also spoke a few words before the
train pulled out as did Senator Full
ton. 'All the speakers were loudly ap-
plauded and three tremendous cheers
for Roosevelt and Fairbanks and the
Republican ticket were given as the
train moved away.

URGES SIGNING
OF PETITIONS
Education Board Begins Pro
ceedingS to Have Charter
Amendments Submitted
SCHOOLS ARE AFFECTED
Wants Propositions Voted
Upon at Special Election
to Be Held Next December

The Board of Education yesterday
began the circulation of petitions to be
filed with the Board Of Supervisors
asking that certain amendments to the
charter affecting the administration of
the public School Department be sub
mitted to a vote of the people. 1t is the
intention of the board to obtain, if pos
sible, the signatures of at least Is per
cent of the qualified electors, as re-
quired by the charter for the submis-
sion of any amendment to the organic
law of the city.
The Board of Supervisors has already
sent a score of proposed charter amend
ments to the Election Commission TO
be placed on the official ballot at the
election to be held on NOvem-
Der next. President Romeo
vieri Of the Board of Educa-
ton takes the ground that charter
amendments shall only be submitted at
intervals of not less than every two
years. The last time charter amend
ments were voted upon was on Decem-
Der 4, 1902, and Roncovieri contends
that the election this year for the pur-
pose should be held on December T. If
his contention is correct there is still
ample time for the Board Of Supervis-
ors to take action If it so desires.
The proposed school amendment con-
templates making the Board of Educa-
tion independent of the Board of Su-
pervisors in the fixing Of the annual
school budget. 1t places the power of
fixing the expenditures within a speci-
fed limit in the hands of the School
Directors, and any item not approved
by the Board of Supervisors must be
designated. The amendment also pro-
vides for a small tax for the payment
of teachers annuities, and makes other
radical changes in the manner of con-
Quoting School Department affairs.
The Board Of Education at yester-
days meeting granted the request of
the Alliance Franchise to use the James
Lick Grammar School building after
school hours for the purpose Of impart-
ing gratuitous instruction in the French
language.
