A New Feature Of Canadian Reel
procity.

A correspondent of the Chicago Tri-
bune who has been writing a series
of letters from Canada on the politi-
cal situation in the Dominion, and
Canadian trade relations with the
United States, has developed an inter
esting phase of the reciprocity ques-
ton. He expects the conservatives,
when they propose Chamberlainism,
imperial unity and strong preferences
for English trade, to be met by the
liberals with the idea of reciprocity,
continental trade unity, Canadian COM
mercial independence, etc. III
He thinks, however, that Iaurier,
the liberal leader, will find his sup
porters in Quebec out Of sympathy
with the continental trade idea be-
cause they will fear as an outgrowth
of that relation national unity, alb
sorption of Canada by the United
States. . !. - IS. 4
That they do not want for peculiar
reasons. Quebec is Catholic and the
Catholic church Of Quebec enjoys spe-
cial favors under the Dominion. and
provincial governments, which are not
consistent with our complete separa-
tion of, church and state. The Cath
olic leaders in Quebec are astute and
influential politically and for this rea-
son their support cannot, says the
correspondent, be counted upon when
the liberal party arrives at the point
where it is ready to agree to closer
trade relations with the United States.

While the business houses in this city
do all in their power to make the city
attractive and interesting to the throngs
visiting our city during fair week I note,
much to my sorrow, that our theaters
display poor judgment in selecting plays
for that week. While we have every re-
gard for the plays running at the present
time, I think you Will agree with me that
people tire of the same play each year,
especially visitors who have few opportu-
mites to see good plays. have heard
many unfavorable comments regarding the
repetition of the same each year during
fair week and it is hoped that next fal!
we will have an opportunity to take our
country friends to some other good, up-to-
date show. ID. d. I
This criticism is fair. The bills now
running at the leading theaters are GER
tainly not new and two CT them at least
have been fair week attractions before
The managers of the theaters ought tic
provide something that will attract visi-
tors to the city at this time.
