SIR MACKENZIE SPEAKS
SONS OF BRITISH EMPIRE FORM
ORGANIZATION IN ST. PAUL
NOTED GUEST SPEAKS. ~ .n@

The Sons of the British Empire, a twin
city organization, was launched last night
at st. Paul. c. T.. Hamilton, the chair
n an appointed q committee to complete
the organization, which shall report in
one week. The members are l.. e. Hoff-
man, G.. W. Dodds, John Copeland, L. L..
May and Dr. Howard Lancaster. After
the organization Is completed it is ex-
pected to give an elabora te banquet with
Sir W1lfred Iaurter, premier Of Canada,
as honor guest.
The principal speaker last night was
Sir Mackenzie Bowel, former premier Of
Canada. He said that it was fitting that
such an organization should be made as
good Englishmen always have a sense Of
love and pride for their native land. III
regard to the present trade relations bc
tween the United States and Canada, he
said: The United States drove Canada
to Its present policy when it cut off It's
products and adopted policy of higher
protection. Since that time the Cana.
! dians have been forced to produce those
protected articles themselves, and now are
not dependent upon the United States as
they were a few years ago. I am willing
and anxious to extend trade between the
United States and Canada, and altho We
are not dependent upon the United States
the way we were before the treaty was
annulled. we are almost one people and
the relations between the two countries
should be most intimate. There is no
reason why Canada and America should
ever have trouble that cannot be arbf-
trated. as the tendency Of the age is
against war;

immaculate Harry" when he strolled
into a certain fashionable hat store in
9th avenue a few doors from Sherry s
restaurant recently, says the Kansas
City Times. Mr. Lehr was alone, but
1t is to be presumed he was there fol
the purpose of buying hat or hats
for his wife. At any rate, for an hour
he kept three of the pretty shop girls
busy while he dallied over one creation
after another and in the end left the
store without making a purchase.
Probably no one was ever more par
ticular or harder to suit than Harry
Hat after hat for women was shown
to him and he did everything excep
try them on his own curly brown head
He would place a hat at every angle
in his hand. holding it Off at ARM

but nothing could suit him. In tn,

and Republican politics, was long
chairman Of the Republican State
Committee and several times refused
the nomination for Governor when the
election was certain, preferring to keep
out Of office. He was president for
years Of the Oakland Savings Bank
and was helpful In every way to those
less fortunately situated than himself.
He was a millionaire He used his
money to open up new avenues of in
dustry all over the State. Besides the
famous men mentioned, D. o. Mills,
Claus Spreckels and Mark Hopkins

which these men faced were hard and
the fruits which came to them were
only produced by years Of self-sacrifice
and perseverance. They lived decent
ly, but simply until final triumph over
adverse circumstances enabled them to
enjoy life's sweets
When Colonel Requa settled in Oak
land he selected Piedmont Heights,
with splendid view of San Francis
co and the Golden Gate, as an ideal
spot He built a mansion and called
it and the estate Of twenty acres which
surrounded 1t Highlands. For twenty
seven years it was a seat Of hospital
ity and rare domestic enjoyment. Pa
rents, children and servants lived in
tranquil happiness and visitors came
from afar to experience its delights
He was an ideal host-tall. of fine
presence, well-proportioned, with q
face denoting firmness, generosity and
frankness. All philanthropic work OF
his section found In him a supporter
