make CANADA A NATION
DESTINY is UNION WITH UNITED
STATES OR INDEPENDENCE
UNDER MONARCH.

OTTAWA, Ont, Dec. 16.-The lnde-
pendence of Canada is now beng
openly discussed and in measure
promoted before some of the most mn
portant public bodies of the Domin-
ion. Today the idea of Canada as a
nation is looming large on the public
mind ard it has in a very short space
of time marveiously changed pubic
sentiment in that regard.
Speaking before the Canadian clup
at Ottawa. j. S. Ewart, X. C.. of To-
ronto. predicted that Canada would yet
fill an independent position in the
wirld. T9ler. she would pursue either
one or three courses-a union with the
United States as an Independent re-
public. union With Great Britain as
an independent monarchy with her
owr. sovereign or an independent
monarchy with allegiance to the Brit
ish sovereign.
Canadian opposition against the I'M
neriai government was directed not
aeainst the king. but against the colo
nia1 secretary, who was generally ig-
noraIt of colonial matters.

We're to hazard anything as to who

patriot should rejoice, for in my est1-
nation he is the one man besides
Roosevelt who can be elected on the
republican ticket said E. Benjamin,
Andrews, chancellor of the University
of Nebraska. and one of the custodians
lof the $2,O00O0O educational fund
started by John D. Rockefeller. Mr..
Andrews continued:
Briefly, Hughes is a Roosevelt and
Cleveland in one. He is greater
statesman than Roosevelt, and a great
er lawyer than Cleveland. Bryan's for
midable candidacy cannot be taken too
seriously by republicans He will de-
feat any man who may be pitted
against him for the presidency with
the single exception of Hughes.
There is rapidly growing convfc-
tion in the east that if Taft is nomr-
mated. as he probably will be. he will
be defeated. 1t is believed that Taft
is much less strong than he would
have been if Roosevelt had not made
the mistake Of backing him.

AS a fitting tribute to the departure
of the great American navy from Fort

cruise to the Pacific and as a token of
the bon voyage extended by the WalIa
Wal;a citizens to the blue Jackets
aboard the greatest squadron of war
ships ever assembled under the Amer
lean flag, Old Glory proudly floats at

in the city. A coincidence perhaps. but
this morning as the first flag was
raised over the court house. the
strong northwest breeze unfurled its
folds and flung it full to the south

parting squadron.
Throughout the United States in
every city. town and village this
question is being asked: What. sig
nificance is attached to the sailing of
this pow erful fieet?" In Waila. Walla
the event is the chief topic of dis
cussion During the day scores or
businessmen gathered about in their
offices or on the streets to discuss the
event. yet the question is unanswered.
According TO dispatches received
yesterday and today. it seems to be
the general belief in the east. and
especially among naval experts, that
the squadron will circle the globe.
Charts prepared and which are now in
the possession of the officers of the
fleet would at least indicate that sucn
is the case. 1t is also presumed that

STAGG FAvORS
FORWARD PASS
WILL SUGGEST CHANGES IN THE
RULES TO ASSIST RULINGS
OF OFFICIALS.

CHICAGO. Dec. 16.-Coach A.
Alonzo Stagg, of the University of Chi
cago Will urge notifications of the for
ward pass and changes in a number
of less important features of the cur
rent gridiron game when the intercoI-
legiate football rules committee meets
in New York, December 81. The ma
Iroon director said that he would .sug-
gest several radical changes IL the
statutes governing the forward pass
Which VIII tend to remove the" present
! prominence of chance in it's execution.
I Notifications are necessary in order
to make the rulings of the officials
more definite and certain. Coacn Stagg
/ also says he believes the decisions of
officials this year have been question
able in many cases while the rules
make the work Of the officials extreme
ly difficult.
! Il believe the new game will stand
as a whole said Coach Stagg. Il have
championed the new rules since their
inception and | am firmly convinced
after two years of trial that the game
has been wonderfully improved The
changes which 1 will suggest will not
materially alter new football
! Objects to Chance Element.
| Il object to the too great element of
chance which has resulted from the
present rules surrounding the forward
pass. The best feature of football has
always been. that the-,best team can
win on its merits, and / dislike to see
this condition upset. i believe in
/ chance. but not in SO much of it as is
now possible. In many cases this year
the forward pass allowed teams to get
down the field by sheer chance
"One of the things needed is some
way TO insure that only eligible men
touch the ball on the forward pass.
Only the men one yard back of the line
OF scrimmage and the ends should
touch the ball after it is passed but
this year in some cases practically all
the men on the eieven touched the ball
/ illegally.
Il distinctly favor reducing the value
points if the forward pass remains as
! it is Teams get within kicking dis
tance too often now and the goals from
the field count too much in the score.
If their value is reduced Ito three
POINTS. so that two goals from field
would just equal one touchdown and
goal from touchdown, the right proper
! tion would, be secured.
] while there seemed to be tend
eilcy to use the forward pass sparing-
ly in the east this season, l believe
that the eastern members of tae rules
/ tcommittee will stand by it with the
qualifications that can easily be made.
Il am just as enthusiastic over the
forward pass as | ever was and would
not think of cutting it out and revert
ing to the old style of game
