PROVIDE GOOD CARD


Today's card for the harness horse
meet at Oakland is one of the best pro-
vided for the four days of racing The
feature race will be the 2:0S pace, and
the same horses that made this class a
notable race at the Santa Rosa meet
will answer the starters bell at Emery
Vile today. John r. Conway will be
the favorite, but he will have anything
but a walkover, and 1T will be no sur
prise if it is a split heat race.
The consolation race for the trotters
that did not finish in the money in the
2:20 trot Wednesday Will be the first
race of the day. Lady Mckinney will
probably be the favorite.
The 2:30 trot down for decision today
VIII set a mark far faster than is usual
for that class. The fourth race prom
ises to be one of the most uncertain
and exciting of the card. This will be
the free for all pace, open only to anna
teur drivers, and all of the stars of the
park speedway have entered for it.
Among the contenders will be Al Hoff-
mans Kitty ID, Luke Marisch's Little
Dick. Lecaris Charley j, Erlins Toppy.
Borden's Cresco Wilkes and Dan Hoff-
mans Maray K.

Our Market in Canada.

In an attractive pamphlet which il has
recently issued the Toronto Globe asks
this question: do the American bust
ness men comprehend the possible de-
velopment of Canada and the consequent
growth Of Yankee trading opportunities
To this we reply that we have reason
to believe that outside Of a comparatively
small group OF American business men
there is as yet only a limited concep-
ton Of the possibilities of the Canadian
market. That some Of u people are
turning their attention in that direction
is shown by the establishment Of Ameri-
can owned enterprises across the border
and by the large increase in trade be-
tween the two countries.
Canada's population is now about
$500, 900. 1t includes several hundred
thousand who are or who have been
American citizens or who have been for
a longer or shorter time resident in the
United States, 1t is ever probable that
at least 10 per cent. Of Canada's total
population would be included in the
group. 1t is probable that there are a
quarter Of a million American citizens
in the Dominion, people who have crossed
the border TO make homes in a new land
Of opportunity. Statistics show that
since the opening Of the century more
than 800, 900 people have gone from this
country to Canada. The movement this
year has begun earlier than usual and has
assumed unusual proportions, Many Of
these people are and will continue TO be,
by habit though not by employment,
advertising agents for American goods,
As the Globes pamphlet expresses it,
Americans are located in every centre
| Of Canada. This means hat in every
section Of the Dominion there is a prac-
teal man who will speak about the ex-
cellence of American agricultural ma
chinery and the needed articles Of the
household II means the extension Of
the American market and increased
sale Of American goods in Canada.
Canada needs people and has room
for millions Of them. They n coming
TO her in large numbers. With me
fourteenth Of our population she is get
ting one-quarter Of our number Of immi-

grants. In western Canada alone there
are five million acres under cultivation
and a hundred and seventy-hye million
acres waiting for the plough and reaper.
Thirty-fve years ago Winnipeg was a
military lamp post To-day It has iOO,-
600 inhabitants. West Of il there is a
thousand mile strip Of fine wheat land.
Twenty years ago that vast expanse was
prairie, with here and there settlement.
To-day it il dotted with thriving villages
and towns and ambitious young cities,
The growth Of eastern Canada has been
less phenomenal, but it has been striking.
Canada il at our very door and she ID now
importing about $3.50, 100000 worth of
merchandise a year, an increase OF about
200 per cent, in ten years,
Some indication Of American atten-
ton TO Canada's commercial needs up
pears in the fact that our exports to the
Dominion in 1897 were valued at t72, 00O, 900
and in 1907 at nearly s1s7, 900, 900. Our
sales to Canada last year exceeded our
sales TO the whole Of Asia and 0ceania
by S49,O 200, 900. There is no reason TO
doubt the increase Of our sales az the
years go by, but it behooves US as an en-
terprising people TO put ourselves In line
to secure the greatest possible benefits
from a Canadian development which ID
as inevitable as the flow of water over
Niagara Falls. The trade current may
be diverted by foolish legislation or by
lack Of wise legislation, but its flow north
ward and southwark is as natural az the
flow Of a river. Canada's commerce
should and in all probability will ex-
coed s 1000, 900, 900 by the year 1915.
The country is being gridironed with
railroads, and business for the lines is
made by the arrival Of hundreds Of thou
sands of settlers, most Of them Of the
English speaking race.
Wisdom calls to American business
men TO learn as much rs possible about
this rapidly developing neighbor and to
demand from their legislators every pos
sible facility for the extension Of trade,
import as well as export. We have
much to gain by a huge reduction in or
even the total removal Of Dur present
tariff barriers. The closer the trade
relations between the United States and
Canada the better will ii be for the people
Of both countries.
The question asked by the Globe is
susceptible Of better expression. 1t
should read thus: Do American business
men realize the certainty Of the large
immediate and enormous ultimate de-
velopment Of Canada and the ~opportuni-
ties that are opened to them by that
development?

Working for Taft in Arkansas.

II Mr.. GEORGE TILES, who was the
Republican candidate for Congress in the
Fourth Arkansas district two years ago,
succeeds in getting himself elected a
delegate to the Republican national con-
vention it will be because his exnortation
10 the voters to resent Federal interview
ton in behalf Of Secretary Taft is needed
In Arkansas the same sinister tactics that
marked the Taft campaign in Missouri
are employed. What those tactics were
in Missouri appears from a statement
printed in the Kansas City Journal;
Here In Missouri the chairman of the state cen
,ral committee aud prominent Federal oniclaLs
went nom county to county and from one
Congress district to another. rounding up their
psrllsans aud managing conventions in behalf Of
Secretary TAN, riding roughsnod over The oppo
sllon
In an appeal to the Republicans Of the
Fourth district Of Arkansas Mr.. TILES
says;
1T Is now plain that persons from outside the
district. some OF them Federal ot1ceholders, are
mcddling with our local affairs. They manifest
the audacity to undertake to name the twod dele.
gates from our district, and very naturally. as Is
too often the case when bosssm and oilcial DONNA
nation are permitted 70 stiae the voice OF The people,
q Federal onceholder Is slated for Que OF our
delegates. Being a man IN favor OF home rule, I
solemnly protest against this interference, and |
earnestly appeal to the Republicans Of the district
to resent with emphasis and determination this
attempt to usurp the prerogatlye OF free people"
Mr.. TILES is not a professional poll
tician but a leading business man Of
Fort Smith who has been active in
building up the Republican party in
northern Arkansas. In his campaign
for Congress he brought the Vice-Presi .
dent and a member Of the Cabinet into
the State to speak for him, and We con-
lecture that the offence Of TILES at
Washington is that he will not bind him
self to vote for Mr., TAFT at Chicago. 1t
is getting to be an old story: where a
Republican leader is not with us the
Federal oficeholders have their orders
oh, dear, no, not from Mr.. ROOSEVELT,
nor from the astute Mr.. HTTCHCoCKl--to
ride roughshod over him. A very siren
uous and effective way Of getting dele
gates, no doubt, but it is bound to react
on the candidate if the nomination il be-
slowed on him.

HowELL's intellectual conclusions "a the

Of the domestic COW. Mr.. HOWELL pro-
tests that he ia merely an observant his
torian OF the struggle. Let us hope so.
Only two OF three years ago he opposed
HoKR SMITH for the Governorship and
the result clearly entitled him 70 a very
remote back seat among the would-be
prophets. But Mr.. HOWELL appears to
have undertaken a number Of free and

becomes interesting. In Il word, he
thinks that BRYAN will get the Demo-
cratic nomination IL it depends on the
attitude Of the South.

very confident assumptions regarding
BRYAN and the Southern delegations, but

Of Mr.. CLARK HOWELL He may know
all about il, though if so it will be the first
time in his recorded history that he has
known all or even half about anything;
but we still cling TO the opinion, based
largely on hope, that Mr., BRYAN will not

minority Of the Southern delegates, 1t
