MAY AMERICANIzE
WESTERN CANADA

Ottawa, Ont, Dec. 27.-That the new
provinces OF Alberta and Saskatch-
evan are in danger OF becoming Amer
icanized seems to be the view of Rich
ard B. Bennett prominent Calgary
resident.
'"The real problem Of the future viii
be how to keep eastern and western
Canada together" said Mr.. Bennett to-
day. "At present they are bound by
three things, sentiment, which is very
rapidly weakening; railway and steel
and the tariff Eastern Canadians
have mission to perform in preach
ing loyalty to the empire and to Can
ada as a whole. The maritime prov
inces are loyal and strong for a united
Canada. Quebec must bg, because
once out of Canada the Frenchman
seems to be OF little value. Ontario
is also lovad. Manitoba is too old to
be moved in favor of secession, and
British sentiment In British Columbia
is SO strong as to preserve 1t intact,
but in Alberta and Saskatchewan q
problem must be faced.
''Westerners whom / nave talked
with do not favor the idea Of a Cana
dian navy at present There is a
very large proportion OF Americans in
the Canadian west and many OF the
leaders among them old the view that
the talk of a Canadian navy at the
present time is idle.'

SHORT WEIGHT.

There is a renewal OF the fgh
against the grocers, the butchers, the
icemen and others who graft thei,
customers by short weight. Dishonest
dealers in the Unit-d States are
charged with draining millions from
the poor through their crooked
methods.
The dial, suspended scales in the av-
erage butcher shop rarely starts at an
even figure. The weight of hooks or
added weights TO the pan will fire.
quently have the dial started at a
quarter Of a pound, sometimes a half.
Frequently a set screw does the busi-
ness.
The small grocers usually weigh with
balancing scales. The weights for
these remain in sight on the counter,
numbered as to pounds and when the
grocer makes the stun he sells balance,
the deal may appear honest. Frequent
ly,however, the weights are made light
er by some ounces by the lead or part
Of the iron Of the weights being
reamed out.
Canned goods rarely come up to
weight and Commissioner Ladd has
waged bitter fight to have the canned
stun that is sold in North Dakota bear
a label showing It's exact weight.
Ice and coal dealers are charged with
great errors in weights.
Usually the customers who suffer
most are those who purchase In small
lots-the poorer people who can least
afford to be grated. Correction of
scales by inspectors is of comparatively
little value unless the inspection is
constant and unexpected. The scales
may be properly adjusted by an oflcial
and in ten minutes the dealer may have
them back on the same basis-if he
doesn't expect another official visit at
any moment.

RoosEvELT's PLANS FIXED.
Former President Refuses to Alter His
European Itinerary

Berlin, Dec. 2T.-Former President
Theodore Roosevelt has decided to
make no change in his European itin-
erary on his return from Africa. He
will speak at the Sorbouno in Paris,
the University of Berlin and Oxford
university, and that is all. He makes
this positive statement in a letter TO
the American Association, of Commerce
and Trade at Berlin, replying TO an fu.
vitation to a dinner which the asso-
citation wished to give him when he
came to Berlin.
Mr.. Roosevelt will be received IN
Berlin with almost royal honors. The
kaiser recognizes In him a kindr I'D
spirit and will show him marked atten-
ton.
The American Association of Com
merce and Trade is in a flourishing con-
dition, having now 229 members. Fra x
Hessenberg was recently reelected
president. In his annual report he took
occasion to say that the German ex-
porters In a majority Of cases were
not disposed to take up arms against
the new American tariff rates, provided
they considered themselves fairly treat
ed in the application OF the appraise-
roents.

North Dakota Political Gossip

and a half-d or more prominent
politicians were mentioned as having
stock In the reorganization. The ed
itor of this paper announces that there
has been no change either in the own
ership or editorial policy of The Fran
yet not one OF the papers who gave
publicity to the false statement, has
had the decency to make a retractfon
or correction. On the contrary the
little papers throughout the state are
echoing the refrain to the furthermost
corners of the state. That is part OF
the Marshall Gronna plan of campaign.
Hampden Guardian: The insurgent
leaders are very much afraid that An
drew Miller is going TO break into the
senatorial game and oppose their pet
Marshall and they are trying very
hard to coax him out of this notion.
They fear Miller will make too good
a run and while he is not very likely
to get the nomination himself, he will
pull lot OF votes away which should
have gone to Marshall, thereby con-
siderably lessen the latter's chances.
Regardless of his record in the at
torney generals Office, we do not think
that Miller would make a very good
showing in the senatorial race. He
would do much better to remain where
he is for another term and if he then
has ambition to go east his chances
would be greatly increase |. The con-
test this year is going to be too close
and too important this year for anyone
but a man with a long record in the
state, to enter the race. Miller may
perhaps have the record, but 1t was not
made in North Dakota. He was bare
ly citizen OF the state when he made
the run for attorney general.
