 '1n a message to Congress he favored a second Hepburn bill having for it's leading purpose closer relations between combinations in restraint of trade and the executive department of the federal government with statutory authority in an official of the latter to approve when he deenfd it reasonable to do so, con- tracts void at common law and under the Sherman act thus substituting the judgment or caprice of the individual for the law, the exact reverse of the plan of the fathers to secure a government of law, not of men. To relieve himself from public censure because more or ganizations to prevent competition came into existence during his presidency than at all other times in the history of the country he entered on a trade against the courts which he still continues.
 But will he succeed in substituting government by the strong men for a gov ernment of law? The signs of the times indicate not. The patriotism of the peo- pie Is being aroused and partisanship brushed aside in the presence of danger.

 .The recount is not conceded because of any doubt whatever as to the ex- istence and great extent of the frauds in the original enumeration. The evil dence of such frauds is overwhelming
 Tt is a fact. however that by reason of the method of frauds pursued the methods of eliminating the fraudulent names which had to be utilized may have quite likely resulted in the elimination of some names of bona fide residents The people of Tacoma, in the absence of a recommendation. will always believe that the number of bona fide names thus eliminated was very large; and recount will furnish the only means by which this question can be properly settled"
 Giving then, the reasons for his charges, MT. Durand repeats his original allegations that large number of the enumerators admitted tho addition of thousands of names; tIiat Special Agent Mckenzie reported the inclusion of many fictitious names and that the schedules themselves bear evidence of the fraud

 On the contrary counsel for the defend- ants denied the jurisdiction of the United States courts; declared that the four teenth amendment was intended to pro- by the act of the state or it's consti- tuted authorities, but not against non action; that the plaintiffs suing for the abatement of a nuisance failed to estab- fish an individual injury sustained and that the bill Is inconsistent in that 1t charges malfeasance in office on the part of state and local officials without es- tablishing the responsibility of the de- fendants wit hthe alleged malfeasance.

CANADA IN FAVOR OF RECIPROCITY

Boston, October e7.-"Any proposals the United States may make for reci- procity with Canada will receive care full consideration from the dominion government, but the attitude of the Canadian people now Is ito let well alone.'"
 This was the opinion expressed by Sir Frederick w. Borden, minister of militia and defense of Canada at the Inter- Coloniol club tonight.
 Tn view of the constant rebuffs which the Canadian statesmen have re- ceived from the United States in their efforts to secure more anicable tariff relations" he said, Canada twill make no overtures to this country and any reciprocity treaty which the United States may offer will have to be for the best interests of all Canadians before 1t will be adopted"

PARKER HOLDS UP TO VIEW ROOSEVELTS DISREGARD
 OF CONSTITUTION AND LAW

ogdensburg, N. Y. october 27.--Judge Alton B. Parker in his speech here tonight dwelt upon what he styled ex- President Roosevelt's utter disregard of the constitution and law as exempli- fled, Mir Parker said, by his record, his speeches and his remarks in this campaign. Judge Parker having in mind Mir Roosevelts present upstate tour, said:
 T hope the good people of the state of New York still feel able to govern all It's citizens, whether rich or poor; all It's corporations, whether large or small, and to exercise all the home rule powers the state possesses and further that they will refuse to de- clare themselves incompetent to do what their fathers and expected their descendants to the remotest genera tions.
 Colonel Roosevelt feels that gov ernment of laws should give way to government by strong men so he be- gins an open campaign for what he calls new nationalism. with the exec utive as the steward of the public welfare, the Congress and the Judiciary as subordinate instead of coordinate departments of government and the na- tional government in possession of the powers now enjoyed by the people Of the state.
 The plea of necessity for this evo- lution he bases in lai ge part upon the failure of government, so far, to pro tect the people from the combinations to restrain trade and to prevent compe- tition. He says they have come to stay and we must have a strong man to regulate them. May I digress mo- ment to say that we witnessed what a strong man may do when the colonel as President, gave consent to the ab- sorption of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company by the United States Steel corporation.
 Let us test the sincerity of his ar gument. In his speech of acceptance of 1904 he demanded more statute laws

DIFFICULT TO SHOOT.

Birds That Test the Skill of the Best
Marks1acn.
We often hear the question as to
which is the most difficult bird in the
world TO shoot The answer is usually
given in favor of the pheasant de
scending with closed wings from a
higher level of fight, though a few
give the preference to the second bar
rel shot at teal scared by the discharge
of first barrel and darting upward
and in any direction but that which is
expected.
4 bird which we have never seen
mentioned and which yet might take n
high place in the category is the sand
grouse, 1t is not to be rated as an
English bird Of sport, but is familiar
TO shooters in the east. where it is shot
as it comes fighting to water holes to
drink. Its fight is something like that
of pigeon. with very swift curves
and undulations. and in its case again,
as in that Of the Virginian mosquito
hawk. it is said that those who have
acquired the knGck can kill it with n
comparative certainty which is the de
spair of the novice.
After all perhaps our pheasant aero
planning downward must still be given
the highest marks for difficulty. for
we hear of no one who presumes to
say he has discovered any infallible
knack by which this most perplexing
and yet apparently simple shot can
be brought off with any great assur-
