Bill Favored

Victoria, B. C.. February 16.-The British Columbia legislature yesterday adopted the resolution introduced two weeks ago condemning the reciprocity agreement between the United States and Canada. There was only one dis oenting vote.
 Premier Mcbride spoke at length on the resolution, asserting that he re- yards reciprocity with the United States as unnecessary and uncalled for by conditions existing in Canadian trade. He said that although he be- lieves freer trade with the United States would not weaken Canadian loyalty to Great Britain. 1t would not assist In bringing the dominion and the mother country closer together.
 He interprets the agreement as de- parture from the established policy which both parties in Canada have rec ognized as to the welfare of the do- minion.

Some Paris Views

Paris. February 16-The Temps this afternoon publishes leading article sum- ming up the United States-Canadian reci- procity situation. The paper thinks that the speech made by Representative Champ Clark in the House on Tuesday when he referred to the question of an- Dexation of Canada by the United States, seriously threatens the success of the agreement. as 1t truly awakens' the slum- Der in quietudes of Canada, and thlt the United States seeks the absorption of Canada. At the same time. the news paper expresses the opinion that if the agreement dissatisfies England this IS largely England's fault
 From the start the Temps maintains England has failed to recognize the importance of the negotiations, and. generally speaking, has conducted the whole question with the same feeble ness and slackness that has charac- teriz her action in other parts of the world"

GREAT AND NEAR-GREAT
 PUBLIC MEN IN ALABAMA
ny WALTER uAnPEn.

Judge Alexander Oscar Lane, who may be one of the first commissioners of the city of Birmingham, wanted to be an ed tor of newspapers.
 His father, who was sturdy, thrifty and prosperous physician and farmer, saved him.
 He persuaded the boy to enter the law and gave him a liberal education in that direction. After leaving the common schools of his native county, Macon. Ala bama, he went to the University of Geor- gia, University of Alabama and Univer- sty of Kentucky. After leaving the university he was principal of the High school at Clayton in Barbour county. the political hatchery of Alabama.
 As principal of this school he distin- guished himself for his executive ability and gave promise of the strong char acter that he was building for the future. His discipline was of the kind that com manded respect, preserved absolute or der and yet was never considered tyran- nical. It is said that he had never to re- sort to corporal reinstatement during the time he was principal of the school
 Many of the men who have later be- come prominent in state affairs attended this school while Judge Lane was prin- cipa and still often call to mind the wis., dom and executive power that he exer- cised and by which he commanded order and respect.
 These traits have been rounded out and stand prominent In Judge Lanes ca reer. As judge of the second division of the circuit court of Jefferson county he has made a reputation for the business like dispatch of it's affairs. Executive and judicial ability go hand in hand One Is as necessary as the other in the suc- successful presiding judge The com bination is wonderfully met in Judge Lane.
 Judge Lane was born october g, 1S4S

1 He was admitted to the bar after passing most creditable examination in Novem- Der of 1869. He hung out his shingle first at Ozark but soon after that Birmingham got on the map and recognizing the op. portunities of this town and community he packed his shingle in his grip and came to Birmingham. This is one good proof of his judicial foresight.
 He came in the spring-in the spring of 1878. Birmingham was hardly year Of age. He has literally grown up with the town and has been closely identified with its every development. For four terms he was mayor of Birmingham, three terms In succession. Echoes from hls admin istration of the city's affairs are all of the most complimentary nature.
 He has held no other political position outside of mayor unless his present judi oial position may be classed as political. He enjoys the game of politics. but cares little for the personal fortunes of the game.

of his seat. 1t would be equally criminal
for Congress to adjourn without action
on the general service bill. War veterans
are going to their graves at the rate Of
5000 a month, and if they are to receive
relief at all, now is the time for Con-
gresS to furnish it. The resolution sub
rlitting to the country a Constitutional
amendment regarding the election of Sen
ators by tie people is not so serious an
affair as some members Of the Senate
would have it. They seem to forget that
the people are to decide whether the
amendment is to be Incorporated in the
Constitution. and not themselves. The
bill to perpetuate the tariff board is an
other matter which should be grappled
with.
Instead Of promptly facing all these
matters continued Senator Brown, the
Senate is literally drifting in a fog

important projects before it for attention
than now, and there never was more un-
certainty as to going ahead and dispos-
ing of them

are equally determined to filibuster

said there were at least two Senators
who desired to speak, referring to Sem
ators Root. Of New York and Lodge, of
Massachusetts,, and that he would desire
to make few remarks himself Senator
Kean- of New Jersey, expressed a desire
to hear these speeches before agreeing to
date for a vote. whereupon Senator
Root observed that he would be ready
to submit his remarks on the resolution
prior to February 9.
Senator Heyburn'S purpose to conduct
filibuster was evident from his remark
II think shall desire to speak on this
resolution as late as March A. he de-

later in the day in such a way that the

How Appropriation Bills Stand.
Although the status Of the appropria-
ton bills before Congress at this time
cannot be classed as very encouraging, it
is suggested by several of the leaders at
the Capitol that these measures are sell
dom advanced beyond their present stage
at this particular period. Attention was
called to the fact yesterday that in the
short session of Congress two years ago
not an appropriation bill other than the
urgent deficiency measure had passed the
Senate by February l. As a matter of
fact, but two bills beside the urgent de-
fiiency bill have passed the Senate thus
far. But one appropriation bill of the list
of fifteen to be passed has reached the
President for his signature.
The Mccall bill, to put in force the re-
Gently effected Canadian tariff agreement

thorities. which, it is reported, will be on
its way from the House to the Senate
soon, is not taken into the reckoning of

which set sail yesterday.
