The Fight in Canada

The reciprocity fight on this side of
the line is not circumstance to that
in Canada. Laurier is fighting his hard
est campaign for the pact, and if beaten
he has given notice that he will retire
permanently from politics. The oppo-
sition is also fighting hard Mr.. Bourassa
French Canadian, is Lauriers most
dreaded enemy on that issue. He has a
great hold on the French Canadians of
Quebec; so has Laurier, but Bourassa
is closer to them.
The Montreal Star is fighting hard
against reciprocity, while the Toronto
Globe, the other great paper of Canada
is for reciprocity. The Star is striking
below the belt we think. 1t has sent
emissaries all over this country to write
up industrial aud farming conditions.
They visited New England aud all the
industrial centers of the country and
claim to have found disastrous condi-

out of employment. How true this is
we do not know. There is some fact no
doubt.

who will reveal the facts about a great

that has gone to Ottawa from here is
from the trusts on this side of the line
to defeat the measure. The similar
trusts in Canada are doing the same
thing. On both sides of the line the
trusts want reciprocity defeated. They

Pace FIoored Bailey

The self assurance of Senator Bailey
of Texas, is byword throughout the
country. This unfortunate trait in an
otherwise rather brilliant man aud ex
perienced legislator, was never more
strikingly shown than in his attempt TO
corner Senator Page in debate on
the matter Of duties on hides, in the
closing days of the recent special session
of congress. Senator Page has been a
close student of the hide question all
his life, knows every detail and has
made a fortune out of them. Yet the
Texas senator tackled him with that
remarkable degree of confidence char
acteristic of this southern gentleman.
Vermonts Senator had Senator Bailey
down and out after the first engagement
and none of the quihbling methods well
known to this able lswyer could restore
his equilibrium. If he is not too ego
tistical to learn, he undoubtedly gained
a lot of information from the Yer.

Gospel of Sweetness and LIGHT

In this prosaic and unitarian and
intensely materialistic age We have great
need of thought for the things that
endure.
Are we making our Influence count
for the right 2
Are we so living as to add to the sum
total of human welfare and happiness ?
Are we recognizing that a word thrown
into the vast ocean of human thought
always starts great waves or at least
wavelets whose influence goes on through
untold ages?
Are we scattering seeds of kindness
and sweetness and light among those
with whom we come in contact and
especially the little folks whose lives We
may help shape?
These are the real practical questions
which confront the conscientious man
aud woman.
Reader, answer these questio ms fol
