cIark's Speech stirs Canada.

Toronto, ont, Feb. 15.-champ
Clark's remarks in the House last
night caused much comment here to-
day. The prospects of annexation to
the United states is the last thing any
Canadian wants and the congress-
mans declaration as to the ultimate eff
feet of reciprocity is ranking in the
hearts of the Liberals who have here
tofore been strong supporters of reci-
procity. The government supporters
say Clarks speech has given the OPP
ponents of reciprocity their only eff
fectlve weapon.

laces OF all kinds, among which are

on the order OF Indian beads, which
are noted on several OF the Paquin

Braids OF all kinds are used on tall

widths, in plain and fancy designs.
Fringe. tassels and braid ornaments
are also among the trimmings and
arouse much attention. SILK fagoting
is used to great extent on many of

liberal use made OF velvet ribbon.

sashes, in both black and coIors.

from the railway window he can see
roads that are practically bottomless
and teams struggling through the
mire that is nearly knee deep. He is
perfectly amazed that such conditions
should obtain. He cannot understand
why 1t should be SO In a country that
has such marvellous resources. The
fact Is that America Is the only coun-

losses that bad roads impose.
Again. may We ask. why Is 1t that
In this land. where SO many great
successes have been scored in so
many fields that we have utterly
failed In dealing with the highways?
In the writer's opinion the reason will
be found in certain fundamental mis-
conceptions. They date back to CO.
lonial times. In the early days the
people settled along the water courses.
In the valleys. Farming was done in
a primitive way. 1t was the day Of
the homespun. The hand loom and
spinning wheel were found every
where. The people lived very simply:
what they wore. they made; what
they ate. they raised. The community
was self-centered and had very little
10 do with the settlement over the
bills In the next valley. The spirit OF
home rule was everywhere dominant.
The roads were regarded purely as OF
local concern. They were Just such
roads as the people cared to build.
and whether good or bad II was no
ones business but their own.
Thus the concept that the highways
we're purely local matter and did
not concern any one outside OF the
immediate vicinity became firmly es-
tablished and held undisputed sway
until about 20 years ago. when a New
Jersey man made a discovery that
was far more important than finding
the north pole. and that was that the
roads were public property-they be-
longed to all the people and as such
II was the states duty to take I'D the
question Of highway improvement and
not leave the whole burden upon the
township where the amount of taxable
property was limited. 1t was shown
that the worlds food supply had 10

Linen IL Cooler

Linen sheets, on account Of the
tendency to withstand wrinkling and
rumpling for longer time, are much
cooler for use in the summertime than
are those of muslin.
OF course. the fact that sheets
should never be ironed is legion. but
where one cannot afford linen sheets
the muslin ones can be gone over
with a clean, cold iron. as this win
prove to reduce the rumpling that ac-
