Canadian Parliament Replies BY For
mai Declaration Of Allegiance to

United States.
(1y AssocIatee Press.)-

Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 22.-The Cana
dian parliament today formally de-
clared political loyalty to Great Bri-
tain. The declaration was made as an
answer to allegations that reciprocity
with the United States will result in
annexation. Neither government nor
opposition intended to make this declar-
alton when the house opened at three
p. m. They were surprised when the
proposal was sprung upon them from
the French nationalist ground, which
has been charged with disloyalty for its
stand on the naval issue.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier. and r. L. Bor-
den, finance minister, had planned that
the reciprocity debate fellow its regu-
lar course. The prime minister had
moved the house into committee for
that purpose, when F. D. Monk, chief
French nationalist, asserted that in Can
ada, the United States and Great Bri-
tain some public men and part of the
press had stated that annexation was
bound to follow reciprocity. He believ-
ed there was no genuine annexation
sentiment in Canada and that a state
ment to that effect should be made for
.mally. He therefore moved 'afl amend
ment declaring that with view to dis
pelling the feeling of unrest created in
Canada by comments made in the Unit
ed States and Canada as to the political
consequences of the agreement, the
house affirm emphaticallv its determina-
ton to preserve intact the bonds which
unite Canad to the British empire and
the full liberty of Canada to control her

(By Associated Press.)

Chicago, Ill.,, Feb. 22.-Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt, in the last of three
formal speeches here today, warmly
advocated the proposed reciprocity trade
agreement with Canada and scored the
congressman who, he said, were re-
sponsible for hindering confirmation OF
the agreement by means of ali annexa-
tion scare.
From Canada he turned his attention
to the peace advocates who seek to pre-
vent the forti6cation OF the Panama
canal, and claimed it the clear and ap-
parent duty of the United States to
for,ify the canal.
Roosevelt, coming as he said to "en-
dcavor to translate to the present day
the needs, work and will of Washing
ton and Lincoln," met with reception
here today such as was his when he
was president. There was one CHIEF
feature of the days round of speeches
and l1andsl,akng and hat waving which
differed from other receptions in that
today it was the foreign born element
which had the greater part in the well
come. The former president did not
dcviate to any appreciab extent from
his speeches of the Immediate past. -
He gave again his definition of new
nationalism, pleaded for an execution

EFFORT TO CROWD
JAPANESE treaty
THRU The SENATE
10y Associated Press.)

Washington, D. c., Feb. 22.-An ef-
fort was made to crowd through the
senate today the new treaty with Ja-
pan OH the subject of commerce and
navigation, but it met with Stubborn re-
sistance from wholly unexpected
quarter. Senator Hale said the treaty
represented voluntary surrender by
the administration of a commercial ad-
vantage which this country by rights
would enjoy for another year over the
nations of Europe, with whom Japan is
negotiating new commercial relations.
Senator Lodge, who reported the
treaty from the senate committee on
foreign affairs, which agreed to report
it after its provisions had been ex-
planned by Secretary of State Knox,
was unable to satisfy the objectors.

(ey Associated Prsss.)

Washington, D. c., Feb. 22.-The
chaotic conditions existing tonight in
the United States senate add materially
to the probability of an extra session of
congress. In fact, the indications be-
gan to multiply daily that the senate
leaders, having become convinced that
an extra session is unavoidable, have
decided to throw into that session a
great deal more than the Canadian re-
ciprocity agreement, which really will
be the cause for the convening of the
new congress. This, it was charged
by advocates of reciprocity tonight,
will be done for the purpose of becloud-
ing the issue as much as possible and
to delay a ratification of the agreement
by much the same tactics that have
characterized the present session.
Under the guise of fighting over 9TH
er matters, it is charged, the considera.
ton of the reciprocity agreement will
be continually postponed. President

One thing is certain, if Bon

the republicans of that county
must get together and deter
mine which of three candi-

ent there are two avowed and
one receptive candidate for

in Bonner county. They are.

The two first named say that
they are in the race to stay,

situation is different under the
primary system, yetit is high
ly probably that if the repub-
licans of Bonner county insist
llpon placing three men in the
field for the office of chief ex-
ecutive, that neither one Of
them will be chosen.
There is no way, under the
primary system, of preventing

certainly be the heighth o

The confessions of the Nc
Namara brothers at Los An
geles last Friday that they
were guilty of the heinous
crimes of having destroyed
millions of dollars worth of
property and many human
lives by ''the dynamite route, ;"
startled the whole civilized
world, and was a fearful shock
to the conservative element
in all union labor organiza-
tions. The confessions. how.
ever, came only after the at
torneys for the McNamaras
saw that the state was weav-
ing the chain of guilt SO tight
~ about the men that a con
viction was enevitable, and as
a means of preventing the
death penalty being melted
out to the guilty ones, At
torney barrow arranged for
them to plead guilty.
A most damnable feature in
connection with the confess
ions, is the proofs which have
been adduced showing that "a
portion of the money which
bad been contributed by the
labor unions of the country as
"a defense fund" for the ae-
cused, had been used in fix
ing" the jurors who were to
try James B. Mcnamara.
That the vast majority of the
contributors we're ignorant of
the fact that their money was
being put to this unlawful use.
there is no doubt, and that
unions generally are condemn
ing this work and the hellish
deeds of the confessors, is
evidenced by the resolutions
which have been passed ask
ing that the death penalty be
inflicted upon both the Me
Namaras.
Labor organizations have
been hit a terrible blow by
these confessions and the un-
savory'incidents in connection
Herewith, but in the end we
believe the unions will reap a
benefit therefrom, for it will
certainly mean a general weed
ing out of the agitators and
lawless element from every
