Resolved. That the I'D day OF Feos
ruary be. from this day and ever after,
commemorated by this society as the
birthday of the illustrious George Wash
ington. President of the United States OF
America
On this particular occasion IL was re-
marked that the society adjourned with
their usual order and harmony. 1t was
founded on the true principles of patriot.
ism and had for its motives. charity ano
brotherly love.
IL soon became the custom to hold cels'
brations of Washington's birthday In vari'
Gus cities and towns of the country, Phil.
adelphia, always intensely patriotic dis
tinglrishing herself on many occasions
particularly so at ball given at Mr.
Hills Tavern" on I'd street near Race
I'm the year 1893. On this occasion there
! were many distinguished persons pres
ent. among them the Governor OF Penn
sylrama.
At the banquets OF patriotic character
il was for q time the custom 20 drink as
many toasts as there were states In ths
Union. This was all very well while the
number remained at thirteen. but as more

my Private Opinion
Only" Explains Clark

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-After
Champ Clark had received scores OF
requests for explanations on his
statement, and realized the wide
spread, commotion that followed bis
declaration, he asserted that his re-
marks on Canadian annexation were
purely matter of private opinion.
That was my own private opinion
which have publicly expressed hun.
dreds OF times" he declared. I'm my
speech I was speaking for myself
alone, giving my OWL opinion, and
did not presume to attempt TO give
the stand of anyone else on this
question"
Clark was inclined to treat the mat.
ter lightly.
Every available species OF diplo-
matte and legislative patching appar.
atus was brought into play today by
the administration, In a frantic at
tempt to al up the yawning leak in
the reciprocity dixie caused by Champ
Clark's Canadian annexation talk.
A case of administration frenzy un-
equalled since the days OF Roosevelt
has shaken the white house, and
President Taft, having discovered that
Clark's Spread eagle scream" il In
fair way to defeat reciprocity, is
sued a series of orders calculated to
reassure the Canadians.
That Senator Crane, of Massachu-
sets. has been made legislative whip
In the senate by President Taft, with
instructions to push the Canadian
reciprocity agreement through that
body, is believed here today. follow
ing a significant conference between
the president and Crane last nigh.
Determined to secure the ratifca-
ton of the agreement without an ex.
ira session IL possible il is said that
the president instructed Crane TO APP
proach various senators having
measures pending, and try to per-
suade them to step aside and give
reciprocity clear sailing.

SPRINGS MERRY QUIT ABOUT

Andrew Higgins Little Comment Met
BY Whack With Poker. His
Arrest Following.

So many merry quips have been
sprung anent home grown biscuits
that Andrew Higgins thought there
was no harm in his mentioning to his
wife that her biscuits were not just
what they were pulled up to be.
II so happened that on Wednesday
Mrs. Higgins spent the major portion
of her time in the kitchen OF her resi-

voted Andrew.
In the evening, the twain repaired
to theater After the theater, there
occurred one of those delightful do
nestle luncheons, during the course OF
which, wiley produced the offending
biscuits. What Andrew said about the
biscuits is not known definitely, but
his words must have sunk deep into
wifey's soul.
At any rate, after Andrew finished
discoursing about the biscuits, Mrs
Andrew seized a stove poker. After
a few preliminary remarks, she
bounced the poker off Andrews devot.

Rebuke To Clark Fails
To Salts y London Press

LONDON, Feb. 16.-Little credence
is given today by conservative news
papers TO President Taft's disayowal
Of Champ Clark's annexation predic-
ton. as reflection of the sentiment OF
American statesmen.
Ii Is argued that Clark Let the cat
cut of the bag In an unguarded mo-
ment and then sought to cover up by
declaring that he uttered merely his
individual opinion.
1T is quite natural that Taft should
repudiate an orator who spoke of reel
procity as the road to annexation, .
the Globe says today. But the re-
pudiation covers only the president
himself. The fact remains that the
thought embodied In, Clark,s annexa.
ton talk seems to have, been prom
inent in the minds of other Ameri-
cans, whose eagerness will certainly
raise a storm of protest.
Canada has even ruffled the
tempers of free traders here by her
apparent willingness to play into the
hands OF the Americans"
All the conservative papers warn
Canada to Beware of reciprocity un.
less she is ready to be swallowed by
America"
The Liberal papers are handling the
question gingerly, owing to be uni
versal resentment to the thought OF
annexation. They accept Clark's
statement as correct and praise Taft
for SO quickly and SO positively deny.
ing that the United States has any
notion of absorbing Canada.

Reciprocity Will Never

Clark that the United States would
Secretary OF State Knox in an address
before the Chicago Association oil
Commerce, last night. Speaker-elect
Clark declared in a stirring speech IN
the house In Washington Tuesday tina,
the approval of the reciprocity agree
nent would be a striking move to
wards annexation.
Secretary Knox, speaking In accord
ance with emphatic instructions from
President Taft, said the fears that the
adoption OF the agreement would
eventually lead to the absorption oil
the Dominion government. were
eroundless
Though the people Of the United
States and Canada are "a substan
TALLY homogeneous people" with
deep moral and racial reciprocities.
the benefits OF the proposed reciproc
ity ought not TO be obscured by tue
fear of relations too cordial and con
ceivably dangerous to the great Ca
madam loyalty to England" In the
opinion OF Mr.. Knox.
Mrl Knox declared that while mi
Eratidns proceeded as constantly and
as freely between Canada and tho
United States as between two states
Of this country. and while the tvs
peoples have been Welding together
for two centuries, there Is not the
slightest probability that this racia
and moral union will involve any po
litical change or annexation or ab
yorption."
1T is an chronological fact that 20
!itical units of the English-speakine
people never lose their autonomy
said Secretary Knox. Like bees, they
give on their swarms, who set up fo'
themselves Independently, but they
do not make political combinations
among themselves"
Declaring that the reciprocity prop
osition was economic, not political

sickness since the local option law
took effect than ever before. Where
before local option. the city had TO
pay $50 a month for the medical treat

drink, IL now pays almost nothing.
The physical harm which drink docs
a man is enough to convince people
of the evils OF intemperance.
DR.. A. l.. Robinson. founder OF the
John Robinson hospital. asked IL he
thought local option the best thing.
replied: Most certainly | do. Bills
have been paid more promptly. bust

more lively. and the moral conditions
of the county are surely bettered."
