OPPOSED TO RECIPROCITY
Manager Of Walkerville Distillery
Scents Deep-Laid Scheme.

William Robins, general manager OF
Hiram Walker 4 Sons distillery,
Walkerville, strongly opposed reci-
procity between Canada and the Unit
ed States In an address before the
Walkerville Board OF Trade, Thursday
night. when the board held its first
annual banquet He declared that he
believed the proposed trade agree
ment was "a deep-laid scheme to
make the American manufacturer bet
ter protected The arrangement, he
maintained, was against the interests
OF the Canadian manufacturer, and he
said the views Of the Is members OF
the Dominion government who were
instrumental in drafting the sched-
ules should not be understood as rep
resenting the sentiment OF the seven
or eight millions OF people in Can
ada.
w NJ Grant, manager OF the Walk
erville branch OF Parke, Davis & Co.,
said that whether the board agreed or
disagreed with the proposed arrange
ments, credit should given the mem
bers OF the Dominion cabinet for act
ing with the best interests of the
country at heart.

REPUBLICANS
DUCK THE DEMS.
Reciprocity Measures Are Promptly
Tabled or Kept There in Both the
House and Senate.
,rrom IA STAN Corre.pondenU.

LANSING, Mich, Feb. 24.-Enorts
by the Democrats 10 get the RepuD
Leans on record on the question OF
reciprocity, yesterday, reminded one
somewhat OF that scene In Martha,
where the rural peace officers chase
a member Of the company around the
stage with prods, all the time sing
ing gleetully.
Senators Lee and COnley and Rep
Raudabaugh were the proddists. In
the senate, the Watkins anu-rec1pro'
city resolution was taken up, Senator
Lee, Democrat, having asked that the
committee be relieved from further
consideration OF a pro-reciproclty re-
solution introduced by himself.
Senator Collins argued against any
action on the resolution, and remark
cd that the senators we're elected 10
look after state affairs and not to
legislate on tariff matters. Senators
Mapes, Miller and Cartier supported
Collins.
Senator Lee then got chance TO
refer to the attitude OF seven Michi-
gan congressman In ducking the vote,
and asked II the Republican party
was divided against itself as to its
own presidents message, and Sena-
tor Conley, the new Democrat from
Elba, interjected that II the two sen
ators from Michigan vote as most Of
the congressman did, by ducking, 1t
might be necessary to thresh the mat
ter out in the state legislature. The
motion to take the resolution from the
table was lost by vote OF II to ~.
In the house, the Raudabaugh reso-
luton recommending the establish
ment of reciprocal relations with Can
ada was up as special order, but
before there could be any discussion
on 1t. a motion to table the resolution
was put and carried. Reps. Wheland
and Heckert took occasion to explain
their votes, and deplored that they
had been deprived Of a chance to slip
in vote against the resolution.
Rep. F1sk's resolution favoring the
Bennett bill in congress for the annex
alton of Canada as a solution Of the
present tariff difficulties. was also
stifled by tabling, and Rep Whelan
again took occasion to cEiticise the
house for it's favorite method of pro-
crastination and Of evading responsi-
bility through tabling.

HEROIC DOC SAVES
KIDS FROM Death
Has Rescued Tots From Peril Three
Times.-Always Ready To Fight
Grown-Ups, Though.

DAYTON, O., Feb. 24.-If you don /
like dogs. it~yoa don't think there
dog hefoes, you'd better not read this
story because this Va a story~of an
Airedale terrier that Is a hero.
/His name is Wachusett Flashlight
and he's owned by &C. J. Bulpin. OF
this city. Flashlight has a dual ma
ture. He's as gentle as lamb with
chfldren. Any kind can maui him
around. But II you are a grown-up
you'd better not get funny with Flash
light.
This terrier Is a lfesaver-a saver
of children's lives. There are three
authentic cases In which the dog
les of several more.
When Flashlight saved Irene Miller
from death, the child was standing on
a street corner with her parents.
Flashlight was crossing the street,
carrying a package, The little girl
started unheeded, across the street.
An automobile approached at high
speed and was almost on top or Irene
when Flashlight saw her danger.
Dropping his package, the dog
sprang to Irene's side, grabbed her
skirt and lifted her to the sidewalk.
As he let 60 Of her dress the machine
knocked him fully so feet His side
was torn open and he was otherwise
injured AS he arose, man kicked
him. Another man who had witness
ed the rescue, punched the kicker,
and before Bulpin could capture the
dog a street fight was on with Flash
light in his element.
Twice Flashlight has rescued
drowning persons from the Miami N
Erie canal, but their names have new
er been learned by Bulpin.
Flashlight loves to fight other dogs
and to prevent him getting into trou-
BILE his owner has taught him TO car
ry packages while on the street. when
carrying things he pays no attention
to other dogs. Possessed OF inteili-
gence OF a high degree, Flashlight "
used to train Airedales as police dogs.
for municipalities where they are used
as an adjunct to the police force.
Flashlight has been stolen several
times. but has always returned home.
Since he saved her life, FIashllght
and Irene Miller have been insepar-

predicted abroad, and nowhere so con-
! tidcntly as in China and Russia that
Japan never really meant to fight.
NeVertheless hostilities broke out
principally because, on the strength
OF the above supposition. Japan's mod
est demands for reasons of seif-pres-
ervation, were contemptuously ignor-
ed. Quite contrary IL the case In that
OF the present war party Of America,
lheyr. being apparently convinced OF
the inevitability OF a clash with this
country, while look where you will.
there Is not a single point Of conflict
on account Of which Japan might pre-
fer a demand on the ground Of ma
tional safety.
Hence in virtue OF the saying that
It is the unexpected which happens.
we complacently conclude that there
will never be a war with America Be-
sides. let Japan be ever so wicked
and unreasoning, as the American par
~ choose TO represent her to be, 1t
would be difficult for us to find a
chance to play a convincing game
when the other side is with eyes and
C:.rs on the alert. That is another
reason why there will be no war.
Then, 1t is pOpularly credited to
Gen. Kuroki that when asked what he
would do If war broke out between
American and Japan. he answered
that he would fee. That Is the attI-
tude also Of Japan towards the coun-
try TO which she, owes so much, and
she would fight only when she Is not
allowed to fee. But In all human like
lihood. we see no reason why America
should thus force us to fight. That
is the third reason why there will be
no war.
In the fourth place. when the mat
ter is searched to the bottom there
exists no real war party In America,
such OF them who talk war only pos
ing as war party for the purpose
OF getting fat appropriations for the
navy and army departments and Of
consequently securing profitable con-
tracts for furnishing war materials.
All that will come out OF the present
agitation will, therefore, be hugo
increase OF national expenditure for
America, more for purposes Of lux
ury than anything else But that II
none OF our concern.
In the meantime we put II on rec
ord that 1t Is not at all pleasant for
US to be made a war bogey, with all
sorts Of Calumnies heaped on us.

Application Is To Be Made To New
Commerce Court for Injunction
Against Decision That Tariffs

WASHINGTON. Feb 24.--"Fight,"

crushing defeat IN the great rate bat
lie at the hands OF the interstate com

will hght, they declared. as long as
there Is possibility OF appeal.
They hope that the decision OF the

Yoke the Jaw with such effect that rate

uull!fying the decisions This appeal
will unQueStiOnably b" made before
March TO- when the commission de
clared. that unless new and lower
schedules were fled it will fix rates
for two years.
Whether the commerce court Will
grant the injunction practically tying
The hands OF the commission, Is q
question on which authorities radical

III the commerce court fails u.s. de-
clared tho railroad attorneys, I'VE
will carry the case TO the supreme
Court OF the United States. There We
will apply for an injunction against
the commission. or the court or com

dence to prove that these rates in

Government officials familiar with
legal procedure said today that the
!ega! obstacles which attorneys for
the carriers can put in the way OF
the effectiveness Of the decisions may
delay them indefinitely.
Alleged trusts, they said, have held
up nnal action by the courts for six

ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRITTEN By
WILLIAM G. FREEMAN.
No. 667.

Many a merchant thinks he
CANNOT AFFORD to adver-
tise when he looks at the BIG
SPACE used by big advertisers.
He forgets that those same big
advertisers had to start in a
small way-had to creep before
they walked.
No man should be discouraged
about starting advertising in a
small way. 1t is the only way
he should start, and it will pay.
For example:
Two advertisers started using
TWO-INCH advertisements in
two newspapers in a big city
some twelve years ago.
The advertisements ran three
times a week, and they paid for
position. Their announcements
always appeared on the same
page, and THEY WERE THERE
