PRESIDENT DEFENDS
HIS TARIFF VET0ES
Says Danger Of Political Defeat
Would Not Change Him.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Sept. a.
President Taft made his first speech
of his Western trip on the tariff and
his vetoes of the wool, cotton and
farmers free list bills here.
The president attacked the Demo-
Gratis and 'insurgent" Republicans in
the senate and house who put those
bills through congress at the special
session, defended his own course in
vetoing them and declared that he
was unalterably opposed to revision OF
the tariff except upon information Sc
cured by the tariff board.
He defined clearly his own position
with regard to tariff revision and
made it plain that even II political de-
feat stared him in the face he would
not alter bis policy.
The president predicted that revis-
ing the tariff with "blacksmith's
TOOLS" such as he said the coalition
of Democrats and insurgents" used,
will lead inevitably to a revulsion Of
feeling and a recurrence of the higher
rates and the "old system of high
tariff"

Reciprocity Treaty and LauTler
Government Defeated.
BORDEN IS NEXT PREMIER
Defeat Of the Liberal Party Will Mean
the Retirement of Laurier From
Political Life.

Montreal, Sept. 22.-The Laurier
government and reciprocity have suf-
fered an overwhelming defeat In the
| Canadian elections.
BY veritable political landslide the
Liberal majority of forty-three was
swept away, and the Conservative
party was accorded majority upward
of forty.
Seven cabinet ministers who had
served with Premier Laurier were
among the defeated candidates.
The Liberals lost ground practical
ly in every province of the Dominion.
Where they won their majorities were
small Where the Conservatives won
their majorities were trem endous. On
tario, the leading province Of Canada,
declared almost unanimously against
the administration and reciprocity.
Robert L. Borden, leader of the Con-
sentative party, shortly will become
the prime minister of Canada. He
will be supported in parliament by a
working majority of members far
more than ample for his purposes.
The government defeat means that
the Fielding-Knox reciprocity agree
ment, ratified by the American con-
gress, In extra session, will not be
introduced when the Twelfth parlia.
ment assemblies next month, and that
revised basis of trade with the
United States, looking to closer COM
mercial relations, will not be possible
in the immediate future.
Conservatives for Closed Door.
The Conservatives are committed to
policy of trade expansion with the
empire and closed door against the
United States.
Although reelected in two constitu-
encies in Quebec the defeat of the
Liberal party also means the retire
ment from public life of Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, who for nearly two decades
has directed the destinies of the Do.
minion.
Several times during the bitter cam.
palgn winch preceded election the
venerable premier said that defeat of
his party at the polls meant the end
of his career; that he never would
consent to lead minority in opposi.
ton to Conservative government.
Spurred on by appeals to patriotism
and the cry that reciprocity was the
entering wedge for annexation the
Conservatives swept nearly every
thing before them.
The landslide was not expected by
either side. The Liberals were con
fdent that they would be returned by
the people with an increased majority
for they believed that reciprocity
would be most acceptable to the Ca
madam electors.

The gentle and the simple creeds o;
boyhood's yesterday:
The tender faith in Bible things, the

The golden rule to live ones life
according to the light;
And everywhere the thought of God,
that we are everywhere
The children of one Fathers love and
of his heavenly care.
II were asked what believe, know

Back to little child at prayer in the
soft evenglow;
And can think of nothing else SO
beautiful, so sweet,
AS prayers beside mothers knee who
who tried to lead our feet
In paths of righteousness and truth
where none could go estray
From that dear life of simple trust in
childhood's yesterday.
IL were asked what / believe, I'd
have to say, as then,
A simple faith in Gods commands, a
manlier trust 'mong men,
A clear and more abiding course t'ward
that which men might call
The straight out from the shoulder
faith Of Peter and of Paul;
The teachings, most of all; that came
to us in the sunday school,
Way back in little childhood's land, the
land of Golden Rule.
