Ottawa, Feb. 19.-The romance Of en-
pire-building is disclosed here at the capi-
tai Of the Canadian nation, where the
dreamers of the future greatness of the
dominion-Laurier. Fielding, Paterson-sit
in council. One sees here romance in the
making. The greatness which is Canada S
now not so many years ago existed only
in the dreams of the captains of destiny;
wherefore It is not difficult nowAto pic
ture what is coming to pass in the future
the 1gments of the day dreaming Of the
present.
Within five years Mr.. Paterson esti-
mates that Canada alone will be produc-
ing zoo, 10000 bushels of wheat. Put the
annual product at half that amount and
the minister of customs computes that to
transport it would require seventeen
trains daily for 800 days, each having
twenty cars, with Loo bushels Of wheat
In each car. This reckoning does not take
into account at an the wheat product of
the United States, which, of course. viii
be of similar gigantic proportions.
What the figures mean in the way Of
cheaper bread to the ultimate consumer
needs no analysis Only glance at the
staggering statistics, moreover, is neces-
sary to show what they viii mean to

be given to railroad building in the
United States as well; for it is included
in the farseeing predictions of the Ca
madam minister Of customs that OF nee
essity a large share Of the Canadian
grain will be carried over American rail-
roads, and that great expansion will be
necessary to meet the transportation de-
mands.
my own figures" says he, -show that
there was a total export Qast year, of
wheat through the United States Of go
50,72S bushels.
Have you figured out what that
means? Have you considered what facili-
ties will be required to transport that
enormous quantity of grain from the
wheat fields in the West? Put 1t at only
10e. .000. 600 bushels, and to transport it
would require seventeen trains daily for
800 days, each train having twenty cars,
with 100 bushels Of wheat in each car"
AS regards the present situation here In
Ottawa, where sentiment from all parts
Of the Dominion of Canada is reflected by
the members OF Parliament here assem-
bled, the prevailing opinion is strongly
favorable to the proposed reciprocal trade
agreement There have been reflected in
these dispatches the views, obtained at
first hand from the premier, Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, Finance Minister Fielding, Min
lister of Customs Paterson, and the lead
ers from the eight big provinces In the
federation, including the members of ths
oppoSftioa.

Through Representative Samuel W. Nc
Call, of Massachusetts,, President Taft
notifies Congress and the country of his
intention to call a special session of Con-
gress in the event of failure by the Sen
ate to vote on the Canadian reciprocity
agreement The Presidents determina-
ton in this matter is clearly disclosed in
a formal statement given out by the Mas
sachusetts Representative as he was
leaving the White House last night after
a conference with Mr.. Taft. Opponents
of the reciprocity plan in the Senate have
been hoping that the special session talk
would prove groundless, but last night s
statement showed that they were in
error.
Representative Mccall, obviously speak
ing for the President, not only makes it
clear that Congress will be called back
IF the Senate fails to vote on the agree
ment, but also serves notice that MEM
bers who block action Oh reciprocity at
this session will be held responsible for
any business depression or disturbance
that may result from attempted tariff re-
vision by the Democrats in a special ses-
sion.
The Mccall statement goes further.
Through it President Taft emphasizes
his warning to the Republican party thai
unless they are prepared now to yield

CAN DEFEAT IT
IF THEY DESIRE

The outlook for the reciprocity agree
ment in the Senate has not improved.
Its opponents n that body are still
planning to delay action on the appropri-
alton bills and other measures in such a
way that -he reciprocity bill will never
be brought to a vote. Sentiment in the
Senate in favor of the reciprocity bill is
strong, but a few determined opponents
will be able to hold it up in the brief
remainder Of the session. Pressure from
the general public, however, is very
strong in favor of the agreement, and
Mr. McCa1rs statement last night may
have a favorable effect.
Many Of the opponents OF the measure
are fearful of the results of a special
session. Their constituents are interested
in many products that may suffer under
a Democratic revision, and these reci-
procfty opponents may in the end accept
the agreement rather than run the risk
Of an immediate Democratic revision
This is about the only feature of the situ-
alton that holds out any hope for the sue
cess Of the agreement
The Senate Finance Committee will
hold public hearing to-day on the reci-
procity bill and another tomorrow. 1t
is expected that the measure will be re-
ported out on Thursday without recon-
mendation.

ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRITTEN BY WILLIAM C. FREEMAN

THE STEIN-BLOCH co.
signs are becoming numerous in
clothing stores in New York and
other cities, which leads to this
thought:
Why don't they FORTIFY
their general publicity, which is
good, by ADVERTISING in
LOCAL NEWSPAPERS?
This company has, for several
seasons, printed their trade an
nouncements in publications like
the Saturday Evening Post"
which is an excellent idea, spend
ing, l should say, about $4,000
a year.
Stein-Bloch clothes have a fine
reputation. They have been
made, from the beginning, on a
very high standard. That is a
great FOUNDATION on which
to build an advertising campaign
in newspapers.
In every city where Stein
Bloch signs appear, from one to
a dozen local clothiers advertise,
and they get the bulk of trade, be-
cause thousands upon thousands
never see the general announce
ments of Stein-Bloch; whereas
they DO READ THE ADVER>
TISEMENTS IN THE LOCAL
NEWSPAPERS, for everybody
reads a home newspaper.

HEFLIN'S UNCLE RUFUS
STORY TOLD IN HOUSE

Frun the Congressional Record.
Some of you gentlemen conducting this
filibuster remind me of the story of Un-

roadside. He had imbibed about three
pints of fermented millet juice, and was
lying on his back with his tongue out A
medical student found him in this pre-
dicament and he sprinkled one of these
horse-chestnut capsules full of Quinine on
Rufus tongue. applause and laughter.)
Old Rufus rolled his eyes a little, and
finally swallowed some of the quinine
Then he commenced to work his lips and
blink his eyes. He saw the medical stu

to him, '"Mistah, air you a doctor?"

CANADIAN ON TRAIL
OF ANNEXATION BUG
Arrives to Run Obnoxious
Insect to Earth.

Col Sam Hughes, the Richmond Pear
son Hobson of the Canadian Parliament,
landed in Washington late last night,
bent on running to its lair the annexa-
ton bug which has bitten Representa-
tive Champ Clark and Representative
William S. Bennett, of New York If Col.
Sam gets that bug he is going to take
him to Canada have him dehorned on a
Canadian cattle farm, and thus disarmed
put him up as an exhibit at cattle shows
with prize pumpkins and the biggest ap-
ples
Joking aside Col Sam Hughes is a
brave but in this instance a misguided
man. When he failed to get a chance to
so to South Africa to fight the Beers,
he started little expedition of his own
and became a hero. He has been jump
ing up and down on editions Of papers
containing the annexation story, and
Row comes to see for himself
Col Hughes is accused Of having come
to Washington to have an interview
with Representative Clark. He is fixed
with the spirit of the original who beard
ed the lion in his den. He is, however,
doomed to a bitter disappointment if he
takes American statesmen as represented
by the Washington correspondent of the
Montreal Gazette
Singly and unresisted, Col Sam Hughes
boarded a Pullman car and thus began
the march to Washington. Instead of
being met at the outskirts Of the city
with sharp halt who comes there?"
his train pulled into the Union Station
unmOleSted. The most militant-looking
people who have yet come to the notice
OF fighting Sam are the serried ranks of
where he has taken headquarters in the
search for the annexation bug.

turer realize that his GENERAL
P u BLICITY MUST BE
BACKED UP BY LOCAL
NEWSPAPER ADVERTLS-
ING?
Now, by way of illustration:
Forty newspapers-one in a
city-are printing daily these
Advertising Talks. The forty to-
gether have a net paid daily cir
culation of about 100000.
A manufacturer can buy 5000
lines in each newspaper, which
will give him about sixteen full
columns in each paper-one col
umn a week for eight weeks in
the spring and one column a week
for eight weeks in the fall, at a
cost of $2.S5 line, or total ex-
penditure of $14,250.
Now, multiply these cities by
two and the circulation by two,
and you get 5000 lines in eighty
newspapers for $2S, 500, or at a
cost of $5.70 per line
Is not such a plan we'll worth
considering by any manufac-
turer?
And does not your LOCAL
DEALER need this sort of
BACKING UP, Mr.. Manufac-
turer, and if he gets it will he not
spend, more of his money adver-
tising your goods?
Your signs are there. Why
not tell people locally what these
signs mean?

among those present that an extra ses-

be business calamity. 1t was also made
