house yesterday afternoon, three of his

BIRMINGHAM, ALA Special
The defeat of reciprocity in Cam

country more imperative than ever

strengthening the Democratic cause

of Representatives, today.
Reciprocity would have given

he continued, land its defeat will make

Hurts Taft PoIiticaIIy.

WASHINGTON, D. c. Special
official Washington today is taking
calmly the defeat Of the reciprocity
treaty in Canada. While the result
was unexpected here, all predictions
being that Canada would accept the
pact, the politicians are not bother
ing themselves much over the result.
The principal topic OF speculation
is the effect the reputation of the
agreement will have on the political
fortunes. of President Taft. There are
some who do not hesitate to say that
the rejection of the pact by Canada
is direct slap at the Chief Execu-
tive, which will not fail to react un-
favorably on his political career. A
few even believe that the Canadian
landslide will prevent, the Presidents

Defeat OF Pact Overwhelming.
OTTAWA, ONT Special.-Canada
today faces a new era OF tariff protec-
ton, such protection as the huge for
tunes OF most of the American multi
millionaires were founded upon, as
the result OF the political revolution
which swept over the Dominion yes
terday and wiped out all the hard
, work that went TO pave the way for
reciprocal trade relations with the
United States.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Premier of the
Dominion. who, with President Taft,
shared the honors of champion of
reciprocity. and his Liberal cowork-
ers, died game.
The majority Of the anti-reciprocity
Conservative forces was too over
whelming for a contest. being esti-
mated today as all the way from 40
to 81.
Robert L. Borden. leader of the op-
position, who was returned from Hal
! flax with a majority of 600 will soon
assume the reigns of government in
the role or prime minister, for Sir
/ Wilfrid. unable to bear the stigma of
defeat. has promised to tender his
resignation within a fortnight.
Strong Auti-AmeSican Feeling.
Fear that il is a parting of the
ways" for friendly relations between
the great countries prevails in many
quarters today. The old anti-Amer-
lean feeling in Canada. which has laid
dormant now for q few years, has
sprung into vigorous life. The bust
ness arguments in behalf Of reciprocity
were ignored and were still ignored
today in the rejoicing over the Tory
victory.
While returns were being
flashed upon bulletin boards I'm

Taft was displayed occasionally.

The Effect in England.
LONDON Special Trade rela-
tons between the United Kingdom
and the British colonies will become
live political issue i'm England as q
result OF reciprocity's defeat In Can
ada yesterday. The Tory press re-
ioiced today over the downfall of the
Liberal policy in the Dominion, pre-
dieting that ii would have a wide
spread effect on English politics. Jo-
seph Chamberlain's propaganda of
closer fiscal relations between the
mother country and the colonies will
now be advocated persistently and
embodied in a measure which may
become effective before the end of
1912. Conservative leaders in both
Commons and the House of Lords
who favored the Chamberlain propo-
sition will support the measure.

OF. 0Cnef p2QDl. money for
the purpose of making a good thing
Of Christmas distributions Of various
sorts.
Every body, from the Salvation
Army to the superintendent Of the
alms-houses is making plans to get
about ten thousand dollars, for the
purchase of about five thousand dol
lars worth of turkey, cranberries,
shoes, chickens, ear-muffs, red wool
mufflers, bed-quilts and SO forth, for
a lot Of people who in the majority
of cases, should be taken hold of
by communities and made to work on
public roads
Charity is beautiful thing, if you
can get hold of the real article, but,
like everything else in this great and
glorious country, charity has been
put on a strictly scientific basis, and
those who receive as well as those
who give, are making good thing
out of it.
Once on a time there was a man
in a small community who was al
ways first to weep and say ''hera''
when volunteers were asked to collect
funds for the amelioration OF any
thing.
His name wasn't conspicuous as a
donator, but when it came to one
needed for collector and dispenser of
funds for charitable purposes. he was
on the spot, and stuck to the job like
glue till all the money or goods had
gone.
It was mooted question as to how
much OF the money stuck to him, but
the chapter Of Revelations came
about in peculiar manner.
This little town was in the South,
and movement was on foot to hold
a County fair; the military from
ncighboring towns were to be invited.
and as military visitors always bring
their appetites, a committee was APP
pointed to look after feeding the Wis
itors
Among the women chosen to act as
chairwOman Of about a dozen commit
tees, was one Of those snoopy Yam
KEGS who always want to know what's
what.
As the responses from the town
folks were generous in the matter Of
donations, there were eight or ten
turkeys to be prepared and over a
dozen chickens, and only one woman
showed up to help the Yankee wo-
man.
But the turkeys and the chickens
were made ready, cooked beautifully
and set aside fer the visitors.
When the turkeys were sent to the
fair grounds, one was missing; the
man Of charitable procliVities had
taken one home for his own dinner
the night previous, from the bake
shop in which they were cooked.
At the close OF the dinner, all the
coffee, sugar, etc. which had been left
had been promised to the local order
Of The Kings Daughters, but
the charitable man beat them to it,
and when the Yankee chairwoman
learned Of it, there was trouble
lots Of it, and the charitable man had
to cough up q nice, fat check which
pleased The Kings Daughters almost
as much as the sugar, ETC., etc. did.
It's the easiest thing on earth to
get gay with other peoples money
and goods

Did you ever hear the story of the
scrub-woman who toiled daily clean
ing Office floors in a big Office build
ing! She was nearly fifty years old,
as fat as they make 'em, and she
hadn't soul in the world to bother
about her.
She saved and saved for years for
what? A PINK, SILK DRESS! And
she bought it for herself, for a Christ
mas present.
If ever there is a time when the
average, normal, healthy woman
wants frivlous things, it's when she
is looking through. Christmas cata-
logues.
Personally-though it isn't good
taste to inject personalities in this
column, | want all the most ridicu-
lous things, like high-heeled slippers
with lots Of jam-tart bead work on
EN- (though [ never so to any place
where I could wear high-heeled Slip
pers), and I want a royal velvet
opera cloak; (and all the opera we
have in our town is on the phono-
graph), and I want willow piumes
about four yards long (and I'd never
own a hat to put 'em on), and the
jewelers. catalogues simply tempt me
to choose impossible "dog-collars"
bracelets, earrings and all the other
ct GETS, though my dearest friend
couldn't possibly make me believe
any of these things we're becoming"
And the answer is, brethren and
sistern all: you'll get more fun, more
real, old-fashiOned satisfaction when
you have found out what your fat,
staid, near-sighted friend wants-not
what he or she should have for
Christmas.
There's a lot of Joy pent up in this
old world: there are people one
meets every day whose friendship is
worth incalculable sums to US, and
Christmas is the very best time to
forget old wounds, ignore old scars,
bury hatchets, obliterate feuds and
make our own little corner of the
world what it can be made by our
own individual effort
