Laurier Confirms Our Argument

Sir Wilfrid Laurier. the prime NM
lister Of Canada, in notable SpccGi.
in the House OF Commons at Ottawa,
defends the so called "rcciprocity'
| agreement between the United States
and Canada. Standing out prominent
| ly in his address. in which he affirmed
| Canadian loyalty to Great Britain and
secuted the idea OF annexation, Sir
| Wi!frid announced that Canada wants
| the open door to American markets.
Again he remarked (and il should be
significant to the farmers of Maine
and along the border) that "Canada'S s
life is dependent upon agriculture
Premier Lauricr'S speech is regard
ell in political circles of Canada as
the most important utterapce on the
subject that has been made on that
side of the line. Describing his ideal
of relationship between the United
States and Canada. Sir Wilfrid said:
There perhaps may be a spectacle
nobicr than that of a united continent
"a spectacle which would astound the
world by its novelty and grandeur
by side separated only by an myisi-
BILE line. With not q gun froWning
across il. not a fortress on either side.
with no armament one against the
other but living in harmony, in mutual
confidence and with no other riYarly
than a generous emulation in com
mere ard the arts OF peace. To the
Canadian people | would say that if
it is possible for us 10 obtain such
relations between these two young
and growing nations. Canada will
have rendered to old England. the
nother of nations, nay TO the whole
British empire. a service uneeualled
in its present effect and still more i'll
its far-reaching consequence"
Again Premier Laurier said: We
are ebove all an agricultural people.
Our object today is to open the door
to the American market. and shall we
be tcld that because such an arrange
ment is to go into effect and Canadian
vegetables, cereals and fruits can be
eaten free of duty by the American
people it will be all over with the
Canadian federation and even the
British empire will reel upon its foun-
dation? Let us disregard these freaks
OF unreasoning panic. ALL THAT
WE ASK IS TO OBTAIN FOR THE
WHO WORKS IN THE
THE BEST POSSIBLE RE-
ENUMERATION FOR HIS LABOR
That is precisely what We have said
TO tie farmers of Maine-that they
must compete with the agricultural
products Of the farmers on the other
side of the line, who have the ad
vantage Of buying their manufactured
product at lower prices than it is pos
sible for Us to secure And that is
all that the farmers demand-if our
markets for farm produce are to be

Sea Rules Of the Road.


On the Sell it Is even more-important
than on land that there should be well
ledDed rules of the road. While there
are ocean lanes" vessels do not move
along well marked lines. like railway
trains. They cross and .recross each
others tracks. Moreover, there is no
air brake which can halt IN ocean
steamer within a few yards. Rules
Of the road at sea are based upon CON-
mon sense and experience. In general,
when two vessels under steam are
meeting each other end Oh they follow
the same rules as with us with vehi-
cles-that is. each steers to the star
board or right. Que short blast from
the ships whistle means that she Is
taking the starboard course. two blasts
mean that she is taking her course to
port, three that she Is going full speed
astern. Should there be risk Of COL
lision between a team vessel and q
sailing vessel 1t Is the duty Of the
steam vessel as the more manageable
to keep out Of the way Of the other.
For the same reason a sailing ship
which Is running free is required to
keep out Of the way of one which IL

Sunday afternoon Cal Temple was
placed under arrest for the third time
for conducting a theatre on Sunday.
He was taken before Judge Perry and
gave bonds for his appearance as he
supposed this morning. Temple and
the entire force of Grand Theatre
employees appeared before the Judge
this morning at ten o'clock, but the
prosecution failed to put in an ap-
pearance.
The states attorney stated this
morning that the complaint had been
made out and that it was in his office
but that it had not been sworn to as
yet and that of course no warrant
could be made until the complaint
was sworn to in proper form.
Temple is under bonds for his ap.
pearance and the bonds will hold
until his case is called. Mr.. Temple
was arrested just after the matinee
performance started yesterday after
noon and was taken up to the Judge
and gave bail. So far as can be
learned there was no interference with
the evening performance.

UNUSUAL EVIDENCE
IN A MURDER trial

Fort Worth, Texas, April 1O-The
trial of Mrs. Lizzie Brooks, charged
with killing Mrs. Mary Binford, Janu-
airy 16, at Fort Worth, has brought out
some unusual evidence. According to
the statement of number of women,
Mrs. Brooks prayed for Mrs. Binford
daily for two years, asking divine in.
tervention in making her a better
woman. Miss Ida Stephens, a deac-
oness of the First Methodist church,
said she actually had knelt in prayer
with Mrs. Brooks when the latter
prayed for Mrs. Binford. 1t appears
that Mrs. Binford was permitting the
attention of Judge Brooks, husband
of the woman accused. All the cir
cumstances connected with the case
indicate that Mrs. Brooks tried pray
ers for two years and then resorted
to a revolver. 1t is maintained by
some who are familiar with the case
that the resort to prayer was what is
sometimes known as a "frame-up' that
would look good in defence when pre-.
scented to jury. This, however is
only a rumored notion and there may
be nothing in it. Mrs. Brooks in
pleading the unwritten law in her
defense, took the position that wife
has as much right to defend the sane.
tity of her home as the husband.
