.B9URASSA PREDICTS
CANADIAN FREEDOM
Leader of Eaurier Faction Com
pares Situation to That of
Thirteen Colonies.

BOSTON. Jan. 2i.-The feeling be-
tween Canada and England today is
much similar to what the feeling was
between England and the thirteen
Amer can colonies in 1775, and 1t will ul-
timately result in absolute freedom for
Canada, according to Henry Bourassa,
leader of the Laurier bolt in the last
Canadian political campaign. and strong
opponent of reciprocity. Bourassa made
the statement in an interview here.
The greatest question of the day in
Canada" declared Bourassa, is that
of contribution to Great Britain. Can
ada Is a trans-continental country, and
as long as We are not represented in
the affairs of the empire we should be
under no obligations to that empire.
Tt is the same thing over again of
your original thirteen colonies-taxation
without representation. Anti-imperial-
classes have turned against Borden be-
cause Of the dissatisfaction he has Gre
ated by advocating SIS, ,000, 900 appro-
priation for English warships. The ad-
vocacy chased Mr. Monk from the gov
ernment service.
The opposition argument that we re-
ceive protection from England, and
should, therefore, contribute to 1t, is but
mere incident. With no representation
abroad We should no more contribute
than did the thirteen original colonies.
Canada needs no navy. Canada does
need coast protection. especially at the
mouth of the st. Lawrence.
We do not desire to secede from
Great Britain, but we would much
rather undergo natural development of
independence under the naticealist idea
than have constant friction and dis
agreements under imperialism"

.GOMPERS PRAISES
COMPENSATION BILL
Labor Leader Asks Judiciary
Body to Hear Railroad
Mems Ideas of Subject.

Pleading for action on the working
mems compensation bill: Samuel Comp
ers, president of the American Federa-
ton Of Labor today asked the judi
eiary Committee to agree to an informal
conference between its members and
representatives of the Railroad Brother
hood, some of whom are opposed to
the measure. In order that a compru-
misc bill might be framed.
Gompers declared that the bill had
passed the Senate only after hard
fight by fTiends of labor and that un-
less II was reported favorably' by the
committee, ii meant beginning the
fight all over again next session.
The labor leader said that while he
believed the measure before the COM
mittee was gnerous, he was prohibited
from advocating II by the objection
from certain divisions Of the brother
hood.
Replying to the suggestion made by
one of the railroad bfotherhoods that
every. accident to workman be COW
cred by the compensation act, Gompers
said:
while no one is more opposed to
present industrial conditions than / am,
avoidAble-they just occur. III we pass
a bill embracing every act, We are like
ly to make It difficult or impossible of
enforcement. There is nothing that
would do more harm TO workmen's real
compensation than the passage of such
a law
OF jury awards for damages during
the last year. Gompers said that only
one-eighteenth had gone to the litigants.
and that the average life of each case
was four years.

A Queer Idea of Senatorial

Senator W. W. Stark who represents after fashion the
Thirty third District in the Senate of Georgia. has queer idea
of senatorial courtesy-parouarly applied to
permitting an hour or twos the chamber of
Georgia handful of earnest sincere Of Georgia
because he-he Senaor-does not believe in womans suf

These did propose interfere with the pro
csedngs Senate and Senator Stark did not base his
objections their meeting upon that ground He objected
because he does not believe il" woman's suffrage.
The Senator doubt would have agreed fast enough for

chamber but he could not bring his weghty craftsmanship

tread within the sacred precincts of that haowed set aside

Senator Stark has much to learn He will find that he
not slap the Of Georgia in the few of them

The French in Mexico
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

Macmillan to his death and his
consort, broken-hearted, back to
Europe.
The Assembly of Notables" did
not amount to as much as its
members thought it did; and the
Old World was given its first
practical demonstration of the
power of the Monroe Doctrine"
doctrine which, it would seem,
Napoleon the Third had not look
ed upon with becoming serious
ness.
To this day the Macmillan emf
sode remains a puzzle to the stu
dent of history.
Some say that the idea of a
great imperial Latin State side by
side with the great English
speaking communities furnished
the fascination upon Napoleon's
mind which was responsible fol
the business; while others hold
that the pursuit of the bubble
was a necessity imposed upon the
Emperor by the eXigencies of his
situation.
