Neighborhood Trade.

Canada does not like the Fordney bill as if
comes from the Senate Committee on Finance. The
Montreal Star calls it "Haman's gaIlows" tariff
1t regards it, if adopted as marking revolutionary
changes in the trade relations OF the two neighbor
countries. The Star says:
We have been the best customer the United
States has had for many years. The inter
change OF commodities across an IMAGINARY
bound larry line has been quick and easy. We
have been glad to get American goods and to
sell them ours But this country is itself too
well organized industrially, its products both
raw and manufactured, are in too great demand

NEW YORK, Jan. 23-The Demo-

nent have lost no time in dropping
into the pockets OF civil life. namely
John Burke, of Devils Lake, n.
OAK, the resigning Treasurer OF the
United States. and Alfred +. smith
former governor Of New York. Mr..
Burke is a lawyer. Years ago he
was a close friend and ardent ad-
mirer of the late James J. Hill. the
railway king of the Northwest. He
served three terms as governor Of
North Dakota before his appoint

of the United States. And now he
has become a broker in Wall

the fourth floor of s. Broadway
and observed a tall figure framed
by a window that looked down
upon the historic site in the tiny
oval park called Bowling Green,
where once stood the leadcn eques-
trian statue of George III, set up
to be torn down by the mob on
July 9, 1875, and turned into bull

roundings.

Since Mr.. Burke left North Da-
kota that State went Nonpartisan
and has only partially redeemed
itself in the last election by in

metropolis instead OF returning to
Devils Lake, and those who are
acquainted with his sterling quali-
ties predict a successful career tor
him here. He is associated with
his brother, Judge Thomas Z.
