It says: “Mr. H. H. Miller. the pres- ent member for the district, was one of the speakers Friday night. coming from Ottawa to address .his constituents. He is a Director and one of the principal share- holders of the Knechtel Furniture Co., and his wishes were consulted as to a canvas of the factory. Mr. Miller consulted, but had some fears regarding the probable lax- ity of supervision. However, the News agreed totake the vote in any manner suitable to Mr. Miiil-er, and at his request one of his own employees distributed, collected. counted up, and checked over the ballots. Even under these condi- tions, the vote was over two to one against the principles which Mr. Miller upheld on Friday night” Under such conditions, SHIBIY Mr. Miller and his political friends must admit the test was a fair one, and the result of an, election with the Reciprocity Agreement no doubt he also shielded many people with political pull, who had enriched themselves at the expense of the Government. The charge is boldly made in the House of Commons that some of these graft-ers had contributed time and money towards Mr. Mur- phy’s election to Parliament. ‘ Agst.

About the only man discharged was R. B. Cooke, who says that he was suspended, and then dismissed because he refused to advance $5000 to the Montreal Herald, 3 Government organ, upon the ver- bal order of the Under Secretary of State. The circumstances sur- rounding this man’s discharge might well be( inquired into, as well as the: serious charges made against him by Mr. Murphy. It might also be asked why Mr. Mur- phy had never prosecuted this man, or any other man for that matter, connected with the ras- calitles of the; Printing Bureau. The investigation which Mr. Mur- phy conducted was a secret in- vestigation, and the people who were examined were not examined under oath.

The issue of 'Wednes- day, May 4th,. gives the result of voting in Hanover factories. Where 265 placed‘ themselves on record against the agreement, and 81 for it. as foblows. Yours truly, THE MORTIMER‘ CO., Ltd., A. E. Mortimer, Managing Director. { An able speech‘ in support of EMx. Northrup’s resolution was de- livered by Mr. J. D. Taylor, the Conservative member for New Westminster. Mr. Taylor gave many cogent reasons why an in- Evestigation should be granted. [These were nearly all of them {founded upon statements made by the Secretary of State himself. For example, as Mr Taylor point- ed out, there was carried away from the Printing Bureau, supplies to the value of $14,000. No efiort has been made to identify the thief, or to recover the goods. This alone would give some work for a Royal Commission. Then again, the charge is made by! Mr. Murphy, that there was a middle- man between the late Superintend- ent of Stationery, and the firms which defrauded the Government. Mr. Taylor very. properly sug- gested that the country should know who this man was, and: ,what steps should be taken to punish him. Mr. Taylor also pointed out the necessity for investigating the incompetence, or worse, of officials in many departments was greatly adding to the cost of printing. It had taken, for example, 425 hours to set up" the bud-get speech, and 312 hours to make corrections. As he very properly, said, no such incompetence would be tolerated in any business institution in. the world. L'u‘hographing ‘00., as explained to our Mr Mortimer by. Mr. R. E. Cook 81 timer tells his readers that his “equipment as a printing estab- ixishment is equal to that of any prosperous career, and Wish it many more happy anniversaries. “My hope is that if we .can have close-r commercial relations with the people of Canada, some day this relationship may blend the two peoples into one harmonious Whole, and’ that the territory lying north of us may become a part of the United ”States, ’as it should 'be. I have always believed we should be one people, under one flag, and 'un-d-er one form of gov- ernment, and 'it Wi'll 'be better for us an when such a thing happens. fif it ever does.” The :Shesl'burne Free Press has entered (its thirty-sex enth year of publication, having made i tzs bow to the public on the 6th of May, 1875. In reviewing the situation. the present proprietor. Mr. {Mor- timer giv-es the names of only 18 of the ratepayers of 1875, Who are still living. The Writer of this paragraph remembers being in She‘l‘burn-e shortly after the Free Press started‘ amd remembers quite distinctly the crude sign in front 0f the 'unpretentious tlitttle oflfice. Both 18’s in the word “Press” were consistently turned the wrong way. To have the hand painted letters made in that way seemed a little out of place in flnont of a. pmnt shop, "but things have all changed since them and Mr. Mor- In speaking: fat ‘Washington on May lst. Representative Madiden. of Ilbinois, in a speech on the reciprocity question touched on the annexation "issue, and made the following significant remarks: When such men as Representa- tive .Madldern, President Taft, Sen- ator Bev-erid‘ge, and a host of other far seeing and shrewd Americans give expression to their feelings to the annexation of Can- ada to the United States, it is nothing short of folly for any Canadian to think that the an- nexation idea. shoule .have no "bearing on the Agreement. It certainly is a part of the scheme. and all Canadians who wish to con binue their allegiance should be careful in how they act and! vote on this great fiscal issue. Reci- procity in natural products is only the thin’ end of the wedge, and the “c‘.oser commercial union,” :Wilnl as- suredly have a tendency to “ lend the two peoples into one harmonious whole.” The arnnexa-‘ tion of Canada to the United States, and the placing ‘of Canad- ians under a republican form of government, and under the [Stars and Stripes, is the goal of the Agreememt towards which the.

Of ‘course .he' may say the fm‘anu-‘ facturers, mechanics and artisans are opposed to reciprocity. *but the farmers favor it s‘rongly. This may be to some extent true, but the farmers are growing less and less in favor of the agreementl as they come to learn more fu31y< its significance.
