In a speech dolivorod at St. Louis,
President Taft said that tho courts
were too Blow and that thero were
some grounds for impeachment, but
ho found none for tho recall. Ho
said: "Mako your judges respon
sible. Impeach them. Impeachment
of a judge would bo a very healthy
thing in these times, I agree. I have
known instances in congress whore
thero was ground for impeachment
that ought to have boon carried
through, but on inquiry I found that
the diaicultlos between the members
of congress and tho judge had been
settled by compromise and the thing
had passod away."

From on board tho president's
train at Kalamazoo, Mich., James
W. Barrett, correspondent for the

not the proper thing for a president
of tho United States to sing "Yip I
Addy I Aye," at the breakfast table,
but when President Taft sang at
breakfast the ether morning he was
which ho insisted on hurrying up
agreeing to reciprocity in this coun
try before Great Britain could estab
lish her imperial policy of tariff with
preferential rates for the colonies.
He and I were both quoted by the
anti-reciprocity crowd in Canada, ho
more than I, but tho chances are
that tho quotations from his speech
and mine did not have half so much
to do -with defeating reciprocity as
did the corruption funds sent from
both this country and Great Britain
into Canada."
London dispatches say that there
is great joy in England over the de
feat of reciprocity.
Following is press comment on
reciprocity: Tho Tronto Mail and
Empire says: "The Knox-Fielding
pact has received its quietus. That
menace to Canada's independence,
that trouble of our politics for tho
last eight months, has been dealt
with by the sovereign people in a'
fashion that makes a man feel prouder
than ever to bo a fellow citizen of
the great majority who tore into
tatters the covenant of treason our
ministers concluded with the presi
dent of the United States. Not only
is tho evil spirit of continentalism
exorcised, but the government it
possessed is cast out. This is the
end of most infamous false dealing
that the ministry of a British do-
a barrier against imports as high as
Hamon's gallows.
"It is a matter of very great re
gret that so many of the leaders of
the liberal party should be among the

, -.-- "That happened at the breakfast
given him at the Kent Country club
at Grand Rapids. Songs followed the
menus and "Yip I Addy" was the
first number. The president, some
what to the general surprise, joined
in the famous chorus.
" 'The president likes songs,' whis
pered a Washington newspaper man,
who has gone through several presi
dential tours. 'What he likes especi
ally are college songs, chiefly Yale
songs. Whenever he strikes a crowd
that sings Yale songs for him he
gets really excited and wants to
yell.' "

their objections to having any 'truck
or trade, with the Yankees.'
"Tho other provinces, taken to
gether, have a majority for Laurier
and larger markets, but by an over
whelming vote Ontario has declared
that she will have nothing to do with
reciprocity. The campaign orators
of the conservative party builded
better than they knew, when, dur
ing the last two weeks of the cam
paign, they appealed to the people
of this province to save Canada from
tho Americans. That created a wave
of feeling that was not observable on

procity. He said: "My remarks
about annexation did not do half as
much to. defeat reciprocity in Cana
da as did President Taft's speech in
the .voters t rom their political moor
ings in numbers.
."That the wave of anti-American
sentiment will speedily subside is
entirely probable. It mounted too
high to last. But tho drift will re
main and until Ontario becomes less
powerful relatively in the councils
of the nation than she will be in the
opening period of tho B or don adminis
tration there will bo no hopes of bet
ter trade relations with the people of

Borden will not be long unchalleng
