When the first returns began to come m, indicating that the conservatives had made decided K&Ini, Mr. Taft remained hopeful that tii a reaulta In the western provinces would maLerlaXy . change the situation. As the conservative victory continued to crow, however, he gave up sil bop. Few of the banqueters present knew that the president was receiving the retains from across the border, and they did not appreciate what the play of his countenance meant as the little white slips of paper containing Associated Press bulletins were passed to him across the speaker's table. Mr. Tsft proved a good loser, however, for when be rose to speak, hla character istic smile had not deserted him and he spoke in a happy vein for a few minutes preceding his more serious discussion of the arbitration treaties. The president had confidently predicted" to his friends, as late as today, that reci procity would win in Canada. He bad re frained from discussing the Issue In any of hla publio utterances while the elec tions were pending In Canada, despite the pressure that had been brought to bear upon him since the beginning of his present tour. Today at Battle Creek, however, with the assurance that what ever he mlhl say could not be mtscon- f trued. Inasmuch s the Dominion polls were about, to close. Mr. Taft launched Into a reciprocity speech. He spoke with the confidence of one who believed vic tory to be In sight. Annexation Talk Bad. President Taft was deeply chagrined when the annexation bugaboo was brought Into the discussion of reciprocity and believes it had mush to do with de ' elding the issue In Canada, the op position leaders having used It In every possible way. The president In his speech at Battle Creek today took occasion again to dispel this bugaboo, as he has at fre quent times In the past.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22 The question which now Is agitating leaders of po lltlcal parties and factions throughout the United States la how their fortunes In the approaching national campaign will be affected by today s defeat of the Laurler government and Canadian reci procity. It is evident that the replies will be as varied In character as were the political views of the factions which fought over the question during the spe cial session of congress. Official Washington closely followed the returns from Canada tonight, but re mained silent as the figures poured in showing the Laarler party had been de feated and reciprocity rejected. Acting Secretary Huntlugton Wilson of the State department declined to make any state ment and there was no other high official ber In a position to discuss the situation. The unofficial view was that as Canada had rejected the agreement there was nothing for the administration to do "but to make the beet of the matter." Will Influence Next Campaign. That the rejection ot the Canadian agreement will have a strong bearing on the campaign of President Taft for re nomination and re-election la not doubted. Borne of the old guard, republicans who supported the agreement "against their better Judgment" are saying that its de feat will strengthen the Taft administra tion by removing the only Issue on which they war in disagreement with the presi dent. Most of the Insurgent republicans opposed the agreement and they believe that their position has been made much INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. K.-Msnv repre sentative men in public life assembled la5i j night as guests of the Indiana members of the Associated Press at their annual ! banquet at the Colombia club. Principal j among the speskera were Henry Watter- J son, editor of the Louisville Courier Jour- nal, whose subject was "Journalism;" j United States Senator John Worth Kern i of Indiana, who talked of "The Ccnsti- ' tutJonal Lawyer of Indiana;" Former ! Congressman James E. Watson of In- I dlana, who . discussed "What Alls Us;" j State Senator Oscar E. Bland, whose sub- j Ject was "The Responsibility and Credit of the Press," Former Vice Preeldent Charles W. Fairbanks and John P. Cavit. I superintendent of the central division of I me . Associated press, who spoke ex temporaneously. Speech of Watterson. Colonel Watterson . told of the stand taken by him many years ago against the "dead head" system then in vogue In newspaper circles and prophetic of a new era In Journalism when passes and free tickets would not hamper the edi torial policies. In this connection he raid: "Something more than thirty-eight years ago. to be exact, the first of May, 1873 a long time betwixt dinners and drinks I stood where I am standing now, a guest .of the Editorial ; Association of Indiana, asked to take pot-luck, and in cidentally to talk about Journalism. "Not until the coming of your hospit able invitation did I have occasion to re cur to the half-forgotten episode and to read over again what I had said to my brethren of the Hoosier press. I dlscov ered at least nothing to alter or regret. Albeit, the emanation of a very young man, It laid down a line of principles and standards of conduct he has during a long and busy life striven to Illustrate and live up to. . "Not. a. little of what was said In 1373 would read a trifle trite now.- The preas, indeed, has outgrown many of its short comings. But I am going to read you a short passage because it Is in a way Il lustrative and reminl.scentlal and has a touch of humor to It. It appears that I was stirred by what I described as ."the dead-beat system" and the dead-head system," and that I . relieved my feel ings with the following: Would Pay as He Goes. " 'First of all comes, . of course, the dead-head system, which Is the parent of the dead-beat system: free' passes, free tickets' and free postage. You will all applaud the - sentiment' that it Is best to pay as we go, and there is not one of you but believes in the man who asks favors of 'nobody; who -is the slave ot nobody; who minds his own business, re lies upon himself, and. lves ' as such a man"' ir likely to live, an upright, Indus trious and decent life. How can a man realize this .character who- submits to the tacit corruption and quast-lndlgnlty of a free ride over a ral'road which gives it, in order that It may be able to command his silence or his support,; or a free admission into' the theater, which Is meant to se cure an unfaithful complimentary notice of the performance next morning; or free transit .through the 'mails, which is so obtained by a collusion with local poli ticians and courthouse rings, which are too often interested In newspaper publi cations ?' "The dead-beat system and the dead head system are things of the past. They will never trouble us more. The news paper is so far a commercial institution, subsisting on the law of gupply and de mand that its representatives have ceased to think it a merit to pay their way like other people. With scorn they resent all largess unless it comes through treaty stipulation with foreign countries estab lishing International relations and other wise exemplifying the power of the fourth . estate and the freedom of the press." In conclusion Colonel Watterson said: "On the whole the newspaper has made genuine progress these eight and thirty years. In the clavs o. ji stols and coffee for two," It was rather more blatant than self-respecting. It is now rather more self-respecting than blatant. With aasured position have come a distinct precision of aim" and self-possession of carriage. With the sense of moneyed independence has ' risen the sense of direct responsl lill.ty.

Mathews Boosts His Church at the Ad Men's Banquet The Ad club enjoyed a novelty at its dinner at the Hetishaw last night In the form of a sermon from Rev. John Mat thews of the First Baptist church. It is a recognized custom with the Ad club that anyone speaking before it may ad vertise his own business and Mr. Mat thews didn't neglect the opportunity. He spoke of the value of the church to a community and said that if churches were taken away from Omaha many of the people would move out, and property would depreciate 60 per cent in value. Business men generally don't appreciate this fact, : he said, or. all of them would be liberal contributors to the churches. He made a number of observations on the uplifting power of Christian religion in an easy, conversational way tnat mace a big hit with hla hearers. Charles A. Alden, financial secretary of the University of Omaha, spoke on "Dreamland aria Our Land," his "dream land" being a fully developed and pros perous University of Omaha. Speaking of the advertising value of the university, he said Omaha was already known as having the first Christian, but nonsec- tarlan institution in the country and it could further advertise Itself by being the first city to have an institution with a $1,000,000 endowment given by its citi zens. Amcng the nine cities In the coun try with a population of 1.000 to 150,000 Omaha falls considerably short of the average, in its number of institutions of higher learning. President Gering announced tha ap pointment of a committee, consisting of himself, R. E. Sunderland, Robert Man ley, E. T. BTVObe and T. C.

Thtr was no one hers tonight to speak even informally for the democrats. A majority- of that party In both'' ths senate and house voted tor ths enactment of an agreement and without their votes the Taft program for tha special session would have' failed. Borne friends of the Canadian agree ment do not hesitate to charge, the de. feat of the Laurler government to the "annexation bogle." Rex-all Champ Clark's Speech. One of the excuses for thla Issue was suggested by a speech of Champ Clark of Missouri, now speaker of the house. in favor of the agreement during ths last! session of the sixty-first congress, when the agreement was passed by ths house and held up by the senate. Mr. Clark was making a plea for a wider market and in giving his reasons for supporting the Canadian agreement said; "I am for it because I hope to see the day when the American flag will float over every square foot of the British North American possessions clear to the North pole- They are people of our blood. They speak our language. Their Institutions rs much Uke ours. They are trained In the difficult art of aelf government. My Judgment Is that. if the treaty of 1S54 had never been abrogated the chances of a consolidation of these two countries would have been much greater than they are now." Eaeases VnsTsllluaj. .Ths Canadian press, or at least no small part of It. accepted Mr. Clark's state, ment sa a confession that ths real motive will be always a man behind the printing prs; somebody In authority. It is im material whether he work upstairs or downstairs, be he editor or publisher, and never so modest and reserved, if he holds the place of control, he can not hide him' self from the community in which h lives. .

He also loses the chance of going to London as Canadian high commissioner in succession to Lord Strathcona. for which placs he had been prominently mentioned. Sidney Fisher, minister of agriculture, is In somewhat similar plight. He was de feated by a young lawyer who has barely patted his majority. Aviation Meet st fort Doda-e. . FORT DODGE.
