NAMED
CANADA'S NAVAL QUARREL.
' The controversy in the Canadian
parliament, a controversy, which may
- end in another general election, has
to do with the building of battleships
for the jmpcrial navy. The Borden
; government that came into power
I with the defeat of reciprocity, pro-
poses; .to have three ships . built in
: England and presented to the British
, navy. " The Liberals, on the' other
. band, wish the vessels to be con
: atrpcted ih Canada and to remain in
, Canadian waters is the nucleus for
a home navy. ' , . '
The party in 'power,. finding itself
, in a different position, recently asked
the advice of the British - admiralty
. and received a reply from Lord Wins-
,. ton Churchill to the effect that it
would cost much more and be much
more difficult to build the ships in
Canadian yards or to send sailors and
officers to man them if they were
kept in Canadian waters. The Liber
als now have taken this as a direct
attack on the liberty of judgment
. supposed to be granted the dominion
in its affairs and are making politi
cal capital out of the Canadian Na
tionalistic feeling aroused by it. In
;. view of the fact that is was Nation
alistic sentiment that defeated the
JLiberals in the reciprocity campaign,
their use of it in this is rather inter
esting. " " .
Canada is one of the countries that
has an election "every once in a
while" instead of at stated intervals.
The election is practically a referen
dum on the question at issue. For
instance, if the present controversy
reaches the polls Jthe people will have
a direct opportunity to say which
"program of navy building they pre
fer. Incidentally, if the Liberals
should win it would mean a reopen-
, ing of the reciprocity discussion.
That there has been a change of
sentiment on this question in Canada
there is no doubt. Many feci that
they were tricked by the annexation
cry which the Conservatives raised
into voting; against their own best in
terests and the best interests of
Canada as a whole. For this reason
the naval question and its final so
lution has a very direct interest for
the people of the United States.

Union County Fair association and
will succeed A. B. Cherry as general
in charge of fair details. The execu
tive .committee and directors last
evening held a business session and
President Russell was empowered to
enter into a contract with Mr. Secor
for a five months' contract. As soon
as Mr. Secor qualifies, C. M. Hum

the job in toto to Secor. 'j :
Mr. Secor comes into the strenuous

he has been connected r with the

Aside from the election of a secre

done. Now that the organization is

be fertilized . constantly that the

a new section on Whiskey Creek
where' timber is plentiful and will be
available for about two years. The
company has got practically all of
the logs sleuced out of the river, so
from now on will cut on the logs
hauled by the train. v
