ST. LOUIS, Sept. 23. "When n
decision hits me between the eyes
the only thing to do is to sit still."
Thnt was President Taft's sum
mary today of how ho feels over the
Canadian situation. The president
spoke nt a breakfast given him here
today by the Mercantile club. In
troduced by Governor II. S. Hndloy
of Missouri, the president said:
"I am sorry to announce that my
reciprocity policy is not going'
through. I observe that the distin
guished speaker of the house is en
gaged in discussing ;wkois.reapoB9i
blel Well, L am content ith Cana
da's decision and I do not suppose
that it makes any difference who is
responsible. I am familiar enough
with supreme court decisions to know
that when I get a decision that hits
me squarely between tho eyes tho
only thing to do is to sit still.
"I had great hopes of carrying tho
reciprocity agreement and am con
vinced that it would have greatly ben
efitted both countries. But a ma
jority of the electors in both coun
tries did not coincide with my views.
All I can say now is that it is a par
ty issue, except insofar as making
mo responsible for putting through
something which did not pas is con
cerned." The president, it is snid, will ac
cept the responsibility for every
thing connected with the official acta
of his administration, taking the nt
titude that if the people don't like it
they may repudiate him.

of representatives, and President
Tnft were in tho same railroad sta

they did not meet. Tho Taft party
filed from the depot just ns Clark
