TR ST "WILD BILL” DONOVAN MADE ATKINS QUAKE Harry Davis {sn’t worried any more about the Detroit club than about six others which have pennant aspira- tions, says Tom Terrell in the Cleve- land Leader. Also Davis isn't wor- ried any more about the secrets which will be whispered by “Jim” McGuire than he s about his salary for 1912. There will be some reasons for fire between the Tigers and the Naps this year. The reasons are twofold—Davis and Livingstone. The Tigers love the Athletics like the ordinary oreature loves a snake. Harry and Paddy are not the least among the unloved ones. No Detroit-Athletic game in recent years was devold of dessert in the matter of choice repartee.

And I feel so pleased primarily because I wish to see the two peoples, the Canadian |and the American peoples, drawn to- | gether by the closest ties on a foot- ing of complete equality of interest {and mutual respect. T feel that it should be one of the cardinal quali- | ties of this republic to establish the |very closest relations of good will (and friendship with the Dominion of | Canada.” In a speech given before the Re- | publican club of New York. Feb. 13, 1911, he said: “1 want to say how glad I am at the way in which the members of the club here tonight responded to the two appeals made to them to up- {hold the hands of President Taft, {both in his efforts to procure reci- procity with Canada, and in his ef- forts to secure the fortification of the Panama Canal. “And, in addition to what has been said about reciprocity with-Canada, I would like to make this point: It should always be a cardinal point in our foreign policy to establish the closest and most friendly relations.of equal respect and advantage with our great nb\ighbm‘ on the north. And I hail the reciprocity arrange- ment, because it represents an effort to bring about a closer; a more inti- mate, a more friendly relationship of mutual advantageon equal terms be- tween Canada and the United States.” Senator Robert M. La Follette, to- gether with Senator Nelson of Min- nesota and Senator Gronna of North Dakota, aggressively fought the adoption of the Canadian reciprocity treaty in the United States senate. Senator- La Follette is the pioneer in the progressive movement of the United States—having blazed the way which others are now trying to travel.

I could tell the haberdasher, for instance, what sort of salesmen fellows who could resist the tempta- tion to tell me what I should wear. And that isn’t the worst of it. They tell me I should wear certain things because they do, not realizing that that is the very reason why I should not wear them. “I rather pride myself upon the nicety of my attire, and to have one of these young whippersnappers say, ‘Here is the collar for you; I wear those myself, as though that would Influence me favorably, certainly does get on my nerves.

A petition was presented asking for a better hook and ladder truck and the matter was referred to the fire committee and fire department with instructions that & truck be decided on and the matter brought up again. The matter of a mounted policeman for the district from Mill Park to the depot was left to the mayor and chief of police. The fire committee was also instructed to investigate the apparatus wanted by the Third ward residents and co-operate with the fire department. City Hall Rent Decided. The council decided that in the future the renting of the city hall clerk; that the rent would be.$7 a night for every organization giving an entertainment and charging an admission, but should be free for en- tertainments of a public character.
