In return for the laughs he was causing at their ex- pense, some of the republicans tried to turn tables on Mr. Clark by chiding him with the fact that he might have President Taft as an opponent for the democratic nomination. Annexation Not Taken Seriously. This humorous _cxchange reflected the spirit of the debate during the entire time Mr. Clark was on his feet, and no one gave serious consideration to his remarks regarding the possible annexation of Canada at some dis- tant time. His colleagues rezarded s statements in the nature of a com- pliment to the Canadian people, in that he would be glad to see the friendship that exists at present betweenthe Capadians and the people of the Unit- ed States so ripen in the future that ail might some ¢ay be under one flag. There was a further touch of face- tiousness in the debate when ome of the republicans asked Mr. Clark if he would like to be the first president of the magnificent union he was creat- ing, and he’ replied, amid a burst of laughter, that he certainly wouid.

In “skeletonizing” his statements for ca- ble purposes, the semi-humorous char- acter of the debale was probably en- tirely lost sight of. s Political Move by Opponents. Friends of the reciprocity measure were_inclined to take the view that opponents of the agreement simply seized upon what was regarded here dp an entigely personal and harmless statement to make capital of against the ratification of the agreement. A declaration similar to that made by Mr. Clark was contained in the opening speech last Monday in favor of the reciprocity bill, in the house, delivered by Representative Hill of Connecticut, a member of the way and means committee, and a member of the administration party. T speech, widely reported in the Ameri can papers, caused not a ripple so far a8 its annexation sentinments - were concerned. ~ Mr. Hill also quoted from a speech made & few years ago by eaker Cannon, in which he not only 100k Canada i under the American flag, but_proposed to make_the entire wesiern ‘hemisphere one country.

Representing Congregational Churches Rev. Dr. C. S, MacFarlane of South Norwalk, representing the industrial and social committee of the Atate con- forence of Congregational churches, said he appeared 4n behalf of that body by reason of a vote of the conference He advocated that the bill be drawm with certain definite moral principles. Absolute abolition of thé fellow s ant rule is favored. " From Moral Point of View. In the employers' liability bill the freedom of contract should be struclk out; a man should not have the priv- ilego to assume a risk which also en- tails great danger to fellow servants and to the public at large. He sald that the problem before the committea was one of the greatest before the general assembly from the moral point of view. Rev. Mr. Wisner was called upon, and he said that the only ground on which the committee came before. the legislature was of morals. It believes in abrogation of the fellow setvant rule, contributory negligence and as- sumption of risks. The unfortunate conditions which compel an employe to go to court to prove an injury should be done away with. Iie agreed with Mr, MacFarlane that some sort of an automatic compensation feature should be incorporated in the law. Hartford C, L. U.s' Draft.
