BOTH 4 O'CLOCK Sf jfilW EDITIOM WJlv i THE PAPER THAT PRINTS THE FACTS FIRST SECTION PAGES 1 TO 12. VANCOUVER, B.C., SATURDAY, "ANNEXATION CRY IS A proverb is "the experience of many crystallized by the wit of one." The experience of many of the opposition to Reciprocity has been crystallized by Boston wit almost: into the tabloid like form of a proverb.

"(Opposition to Reciprocity is ignorance, or insincerity or both." Informed public opinion, genuine public opinion which is untrammeled by party influences is all for Reciprocity both in Canada and the United States. Canadian newspapers are being used by business men to make known the fad thai an almost certain rise in the values of Canadian lands will result from Reciprocity. Investors and settlers believe this, and they are investing and settling with that hope and belief. Propositions are being put before the country to expend vast sums in improvements especially improved means of transport. that I will stimulate the need for these improvements, will cause them to be utilized, the money necessary for them is being cheerfully expended.

There is opposition to Reciprocity, genuine opposition based upon error; insincere opposition based upon interests. In sp'ti of such opposition the very suggestion that commercial barriers, costly, irksome, irrilating, should be removed has given a wonderful impetus to Canada's National life. Canada has gained in prestige by America recognizing the relations which should exist between two great countries which are neighbors. A recognition of the advantages of Reciprocity should have been made long ago. It has been delay which has engendered doubts.

But there is no basis for doubt, where genuine doubt does exist. Such doubt is an injustice to the United States, if it defeat Reciprocity but it will not it would work a still greater 'njustice to Canada. "The people of the United States are as free from the desire to annex Canada the people of Canada are from a desire to have their country annexed Nationality is not in the question. Politics are out of the question. It is a mere matter of righting certain commercial wrongs, unnecessary, irritating, hairing progress and inimical to good will.

Those who eppose putting right that which is evidently wrong must be actuated by "ignorance, insincerity, or both."

Jlr Wilfrid Laurler, prime minister of laaada. arrived here today to addrea oae of tke largest rruwda annrnioirn at a political gathering In this city la many ears. STRATFORD, Sept. 8. "Sir wuino itt.nc.

npunc 1.1. iuiLII Dity last nigni," said sir Wlirrld Laurler yesterday afternoon, addressing a gathering of ten thousand enthusiastic people in Victoria Park. "I had not. tho opportunity of hearing him, but those who did report that notwithstanding he spoke from the antl leclproclty platform and In opposition to the agreement, he stated frankly" urid fairly that this talk of the loyalty of Canadians being affected and that there was danger of their being seduced into annexation was sheer nonsense. Canadians are of better stuff than that, and their loyalty to their motherland cannot be bought.

Sir James Is right In that. He represents tho situation Just as it Is; he is In accord with Sir John Macdonald, Sir Oecrgo Cartier and great Conservatives of the past who were not affected In their efforts to obtain reciprocity by any such nonsense not only nonsense, but an Insult to Canadian people." (Prolonged cheers.) The premier dwelt with outspoken emphasis on the Conservative Nationalist alliance. "Vou are told," said he, "that the Influence of Laurler In Quebec Is on the wane; that a gentleman named Bourassa Is waging war upon him with his compatriots. There Is a measure of truth In this. Bourassa.ls head of a school of so called nationalism, which Is doing Its best to destroy Laurler and every time the declaration is made that the Influence of Laurler 0n account of the activities of Bourassa and his achool is on the wane there is a shout of Joy from Tory organisers and Tory politicians.

It may bo that the influence of Laurler Is. en the wane, but If it Is I have yet seen no evidence of It. (Cheers.) "If It Is, 1 say without hesitation, that It would be no proud day for Canada and still less for the Conservative party If It i destroyed by me thuds which are being used." (Hear hear.) The premier charged antl roclprccily Conservatives with an unworthy alliance with the Bourassa school In the present contest. The Montreal Herald after Investigating had charged that Bourassa writings attacking Canada's contribution of contingents to the Boer war were being; circulated in various trench canadlan parishe and paid for by a Conservative organisation In Won. treal.

The alleged tele gram to tho Montreal Star, deprecating reciprocity, which Kipling ta stat ed to have written, Is being commented upon by a auction of the Scottish preaa, which does not believe implicitly that Kipling was the author. The Morning Leader, commenting upon the despatch, says: "Unless the Montreal Star ha been victimised by a bogus telegram.

Kipling has been unburdening himself of the most astounding and mischievous nonsense regarding reciprocity. Kipling does not explain where the ten to one odds come in. The obvious view is that when the two countries are exchanging markets, tho smail country which goes to the large market is doing much better for itself than the large country which got the small market. That, logically, ought to be the protectionist view. "The United States, Kipling avers, is a very wicked country with a much higher percentage of murders than Canada, but if Canadian wheat goes free Into the states, somehow or other the whole crop of murderous propensities Is to be carried Into Canada by the wheat trucks on the return Journey."

(Aonrlaled Press, World's Leaned Wire.) DETROIT, Sept.

Windsor nearly had a "flag accident" yesterday. What caused It was the appearance at various points In the business see tlon where decorations had been put up In honor of Sir Wilfrid Laurier'a visit today, of a strange ensign that looked like a cross between the Canadian flag and the Stars and Stripes.

Uul the maple leaf was missing, ami In its place were lour stars.

At first no one haw anything serious In the uppearance of the strange flag. But somehow story was started to the effect that It was really a new ensign to signalize the prospect of bettor trade relations between the two countries, and then tho fuss began.

They wanted to know the significance of thu new flag, and if Hie stars on It bore any relation to the stars on Old Ulory, and they desired It torn down forthwith.
