Commerce will go her* own way even tho she must walk in leg-irons. Why not strike them off and permit her to pursue her. journey freely to the end?" This single utterance symbolised with brilliance and succinctness the domi nant note of a speech delivered to the Merchants' club at the Auditorium to night by James J. Hill, president:of the Great Northern railway on "Itepiprqc ity with Canada.", Mr. Hill had been selected as the guest and orator of the first season's dinner by this organization, not only because of his admitted prominence in the world of traffic and trade, but be eauee the club felt that no.other man .could present the affirmative side of the better Canadian -reeiprooi^ argument bett 'than he.-..C .-v^'':.%f^^pp||t Sheerest Folly, He Says*-.,-: Eeceived with long-continued ap plause and frequently_ jj^t-wptei tth outbursts o_ a^plp$f^Mr^M %osa, t his subject with "confidence^ ana.before :he had.closed-seemed to hayj^wbir:every man in his audience,TO,his belief.)

To erect and maintain a forbidding tariff structure between sections ofthjs. wonderful country, Mr. Hill held" to be as inexcusable as deterring-4arade stipulations between states of the omion.\ Such agreements and arrangements, he said, probably "would have been-"made years'ago had the constitution of the -nation' permitted. Yet,* he intimated, all this would have been' the sheerest folly. I4ke Plight of Colonies. "The situation is not unlike that exjs isting between Great Britain ar/d the American colonies before the revolu- tion,' declared Mr. Hill, "and every turn of the tariff screw .by*-the United States merely creates exasperation and hardens a determination to achieve in dustrial independence, even tho it be purchased at the cost of industrial iso lation. Each year has seen a diminu tion in the Canadian desire for reci procity. That reciprocity is still possible, how ever, the railroad president believes is unquestioned, and he mentioned as a favoring influence the downfall of the Chamberlain policy in Great Britain, and with it the virtual command of the mother country to her dependencies to make trade agreements wherever possi bue. Then Mr. Hill gave some figures in the way of clinching his arguments. He said: Urges Early Action. That the export trade of Canada to the United kingdom had risen from $3,544,000 in 1866 to about $110,000,000 'in 1904. That on our side Canada does more business with the United States than any .other country save Great Britain and Germany. "It remains,'' continued Mr Hill, "f or business men in both countries to take hold before it is too late." And he asked at this point what the first principal step should be, and an swered it in this manner: No one can go into this matter, dis miss bias and self-interest, without be lieving that the consummation most to be wished is .the wiping out of custom houses along our northern frontier and the establishment there of absolute free _,'trade. 1$.is the suggestion of .natural law, of business interest, of the common good. If the time be not due jfor that, the least that it demands is the policy and a measure .of ample reciprocity. v.* Canal as Boon to Nation.

From Darkest Minneapolis BABY FRANKIE HEATH. __ This Photograph Was Taken Three \A(eeks After He Was Rescued From the Baby Farm and Placed in the Humane Society's Home. NEW BABY-FARM HORRO Little Frankie Heath Is Found by His Mother Dying of Starvation Amid Most Revolting Conditions. TARVING to death on a diet of sour milk in a South Minneapolis baby farm, Frankie Heath, aged 6 months, has been rescued by his mother from the woman who keeps the place. Wasted as he appears in the accompanying picture, which shows hrm after three weeks' care and nursing in the Humane society's detention home, the society workers say that he is robust comparedf with what he Was when he first came to them. j. "Plain starvation" is the diagnosis of the case made by Dr. J.JP. Sedgr'_g^topers ,j^U.h:'-^. The ^Jfcild Can Yet Be- t^m'^jS^l^ ^Bi the three weeks that Baby Heath has been fn the *eare of the Humane society, he doctor and nur&e have fought night and-day for his life. He is-now revering from the fcWjful privations "to which he" was subjected, 'and will prob- ably ^develop into a Wealthy* boy. Neglect, insufficient and improper fodd, and unsanitary conditions are_what brought him to his present "pitiful condition. For. $2.50 a week the woman who runs the farm agreed 'to feed, lodge and Qare for Baby Heath. His mother is alone in the world and it obliged' to work at-hours which make jfr impossible for her to care for him. Alrfirst she paid fre- quent visits to th& faVhi.and all seemed well. Then sickness_came and she-was unable to visit her -child. After a protracted illness, Mrs. .Heath went to her child and was1 horrified notft. his.*condition. At Ar,st she supposed it was dis- ease which had stripped the flesh frontsthe tiny frame and replaced the dimples of her darling with the hideous wranfcles of famine. At last,^growing more, and more suspicious of the woman who had the care of her child,,she took.it from her and brought it to. the detention home/ 028 East Sixteenth street. It was ia the niek of timev Another, week and the child would have died., Revolting Conditions at "Farm.'* As soon as the case came to the attention of the Humane society, a worker was dispatched' to the baby farm. She entered the place at 5 p.m. and found the most revolting conditions. The soiled linen of the unmade-beds tainted the air of an-unventilated room. The babies were unkempt and unclean. The prop- prietor of the den was a gaunt woman with no suggestion of motherly tenderness in her face or bearing. There was no sign that she took the slightest interest in the health or comfort of'the helpless infants at her mercy. J, Three babies have died in this sinkhole this fall, according to Humane so- ciety reports. The woman, holds a license to board six babies and is supposed to be under health department supervision. The case has been reported to the de- partment and the promise has been given that the license will be revoked, if an investigation shows improper conditions. But Baby Heath is safely away and will grow to-manhood, perhaps with a constitution undermined by his slow starvation, but oblivious of the ordeal of suffering thru which he has passed. Wfiij-..
