Mr. Milne during his term of adjournment of the debate In his maiden speech, Buchanan took exception to marks made by y a the re: the possibliity of m cleavage between the east and west. He said t here wa no ground for such fears a1 Canada wagca anxipus for its owns develop: ment and consolidation. In to remarks made as to the Britieh news in western papert lack of the east for their despafeh 2s, bul news was being furnish papers the west than before. Mr. said the people: of Wester 0 Canad were-as anxious to get new of Can- ada and the Empire as the reople i the East. Dealing with the tariff Mr. Buchanan said that he member of the house because ored a low tariff policy. tmestio was be fay tariff changes. The people o thi west favored reciprocity because they bere or less. Owing to the chanse believed it was in the interests of both o government there will. of course, the east and west. The west was anx- ious. for the market of the Un must have other markets as wel 1, Be said. that it was in the west only th: merits. Had it not become mixed 4) with racial and religious questions o other provinces, people would now be enjoying the benefits of the pact. The member for Medicine Hat said that comment had been made on the American vote in the west. He would Uke to inform the house that Amer- fcans soon learn to appreciate Cana- dian institutions. Farmers who came to Ottawa from the west last year and asked for reciprocity with the United States, ahd for an increase in the British preference. Was that an evi- dence of their loyalty? They still stood for an increase in British pret-) erence. Totching briefly on the naval s- sue, Mr, Buchanan said he belleved that If the matter is referred to the People they wonld declare for Can- adian navy as proposed by the late government. He sald there had been some criticism of the late govern- ment for its neglect of the west. Wm. Welchel, who defeated Mac- Kenzie King in North Waterloo, gave the house brief speech in which he re-echoed the sentiments of W. B. Northrup, John Webster and others. The conduct of the house, he said. was amusing to a new comer. The speech of MacKenzie King, as re- ported in the Globe in which the form- er minister of laGor told the Ger- mans of the riding that the Conserva- tive policy meant the contribution of two dreadnaughts to be used by Eng- Jand for fighting Germany. I think ft is about time the gentlemen of the opposition called a halt. North W: of that kind to make them loyal. Mr. Weichel quoted results from the township of Waterloo to show that Teciprocity had not prospered in the rural districts, We in Waterloo, he said, believe in National policy which the Liberals have the good sense to keep when they came into power. The last speech of the day was made by-W. A. Buchanan of Medicine Hat Ottawa, Nov, 27.

In regard to this. all he had to say was that as mayor of Medicine Hat, he had considered ft his duty to protect the credit of the city, On the surface, the propo- sition that the council make a grant of 20,000 appeared all right, but to do 0 in violation of the provisions of the city s charter, meant that the city's bonds would be effected.

It did not seem in the best interests of the city to start all over again on these industrial propositions. If three citizens could be chosen to act with three members of the coun- cil, such a committee would be touch with everything. With two years of most active rai way building out of the city just start- ing and two or three great industries coming in, the best -possible councit would be needed to take charge of attairs and carry the city planning slong on rational Jines. The proposi- tion of changing the present water works system which was now work- tng up to Its capacity, bad been un- der consideration all year. A new feounell would be completely out of touch with the work, and money would b wasted in starting over again Then there was the electric system.

Medicine Hat bonds were sold that year at the lowest figure they had ever brought Mr. Spencer's Influence did-not seem of much strength there. Mr. Spen- cer had also been in the. council with him (Mr. Milne) for two years, but the credit could hardly be given him for all the good accomplished, after bis showing in his previous term. had a good council behind me, con- gether the city. Wrangling and muck-raking fs not a good advertisement for a city. It is the people who are the council. The people elect the coun- cil and it is up to them to choose their -representatixes. If I was elec-) ted and had with me a council which was opposed to conducting municipal affairs along systematic lines, no pro- gress would be made. Your assur- ance of my return is very encourag- ing. Private citizens haye also come to me offering their support, but the question always confronts me: who will compose the council? I can real ize more than anyone else the neces- sity of having a strong council. A I said before if this would turn out to be an acrimonious, mud slinging election, and negotiations were under way with these big industries, we would most assuredly lose them.

REPORTED TO THE NEWS INOUS CRIME RUN TO EARTH BY REPORTER TO- DAY. H (Prom Tuesday's Daily) A case of child desertion was re- ported to the News this morning by a man who lives on the east side of the city. He claimed that he was walk ing up the street early in the morning when he saw a clothes basket lying on the front doorstep of a house. This fact In itself implied nothing, but while he continued to look the front door of the house opened and a.Jady step- ped out and started to examine the 7 basket, and then to his horrow and surprise he saw her lift what he des cribed as one of the chubbiest litte babes he had ever seen out of the basket. Immediately he met a repres- entative of the News and with the air of great mystery hel mparted to him the fact that a dreadful crime had een committed, that some soulles: inhuman mother had deserted her off- spring by depositing it on the door- step of the home of a well known resi- dent of the city, . Immediately, the reporter, scenting a good story, started in to run down the cate, bis directions to the house were rather meagre, but when he did ultimately find the place and not be- ing gure of bis facts just asked the simple question if the people had heard of an infant being lost. Being told that the residents of this home had heard nothing of such a happen- ing he went away and then proceeded to run down the story.
