Canadian Reciprocity as Viewed in
Z Washington, &sHE

5 The Journals Washington correspond
:ent notes some. criticism in Wash
ington Of the movement in the northwest
for Canadian reciprocity. A western sem
iator. whose name is not given, contends
that reciprocity cannot be made an issue,
northwestern business organizations to
the contrary notwithstanding. His idea
is that, whatever is obtained in the way
of trade concessions with Canada or any
other country must be obtained through
tariff revision. 1t must, he says, come
at a time when the schedules are under
consideration and when the friends Of
reciprocity can mass their forces and COM
pei specific changes, thus accomplishing
what it is contended cannot be accom-
plished through reciprocity treaty.
The Journal is not disposed to
take issue with man who Is on. the
ground, and doubtless knows conditions
In congress thoroughly. A strong suspi~
.cion as to the identity Of this western
senator strengthens that feeling. At the
same time, we have an idea that in the
matter Of reciprocity, as in some other
things, It may be true that If you do not
ask for what you want you won't get it.
I'VE cannot believe that agitation Of Ca
madam reciprocity by business men inter-
ested will do anything but promote tariff
changes, whether accomplished by spe-
cial treaty or In some other way. .
In our judgment, the business men OF
the northwest, in agitating for Canadian
reciprocity, are doing the proper thing
This will become more apparent as the
organization grows and the interests com
prised within 1t multiply and the terri
tory covered increases It is well if Wash
ington has already begun to take notice
Of this Canadian reciprocity movement
1T has only just started Washington will
be more interested in it later on.
AS for the Suggestion that we shoul'
oppose Cuban reciprocity until we secure
Canadian, that plan does not comment
itself to our Judgment or to our sense .
right. Cuban reciprocity is an issue which
stands by itself. It is a national admin
istration policy and a moral question. Tn
national honor is involved in the case Q
Cuba Reciprocity with Canada. Franc
and other countries is a business propo
sition. tsE~rs

A notable feature Of the army appropria-
ton bill, which the house committee on
military affairs has drafted, is the pro-
vision for an increase of 81 a month in
the pay Of qualified narksn1en. Another
good feature Is the appropriation Of a
large sum of money to meet the. addi-
Itional pay granted soldiers On foreign
service. But when we observe that the
entire pay roll of the standing arrny's en-

The President Is Right.

1t is discouraging to read such a rash
and violent outbreak as that Of the New
Orlenas States regarding President Roose-
velt's action in closing the postoffice at
Indianola, Miss, because Of the enforced
resignation of Mrs. Cox, the ,colored post
master Of that village. We cannot be-
lieve that the best public opinion Of the
south agrees with the States, which goes
so far as to say that If the president. has
made up his mind ito outrage and insult
the people of the south by appointing and
keeping in office obnoxious negroes, bis
negro appointees will be killed, Just as the
negro appointees of other republican presi-
dents have been put out of the way 80.
/ President Roosevelt is the last man in
the world to desire to insult the south
the section from which his mother came
and we have no doubt that his course
with respect to Indianola has been taken
solely in consonance with. what has ap-
peared to him to be justice and the due
assertion Of the : dignity Of the federal
government. The .postmaster's bondsmen
ought to be fairly good Judges of the
situation, and though one Of them is a
democratic state senator and another a.
tor, they, had the. courage to send the
president the following message: ~ 81
|, Prompt action necessary by the% presi-
dent for the relief Of the business inter-
ests, which are being injured solely by
the action of the lawless element of the
town. Is wholly secondary to the preser-
walton Of law and order and the assertion
of the fundamental principle that this
government: will not conntve at, or toler-
ate wrong or outrage Of such fragrant
character. IT,. ~ ( 81 aa.;,sG- 5sEat
| If that statement means anything it means
that the bondsmen, themselves citizens
of Indianola. and two Of them democrats,
1.-THE government should stand by the post
master than take action designed to re-
live the business interests of Indianola-
which meant the appointment of new
postmaster. =
| Much as.We may deplore and resent it,
this race feeling In the south is a stubborn
fact with which, practical men must deal
are inclined to, think that it is unwise to
appoint negro to a postofHce in any com
munity where the appointment will not be
acceptable, but when the appointment is
of long standing the government Of the
United States cannot afford to and must
not take the position Of having beer
swerved from its purpose by what is justly
described as ''the lawless element of In
dianola or. any other town. Hotheads
may rave and congressman may plead, but
