The light of truth and fact seems
to have penetrated the intellectuals
of the Des Moines Register. After
long period of hankering after Cana
dian reciprocity, after having en-
ployed many columns Of editorial
space in urging a wide open policy Of
free trade in articles which can be
produced more cheaply in Canada than
in the United States, the Register at
last sees the situation as 1t Is and
concludes that Canadian reciprocity
is an impossibility under present con-
ditlons. Undoubtedly. For more than
two years past these conditions have
been perfectly obvious to those who
opened their eyes to see. Repeatedly
1t has been pointed out by the OPP
ponents Of competitive reciprocity
that Canada did not want and would
not consent to any trade arrangement
other than the free interchange OF
natural products; that Canada was
bent upon building up her own indus
tries and not upon crushing them by
inviting increased competition from
the United States; that reciprocity
in natural products only was not to
be thought Of unless the Republican
party was prepared to take the conse-
quences Of depriving the farmers of
the United States of the direct bene-
fits which they now derive from the
tariff on competitive agricultural prod
ucts; that, In short, Canadian reci-
proclty was a closed book. All this
has been pointed out over and over
again. It is. the absolute truth and
once It is fully grasped and under
stood as such we shall hear no more
about Republican dissension on that

question, and those who continue to
agitate for reciprocity with Canada
will have to deal with the Democratic
party, which is always ready to at
tack and undermine protection.
1t is, to be sure, an eleventh-hour
conversion In the case Of the Des
Molnes Register, this final abandon
ment of the chase after the pot Of gold
at the foot of the Canadian reclproc-
ity rainbow, but none the less well
come on that account.
In recent editorial the Register
says:
col. Raymond has recently been in
Cenada, and his report Of sentiment
as he found II, confirms the report
Gov. Cummins recently brought from
the North. Canada is not at all So
licitous for reciprocity with the
United States, further than to get
market here for Canadian farm prod
uce, which this country has always
refused to consider unless accompan.
led by substantial concessions to
American manufactures. which Can
ada will never make. Canada is to-
day firmly welded to the high tariff
idea as against American trade, and is
steadily raising the barriers to pro-
tect Canadian manufactures. Canada
has seen that a high tariff is forcing
American capital across the border.
and on that account also will insist
upon It.
"The manufacturers OF Massachu-
sets and New England believe they
can secure more favorable admission
into the Canadian market for their cot
ton and wool goods. but there is not
the slightest indication that they can.
Canada will not now nor
at any time while the Chamberlain
preferential trade program is alive, or
while the prospect Of developing home
industries adequate to the home
needs is bright, allow the United
States to enter the Canadian market
on any but the most unfavorable
terms. The opportunity to monopo,

went ten years ago"

AIIurino Models in Fall Wraps.

There can hardly be said to be any
distinct fashions for either house
dresses or ball gowns for the autumn
months, but rather advance winter
styles are worn for what few informal
affairs there are during the day-and,
needless to state, ball is almost as
unheard of in October as is snow
storm in August. 1t is then more
with outdoor costumes-tailor suits,
cloaks, wraps and hats-that one has
to deal at this time of year, and most
alluring are all the models in long
coats and jackets now to be procured.
This year the separate wrap forms
more than ever an all important part
of a complete outfit, and three, four,
FIVE or more handsome wraps are con-
sidered by no means an unnecessary
or extravagant number OF expensive
cloaks to be possessed at once. One
reason for this is that the gowns to-
day are made up in such bright and
varied colors that the wrap must either
tone in most perfectly with some color
scheme employed or else match exact
ly the shade Of the dress. White
cloaks are still smart, but are not seen
in such numbers-for which we should
really be thankful-as last year. A
dark red, cream or handsome black
peau de sole or brocade cloak can also
be worn with a quantity of different
shades; but as can easily be seen one
tires very shortly Of an all white or
all black wrap unless there be some
garments with which it may be worn

all, impracticable, undesirable and
worthless, because 1t would not gain
for Massachusetts manufacturers a
dollars worth of new markets Cor
their wares, while it would be morally
certain to dissolve and disrupt the
more than seven years between the
protected farmers of the agricultural
west and the protected manufacturers
of industrial New England; and, Sec
ond, because the scheme Of reciproc-
ity that is being promoted by Foss
and his free trade coadJutors is in
direct conflict with the sound Re.
publican doctrine, set forth in the ma.
tional platform of 1904, that there
shall be no reciprocity that involves
injury to "any American industry or
to American agriculture The best
thing to do with the reciprocity Chi
mera is to tell the truth about it.
The truth is that the dream Of Cana
dian reciprocity is now, and while
the Republican party remains in con-
troll of national affairs must continue
to be, utterly hopeless Of realization.
They understand it that way in Iowa,
Now let Massachusetts follow suit
and recognize the obvious and the
inevitable.

The President and Peace.

Baron d'Estournelles de Constant
does not seem to regard the president
as a reckless and hamboyant war
lord" On the contrary, he speaks
feelingly of "the grand and decisive
services rendered to the cause of In.
ternational arbitration by the United
States, and particularly by President
Roosevelt" What were those services?
The baron tells and he scarcely
claims too much when he says that he
knows the facts better than any one
else. Certainly he should know them
as we'll as any one in the world. "The
court at The Hague" he says, stood
deserted, abandoned and ridlculed
until the day when he president

ity and foresight to save 1t. That
act alone has entitled him to the
thanks of all Europe for his pacific
and liberal spirit"
That Is a remarkable tribute to be
paid to war lord" who is. according
to his partisan critics, going about
with chip on each shoulder and
bullying and browbeatlng every one
with whom he comes in contact, and
is ready at any moment to embroll the
world in war for the sake of personal
prestige or for sheer lust of blood.
Yet he would be rash who should
deny the authority Of this speaker or
the exact truth Of his words.-New

Bows for young girls and hair orna-

in size. Little girls wear two large
bows, one on the top of the hair,
where it is drawn to a pompadour, and
one at the nape of the neck. Butterfly
bows which require yard at least are
in high favor, and Alsatian effects are
worn by older girls who have plenty of
hair. Sprays of flowers developed
from chiffon make pretty ornament

Rsduolna the MILITARY Force.

AS some of President Roosevelt's
critics claim to have discovered, after
reading his letter of acceptance. that
while he is peaceful enough now he
is preparing for war, it may be inter
esting to call their attention to the
fact that the army, so DIR from being
increased, is of less strength than it
was the summer before he succeeded
to the presidency. The actual strength
of the regular army, including the
hospital corps, the Porto Rico regi-
ment and the Philippine scouts, was,
June 80, 1901, 2,940 officers and 1886
enlisted men; total. S1,5S6. At the
close Of the last fiscal year, June 80,
1904, it was estimated at 1886.
Though this is an estimate, it is not
likely that the completed returns will
materially change these figures. For
man who is preparing for war the
president is following most peculiar
