RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.

Everybody Wants H. According 20
Lodge, Yet the Republicans Refuse
10 Vote for Il.
According TO Senator Lodge. every
body is for reciprocity. The Repub-
lican platform is for It, II 1t will not
irjure amy" American industry. Pres
ident Roosevelt is for II, Lodge is for
It, at least he says he is, $3.50 the
Democrats are for It. But unfortu-
nately for Senator Lodge the business
men of Massachusetts,, thirty or forty
thousand of them, do not believe that
the pledge in the Republican platform
for reciprocity will be redeemed, so
they have entered upon a campaign
10 enforce It, and are demanding
pledges from candidates for Congress
and members of the legislature who
will have the selection of a successor
TO Senator Lodge, that they will vote.
for reciprocity with Canada without
"eny" ifs or ands.
Senator Lodge declares that this
Canadian Reciprocity campaign is all
trick Of the Democrats to divide and
defeat the Republicans. But the Re.
publican leaders of the propaganda
show plainly that Senator Lodge has
only himself TO blame for this upris-
Ing against him, for they point to the
fact that he and the ether members
of the Foreign Relations Committee
Of the United States Senate have had
a number Of reciprocity treaties, that
we're negotiated by President McKin-
ley. before them for the past three
years, which Senator Lodge and the
Republican Senators have refused to
r5tify.
They may all be in favor of reel
procity, but they have all failed to en-
force It. They favor" reciprocity,
but refuse to reciprocate on any
terms. That is why the business men
of Massachusetts are after Senator
Lodge and the rest Of the Republi-
can members of Congress with a
sharp stick without evidently caring
whether they create divisions in the
Republican party" or separate the
Senators and Representatives from
the President" which Senator Lodge
says they are doing.
1t is unkind Of these business men
to raise this important question on
the eve Of presidential election,
why cannot they allow the matter to
rest, even If they do see their bust.
ress declining and trust to Lodge and
Republican promises to keep their
leads above water. II they are OBJ.
stinRte and persist in their willful
course they will pull down the sacred
temple of protection and the trusts
will have no shelter.

and Robbed Of His Wagon.

ST. Louis: william Yoekel, a farmer
living at Suffer. Mo-. was held up and
shot by three highwaymen just west
of Roth's Grove, at about o'clock
Thursday night. He was taken to st.
Luke's Hospital. His condition is pro
nounced serious.
According to Yoekel's story he was
driving along Olive street road with a
load OF peaches, and when within a
short distance of Roth's Grove, at a
place where tie road is obscured by
high weeds on each side. three men
stepped out Of a clump of bushes and
ordered him to stop.
He did so, and was further ordered
to get off the wagon. Pistols were lev
eled at him, end he started to comply
with the order. As he climbed to the
ground, he asserts, one of the men,
who was at that time standing behind
him, fred, the ball taking effect in
the small of his back.
He fell at the side of the roaf and
was picked up some time later by
William Heaps, who heard him groan-
ing as he was passing the place where
the shooting occurred.
He informed William Roth at Roth's
Grove and the wounded man was taxi
en- there. Later he was taken to st.
Luke's Hospital.
The highwaymen have not been cap
tured.
1t is said that they mounted the
wagon when Yoekel fell and drove
away in the opposite direction from
that which the farmer was going. The
wagon was full of peaches, which Voc
kel was taking to st. Louis to market.

CITY OF ST. LOUIS COLLECTS
OVER $2,30O,00o
Payment Of Taxes for Current Year
opens with Unprecedented Rush.

81. Louis: More than one-fourth OF
the taxes due the city for 1904 were
paid TO Revenue Collector l.. f. Ham
mer, Jr., Thursday, the first day OF
collection. The total amount paid be
tween a. m. was S2.302.O71.21. This
exceeded the collections on September
!, 1903, by 1894, 172.75.
During the day Collector Hammers
assistants handled 6410 tax bills. The
office force began work at o'clock,
preparing for the rush, and worked till
late this morning Three times during
the day deposits of over $3.50 600 we're
made at the banks The first deposit
was made at 10 a. m, two hours after
the payment of taxes began. BY spe-
cial arrangement the final deposit was
made at $3.50 in the evening.
The largest single payment was
made by the Mercantile trust company,
which handed Collector Hammer a
check for 1911, O39.S2. This company
has had a tax clerk at work at the
city hall for the last three months col
lecting and asserting bills and verify
ing assessments, in order that the pay
ment might be made without delay.
The sum represents only the taxes of
those clients of the company who wish
ed to take advantage of the discount
allowed for payment of taxes during
September.
The smallest amount paid during the
day was 43 cents. The first taxpayer
in the office was John Killes of 1900
Sidney street. Among those who fol-
lowed him closely was Prof. A. B.
Langston, principal of the Dumas
school, colored.
The first large amount entered upon
the books was s56,947O3. which was
paid by the Mechanics national bank.
Collector Hammer attributes his sue
cess in collecting such a large proper
ton of the taxes due to the extensive
advertising he has given the discount
allowed.
