Reciprocity With Canada Be-
comes a Disturbing Element
In the Councils of the Massa-
chusetts Republicans.
FOSS STARTS A FIGHT.
Lodge and State Committee Are
Against Him.
Wants Delegates Elected by the
Australian Ballot.

Boston, April 15.-The interest of
the delegates to the Republican state
convention to name delegates at large
to the national convention conferred
prior to the opening of the session
today in the situation created by
Eugene Y. Foss, who heads a move
ment for reciprocity with Canada. Mr..
Foss, on this issue, was defeated as a
candidate for congress last fall, but
renewing the contest, he announced
his candidacy for delegate at large to
the Chicago convention and insisted
that reciprocity with Canada should
be recognized in the state platform.
Mr.. Foss made his plea for a reci-
procity plank yesterday before the
committee on resolutions, The result
was not satisfactory to him and he
declared he would carry the matter
before the convention. In this con-
nectiOn also he demanded that the
delegates at large. Opposed to Mr..
Foss on the reciprocity question are
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge and the
state committee, while his opponent
as candidate for delegate at large was
Colonel T. G. Benton of Belmont.
The general feeling before the con-
vention met seemed to be that Mr..
FOss would be defeated and that the
committee, Senator Lodge, former
Governor Winthrop, Mayor Crane,
former Governor John D. Long and
Colonel Benton would be Oh osen.
When the convention had been called
to order by Major Thomas Talbot, the
temporary chairman, Attorney General
Herbert Parker was introduced as per
manent chairman. Mr.. Parker made
an address which occupied an hour in
its delivery and then the platform was
presented.
With the last word of the resolu-
tons, Eugene N. F'oss arose and offer
ed a substitute for the plank relating
to Canadian reciprocity. Mr.. Foss'
resolution declared for closer and more
advantageous trade relation with Can
ada and that reciprocity relations
beneficial to both countries should pre-
ferably follow the general line OF the
removal by both countries Of the duties
on national products OF each, and such
mutual extensions of the free list and
reductions and changes o. the duties
on the manufactured products of both,
as will give to each as low a rate of
duties as is given to any other coun-
try.
In a, speech in support of his resolu-
ton Mr.. Foss declared that he offered
it as a Republican, manufacturer and
employer and as the representative of
many hundreds of million Of capital in
the commonwealth.

One quart of the red liquor seemed to

A Schlitz selling jointist can hide his
stock in trade, if given a few minutes

THE PLATFORM.
Pledges the state to Roosevelt in june
and November.

The platform declares that "our
monetary system is now on such a
satisfactory basis that men look back
in wonder and amazement when they
recall the wild vaSaries and still
wilder Democratic theories of 1896"
Approval of the administration of the
civil service laws is expressed and the
responsibilities and duties of this
country toward the people of Porto
Rico and the Philippine islands are
declared to have been met in the
most liberal and benehcent spirit.
A free and fair ballot is demanded,
which it is declared to be the duty
of the federal government to safe
Concerning the tariff the platform
insists upon the maintenance of the
protection principle. but, it continues,
I'VE recognize that particular tariff
schedules are neither sacred nor i'm
mutable. Rates of duty may be al
tered when changed conditions de-
mand their alteration, but no revision
should be undertaken unless it is
clear that the benefit will more than
compensate the inevitable disturbance
of business which attends any revision
of tariff schedules. Nor can it safely
be entrusted to any other than the
party of protection"
The principles Of reciprocity as
enunciated in the national Republican
platform of 1900 are reafirmed. on
this subject the resolutions say fur
Their:
EVERY effort to that end has hith-
erto been made by the Republican
party. Reciprocity with Canada. is a
mere phase until the concessions Of
fered on one side and demanded on
the other are stated in detail. No ad-
ministration and no party can legis-
late a mere catch into substance. The
advocates of reciprocity with Canada
should furnish details if they desire
action, always remem bering that no
trade can be a good trade unless
both parties are benefited thereby"
The administration and congress are
commended for having assured the
construction of the Panama canal. The
Sherman antitrust law under a Re
publican executive has been tested and
enforced, and the fact established
that no condition detrimental to the
public welfare can arise under a petI-
pies government that can not ne

WITH KNEES CROSSED

A medical authority has recently ut.
tered warning against the habit of sit.
ting with one knee crossed over the Other
"a pose which is nowadays almost as
common among women as among men,
says Harper's Weekly This apparently
harmless habit, it seems, is likely to cause
sciatica, lalneness, chronic numbness, as.

and other evils. The reason is simple:
The back of the knee, it is explained, as
we'll as the front of the elbow and wrist,
the groin and the armpit, contains nerves
and blood vessels which are less adequ.
ately protected than in other parts of the
body. The space behind knee contains
two large nerves, large artery, and
numerous veins and Emphatic glands.
1t is the pressure on these nerves and ves-
