Reciprocal League Warns the
Republicans
CHAIRMAN SEES DANGER
OF Loss Of House Of Representatives
Farmers Want the German Trade
continued-other Items Of In
terest.

Washington, Feb. 12.--A. Fl. Sanders,
chairman oil the American Reciprocal
Tariff League, with headquarters in
Chicago, who talked with the President
and the Republican leaders in Congress
Saturday, says that unless something
is done at this session Of Congress to
avert a tariff war with Germany, the
Republicans win be in danger of Nosng
the next HOUSE OF Representatives. Il
am a Republican, said he to the Tran
scrip correspondent, "but | know the
sentiment throughout the West, and am
prepared to say that Congress must take
action a this session, or bring on poll
teal conditions that will be disastrous.
The farmers were never more aroused
than they are now over thep respect
of losing the German market after
March Il They realize that the new
German duties are prohibitory so far
as meats and cereals are concerned.
Every farmers convention held this win
ter from Pittsbng to Denver has adopt.
cd resolutions demanding action at this
session Of Congress. They do not in.
tend to take no for an answer. Up TO
this time the question has been kept out
Of politics, but unless action is taken,
lit vii be made political question. No
one in the West fayors the enactment
Of retaliatory legislation such as that
suggested by Representative Mr..
| Cleary's bill Our organization does not
believe Congress would dare enact such
legislation in the face Of public senti-
ment existing ii two thirds Of this coun-
try. Our league still believes that in
principle the reciprocity treaty affords
the solution of the problem, but we real.
lie That such a treaty could not be rati-
fed. and 50 we favor maximum and
minimum tariffs law making the
Dingley rates the maximum rates and
the minimum rates perhaps twenty-five
per cent under these. We recognize that
we cannot get proper concessions from
Germany, or any other European coun-
try, unless we give something in return;
We must be prepared to surrender some
thing. Our league has reason to believe
that If this country would cease to ap.
ply the sanitary restrictions which now
keep much OF our meat products out of
that country. We believe that Congress
could at this session enact a tariff pro-
vision that will open the markets Of
Germany to $l50,000000 of American
meats annually. At present we are
selling that country about SOS, 900, 900
worth OF meats. After March ! we
hsall not be selling q dollars worth"
Mr. Sanders said the league is now
thoroughly organized in most of the Cen
trail West and Far West States, and is
bound to make its plea heard.

BOTH FOOD

We like best to call SCOTS
Emulsion a food-medicine. 1t
is a term that aptly describes
the character and action Of
our Emulsion. More than a
medicine--more than a food,
yet combining the vital prin-
ciples Of both. It is for this
reason that SCOTS Emulsion
has a distinct and special
value in all wasting diseases.
There is nothing better to
remedy the troubles of inn
perfect growth and delicate

Of SCOTS Emulsion is just as
effective IN treating weak

BosweIPs johnson" Other interests Of COURSE
entered into Hills life, but nothing counts
therein quite as his Johnsonian labors count
These had their source in enthusiasm for
the great man that he early developed. and as
time went on he was more and more absorbed
in them, until they reached a climax in the
publication of his edition OF Boswell: an edition
which suffers somewhat from over-annOtation.
but remains. with Hills other contributions to
the subject Indispensable to the student of
English letters.
George Birkbeck Norman Hill was the son or q
schoolmaster and was brought up to take his
fathers place at the head of what had been a
family institution since it's establishment at
Birmingham In 1902. he seems to have in
herited some of the drier traits which conven-
ton associates with the pedagogue. When he
went up to Oxford he was sadly shocked by
the frivolous practices of some of the men he
met there, and his letters home contain more
than one passage rather priggish in tone. But
there was a rich streak OF huIlor in Hill. and
when once he had begun to make the right
friendships II came TO the surface. making him
a much more agreeable personality. He began
to look at life with twinkling eye. to prick
up his ears when a joke was toward. and to be
altogether little more human. Scme OF the
lighter episodes of his experience get into his
letters after he has once walked up. Witness
his apprecative quotation of the piece o. BiblI
cal lore" which turned up day in tho Di-
vinity School:
Q.-Do you remember any OF the circumstances
that attended the ascension of Elijah to Heaven?
A.-Oh. yes. Two she-bears came out of the wood
Q.-Well, what next? A-Why, they said Go
up thou bald head Go up. thou bald head"
Q--Wen? A-And SO he went up.
At Oxford Hill fell IN with swinburne. to
whom he refers in a letter written at the time
''the little fellow" adding that he is ''the
