Reciprocity with Canada.

Reciprocity with Canada seem about
to be realized in farm machinery as a
starter. Under section 476 of the
present American tariff law the
United States will place Canadian
made farm machinery on the free list
and the parliament about to convene
at Ottawa is expected to remove the
duty from the implements shipped by
the United States into the Dominion.
AS trade in this line now stands be-
tween the two countries this arrange
ment would benefit the Canadian
farmer far more than the American
farmer, for Canada last year bought
$2,596,410 worth of implements in the
United States. while this country i'm
ported from Canada only $s6,949
worth. But the scales are not sta
tionary there. Already for the first
seven months of the current year our
importations from Canada in this line
far exceed those for the whole Of last
year. One consignment OF Canadian
plows valued at 100000 was
recently landed in Kansas City for dis
tribution. So that the trade is rapidly
advancing.
But It Is when we consider the In
creasing volume OF Canada's exports
and imports Of all kinds that this step
as the first toward complete reciprocal
relations between the two countries
becomes most significant. Last year
Canada's total exports amounted to
t6Ss.211.221 and this year they are
mounting up so rapidly as to justify
the belief that they will reach $780,
900, 900 by the close of the year. This
represents raw and finished products
and happens to be exactly the value Of
the manufactured exports Of the United
States in one year.
One obstacle has yet to be overcome
before this arrangement on farm
machinery is entirely completed. The
United States Treasury department has
held that the separate parts Of this
machinery can be entered on the free
list, but the United States courts have
construed the terms Of the tariff law
differently. holding that these separate
parts are dutiable and not subject 10
the same terms as the machines them
selves. II is understood however, that
congress at it's coming session will cor
rect this anomaly.

A New Foot BAN Goal.

The arrest Of q college foot ball
player on the charge OF murder grow
ing out Of the death Of an opposing
player In West Virginia suggests. a
new aspect of the foot ball question,
a new goal to reach. Deaths as the
result of injuries sustained on the
gridiron have been frequent but ar
rests Of players when they seemed to
have been responsible for the misfaIl
are new.
In the case at hand the testimony
might lead to the belief that the youth
arrested deliberately dealt the blow
that caused the death. In such case
It would be dihicult to distinguish be-
tween this and any other act Of muir
der, less than first degree. If the tes-
timony Of the umpire may be relied
on-and he is an attorney-the blow
was not only avoidable, II was entirely
wanton, and as soon as 1t was dealt
caused the expulsion from the field OF
the player, even before the seriousness
Of the injury became known.
1t is not necessary to determine AS
merits of this particular case to de.
clare that 1t ought to bring about q
real reform in the game that would
abolish such deadly tactics and bal
every man who would resort to them
Some influence outside Of foot bal
must take a hand in its regulation
since those inside the game have failed
Of a duty committed to them. II Il
cannot be made harmless We can YER!
we'll AFFORD 70 sacrifice this game as 4
is being played by many, for such ex
hibitlons Of animal brutality form n
part Of manliness and sdd nothing de
slrable 70 sturdy character.

There IS always a strain to sadness in
the contemplation of the boy crater. One
knows that he must still learn that the
cheering OF a crowd is as dead sea fruit,
which bears rosy aspects to the eye, but
turns to ashes in the final test. Colonel

Oh, You Foes from Within.

and inspiring gem which we take from
the Chicago Examiner:
OMAHA, Neb., November II, 1910.
The Chicago Examiner, Chicago, ILL.,. I
desire to express my sincere appreciation
Of the splendid work done by the Chicago
Examiner in it's efforts to bring victory in
Nebraska. Deserted in it's hour of need by

someone to whom "Jlm" is deeply
grateful. Congressman Hitchcock in
his post-election pronouncement de-
clared that his only regret was that
Mayor "Jim" also was not carried
along to victory. But up to date the
late democratic candidate for gov
ernor has not made a contribution to
Mr.. Hitchcock's World-Herald like this

Ignoring Mr.. Rrrnn.

As the FIRST step toward reorganiz-
ing the democratic party the Baltimore
Sun, a paper Of the anti-Bryan variety,
proposes that conference OF the
leading conservative democrats Of
the nation be held in Baltimore next
January ito formulate a national pol
icy and plan Of campaign OF the party. ."
Il has obtained the consent OF Mary
lands governor, United States sena-
tors and two democratic congressman
to act as a committee to forward the
project, giving Maryland a seasonably
fair representation.
Obviously Mr. Bryan and his isms
are to have no part or place in democ-
racys rehabilitation. But that is nat
ural, for they have had their chance,
a chance that lasted for fourteen years,
during which the party met only de-
feat and came at last to what for a
time looked like hopeless disorganiza-
ton. It's present temporary revival
can by no fair reasoning be construed
into a vindication OF victory Of Bryan
or Organism, but, on the contrary, 1t
is q sad commentary on the incoher-
ency Of his following, II not Fat re-
pudlation OF him and his leadership.
The victory was achieved without his
laid or consent" and the singular and
significant feature of It all is that 1t
was achieved as soon 40 Mr.. Bryan
was eliminated from the limelight.
It may be argued. on the other hand,
that the victory Of the democrats is no
positive endorsement Of the conserva-
tives, and we believe this is true, but
nevertheless It happens that It is the
conservative candidates who have rid
den into ONCE on the crest of this
periodical tidal wave and it will be the
conservatives, so-called, at least the
anti-Bryan men, who win seize the
reins and drive on with the old rig.
Whatever reorganizing is done will be
done by them, and IL "to the victor be-
long the spoils," II Is but fair,
But the reorganization Of the dem
ocratic party, it's future leadership, the
policies it adopts and even it's recent
victory, all alike are secondary in
point OF interest to the question
whether Mr. Bryan can be safely ig-
nored. True, one by one his para
mount issues have been repudiated and
three times he has gone down in per
sonal defeat with them. His Phoenix.

cur on February a. General Davis. who

Of the corps, next to General Davis. Col
onel Crowder has been spoken of in con-
nection with a vacancy in the list of gen

would be appointed a brigadier general
some time ago. Colonel Crowders appoint
ment as judge advocate general will serve

on duty as judge advocate Of the Depart
ment Of the East and Major John Biddle

leave a vacancy in the grade of major and

senator, Colonel Lafayette Young, edi-
tor of the Des Molnes Capital, who has
succeeded by appointment to the va
csncy created by the death of the late

these congratulations entirely aside
from any consideration of which fac
ton Of the republican party is recog-
nized by the selection of Colonel Young
for this high honor. Even those who
may question the new senator's pro-
gressiveness will not question his abil-

taken blows in the conflict, accumu-

tined to represent Iowa in the senate
for only sixty days, or for twice six
years, he will surely be credit to the
