Reciprocity and Common Sense.

The people of the United States are
ambitious to trade over a large area
If they had part rol OF in the trade
affairs Of the whole OF the British en-
pire, It would be their interest to help
maintain the empire in its integrity.
I believe that the beginning of this
much desired end Is a trade alliance
between the United States and the
Dominion Of Canada We have our
selves seen the benefit of free and un-
restricted trade owe IN area of three
million square miles. II Canada be
joined with us we shall have a trade
rea Of six million square miles. II
the British empire were added, we
should have a trading area of fourteen
or fifteen million square miles. 1t is
likely, also, that other countries of Eu-
rope would be glad to Join such an al
lance, the beneficial effects of which
can, perhaps, be better imagined than
described.
If the people of Canada are now pre-
pared to cooperate with the people
of the United States in bringing about
such a condition as that l have men
toned, they will not only do them
selves material benefit, but they will
likewise be benefactors Of the human
race.
OF course. the first step In this d.
rection must be taken by the people of
the United States. I trust that the
public sentiment of the people Of this
country will favor a movement In this
direction at an early day; the sooner
the better, in my Judgment, And II
friendly trade relations could be estab-
lished between the United States and
Canada and the United Kingdom, It
would conduce to the benefit Of all
concerned and promote the peace OF
the world.-Henry NJ. Whitney. in At
lantic Monthly.

For Senators by Direct Vote.

The Democratic national platforms
Of 1900, 1904 and 1908 each contained
q declaration in favor of the cleo
uon of United States senators by d.
rect vote of the people. That pub
lie sentiment in support Of this pro-
Iect has been steadily growing in the
past ten years is undeniable. In the
next Congress the house of repre-
ventatives will be fully in the control
Of the Democrats, and the senate will
be so constituted that a majority car
be easily commanded by them upon
any proposition which could have the
support Of the progressive wing of the
Republicans. OF course, a majority
Is not two-thirds, but the time will
NIT to the states a constitutional
amendment providing for the direct
election of senators by the people will
be in all way opportune. Indeed, If
the amendment were put forward by
the Democrats, the Republicans in the
senate could not oppose it without
furnishing to the other side a very
acceptable bit Of campaign material
for the impending presidential cam
paign. Campaign pledges, the merit
Of the case, and calculations Of party
expediency, therefore, all conspire to
point to this move as part of the
coming program Of the Democratic
party. In the meanwhile, 1t is not
untimely to mention that the Roches-
tor platform declared for popular cleo
ton Of senators, and that the party
has an opportunity Of acting in the
spirit Vt that declaration without
waiting for a constitutional amend.

JERSEYMAN AND A SHADOW
OrInks Too Deeply. at FountaIns Of
Republican s~peIIblnders and
Files In Terror.

A New Jersey Republican, discour'
aged by the elections result, e1ver.

nounces his purpose Of spending some
years in England. In his opinion. the
people of this country are booked for
parlous times in the near future,
He sees the triumphant party tinker
ing with the tariff" upsetting business
and throwing things generally into
confusion. He will flee from the
storm, and remain abroad until 1t Is
over and calm once more reigns In
America.
Evidently here is a man who during
the campaign drank too deeply at the
fountains of his party's spellbinders.
He accepted all they said too literal
ly and seriously. He probably lacks
experience in practical politics. Spell
binding is a recognized industry, and
NJ party could afford to do without it;
but even in its best estate its predic-
tions and maledictions about the
other side must, for safety's sake. be
literally discounted by the rejecting.
In its worst estate it's appeal is al
most exclusively to the nervous and
the gullible.
If the Democratic party were to in
augurate it's control Of the next house
by the introduction Of such a tariff
measure as the Republican stumpers
have described, or, for that matter
as would logically grow out Of the de
liverances of some of the Democratic
leaders in times past, there might be
such a commotion in the business
world as this Jerseyman fears. A
proposition, supported by Democratic
votes, razing all customs houses leve

this week packing his goods to move to
Des Moines, where he goes to practice
his profession He will enter partner
ship with DR.. West, and they will open
an Office in the Fleming building. Dr.

in whom the town has just pride. After
graduating from Iowa College, at Grin
nell, he went to Johns Hopkins Univers-

Trying To Defeat Cosson.

A Des Moines correspondent has the
followin z concerning a determined effort
that is being made to defeat Geo. Cos
son for Attorney General:
George Cosson, nominee for attorney
general, has opened his campaign for
election with red hot speech ON law
enforcement. CossOn has the liberal
element scared and that class of voters
will scratch him to a man. If there is
a democratic landslide it will be hard
for Cosson to be elected for he will be
cut so much in river cities that he will
run far behind the other nominees on
the state ticket and it behooves those
who are friends of good, clean govern
ment to be up and doing for there is a
strong organization all over the state
that has only one purpose, and that is
the defeat of Cosson. That organization
will accomplish much, so there must be
something done to awaken the voters.

OBITUARY OF Mr.. FREEMAN
Edmund Henry Freeman was born
near Audubon, Iowa, Nov. IL, 1874, and
passed away at Glenwood, Iowa, Sat
urday Sept. "a, 1910, aged 35 years,
10 months and ID days From early
youth his inclination was toward that
of being an electrician. He fitted him
self for this profession, and followed it
for nearly ID years. June II, 1896, he
was united in marriage with Miss Flora
b. Wilson. To this union were born
two children, a son and daughter, both
of whom preceded the father to the
spirit world in infancy. Mr.. Freeman
began to fail in health about five years
ago, being afflicted with heart trouble.
Believing that change in climate
would be beneficial to him, the family
moved to Scotland, South Dakota, in
1906, and resided there until last Feb
ruary, when they returned to Audubon
Iowa. He was an efficient member of
the fire department in this place, and
could always be depended upon as being
careful and thoughtful while thus en-
gagged. He was an affectionate husband
kind and loving brother, and friendly
with all whom he met in his daily life
