gratuitous advertising which does

have made no promises not to call

His success is equally to the cred

ton that our neighbors in this. il

They were willing to concede to re-
quest what they would not yield to
demand, and there is great differ
ence here, which the United States
has not always recognized in our re-

Trade Troubles With Canada Ayerted.

This paper recently called atten-
ton to the possibility of impending
trouble with our Canada neighbors
over the tariff, but happily this dam
ger was ayerted by timely action by
President Taft. concerning which
the Duluth News Tribune pays de-
served tribute to our chief magls-
trate. Now if this can be followed up
with neighborly relations with our
big northern sister in the matter OF
newspaper postage. all will be we'll.
There is nothing a newspaper so
enjoys as chance to give unstinted
praise and to unleash its admiration.
Other things come as a duty. per-
haps sometimes mistaken, but to
praise without any string attached,
is genuine fun.
Such an opportunity comes in
the settlement by President Taft of
our tariff differences with Canada.
AS a diplomat he has again proved
himself par excellence. His unfail-
ing good humor, his ability to see
both sides, his fairness, his humanity
and the absence of petty jealousy
has SO often won him success in this
field that he is King Edwards riva
on this side of the world.
Zone of the strongest factors il
| Mr.. Taft's character is his rare so
cial quality. This is also one of ths
strongest factors in diplomacy. This
is especially true in our relations
with all foreign countries, wher,
social life. born Of caste. is SO mucl
a part Of governmental affairs an,
of foreign intercourse.
Mr.. Taft has succeeded wher
the formal business agents Of tn
government failed. He has prevent
ed what threatened not only the bus
mess relations Of these countries
. but what inevitably would have dc
veloped into mutual bitterness. H

Ex-President Roosevelt continues
to be the most advertised mortal on
earth, whether, he likes ID or not.
The latest sensation associated with
his journey home was the Rome in
cident last week. We don't suppose
that the Pope has had much to do
with this controversy, and it is to be
conceded that too much attention
has been stirred up about question
of etiquette that was settled to the
satisfaction of those concerned, but
unfortunately was not allowed to
rest by the sensation hungry. It has
been generally explained that the
muss arose mainly on account of the
strained relations between the Pope
and King Victor Emanuel's govern
ment. These questions of state ETH
quette make the common herd tired.
