4 Word for Reciprocity.

Sir Richard Cartwright. Canadian min
lister OF commerce, speaking in the Ca
madam Parliament Thursday on reclproc-
ity between that country and the United
States. paid a high compliment to Presi-
dent Taft, who, he said, did an uHpre-
cedented thing by coming more than half
way from washington TO meet the minis
Ter of another nation. He added that II
was exceptionally courteous on the part
Of this country 10 send its commissioners
10 Ottawa TO discuss amlcably the meth
DDS by which reciprocity relations could
be established The minister concluded by
saying that there are more considerations
IN this matter than mere pounds and
shinings:
81 have always been an advocate Of
Canada making herself valuable 20 the
empire by promoting friendly relations
between ourselves and the United States.
Nothing can be done by Canada which
would be One-quarter as great a service
70 the British Empire than in every way
promoting amiable and equitable rela-
tons between these two AnglO-SaXOn
powers. And I viii go still further and
say. that II there is one thing more than
another calculated 10 bring about some
thing like a condition OF general dis
armament it would be an alliance be-
tween these two great nations."
Well said. indeed This is the right
spirit for those who really are for peace
and extended commerce. But now 10
prove IT, Sir Richard wound up by say
ing that Canada had no intentions OF sac
rihcing its interests in the negotiations,
and its commissioners are 10 obtain a
quid pro quo for any concession 10 the
United States.
SO there we are. Just where we were
when the negotiations were begun, For
in order TO reach an agreement OF this
kind, either contracting party must make
some sacrifices, or else It would not be
reciprocity" The issue reduces itself 10
this one question: Are the agrarians in
Canada stronger than the government?
Sir Richard has voiced his personal feel
ings. Is he powerful enough 10 have Par
lament see matters as he sees them?
We all know what a fine thing this
reciprocity would be for both countries.
But the thing is 10 get there at lastl

Center of Population.

Such progress has been made by the
Census Bureau that an interesting study
of the growth of different sections OF
the country can be made. The statistics
at hand show that one State Qowa) has
lost, the decrease being three-tenths of
Per cent This Is due 20 the fact that
Iowa has no large cities.
Rural population is at a standstin. and
the growth IN this decade will be almost
entirely urban. With this condition, the
center OF population. which in 1900 was
six miles southeast OF Columbus. Ind.
VIII be found practically unchanged. And
there is a possibility that for the first
time in the history OF the nation the
pendulum has swung eastward.
Every census enumeration since 1890
has shown westward progress. ranging
from eighty-one miles. the gain made in
lS6o-7o. down 10 fourteen miles. made in
the 1S9o-iso0 decade.
The population OF sixteen States has
been announced. including several Of the
largest. or those announced, the increase
east OF Indiana totals more than
8.5OoOOO. while the Western States thus
far given out show a total Increase Of
only 100000. While the East has New
York and Massachusetts, which show the
largest total gains. Texas and California
have not been reported. and these two
States viii no doubt counterbalance New
York.
In every State thus Tar announced the
largest cities have increased at a greater
rate than has the state as whole.
Should there be any exception. It viii
probably be Maryland, for Baltimore's
Increase was only 81 per cent. and It
is possible that the state Of Maryland

though Delaware. neighboring State
increased a fraction less than dId the
city OF Baltimore.
Leaving out OF consideration Arizona
and New Mexico. the most remarkable
gain IS found in Florida. which increased
more than ~ per cent, due in part to
the large increase Of Tampa. which has
a percentage OF 14s, and Jacksonville with

New York is 1.s4ooOO while the increase
OF the city of New York alone IS 10000.
Boston and Massachusetts have almost
the same increase, but the growth of
the State at large is due to the rapid
increase IN the manufacturing eenters,
which also accounts for the gain OF more
than &c per cent in the population OF
Rhode Island.
The total growth Of the State OF Ala
bama IS a little more than 10000. while
that OF the city OF Birmingham Is nearly
100.0o0. and that or Mobile and Mont
gomery combined is more than 2OOD0.
which also tends 10 show that the growth
in the South. as well as in the North, IS
urban rather than rural: and this tend
ency toward congestion in population is
accumulated 20 a greater degree than was
ever shown in previous enumerations.

show the East stronger than the West,
and New York, as a commanding hgure
in national politics. VIII have lost none
Of the prestige OF quantity. While some
OF the Western States VIII gain. many
viii only hold their own or lose. and the
gains IN the South VIII no doubt be
overbalanced by those in the New Eng
land and Eastern States.

POLITICAL VIEWS.
A New Roosevelt.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Grhnness has given place 90 geniality.
Taciturnity is followed by chattiness.
The great Roosevelt smile once moro APP
pears, and a nation basks in its comfort
able warmth.
The loud and minatory Roosevelt of the
campaign and the GUM recluse or the
days that followed tho campaign were
one and the same. The second mood fol-
lowed the first as effect Invariably fol-
lows logical cause. The toothsome smile
had vanished and the ursine handclasp
was but a memory. Achilles sulked in
bis tent
But, like his Hellenic prototype, the
Sycamore hero is ready TO sally forth
once more and avenge the slaughter of
his Patroclus Stimson. He is ready 10
bind on his armor and bring bitter grief
10 the temporarily triumphant foe.

No one seriously imagined that the

He is not that kind of a man. He is

The nation is not sorry that the colonel
is ready 70 talk again.

OPENING Of
NEW STREETS
And Their Improvement Put Up
to Council-Halt Called on
w. o. Botch Work.

The village council met in special
session last Tuesday night, with all
members present and Mayor Kenney
presiding.
Mayor Kenney stated that the first
object of the meeting was to open up
and fix some streets in the west end of
town. Solicitor Johnson and Council
man Winkeljohan spoke in regard the
improvement, but no final action was
taken.
Mayor Kenney then spoke of the con-
ditiOn of the Lake Erie 81 Western
crossing into Mercelina Park and be-
lieved some action towards getting the
crossing properly fixed up should be
had. The clerk was instructed to no.
tify the Lake Erie to build a new cross
ing and sidewalks in line with an east
erly extension of East Warren street,
which now enters directly into the park.
The question of the way the Western
Ohio was patching up East Market
street was discussed, and it is likely
the company will be ordered to go over
the botched-up work they are now do
ing. Councilman Meyer will also
present, at the next meeting of conucil,
motion ordering the traction line to
clean up the street between their tracks
or pay the town for doing this work.
