President Taft has publicly
thanked the Democrats in the
House and Senate for their hearty
support Of the reciprocity bill,
without whom the bill would
never have passed through Con
gress.
1t is very unusual honor for
Democrats to receive thanks from
a Republican executive, and it
simply shows that i'll measures
intended for the relief of the
American people that we must
look to the Democrats in congress
for aid, and not to the republi-
cans.
The reciprocity measure, how
ever, is only one step in the right
direction, for it let's in live stock
from Canada, but it does not let
in Canada's dressed meat, there
by protecting the great beef
trusts. 1t let's in Canadian grain
but it does not let in Canadian
-four, thereby protecting the great
mill trusts, and there are several
other features of discrimination
contained in the bill, which was
framed by President Taft, and
never amended in Congress.

The reciprocity bill, the pas
sage of which was the sole pur-
pose of President Taft in calling
Congress together in extra ses-
sion, has been disposed of and
will become a law as soon as the
Canadian Parliment approves the
same. Only a small portion of
the reciprocity agreement is in
operation as yet and that portion
which is now operative relates to
wood pulp which Canada produ-
ces. This, however, will give them
relief from the white paper trust
which has had the price right up
to the top notch. Canada has
now entered upon a campaign for
the election of new parliment

BEAUTIFUL MIRAGE
Witnessed by Party While Enroute 10
Ozan
Ozan

No pen can describe, not even
an artist could give feint concep.
tion of the beauty and grandeur
Of a sunset view witnessed by
L. F. Monroe, J. E. Gold, A. W.
Morrow and the writer. last Sat
urday evening on Our way from
Washington to Ozan,
| first called the attention of
the party to the many outlines
of animals to be seen in a long
dark shaggy cloud hanging about
ten degrees above the western
horizon. The sun had just plung
ed into the vault of the west and
the full round moon was emerg-
ing from the gilded gates of the
east. While observing the many
forms of beings outlined in this
dark shaggy el5pd, Whic h fcsem-
bled the eyebrows of a dying
man, all at once a beautiful
mirage appeared just below the
long shaggy cloud.
The clouds became at once
translucent and the whole vault
of the west was transmogrifie d
and metamorphosed into a beau
tiful mirage which spread out
before US like a golden sea.
J. E. Gold was the first to call
attention to the peculiar greenish
cast of the clouds, at once saw
the picture of beautiful sea and
so expressed myself, the whole
party saw it almost instantly, and
such a scene we shall never see
this side of the peafly gates Of
Heaven. The sky appeared at
once to spread out on a level a
little below us and extending
back for miles, while the long
dark cloud assumed the perfect
appearance of a range of noun.
tains and the sky between us and
the cloud, or rather below the
cloud, assumed the perfect form
of a beautiful sea Of water. The
1sssz<ses i4fs.tt Z ~ oeIio 70 VIII
in a mile of us and the sea spread
out for miles, studded with nu
merous islands and bordered with
a selvege of golden sand, while
the canopy of the heavens seemed
to cast it's blue dome far beyond
the clouds, which appeared as
mountains.
This beautiful scene lasted long
after the little stars had put
forth so far above the reach of
human kin, and night had spread
her sable curtains over the land.
While looking at this beautiful
scene we sang Lead Kindly
Light" and Nearer My God To
Thee" and the fact fingered in
our minds that,
beyond the sunset radient glow
There is a brighter world know.
