MADE
AN HONEST MAN
One of the Most Remarkable Triumphs
of Art of Surgery Comes
to Fruition.

Albany, n. Y, Feb. l0.--The state
parole board at its meeting at Clinton
prison yesterday paroled Edward f.
Gremmell, whom surgery is supposed to
have transferred from a criminal to a
normal man
Sentenced from Buffalo in April, 1905,
for forgery for a term of nine years
and six months, Gremmell's sentence
was committed by Governor White SO
as to make possible parole this month.
When a boy of fourteen, during a
quarrel with a playmate, Gremmell suf-
fered a fractured skull.
Following this, he claimed he could
not resist the impulse TO commit crime
and several convictions followed.
The case was called to the attention
of alienitss and in March, 1909, DR. De-
witt g. Wilcox of Boston university
operated on the eonviet's skull, after he
had expressed desire 10 lead an up

there will be no more Indigestion, no
feeling like lump of lead in the stom-

ABOUT FARMER PROTESTS"
Belief That Action of Representatives
Doesn't Indicate Farmers Opinions,

Washington, Feb. l0-Friends Of Ca
madam reciprocity are beginning to
punch holes in some Of the farmer pro-
tests" with which Congress is being
flooded Just now, and in some quarters
the assertion is made that supporters
of Senator Lorimer. angered by the in
terest shown by the president in the
Lorimer case, are trying TO get even
with Mr. Taft by blocking his reciprocity
legislation bit Of Senate gossip yes
terday was that the recent meeting in
New York of half dozen officers Of
the national grange and their memorial
to Congress opposing reciprocity pur-
porting to represent a million members
was engineered by Edward Hines of Chi
cage, a lumberman and also leading
lobbyist for Lorimer II is certain that
many senators refuse to accept as con.
elusive Of farming opinion throughout
the country kilograms rushed ON to
Washington by officers of local or even
national organizations without consulta-
tion with their membership. At its
meeting in Atlantic City in 1910, the
national grange scored the PAYNE Aldrich
tariff and, among other things, resolved:
That we favor the negotiation of
commercial treaties that will open UP
new markets for American products and
do away with tariff wars which now
shut farm products out Of many foreign
countries"

portance of getting this great national
policy established. As a matter OF fact,
IL viii be found that the objection to a
few scattered items is not sound, for
this il matter of agreement and mu-
tual concessions are necessary. Even so,
our government has done surprisingly
well in the concessions it has secured.
If the agreement is enacted into law
and proves beneficial to the nation as a
whole, it is certain to be extended as
time goes on and the two peoples ex.
perience its good effect, If, on the other
hand il should prove harmful to the
nation as whole, it could end would
be repealed quickly,
Every element of the situation is an
unanswerable argument for intimate
trade relations with Canada. These ele-
ments are peculiar. They exist only and
exclusively as to Canada and the United
States. Therefore they require policy
as different as that which we apply to
other countries as those unique eondi-
tions affecting Canada and ourselves are
different from those affecting other coun-
tries and ourselves"
In later connection Mr.. Beveridge
said: 1--WE do not need to protect our
people from the Canadian people, What
we need is to make it easy for Canada
to freely buy from us the things she
needs and that we produce, instead OF
making it hard for Canada to do so.
What we need is TO make it easy for
our people to buy from Canada those
things which our people need, instead
of making it hard for them to do So"
Argument was then presented to show
that the natural resources of Canada
might be depended upon to reduce the
cost of living in this country and to
replenish the loss suffered by the prema-
ture destruction of American resources.
After undertaking to demonstrate that
the objections TO the various items COW
cred in the treaty are trivial Mr.. Bev-
eridge declared them to be Of "the hop,
skip and jump variety" "But, even if
they were valid instead of groundless,"
he said, sail of them put together are
a small matter when compared with
getting this fundamental and truly ma.
tional policy established. The beginning
of the policy itself is the great and over
shadowing consideration. The beginning
of free trade relations between these
two peoples who are immediate neigh
bors and who are of one blood, language
and religion, is the large phase Of this
question"

Ways and Means Committee
Favorable
FOR THE RECIPROCITY BILL
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson Tells Of
Benefits of Reciprocity in Letter to
Grange--Sen. Beverage De-
tends Measure in Senate.

Washington, Feb l0.--The campaign
of the Taft administration and the yari-
Gus elements allied in the same cause for
the ratification by Congress OF the reel.
procity agreement with Canada moved
on apace yesterday. The House COM
mittee on ways and means had it's final
hearing and is expected in executive ses-
sion this morning to vote to report it
favorably for the consideration OF the
House.
President Taft left late last night for
the West and in speeches to-day at Co
lumbus, Ohio. and Saturday at Spring
field, Ill.,, viii take occasion to empha-
size still further his advocacy OF the
reciprocity agreement.
Secretary Wilson of the department
OF agriculture last night added his word
to the pro-reciprocity chorus, in the
form of long and forceful open letter"
addressed to the national grange.
The Democratic members Of the Sen
ste met in caucus to-day, ostensibly to
outline a program in relation to pending
legislative matters, but it is believed
the Canadian reciprocity agreement con-
sumed practically all Of the discussion.
Democratic leaders say that naturally
they would be for the agreement, but
some of their members are holding off
because of the feeling that President
Taft might be benefited politically by
its adoption by Congress. They also
hesitate TO assist in extricating the Re-
publican party from any OF its difficult
ties at the present time. The first open
voice in support of the agreement in the
Senate was heard yesterday, when SEN
ator Beverage, in a strong speech, advo
Gated its adoption.
The friends of the measure express the
belief that there is large majority Of
the House in favor of the adoption of
the measure exactly as it stands, and
who viii defeat any attempt to amend
it in any particular, when it is made
plain to them that single amendment
may defeat the whole reciprocal negotia
