The Farmers and Reciprocity.

The farmers o. the country have no
reason to oppose reciprocity with Canada,
but every reason in interest to advocate
it.
The combined trusts are making des-
perate efforts to deceive the farmer, as
they have deceived him before. They
have bamboozled some of the farmer
newspapers and bought others to advo
cate their selfish policy. They argue to
the farmer that by reason of the present
Canadian tariff he gets more than the fair
market price for his products. This is
false The Canadian tariff operates
against our farmer products. Our tariff
operates against the Canadian farmer.
1t is the object of reciprocity to give both
farmer products an even chance in both
countries. Let us see the facts:

and such a country.

"Back-to-Missouri" Movement.

Missouri is calling to her sons and
daughters who have strayed away and
are seeking their fortunes in other parts
TO come home. Missouris homecoming
movement is an extension Of the '.old
home week idea. Missouri not only asks
her wandering children TO come home,
but TO stay home. The idea, independent
of the sentiment permeating II. promises
much Industrial good to the state.
The population Of Missouri In 1910 was
3,293. 1886: as compared with the popula-
ton in 1900 OF 3.106,665 the increase for
the state during the decade was 1850.
Inquiry has determined that about 10000
people, mostly immigrants. had come into
the state during the ten years. and the
investigation showed that many Of these
after a temporary residence had passed
on, and that large numbers OF old Mis-
sourians had also moved out OF the state
This condition was particularly notice

river. 1t was decided to hold back-to'

an estimate that about $4,000 Mis-
sourians. mainly farming people. "had
been lured to other states and western
Canada by exaggerated stories of I'M
limited prosperity supposed to exist in
those places"
The newspapers of Missouri have been

products and upbuilding of the state has
been sent out and is being sent out to ex-
Missourians. Much is expected from the
homeward flow.
Many states or people in many states
have thought of calling back their wan
derers. but Missouri is at work on the
plan. If Maryland and Virginia could
call back a small proportion of their peo-
pie who have gone forth to build up other
states they would be densely populated
and more highly developed.

Coronation Honors.

King George distributes coronation hon
ors with a generous hand There has
been liberal bestowal of titles and deco
rations. perhaps surprising to those who
have been following the debates in the
parliament upon the question of the re-
duction of the legislative powers OF the
house of lords. The average Englishman,
whatever his political views. dearly loves
a lord. He likes the sound of titles. hav-
ing been accustomed for centuries to the
presence in the kingdom Of certain per-
sonages of rank, some with power over
designations to differentiate them from
the common run of humanity.
These coronation honors have no sig
nificance whatever with respect 10 the
question at issue between the liberal gov
eminent and the tory-unionist majority
in the house of lords. Only ten peerages
have been bestowed. numerically of not
the least consequence as affecting the
present blockade of legislation. which
has been only temporarily set aside from
consideration for the coronation. 1t has
been stated that il the liberal ministry de-
cides to force the so-called parliament bill
through the second chamber fully 500
new peers will have to be created, for the
purpose solely of voting down the union
ist majority.
In his distribution OF honors on occa-
sions OF celebration the English king has
usually been markedly non-partisan, be-
slowing titles equally between the two
great political divisions. In this latest in
stance il is noted that King George holds
strictly to the same policy as that Of his
predecessors, thus accentuating the diff
Guilty of his position in case it should
later be deemed necessary to force the
parliament bill through the house of lords
by the process just mentioned The pres
ent kings unprecedented attitude on po-
litical questions has already been OBJ
served, and il will be interesting to follow
his course of action in case his ministers
call upon him to create half a thousand
peers for the sole purpose of casting
votes upon a single measure which will
virtually put an end to their own careers
as legislators. A refusal to do this would,
% course. mean the immediate resigna-
ton of the ministry and a general cleo
ton would follow, with the kings course
sharply defined as the issue of the cam
paign. Thus it is possible that England
may be confronted with the necessity of
rebuking the sovereign, in case the liberal
policy Of stripping the house of lords OF
its veto power is popularity supported.

AS a matter of fact Gov. Folk has
never at any time figured prominently
in gossip about the White House. He
made an excellent district attorney, and
cleaned up St Louis in fine style. He
taught grafters and lawbreakers 4 Sc

record he was elected governor bat in

reputation. His administration was

Since then he has been heard OF
principally as a chautauqua lecturer
talking without brilliancy to summer
audiences but doing nothing to iesis-
nate him as man for a great national
emergency. He could not be lifted
into the democratic nomination for
President with the aid Of block and
tackle.
Why. then. should Missouri ignore a
strong son and adhere to weak one:

be as ineffective as was Mr.. Bryan : x

The Tariff as a Whole.

Senator Crawford. who is opposed to
Canadian reciprocity, wants the tariff
question dealt with in IFS entirety, and
Senator Bailey suggests that whole new
tariff law might he made ont OF one of
the bills the House is passing.
Suppose combination were formed Of
democratic senators and anti-reciprocity
republican senators, and a bill revising
the Payne law in its entirety passed
and sent 10 the House as a reply TO the
latter's tariff activities. What would the
House do? Examine the measure upon
its merits? Or reject or pigeon-hole IL
rs an attempt 10 queer the House pro-
gram and for a time defeat tariff re-
vision?
And what about the farmers free list
BILL Would that stand in the general
measure as it now stands as a separate
proposition And what about the wool
bill? What resemblance would Mr. Tn
6erwoods measure bear to wool sched-
uie prepared to fit a general tariff bill
drawn TO enlist the support of insurgent
republicans and tariff for -revenue-only
democrats?
What a howdy-do might, and probably
would, result If the Senate were to pro-
coed as Mr.. Crawford desires and Mr..
r ley suggests, What a confusion Of
tongues would AT once be heard. What
q reassessment of political, and especially
presidential values would become nee
essary. Which booms now booming would
be helped? Which injured? From what
quarters might new booms be expected?
TIE time for the consideration of this
matter was al the start: and what the
democrats then decided must of course
stand II is too late to turn back, or
take new course to the right or the left.
IL might have been better for Mr.. Tn
derwood and his friends TO pass the reci-
proclty bill and then proceed to draw a
bill revising the Payne law as whole.
That, in effect, was what they promised
in last years campaign. But they chose
the schedule-by-schedule plan, and must
abide by it, for better or FOR worse.
For time tariff revision necessarily is
halted. Had the republicans won in No
vember. some inequalities in the Payne
law might have been corrected by the
present Congress. Such victory would
not have carried an unqualified indorse-
ment OF the revision of 1909. The Presi-
dent did not like the wool schedule, and
there were other schedules not entirely
satisfactory 10 him. Had he submitted
the matter. as ne would likely have done,
to Congress In a message dealing with
it as a republican duty to be discharged
BY republicans. favorable action would
have been imperative.
The country, however would not see
things that way. 1t had lost patience
with tho republicans. and resolved to try
the democrats to the extent of giving
them chance to show their program.
IL understood that the President and the
Senate would have TO be consulted by
the House, but il ordered the consulta-
ton Another election will be necessary
70 insure progress OF some kind. and that
comes next year.
