Docs NOT Favor Canadians Against
Michigan Farmers.

Congressman j. w. Fordney in an
interview with the News showed a
disposition to take issue with Presi-
dent Taft on his Canadian recipro-
city agreement. Mr.. Fordney did
not commit himself nor did he make
any extended criticisms of the treaty,
further than to question the POSSIBLE
ity of having the restriction on Cam
adam wood pulp removed by the pro-
vinces and to oppose as general
proposition the removal of duties
on agricultural products and on
implements and iron manufactures.
He did not say what his attitude to-
ward the agreement as whole
would be, insisting that he had not
had IN opportunity to study it's pro-
visions. 1t appeared however, from
his conversation, that the congress-
man was not overly pleased with the
arrangement. One of his remarks
Is especially significant.
Let Democrats Force Free Trade
Il am unable to go into a detailed
discussion on this matter" said Mr..
Fordney, land will not be in a posi-
ton to until the agreement comes be-
fore the ways and means committee
What l will say, however, is this If
we are to have free trade with Can
ada, we want the Democrats to force
it on us. You can put this in type as
big as you like"
From this and other statements
1t was inferred by the reporter that
Mr.. Fordney looked upon the treaty
as carrying too many articles on the
free list. or in other words, as being
too much in the direction of free
trade to suit his protective ideas, and
that he might oppose its ratification
on that ground, as we'll as on his OBJ
jections to specific schedules.
Pulp Wood a Stumbling Block?
When his attention was called to
the articles placed on the free list,
which included print paper, contin-
gent on Canada's restrictions on pulp
wood being removed, the congress
man said:
I'm my opinion that will never
come. 1t appears to me to be i'm
possible. The timber in Canada is
controlled by the provinces and not
by the general Canadian government
and until the provinces agree to this
measure free paper will never re-
suit.
1.-THE agreement makes a reduction
on the tariff on ham, bacon, canned
meats, etc., which will not cut much
figure. At present the tariff is only
a cent and a half, and the half a
cent difference will not amount to
much.
May not get his Support
Should all agricultural products
be placed on the free list l can as
sure you right now that it will not
receive my support. Talk about plac-
ing farm implements and iron manu-
facturers on the free list! Why, Can
ada dosen't manufacture any Of these
things while our exports amount to
millions of dollars"
Mr.. Fordney would not make any
prediction as to what disposition
congress would make OF the agree
ment.-Saginaw News.

In Wrong Once More.

Lansing, Jan. 27-Dr. o. r. Long
superintendent of the asylum for the
criminal insane at Ionia, was on
hand Thursday to ask Rep. j. j.
Whelan what he meant by insinuat-
ing he had been a party to keeping
a sane convict in his institution.
Whelan back watered in a hurry and
assured the doctor that he did not
mean to insinuate anything, but that
he had received a letter from the
convict and thought 1t should be in
vestigated.
II have never been in Marquette
prison and I am not interested in any
controversy a member of the legis-
lature may have with Warden Rus
sell" said DR.. Long, "but no man
can cast reflection upon my pro-
fessional integrity. Do you suppose
for a moment that / would be a
party to a deal to confine a sane
man in an asylum? The law pro-
vides that when any warden sends
an inmate to me with the written
opinion of the prison doctor that he
Is insane, / must receive him. He
is then carefully examined and IL
we find that he Is simply unruly
and not insane we send him back.
Nov, as to the man spoken Of
his name is Rodebaugh and he Is a
native of New York state. We found
him to be a degenerate and such a
man should not be believed in any
In I
told my assistant that he could
take him back to Marquette, as he
had another year to serve, and when
his term expires l did not think he
should be shouldered onto the state
for life. He Is man who cannot be
believed under any circumstances"
The above statement was brought
out by Rep. Whelan, Wednesday,
afternoon he hauled out those old
charges relative to the management
of the Marquette prison, which serv-
ed him as an excuse for frequent ora
tions two years ago. This time he al
legged that a convict who had given
the committee of investigation infor-
nation at the Marquette prison two
years d6O, 10 HOW COHHneu Ill the
Ionia asylum for the criminal insane,
where he, Whelan, has been refused
an opportunity to visit him.
The House, after Whelan had read
letter of lucid phrases from the
convict, authorized Whelan and Rep
resentatives Bier and Ogg to make
special trip to the Ionia asylum
and ascertain the mans condition
and whether, as the convict charges,
he is sane and entitled to his liberty.
Whether the House voted this au-
thority because they take Whelan
seriously or voted for his proposed
trip because they saw in 1t chance
for other trips at state expense is
question.
After the resolution has been
adopted directing Whelan and the
other two to make the trip. Rep.
Warner asked IL It did not come un-
der the ban of the junket resolution.
Speaker Baker ruled it did not and
now members are remarking that
they can send out othtr special COM
mittees to visit other state institu-
tons. t +.
