Albert Jay Mock In the June num-

pels many illusions Of cold un'n-

picture of this interesting city. In
part, he says:
But where is Alberta, and what
is it like? When one reaches Ed
monton, the capital. three hundred
miles north of the international
boundary. one has scarcely made q
start into the province. Yet Ed
monton is farther north from New
York than New York is from Tam
pa, Fla. It lies at latitude 53 de-
greee 80 minutes, far above New
foundland, above the island Of An
ticosti, more than twice as far north
of Montreal. or Halifax. N. g., as

RECIPROCITY
IS FAVORED
BY FARMERS
Congressman Moss of Indiana I'M
clares Movement Started Among
the Agriculturalists

Washington, May 25-Althousn
Standpat Republicans proclaim tnat
practically every farmer in the land
il against reciprocity. the fact is
that the recent wonderful growth
of public sentiment in favor OF
reciprocity started with farmers or
Eanizations and the agricultural
press of the nation.
Congressman Ralph w. Moss Of
Indiana, a farmer himself, and one
of the best friends OF the agrichl-
turists occupying a seat in the haIs
of Congress, established this fact
beyond successful contradiction in
strong speech delivered on the
door of the House. Mr.. Moss cinch-
ed his point by presenting the ac-
tual resolutions in which the great
organizations of farmers pledged
themselves to work for reciprocity.
1.-The great national movement
among the farmers of the United
States to advance reciprocal leigsla-
ton began" said Mr.. Moss, with
q m aeting held in the Grand Pacific
hotel in Chicago in 1905. There
were present at the meeting dele
gates representing the National
Lave Stock association, American
Short Horn association, National
Live Stock Exchange, Millers Ma
tional Federation, and other great
producing and exporting interests.
"It was decided to hold ma
tional conference to advance recip-
rocal tariff legislation. Alvin H.
Saunders was chosen as the leader
of the movement. Who is A. H.
Saunders? He is a member of the
tariff board appointed by President
Taft. Mr.. Saunders was at that
time the editor of the Breeders
Gazette, the most influential and
widely read farm journal in the
United States. Mr.. Saunders issued
. signed statement as to the pur-
poses of the conference. He de-
clared his willingness to cooperate
with the specific understanding
that the interests of the farmers
and stock growers should be para
mount
1t is time declared Mr..
Saunders in his signed statement,
that somebody should take up the
cudgels against those who for selfish
purposes destroyed Blaine's reel
procity conventions, and are still
barring the American stockmen and
grain growers from a large and lu-
crAtive outlet for their goods. The
Aght for better markets, worth un-
Known millions per year to the
farming communities, will not be
won in week or a month. It means
. battle royal against intrenched
power, but it will be won because
It Is right
Mr.. Moss went on to show that
the conference was attended BY
nore than 500 delegates. repre-
senting every principal agricultur-
n organization in the nation, and
that at the close Of the meeting the
following resolution was passed:
THAT We recommend that a per-
Danent organization be formed un-
Ar the style OF the Reciprocal
tariff league, and that a committee
- 15 be appointed to organize and
1arther the work for which this
esAvention was assembled"
Mr.. Moss expressed the belief
tAat when reciprocity could be put
directly to the real farmers Of the
eeantry. 1t would develop that they
ARo for it. and that the alleged
Aestfiity Of the farmer exists prin-
n1oally in the minds of the paper
manufacturers and lumber barons.

Two bills intended to deprive the
Supreme court Of the power it re-
Gently assumed to read the word
reasonable" into the antitrust
law, indicate the strong protest in
Congress against the decision of the
court weakening the antitrust
statute The bills were introduced
BY Senators Culberson Of Texas and
Reed Of Missouri, both Democrats.
Senator Culberson's bill consists
of a printed copy Of the Sherman
act with three words inserted into
Sections and 2, the words being
''of whatever character" The eff
feet would be to prohibit all COM
binations. conspiracies in restraint
OF trade. all monopolies, all COM
bfnations tending toward monopoly
"of whatever character" In the
Texas senator's opinion this change
would effectually restore the pro-
hibitions of the antitrust law to
just where they were before the
recent decision was handed down.
1t is contended by many members
Of Congress whose voting records
show them to be alert for the inter-
ests Of the people, that the ruling
of the supreme court places in the
antitrust law u loophole for trusts
and combinations to get through on
the ground that they are not un-
reasonably restrictive Of trade.
That the Sherman law will be re-
stored to where It was before the
decision was announced, II highly
probable.
