First o. all may be mentioned the
great success and important deci-
lions of the international Esperanto
Congress held at Antwerp last
August.
Over I.700 persons were present
and discussions were carried on In
Esperanto SO freely and clearly that
an American who was there said, he
no longer doubted that Esperanto is
q living language spoken BY a living
people, widely scattered, but con
tfnually Increasing throughout the
world.
Even the most conservative OF pa
pers, THE London Times, 2 In an ed
~itoriai, said that the Congress fully
demonstrated the claims OF the Es-
perantists and that there Is no longer
any doubt that Esperantists from all
parts OF the world can understand
one another.
but the most far reaching action
OF the Congress was It's decision to
let the government OF It's future an
nual sessions be IN the hands of
delegates elected by 4~Esperantists all
over the world. This at once places
the movement on a more permanent
basis and shows the desire towards
q great international government in
ali affairs relating to this unique
International Language. !.
Three delegates to the Congress
were sent officially from the United
States, one by the Government, one
by the Bureau of Commerce and La
Dor and one by the War Department.

living that can be charged to the
farmer by reason of the protection he
gets is not appreciate, vet it enables
him to exist, where, in many cases,
he could not without it. Everyone
who has had occasion to Investigate
knows that Canadian competition in
farm products, with duties removed,
is much to be feared. This attempt
to reduce the cost of iving2b by taking
it all out of the farmer and putting
the quid pro quo into the pockets of
the manufacturers and tradesmen,
who are already able to command
the Canadian market in their line,
does not look like square deal all
around 1t is to be feared that the
great voting strength and the center
ed and powerful monetary interests
of the big cities and industrial towns
have been able to make themselves
felt as against the farmer who is
weak because individually poor,
scattered and unorganized. And
further because the farmer has
shown SO little political independence
in the past as to excite no fear
among those prominent in politics.
President Taft is evidently sincere
in his belief that Canadian recipro-
city will be blessing, in the main,
but as this treaty is framed up it
SENS to spell disaster to the farmers,
and ought to be critically looked in
to before the republican farmers so
vitality interested give it their sup
port merely because it is put forth
by the present party leader.-[H Her
