RECIPROCITY GOES
THROUGH WITH EASE
SENATE PASSES THE CANADIAN
RECIPROCITY AGREEMENT
BY VOTE OF So TO 27.
CANADA'S ACTION is NOW
AWAITED.
When Accepted by Ottawa's Parlia
ment. Measure Will Be Proclaim

Effective.

The Canadian reciprocity trade
agreement was passed by vote of
% to p, after every amendment to
it had been voted down Thus the
purpose of President Taft in calling
the special session OF the congress
was attained.
The striking feature of the vote
is that majority of the Republican
senators were against the measure az
were the Republicans in the house,
"a Republican senators opposing the
pact while q voted for it, Had the
pact been in the form Of treaty it
would have failed in that it carried
by - than two thirds vote. Reing
in the form of a bill only a majority
was necessary.
The Canadian parliament has not
vet acted on the agreement and wit h
one exception the provisions OF the
Dill as passed by congress will not
become effective until the president
issues a proclamation that Canada
has ratified the pact The exception
to this procedure is in the paper and
pulp section of the bill. which il is
announced will become Immediately
effective when the president signs the
law.

GUS amendments and on the final pas

Complaints Made On Assessments.

Between 40 and 90 complaints rela.
tive to assessments have been filed
with the state tax commission and
about the first Of August the commits
sion will send out field workers to begin
the examination of valuations. Pre-.
vious to then, however. hearings will
be held in some localities.
The commission received wire
from James II. Finley, the mining en-
gineer making valuation OF the
mining properties of the state, in
which ne states that he has all the
data at hand for completing the valu-
alton of. the iron and copper mines.
and has finished the field work in the
copper region. In most instances the
mine owners have furnished Mr. Fin
ley and his staff with every assistance
possible, such as maps Of the mines
and other data. One mine owner re-
fused at first to furnish this informa-
ton, but on second thought changed
his mind and opened his books. The
situation relative to the appraisal Is
such as to insure the completion Of the
work in time for the meeting of the
state board of equalization In August.

"Ophthalamia moratorium Is an in
fictitious disease apparent at birth.
Two per cent solution of nitrate OF
silver, dropped into each eye of a
newborn infant would destroy the
germs Of opthalamia where these ex-
listed, and would not injure the sight
of healthy eyes. This simple thing
was discovered % years ago by Prof.
Creda, Of Leipsic, director Of the ma
ternity hospital connected with the
university. BY it's use the percentage
of such cases fell from IA per cent to
one-half OF l per cent In short time.
Were the prescribed treatment so
difficult and delicate that the skill Of
a specialist could alone cope with It,
the matter would be different, but it
Is not; its the most simple thing to
do, and people the world over should
be taught, as they are now being
taught, how to care for their tuber-
cular cases and to prevent the spread
of that disease.
There Is plan in New York to
distribute this preventive medicine,
after educating the people to use 1t.
Such free distribution would cost the
state $4,000 yearly, while the total cost
for that same year for the education
and maintenance Of these blind chill
dren in the Batavia, n. Y, institution
was $14,260 a year. We should do
the same in Michigan

LITERARY NEWS AND NOTES.

You just feel as if you were "going
out to Old Aunt Mary's' when you pick
up the November National Magazine. 1t
embodies the sentiment of Thanksgiving
hospitality and affection throughout
from the very cover design, wherein the
good old New England farmer, with fiut-
tering comforter" about his neck, is
trudging joyously homeward with the
indispensable turkey for the Thanks
giving dinner" The November Nation
al is feast in itself, for every page
seems to sparkle with characteristic up
to-date-iveness. Although Everybody

Joe Chapple finds plenty Of interesting

at the Capital city, even if the nation S
solons are away, looking after their
fences and eating or talking turkey"
for the nonce.
Lippincott's Magazine is worth watch
ing these days-worth watching and
worth reading. Its recent substantial
increase in size, together with a-pre-
umably-vastly increased monetary ap-
preparation, enables it to present an al
Turing array of fiction, special articles,
and other attractive features. Follow
ing the noteworthy issue for October.
with it's striking complete novel by
Amelia Rives, comes that for November,
with table of contents just as remark
able. The novelette, is ''The Island" by
Augusta Kortrech, who has one book
"A Dixie Rose" number of clever
short stories to her credit. ''The Is
land' has an original setting and original
characteristic fact, there doesn't seem
to be anything about it that isn't origi-
nal. It's the tale of a hare and tortoise
race for a woman's love-but don't ex-
pect cut-and-dried denouement, for it
isn't that kind.
The alumni of Colby college have
undertaken new departure. 1t is the
publication of a magazine to be known
as The Colby Alumnus, and it will be
issued about five times during the COL
lege year, the first number to appear
Nov. Is. The chief features will be
notes from the class secretaries, and
leading articles on matters of interest to
the alumni and friends of Colby. Some
of the articles will be historical and bio
graphical. Others will outline the fu-
ture policy of the college administration.
1t is believed that the effect of the pub
LEGATION will be to knit the college and
its alumni more closely together. The
co-editors of the publication will be Lii
brarian Charles Phillips Chapman, 'O6,
and Registrar Herbert Carlyle Libby,
ex-'02. The advisory board will be
composed of Prof. Julian Daniel Taylor,
