THE DEMOCRATS AND RECIPRO
CITY.

The present extra session of Con-
gress represents the interesting spec
.tacle of a Democratic house launch
ing the bill in favor of Canadian re-
ciprocity, which has been considered
the chief measure advocated by a
Republican president.
Indications that have appeared thus
far tend to show that the bill will be
ratified in a very short time by the
House of Representatives, while it is
thought that the members of the Sen
ate will not offer a very determined
opposition. The prediction is being
made that the bill will be sent to the
Senate within two weeks.
If the Senate, throttled though it is
by corporate interests, gives anything
like normal consideration to the meas
IRE, the end of the first month of the
extra session should see the passage
Of the bill by that body. 1t is only in
the Senate that the interests which
wish to see the bill defeated have any
chance of securing its defeat.
Though President Taft was wise and
sane enough to see from the beginning
that Canadian reciprocity was needed
and to advocate its passage, his Re
publican support has been shot from
beneath him. The power of the voter
last fall at the polls served more than
ever to put the president on the de-
fensiye in order to convince him that
he must struggle hard to save even his
own scalp from the wreck and ruin.
1t will soon be a matter for the Re
publican Senate to decide whether
there shall be reciprocity with Canada
or not. The Democratic house will do
its full duty in the matter, but Pres-
dent Taft will be compelled to fight
hard in order to keep the corrupt ami
greed-bought members TO his own
party in the Senate from knitting the
bill, upon the passage of which large
ly depends his chances of making 4
respectable showing as a candidate
for nomination for the presidency by
the Republican party in 1912.

Real Things in PatbOS.

Jacob A Riis, the author. was dis
cnssing in New York his experiences
as a police reporter says the Chicago
Tribune,
They were intense experiences. The
pathetic ones had, indeed, such an in
tensity that they couldn't be used in
Hterature-they'd seem oyer-drawn.
For example, one cold and dreawy
Thanksgiving evening as l passed a
famous restaurant l saw a little urch-
in standing before the area. Through
the area gratings the kitchen, bril-
liantly Illuminated, could be seen. The
cook, in his white dress. basted a half
dozen great brown birds.
Hi, Jimmy the urchin cried. and
a second youngster turned toward him
Hi, Jimmy, come an eat yer crust
in the smell from this here kitchen
1t makes it taste just like roast tur-
key"

himself down to read, but dropped OF

crab in bucket, and when Simpkins

By careful navigation Mr.. Crab
reached the edge of the rack. Down
it fell. alighting on Simpkin's Shout

REMEMBRANCE. (

Guy Wetmore Carryl)

One night you touched the harp beside
the stair,
The harp that long unfgured and
unstrung,
Half silent dreamed of hours when
it was young,
And those who loved it blithe and
frail and fair
Beneath your careless hand a faint,
sweet air
Leaped back to life, and told with
tender tongue
Of loves forgot, and soft, the strings
among,
The dying music fingered like a
prayer
How long my heart lay silent till
you came;
How strangely sweet the strain you
made to rise
From each! And yet you cannot under
stand
That now can neither ever be the
same
All, love, all, love, how slow the music
dies!

Which maketh sweet the air,
A thought is knocking at my brain,
A question at my heart.
Why are We two, who seem so near,
So drearily apart?
Since never doubt, or soil of faith,
Nor Wayering of a thought,
NOT wrong that Tushes into words,
Has this division wrought
No silent ebbing Of belief,
Nor hands that yainly crave,
Nor sight, of all illusion cured,
Nor glamour in its grave,
Estrange; a kindness yet abides,
The gray OF what was green;
Yet some memorable want
Broodeth our souls between.
True, that no child to US is born,
To bind us with its eyes,
Or with its babble closer draw,
It's chuckle toward the skies.
But oh, the want is deep within
We shrink and we CONCEAL
In dreadful gliding of life,
Where oiled is every wheel
The shining horses without noise
Watt us on cushioned seat;
And softest carpets give no sound
Back TO our moving feet.
On straw, without some stricke
house,
How dull the traffic rolls.
So muffied all the mighty world
Passes our languid souls
Hence. let US fly a mortal ease,
And share the common strife!
Into the human welter plunge,
And lose ourselves in life!

.EI;lLI!oiPERs UNDER ARREST

Naan. vshs Deserted wife and Woman
\ Nks Dsssrtsd husband Captured in
lainNsapslis -Ntrenssd Ones GO u
Psssseuts Charles v. Laninsham
\ and Mr.. Lillian Johnson.
Cedar Rapids. Sept. .o.-Charles Van
Laningham and Mrs Lillian johnson
are under arrest In Minneapolis and
John Johnson and Mrs. Van Laning-
ham have gone to Minneapolis to Wit
ness the discontinue Of their erriug
loved ones.
Two charges are against Charles
Van Laningham. one of adultery and
the other Of desertion. There is only
one charge against Mrs. johnson. that
OF adultery. % far. but . charge Of de-
sertion 10 to be fled.
Chief Of Police Carl Tuesday morn
inE received telegram stating the
couple were under Arrest in answer to
one he sent Monday night, asking the
Minneapolis police to arrest them.
Van Laningham was an engineer on
the Third avenue bridge and a good
one. He was in charge Of the big
engine which has done such good
work handling the material One day
last week he deserted his wife here
and took with him, so it is alleged,
Mrs. LILLIAN johnson. wife of John
johnson, a blacksmith at the Joe
Lilly shop.
No trace Of the couple could be
found. altho the police were searching
for them. Monday afternoon letter
was received from Mrs. johnson by her
husband. In this letter repentance was
proffered. It was asked that all be for
given. Instead Of forgiving and for
getting as Mrs. johnson expected her
husband to do, he. with Mrs. Van Lam
ingham, went to the court Of Justice
Sloan and sued out a warrant for the
couples arrest. This warrant being
placed in the hands of the police a
telegram was sent at once to Chief Of
Police Michael Healy Of Minneapolis
asking that the couple who were stay
Ing at the Twin City hotel be arrested.
The Minneapolis police lost no time
in complying. Mr.. Johnson and Mrs.
Van Laningham caught a train for
Minneapolis Monday night and are
doubtless on hand in Minneapolis to
see that the errig couple are held.
Chief of Police Carl Tuesday morn
ing stated that the couple would be
brought back and another information
filed against Mrs. johnson.
Both have children. They are middle
aged. The marriage life Of both had
been pleasant. so it is claimed, until
Mrs. johnson became attracted by Van
