WHAT SOME WOMEN DID

Conneryjlle, Ind, has just been
given an example of what concerted
action by the women folks can &C
complish. 1t has had cleanup
day, land the result was marvellous,
if we are to believe the newspaper
stories concerning it.
The Federation of Women's Clubs
was responsible for the thing, and
what it did in the little Indiana
town holds a lesson for other and
larger communities. An exchange
tells us that:
"They began work in advance by
dividing their persuasive forces
into committees. One committee
made personal visits to the owners
of vacant lots and urged them to
clear away the weeds and rubbish
on their property and keep the
street in front of it clean.
1.-The committee on flies devoted
itself to urging the housewives to
war on the winged pest-carrfers,
and pleaded with property owners
to do away with the places that
breed flies, make their premises
sanitary, cover up things that at
tract flies, and thoroughly and
properly screen their for rent
houses, however cheap, because
Ne poor need protection.
another committee furnished
waste paper boxes fors treet cor
ners, and still another will make
awards of prizes for the cleanilest
premises in the city.
"The school chi'dror of Conner
Vile have been brought into the
cleanup movements by the organi-
zatlon among them of Junior
Civic League, the members of which
Gre pledged to do their part in
krcring tho city ciean and attrac-
tive: and these small folks are even
more eager and enthusiastic than
the grown-ups."
Here is a movement that ought
to find enthusiastic followers IN
Hattiesburg and in every other
city as we'll.

What are you going to miss most when
you move to town after spending the
greater part of your life on the farm,
is the neighbors. You may possibly get
your comforts, find many pleasures, but

there will never be any friends like the

The Entering Wedge

70 ORCED to a recognition of the services of
u Democrats in passing the reciprocity bill in
the house. President Taft in his New York speech
said Il desire to express my high appreciation
of the in which the present house of rep
resentatves has treated the reciprocity agreement"
This is faint praise perhaps but it is definite enough
to carry pleasure to the standpaters of the pres
dent's own party who did their puny worst to de-
feat the measure
Mr. Taft has shown intense earnestness in his
efforts in behalf of reciprocity. It is a pity he
does not carry out the logic Of his position in favor
of substantial free trade with Canada For the
Canadian agreement is fundamentally free trade
measure. 1t is not by any means comprehensive
but it goes far enough to recognize the wisdom and
the merit of unrestricted exchange and to rake
ducks and brakes of the Republican high protection
theory.
And if free trade with Canada is good why
should free trade not be good with Mexico, Central
America, South America Europe, Asia, Africa and
the islands of the sea? The argument for freer trade
with Canada is an implied argument for freer trade
with the whole world. 1t is admission that the
theory of protection is wrong in principle and bur-
densome in effect 1t is mighty blow at the old
tariff superstition 1t is a beacon light along the
path of progress and promise OF a brighter, more
enlightened and more prosperous era to come

The Annexation Bugaboo

IT e bugaboo of Canadian annexation as follow
" up of Canadian reciprocity has again been rails
ed in Che house Representative Prince, new Re-
publican member from Illinois, raised his voice to
warn Canada that when go into country and
get control of it, we take it. 1t is Our history AMI
it is right that we should take it if we want it and
you might as we'll understand it. The speaker has
said So the party back of him has said and it does
not deny that is its desire
OF course the desire of Mr.. Prince and of the
Canadian opponents of reciprocity who will goat
ngly publish broadcast with gaudy elaboration, the
ne wmembers remarks, is to play upon the preju-
dices of patriotism of Canadians to the end
that sentiment against reciprocity may BE-
worked up across the border sufficient to defeat the
treaty. 1t is not apt to succeed. The Canadians
are not SO dull that they can realize that
alton to the United States will never come until
Canadians are ready and anxious for it. 1t is true
that under Republican rule, when Eve go into a
country and get control of it, take it" But
the mperialstic tendencies of the Republican party
have been checked by Democratic supremacy and
even were they not the United States would not
be apt to attempt to take Canada without Cana
da's consent, proceeding which would assuredly
involve us in rndesired with Great Britain.

some day Canada will become part of the United
States But that day will not be materially has.
