RECIPROCITY IN THE SENATE.

RECIPROCITY IN THE SENATE.
The Republican majority in the SEN
ate has clear duty before it, which it
should discharge without delay-the
enactment of the measure, already
passed by the house, carrying out
President Taft's policy for reciprocity
with Canada. This policy, as the
president showed in his New York
speech, looks to a broad continental
advance of American trade. President
Taft announced in New York what has
not before been made public, that in
the negotiations with Canada 1--WE ten
dered to the Canadian commissioners
absolute free trade in all products of
either country, manufactured or nat
ural, but the Canadian commissioners
did not feel justified in going so far"
Not before has the United States been
ready to offer more than Canada would
take.
This broad policy looks to the
future. Today it is wisely limited.
Cuba and Porto Rico are already with
in the circle of American trade. Can
ada is to come within it, Proposed by
a Republican president, passed by a
Democratic house and now before a
Republican senate, this national policy
deserves national support
For twenty years, since reciprocity
was adopted by the Republican party
under the leadership of James G.
Blaine as the aid and complement of
protection, reciprocal trade has been
urged by every Republican president
1t is sound protection doctrine.-PhiI-
adelphia Press.

WHO RUN AWAY.


If Tennessee had the recall it would
be a handy thing to apply to those
members of the legislature who, disre-
garding their sworn duty, nave left the
state and gone to Alabama in order to
prevent the enactment of legislation to
which they are opposed. Their absence
makes q quorum in the lower house
impossible. 1t also prevents the pas
sage of appropriation bills for the pay
ment of the states current expenses.
The recall might not have the effect
of recalling the absent m embers from
their comfortable hotel in Alabama,
but it would declare their seats in the
legislature vacant. 1t would prevent
them from drawing pay for Sinking
their duties. A somewhat similar sit
uation existed not long ago in West
Virginia, where members of the 1egis-
lature left the state in order to prevent
the election of a United States SEN
ator.
Opponents of direct legislation, who
seem to be threatened with hydropho-
bia at every mention of the initiative,
referendum and recall will scarcely
point with much satisfaction to Ten
nessee and West Virginia as examples
of the unalloyed blessings conferred
upon US by representative government.

ment is no longer representative when
