RECIPROCITY AND PARTIzANsHIP

RECIPROCITY AND PARTlZANsHIP
There has never been any good rea
son, and least Of all now, why Presi
dent Taft should apologize because of
the absence of partizanship from the
! three notable measures fathered by
his administration, namely, universal
unlimited arbitration, monetary re-
form and Canadian reciprocity Each
of these finds support in the ranks of
both great political parties. None of
them gives excuse for partizan diyi-
sion. The President, however, seems
to have felt the criticism that N~na-
dian reciprocity, involving as it does
a radical departure from the protective
policy, is a Democratic rather than
a Republican measure.
| This criticism might have been put
forward with some force a dozen years
ago but anybody who has the inclina
tion and can take the time will find
no difficulty in discovering, in plat
form declarations, in newspaper arti-
| cles, in speeches in and out of Con
gress, all supposed to have behind
them the most unquestionable ortho-
dox Republicanism, passages which
show clearly that protection has been
steadily losing it's hold upon the
party with whose history it was once
supposed to be indissolubly identi-
fled.
President Taft has not taken the
tariff out of politics. He has. no
doubt, assisted it to get out, but it
would have ceased by this time to be
a partizan question in any event.
1t is true, also, that reciprocity leans
| strongly to the old-time low tariff De
mocratic idea. but the Democratic
party has been represented by some
very able men in the last few years
whose sympathies and votes have
been at variance with the commonly
accepted tariff policy of their party.
The President is right in holding
that the proposed reciprocity agree
ment squares with the doctrine of
tariff revision enunciated in the last
Republican national platform. assum-
ing the plank to have been inserted
with sincerity and not for the mere
purpose of catching the votes of tar
if refOrmers. But the President
is not altogether right in leaving the
inference that the Republican party
has been in the past, or is now, in
advance of the Democratic party in
seeking tariff revision along lines
that will make for fairer and for
freer trade not alone with Canada
but also with all the nations of the
world.
1t should be remembered by the
President and by those who are at
present seeking to insure the success
of a measure upon which his admin
istration has staked its prestige that
without Democratic support, indirect
E reciprocity would be impossible The
arguments advanced by Mr. Taft at
Indianapolis in favor of a reciprocal
trade agreement with Canada are all
sound and none the less so because
they are too broad to be partizan
Canada, like the United States, is
thinking continentally in these days,
and the Presidents general state
ments with relation to the agreement
are based upon views so liberal that
they will exert on Canadian as well
as on American thought an influence
that must better the prospects of re
ciprocity on each side of the line

which have recently come to the writ
er's attention, prompt a suggestion
which II carried out might serve to
prevent many just such fatal burnings.
This Is having close at hand in the
kitchen. as near the gasoline stove as
possible. a good sized blanket or heavy
full length overcOat. which could be
wrapped around one in case the cloth
ing caught fire. Almost invariably
when such an accident occurs there
seems to be a natural instinct to rush
TO another room or oIt OF doors for
help. which is the worst possible thing
TINT could be done to spread and in
tensify the blaze. Having n garment

render this rush unnec essary and make

vent terrible burns. but would save

hoGoINo DOWN CORN.

The wisdom OF hogginG down corD
seems TO depend on whether the fenc-
ing needed to carry It out satisfactorily
will come to more than the saving ef-
fected by having the hogs DO the husk-
ing. Two years experiments con-
Quoted by the Minnesota station show
ed that hogs in a cornneld required
only two-thirds as much feed TO make
4 given amount OF gain as did those
kept in q dry lot. while those In the
field made as much gain In seventy
1--WE days rs did dry lot hogs In hun
bred days. The field hogs seemed to
be the more thrifty and TO eat their
rations with a good deal more relish.
Pigs weighing a hundred pounds or
more make the most rapid gains under
fleld conditions. Before being turned
into the corn they should be fed new
corn in the dry lot in gradually In
creasing amounts. so that they won't
have their system upset by contract
ing the scours. The field TO be hog
ged down should be fenced OF in such
manner that there will be an average

There are some things IN this

House"
A very high class, finished perform.
ance Of an exceptionally good play was
that OF "Tbe Servant In the House"
at the Warlleld theatre last Monday
night by the Henry Miller Associate
Players This play Is the nearest
approach yet made by dramatists to
place Christ on the stage, and the
success met with the manner OF Its
handling by the playwright and It's
Interpretation by the actors into
whose hands the character OF Manson
has beSb entrusted have made OF the
piece y real dramatic triumph. Every
minister Ia the land should witness
the production OF this play, and every
man and woman should see at least
one performance OF 1t,
The cpmpany OF actors presenting
the phiy at the Waraeld last Monday
nlght4s decidedly capable organiza
tion. Mr.. Francis Yale, as Manson,
the butler, the servant In the house,
gave as clever and finished an inter.
probation as could be desired. Pa
tIent and thoughtful OF the other
man, calm and earnest, yet always
firm and unmistakable, the character
stood out AS a living actuaIity IN his
hands. Mr. Edwin Mordant, the
drainman, a high.class actor, was a
rev evelation in his living representation.
Mr. Sa,er Crawley and Mr.. George
Barr, the vicar and lord bishop, re-
spectively, were capable and paiustak-
Ing actors, while Mr.. Robert Ames,
the page boy, was a typical cockney
English door servant, The women of
the company proved exceptionally
strong and capable Miss Mllicent
Mclaughlin, the wife OF the vicar,
was the worldly ambitious wife OF the
struggling young minister who meas
ured success In dollars and cents
while her husband knew his success
IN the knowledge and realization OF
his work well done. Miss Winnie
Kingston, the niece, real daughter Of
the drainmap, read her lines so con
sistently and so earnestly that she
appeared not to be acting at all In
fact every member OF the cast is
such a finished artist IN his or her
own peculiar line that all OF them
appeared To be the living character
each interpreted.
The weather was beastly, raw and
cold, hut the men and women OF the
stage performed their parts so earn.
esty that the gripping Of the interest
and attention OF the people present
was so intense that, when the. curtain
fell for the last time, many did not
realize that the show was over.

Telephone Talk.

Telephone users On making a call
and the report comes back the line is
busy, please remember that this is
not the fault of the Company, but
simply means that the line Is being
used by someone else Many business
h0rses often have their lines reported
busy, and in the majority Of cases
this means that they are not amply
supplied with telephone facilities
Many hundreds of calls are lost on
account of lines being reported busy,
and among them are valuable orders
which have gone To ones competitor.
All Of these busy calls should be
made known to the business houses
10 order that they may be made TO
understand that these calls are being
lost One order lust would possibly
