VALE, RECIPROCITY.

Reciprocity is no more. We must
in candor state that we are not among
the mourners We dreaded it not so
much for it's actual effect, but because
we regarded it as an entering wedge
and an excuse for harmful tariff re-
ductions all along the line. The fact
that the passage of reciprocity in this
country was followed by number OF
half-baked tariff bills. proves that at
a succeeding congress it would have
been made the excuse for similar bills.
We are glad that reciprocity was
beaten in Canada. 1t is worth the
money to make the attempt and to
prove that Canada did not wish fair
trade 1t was worth while In order to
prove that the insurgent contention
that we were giving all to Canada and
receiving little in return was not re-
garded as the truth from the Canadian
standpoint. While the future discus
sion of Canadian reciprocity must be
entirely academic, for it no longer is
a living issue, we cannot refrain from
some consideration of the factors
which lead to it's defeat.

DEAD LETTERS.

In an interesting address deliy-
Tered before the postmasters' conven-
ton at Omaha recently. Fourth Assist
liant Postmaster General DeGraw
brought forth one proposal which clio
|ited unanimous approval from the
postmasters present. 1t was that the
department had under consideration
some plan for allowing unbelievable
misaddressed mail to be opened and
handled at the office of origin instead
of being forwarded to the dead letter
office
1t is surprising how careless people
are with their mail matter. In little
passes without someone mailing a
letter without address. Not only this,
but the letter starts Dear Cousin
and is signed simply with given
name. Sent to the dead letter office,
such letter is unbelievable, but at
the Office of origin nine times out of
ten it could be placed. The destira-
ton could be traced by the contents
of the letter where it could not be
traced by stranger.
These mistakes in mailing are not
confined to the people who seldom
write, as rule they are more careful
than others, but business firms con-
stantly make such mistakes. These,
however. are easily remedied where
the return card is printed. In fact the
dead letter office would be put out OF
business if everyone remembered to
put the return card on every letter
that they sent. The letter may be
plainly addressed and still be nndc!iv.
cradle. Many people move and leave
no address. When letter comes fci'
such 4 person nothing can he done
with it save to return to writer. and
if the writer's name is on the envelope
this can be done without delay The
dead letter office handles thousands
upon thousands OF letters every year.
Such letters are delayed at best, many
are unbelievable and all this could
be avoided if the return card was on
the letter We believe that if the new
system is adopted by the department
and local pOstmasters are allowed to
open and examine mis-directed or I'M
directed mail the delay would in most
cases be reduced from many days to
a few hours, but in the meantime all
should be careful to address letters
plainly and fully and to put their re-
turn card in the corner.

than a pound each. fair average
would be six to the pound. This would
mean ten thousand pounds per month

cred for the consideration of 500. AS
business proposition it is absurd.

general, who is facing the problem OF
making the department pay it's way.
is trying to find a way out. We be-
| lieve the rate of publications when
mailed to points outside the county OF
their origin should be doubled and
we believe this could be done without
any great hardship to subscribers, to
publishers or to advertisers. The
laborer is worthy OF his hire. The
work entaled at the office OF origin,

hundreds of miles, the work at the re-
ceiving office, the delivery over a per-

but are all that the traffic will bear.
Few people realize the volume of
the postal business. four-tifths of
which both in bulk and in labor is
made up of a class of matter which
does not begin to pay its way. Every
time you pay two cents postage on a
letter you are helping to pay the de-
felt caused by carrying a Ladies
Home Journal or some such publica
ton at much less than cost.

SIXTY THOUSAND PAPERS.

For the past month the Denison
postottice has been obliged to keep
count of the number of newspapers
and magazines received for delivery
In this count packages received by
newsdealers counted as but one piece,
no matter how many papers they con-
tanned. The exact footing has not
been made, but the figures are con-
siderably over fifty thousand, much
nearer sixty thousand in fact and they
would reach that number had the pa,
pers handled by dealers been counted
The Denison Office serves approx
mately two thousand families. Rough
ly then this means that during a month
each family receives an average of
thirty newspapers or magazines; prac-
tically one each day. Who can calcu-
late the effect of these sixty thousand
circulated each month
among the people of this vicinity? Who
can deny but that We are a reading
people? What chance has the orator
as compared with these seven hun
dred and twenty thousand printed adj
vocates taken into less than two thou
sand homes during the course of
year? The government carries these
at the rate of one cent

The Methodists and llama JIM"

The Methodists at Waterloo. repre-
senting the upper Iowa conference,
have also taken a whack at llama
Jim" Wilson. 1t is all right to pass
resolutions against man who has
lived christian life for more than
|seventy years and who has been a
praying man during all those years,
Especially when he belongs to the
Scotch predestlnatlon school. But al
ter it is all over they will find that
Mr.. Wilson has been merely victim
|of tie brewers who placed him on
their program as an honorary presi-
dent, thinking thereby to honor the
government OF which they are citizens
and under which they are tax payers.
1t should be taken into consideration
that while from church standpoint
a brewery is undesirable that, never
theless, in the eyes Of the federal gov
eminent brewery has just the same
rights to exist as has church. But
SO far as Mr.. Wilson is concerned, the
matter in which he now figures is
wholly without his know ledge or con
sent Perhaps it would have been
better for In to have demanded the
withdrawal of his name as soon as he
heard of its use, but at the present
time it has been made almost impOs-
sible for him to do so, without some
personal humiliation to himself; that
had withdrawn because they had
scared him. He is placed in a most
unfortunate position, that much all
must admit.-Cedar Rapids Republi-

THE PRESIDENT.

We are glad that everywhere Presi-
dent Taft is receiving a reception
worthy OF the high Office which he
holds and worthy of the high standard
is a great thing to be the president
of the United States. In our opinion
it is the highest official position in the
world, but it is still a greater thing
to have been in public life almost con
tinually since manhood and to have
stood the test without suspicion OF
dishonesty or a trace of disregard OF
trust. President Taft has represent
ed this country on the bench, as the
chief officer in the Philippines, as sec
rotary of war and as president. He
has made mistakes. but never dis
honest one. He has doubtless been
wrong, but never wilfully so. He has
been unfortunate in that at times sus-
picion has been directed against his
subordinates, but never has suspicion
touched the chief.
His present journey about the Unit
ed States has tinge of politics. He
is the servant of the people and he is
giving personal account OF his
stewardship. Necessarily he is de-
Tending and upholding the policies that
he has advocated, but he has never
lost sight of the fact that he is the
servant of all the people and we are
glad to note that the people have not
lost sight of this fact either
We are pleased to know that in this
community there has been no partisan
ship in the preparations made for his
visit. Democrats have joined with re-
publicans in preparing for his well
come and this has been done with
most commendable spirit. We do not
ask that our democratic brethren
shall agree with all he says, we do not
ask them to espouse principles in OPP
position to their own. but we do be-
lieve that there will be no attempt
to belittle his personality, to show him
insult, either during his visit or after
it, and that both the man and the high
office which he holds will be respected
by all.
The visit of a president of the Unit
ed States to little town like Deni-
son is an historic event in the COM
munity. The future historian of Craw-
ford county will make note of his
coming and of the manner of his re-
ception. 1t will be something for you
to relate to your children and your
children's children, thats you have
heard the president speak. 1t will be
something for your children to remem-
Der and will bring them into closer
touch with the country of which they
are a part This issue of the Review
will be too late to have any particular
influence, but we trust that every read
err of the Review in this county will
be present and that the whole family
will be at the grounds ready to greet
the president of the United States
with hearty cheer.

The United States extended the glad
hand to Canada and it was met with
a curt refusal to enter into closer re-
lations. The question now is shall
we give Canada our markets without
return or shall We maintain our pro-
lection as high as we do theirs? The
democratic attitude is, if Canada will
not give her markets in return for
ours, let us give them ours anyway.

states OF the West and paying high
prices for lands not SO good as we
have here.
Better Land at Lower Prices.
I'm Oregon recently read that
$4,000 an acre was paid for a certain
tract of land. And yet right down
here in Mississippi as good or better
land than that is waiting for an
owner at a price far below that. In
fact 1t may be purchased by any man
that really wants to buy It, And this
land here will show greater profits
than the $4,000 an acre land Of Ore
gon. That was orchard and, and the
average profit an acre for orchard
runs around 5000 to $500. The straw
berry Is better paymaster than that
right here in Mississippi. There are
instances where 5000 and 500 an
acre has been realized from the lus.

sand bathers will be able to use daily
the new municipal bathing establish

opened to the public at Coney Island
today. The pavilion is sixty feet
wide and 400 feet long, containing
hundreds of private rooms and shower

and appointments of an up-to-date
bath house.
A large force of police has been
stationed at the new city bathing es-

out of the threat Of private bath pro.

hundred undesirable persons to the

attendants have also been warned not
