Canadian Farmers Also Afraid.

The Montreal (Canada) Gazette OBJ
iects to the ratification of the reciprocity
trade agreement with the United States
because, it argues, that reciprocity will
benefit the American farmer at the ex.
pense of the Canadian farm. This is
the exact reverse of the argument used
against reciprocity on this side of the
line. Both cannot be right. But if
both are right in the sense that it is
case of give and take on both sides, each
finding for itself that the loss in one
trade is offset by the gain in the other,
while WIDER freer trade makes avail
able more varied and more constant
markets, then that will be reciprocity
indeed, the very thing the agreement
seeks to establish.--St. Adams Mes
senger.

All Pace Boys.

While the Vermont United States
senators in common with others had
strenuous times during the closing ses-
sion of Congress, especially during the
last week of almost solid sittings, day
and night, there were not few amusing
incidents to help the senators while
away the filibustered hours. One of
these involving Senator Page of Ver-
mont is thus narrated by Fred G. Kelly
in the Cleveland Plaindealer
A capitol guide had just been pointing
out all the senators on the floor at the
request of two women he had in tow.
"Gracious, never saw so many sena-
tors !" one of them exclaimed. els that
man that just came in another senator p
Eyes, that's Senator Page of Yer.
mont
"And all those little boys running
around-what do they doF'
"Oh, those are page boys, replied the
guide.
"All Page boys, you say2 Well, we'll
Vermont is we'll represented, isn't it ?"
We suspect that if the good ladie
who were thus impressed at the nationa
capitol were to come to Vermont, the,
would find all Page boys here Also

The campaign against reciprocity,
conducted by Hon. Clifford Sifton and
other strenuous opponents of the Laurier
policy generally, in massed meetings in
Montreal, which was fully reported and
attractively displayed in the Montreal
Star, was certainly interesting but not
likely to greatly affect the issue. The
more logical, brilliant and acceptable
arguments defending the liberal policy
of the party in power will probably be
as successful as it is instructive and
clearly honest. Perhaps the guess that
partizan politics is too obviously the
motive of those against the government
is about as nearly true as any other con-
clusion of consideration of the cam
paign could be.

Vermont Automobile Show

Burlington is the first city in the
state of Vermont to have an automobile
show. Arrangements are being made
to hold one the first week in May. 1t
will be held in the Armory, a building
admirably suited to the purpose. The
main floor of the Armory is level with
the street so that cars may be driven
right on to it under their own power.
George d. Jarvis and G. Arthur
Halves are the prime movers in getting
the show under way and they are going
to assume the financial responsibility of
its conduct. Every dealer in the state
is to be invited to take space and it is
expected that many manufacturers, es.
pecially of accessories, will be glad to
have their wares on exhibition.
1t is expected that the rent for spaces
can be got down as low as 1926 per space
During the same week the Burlington
Merchants Protective Association will
pull off its "Merchants' Week" and with
out doubt the city will be full of vsi-
tors. The automobile show will be an
attraction for them and at the same
time the dealers will have the opportu.
nifty of reaching larger number Of
people than they would if the show
were held at an ordinary time. Every.
thing will be done to make the affair a
business and social success

selves are going to fortify the big canal
and indeed do much more for national
defense than Japan is likely to do;
things that other powers, by stretch
of imagination could see as unfriendly
and distrustful but we are not spoken

Democracy and Equality.

President Charles w. Eliot spoke
strongly to the Harvard students, on the
occasion of his 18th birthday, of the
power of democracy and freedom to
develop inequality in individual powers
and acquisitions. Instead of democracy
tending to equality (not as opportunity,
it tended the other way; aud after 100
years of more political and social
equality than any other country has had,
"no people ever exhibited such prod-
gious inequalities of powers as i'll the
United States" And this is well, he
thinks; nor does he forget to be gener'
Gus in this connection with the old pre-
scribed college course which suffered so
severely at his hands in the earlier days
of his educational career. He said -
cat one time Harvard had a pre-
scribed course, yet it did not produce
uniform scholar. The amount of time
required to attain possible marks was
not nearly as much as required now, yet
such scholars as Emerson, Lowell and
Norton were produced, for the reason
that they gave one tenth of their time
TO the study of what they liked. The
prescribed course had no tendency to
produce uniform grist, and it is a
mercy that it does not"
This seems to be admitting not only
that The prescribed course worked pretty
we'll, but that it never had any tendency
to work very badly.-Springfeld Re
