dental campaign opens in 1912. to
carry on a campaign which will place
Iowa in the democratic column.
Our greatest difficulty in the past
has been our inability to keep the or
ganization active and alert from one
campaign to the next. Good work
ing organizations have been built up
for particular campaigns but after
these campaigns. the organizations
have entirely lapsed and fallen to a
low state and the next campaign,
about one half the period which
should have been devoted to active
campaign work has been required to
rebuild the organization.
It is our purpose not only to rem
edy this matter, but to make the par
ty organization a living, breathing
militant force. entirely worthy Of the
confidence which the voters Of the
state and nation have signified their
intention to place in the democratic
party at the next presidential cleo
ton.
In order to accomplish this we
must have the aid Of every good
democrat in the state; the work can
not be accomplished without great ex'
pense and patriotic sacrifice: and
every one should bear his portion OF
the burden with the same eagerness
and in the same measure that he
would enjoy the approaching victory.

produces.
Real unfettered competition might
render legal regulation unnecessary,
but under present industrial condi-
tons such competition seems next

sufficiently powerful to limit the

A BIG MAGAZINE coNsoLlpA.
TON.

Through an amalgamation just ef-
fected. three well-established and
well-known publications. are hereaf- !
ter to be published by one Company,
although no change in the policy or
personnel of editorial management
is to take place.
The Crowell Publishing Company,
owners of Woman's Home Compela-
ion and Farm and Fileside, takes lv-
er The American Magazine and will
publish 1t in conjunction with its
other two aubl;cptir q. Mr.. as)-ge
H. Hazen is President Of the Crow
ell Publishing Company; Mr.. H. j..
Fisher is General Manager.
The editors of The American Mag
azine who have been with The Phil
lips Publishing Company will contin-
ue both as editors OF and exclusive
writer's for The Crowell Publishing
Company. This group consists Of
John S. Phillips, Editor-in-chief, who
now becomes an officer and director
# the Crowell Publishing Company;
Ida NJ. Tarbell; F. P. Dunno, creator
of "Mr. Dooley:" Ray stannard
Baker; Albert A. Boydeu, and John
NJ. Siddal. Mr. William Allen White
and other writer's who have been
closely allied with The American
Magazine will continue as con.rlbut-
ors.
The three publications in quite
distinct fields are at the highest
point of success yet attained. The
Woman's Home Companion, which
occupies a powerful position in the
woman's field and whose growth
has been phenomenal, is edited by
Gertrude B. Lane and numbers on

POINTS MADE BY TAFT IN FA-
voR OF RECIPROCITY WITH
CANADA

CANADA.
The truth is as between Canada
and ourselves, reciprocity agree
ment must of necessity relate more
to agricultural products than to
manufactures.
A reciprocity agreement is give
and take; when you examine closely
this agreement you will congratulate
yourselves that we were able to make
one that covered so wide range of
subjects.
The great benefit of this treaty is
the profit in mstual exchange that
will come in response to the agricul-
tural products of both.
We shall be blind, indeed, if we
neglect this opportunity to add tc
the strength of our country by thus
increasing our self-supporting capa-
city.
The very existence of the policy
(protection) depends on our aboli-
ton of the tariff where it is not real
il ly needed.

RECIPROCITY IN LINE
WITH THE CREATORS
DESIGN.

When the Creator designed the
continent on which we live, and fix
ed its different zones OF soil and
temperature. He evidently intend
ed that the Inhabitants Of the sew
eral zones should freely exchange
their products with each other. The
great oceans ON each side Of the con
tinent, and the great rivers and
lakes In the central valleys, seem
especially designed as north and
south highways Of commerce.
The temperature Of one zone pro
duces good small grains, another
good corn, another cotton and an
other rice; and each zone is speci
ally adapted for the production o
some fruits and vegetables whicl
cannot be profitably produced in an
other. II no other means of trans
portation existed, the people OF tn
different zones could. by using tn
natural channels provided by tn
Creator, exchange their products wit
each other and all enjoy the product
Of the entire continent. The Cree
tor placed no barriers in the wa!
Only unwise men seek to defeat tn
Creators design by building tart
