HUMBUGGING THE PUBLIC.
mason City Times1.
All the talk of which 80 much use
il being made IN the campaign for the
reciprocity bill in its present form that
1t is an attack upon the vested inter-
ests OF the trusts. and that the trusts
are resenting It and fighting It. IS
simply made up to give the advocates
of reciprocity something TO talk about.
Trere is not vestige Of reasonable
ness or truth to be found In It.
The proposed pact removes the
tariff upon what the farmer produces
without altering the tariff In any way
on what he consumes. It may reduce
the value OF his home market to the
farmer, but it can not benefit him In
his export market and relieves him
from none Of the tariff enactiorS Of
which he complains.
In all the literature dealing with the
tariff during the last fifteen years. in
the files of all the newspapers pos
sessed OF a leaning towards tariff re-
form there has never been q reference
to the duties upon agricultural pro-
ducts as tariff grievance. These dut-
les have not entered within the range
Of practical discussion. Much has been
said about the duties upon mining ma
chinery, agricultural machinery. coal,
cement, cotton and wooden goods, and
boots and shoes, and such like. rs plac-
ing a heavy burden upon producers in
their capacity as consumers. but dut-
les on agricultural products have been
neglected, have reused no discussion.
and embittered no controversy.
Yet Just the moment at which II IL
proposed to abolish those duties, re-
serdtng which no complaint has been
made as a substitute and alternative
for the revision Of the duties against
which complaints has been continuous
and severe. all the administration or
gans Immediately drop the considers

DEMocRAcYs CANDIDATES.
[cedar Rapids Gazette].

lSSooA INtPluS NrdASlSCJ.
! Interest in next years presidential
campaign centers in the possibilities
OF the democratic situation, rather
than in the possibilities in the republi-
can camp. This may be explained IN
part because 1t seems likely President
Taft will be renominated by the re-
publicans and because there is a quite
general belief in the probability of his
defeat
If there liz a great possibility OF a
certain party's success, the people are
naturally interested in the personality
OF the nominee. That Is why there Is
much gossip concerning the probable
candidate of democracy. sn
Stranger things have happened In
politics than that Mr.. Bryan himself
be the candidate. The Nebraskan Is
in the prime of life and vigor, mental
and physical. and he is almost idolized
by millions Of his party associates. He
is one Of the party's greatest men and
his greatness ls not dimned by three
defeats Mr.. Bryan ID not seeking the
nomination. and he may not she nomi-
mated, but he win at least be an active
factor in the pre-conyention campaign.
The other most likely possibilities are
Wilson, Of New Jersey, Harmon, Of
OhlO, AnO FOLK ia tHe oIuSS AaAsH0o'
with Folk poor third. Tho ex-gover-
nor Of Missouri is not In tho public
eye so much as are Wilson and Har-
mon: nor has he the following that
either Of the others possesses. Wilson
has the bulk OF the support OF the radi-
Gals, many Of whom would naturally
be for Folk. Harmon attracts . strong
following among the conservatives,
and as they are often very. influential
without apparently having preponder-
ance of numbers, his nomination 10 not
at all unlikely.
The developments OF the next few
months in democratic ranks VIII form
an interesting chapter of American po-
litical history, and in the meantime
the part that Mr.. Bryan plays will at
tract a great deal of popular attention.

Special by United Press.
Oklahoma City, Jan. l3.-Meeting at
the usual hour, o'clock, this after
noon, both houses took up routine
work, nothing out Of the ordinary
marking the proceedings in the early
part OF the days session. Both
branches of the legislature are now III
good working order and are expected
soon to be turning out law.
County Division and Fee Bill.
Two Of the big propositions pending
in the present legislature. the bill for
the repeal OF the county division law
and the sheriffs' fee bill, were up for
consideration Thursday and both were
beset with troubles.
The county division bill, fathered in
the senate by Smith of Caddo county
and in the house by Harris, Logan and
Fuller, which is intended to head Of
Seger, Cook, Cache and several other
proposed new counties in the south
western part of the state, was advanced
to third reading ip the senate, but was
sent back to the committee by its
friends in the house in order to save
it from further trouble.
If the senate bill is passed by that
body, as seems probable, the house bin
may never be resurrected. The senate
passed similar bill last spring, but It
was killed in the house.
The sheriffs' bill, which went through
the house on a creased track, will be
passed by the senate, but in a. con-
siderably modified form. That much
developed during the debate Thursday
afternoon. The bill is now in the hands
of special committee, which is exl
pected to iron out the differences OF
opinioa that have been manifested III
regard to it.
The Mnskogee fair bill Is still in the
hands of the senate committee.

was out Of shells.
Greer returned to the city for more

shots were fired at him. He finally got
across the river and came to a stand.
