Doctor Broughton in a ridiculous situation?

to Booker, boiling over with confidence in the
negro and with indignation against the white

Strange to say, the Southern press has been
silent about the termination of the case. Some
powerful influence has apparently been at
work to hush the matter up.

The Elson book is most unfair to the South.
in every thing connected with slavery and Sc
cession
On pages 638 and 8, for instance he asserts
that the North exhausted every effort at
reconciliation with the South. Just the CON-
trd9y Is the truth.
He represents the "Slave Power as precp-
ltating the war when as every lad of fifteen
ought to know, it was caused by the rabid
fanaticism which inspired such men as Gar
rison and Phillips to denounce the Constitu-
ton as a "Le0gue qCith death and q covenant
qcith hez," AND TO CLAMOR FOR DIS
UNION. The same blind hatred of the South
was the incentive of the John Brown raid.
But the most disgusting part of Elson's
book is to be found on page $50. where he
sweepingly accuses shareholders of debasing
their wives to the position of head concubines
of harems, and of selling their own sons and
daughters In the slave market.
There were, unQuestiOnably, too many in
stances where slave-oWners made concubines

the South enormous in Jury. She described
her oaom life, on Georgia plantation, as be-
ing typical On the contrary, what she was
forced to endure, in her magnificent home on
ST. Slmon's Island. was an exception to the
rule.
The white women of the South would never
have submitted to the degradation pictured
in Elsons book Just as Fanny Kemble re-
belled against it, and deserted the husband
who so wantonly outraged her wifely pride,
so the Southern women would have rebelled

to their masters. Everybody knows that. The

EDITORIAL NOTES
BY j. I'D. WATSON

u
wv regular session the eyes of the people are
once more turned towards Washington-the
Tariff question is again the uppermost question
on every ones mind
Just what Mr. Taft's message will contain
whether he will refer to the Tariff in his gen.
eral message, or whether he will wait and give
special attention to the matter in special
message is yet to be learned, but it seems to be
generally conceded that he will try to hide
the Tariff issue by overshadowing it with the
Trust issue-he will try to divert the atten-
ton of the people from the vital ISSUE
In his effort to fool the people Mr.. Taft will
be unsuccessful In his last swing around the
country, Mr.. Taft said at Detroit, Mich: II
am entirely opposed to an amendment to the
Anti Trust law. We did get along with COM
petition; we can get along with it. We did
get along without monopoly; we can get
along without it; and the business men Of this
country must square themselves to that neces-
sitv"
So anything that Mr.. Taft may say in his
message about the Antitrust law will be
merely rehash of what he has said in his
public speeches unless he has again Topped as
he did when he vetoed the wool and wooden
schedule after denouncing it as indefensible.
From the time of his nomination for the
Presidency in 1905 Mr.. Taft has been prom
Using the people revision of the tariff down
it was what elected him President
But it is history now that instead of getting
a revision downward. as promised by the Re
publican party, as we'll as the Republican par
tvs candidate, we got revision upward. In
stead of relieving the burdens Of the people,
the Republican Congress increased them by
passing the Infamous PayneAldrich bill,
which the President signed made law, and
pronounced the best tariff measure that we
have ever had
After this, when public opinion became too
strong for even the standpat element Of the
Republican party to face without fear, Mr..
Taft made that celebrated speech in which he
declared Schedule "N' (the wool and wooden
schedule) "indefensible"- admitting that the
people were being robbed by the Wooden
Trust
Then the campaign of 1910 in which the
standpat element of the Republican party was
swept from power-the people saying by their
ballots that the Republicans had broken their
pledges-they could no longer be trusted-the
country demanded relief from the Payne-Al-
drich bill, but there would be no relief so long
that element of the Republican party re-
NAMED in power.
We all know how Democratic House of
Representatives was eected-how states that
had been Republican for years went Demo-,
cratic-how many Of the standpat element
were afraid to offer for reelection because de-
feat stared them in the face.
In extra session the Democratic House. un-
der the leadership of Hon. Oscar Underwood
OF Alabama passed the reform Tariff measures
they then went to the Senate where the
Democrats were forced to accept compromises
because OF the treachery of Bailey of Texas
and the absence of Hoke Smith of Georgia, on
one occasion), but even these compromise

CLAY ROBINSON Il CO.'S
MARKET LETTER

Sioux City, Feb. 25-A liberal
run of fat cattle at eastern centers
and restricted demand for beef has
had the customary bearish influence
on this branch of the trade. The
markets have for the week on fat
and killing stock shown a loss of
10 to Is cents. Veal calves were not
carried down with other grades.
Order buyers did not purchase as
freely as on last week. Beeves are
quotable at $500 to s6.15; butcher
stock 1915 to 1928; Gamers and
cutters $2.75 to $3.50; veal calves
$500 to $500 and bulls $500 to
$500.
After opening the week at 10 to
Is cents higher the undertone to
the stocker and feeder trade has
been bearish and the advance has
been lost due to the fact that the
country demand failed to keep pace
with marketing. Dealers have been
able 10 make only fair clearance
Quotations: Feeders s4.75 to $3.50:
calves and yearlings $4.25 to 1925,
and feelings cows and stock heifers
1915 to $3.50.
Under increased marketing the
undertone to the hog trade has been
bearish and prices are big dime
lower than week ago. Saturdays

range of $3.50 to 1926 and a bulk
of $6.67 1-2 to $6.s2 1-2.

week. Lambs are quotable at $500

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY
CHAMPIONED BY MANN.
One of the Builders Of the Canadian
Northern Takes Views Con-
trary to Fasteners.

Chicago, Feb. 28.- Sir Donald
Mann, in an open letter to Chicago
associate in the building of the Can
adam Northern Railway declares for
the reciprocity program between the
United States and Canada. He said:
II do not say that the people
Cover SO per cent of our total popu-
lation) who are engaged in produc-
ing are the greatest in the country,
but they are certainly engaged In the
work Of greatest benefit to the ma
tion--the creation of wealth.
The products of the farm, of the
sea, and of the mine are entitled to
especial consideration. Nor should
the lumbermen be overlooked. Tim
Der is crop which ripens and
should be reaped. If it is not so it
deteriorates. He who cuts down one
ripe tree and plants one more in it's
place is producer of wealth.
IF we have seven or eight million
people in Canada, with free market
Tor the producer, and to that num-
Der we add the 95 millions in the
United States, We are assisting the
most important Industries in Canada.
Next in Importance to the produ-
Ger comes the manufacturer, and it
is the duty of the government to
produce increased market facilities
for both. The United States has al
most ceased to export cattle, and
may soon cease to export wheat The
balance between production and con-
sumption is drawing nearer adjust
ment. II it were possible to prevent
grain from coming south, without in
jury to the producer, l would say
avoid a treaty or other reciprocal ar
rangement, but it is beyond our
power to hold our wheat within the
British territory. The United States
can remove the tariff whenever it
suits her convenience to do so, with
out consulting us.
with regard to the export of
wheat Canada will have her own line
OF railway across the continent as
we'll as ships upon the sea. This will
enable them to take grain for EXPORT
from the producer to the consumer,
without any division of rates, and in
the same way, manufactured goods
as return cargoes from the producer
TO the consumer in the west. On the
other hand, going south through the
United States, wheat for export would
have to pass over three or four lines
OF railways. and thence by indepen-
dent vessels to European markets.
This through rate, which is necessar-
lily low, would be divided between
three or four transportation COM
panies, making it impossible to COM
pete with the Canadian through line.
Depend upon it, Canadian railways
handling natural products of the
west for export will retain the traffic
on their own tracks and in their own
vessels to destination.
Personally would prefer to have
preference between the United
Kingdom and the Dominion, and be-
tween the Dominion and other Col
onies. This preference should be
increased from time to time, until,
say in rs years, the cost of produc-
ton would reach common point
throughout the empire. Then we
would be, able to have free trade
within the Empire and protection
against the non-British nations
