Aroostook Patrons of Husbandry are
passing resolutions eondemning the
course of newspapers which claim to
be friendly to the farmer and yet sup
port the reciprocity" fake. Perhaps
these papers. which are friendly SO far
as their subscription lists 60. are
thinking only of the cost of their print
paper, like the following:
The only objection against reciprocity
with Canada which has the slightest
force. is the objection that products
controlled by the trusts, are not touched
by reciprocity. This is true, as rule.
but there is one exception. The paper
trust is hard hit by reciprocity, and it is
intimated that there will be strong
lobby i'll Washington in April to demand
an amendment to Canadian reciprocity
in the interest of the paper trust. How
does senator johnson stand on this
iSsue?-LewiSton journal.
The administration attack on the
so-called paper trust WAS a Shrewd
move to catch the support of mer-
ccnary publishers. 1t worked in such
cases as quoted, at the same time the
same paper is cursing other tariff
bunders. The farmer may 20 crawl
into woodchucks hole. SO far as such
publishers are concerned. if the print
paper makers are punished at the
same time. Such newspapers will
now argue that Taft must not yield
Oh Il single point''-because if he did il
might br ON that precious paper trust,
provision. Indeed the Lewiston jour
nal further says:
If President Taft yields at any point
to the trusts and co-opcratcS with com
bines that HOW dcprccatc the revision OF
the worst of the trust -ShclterinE schcd-
ulcS at the extra session. His t.xctllencY
viii weaken the argument for reciprocity.
because If only the agricultural schedules
are to be downwardized, there will be an
overwhelming demand at .ne next popu-
lar ballot that schedules. imposing high
cost of living on the farmer. as well as
to the man of the shop and the average
consumer, must be swept away alto
gether,
In other words these reciprocity"
organs mean: Never mind the farmer
but save US few hundred dollars a
year on print paper.

The Real Victims of Floggings.
(NcW York Times. }

What is the effect upon the woman
whose husband has been publicly
logged Tor beating? This ques-
tion is raised by the Baltimore News,
which has been conducting a vigorous
campaign against the continuance of
Maryldnd's archaic whipping post
The News asks:
How does the whipping affect her?
Will she not by reason of the law.
suffer even more in silence than at
present? Will she not suffer even
more at the hands of the brute who. at
least, has one easy method of revenge
against the outraged sentiment that
has scourged him"
In other words. does not the institu-
ton Of the cat o nine tails in Mary
land. Delaware, and in the state OF
Oregon. where there is an agitation
for its revival, serve merely to intimi-
date wives of drunken and british
husbands from entering complaints
against them? Does it not bring
upon them, also, a disgrace and stigma
that is undeserved besides sure ven
geanCe from the inCenSed coward :
Doubtless. too the Welts that rise upon
the backs of such creatures are often
50 many decorations to the souls OF
the suffering wives, whose pathetic eX-
hibitions of devotion to their un-
grateful spouSes are proverbial. But
back of these considerations is the
fundamental one that the lash never
reforms. simply brutalizes both its OBJ
ject and the civil society that tolerates
its iniiiction.
