Secretary Wilson to Use Influence
to Down the Opposition Of
Grangers to Reci-
procity Pact.
URGENT APPEAL FOR SUPPORT
President Taft Confident That Will
sons Logic Will Prevail Upon
Agrcultur;sts to Endorse
Proposed Treaty.

Washington, ID. c.. Feb. 20.-While
President Taft does not believe that
the opposition of the farmers of this
country to the proposed reciprocity
agreement with Canada is nearly so
deep p-rooted or so widespread as some
persons are endeavoring to have il APP
pear to be, he nevertheless recognizes
the fact that such opposition exists
and is likely to prove very troublesome
in bringing about the consummation Of
the proposed agreement unless it is
overcome. Consequently his most ur-
gent appeals and his most persuasive
arguments in behalf of the measure
are now being directed to the Ameri-
can farmer.
In line with the Presidents recipro-
city campaign will be the trip of Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wilson to Buffa-
10 tomorrow. where he is to deliver a
Washington's Birthday address before
the Ellicott Club of that city. Secre-
tafy Wilson in his address will pur-
sue the same line of argument in re-
gard to reciprocity used by the Presi-
dent i'm his recent speeches in Colum-
bus and Springfield, but will go more
into the details of the plan and the
manner in which it may be expected
to affect the interests of the American
farmer His speech will be a direct
reply to the arguments going the
rounds that the farmers and farmer
organizations of the country are OPP
posed to Canadian reciprocity
President Taft believes the Secretary
of Agriculture is probably the best-in-
formed man In the entire country on
all that affects the interest of the
farmers and he is sure that his argu-
ment on reciprocity will be valuable.
1t is declared by sources close to the
administration that the National
Grange, which has been widely quoted
as opposing the agreement, has not
acted as an organization and that the
entire clamor has been made by few
of the officers of the organization who
are personally opposed to reciprocity
and are seeking to have the organiza-
tion indorse their views.

Predicts a Drawn Out, Wasting
Fight in Mexico Unless the
Government Grants a
Reform of Evils.
CRITICIzfS U. S. NEUTRALITY
Declares This Country Should be More
Strict Than it Is. Praises
Fighting Qualities Of "cow-
boy Insurgents"

Paris, Feb. 20.-Reviewing the crisis
in Mexico today for the Associated
Press, Jose Ives Limantour, minister of
finance in the Diaz cabinet, declared
the only basis for peace was that the
Insurgents lay down their arms pend
ing negotiations with the government
which on its part should grant reform
of the evils that made the revolution
possible.
The only alternative he foresaw was
the probability of long lasting
struggle, for" said the minister, 1.-The
Federal troops are no match for the
cowboy Insurgents"
In the opinion of Limantour, the
Feudal system i'm Mexico must go and
the great estates in the north. which
have passed from family to family,
should be distributed among the peo-
pie. For himself, the minister said. he
had no political ambitions. though he
had been frequently urged to contest
the presidency with President DiaZ.
He expects to start home within two
weeks.
Il dislike to touch on the delicate
question of neutrality" continued the
Mexican, but l am convinced the
United States Interpretation is too re-
stricted. Unless it is enlarged it will
seriously imperil the governments
chances of quelling the revolution
Mexico prevents the Guatemalan Rev
olutionists from remaining near the
frontier, just as France at the time of
the Portuguese revolution forced the
Carists living near the Spanish from
tier to remove at least 200 kilometers
from the border, on the ground their
nearness constituted a menace to a
friendly power.
why cannot the United States
adopt the same attitude. and not on
iy arrest armed revolutionists IL found
crossing into Mexico. but also prevent
Revolutionary meetings and the de-
spatch of arms and ships?"

ARIZONA CANT

PRESENT CONGRESS is OPPOSED
TO CONSTITUTION AS 1T NOW
STANDS-WILL DEFER
ACTION.

Washington, Feb. 20.-Statehood
for Arizona is impossible of accom-
plishment at this session of congress
for two reasons: primarily because
the returns Of the election held on
February 9, cannot be canvassed and
certified under the law, In time TO
reach Washington for action by con-
gress. and secondarily, because this
congress is opposed to the constitution
as drawn. Such is the view hitherto
expressed by Delegate Ralph Came
ron from that territory and today re-
iterated
Mr.. Cameron said he had seen no
reason TO alter his opinion, expressed
just prior to the election, that the
constitution would not be ratified by
this congress, but that he rather had
been strengthened therein. He quot
ed the act enabling the people OF
Arizona TO form a constitution and
tate~government to support his state
ment of the impossibility Of securing
any action on the instrument at this
session. That act calls for the can
vassing board TO meet in Phoenix,
February p. Its work necessarily
would consume at least one day, prob
ably more. Then five days or so would
be required for the papers to reach
Washington. where they would have
to go to the secretary of the interior,
thence to the attorney general and
thence TO congress, where committee
considerations and possibly commit
tee hearings would take up some time.
Thus. with adjournment fixed for
March 4, there would be no chance for
action.

SacO Man Prizes Lead Pencil.

E. X. Seaman of Saco possesses a
lead pencil which he prizes highly
Mr.. Seaman has carried 1t in his
pocket for the past ten years and its
history was forcibly called to mind
by the death a few days ago of VIII
liam S. Noyes of Saco, a friend and
acquaintance of Mr.. Seaman. When
the late Amos l.. Allen was nominal
ed for his last term in Congress at
the Republican district convention In
Portland, both Mr.. Seaman and Mr.
Noyes were delegates, and Mr.. Noyes
was elected secretary of the conven.
ton. This of necessity called fol
writing material and Mr.. Noyes
found that he had no pencil, where
upon Mr.. Seaman came to his res.
cue with a loan of the pencil. Al
the close of the meeting Mr. Scam
man was careful to see that his prop
erty was returned and has treasured
| it ever since. Since the death of
Congressman Allen and Mr.. Noyes he
takes good care that he does not lose
the memento.
