disadvantage, loss and suffering of
our producers without any prospect
of cheaper manufactured products to
the consumer.
Third-That the removal Of the
duty on wheat will accrue solely to
the benefit of the miller, that Of bar
ley to the brewer, that Of fax seed
to the linseed mills, and that Of live
stock, hogs, poultry and dairy pro-
ducts to the packers and middlemen,
and, while not benefiting the consum-
er, will mean a great loss to the pro-
ducers.
Fourth-It Greats an unfair COM
petition. inasmuch as it will compel
our farmers to compete in our own
markets with the cheap-produced
products of alien competitors. We
contend that our home market be-
longs in the first instance to our own
citizens
F1fth-This pact. If agreed to, will
retard and set back the progress to-
wards q higher and better standard
of farm life, which has become so
noticeable during the recent pros
porous times; it will tend to bring
on again that struggle for existence
so we'll remembered by our pioneer
farmers, a struggle in which many
went under; it will lessen the op-
portunities for a better education OF
our farmers children. and thus en-
courage them in leaving the farm.
Declares Pact Will Cause Loss.
Sixth-It will lessen the purchas-
ing capacity Of our American pro-
ducers to the extent Of millions Of
dollars annually, by depriving them
Of a legitimate and fair price for
their products. All of this will rep
resent a corresponding loss to the
commercial interests Of our country,
as the farmers profit invariably finds
its way into all the channels Of trade.
Our commercial and manufacturing
interests stand to lose as much in
this way as they will gain by the
expansion Of their business
Seventh-Our American farmers,

Government Is Making Last
Effort to Test Curative
Statement Of Shippers

Washington. April 13.-In the su-
preme court OF the United States to-
day the government is making last
effort to sustain its claim to the
right to prosecute criminally under
the pure food Law Of 1906 persons
who labeled drugs: or medicines with
false statements about the curative
properties of @etr preparations.
The point arose in the United
States district court in Missouri,
where DR.. o. A. johnson was charg-
ed with having shipped in Interstate
commerce drugs which he stated
would cure cancer but which the
government claims; "were entirely in
effective and worthless for that pur-
pose"
1t is claimed on behalf Of Johnson
that II the law 10. to be interpreted
as forbidding' a statement about the

equitable trade OF exchange between
two countries of products which one
country produces and the other does
not, or which it produces only in suf-
ficient quantities. We produce every
thing in this country that is produced
in Canada.
Ninth-It constitutes an agreement
made secretey, and without regard to
any settled policies of our tariff laws.
1t means FREQ trade for the farmer
and protection for the manufacturer,
and as such is discrimination in its
rankest form.
Asserts Right to Home Market.
Tenth-That in trading off our
home market of over 9O0OO,OOO peo-
pie, a market that is and has been
abundantly supplied by our own pro-
ducers, a market that has been built
up by American thrift and frugality,
and which by every inherent right
and heritage belongs to our produ-
GERS, for that of 100000 Canadi-
ans, with its doubtful increased ad-
vantages to commercial and manu-
featuring interests, would not only
be unfair and unjust to our own pro-
ducers but foolish and reprehensible.
Eleventh-This proposed treaty,
when divested of its sentimental fea-
lures, can and will appeal only to
those who are selfishly interested,
and who expect to gain thereby. AS
a whole it will be a damage rather
than a benefit to our country. In it's
present form it should not be rati-
fled.
Twelfth-We repudiate the action
Of President Taft, large manufacur-
ing concerns, chambers. of commerce
and the management of the Great
Northern railway in attempting to
force the so-called reciprocity agree
ment through congress without CIV
ing the people at large an opportu-
nifty to give it due consideration or
to express their opinions. We re-
gret exceedingly that the city press
has failed to give publicity to both
sides of this most important ques-
| tion.
Blames the Middlemen.
Thirteenth-The proposed pact
would not reduce the cost Of living
1t would not benefit the laboring
man. the mechanic or artisan in the
great cities, as the exorbitant prices
paid by them for produce is not oc-
casioned by the price received by the
farmer, but is the result of the ex-
cessive charges made by the railroads
and middlemen. The farmer only re-
ceives 35 per cent of the price paid
by the consumer, while the trans
portation companies and middlemen
receive the other 65.
Fourteenth-We hereby express
our thanks to all those newspapers OF
our state who in this controversy
have risen above consideration of sci.
fshness, and have defended the farm.

danger, and we mention expressly the
Northwestern Agriculturist, the
Farm, Stock and Home and the
Farmer. and we also thank all mem
bers of Our legislature and othel
citizens who have interested them
1 selves in calling this meeting.
Fifteenth-We urge on all of oul
citizens who are in favor of fail
play and equality before the law te
make continuous and effective agita.
tion against this treaty.
Sixteenth-That copies of these
resolutions be sent to the president

1t should be determined to install water
meters more rapidly than a careful hus-
bandry of the present revenues of the
water department would justify, then
the extra cost of the same should be
of the District and the other half by the
United States government. or a special
loan from the United States government
might be provided for this purpose: the
Districts proportionate part of said loan
which under the act of .s7S would be
one-half, to be paid back. from year to
year, out of the general revenues of the
District. Such an installation to be
made practically at one time, or in the
immediate future, would be an extra
ordinary expense. and an increase OF
the water plant more for the benefit of
the citizens of future years than those
of the present, and should be paid for
by those who receive its
benefits in the future than by those at
the present time.
We believe, also. that water should be
served to the citizens of Washington at

BUCHANAN NOT IN NAVY.
Seaman Still Has Large
Business Interests in Turkey.

PARIS, September 3O.-The views as TO
the reasons for Italy's move on Tripoli
expressed by YoussOuf Zia Pasha. the
Turkish ambassador in Washington, do
not seem to be shared by the Turkish en-
bassy in Paris. The first secretary of the
Paris embassy said that he did not believe
Italy's step was the result of secret
agreement among the powers attending
the Berlin conference in 1877, whereby
the powers are alleged to have given
Italy the assurance that Europe would
permit her to accomplish the pacific pene-
tratiOn of Tripoli He said: $50 far as 1
know, Italy was at that time politely but
firmly shown out.
AS to the suggestion contained in the
latter part of Youssouf Zia's statement
that Americas attitude at this junction
may be Influenced by the hope Of gaining
the favor of the Turkish parliament in the
matter of the concession for railroad in
Asia Minor, the secretary declined to ex-
press any opinion.
Asked about the present position of
Capt. r. Buchanan in the Turkish navy
the secretary stated that although Capt
Buchanan retained large business Interests
in Turkey, he had not been connect ed
with the navy since 1909. The secretary
denied the rumor that Capt Bucknam
might now be asked to assume the com
mand of the Turkish fleet.

TROUBLE BEGAN IN 1878.
Italy Charges Mistreatment and In
ability to Get Redress.

The trouble between Turkey and Italy
dates back to 1878, when. with the
making Of the treaty concluding the
Russo-Turkish war, the powers are un-
derstood to have agreed to permit Italy
a pacific penetration of Tripoli." Tur-
key asserts that this right has been re-
spected ever since. Italy has colonized
Tripoli until her interests in that African
province are very great. She has assert
ed, however, that her subjects have been
mistreated by the Ottoman authority and
constantly Disseminated against. Ere
quent disputes have arisen, but the pro-
longed negotiations have never resulted
satisfactorily to Italy.
At the time the Franco-German differ
ences regarding Morocco were acute Italy
turned her attention again to Tripoli, and
in subsequent negotiations with Con-
stantinople set forth that many outra ges
against her subjects had been perpet rated
and for which no redress had been made.
She assumed a decisive attitude and pres
emily began the mobilization Of her army
and navy.
a few days ago the first squadron of
the Italian navy was sent to Tripolitan
waters, and Ii has since patrolled that
coast. At the same time Turkey was
warned not to send soldiers nor munitions

bearing few men and arms and amlnu.

ground that she had sailed before the

to proceed to Tripoli other points

INTEREST IN FORESTRY PAPER.
Article Deals With Relation of
Stream Flow and Covering.

Notice has been received at the Depart
ment of Agriculture Of the publica ton of
paper by Prof. Meade of the University
OF Minnesota on the relation between
stream flow and forest covering. This
was one of the subjects about which
there was great deal of discussion in
connection with Clifford Pinchots admin
istration of the forest service and his
efforts at conservation.
AT that time Prof, Willis Moore of the
weather bureau issued "a statement that
attracted much attention, disagreeing
with Mr. Pinchot and saying that forest
covering had nothing to do with stream
flow The interest in Prof. Meades paper
in the Department OF Agriculture lies in
the fact that ii goes into the subject I'm
great detail and supports the view ex-
pressed by Prof. Moore and the depart
ment at that time that the removal of
forest covering was not responsible for
floods.

RETURN OF THE HELENA.
Gun boat Has Been to the Disturbed

\ further sign of the restoration of
peaceful conditions in the Chinese
province of SZechuan. where there had
been rioting against the government

ceipt- of an apparently purely routine

been sent by Admiral Murdoch up
the Yangtse river about $50 miles
above Hankow, to get as near pos
sible TO the American missionaries who
were living at Chengtu and vicinity
n the center of the province. and her

that there is no longer need for her
