The conditions were never better for

obtained during the early part OF the
season. Corn was laid by much earlier

THE ASSAULT ON RECIPROCITY
New York Herald Bitterly Arralgns
Republicans Who Are Opposing
Its Passage.

When great Caesar, standing at bay
beside Pompey's statue, realized that
not only envious Casca and lean and
hungry Cassius, but also the well be-
loved Brutus, sought his life, he ut
tered the cry Of sorrow, amazement
and reproach that has come echoing
down to us through the ages.
President Taft has equal cause for
grief and indignation when the reci-
procity bill for which he labored with
such zeal is feloniously attacked by
men highly placed in the councils OF
the nation and supposed to be his
friends.-New York Herald,
This Is a terrible thrust at Elihu
Root and others who would slaughter
the reciprocity bill by the method OF
asking for amendments that cannot be
adopted.
If Canadian reciprocity shall fail, it
will be through the action Of Republi-
can United States senators. The Re
publican president favors 1t, and the
Democratic house Of representatives
has adopted it.
Can it be consigned to the tomb
through the cunning Of Elihu Root?

People May Be Trusted.

A year ago today the World said Of
Mr.. R~oosevelt's return: What Mr..
Roosevelt proposes to do must inevi-
tably be interesting, but what the
American people propose to do is of
vital consequence, for 1t is they who
establish the tendencies that make for
progress or disaster" The political
events Of this last year in their rela-
ton to R~ooseveltism cannot fail to in
spire every believer in republican in
situations with new confidence, for
they have again v%indicated the genius
of democracy for sober s~elf-govern-
ment.-New York World.

time that a catcher throws the ball back to the
pitcher until he delivers it again, a batter
should never take his eyes off the pitcher.
All of the grooves of batters are carefully
catalogued. Every hitter in baseball, with the
possible exception Of Lajoie and Wagner, is sup.
posed to have what is known to the profession
as a groove" a certain real or imagined weak
ness. Some pitchers work to fool a batter, and
others aim at his groove" Young and Powell
are of the second type, and it is this style OF
pitcher that / always try to make pitch to the
limit. as they have to depend absolutely on
their control.
The catcher is obviously included in the
guessing match which always results when a
batter faces a pitcher. I recall a funny instance
