self has thimbleful of horse sense
he will begin to relize that he has
entangled himself In fatal mesh.
He has notified the Inauguration
committee that Immediately after he
shall have been sworn In as governor,
he will enter the race for the senate,
expecting, of course, to be elected.
He will take solemn oath on Gods
holy word, which he says in advance
he does not intend to respect if he
can possibly help it. Other men
elected governor have afterwards be-
come candidates for the senate upon
the happening OF a vacancy which
could not have been forseen, or which
at least came about after their inau-
guratlOn as governor. The mon
strous character Of Hoke Smiths
position is that the vacancy occurred
months before the date of Inaugural
ton, and that he himself declares he
has no intention of keeping the oath
which will be administered to him.
With incredible disregard of pro-
priety and principles, he puts the leg
islature and the judiciary on notice
that in administering the gubenatori-
al oath to him, they will not be quail
flying governor of Georgia, but
will simply be grooming candidate
for the United States senate. After
such a brutally frank confession, will
not the other parties to the Inaugural
ton be placed in most unenviable
position?

Erie, Pa, Feb. 10--persistent rumors
are afloat today that it was not the
body of Mrs Anna McCollom that
was removed from the Scott family

remains Of William Scott himself.

Washington, Feb. 10.--James J..
Hill the well known liuancier AMI

of the Taft proposition to establish
tariff reciprocity between Canada and
the United states which is now be-
fore congress. Mr.. Hill stated his
views as follows:
"The proposed reciprocity agree
ment with Canada is one Of the most
important pieces of constructive
craftsmanship of our time 1t prom
iscs great benefits to both countries
without the least injury to either. 1t

I'VE are spending or preparing to
spend several hundred millions Of
dollars on enterprises supported main
ly by the assertion that they will in
crease our trade with South America.
In the last fiscal year our trade with
Canada was greater than our trade
with an the states Of South Amer
lea and Central America combined,
omitting Panama, which Is CONNER
cially "a part of our own territory In
feet The South American trade
alone was over S20,O00.000 less than
that with Canada Moreover, while
about 20 per cent of our Canadian
commerce was exports and about 80
per cent. imports. the proportions In
the South American trade were al
most exactly reversed, the exports be-
ing about 32 and the imports about
IS per cent.
From whatever point OF view IT is
regarded the reciprocity agreement
opens the largest opportunity for safe
ana prosperous development that Is
likely to come within the reach of
