Reciprocity With Canada.

The House Of Representatives has
risen nobly to the proposition Of Presi-
dent Taft and, for its part, ratified the
reciprocal trade agreement with Can
ada by a wide margin of votes that
leaves no doubt whatever of the over
whelming popularity of this great con-
tinental policy. The Messenger regrets
that greater number of Republican
members of the House did not see their
way clear to hold up the hands of the
president and party leader in this sig
nal craftsmanship but permitted the
honor of its sanction TO go largely to
the Democrats. 1t may be that some
of them sought to represent their con-
stituency rather than themselves in their
vote, and The Messenger certainly hopes
this Is true of the Vermont delegation.
A congressman treads no primrose path
when it comes to deciding between what
he believes to be popular sentiment at
home and his own academic convictions
on public measures, and opinions vary
as to whether he should vote his own
convictions or with his ear TO the ground.
And as this government OF ours is said
to be both representative govern
ment, and one of delegated powers"
in either designation may be found a
sufficient basis for either opinion.
The Messenger believes the broad prin-

rocal trade relations with Canada Is
greater than the detail Of any schedule
that has been or Is likely to be made
under it. The Messenger believes it il
the duty Of the craftsmanship Of to.
day to adopt the principle While Cam
ada is willing, to improve the oppor
tunity before it has passed. Then time
and experience win suggest such modif-'
cations of details as viii be Just to both
parties to the contract. And they may
be de as mere ineidentals to routine
legislation without disturbing the public
confidence in the principle at all
So far as Vermont is concerned, The
Messenger is inclined TO believe that
the greater number Of thoughtful citi-
zens are in favor Of reciprocity with
Canada and would vote for the ratifica-
tion of this agreement at a popular ref
erendum much in the spirit this paper
has suggested. They would adopt the
principle now and shape its applica-
tion afterward The fact is, however,
that the Vermonters most opposed to
the ratification of the agreement are
the most active. Our farmer ueighbors
who have been led to believe that their
personal interests will suffer BY this
agreement have been particularly con
spieuous and eager in opposition to it.
Outnumbering them, two to one are the
people of contrary mind, but that are
not moved by such Immediately person
al considerations actively to demonstrate
their faith
If this bill passes the Senate, some
day, in The Messengers opinion, it win
be conceded on the page of history that
President Taft was instrumental in the
adoption of great continental policy
that made two powerful nations identi-
cal in every material interest and an
ticipated by many years the evolution
of that economic and political common
sense that is eventually 10 furl all the
battle flags of tariffs in the parliament

STOMACH TROUBLE
Indigestion, Gas, Heartburn or Dyspep-
STA Go and You Feel Fine Five
Minutes After Taking a Little

distress or indigestion would vanish in
I'VE minutes and you would feel fine.

anything you eat and overcome a sour,
out-of-order stomach before you real
ize it.
If your meals don't tempt you, or
what little you do eat seems to fill you,
or lays like a lump of lead in your
stomach, or if you have heartburn, that
is sign Of indigestion.
Ask your pharmacist for a 50-eent
case OF Papes Diapepsin and take a
little just as soon as you can. There
will be no sour risings, no belching Of
undigested food mixed with acid, no
stomach gas or heartburn, fullness or
heavy feeling in the stomach, nausea, de-
blitating headaches, dizziness or mites.
final gripping, This will all 20, and,
besides, there viii be no undigested food
left over in the stomach TO poison your
breath with nauseous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin is certain cure for
-of-order stomachs, because it pre-
vents fermentation and takes hold Of
your food and digests it just the same
as if your stomach wasn't there.
Relief in five minutes from all stomach
misery is at any drug store waiting for
you.
These large 50-cent cases contain more
than sufficient to thoroughly cure almost
any case Of dyspepsia, indigestion or any
other stomach disturbance.
