CANADA AND RECIPROCITY.


North Dakotans and others who have
recently travelled over Canada seem
practically unanimous in their opinion
that the Canadians win defeat the re-
ciprocity pact.
The opponents OF the measure have
several strong cards. All the fernist-
the-government fellows are opposed to
the plan--just because Laurier wants
II.
The anti-annexationists are making
q big hullabaloo over the prediction
that it viii lead to the U. s. gobbling
up Canada.
The railroads and the manufacturing
interests are against 1t.
The farmers are not enthuslng over
the proposition as strongly as was pre-
dicted.
These and other causes--it In insist
ed--wilI defeat the measure and tho
treaty may never be refined.
There win be a great many in tn ,
u. s. who will not weep il Canada does
turn the proposition down. Hundreds
OF thousands Of American farmers win
greatly rejoice il the Canadians re-
ject the proposition. =
Politically. 1t would greatly relieve
the situation in the western part of
the United States and really help the
republican party-despite OF the fact
that President Taft is the sponsor for
the treaty. II the treaty fails Of rati-
fication on the other side of the line
the acute soreness Of the agricultural
interests of the middle west will be
relieved and the bitterness against the
administration modified.
While the passage Of the reciprocity
act by congress and it's exploitation by
President Taft greatly delighted the
people of the eastern and southern
states--there is no denying the opposi-
ton sentiment in the middle west--es.
pectally in the agricultural states.

for honoring the men who have digni-

usual weekly quarrel, you told me to
economize, and here when I'm doing
it, you object. You're an old crouch;

be patient.

Purchasing Power of Days Work.
New York American: experts from
the department of commerce and la
Dor have begun what promises TO be
an exhaustive investigation OF the
cost of living problem. Among the
multitude of legislative and Depart
mental inquests now going on nothing
is so important as this, so central In
its significance.
Most Of the issues In the life OF a
nation turn upon the rise or fall Of
the purchasing power OF an average
days work.
Experts. acting under the direction
Of the department OF agriculture,
have recently reported that the in
creased cost of food products In the
retail markets IL not due to any rise
In the rewards Of farming. They fur
nished evidence that In general the
farmers Of the United States receive
less for their labor than they did ten
years ago. In view OF the present
prospect that meat prices win &c
higher this fall than ever before with
in fifteen years the people long with
great eagerness to know what il
the matter.

force without which the world would

RIGHTS TO THE AIR.

In spite Of the multiplicity of laws
enacted each yoar-the statute books
seem unable to keep UP with the prog
ress of science. The rules Of conduct
which apply to the earth and the sea
have been pretty thoroughly laid down
by legislators-but the air remains a
virtually new field for the legal mind.

there must be laws explicitly defining
