Tennessee is Improving since Gov.

Tennessee. is improving since Gov.
Ben w. Hooper succeeded to the
executive chair" said Newell Saund-
ers of Chattanooga. chairman of the
Republican state committee. "And
there is less crime than there has
been In years" added Mr.. Sanders.
This is because Gov. Hooper has
done away with the pardon business.
Since he has been governor Of Ten
nessee there has been only one par
don, and that was of woman who
was dying of tuberculosis. On the
last day Of the former administration
there were twenty-five, pardons. Nio-
lators Of the law have been served
with notice that they need not ex,
pect clemency from the governor,
and this has operated to minimize
crime. Why, in Chattanooga, where
until a few months ago intoxicants
could be had openly in saloons and
the hotels bars are closed tight, and
their proprietors in many cases are
under suspended Workhouse sentence.
The Republican, party in Tennessee
is reapipg the rewards of it's long
battle for reform. The strong hand
Of Gov. Hooper is making the law re-
spected.
"Yes. the Republicans feel very
good. over the victory won last No

shall win another, and IL we get. a
square deal in the legislative gerry

expect to see the state redistricted
SO that the present Third and Fourth
congressional districts will give Re-
publican majorities. The lower
house Of the Tennessee legislature
has sixty-seyen Democrats and sixty
six Republicans and the senate ia

sons to believe that the state will be
fairly redistrfcted. Senator Luke Lea

Dakota farmer just explain why the
farmers of this state will not be in
jured when this wheat market is
combined with competing market
SO far below our own as the above
table shows the Canadian market to
be? Will the difference remain or
will the price go down to the Cana
dian level? No one has ever seen an
extra supply Of any commodity send
the prices upward when thrown on
the market. But the reverse is true.
Why does not Canada have mar
ket price equal to that of this coun-
try? Simply because she has not the
demand. II she wants to make such
a market, let her build up q great
consuming market in the manufac-
turing centres at the expense of her
farmers just as the American home
market has been built up from the
sweat and toll Of the farmers of this
country. 1t may take them forty
years to do it just as it has taken to
build up the home market here; it
may lay burdens in the form of high
er prices on her farmers just as it
has done here. But let no American
farmer sit in silence while the mar
kets that he has built up are taken
bodily from him and turned over to
the Canadian farmers.
II it will not injure US to have free
trade in grain, why have our prices
been 80 far above those of Canada?
The argument Is like that Of the
young lawyer who said his client
could not be put in jail, when he
was already there.

FOR THE WORLD PEACE.

A news item states a diplomatic
expectation that in a short time an
will be made of the
agreement Of the other governments
to the principle Of arbitration outlin-
ed by President Taft and warmly en-
dorsed by Prime Minister Asquith
and the vast majority of the English
nation. France has announced its
endorsement Of the principle. 1t is
asserted that japan is ready to join
such an agreement. The enthusiastic
author Of the news item asserts that
the agreement of these four nations
could compel the other nations to
agree to the Limitation Of armaments
and to sign agreements for world
wide arbitration treaty"
While the union Of the United
States. England. France and Japan
would exercise great influence in
favor Of the world peace, it is doubt
full II under the terms Of a peace
compact it would undertake to com.
pei other nations to abstain from
what has been heretofore recognized
as among the Inherent functions OF
national government. Whatever com.

THE UNANSWERED ARGUMENT.

The statement that Canadian reci-
procity will not effect the price of
wheat is like the story of the prison
or in Jail who sent for a young law
yer to defend him. The prisoner ex-
plained the charges against him to
the attorney and the latter with the
pomposity born Of inexperience de-
clared that It was impossible to put
the prisoner in Jail for such an Of
Tense. NO." said the prisoner, "they
can't do 1t. They have done it. }"
All Of last year wheat sold for nearly
eleven cents less per bushel on a
general average for the year in Ca
NADIA than 1t did in this country.
The following table Of cash wheat at
the close Of the market at Winnipeg
which IL Port Arthur prices
Minneapolis on the same grade will
show the difference. The figures are

uary Of 1911, With the exception of
the blanks which dates were holi-
