JUNE.
@, queenly month of indolent repose,
drink thy breath in sips of rare per
fume,
As in the down lap OF clover-bloom
nestle like a drowsy child and doze
The lazy hours away. The zephyr
throws
The shifting shuttle of the summers
And weaves damask-work of gleam
and gloom
Before thy listless feet. The lily
\ bugle-cal of fragrance Ger the
glade;
And wheeling into ranks, with plume
and spear
The harvest-armies gather on parade ;
While, faint and far away. yet pure
and clear,
a voice calls out Of alien lands of
shade;
All hail the Peerless Goddess of the
Year,

Denunciation
BEFORE THE SENATE TODAY
WANTS TO KNOW WHY, FARMERS
MUST BE SACRIFICED WHILE
THE MILLERs ARE PROTECTED
SAYS PRESIDENT HAS Elk.
cEEDED RIGHTS.

Washington, ID. c.. June Ex-senator
Nelson of Minnesota spoke at length
today in opposition to Canadian reci-
procity. He contended the president
had no authority. to undertake. nego-
tiations with Canada and charged that
the chief executive had usurped the
treaty making power OF the senate.
Disaster for the farmers Of the eoun-
try, he declared, would follow the pas
sage Of the reciprocity bin.
The conduct of the president in this
case Is not only. novel and without
precedent" he said, but to me 1t seems
to be Of such serious moment and such
dangerous consequences that / have
felt It my duty to bring 1t to the atten-
ton Of the senate.
1t seems that the president is de-
priving the farmers OF this country of
their constitutional protection in a
two-third vote OF the senate. This
agreement would not be ratified il it
were submitted to us for ratification
pursuant to the spirit of the constitu-
ton"
The effect Of free importation of
Canadian farm products, Nelson insist
ed. would be rninous to the American
farmer while the masses would not be
benefited.
If the slogan of the scheme is
cheaper food for the masses" he ex-
planned, put duty on -four, cereals,
meal, beef, mutton, veal. pork, hams
and bacon. We know that the middle
men between the farmer and the con-
sumner, get far greater profit than
the farmer. If cheaper food is one of
the excuses for the scheme why not
make all food products from the farm
to the mouth entirely free?
Why should the farmers cattle
sheep and hogs be on the free list,
while blessed with protective duty?
Why should our milers get Canad-
ian wheat free and still have a protec-
ton Of so cents a barrel on -four and
121s cents per 100 pounds on shorts
bran and middlings against the Canad-
ian mills?"
