THURSDAY, MAY IL, 1911.

Discussing in Congress the other day
the farmers free list BILL" Repre-
sentative Hamlin eifectually disposed
Of the argument that the wheat grow
ers of this country have anything to
fear from removal of the tariff on
cereals. He made it clear that the
Republicans have kept up high tariff
on wheat simply TO bambooz!e the
farmers into conserving to a continu-
ance of the tariff on manufactured
articles.
Tariff or no tariff, the price OF wheat
is fixed in Liverpool by the surplus
available for export from the United
States, Russia, India, and other wheat
producing countries. Occasionally the
price in this country may be affected
slightly one way or the other by the
grain gamblers, but il makes not "A
particle of difference "a a rule whether
there is any tariff on wheat. Both the
United States and Canada raise a sur
plus for the world market, and if
Liverpool fixes the price at dollar a
bushel Canada is not going to sell
wheat to us for 30 cents just for the
fun of injuring our farmers.
What is true Of wheat is true Of the
other cereals Of which we, in common
with Canada, raise surplus. All the
talk, therefore, about reciprocity hurt
ing the farmers is what farmer quot
ed by Mr.. Hamlin calls it--"a farce
and bumbug"
For the five years ending June 30
last, as Mr.. Hamlin showed, we sold to
Canada in horses. cattle, meat and
dairy products and breadstuils s53, OBJ
I55 more than Canada sold to US, which
does not indicate that our farmers are
going to be swamped by reciprocity.
Despite this showing 70 Republicans
explained their votes against recipro-
city by saying they were standing 10y
the farmer, and likely as not they OPP
pose the farmers free list on the
same flimsy grounds. The farmer has
long been the deluded victim of such
hypocrisy.

Those farmers who feared that the
reciprocity agreement with Canada
would ruin our egg producers must
feel rather cheap since the publica-
ton OF the Canadian report of exports
and imports for the fiscal year. The
Canadian fiscal year ends March 81
and for the past year there has been an
excess OF imports over exports in Can
ada of T2S, iS9 dozen eggs. Of the tot
al import of $685. 24 dozen Of eggs into
Canada, the United Staets supplied
757 1916 dozen. The total export Of
eggs from Canada during the past fis-
cal year was l6i, S3j dozen OF which
the United States took 399l7 dozen.
Therefore it is evident that Canada has
practically no eggs TO sell, and has to
buy nearly eight hundred thousand
dozen, nearly all of which were export
ed from the United States.
According to the American consul at
Sarnia, Ontario, the general average
price of eggs in the two countries is
Jour and threc-fourths cents per dozen
higher in Canada than in the United
States. These official figures on eggs
eilectually show what lot Of rubbish
has been going the rounds Of the
newspapers about running the Ameri
can farmers with competition from
cheap Canadian eggs by those who are
opposed TO the treaty for reciprocity
with Canada.

The Importance Of the proposed in
yestigation Of the Steel Trust 10y Con
gress at the suggestion of Represents
tive Stanley cannot be oyerestmated.
Mr.. Stanley's resolution is accompan-
led by series Of exhibits made up of
facts OF the most significant character
and If the Steel Trust can be convicted
OF greedy and oppressive tactics the
influence for restraint in other com
binations will be most salutary.
AS an example of the benencent
character OF trusts we have heard
much Of how the Standard Oil Company
has reduced the price Of oil, but IL is
not question OF reduction OF price.
The vital point is how much profit the
trusts are making out of the people.
1t is conceded that capital is entitled
10 "fair return on its money, but
when that is provided for the public is
entitled TO every benefit which may be
possible by reason Of better processes
and economies effected by consolidation.
II the Standard Oil Company and other
trusts can sell for half thepresent pric.
es and still make "fair profit they
must do 50. Any other principle VOL
ates all sound political economy and
plain public policy. Unless the people
were organized as government, il
would not be possible for the manufac.
turers TO live at all and If the public
does not realize good from combina.
tions, an adequate reason must be Civ.
en- sooner or later.

EDUCATIONAL.
By G.. w. MEISNEST

Last Friday four of the largest con-
tests held thus far took place in Kos
suth, Franklin, Meme and Rockland.
Each OF these towns had large num-
Der Of participants in each OF the
various contests. Prizes were given
at some OF these local contests. Kossuth
through the courtesy, liberality, and
general interest in the schools, OF
Mr.. Frank Stastny Jared especially
we'll in this respect. Mr.. Stastny in
all gave nine prizes, consisting OF
books, writing paper, fountain pens,
and beautiful banner. This banner
went to the school winning the oral
spelling contest. 1t is supposed that
this banner be brought to the town
contest each year and to pass 20 the
school winning the contest. 1t is need
less to say that the interest in schools
run high in these towns not only
among teachers and pupils but also
among the people in general. Most
credit however is due the teachers who
through their efforts keep high the in
terest along these lines. Teachers
that say, we can't arouse interest along
these lines, either do not care to,
or else have not the tact or ability. 1t
may be necessary to bring into your
local school work just a tinge of new
feature of this work, a sort of an in
centive, in the nature of school prizes
or the like.

seem to be strong in arithmetic and
weak in history or geography, or vica

general conditions in the school she

reply
"My Dear Auntie: | will answer
your questions about the school which
attend. The teacher opens the school
10y reading and saying the Lords
Prayer. Yes, the boys and girls have
recess together. The children are not
taught to march in and out of school.
No, the children are not examined 10y
nurse or doctor. No, the teacher did
not tell US to stand or sit up straight.
No, they are not told about splitting on
the floor, They are not sent home to
wash if they are dirty. Our water was
brought in an old rusty tin pail, and
kept in the boys entry. The scholars
all drink out of the same dish. The
floor was swept every night. The floor
was dampened, but was not busted.
The floor is not scrubbed during the
term, and only once year. The old
seats that were left are so low that we
cannot sit comfortably.
Well, | will close now, with best
love from

GAMES TO START
HALF HOUR Later
8AynERALL DIRECTORS DECIDE To
COMPRISE ON BEGINNING
OF HOME coMBATs.

President Frank T. Lynch ANNOUNCE
ed q new schedule of starting hours
for the home games. The petition
signed by numerous fans for 3 o'clock
starts was not borne out by actual
attedance, and Prexy Lynch has de-
cided to start the home games on
week days, except Saturday at $3.50
sharp. The Saturday games will be-
gin at 3:45 o'clock as usual. Sunday
pastiming, when there Is only one
game booked, will begin promptly at
3 o'clock. In the case of double
headers, the first game will begin at
2:15 O'clock.
The $3.50 openings will be tried for
sufficient period to demonstrate to
the directors that it is the right hour.
In the event that the crowds are not
larger than have attended the week
day games during the past series the
old hour OF 3: AS O'Clock may be tried.
The fans of Ottumwa should real
ize that the Speed Boys are worthy OF
at least 800 paid admissions at every
week day game, and 500 should be the
figure on Saturdays. Sunday crowds
could stand little additions. although
the directors want it understood that
they are well pleased with the attend
ance on Sundays.
