AGAINST RECIPROCITY.

The Calgary, Canada, Herald is
bitterly opposed to reciprocity with
this country on lines laid down in
the agreement now before the PEG.
pie of Canada for ratification or re-
lection. In a recent issue Of that
paper appeared the following:
Canada once before turned down
unrestricted reciprocity as offered
by Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his poIit-
zeal friends. Now, after twenty
years, we find that exactly the same
bait is being held out to the people
of this country. Sir Wilfrid In hts
speech at Simcoe yesterday made 1t
quite clear that the object Of his
government does not end with the
present proposed reciprocity treatv.
81 have visions of more far-reach-
ing agreement, which will bring ev-
en- more closely together the great
civilized nations of this continent"
Those were his words, and every one
who proposes to vote for the present
reciprocity treaty must do so In con-
temptation of what those words
mean.
And what do they mean? They
mean that Canadian industry is to
follow the footsteps of Canadian
husbandry; that as the farmer Of
the dominion is today to be thrown
into competition in his own home
market with the ten-fold greater

it is even willing to discredit tile
most substantial and valuable asset
of Iowa in order to satiate its un-
quenchable appetite and palpable
desire for prevarication. Hence
when the Freeman-Tribune called it
on it's statement that land values in
Iowa were depreciating, on account
of reciprocity, it flew into passion
and proceeded to call the Freeman
Tribune hard names and to twit this
paper on the size of it's ears and its
capacity to lay them back over its
head and bray long and loud How
ever, since the Freeman-Tribune
produced irrefutable evidence of the
increase of land values in this part
of Iowa, quoting a number of actual
sales, the Capitals rhinocerous hide
has apparently been pierced and i.
has relapsed into silence. But the

the following manner:
If the Capital has been saying
anything so foolish Chat land

today, and the prospects for the land
owner never SO bright. The back to

fortunates who have been made to
suffer for the crimes of others.

Now that congress has adjourned
it may be of interest to veterans to
know what was done in the way of
general pension bill. For reasons
not very clear-possibly political
it was agreed by both parties at the
beginning of the special session that
no general pension bill should be re-
ported until the regular session
commencing in December. On the
9th inst. the pension committee re-
ported Gen. Sherwood's bill and 1T
was placed on the calendar for ac-
tion. This bill is service bill as
distinguished from the various age
bills-notably the Sulloway meas
ure. The central thought of the
Sherwood bill is, regardless Of age.
that those who did the work are and
should be entitled to the reward.
The limit for service in this bill is
$50 month and it contains some
special features not in so-called age
bills. For instance: Those veter-
ans drawing a net income of $1,000
year are not eligible, and those
drawing the limit Of the bill are not
eligible to membership in a soldiers
home. There is no doubt but that
general pension bill of some kind
will be enacted by the next session
of congress,

farming industry of the United
States, so at the earliest moment
that Sir Wilfrid can achieve 1t. Ca
madam manufacturers are to be ex-
posed to the inscriptions trusts,
combines and financial chicanery OF
the United States.
Unrestricted reciprocity is frank
ly Sir Wilfrid's vision and he has
the impertinence to couple with 1t
the name of Sir John A. Macdonald.
The reference is an insult to Cana
da's greatest statesman, to the
sturdy man who ever refused to bow
his neck to the American yoke or to
expose Canada to the danger of
American domination. Sir John A.
Macdonald defeated Sir Wilfrcd's
reciprocity propaganda once, and
the tens of thousands Of Canadians
who admire and love Macdonald's
memory, and who today see about
them the fruition of his dreams IN
Canadas great prosperity will de-
feat it again next month.
But Sir Wilfrid's vision goes far
Their than unrestricted reciprocity.
AS he puts it, he has vision which
will bring even more closely to-
gether" the United States of Amer
lea and the Dominion of Canada. Sir
Wilfrid's inference is not much less
clear than the open statement OF
Champ Clark, who regards reciproc-
ity as the first stepping-stone to
Canadas absorption. Judging by
what Sir Wilfrid dares to say even
to his own people in Ontario, one
can imagine how clear and lucid
would be the expression of his will
ingness in that regard If he were
addressing one Of his favorite audi
ences in Boston, Mass.
The fact is that Sir Wilfrid Laur-
Ter and his colleagues and the whole
liberal party in Canada today are
but an adjunct to the republican
campaign for the presidential cleo
ton of 1912. AS the Herald put It
yesterday, this is the first time that
Canadian voters have been asked to
cast their ballots for the purpose Of
securing to an American politician
nomination for American public
Office. If Sir Wilfrid Laurier has
his way, it will be by no means the
last time, but the Herald believes
that the electors of Canada, and es-
pecially of Calgary, will rebuke this
open attempt to separate the do
minion from the rest of the empire
and to throw it into the hands Of
the United States.

PATRONIZE HOME.

Before the people in Des Moines
buy Illinois coal they should first
think about the effects upon the
miners and business in Des Moines
and Iowa. said John w. Ray. ''It
has been found by actual tests that
there is as much value in ton OF
steam coal from the Iowa mines as
there is from the hard coal from the
Illinois mines. Iowa people pay
more for Illinois hard coal in the
long run If they only knew 1t. Then
another thing. people who do not
patronize home industries little re-
alize that home industries must suf-
fer If outside coal Is purchased
what is to become Of the miners who
are forced into idleness? The miner
spends his money in the stores, but
If he is out of work his patronage
stops and trade suffers. The miners
have had little work all summer
and there is not much prospect Of
much work this winter. 1t depends
entirely upon the people whether or
not these miners are to have work
to do. Before buying coal purchas-
ers should consider home patronage
first IL they have the proper boost
ing spirit for Des Moines. Regis
ter and Leader.
What Mr.. Ray says Of patronizing
home industries is true, admitted by
every body. But Yes, that but
must butt in. The people are some
contrary. They believe in reciproc-
ity. If not of the Canadian brand
they believe in the principle just
the same and when they hear any
body talking Of patronizing miners
because of patriotism they get lit
tie skeptical. They remember how
Independent the miner and the OPP
orator can be along in the white,
when the thermometer is lowering
around zero. Then is time when
the miner and the operator do NOT
care a continental for the people
for the consumer. They get at log
gerheads over some little insignifi-
cent thing, quit work, shut down
the mine and the public can freeze
to death as far as they are concern
ed. A few years ago a big strike
was on in Pennsylvania and the
country was suffering greatly for
fuel. In fact but little hard coal
could be bought in Iowa and many
people who had hard coal stoves or
furnaces had to get other stoves
and get along as best they could.
Without discussing the merits or de-
merits of that strike, the fact re-
mains that the public suffered and

A man has just been liberated
from the Pennsylvania penitentiary
after a twenty years term Of i'm
prisonment for a crime committed
by another. This man is broken in
health and in spirit. He has suffer
ed untold misery, though i1nccen'.
Yet there is no law upon the statute
books of Pennsylvania for making
amends. Talk about the square
deal. The people of the United
States-all states are the same in
this respect-imprison men on sus-
picion, hold them in Jail perhaps six
months before trial, then when they
prove their innocence they are re-
leased, but no provision is made to
reimburse the one so unjustly accls-
ed and denied his liberty. OF course
the man just liberated from the
Pennsylvania institution was duly
convicted, but evidence has since
accumulated to prove his innocence.
The legislature of the Keystone
state should make liberal appro-
priation for the benefit of this man
and do what It can to atone for the
great injury done him. $4,000
would be mere pittance to pay a
man for twenty years in jail, the
loss of friends, the breaking of fam
lily ties and the ruin Of life.
Preachers, newspapers and maya
zines have repeatedly pointed ont
the grave injustice done men charg-
ed with crime they never commit
ted, but the public conscience seem
ed scared and thus far nothing has

The Iowa delegation in congress
lined up in support of the increase
in the membership of the house.
Had the number not been increased
Iowa would have lost a member, and
as the boys could not determine
just which one should retire It was
deemed expedient to vote for the
increase. We believe the people of
the state would have endorsed the
delegation in standing for a decrease
rather than an increase in member
ship. The house is now unwieldly.

Another law that needs fixing is
the one that gives farm owners a

Just why the land owner should
have unfair advantage over other
creditors is not plain. A tenant who
sells grain belonging to the land
lord should be held accountable, but
the innocent purchaser is the one
to suffer under present statutes.

to state whether in his judgment
the calamity would befall the coun-
try, the party or the ex-president,
hence we are at liberty to assume
that the colonel is thinking partial
ly, at least, of his own interests.
However, there seems to have been
no occasion for the letter. as Mr..
Roosevelt took himself out of the
running during the campaign last
fall and nobody is now seriously
considering his name in connection
with the nomination next year. Pos
sibly the colonel will loom up big

If Mr.. Kamrar makes this race

has lost none Of his old time wit
and power is amply shown in the
recent joint debate he has had on
this question (reciprocity) with the
editor Of the F'reeman-Tribune.-
Webster City Herald.
The editor of the Herald speaks
advisedly Of the 'old time wit and
power" of Senator Kamrar. He has
had some experience with that COM
bination. A spell back the editor
and the senator aspired to represent
this district in congress and locked
horns at the primary. Senator
Kamrar, metaphorically speaking,
took "Our Cady" by the scruff of the
neck and mopped up the sloughs,
threshed down the corn rows, fiayed
out the oat fields and tore up the
sod all over the county. When the
ordeal was over, Cady knew some
thing had happened, just what he
cannot tell to this day. But he is
in position just the same to bear
witness to the "old time wit and
power" of Mr.. Kamrar. And it
might be observed in passing that
there are about twenty thousand
people in Hamilton county who
would greatly enjoy return en-
gagement of that self-same exhibit
