WHY RECIPROCITY WAS TURNED DOWN.

1t proved to be somewhat of a surprise in the
states when Canadian friends turned down the
opportunity they had of doing business with the
Yankees the basis formed by the reciprocity
passed by the last session of our congress-
Never before has the United States been inter-
ested in the results of election held in foreign
country, in the Canadian election held
last week The result shows plainly that whatever
regard the Canadians have for this country, they
certainly do not very much about doing
mess with The Canadians regard the Yankees
sharp traders and probably thought that there
niger in the wood pile" The Canadian
farmers voted pretty generally for lie Liberals who
favored the pact, but the manufacturing interests,
afraid Of American industries, put Up he hardest
kind of fight. showing under the Liberals, elect
ing almost twice many Conservative members to
parliament. There were several factors considered
in the Canadian election. First there the
manufacturers Then the more ignorant voters who
made to believe that the United States was
DESTROYS of annexing Canada and that the recproc-
itv pact the first step in that direction. The
Canadians have settled very definitely the question
of annexation for many years to come. Then Pre-
mier Laurier who is one Of the creates! national
figures in the British empire, created some dissat-
isfaction few years ago. when thru his influence
a Canadian navy organized. Prio' to that tme
the Canadians had been taxed for military al
fairs and within a short r,e there was & tax OF
fifty cents for every man, woman and child in that
country, FIVE million dollars wee spent. Many
question the need Of navy for Canada. Laurier Is
prominent Catholic and in Of the provinces
where the Orangemen strong the Liberal vote
was light The new Nationalist p.t'v, which vas
formed from dissatisfied Liberals Had tendency to
defeat that party yet it was shown that the Con
servatives would have had safe majority anyway
Americans cannot why the Canadians turned
down the reciprocity pact. While there is ques-
ton whether the pact would have done this country
any good, the Canadian farmer and others would
doubt have benefited by it. Canada did very I'M
wise thing when it threw away the opportunity to
trade market of nine millions OF people for
OF ninety millions.

The defeat Of the reciprocity pact 81 the Cana
dams last week keen disappointment to Pres
dent Taft. Just now the republicans trying to
ascertain whether the defeat of this proposition will
prove Of detriment benefit to the big fellow in
the coming campaign. Our own reciprocity bill
which was passed, much to the disappointment OF
the American farmers, is practically dead letter,
for it will be five years at least before the Cana
dians would ever think Of introducing such bill II
their parliament under. the mes, favorable circum-
stances The chances that when con4 ress meets
again, of the first bills introduced will be one
to repeal the reciprocity measure, Taft spent
great deal Of time his pet reciprocity measure.
He has been condemned by the farmers He is Civ
en- no opportunity nov of showing whether he was
right or not. II the farmers only be made to
forget and they not apt to do this, there might
he some show OF our president winning his way Into
their hearts again. If Taft becomes the nominee OF
the republican party the chances for the republicans
to lose North Dakota would be good, providing the
democrats produce their best timber. As North Da-
kota has but electoral votes they would not ne
apt to make much difference in the general results

There is state law which provides for the farm
picking the loose rocks along the public high
ways running along their farms.A rural mail carrier
states that he has removed many of the stones from
the road many times that they are as familiar
to him old frineds. In the spring. they are drag
ged out into the road when the farmers are harrow
ing. The mail carrier displaying the patience Of
Job, has carried the same rocks back several times
and he is getting tired of his job.

be about double those in Minnesota and South d.

and smilingy said he thought the American farmers
could afford to treat our Canadian friends we'll fol

much as wheat had gone up seven cents the day
after it learned that Canadian wheat was not
to be admitted to this country free This is pretty
good evidence that the reciprocity measure would
have proved OF some detriment to our farmers, and
President Taft will have to travel far and talk very
loud and long before he convince them to the
contrary. ...
Some of the prospective candidates declare that
they stand for the principles advocated by Roose-
welt. Let's see, who is Roosevelt?

President Taft told number Of prominent poll
ticians at PEORIA H., that he wasn't cut out for
politician anyway. He said that his ambition had
always been to become associate justice OF the
supreme court but that the presidential honors had
been thrust upon his broad shoulders and he was
compelled to accept them He didn't want his
friends to understand that he tried to avoid heing
elected PRESIDENT for when he once nominated
he declared that he made good fight as he knew
how There is thing about President Taft that
we admire. and that is his honesty. He has made
many mistakes since he became president. ami he
admits that he did. Further, he says he will make
other mistakes, but they will be honest mistakes.
The president has adopted sort of middle-of-the-
road policy, declaring that he is neither rank stall
wart or a very pronounced nsurgent. He says that
great things are accomplished step at time not
bv adopting radical measures. There are great
many things that president ought to be con-
denned for and then he often displays some un-
usual qualities that are admirable.

The big industrial exposition opened at Bismarck
Monday and the county commissioners of every
county in the entire state with the exception Of
Ward made arrangements to send display to the

ers Glein and 1-okensgard they demurred, giving
their reason, that the voters of the county had
ed down the county fair tax, and they did not pro-
pose to incur any expense advertising the products
of Ward county This looks to be very
minded policy for if Jens and Olaf in the right
then every other county commissioner in the state
is in the wrong. If there ever was time when
Ward county needed to let the world know what the
farmers could do, it is right now. The small
pense that would be incurred sending the display
Bismarck would have been returned many fold. We
glad to report, however. that the exhibit
sent anyway several broadminded citizens contrib
uting the necessary funds.

Experts Couldn't Tell, But Relatives
Say She Has Negro Blood.

The irrelevance of expert testimo-

at Baltimore in the case of LuelIa
Leftridge, aged II year whose old

have the child released from a home

that she was of white parentage.
A prominent medical expert testi-
fed that he had examined Luella

her finger nails had found no indi-
cations that she was of negro parent
