DIVIDING THE EXPENSE.

Several weeks ago there was q great
strike among the carriers and lockers
and others engaged in the shipping
business at number OF English ports
at Manchester, Hull, Liverpool and
Glasgow. Ships that were in port
loaded with perishable freight could
not be unloaded, and ships that con-
Giles absolutely necessary for the sup
port OF life were also kept at their
docks with their cargoes untouched
because the freight handlers demanded
larger pay and would not permit those
who were willing to work for the old
rates or for less to serve tho ships,
and the people at the same time.
There We're q good many acts of vio-
lence. the police were resisted. the
workers were stoned and II was found
necessary for the public peace to bring
out the soldiers. The condition was
so serious as to justify the London
Times in the reflection that some
day or other 1t will be necessary to
say whether or not this new doctrine
or licensed violence (the doctrine illus
tHated In the riotous conduct of the
strikers at the English ports) is to be
allowed free play. Much must be par
doned TO men eager for victory and
bafiicd by the coming of strangers
Much more must be forgiven to the
wives OF the strikers, who are the
chief sufferers If they are often the
most violent. But sooner or later
there must be a conflict between the
new doctrine and the rights of a mi.
nority TO work as they think nit"

The most important case tried was
that of Will Summerlin, colOred, charged
with the murder of Walter Melton, an
other negro last Christmas. Melton
was shot while eating a lunch in a res
taurant, There was no apparent cause
for the killing and Summerlin said it
was an accident, that he was playing

loaded with blank cartridges. He was
found guilty with recommendation to
mercy and will serve a life sentence.
Summerlin was defended by Clay &
Morris, J. L Foster, J Glenn Giles and
Thomas f. Latimer.
Another case of interest was that of
Will Avery. Six indictments were re-
turned against him last year charging
him with selling liquor. Mr.. Dave

more along this line than could re-
suit from the reciprocity treaty
The reciprocity treaty calls for a re-
duction in the duty on wheat. on live
stock on the hoof, and on other pro-
ducts as they come from the farm.
But it keeps the duty on farm ma
chinery, on flour, on packing house
products and on cereal products. In
other words it provides free trade on
things the farmer produces but pro-
tects the manufacturer by keeping the
duty on things people actually use,
People do not eat wheat until after
It is made into flour and they do not
eat livestock on the hoof. II the
country is to get the good out of re-
ciprocity the farmers free list should
also be enacted into law. 1t takes
the tariff off meat products and flour
and cereal products and so looks to
doing some actual good for the con-
suming public.
In substance the democrats and in
surgent republicans say that what is
sauce for the goose should be sauce
for the gander. If We are to have
free trade in things the farmer pro-
duces then let US have free trade in
products turned out by the packing
houses and by the milling interests.
Take the duty off things the people
actually consume so the public, not
the manufacturers, will get the good
out of reciprocity.
1t will be interesting to note what
attitude President Taft takes regard
ing the farmers free list He has
been touted to the skies for his advo-
cacy of reciprocity How will he
treat the farmers free list which
provides for bringing the benefits of
reciprocity within reach of the peo-

dissolution was the only way out.
Preparation for dissolution began
in England when the premier took an
attitude designed to strengthen him
amongst the people of Quebec. The
nationalist cult is so frankly anti-im-
perialist that Sir Wilfrid in playing
that game had to assume extreme
views which excited antipathy in
Britain on his return the organiza-
ton arranged demonstrations in his
honor and represented him as the
defender of our autonomy. The prac-
tised sentimentalist made reference to
his gray hairs. which excited more de-
rision than sympathy. The elector
declines to follow the white plume"
In the house the ministerialists be-
gin to assert that the opposition fears
an election. on the contrary, the op-
position from the very beginning has
fought for a reference to the people.
Mr.. Borden and his followers are re-
iolced at the outcome. They await
the trial at the polls with enthus asm.
Assuredly it is time for a change.
