Direct Legislation.

From Switzerland to Oregon, and
from Oregon via Oklahoma and score
of other States to Massachusetts. A cir.
cuitious route, but one with direct legis-
lation, in the opinion of It's advocates,
is destined to take. The initiative and
the relerendum-words that appeal
neither TO the. eve or to the ear and
take long while to pronounce-mean
simply the originality and the enacting
of general laws within constitutional
limits by the voters themselves. 1t is a
movement that is apparently sweeping
all over this great and grand country
1t is not intended to do away with rep
resentative government, but to supple
ment it.
With its ear close to the ground the
council of the National Economic
League, composed of economic clubs
throughout the whole country, has heard
the rumblings Of the coming reform and
by an overwhelming vote of the menu
bers has decided that direct legislation
is the most important topic for discus
sion during the coming year.
The Economic Club deserves credit
for bringing the subject before the public
in such an attractive manner and for
awakening popular interest in ques-
ton, which. in view of great many,
must precede all other questions whether
political, economic or social.

Typhoid and Bad Water.

The menace of typhoid fever in country
distrlcts-a menace arising from polluted
drinking water-is thoroughly considered
IN report by Myron l.. Fuller. of the
United States Geological Survey in which
the various sources Of pollution are indi-
Gated and suggestions are given for means
of protection
Typhoid fever rates are usually greater
i'll the country than in cities despite the
prevailing belief that farms, isolated as
they are from areas of congested popula-
ton, are ideally situated for obtaining
pure and wholesome water.
Failure 10 protect adequately the wells
in farming districts is given in the surveys
report as the most common reason for
their pollution. and ignorance of the
manner in which ground water circulates
is the cause OF the faulty protection.
Chemical analysis is not rated high by
Mr.. Fuller as a means of detecting pol
luted water, for he asserts that a careful
common-scnse inspection of the district is
usually much more to the point.
Sources of pollution in the vicinity of a
well or spring should be noted wherever
possible, and drinking water should not
be drawn except at a safe distance from
them. The distance required for abso-
lutte safety varies greatly with the char
acter of the rock For wells sunk in
sandstone, slate and shale, 100 may be
sufficient; where the surface stratum is,
composed of. fine sand 200 feet should be
allowed; and where it is limestone or
granite much greater distances will be
necessary. Water may run polluted in
limestone for miles, so that wells in re-
gions where limestone makes up the
greater part of the surface rock should be
carefully examined after rains for mud
and floating matter, for these are pretty
sure indications of pollution.
For protecting wells, springs, and els
terms MIR. Fuller advocates, first of all,
watertight lining to keep out surface
water Wells and springs should always
be covered and projected from animals,
dust and falling leaves. Watering troughs
should always be located a safe distance
away though the custom prevails in
country districts ofhaving we'll and trough
side by side.

Now Just the Reverse.

"Those who are fighting President
Taft's reciprocity program upon the
ground that it will injure the agricultural
interests of this country, lose sight of the
fact that these very interests once upon
time profited immensely by similar
treaty with Canada, and were the prin-
cipal opponents of the movement that
finally succeeded in effecting its abro-
CATION"
With these words Senator Burton. of
Ohio, student Of history, as we'll as of
current legislation, comes to the aid of
the Presidents treaty program with
startling and convincing argument, in
which he turns the very cudgels of the
opposition into weapons of defense.
This treaty continued Senator Bur-
ton. was in force from 1854 to 1865, and
during its lite the business of both coun-
tries prospered wonderfully. Our ex-
ports TO Canada jumped from the neigh
borhood of So, 600. 900 year to more
than SIS, 900 900, while the imports from
the Dominion leaped from SI2, 900
to more than S27 900. A continuous
improvement in business conditions was
reported on both sides of the border
line until the approach OF the Civil War
lnteriered with commerce. and an ap-
peal to the long sleeping anti-British SEN
timent of our people brought to the front
by designing interests, finally succeeded in
procuring the abrogation of the treaty.
1t was charged and with apparent truth,
that the great transportation interests of
this country encompassed the abrogation
of the treaty in order to enjoy mo-
nopoly of the freight from the West
TO the Atlantic seaboard.
During the life of the treaty about
IL per cent. of the grain from the North
west went through the Welland Canal
and with this competition an active and
enterprising reality, the railroads of the
United States were obliged TO maintain
a reasonable schedule of freight rates.
1t is no wonder, therefore. that when the
question Of abrogating the treaty was
preached the farmers of the Northwest
who had been using the Canadian Canal
and the Saint Lawrence River upon the
same terms as the Canadians themselves
should have made stalwart objection
THE abrogation of the treaty of 1854
has been regarded as public calamity
by practically all the students of our
relations with Canada" : Baltimore

Reciprocity Helps Farmers.

The removal of the duty on so many of
Maryland's principal products by the pro-
posed reciprocity tariff agreement with
Canada has interested deeply the agricul-
turlsts and shippers Of the State The
fact that Maryland fruit, which natures
so many weeks earlier than the Canadian
product. will be admitted free into Canada
under the proposed legislation makes the
Maryland fruit grower feel favorable to
the matter and look forward to its con-
summation.
Under the existing rates melons are
taxed 3 cents each by the Dominion.
This applies to both watermelons and
cantaloupes. SO the cantaloupe growers
have been literally crowded out Of the
Canadian markets. Under the new act
melons will be free Among the fruits
that are scheduled as free under the new
method and the duty formerly paid on
them are: Grapes, cents a pound;
apples, 40 cents barrel; peaches, Fl 90
per 100 pounds; pears, so cents per 100
pounds, and plumS at 30 cents bushel.
Fresh vegetables" garden truck that
comes so plentifully from the Eastern and
Western Shores will be exempt from duty
uuder the new agreement. The tax on
them now is: Potatoes, 20 cents bushel;
sweet potatoes. 10 cents a bushel, and
other vegetables in proportion.
Maryland canned goods will slip
through under greatly reduced tariff.
Canned vegetables are TO be reduced
from z to ~ cents pound and canned
fruits from ~ TO cents per pound.
Bituminous coal will enter Canada at
As cents instead of So cents a ton. and
many other Maryland products Of lesser
magnitude will profit through the ratlfica-
ton of the agreement with the Dominion.

England and Canadian Recipro-
citv

The alarm Of some EugliShmen, mainly
OF the Conservative-U Union Party, over the
probability of a commercial agreement
between Canada and the United States is
not altogether singular, but it rests upon
presumption or prejudice, and not upon
information. In view of the facts of trade
between the Union and the Dominion it is
extremely foolish
Last year Canadian trade with the
United States amounted TO S327. 900. 900.
or 50 per cent OF the Dominion's aggre-
gate trade with the world The trade
with Great Britain amounted to S734o oo,-
600, or $50 per cent. of the aggregate. or
very little more than one-third. The
actual amount OF trade with the United
States was S93, 900. 900 greater than the
trade with Great Britain
For several years the Dominion has
been given Great Britain heavy prefer
ence in tariff duties Beginning at one
quarter, it was increased to one-third. and
vet it has been impossible 10 prevent
trade with the United States largely ex-
ceeding trade with Great Britain. What
difference is it going to make in the
loyalty of Canada. then. whether her
trade with the United States be some
what further increased. as it would be
under the reciprocity agreement? 1t would
probably increase materially, but if her
trade with the United States is far in ex-
cess Of her trade with England in spite of
the tariff preference given the latter, why
should a further excess of trade with this
country diSlocate her relations with what
some Of the Canadians regard as the
Mother Country IF her loyalty to Eng
land can survive an excess Of 500. 900, 900
in her trade with the United States why
should it not survive an excess of SG93,-
600. 900?
Furthermore, it is true of individuals as
Of nations that where their treasure is,
there are their hearts also. In other
words, business controls sentiment. If
connection with England does not inter
fere with the development Of all of
Canada's business interests. that connec-
ton may remain undisturbed for many
wears, but if that connection were felt to
be a restraint upon Canadian commerce
the sentiment OF loyalty would be sub
jected to strain that would soon break
It. If the Conservative-U Union Party of
England desires to keep Canada as an
attachment of England they had better let
her make any trade arrangements that
strike her as to her advantage

REPAIRS TO RESERVOIR.

We have been informed by an authority
which should command some attention
relative to the reservoir repairs. When
the reservoir was built concrete was used
and it failed to hold the heavy body Of
water consigned to it. 1t consequently
broke and had to be repaired. The only
and the most substantial manner to repair
the reservoir is by pudding with clay
that has been tried and invariably gave
the best service. To puddle the reservoir
will be slight cost in comparison Of the
other systems advanced by some of our
modern engineers. Our informant is a
practical man and he has great faith in
the pudding process and cites many in
stances where the clay puddle far excels
that of any other mode. The pudding
must be thoroughly done, and after the
completion to lay the brick pavement in
the best workmanike manner. Then
flush same with cement and there will be
no further trouble. The little reservoir
was built on that line and has given many
years Of service. 1t is true the body Of
water is not 50 great as the new one,
nevertheless it has and will survive many
of our modern systems. Clay can be
found in the fields adjoining the reservoir
and the work can be speedily accom-
plished. 1t would be well for our city
fathers to give this mode Of doing the
work some attention. They will find
same economical and far more effective
than some systems advanced by those
called in for consultation.
