Moody Protests.

That was when the delegate from
Spokane, Mr.. Moody, jumped to his
| feet to protest. 81 want to raise my
voice in protest against the idea

wants to-" he shouted. 81 do not
now, and never have owned an acre
of Canadian land, but If our. farmers
have gone up to Canada and made
fortunes by so doing say they are
justified and have a perfect right
Fin doing so. AS to the advertising

word that has ever been put out
from the city of Spokane that was
not true in its entirety. When you
come to sand lot advertising schemes

places where they pay the poor man

There were present during the
discussion the invited representa-
tives Of the Dominion government,
the Western Canada Irrigation AS
ISOLATION and the Canadian Pacific
railroad who were in the embarrass-
ing position of witnessing the row
and hearing statements made by Mr..
Frear that Misrepresentation were
used to induce the immigration to
Canada. Norman Rankin, of Cal
gary offered an explanation of the
safeguards imposed by the dominion
and provincial governments against
any Misrepresentation to prospec-
tive settlers. at is Of course correct
that in the last two years some 200
900 Americans have immigrated to
the new lands Of Western Canada
and it is also true that the number
who return are very few indeed,
said Mr.. Rankin. Figures of the
United states Treasury obtained
from customs officials showed that
the number Of settlers who returned
in 1910 was only 25G. No other
statement is necessary 10 vindicate

The facts are that LaFollette ran
around in circles because the farmers

the Payne tariff bill. Now that the
farmers of Michigan are apparently
going to get what they wanted, and
what LaFollette said they wanted
they are opposing it, a position dia-

have heretofore held, and LaFollette
trots along after them. If that is not
the mark of a demagogue, the diction-
aries are ~hopelessly wrong in their
definition of the word.
LaFollette has no real principles.
He is an opportunist of the most radi-
cal sort, he will be on all sides of the

will get him anything. He has not

LA TOILETTE AND RECIPROCITY

While there is a disposition on the
part of the opponents of Canadian
reciprocity to jeer at Battle Bob La
Toilette for his opposition to it, we
really think they should go much
further and attempt to change the
LaFollette mind on the matter. Moth
inc with which LaFollette has ever
had anything to do nationally has
been a success, and the best blow that
the opponents of reciprocity could
strike at it would be to induce Battle
Bob to make a few speeches in its
favor. Most of us have never been
worried about reciprocity finally be-
ing approved as the law of the land
until we saw LaFollette actively aid
ing its opponents. Battle Bob's ad-
vocacy is dangerous to any cause.
If there is anything calculated to
throw LaFollette into holder relief as
a demagogue, his speech in the senate
on Monday against reciprocity will do
SO. We believe reciprocity, along it's
present lines, is wrong in principle,
and Utah especially has all to lose
and nothing to gain by it. We believe
it to be the entering wedge against
the destruction of the very corner
stone of protection, but by all the rules
of human decency LaFollette would be
supporting it if there were a drop of
honest blood in his veins.
Shortly after the passage of the
Payne tariff bill, LaFollette leaped
madly in the air, cracked his heels to-
gether and rushed wildly about the
capitol. He denounced the law as a
crime against the American people,
declared it would increase the cost of
living, that it was drawn solely in
the interest of the trusts, and that if
Satan himself did not have a hand in
it, it was because the men who drew
the bill found themselves capable of
doing a better and more hellish job
without His Satanic Majesty's assist
ance. Battle Bob demanded, and he
was supported in this by the other in
surgent Republican senators, that
something must be lone to decrease
the cost of living along the lines
marked out by himself.
This the president has attempted to
do. We do not agree with the presi-
dents arguments on the matter and
are totally unable to perceive how the
cost Of living can be decreased with
out reducing the cost of food products,
which will certainly act against the
American farmer and other producers
of raw materials. The president says
he can see how the one can be lone
without affecting the other, which we
doubt. But in any event, the presi-
dents reciprocity treaty is exactly
along the lines which LaFollette de-
manded when he began to insurge.
Now that he has got exactly what he
demanded he is not satisfied and has
made an exact reversal of attitude.
His speech in the senate shows this
when he says:
ct Am opposed to this so-called reci-
procity legislation because 1 believe
it is wrong, harmful and unjustifable.
If it must pass, / want to see it made |

DRINK HABIT CAUSES SUICIDE

Despondent over his i'll health and

shot and killed himself at four clock
yesterday afternoon in his room at tn,
Sullivan rooming house in that city.
Meyer was German of considera BILE
education and came west about fifteen
years ago. His intelligence and train
ing would have fitted him for more
remunerative position but his intem'
perate habits forced him to a place on
the section gang and since that time
he has been made foreman.
His heavy drinking brought on a
number of ailments from which he has
suffered intensely in the past few
months. Unable to conquer his cravin 3
or be relieved from his maladies. he re-
Gently became moody and unusually
taciturn, occasionally declaring to his
men that he thought he would kill him
self as he couldn't quit getting drunk.
Yesterday afternoon he left his gang
in charge of an assistant and went to
his room where he took a revolver AMI
without a word or leaving note,
placed the muzzle of the heavy cali
bered weapon between his teeth and
pulled the trigger. The report, muffled
by the man s mouth, was not heard by
others about the place but few mo
ments later some one passed by the
door and looked in, and beheld the al
most decapitated form of Meyer on the
floor where it had slipped from its
place on the bed. The whole top of the
head was shattered, with brains and
blood, blackened by the fire from the
pistol, oozing in sickening mass from
the almost unrecognizable face.
Meyer had considerable money which
will more than pay the expenses Of his
funeral He had no family and so far
as is known no relatives.

cherry that has been washed in sui

sounds terrible and probably explains
why like the good deacon we do not
