Somebody Was Mistaken.

Canada has rejected reciprocity
by an overwhelming majority. The
Canadians, who are an intelligent,
reading people, believe that reci-
prOcity meant disaster to them and
a great advantage to the United
States.
The Canadian farmers voted
against the treaty, believing that
they would be worsted. At the
same time the farmers of the
United States, that is a majority of
them, as l believe were very earn
estly of the opinion that the reci-
procity treaty would do them a
great deal of harm.
If the question had been sub
mitted to a popular vote in the
United States, believe that every
northern state would have rolled up
a majority against it. Evidently
somebody was mistaken. Either
our farmers were wrong or the
Canadian farmers were wrong.
think they were both wrong.
l am satisfied as we'll as can be
satisfied about something that has
not been demonstrated, by actual
experience, that the adoption of the
treaty would have worked out to
the advantage of both Canada and
the United States but that the
United States would have derived
the greater benefit of the two.
| now believe that even the price
of wheat, over which most of the
contention ragged, would not have
been lowered by reciprocity. but on
the other hand would probably have
gone up in price However, the
matter is settled for the present.
There will be no further trade agree
ments attempted in all probability
for several years to come.
The tariff wall between two
countries where labor conditions
are very similar and in which there
is no substantial difference iniwages
will continue to keep up. interior
ence to trade when trade between
the two ought to be as freesas be-
tween the states of the American
Union, Mail & Breeze.

 Continuing along this line, the Presi- dent declared that if the treaties with England and France could be concluded lie had no doubt that they could be made with many nations, ''and when we had made them with many other nations, then those nations may be induced to make them with each other"
 With the clause in the treaties that nothing could be done of hostile char acter until a year after the international dispute arose, the President declared that there would be mighty few wars. He con cluded with the appeal that in Justice to the great mass of plain people the Sen- ate and all in authority ought to conclude the treaties. If there is any doubt on the constitutional question, he thought 1t ought to be resolved in favor of our stepping forward as a nation with the power, the wealth, the fortune and the opportunity that God has given up to help along the movement of Christian progress toward permanent peace"
 The President made no mention or the Russo- American relations.

expression for publication. q have my own individual views" he stated and I have no hesitancy in giving them eX- pression. favor the primary for the nominating of all state officers, but think that under the peculiar circumstances confronting the people of this state tat the present time, there should be no op- position to the plan of naming and in- structing the delegation to the national convention by the state convention This is my idea. If the committee sees proper 10 act otherwise, then I will have noth- ing to say, of course.
 'As chairman of the committee, I will act. naturally, unbiased by my own po- litical ideas I am heartily in favor of MT. JTnderwood's nomination. and I be- lieve that he has a good chance to win. Therefore I believe that we should do everything in our power to further his opportunity. I believe, too. that the ma- iority of the members of the committee feel as I do in reference to MT. Under wood, and I am safe in predicting that we will act today with his interest al- ways in view"
 No Discrimination
 When asked concerning the represen- tation of counties in the convention, MT Goodwin declined to make positive cOnlnltddl, put lIOHl ilAS hS ~ was judged that he appreciates the strength of the claims of the counties of the black belt that they should not be discriminated against on account or their heavy negro population and their consequential lack of voting strength
 Tn case, however, the chairman said. it is determined to permit the black belt counties to carry their point, and population is made the basis or representation, I believe that provision should be made whereby in the ballot l ing on the justices of the supreme court the basis should be the voting strength of the several counties. The l last convention set out an unwritten flaw to the effect that the representa- tion should be based on the democratic voting strength, and to carry out thls law, it is my opinion, that in the elect | ing of justices, the counties should be 1 represented in accordance with their strength at the polls. In all other mat | ters however, l can see no special ob- jection to permitting the counties to vote in convention in accordance with their population. There is no doubt but that the counties of the black belt have | a heavy load to bear.'
