What the Bill Is

"The veto bill' introduced today is described as "a bill to make provision with respect to the powers of the house of lords in relation to those of the house of commons and to limit the duration of parliament"
 The preamble recites that Tt is ex- ped.ent that provision shall be made for regulating the relations between the two houses of parliament" and that 1t Is intended to substitute for the house of lords as 1t at present ex- ists. the second chamber constituted on popular instead of a hereditary basis"
 This substitution, 1t is pointed out. cannot be immediate, however, and fu- ture provision must be made by parlia- ment limiting and defining the powlrs of the new second chamber.
 The important features of the bill are:
 1. If money bill having been passed by the house of commons and sent up to the house of lords at least one month before the end of the ses1 sion, Is passed by the house of loros without amendment within one month after it is so sent up to that house, the bill shall. unless the house of com mons direct to the contrary, be pres

SENATE COMMITTEE DISCUSSES TREATY The Reciprocity Bill Placed
 Under Test
HALE MAKES ATTACK
Representatives of Many Interests Make Speeches-Jones Says the Farmers Depend on the
 Bills Defeat

Washington. February 21.--By adroit questions Senator Hale of Maine, who took a prominent part today in opposing the Canadian reciprocity agreement in the hearings given by the Senate com mittee on finance, put Into the record statements by witnesses that President Taft, Secretary of State Knox and the American commissioners had failed to consult any of the interests affected be- fore the agreement was negotiated. The strongest statement in this regard was made by Representative Gardner of Mas sachusetts, who appeared in the, interest of the Gloucester fisheries
 After predicting that the effect of the Canadian agreement would be to ruin the fishing interests of this country, which are centered at Gloucester, Mass. pre- diction based upon the effect of Canadian bounties paid to her fishermen and the subsidized warehouses of Canada.
 MT. Gardner was catechised by Senator Hale. The Maine senator developed MT. Gardners interest In the subject and the fact that he had always championed the Gloucester industry.
 Replying to questions MT Gardner said that he thought the Americans were a party to the negotiations, and either the President, Secretary Knox or Commer- cial Agent Pepper did not know of the Canadian bounty and the subsidized ware houses when they made the agreement. Do you think the President should have proceeded without consulting mem bers of Congress where industries likely to be injured were so concerned?" MT. Hale asked.

Satisfied With Taft

"If I had been negotiating such an | agreement as this," MT. Gardner respond ed q think l should have done just as | the President did.''
 That is keep the facts secret?" MT. ] Hale said.
 | MT. Gardner replied that last summer | the President faced the obligation of as- | ing a punitive duty against imports | from Canada because of the discovery l that Canada had given preferential treat ! ment to France. Under the maximum | and minimum provision of the tariff law | NIT. Gardner said. the President would
 be compelled to apply the maximum rates 1 to Canada. but he knew the people of 1 this country would not stand for 1t. As l q result. the President sent commissiou- CTS to Canada who demanded a reciprocal. i trs1ue agreen,ent andstite inevitable hap | pcned. Whenever the maximum provision | of the tariff law cannot be enforced It
 will become weapon in the hands for the
 government discriminating against the 1 United States"
 Senator Root spoke briefly in regard to | the change made in the pulp wood aud | paper provision of the Mccall bill to carry out the provisions of the agreement. Ti.is | change was from the form in which It
 was originally introduced. He suggested l to the committee that they restore the l original language so as to remove every | doubt that any restrictions by any of the provinces of Canada would prevent pulp | ood and paper from coming free until l such restrictions were removed The | New York senator was questioned at length concerning this provision and Senators Hale. Lodge and Shoot, ap- parently speaking for the committed, sail | they agreed that this matter should oe | made perfectly clear.
 George w. Wheelwright of Boston and Hugh J. Chisolm of New York spoke on l the same subject.

Colonel Clark SpeakS
 Colonel Clark, secretary of the Home Market club of Boston, made a protest against the whole agreement on the ground that it was unfair to paper mab- ing. fishing and agricultural industrials.
 A number of representatives of the granges made arguments at both sessions against the passage of the Mccall bill. The speakers during the afternoon were w. T. Greasy, master of the Pennsylvania state grange; N. P. Hull, master of the Michigan grange and president Of the American Dairy Farmers association; F. N. Godfrey, master of the New York grange: Aaron Jones, master of the In diana grange, and George s. Ladd, chair man of the executive committee of the Massachusetts grange.
 MT. Jones told the committee that the farmers depended upon the Senate to de- feat the agreement. He said the finance committee knew how tsf kill the agree ment.
 well, the President Is pretty deter mined" MT. Hale said. What if we fall down before he does?"
 MT. Jones replied that he had been vot- ing the republican ticket for years and served notice that if there was to be free trade for farmers there would have to be fl ee trade for everybody, "and that within two years.''
 While MT. Ladd was speaking he was asked by Senator Penrose how 1t hap rened that Massachusetts selected Cover nor Foss on a democratic ticket and q reciprocity platform If the farmers of Massachusetts were opposed to such an agreement.
 "Don't ask me-" MT. Ladd said. 'The farmers regret 1t now as much as any one"
 The hearings were not concluded today and paper and wood pulp interests will be

JOY IN LABOR.

During the course of a lecture TO
IL number of workingmen DR.. w. ii.
p. Faunce, president Of Brown Uni
rersity asked how many of them
liked their work. About ten percent
answered aftirmatively.
The good doctor then expressed
his deep regret that large majority
OF such an audience evidently worked
solely for the financial remuneration.
If the 10 per cent. spoke truly, the
doctor might we'll have been aStound-
cd that so many were satisfied with
their employment.
The daily task Of the average work
jngman is not one that evokeS real
enthusiasm. In the modern system
OF parceling work. Il man Is rarely
creator. One makes some part ana
another makes another. The great
Joy that men Of other times knew, OF
taking a bit of raw material and Ia
shioning from it a complete object
is no longer to be had. Machinery
is to blame in large measure for the
change: and system, even III hand
work. is also responsible.
In The zeal for enlarged output,
shops have become re-arranged. Each
workman or group of workmen is
trained to specially. Each does
the particular labor for which the
training has been given. So more
finished pieces can be turned out.
1t is better for the shop, but it takes
away much of the JOY Of effort.
Unless work be creative, none
labors save for remuneration. The
applause which probably greeted Dr.
Francis remarks were pay TO him
as absolutely as the money In the
workman's envelope. Remuneration
is not always matter OF dollars and
cents.

A PROTEST FROM VALDEZ.

There is some sensible person in Valdez who Is thoroughly imbued with the spirit of our forefathers, the establishers of this government, who has written from Valdez to Hampton's March number, under the the initials of H. l.. &, the following article. It so fully expresses the thought and spirit of nine-tenths of the people of Alaska that the Miner is pleased to give 1t space
 II. L. $. says:
 Believing you to be a sincere friend of Alaska, l hope you will find room in your Current Con- ment" page for this from Alaska News has reached Valdez that the president urges congress to provide commission form of government for Alaska and states that Alaskans are only to be compared with the Filipinos. He claims that his com mission government Is a success in the Philippine Islands. l should like 10 have the opinion of some of the American soldiers who have been putting down insurrections ever since Taft left them. l have a notion that they might tell different tale
 With regard to the presidents rec Ommendation of commission for Alaska, Mir Taft should have suffi- cient historical knowledge to be aware that every great colonizing power has tried that form of gov ernment for distant colonies, with a distressingly uniform result-the loss of the colony experimented on.
 The president proposes, I believe, to appoint five men to form a com mission to govern Alaska. I am at loss to understand by what divine right he expects congress to grant h'm - through the agents to be ap- pointed by him - autocratic power over the 50,000 Americans resident in Alaska, or by what unholy necro- nancy he figures on coercing the said 50,000 Americans into standing for such despotic proceedings. - Valdez Daily Miner

is right. We cant believe that a supreme judge Is entitled to any more consideration than justice of the peace. We would not trem- ble any more In the presence of the highest ecclesiastical dignitary than in the presence of the humblest mis- sionary. The justice Is as capable of telling right from wrong as the judge. The missionary knows as much of heaven and the life to come as the highest ecclesiastic.
 It Is this fawning submission to the programs laid down by the politicians which has kept mankind out of it's political rights. We have elected men no better than our selves 10 office. and then trembled in fear at the great political mani kins We have erected with our own hands. Having created them for our own use. we get frightened and i'm plore them to save us; and we are altogether like a savage who makes god out of mud and then pros- trates himself before 1t.
 But mankind Is outgrowing the belief that kings can do no wrong, so lately they are attaching string to the men they elect to of fee. By the power of recall 1t Is becoming possible to pull our rep resentatives of their high horses.
