JUDGE GREEN OPPOSES
CANADIAN RECIPROCITY
Because he Believes 1t Would Not
Benefit The Farmers OF The
Mississippi Valley.

Audubon, Iowa, May 1, 1911
Editor Telegraph, Atlantic, Iowa.
Having been informed that many
persons desire that the Republican
candidates for the congressional nom
ination in this district should state
their position with reference to an
agreement for Reciprocity with Canada,
/ would state that am not now and as
my intimate friends well know never
have been in favor of such an agree
ment for the following among other
reasons:
LIST. 1t is proposed to exchange the
trade of ninety millions of people for
that Of nine millions.
and. The agreement is contrary to
the principles of true reciprocity in
that it effects principally in this coun-
try, products as to which Canada is a
competitor.
3rd. 1t is cardinal doctrine of
Republicans as l understand it, that
our home industries should be protected
against foreign competitors who possess
an advantage; and it is unfair to the
farmers to take away the little protec-
ton that they now have and oblige
them to compete with the owners of
cheaper lands operated at less expense.
There are many other reasons why
am opposed to this proposed treaty
which l think unnecessary to now
state. Respectfully yours,
w. X. GREEN.

Important Change In The Railroad
Map OF Iowa.

The Inauguration on May 14th. OF
through high class passenger service
over the new Rock Island Short Line
between Des Moines and the Twin
Cities marks the beginning of important
changes in the railroad map of Iowa,
and incidently establishes q number of
new transportation routes of vital i'm
| portance to Des Moines, st. Paul, Mimi
eapolis and tributary territory ON the
north, and the entire southwest. BY
the acquisition OF the st. Paul and Des
Moines r. R., the Rock Island Lines,
In connection with their present line,
secure the shortest route between Des
Moines and the Twin Cities and reach
rich territory. The new line shortens
the distance BETWEEN Mason City
and the Twin Cities and gives that
growing Industrial center additional
outlets north, and south Of immense
value.
BY the construction Of the new line
south Of Dies Moines upon which, it is
announced, work will at once commence,
the short line between Des Moines and
Kansas City will result. This will es-
tablish q direct line from the Twin
Cities through Mason City, Iowa Falls
and Des Moines to Kansas City and the
Gulf ports which materially shortens
the distance, will provide increased
transportation facilities to Des Moines
and supply desirable means of traffic
interchange between Des Moines and
the important centers of the north, and
the rapidly developing southwest. The
new trains will provide through night
and day service between Des Moines,
st. Paul, Minneapolis and Mason City
at convenient hours and meet the popu-
lar demand.
just bow soon the new route will be
open between the Twin Cities and Kan
sas City, and through service established
the entire distance is conjectural, but
assurance is given that the work south
of Des Moines will progress as rapidly
as Is consistent with modern high grade
railway construction. In the meantime
careful attention will be given to the
operation Of satisfactory service between
Des Moines, Iowa Falls, Mason City,
Plymouth junction, Albert Lea, Fari-
bault, Northheld, st. Paul and Mimi
eapolis commencing May 18th.

The Need OF Tho Ninth.

The Ninth district congressional
committee which met in this city Fri
day was o sanely constituted body of
men. There is just a shadow of a
question whether it would not have
been better to have had new delegates
chosen to the county convention than
to accept those chosen under different
conditions than these with the present
temper Of the republicans in the dis
trict, Is not, we believe, q material
consideration. While the delegates
chosen year ago were largely from
one faction of the party, they are not
or should not be so prejndiced that
they are likely to act unwisely in the
naming OF delegates to the congress
sional convention to be held May Is.
Parties, like men, must be able to
govern themselves wisely and when
they fail to do this they suffer the con-
sequences. The problem in the Ninth
district now is to name q candidate
and adopt platform Offering common
ground on which republicans without
reference to fractional alignment may
present q united front. This will in
volve reasonable concession on both
sides and good temper in all cases.
1t must always be remembered, too,
that there Is large number of voters
who watch the movements of political
managers with intelligent conception
OF what these movements mean and no
patched up truce merely to get offices
will be accepted in lieu Of an Intelligent
effort to solve problems in the manner
and form desired by the people. What
the people want is what they will get.

themselves. not as supplicants for Office,
but ss intelligent and forceful instru-
mentalities through which the ever ris-
ing problems of government will be
solved in the interests Of q square deal
TO all men and to all interests. A can
didate and platform giving assurance
OF these things is the need OF the Ninth

Some Chilly May Days.

The Omaha Bee calls attention to the
fact that some other May days have
been chilly:
May day, 1911, proves not much un.
like May day. The chilly weather this
year, coming after period of beauti.
full days and helpful spring rains, was
by no means unprecedented. May in
this valley often loses its sweet tran
Quillity long enough to show us very
ugly disposition. In 1907 the month
was more than half gone before il be.

spread; snow fell again May 4, and the
when another snow fell and in Omaha
the temperature ranged from "a to 81,
though at North Platte it was as low
as 90.
Yesterday when people awoke on the
first May morning and found snow
flurries had fallen during the night and
the atmosphere was decidedly sharp,
many Of them naturally jumped to the
conclusion that it meant the doom of
fruit, but that is not certain, if the ex-
perts are dependable. In fact, the fruit
has got along so well thus far, the
spring has been so much more favorable
than usual, that the buds should be able
to Withstand the rigors of Indictment
weather. While this cold snap is extern
sive and more severe at other points
carrying possibility Of much damage
results may not be serious, at least in
this immediate vicinity. Thus far
orchardists have found little damage
done to fruit, which is in much better
condition to escape the frost blight than
ii was four years ago.

BE Careful With GLASS.

Supervisor johnson, who went around
this spring and secured a subscription
of more than two hundred dollars to in
crease the funds for dragging the roads
in Audubon asks US to request the peo-
pie to not throw any stuff in the road
or in the ditch along the street. Some
are 50 rhoughtless that they throw glass
bottles and tin cans into the gutter and
the drag carries them to the middle of
the street where they become dangerous
to man and beast-r TO say nothing of au-
tomobile tires MIR. johnson should not
only be commended for his good work
but every citizen should assist him in
every way possible. Now if you have
any pride in your home and your town
do not throw any stuff in the street.

: Round. ShouIdered Girls.

At the High School ,oncert we sat
behind the section reserN ID for the girls
who took part in the rogram. And
our attention was calico to the fact that
not more than ten per cent sat up
straight. Instead of doing so they sat
in bumped up position with their
heads at an angle Of about 40 degrees
from the perpendicular. And when
they stood up the round shoulders were
very noticeable. We do not mention
this TO reflect upon the girls or the
teachers, but something should be done
to correct the growing evil in our
schools. Why not organize straight
up society?
