HOW RECIPROCITY PASSED
AVID EXCITING SCENES OPPO-
VENTS CHARGED GAG RULE.
Republicans We're Badly Divided

saventy-Eight Republicans Observe
President Taft's Wish in Voicing
Their Approval of Reciprocity.
only Five Democrats Voted
AGAINST Measure ON Roll Call.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-President
raf-.s reciprocity agreement with
ranada was ratified in the house of
ranresentatives tonight through the
-,noort of an almost solid demo-
cratic vote.
The Mccall bill, carrying the
oorpement into effect, was passed
a21 to go. A majority of the re-
nrblicans present voted against the
measure, the division being rs ayes
and ST noes. The democratic vote
was 143 ayes and noes.
The Mccall bill now goes to the
senate What it's fate will be in
that body is predetermined at this
+ime. President Taft believes that
# a flibuster can be avoided and a
vote taken the bill viii pass. He
insists that the senate shall act one
wav or the other, and has indicated
that he would call an extra session
of congress if it does not do so.
In democratic Fold"
The passage of the bill in the
house came at the end of long
debate which at times was as bitter
as has been heard on the floor of the
chamber in years. The fight was
confined almost to the republican
side Democratic members joined
in from time to time and tainted
the majority members for their lack
of unity.
The democratic members also put
in the claim that the reciprocity
agreement was good democratic doc
trine and declared that they were
glad to welcome President Taft and
many of the house republicans into
the democratic fold. The sugges-
ton came from the republican side
that Mr.. Taft and Champ Clark
might be rivals for the next demo-
cratic presidential nomination. Mr..
Clark claimed that in a contest of
that sort he would win with 'hands
down."
A final vote was reached tonight
only through the application of a
cloture rule, which shut off all
amendments, and even dispensed
with the reading of the bill.
Good to Be Winning.
The republicans opposed to the
bill fought the rule to the very last,
denouncing it in caustic language.
They directed their fire especially
against the democrats and accused
them, on the eve of going into pow
er in the house, of enforcing a gag
rule as drastic as any against which
they had SO eloquently inyeighed in
the past.

CLARK'S BAD BREAK.
Leader Injected Annexation Into
Discussion of Reciprocity.

Washington.-The remarks which
Champ Clark, the democratic speak
er-tO-be, made in the house yester-
day during the debate on the Cana
dian reciprocity, to the effect that
he believed the stars and stripes
would one day float over the West
ern Hemisphere, stirred up most I'M
expected trouble. President Taft
took occasion to write to Represent
at1ve Mccall, introducer of the reci-
procity bill, letter disclaiming and
deprecating the annexation talk,
to follow it up with personal re-
marks, even more emphatic, to his
visitors. The letter of President
Taft to Mr.. Mccall says in part:
This agreement, if it becomes a
law, has no political significance.
No thought of future political an
neXation or union was in the mind
OF the negotiators on either side.
canada is now and will remain a
political unit"
The white house is said to regard
the remarks of Mr.. Clark as most
unfortunate and the president has
made it known that he would like
10 nave 1t understood throughout
the world that his administration
mad no thought whatever of annex
alton when the reciprocity agree
ment was arranged.
The news that Mr.. Clark's alIu-
slons had created excitement in
Canada and England occasioned
great surprise and considerable
amusement at the capitol. The man
most surprised was Mr.. Clark him
self. He declared today that he ex-
pressed his own individual opinion
and declared that he stands pat on
his speech.

HOGS ARE MIGHTY THIN.
Styles Are Changing, and Only Ra-
zOr Backs Are in Fashion.

Styles Are Changing, and Only RAJ
zOr Backs Are in Fashion.
Hogs apparently are following the
fashion of the day and have joined
the anti-fat movement which paved
the way for the hobble skirt. Sta
tistics to the department of agricult-
ure at Washington indicate that
they are getting thinner every year,
and that the razorback may yet be
the porcine mode.
The figures show that hogs mar
keted between 80 and 40 years ago
averaged one-fourth heavier than
those in recent years. In the decade
of 1870-79 the average weight of
hogs killed during the winter
months in western packing centers
was about 275 pounds; in the de-
cade 1880-89 about 257 pounds; IN
the decade ,189O-99 about 239
pounds, and in the last decade about
PIG pounds.
No theories are advanced by the
department as to the cause of this
decrease in the weight of porkers.

THE test OF reasonableness was never
applied by the court at common law to

acles In restraint Of trade whose purpose

or establish m~onopolies. The courts
never assume power to say that such
contracts or combinations or cOnsplr-
acies might he lawful II the parties to
them were only moderate In the use OF
the power thus secured and did not
exact from the public too great and
exorbitant prices.
1T IL true that many theorists. and
others engaged in business violating the
statute. have hoped hat some such line
could be dra wn by courts, but no court

Certainly there Is nothing In the decl-
