Reduction in the cost Of living is tlhe principal argument in use by President Teft's friends in support of his reciprocity agreement with Can ada There would be no very large reduction in the prices of food pro- ducts. for Canada fs not yet heavy producer Of them beyond the needs of its own people. but its production would steadily increase under the en- couragement of demand from, this country. We have been told that the time Is near when this country will be compelled by increasing population and decreasing production of cattle. sheep and hoKs to become a buyer of food products Would 1t not be more con- venient as well as cheaper to buy from Canada than from South America or Australia?

POSTAL BILL PLEASES
Clerks Here Like Features of the New Appropria-
 tion Proposal

In the new Hitchcock appropriation bill for post office appropriations which has passed the national House and is now before the Senate. there are provisions which are gratefully received by postal employees here.
 One of the provisions referred to al lows S769.G00 for expenses of rail- way mail clerks when they are away from home Last year there was only s260. 900 appropriated for this pur- pose.
 Another provision of the bill par ticularly pleasing to local employees is that which vii compensate postal ern- ployes for extra time they will be call ed upon to serve on Sundays. It is provided for extra work they will have to do they shall be allowed off an equal amount of time they have been employed on the extra work.

The indications to such effect are found in "the rise in the price Of steel wire: the new invest ment of $7.0oo 900 by the Crucib1e Steel Co. in . plant that is to produce spe- cial high-grade materials: the increas- ing volume of orders for steel rails from the carriers: the expanding ex- port trade in, the country's steel pro- ducts. and the prospect that the in- vsstment demand will take fresh is- sues of corporation capital to be used for improvements and additions to DFopeEty-" It Is a refreshing pros Dgcf whfch Is thus outlined An specially interesting feature of 1t is the demonstration that the steel pro- duce-s of this country can and do compete in foreign markets. which fact proves. as Andrew Carnegie as- ssrted months ago. that the steel in- dusry does not need protection If it can compete with foreign producers ln their own countries 1t could surely meet them in the home market

U. S. TO BUY A PARIS HOUSE.

Paris, Jan. 31.-It is understood here that the United States has ta- ken steps to buy the house in the Rue de Fenthievre which was built by Benjamin Franklin and upon the roof which was installed the first lightning-rod. It appears that the American government wishes to pre- serve the house as being of unusual ministerial interest and later it might be made to serve as an Elm baSsy Building. General Bonaparte once lived there, as did Josephine and Hortense de Beauharnais.

To Race in November

The Southern Maryland Fair Asso-
citation is to have 10 days racing
meet at the new track here, the direc-
tors having fixed upon the first 10 days
in November for the time. The reason
for delay has been two-fold:
The decision of the Circuit Court, de-
claring the law of 1898, under which
the application of the fair association
was filed with the court, unconstitu-
tional, and the plea of the tobacco
growers of this section to the effect
that the races, if held during Septem-
ber, would take away many laborers at
a critical harvesting period.
The position taken by the court is
now fully met by the directors. who
have been advised by Attorney-G General
Straus, in which he gives it as his opin-
ion that they can proceed under the law
of 1894. Accordingly they have decided
to erect new grandstand to replace
that burned last spring, and work was
begun in earnest on Monday to get the
grounds in shape. The barns and stalls
on the grounds were not injured by the
fire and are in good condition.
The Association will hold the Fail
the first three days.

An Idle Threat

BALTIMORE, Md, October a, 1911.
THE ENQUIRER,
Upper Marlboro, Md:
Mr.. John B. Hanna, Chairman of the
Republican State Central Committee,
is alleged to have said in an interview.
published in the Baltimore papers We'd
nesday, that if the election Supervisors
in what are known as the Wilson Ballot
law Counties, try to arrange the ballots
so that they will be difficult to vote,
that prosecution will be instituted
against the Supervisors in the U. S.
Court, basing his threat on deci-
sion of Judge Morris in what is known
as the Annapolis case which case is
about as near to the Wilson Ballot law
as the moon is to green cheese The
Annapolis case was one wherein acting
under States Statute, the registers of
voters refused to register Annapolis
negroes. This Statute afterwards was
decided by Judge Morris to be in con-
f1ict with the Fifteenth Amendment OF
the Federal constitution, therefore be-
came dead letter. The Wilson Ballot
Law in no way conflicts with Federal
Statutes and has been upheld by the
Courts whenever questioned. Mr..
Hanna's threat is buncoed of the
rankest kind and is intimidation, pure
and simple
