Canadian Reciprocity

Many OF our readers have paid
little attention TO the reciprocity
talk and now, since it has become
the leading political issue, are a
little at sea-. The reciprocity idea
in a new issue, and was not mem
TONED in the parties platforms,
so neither party is pledged for
or against it, but the result will
be very similar to free trade, as
IL conflicts with the Republican
policy of protection.
Under the Canadian Reciprocity
Act, certain articles would be adj
mitted free between this country
and Canada. We could send ma
chinery and manufactured articles
TO Canada free and they could send
over their wheat, produce, cattle,
lumber, wood pulp, etc, free.
The exchange looks like a fair
trade until examined more closely.
We have ninety millions Of pro-
tected people, who would at once
be in competition with the world,
- Canada's doors are not shut
We would have In return only a
very small population to sell to
free.

Hailed With Delight

Canada II very much pleased
with the prospects OF the reci-
procity agreement as shown by
the following article taken from
a Canadian farm paper:
There can be no question as "a
the value OF the United States
markets for Canadian farm pro-
duce. The strongest argument
that can be advanced In support
OF our position on this question
Is to give market quotations nj
United States and Canadian CEN
tiers. Just now United States mar
kets are dull and quotations are
lower than usual. Nevertheless a
comparison OF Toronto and Buff
falo markets last week show that
when prime steers were selling at
$3.50 TO So in Toronto, they were
bringing $40 to $3.50 for the
same quality in Buffalo. Hogs
were $6.T5 In Toronto and $3.50
to S7.75 in Buffalo. The average
price for cheese In Canada last
seasou was 10 SIS cents. In the
United States IL ruled three and
even four cents higher. Farm
ers who were exporting ream
across the line practically free OF
duty were realizing 10 TO ~ cents

Of last week of Mrs. Fray, mother
Of Mrs. J. J. kirkpatrick, OF this

the most remarkable that he ever
heard OF and we must agree with
him.
Mrs. Fray died a. the age OF

husband died a. years ago, leav-
ing her with a big family and in
poor financial circumstances.
She reared the family in a most
creditable manne and she died In
good circumstances. Ten OF her
children were present ut her flu

The Square Deal in Tariffs

At the annual dinner OF the Trai
fic Club In Pittsburg, speaking on
the subject OF "Protection for All
or for None" ex-Representative
James 7. McCleary OF Minnesota
said some decidedly sensible things
"The real protectionist stands for
protection as n consistent national
policy that knows no favored Sec
tons and no favored industries
he declared. "The real projections
list stands for the proposition that
protection Is for all American in
dustries according TO their needs,
or that II will, and should, soon
cease to be for any"
This Is s~traight-out protection
ist talk. IL is the principle on
which protection al a policy Is
justified. On this principle the re
%ciprocity programme which is TO
come up In Congress this week
makes war. This project would
sacrifice the farmers, especially
those on the northern tier Of the
states. II would furnish free en-
try for some agricultural products
OF Canada and reduced duties for
Others, thus bringing Canada's
farmers into harmful competition
with u agriculturists. Moreover,
there Is a chance that IL we grant
the proposed favors to Canada,
some of the European countries
may ask like concessions from us.
limitations have come recently to
the government at Washington
that Germany, France, Italy and
some other countries are TO de-
mand from us treatment like that
which we accord to Canada. Thus
the persons who aimed to break
down the protection wall at only
one spot may find that it may be
RACED along the whole line.-Globe

the local markets than Is paid for
II in Liverpool or London. AS a
result OF the prospects OF the new
law, il has already fallen to nearly
the foreign market price, losing
our farmers millions of dollars,
The price Of wheat regulates corn
and cattle to a certain extent and
they must go down in proportion.
Our Saline countians who own Can
ada farms r getting rich raising
wheat in Canada and they will
tell you it's because of the cheap
land there. Our home farmers are
not able to compete with this
cheap land and also pay the high
salaries, go salaries and land must
come down. We all know what
a declining market does to our
prosperity.
The issue was sprung as a free
trade trick and most OF the Re-
publican members OF Congress
saw through IL at once, but Pres
ident Taft could not see II that
way and he determined TO have the
measure passed with the aid Of
Democratic congressman.
We hope our readers will note
carefully who Is for and who
against this measure when II Is
passed and also watch the result
and then they will be able to
vote intelligently on the issue at
the next general election.

The Boy Scout Movement

We have been reading through
the city papers for some time,
Of the Boy Scout" movement,in
America, and in foreign countries
II Is now brought to u own
town, with every probability OF
an organization here.
Scout johnson came In on his
bicycle last week, on his hike to
San Francisco. He left New York
City In November, and has gone
a little les than half way. He Ia
here in the interest of the move
ment, and Is organizing a com
pany here. He came from Boone
vile, and will 20 from here to
Lexington, when the weather per-
mits him to ride.
WHAT THE MOVEMENT Is
The Boy Scouts we're first orr
ganized in the large cities, with a
view to giving the boys, between
~ and IS years of age, training
Of both physical and moral nat
ure; In other words, to make a
man OF him, before he takes the
other purse The organization Is
gotten up in a strict military way
with an executive committee ov-
n the whole. The commanding of
ficer Is the scout-master, who
has complete charge, subject to
the committee, which Is usually
composed OF older men. Under
him r the minor officers, down
TO the private.
The rules forbid those things
which so often ruin boys, such as
cigarettes, liquor, the attending OF
indecent shows, obscene or pro-
fame language, etc. The boys are
required to stick by their pledge
and II they fail, are expelled.
The physical training Is very
fine, II consists In hikes over the
country, camping trips and the
sort OF exercise that boys like.
They are taught useful things such
as emergency treatment, in case OF
accident, how to handle a drown
ing person, OF stop Ia runaway
team. The idea is to make men
OF strength, who will know what
to do when trouble comes.
Scout Johnson, on this trip must
make his own way. He cannot
ask for help, and IL 1t Is not ten
dered him he must go to work
for a few days. People should
not imagine, however, that their
boys would be required to do
anything like he is doing. He Is
here oh a mission and did II vol
unfairly.
There have been two meetings,
one on Sunday afternoon where
the problem was discussed and a
appointed with Prof.
Chairman, to look into
the matter and make recommen-
dations. The next meeting was
held Tuesday afternoon and about
20 boys enrolled for the proposed
company. The committee desired
more time and the meeting adj
iourned, subject to the call of the
The boys should enter this move
ment and make 1t go. II their
parents will allow them to do so
1t will be a great thing for the
town.
