ILLOGICAL CONCLUSION" OF
G. 0. P. TARIFF PLANK
Reciprocal Reduction Of Duties
on Goods Exchanged Between
The Two Countries

Springfield, Ill.,, Feb. ll.-President
Taft defended the proposed reciprocity
with Canada in an address before the
Illinois Legislature here today as log
zeal conclusion" of The protection
plank in the last Republican national
platform
He defined the protection theory as
one that should impose a tariff not
exceeding the difference in the cost
Of production in this country ana
abroad and allowing fair margin OF
profit for the home producer
we agreed, therefore, that mas
much as the conditions Of production
IRON the United States and Canada
were substantially the same, the wild
est latitude was given Secretary
Knox and the commissioners who rep
resented the United States in Offering
Canada a reduction of duties on goods
and products coming into this coun-
try from Canada in consideration OF
the establishment of the same duty,
Or freedom from duty, on simlmr
goods going into Canada
The president explained that ii as
thought wiser on behalf of both gov
ernments not to make a formal treaty
but to make an agreement between
the executives by which each should
submit the agreement in the form OF
4 statute to be enacted and to go into
force on condition that similar
statue was passed by the legislature
OF the other country"

UNDER LOTTERY LAW
Proceedings Brought Against
Local Tailor to Break Up
Suit Clubs"

Proceedings under the statute for
bidding lotteries were commenced TO-
day against W. c. Lirwall, a local
tailor The action is understood to
be backed by the retail clothing mer-
Giants of the city. VIM. Vampner
made the complaint and County Attor
ney Adams commenced the case to-
day.
The object nf prosecution is to
break up The suit clubs it is said.
The practice of the clubs has been to
take on forty-five members, each OF
whom is TO get a $50 suit The pay
ments are 81 a week for fifteen weeks
except for those who draw numbers
letting them out. One man drops
out each week
BY peculiar coincidence, Vampner,
The complain.Gg witness. was the first
man to draw out Of the Lindwald club
paying only 81.

High Cost of Printing.
tWichita Eagle !

Two Reno county newspapers were
sold at auction recently, and half
dozen Kansas weeklies are advertis-
ed for sale The publishers of daily
papers, says the Emporia Gazette,
have to do tall figuring to make ends
meet, even in brisk seasons, and in
dun seasons there is a good deal OF
tragedy in newspaper offices.
Everything that a printer man buys
has gone up in price. Labor is more
expensive lthhn a few years ago,
and it Is the same way with paper,
and ink, and all his supplies.
The butcher and the grocer and
other business men can charge more
for their goods as their expenses in
crease, and the ultimate consumer
has to stand for it, but the publish
er can not raise his prices without
causing a general howl He gets
the same subscription price that he
got when it cost him half as much
to issue his paper, and he can't raise
his advertising rates without having
the militia back of him. And in nine
cases out Of ten he has to fight
against runous competition. Print
ers seem to have less sense than the
ordinary run of men, in that they are
willing to work for nothing, rather
than have nothing to do
AS a consequence of this condition
of affairs good many Kansas papers
are on the market and among them
are several which are old and which
used TO be prosperous.

Is particularly unfortunate, in view
OF the fact that the ways and means
committee is holding hearing on the
Canadian reciprocity agreement. How
ever, it is expected that the commit
tee will report out the agreement Fri
day If it is brought out of commit
tee on that date, the plan is to pass
it Saturday and put it up to the SEN

Champ Clark. the minority leader,
also was confined to his home today
with an attack of sciatic rheumatism.
Representative Elvins of Missouri,
has been i'll for the last three days
