1t is Int 3reStiug to find in one Of
the newspapers which has given
much prominence to various reports
of farmers societies and associations
in which the Canadian reciprocity
pact was condemned as a measure
inimical to the farmers, a somewhat
inconspicuous item oi quite a diff r

The item in question has it that

the alarm that the farmers will Suf-
fer from an agreement with Canada
is largely overdrawn. 1t will give
the farmers better returlS in many
ways. Probably the majority of IL
linoiS farmers favor it.
The truth appears to be that op-
position to the treaty in which Pres
ident Taft is more deeply interested
now than in any other single meas
ure has been almost wholly from
politicians and political writer's who
foresee the breaking down of a prin-
ciple in government which has not
been justified in this country for
many years. That the farmers are
prepared 70 indorse the treaty which
seeks to broaden the field for pro-

position all the more tryint.

understanding tha, the public can

partisan action. which has no higher
purpose than that Of public dccep-

disfavor.
Most Of the republican members
o. the house of representatives who
voted against reciprocity sought to
defend their votes by declaring that
the measure was against the hest
interests of the farmers, and that

FAVORABLE T0LIGHTF0OT
House Committee Wants Him to
Disburse Certain Sum.

Before a committee of the Texas
house Attorney General Jewell P
Lightfoot took the position that he
should be free to disburse the appro-
priations made for his department as
he deemed best. This came up during
the consideration by the committee
OF the bill appropriating $25, 600 for
the attorney general to enforce the
land and other laws. Governor Col
quit was also invited to appear be-
fore the committee, but his official du-
ties prevented.
Attorney General Lightfoot stated
also that he did not want to antagon-
ize the governor and that there were
no hard feelings between himself and
the state executive, but he believed he
should have the right to spend this
money without the sanction of the
governor
Aft + the attorney general had con
cluded the committee nanimously de-
cided to report the bill favorably with
the provision that the rnopey shall be
disbursed by attorney general without
the sanction of the governor.

TERRIFIC BLDWUP
At JERSEY CITY.
Explosion Shakes Business Dis,
trlct of New York.
BODIES HURLED IN RIVER
Occurs on Jersey Central Rail-
way Dock just Across From the
Manhattan Island Side and Huge
Buildings Sway.

A terrific explosion of dynamite or
powder took place on q Jersey Cen
trail railway dock just across the riv-
er from the southern end of Manhat-
tan island, spread terror in great
area, rocked the skyscraper district
of lower New York and causeda panic
throughout the metropolis
Great showers OF glass from many
windows in buildings of the financial
district pelted pedestrians on Broad
way, Church and Cortland streets.
About the railroad dock dead and
dying were scattered, while a number
OF bodies we're hurled into the Hudson
river. Police and fire boats from both
sides of the river soon began taking
dead and wounded from the water.
Damage to government immigrant
station on Ellis island resulted. Win
dows we're smashed and many of the
employees injured by fragments OF fly
ing glass.
The Catherine c., q boat, leaving
her pier, adjoining the Jersey Central
railway pier was demolished. the pier
completely wrecked and other boats
nearby damaged.
There was much excitement in the
tall Singer building. Persons in the
tower at the time say they felt per
ceptible sway. Several windows in
building were blown in. Afterthe ex-
plosion there was rush for the ele-
vators and for time the cars were
taxed to their capacity.
1t was fortunate no immigrants at
the time were being landed at station,
as three holes, ranging from three to
fifteen feet, we're torn in the hall where
the immigrants are inspected.
The concussion set of many fire
alarms and the shrill whistles of the
fire engines added to the confusion.
Father O'Reilly of Jersey City. who
was near the docks, said he admins
tered the last rites of the church to five
men and one headless corpse near the
pier.

way pier WheE the explosion occurred.
