The State Grange has pronounced
against the reciprocity agreement with
Canada, but the lower branch Of the
General Assembly in which there are
"a farmers, has unanimously endors-
ed the agreement Which represents
the agricultural interests, the Grange
or the "a legislators? One or the other
must miSrepresent the Connecticut
farmers. Congressman Hill has pub
licly stated that Canadian competition
cannot possibly damage any Connec-
ticut agricultural interest, and has
proved, by statistics, that Canadian
production is not large enough to
bring about any damaging competi-
ton.
1t is unfortunate that this question
of reciprocity has come to be mixed
up with the question of President
Tafts denomination in 1912. Anti
Taft interests fear that acceptance Of
the agreement would afford a strong
argument for denomination Of the
President. In reality, this apprehen-
sion is itself an argument in his IA
vor. for it cannot be otherwise based
than upon a reasonable expectation
that the agreement will, if adopted,
bring favorable results between now
and 1912.

RADIUM KILLED HIS CATS
SAYS SIR WILLIAM RAMSEY
Tt Produces Profound Alterations OF
the Tissues and It's Effects
Are Irregular.

London, Feb. 11.-Sir William Ram
say, the d.scoverer of the atmospher-
ic gases argor, neon, krypton and
xenon and the leading authority on
the transmutation Of radium, relates
his experiences of the effects of ra-
dunn on life, following the experiment.
AT Abort, near Paris, of Professor
Gabriel Petit, who says he found that
an old horse in whom radium had
been Injected received a new lease OF
life.
saThe experiment" says Sir William
"has been frequently tried both on
animals and on human beings but
with no very positive results. 1 have
tried radium injections on cats and
the effect was that they became ema-
ciatetd after a short time and even
ciated after a short time and even
terations of the tissues.
"Of eight persons suffering from
cancer who received injections of ra-
dunn, one recovered, but the others
did not, so that it is difficult to say
what were the effects of the rad1um,
if any.
.The external application of radium
for certain kinds of cancer undoubt-
edlv effects a cure, but in other kinds
sometimes results are attained ana
sometimes not The skin undoubted-
ly shows radio-activity for some time
and the effect on many persons may
be Of a stimulating nature.
zone of the greatest objections to
the use of radium for injections
would be it's excessive cost"

at Southern Convention
of Prelates

Mobile, Ala, Feb. 11-President Taft
and the United States Supreme Court
were denounced here at the session of
the Council of Confederated Bishops,
which negro Bishops from all parts of
the country attended.
Bishop B. F. Lee of Wilberforce,
Ohio, Secretary Of the Council of Con-
federated Negro Bishops, who helped
to manage Bryan's campaign among
the negroes in opposition to Mr.. Taft,
declared that the President was not
a. friend of his race.
Bishop H. M. Turner of Atlanta, Ga.
maintained that the negro had no
rights in this country.

THE BOARD OF
APPORTIONNIENT,

The public hearings Of the Board of
Apportionment are not very satisfac-
tory. Taxpayers who have no per-
sonal axes to grind and who are in
terested only In a general way, do
not appear. although they are precise
ly the ones who are needed as advis-
ers and whose advice, not being per-
sonaIly or directly interested. could be
wisely accepted. They are apt to crit
.cise IN private, but indisposed to ad-
wise in public.
The board. or some of its members
seems disposed to fret over the mint,
snise and cunimin" OF the matters be-
fore them and to slight "the weightier
matters Of the law Small items of
appropriations are scanned closely,
and the larger matters slip through
with little notice. Possibly, if our
puhlic-spirited but diffident citizens,
who entertain opinions upon these
weightier matters. would appear at
the hearings. these conditions might
change.
The greatest question before the
Board is the tax rate. Present condi-
tons are such as demand a reduction
I'm this rate. Until assessments are
more nearly equalized and until manu-
featuring and business conditions i'm
prove, the burden Of taxation should
bear as lightly as possible. consistent
" with the progress and growth of
the city. No city can expand, in any
proportion with its advantages, I'M
less its tax rate is reasonable, as COM
pared with the rates in competing cit
les On the other hand, a growing
city needs facilities of all kinds which
should at least equal those Of it's
competitors. 1t is the duty Of the
Board of Apportionment to equitably
balance these condition.
The personal interests of members
OF the Board are not legitimate fac
tors in the adjustment Of pending
questions. They are appointed to pro-
mote the interests of the city as a
whole, and not of any person or Sec
ton Their duty requires an abate-
ment of personal feelings and inter-
ests. otherwise, the Board does not
fulfil the purpose of its creation and
is building for a fall

Cold storage is beginning to be
charged with a considerable share of
the responsibility for the high prices
of food products. Heavy purchases in
times of abundant supplies, and deal

times of scant supplies, with the in

the practice of the larger cold-stor-
age houses. Legislatures are begin

vides for inspection, stamping of goods

In a circular issued by the National

markets by syndicate of French and

be not so much a question of how
much they CAN advance the price
as how much they DARE advance it,
How much they dare"-that is,
how much the market will bear with
out lessening the demand. 1t is the
same principle upon which all the big
trusts base their selling prices.

SCHOOL INSPECTION.

To the Editor of the Farmer:
Sir: In the matter of the report OF
DIR. Sherman on the school question
and medical inspection, 1 would like
to say that I am one of the parents
who had notice that my child had de-
fective teeth. But she was then in
the care of a dentist and had been
for two months or more, SO I sent
note to the teacher, saying that 1 am
fully able to care for my own child
without any outside assistance. Some
children are unclean, but the teach
ers know enough to know when to
send them home. I know this is a
free country, but I don't think this
gives any one liberty to maui your
children over at will and I for one
don't think I shall stand for it and
I should like to advise DR.. Sherman
not to put anything more in my
child's mouth.
