In order that our position on anti

the reform we wish is this, to let
those who believe in vaccination have
all they want of it, but they should
not be permitted to force 1t on any

vaccination, and all fair minded per-

This, We do not wish to force our
opinions regarding vaccination upon
anyone and are fully determined that
they shall not be permitted to force
their opinions upon us.

ymY PECULIAR SITUATION.

The reciprocity agreement with
Canada In antagonized on both sides
of the line Ordinarily, it is the OPP
position or minority party which OPP
pooes Administration measures. and
such Is the fact in Canada In this
country, the antagonism does not, or
should not, come from the minority
perty, but from elements in the dom
inAn& party. The agreement embed
1es tariff changes which have been
dsnnanded by the Democratic party
for many years, which have lately
been approved by Republican ele-
ment. the Progressive and which have
always been antasonized by the Re-
publican regulars. Thus, the situa-
ton presents very peculiar appear
ance. , In Canada, an Administration
measure approved by the dominant
party and opposed by the minority
organization; In this country, an AID
ministration measure approved by the
minority and evidently to be opposed
By majority of the dominant party.
Analysed stu further, the agreement
seems 70 be antagoHized in Canada
and in our own country by the high
sarin parties, and to be supported in
both countries by the low tariffites-
Democrats and Progressfves.
In Canada and in England, the OPP
position has raised the bogy of a re-
sultant divorce of Canada from Great
Britain. The agreement is called
the entering Of q wedge" and this
characferixatfon is fortified by the re-
versal of an old saying into The flag
may follow the trade" We do not
believe that this country desires to an
mex Canada or that it will ever so
desire. unless in the improbable event
Of the establishment here of a land
greedy monarchy.
The Connecticut genealogical socie-
ty has declared It's opposition to the
reciprocity agreement Though neith-
er the resolution nor the debate there
upon so stated, the society's opposi-
ton IN doubtless based upona the pro-
vision making fresh fruits free Of
tarin duties for both countries. In
palmer words. the motive Of the
society - Of the self-interest type,
based upon an apprehension of Can
adam competition Other organiza-
lions WIN probably take similar ac-
tibn for the same reason. 1t Is not
q broad-minded view. It takes little
or no thought Of the consumers In
terest or OF the general welfare.
The reciprocity agreement should
be approved. II rejected, Democratic
votes cannot consistently appear on
the negative side. Nor can the votes
Of Progressives do so.

VERY KEEN CRITICISM.

this kind of animal, for meat was
cheap and the consumer could buy

brought about change In values As
land and labor increased In price the
farmer found that the longer he kept
an animal the more OF his labor went
In maintenance and this lessened his
profit Just that much Then he found
that the higher-priced lands could not
be used for beef and that there was
more money in raising corn. So men
who had been engaged in raising cat
tie for market started raising corn,
and bought their steers from those
occupying cheap lands and finished
them OF themselves. Throughout the
corn belt the popular steer has ranged
for "a to 80 months old, says the
Homestead. The majority Of fattened
steers went to market at 30 months,
Weighing from 1000 to 1850 pounds
