Illinois situation Is not the mere
existence Of widespread legislative
corruption, but the fact that 1t is
evidently regarded by many good
citizens as permanent and IRENE

government is that in which the ig-
norant and vicious dominate the in
teIligent and virtuous. II he were

dition he dreaded 10 one in which the

THE PRTvATE SOLDIER.


Editor Reflector: II, as General
Wood asserts, West Point is not
furnishing enough graduates to off
Ger the army. why not open the door
Of hope to the private soldier3
The Civil war taught US that the
possession Of a West Point sheep
skin does not necessarily make a
great commander. The military
academy made Mcclellan great en-
gineer, but 1t could not make him
a successful fighter. Grant was not
conspicuous at West Point, but he
knew how to get results on the bat,
tlefield. He would doubtless have
been great general had he enlisted
as private--provided he was given
the opportunity to show the stuff that
was in him. As he had left the regu-
lar army long before the war, he had
scarcely q better opportunity than
any private citizen among the many
given commissions.
In the regular army the private
soldier has absolutely no chance.
There are many men in the ranks
who could, II given the opportunity,

Soldiers are poorly

officers and themselves, and the inn

tice and study. In few years they

q hopeless struggle before It 10 too
late to turn to other occupations in
which they will enjoy an American
boys birthright---a fair chance.
Precisely the same conditions ex-
list in the navy. Not long before his
death Admiral Sampson wrote let
ter to the department protesting
against the promotion Of a cerain
gunner ON the ground that he was
not a graduate Of the naval aead-
envy. He admitted that the young
man was fully competent. that his
character was above reproach. but he
declared that socially he would not
be acceptable to Annapolis-bred Of
ficers and to their wives. Admiral
was himself Of humble ori-
gin, the son Of a village Iaborer, and
to be honored rather than condemned
for 1t. But having been through the
academy his point Of view was that Of
a Washington or Newport ballroom
rather than the 4--.--- -itizen who be-
lieves in the man who can get re-
suits, in war as well as in peace.

men. Give him every opportunity

Il VI
PROVISIONS or RECIPROCITY.
Reciprocity having now run the
gauntlet Of Congress and being in q
fair way to be ratified in Canada,
many people wish to know Just what
the agreement Is, and what the ex-
pectation Of its friends is in the way
of increased trade.
Reciprocity in this case is not en-
tire free trade says the Capital. There
lis free trade by both countries in
Agricultural and live stock products,
galvanized and barbed wire, cream
|separators and some minor articles.
liz Canada benefits by the removal
of duties on her farm products, 80
will the United States by the removal
Pof Canada's protective duties against
this country. Canada has a duty OF
h25 per cent against American horses,
LIS per cent on canned and dried
fruits, 10 per cent on clover and
timothy seed, rs per cent on sheep,
and so on. Canada has been an Inn
|portant market for all these Ameri-
can products in spite Of her duties,
land for potatoes and other yegeta-
|bles, as well a. eggs, poultry and
dairy products. Small AZ that cOun-
TRY Is in population, 1t 10 neverthe-
less, because of It's nearness and the
similarity Of its people TO ours, one
of the best markets in.the world for
American goods, purchasing. in spite
OF Its tariff, more goods from this
country than any other country in
the world has purchased except Eng
land and Germany.
Besides the removal Of articles
from the dutIable to the free list ths
agreement makes many reductions IN
duties on both sides. The duty on
iron ore is cut one-third and on lurn.
Der from a quarter on some grades
to three-quarters on others. on cut
'lery one-third, ON flour about SO
per cent, on agricultural implements
from a fifth to half. On fish and
on live stock products material re-
ductions are made.
The agreement. II ratified by Cam
ada, does not run for a specified per-
iod Of years but may be repealed by
either party at any time. The design
of the bill, as the above statement
of its principal provisions goes to
is to enlarge the commerce OF
the two countries with each other
and 1t is not correct, therefore, to
charge, as some of the opponents OF
the bill have done, that If 1t does not
reduce food products in price and
therefore fails to lower the cost OF
living, its object will entirely fail.
The main and almost sole objection
to the agreement has been that 1t
will lower the price Of farm pro-
ducts in this country, and principally
Of wheat and barley. This question
has been pretty thoroughly thrashed
out and the alarm Of some people
for the future of American wheat
has a good deal subsidized. If wheat
is seriously affected the repeal OF
the agreement is certain, but the
supporters Of reciprocity with Can
ada will be greatly disappointed If
It has any harmful effect on the
American wheat market.
