the contest was the strong fight put
up by c.. A. Bugge, our pioneer mer-

DfV|NfIAND CANA
DIAN RECIPROCITY
(eentinuod from lot paSo)
(eont1nued from lot paSo)

In this agreement, the Agricultural
states give everything, and get moth
ing in return. 1t opens up two coun-
tries whose surplus product are
Identical and the same. Under such
an arrangement it can't and never
will be reciprocity, but 1t will b in
tense and disastrous competition; It
will be agricultural war. with Canada
having all the Weapons.
This, therefore, is the dangerous
problem which confronts North d.
kota, is now hammering at our door,
and if opened, the results will be dis
astrous.

believe, in the efficacy and glory of
the American home market. BY tina,
market, the nation has grown great;
the laborer has found ready and prof
liable employment; the farmer a
ready and growing market for the
products Of his toll. For more than
twenty years the farmer has had
protection that never protected, and
yet in exchange for that will T the
wisp' our representative in congress
under duress have given their vote
to the selfish greed of the manufac-
turing sections of the east, and now
at the very moment when that pro-
lection might become a thing of real
value becaUs e of the menace of a new
rapidly, developing Agricultural Can
ada, we are to sit calmly and silently
and see that real protection eliminat-
ed with the binding swftness of en-
chantment. We are to see a market
OF 90,000,00O of people traded for a
market of s7000,00O people. This
treaty gives market in the United
States to the Agricultural products Of
Canada and retains the consuming
market for the manufactured prod
ucts of Great Britain.
1t gives the farmers of Canada an
outlet in this country for what she
has to sell, and denies the farmers Of
this country market in Canada for
what she has to buy.

We should mover forget the import

citizens OF our own country against

unduly Influenced by the sentimental
talk about "a kindred people" Ger
tainly, study Of this agreement will
show that the Canadians have no
such kindly feelings.
II the agreement meant cheaper
food to the whole people there would
be some justification since all are
consumers, even though North Da-
kota farmers must suffer for the gen.
eral good. This agreement, however,
puts the farmers products in free
competition with like products from
Canada-free until they get into the
hands of monopoly, then it is free
no longer. Cattle are free until they
reach the packers trust then the
duty goes on. Wheat is free until it
reaches the hands Of the millers
trust, then friendship ceases. Bar
ley is free until it reaches the brew
cries of Wisconsin, but beer won't be
freely jug full.
When the miller buys his grain
from Canada he will pay no tribute
to the American farmer as now.
Therefore, he will buy cheaper, but
! that wheat when manufactured into
breakfast food will retail as now at
SS per bushel. Wheat comes in free
and that's very nice, but the break
fast food is protected b. duty Of

The friends of this treaty argue,
abolish the protection for the sake OF
cheaper bread. You cannot have high
priced wheat and cheap bread, but you
can have and we will have under this
treaty cheap wheat and high priced
bread-why? Because supply fixes
the price of wheat and monopoly tx
es the price of bread. The American
consumer will not buy his bread, poul

HAVE NOT ENOUGH TO DO
People Like the Inhabitants of Pit

While most people are sorry for
those who have too much to do, for
my part l reserve my sympathy for
those who have too little to do. They
seem to me to have scarcely fair
chance in the world. Their natures
are not properly taxed and tested,
trained and developed. They are sure
not to grow up to be among those who
are great, wise, good and famous in
the world. Now they are glad that
they are free from the ordinary cares
and activities of life. In the future
they will be sorry. Indeed, 1t may
help to kill them.

HITS MODERN WOMAN
SHE DOESN'T KNOW MEANING
OF ROMANTIC LOVE.
So Asserts Alexander Harvey, Who
Says He Almost Thinks the Wom-
en- of Today Have All Como
Crazy.

How will the modern woman move
ment affect romantic love:
Alexander Harvey, editor ami au-
thor, answers the question by declar-
Ing the woman who walks forward
treads upon divine law and the heart
of man in her progress. He said:
The modern woman movement is
really the new immortality.
True love does not come between
man and woman until after mar
riage and the birth of child.
Women never have understood and
never will understand the laws of
either love or morality.
"The theory of conscious eugenics,
which is one of the bylaws of the
modern woman movement, is the SUI
preme obscenity of today"
Just what do you mean In your
characterization of the modern woman
movement" | asked.
Just what does the modern woman
mean by the movement" queried Mr..
Harvey in turn. Sometimes / think
the woman of today have all gone
crazy. When you ask them what they
want when they cry for personal
equality and the vote, they do not
know themselves.
But will tell you what they want.
I will tell you at what the modern
woman movement is aimed 1t is
aimed at the sacredness of the mar
riage relation. 1t upholds divorce, and
that supreme obscenity of the present
day which women call conscious eu-
genics. Women have never under
stood true morality, and they never
will. The divine laws were made by
God, the father and the man, for men.
And when you say a woman cannot
understand morality, 1t follows logical
ly that she cannot understand love.
"The old-fashioned woman. the
womanly woman, whose heart and
brain were nodded by the man she
loved, was at least source of COM
fort to her husband. He did grow to
love her. But let me assure you that
the modern woman, with her talk
of mental and economic equality, will
never learn the real meaning OF ro-

Several weeks ago Bro. Pomeroy
of the Maumee Advance-Era publish
ed a sad and mournful plant in his
paper in which he asked for assist
ance to find certain Perrysburg
rooster that was in the habit of wax
ing up at 2 a. m. and sounding an
alarm which started all the ROSTERS
in Maumee in a mad endeavor to
murder sleep for brother Pomeroy.
Evidently Pomeroy wanted to do
something develish to that rooster.
For four weeks past we have had
out special watchman who has sue
ceeded in locating the offending bird,
and if Brother Pomeroy will meet
us at the Perrysburg end of the
bridge at 1877 a. m. next week, we
will lead him to the place where he
can take revenge (and a fine rooster)
and end all this sleep destroying
trouble.
