INTeRPReTS THE HANDWRITING.

| Without commencing or commenting
upon the action of Senator Cummins We
must say he deserves credit for his de-
i termination to force the stern demo-
! cratic senator's and the eastern republl-
can senators TO recognize what ne pc
l!eves the west wants in the way OF
amendments to the Canadian recipro-
city agreement,-Ninton Eagle.
| In the above paragraph the Vinton
Eagle editor interprets the motive and
purpose of Senator Cumnlins in his
work in the senate during the discus
sion OF the reciprocity measure In
the discussion OF this subject turnout
the country more emphasis has been
placed on the principle involved than
on the specific measure under con-
sideration. The principle is sound and
any reasonably equitable agreement pro-
yiding closer trade relations between
the TWO countries VIII be helpful il the
long run to the United States.
Ii was up 10 congress TO consider the
specific measure submitted by the ne
gotiators representing the Two coun-
ScldlOE I uIllIlllllS ltlSISlSu lt4d =
the agreement was unfair TO Iowa and
the west in general. Senator Cunlnlins
has not con-ended that the tariff on
agricultural produce is essential or that
its removal would be harmful. He has
insisted only that in surrendering these
duties we should ge, some thing in re-
liEaUiSa insisted that
among the duties no longer needed Tor
protective purposes should be included
those on the products OF steel. cotton
and WOODEN mills and OF the products
o. the packing plants in the country
He has insisted, N brief. that the time
for the agricultural interests Of the
country TO secure concessions is when
they still have something to offer il
exchange.
1t is perfectly clear to those who
nave Investigated the subject that IN
the negotiation OF the terms OF the
agreement the manufacturing interests
have surrendered very little. In other
words. the rails taken Off their pro-
Jecriye fence will not compel them to
sell cheaper to home consumers than
heretofore Cummins has, in fact.
sought to get a better deal for Iowa.
and, incidentally. for the whole west
than the origina! agreement provided.
And when it is recalled that in the
formulation OF the Adrich tariff about
the only sacrifice made was on hides,
almost wholly a product OF the west, it
will be readily discerned that there is
ample reason why Cummins should
contend strenuouslv for some substan-
tial concessions TO the ives. in this recL
procity agreement.
The editor of the Eagle. Bernard
Murphy, Is opposed to Cummins be-
cause he is believer in a high tariff
while Cummins Is believer in a
low tariff But Murphy can see the
merit in the contention Of Cummins
for a square deal for Iowa. Incident
ally, It ought not 10 be difficult for
those who favored the agreement as it
passed TO see that the fight Cummins
made was based on subs tantial foun-
dation

TAKING A CHANCE WITH NIAGARA.

A fellow. no matter what his name
is, doesn't matter anyway, Went over
Niagara Falls the other day in a steel
barrel which had been constructed for
the purpose, and came out alive but
terribly bruised He is probably on
view in some dime museum some
where. as the only man who Went over
Niagara in a steel barrel and came out
alive.
There are a considerable number Of
people going over Niagara and taking
their chance The fellow who is
neglecting his business and BOOKING at
the club is on the way over Niagara
He may come out alive but he will be
terribly bruised. Most Of them don't
come out alive. Now and then one does
but see the bruises on him. He is
curiosity and ought to be in a museum
as rare specimen. Nobody wants to
see the others. They are hauled away
out Of sight too bruised and mangled

sought ard seen.
The man who is running after 9TH

thinks he is going the pace" being
dead game one and all the rest Of
the rot with which fools gloze their
idiocy He doesn't realize that the
nan before whom he does his braggart
talk and exposes his character despise
him and that even the women who re-
ceive his attentions and batten on his
bank account, sheer behind his back.
He thinks he is actually leading the
gay life" Once in while such a fellow
gets over the falls alive But he bears
the bruises and the unclean scars Of
his passage all his life. There are ul-
GERS on his future. The others go down
with the pressure of the falls and later
drift unclean and derelict into the
stagnant eddies Of life to lie and rot
among its Shiny fotsam. Mighty few
get over this fall alive and they are
terribly bruised.

up little poker, takes the rounds with

North Dakota was one OF the first If

ment for persons using obscene or i'm

Just enacted such a law.

vides that any circuit Judge in the

proved to have been guilty Of using

language to the operator.
The exchange girl has long been sub

powerless, but hereafter In good old
Missouri she will have the support OF
an excellent and useful statute. In
that state it will be no safer to use
rude language to a lady over the wire
than it would be to use such language
to her on the street.

CAN NOT sHUNT TAFT.


The matter which Mr.. Cumrnins has
submitted in rhe Marsha1ltnwn letter
has to do with the campaign of next
spring. He announces that he and his
friends will make fight in Iowa
against the Endorsement OF reciprocity,
but without regard to the fortune OF
Mr.. Taft. They will omit the presi-
dent but make their fight on recipro-
city seeking to have the state conven-
ton sustain the delegat ton in congress
in their attitude on reciprocity. The
members in the house with the excep-
ton Of Congressman Hubbard. have
voted against reciprocity and the two
senators will vote the same way.
But we do not believe that Taft can
be shunted. Senator Kenyon has al
ready announced that he will be
against reciprocity but for Taft. AS a
basis for the fight on the conven-
ton. the whole Iowa delegation will
have to define itself on Taft. There
are many who refuse to act on recipro-
city unless they know at the same time
what they intend to do with Taft as
presidential candidate. The senator
will find that that position will have to
be defined.
We are inclined to think that the
delegation can win the Endorsement OF
