TAFrs BROAD POLICY.

II is an error to assert that reci-
procity with Canada would give the
manufacturer OF the United states
protection while Withdrawing it from
the farmers. Practically there are
no manufacturers in Canada to come
into competition with those of the
United States.
Instead Of menacing the farmers. re-
ciprocity will help them, by charging
their home understanding a nearby
demand which will absorb pershable
products that now in many instances
go TO waste; so that even while the
cost Of living is lower to the consum-
ers, the farmers's income will be in
creased at the same time that he is
getting the benefit of cheaper lumber.
President Taft, i'm his speech at
Columbus, Ohio, ventured this predic-
ton:
Let the agreement be adopted and
go into operation and I'm six months
the farmers on the border who now
have fears viii rejoice I'm this great
step toward closer business and social
relations with our neighbors. The
whole country farmer, manufacturer
railroad company. middle man ware
house man-will all be gamers. ,

THE MONTHS.

January brings the snow.
Makes our feet and fingers glow;
February brings the rain,
Thaws the frozen lakes again;
March brings breezes loud and shrill.
Stirs the dancig daffodill;
April brings the primrose sweet,
Scattered daisies at our feet;
May brings hocks of pretty lambs,
Skipping by their neecy dams;
June brings tulips, lilies, roses,
Fills the children's hand with pos
les;
Hot July brings cooling showers,
Apricots and gilliflowers;
August brings the sheaves of corn,
Then the harvest home is born;
Warm September brings the fruit
Sportsmen then begin to shoot;
Fresh October brings the pheasant
Then To gather nuts is pleasant.
Dull November brings the blast
Then the leaves are whirling fast:
Chill December brings the sleet
Blazing fires and Christmas treat.

THAT FRISCO POEM.

fSan Francisco has notified the Ma
tional Association of Poetry Workers
and Rivetters that il is in the market
for their material. Designs and sam
pies must accompany estimates, and
freight be prepaid
$50, Frisco wants a poem. you say;
Why stranger, you make me smile;
Seems since the earthquake toppled
her,
Frisco's put on lots OF style.
There's towns on the coast I've lived
in,
That isn't half her size,
Yet. for grit an determination,
They sure deserve a prize
But, if to write 'em up a verse
Some long haired poet tried,
They'd put "A sign on his grave like
this:
He lived too long-he died."

THE BATTLE HALF WON.

AS predicted. the Mccall recipro-
city bill passed the House. the vote
taken last night being 221 for and 80
against. The majority Of the Repub-
lican members present voted against
the measure. so the friends of the bill
must thank the Democrats for the
successful outcome Of the fight. \ to-
tai Of 148 Democrats voted for the
agreement and only five against it,.
Sentiment generally is i'm favor of the
pact Favorable resolutions have been
passed in all sections Of the country,
letters have poured in upon the pres
ident praising him for his determine
ton to see the bill through. and most
Of the newspapers i'm the country are
supporting il. The measure will now
go to the Senate, but what its fate
will be in that body is problematical
at present President Taft believes
that If a flibuster can be avoided and
a vote taken, tho bill will pass. He
wants action and If he doesn't get IL
will call an extra session of Congress
after March 4. If the Senate acts i'm
accordance with the wishes of the
people it will ratify the action taken
by the House.

Champ Clark has been getting lot
OF good advertising out of his support
of the reciprocity agreement, and he
looms up larger than ever now as a
presidential possibility. He is being
freely mentioned as the likely leader
Of the Democracy in the next cam
paign, but apparently Champ isn't
taking this talk seriously and lying
awake nights worrying about his
chances. He made his position clear
in regard to this situation, yesterday,
when he said I'm not running for
president I'm not counting insomnia
or sitting up nights, Fostering my
head about Clarks delegates TO the
Democratic convention. But J am not
fool enough to run away from a nom
ination that has not been offered to
me In the meantime it's sort Of
pleasant to have the newspapers refer
to you in that connection"

Congressman Young voted for the
reciprocity bill The people Of his
district will be pleased to- hear this.
Awhile ago it was stated that Mr..
Young had not pade up his mind
whether he would support the bill or
not. He was described as being in a
waiting mood E-i'snty 80 l-g-E
hearing from the upper peninsula af-
ter that. and came to the conclusion
that the L. p favors the measure. In
his final analysis Of the situation we
believe Mr.. Young did not make any
mistake, and that he voted right The
L. p. seems quite confident that the
Mccall bill. if it passes the senate
and becomes law, will benefit the pco-
pie Of this district, generally. It's ad-
vantages greatly outweigh its disad-
vantages.

We are pleased TO learn that the
county authorities have decided to
continues the campaign against wife
deserters. Good work has been done
TO date, but much remains to be done.
Yesterday a list Of thirty-four men
who have deserted their wives, was
handed TO Sheriff Byers and the sher-
in viii get busy at once rounding
them up. For years the county has
been contributing to the support Of
deserted wives and children. and a
halt has been called none too soon
stern measures will serve TO lessen
this sort of crime which is now the
most common in the copper country
Leniency in the past has encouraged
and greatly increased this class Of
law violation. and it has cost the
county a lot Of money. There is much
promise now that this state Of affairs
will change for the better.
