So VOTES FOR
RECIPROCITY
Latest Estimate Of Strength Of
Bill
In UNITED STATES SENATE
If VotS Can Be acknowledgements
Working Hard to Prevent One
The President Insistent for
One.
In UNITED STATES SENATE

Washington, May 20-Reports that
the opponents of reciprocity are plan
ming to prevent vote on the measure II
| the Senate has caused a stir In that
body and aroused the attention OF mem
bers OF Congress at both ends Of the
capitol who are for reciprocity.
1t has been plain for several days
that the opponents Of the Canadian
agreement are dragging out the hearing
before the Senate finance committee, and
this has given rise to the impression in
some quarters that the measure ID beat
EN-. II is in no sense beaten however,
according to leading senator's Even
among senators who are against the
agreement, 1t is declared that ii will
be impossible to prevent vote much
as some would like to accomplish this.
But that there will be long discus
sion and many attempts to thwart the
bill is expected,
The latest polls Of the Senate show
that reciprocity will probably get fifty
three votes if vote can be had This
in slightly greater strength than was
credited to the measure short time
ago.
President Taft is insistent on a vote
and some of the opponents of the bill
who are friendly to him will help to
bring one about though they win not
vote for the measure.
Gov. Osborn Of Michigan called at
the White House the other day and had
some encouraging things to say to the
president about reciprocity also about
the sentiment in Michigan for Taft's re-
nomination. The governor said he was
progressive, but added:
q am the kind of progressive that
wishes to stay on the track
Governor Osborn declared Michigan
was for reciprocity He cited the fact
that poll of the country newspapers
showed 81 per cent. for il, and that the
students of the Michigan Agricultural
college voted 2 to | for it.
President Milton McRae Of the De-
troit board of commerce headed dele
cation from Detroit that urged the rati-
fication of the agreement.

ROOT WOULD AMEND.
Wants Wood Pulp and Paper Free from
All Provinces.

Washington, May 90. Claiming that
the essence of the proposed CONNER
cial act between this country and
Canada is reciprocity, Senator Root
has suggested before the Senate
House bill which would prevent wood
pulp and paper coming into this country
free until it is free from all the
provinces of Canada.
He argued that such an amendment
would not prevent the agreement as a
whole from becoming effective, On
the other hand, John Norris of New
York, representing the American News
paper Publishers association declared
that adoption of the proposed amend
ment would be fatal to the agreement.
Senator RoRot claims that the recip-
rocal bill contains no provision what
ever by way on condition or otherwise
for the free admission of paper and
wood pulp into Canada His amend
ment would add to the wood pulp and
paper provision the stipulation that
Canada may have the right to import
these articles free only "when the pres
ident of the United States shall have
satisfactory evidence and shall make
promise that such admission of wood
pulp, paper and boards, being the prod
uct of the United States are admitted
into Canada free of duty"
Senator Lodge contended that as the
bill stands the action of one province
in imposing restrictions would not pre-
vent all the rest of Canada from ex-
porting to this country free paper and
wood pulp but would not allow the
United States to export these articles
INTO any part of Canada He said that
we could not deal with Canada by prov
ince any more than Canada could deal
with the states in this country.
The committee will consider the
amendment in executive session
James d, Boyle, instructor in econ
omic and political economy in the I'M
versity Of North Dakota and Milton
AlcRae president Of the Detroit board
Of commerce, spoke in favor of the bill.

ON QUESTIONS OF HONOR.
United States Should Not Bind Itself
to Submit to Arbitration.

New York, May 20-Ex- President
Roosevelt has an article on "The Ar
bitration Treaty with Great Britain"
in The Outlook He says in parts
Between Great Britain and the
United States it is now safe to have
universal arbitration treaty, because
the experience Of 90 years has shown
that the two nations have achieved
that point of civilization where each
can be trusted not to do the other any
one of the offenses which ought to
preclude any self-respecting nation
from appealing to arbitration. But no
language should be used in the treaty
which would tend to obscure this
cardinal fact, this cardinal reason
why the treaty is possible and desir-
able.
Among private individuals the
man who, if his wife is assaulted and
her face slapped, will 60 to law
about it, instead of forthwith punish-
ing the offender, would be regarded
with derision In just the same way
the United States ought never speci-
flcally to bind itself to arbtrate ques-
tions respecting its honor, independence
and integrity
Either it should be tcitly under
stood that the contracting powers no
more agree to surrender their rights
on such vital matters than man in
civil life agrees to surrender their
right Of self-defense; or else it should /

fact that it il now impossible for F.,

ing the honor, independence and integ
rity of the other. We are willing to !

HAMLIN ATTACKS
SECRET FUND USES.
Might Be "Haven of Official
Piracy" He Says.

Additional charges of the juggling Of
funds by the State Department authori-
ties were made on the floor of the House
yesterday by Representative Hamlin, the
Missouri Democrat, who unearthed the
Day portrait scandal that attracted so
much attention during the special session
of Congress. Mr.. Hamlin charged that
the secret fund" authorized for use in
the State Department, might be made
the very haven of official piracy under
the construction placed by the President
and Secretary of State on the statute
providing the fund.
Mr.. Hamlin secured the floor on ques-
ton of personal privilege. TT may be
interesting as well as astonishing for the
House to know" he said, that during
the last six fiscal years the State De
partment has used money from many
funds in addition to the emergency fund
and they declined to tell how the money
was expended. but settled with the
Treasury by a blanket certificate OF
secrecy"
During the last six years, he declared,
the department had expended secretly
$T32, ,9S1.52. or an average of Sl22, 1855 a
year. The emergency fund appropriation
is only $4,000 a year. The chairman
urged that the items accounted for secret
ly to the Treasury should be communi-
Gated to Congress to a committee of the
House and Senate, which would hold
them secret. He has introduced bill
for such committee.
