REPUBLICAN, FOR RECIPRO-
CITY


The republicans ia congress are
hopelessly divided upon President
Taft's reciprocity agreement with
Canada. A majority of the house
republicans voted against the
measure, but the democrats put
it through with a whoop. Repub-
lican senators are now cussing
and discussing the proposition.
Senator Cummins is one of a Sc
lect few who talks plain. In a
recent magazine article he says:
81 shall go much farther than to say
that when an agreement provided for
trade reciprocity with Canada is sign
ed I shall be glad. / shall express the
firm belief that between the United
States and Canada there should be
absolute FreeZTrade in all things. To
this 1 should make no exception. /
believe absolute Free-Trade with
Canada would be to our advantage,
helping us to solve some of the most
perplexing problems now besetting
us, especial4Ethose grown out of the
increase in the cost of living which
now falls havily upon the poor and
moderately prosperous. Absolute
Free-Trade with Canada would be q
simple proposition, entailing one
brief law, attainable by one conclu-,
sive argument"
This sounds mighty strange
coming from a republican. Evil
IDENTIFY times change conditions
and men change with them. What
is the republican party looming
too"

.REDEEMING PARTY PLEDGES

THE new Democratic Speaker
rs still making good. He knows
What the tariff from a democratic
standpoint means and has set
himself to the task of making
good. the party's pledges. Here
rs Speaker Clark's party creed:
There is nothing in the Democratic
wrOgram to alarm or scare any legit-
mate business in the United States.
No sane man within the confines Of
The republic would want to pass any,
laws that would injure any legiti-
Mate business, but no man who has
oEhe welfare of the republic at heart
Wants to collect an exorbitant tariff
Dn articles of general consumption by
IHhe Aemrican people.
aAt least 200, and possibly 300, of
2he Items in the Payne-Aldrich act
provides duties over 100 per cent. The
Democrats propose to eliminate these
abuses.
BY taking the various tariff laws,
beginning with the Morrill, act, pass
aed just after the war, we can deter
Mn1ne the minimum of duties that will
MDrodnce the revenues needed by the
government. We will first determine
amount of revenue is needed,
SS@hd then can decide on the duties
will bring in this amount.
The Democratic party is not playing
ROlitics. No steam roller is being used
a0R the Republicans. If that party is
responsive to the will Of the people.
vi do not see how the Republicans
aan consistently oppose the Democ-
watic program.
@Thereis no installing the posi-
zion Of Mr.. Speaker Clark and he
m1eanS business.
That the House will follow his
zeadership is shown in its prompt
passage of the Underwood reci-
prOcity measure and Immediate
ly following a favorable report
upon the farmers free list bill.
Champ Clark sticks mighty close
TO democratic principles, as he
sees them, and he is lpretty near
Y always right. The pronun-
Iamento he sets forth in the above
say be taken as the voice of the
majority in the House. Of course
4She success of the program el-

1t really begins to appear that
Gen. Hancock was correct in de-
<elaring the tariff to be a local is
%ne. Nothing seems so invit-
mig to controversy or SO open to
differences of viewpoints as the
tariff" says the Washington
Post, and it is right. But the
present Democratic House will
BoIve the question all right, so
dar as in its power the solution
lies. The Senate may balk but
the country will know the. reason
why the Democratic party does

zion, but a tariff for revenue.

"UNIONISM ONLY HOPE"
Working Masses Can't Get Justice
Otherwise, Says w. D. Haywood:

mo union has a right TO enter In
to an agreement with the capitalistic
class, for II an unholy alliance" said
William ID. Haywood. secretary of
the Western Federation of Mine
Workers, addressing a large audience
OF workingmen in Turner hall, Sun
day.
Employees ought to be in possession
OF mines and other industries for the
sake of the employees health IL for
nothing else, and I think the day Is
no. far distant when the question
will come to an issue. But confisca-
ton does not seem practicable. be-
cause the capitalist owns the police,
the secret service, the government,
the pulpit and the elections. Com
pansation would be just as difficult.
Organization OF the workingmen Is
the one hope of the masses.
Secretary Haywood, asked as to his
attitude OF the exclusion OF Asiatics,
replied that he was not opposed to
immigration as long as men came
here OF their own accord to better
themselves and did not come as con-
tract labor.
1T is their country as much as
ours" he observed.

LAW STUDENTS
NEEDN'T WORRY
Lee Bill, Providing fer State Bar
Exam, Will Not Effect Those
Already Registered.

students, graduated by the Detroit
College of Law, may laugh at the
proposal that they take the state bar
examination" said Jasper c. Gates,
one OF the mosi prominent members
OF the faculty, Monday, commenting
on the bill, introduced by Senator
James ii. Lee, requiring all candi-
dates for admission 10 the bar TO
take the examination, whether gradu-
ates OF law school or not. The bill
affects both the Detroit College of
Law and the University OF Michi-
gan.
Much alarm has been caused among
the student body here, by erroneous
stories about the bill, the students
fearing that II was framed so ms TO
place additional requirements upon
them.
Senator Lees bill is framed so as
TO exempt all students OF either the
University OF Michigan or the De-
troit College of Law registered at
the time that IL takes effect. II can
not possibly affect the students OF the
class of 1911, even IL amended, as
acts not emergency measures do not
take effect until 80 days after the
adjournment of the legislature.
I'm 20 years history as law
school. we have not had a graduate
fail at the state bar examination, I"
said Mr.. Gates. I'VE have had many
second-year students pass the examin-
ations, and many men who have been
'plucked' by the faculty have taken
the easier state examination route
TO the bar.
1T is doubtful IL this Is the right
way to improve the standard OF the
bar OF Michigan, though the faculty
of the Detroit College of Law always
stands ready to cooperate in any
move which has that end in view.
The end would be better accomplish
ed by raising the qualifications for
admission, or by making a four-year
course.
LAS for the mere matter of state
test of qualification, II the state
wishes to impose the trouble OF the
three-day examination, We will guar
antee that our graduates will he
