New Billiard Room

Leon 'Tige' Ruedig of Miles
was in town this week and while
here made arrangements to open
a fine new billiard and pool room,
to be located in the basement of
the new Kinney block.
Mr.. Ruedig has had about
seven years experience at the
business, is an affable gentle
man, and will doubtless make
good here. He is manager of the
Butler pool room in Miles City,
which he has made a glittering
success. He expects to have the
local room going in about three
weeks.
Provided he is here this sum-

In looking at the reciprocity question from
an independent standpoint, we nave been com
peled to take into account the following facts:
FOR a number of years there has been gen
eral dlsaffectlon in the ranks of the Republ-
can and Democratic parties because of the
high tariff. The general election results dem
onstrate the peoples attitude, in that we now
have Democratic congress. In addition to
this disaffection, the high cost of living has
also been accredited to high tariff schedules,
President Taft, in order to modify con-
oltlons, proposes reciprocity measure that
Will IN some respects diminish, and in some
cases abolish the tariff schedules entirely He
realizes that the conflicting interests of the
country are of such magnitude, and SO di
verse in their demands, that there can be no
revision Of the tariff without it's operating
against some class Of industry. And to ex-
pect revision of the tariff on wholesale. or
sweeping scale, would be to precipitate a rev
outlonary measure upon the country, the re-
action Of which would mean the stagnation Of
trade
Inc interests are strenuously opposing
this measure, not SO much by direct antagon-
ISM, as by their methods of misrepresenta-
ton. They oppose it because they realize
that it is but the entering wedge of re-
vision that must ultimately reach them. Since,
then it would not be constructive policy
but revolutionary one to radically revise the
tariff on wholesale plan, it must be done bv
piecemeal, and the reciprocity agreement pro
poses to do this. A constructive statesman
ship would proceed, as President Taft has
done, to revise the tariff according to the

greatest good to the greatest number the
greatest number being the congested and
populous centers of our cities, they being the
direct benefciaries.
True, it has been objected that the west
ern farmer would be the chief martyr to be
offered up; that the introduction of Canadian
wheat would cheaper the market But we
must look farther ahead than that. The in
PRODUCTION of Canadian wheat would simply
mean that eventually the American farmer
would rapidly control the entire output of the
great northwest belt and that America, in
stead OF Liverpool, would fix it's selling price
and this is the sole reason why England op-
poses it.
We rather think that a reduction on farm
machinery as we'll as on farm produce would
have been more even shake, but the intro
duction of Canadian machinery, less the for
mer tariff schedules. will place than in open
competition with American manufactures.
which will operate the same as a reduction in
price. ultimately, on American achinerv.
We have no time here to discuss the many
t'anefits that may accrue to the farmer in
other directions, such as the upbuilding of a
greater milling industry in the west, etc,
that may result from this agreement.
The measure must certainly be one that
the people need, for the supporters of it are
the Democrats and Insurgent Republicans
whom the people returned to power in the
last election because of their tariff sentiment.
And yet this may be only partial compli-
ance with their demands, but a half a loaf
is better than none

The day previous, Washington s

was that a genuine fracas ensued.
in which J. Z. f. Parker. then

TO act as peacemakers, but at the
