POINT WE'LL TAKEN.

Manchester Press: A progressive
friend points out one weak point in
President Taft's intention to veto
the pending tariff bills on the
ground that they largely nullify the
work of the tariff commission. That
weakness consists in his urgent de-
mand for approval of the reciproc-
ity treaty, which removes large
measure of protection from the pro-
duets of the farm. Our progressive
friend is unable to see why the pres
ident should be willing to forego
the protection afforded the farmer,
in advance of any report by the
tariff board, while holding up bills
reducing the duties on wool, cotton
and other products until the COM
mission can report. 1t appears to us
that the point of order is we'll TAX
en-, unless it be argued that the copa-
mission has not concerned itself
with the agricultural schedule or
that reciprocity was the result of
private negotiation and did not or
iginate with congress itself. viii

SENATE AND TREATIES.

Sioux City Journal: When the
Taft arbitration treaties come up
for consideration again next winter
the senators who are opposing rati-
fication will find it difficult to de-
fend their course. All of the OBJ
jections so far filed have melted
away in the light of information as
to what the treaties, provide. The
specific criticisms lodged against the
treaties are ID that they may force
the arbitration of such vital nation
al policies as the& Monroe doctrine
and immigration exclusion, ca that
they deprive the senate of portion
of it's constitutional rights in the
handling of treaties. AS to the frs.
objection, investigation discloses
that no matter what our govern
ment may be unwilling to arbitrate
can be forced to arbitration without
the concurrence of two of the three
American members of the joint COM

eligibility for arbitration must be
referred. 1T is unthinkable that two
of any three American commission
ers would ever consent to arbitrate
any vital national policy like the
Monroe doctrine. AS to the senate's
right to supervise arbitration trea-
ties it appears not to have been in
fringed in any degree. If a ques-
ton arises concerning the submits
sion of any dispute to arbitration
the senate gets two cracks at the
settlement of it. In the first place
the high commissioners to whom 1t
is to be referred are appointed by
the president, but the appointments
must be ratified by the senate. In
the second place. II decision to ar
bitrate Is reached specific arbitra-
ton agreement must be made. This
arbitration agreement does not be-
come effective until ratified by the
senate. With the senate consulted
as to the appointmen of the COM
missioners, and retaining veto as
to the final arbitration agreement,
1t is nothing short of absurd to con-
tend that the senate's constitutional
prerogative is in any way minimiz-

KENYON'S POSITION.

When the reciprocity agreement
with Canada was being discussed in
the senate, Senator Kenyon made a
brief address, stating his position in
concise terms and explaining why
he was against reciprocity at this
time. He said in part:
The Republican Party is commit
ted to the doctrine of a protective
tariff-a tariff which shall equal
the difference in the cost Of produc-
ton at home and abroad and no
more. 1t is not committed as par.
ty, in my Judgment, to the high dn-
ties as set forth in the wooden sched-
ule, the cotton schedule, or the steel
schedule of the Payne-Aldrich bill.
My great predecessor, Jonathan
P. Dolliver, in my humble judgment
one of the most brilliant statesmen
who ever sat in this body, gave the
best energy of his life, and, in my
opinion, practically life itself, in
the great fight he made for cheaper
clothing for the American people in
his attack on the high wooden du-
ties of the Payne-Aldrich bill, aud
went to his death fighting battle
for the people as much as any
hot all
AS to this schedule, it has been con-
coded in our party from the Presi-
dent down that the rates on WOODEN
goods were too high; that the wool
en- schedule was indefensible. Why,
then, should they not be lowered,
and why not now? Why should
further tribute be exacted from the
laborer and the farmer and all the
American people by these excessive
duties on the clothes they must
have? Ordinarily it would be wise
to wait a reasonable time for infor-
nation from the Tariff Board as u
the difference in cost of production
at home and abroad. 1t would seem,
however, that the Republican ma
jority in the Senate has light enough
on this subject to formulate bill
reducing the tariff on wooden goods
in conformity with the Republican
doctrine. Why is this not fully as
important as the reciprocity bill?
The farmer has stood by the Re-
publican Party and its tariff policy
Loyalty and with steadfastness, IN
storm and in sunshine. The returns
from the farm precincts after sup
per on election night have always
been consoling to the Republican
Party and enabled the Republican
candidate to enjoy a restful night.
The farmer is willing that the tariff
be revised along the lines of Repub-
lican policy, farm products as we'll
as manufactured products, but ne is
not agreeable to the propositicn
that the doctrine Of protection shall
not be of equal application; that 1t
shall apply only to the manufactu'-
er. He believes that il 1t is to ex-
list for the manufacturer. it should
also exist for the farmer. If he
tariff is to be taken of of what he
sells. he believes 1t should also be
taken off of what he buys. He be-:
lieves in an equitable application of
this doctrine or no application at
all
The farmer is entitled to exactly
the same consideration as the mahu-
facturer, and the manufacturer the
same as the farmer. Neither mas

which any State can boast-a citi-

agreement. tt does not involve any

State, it is my duty, as l see it, to

PANTON.

A sad accident occurred here Monday
night of last week which has saddened
the whole community. Verna Patten,
nine years old, went home from school
with Bessie Stage and the two went to
the barn to play. In some way they up.
set hay rigging which was leaning
against the bay and it slipped to the
floor, pinning both girls under it. The
screams of Bessie soon brought her
father and brother to the scene. Upon
raising the rigging from the children,
Bessie was found to be unhurt, but Verna
was unconscious. Her father and
mother, also Dr. Waterman were sum
moned but she lived only short time,
expiring while being carried to the
house. Upon examination it was found
that her neck was broken, also a hip.
Nerna was a bright, pretty girl and will
be greatly missed in the home and
school and by all who knew her. She
leaves mother and step father, Mr.. and
Mrs. Wesley Jackman, and a sister and
brother, Ruth and Merrill Patten, beside
other relatives. The funeral was held
Thursday morning and was largely at
tended, Rev. w. II. Hudson officiating

and beautiful among which was a
bouquet of pink and white carnations
from the school, also flowers from both
churches and other friends. The school
children with their teacher, Mary Adams
attended in body and formed an aisle
through which the bearers, four uncles,
carried the little white, flower covered
casket. Burial was in the cemetery at
Vergennes. The family have the SYM
patty of the entire community in their
sad affection.
