NACEL TALKS ON
MANY QUESTIONS
RECIPROCITY, CONSERVATION
AND PRIMARIES, RECALL AND
REFERENDUM DISCUSSED
BY SECRETARY.

The exercises on the college campus
yesterday afternoon I'm connection
with the Michigan College of Mines
twenty-hfth anniversary celebration
attracted an immense crowd to the
big tent auditorium To listen TO the
addresses by Governor Osborn, Secre-
tary of Labor and Commerce Nagel
and J. Parke Claiming, the eminent
mining engineer. All of the speeches
were interesting but none OF them at
tractcd more attention or elected
greater discussion than did that OF
Secretary Nagel Mr.. Nagel disclaim-
ed any idea OF speaking for President
Taft, by whom he had been delegated
10 attend the reunion, but what ne
had TO say was his own personal con-
victions. Mr.. Nagel took view on
primaries. initiative recall ana refer
endum contrary to the popular one
and was inclined To deprecate the linn
ited scope OF his department, which
on account of the limited appropria-
ton allowed was practically helpless.
Secretary Nagel on arising To speak
was greeted WITH prolonged applause
which he on opening attributed to the
fact of his being President Tafts rep
resentative, and giving an idea Of
what the people of Houghton would
have given in the way of a welcome
TO the president himself had he been
here.
Reciprocity Helpful,
Secretary Nagel first spoke on reel
procity and expressed his sentiment
of gratitude for the aid given by the
people OF the copper country i'm bring
ing about an era of good feeling be-
tween Canada and the United States.
He said that upper Michigan was de-
pendent upon lower Michigan; Michi-
gan upon the other states; and i'm n
wider way the United States was de-
pendent upon other nations and states
Too much stress was laid, he said, up
on schedules, and their possible effect
The people of the country should not
look upon the possible effect Of this
Or that schedule, but regard the gen
cral effect upon the welfare of the
whole country. Too much is said now
ldays about the high cost of living, he
said, but this condition has been
brought about by the people them
selves, ana the remedy lies in their
hands. Too much dependence has been |
placed upon the principle of protec-
Ion. The people should learn to rely
ipon their own resources, to stand |
Ipon their own feet, to feel able to
lold their own in fair competition
With any people.
Some people take up and favor a
ause because II seems to be the popu-
ar side, said he. This is true i'm re-
alton to the direct primaries the re-
all and the referendum If every one
$ allowed to vote at the primaries for
very local officer this will give the
losses even a greater power than they
low possess. This is what the bosses
want.
