Canadian Reciprocity.

The politicians at Washington are
decidedly up in the air. President
Taft, after apparently being led about
by a halter by some of the old time
politicians, has really taken the bit
in his teeth, and they find he is real
live wire. The cause of this cOmmo-
ton is that he has recently had pre-
pared reciprocity talitf measure
identical with measure endorsed by
the Canadian statesmen, which under
this provisions would allow agricnlt-
ural products of all kinds to pass
untaxed over the imaginary boundary
line, between the United States and
Canada. The theory of the law re-
quired by President Taft is correct,
but the practical workings, however,
may not be SO easily demonstrated.
The feature that is open to criticism
is the fact that farmers products are
entirely free, all tariff to be taken off,
every thing produced by trainers on
either side passes without tariff. This
looks too much like jug handle pro-
position where the farmers as usual
gets the worse of it in business deal.
This naturally has aroused the farmer
to considerable protest. The wheat
farmer thinks the admission of Can
adam wheat may reduce the price OF
his grain. The day is soon coming
when the United States will consume
all it's wheat, then we will welcome
Canadian wheat. The price, however,
of wheat is fixed in the markets
Of Liverpool and Hamburg. The
poultryman is apt to think that to
remove the tariff on eggs will lower
the price on his product. At the
present time, the tariff on eggs only
gives the middlemen whatever benefit
there is in the tariff. Certainly the
American poultry producer gets no
benefit from it.
Many of the state oranges are already
loud in their protest against the pas
sage of this law, and as we understand
the proposed law. they have a right
to complain. There should be some
changes made before it is passed, and
a further understanding of its provl-
sions.

ValedictOry.

After this issue I expect to re-
tire from the Charlton Courier,
and to transfer the paper to E.
B. Kellogg this friday morning,
May 20, 1911, in fulhllment Of q
contract signed by him and the
undersigned on the 23d instant.
This transfer will be made for
two reasons: l. The recurrence
is feared OF q state Of health that
in 1901 made me an almost help
less invalid for two years; and, 2,
my financial condition would not
permit me to successfully con-
tinue the Courier in case Of such
recurrence.
| never felt deeper regret than
this morning, for it would afford
great pleasure to work with and
for the people OF Charlton county.
In the few months since To-
eating here, new, magnanimousr
noble-hearted Missouri friends
have been found far beyond
anticipations. Happy remem'
brance OF them will ever lingeI
with regret II in the near future
it shall be decided to go else
where to engage inlighter employ
ment than the responsibilities anC
work Of conducting the good ole
Charlton Courier, the favorit'
paper for two-score years in many
homes and in hundreds Of other
for n shorter time. May tn,
paper be in future, as il has beer
in the past, an instrument for the
betterment and protection OF the
people against any evil that may
threaten, and may God bles'
every reader, enable all to see
the Right and TO take that sid'
Of every important question tha'
may arise.

A Fighting Snake.

A. Dooley had an exciting dine
with a black cow-snake eight feet
long last week. He saw IL COM
ing toward him, and started away
from il to find q club. II kept
coming, increasing its speed until
he crossed n fence and secured
an excellent weapon Of defense.
For some time it disappeared and
Mr.. Dooley began to think It had
escaped, when he saw its head
stuck up out OF a ditch with eyes
staring at him. He started for
il, when il crawled through
the fence and showed fight.
This was what he expected and
desired. Gripping his bludgeon
he then started 10 meet the snake
and with q powerful and well
directed blow broke its back. 4
was then only q question Of more
blows, which were administered,
and the belligeent snake was
killed ahd measured. Mr.. Dooley
has never seen q larger Charlton
county snake and does not care
to see any more inclined 10 hght
as this one was.

In Memoriam.

James Sidney Carmon was
born on January S, 1884, on q
farm near Keytesville and was
the son Of Marshall r. and Kate
A. Carmon. On May 81, 1911,
he suceumbcd 10 that dread dis
ease, consumption. Tuesday,
May %. q funeral service was
held at the family residence and
was conducted by the Rev. J. A.
snar. At the close OF the ser
vice, q large number Of sympa-
timing friends accompanied the
remains 10 the city cemetery,
where, after q brief service, the
body was left by the side Of his
loved ones who had gone before.
Only those who have suffered
like Affections can sympathiBe
from down deep in the heart
with those who are left 10 mourn
the loss Of q devoted son and
brother.
In the death Of Mr. Cannon
this community has lost a, young
man Of sterling character whose
every day life was an inspiration
10 his many acquaintance, and
the church Of which he was a
member has suffered the loss Of n
faithful Christian worker.
The writer Of this brief sketch
visited with Mr. Carmon about
three hous before his death and
Il was noticeable that the damp
and cloudy weather was adding
to bis bodily suffering and he
remarked: II hope the sun will
shine brightly tomorrow" His
was n life Of hope and Of faith,
and while none thought Of the
sad change so near, He who doeth
all things well, said "It senough, /"
and ere the dawn Of the morrow
Sidney had answered the call and
for him the light Of Gods un-
fathomablc love vas shining In
all IL glorious splendor IN "The
Home Over There"
To the grief stricken mother
and sisters We extend our deepest
sympathy and trust that ths

Gifts For Children.

The Joy of welcoming a new baby
into the family often finds expression
in deluging the newcomer with offer
ings and tokens. No gift can be too
great and costly for baby.
Proud grandparents and doting aunts
and fond uncles and sympathetic
friends all wish to attest their inter
est in some tangible way. and what
TO give" baby continues to be a source
Of anxiety throughout its career. 1t
seems almost a crime to think Of the
large amounts expended upon toys
whose usefulness are over in day.
Why does not some one think of the
future and give things that are really
worth while and which viii give real
pleasure later on? Think of the Joy
Of possessing a good library when one
is old enough to fully appreciate it,
Some girls possess strings Of well
matched pearls whose beginnings were
formed when they were tiny tots and
who received one at a time as birthday
gifts. Sets Of silver forks and spoons
have also been gathered together in
this way. and pictures which have
some true artistic value. IL is true
that all these things are of but scant
interest to the very young boy or girl,
but as they grow older their interest
"a awakened. and a real appreciation
for possessing beautiful things is found
to be a great delight.
