Washington, May Sl.-What was ex.
pected to be the last day OF the haer.
ings on the Canadian reciprocity bill by
the senate finance committee was fea-
tured today by the appearance of John
II. Fl. Allen and Whidden Graham Of
the firm of Allen & Graham of New
York, who are said to have been en-
ployed to manufacture sentiment
among the farmers Of the country in
opposition to the agreement.
1t was at the instance Of Senator
Long that they were summoned to up
epar before the committee to tell ex-
actly what part they have taken in
the propaganda of opposition to reel

INTERESTING FEATURE OF LAST

SHOWS PROF. BOYLE UP.

Washington, D. G., May 3l.-Repre.
sentative Helgesen todya laid before
the senate finance committee a telegram
from the Winnipeg grain exchange re-
futing the recent statement made by
Professor Boyle Of the University Of
North Dakota to the effect that the
Canadians had a law which prevented
the buying Of grain for future de-
livery. Boyle contended that this law
explained the cheaper grain prices in
Canada.

or Scotch,-in other words Saxon. That
is the source from which we derive so
many Of our short and vigorous words.
Boost is good word-too good to lose
its proper old-time meaning in its mod
ern revival of popularity. Let us re,
member that it means "to lift or push
from behind one who is endeavoring to
climb up'' That what the dictionary
says about its meaning. It doesn t say
that it means pulling down somebody
else who is climbing. 1t doesn' t mean
Dragging, or exaggeration, or lies, or
swindling or sharp practice of any
kind. 1t just means getting your
shoulder under person, or thing, or a
principle, and putting your strength
into raising that person or thing higher
in the world.
President Vincent Of the University
of Minnesota made a talk the other day
about boosting, and he said that "there
are three types of boosting. PRO
tective boosting describes the amiable
conspiracy by which people in dis
heartening plight hypnotic themselves
into faith that theirs is the happiest OF
lots. But for the fools paradise
which they thus create life would be
uncomfortable. Then there is 'deroga
tory boosting by which community
seeks the sense of lifting itself by de-
pressing its rivals. This illusion of up
ward movement deceives many who
blind themselves to facts. In the third
place there is constructive boosting.
which aims at accomplishment and sets
goal for achievement.
1t is, perhaps, little prescriptions
on our part to criticize the speech of a
university president, but ''derogatory
/ boosting strikes us as contradiction
of words There is no such thing as a
push upwards that pulls down, any mora
| than there is black white, and it is
certainly neither wise or moral for an
individual or an aggregation of indi.
viduals to seek to build themselves Il
by tearing down others.
The true booster is good citizen
and he boosts because God made hin
with a kindly soul that likes to lend g
helping hand to every good work. HI
boosts his city and his country by say
ing all the good things about it thai
are true. He does the same for hi:
,neighbor. his fellow citizen climbing NJ
the ladder of success he boosts instea,
of knocking. He is builder up instead
of tearer down. He realizes that tn
general prosperity means a share TO
him. He knows that he must also shar
in the general loss in the long run
Every good work in his community ha
his good word, even if he has no cash t
give it. In that way city and a stat
of boosters working together can &C
complish big things. We like the rea
booster. So does everyone else.

THE PRACTICE OF BOOSTING.

There is lot of talk about "boost-

to become ''booster, and "booster ,!
clubs are found in many municipalities
to boost the city. The word "boost'
is an old-fashionel one. In fact, its
origin appears lost in antiquity. Noah
Webster says that its origin is uncer.

ident at Council Bluffs. The special
train came into the state at Ham
burg and coursed up the Iowa side of
the Missouri river to the Bluffs. Not
more thar thousand people were at
the Illinois Central depot when the
president appeared at 7:15 o'clock.
1t was somewhat early to expect a big
crowd, because the president was only
billed for few minutes talk from
the platform of his car.
Enthusiasm seemed to grow as the
day wore along. The farther the
train went, the larger grew the
crowds along the line. At Logan,
Woodbine and Denison the people
were attentive and interested.
Rain which had been threatening
from the start Of the trip at Council
Bluffs interfered seriously for the
first time at Fort Dodge. Thereafter
until the train reached Waterloo, soon
after 3 o'clock, President Taft kept
up a running fight with the water
sprinkler. 1t seemed that the elc-
ments were against the president, for
the rain would cease between stations
and the minute the president ap-
peared outside, down would come the
water again. This occurred at five
or six stops.

The Presidents Public Utterances.

President .Taft's last public utter
ance in Iowa at Ottumwa was like
the first one at Council Bluffs. In
each city he discussed the tariff and
his yetoes. At Waterloo, President
Taft made the one important speech
Of his Iowa trip. His plea to the
people to assume more considerable
attitude toward railroads, and to
cease malicious prosecutions of big
business, arguing that panicy con
dition is developing in the country
that viii result seriously unless tha
people bring about change, was TIE
only "news" talk of his Iowa trin.
Twc-thirds OF his talks were on the
tariff question and defense Of his
vetoes of the bills. At times ha
changed his topic to the international
peace treaties and his policy for ar
bitration. Several of his shortest
talks were devoted to patriotic sub

sions relative TO the presidents talk,
and all OF these expressions have been
favorable. The people feel as if the
president had taken them into his con-
iidence and given them heart-to-
heart talk They feel that they un-
derstand him better. They also feel
that if these tariff bills were the botch-
lily prepared bills which the president
states them to have been, he did right
to veto them. They also feel that as

Taft made stop of fifteen minutes
at Bloomfield, the home of Governor
Carroll. The entire city of Bloomfield
returned the honor by awaiting the
train and giving the president a most
enthusiastic greeting.
At Moulton, Governor Carroll and
the Iowans in his escort gave the
president a farewell handshake and
left the train. Across the state few
minutes later the president was
steaming into Missouri, where he
spoke Saturday at the Missouri state
fair before turning to the far west.

 Permission from Mir. Palmer.
 J. Raymond Palmer, of whom the Stony brook reservoir land was se- cured, or is in the process of being se- cured, has given the board the privi- lege of going on to his home lot and clearing it of all contamination The barn and surrounding property will be thoroughly cleaned, so that there will be no danger from that source The basin will not be flowed deep enough to reach, the barn, however, for some time. but the rains might carry the contamination or it might leach through the ground to the brook. His land west of the road will not be flow ed and 1t is probable the water will not be over ten feet deep in the basin.

 Good progress is being made on the smaller dam, while the big one is practically completed. It will be neces- sary to do much work at the reservoir next spring before the contract is com pleted.
