GIVES TALK ON CANADA
President creesan Says Canadian
Farmers are Opposed to Reel
proeity Agreement.


President Creegan of Fargo College,
who has just recently returned from
an extended trip to Canada. gave a
very interesting talk on the educa-
tionaL economical, agricultural and
political condition Of our next door
neig1bor. During the course Of his
remarks, he expressed his opinion in
regard to reciprocity.
After giving the students a very
vivid picture Of the remarkable growth
OF Canada, and comparing the cities
on both sides of the line. he told what
the people over there think about re-
eiprocity. THE farmers over there,
the press, and practically the entire
population" said Mr.. Creegan, "are
fighting reciprocity for all they are
worth.
"The farmers seem to think every
thing is going to the bow-wows, IL the
reciprocity bill goes through"
President Creegan doubted IL reci-
procity is exactly wise move, when
the large body of the farming popula-
ton on both sides Of the line are SO
strongly opposed to the bill. In his
opinion, the farmers have good grounds
for complaint, not until the big trusts
are willing to play fair, will the farm
ers favor such a move. DR.. Creegan
spoke Of President McKinley's attitude
on the question, who in his last speech
said we should get closer and more
friendly relations with the kinfolk
across the border"
AS for the fear the Canadians ex-
press that the United States is play
ing a game to ultimately annex the
dominion, Or. Creegan said there was
absolutely no grounds for the belief
outside of politics. Most people," he
said, "feel as if we have enough to
take care Of without the country to the
north"
DIR. Creegan, in conclusion. said his
reason for bringing this before the
students was to get them to thinking
J on this big question which is so vital
to the country.
Talked at High School.
Nothing is more pleasing to the stu
dents of the Fargo high school than
to hear President Creegan of the
Fargo college talk.
During the chapel period this morn
ing DR.. Creegan gave an exceedingly

He first mentioned the necessity OF
a strong physical body, and the oppor-
: tunities for physical culture and ath-
, letics in our schools of today. He said
all habits which tend to pull dowr

MIR. Creegan then said: "But why

You are to develop that necessity pri-
marily." He then referred to the pic
lures of Washington, Mckinley and
others, and asked why do we not sec

Mr.. CHEV|S SAYS RANSDEuL
VOTED WITH CANNON
A Caustic Reply to Dr.. Mayer From Senator Fosters
Campaign Manager.

New Orleans, La, Aug. %, 1911.
To the Editor of The st. Landry
Clarion.
My friend, DR.. Mayer, &C.
cupies a great deal of space in
your excellent journal in the ef-
fort to divert public attention
from the indictment I lodged
against him. I did not undertake
to enter at length into a discus
sion of Senator Fosters tariff re-
cord, for the very good reason
that the senator is abundantly
able to take care of himself; a
fact which my friend will doubt
less have occasion to discover be-
fore this campaign shall have
come to a close.
Therefore his several columns
of words are entirely beside the
question, in so far as my criticism
Of his address is concerned.
The crux Of the whole contro-
versy is, that DR.. Mayer bitterly
assails Senator Foster, urging as
his reason the Senator's votes on
the tariff. Now, he has aperfect
right to do that and he would be
beyond reach of criticism in do
ing so, were it not for two facts
in his political experience to-Wit:
he has supported, without pro-
test at the time, men who went
much further than Senator FOs-
ter went on the tariff question:
and, second:-he is now actively
supporting Mr.. Ransdell, who
violated his pledge to the voters
of the Fifth District and voted
with Speaker Cannon, not once
but repeatedly, against a speci-
fc pledge Of the Democratic plat
form.

Chataignier.

Chataignier, La, Aug. 21.-It
has been raining here since two
weeks every day and the farm
ers are having a bad time in cut
ting and threshing their rice,
especially since the wind of a
week ago blew the rice to the
ground. It is considered that Il
of the crop will be wasted.
The cotton hollis are rotting
and the boil Weevils and cater
pillars are doing much damage,
and while the crop is considered
better than last year the crop
will not be near so large as ex-
pected.

That probably is what DR..
Mayer characterizes as an oc-
cassional lapse from virtue" but
the thoughtful citizen will not
consider such deliberate and re-
peated lapses as lightly as DR..
Mayer seems to do.
DR.. Mayors bitter attack up
on Senator Foster, who as gov
ernor complimented him by ap-
pointing him to a position of
emolument and dignity-the first
political appointment he ever
held-is prefaced by a special
disclaimer of intention to reflect
upon any other senator or con-
gresham who voted as Foster
did: thereby affording ''confir-
nation strong as proofs of Holy
Writ" of the insincerity of his
attack.
A wise maxim of the law de-
mands clean hands Sof him who
would seek justice in the courts.
I submit that DR.. Mayer, per-
sonally supporting a candidate
who comes fresh from voting re-
peatedly with Joe Cannon, and
having himself supported with
out protest candidates who went
much further than Senator Fos-
ter went, is, by every rule of
logic, by every cannon of ethics
and morality, estopped from cri-
ticising Senator Fosters tariff
record. When he does that he
condemns his own past record
and impugns his present motives
in supporting Mr.. Ransdell.
Respectfully,
W. c.. CHEVIS.

Be Blue This FalI--But Not Too

Grace M. Gould, writing the

that blue is to be the favorite
color this fall. She adds:
Don't regard the choosing Of
a color for your autumn costume
as a trivial matter. Colors are
not always what they seem.
They have traits that are any,
thing but dependable. There is
the blue: that seemingly, staunch,
old reliable shade. Just look out
for it. 1t may make you happy
and fashionable in the daytime,
but at night you may be bluer
than you want to be-"

Why the Harem Skirt Failed.

Grace Margaret Gould, writ.
ing the fashion talk in the
September Woman's Home Com,
panion, says:
Nov here is the point: Pau.
Poiret, the new dress leader OF
Paris, took a long step in leader
ship when he designed the harem
skirt; but it was a step too far.
In fact, for all his reputation,
even he had to 'side-step.'
The American woman would
have none of this unfeminine,
vulgar, Furkish-trouser skirt-it
was both harem and scarem to
her. She realizes that the more
mannish she appears, the less
feminine she is, and men know
it and treat her accordingly.
Essentially feminine dress is
a mark of both privilege and dis
tinction.
'The shock of this harem
skirt caused the American woman
to think, and to think wisely,
and her will did the rest. She
not only would not have the
harem skirt, but she would have
absolutely feminine fashions and
common-sense fashions, too,
whenever she could get them.
From the extreme of freak,
she flew to the extreme Of sense.
Of course, the cunning French
man went along and got there a
little ahead, too. He must main
tain his leadership in style, even
if he has to eat his own words to
do So"
