Reciprocity Puts Taft

AS the case stands if the reciprocity
agreement proves popular in opera
ton the Democrats can claim all the
credit for its success. Mr.. Taft has
given his official certificate that with
out their help the benefits of recipro-
city could not have been secured.
On the other hand, if the plan works
as the Northwestern farmers are so
sure it will work that fear of their
resentment drove the ten most con-
spicuous insurgents to a public re-
cantation of their pledges,if it proves
widely unpopular-then the demo.

the administration of Mr.. Taft. They
can truly say that it wasn't their plan

North Dakota Officers
Don't Have to Pay

July 1 a new law went into effect
in North Dakota which reads as fol
lows: L..
mo person shall demand, solicit
ask or invite any payment or contri.
button for any religious, political,
charitable or other such cause from
a person who seeks to be or has been
nominated or elected to any office
and no such candidate or elected per-
son shall make any such payment or
contribution if it shall be demanded
or asked during the time he is can
didate for nomination or election or
an incumbent of any office. No pay
ment or contribution for any purpose
shall be made a condition precedent
tt the putting of name on any eau
Gus or convention ballot or nomina-
ton paper or petition, or the perform
ance of any duty imposed by law on
e political committee. The penalty:
Whoever violates any provision of
| this act, the punishment of which is
not specially provided by law, shall
on conviction thereof be punished by
Imprisonment in the county Jail for
not more than six months, or by a
fine of not more than $1,000 or by
both such fine and imprisonment"
From now on the ushers in the
churches, the man who has a hard
luck story, the church worker that
asks for subscriptions and donations,
the various societies and political par
ties, baseball clubs, football teams,
etc, will, first af all, be obliged to
get the names of all officeholders and
candidates for any Office in the terri
tory which they intend to canvass
for donations and ascertain how
many people there are LEFT that have
no office or take chances of getting
pnched. In the light of all this, the
contribution plate which is passed
each Sunday in the church will either
have to be placed at the doorway or
the candidates and Office holders may
abandon the church rather than to vi
olate any of the provisions of this

1T MAKES BIG DIFFERENCE
What Quincy Paper Said About Wat

eriOo Three Months Ago.
The Quincy Wing, which has been
one of the most rabid of the neWspa-
pers that have been trying to break an
opening for that city into the Three
Eye and which now exults over the
injunction pending at Springfield
looked on the matter differently when
Waterloo went into the courts three
months ago. Then the Wing said:
President Tearney' declaration that
'Waterloo's action is an absolute base
ball crime contains a sentiment which
is reflected in baseball men through
out the country. Baseball is one sport
which has kept clean and to resort TO
the courts has never been considered
necessary in even the most important
cases
"Quincy's predicament was just as
serious when it was seeking release
from the Central as Waterloo in it's
fight to retain franchise in the
Three-Eye league. No man ever heard
a member of the Quincy league asso-
citation even hint at resorting to the
civil courts. Quincy accepted the laws
of baseball when she entered a recog-
nized league; the club was protected
by the laws of organized baseball:
and when the trouble arose, the men
who controlled baseball in Quincy
stood by baseball and were willing to
abide by its tenets."
