Boston, Oct. 6-With the close of the
Democratic state convention yesterday
the campaign in Massachusetts, begins.
The platform adopted by the Demo
Gratis praises Gov Foss' administration,
urges the abolition Of party enrolment

a woman suffrage amendment to popular
vote, endorses the initiative and refer

yer sounded the keynote. George Fred
Williams presented the platform and
Governor Foss, who seeks reelection,
endorsed everything that was said in
the speeches and platform.
All the speakers were enthusiastically
cheered, Besides adopting platform
the convention endorsed the state tick
ct named in the recent primaries.
Il am content that the people should
decide upon the single issue whether
| have performed faithfully the duties
Of the office TO which they elected me"
said Governor Eugene n. Foss, in open
ing his address before the convention
Continuing, he argued for a reduction
IN tariff duties, saying in part:
fIhe coming election affords another
and the last warning 10 the Republican
party that, SO far as Massachusetts is
concerned, downward revision is not a
matter for promise, but for accomplish
ment. Reducing the tariff is one meth
cd Of revision; the other is the reci-
procal trade agreement.
Il am not persuaded that Canada
has decided definitely against reciproc-
ity. / believe the Canadians will con
clude an agreement with the United
States as soon as the matter can be
decided without involving other issues
including Canadian selfrespect.
Moreover, only small part Of the
reciprocity issue was involved in the
Canadian agreement. II is to be no
ticed that the very thing that Massa-
chusetts favored IL was beyond the pow
er of Canada to deny namely, free
entry into the United States of food
stuffs and certain raw materials. Let
Massachusetts, get her foodstufrs free
Of duty and free raw materials for our
industries, and our manufacturers will
not ask Tor any unreasonable tariff
rates on her manufactured products.
Equal opportunity in the home market
and fair chance in the foreign market
are all Massachusetts asks.
"A Democratic victory would be a
declaration for both downward revision
and reciprocity; warning that the peo-
pie of Massachusetts wish the promises

The best books on the east, as every
one knows, are the Bible and the Ara
bian Nights" and yet found most
travellers were saturating themselves
with simplify descriptions of monu-
ments and places, with tabloids of his
tory, with technical paragraphs on ar
chitecture and the ethnic religions,
with figures about the height of this
and the length of that or condensed
statistics Of exports and imports and
the tonnage through the Suez canal
and dates about the Pharaohs and the
Mughals. No wonder they see nothing,
know nothing, enjoy nothing and come
home bringing few explosives, adjec-
tives and photographs which can be
had for a small price in either New
York or London.
The first thing to do in going to the
east isato turn your education out on
your desk so that you can get at the
bottom Of it, and there you will find
the Bible and the arabian Nights"
and the odyssey and "Iliad'' and
Virgil and "Herodotus' and "Xeno-
phon," and you will realize what a
fool you were not to have devoted
more time to them when you were
asked to do SO. Guide books can get
you to the east, but they do not get
you inside. It is temperament, not
trains, that counts.-Price Collier In
