all the things that affect farm pro-

the Canadian trade agreement would
very seriously injure millions of our
farmers; and We ask other classes to
consider that the farmers have been
good buyers for the last few years,
doing their share to make employ

that If they cannot be good buyers, all
other honest people will be injured.

"The price of hogs on the Illinois
or Iowa farms during the past thirty
days have been only sixty per cent Of
the prices during the same period Of
1910, but the prices of meats to the
city consumer are nearly as high
now as then. The farmer is not the
one to strike at because of the high
prices Of foodstuffs to city consum-

The proposed agreement with Can.

MAKCHU DYNASTY I
DEALT BODY BLOW
Rebellious Provinces Stunned
by the vigor of Reorganiz-
ed Government

Peking, May 1.-THE southern pro-
vinces, which are hostile to foreign
enterprises and the Manchu dynas-
ty. seem stunned by the reorganized
governments boldness in the pro-
v1nces and counter action is anx-
1ously awaited. A revolution ia DOS
sible, but it is generally believed that
the people living in the provinces will
not seriously resist the imperial edict
issued yesterday, which authorized
the conclusion Of the Hukwang loan
OF $3O,O00,O00 for railroad construc-
ton. This loan was signed by groups
or nnancfars representing the United
States, Great Britain, France and Ger
many.
The government has announced
that 1t would relieve the provinces of
control of all trunk line projects,
the provinces having demonstrated
their inability to construct these, and
also that 1t would construct imme-
diately trunk lines throughout the
empire. For this purpose the govern
ment intends to employ foreign loans
and foreign engineers.
This program long has been consid-
cred but no steps were taken to car
ry 1t out. largely because Of suspi-
cion of Great Britain, France and
Germany. 1t is generally consider
ed that this suspicion now has been
dispelled to great extent through
the alliance Of United States bankers
with those of the three other coun-
tries, the United States, 1t being stat
ed, enjoying China's fullest confidence
1t is added further that the jealousies
existing between the various groups
of bankers until recently also have
disappeared.
The opening Of China. which has
been discussed for half a century,
seems imminent.

NEW RICHMOND
Democrats Nay Name Chief Justice
for President

t4 IOIs I1DbI0oQ6
New York.. May 11.-Political circles
are greatly. interested in the discus
sion Of the name Of Edward D.
White, chief justice Of the United
States supreme court in connection
with the presidency. The report that
he is being considered by prominent
Democrats In various SECTIONS Of the
country has given rise to animated
gossip. The more his name is dis
cussed here the more it is admitted
that he would become formidable
figure in the next Democratic nation
al convention II he. should permit his
candidacy to go forward.
Chief Justice White is by no means
unacquainted with politics. although
his long service on the bench has TAX
en- him from the list of active partici-
pants. He served, In congress, and
was recognized as one of the ablest
men of the south, even before he en-
tered the United States senate. Louis
iana has great pride in the career Of
this eminent jurist, who in later
years has belonged more to the
whole country than to his native state
His Elevation Applauded
When President Taft elevated JUS
tice White to the chief justiceship he
won the hearty applause Of the press
and people of the; country, notwith-
standing the fact that Mr.. White was
former confederate soldier and a
Democrat. Nothing illustrated better
the growing spirit Of tolerance in this
country than the /! cordial welcome
that was accorded to Chief Justice
Whites appointment by men differ
ing from him In political views as
we'll as sectional affiliations. It was
tribute to- Mr.. White personally
recognition of the fact that he HIM
self knew no sections and politics in
the performance OF his duties as a
Judge.
Inquiry among prominent Demo-
Gratis here, and among those who
come here from all parts of the coun-
try, leads to the belief that condi-
tions might easily arise in which
Chief Justice Whites name would lead
all the rest in the. presidential con-
test. He Is universally recognized
as possessing the qualities that ap-
peal to Democrats, and his fitness for
the presidency goes, Of course, with
out saying. One Of the strongest ar
guments in his favor, according to
those who have talked the matter
over, is the fact that all sorts of DEM
ocrats could unite in supporting him.
He is not identified with any CLIQUE
or faction. and he appeals as strongly
to the east and north as to the south
and west.
Hope He Will Consent
1t ts not known here whether Chief
Justice White has even heard of the
movement that has arisen to put him
IN the running. But 1t is taken for
granted that he would not consent to
become candidate in the sense that
he would seek the Office. Probably
nothing short Of q practically unani-
nous demand from his party would
induce him to consider the matter.
His admirers believe that this de-
mand will be Forthcoming when all
factors Of the Democratic situation
are considered and they ardently
hope that Chief Justice White will
consent to make the race.
