HALE AND RECIPROCITY.-Any one
who entertains a doubt regarding the tate
OF the Canadian reciprocity agreement IN
the Senate would do we'll to call on Eugene
HaIs senior Senator from Maine, who will
cheerfuIly furnish him with an accurate
forecast OF the future-at least the future
OF this session-with highly ornate embei-
lishments, peculiarly graphic personal
appreciation OF President Taft. some inter-
esting sidelights on Secretary Knox and an
exhaustive treatise Oh the beneficial ef-
fects OF that agreement on the industries
OF the state Mr.. Hale has until March 4
the honor 10 represent II must not be
supposed, either. that this will involve any
great waste OF time, for the Maine Senator
is keyed I'D 10 a point where ne can I'M
part information on this particular subject
at a rapid rate. Mr.. Hale has no impress
sions regarding Canadian reciprocity. He
is dealing In nothing less than convictions
these days. Mr.. Hale is convinced that the
reciprocity agreement will not be approved
at this session, unless death removes him
from the Senate before the expiration OF
his term, and as he is in control OF the
situation. so far as there is any control,
his predictions are probably correct
NO LEADERSHIP before In the
recollection Of those in the Senate has that
body been so completely lacking In leader

promise any affirmative action by the upper
house. This situation makes IT, OF course
all the easier for almost any one TO promise
negative action that is, 10 promise no &C

A SPECIAL SESSION.-Rumors Of
special session continue rife In fact, they
are growing Senator'S who secuted the

seriously now. The attitude Of the Presi-
dent is no clearer now than II was then,
