Toronto. Aug. 20.--The election campaign

on all sides it is recognized as a reciproc-

whether the Canadian people shall ratify
the agreement with tho United States.
The leader Of the Opposition has decided
to accept reciprocity as the outstanding
issue in his campaign. Urged by many OF

]. II. Fisher. a member of the Ontario Leg
islature has resigned his seat and Will run

acknowledged TO be a strong man, ana the
result will be a battle royal.
The standing of the party in Ontario to-
day is fifty Conservatives 10 thirty-six LID
erals, majority against the government
Of fourteen.
The government is devoting special at
tention TO the province of ontario with h
view to cutting down the Opposition ma
iority. The vote Of the farmer is the vote
which will settle the fate of the reciprocity
uact. In the past the city constituencies
have gone almost soidly Conservative ana
no change is looked for by either party IN

the American Congress have been made the
most of by the Conservative party, ana
hundreds of thousands of pamphlets con-

Halifax, ~ S, Aug. 20-The election
campaign finds both Canadian parties
Liberal and Conservative, unusually ior-
ward 10 Nova Scotia in preparation for the
political struggle over reciprocity Nova
Scotia sends eighteen members to Ottawa
twelve Of whom were Liberal In the late
Parliament and six Conservative.
The fight is especially vigorous in this
part OF Canada. Nova Scotia is supposed
TO he additionally favorable TO closer trade
relations with the United States, and IT
happens that the leading champions Tor
and against reciprocity represent Nova
Scotia constituencies. ". S. Fielding, who
negotiated the treaty on behalf Of Canada
stands for the Queens Shelburne constitu-
ency. while r. l.. Borden, the leader OF the
Canadian opposition, represents Halifax.
Messrs Fielding and Borden. both will be
in Nova Scotia during the last two weeks
of the election. Nearly all the counties in
this province have already nominated cam
didates. Liberal speakers say the pact Is a
matter Of business, pure and simple, and
has nothing TO do with Canadian nation
aIitv or British connection. The ConserVa-
tives, on the other hand. say that reel
procity would cause trade to flow north and
south instead of east and west, and tend
TO divide the Dominion. They represent
the contest IS question between United
Canada and the United States.
Nova Scotia has coal. fish and lumber TO
sell and the shippers of the province are
in a position 10 employ cheap water car

THE result of reciprocity will be that the

The boarding house man said he did not

While the balloon was still hot eight
different men told the landlord they had
come to take it away. The landlord said
that he wished the real owner would come

TEACHING TO COOK.

For centuries Latin and Greek and
the higher mathematics were consid-
cred the essentials OF an education.
From that narrow view OF education
the American people have revolted.
Without dispensing with the classics
or belittling their value as intellect
ual exercises. the disposition in
modern colleges is 10 train a cOnsid-
cradle portion OF the youth OF the
land in the occupations and employ
ments that make for the comfort and
well being Of people generally.
4 few weeks ago the Intelligencer
described in detail a cooking school
experiment which was being carried
out with brilliant success in the city
Of Wheeling. This school was under
the direction OF an agent Of the Kan
sas Agricultural college.
Why shouldn't some work OF this
kind be undertaken by our state uni
versity? What better thing could any

As TO THE REPUBLICAN STATE
COMMITTEE.

Some Democratic newspapers in
West Virginia seem disposed to ex-
cuse the shortcomings OF their own
party. by reference to the futile
Efforts to reorganize the Republican
state committee. The Intelligencer
freely grants the force OF this aryu-
ment. insofar as it condemns Repub-
leans. The Republican state com.
mittee ought To be reorganized in ac-
cordance with the promises made in
1908. II ought TO have been reorgan-
lied long since. II IL had been. II
would have deprived the Democratic
partisans OF one OF their strongest
arguments against the passage of a
primary election law during the late
special session OF the legislature.
However. the Democratic brethren
should not get excited.
The Republican state committee is
going to be reorganized. and II will
be re-organized before the SHOWS fall
again.
The Republican party is amply able
10 clean its own house, and put its
own affairs in order. II is going TO do
so.
1t will do so in good time so far as
the campaign OF 1912 is concerned.
but fortunately for the Republican
party It has no c. w. Watson or w.
z. Chiffon TO apologize for.
1t has no bacchanalian revel OF cor
ruption to blush for.
1t has no purchased legislators and
purchased United States senatorships
TO explain away.
1t has no candidates and leaders
whose names stand for personal dis
honesty. corruption OF the electorate
and debauchery OF Legislators
1t has its faults and its follies and
It's mistakes. but never in the
moments OF its supremest idiocy and
pig headed leadership did the Repub
lican party OF West Virginia commit
such supreme folly as to foist upon
the state United States senator's OF
the calibre OF c. W. Watson and ". f.
Chiffon.

POPULAR. ELECTION OF SEN.
ATORS

BY an overwhelming majority the
United States senate has finally
passed the resolution amending the
constitution 80 as TO provide for the
election OF United States senator's by
direct popular vote. The resolution
has already passed the house OF rep
resentatives. and Il will now be up to
the legislatures OF the various states
TO endorse this amendment. In view
OF the lengthy agitation that has been
carried on all over the country on
this subject, II Is probable that the
amendment will receive the endorse
ment OF a sufficient number or states
to make II effective.
The popular election OF United
States senators will be a radical
change and II is by no means certain
that IL will be a valuable one. II is
impossible TO escape the fact that the
present method OF electing senators
has produced many legislative scan
dals. has seriously affected the value
OF legislative bodies. States will
be benefited by separating the Iegis.
latures from the duty OF electing
United States senators. Too often in
every state. candidates for the legis-
lature have been named because they
represented political faction or
were favorable to a certain candidate
for the United States senate. This
exaggeration OF the senatorial ele-
ment in the election OF legislatures
has overshadowed the consideration
OF personal fitness and character in
candidates for the legislature. Re
lieved OF this work. legislatures will
become more efficient There should
be a higher average OF character in
the membership. and partisan politics
will be to some extent eliminated.
1t does not follow, however. that
popular election OF United States SEN
ators will produce a higher average
OF senators than We now have. In
| West Virginia, for instance, we elect
/ five congressman. a governor and
many other officers by popular vote.
/ No one who is acquainted with the
character Of our congressman. or who
has been acquainted with the char
acter of our governors will assert
that they represent a higher average
OF intelligence and ability than our
United States senator's as Il body
have represented. Much OF the senti-
ment for popular election has come
from dissatisfaction with present
methods. The benefits that will re
suit from the change the Intelligencer
believes are doubtful so far as the
United States senate itself is con
cerned
