or points would fade into compara-
tive insignifcance.
Consultation with the Dominions
on these points would have been diff
cult seeing they could not be con-
suited before the next Hague confer
ence.
Sir. Wilfrid Laurier said this was q
very far-reaching proposition that
the dominions should be consulted
regarding treaties made by the home
government. Canada had claimed the
right to negotiate her own CONNER
cial treaties, which right had been
granted her. Regarding other trea-
ties, 1t might seriously embarrass
the home government If it had to
consult the dominions, and IL the do
minions insisted on being consulted
with regard to matters which might
result in war 1t would imply that
they should take part In that war.
Sir Wilfrid thought, on the whole.
the matter had better be left entirely
with the home government. The
declaration itself, was an immense
step in advance Of the first step to-
ward arbitration between nations.
which Canada entirely favored.
Sir Joseph Ward and DR.. Findlay
supported the declaration.

NORTHWESTERN
RATES TOO HIGH
Minneapolis Shippers Attack
the Rates From Twin Cities
to Dakota Points

Washington, June 3-Freight rates
in the northwest We're attacked today
before the interstate commerce COM
mission by the Minneapolis Traffic
association. The petition alleges that
the general freight rates between Min
neapolis and points in South Dakota
and other points in the northwest
which take the same rates, are excess
sive and in some instances exorbi-
tant. The complaint is framed by all
the great shippers Of that section,
who assert that the rates from Mime
apolis to South Dakota and contigu-
GUS points are so high as to render
them unable to do business. The COM
mission is asked to prescribe just
rates and to make connections Of
shipments equitable.

Sir Wilffid I.aurier's Views on,
Making Of Treaties Fish-
er's Resolution

London, June 3.-At today's session
Of the imperial conference Premier
Fisher moved resolution regretting
that the dominions had not been con-
suited prior to the acceptance of the
terms of the declaration of London
and that it was not desirable that
Great Britain should adopt the inclu-
sion Of article "a relating to food
stuffs, In view Of the fact that q
large part Of the trade of the en-
pire was in those articles; also that
It was not desirable that Great Brit
ain should adopt the provisions OF
the articles permitting the destruc-
ton Of neutral vessels. The premier
Of Australia said he attached the ut
most Importance to the first part OF
the resolution. Being now family
Of nations, he thought the time had
arrived when each state Of the en-
pire should be informed, and, II need
be, consulted, before any arrange
ments we're entered into with other
countries by which the interests OF
all were affected The sole desire
of the empire, he stated, was to en-

hension was now felt.
Sir Edward Grey's Views.
Sir Edward Grey, regarding Hon.
Mr.. Fishers resolution regarding
foodstuffs, said that there had hither-
to existed state Of chaos In this d.
rection, and when aggrieved the
countries affected had to depend for
redress on the decision Of prize
court Of belligerents, which was new
or satisfactory though the tribunal
was neutral. On appeal the govern
ment had agreed, to q certain ex-
tent, not to seize goods which were
conditional contraband when con-
signed to q neutral port, even though
they might be destined for the enc
my. One result Of this concession
was that II we found and diniculty
n clearing the whole Atlantic Of the
enemy's cruisers It would be posi-
BILE for goods to be consigned to a
neutral port In Europe. All we
would have to do was to protect the
passage Of the goods across the
channel to one Of our ports. There
was only one thing that could secure
their safety in wartime. and that
was the supremacy Of the British
fleet, and that being maintained. 9TH

hold the election and is keenly con-
cerned about tha situation.
Democrats Chiefs Aid

o--OVvNVsN
Democratic political leaders have
organized a big, campaign for their
candidate and feel very optimistic
about securing the districts indorse-
ment Of President Taft-and repudia-
tion Of the Republican nominee.
It would be hard to conjure up po-
litical situation in which sole con-
gceasi0nal election would seem to in.
volye so much. The district is an
ideal one for test of middle-western
opinion. 1t includes nine counties;
eight strictly agricultural, the ninth
containing the city of Council Bluffs,
with $4,000 people ,.
The election is being held to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation Of
Walter l. Smith, standpat Republican
whom President Taft created circuit
Judge. Judge Smiths last congress
sional act was to demonstrate his ap-
probation of the life position to which
he had been appointed by President
Taft, by voting against Mr.. Taft's pet
bill. The district normally Repub-
lican by 1000 to 12.GO0,- fell of to
1900 majority for Smith last fall be-
cause Smith was a tariff regular and
cannon supporter.
Then came reciprocity and the de-
luge.
Smith resigned to doff his crumpled
toga and put on the new suit of er-
mine. The Republicans met In con-
vention and nominated Judge w. r.
Green, who calls himself conserva-
tive progressive. BY unanimous voice
his convention adopted tariff plank
which denounced the Taft program in
these sounding terms:
We oppose the proposed Canadian
reciprocity treaty as being detriment-
al to the farming interests of the
country; and we pledge the nominee
Of this convention 70 oppose the adop-
ton Of said reciprocity measure, and
we urge our United States senators
to use their influence to prevent the
passage Of said, measure. We. de-
nounce the proposed free list Of the
Democratic house #of representatives
as a measure injurious to the inter-
ests of American Industry and dan
gerous alike to farm and shop.
To which the Democratic conven-
tion retorted by adopting this ringing
endorsement of President Taft:
We commend the Democratic house
Of representatives upon its support
! and passage Of the. bill providing for
reciprocal trade relations with Can
ada. Fair reciprocity has always been
a Democratic doctrine, and while the
pending trade agreement originated
with a Republican president, the
Democratic members Of the house
recognize in it a. measure which
while not perfect, "Opens the way for
better trade relations and the exten-
sion Of the American markets., and
have practically given it their sup
port. They have thus demonstrated
to the country that they place patriot
ism above party advantage and sup
port any meritors saneasure which
has for its object theepurpose Of light
ening the burdens resting upon the
common people.
President Taft can see in this q
whole Greek army bringing him gifts
If his party gets licked, why he wins;
if his party wins. his policy will be
beaten. ,....

WOMAN. DISAPPEARED
Went to Visit Her Mother and Did Not
Return

| Philadelphia, June 3.-Alarmed at
the disappearance of his wife Blanche,
who dropped out of sight week ago
last Saturday, Charles Gibbons, son
Of the late Michael Gibbons, a wealthy
wholesale liquor dealer, has reported
her absence to the police authorities
and has asked their aid in finding
her.
The last time that Gibbons saw his
wife was at the Hotel Bingham, where
they had apartments. She told him
that she intended to visit her moth
er, Mrs. Ada Ledlie Of 1928 West Hunt
ingdon street, and since then he has
not seen nor heard anything of her.
"The whereabouts Of my wife is a
great mystery to me-" said Gibbons
in his apartments at the St. Francis
hotel, 1917 Walnut street, where he
has recently been living. II cannot
understand why she should run off
and leave me alone. I haven't the
slightest idea where she can be, and
sometimes fear she has fallen into
the hands of some unscrupulous men
who are detaing her against her will,
or that she has met with foul play"
Gibbons has not only notified the
police of his wife's mysterious disap-
pearance, but he has engaged the
Penn Detective company, which has an
office in the Heed building, to assist
him in finding her The detectives
are working on several theories, one
of which is that she has Joined some
theatrical company.
They are working on the latter
theory. because Mrs. Gibbons, accord
ing to her husband, has alwaye been
more or less "stage struck During
the last two years she has taken part
in several amateur theatrical per-
formances. Only about a month ago
she appeared in play called Entire
Nous" at Dawson's grotto, at Broad
street and Columbia avenue. and a
short time before that she was seen
at st. Columbia's hall, Twenty-third
street and Lehigh avenue in an anna
teur play.
The Gibbons formerly lived at 5019
Pine street They were married sew
en- years ago. when Gibbons lived at
Gray's Ferry avenue and Christian
street. Her father is James Ledlie,
police sergeant of the Twenty-eighth
police district, Twentieth and Berks
streets.

future DEPENDS
ON RECIPROCITY
-----
President Taft Will Succeed or
Fail By Virtue of His
Stand

Washington, June 8.-0ne OF The
most interesting political phases Of
the fight over the Canadian reciproc.
ity agreement relates to what will be
the effect on the political fortunes ot
President Taft II the senate turns
down the reciprocity measure and
thus defeats the plans of the presi.
dent.
This question is viewed from differ.
ent angles by different persons. Some
think that President Taft has already
damaged himself irreparably by his
advocacy Of reciprocity. Others con.
tend that it is the best thing he ever
did so far as his political fortunes
are concerned.
Defeat May Aid Taft
Nevertheless, there are plenty OF
politicians about these parts who rec.
ognize the possibility that If the sen.
ate defeats reciprocity. it will be do.
ing the best thing possible to helm
the president.
They preceive that if the senate
which is none too strong in the eyes
Of the nation anyhow, turns down this
reciprocity agreement and then Pres
ident Taft goes out before the country
and hammers away at the issue be.
fore the people, and along with this
breaches the doctrine of lower tariffs
all along the line, he will make busi-
ness extremely bad for some Of the
senators who are now doing their
level best to defeat reciprocity both
by direction and indirection.
Taft to be RenOminatcd
All the signs are that in the next
Republican national convention there
is going to be tremendous struggle
over the platform. One phase of this
struggle will relate to tariff.
President Taft will undoubtedly be
renominated. II he is renominated on
a platform Of lower tariffs, the high
tariff men in the Republican party
cannot fight his election, inasnuch
as to do 80 would merely help on the
prospects for complete Democratic
control Of the government.
Test Case In West
A wee. sma' voice about the size OF

being tuned up an expression Of mid

A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE

Last year it required considerable
solicitation to induce the two COM
missioners from the north end OF
the county to appropriate $1,000 for
the benefit of the Fair, and they re-
quired two kinds Of proof that every
dollar appropriated would be paid TO
somebody for premiums awarded on
exhibits. and not dollar of it spent
for races.
The same men sitting on the board
in Bonneville county last week ap-
propriated $4,000 for their fair to be
held in August, and at time when
very little can be exhibited, and when
it is admitted they are sacrificing on
exhibits in order to secure horses for
the races, In making this appropria-
ton no condition is named as to what
the money shall be expended for.

YOU MAY FIND 1T

A few months ago this paper was
criticised by our contemporary for
changing it's policy and admitting a
LIQUOR advertisement in it's columns,
and in replying we showed how the
liquor dealers had circumvented the
members of the press in attempting
to suppress their advertising in dry
territory. We also spoke of how
impossible it is for the publishers to
determine the merits of all PROPOSE
lions that come along in local news
paper work, and we stated that a
firm had been corresponding with this
Office for some months in an effort to
get into our paper with matter that
appeared to have no merit and must
depend entirely upon advertising to
get any recognition. We said, too,
that we might be mistaken about that
and we had concluded that If they
complied with all the requirements
we made of them they could get space
to say what they desire and leave 1t
to our readers to judge of whether
it was good or not.
1t was small advertisement and
made very little difference in the way
of revenue, but after eight months
of correspondence their advertising
appears in the Republican, and while
we have not changed our opinion as
to its merits, we respect the determ-
ination that keeps after thing until
they secure it.
It's up to you.

BLACKFOOT'S ART EXHIBIT

A fine Art Exhibit is to be present
ed by the schools. The exhibit is un-
dertaken for the purpose of raising
funds to purchase pictures for pub
lie schools. The pupils are selling
the tickets, the pupil who sells the
most to get free picture for his
or her room.
No city or town should be indiffer-
ent to- the wholesome influence that
good pictures have upon the inhabit-
ants. 1t is the work of the schools
to develop the finer natures of child
rem by making their surroundings
artistic. At the present time our
public schools have dearth of good
pictures. 1t is now recognized by
authorities that culture and refine
ment can be greatly aided by the
proper display of pictures on the
walls of our school rooms. The larger
the attendance at this exhibition the
greater the number of pictures can
be purchased.
This collection has distinctly edu-
cational purpose in review being ar
ranged to show the development Of
art from the pyramids and temples
of Egypt through the fine old classic

are most interesting and are the I'm

in this town.
Teachers and pupils have taken
hold in an encouraging manner. II

funds to purchase number of good
