THE CHANCES OF RECIPROCITY

With q number of important meas
ures pending in the Senate. among
them the necessary appropriation bills,
1T win be very easy for the standpat
Republican Senators to fffbuster
against the Canadian reciprocity bill
and prevent action upon 1t during the
present session. and they, appear IN
clired> to do so. Several of their
leaders retire on March 4th- and have
therefore no personal interest m their
par,y's future.
Republican organs are warning them
of what the Hartford Courant calls
tho consequences of their foly.
There Is little. IL any. doubt that, a
heavy preponderance of public sent-
ment favors acceptance of the reci-
procfty agreement which Is in at least
partial harmony with the results OF
the elections In November last when
large numbers OF Republicans voted
the Democratic ticket in rebuke or
practically the same policy that the
standpat Senators are now endeavor-
ing to promote. Even so radical a
protectlonist as Senator Aldrich real
lies the IOtfy OF tHG Stdiupdt lSiS dH0
has written to President Taft. endors-
ing the agreement with Canada.
The interests OF the Democratic
party will be promoted by the sction
of the Republican standps tiers IL they
succeed In preventing action uron the
agreement. 1t means that a Repub-
ncan President viii be compelled to
seek Democratic aid for measure
calculated to benefit the whole coun-
try by increasing its trade with Can
ace 1t means that the Republican
party will stand condemned for stub
born adherence to a policy out of har-
rrony with the times and with public
sentiment
The Senate Of the next Congress
may not accent the agreement. but
the nea sure will stand a much better
chance then than 1t does now. for the
leading standpatters retire on March
9Th and the Democratic side will be
much stronger. though still minor
fly unless reinforced by the Insurgents
who are as yet mostly an unknown but
not negligible quantity.

movement among the rabbit hunters
of Danbury to call a meeting. ano
have a petition signed to present to
the committee of fish and game al
Hartford asking them to limit the
number of rabbits that may be taken
in one day with a ferret. If the rab-
bit hunters have any wish. or any
expectations of keep ng the law SO as
to allow the continued use OF ferrets,
this measure should not only be talk
ed of, but should be acted upon.
ST find a good deal of dissatisfac-
ton exists concerning this law, and
good many who wish it's entire re-
past two years by the immoderate
way that some Of the rabbit hunt
ers have killed rabbits by this means.
st saw forty-five RABBITS in one pile,
the result of one party's hunt; two
men boarded train with tWenty-sev-
en- rabbits for one days work. q catch
of thirty three in one day for two
men is reported to me and l know
of one man who boosted that he got
over $40 in one season.
st know of a case where party
caught so ",any at one time that part
Of them spoiled and instances could
be added of like import.
Another tn ng that I would like to
cali to their attention and a thing
stand on and that is the tearing down
of fences to take rabbits. A friendly
farmer who is willing that others
should hunt over his land, is not made
more friendly by coming out in the
morning and finding a fine double
fence torn down to get some rabbit.
I know of one man who will have sew
er,I nlaces to mend this spring and it
oftimes prevents Others. who are care
full of fences and property, from en-
tering the lands and is wrong any
wav it is looked at.
ST hone that the weet'ng will not
oniy endorse this suggestion with the
first. but hope that the Individual
hunter when in the woods and neics'
will see that it is right and that 1t
&c for his interest and the future OF
an sport T. respect the property
rights of others.

In q recent speech. Congressman
Hill. gave some verv surprising statis-
tics OF New England conditions. He
stated that between 1880 and 1900. no
less Than 1884 farms were cut into
building lots. sold to summer resi-
dents. converted into private PARKS
and game preserves. or allowed to
grow up to timber. thus taking about
five million acres out of cultivat on
and reducing heavily the total of food
products. During the same 20 year
period. $3.50 new fac cries were es-
tahlished. and there was an increase
of 1.50o oo0 in population.
Do not such figures tend to support
the reciprocity agreement with Can
ada? New Eneland has evi1entlv
growing need both of food supplies
from Canada. and of the Canadian
market for its manufactures.

George B. Griggs OF Houston, Tex,
great incohonee OF the Improved Order
of Red Men of America, arrived in
Fargo on the early morning train from
the twin cities. and win be the chief
guest OF the city the whole day, leaving
tomorrow morning.
This afternoon at Assembly hall at

lis in no sense strictly lodge affair
and the doors of the hall win be
thrown open to the entire public and
a most cordial invitation is extended
to everyone.
Mayor Lowell, himself Red Man,
will deliver the address of welcome
and it is expected that the affair win
be one Of the best attended in the city
in many months. This evening there
will be another big rousing meeting
of the Red Men at Assembly hall, at
which time the great sncohonee viii de-
liver one of his best known addresses.
Mr.. Griggs is speaker Of considerable
note. and served couple of terms In
the Texas state senate.
His recent activities In behalf Of the
great Indian memorial to be erected in
Washington by the Improved Order of
Red Men has brought him into great
prominence throughout the country
and doubtless tonight he will speak on
this subject. Mr.. Griggs' plan for the
memorial Is to have it placed under
the management OF the Smithsonian
institution and make it permanent
monument to the work and life Of the
original American race. which is be-
coming extinct at such rapid rate.
Mr.. Griggs has taken up this matter
with Cuno B. Randolph, president Of
the board of commissioners for the
District of Columbia. and is receiving
the hearty cooperation Of that official
in his great undertaking, which has
been begun since Mr.. Griggs assumed
his present Office in the order. There
are over 100000 Red Men in the coun-
try with fifty three tribes. so that Mr..
Griggs feels that his undertaking viii
be no idle dream and will be possible
within a very short time.
