Farmers oppose Reciprocity.

Keosauqua Republican: One hun
dred and eight farmers and land own
ers at and in the vicinity of Hills
boro, Republicans and Democrats
alike, a few days ago signed and sent
to the Iowa senators at Washington
the following protest against the pro-
posed Canadian reciprocity pact.
ITO the Honorable Senators from
Iowa, A. B. Cummins, w. S. Kenyon
Washington, D. G.
I'VE, the undersigned farmers, i.v-
ing in this vicinity, without regard u
partisan Or factional differences, unite
in urging that you vote against the
Canadian reciprocity bill, firmly con-
vinced that farm products will bring
smaller returns and our prosperity be
halted if this one-sided trade agree
ment is foisted upon us. We look to
you to protect the farmers of Iowa
against the Vaccinations of the in
trenched interests of the cities. Our
present and future welfare is in your
hands"

ANOTHER VIEW OF THE JAPs.

Much has been said and written
about the intense patriotism and the
bravery of the japanese. A transla-
Japan by Ludovic Naudeau. French
writer. in the Literary Digest, however
shows the Nipponese in new light
Naudeau confesses to having been de-
lighted and fascinated with his first
view OF Japanese life, the courtesy of
the men and the grace of the women.
but further acquaintance with the
place and the people changed his opin-
ion. He found the japanese insin-
cere, treacherous and utterly desti-
tute of commercial honesty. They are
brave in war and supremely patri-
otto" the French writer says, but the
Japanese think of nothing but Japan.
The salvation of Japan is to them the
supreme principle of their existence.
Humanitarianism, internationalism, are
to the Japanese SO many Incompetence
sible and ridiculous dreams" But it
is his reference to japanese insinceri-
ty and commercial dishonesty, that
Naureau's views are of most interest
OF this he says:
The Japanese excel in subterfuges,
in articles. The unreliability Of their
business men, SO singularly contrasted
with Chinese integrity. is for all
Europeans subject of establishment
and of Indignation The japanese of
intellectual standing agree among
themselves that commercial immoral
ity is TO their country veritable ma
tional malady, a plague, serious OBJ
stacle TO progress 1t may seem
paradoxical but is none the less a
fact, that in one of their universities
a chair of commercial probity has been
created. The professor who fills this
chair explains TO the students the adj
vantage of honesty and the evil re
suits OF raseality. These useless at
tempts at training, their Platonic dem
onstrations of honesty as the best
policy, have not yet prevented Japan
from being, on the whole. a country
where forgers, cheats, liars, and i'm
posters of all kinds are by far more
numerous than in any other region OF
our planet
The patriotism of the japanese, he
adds, does not enter into their com.
mercial calculations. In time Of wal
they make vast fortunes by furnishing
government supplies and then waste
their substance in riotous living.

voters had repudiated Judge Green be-

SOME PLAIN TALK.

Inc following WORDS or truth and So
berness are from the Chicago Inter
Ocean. They are timely, In view of
the iptolerable conditions that have
been and are now prevailing in Chi
cago in relation to labor matters:
Any man has the right to quit his
| employment Any number of men have
the right TO quit their employment col
| lectively.
The right to strike Is absolutely
unquestionable. 1t has no limits ex-
cept those Of common humanity-that
the striking shall not be in such man
ner as puts n peril the lives or prop
erty of others.
For example, pilot has no right
to strike as he is taking ship over
a bar, or an engineer to leave his en-
CINE running or a fireman to leave his
boiler SO that It Will explode These
limits are az self-evident as the rea-
son for them.
ANY number Of men have the right
TO bargain collectively as 10 wages or
/ conditions OF employment They have
! the right TO agree among themselves
/ that none will work unless all are
satisfied with the terms offered They
have the right TO organize TO make
their collective bargaining effective
and 70 maintain their common inter
ssts
These rights are also absolutely IN
gvegtionable They are not questioned

But American citizens have certain
rights equally unquestionable, which

AMERICAN AND PRusslAN RA1Es

< ..
The reasonableness of the freight
charges of American railways is strik-
ingiy shown by comparison of sta
tstics OF the railways of Prussia with
those Of the railways included in the
states of New York, PENNSYLVANIA
New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland
These states have nearly the same
area and nearly the same railway
mileage as Prussia The latest sta
tistics available for the Prussian roads
are for 1908, in which year the aver
age charge for hauling a ton OF freight
one mile on the roads of that country
was 20 cents. In the same year the
average charge for hauling ton of
freight one mile on the raiIwsy of the
group of states above referred to was
but 81 of one cent. In other
words. the average freight charge
OF Prussian roads In 1908
was practically twice that OF
the American roads This difference
Is the more remarkable when consid-
cred in connection with the fact that
on the roads in the group of states
referred TO the average daily wages OF
employees. exclusive of general officers,
was nearly three times the average
daily wage paid on the Prussian roads
In other words, while the Prussian
roads had to haul only sixty-three tons
one mile to earn enough to pay the
average daily wages Of one employe.
the American roads had to haul 3Ss
tons one mile to earn enough to pay
the average daily wages of one of their
employees.

For any American citizen TO take
