RECIPROCITY HEARING.
Gov. Osborne of Michigan, Favors Pass
 ing the Measure.

Washington May 17.-The address of Governor Osborne of Michigan. favoring the passage of the Canadian reciprocity bill featured today's hearing before the senate finance committee on the reel procity and free list bills
 Governor Osborne expressed tho opinion that Canada could not compete .successfully with the United States in Tthe growing of wheat or in any of the othef ways in which those opposed to the treaty fear.
 The alleged Humber trust" came in for considerable discussion. Leonard Bron son, representing the National Lumber manufacturers Association. who opposed the bill. said placing lumber on the free list was largely the result of a public sentiment which had been created, be- lieving that thete existed a lumber trust The conditions existing in the majority of lumber mills make effective combi- nation impossible, he said. most of the mills having no timber reserve but buy ing what they use in the open market Most of the timber that is cut, he said is by small mills. each doing a small business.
 Although the government in its effort to prove there was lumber trust had received all possible aid from the lumber people, he said, nothing had been proven. He contended that this country does not need Canadian timber as 1t has plenty of its own.

Cash in Her Stockinp.

While travelling to this city. Mrs.
Frances Held Of Danbnry, Conn. in
adyertently threw a pair of stockings
out of the window of a fast Santa Fe
train a few miles west of Albuquer-
que. Soon afterwards she discovered
that she had left a roll of 1900 in
bills in the toe of n of the stock
ines, and she appealed to\ Conductor
Milo Thomson for helm to recover
It. At the next station Thompson
wired back to the agent at Albuquer-
que to make a search, which was
lone, and the stockings and money
we've found This information was
wired to Winslow, Arfz., and when
Mrs. Held's train arrived there, the
company's representative handed her
the cash. The stockings, it is stat
ed, are now on the way by mail, be-
cause tHny could not be forwarded
by wire.
Mrs. Held gratefully wrote a let
ter to the assistant passenger traf-
fic manager, thanking the company,
and asking that full credit be given
Conductor Thompson. He was given
a credit mark and the latter went in
to the company's archives.-Los AM

Lone American Girl Safe
Anywhere IN The World,

New York. May IA lone girl is
safe anywhere in the world. So says
Miss Jennie Wilson. a pretty Ameri-
can girl who has just completed a
tour of the world, during which she
therefore, can be in a position to
speak with authority.
"Of course" she explained, "I had
letters to people in Paris and all that
5ut most of the time l. was absolute
~ alone, and it is my belief that a
roman can go anywhere in the world
thee days if she only knows how to
behave herself.
81 think a oma travelling alone
should behave as nearly as possible
like q man. / mean she should on
duct herself with the reserve of a
gentleman, and yet be willing to make
.iIeAds frankly with people who APP
pear desirable, and whose manners
are equally frank. 1 don't believe in
harshness.
81 am sure~I cannot see, why a wo-
lance on a voyage as well as a man.
If she is not old enough to use dis
erection, then she shouldn't have been
,raveling alone.
I'm most of my travels l have four
erunks-one must look decent when
one arrives at a really good hotel
and after I left Paris I had six trunks.
You know American women don't care
to travel over Europe looking the way
English women do. We do not
all our old clothes when we go on
trains and boats"
do yuo think American women
are less likely to meet with unpleas-
ant experiences when travelling than
the women of other countries? ?" she
was asked.
yes. / do think So" confirmed
Miss Wilson. "You see. the Amer
lean woman has a reputation abroad
for being able to take. care Of her
self.
"For one thing she has a quite
frank manner, which usually disarms
the Frenchman or Italian in search
of a Irritation.
Secondly, the American woman
usually carries herself and walks as
though she were quite able to take
care of herself usually. AS a matter
of fact she is. The average American
girl has a better athletic training
than the average man of Paris for
example.
but when you get the whole thing
down to the last analysis the way a
woman alone is treated depends most
on her manners. Take my own ex-
perience, / am certainly not large
enought nor strong enought to strike
fear into the heart Of any flirtatious-
Jv fncIinod man and vet 4 Assure
you I covered my 10000 miles witt
out one unpleasant incident"
All of which should silence those
obviously untrue tales of gay life
In Paris and VIENNA.

A young woman pretends to know

Woodrow Wilson, Statesman of the
Hour.


The record of Woodrow Wilson as
Democratic governor of New Jersey
and his continually growing impor-
lance as a national figure constitute
one of the most remarkable and sti-
mulating chapters in the annals of
American politics.
Within a little more than 8 months
all his campaign pledges have been
wrought into liberal and wholesome
laws that lift New Jersey from its
Io,mer place among trust-ridden,
saaohine-bridled states to one of the
-ost prog1 esSive commemorative in
Ii the union. No champion of public
5 opposed to special interests ever
,ask, for if there was ever a citadel of
as New Je sey before the advent of
Woodrow Wilson. Both before and
fter his election he was opposed by
re old bosses in each party. They
over expected that he would make
aaaway in redeeming even a portion
IF the promises to the people. Yet in
the first session Of the legislature he
edeemed them all.
+ There has been enacted an employ
ers' liability and workingmen's COM
~1ensation law which is truly describ-
I'd as being more serviceable and
daore consistent with justice than
perhaps any similar statute in the
union.
The public utilities act brings pub
&c service corporations under thor
0ugh control and is at the same time
amirently fair to all the interest con-
cerned.
The corrupt practices act, nodded
.fter English laws will purify cleo
tons and give sway to intelligent
md honest suffrage.
The primary and election bill is
till another step toward making
government more thoroughly of the
people and by the Peep e.
In addition to these there have
been enacted measures regulating
cold storage. correcting abuses in
connection with false weights and
substituting indeterminate
for determinate sentences in criminal
cases and putting the administration
of the states school system on a more
efficient basis.
The Jersey City Journal, a Repub-
Iican paper, too, justly declares:
""The victory Governor Wilson has
woon is a revelation of the mans
character and leadership and a marvel
to the country. No governor has
ever achieved so much in SO short a
time"
1t is inevitable that such a states
man should loom large in the life and
politics of the nation. He has i'm
pressed himself upon the thought of
the east more wildly than any of his
contemporaries there. In the south,
the land of his birth and u~pbringing
it is recognized that he has revived
the most brilliant and virile elements
Of craftsmanship that once made this
section dominant in the councils of
the republic. And now the west has
turned to take measure of this new
leader in national thought. 1t may
safely be forecast that there IS else
where he will inspire enthusiasm and
fealty to the great cause he re-
presents.
In the light of achievements and
his character and his evergrowing
public influence Woodrow Wilson
stands today in the very forefront of
Democratic probabilities for the next
presidential nomination.-Te Atlanta
Journal.

The First Reunion.
"The first reunion of Confederate
veterans was planned and given by
her. / can see them yet as they fol-
lowed Gen. Ray, not as in the days OF
that fierce struggle, but peacefully
and joyously under the giant oaks of
his magnificent estate 10 the home
where his good wife waited with a well
come of a true daughter of the South.
Soft music, the birds and fair blue
hills, all nature seemed to join n
echo sacred memories as hand clasp
ed hand. A royal feast was spread;
.ow happy dear Mrs. Ray had been
for days planning it., and in carrying
out every detail. Gen. Ray must not
know, for it was to be a surprise to
him, which made it more interesting.
1t was a perfact day, mountain peaks
away in Tennessee were clearly e e
like sentinels over the ocean of sum-
mits stretching to the West. In the
light of a glorious sunset they they
parted. To some it was the first and
last reunion here, to others, the be-
ginning of many which have followed.
This is such a feeble picture of her
life and labors. I send it to you
in the hope that one better able will
tell of them, and recognition in keep
ing with their true greatness be given
by those who wore the gray, while
she. lives.
During the past three years she
mas seldom been able to leave hef
room. There are days and nights of
intense suffering borne with the for
titude which has characterized her
ife. Mental vision is unclouded, love
and comprehension broad and true as
ever, but physical strength is lacking 4

If the enactment of that measure by

if the agreement goes through, but
fear OF such desertion would not
change his conviction as to the wis
dom of such legislation. He said that
believed reciprocity to be the best
thing for the whole country and that
he didn't intend to g it.
n. P. Hull, spokesman TO rthe farm
ers, intimated strongly that the farm
er doesn't like reciprocity, and that
republican votes are likely to be lost
if it is passed.
II have no disposition to interfere
with the prosperity of those who make
up the bone and sinew of our popuIa-
tion-the farmers-and I am ~convfnc-
ed that I am in no way interfering
with it." declared President Taft, in
reply to Mr.. Hull.
IF I am-if we carry through the
treaty, and it turns outthat it does
nrodouee the injury that you anticipate
It can be replaeIed by a single con-
gress. 1t does not last longer than
either side declares it to last. / am
convinced that after it has been given

of reversing it. That is my coonvic-
ton. I cannot go into an argument.
"You say that the republican farm

through. / am very sorry if that is
be the case, because l have a per-
