the other through two magnets, and
it records the human voice perfectly,
even more so than the graphophone.
A whisper can be heard on it, But
it has the further merit of taking a
mechanical record, like the phono-
graph. The telegraphone does not
appear anywhere near the person

form of the dictagraph or telephone,

Where Do You Stand?

The common sense citizens of the
United States will never consent to the
elevation of LaFollette in our dealings
with our big neighbor to the North.
The Review believes Reciprocity
is right and proper 1t would like to
know what the people in this section
think of it. We therefore publish in
this issue vote blank, which we wish
every reader Of this paper would fill

Better yet, we would be glad if each
one would state briefly or at length
just why he takes his stand for or
against the proposed Reciprocity
Treaty. THE Peoples Forum con-
Quoted by the Review is open for dis
cussion and in it will be found com

stand from that advocated by the paper

Principles Go With Party.

Imagine the spectacle OF our own
"Joe" Dixon-according to press re-
ports making the threat in the Sem
ate that himself and other Republicans
would head revolt and vote indiscrim-
inately for free trade, provided the
passage of the Canadian reciprocity
bill were not promptly headed off.
That s where Dixon and lot of 9TH
ers are way off their reckoning. They
confuse Canadian reciprocity with free
trade, and the two ideas do not run on
parallel courses.
Reciprocity is right both in principle
and practice, simply because of our
close and intimate relations with Cam
ada, which amount to everything ex-
cept absolute corporate union. June

the American people crowned with
victory in this great achievement of
his administration and without ques-
tion this accomplishment alone will
be sufficient to bring about his enthus-
iastie denomination and reelection a
year hence
The Review thoroughly believes that
the President 5 policy in this respect
has been right from the first. This
newspaper did rather question his wis
dom in attempting to pass the Treaty
measure at special session. But Taft
has shown in this instance that he can
see farther along the pathway of pro-
gress than many of his astute critics
and his acts have been completely
justified by the outcome.
The Review is not sufficiently hide
bound in its political partisanship to
indulge in regret because this great
victory Of the Taft administration was
won by Democratic support. The Re-
publicans who failed to stand by the
Standard bearer of their party in this
great fight, will unquestionably have
some explaining to do when they
return to their constituency.
And If Canada ratifies the Reciproc-
ity pact, we will unquestionably see
vast benefits aecruing to the country
at large through its operation And say
what you will, the prosperity of the
entire country means more in the long
run to Us as individual citizens as well
as to the citizenship collective
~ than does the temporary advantage
that may accrue to this or that
section through legislation based on
sectional favoritism. July Is, 1911.

VIII Joe Coincide?

The insurgent senators are not SO
much opposed to Reciprocity as to Taft
and their opposition to Taft is not
based on anything in particular, aside
from desire to destroy him and make
room for Jonathan Bourne and LaFol-
lette, Bristow, or one of that crowd.
Until lately no one took stock in
the rumor that the paper trust and
the lumber trust had secured control
of the insurgents camp. Common rum
or hath it that the insurgents have been
in sore need of financial backing; in
short, that they are individually and
collectively looking for angels. >
The lumber trust and the paper trust
are battling for their lives in opposi-
tion to the Reciprocity pact, and are
not notoriously particular as to the
kind Of recruits they pick up.
The LaFollette boom finds backing
in some magazines willing to swap
space and puffs for guarantees of i'm
munity from payment of legitimate
postage charges. What matters it If
the government does get stuck one, two
three, four or five millions of dollars
each month by carrying magazines at
less than costs If the magazines will
carry to magazine postage rates below
cost Of carriage?
The government pays the freight,
the statesman gets the goods, and the
magazine makes the profit.
Pretty good system, all right, for
those on the inside, but the Review
wonders whether ''Joe" Dixon, as a
''near insurgent" will stand for this
sort of program. July 7, 1911.

Presidents Action Justified.

President Taft's judgment seems
after all to have been thoroughly
vindicated by the course of events. He
has been severely criticised in some
quarters for calling the extra session
OF Congress in order to pass the Recip-
rocity Bill and it was prophesied that
his efforts would meet with failure !:
that the administration did not possess
the power to carry this proposition
through.
Today the President stands before

Senator Dixon has concluded that
the newspapers of the United States
favor Canadian Reciprocity solely be-
cause under it, paper pulp will be free
and paper possibly few cents ton
cheaper. For this reason he assumes
that they have given their support to
a measure which otherwise they would
have opposed.
This is drawing a pretty long bow.
1t might have occurred to an even less
astute observer than Senator Dixon
that if free pulp was all the newspapers
of the country were after, there was
much simpler way of getting it than
to go to all the trouble of inducing
the President of the United States
and the Premier of Canada to negotiate
a treaty covering q thousand and one
articles in which it was included If
they could fcree the reciprocity bill
through Because it contained a free
pulp clause how much simpler a mat
ter it would be to have a bill passed
giving them free pulp without any
of the complications to which the sena-
tor objects.
The effect is that to assume that
any considerable number of papers
would support bill they thought 9TH
erwise vicious because it might give
them cheaper paper. simply silly. You
can't buy practically the entire press
of the United States SO mean a bribe
