his efforts to procure reciprocity
with Canada, and in his efforts to Sc
cure the fertilization OF the Panama
Canal.
'sAnd, in addition to what has been
said about reciprociry with Canada,
l would like to make this point: It
should always be cardinal point in
our. foreign policy to establish the
closest and most friendly relations
of equal respect and advantage with
our great neighbor on the north. And
| hail the reciprocity arrangement be-
cause it represents an effort to bring
about closer, a more intimate, a
more friendly relationship Of mutual
advantage on equal terms between
Canada and the United States
While Canadian reciprocity is now
a dead issue and will very likely
never again be introduced into Ameri-
can politics, it is we'll to bear in mind
that that question had two sides upon
which honest and patriotic men might
well differ, yet to condemn one and
laud another for taking the same
stand on the question is the height OF
inconsistency. We are not living in
the dark ages when everybody was
compelled to think alike or be shot.
The recognition of the idea of free
dom of opinion has made this nation
strong, but appeals to prejudice and
ignorance are an abomination and a
weakness. There is no reason in the
world why the farmers of the North
west can not trust President Taft in
the presidential chair four years
more During the past three years
of his administration they have en-
joyed greater prosperity and receiv-
ed better prices for their farm pro-
ducts, than in any other three-year
period in the country's history, and
surely the President would not know
ingly or willingly do anything to cur
tail their prosperity in the next four
years. President Taft is great and
good man, an honest man, and a very
modest man. He bears in silence
the abuse and Misrepresentation that
is being heaped upon him. His great
modesty and the way he sticks to his
friend, may be faults, but we are in
clined to regard them as among his
great virtues. There is now great
turning to Taft turnout the nation.
Iowa and Rhode Island the other day
instructed their delegates for him.
The president has set his foot on the
ground and from now on will pull
things his way. His denomination
and reelection are assured.

popularity or high favor with the

of putting cases to trial, hence keep

favor Of the holding Of q primary to
determine the choice Of Mississippi

both are agreed that Wilson stands

the banshment Of the baneful Greek

So we repeat It's gratifying to see
such a bill having passed one branch
of the Legislature: The Senate and
on its way IN the House. It's augured
that it will have a rough road ia the
latter body, on account OF there being
such a number Of F'raternal men in
its membership. We hope not The
house has shown itself as in keeping
with the spirit of the day, by already
having passed several pieces of leg
islation tending to bring government
closer to the people and ia other
ways attested its thoroughly modern
democratic sentiment. We know Of
no better way for it to write itself
down further in that direction than
by putting through some measure
which will for all time dispose Of this
vexatious vampire on college life,
which fosters and teaches a senti-

Benjamin Franklin was the author
of that well-known phrase, An axe

was a grown man when he penned
the phrase, but q school boy when
the incident occurred that gave birth
TO it. Little Ben was on bis way to
school when stranger, by tiattery
and kind words got him to Stop and
turn heavy grind-stone for him
while he sharpened his axe. After
an hour or more Of hard work the
axe was sharpened and the stranger
from smiles and flafterg suddenly
changed front, and with q frown and
harshness turned on the boy saying
sharply, "You little rascal, you'll be
late for school; I've good mind to
report you to your father
DR.. Franklin never forgot the in
cident, and whenever he met with
hattery and fawning, always thought

begging Of the question, for the per-
