Mr.. Roosevelt's explanation is I'M
worthy Of consideration for two rea-
sons. In the first place, a man in
his position from whom advice and
suggestion had been sought by the
president Of the United States ought
not to admit having hastily endorsed
reciprocity without knowing what he
was doing. AS a matter Of fact, Mr..
Roosevelt's letters and speeches
above quoted are exactly in line with
his record.
More han this, Mr.. Roosevelt's ex-
PLANTATION Is an insult to the intelli-
gent voter because in his letter to
President Taft he says, Il firmly be-
lieve In free trade with Canada"
This is going farther than President
Taft ever went, because Mr.. Taft's
idea Of reciprocity was to obtain val
liable consideration in return for con
cessions granted. Roosevelt's free
trade proposition If enacted into law
would break down all the barriers
between Canada and the United
States and would cause tremendous
financial loss to American farmers.
The fact Is that Mr.. Roosevelt was
heartily in favor Of reciprocity and
Of free trade with Canada until he
made his tour Of the west before the
Republican national convention, when
he found that reciprocity was unpop-
ular. Then he shifted. His pres
ent attitude demonstrates his utter
i%nsincerity and shows that he Is ready
to do anything to catch votes. He
is ready to endorse anything that he
believes Is popular and to condemn
that which he thinks Is unpopular
without regard to his own convictions
or wise governmental policies. The
manner In which he has suddenly re
versed himself In the hope that by
SO doing he would gain a few votes is
an example Of demagogism thorough
ly typical Of his character.
1t is also important to remember
that II a Democratic president should
be elected reciprocity with Canada
would soon be an accomplished fact
inasmuch as the Democrats in the
house of representatives voted for it
and also voted against repeating the
law which had been passed. Demo
cratic reciprocity is the kind that
the Canadian newspapers are hoping
Canada will secure. because it will
mean that Canada will get everything
from the United States and give moth

MANY WORDS OF CHEER
Contributors to the Campaign Fund
Who Believe In President
Taft.

One of the most ENCOURAGING fac
tors in the campaign is the enthusk
assn expressed by the many contrib
utors to the Republican campaign
fund.
1T is my deliberate Judgment"
writes a Chicago merchant, that Mr.,
Taft has been one Of the best presi.
dents that the United States has had
in the last forty years and l believe
that he deserves reelection"
I'VE do not need any change In the
presidency" writes a Wisconsin con
tributor, land in my opinion we are
not going to have any change. Presi.
dent Taft is an honest. able and con-
scientious man and he deserves and
will receive reelection. In this local.
ity the sentiment is coming his way"
Hundreds of letters contain similar
expressions of opinion. They show
in every section a strong feeling that
President Taft's splendid administra-
ton has made a deep impression and
that people do not want a change.

WILL GET MORE SALARY
Promotions and Increased Pay for
1900 Railway Mail ClerkaI

Still another evidence OF Repub-
lican prosperity and President Taft's
sincerity In endeavoring to benefit
the toiler was manifested when he
recommended to congress that the
clerks In the railway mail service be
classified and given an increase in
wages. There are 16, 700 clerks in
that branch OF the governments ssry-
ice. and the postal appropriations bill
signed by the president just before
congress adjourned carried with It
the promotion with Increased nav. of
$1,000 men on Oct. 1, 1912, and those
not promoted on that date will ra-
ceive more pay at the end OF the c,u--
rent fiscal year.

WAITING TO SHIP

Democratic Vic

From the GLASGOW, Mont. Independent
The Hon. James Bryce, British am
bassador to the United States, hA
been in Australia this summer, and n
a recent speech at Melbourne he cheer
ed the hearts Of the Australian wool
growers by telling that there was pros
pect Of an early reduction in the
American wool tariff. This, he pre-
dicted, would mean a large increase IN
the wool experts from Australia Il
the United States.
The ambassador is right. That Il
just what will happen If the wool tariff
is lowered, and the Montana sheer
men know, because they remember
what happened In 1894 when WOO
wasn't worth anything and when sheer
were worth even less. When the Dem
ocratic members Of the ways and
means committee OF the house, in the
recent session Of congress, presented
lheir wool bill for consideration, theJ
claimed that it would increase the i'm
ports of wool into America by 100.

But there can be no increase In the
consumption Of wool and the Amer

wool under the Democratic tariff lava

ROOSEVELT AND
RECIPROCITY ISSUE
INSIkCERITY AND DEMAGOGISM
OF THIRD TERM CAN
DlpATE SHOWN.
WHY HE SHIFTED POSITION
He Not Only Favored Reciprocity but
Wrote President Taft That He
Firmly Believed in Free Trade
With Canada.

Although reciprocity is now a dead
issue, it is worth while, for the IN
'~lightenment of those who oppose
President Taft for his endorsement
of reciprocity, to recall the position
taken by Colonel Roosevelt upon that
question. Mr.. Roosevelt favors free
trade with Canada and was an ardent
advocate and supporter of reciprocity
until he found that its endorsement
would not help him in his third term
race.
President Taft, while he was con
sidering the question Of reciprocity,
naturally consulted with ex-President
Roosevelt. He knew that Mr.. Roose-
welt had been president, that he was
familiar with the subject and that he
was, at that time, a good and loyal
Republican. When, In the course Of
a lengthy letter, he asked Mr.. Roose-
velt's advice. he reviewed both sides
of the matter In impartial fashion.
Mr.. Roosevelt's reply was not only a
full endorsement but he went so far
as to advocate absolute free trade
with Canada. Mr.. Roosevelt wrote
as follows:
Roosevelt. for Free Trade With Canada.
New York, Jan. II, 1911.
Dear Mr.. President:
1t seems to me that what you pro-
pose to do with Canada is admirable
from every standpoint. firmly be-
iieve in free trade with Canada for
both economic and political reasons.
AS you say, labor cost is substantially
the same in the two countries, SO
that you are amply justified by the
platform. Whether Canada will &C
cept such reciprocity ! do not know,
but Il is greatly to your credit to
make the effort.
Ever yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Not only in his letter to President
Taft, but also 4 speeches Mr.. Roose-
welt endorsed reciprocity. At Grand
Rapids, Mich, on February 70, 1911,
he said:
Here, friends, in Michigan, right
on the northern frontier, ! have the
peculiar right to say a word OF con
graduation to o and to all Of is
upon the likelihood that we shall soon
have closer reciprocal tariff and trade
relations with the great nation to the
north Of u.s."
And in a speech before the Repub-
lican club Of New York city, deliv-
cred on February 13, 1911. Mr.. Roose-
welt gave emphatic endorsement OF
President Taft and reciprocity In the
following words:
II want to say how glad I am at
the way In which the members Of the
club here tonight responded to the
two appeals made to them to uphold
the hands of President Taft, both ik
his effort to secure reciprocity with
Canada and in his effort to secure
the fortification of the Panama canal"

OVERLOOKED A. BET.

Philadelphia Times: The national
commission has decided that Roger
Salmon, the Princeton southpaw, is
the property of the Athletics. Roger
Bresnalhan put up Il fight for him. as
was predicted. But it seems that the
rajah overlooked n important fact
that rendered his claim invalid.
He didn't get either a formal or
written contract from the lad, and
there was nothing for the big body to
90 in the matter but turn him over to
Connie Mack. who signed Salmon.
The kid is said to be a diamond i'm the

sort of tutoring which the Mach
catchers a give him he should de-
velop into another RUDE Waddell. II
