CANADIAN TARIFF,

a deputation Of western farmers
representing the Western Grain Grow
ers and Ontario Grange, waited or
Premier Borden Of Canada and hi:
cabinet this week. They went to dis
cusg a number Of topics Of interest t
the farmers of the dominion OF Can,
ada. among the more important the
Canadian tariff on wheat.
Commenting on this visit The Win
nipeg Telegram says:
IL the deputation which is now
visiting Ottawa is not so repre-
Sentative as others have been, it
ID largely because the farmers of
= h west have to a considerable
extent lost interest in the subject
matter being brought before the
attention Of the government.
s The aim Of the delegation is to
IS have the Canadian tariff upon
+@FWheat and other grains removed.
81 Although the object Is to secure
m free entrance Of Canadian wheat
Hinto the United States, the request
Is legitimate, legitimate in this
sense, that 1t Is free from the car-
dinal !" objection to reciprocity, in

joint. action Of two countries join
ed together by a fiscal arrange
ment which excludes others.
1t is quite obvious that Canada
could not possibly be injured by
the free importation of wheat, be-
Canada's interest. in wheat
Is entirely that Of an exporter. The
duty does not stimulate and is
not necessary to maintain the
" Canadian output Of wheat. True.
Canada would not be benefited,
r but Il could not be injured. For
81 the same reason the United States
can neither derive injury nor bene-
fit from the free importation of
wheat, It being itself O wheat ex-
porting country.
Therefore there is no argument
of a protective character for the
retention OF this duty, except that
II protects certain vital Canadian
interests extraneous to the pro-
duction Of wheat. That is very
dangerous ground. Because a
duty possessing only benefits ex-
~traneous to the industry which At
affects, would be most likely to
come under the accusation of con-
ferring those benefits at the
peiage of that industry. 1t is not
fnconceivable that such interests
Al i exist, and it is possible they
are vital to the well-being Of the
nation. But they must be defined,
and defined openly. and their vi
taIity must be shown, and shown
e openly.

A cRIsIs-AN OPPORTUNITY.

The Forum believes that Fargo is
face to face with one Of it's greatest
opportunities. 1t is just as firmly con-
WINGED that it stands facing a supreme
crisis. This opportunity and this
crisis is the Fargo college situation.
During the past week The Forum
has outlined the plan by which it is
hoped to place Fargo college squarely
on it's feet. 1t is an excellent plan.
There does not seem to be any reason
why it should not go through to a
successful conclusion.
There is no lack Of enthusiasm
throughout the city. In fact, as one
man who is deeply interested in the
college says, this crisis seems to have
been a blessing in disguise for it has
aroused the people of Fargo as they
have never been aroused before re-
garding Fargo college, and for the
first time in the history Of the school
the people are back of the institution"
But while there is plenty of enthu-
siasm and the plan to raise an endoW-
ment fund of $4,000 0 seems feasible
it still lacks one thing-momentum.
Here is where the opportunity comes
in. There is the need Of one big sub
stantial donation from some local mar
or m Just this n thing and
the success Of this movement will be
absolutely assured.
In every crisis there is always the
man of the hour" Here is the chance
for some public spirited person who
loves Fargo and has confidence in it's
future to make a name for himself
or herself that will live as long as
this city has a history to record.

Engineering News: The superin-
tendent Of street repairs of San Fran
cisco, Cal, has hit upon a method OF
removing the chief objection to
asphalt pavement, described as fol-
lows:
THE method of rendering the pave
ment less slippery Is by heating the
surface Of the asphalt and then apply
ing a layer of coarse sand, which is
rolled into the pavement, which af-
fords a sufficiently rough surface to
enable horses to keep their footing and
automobiles to pursue a straight
course i n wet weather. Experiments
with this pavement on Fell street, be-
tween Baker and Scott, and on Scott
street, between Fell and Waller, have
proved SO satisfactory that the city
officials have decided to extend its
use to other parts of the city.

Athens and Its Monuments,

The interest Of Athens is perennial
and the progress of research is con
stantly enlarging our knowledge. A
distinctly new book. Athens and It's

The salt should be added before

AS a rule one ounce Of salt TO

The object Of working butter Is
