FARMERS AND RECIPROCITY
dian Pact Is Of Decided Inter
est to All.

Just where the farmers stand on
the question Of repeating the Cana
dian reciprocity pact now on the stat
| ute books. lest the Canadians should
| some day wake up and ratify it, is OF
decided interest to all classes. what.
| ever their own occupation. A recent

tends to confer. That the article
presents the actual feeling OF the
farmers in general there can be no
doubt and 1t Is quoted herewith In
full:
There can be no consideration Of
does not at the outset contemplate
wiping the Canadian reciprocity deal
off the statute books; and in pressing
this point the farmers must insist
upon their fundamental right. Placed
there by president VIGOROUSLY un.
sympathetic with the farmers inter.
ests, action is now awaited by a new
president who has lost no opportu
nifty to express his friendliness to-
wards the agricultural people, and
whose public record, SO far as he has
had one, has amply borne out his
friendly assurances. So long as the
reciprocity pact stands upon the stat
ute books Of this country, 1t consti
tutes menace to every farmer in the
United States, and, therefore, to the
nation as a whole. Standing firmly
upon the fundamental principle Of
square deal. the farmers of this coun'
try demand the immediate repeal OF
the Canadian reciprocity pact, which
violates absolutely and completely
every element Of that principle, so far
as the millions of farmers of the
United States are concerned. Repeal
must come-every phase Of justice
and fair play demands 1t.
Naturally one of the first moves OF
the new Wilson administration will
be tariff revision and a special session
of congress for that purpose has al
ready been arranged. In that revision
the farmers of this country are vitality
concerned and with intense eagerness
will the program of revision be scan
ned But the chief concern Of the
farmer is not so much along what
lines revision shall be made. so long
as 1t is fairly made: that If any
change of schedule shall lower the
market price Of what he has to sell
then that there shall be CORE
spending lowering on something
which he has to buy-herein lies the
principle of the square deal and the
only demand which the farmers as a
class ever make. President Wilson
has addressed many farmers gather
ings the past year, has discussed
frankly the farmers problems and
their needs, and has never hesitated
to put emphasis upon exactly the
principle of fairness enunciated above.
What shall now be his record of per
Torrance towards the interests of the
farmers is the chapter that remains to
be written"

J. I. BARNETT IS RECOMMENDED FOR COMMITTEEMAN
Local Players
Make Good in
Big Contests

Grand Junction wearers OF the
moleskins made good with venge-
ance in the football games over the
country Saturday. Not only did the
Tigers triumph over their opponents
in Fruita with weakened team, but
three former local players were stars
in contests on bigger gridirons.
Carroll Knowles, clinching his "Y"
and place on the Yale varsity, made
three touchdowns for Ed Eli when
she met La Fayette U and won by a
score of 27 to 0. The light half
back played smashing game and
was good for gains any time he got
the ball, according to press reports.
Phip McCary of Boulder went
against the heavy alumni team there
Saturday and was responsible for
most of the big games. MeCary has
practically assured himself of place
in the varsity backfield.
One of the surprises yesterday.
however, was the success of Shorty"
Ross. the paperweight quarterback,
on the Colorado Springs Tigers. He
was substitute for Balch and when
the latter was injured in the third
quarter Ross took his place and sig
nalized his appearance in regulation
orange and black by a 60-yard run,
being tackled on the Wyoming 10
yard line. He was the sensation of
the day and did more than his share
during the time he was on the field
in totalling up the 40 to 0 score. by
which the cowboys were defeated.
Shorty" was deemed to be too
light to make good with the Grand
Junction team, bnt he is certainly
wading his way through the opposi-
tion on his way I'd a regular place In
directing the Springs squad.
With quarterback Rhone out of the
game the local team had rather
hard time with the Fruita squad Sat
urday afternoon but won Z to 0. Tho
forward passes did not work very
good but were used continually as
practice. Oldfashioned football
would have won s1ih a better score
had 1t been used as the Fruita line
could hardly have withstood the
plunges of the locals backfield.
However, the rehearsal with the long
toss was worth lot to the Orange
and Black. Chapman made the only
touchdown. Audrey Stong directed
the team from quarterback.

Women Reorganize
Protective League

About two hundred representative
mothers held very earnest meeting
at the Methodist church yesterday af-
ternoon and after listening to a stir
ring address by DR.. D. d. Forsyth of
Denver. reorganized the Woman's
Home Protective league, which per-
formed such valiant service in the
last wet and dry fight here.
Mrs. Emma d. Chester was elected
president of the league. Mrs. Emma
Budelier vice president. and Mrs. C.
X. Holmburg secretary. The ladies'
began at once to form plans for a
very active campaign and expect to
eclipse in every way the records of
former campaigns until on election
they will have every block
in the city in "the palm OF the hand"
as 1t were. knowing just what they
can expect from every voter. Block
by block the work will be conducted.
DR.. Forsyth's address was very
forceful and told the ladies pres
ent that they could not merely carry
the election: but that II they so will
ed 1t, they could become so active
that they would drive out the boot
leggers, by continually visiting the
mayor and police headquarters and
making things hum in the prosecu-
tion of law violators. making the
lives of bootleggers exceeding haz-
ardous and consequently miserable.

The robbery of the home Of Fred
Barber and son, Rex Barber. on Or
chard Mesa last Friday night, adds
to the long list Of robberies which
has startled the community the last
four or five weeks. The Barber home
was robbed of jewelry and clothing
to the value of about 3125.
The police are unable to get any
clews tangible enough to work on
apparently and the matter OF getting
n skilled detective here at once from
the east to run down the thieves, who
seem to be well organized and adept
in their work, is being talked up by
local people. who are willing to pay
for such services for the general well
fare of the city.
The attitude of the police and the
work they do In trying to run down
the culprits cannot be criticized as
they have their regular beats to look
after and protect and cannot give the
same amount OF time to case that
a detective could. Therefore the
the matter of getting q high-prieed
man here to rid the city Of the band
OF thieves Is of particular Importance
just now.
OF late at least dozen homes have
been completely ransacked and val
uables taken promiscuously. The n.

The giant minister, with magne-

cussion Of statistics about the sue
cess of prohibition. Kansas and
Maine were pointed out as shining
examples of the result of the cessa-
