Joy in Canada.

Ex-President Taft was roundly de
nounced, when in office, for his par'
in the Canadian reciprocity agree
ment, which was rejected by the vot-
ers OF the Dominion. much to the
satisfaction OF American farmers, es-
pecially in states bordering on the
Canadian line. But the farmers OF
Canada will more than make up what
was lost by its rejection when the
new Democratic Tariff law goes in
TO force. That is the opinion of a
Monteal paper which opposed the
agreement. In a late issue II says:
Wilson, Underwood ct al, are ex-
tren,ely popular this morning over

Baseball News.

The best game by far of this season
for the local fans was pulled off here
Saturday afternoon. when Hartford
defeated Island Station TO the tune
of 9 to 3. Island boys had come here
with the reputation of being the best
team in Mclean county, and IT is
true they played a good game, but
our boys were just too much for
them. Until the first half of the 9th
inning 1t was a shut out game, fav-
oring Hartford. but like all winning
teams, the Hartford bunch were not
quite as careful. and the Visitors
were on the Quiveve. hence the three
scores made by Island in the ninth
inning. The lineup of the teams were
as follows:

and Progressives IS. ]. seems very
likely that the two Democrats Sena-
tors from Louisiana will vote with
the Republicans against the bill on
account of the sugar schedule which
places sugar on the free list at the
end Of three years. Then il two more
Democrats can be induced to vote
against the bill on account of free
scol. the bill will then be defeated.
However, II is not likely that four
Democratic Senators will vote against
the bill.
President Wilson has sent out a
scare throughout the country claim
ing that there is "a terrible lobby
az work in Washington trying TO de-
feat his yet tariff bill. The fact of
II is that whenever a Tariff bill is
pending before Congress those in
terests that are effected by the pro-
posed tariff always send represen-
tstives OF Washington to prevent
legislation that would be harmful TO
their business. This, however, seems
10 be nothing more than right. Even
way back in the days of Daniel Web
ster Congress decided that the peo-
pie had a right TO be heard before
Congress and to petition the same.
President Wilson is particularly
anxious that a currency law shall be
passed at this session, but his Demo-
cratic cotnpatriots are rather shy
of this large subject. The fact OF it
is, that our currency is the most i'm
portant subject before the country
today. and those Juvenile Democrat
ic statesmen are anxious for the cur
rency measure TO go over until the
regular session in December so that
they can study up on the A b C's of
finances. President Wilson is help
ing Leader Underwood TO pick out
the brightest chaps in the present
Congress TO serve on the Committee
on Banking and Currency in the hope
that they will prepare and pass cur
rency Bill that will enable the cur
rency TO freely expand in accordance
with the requirements of business.
The value of currency is not increas-
ing in proportion TO the increase of
business and a larger volume is de-
manded by the business OF the
country.

. proceeded TO do the town. Having

vigilant town Marshal ]. p. Stevens,
who placed them under arrest and
started with them to Police Judges
office. At the foot Of the stairs one
Of the prisoners resisted and it was
necessary for the marshal to use
force and to summon a bystander TO
assist him. While overpowering the
man a pistol was exposed in his

found concealed on his person. Here
were four distinct offenses or viola
tons of the law, shooting on the
public highway, drunk and disorderly,

s25 and 10 days in Jail by Judge

in town wondered why this was done
after our brave Marshal, who always
tries TO do his duty, no matter what
the danger, had risked his life in
making the arrest and had been as
sisted by Mr.. John Taylor. who also
showed good pluck in responding TO
his call for aid, at great risk. The

for good plays is enormous. and it is said that dur

The industry has also been responsible for the
coinage of a new word. the word movies" We
don't know just who coined this word but suspect
that it originated with some bright fellow who
writes the heads" for daily paper. In writing
these heads it becomes necessary to make the cap
ton brief. and at the same time have it convey a
good general outline of the story which it heads.
The type used is of large size. and only a given
number of letters can be placed in each line The

While the people Of Columbus seem to be d.
vided regarding many matters. they all apparently
agree on one thing and that is the urgent need for
better railroad facilities. Our only hope appears
to lie in the proposed Memphis, Columbus and Gulf
railroad for which Columbus and other cities along
the line voted donations for right of way and
terminal facilities some time ago.
Nothing has been heard of this project for
several months, but the Commercial learns that
the reason tt rat it has remained dormant lies in the
fact that Mr.. G. T. Heard, the priacipal promoter
of the enterprise, has been ILL., Mr.. Heard has
been in bad health practically ever since cold
weather set in and has been unable to transact any
business, but it is understood that he is improving,

its normal state it is believed that activities in be-

While many American industries have grown

advanced so rapidly as that of producing and pre-

years ago that the machine for producing moving
pictures was invented, and now capital amounting
to hundreds of thousands of dollars is invested and
an army Of men and women are engaged in making
and presenting the pictures which are shown each
day in nearly all parts of the civilized world.
