WHY CANADA IS FOR WILSON.

Canada is hopeful that Woodrow
Wilson and a Democratic congress
will be elected in the United States
in the November elections.
Up in Winnipeg the British Trade
commission is conducting investiga-
lions and considering ways and
means for promoting Canadian and
British trade expansion. The COM
missions plan is to raise tariff wall
around Canada so high that few, if
any, products of American factories
will be able to get into the Canadian
market. At the same time it hopes
that Democratic success will con-
tinue in force the Underwood tariff
in this country so that Canadian
goods may be brought into our mar
kets at will, thereby giving Canada
the trade balance.
This kind of one-sided RECIPROCITY
is very pleasing to the Canadians
and the Underwood tariff already has
been of great benefit to them. In
trade experts the best thing that
could happen for Canadian agricul-
ture and industry would be a con-
tinuation of the Underwood tariff
here. A Democratic president and
Democratic congress would insure
this.
No such good fortune for Cana
dams can be sighted in case Charles
Evan Hughes and Republican con-
gross are chosen by the American vo-
tiers. While no one will blame the
Canadians for grabbing all the trade
they can, get, it is the self-interest of
American farmers and workingmen
to see that a Republican president
and congress- 20 into mower and make

versals of policies rather than the
Democratic party reversing it's poll
cies, for while there have been some
Democrats who have resisted the en-
croachments of executive authority,
he has so far dominated his party as
to be justly chargeable with it's
shortcomings.

To the Editor OF the Pioneer.
Dear Editor:
am mighty glad to see that the
Pioneer has permitted the use of it's
columns to man who dares to come
out against the ditch evil in this
county. 1 recently made trip
through the southern part of the state
where they made laughing stock Of
the system of ditch construction used
in the northern part of the state.
Charles Carter, who is the Repub-
lican (Non-Partisan) nominee for
house member, ought to win on that
stand alone. He has promised in one
Of his speeches, and heard him say
so, that he would do all he could to
change the ditch law from it's pres
ent form. The idea of permitting a
few men to mortgage our homes in
order that bitches might be built to
satisfy a few people is a big joke.
Bonds, bonds and more bonds. That's
all you hear when you go away from
home. It's our duty to stop this sort
of thing and to vote for men who
pledge themselves to do so.
Politics should never enter into
this matter. We are all affected if
we own property here. have been
through the ditch country where it
has done much good, but there is so
much hopeless ditching, where in a
short time it must all be done over
again that it's an absolute waste of
money.
I am sending this letter with my
check for two years to your paper.
Please send me receipt. If you wish
to use parts Of this letter you have
my permission. Hoping that you will
meet with success in the good work
you are undertaking, I am
Most sincerely,

The old squaw gave wild cry Of alarm. the
fierce "Yo-ho. .ee.hce!' that had once made
the Indian hunters blood run cold. The
tribe answered in wondering haste. She
pointed to Gloria and the vanishing horse.
The Seminoles divided and ran In various
directions to head her off. In few
moments the young chief himself leaped
from ambush and caught the horse by the
nose and ear. The old squaw was not far
behind and Gloria was dragged to the

from Seattle, in the Nrthern Pacific
freight yards near the Union station,
Tacoma, today, six or eight men cut
the air hose between cars in five
places, and cut the train in four sec

tureod two who. gave the names of
Sam Rusky and John Ross and their
nationality as Austrian. They were
held.
Conductor Mclaughlin said that while

of men tried to secrete themselves
aboard. The crew drove them away two
or three times Just as the train was to
pull out, the concerted attack was made.
Great Northern freight officers in Ia
coma said 1t was known that the train
carried a car or two Of automobiles for
shipment to Russia for war use and other
export goods, probably for war use, sent
