It was rejected by the .voters of Canada, who defeated the great Laurier Canadian Premier for many years, in order to maintain the high tariff wall between the two countries.
 Probably vast majority of the American people still favor free trade between the United States and Canada provided it could be arranged in such way that Canada would be gateway through which other nations might flood the United States with cheaply produced commodities However, in view of the history of the attempt reciprocity ten years ago, the initiative another time should come from our Canadian friends Let Canada ask for reciprocity and it would probably be granted Hst Next to Great Britain Canada is Americas best customer Last year the total trade between this hccuntry and Canada amounted to s1583642,511. The balance of trade favor of the United States was $360 065 675-almost twice the amount of the bal ance of trade in our in commerce with the entire world These figures and the knowledge that the figures this year and those for the year be- fore show that the condition bids fair to be fixed unless something is done upset it should oe warn ing Americans fair and generous in her deal ings with Canada We cannot afford to treat good manner, and in fairness ought not to want to do

Steese Spells Efficiency.

Anchorage Times.)
 The wisdom of entrusng big projects to the army better displayed than in placing man like Colonel James c. Steese at the head of the Alaska Road Commission and the Geodetc Survey as it ap- plies to navigable streams Unlike most executive positions Colonel Steese employs his time in keeping closely in touch with everything that is going on, having time for dress uniform only while passing through cities The remainder of his time is spent on the trails and in the far places where improve ments under way contemplated. The result has been that Alaska is receiving the greatest forward movement in road building in it's history. With a splendid grasp of needs, and always with a ready for those having something practical to suggest Colonel has secured action where ordinarily long periods of time would have been consumed.
 It is this kind of work that is hastening the day in Alaska and the sort that evokes full appreciation from the public
 Colonel Steese has been honored by every allied and associated nation in the late and has more letters to his name, if he cared to them, than most royalties. His work in Alaska gives insight into why he appreciated in Europe and is being appreciated in Alaska. ~

FORT COLLINS, Colo, Aug. 30.-- Declaring that there is danger that the white race in America may be driven from the land by Japaneee, in the same manner as the white dis placed the redmen, Professor Thomas Nixon Carver, Harvard economist made a plea here for restriction of Japanese immigration into this country.
 Professor Carver lectured here un der the auspices of the summer school of the Colorado Agricultural College, taking for his subject "In- ternational Competition in Farm Products"
 "The Indian, in most instances, was not driven off his land by force, D Professor Carver said, "but sold his land to the white man and moved on, as the land was of greater value, economically to the energetic whites than to the indifferent Indians"
 When one race can live so much more cheaply than another that it can afford to pay more for the land it will gradually acquire the land and the other race will move off, accord ing to Professor Carver with this condition already offering a prob lem in California;" he said, "there is nothing to prevent us going the way of the Indian, for the Japanese far mer can do the same to the white farmer that the whites did to the h. dians years ago and cultivate the land much more economically, thus forcing the whites to move on
 Something must be done immedi- ately to restrict Japanese immigra tion,' the professor concluded. And it is just as well to observe our line fences as we can be more peaceable neighbors if we do this"
 Professor Carver urged the neces- sity of an amicable agreement be- tween the United States and Japan that would restrict immigration of Japanese into this country.
