If President Taft succeeds in his efforts to have congress ratify the treaty calling for reciprocity with Canada, it will mean that for the first time in the history of either the United States or Canada, there will be a free exchange of goods between the two. To the housewife this would mean cheaper meat and many other kinds of foodstuffs and as the duties now exacted on such commodities would be in nearly all cases remov- ed or so nearly removed that it would cheapen many classes of goods. SOOOOPOOOOO: @ There is objection on the part of some of the representatives from the Northwest in Congress to the treaty on the grounds that Minnesota and other Northwestern states would lose as a result of such action be- cause it would cheapen the products raised in this part of the country. The Minnesota senators are as yet unpledged to the proposed recipro- city. Senator Clapp has expressed 1o opinion on the agreement, reserv- ing the right to examine with the greatest care the provisions of the agreement before announcing his de- cision. Senator Nelson refuses to comment on the agreement although he discusses the subject freely. In one dispatch from Washington he is said to have told a visitor that he had received a letter from a man ‘whom Mr. Nelson described as “one of the prominent Republicans of Minnesota”. The senator’s corres- pondent entered violent protest to the agreement and made the predic- tion that as the result Minnesota would send a delegation to the next Republican national convention hos- tile to President Taft. This probably does not reflect the true sentiment of the state as the fair minded person must admit that the president is sincere in his efforts, efforts that are along the same line ag those made by President McKin- ley, whose last address on the day of his assassination at Buffalo included a plea for Canadian reciprocity. PLAYING WITH FIRE. From $800 to $1,600 a year isn’t very big pay for any kind of work requiring expert training. Add to this the dangers incident to being whirled over railroads in flimsy cars of cheapest: construction ~—hooked to the locomotive; the peril point of any train. Then stop to consider what it means for & man to carry around in his ‘head a definite knowledge as to how all mail should be routed, which means that he must. remember not only the‘names‘of every postoffice in three or more states; but must con- tinually “study up”’ new territory and pass frequent examinations for efficiency. Think what all this means. Then take a peek at the “economy” of Postmaster General Hitchcock, who finds that, in order to carry the tons and tons of free matter dis- gorged in the mails of Washington by members of congress, he must force the mail clerks to do the extra work without extra remuneration. It is all well enough for the post- master general and his lieutenants to talk of “insubordination” but:the amazing part of it all is that the mail clerks have not turned and asserted their rights before this. As it is, the government has play- ed with fire until somebody is going to get scorched. The publlé has become more and more out of sympathy with labor strikes and labor discords, but that is because of the doubtful methods employed by both sides. like the mail men’s present contro- versy it is at once a question of the government paying decent wages to a hard working set of men, who daily take their lives in their hands by sorting their mail in egg shell cars, and to.them is due the prompt delivery service of the United States mail system. Every ounce of pressure that can be brought to bear in favor of the mail carriers should, for humanity and as an insurance against a de- moralized mail service, be brought at the earliest possible moment. I WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY l They All Know Walsh. T. J. Walsh, the Duluth mining man, recently received a newspaper from Denver, which was addressed as.follows: “T. J. Welsh, Northern A marked item in the paper clearly established that the paper was intended for the man to whom it was delivered. way mail eclerk, Minnesota.” Some rail- presumably, had written on the wrapper,“ Everybody knows Tommy."” letter that was sent out from a dis- tant city and addressed to him at Eveleth. The fact that a paper ad- dressed to a man in “Northern Min- nesota” should be received by the right party would appear to establish that there is little danger of Mr. ‘Walsh’s mail going astray. Usual Amount of Nothing. The short session is nearly half gone and the usual amount of noth- ing has been triumphantly achieved. —Pittsburg Dispatch. Getting Into Office. Just listen to some of the senators abusing Lorimer! Then turn around and see how that same senator got his job. It is a safe bet that it was either for a cash consideration or by a deal for appointive places.—Pine County Pioneer. Not Good War Paint An exchange suggests that it is possible that the Indians have, dur- ing the drouth, lost the desire for anything stronger than pale tea. Let us hope that Lo’s craving will demand nothing stronger than red ink or printer’s ink.—Red Lake Falls Gazette. State Aid for County Fairs, The Minnesota legislature -will be asked to double the appropriation made for the ald of the county fairs.| It is a difficult matter to make a county fair self sustaining, especi- ally where the county is thinly settled and the appropriation at the present is not sufficient to permit of offering premiums which will as- sure - the best exhibits possible. County fairs are one of the best aids to progress and developement, if successful, and to be successful other- wise, they must be successful finan- cially.—Park Rapids Clipper. The Imported Article. It is strange that our state fair management should find it sary to send to Iowa for a secretary for our fair.

MAY FORCE:EXTRA SESSION Unless ‘Action : Is ‘Taken on Lorimer Case, the Permanent Tariff Board; Direct Election of Senators and the Service Pension Bill He Proposes to Tie Up the Regular Appropriation| ' Washington, ‘Feb. .2.—Unless : the senate votes at this session on the Lorimer case, the resolution pertain-| ing to the election of senators by the people, the bill to create a permanent tariff board and a general service pen- sion bill Senator Norris Brown of Ne: braska and some of his colleagues whe favor the measures named are deter- mined that appropriation bills also shall fail. Senator Brown, from the floor of the senate, said he had no quarrel with the “rule” that appropriation acte come first, but that he would object tc its application in light of the present emergency, unless it is agreed in ad- vance that there shall be votes on the four propositions named before ad: journment. “This is not said as a threat mno1 in the nature of an ultimatum,” said Senator Brown. “I am stating a sim- ple fact and it is well, with only four working weeks ahead of us, that we understand now what the fact is in that regard. If congsess . adjourns without action on these measures con: gress‘ will adjourn without action on some of the appropriation bills.” Failure ‘of any one of the regular appropriation bills would necessitate an extra session of congress. Red Light District Wiped Out. Butte, Mont., Feb. 2.—At midnight Butte’s red light district, one of the sights of this mining camp since its earliest days, was wiped out of ex- istence. AIl the owners of resorts had been notified to close at 12 o’clock or go to jail. When a squad of officers descended upon them at 12:10 o’clock the zone was in comvlete darkness. Rheumatism Comes From Bad Kidneys Once Your Kidneys Work Properly, Rheumatism;: Kidney Disease and Bladder Trouble Disappear. How To Cure Yourself. It is no longer necessary to spend months and months undergoing a com- plicated treatment for rheumatism, kidney or bladder trouble, or spend a £00d many dollars in doctors’ bills, A new treatment can now be ob- tained which seems.to act more like a marvel than a medicine. This_treat- ment has produced such satisfactory results in a short time that it is now guaranteed from first to last. There should be no more doubt about the rapid cure of rheumatism, no fears of the fatal termination of treacherous kidney disease or dropsy. Rheumatism means nothing more nor less than that vour kidneys do not work properly. = Your blood passes through the kidneys hundreds of times a day to be filtered and purified. When the kidneys are weak, the poisons are not taken out of the blood as they should be. This leads to various dis- eases, such as rheumatism, terrible Bright's disease, diabetes, dropsy and bladder trouble. The new guaranteed treatment is Dr. Derby's Kidney Pills. One day's use of them will prove their remarkable eftect. M. T. Ridenour of Lima, Ohio, says: “When T feel bad in my back, I just take a couple of Derby's Kidney Pills and get immediate relief.” 1t you have rheumatism anywhere, back pains, cloudy. foul urine, pains in the bladder, Bright's disease or dia- betes,-put vour whole confidence in Dr. Derby’s Kidney Pills, and you will not be disappointed. Dr. Derby's Kidney Pills are sold at all drug stores—60 pills—10 days’ treat- ment—25 cents, or we will send them direct from the laboratory of Derby Medicine Co..
