Canadian Reciprocity The new tariff deal, which empow- ers the president to make mutually beneficial import and export agree- ments with other countries, adjusting tariffs accordingly, opens the way to new consideration of closer relations with Canada. It was in 1911 that President Taft tried to engineer a reciprocity treaty with Canada. It was passed by con- gress, but later rejected by the Do- minion government. Now it is reported that Canada again is exploring the possibilities of such arrangement. With the com- pletely new view of foreign trade which now prevails throughout the world, there are possibilities here. Five years ago the United States ‘and Canada carried on the greatest two-nation commerce in the world. ‘Today there must still be vast possi-, bilities for trade between us, which will be equally advantageous to both. Certainly no two nations are more closely linked by geography and every consideration of true neighborliness that should enable them to help each other in trade, ‘There is reason to believe that, mong the many trade proposals which will be put before President Roosevelt under his new tariff pow- ers, one of the first will be plans for wider and mutually beneficial trade with Canada. No Matter How Humble— Robert Jones has been saved from death on the gallows, and will get @ new trial. You never heard of Robert Jones? He is just an obscure negro down in Mississippi. He shot and killed a Police officer who tried to enter Jones’ home while searching for the source of a pistol shot. Now certain of our radical friends will tell you that no southern negro has a ghost of a chance in a case like that. He might escape lynching, but certainly would stand no chance to escape prompt execution. But the supreme court of Missis- sippi felt otherwise. It found that the dead peace officer was beyond his rights in trying to enter Jones’ home without a proper warrant. It reversed the lower courts and order- ed ® new trial for Robert Jones. “The appellant was in his home,” the court said, “and no person or officer had a right to enter except in strict accordance with the law. No matter how humble—a man’s home is his castle...” Justice is not always the ghastly travesty some of our critics like to make it. In many cases it deals even- ly and cleanly—even to the most humble, ‘He Jests at Scars...’ ‘The supreme tragedy of the world ts that nobody really learns anything except by experience—and then it is too late. John Killeen, state commander of the Michigan G. A. R., was talking about the long-proposed but never- accomplished joint convention be- tween Union and Confederate vet- erans. “It's not that we veterans hold any grudge against each other,” Killeen said. “But the younger generation and the women folk would never stand for it. They think we fought in the old days, and should still feel like fighting.” Killeen, who bears the scar of a saber wound received at Cedar Creek, adds, “I'd like to shake the hand of the fellow who wounded me, and tell him I respect him as a good soldier and a better hand with the saber than I was... .” And there you have it. The younger generation, it seems, cannot know until it finds it out itself, the mutual of how to grow vegetables or flowers or trees, how to make a garden or landscape a lawn. Every man is better equipped for life with this knowledge, and better off for even so shallow a contact with Mother Earth. Many a school system might profitably adopt this plan. Barrel-Chested Bunk Skinny youths who aspire to the barrel-chested bulk of a heavyweight wrestler might just as well forget all about it, says Dr. C. A. Harper, state health officer of Wisconsin. It looks it doesn’t necessarily mean a thing. ‘The barrel-chested man may be just as susceptible to tuberculosis or other pulmonary diseases as the flat- chested one, says the iconclastic doc- tor. Lung space and expansion is impor- tant, but the man with a long thin chest may have just as much lung ca- pacity as the one who looks like a pouter pigeon, and the thin-chested fellow, if well-proportioned and well- nourished, may be just as strong as the big fellow. So there you are, and don’t worry if you don’t bulge. Langer supporters propose to appeal his conviction to the court of public opinion, because it didn’t hear the ing it by appeals to prejudice. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies, A Governor Convicted (Minneapolis Tribune) While the immediate interest fol- lowing the conviction of Governor Lenger of North Dakota on a federal charge may center in a dispute over his right to continue to hold office, the verdict and the case itself are of. historic importance. Governor Lan- ger and four of his associates were brought to trial charged with defraud- ing the government by obtaining con- tributions from federal relief employes fcr political purposes, a felony under federal law. This conviction is the first under this particular charge and one of the few instances in American history in which a governor had been convicted of a felony. In his charge to the jury Judge Andrew Miller defined the importance of the case when he declared that “it involves the question of whether the supreme laws of the United States be carried out honestly or whether they will be interfered with—thwarted by “a corrupt administration of individ- wals who have to do with the admin- istration of laws.” Although the evi- dence showed that perhaps not more than $180 had been actually obtained in contributions from federal em- Pioyes, the system of levies upon em- Pioyes was admitted to be common practice when applied to state work- ers. The defense admitted that state employes had been solicited to pay five per cent of their annual salary for establishing a newspaper but denied there had been a conspiracy to de- fraud the government or to perform any illegal act. Whatever may be the fortunes of Governor Langer and the final ver- dict in this particular case, it would seem that a vicious system of building campaign funds through a levy on the employes of a state has been exposed and emphatically condemned in this trial. While it is not news that the appointees of a particular adminis- tration contribute to its financial sup- port, it can hardly be said that build- ing a@ political fund has often been reduced to so crass a formula. The in- dictment charged that employes had given to understand that unless they subscribed “they would or might lose their jobs or have salaries re- duced.” Langer may have overzealousness i F = 5 a8 g A Governor’s Plight (Duluth Herald) A governor has a great deal of power within his own state if he chooses to use it in an emergency, but Governor Langer of North Da- kota seems to have made the mistake of trespassing into the fields of Fed- eral authority.

Cryptorchidism is the medical term for it. Of 260 boys from 9 to 19 years of age in @ school in St. Paul eleven were found to have the same defect of development. Probably the condition would be much more fre- quent than these figures indicate if & general investigation of a large number of boys were made. Heretofore the tendency or practice has been to regard this as a rather serious condition, and to urge surgi- cal interference in early boyhood. However, spontaneous correction of the defect occurred in nine out of the eleven cases in the St. Paul school, at the age of ten years, eleven years, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and in one case in the sixteenth year. One of the older ideas of physicians was that if this condition, chidism, was not operated on, the un- descended testicle was likely to un- dergo malignant or cancerous change eventually. But experience has shown that there was no foundation for that notion. It is not now regarded as an indication for operation. The operation for bringing the tes- tis down to its proper place is by no means always successful. Indeed it is completely successful in only about one-third of the cases where operation is done. From a thoro investigation of this subject Dr. Carl B. Drake of St. Paul concludes that in the majority of cases of undescended testicle in boyhood spontaneous descent occurs by the age of fourteen years, but sometimes is delayed to the age of fifteen or even sixteen. He quotes a remark made by a Dr. E. D. Newell in a recent article in a surgical journal on the “Ideal Opera- tion” for undescended testicle. Said Dr. Newell: A legend prevails in the South that operation for undescended testicle should be delayed until after puberty, as the testis will probably descend at or just after puberty. “When we consider what little found- ation such a legend has in fact and what perfect opportunity there has and refutation, it is profoundly de- pressing that this legend should con- tinue to exist among medical men.” To that Dr. Drake replies: “On the contrary, it seems to me remarkable that the truth of this legend has not been generally appreciated by the medical profession.” Be of good cheer, folks.

By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, June 20."— The brain power of the Brain Trust still goes unmeasured, Secretary Wallace has been heard to suggest that Dr. Rex Tugwell hasn’t any more brains than some of the other fellows who run AAA— though he credits the young man with the warmest, most sympathetic heart. More light on that point might now shine if the senators who took Tug- ‘well over the jumps before the Agri- culture committee, prior to his ap- proval as under-secretary of agricul- ture, had been competent to match ‘wits with the handsome, smooth pro- fessor from Columbia. North Carolina led the assault. They floundered about in a maze of Tug- wellian quotations and the doctor’s verbal answers on the spot, tried vainly to put. words in his mouth, made heated stump speeches in sheer desperation, and spent so much time bickering and getting all mixed up that Tugwell didn’t have to be bril- Mant—not even once. He needed to be only cool, patient, polite, and helpful. He might as well have left his brains at home.
