These men are branded by the de- Ir partment as deserters. When the lists are completed it is the purpose of the government to post them in the public places throughout the country and to re- quest publication by the newspapers that the people may learn of those who proved untrue in the hour of il. ee this list which the war department labels men “deserters” or “traitors,” it does not vouch for ac- curacy. It admits the existence of all kinds of errors. It has been established already, beyond question that men designated as traitors are occupying honorable graves in France and others brought honor to the flag and ev< ed the highest decorations that are bestowed for v.):r, while still others served throughout the war and answered every test of*loyalty any Country eould ask of its subjects. The Tribune will not publish this list nor any part of it. It will do everything in its power to remove any cloud upon the record of any man wrongfully u eharged and stigmatized as deserter. The reasons for s vefusal to do this service for our own country and to Db gupply to readers an otherwise valuable matter of (© pews, are that the government of the. United States has no right to publish or post an inaccurate list of mames. It has no right to brand any man a deserter unless nroved so beyond doubt. It has less right to G label with a term of opprobrium an honorable sol- dier who did his duty. It has no shadow of right to put the burden of proof upon the soldier through er- P Tors, mistakes And carelessness in its own records. We 1 refuse to be party to any such injustice as will re- y sult from the publication the government contem- c § GRESM UY Beeurs eo plates. It is better a thousandfold that the entire list of slackers go unpunished than that one faithful and loyal soldier have the mark of dishonor -placed upon his name. We want traitors punished, slackers denounced, and cowards made to face their shame; but it is unthink- able that a brave soldier who has discharged, with fidelity, all of his duties of citizenship and faithfully z upheld the flag, should be even liable to the brand of : imiamy at the hands ef the government he served. Unless the war department reconsiders its deter- mination the lists will shortly be placed before the public. The Tribune columns are open to clear the record of any soldier who complied with the draft regulations or did his duty in the war, but they are not open to cast reproach upon him: —-—_-»-- A SUPERB DOCUMENT. Another very excellent piece of literature to come from the state immigration department is a neat fold- er conta g a complete resume of the state’s re- sources in which every section of the state is brought attractively to the front. It is the first adequate presentaion of Wyoming’s resources the state has ever published and its circulation will be of -inestimable value. An important feature of this publitation is a state map showing the public highways and other data brought down to date. . Commissioner Hill is again to be congratulated upon the production of a very superior and attractive work. a eee THE KILLING OF HUSBANDS. “There seems to be two acceptable methods of ob- taining divorce in this co observes the Chi- cago Tribune. “One is by way of the chancery court, the other by way of r’s jury or criminal court. “The alternative of course, not for husbands but for wives.

British ships ang under British insurance. American ship owners did not desire to reduce but they were drven to it by practices employed by British industrial concerns. . This calls to mind that the United States of Amer- jea has a long score to settle with British cotton man- |ufacturers. For nearly a century they have conspired in one way or another to injure American industry, particularly the cotton textile industry. The Man- chester manufacturers spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in support of the Cobden propaganda for free trade, with a view to combatting attempts on our part to protect our cotton mills from their competition. Failing in that they tried the dumping game and that was stalled off by protection. This was a warfare of the British mill against the American mill. It now appears that the British cotton manufac- turers, and perhaps other industries, are going out of their way to cripple an American industry which does not compete with them, but which does com- pete with British shipping.‘ This would seem to be a matter that congress should take under advisement. Great Britain has been the leader of the world’s shipping trade so long that her merchants appear to think she has established a prescriptive right to the high seas and that any nation that has the effrontery to question that right must be penalized for it. This is one of the most outrageous methods of coercion of which even British business aggression has been guilty. Some time ago section 24 of the Jones Merchant Marine law came to public notice by, the refusal of that Anglophile president, Mr. Wilson, to enforce it by the ebrogation of certain clauses in our commer- cial treaties. That section did no more than to au- thorize the president to give due notice of our inten- tion to terminate clauses which restricted the right of the United States to impose discriminating customs duties on imports entering in American vessels—a purely domestic piece of legislation, which Mr. Wil- son refused to carry out. Immediately Mr. Wilson was backed up by e' foreign nation which boasted shipping, and by all the internationalists with which the body politic is infested. Fave any of those tlemen protested the action of the British cotton spin- ners and manufacturers? Not at all. Anything that is done in good old England is quite the proper thing, but if we do anything to protect our interests, through legislation openly and decently secured these interna- tionalists make faces and call us hard names. If the United States should cut off Britain’s cot- ton supply as a retaliatory measure for this boycott of American shipping, there would be such a paralysis in the British cotton industry as they have not known since the days of the civil war. And if this latest game of British business is persisted in, retaliation in some form is quite within the range of possibilitie: for the merchant marine as well as the navy is en titled to its due. i ak eee Fs a BETTER. REPEAL IT. Let us see, we have upon our statute books a Canad- ian reciprocity act passed ‘back in 1911. It is true that it was never ratified by the Canadian par! ment, but it is still there to be ratified. It was brought to mind just a few days ago by a proposal for ratifi- cation by the Dominion parliamént and was only de- feated by a narrow margin. The matter came up in the form of an amendment to another measure, and it is if it had been in the form of a direct reso- lution would have carried. It is freely predicted in Canada that the faction now in control will be overthrown at the next election and those who come into power will be those who favor reciprocity. If such a situation develops the farmers and ranchers of the United States and Canada will be sending their products to each others’ market long before they ex- pected. We wonder if that is a prospect to which the Amer- ican farmer looks forward with pleasure? Democratic house and a Republican senate at a spe- cial sessibn called by a Republican president. It is generally accepted as Republican legislation; neverthe- less, some of the Republican leaders pf congress were bitter in their opposition to it, claiming that it trans- gressed the fundamental policy of Republicanism. The fact is that the farms of Canada have been de- veloped to such an extent in the past few years that their products far exceed the domestic demand, and either the planting must be curtailed or a big export market found. With free entry into the United States the problem of the Canadian farmer is solved at once, and he will exert himself. to raise and send to this country every pound or bushel of surplus foodstuffs that his land will produce. The effect on the Amer- ican farmer is easy to see. It is always difficult, and at the present time impossible, to find a domestic market for the disposal of all of our own agricultural products. The American farmer is described by his friends as the most unfortunate of creatures, inas- much as most of his products in recent months have been sold at a loss. With reciprocity between the United States and Canada an accomplished fact, prices of farm products would be hemmered down still further, many farms would be abandoned for mere grazing purposes and American agriculture as an industry would receive a blow from which it would not soon recover. ‘There is time for tongress to repeal the act of*1911 before Canada has an opportunity to ratify it and the forth- coming tariff bill offers a convenient vehicle for the repeal provision. Why not end the controversy by wiping the objectionable statute from the books? ee THEY KICK IN.
