The food trusts, no longer fearing reciprocity with Canada, have already boosted the price on flour, wheat, oats, breakfast foods and other articles. A ; ■winter of starvation should prepare the people for a platform of any kind that will reduce the cost of living. A general reduction of the tariff will be the only thing that will do it, and our ■ trust-starved millions can’t wait on a j report of a well-fed tariff board. The result of the election in Canada is really a puzzler. We confess that I we cannot understand how a nation of seven million people, can turn down the offer of ninety million to permit theia to extend their trade into our j midst. Certainly the exchange of j courtesy was in their favor. The papers of England still harp about Washington and his victory of over a cen- • tury ago and we believe that’s the real reason. This was the first opportunity ! the Canadians have had to express ; their feelings over the battle of Bunker l Hill, and they djjd it most emphati-: cally 1 .. "Mt In a heart-to-heart talk with Illinois politicians at Peoria, Friday. Presi- ; dent Taft, probably cast down over the ! result of the reciprocity election in Canada, unbosomed like a spoiled j child, confessing that the office of chief justice had been his ambition rather than the presidency, that he . had made many mistakes, that he was in the middle of the road, being neither a progressive or a conservative, and said he would go on to the “bitter j end.” If he expects to be re-elected to the highest office in the land by such a baby-plea as this, he is certainly proving that he is not a politician. The people have no use for a “booby.” POLICE COURT NEWS. James Evans, who says he is connected with a vaudeville troupe at the fair grounds, was taken up on a drunk ’ charge Thursday night by Policeman J Melchi and this morning drew the us- ( ual dollar and costs before the mayor. ~ — A full showing of Fail models in “Imperial” Hats awaits your critical viewing.
