IVATSOH Ml HI A FAMILIAR ROLE

Will Stump West to Arouse Farmers Against Canadian Reciprocity. A WAR ON PRESIDENT Has Been Started by Standpatters Because of the Treaty He Prepared. Washington? Jan. SO. After consulting with Speaker Cannon, former ltopresontative James K. Watson, of Indiana, loft Washington last night oi the hurried trip to Topcka, Kansas, where ho will try to tear President Taft's Canadian reciprocity treaty into shreds In a speach which ho will niako Tuesday. This specb will be in effect the rallying cry of the "Old Guard" against the ratification of the treaty. Watson was formerly wfclp of the hotuft under Speaker Cannon and is the Speaker's closest friend and most trusted political emissary. The kind of speech he will mal e will bo calculated to set the farmers ot the West on fire against the reciprocity agreement. He will seek in point out how the farmers are hit by t'io agreement and how their products aro discriminated against In favor of manufactured products of all kinds which are not touched by the agreement. It Is predicted that Watson's speech will make the line of cleavage between Ibe President and the standpatters in regard to Canadian reciprocity clear and distinct. "Old Guard" Wars on Taft. Evidently the standpatters have started out to jpsge war to the lat t ditch on the President's reciprocity program. Watson's speech will be delivered before the Kansas Day club at a banquet Tuesday night in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of Kansas statehood. Ills decision to speak on Canadian reciprocity was an eleventh hour suggestion, and It Is believed to Indicate that the standpatters saw a chance to set the pralrlo aflame eafleV AnnnatltlAM Ka m ' neat ... Defore leaving Washington Mr. Watson outljned what he Intends to sav in his speech.. Tho statement -which he gave out undoubtedly set fort'u olJectlons . which . Speaker, Cnnon and the senate stat.dpatters hold against tho treaty, although the therisclves tme not' been 'interviewed. It U as follows: . "This propote-l treaty cannot get Into tffect without pulling down the entire citadel of protection. I have great regard for President Taft. as iv man and as a President, and I am exceedinclv loval in his Arfminlutrntl.ui. and yet I canot find It In my heart to support him In this movement. This treaty is a confession that the Republican party was . wrong when it passed the Payne tariff law, because conditions have not changed since then. It it is right now It was right then, and It ought to have been acted as a part of the Payne law or In connection with It. "It Is not only a confession that the enactment ot that law was unjust, but that It, was InlQultlous. . Dtad Against Protection. "This treaty,' Is absolutely : at variance with the doctrine of protection as advocated by the Republicans from Lincoln's day to this hour.' Unless the whole policy of protection as advocated by the Republican party be wrong. If this policy be right with reference to Canada it Is right with reference, to every other nation. "If It be right In providing free trade in farm products It would be right as applied to all manufactured products. It means free trade on nil of the products of the farm, and at the isame time a high tariff on all ot the products of the factory. . The President states tRat the object ot the treaty la to reduce tho cost of living In this country. If it docs reduce the cost ot living. It ot necessity Gives a "sunshiny" feeling 4 W.ww.t,.,,,,..

reduces the prices which fanners will receive for their products. If It docs not reduce the cost of living, then the President and congress, If the treaty becomes effective, will hand a gold brick to the people in the cities. Hy view is that the farmer Is not now re

ceiving too great a reward for capital invested and labor bestowed on bis product. .. ' "There is an erroneous Impression, furthermore that the newspapers are favored by this proponed agreement, but they are not. A thorough reading of the treaty shows that It does not give free print paper." Look for Caskey Stock Sale ad. on page 6. 27&30 SEEKING TO RECALL 1 Mayor of SpokaneWashington, Now. , . (Amrrltan News Hcrvkc) San Franc isco, Cal., Jan. 30. This city today became the scene of the legal skirmishing In connection with the fight that Is being waged by the Seattle reformers to bring about the recall of Mayor Hiram C. Gill or that city. In tho United States circuit court of appeals the caso of Frank II. Scobey and others against City Comptroller, W. J. Dothyell of Seattle, to enjoin the payment of warrants issued to defray the expenses of the special election railed for February 7 to vote on the .Mayor's recall, came up for argument. The suit was brought to tent the legality of the special election. The outcome of the fight Is awaited with keen interest, owing largely to the fact that the contest is the only oue of its kind in the history of Ameri can municipalities, with the exception of that which resnlted in the recall of the Mayor of Los Angeles several years ago.- Los Angeles was the first city to Insert the "recall" provision in its charter and the success with which it was employed there has led to Its adoption by many other cities during the past few years. A CHURCH SERVICE IS HELD AT JAIL Religious services were held at the county Jail on Sunday afternoon by tho Rev. Mac!:, pastor of the Third M. E. church. He was assisted by R. J. Wlgmore. His subject was "Christ Died that the World Might Be Saved." , Romance of a Shadow. It is bard to believe that a shadow Is probably the origin of all astronomical, geometrical and geographical science.. The first man who fixed his stall perpendicularly in the ground and measured Its shadow was the earliest computer of time, and the Arab of today who plants his spear in the sand and marks .where the shadow falls is his direct descendant. It Is from the shadow of a gnomon that the early Egyptians told the length of the year. It is from the shadow of a gno- i mon that the inhabitants of upper Egypt still measure the hours of work for a water wheel. In this case the gnomon Is n Ihurra stalk supported on forked uprights and points north and south. Kast and west are pegs In the ground evenly marking the space of earth between sunrise and sunset. In a land ot constant sunshine a shadow was the primitive chronometer. It was also the primitive footrule. LonSoo T. fTs Weekly. Men With Grtsn Hair. .

PROVIDING WORK IS BKTCHARITY Says Big and Jovial Heir of the . Richest Woman, Mrs. Hetty Green. New York. Jan. 30. Edwin H. R. Green, the big son of the richest woman in the world, who has come to New York to become the active manager of his mother's vast - interests, has conceived a big Idea concerning the handling of those Interests. This was brought out during an Interview with the jovial ex-Texan.

"Colonel," sand the reporter, "your mother's wealth is estimated at upward of $100,000,000. Now, statisticians tell that wealth which Is being constantly loaned out and turned over and invested in enterprises such as the Green fortune is concerned in earns a maximum rate of 10 per cent a year. Thus your 1100,000,000 of to day soon becomes $200,000,000 or $400,000,000. Now. arn't you afraid this almost Inconceivable amount ot wealth centralized in one person's hands .will throttle . competition and threaten the economic independence of the country," Green Not Afraid. "No, I believe that my own and my mother's fortune under our manipula tion will become a positive source of good for the whole country," he said. "It is true that it will increase in amount perhaps in 'the proportion you suggest. But this wealth will ben efit the whole country. It Is a well known axiom in economics that the creation of new wealth benefits everybody. It is like making corn grow in arid spots. I might compare wealth that . is - out working creating new wealth to the loam deposited by the Nile which enriches the whole terrl tory through which the river flows. - "I might endow charities or bestow millions upon various philanthropies, But I have learned that inherited wealth Is put to its best use when it creates the greatest- number of life Jobs rather than when it satisfies the hunger of a day. It is true that this wealth of ours will benefit us when we create new wealth with it, but it will also vastly benefit thousands upon thousands of other Americans. "I employ several thousand men upon my properties in Texas alone all beneficiaries of the life job theory. We have .also properties in other parts of the country mines and mill and manufactories, and stocks and bonds in every railroad in the coun try. I suppose we have a large-sized hand in individual businesses that em ploy perhaps 100,000 men. This means that 500.000 people the men and their families are earning livings partly through our management. "Now, suppose that this wealth should be swept away. Don't you see that not only two individuals, myself and my mother, would be ruined, but also thousands of others. "I have learned that it is only when money is stored and hoarded away that it becomes dangerous. Then it Is liable to upset our financial system and overturn our currency. I believe, and my mother agrees with me, that to give a man a job for life is better than to supply him with a turkey dinner for a day or a week or a month." - Louise Celst and the Fever. Louise Colet, the French poet, novel ist and general writer, was born at Aix, in Provence, in 1.S10. She was better known in life than to posterity not only by her writings, but from various little Incidcuts with which she was connected. Oue of the most trying was wheu sue intended to winter in the isle of Iscbla. in the gulf of Naples. No sooner was she established iu this sea girt "auburn" than an epidemic broke out The people thought it must be the stranger who had brought the trouble. She was threatened and nar rowly escaped death by the devotion of a friend who got her away in a yacht Strange as it may seem, when the "tenth muse" bad left the island the fever disappeared. , ' brighter.

Indian's

HUMOR

DECIDEDLY KEEH Dignified Red Man Is -Not Stolid and Dull as Generally Believed. The Impression prevails widely that the Indian lacks the saving sense of huiuor "that most characteristic of all American qualities." To the creating, and the spreading of this Impression many recognizable traits of Indian character -have indisputably contributed his ancestral pride, bis exclusivenesa, his gravity of face and dignity of manner in public. - Nevertheless an injustice is done blni, fcr among no primitive peoples Is the sense ot humor keener or more spontaneous and kindly. Years ago I was conversing with a group of children of the Omaha tribe. They were on their way to a reservation school, and directly in their path lay a swamp an eighth of a' mile wide, and straight through this" they were, required to wade twice a day. "It is too bad," I remarked. "Can you not go around the swamp? -Your feet will be wet, and you will be.cncomfortable and possibly ill.v, Oh," cried a girl of about twelve years, her dark eyes dancing with merriment, "we walk over the $1,200 bridge." . They all laughed at this. What could it mean? I saw no bridge; there was no bridge to be seen. It made them merry to see me mystified, and I beard them laughing and chatting s they went through the water and mud. Afterward I discovered the humor In the remark. Some years pre vious to that time the government bad appropriated S1.200 to build a bridge over this swamp, but somehow the money bad vanished into somebody's pocket and the work was not done, One evening I saw a gallant young brave making bis way swiftly over the prairies of the Omaha reserve, lie was dressed in all bis finery, and at bis side dangled a small mirror. Manifestly he was an ardent lover. This I should have surmised from his dress and eager baste, even if I bad not known hjm. As he was a friend of mine, I had inside information of his hopes and purposes; also I ventured to stop him for a moment, precious as I knew him time to be. "That mirror at your side," I remarked, "is to give opportunity for Iralrie Flower to discover how lovely she Is, is 'it not?" He considered a moment, and then, with a twinkling eye, be replied : "No. Maybe so she will talk " toe much to me. and then I will look intc my mirror to see how tired I am." This certainly was the humor of absurdity. Examples of Standing Bear's humor I could give almost without number. During the trial of his case before Judge Dundy the contention of the government attorney was that an Indianls not a persou within the meaning 'of tho law. This puzzled the old chief greatly. It also amused him. One day at my table he was vigorously plying a knife and fork when suddenly be paused in his eating, lifted up his bands, and, a humorous smile lighting up bis noble, storm scarred face, he remarked: "The attorneys say I am not a person. But 1 can use a knife and fork. Does a bear do that? If he, the attorney, is a person I am one also. Ye both eat with knives and forks. Indeed, I thick I can use them faster than be can. If he wants- to race me eating I am ready." We all laughed at this. When we were quiet Standing Bear added, "That Is, I will run an eating race with, the attorney if he will pay for the beefsteak.". The first public . address Standing Bear ever made was given in mj church. In. the course of it while bo was pleading for assistance he addressed various classes of people present the men, the women, the clergy, the business men, the children. When be was pleading with the women be said: "I appeal to yon because you are brave and patient. Whenever you have anything hard to do you never rest unti it Is done." This was a gallant sent! ment worthy of a chief. But Frank La Fieschc, who was Interpreting, rendered the sentence thus: "You womec arc patient. When there is anything hard to be done we men let you do it This was so true to Indian custom that the audience laughed. Standing 'Bear was puzzled. As h stood silent a moment wondering what mistake be bad made Bright Eyes, the beautiful Omaha maiden, stepped for ward cnl said, "My brother- Frnnihns made n mistake In interpreting the chiers thought." Then she gave the proper rendering. The Chicago papers took liberties with Standing Benr's name, one of them referring to him constantly as fpright Bruin. When this -was explained to the chief he took the matter with great good nature. "What does it matter?" he remarked, his face beaming. T am all tied, ur with names. I am like a pony tangled in his lariat. , Father Hamilton, the Presbyterian, calls me elder. The Episcopalian clergyman calls rae warden. For I am an officer In the little church la our Tillage, where both these good men preach. And now the papers call me what Is It? Yes, Bruin. No matter. The Judge In Omaha says I am a person, and that satisfies Southern Workman. SLEEPS OFF DRUNK AT CITY BUILDING Albert Willmer and William Decker were given fines of $1 and costs each for public intoxication, in police court today. Willmer came to the city hall to sleep in the basement, last night but was so "full" that be could not stand without holding to something. Sergeant Winters had to put him to bed..

BEVERIDGE GIVES

SUPPORHO TUFT Indiana Senator Strongly Ad vocates Canadian Reciprocity Treaty. ' Washington, Jan. 20. In an interview Senator Beveridge voiced his warm approval of the President's message and of the terms of the reciprocity agreement He said: I as earnestly favor the policy of Canadian reciprocity as I do the policy of a tariff commission. For many years I have fought with all my might for both. Now that both are in sight, I am, of course, as earnestly for them as ever I was. Says Policy la Sound. "The message of "President Taft is admirable from .the first word to the last As a statement of and an argu ment" for Canadian, reciprocity it is powerful and unanswerable. Whatever becomes of the agreement which President Taft's message transmits to congress, the message itself will be historic. " . "The policy is so sound and its execution so vitally necessary to the trade and prosperity of both countries that the proposed agreement should be enacted into law at the earliest moment even if it constitutes only a fair beginning. And I am sure that it will be found to constitute far more than a fair beginning. "It may be that other items should be added to the list and, if bo, they will be, once the policy itself Is inaugurated. It may be. that some will complain that while many articles are free others also should be free,, which by .the agreement are not made so. Yet this, too, will be remedied once the policy becomes the law of the two countries. "As I said time and again in the last campaign and have been saying for years, our tariff policy as to the rest of the world has no proper application to Canada. The policy of protection which we apply to Europe and to the Orient does not apply to Canada Be cause the conditions are not only not the same, but, indeed, just the oppo site. Compares Conditions. - "Protection ii based on the idea of the protecting of our, higher paid American labor from the lower paid labor of other countries. The countries of Europe which compete with us are frightfully over-crowded, compared .with us, even at the present day, and inconceivably over-crowded, compared with us, at the time we began the policy of protection. "This and other causes made the pay of European labor far lower than American labor could live on by our higher standards. Of course the same conditions is true in a far greater degree of the labor of the Orient ; "But this is not true of Canada. Canada is not over-crowded, compared with us. She has no over-supply of labor she has an under-supply, compared with us. Canada has no congested and struggling industrial mil lions from whom "we need protections as rival European countries have. Canada has no starving myriads as the Orient has. Canada is on an industrial equality with us, to say the very least. The, truth is, of course, that, compared with Canada, we have an over-supply of labor and she has an under-supply. But she has an oversupply of resources and we are beginning to have an undersupply." Exchange la Mutual. "So it is that the" policy of protection does not apply to Canada in the same way that it does to Europe or the Orient "The truth is that we ought always to have had special tariff relations with Canada, peculiar to her alone and tending more and more to a free interchange of all products of the two countries across the long imaginary boundary line which separates us. Had this been our policy we would have had Canada's vast resources at our disposal and she would have taken the products of our factories and other industries in exchange. "We are beginning this policy now. No protectionist ought to oppose it On the contrary, every protectionist should be for it It means cheaper food, cheaper building materials and, generally, cheaper necessities of life of our people on the one hand, and it means an immensely Increased sale of our manufactured and other products to the Canadian -market on the other hand."

Paris Greatly Enjoying the Ice Skating Craze at Present

BY LA RACONTEUSE. (Special Cable from the International News Service.) Paris, Jan. 30. It is quite the proper thing here to go skating in the Palais Glace in the Champs Elysees, but very proper people go there only between four and six in the afternoon. Those people are quite ordinary tailor made people who look rich, but not a bit fascinating or smart At six o'clock sharp they disappear as if by magic, 'Then the Palais Glace becomes very gay and jolly and pretty women come in by the score. I was there last night, after six of course, and enjoyed myself very much because I saw lots of postal-card-te"a-at Rumpelmayer beauties quite close and any number of beautiful actresses, to say nothing of a crowd of American girls. Liane de Lancy was skating beautifully between two green-coated astra-kan-capped "professors." I recognized her at once, because of the photo I so often see of her in fashion periodi cals, and in her pictures she looks charming. In real life you see too much paint about the picture ; but she is very pretty all the same. I had tea at one of the little tables on the edge of, the ice rink. It was very exciting because from time to time a beginner would come sailing straight at the part of the balustrade in front of our table and fall with a gasp and an "excusez moi." and bump that sent teacups and toast flying. It amused me, but when the same accident happened for the third time, I thought it time to be going. We left just as the slim-waisted Polaire came frothing in. She was busy explaining to two or three boys who were with her that "she wasn't the woman she' appears to be." Now 1 Is the season for fancy dress balls, a custom which is having a recrudenscence of popularity in Paris. A very pretty ball I heard a great deal of the other day was the result of a sort of sumptuary, order by the hostess that only simple materials were to be used, elaborate and costly ornaments being "tabooed;" but on the other hand, all the, guests were to carry out amuBing tricks in keeping with the costumes they wore. The guests showed a great deal of Ingenuity, and the thing was an immense success. Thus a couple of babies sat in a corner playing with dolls half the time, while there was a wild dance by two "Apaches," coon songs by a boy with a blackened face, fortune , telling by magicians and palmists, got up to rep resent the character, and other diversions. Perhaps the ' most successful event ot the evening was a. swoop on the supper table by a party of screaming Indians armed with tomahawks, who carried it off, but luckily only to reappear shortly after. Many host esses nowadays suggest the costumes their guests shall wear, which ensures harmony and diversity avoiding the too frequent repetition of the same idea. But this also sometimes requires guests to exercise an amount of thinking and Ingenuity which is ot at all times quite welcome. One lady is arranging a ball for the next few days, at which her guests are to represent the stations of the Metropolitan railroad; I fear there will be some headaches in puzzling out this command. A chapel in the department of the Charento-Inferiure, called Notre Dame du Plantin, has just been dedicated to aviators, and a medal effigy of this new "Notre Dame" is going to be struck and distributed to all flyers who ask for it. It is a curious commentary upon our human weakness that the adepts in this newest science or sport, who seem to brave everything, are really rather superstitious persons. Santos- Dumont attributes bis immunity from accidents to a medal of St Benolt, presented to him by Comtesse d'Eu, which he wears on a bracelet. Edmond Foillot ' always carries about with him a four-leafed clover, and is very fond of horseshoes, which he collects. Tabuteau, who : holds several records, believes, like a Monte Carlo gambler, the number twenty-eight is favorable to him. while poor Delagrange. who met his death at Bordeaux, had a passion for the figure 13 for no other reason apparently than that he was born on March 13, 1873.

The demand is so great for the baccalaureate, that a nunber of girls', lycees in Paris,' Lille

and Bordaux now train regularly for the course and further facilities are being asked for. Perhaps tho most surprising thing ia the young woman's predilection for the old Humanities. She Is not merely content with science, but clamors for spiritual contact with the illus-' trious Greeks and Romans. The movement is so general that numbers of the higher teaching establishments for girls are overhauling their curriculum in order to give higher attention to the classics. Oddly enough, exactly the contrary tendency is noted in the boys' schools. The dance of tho season is said to be the Argentine "Tango" which as its name indicates, hails from the great ' South American republic. It is a com bination of the undulating movements of the Spanish dances and the rhythmic arm waving ot , the American dances. The partners ' never leave each other. The man throws his body slightly backward and the girl throws hers sligthly forward. The first fig- a ure is waixea. i ne secona nas a gliding step, and the body bends first , to the right and then to the left. The arms move to the cadence of the music. The "Tango" is danced to ' slow music. Cockney Chivalry. There was a crush in the pit, and thai anaemic looking girl stood with the lato comers behind the last bench. The young man in front of her, comfortably seated, was net too absorbed In the musical comedy to note that the girl looked tired as she doggedly stood out the first act. He rose when the curtain fell. "Would you," he asked, pushing past her, "like to mind my seat while I go out for a drink?" The ago of chivalry is not past. London Chronicle. . -11 v.A:.;.;."
