Folk, former governor of Missouri and prosecuting attorney of St. Louis, is in California on a lecture tour and will speak °l the Y. M.C. A. auditorium in this'city on Friday night. Yesterday he gave the following spe i cial interview on national and progres sive topics to The Call. By JOSEPH W. FOLK The completion of the Panama canal will be the beginning of a new era in the development of fan Francisco by making the markets of the world more acressihle to this port. Hundreds of millions of dollars will be spent in the construction of the canal, the main re sult of which will be to increase the (commerce of this country. When we have to the north of us a vast domain that can become trade ter ritory of this nation for the asking it would seem to be the part of wisdom to ratify the Canadian reciprocity treaty which is now before congress. While the treaty under consideration is not as broad as it ought to be, tn that It includes for the most part only farm products, still it is a step In the right direction. Having gained this much we can later go farther. The sentiment of the middle west is overwhelmingly in favor of the ratifi cation of the treaty. The sentiment, also, in the northwestern states also is on the side of the treaty, although there is much opposition there on the mistaken theory that it might affect the value of farm products in this country. The argument is made that because wheat is lower in price in Win nipeg than in St. Paul free trade might reduce the price of wheat to the Win nipeg price. Those who take this po sition overlook the fact that there is usually considerable difference in prices of wheat in different parts of this coun try. There may be one price charged for wiieat in Chicago, another price in San Francisco and still another in Se attle, this difference being caused by the local demand and the facilities of transportation. As a matter of fact, the price of wheat and of- all farm products we export is fixed in the mar kets of the world, with such variations as local laws of supply and demand may bring about. I do not think, therefore, that the farming interests will be injured by the reciprocity treaty, but, on the other hand, vastly benefited, with all other interests, by reason of the wider mar kets being accessible. the mimcnßirr movement The insurgent movement in the re publican party saved that party from annihilation last fall. The insurgents, by advocating democratic doctrines, took advantage of the growing senti ment in the country against privilege in every form. The great question before the people of this country today is, Shall there be government by the people for all, or government by privilege for a class? This is an issue within parties as well as between parties. Privilege says to a man, "Come with us and we will give you a tariff or sub sidy or bounty enabling you fc> make money at the expense of your fellow men." True democracy says, "Come with us. We can not offer you any advantage over others, but we can provide so that no one else shall have advantage over you." Privilege appeals to selfishness and greed. Real democracy Is conscience and the common good. THE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS I hope that the democratic congress will prove itself worthy of the con fidence imposed upon it and convince the people not of what the party can do for itself, but what it can do for the people. In view of the issues in the last cam paign the majority in congress can not sidestep the tariff question^without be j ing false to the principles of democracy and the pledges made to the people. ! The democratic majority should pro vide a tariff on a simple revenue basis.

The minds of navigators running Into this port were greatly relieved this morning when the p«. ;iodo flot l!a returned from Santa Barbara channel with the news that the destroyed Trux tiin had recovered the bis naval target lost March 25 during a gale by the supply ship <;ia cler while being towed from San Francisco to San Diego for use by the United States cruisers stationed there. The derelict target was picked up Sunday 100 miles north of San Pedro breakwater and .10 B shore, after seven or eight vessels had combed the channel for a week. The collier Prometheus took the target In tow and proceeded with it to San Diego.

ABERDEEN, April 3.—Steamers SuU Atonic* THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, APRIL. 4, 1911. Joseph W. Folk, former governor of Missouri. 6t the public. The chief purpose of a hig-h tariff is to stifle competition and to that extent give monopoly. The republican idea is to protect monopoly from the people; the democratic idea is to protect the people from monopoly. When a government by means of a monopoly tariff attempts to take from one class and give to another, a moral question is presented. Wealth created by legislation must in the nature of things be drawn from the public. It it unjust for all the people to be taxed in order that a few may profit. iriff other than for revenue is merely a legalized graft. Let the dem ocratic party take an unmistakable stand on this question and Invite one of all parties opposed to the sys tem of protection to unite with it in the fight, then there can be a square issue between privilege and equal right!!. A battle over tariff schedules claiming that some are too high, and others should remain as they are, does not involve any principle, and can only result in a sham fight. IMTIATIVE. REFERENDUM, RECALL The initiative, referendum and recall that have been brought out by the commission form of government have all been tried and have worked very satisfactorily. The nearer the govern ment can be brought to the people, the better and purer that government will be. If government by the people is right, as I think it is, then the people -can not be given too much power to run their own government. The com mission plan with the initiative, refer endum and recall does much to insure government that is representative of the people and not of special inter ests. There is np law, however, that can give good government automati cally. The most that any law can do is to afford decent people an oppor tunity through that law to obtain good government by their own progress, no. matter what the laws may be. the ques tion of good government will always come back in its last analysis to the aggressiveness of the average decent citizen. DIRECT ELECTION OF V. S. SENATOR The interests have not hesitated to resort to corruption in order to secure, the election of their agents to this great law making body. The shameless corruption employed in the election of Mr. Lorimer is an example of how far interests will go to get one of their men in the seats of the mighty. We are now learning that officials should represent the public and that there should be no property interests inconsistent with the public interests. No just reason can be given no# why the people should not be entitled to elect senators and the only reason that it is difficult to secure this power is the tremendous influence of special interests exerted in our national gov ernment, and especially in the senate of the I'nited States. It was entirely fitting that the senate should one day repudiate the resolution for the elec tion of senators by the people and on the next day seat the senator from Illinois, whose election was brought about by brazen bribery. land San Jdclnto arrived, the former with pas- I sengers.

"After 25 years of study In the treat ment of the face, neck and arms, I find that few women know how to really improve their appearance. The usual treatment of the beauty special ist is a dangerous thing, as it is too harsh. It seems {o have done good, but Oh my! shortly hair starts to grow, and such a lot of wrinkles, and the skin soon becomes rough and red and is all dried up. "The following simple home recipe will practically give any woman a new skin: Dissolve an original package of Mayatone in 8 ounces of witchhazel. Massage the face, arms and neck with this solution twice Hally. This will remove all shine from the skin, giving it a natural, dainty color.

TREE METHUSELAHS IN STATE FORESTS Chief Forester Says California Specimens Are Oldest in the World Chief Forester Henry S. Graves save an interesting talk yesterday after noon on the floor of the Merchants' exchange on the subject of forest con jservation. An audiem« of 100 or more listened to his discussion, and after ward he gave some time to answering questions relating to local conditions in California and regarding the policy | lof his department toward protecting' I the forests against fire. In answer to one of the questions put to him Graves said that undoubt edly some of the California trees were the oldest in the world, that some probably had lived many thousands I jof years and that tlif-re were many species on the coast containing trees i more than 1,000 years old. He was preceded by William E. Colby, secre tary of the Sierra club, who sketched i jßOtne plans for a great forestry build- i ing to be erected for the Panama-Pa- j cific international exposition. Presi- | dent James Rolph Jr. of the Merchants' | exchange introduced both speakers. Graves outlined the policy of the forestry department as being to per- j mit the development of the national I forest resources as rapidly as there is | a real demand for the timber, but in no event to permit the removal of tim ber beyond a certain limit to be de termined by the possibility of repro duction. The task of the department, he said, was not only to protect the standing timber, but to provide for a permanent supply In the future. The speaker declared that in none of the California forests had the limit of development been reached, although i in some of the Rocky mountain states ; this is the case. He said it would take $8,000,000 to build the trails, tele- j \phone lines and other improvements '. necessary to provide the primary sys- j tern of fire protection in the national j forests, but that with this work ac- I eomplished and a sufficient force of j .men provided for, it would be possible | practically to guarantee the forests against disastrous fires.
