THE CANADIAN CONTEST
The political contest in Canada, in which reciprocity is a dominant is- j
sue, is over the election of members of the Dominion Parliament. 'The
House of the Parliament," says the Nashville Banner, "which was recently
dissolved was composed of 221 members, of whom 133 were Liberals and
«ighty-eight Conservatives. The Liberal party, headed by Premier Laurier,
stands mainly for reciprocity, which is opposed by the Conservatives, al
though there are members of each patty who disagree with the majority
sentiment of their party. There are other political issues than reciprocity
entering into the campaign and there are some complex diversions from
the leading issue that will determine many votes, but despite the vigorous !
opposition the present prospect indicates that Laurier will win a good Lib
eral majority in the next Parliament."
All the lumber plants west of the Mississippi river are shut down be
cause of a strike that is now on, the common laborers in the mills demand
ing more pay and shorter hours. It will make no great and permanent dif
ference which side wins out, and if the laborers win it is doubtful if their
conditions will be materially bettered for any great length of time. As soon
as the capitalist is forced to raise his pay roll he will immediately set
about to raise his price. In the meantime other laborers working in other
Industries are striking and the prices of those commodities are raised. So
It inevitably follows that as long as capital and labor are both organized, j
prices will rise in exact accord with wages. The price of labor should be
regulated by the price of commodities, but under the present system of
organization, the price of commodities must necessarily be regulated by the
price of labor. The more dollars a day the laborer receives, the less becomes !
the value of each dollar. But labor will keep on raising wages and capital
will keep on raising prices until at last, some sweet day. the government
will put an end, absolutely and forever, to both organizations, and the o'd.
correct standards of free competition and free labor will he resumed. Then,
and not until then, will such questions as the high cost of living, the ;
labor question, etc., be settled justly and fairly.
Hon. Roger Q. Mills, who died in the fullness of years at his home in
Texas last week, was the last of a notable group of public men who were '
members of the House Ways and Means Committee that framed the tariff i
bill under the first Cleveland administration, known as the Mills bill, i
These men. besides Mills, were Carlisle, of Kentucky; Crisp, of Georgia: ^
Morrison and Springer of Illinois; Holman of Indiana, and Randall of Penn- [
sylvania. They were great men, all of them. The bill bore Mills' name |
because he was chairman of the committee. Mr. Randall of Pennsylvania,
was second in rank, and being inoculated with protection virus fought the
bill in committee and on the floor of the House with zeal worthy a better
cause. But no one ever doubted or questioned Mr. Randall's sincerity of I
purpose, and though wrong upon the tariff, he was a patriot and a statesman
and a great man with a great mind.

Capital punishment itself, is a mooted question Public hangings, eith- '
er by law or by mobs, is a relic of ba.barianism. An attempt was made at ;
the last legislature to abolish public hangings in this slate. To require that |
gll legal executions take place in private; but the bill never came to a vote. !
We are glad to learn that it will be in reduced early in the session at the 1
coming legislature and passed: for certainly no sane legislature in this
lighteppd £ge, would go on record as f : voting public executions of human j
beings. BuH flgfrtipg is tame and cul
curious Crowds of feflr hunters who fl lit for particles of rope at a public
hanging. There i* absolutely nothing in the world more revolting than a
public hanging. It is a shame upon a" v state to tolerate upon its statute !
books such a law.

"Who's Who" In the Saturday Evening Post of this week, is devoted to j
an article on "The Mississippi Maze." in which are discussed Mississippi j
politics in general and the Byrd-WlthPrspoon race in particular,
writer Indulges in a good deal of a(l*kPd humor throughout the article, and
when It has been read, one can»«! tell which side of the fence he is on. ,
Only one thing he makes c»»at—that he thoroughly disapproves of secret I

About a year ago an unpretentiou , looking man, commonly dressed,
asked to be shown through the Hahnemann Hospital in New York
His I
request was courteously and considerately granted. The unknown visitor
was Mitchell Valentine, who recently died, bequeathing $1,000.000 to the
hospital. It pays to be polite. Tt is cheap capital and a most essential
quality in business or social life.
Miss Beulah Binford, of Beattl* case renown, has decided to act with
-C
a motion picture concern Instead of going on the metropolitan stage. That's |
right. Let everybody see her. The poor man In the small town has as
much right to satisfy his morbid curiosity as the four hundred of New !
j
York. Beulah Is doing a very charitable act.
The Birmingham Ledger well says: "Of all that cargo of Dutch Im
migrants last spring none came South. They settled from New Jersey to
Massachusetts, but none came to the cheap lands and better prospects In
the South. The reason was that the South did not invite them. They are
the very people we need."
