President Taft issued the follow
ing statement:
"That I am very much pleased
with the passage of the Canadian re
ciprocity bill through both houses of
congress goes without saying. I be
lieve and hope it will bo followed by
similar action by the dominion par
liament. "In my judgment the going Into
effect of the agreement will mark a
new epoch in the relations between
the United States and Canada, and
will tend to a marked increase in the
trade between the two (countries,
which will be in every way beneficial
to both.
"I hope the credit that belongs to
Secretary Knox and his special as
sistants at the state department in
the negotiating and framing of the
pact,, and .their lucid explanation and
defense of its terms, will , not be
withheld. - - '
"In a sense, the bill passed was a
non-partisan measure, though the
republicans who voted for It prob
ably did so on one economic theory
and tho democrats who voted for it
on another. I should be wanting in
straightforward speaking, howovor,
if I did not freely acknowledge the
credit that belongs to tho demo
cratic majority in tho house and tho
democratic minority in tho senate for
ttioir consistent support of the mcas
uro in an earnest and sincere desire
to secure its passage.
"Without this reciprocity would
have been impossible. It would not
have been difflclult for them to have
fastened upon tho bill amendments
affecting the tariff generally In such
a way as to embarrass tho executlvo
and to make it doubtful whether ho
could sign the bill, and yet to claim
popular approval for their support
of reciprocity In Its defeat. In other
words the democrats did not 'play
politics' in the colloquial sense in
which these words are used, but
they followed the dictates of a
higher policy.
"Wo republicans who have
earnestly sought reciprocity and
some of whoso votes were necessary
to the passage of the bill may proper
ly onjoy mutual felicitations on a
work well done. To thoso who op
posed the bill on the ground that it
will do harm to the farmers, we
can only say that we who have sup
ported the passage of the bill look
forward to the test of the ac.tual
operation of the reciprocity measures
to disprove their prophecies and al
lay their fears. The satisfaction that
actual experience in Its working will
give, we comfortably hope, -will se
cure its permanence. In a decade its
benefits will contribute much to a
greater United States and greater
Canada."

Senators Johnston, Overman and

chairmanship -of the democratic na

"declined."
Senator Terrell of Georgia was
appointed to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Senator Clay, has
formerly resigned from the senate.
Governor Hoke Smith does not desire
to assume the senatorshlp until next
December, preferring to hold on to
tho governorship until that time.
Governor Smith's enemies are trying
to force him to retire from the gover
norship immediately In the hope that
they may fill that office with one of
their number. Referring to the
situation the Washington Times says:
"If tho reactionaries in the demo
cratic party down in Georgia think
they are making a hit with the plain
people by sulking over tho election
of Hoke Smith to the senate they are
making tho mistake of their lives.
Ample precedents have been brought
forward to show that Joseph M. Ter
rell, appointed to fill the seat of tho
lato A. S. Clay, not only may con
tinue to sit until his successor quali
fies, but is morally bound to do so.
Beyond all question It is up to him
to discharge the duties of his office
until the election of Hoke Smith has
been certified officially to the senate.
If any of the important measures now
pending In congress should be de
feated or jeopardized by the va
cancy in the Georgia delegation, the
blame will rest upon Terrell and the
stiff-necked reactionaries with whom
he is training."

INCREASING JUDGES' PAY
This letter explains itself:
Los Angeles, Cal, May 25, 1911.
Mr. E. C. Worden, Secretary, 165
Broadway, N. Y. Dear Sir: Re
ferring to your favor of tho 19th Inst
inclosing copy of subscription list for
contribution to a fund for advancing
the cause of legislation by congress,
raising the salaries of federal judges,
beg to say:
We are opposed to the proposition
of increasing salaries as proposed.
Our government is ridden down with
bl$ salaries already. The tendency
is in the wrong direction. It may
be safely and conservatively esti
mated that four-fifths of the people
who pay taxes, directly and In
directly to the United States, do not
receive on an average over $3 per
day income, out of which many, per
haps a majority have to support fami
lies and dependents ranging in num
ber from 1 to 5, and these people use
theso courts much less than the other
one-fifth. Yet, we are asked to con
tribute from our earnings, cash to
assist in "campaigning" congress to
increase salaries of circuit and dis
trict judges from $19.18 and $16.43,
.their present rate .per day respective
ly, to $2740 and $24.65 per day
