In Only One State, North Dakota, Was
a Majority Against Agreement-
Central States Give Heavy Majori
ties—Replies Numbered 4,303.
•
The Chicago Tribune publishes the
resfo/te of/'tt of newspaper&^iq
twenty-two states of the central, west
ern, southwestern, northwestern and
Pacific divisions on the question of ap
proving the reciprocity agreement ne
gotiated with Canada by President
Taft. .
To more than 10,0(^ newspapers,
representing every shade of ^^litical
opinion, The Tribune submitted this
question;
“Are you in favor of the approval by
congress of the reciprocity agreement
with Canada negotiated by President
Taft?”
The replies numbered 4,303, of
which 4,240 were definite, even if qual
ified, expressions of opinion. ^ *
Of these 3,113 were in favor of the
agreement and 1,127 against it—
nearly a three to one vote for the*p61-
icy advocated by President Taft, shat
tering the dreams of the foes of r^i-
procity.
The conclusion is plain, if not irr^
Bistible, that the country, at least the
part of it included within the twenty-
two states thus polled, welcomes the
removal of the tariff wall between the
tTnited States and the Dominion.
The newspapers, daily and weekly,
which give the verdict are representa
tives of public opinion. They are safe
guides to the sentiments of the locali
ties in which they circulate. The
Weekly papers outnumber the dailies
In the proportion of eight to one, and
it may be assumed safely that the poll
is an expression of agricultural as
well as urban sentiment. » -
FOR LAW REFORM.
Initial Step Tai<en by U. S. Supreme
Court Justice White.
The initial step in the first big re*
^rm inaugurated by Chief Justice
White, of the supreme court of the
Xinited States, since his elevation to
that office became public when an-,
nouncement was made that the chief
justice had appointed a committee to
change and revise the rules of prac
tice in the equity courts of the United
btates. ' ' •
The committee is composed of ^us^
uces Lurton and Van DeVanter,_and
Ciiief Justice White, ex-officio. It will
report to the full court, probably in
. ® such changes and* revisions
in the present rules. For years the
ru es have been pronounced in many
quarters as antiquated and often work-
Injustice and hardship. The most
general outcry against them has been
^^courage delay in litigation and
costs.
Not only have clients complained
thorn® costs, but lawyers
selves fret at the ii^urmountabl6

for a few changes to individual: rules,
have remained unamended to the pres

the^bar and the bar associations as to
what changes should be made.

The British governmenVs Invitation
to Morocco to send a special ambassa
dor to the* coronation, of King George
has been withdrawn, it is said, and
the foreign office has notified Elmokri*

INJURED
BRYAN NO CANDIDATE.
Says He Will Not Seek Presidential
Place on Democratic Tici<et,
William Jennings Bryan is not a
candidate for president. He declared
that he will not run for the demo
cratic nomination at the democratic
banquet at St. Paul, Minn., and
although he refused absolutely to sig*
nify his choice for t3ie nomination, he
announced that, should former Gov.
Folk, of Missouri, or Gov. Burke, of
North DakO'ta, b€ named, he will
stump the country.
Democrats who gathered for the big
banquet declared that one of these
two men would likely get the nomina
tion. None of them, however, would
go on record as favoring either Folk
or Burke or any other aspirant for
the' place.
TAFT TO VISIT WEST.
on
Believed That Trip Has Bearing
' Campaign for Renomination.'
As haying a probable bearing upon
his renomination in 1912, President
Taft’s plans for the coming fall are at
tracting unusual attention. Indica
tions are that he will make a long
swing' through the west.
The whi^;e house travel book
already showa engagements which
will carry thV president into Kansas,
and. from there to Utah. Although no
en^g^ents for stops in Nebraska or
Coloi^do have yet been made, it Ss
likely , they will be. - -
It is said the trip may take the pres
ident as far as. the Pacific coast.
