The News desires to lend its hearty endorsement to the plan for erecting in this county a home for widows of Confederate veterans, and other wor thy women. Monuments of marble are all right. It is good to thus commemorate the service of the honored dead. It is better, however, to remember the living, and to remember them in more substantial manner first. On various occasions we have urged the importance of establishing a home foi widows of the Confederacy. Many of them are in need. “The names they loved to hear. Have been carved for many a year, On the tomb." A bill was introduced in the legisla ture this week authorizing county commissioners to appropriate $25,000 to bo used in erecting such a home. Further authority is vested in the bill to permit a bond issued for ma.nte- nance. The bill is heartily endorsed by the Mecklenburg Camp of Tnitod Confed erate Veterans, and tlie Stonewall .lackson Chapter Cniied Daughters of the Confederacy. We believe that it has the support of every patriotic son and daughter of the county, and we trust that ssuch a home will bo pro vided without delay. The CJreensboro News is the greatest antidote for .iournalistic ennui v.o have ever encountered. It would appear that Charlotte also has a large stock of available mayor alty timber. DISCySSES 0'..

Feb. 17.—Though the peo ple of the Tnitod States and Canada are "a snh.stantiallv noniogeneous peo ple" with "(ieop moral ami racial reci procities," the benefits of the proi)OS- ed commercial rociprcx'ity with Can ada “otight not to be obscured by the tear of relations too cordial and con ceivably dangerous to the great Cana dian loyalty to England.” is the opin- l(m of Secretary of State. Philander G. Knox, who addressed the Chicago Association of Commerce here last night. Mr. Knox declared that while migra tion proceeded as constantly and as freely between Canada and the United States as between two states of this country and while the two peoples have lieen welding together for two centuries, “there is not the slightest l)robability that this racial and moral union will involve any political change or annexation or absorption." ‘‘It is an ('thnologlcal fact that polit ical units of tne English-speaking peo ple never lose their autonomy.” said Secretary Knox. “I-,ike bees, they give off their swarms, wiio set up for them selves independently, but they do not make political combinations among themselves. Since the revolution there has been almost undisturbed peace and amity between the two countries, and however governmental changes may have been bruited in the past, it is probably more true today than ever before that the weight of senti ment and oijinii'n both in Canada and the United States, while desiring clos er relations in all other respects, is crystallized in a belief that the pres ent political separation is desirable and will lead to the best development of each nation and to better and more satisfactory relations i)etween them. “In the higher atmosphere and broader aspects of the situation it is certain that if there should be any great world movement involving this continent Canada and the United States w'ould, as a matter of course, act in the most perfect concert in de fense of the common right of a com mon blood and civilization.” Declaring, how’ever, that the reci procity r)roi)Osition was “economic, not political,” Mr. Knox asserted: “The United States recognises with satis faction that the Dominion of Canada is a permanent North American po litical unit and that her autonomy is secure. The United States appre ciates the advantage to the common w-elfare of the continent that Canada contributes her own strength plus th^ strength of Great Britafn.” Secretary Knox prefaced his argu ment allaying fears of Canadian an nexation with an outline of the trade relations between the United States and Canada to the work of the present administration and then remarked that “for more than half a century the statesmen of (!anada, of Great Britain, and of the United States have by re peated effort testiHed and reaffirmed an abiding and ftmdamental belief in the princii)le of American-Canadian r€cipn>city.” .Sketching briefly the negotiations between Canada and the United States from the time of the passage of tl^ recii)rocity treaty of 1854 and Its anrogallon in lf G6, Mr. Knox spoke of the subs(‘quont efforts on both sides of the line to promote reciprocal trade, the C/anadian jdlgrimages to Washing ton, “the cold reception given the em inent Canadians who made these pil grimages and the appeal to imperial and political sentiment by their op ponents at home.” “Our tack was, despite all this,” con tinued Mr. Knox, “to submit to the people of Canada an opportunity to cement the commercial links which it is decreed shfll unite us. The agree ment submitted congress by the pres ident is the result. It is comprehen sive in principle and avoids the ob jection which was one cause of the abrogation of the Elgin-Marcy treaty of 1S54—that is. it is not limited to me class of commodities. It is meant for the conditions of today and the conditions of the future. “Recognizing the condition which exists in our own country and with out undertaking to define the causes which have led to the increased cost of living, the agreement seeks to give our millions of wagevearning consum ers the benefit of drawing upon the surplus food supplies nearest at hand. It seeks by providing for the freest jiossible interchange of commodities across a political boundis^.' which when it comes to production and commerce is an artificial boundary, to prevent these manipulations and those speculative fluctuations in prices which are harmful both to the pro ducer and to the consumer. It may be stated as an axiom that the more abundant the source of supply and the more free the movement of products the less chance there is of decreasing legitimate profits of the producer and of increasing the cost to the con sumer by artificial scarcity. “While a reciprocity agreement lim ited to natural products w'ould be ben eficial, nevertheless in order that such an agreement should be really compre hensive the terms should include man- uf'ictured commodities also. This, too, is done? Rates are mutually reduced on a large variety of manufactures. The list would have been even larger had the Dominion reached the stage of industrial development in which she felt that she could include a greater ntimber of articles. Special regard for “the great class of agricultural producers, for the m'\rket offered by Canada to this country and the market afforded by the United States to Canada, and for “the legitimate expansion of our man- facturing industries" was given during the recent negotiations,” added Mr. Knox, in explaining the reductions on all classes of agricultural implements, the free admission of cotton seed oil into Canada, the exemption from duty of Ml fruits and vegetables and other agricultural products of which some sections have a surplus at certain sea son. The benefits are generally distrib uted in Mr. Knox’s opinion and “no permanent injury to any producing class is apprehended.” Speaking of the provision for free wheat, Mr. Knox pointed out that the trnnsi'ortation facilities of the United States for handling the surplus Cana dian crop must be taken inio account, thus i>reventing “the demoralization of prioes which results through the dnnipinu of largo’ quantities upon the European markets, where the world’s su)>ply is fixed.” He declared that the free admission of grain from Canada would meet the present situation and ])lace the control in the hands of the American growers. “The principal complaints against the measure,” continued Mr. Knox, “come from the politicians who have been endeavoring to persuade the far mer that his interest in the protective tariff is based on the tariffs on agricul tural products rather than upon the general prosperity of the country, or they are heard from some local special interest. “It is significant how little is said about who got the best of the bargain. The general observation is one of grat ification that the arrangement is bene ficial to both countries. The breadth and unselfish nature of the agreement has surprised and gladdened the friends of good relations between the countries and disconcerted those upon both sides of the line who expected a horse trader’s bargain. “A generous measure of reciprocity betw'een Canada and the United States Is but a natural expression of their inter-dependence. Efforts to restrain, hamper, and interfere with realization will be as futile and unprofitable as were the early runious trade wars be tween the states. “The reasons for reciprocity are very real and striking and ought to lift the consideration of the result of ! the recent negotiations to high plane and large-minded comprehension of the greater reasons and motives of htmian and national relations and rise above the mere balancing of trade advantages.” FOR 58 YEARS Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters has been the choice of those who know from experience they cannot equal it for Stomach Ills or Grippe. “YOU ARE AS WELL AS YOUR STOMACH” HOSTETTER Sentenced for Theft of Cabbage.
