In conclusion he said: "We have taken up those things that are Involved In a Cana-llan reciprocity agreement because of the opportunity offered.

His readers saw In bis treatment of subjects a disposition not to keep out of sight an formidable obstruction In the flow of rasonlng to lis conclu sion.

"Uncoln had to go down through the valley of the shadow of popular de nunciation and popular distrust. He had to bear the bitterest ridicule, the most contemptuous criticism and the accusations of the meanest motives.

Long Step to Free Trade. SPRINGFIELD.' 111.. Feb. ll.-Senator Bailey, of Danville, made public today a letter directed to him by Speaker Can non. In which the Speaker strongly op poses reciprocily with Canada. - The Speaker s followers in the benate and House, according to the Senator, will put up a hard tlvht on tlic floor when i me anacilan recinrociiy resolution i unrirti im wren. Following Is the text of Cannon's let ter: "It Is reported In Washington that you are about to consider In the legislature at Springfield a resolution indorsing the commercial agreement with Canada which is now ppnilng before Congress. "That proposed agreement provides substantially for free trade between Can aila and the United 8tates in agricul tural products. In addition, it Includes wheat, barley, corn, potatoes, dairy prod ucts, eggs, poultry, cattle, hogs and other animals on the hoof. Theory and Ynct Dlsanree. "Of course free trade In these prod uch Is by Itself one-elded, because we give Canada an Immense market for farm products both In theory and ln fact while she affords us practically no mar ke for farm products ln fact, whatever may be the theory. "If there can be any advantage given ua which will compensate for tlie burden of competition thus placed on our farm era. we should be able to And It in the terms. "I have not found It so far, and I note that tne Canadian envoy, Mr. Field ing, explains to the mother country that, while Canada is gaining a large market in the trnlted States, the t'nlted States la not to gain enough market in Canada to Interfere . with KngllFh trado, since few reductions are made on our products that would seek a Canadian market. and tl:ese reductions are small. I note also one conspicuous dlscrimi nation. Food animals on the hoof, such as our farmers have to sell, come Into this country free, but on the meats man ufactured I hereof, there is levied a duty of one-half cent a pound. Protection Denied Farmers. 'I have no time to enter Into com plete analysis of the agreement, but I send you under separate cover a copy of the President's message containing the proposed agreement and schedules. Th agreement, to me. and to many others, seems substantially to den' pro tection to all agricultural products. treating them aa raw material, and to accord protection to all who use such products In. whole or In part as a basis for some manufacturing purpose. 'My object In writing la to say that. If any action la made to secure aid for this agreement while It Is pending be fore the Congress, It ought to be done after only a most careful examination. ICepitblU-aiis Don't Agree. "There Is a marked difference of opinion among Republicans In the House and Senate touching the wisdom and the Justice of the proposed agree ment as a whole. "The Democrats III the House have held a caucus In regard to the matte and have resolved to support the agree ment on the ground that, while it 13 not all they desire to accomplish. It Is a long atep In the direction of free trade. "That Is not. as I understand, the position that the Republican party set forth In its platform and outlined In Its policies, and. for one. I cannot agree with the Democratic caucus." Employers Hpsolve to Kntcr State, National and City Politics. The Employers' Association of Oregon decided last night to take active part in municipal, state and National politics, in the interests of announced policies of the association. It was the annual meet ing of the association anil the ha'.l was. comfortably filled. The following resolu tion wa adopted: "That It Is the unfliiiinous sense of this meeting that the Kmployers" Association of Oregon hereafter take active Interest In politics on the 'open shop' basis, be lieving that tills action is necessary for the promotion of Its interests and those of the Stato of Oregon." President M. C. Banrield presided: M. C. R.intieltl. C. F. Swlgert and R. W. Brown were elected new oirectors for the next three years. Other members hold over. Within the next week the directors will elect new officers of the association. - - FINAL REDUCTION SALE ON-MADE TO ORDER SUITS AND OVERCOATS Positively Free An Extra Pair of Trou sers or an English Silk Raincoat DIRECT ELECTION FAVORED 'Continue! Prr-m First Pase. progress to follow the extremists or the John Brown and Wendell Phillips type. These two men rendered at times good service. But if Lincoln had fol lowed In their steps the result would have been death to the Nation. 'We must not he misled by mere names. As compared with Buchanan and Fllmore. Lincoln was a radical and an extreme progressive. As compared with John Brown and Wendell Phillips he was a sane conservative and he was right ln both positions. Klex-t Senators Directly. "One of the progressive policies upon which I think th great majority of progressives are agreed Is that t'nlted Stales Senator? should be elected by popular vote. The Constitution should, in my judgment, be so amended as to provide for this. 'The insistence upon the election of Senators In some way which shall not permit the people to pass directly upon them Is merely a relic of the same feel ing which made the founders of the Constitution entrust the election of the President to the electoral college In stead of to direct popular vote. The same fears of the neople expressed now by those who are against choice of Sen ators by popular vote were expressed a century and a quarter ago by the good and wise men who erroneously felt it was not safe to entrust the election of the President to direct popular vote. "A comparatively short experience con vinced the Nation that the President should be voted for directly by the peo ple. And although the form of an elec toral college had been retained, the actual fact is that the vote for Presi dent Is a direct vote, the electors having no functions except formally to ratify the popular decree and If it were pos sible even this slight function could with advantage be abolished. None of the evils prophesied have re sulted from the change ln the case of the President, and the same thing, 1 am per fectly sure, will happen when the change Is made as regards Senators. But the United States should under no circum stances surrender one particle of the control It now has as regards the elec tion of Senators. 1 feel that we are to be congratu lated as a Nation upon the likelihood of obtaining a closer reciprocity of tariff and trade relations with Canada Among all the powers of the earth there Is none with which we should de sire to be upon more Intimate footing of equal rights, to which we should be more closely bound In relations of mu tual helpfulness, esteem and good will than In the case of our great neighbor to the north, whose prosperity and growth should- be a matter of pride to all who dwell on the American contl nent. I welcome the proposed reci procity treaty as marking a signal ad vance In bringing about the closest and most friendly relations between the two countries."

The Superior Court's February term was called to begin yesterday and jurors were summoned to be here at that time.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Feb. 11. Representative Ellis today voted against the bill ratifying the Canadian reciprocity agreement, on the ground that tiie agreement would operate to the detriment of several Ore gon Industries,-notably lumber, grain and salmon. Not only, lie says,' would Canadian products enter Into competition with Oregon products In the West, but much of Oregon's trade In the East that Is shipped by sea would be destroyed by Canadian competition, as the products of British Columbia could be sent to New York and other Eastern ports ln foreign bottoms and at less rates than are charged by American ships now engaged ln the coastwise trade and which handle all Oregon products going by sea to Eastern markets. Ellis has received muny petitions and telegrams from Oregon urging him to act as he did. and he feels he Is Justi fied ln opposing the agreement. Hawley probably will Join Ellis ln voting against the McCall bill when it comes before the House, for be is par ticularly opposed to the lumber and wood pulp features of the agreement.

D.. archbishop of Philadelphia and one pf the reat Archbishops on the Ameri can continent, died at 4:0S o'clock this afternoon, at the archlepiscopal rcs1 dence ln Logan Square. For weeks the archbishop, who would have been years old had he lived until February 20, fought off death, but a weak heart, enfeebled by the arduous duties of his office, could not stand the strain, and he passed away breathing the benediction. "God bless you" upon those who stood about the bedside. The four attending physicians an nounced at' 3 o'clock that the end was not far off. About this time the stricken prelate roused himself and murmured the dy ing words of St. Paul: "I wish to be dissolved and be with Christ." An hour later the final struggle came and messengers hurried to summon priests from the nearby cathedral. As they entered the sick room. Fath er Kavnnaugh, the archbishop's sec retary, began the prayers for the dy ing, and the priests, kneeling about the death bed, intoned the responses. The Archbishop's mind for a moment cleared sufficiently tb comprehend the significance of the scene, and with the words "God bless you," on his lips, he sank back and passed away. A few minutes after the prelate passed away the deep-toned bell of the Cathedral began tolling off 7 strokes one for each year of the Archbishop's life, and the people ln the neighbor hood readily understood what had taken place. The funeral .will be held on Thurs day morning. It is expected to be at tended by practically all the leading clergy in the American hierarchy. A great deal of work will be done in this city in the way of local improve ments.
