Hitherto, while favoring the reci-

_>ro_city agreement as one likely to be if mutual benefit to both the United States and Canada, and of especial .enetit to Prince Edward Island and ;he Maritime Provinces, The Guardi- ln has doubted whether it would re-

row short and it is_nlways risky to rophesy, but we have modified our :iews upon that point and we shall .rot be greatly surprised if (Jongress .hall sanction the agreement. The reasons for this hope are vs-

.-lous. After the first surprise which was caused by the unexpected extent of the proposed changes, 'the agree- nent has been much more generally endorsed by the leading newspapers of the United States than was at _irst expected. .Iudged by these press opinions alone one might expect the ratification of the agreement, but it 'las frequently been found that a popular verdict at the polls has been .juite at variance with the weight oi press opinion, either because the press was in advance of public senti- aient, or from other causes.

It is not the ordeal of an immedi-

ate election, however, but the verdict of Representatives and Senators in Congress which the agreement has to face. And these Members and Sena- tors are shrewd politicians, nearly equally divided between the two great political -parties, but closely observant of popular opinion, and al- ways having in mind the party ad- vantage. This brings us to consider what would be- the affect of the re- jection of the agreement by the Re- publican majority, 'if they should combine against it.'

We must bear in mind that the Re-

publican party as the promoters and upholders of high protection have been met by the revolt of the people,

including a section of their own par- .ty and the entire Democracy ol the country against the high and in- reasing cost of living caused, as the people believe, by the tariff. From President 'I‘aft's point of view, this uprising must be met by some con-

eive the endorsation of Congress bc- cession, and the reciprocity agres- ore the 4th.0f March. 'l‘h`e time isiment is s concession in the least ob-

jectionable form that it'can be made. Even the protected interests in the United States had rather consent to reciprocity than to a general reduc- tion of the tariff all around.

If reciprocity were to be now re-

jected by the Republican party, sup- ported as it is by the Powerful influ- ence 0! the President and his Cabin- et, it would seem likely to promote 5 strong reaction against that party in the minds of the great body of consumers throughout the country and force a large body of Republi- cans into the Democratic ranks at the next election. And even the pro- tected interests rnust see that the end would be not with such minor re- ductions of duties as recrprocity in- volves, but 5 much more sweeping re- duction all along the line.

These and other considerations lead

us now to think that the agreement may be ratified at Washington and so go into effect at no distant date. Of the result at Ottawa we have never been in doubt, despite the loud outcry raised in certain quarters in Canada. The leading Conservative organs are of course ranked strongly against reciprocity, but it is note- worthy that a good many of the Op- position newspapers, such as the Montreal Gazette, the Ottawa Citi- Zen, the Ottawa Journal, the Toron- to World and others, along with Mr. Monk, s, leading Quebec Conserva- tive, are so exceedingly mild in their criticisms as to show their belief in the general popularity of the recipro- city compact.

The Imperial Parliament is now

open in its first session and has a most important ministerial program before it, including the Veto Bill, for limiting the powers of the House of Lords and a bill for the payment of Members of the House of Commons. I-Iitherto the members of the British Parliament have been, from time im- memorial, the unpaid servants ofthe nation. Excepting only those holding office in the Government the honor and distinction of holding their seats was their sole reward.

In other nations enjoying represen-

tative lnstitutions, as in France, Germany, Italy, the United States and in all the British Dominions and Colonies over sea, the rule has been

to ay the members of Parliament ei her an annual or Sessional salary or 1 nity, ranging from such

small as the members of our

Provinci gislature receive, up to the $2,500 paid to our Senators and Members at Ottawa, and to much larger payments in other and more important national Parliaments.

The British system of gratuitous

service had its distinction, certainly, and also some possible advantages, but the disadvantages were also con- siderable, and the plan was out of line with that adopted and approved by other nations of the civilized world. It made for centuries of the

House of Commons a sort of gen- tlcmen‘s club, and excluded almost entirely the poor man, or the man of moderate means from seeking or ob- taining a seat in that body. Only poor men of the highest talents could obtain a seat, and if a seat were obtained he could ill afford to attend upon his duties during the very long sessions.

The change now to be brought a-

bout is the natural result oi the re- peated extensions of the voting fran- chise and the awakened desire of the plain people to be represented in Parliament by the best of their own class. rather than by the wealthy or the titled mediocrities who had so of-

ten been chosen in the past. It means less of culture, perhaps, in the Bri- tish Parliamenta that are to be here-

after, but it also means a truer re- presentation of the people, by and for the people as we have it in Can- ada. We see no danger in the change, because the plan of paying represen- tatives, as other officials of the coun- try are paid for their public services

THE PATRIOT IS WRONG.

Under the so-called modusvivendi

American fishing vessels were allowed to fish in Canadian waters on pay- ment of a license fee of $1.50 per ton

of such vessels and were also permit- ted to purchase bait and supplies and to tranship their catch. This was not free fishing, brit fishing under license. The American negotiators were desir- ous' to secure free fishing, that is to have the above Privileges without lic- ense. This the Canadian ministers

very properly refused. The waters

within the three mile limit and the fish therein are ours, as much as the soil of the shore, and the license as- serts and confirms our proprietary right.

The reciprocity agreement does not

give American fishermen free fishing. It simply reduced the license fee from $1.50 per ton to the nominal sum of one dollar per vessel. Thus Canada still retains control and can seize unlicensed 'vassela and deal with them under Canadian law. What has

been agreed to neither increases nor diminishes the privileges American fishermen have heretofore enjoyed in our waters. They are granted a re- duction of the license fee and our

tishermen are given in return a free market for their fish. _

Fishing on the high seas, that is,

beyond the territorial limit of a marine league from shore, has al- ways been free to all the world. In the nature of things n. liccnse to catch fish can only rcfer to inshore fisheries, that is fisheries within the three mile limit.

SOCIAL EXTRAVAGl\N(`E.

In Europe and America ocial ex-

travagance has becontg wldesprcad

vice of the age. The 'répirf ccomu-

,quic-irened the pace 'argi"‘l'éd ‘to all

among the "new rich” 'who depended upon a show of wealth to conquer for themselves a place in the social circle to which they were not cntitled by birth or culture. The vice has spread to the old world-or rather gained a new prominence where it al- ,ready existed-in recent years.

"I should say that extravagance

was s, passport into society," wrote Mrs. Asquith recently. "This is not the language of some social satir- ist," says another writer, “but°of no less well-infofrmed a person than lMrs. Asquith, the wife of the Prime Minister. * * * But Mrs. Astpuith's `epigram does without doubt repre- sent the facts fairly accurately." This then is the state of society in the United Kingdom as well as else- where and it is a very undesirable state of affairs.

Tomorrow will be polling day in

the Second District of Queens. Now look out for a storm.

The angry vigor with which the

fishing interests of Gloucester are at- tacking the reciprocity agreement af- fords 'sufflcient evidence that Canadian fishing interests have not been jeo- pardised in the treaty. Gloucester would kill the agreement if it could, but the great body of consumers of ilsh want the duty taken off- I
