Reform. porter. He is "a stoutly
built man of medium
height, with a we'll shaped head, crowned
with red hair, and mustache and i'm
perial of the same color He is known
at home as a hustler. but had never
taken any part in politics unit ii he came
ND for the gubernat0rial nomination of
his party. But he is keen observer of
men and has his handon the nulse of the
people of this section. | was talking with
him yesterday, when he said: NOW
and again hear rumOrs that our people
in congress may not pass a tariff bill.
1t would be utterly disastrous to the
party in the Northwest if Republican
congress should fail to do its duty in
this respect. We are in a peculiar posi-
ton on the tariff in the Northwest. Our
farmers have had large crops for years.
and have not been aDle to get good
prices. The free traders have been in
sidiously preaching to them the doc
trine that protection makes these low
prices of farm pl0iucts. 1t isn't
true, of course, but it has
its effect upon a large num-
Der of persons who are suffering
from causes they do not understand. LIZ
Our friends pass tariff bill in which
there is wholesome recognition and pro-
lection of the farmers, we will have no
trouble in the Northwest in any state.
Otherwise we will have to fight for
them. think there is general indorse-
ment among the people in our section
of the proposition to take the duty off
sugar. ! have heard hard-headed old
farmers say that we might better buy
up Louisiana and dump it into the Gulf
of Mexico than to continue taxing the
sugar importatiOnS as we do"

until the matter had been decided by
the highest state tribunal. Then. as it
was decided in my favor, | came on to
Washington. The Democratic position
is absurd. They admit that their
legislature could not pass a law
that would stand in the terri
tory, yet they presume to say that it IS
good enough to elect couple of sena-
tors. Its laws cannot stand. because
the supreme court of the state has de-
cided that it is not the legal legislature.
If its laws will not stand how can its
senators expect to be seated in Washing

discussing the qualities
of various statesmen when the question
came UP as to what public man was
most guarded in his utterances. One
named one public man and another
named another until they all backed
down before this story, which was told
by Minnesota man: ''There was party
of statesmen in st. Paul last year, among
whom were Senator Allison, of Iowa,
and ex-senator Sabin, OF our own state.
This very question came up. and they
were unanimous in naming Allison as
the man. Senator Sabin said to him.

GLIMPSE of the new South: .Aggrrga-
ton is the order of the day in the South
now, and is the spirit and genius of the
new South. In the old days it was ev-
cry man for himself and the devil for
us all. Segregation ruled. Each
man had his big plantation
and was isolated to some extent
from his neighbors. He ran things
alone and independently. Now we are
combining for large enterprises in land
and mineral fields and crop raising and
various enterprises, and the results are
railroad building and town lot booms
everywhere. We have no trouble about
capital for any legitimate enterprise, be-
cause the North has plenty for both
sections, and is ready to invest South
