In these days of greed, it is hardly to
be expected that man would not at
tach to himself all possible credit for
things good and in the interest of
humanity, but that ex-senator Gilbert
Pierce of the Minneapolis Tribune
should claim for the Northwestern SEN
ators in the last congress the glory for
the present cheapness of sugar is dis
play of greed that is wonderfully over
reaching. Now, what are the facts in
the matter? The senate of two yea1s
previous prepared tariff bill in which
they reduced the duty on sugar one-half.
The lower house of the last congress
was not content with this reduction,
and it is due to the Northwestern Con.
gressmen, not senators as Pierce would
have it, that we now have sugar up to
No. Is Dutch Standard on the free list.
The house members also reduced the
duty on refined sugars to four mills. In
the senate this was raised, not lowered,
Mr.. Pierce, to six mills. When it came
into the hands of the conference com.
mittee, the Northwestern members of
the loa0er house again asserted their
wishes and reduced it again to FIVE.
These are the facts in the case and SEN
ator Pierce knows it. If he were fair,
he would place the credit where it be-
longs, and not upon himself.

The circulating library, we are told,
is not patronized to the extent that it
should be. Turn it into public insti-
tuition, increase the number of volumes,
and with a little work on the part of a
few it will soon be thing to be priced.

The Pioneer Press says that while
Mr.. Merriam may have amused his i'm
agination with passing dreams of sue
ceeding G. K. Davis, it is hardly credi'
BILE that he has entertained any serious
purpose to be candidate for the Unit
ed States senatorship. The Press gives
itself away in its first admission. A
man seldom has pleasant dreams. but
what he really likes to see them real
lied. It is ten to one with the Review
that Mr.. Merriam not only dreams OF
such an agreeable streak of political
fortune by night, but that he dreams
and plots for it by day as we'll.

few of the clan get Offices, we should
