The newspaper press exists to col

ment on the events and ideas of the day.
Its place in education is like that OF the
pulpit. 1t is incidental, not essential.
The woollen manufac Lrers of New
England have been interviewed by a
Boston paper as to the reason for the
depression in their business. All OF
them say it Is due to the uncertainty as
to what congress will do about the tariff.
They all believe that the tariff on wool
will be repealed and that free wool may
be expected by next April. This proba-
bly, accounts for the DISCRIMINATION OF
the wool market.

we are of the opinion, furthermore, that
mistakes of this kind would be avoided

Those who want the office the next round

harm from this procedure.
