The NEWEST Kind Of News
{ - DaD0r.

I 4. paper.
I OF course every man shouln be a
subscriber and reader of his home
paper. No community woula long
remain in peace and harmony that
ignored this simple rule of lice. But
there are other papers. It is about
Que of these that we feel like saying a
kindly word, not because it needs it,
but because it may be of benefit to
our readers.
There is now being published at
Minneapolis newspaper called The
Tribune. Nearly everybody in the
Northwest has heard about it. But
there are many to whom a years sub
scription would be like years
schooling; and it is for these and
others, too, who would be benefited
by it's perusal that we wish to point
out someo of its excellent qualities.
The Tribune is one of the newsy
kind of newspapers The kind that
covers the range of the worlds events
promptly, interestingly and with suffi-
cient brevity to enable the busy man
and woman to r. ad it and still do a
days work. The Tribune during the
past two years covered the PHILIPPINE
war and the South African war SC
fully, yet so perspicaciously that it left
nothing lacking.
In fact, what is true of the war new
is true of The Tribune's news in gen
eral-all the news, dished up hot and
boiled down to the clear broth.
The Tribune's cartoons are the
quintessence of fun and common senst
rolled into lump; all the people, ole
and yaung alike watch daily for tn.
lAtest creation of Bowman and bis dog
Nearly everybody nowadays is in
terested in photography. The Tri
bune's amateur Photographic feature
every Sunday is one of the cleverest
It is wonderful how finely some O
these pictures can be reproduced.
But there is still one more reaso,
F why we like The Tribune. It is al
ways loyalty Republican and loyal,
American-progressive and the oracl
ofprosperity and improving conditions
There was very trite saying frequent
ly said of The Tribune year or tw
ago which ran thus:
eff you don't read The Tribune
' you don't get the news"
Its "heery attitude and bright com
ment have suggested to US a para
phrase like this:
"If you do read The Tribune yo
won't have the blues"
We say it with all emphasis; it's
mighty good paper. You shouldn'
be without it.

RECIPROCITY WITH GERN4NY.
NOTHING ACCOMPLISHED RECENTLY. AL
THOUGH NEGOTIATIONS ARE TECHNI-
CALLY STILL IN PROGRESS.

Washington March 3-While technically speak
ing Negotiations for q reciprocity treaty between
the United States and Germany still in progress
practically nothing has been accomplished since
the departure OF the German Ambassador, DR.. Won
Hoeben for Germany early last summer. There
IS no disposition whatever the part of State
Department officials to embarrass the German Gov
eminent by insisting this time active
prosecution CT the negotiations. While far from
satisfactory, the existing condition Of American
export trade with Germany can, ii is believed by
the officials, be tolerated for short time The
officials are hopeful that the time will be short,
resting their belief not any direct assurance
from German authorities but rather reports or
the political situation in Germany. 1t is under
stood that when the German Government has
secured what II regards certain essentials of
legislation from the Reichstag IT will be in better
condition than at present 10 meet the expectations
OF the United States. At any rate. IL is a convic-
ton of this kind inspired the United States
Government TO avoid any urgent representations
connected with the reciprocity negotiations at this
There Is perhaps another reason for the mega
tive course taken by this Government. This is
desire 20 learn Just what effect the ratification by
the Senate OF the pending French reciprocity treaty
would have on the German Government II is said
by the officials here that as the French treaty
gives preferential rates TO many articles which
United States. the effect of the practical appca-
ton of the French treaty would be TO give TO
now occupied by Germany. To this important
trade 70 her manufacturers, Germany must. 1t IS
argued, secure similar RECIPROCITY treaty, ana
this only be secured by an abatement OF the
restrictions American meats and other products.
Thus. by a natural working Of the laws of trade
and commerce, 1t is thought by the ohlciais that
this Government may be able to avoid recourse
10 the tremendous powers lodged in the President
prohibit trade with a nation which discrminates
against the United States.

Mr.. ROSS ON THE QUAY CASE
HE HOLDS THAT RECESS APPOINTMENTS
BY A GOVERNOR ARE INVALID
ley TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUNE.

Washington March 3.-Senator Ross. Of Yer
mont, whose speech early in the present session
on the legal and constitutional status of the
new dependencies lifted him at once to the front
rank as an expert in Constitutional construc-
ton, put on record briefly to-day his views as
70 the scope and validity Of recess appointment
titles to seats in the upper house. Mr.. Ross
sustained the judgment of the majority of the
Committee on Privileges and Elections that re-
cess appointments can properly be made only
when the Legislature of a State has had no op-
portunity to elect. and argued consequently that
on the admitted facts of the Quay case the
Governor of Pennsylvania possessed no legal
power to supply vacancy which the Legislat-
ure had deliberately and persistently declined
to fill.
Mr.. Ross said his conclusion that Mr.. Quay
should not be seated had been reached after a
careful study OF the Constitution. and his argu-
1nent was based entirely on his construction OF
that instrument He contended that, under the
constitutional provision vacancy in the SEN
ate could only be filled when it occurred in a
recess of the Legislature. The Quay case did
not, TO his mind meet this requirement
