HIS WISH GAINED AT LAST,
Many Years Through Which Attorney
General Griggs Waited Patiently to
Address the Supreme Court.

After his great speech on the colonial
test case had been delivered in the
supreme court the other day, and he
had received the congratulations of
many members of the bar and promi-
nent senators upon his success, Attor-
ney General Griggs told me of his first
visit to the supreme court chamber.
1t was years ago, according to Collier s
Weekly, when he was young and
strugglings.lawyer. He. knew no one
in Washington except the congressman
from his district This congressman
took him to the supreme courtroom,
and the slender young lawyer sat
and looked at the nine black -robed JUS
tices and realized that they constituted
the greatest tribunal on earth, he says
he heaved d sigh and said to himself
Before die I want the honor OF
standing just once before that court
and addressing it upon case of law. -
Little did the young lawyer ther
think that he was going to have the
great privilege not only of addressing
the court, but of speaking to it as the
representative of the United States
government upon the most important
question the court has considered in 6
generation. f..not..in its. history.

STATE SUMMER SCHOOL.
Will Open In Mankato Next Monday at
the Normal School Building.

The state summer training school
for Blue Earth, Watonwan and Nicollet
counties opens at Mankato next Mon

this is to be the largest summer train
ing school ever held in southern Min
nesota. enrolling some 300 teachers.

the state can select and each member
is a specialist in the subject he
teaches, 80 nothing but the best will be
presented. Three county superintend-
ents will direct general discussions in
school management and the faculty
will give general discussions upon the
best method of presenting each sub
ject. Several evening lectures will be

tunity for self advancement and in

and have a right to expect every
teacher to take advantage of this occa-
sion for self improvement in their
chosen profession.

DON'T GET EXCITED.

1t is quite probable that strong at
tempt will be made at the session of
congress next winter to either revise
the tariff entirely or to change it con-
siderable as regards several articles.
1t is said that President Mckinley
will oppose any attempt at revision,
but will press the reciprocity treaties
before the senate and strongly urge
their ratification. On the other hand
Congressman Babcock will attempt to
have bill considered which has for
its purpose the repeal of the duties on
all articles which are manufactured by
the big steel combine. This has called
forth considerable unnecessary COM
ment of severe nature from advocates
of high tariff and even threats as to
what will be done with Mr.. Babcock,
if he persists in pressing his measure,
are INDUCED in, This is folly, for
they are as extreme in their views as
Mr.. Babcock seems to be in his. The
central idea of Mr.. Babcock seems to
be that the removal of these duties
complete. will crush the great COM
bine. The great combine is of such
gigantic proportions that the tariff
probably makes but little difference to
it one way or the other. But the COM
plete removal of these duties would
make a great deal of difference with
many Ill concerns scattered all over
the country for the big combine has
not yet crushed out all of the smaller
manufacturers. 1t is altogether prob
able that the tariff in many particu-
lars could be reduced next winter, to
the advantage of the country, and if
so it is folly for those who advocate
extremely high duties to stand in the
way, for if they persist in such
course, some day they are going to get
severe jolting up. On the other
hand the American people are in no
humor for free trade. They got all
the taste of that article they care for
under the step in that direction by
Democracy in 1898. They cannot be
hoodwinked by the Cry of tariff re-
moval to regulate or crush combines for
they are we'll aware that the tariff is not
the cause of great combines, and that
if in any way it removal did effect a
big combine injuriously upon this side
of the Atlantic, it would simply be for
the benefit of big one on the other
side, and most Americans had rather
that our own capital and our own
labor get the benefit.
The abusing of Mr.. Babcock by the
extreme high tariff advocates, or the
reverse by those who believe as Mr..
Babcock does, will not help matters in
the least. A more moderate course
will be much better for the country.
A revision of the duty on those ar
ticles where it can safely be reduced
without endangering the interests of
the many small manufacturers inter
ested, would doubtless be one of the
best things congress could engage in
at it's next session. But the idea of
protection will hardly be abandoned by
the people of this country for good
many decades TO come.

CONGRESSMAN Jenkins of Wisconsin
is.going.r to-. introduce bill at the
next session of congress which will
permit free spublic libraries to send
books, pamphlets, papers and maya
zines free @of postage when addressed
to persons who receive mail on any
free ruralssdelivery route starting from
the placeaawhere the library is located.
If the same are returned by mail
they are to,be subject to second class
postage. Mr.. Jenkins holds that as
the library is supported by taxation
the mail service ought to be made
available for the purpose of distribu-
tion as far as possible.
cat first glance, says the Mime
apolis Journal, ''this might seem like
a plan to load up the rural free de-
livery with a good deal of heavy, bulky
matter at the expense of the rural car
rier. Perhaps it would be something
of an additional burden to him, and
yet the probabilities are that on no
route would the number OF books de-
livered at any one time be sufficient to
become a serious burden, and GER
tainly there is in the scheme benevo
lent idea. Public libraries are becom
ing quite numerous in the smaller
cities and towns from which the rural
routes radiate. This plan would GER
tainly make their advantages available
to great many more people than are
now able to make use of them, or at
least, than are now disposed to make
use of them, and to this extent it
would be of considerable public
benefit"
