MAY ABANDON FREE TRADE
BalfOur Agrees with Chamberl,S,,
That Such a Course Is Absolute.
ly Necessary to Empire's
Progress.

London, May 3o.-On the motion be-
ing made for the Whitsuntide adjourn
ment of the house of commons, Sir
Charles Dixie (advanced libe-aD raised
a discussion Friday on the fiscal
views recently enunciated by Colonial
Secretary Chamberlain. Sir Charles
maintained that Mr.. Chamberlain had
suggested revolutionary change in
the governments policy, which was
opposed to all the traditions and to the
opinions of an overwhelming ma iority
in parliament.
He considered that while the policy
of the government as outlined at the
recent colonial conference was dam
gerous, it fell far short of the policy
now suggested.
Defends Chamberlain.
Premier Balfour prefaced his reply
with the remark that Sir Charles Dixie
Willmar tribune., 1903-06-03

had attempted to make mischief be-
tween the colonial secretary and him.
self, but any such attempt would fail.
He contended that after the resolution
of the colonial conference Mr.. Cham
berlain was bound to raise the subject
of preferential trade for public dis
cussion.
Mr.. Balfour deprecated "waving
the ragged, moth-eaten flags of either
the protectionist or the free trade side
in the controversy now as far removed
as the poles from the controversy of
half century ago." The premier then
proceeded to argue that the tendency
was to raise tariff wall against Brit
ish goods.
Dependent on Others.
. Great Britain, he said, must become
more and more dependent on foreign
countries for food, and, owing - ex-
terror tariffs, would find herself COM
PEELED to dispose of her exports on on
erous terms, resulting in enormous
loss to the community, He, therefore,
argued that the time had come when
it should be publicly discussed whether
the doctrine that revenue was never to
be raised except for the purpose of ex-
penditure must not be abandoned.
Favors Freedom Of Speech.
The premier declared that there
was no contradiction between the
views of Mr.. Chamberlain and his own;
but he defended the rioht of anv min.
ister to freedom of speech. This fiscal
question required the most careful ex-
animation. He was not certain that
the scheme was practicable, but un-
less some scheme was devised, the en-
pire could not progress.
Replying to question Lord Gran
borne said that so far as the British
foreign Office was aware Germany
alone had threatened reprisals i on
Canada in consequence of the latter
granting preferential treatment to
British goods.

and the president rose in his car
riage and bowed in response to their
wild cheering.
The procession proceeded through
the business section to the city and
county buildings. Excursion trains
had been run from every point of the
state, and it is probable that more
than $4,000 people saw and cheered
the president here. Among the spec
tators We're many old Mormons,
many of whom had come across the
plains with Brigham Young.
Nine thousand school children,
every one of them waving a flag,
greeted President Roosevelt as he
stepped from his carriage and mount
ed platform. The reception given
him by the youngsters evidently
pleased the president very much and
he smiled and bowed repeatedly.
After speaking moment to the
children, the president reviewed the
long parade and then, reentering his
carriage, was driven to the Taber-
nacle. When President Roosevelt
stepped forward after an introduce
tion by Gov. Wells, 11,000 people rose
to their feet and cheered wildly for
fully minute. The president spoke
in eulogy of the Utah pioneers, who,
he said, came here not to exploit the
land and then 60 somewhere else,
but to built homes. Secretarys
Moody and Wilson also spoke brief
ly. Secretary Moody aroused con-
siderable enthusiasm by promising
to name battleship Utah if con-
gress would grant him five battle
ships at the next session. Leaving
the tabernacle the president was driv-
en- to Senator Kearns' residence for
luncheon and rest. This was entire
ly an informal affair. President
Joseph, E. Smith, of the Mormon
church, Senator Smoot. Gov. Wells,
Congressman Howell and a few per-
sonal friends of the president and
Senator Kearns made up the party.
Odgen, Utah, May 30.-President
Roosevelt was greeted here by thou
sands of people gathered from all
the counties Of northern Utah. At a
pavilion on the public square the
president was welcomed by Mayor
Glasmann in a few words. Senator
Reed Smoot then introduced the
president, who spoke briefly. =

Asks for Restraining Order.

Philadelphia, May 29.-The Western
Union Telegraph company Thursday
asked the United States circuit court
of appeals to issue an order restrain
ing the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany from continuing the removal of
Western Union poles and wires from
the lines of the railroad. The request
is made on the ground that the tele-
graph company has appealed to the
United States supreme court from a re-
cent decision of the court of appeals,
which held that the railroad company
had a legal right to remove the poles
and wires from along it's right of way.

spread over ~ square miles of the city

IA and another 50, but in the midst st

Aid for the Sufferers.
Large contributions have already
been received for the benefit of the suf-
ferers. The amount given by Topeka
citizens alone will aggregate $100, 900.
TO this is to be added an immense
quantity of clothing, provisions and
general supplies. Outside towns have
generously offered aid, notably among
which is Galveston, Tex. The portion
of Topeka not affected by the flood is
crowded with refugees, and people
from the surrounding country who
have come to witness the food condi-
tions.
A Scene Of Desolation.
{, North. Topeka is q scene of utmost
desolation. Not a square foot of land
can be seen in any direction. There is
but a small chance of any of the resi-
dences being left standing at the end
Of the food period. Sherry, Oakland

Judge j. f. Gordon has won the
race of his life, His victory is
complete and marks him as pol.
itician of no ordinary ability and
fighter worthy of his steel. His
opponent, ex.Judge c. j. Pratt, is
auan of recognized ability, ju-
rlst the equal of any in the State,
and MS a political leader he is as
tute in the extreme. To com bat
successfully such An Antagonist, a
man many years his elder, of long
political life, and in district
equally divided as to votes, is in
deed feat to be proud of. Hop
kins, Judge Gordon's home coun-
ty, stood by him to a man. His
vote there is a compliment to him
and shows how he stands at home.
Old Livingston stood like Il
stone wall. Crittenden with two of
her own sons-Black burn and Con
ger-running: stood by them but
not strong enough to overcome
Livingston's lead Grayot and
Butler got an endorsement in their
home county, Livingston, which
they should feel proud of to their
dyine day Grayot's vote all over
the 4th judicial district was ex.
ceedingly complimentary TO him,
and was up to the best as good
rs any Of them got, not excepting
the Governor.
The 18th judicial district may
feel safe in the hands of these men
tried and true, both of whom are
worthy of the many trusts that
have been conhded to them.
Everett Butler, as the successor
to Hon f. NJ. Pogue will win new
lsurels in the legislative halls and
will on all occasions make his
home people feel proud of him.

The County Seat Question.

The board of county commissioners
at the July session refused to call an
election to permanently locate the county
seat, although strongly urged to do so.
A writ Of mandamus was threatened by
the parties who are agitating the mat
ter but the board adjourned before the
writ could be served.
The county seat was temporarily 10
Gated at Kiowa in 1874, "until the next
general election" A good many general
elections have been held since that time
but it seems that majority OF the board
has always been opposed to submitting
the question Of permanent location to
the people. Now that the county ofiic
ials are cramped for lack of room and
realizing that sooner or later "a new court
house must be built to accommodate the
increasing business of the county. the
question Of permanent location for the
county seat naturally comes up for dis
cussion. This question should and un-
doubtedly will be settled soon, and we
have heard many people remark that
they were ready to have it settled at any
