Cold Bath for Tariff Changes

Secretary Root and Senator Lodge got
together in Boston last night and douched
tariff revision and reciprocity with ice
water. ST.
j Mr.. Root gave us another version Of the
grand old, simple doctrine preached in the
wilderness by Mark Hanna, the same be-
ing popularity known as Let well enough
alone Don't do anything to the tariff
until you have to, urged Mr.. Root, and
don't do anything under any circum-
stances until after the next presidential
election. But if times continue good the
doctrine Of leaving things to themselves
will be just as good in 1905 as now. and
that sort of postponement cannot be kept
up very long. if the tariff is to be revised
by its friends
There is probably not one man in q

The progressive agricultural state OF

A Logical Winner.

1t is said that the Comstock bill, re-
moving the university and the normal
schools from the authority of the board
of control will probably be passed by the
state senate, which has SO far voted in
favor of two bills restricting the boards
sphere, of activity. There is no reason
why senators who have voted for a lar,
ger degree of restriction should not vote
for a lesser one, seeing that they have
been unable. to get all they want.
The probabilities are that the fate Of
the Comstock bill (Perley bill in the
housed will be determined by the house.
The stand heretofore taken by the house
on bills relating to the board. of control
shows that the friends of that institution
haye a narrow majority. If the Com
stock bill were to be regarded as an anti
board of control bill it would be. defeated.
But it is not such bill, and should not
be so regarded. If it had not been for
the willingness of the friends of the uni
versity and the normal schools in the last
legislature to subject those institutions
to the annoyance and inconvenience OF
being temporarily put in a classification
they do not belong to, there would have
been no board of control. The question
came to such a point that the board OF
control idea, with all it meant, would
have to be abandoned unless the university
and the normal schools were to a certain
extent placed under the proposed board $
authority. Rather than see great re-
form defeated, the friends of the purely
educational institutions consented to an
arangement which they knew time would
demonstrate to be undesirable. They
were the original promoters of the board
of control project, and they refused to
be driven from their guns by an amend
ment that was wrong but in no way al
fected the vital principle of the board OF
control system.
Time has proved that they were right.
Hardly any. one now contends that the
normal schools and the university prop
erly belong to the board Of control The
differences that now exist in the leglsla-
ture are largely between friends and OPP
ponents of the board sof control idea; and
between those who think that restriction
of tie boards authority should stop with
the removal of; the university and the
normal schools, and thoseTwho think the
restriction should CD further. TO b.
sure. it is natural that some of the sup
porters of the defeated bills should be
inclined to vote at the prompting of some
thing like revenge instead of reason; bu
we have too much confidence in the sanity
and sound Judgment 81 the representative
to believe that more than an inslgnlflcan
number, if any, Of them will vote in tina
spirit. -..-f1; J; I'LL:

The political theory of rewarding a good
public official with black eye died a
timely death in the lower house of the
legislature. This novel and evil idea was
fathered by man named Wilson, who
managed to break into the legislature
from Worthington. In some strange way
he conceived the notion that he would be
serving his constituents by securing legis-
lation that would, in effect, rebuke the
public examiner for his perpicious activity
in making the railway companies pay up
about 100000 in back taxes. Yesterday
the house Indefinitely postponed Mr.. Will
sons measure. We hope his constituents
will now rise to the occasion and indef-
n1tely postpone Mr.. Wilson's return to
the legislature. Worthington needs a. rep
resentatve in the legislature. -. ::**>s@ Z

"Greater Boston" is looking ine, with

trees and Towering shrubs. The tulips
in the public gardens are now past
blooming, and other plants are taking

Wherever there is a back yard large
enough for few trees the trees are to be
seen, both useful and ornamental. Apple
trees are in full bloom, pear and cherry
trees out Of blossom and setting the
fruit.
The scribe has had an opportunity to
study street repairing, a job of this sort
being done, and it may interest some
reader to know the ethod. 1t was very
muddy on that particular street in the
spring, though quite dry now.
First came q steam roller with two
wheels or rollers armed with spikes which
tore up the top Of the street to the depth
OF few inches, while third roller Ia
plain. After the tearing up is done the
spikes are ungeared in some way, so that
all are plain.
Next came teams and men to shovel of
all the loose, rocky soil that had been
torn up, and this is carted off to fill up
holows In other streets.
Then layer OF finely crushed stone is
spread over, and this is filled in with
sandy soil and well sprinkled and rolled;
then last layer of fine earth is spread,
sprinkled and rolled, and "there you are"
