TARIFF AND RECIPROCITY
Discussed By Gov. Cummins at the
Annual Lincoln Day Banquet.
Given BY the Minneapolis Flambeau
Club, and Was Listened TO
With Great Interest.

Minneapolis, MINI, Feb. 13.-Gov.
Albert B. Cummins Of Iowa was the
principal speaker Friday evening at
the annual Lincoln day banquet given
by the Minneapolis Flambeau club at
the Hennepin County Republican as
ISOLATION. Five hundred sat down at
the festive board and listened atten-
lively to Gov. Cummins on 1.-THE Iowa
Idea"
Gov. Cummins' speech was a general
discussion of national issues, but the
portion related to tariff revision and
reciprocity was listened to with great
interest. Gov. Cummins said:
1.-THE time came at last when it was
seen, and at last understood, that
through wise and patriotic system OF
import duties we had utilized our own
resources and held our own markets
until We were prepared to invade with
our surplus the markets of every coun-
try In the world. 1t was felt that we
had entered upon the stage of the
worlds affairs, and that henceforth we
must be recokened with every turn Of
diplomacy in the paths of peace or in
the fields of war.
"The trouble between associated en-
ployes and associated employers has
reached point where it must be dealt
with by the government in a calm,
comprehensive way. The rights Of
both must be recognized, and when
recognized, must be protected and pre-
served"
In speaking of reciprocity, Gov. Cum
minis said:
I'VE want to sell Canada the things
we must buy. | appeal only for ne
gotiation. | have been accused of be-
ing in favor of free trade with Canada,
This accusation is as baseless as false
hood and malice combined can make
1t. But do believe that we should
cultivate more friendly relations with
Canada and the northwest"

I ennessee State News
To Test the Coal Oil Act.

A bill was filed in the Chancery
Court in Nashville last week to test
the constitutionality of the act of
1899, which made the office of coal
oil inspector salaried position, and
abolished the fee system. The bill
is filed by Hugh Petit of Memphis.
Mr.. Petit was commissioned coal
oil inspector of Shelby county by
Gov. McMillin in 1899, and was re-
appointed February 8, 1902. The
complainant claims that during his
administration he paid over to
Comptroller King $50, 504.7O, which
was the total fees collected by him
on inspections. Of this he received.
5000 as salary, The payment of
the collections was made by Mr.. Pet
tit under protest, he asserts. He
now seeks to recover the same on the
ground that the act of 1899, which
abolished the fee system, as it APP
piled to the office of coal oil inspec-
tor, was unconstitutional. Previous
to the passage of the act of 1899,
oil inspectors received all the fees
for inspection collected by them.
Upon the result of this case depends
many thousands of dollars, for it af-
fects every inspector in the State.

To Push Campaign ON Land.

London, Feb. 13,-The British gov
eriment has information which leads
1t to believe that Japan is likely to be in
possession of Port Arthur a week from
now. In the best-informed Japanese
circles here 1t is privately thought that
the war will be over by July. Those
British officials who are cognlzant of
the extraordinary thoroughness with
which Japan prepared for the war are
inclined to share the Japanese view
regarding the duration of the strug-
gle.

gone, said Friday

of the war, Russia, in allowing us to

Of q political nature between Mr.. Han

The red necktie has doomed up into
prominence again. This time it Is the
New Orleans Times-Democrat that
raises its voice in protest, The right
to wear red clothes, declares that pa
per, is not an inherent right SO far as
the male portion of the population Is
concerned, and no one has objected to
the female portion arraying themselves
in such colors as may be considered to
suit their compilations. But no man
has any vested right In complexion,
or If he has it should be taken away
from him at once as a thing annoying
II not dangerous to the public peace.
The face that requires a red necktie to
enhance its beauty should be at once
suppressed and the owner should be re-
quired to get another face or remain
in seclusion. The red necktie is con-
ira bonos mores and is an affront to
all good citizens and, being such.
should be relegated to the class Of pro-
hibited articles.
