What the Editors Say

Had we been writing the platform
we would have declared what every
one knows. That conditions have
changed since the passage of the Ding
ley law, and the tariff should be revised
TO meet these conditions. that the great
demand of the times is for wider mar
kets for the products of our fields.
STOCK ranges and factories; and when
ever such wider markets can be OBJ
tanned by reduction or removal of the
tarlff and the markets thus secured
are OF more value to the people as a
Who1e than the protection afforded by
the tariff, such revision should be made
and reciprocal treaties entered into

WHAT'S the use of standing pat on
the tariff question when we all know
that conditions demand revision?
When this question hits close to your
own pocketbook then you squeal and
SO do we. For instance, pulp, which

paper, IS getting scarce in the United
States, While Canada has thousands of
acres OF poplar trees that are going. to
waste because a tariff prevents us
using them. In the meantime the price
OF print paper continues to soar-Zum-

In politics the man who sits on the
fence never makes friend. A hot op-
ponent receives more respect than q
1ukewarm friend. Each question has

III you are man of convictions you
Will take the right side and publicly
announce to the world where you
stand. The man on the fence has never
done anything towards the. progress
of the human faee.s He is like the sign
board in this, that he always remains
In the same place.-Fergus Falls Free

Those who argue that the people may
OBTAIN relief from exactions of the
meat trust by letting meat alone
should not forget that it will be
necessary for those who drop meat
from the bill of fare to eat some
thing else to take it's place, and as
result other foodstuffs will also advance
in price. The solution of the meat
problem is the prosecution of the pack
ers' combine, and the time to do It is
new.-Duluth Herald.
1t is said of Judge Parker that his
candidacy invites the support of every
voter who conscientiously believes that
President Roosevelt's policy Of imperi-
aiisIn, militariSm and imitation Euro
peanlsm is dangerous to the republic.
Ills character, training and judicial eX-
perlence for score of years afford an
ample guarantee that he would make a
safe, sane, and conservative president.

1t is too bad the Democrats cannot
nominate candidates acceptable to the
Republican press. They object to Par
ker because he doesn't talk enough and
to Davis because he is too old. Their
two objections against Bryan We're that
he was too young and that he talked
too much.-Belle Plaine Herald.
The four men who successfully held
up a train in Otter Tail county in 1892
and were sentenced to twenty years
imprisonment, are applying for par
