dav night last at which they decided
to have the schools open Tor the com

The superintendent reported that
at the recent examination Tor teach

applicants and that none had sue

The board will be apt to encounter

The growing demand for tariff r e
form Is reaching the most benighted
regions where Republicauism flourish
es. Even in darkest Pennsylvania there
is a CLEAN of light and the clouds are
breaking down in Maine for the Port
land Argus reports that;
THE need of tariff revision is be-
coming so pressing, the evidence o
that fact is becoming so obvious, that
the business community OF Maine is
being aroused to action. The stand
pat attitude of the Republican party
on the tariff question has ceased to
command the respect of the business
com nusity OF this State. There is
growing demand for reciprocity and
.ore liberal trade relations with
abroad"
The stand patters had best make
up their minds to the inevitable for
tariff revision is sure 10 come in spite
OF them. When the new prohibitive
tar ffs OF Germany and other counties

Il and for America1 products decline
even the most hide bound protection
list will see whittier we are drifting.
Those farmers, stock growers and
workingmen who have been voting
the Republican ticket are beginning
( to see that the Demos ratio plan tf
tariff reform to induce fair trade" is
their only salvation.

Senator Hanna. if alive, would GER
tainly gaze with amaZement on the
OF special agent Lin
coin Hutchinson of the Departmer
OF Commerce and Labor, that to pay a
ship subsidy for a fast steamship
line to Brazil would be practically
worthless as a drawing card for more
trade with that country. Senator Frye
and the other hunters in Congress will
view such reports as rank heresy and
the prospect of the taunts oil the DEM
ocrats when they oppose the measure
in the coming Congress, az they have
10 former ones, adds tosthe constirna-
ton of the stand patters. But perhaps
it will not do to raise our hopes too
high on the prospect of defeating the
ship subsidy steal. for the report may
vet be "doctored." Since Mr.. Garfield
issued the report that the Beef Trust
was only making two per cent profit
and less than one dollar head on the
cattle slaughtered, reports from that
quarter must be received with eau
ton.

The Railroads are discovering that
they cannot-buy all the newspapers
although it is their declared purpose
to do SO. Mr.. George v S. Michael who
has charge of the railroad publicity
bureau at Chicago declared when in
terviewed:
1t Is my purpose to send out all the
material can get, favorable to our
side of the question, to the newspap-
ers. Where cannot get them to take
it as news matter, or to be used edi-
toriallv, 1 shalt buy space in the pap
ers, and give our side publicity in
that manner"
Where the railroad bureau has
struck suag is that nearly every
town has a merchants association Of
some kind and since the rate legisla-
ton has sprung up these associations
are allied to obtain reasonable rates.
The merchants are advertisers and
that keeps a good many newspapers
in the straight and narrow path that
might otherwise be tempted to sell
their columns to the railroads.

eggs in the Republican nest. But
what a reliefto the people. to the
farmers and workingmen especially,
and to those OF limited incomes in
particular, would be the resulting re-
duction in the cost 81 living if the
Trusts were disturbed. As it is now
the people of foreign countries are
sharing the benefits of protection with
the trusts, by reason of their selling
their products cheaper abroad team

tie top prices.
How long this era Of high trust
prices shall continue is in the hands
of the Independent voters, and there
l, only one way they can abolish
III monopoly that the tariff fosters.
and that is by voting for tariff re-
formers. The Republicans have
promised tariff revision and President
Roosevelt has endorsed the promise,
but the Republican leaders are again
determined to let the tariff revision
note go to protest on the ground that
it would disturb business to pay it.
Some of these Republicans say stand

Fatal Accident.

Mr.. Herman w. Mailman, who for
several years, has been private Ste
nographer to Senator II. G. Davis,
died at the Davis Memorial hospital
at Elkins on Monday morning last.
The cause OF his death was an acct
dent which occurred to him at
Midvale where he was camping with
a party OF young friends. While in
bathing he dived into the water and
and struck his head against a rock
iujuIing his spine SO as to cause
paralysis.
We had the pleasure of an intimate
acquaintance with the young man and
had the highest respect for him. He
was splendid young fellow.a consis
tent member OF the Episcopal church.

Tho exoosure OF corruption and
grating in the Agricultural Depart
ment is bring a curious state OF at
fairs to light in connection with the
meat inspection business. 1t appears
from interview with DIR. Salmon,
chief of the bureau Of animal indus
try. that the Beet Trust Companies
have been favored by having their
products inspected while the smaller
packers have been refused inspection
and some of them driven out OF the
business in consequence.
The National Daily Review is au-
thority for the following:i
..The house committee on aRricul-
ture, of which Congressman James
Wadsworth of New York is chairman
is declared frequently to have ca ution-
ed the bureau of animal induitry, OF
which DIR. H. E. Salmon Is head not
to extend the inspection service into
the small packing hon ses."
"rhe beef trust in 1904 forced two
companies out of business in Kansas
City. The beef trust influence is
strong n Kansas City. and suddenly
an ordinance was passed prohibiting
the sale of any but government In
spected meat.
The Missouri Milling and Cattle
company asked the chief meat inspec-
tor, DR.. Bennett, to assign inspectors
to its plant. Answer was made that
there was no authority for the in
spection OF meat OF companies not DO
ing interstate or export business.

who do an interstate business, wrote
..It seems that the large companies
have no trouble il getting inspectors.
Why are the smaller houses discrimi-
rated against. "
Secretary Wilson replied. "Cou-
eress has warned the department not
to extend the meat inspection to
small houses. I am simply trying to
carry out the desire of Congress and
keep within the appropriation"
So Repu blican Congress is re-
sponsible for tavoIing the Beef Trust
and annihilating competition between
the trust and its smaller competitors.
No wonder the price of beef is high.
