BURNING QUESTIONS.

The Chicago Tribune speaks OF the
tariff question as burning question and
says that "the people will not be con-
tent with a stand. pat policy" AS the
republican party went into the cam
paign with a platform that promised no
tariff reform and won great victory it
seems little inconsistent for a repub-
lican paper to say that "the people will
not he content with a stand-pat policy"
The republicans generally consider the
election as an endorsement of every
thing that the republican party has done,
is doing or expects to do If the repub-
lcan party is expected to reform the
tariff after refusing to promise it. why
not expect it to enforce the criminal
clause OF the Sherman law about which
it made no promise? Possibly the re-
publican victory wasn't an endorsement,
of republican policies at all.

INVITING WAR.

The St. Joseph's News and Press calls
attention to the following editorial which
appeared in the New York Sun some
twelve years ago:
If we could manage to pick fight with
some nation that would not be contempt.
BILE as an antagonist. the material benefit
10 the country would be enormous. Pa.
triotic feeling would be promoted, the
commercial spirit would no longer be go
distinctly in the ascendant, foreign i'm.
migrants would be entirely absorbed by
fighting with a common enemy. The
only things against war are that we
cannot find An enemy big enough for US,
willing to fight, and that there would be
a big bill to pay, including pensions.
This is view of war that is likely to
grow with large navy. These who lean
to great ornaments are inclined to meas
ure patriotism by service upon the battle
field, while those who believe in peace
measure patriotism by rule that gives
credit for helpful service in behalf oil
ones country and ones fellows.

"SALARY GRABBING.'

1t is doubtful if Senator Stewards bill
for increase in salaries of the president,
ice.president and members of congress
will be received with greater favor than
has been ( accorded other measures
framed for similar purpose. Although
there have been repeated changes in the
pay schedule OF these officials since 1889,
few if any of them were made without
protest from the public.
The first congress voted that it's mem.
bers be paid $6 day and Sc for each 20
miles travelled, coming and going. This
remained in force until 1915, when the
salary was made 1900 year. From
1917 tot 1855 it was IS day; from 1866
to 1865, So, 900 q year; from 1865 to 1871,
S., 900 a::year; from 1871 10 1874, $500
year, and since 1874, $4,000 year.
The vice.president, the president pro
tempore::of.the senate andlthe speaker Of
the house receive $1,000 year.
The change in 1916 from Sc per day to
81 500 a year was received with great
disfavor, Ebut.. the protest was mild COM
pared with the..storm Of Indignation that
swept the:country when provision was
made in 1873 for general increase in
federal salaries. The act of March 3,
1873, provided that.the presidents salary
be increased from ..$25,0O0 to $4,000,
that of the chief justice from $500 to
0,5OO, those Of the v'ce.president, cabi.
net officers, associate justices and speaker
of the house from $4,000 to $40 500, and
of senators and representatives from
S., 900 to $500. Another act Of March
4, 1873, was retroactive as affecting the
salaries OF members of congress during
the previous two years, and this, which
gave rise TO the term 'salary grab" ex.
oited so MULTIPLICATION that the laws
were repealed, :excepting those affecting
the president and justices.

CITY FINANCES.

An examination 0, the finances of the
CITY of Aberdeen reveals much better
condition than they have been in since
the collapse. OF the loom in the early
zoos, and, were it not for the heavy ex.
pendltures, rendered necessary largely
by the fire, during the past year, the
city woull be in better ehape financially
today than it has been at any period OF
its existence ST. ce it numbered 900 in
habitants.
The main expense during the past
year was the water system, which one
year ago WAS in such condition as to
almost leave the city at the mercy Of a
fire. At cost Of about $40, 900, the sys-
tenn has been improved, and will, when
present contracts are completed, be in
excellent condition for a number Of
years.
Street work occasioned the next largest
item of expense, nearly $25 900 having
been expended in this department.
Much of this work was caused directly
by the fire of 1903. although the city's
portion of:...new streets amounted to
5000 So.
No city has ever had the rapid growth
of Aberdeen without straining its
finances. To. hew city out OF the rough
costs money, more money than those
accustomed to older cities are apt to
realize, but the permanent improvements
made are but necessary investments,
which, if Wisely done, yield good returns.

Germany is considering he proposition
Of investing $500 600, 600 more in larger
navy and larger army as an insurance
against war. If the idea of Secretary
of the Navy Morton is carried out in this
country we will have to spend not less
than $3.50 100000 in order to have a
"lat ger and bet err army and navy" than
Germany's. Then Germany will have
to make it $500, 100000, which will call
for at least $3.50, 900, 900 for our land and
sea forces. At this rate of progress, if
the money of the people held out, there
would not be enough room in the oceans
to float the two navies, and the soldiers
would be SO thick that one couldn't gee
mere civilian with microscope.

CROOKED WORK IN COLORADO,

Alva Adams, who, on the face of the
returns, was chosen governor of Colo.
RADIO at the last election, naturally oh.
jects to being counted.out by any scheme
that contemplates rejecting all fraudu-
lent democratic. votes and counting all
republican votes, regular and fraudulent
and otherwise.
Mr.. Adams says he wants no tainted
seat, but he quite: dislikes to
see his opponent given seat that may
be tainted. He believes that frauds
were committed in Colorado, and he says
he does not wish to gain by them; but
he insists that thel frauds committed
with view to tenefitting him and also
the frauds committed to benefit others
be exposed, soSthat the man who is final
ly seated asrgovernor may have assur.
ance that he is fairly entitled to the
place.
The suggestion, therefore, that the
matter OF the election be turned over to
a bipartisan commission that may hear
evidence, examine ballots and report its
findings to the court is one that will pro.
badly appeal to many Colorado citizens
of both parties, would like to see the
question of the election of governor
settled on it's merits, with an incident al
rebuke to men of all parties who have
been concerned in dishonest elections.
The problem Of first importance in Colo.
RADIO should be not to determine as to
who was elected governor last month,
but as to whether there is to be an end
to crooked elections.

THE HEARST BILL.

The Hearst bill which seeks to extend
the powers of the interstate commerce
comm ssion is just now attracting con-
siderable attention. The history OF
case recently decided by Judge Morrow
in the United States Circuit court OF Cali
fornia is used by Mr.. Hearst's news
papers to illustrate the value OF the
Hearst bill, This case was concerned
with the freight rate on sugar from San
Francisco to Kearney, Neb. The original
petition was fled with the interstate
commerce commission in 1890 and this
was amended IN 1894. The case came
to hearing before the commission In
1895 and the findings were rendered in
March, 1900. Now, more than four years
later, the FINDINGS are reviewed by the
circuit court.
Commenting upon this decision, Mr..
Hearst's newspaper says: 1.-The delays
are not due to the courts or the commits
sion, but to the ingenuity OF corporation
lawyers in finding excuses for postpone q
ment. Under the present law the cor.
porations have everything to gain and
nothing to lose by delay. If the Hearst
bill becomes law this advantage will be
taken from the corporations and every
delay will prove expensive to them 1t is
one OF the most important objects con-
tempated by the Hearst bill to expedite
decisions in cases dealing with railroad
rates."

GODPARENTs.

An Ancient Institution, Doubtless Of
Jewish Origin. ,t
We must doubtless look to the Jews
for the origin Of godfathers and god
mothers. The use of them in the print
tive church is so early that 1t is not
easy to fix a time for their beginning.
Some Of the most ancient fathers make
mention Of them, and through all the
successive ages afterward we find the
use of them continued without any IN
terruption. BY a constitution Of Ed
mund. archbishop Of Canterbury, 1896,
and in synod held at Worcester,
1910, a provision was made that there
should be for every male child two
godfathers and one godmother and for
every female one godfather and two
godmothers. King Henry VIII. refer
ring to the Princess Elizabeth, says:
My lord Of Canterbury.
I have a suit which you must not deny
That ia. a fair young maid that yet wants
baptism.
You must be godfather and answer for
her.
Henry v111.." Act s. Scene g.
A constitution Of 1881 makes provi-
sion for Christian name being
changed at confirmation. This Is prac-
tically remaining Of the child. The
manner in which it was done was for
the bishop to use the name in the invo-
cation and afterward for him to sign a
certificate that he had so confirmed a
person by such new name. 1t is posi-
BILE that this practice might have been
in Shakespeare's mind when he wrote:
Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized.

Peter was good workman, but he
would go on sprees. His employer was
lenient, but when Peter turned up aft
er having been absent for couple Of
days without leave he discharged him.
But Peter did not take his discharge
seriously and went back to work as
usual. Again he went on a spree, and
again he was discharged and taken
back. These little eseapades had been
repeated four or I'VE times within a
couple Of years, when Peter walked
into the shop ono morning looking
much the worse for his celebration.

People who complain of growing dis
respect for the courts might learn Why
the courts are not respected as of yore by
keeping in touch with court decisions.
In Hartford, Conn, court two senten-
ces were imposed on the same day, and
they deserve attention. An ex judge,
who embezzled trust funds to the amount
OF So, 572 was sentenced to one year in
jail. A man who had stolen horse was
sentenced to two years and six months
in the state prison. This sort OF things
is go common that there is small wonder
why men are not so respectful as they
were towards the courts of the land.
