The Presidents Attitude.

The Sioux City Journal, one of the
rock-ribbed republican newspapers OF
Iowa, sees in the attitude of President
Roosevelt a determination, when the
proper time arrives, to move on the
senate and house for tariff revision.
The presidents latest action-apparent-
ly dropping the subject of revision for
that of railroad rate revision, does
not mean that the president does not
see the need of tariff modification. 1t
simply means that he is disposed to
push where he thinks his strength for
the time is most needed. Nor can it
be maintained that the disposition of
the railroad question. and related aues-
lions involving great corporate interests,
will not measurably clear the way for
effective dealing with our relations to
foreign commerce. In a way, therefore,
it is timely to keep up the popular
discussion of the tariff question, but not
with a view of immediate results in a
legislative way. This debate, however,
should be conservative, educational and
preparatory to wise and prudent action
at the proper time. In the near flu
ture, though possibly not during the re-
naming time of this administration, the

Cracks the Game Laws.

The st. Peter Free Press takes a
crack at the game laws, basing it's COM
plant upon the following paragraph;
Sam Fullerton, executive agent of the
game and fish commission, never loses
an opportunity to squeeze some poor
man, innocent of all intention of vio-
lating the law, but he has not always
been so desperately anxious to punish
others who have killed game when they
should not-Lakefeld Standard.
1t is evident, Brother Crawford isn't
on to the fine points of the law as in
terpreted by those charged with its exc
cution. That law, according to the in
depreciation of some of the deputy war
dens at least, is purely for the benefit
of the latter and for limited number
of professional hunters, but is i'll no
way intended to be executed so as to
afford pleasure and comfort to an occas-
ional hunter, who goes after game once
or twice during the year and in his
ignorance of the law accidentally hap
pens to kill something out of season.
Woe to him if the professional city
chap, who slaughters game by the
wholesale, in season of course. should
get knowledge of this fact, he will never
rest until he gets his innocent victim
to pay the penalty for such cases made
and provided, and afterwards that same
chap will shoulder his gun and kill fifty
birds in one afternoon if they happen
to come his way.

WILL ACT AS HOUSEHOLDER.
New Occupation to Be Taken Up BY
Mrs. Allen

When Mrs. Frank S. Allen, the re-
firing president of the Minnesota Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs referred last
week in her convention address to the
profession she was soon to enter her
audience of club women assumed that
she intended to return to her former oc-
cupation as teacher, but a subsequent
talk with Mrs. Allen by Minneapolis
Journal woman discovers quite diff
ferent intent and one that will doubt
less arouse much interest.
Mrs. Allen is a woman of the most
domestic tastes, to whom her home was
a kingdom from which nothing could
tempt her, except temporarily. When
the necessity of homemaking was re-
moved by the death of her husband, Mrs.
Allen was reluctant to transplant her
labors to another and less congenial
field After much consideration she de-
cided that, homemakers were really very
much needed, and that she would be q
homemaker for others who lacked such
service Therefore, Mrs. Allen is to be-
come a householder, and she will ex-
ercise her talent for household manage
ment in homes where the mother is alb
sent or incapacitated
During the summer Mrs. Allen has
put her idea to the test and the result
has been all that she hoped. She found
the work interesting varied and con-
genial, and had the satisfaction of feel
ing that she was performing much-ap-
preciated service
In one instance she went on the brief
est notice into home where the moth
er had suddenly had an opportunity to
take a six-weeks' vacation if she could
have her home properly provided for.
A family of three lively children with
a genius for going through their clothes
made this experience an active one. In
this family sum of money was placi
ed in her hands to cover all household
expenses, and she paid for everything as
she went along rendering an account
weekly to the head of the house. At
another place, where she spent month,
Mrs Allen planned every detail of the
living and purchased all supplies, but
sent all bills to the head of the house,
who paid them by check. This was a
case where the housemother stepped in
to the labors of mother who was i'll.
Mrs. Allen has cosy home. at Dodge
Center, with which she is loathe to part.
and she will keep this as her home dur
ing her periods of rest between en-
and as her headquarters.

President Roosevelt's railroad rate
regulation plan i'll a nutshell is this:
"Have some administrative body with
ample power to forbid combination that
is hurtful to the public, and to pre-
vent favoritism to one individual at the
expense of another. We want an adj
ministrative body with the power to Sc
cure fair and just treatment among ali
shippers who use the rairoads-and ali
shippers have "A right to use them" The
railroads certainly ought to be salts
fed with such a plan. 1t would be sim
ply giving square deal to every man.

association similar to one which has ex-
listed in the United States for many
years. They recently held their annual
meeting at Quebec SFMr. Ballantyne,
who was elected president, in a speech
which closed the proceedings, congratu-
lated his colleagues upon the fact that
the old antipathy to goods manufacture
ed in Canada has not only died out, but
has been replaced by decided prefer
ence for goods of Canadian make. Not
long ago a Canadian merchant would
not have cared to proclaim that his
goods were of Canadian make; now
many make this the chief feature of
their advertising, and the Improvements
in quality have been such that Canadian
articles can be shown side by side with
imported goods without fear of being
set aside in favor of the latter The
products of the factories of Canada, are
up to date and of honest character. The
result is gratifying testimony to the
general excellence of Canadian goods;
and is likewise a tribute to the farsight
edness of the men who gave Canada a
tariff which produced this state of af,
fairs"
An opportunity passed up by the
United States that will never come their
way again. OF course the standpatters
are rejoicing over this condition OF
affairs.

d. c. Davies horse and buggy, the
theft of which from Fourth street, near
the court house square, was reported by
The Free Press yesterday, was found at
seven o'clock last evening in the posses
sion of two young boys, Max Hoefer and
Ernest Murray, each nine years old.
Gates Phillips was driving along Broad
street, when he noticed the boys drive
past him and he recognized the rig as
the stolen one. He followed as fast as
possible and the boys turned at Plum
and went toward Front When near
Harlin & Macbeth's barn he saw Mr..
Harin and called to him to head off the
boys. At that the boys leaped from
the buggy and made off. The horse was
caught, and Mr.. Phillips reported the
matter to the police.
Chief Donahue and Mr.. Phillips search
ed for the BOYS and found them covered
with mud, at kron'S corner. Hoefer was
locked up and the other boy was placed
in custody this morning. Both left very
badly about the matter, and their par

don and Evansville, Mimi, and about
$4,000 of notes, all payable to Peter

and a banker at Brandon sent So draft
for the boy, asking for the return of
the papers, on which payment has been
stopped The draft was returned at
once and the boys family is holding the
papers until satisfactory reward is
given, as Peterson cannot collect on the
notes unless he has the papers in his
possession.

WANTS People TO DECIDE.
Mayor Dunno Suggests That Question
of Sunday Closing Be Voted On.

Chicago, Oct. 25.-Mayor Dunno has a
new use for the referendum. He wants
to try it on the question of whether sa-
looms should be closed on Sunday or not.
If majority vote for closing them, he
will do his best to obey. If the decision
is the other way, things are to remain
as they are.
He made the suggestion while discuss
ING a demand for his indictment, made
in sermon Oh Sunday by the Rev. w.
A. Bartlett, of the First Congregational
church. Mr.. Bartlett wanted him pun
ished for not locking up the drinking
places on Sunday.
Mr. Bartlett, in my opinion" said the
mayor, sis an honest, conscientious
clergyman, who represents small mi
nority in the community.
In my Judgment, however, it is physic-
ally impossible to do what he wants.
Prosecutions could be started as they
have been started in the past and there
would be no good results. All former
attempts in this direction have failed.

Welcomes Mr.. Vo!stead.

The ST. Paul Dispatch welcomes Rep
resentative Nolstead to the rank OF the
revisionists. Because The Dispatch, a
year ago, criticised Mr.. Volstead's tar
if views, he charged this paper, in his
tariff speech in congress, with trying
to read him out of the party. The pur-
pose was, of course, to read him into
the party and out of that wing of it
which has acquired the democratic hab
it of conservatism, now more aptly
called standpatism. We are not so con
fident of the influence of this paper 'as
to assume that Mr. Volstead's return
to genuine republicanism is due to its
efforts in his behalf Modesty as well
as truth compels attribution of his
course to another and more power
full reason
ct NAV be recalled that Mr.. Vol
stead's speech was largely directed to
opposing Mr.. Lind's argument in favor
of free wheat, which he resisted because
of the ruin he feared it would bring
upon his wheat growing constituents.
Subsequently, under pressure of the de-
mands of the men who manufacture
flour from wheat-chiefy Minneapoli-
tans-Secretary Shaw gave another of
his liberal constructions and decided
that the nintynine per cent rebate of
duty on imports used i'll manufacturing
products for export, be extended to
wheat, and, farther, that this import
ed wheat might be mixed and ground
with domestic wheat and the duty paid
on the imported wheat be refunded on
the evidence of the miller that the flour
thus made had been exported.
This action Mr.. Volstead stoutly pro-
tested against, but without avail Under
it Canadian wheat has been brought in,
the 25-cent tax paid, mixed with do
nestle wheat ground into -four, export
ed and 24.75 cents of the % repaid to
the miller. The miller gets his raw
material practically froe as the shoe
makers, tin-can makers, and all other
makers who do an export business, get
theirs. This undoubtedly proved an eye
opener to Mr. Volstead 1t convinced
him, as arguments had failed to, of the
utter hollowness of the pretense of pro-
lection to the farmer or any of his
products of which an excess over do
nestle consumption is produced and ne
cessitously exported for sale abroad. We
felt grateful to the secretary for his
ruling because we expected this educa-
ton as its consequence.
But we assume Mr. Volstead, particu-
larly, and the Minnesota delegation in
the house in general-James Thompson
Nee. excepted-that nothing will ever
be accomplished for revision and reduc-
ton by men who say they favor it
and 10 nothing. We have rather too
many dough faces who favor" things
but are afraid to demand and work for
them. Such will make no Roadway
against the Dalzels and Paynes who
not only favor but work hard for stand
patlsm. There is great opportunity

revenue system of the country will be
readjusted. The demand for such re-
adjustment is increasing, and the
strength of the demand is not with poll
tics, but with business. 1t is a great
business question. 1t has relations with

ties which must be sought and intelli-

that in another presidential year that
