We CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT.

Two years ago Congressman
McCleary submitted an elaborate
table to show that lumber was
dearer in Winnipeg and Canada
than in the United States. In his
reply to Governor Cummins in his
Boston speech he submitted another
table showing that steel rails cost
more in Europe than in the United
States. Despite these elaborate
tables any man who has had bust
ness in these matters knows that
the statements are not correct.
But suppose they were and that
lumber and steel products are dearer
in these countries than in the United
States, how in the name OF. all that
Is wonderful can that be construed
as an argument IN favor of a tariff
on these commodities? Are the
business men of the United States
so short sighted that a tariff
is necessary to keep them from
going into a foreign country and
buying goods that they can buy
cheaper at home? Such PROPOSE
ton is the quintessence of assinity.

NOT INCONSISTENT

Several papers iusinuate that we
are inconsistent when we say that
Governor johnson is a clean man
and has made good governor and
yet that he ought to be defeated.
1t does not strike us in the least
that there is any inconsistency
about the statement. This IS a
government of political parties.
Every law upon the statute books
of the nation and every state in the
nation was placed thereon as the
result of political majority in the
national or state legislatures. If
the theories and doctrines of
democracy are better for the state
and nation than those of the repub.
licans we not only ought to have a
democratic governor but all officials
should be democrats. If, on the
other hand, republican principles
and policies are to be preferred
then we ought to have republican
officials to carry them out.
Minnesota is a republican state.
An overwhelming majority of its
citizens believe in republican
doctrines and policies. Anyone
with two grains of sense knows
that a democratic official in any
position will not do anything to
advance republican doctrines. The
only way to have republication
rule il to have republican officials.

PIONEER COLLEGE ECHOES
The attendance at the Pioneer is
growing day by day. Profs. Bouton
and Bailey are contemplating engag-
ing another teacher after the holidays.
Students in general are becoming
much better penmen. Our new
magazine "The Business Educator"
is in the hands of every student.
Today is Thanksgiving. Most of
the students will return to their
homes, school being closed until
Monday. y
Every student progresses. All are
interested in their studies and an
atmosphere of earnest work pervades
the school-room.
To punctuate and frame a good
business letter is beyond the reach of
many. Prof. Bailey has two strong
classes in this department and they
are all doing good work.
We aim to give every student 1OOc
on the dollar. Our students will tell
you this. The Pioneer is an honest
school.
s Have you noticed the class OF
students attending the Pioneer? They
are among the best. Quality and
quantity are hand in hand this year.
Here's wishing every student
happy Thanksgiving day.

Buddha'a Tooth.

Nearly half a billion people wor-

have belonged to the set owned and
operated by Buddha. Years ago
in fact, something like twenty-five
centuries ago-the molar was alleg-
ed to have been rescued from the
ashes of the funeral pyre of the god.
Its career since that time has been
varied. From India the tooth was
taken to Ceylon, then it was seized
by the Malabars and later by the
Portuguese and kept Ia Goa. Here
the revered tooth was burned. AS it
was marriage dover with the
princes of the royal house, the orig
inal relic had to be replaced, SO that
the molar which rests among COR
geous surroundings and to which a
special temple has been dedicated is
said to be that of wild boar OF ape.

The Morse Alphabet Tn Fiction.


Within the past month 1 have read
two short stories by different authors
wherein the chief character has got
himself oot OF difficulties by tapping
out sentences In Morse telegraph let
tiers upon an iron door or n window or
something. Why don't these aspiring
authors find out something about teIeg-
raphy before INDUCING in such stun?
Even people of small information
know that 1t is impossible to make
most OF the Morse characters without
a back stroke" to sound the difference
between dot and a dash, and only n
Few letters are composed of dots only
Any person who knows the telegraphic
alphabet can transmit n sentence by
tapping upon another's hand, but this
is done by bearing down longer for the
dash than the dot, which. OF course,
cannot be indicated by rapping on n
pane of glass with n nail. These care

which. while they seem like romances
when told, are examples OF the adage
that truth is stranger than fiction.
Montana furnishes several OF the more
Interesting
Every prospector in the Rocky noun
tains has probably heard the tale OF
how Tom Cruise discovered the great
Drum Lomond mine. For years the
old miner had been sluicing out the
gold In the bed OF creek a few miles
from Helena. Some days he secured
less than dollars worth and other
days i've times as much. The uncer-
tainty was discouraging. but he had
experience enough 20 know that the
ledge from which the gold had been
washed must be somewhere In the vi
cinity, SO he explored the valley, but
without result. Then he climbed the
sides for hundreds OF feet. At last he
saw projection which was apparent
~ rock covered with earth and leaves.
A few digs with the shovel laid bare
the outcropping OF the ore vein which
was to become one OF the most famous
IN the world.
Montana also contains the Granite
Mountain mine, which was supposed TO
consist OF surface ORE The shrewd
superintendent noted indications which
led him to believe another ore body law
beneath. The mine owners, however.
disagreed with him, and he began in
vestigatiOn for himself when the veins
appeared to be exhausted. On the
very day he received a telegram to
abandon the claim he made the discov-
cry Of the lode beneath. The telegram
he sent to his employers caused them
to give him carte blanche in the way
OF spending their money to reach the
ore. 1t is matter OF history that the
wealth Of this mine has erected some
OF the finest buildings in st. Louis,
where the owners invested their profits.
In the long list of accidental discov-
cries which have made fortunes either
for the discoveries or others to whom
they divulged their secret that of Park
City VIII always occupy a prominent
place. 1t was not always termed Park
City, and many OF the miners in Utah
to this day still call it Parley's Park,
its original name. Sitting on n ledge OF
rock TO rest. a prospector began knock
ing away at the surface with his pick
without thought that its point was en-
tering mass OF silver ore. which has
since been mined for over ten years.
Noting the glitter OF the fragments. he
took them to the nearest town and had
them assayed-more out of curiosity
than otherwise. for apparently they
contained too much OF the white metal
for it to be genuine. The assay showed
no less than twelve pounds OF silver to
the ton.
News Of the discovery soon spread.
and openings were made from which
ore yielding over 100000 pounds OF
pure silver has thus far been taken.
and no one knows how much more lies
in the bowels of the hills.-Pilgrim.
