An Editor and the Tariff.

The editor of the Concordia, Kan,
Empire, having been solicited to make
a contribution of 81 to the republican
congressional campaign, made the fol-
lowing reply in his paper:
eve have recently completed build
ing a house at cost of something over
$4,000, and for every foot Of lumber,
every pane of glass, every sack Of
cement, every pound of nails and, in
fact, for nearly every bit of material
that went into it we made good, lib
eral contribution, thru the trusts that
control them, and we guess we have
done our share.''
The Chicago Inter Ocean, having
read the Kansas editors complaint.
believes he might have put it another
way just as truthfully. 1t suggests:
eve have recently completed a
house that cost over $4,000. If any
body had told us in the days of pop
ulism and free silver that we would
ever have that much money at one
time or that we could ever pay for a
$4,000 house on the installment plan
we should have thought the person
crazy
Both of these expressions are inter
esting expositions. The Kansas editor
seems to think that the republican par
ty supports the trusts and therefore thu
trusts ought to support the party. The
Inter Ocean apparently admits the
trust issue, but says the Kansas edi
| tor has done so we'll out of it that he
ought to make a contribution anyway
Both of them miss the essential
point that republican can and ought
to support the republican party on ac
count Of the tariff and yet exert every
power he possesses to denounce anC
dethrone the trusts. The trusts are n
necessary part Of the tariff. They ar
an excrescence upon it. They are com
binations in restraint of trade, punish
able under the criminal laws of tn
country-they have gained more O
their power out Of illegal contract
with transportation companies thai
out Of the tariff:
The Kansas editor might have sen
on his dollar with proviso that non
of it should be used to further the cleo
ton to congress Of standpatter. I
the trusts have any hold on the countr
because of the tariff, it can be loosene
by revision without injury to the pre-
tective system.

Which Kind of Mayor?

If any citizen can close the Sunday
saloon by application Of the state law,
then there is no need of a mayor who will
perform this duty. This appears to be
the logic of the Tribune. Elect any
old kind of mayor or cheaper still, do
not elect any at all. Let every citi-
zen be his own mayor. Let every man
spend his time and his money gather
ing evidence of law-breaking and
bringing evidence before grand juries,
securing indictments, trying cases and
hustling the government. 1t is much
simpler and more direct than electing a
mayor who will do it for you with the
police force. In fact there is not any
need of police force when every man
can get into the game for himself.
Perhaps some people will be attract
ed by this reasoning. Perhaps others
will reason another way saying to
themselves: elf any citizen or com
bination of citizens can, by going to
court, enforce the laws, we are glad to
know it. We now know the laws will
be enforced and that is well. If we
elect one kind Of mayor we shall have
to do it ourselves, and if we elect an
other kind, we shall have it done fol
u.s.
Under such circumstances which
kind would the people naturally

Navigation on the Lower Missouri.

' A crowd variously estimated at from
10000 to $4,000 people assembled on
the levee at Kansas City Monday morn
ing to welcome the arrival Of the first
thru steamboat from st. Louis-the,
first for many years. The Missouri
river was once a great highway Of COM
merce and the early settlement of Kan
sas, western Missouri and Nebraska
was aided materially by the traffic IA
cilities afforded by that stream. The
advent Of the railroads, however, cut
off the traffic till it became so unim-
portant as to induce the government to
discontinue it's work in seeking to main
tain navigation where difficulties are
so great. The current of the Missouri
shifts on short notice. The river flows
over bed Of soft mud and sand and
cuts new channel for itself so often
that it is difficult to maintain sufficient
depth Of water for large boats. + !
The arrival of the steamer Lora from
st. Louis is hailed at Kansas City, how
ever, as the first step toward. the re-
vital Of river transportation and the
introduction of the Missouri as a COM
petitor with the railroads, and rate
leveler. The report Of the navigator
of the Lora is more favorable as to the
stage of water than was anticipated
He found a good channel nearly all the
way ranging from seven to twenty-five
| feet. With seven feet Of water in the
shallowest places the Missouri is still
capable Of carrying a great deal OF
commerce.
| If the Missouri is to come into use
again as a navigable stream with its
shifting sands and mud bottoms, Ger
tainly the Mississippi, more stable il
it's course and carrying a sufficiently
large food Of water regulated by the
reservoir system, ought to be available
as far as the falls. The voyage of tn,
Lora is a significant evidence of tn.
revival of interest in inland navigation
and as a practical demonstration will
undoubtedly stimulate interest in al
river Improvement.

Bailev's Predicament.

Senator Bailey Of Texas appears to
have attracted considerable attention
to himself with his recent activity as
a lawyer. The Harris good government
club has denounced him as a "traitor
to the people'' because he has been
mixed up with some railroad deals in
which the Standard Oil company was a
silent partner. Bailey reioins that he
did nothing which was not proper for
any reputable lawyer to do. The odd
thing about it is that the railroad paid
him $225.O00 for doing it. There are
not. many lawyers drawing such fees
and when such fee is drawn by a
lawyer whose legal ability is best
known thru speeches in the senate peo-
pie are apt to make their own infer
ences.
Whether Bailey did anything repre-,
hensible his constituents will judge, but
to the country at large it appears that
he has let himself down from the plane
on which the public at large had placed
him. Moreover, he has departed wide,
ly from the ethics of the public men
of his section of the country. The
south has never countenanced the doc.
trine that a public man might use his
position as q lever to make money. II
has held so rigidly: to this view that
some years ago when; General John B
| Gordon, then member Of the senate
from Georgia.. saw an opportunity tx

"MEDICtNE MANS" SONG

The life of the infant is pictured as
about to travel a rugged road, stretching
over four hills, marking the stages of in
fancy, youth, manhood and old age. On
the eighth day after the birth of a child
the parents, thru certain prescribed
forms, send for the Medicine Man. In
due time he comes, clad in his priestly
garb, and stands at the door of the tent
wherein the child lies. Raising his right
hand to the sky he calls:
Ho, ye sun, moon, stars, all We that move In
the heavens,
bid ye hear
Into your midst has come new life.
Consent We, implore;
Make its path smooth, that 1t may reach the

but he has a scoundrel for a father, and
scoundrel who knows a closely guarded
secret about the birth of. the "heroine'-
a secret which the girls supposed father
does not know, but which the supposed
mother does. know and is willing to make
almost any sacrifice to keep. The guilty
secret places her in a measure in the
power of the hero's father. The hero
and the heroine, are pledged to marriage,
but then comes the dreadful disclosure.
The course Of true love runs rough, very
rough indeed, for a time-until the viii

bright. The storysis pure 1felodrama, ac-

of poems by Louis James Block. Under

frequently deeper meaning than is
found at first glance, as, perhaps in the

Stay not too long in curious thought,
Plunge into act and know
That fate with lesser doubt is fraught
Than your first trepidations show.
Stay not near the friendly shore,
Trust all upon the: instant's throw,
Boldly strike OUT and more and more

A Practical Forestry Idea.

Forestry talk is no longer the signal
for an argument with a northern Min
nesota man. The citizens of the tim
bered area are beginning to realize that
reforestation does not mean cutting
off their resources, or withholding any
good farming land from settlement. 1t
merely means the Improvement OF
areas that are fit for nothing but trees,
SO that in another generation there will
still be material for lumber and wood
working industries in Minnesota. A.
L. Cole, the republican candidate for
governor, is a citizen of northern Min
nesota, and has represented the biggest
logging district in the state, as a mem
Der of the legislature. He now comes
out with a practical forestry sugges-
ton, which should be supported by
public sentiment all over the state.
Mr.. Cole favors an immediate survey
of the lands remaining in the hands Of
the federal government, to determine
what portion of them is unfit for agri
culture, before the timber is all taken
up under the stone and timber law
After such a survey it should be easy
to induce congress to grant the land tc
the state as forest reserve, with the
pledge that it should always be. admin
istered on scientific forestry principles
The idea is one that should be acte6
on as soon as possible, and coming from
a representative of the timber counties
it should be welcomed by the advocates
of the forestry cause, who have hat
such difficulty in the past to secure
sympathy and cooperation from north
ern Minnesota.
