A COMPETENT MAN WANTED.

While one of the Editors of the MES
sENGER was in Berlin last Saturday he
overheard conversation that will
serve to show the direction of political
sentiment. a farmer, known for his
independent views and action. remark
cd to Berlin business man that he
proposed to do all ne could to defeat
Mr. Jackson. because he knew Mr.
Jackson to be incompetent for the
position of Congressman and not the
proper man to represent the First Con
gressional District He said he wanted
a man that knew more than he Cthe
farmerl did. and he is well enough ac-
quainted with Mr.. Jackson to know how
competent he is.
A prominent Republican of the same
section as the farmer said ne was not
going to vote for Mr.. Jackson for the
same reason.
The people Of the First Congressional
District Of Maryland have. previous to
the advent Of Mr. Jackson in Congress-
been represented by men who We're
competent to represent them intelli-
gently and they do not relish the idea
that their Congressman be noted solely
for having bought his seat in Congress
Hon Thomas A. Smith is not such a
man. He is not rich man so far as
money goes. but he is hustler in
Washington, not only in Committee. but
on the floor of the House He has suiii-
cient intelligence TO know what is go
ing on without being prompted as 70
how he should vote He has sufficient
knowledge Of national affairs to know
wherein Maryland is best served. and
he is quick TO act in the interest Of his
people Mr.. Smith made a very favor
able impression upon the people of
Worcester County during his recent
visit here and he told them TO call up
on him freely whenever he could serve
them as their Congressman.
Mr.. Smith is an honest. Christian
gentleman, who asks for your support,
believing ne is entitled to it because of
the service he has already performed
and for the faithful manner in which
he has served his constituency. He was
in his seat at all times during the last
session of Congress. and was noted for
his attentiveness to the smallest detail
Of legislative proceeding. He is a man
Of the people and those who know him
best are his strongest advocates.
Every voter in Worcester County
who believes in the elevation Of worth
over wealth. of fitness over untitness,
of activity over inactivity. of a repre-
sentative Of the people rather than a
representative Of the trusts, should
east his ballot for Hon Thomas A.

DEMOCRATIC POSITION ON
THE TARIFF.

In a speech delivered in the House Of
Representatives on May 3, 1906, John
Sharpe Williams, the Democratic floor
leader. defined the Democratic position
on the tariff as follows We are
simply anti-protectionists. We are not
free traders. Our purpose is revenue.
We would not inaugurate protectionism
where ii does not now exist We would
remove it wherever it does exist. as
it can safely be done. -

according to report issued by the
department Of commerce and labor.
These figures for eleven months, says
the report, show larger expectation
of meats and meat products than in
the corresponding period of any other
year in the history of the export trade
and an increase Of practically 60 per
cent when compared with the CORE
spending period of 1896.
The increase occurs in all the prin-
cipal products, but is especially no.
ticeable in lard, oleo, oil, salted pork,
fresh beef and fresh pork.
Great Britain, says the report, Is
by far the largest purchaser of Amer
lean meat products. OF the $75,000,000
worth of bacon, ham, fresh beef and
canned beef exported in 1905 the Unit
ed Kingdom took $66,000,O00 worth,
or practically 80 per cent Of the total.
OF the total exports of meats, valued
at $100,000,000, it took $S0,000,000
worth, while of the $40,OOO,O0O worth
of cattle exported in the same year
it took $36,750,000 worth. III

shaken by the revolutionary propa-
ganda is proved by the continual ex-
tension of the rebellious outbreaks
among the troops. 1t appears to be
confirmed that the Botschoff regiment
at Byazan has driven off its officers
and burned the armory. Another re-
port says the soldiers deliberately at
tackled the Officers club at Byazan,
killing one and wounding two officers.
A panic prevails in the town.
-Four companies Of the Viborg regi-
ment, stationed in st. Petersburg,
have presented demands which were
acceded to and they have now re-
turned to duty.
The soldiers Of the notorious Se-
menovsky regiment, whose name be-
came synonymous with repression ow-
ing to the deeds committed by these
troops at Moscow, are reported to
have held a meeting and to have de-
cided that they cannot any longer en-
dure the public opprobrium and must
wipe out the stain on the regiment.
The tenderness with which the mill.
tary authorities are treating these and
recurring exhibitions of the mutinous
spirit among the troops is sufficient
evidence that they fear the entire
army is infected.

Milwaukee, June 22.-At the fore
noon session of the millers' mass con-
ventiOn, under the auspices of the
Millers' National Federation, II. B.
Tasker, a London importer and repre-
sentative of the London Flour Trade
association, urged the millers to the
exercise of greater energy and care in
the preservation of their foreign
trade. He told them that unless they
made earnest and sustained effort
their trade in the United Kingdom
would be placed in greatest peril by
the competition of the British millers
These latter, he said, are in so strong
position and so alert in taking ad-
vantage of conditions that they are
constantly taking trade from Amer
lean mills. He divided the blame for
this condition of things between the
American miller and the railway and
steamship lines, the former sometimes
failing to keep his export flour at the
highest standard of quality and the
latter taking 100 days to deliver flour
in London when it could be done in
forty. Mr.. Tasker said that, with a
maintained high quality and prompt
deliveries, American -four would con-
tinue to be used in large quantities in
Great Britain.

Resolution for Election ofjsenators by

Washington, June 22.-Representa
tive Norris of Nebraska led a losing
fight in the house on the joint resolu-
tiOn amending the Constitution of the
United States providing for the elec-
tion and term of Office Of members of
congress. The first section of the
resolution provided for the election of
senators by the direct vote of the
people: the second extended the terms
of representatives to four years.
Mr.. Rucker (Mo.) said that while
there is sentiment for the election of
senators by direct vote there is none
whatever for the second proposition.
He requested that the house be per-
mitted to vote separately on the two
sections, but objection was made.
Democrats and Republicans were
much mixed up when the vote was
taken, the resolution being defeated
by vote Of 80 to Sc, two-thirds not
having voted in its favor.

Washington, June 22.-The federal
reclamation service is moving heaven
and earth to defeat the HansbrOugh
bill proposing the drainage of the Red
River valley in North Dakota and the
measure providing for drainage of the
dismal swamp in the Carolinas. The
former would take $1,000,000 from the
irrigation fund and the latter $3,000,-
600. According to the officials the
passage of these bills would retard
the work of constructing irrigation
bitches and prevent the completion as
originally planned Of a number of
projects imperatively needed in GER
tain arid and semiarid states. The
reclamation service is not opposed to
the Steenerson bill affecting the over
flowed lands in Minnesota. In fact.
it has strongly endorsed that meas
ure. Strong influences are at work to
enact the Hansbrough bill into law
before adjournment, but just what
will happen to it Is not now clear.

GERMAN INDUSTRIES WARMED.
Must Prepare for Tariff War With
United States.

Berlin, June 22.-At meeting of
the Central Association of German
Manufacturers, embracing most of the
great manufacturing organizations of
the country, held at Nuremburg, the
general secretary, Herr Buck, refer
ring to the trade arrangements with
the United States, said the associa-
tion supported the temporary exten-
sion of the treaty duties to the Unit
ed States because German industry at
this moment was not sufficiently pre-
pared for tariff war with the United
States. A continuance of the situation
created by the temporary arrange
ment, however, would be irreconcil-
able either with the economic inter
ests or dignity of the German empire
The general secretary felt it neces-
sary, therefore, to warn German in
dustry to prepare in good time for a
tariff war, which would be unavoid-
able if the United States thinks it can
continue treating German goods. un-
fairly.

the agitation is bound to work untold

INSURANCE

Bemldji, with the greater por
tion Of her fire company attend
ing the Cass Lake tournament,
was visited by a fire last night,
which accomplished damage
amounting to $25,0O0 before it
could be subdued. =
The flames, starting in E. l..
MAYORS furniture store, com
pleteIy Quilted the place from
rear to front, burned the larger
portion of the Berman Emporium
and ruined the rear end of the
Turf saloon building, owned by
J. P. Duncalf. Considerable
damage was done to E. A. Bar
ker's drugstore and the Bank sa-
loon, owned by Clavin & Tanner,
but it was caused by the moving
Of stock into the street. The
flames or water touched neither
building.
The confining of the fire to the
three buildings mentioned re-
fleets the highest credit on the
fremen, regular and volunteer.
For time it looked as though the
whole row of wooden buildings
in the block might 60, but the
fight, led by Assistant Chief ]. P.
Pogue, was conducted along
scientific lines, and five streams
of water playing on the flames
from as many different points,
kept them in control and saved
the wooden building to the west
occupied by Winters jewelry
store, and all but the rear end of
the Turf saloon building.
The more credit is due be-
cause only six or seven of the
regular fire company was in the
city, and the absence of the run
ming hose cart with quantity of
hose, and the hook and ladder
wagon proved a considerable
handicap.
The continued rains of the last
week and a half also helped the
fremen greatly. The buildings
were wet and burned slowly, and
there was little danger of sparks,
flying upward and alighting at
distant points, starting fresh
fires. This left the men free to.
devote their whole energy to the
one blaze. Z
The origin of the fire is
shrouded in mystery. No one
seems to have plausible theory.
It's supposed to have started in
the work room in MAYORS S store,
and that is all that can be said
