FABULOUS SUM GIVEN.

The baldheaded head of the STANDARD
Oil Co. has given the colossal sum OF
$32, 900. 900 to the General Board OF
Education, which added to the several
sums that he has already donated for
educational and church purposes
aggregates $S5, O59, 668. 1t certainly
passes comprehension that an single
individual can amass such a fortune
as to permit him to give away such
an immense sum of money. No doubt
much of it has been wrung by the
octopus from the people by means
that will not stand investigation and
which many believe comes mighty
close to the border line of criminalIty.
Be that as 1T may however, he giving
of such a. fabulous sum means placing
1T in circulation and thousands will be
benefited and large fortune reduced
to respectable proportions.

FOR REVISING TARIFF.

Nothing for long time in poll
ticial way has afforded the writer more
pleasure than the declaration of
Senator John C.. Spooner, IN speech
in the senate on the 18th inst. that he
was in favor of revision of our
present trust breeding tariff law.
During his remarks, Senator Spooner
said: "He had always been pro-
tectionist, but he was not so blinded
by his devotion to that principle that
| failed to see that many of the
present schedules were so high that
they were detrimental rather than
benfclal to the country's general pros
perity. That he has not Heretofore
said anything on the senate floor on
this subject was due to the fact that
all tariff legislation must originate in
the house and he had delicacy about
expressing an opinion upon the subject
over which the senate has no juris-
dlction unless the house has acted.

in some cases, but more often they
themselves are not fitted, in either
understanding or purpose. to do well
do i'll, and an Ill doer is never in har
mony with the purposes of society.
Take two things for illustration
A farmer and country newspaper.
How many farmers do we see where
everything, the home, the buildings,
the animals, the fields, all bespeak
the fact that the owner has no clear
idea Of the central purpose of mis- farm
and SO does not work in harmony with
1t. The man is square peg In
round hole. He doesn't fit.
How many country newspapers there
are that say as plain as can be, that
the man behind them has no clear,
clean cut idea of what country news
paper should mean to the people that
read it. The editors ideas are not in
harmony with the needs of his people.
He satisfies no real want, builds up
no real growth, inspires to no real
purpose. Such an editor is not in
harmony with his work, and his WORK
shows it.
One of the most useful lessons we
can learn in life is to work in harmony
with our work where we find 1T. That
is the only way we can prove thai we
are fit to be entrusted with larger and
better things.

LET THE LAW ALONE.

From the very beginning, the editor
OF The Leader was opposed to the
primary election law as it now appears
upon the state statutes, because it
was, in his judgment, cumberbsome,
expensive and calculated to favor the
rich candidates to the detriment of the
poor who sought political honors.
The people, however, at the polls
endorsed the law and 1T was accepted
by it's opponents as the will of the
people. If it was right then, it is
certainly right now and the Legislature
should let it alone, especially in the
face of the fact that 1t has not been
thoroughly tested. 1t should be given
another trial and if then found to be
faulty and not answer the end for
which it was enacted, they repeal il
and return to the caucus and conven-
tion system which was used for over
a hundred years and found satisfactory
ana created no more bosses than the
primary law system has devloped-the
only difference being, that it requires
more money now to be boss than 1t
did under the old system when men
were chosen for their intellectual and
moral worth rather than the si8e of
their bank account.

when he did so, sprung a surprise on
him by presenting him with two beauti-
full articles of furniture chiffinier

pretty good talker in his native Ian

que refused to perform it's functions
and clave to the roof of his mouth,
but his eyes expressed his gratitude in
both German and Englis languages.

army.
