 Would f not be possible for tho pres ent congress, by meeting the popular demand for a reasonable revision of the tarir, to take the tariff issue out of the Presidential campaign? There Is, however, no prospect of such d policy prevailing. ana so the tariff may be the main issue in the campaign ol 1908.

NEW HAVEN BRED SENSE.

It is with no little satisfaction that we welcome Professor William Gra- New Haven into the steadily widen ing circle of men who talk only to talk sense. We do not mean to sug- gest for the length Of Il moment that it is his habit to talk in other than son- sible way, but men of his class have been under a cloud of suspicion as to their political loyalty and their inter- est in mankind Refusing to add their voices to the restless storm of abuse and criticism. they have until now paid the penalty of being overlooked. ! Now that the situation calls for sense and judgment they speak and are ls- tened to. The age of progress through boot strap effort Is passing.
 Professor sumner finds ono of tho causes of impaired confidence in the airy solutions offered by eloquent dreamers for ills which have been long in tho making He is delightmlly se- we're with those who would 'reorgan- ize society" He says of these really enthusiastic people: "However, the moral world which is like the physi- cal world is tho product of several thousand Cor million) years and of all the work hope, suffering and fears of the men who have passed over the earth. They made mistakes no doubt. So arc we now making mistakes. If we could oblterate all our inheritance and begin anew we should put in all our present faults. errors and mis- takes In ten years there would have to he a new beginning again It is as impossible to 'reorganize society as it would be to rcorganize the physical world. We have inherited t as it is We must pass it on as best we can Our power to change il Is very limit cd and insignificant" This is not en- lcouraging to those who have made a new set of rules out of the goodness of their emotional hearts and theil sentimental desire to make their fel. lows happier, and it probably will moi modify their combined efforts-per. Itaps it would he had thing if it did
 -b but it was necessary to preach thi. ume-honored gospel at time wher mcr have let splendid ideals walk of with their practical sense.
 Professor Sumner does well, too. tc remind careless leaders of opinion that they cannot escape their shar, in the responsibility for irlpa.rcd con. fdonce. He tells them squarely that iu having entered upon wholesal, , dcnunciation of masters of industr, and corporations, fncluding rIasse, in the denuneiation when at most ; few men have done wrong" they hay, brought under widespread suspicion all masters of industry and all cor

.sOnly A Norwegian"

Violin Times: Bro. Hackett, of the
Parker New Era, takes offense at our
article Of last week accusing him of
calling Hon. Hans Ustrud ''only a
Norwegian, !" and asks US to retract.
We don't remember what paper we
did see the expression in, but we did
see it and it was credited to Editor
Hackett. We regret that we don t
keep files of our exchanges, so this
matter could be Strengthened out.
Bro. Hackett writes:
''We have never to our knowledge
made any such statement as you
charge. We hold no such views and
you know 1T" In looking over the
New Era Of January 3rd, we find a
long tirade Of abuse against Mr.. Us
trud, evidently copied from some 9TH
er paper but not credited. In that
article we quote to show Bro. Hack
ett'slviews Of Mr.. Ustrud:
It is apparent that the teach
ers and educated people Of the state
who have the best interests of our
schools at heart do not want to see
him reelected. They fully realize
that it has been an awful jump from
the administrations of Professor Col
Inns, Nash and Ramer to Ustrud. Ed
ucators Of South Dakota were proud
to have such men in that Office as Col
lins, Nash and Ramer, but what a
change insurgentism has brought!
Why, many of the state examination
papers seut out from his Office at
Pierre are ungrammatical, unintelli-
gible and are products Of a person in
competent to ill the high position Of
superintendent Of public instruction.
The above is only part of an art1-
Gle appearing In the New Era of Jan.
8, showing Bro. Hackett's views OF
one of the states ablest educators.
Mr.. Ustrud was alright to the ma
chine until he defeated their idol In
his own county. Since then it has
been hard for them to find words
mean enough to show their contempt
for him.
Now. II Bro. Hackett wants to be
as fair as he wants US to be let him
publish the 1908 and 1905 taxes in con.
nection with those OF 1905 and 1907
that he published last week. He
knows full well that he is trying to
cover up the high levies Of those years
with the 1905 levy, which was SO low
as to cause deficiency for the insur.
gent administration to pay of.
