The Parkston people are making
arrangements to employ Frank M.
Nye, Of Minneapolis, to conduct the
prosecution of Mrs. Kaufman at the
trial at the March term of court, the
case to be tried at rlanreau. Those
Parkston people are certainly game
in the way they are standing by the
memory of Agnes Polreis, whom it is
alleged Mrs. Kaufman murdered and
they propose to see that the girl
receives Justice until every means
is exhausted. This will be the second
trial that Mrs. Kaufman has had,
and 1t Is likely that Mr. Nye will
make the conviction of the woman
such that there will be no loopholes
which the case can be taken to the
supreme court again. Egan seems to
have presented the case in such a
manner is to give the defendants at
torneys plenty of ground on which
to have a second trial given, and
they succeeded.

Governor johnson, Of Minnesota,
has not Increased his popularity as a
presidential candidate by
reason Of his utterance In connection
with the conviction of Messrs. Com
pers, Mitchell and Morrison, the
leaders of the Federation of Labor.
1t seems that the leading democrats
yer in great haste to express them
selves against the courts of the coun-
try in this case and perhaps the time
will come when they will regret their
action. Governor johnson went to
a length in his expression that ought
to make him ineligible as a presi-
Dental candidate. He declared that
II he were president that he would
pardon Gompers, Mitchell and Nor
rison. He would do this, evidently,
without regard for the law which
convicted the men, and thus defy the
courts and the law, which he would
necessarily have to swear to support
in case he were elected president.
Governor johnson was making good
Roadway as a presidential possibility
in 1912, but with this %utterance
staring him in the face 1t ought to be
the means of defeating him roundly.

the TARIFF REvlsIonIsTs
Ways and Means Committee Have
Many Weary Weeks of Work in
Revising Tariff Schedules.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-The tariff
trainers have some idea of the diff
cult and complex questions involv-
ed in the problem of revising the
present tariff law. With over 5000
pages of testimony, voluminous re-
ports from the various sources at
their disposal and thousands of leu
tiers giving information of great
value in connection with the tariff
the subcommittee which will draft
the new bill will be occupied for a
number of weeks in revising the
present schedules.
Two meetings were held Thursday
by the tariff framing committee
which consists of the republican
members of the ways and means
committee. Much routine matter
and deta4ls concerning schedule A"
of the tariff were disposed of.
Schedule A provides for the duties
on chemicals, oils and paints, and
as there were few requests for
changes which woulu affect the
schedule on the whole or which are
of general interest, this schedule will
probably occupy much less time by
the committee than some others.
AS the members of the sub-com-
mittee have been sworn to secrecy
as to the deliberations n discus
sions at their meetings, positive in
formation as to the conclusions
reached is hardly o~btainable. It is
understood that the committee will
reserve for later consideration those
paragraphs about which there is any
serious difference Of opinion, and
that 1t will summon further witness
ses whenever it is desired to get
more information on some subject
about which it has not been SUI
ficiently informed. The general i'm
preston is that the committee will
make few changes in the chemicar
schedule.

WILL BE A SCIENTIFIC TARIFF

The Minneapolis Journal comments
with some righteousness on the work
of the tariff committee, which is now
engaged In remodeling the tariff of
this country, in which that paper
says:
The new tariff is to be a revised"
tariff. 1t is also to be a scientific
tariff. That is to say, it is not to be
a mere uniform sea-wall over which
the tie of importation cannot flow,
unless it rises to a certain height. 1t
is to be a fertilization, modern, up
to date, fitted with sa1ients AMI re-
entrant angles, constructed for Of
Tense as we'll as defense; built with
an eye to the Notifications recently
erected on the other side of the
ocean, by Germany and by France,
for instance.
There is evolution in tariffs as in
other things. A simple wall, of what
ever height, is now a somewhat crude
device. James G.. Blaine proposed re-
ciprocity. That was differentiation.
a refinement, a subtle adoption of
means to an end. Maximum and min
imum rates are the improvement up
on reciprocity today.
Tariffs are with us to stay. The
world Is q world Of tariffs, some low
er than others, all fitted to the par
ticular countries. But these tariffs
today, as compared with those of
twenty years ago, are complex, in
genious, highly sophisticated.
For, 1t is increasingly necessary, if
a tariff is to fulfill all the good that
1t can be made to fulfill that study
be made, not only of the home mar
ket, the home conditions, but also of
foreign markets, of foreign condi-
lions, and of how the two sorts in
terlock.
Accordingly, the farmers of the
new tariff in Washington are con-
sidering not alone conditions here,
wages here, but Germany's schedules,
the French schedules, and the con-
ditions that have determined these
schedules.
Germany and France today have
scientific tariffs, based upon exhaus-
tive study and widest provision. Our
new tariff, besides being lower in
its duties is likely to approach the
new European models in the matter
of complex adoption of means to
ends.

Friday evening the Aberdeen Com
mercial Club will tender its four
teenth annual banquet to the men,
bers Of the state legislature living
IN the north part OF the state. It has
.been the custom OF Abedeen to have
the legislators stop in the city over
night on their way to Pierre and
they have always arranged a fine
layout. II has been done through a
kindly and generous. spirit. and Alb
erdeen got the normal school. OF
course these banQuets had nothing
70 DO with the locating Of the school
there. but things come along that
way. The banquets are being kept up
now. and We presume that as long
40 the school remains in Aberdeen
they Will continue to be an annual
feature. Huron doesn't want Aber-
deem to have 9 monopoly on the good
nature OF the legislators. and the

corralled In that city and rendered

VIII put 9 legislator In the proper
frame Of mind to reciprocate when

THURSDAY, DEC. 81, 1908.
NOT WHOLLY RESPONSIBLE.

Speaker Cannon is being reviled
and criticised to a considerable ex-
tent these days for standing as the
opponent to legislation desired by
the people, and the people have come
to believe that Uncle Joe is all that
he has been charged with, and that
we're 1t not for his monarchial reign
In the house Of representatives that
much more good for the people
would have been accomplished. A
Washington correspondent to the
Springfield. Mass, Republican, lets
In q little light on the subject, and
tends to smooth the way for Speaker
Cannon, by saying that he is used
as sort of q buffer by members of
congress who play at politics. The
correspondent covers this much dis
cussed point in the following story:
"One largely contributing reason
Why In past years there have been
few or no committee calls in the
house OF representatives is that after
some committee has favorably con
sidered q disputed bill individual
members flocked to the speaker and
impl0red him not to let the bill come
TO q vote. although 1t was already on
the calenar as q result OF the COM
mittee's action. In the cases of GER
tain anti-liQuor bills and labor bills
members have gone to the speaker
by the score and told him that it
would either jeopardize or actually
end their political existence II they
were forced to openly record a vote
either for or against. The result has
been that the speaker has made him
self 9 buffer, and that the possibility
OF bringing up the dangerous meas
ures has been avoided by abandon
Ing the call Of committees and by
picking out other measures on the
calendar by means Of the ever ready
expedtent OF q special rule from the
rules committee, or rather under
general suspension of the rules. The
%1nividual members have then gone
home, and when asked by constitu-
ents why such and such a bill did
not come up have declared that the
speaker throttled 1t, which may have
been true, though by no mean all of
the truth In all cases. Clearly this
constitutes a fraud on the public. But
congressman have become accustom-
ed to seeing the speaker perform this
party service as q buffer that they
can frankly state 1t to be one OF the
purposes for which he is chosen. and
as 1t is, they do the choosing, they
an be credited with accuracy"
