Reduced to n Revenue Basis.

With the tariff reduced to "a revenue
basis" in accordance with the Demo
cratic program, the entire country
would suffer from the palsy of idle.
ness, and the farmer would find him
self minus the best market in the world,
because the great army of wage earn
ers would be unable to buy his pro-
ducts. The elimination of the protec-
tive principle would spell ruin for the
industrial life of the nation. Reduc-
ing the tariff to q revenue basis would
mean idle workshops in the United
States and increased activity In the in
dustrlal centers of Europe.
The people will do well to study this
phase of the campaign closely. If they
do they will see that the Republican
tariff policy is the correct policy for
this nation, and that the Democratic
policy is a policy of disaster.-Scran-
ton Truth.

declare boldly that the only purpose Of
the Republicans in devising the Dingley
schedules is to correct any inequalities

make the successor Of the Dingley law

a distinct advantage; for il the priuci-

its application has been grossly abused.

AS TO 8 CAREER IN SCIENCE.
Excellent Opportunities for Young
Men but No Great Money Reward.


The members Of the Illinois State
Academy of Sciences recently discussed
the opportunities for young men II
earn a living in various branches Of
science. On the whole, they think the
opportunities are excellent, though
they offer nothing great in the way of
financial compensation.
John G. Coulter, the well-known pro
fessOr of botany, said that the demand
for trained botanists exceeds the sup
ply. The most extensive employer of
young bOtanists in this country is the
United States government. The bu-
reaus of the Department of Agriculture
are not yet able to obtain all the men
they need adequately trained in the
various branches of botany, says the
New York Sun.
The market for teachers of botany
is brisk and good teachers who are
doctors of philosophy in botany com
mand beginning salaries which aver
age about so per cent more than those
offered eight years ago.
There is a fine field for botanists in
the Philippines where a trained man
is wanted in every province to take
charge of the educational side of bot
any, especially from the standpoint of
agricultural science.
Prof. w. A. NOyes OF the University
of Illinois said that twenty-five years

manufacture of iron and steel. To-day
chemists are required not only in the
large establishments where steel Is pro-
duced, but also in iron fOundries and
factories of all kinds. About 5000
chemists are now employed in the
United States. Not long ago nearly all
chemists here were engaged in teach
ing, while the majority of them to-day
are working in industrial lines
DR.. Balm, who is at the head of the
Illinois geological survey, said that
many railroads and mining and devel-
opment companies now employ one or
more biologists. Their employment IN
private enterprises is gripping the sur

private companies offer higher salaries
and draw away many of the best men.
The larger number of professional geol-
ogists are still connected with the Off
cial surveys. The greatest of these is
the United States geological survey,
which in the last season kept ninety
three geological parties in the field
each including from one to three geol-
ogists.
According to Prof. H V. Neal 1t is
much easier now for biologists to get

A careful study of the international

kauai IRRIGATION

In preparation for an irrigation
scheme under government auspices for
the windward side of the island of
Kauai, Surveyor Harvey, acting under
the request of the Superintendent Of
Public Works, has commenced to take
measurements of the water in the
streams in the vicinity of Kapaa, Ola
hena and Anahola. Some figures of
this kind have been obtained from the
plantations but they were incomplete
and unsatisfactory, being mostly taken
at irregular intervals.
The necessity OF obtaining such fig
ures before going ahead with comp etc
plans for irrigation is apparent and it
is proposed to get the needed data in
this line as quickly as possible. Super
intendent Campbell has also submitted
a preliminary report on the Kapaa
town water system to Acting Governor
Mott-Smith.

no jurisdiction, before hearing evil
dence, to require the petitioners to
prove any of their allegations. This
has not been required further than to
ascertain from the petitioners whether
they all had knowledge or direct in
formation concerning their charges, the
object being to avoid re-eXamining bal
lots upon mere surmise of petitioners
or others that there were Irregular
tiles. One of the attorneys of the pc
titioners is consistent in claiming that
the law does not require of any petit

KAUAI COUNTY AUDITOR MUST
WAIT UNTIL A SUCCESSOR is
QUALIFIED.

1T is an i'll wind that blows nobody
good, as adage says, statement which
will be agreed to by County Auditor
Olaf Omsted, of Kauai. AS the re-
suit of the decision of the Supreme
Court which found the contest be-
tween Charles Blake and George Bak-
er to have resulted in a tie, he will
hold over in Office for at least one
month more.
The county act of 1905, which pro-
vides for the government of all the
islands of the Territory with the eX-
ception of Oahu, states that in case
of such a predicament as has occurred
in the present instance, "All County
officers, except as herein provided,
shall hold Office for two years and
until their successors are elected and
qualified"
According to the same act when a
special election is to be held the Su-
pervisors must issue the election pro-
clamation at least forty days before
such election shall take place. This
give Omsted at least a month more
in Office, as has been stated.
