Chicago. Nov. 24-Joseph G. Can
non, speaker Of the house of represen-
tattves, placed himself on record today
In favor of a revision of the tariff
In accordance with the promise of the
Republican party platform and de-
clared that SO far as his vote was
concerned he would see to it that the
announced policy of revision would
be written in the national laws as soon
as possible. The words of the speak

the principal themes of discussion.
In few Introductory sentences
Speaker Cannon declared himself in
favor Of an efficient navy and army
for the good Of the republic and quoted
a passage of scripture relative to
"chariots of Zion" to emphasize his
point On the tariff question his words
were:
ANY change in the revenue laws of
the country Of necessity is followed by
a depression Of business. Three years
ago followed the lead of Theodore
Roosevelt who declared that there
should be no revision of the revenue
laws which means the tariff until after
the next general election. His policy
was not to change existing conditions.
The Republican platform on which the
national contest has been won says,
revise the revenue laws. That re-
vision should be with due regard to
protection and penalty against dis
crtminatory nations. As a member of
the national house of representatives,

ment equal to the executive and
judiciary and will be there II live

ears produced this fall were found to
be exact reproductions of the single

The ears producedsthis year yielded

Judge of the Tenth judicial district,
will qualify for office, and here
after we will have new face oc-
cupying the bench In the Morton
county court house. 2.s. ~,
The career Of Judge Winchester
in this section of North Dakota has
run parallel with the growth of the
pioneer. He has been friend to
the citizens Of the west Missouri
slope and they are sorry to see him
take his hand from the judicial
helm. He is progressive and has
aided in every good enterprise that
has been suggested for this section
of the state.
Still we feel sure that he will con-
tinue in the future to regard the
west slope country with the same
degree of friendliness he has in the
past. One of the greatest things
the judges possesses is the faculty
of holding the friendship of the bar
at large, and this one trait Judge
Winchester has in a superlative
measure. The Pioneer joins with
the bar Of Morton county in express
ing their regret that he is leaving
us.

GOOD JoB-RAD JOB.

The city street force was busy yes
terday cleaning up the refuse from
the streets in the business portion
of the city and made an excellent
job of it. It was not long, however,
before pieces of half burnt paper orn-
amented the cutters as a result OF
their escape from the man, burning
receptacles back Of the stores, and
from waste paper thrown into the
street by pedestrians. There la an
ordinance against burning paper and
like refuse without netting over the
top of the crematory, and the police
would do a beneficent act, II they
rounded up some of the careless ones
as flying pieces of burning paper
may prove a costly piece of negliI-
gence some day. The Civic league
has. gone to considerable expense. in
placing at convenient places on the 1e
streets large cans in the hope that
the people. would, become educated to
their use in disposing Of waste paper
while passing along the walks. Many
do use them, but there are always
enough careless ones to keep the gut
tiers full Of the rubbish. It should not
be SO, especially at this time when
In two or three days the mayors and
