To tho Evening Times:
The Democrats in our community
have been quoting the speech of Mr..
Taft at Grand Forks to the effect that
the Republican party has waited twen-
ty years for the sentiment in favor
OF revision Of the tariff to crystalize
before any action could be taken. They
ask how long 1t will take to revise
the tariff II 1t has taken twenty years
to crystalize sentiment sufficient to
make the change. To prove that they
are right, they show the report of the
speech in the Grand Forks Herald
which states that 1t has taken twenty
years. Wall you kindly tell us
through your paper what Taft did say
on this matter?
"A Republican.
Judge Taft said it had taken two
years for the sentiment in favor of tar
If revision to crystalize, not twenty
years. as the Herald report stated.
The Associated Press, the Evening
Times and all the other metropolitan
papers had the statement Of two years.
The Herald was the only paper which
made the ludicrous blunder to which
the Questioner above refers.

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR LEWIS.

Among the officials who are seeking
reelection to the office which they
have filled In the. past is R. s. Lewis,
who is a candidate to succeed himself
as lieutenant governor. 1t is too often
the case that candidates for this po-
sition are regarded as merely filling
In an emergency condition in our me-
thods of government, and that almost
any one will do. The Office Is an i'm
portant one, however, in this state.
The official has two duties before him.
One of them is certain and fixed and
the other an emergency one.
The lieutenant governor is the pre-
siding officer of the state. AS such
presiding officer he has important du-
ties in connection with the session
Of the legislature. He appoints the
several committees of the state SEN
ate which have the various measures
in charge. He can make these COM
mittees useful or otherwise by the Sc
lection of the members who constitute
them. He has the power to refer the
bills introduced in the senate to the
several committees and in this way
Is able to place bill in friendly or
unfriendly hands. The one thing
which Mr.. Lewis has proven in the
past while serving in the same posi-
ton as that to which he now aspires,
is that he has always looked to the in
terest of the people in his official
work. He is dignified and courteous
presiding officer, energetic and vigor-
Gus in his rulings and so we'll ground
ed and so eminently fair was he in
his decisions that during the last ses-
sion of the legislature, when the par
liamentary battle was waged as never
before in the state legislature, not
single exception was taken to his rul-
ings, record which no other presid-
ing officer in the state has ever had.
While 1t is the earnest desire of ev-
eryone that Mr.. Johnson may live to
serve his two terms as governor, there
Is always the contingency as to a va
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1908-10-02

cancy in that Office, and in such an
instant 1t is important that the man
who reaches the chief executive
through the vacancy route be one in
every manner qualified for the posi-
ton. Mr.. Lewis has every qualifica.
ton required in an able and efficient
chief executive of great common
wealth. and should the uncertainties Of
life or other emergency make his ele-
walton to the sovernorship fact, the
state would have no apologies to
make nor would it suffer anything
because Of the same, except the newt
able result Of changing one good off,
ctal for another.
When 1t Is remembered that all the
political disgrace which has come up
on Kentucky had its inception in the
elevation Of Beckham from the lieuten-
ant governorship to that Of governor
through the death of Governor Goebel,
and that he was a man whose quail
fications would never have elevated
him to the chief magistracy of his
state even by the votes of Kentucky's
Democracy, 1t can readily be seen
what the results of indifference in the
selection of the vice official means. It
is too important to pass by without
earnest consideration. Mr.. Lewis is
worthy of the office and able to fill
it to completion

MAGAZINES
Lippincott,s for October.

OCtOUer makes Tue real beginning
of tho fall campaign in magazinedom,
and calls forth the strongest efforts
OF publishers and editors. Lippincott's
responds by bringing out an especially
good number for October. The COM
plete novel is OF unusual type, with
Hawaii as a background. The writer,
Jessie Kaufman, lived for some time
in his Paradise Of the Pacific" and
she gives US most realistic picture
of life there. Her character drawing
Is wonderful, and one cannot but sus-
pect that she has taken the liberty
of sketchins various people whom she
has met. The. plot has to do with
the mysterious disappearance of a
costly jewel during one of the delight
full social functions characteristic of
the islands. Circumstances point to
the guilt of one of two men, both of
whom seem to be above suspicion.
But the real culprit is finally revealed.
and all ends happily, though not be-
fore there has ensued series of en-
tanglements and complications which
would prove most narrowing In real
life, and which in the story keep the
reader constantly on the qui vive to
see what is going to happen next But
despite the strength of its plot, there
is great deal of comedy about the
story, the dialogue being delightfully."-
humorous in places.
There is the usual array of clever
short stories, the most noteworthy be-
ing "The School-mother," by Owen
Oliver; "The Pinhead," by Caroline
Lockhart; "The Angel of Happy Hol-
low" by Luellen Cass letters; Gu
pid-and a Call" by Edith Morgan
Willett, and 1.-THE Lone Huntsman,"
by Joseph A. Altsheler.
Herbert Dunlap writes Of 1.-THE Ra-
cial Potpourit on the Isthmus," telling
of the remarkable hodge-podge OF ma
tionalities represented among those
who are digging Uncle Sans big ditch
in Panama. George l.. Knapp dis
courses entertaihingly on THE Ser

Pickett contributes "a Memory Of

striking and illuminative article on
Founders Week." Philadelphia's big
celebration marking her 225th BIRTH
day. All who have thought OF visit
ing the City of Brotherly Love during
the week beginning October 4 will do
we'll to read this paper.
Poems by we'll known singers and
the humorous section, "Walnuts and

creditable one.
