MAKING OF TARIFF A SELFISH
PROPO6ITION.


If Senator Bcvcridge and the men
who are advocating tarlff commits
sion could only convince senator's and
members of the House OF Representa-
tived that the best method of deal
Ing with the tariff was by commits
sion there would be no doubt about
The passage OF the bin which calls for
such an organization. The trouble is
that Congress Will not Ia convinced
In theory Bcvcridge Is probably cor
rect but II Will not work out I'm
practice. A Republican tariff bill Is
constructed by compromise among
members of the House and the Sen
ate. Each man gets as favorable
terms rs he can for his own consti-
tnents. IL man represents n dis
trict which consumes instead OF pro-
duccs given article he gets as low
rate rs he can. Every man looks out
for his own. Tariff making among the
Republicans has become to be IA sell
fish consideration first. with patriot
ism running bad second This Is
not right. II would be better if a
tarin could be made on scientific lines
without regard To the wants and
wishes Of communities or states. Lot

trict.
lie, this fact sink down deep into
the intelligence of every person who
advocates tariff commission: No
congressman Will voluntarily surrcn :
der the right to look after the interests
of his constituents. lie Will not give
M the privilege of having an oppor-
lunity to vote In the manner by which
the supposedly best interests OF his
district Will BE- served or course /,
Is said that the Bcvcrldgc bill Is only
TO ascertain facts and report what
ought to be done. but nobody can
convince a protcctlonlst that any body
OF experts can scientifically fix the
schedules of the immense protected
interests of his state or community
They prefer to protect those schcd-
ulcs with the voting strength they
possess in Congress.
Senator Bcverldge pleaded for re-
moval OF the tariff from partisan poli-
tics. II YOU take the tariff ont of
politics there Is nothing of great I'M
portancc upon which the two great
parties can agree. Roosevelt has so
thoroughly gulped all other Demo-
cratic doctrines that there Is hardly
enything else but the tariff to fight
e national campaign out on. The COM
mission may in time serve its pnr-
pose. hut inst at the present time
what the great majority of people
want Is n straight out and ont con-
test on the tariff. and they are not
very severely crlticising Congress for
not swallowing Roosevelts idea OF n
commission to consider the question.
If such commission was sanctioned
by law there would be absolutely no
chance for the tariff being an issue
at the coming campaign, and that is
condition that the people do not
desire just at the present time.

POST YOURSELF ON POLITICS


Tho man Who ncglects to post
himsclf on politics is not doing his
duty as n citizen. The woman who
fails to at least keep apacc with the
progress OF developments Is placing
herself out OF line with the majority
of tho people OF the country The
national campaign is in It's opening
stages. and from this date right up
TO the closing OF the polls and the
counting of votes on election day,
Interest In politics Is going TO dom.
mate everything clso in this country.
IT has been said so often. rs cam
paign time approaches, that 1t Is the
duty OF every citizen to vote and
vote lntelligently. that tho dcclara-
fion has grown monotonous and
through that very monotomy as In
danger OF being neglected or ignored.
But this yenr, as seldom has been the
fact In history, the people - the
common" people--owe It TO thcm-
selves, owe 1t to their families and
10 each other as we'll as to the conn
try - not only to go to the polls on
election day and vote, but 1t Is this
year moro than ever important that
every man who Is entitled and
charged iwth the duty OF voting shall
qualify himself to 30 to the polls
with o clear idea of just what are
the Issues. who are the candidates,
and on which side. and with whom
nerit lies. Every woman owes 1t to
herself and to those people and those
Interests in which she has equally
ms great concern as L e mon, to be
thoroughly well posted on public mr.
fairs.
The interests involved In this CAM
pnign arc momentous In The extrme.
and there is not n man or Woman in
the country who Is not deeply con-
cerned 1t Is not necessary to go
snto the details OF those Issues Mt
this time. But II will not do for n
man to say that politics Is n dirty
game and refuse to play it. 1t is
not game at all, and IL is only by
tho participation of clean, honest
people that the dirt can be elimi-
mated. Not only should every man
cast his vote, but every man should
take his part in all the work pre-
liminary 10 the actual holding of the

X. The fight of the trusts Is being made
alone on Senator Hansbrough for the
reason that he is the only one that
can do them any particular harm.
They are not putting up much of a
fight on johnson or Marshall. The
reason is very obvious. Senator Hans
brough is so strong that his influence
is readily felt. He has great power in
the Senate by reason Of his years Of
active service, and the high positions
he holds on committees. His position
as head Of the Committee on AgrieuI-

trusts that are opposed to the farmer

ATTRACTION 4 I! R;
Eagles Carnival VIII. be Big Event
of the. Summer

The Eagles Carnival which will be
held in Devils Lake in June will be
the biggest attraction Of the season
and at that time there will be hund.
reds of people in the city, and great
many who have never. been here be.
for and it Is UP, to the people of the
city to make the affair the grandest
end greatest thing. Of the kind ever
held in this part of the state.
Wherever these carnivals are held
there is always a large crowd and an
immense amount Of money is left in
the city that would otherwise not have
come here. The Eagles are doing
their best to have the best possible
features for the entertainment of the
visitors and have engaged the Greater
St. Paul Carnival company which con.
sists of special train and all new
apparatus for the carnival. The people
will have the opportunity of seeing at
fractions that are entirely new to the
United States as this company have
imported feature acts that are the
sensation Of the world, and cannot be
seen at any other carnival than those
put on by this carnival company which
will be here. The dates set for the
attraction are June % to ~ inclusive,
the Eagles are using their best efforts
and an unlimited amount Of money to
advertise the carnival and the people
of the city should. be willing to CO
operate with them and help advertise
the affair. When you write to- your
friends tell them that Devils Lake is
going to have carnival this summer
and try and induce them to come here
and spend their vacation during the
run Of the carnival and assure them
that they wil1shaye a good time. These
are the things that make and advertise
a city ana unless every body does their
part the city and all the promising
things we have III store Will die sfoI
want of publicity &.
