Now that che national and state
campaign is all over would it not
be a good thing for the citizens of
Williston to start some kind of a
systematic campaign IN the inter-
ests of our city. To boost for a
town to the best advantage we
should have some kind of an Or
ganization and we know of no bet
ter one for this work than a good
live commercial club. Other lead
ing cities in the state are starting
in on a boosting campaign and
they are doing so by first getting
their commercial clubs work
ed up into good live organizations.

but it is the intention of the Off
GERS to remedy this if possible and
a meeting will be called in the

we see no reason why the mem
bership should not be raised to
$50 within short time.
One hundred and fifty men
boasting for a single proposition

ence of the club will be enhanced
by an increased membership. Let

When the manufacturers OF
paints, varnishes, medicinal pre-
parations, perfumes, etc, were
pctitioning congress for free al
cohol, says the Chicago Tribune,
they said that if they had it they
could snap their fingers at foreign
competitors. They got it, and
yet are now appearing before the
committee on ways and means to
request that the high tariff duties
be left as they are. A few of the
men who addressed the committee
on Tuesday asked for higher
duties. One of them said with
great frankness that they would
enable him to make more money.
This request that there shall be
no decrease anywhere, even when
the duties are prohibitory and
hence produce no revenue, will be
heard at all of the hearings. There
may be pretty general agree
ment among the manufacturers
who attend that the Dingley law
duties are miracle of wisdom and
moderation too moderate in some
instances.

Judge Lindsey's Victory in
Denver.

Judge Ben B. Lindsey, the
father of the Juvenile Court in
Denver, has won another great
triumph. Forced to fight against
bosses and machines of both par
ties for his. reelection, Judge
Lindsey has received an over

unique work. Election day
brought no more inspiring result
than this victory in Denver" re-
marks the New York Evening
Post, which goes on to discuss the
incident thus:
Judge Lindsey, hampered in
his splendid efforts for Denver
children by the bosses who, in his
own words, were making child
criminals more quickly than we
could cure them,' told the bare,
sharp truth about several 'promi-
nent and respected citizens. In a

it joins Mr.. Bernards on the south
he will have one of the finest

THE TARIFF HEARINGS

TO get from the men who show up
at these hearings were to be all it
had to guide it it would make. a
sorry mess of tariff revision.
Happily they are unpreludlced
experts who have been collecting
data as to the cost of production
at home and abroad. These data
probably will show that there are.
many duties which ought to be
reduced. Congress should be gov
erned by them and not by over
protected interests, such as the
United States Steel corporation,
the American Sugar Refining com
pany and the tobacco trust.

But there were men in Denver;
and they induced Mr.. Lindsey to
run on a separate ticket. They

the difficulties which the State
election laws put in the way of
the independent voter. Judge
Lindsey must take this as a call to
the higher, more difficult task OF
cleaning up Colorado politics.
That task he began when he got
