A numt CT of the congressman have been led away by the se- ductive argument, I will oppose the bill upon its final passa0e, but during it's consideration l will get all the tariff 1 can for my district. " If the policy of protection is a wise one, 1t ought
 to be dealt with upon broader lines, and the protection ought to be given where it will do the nation most good, not where 1t
 will help the congressman who supports it. No one can logical
 ly oppose the principal of pro- lection and then claim part of it's benefits, for his district, and the reverse is true, that no one
 W ho is claiming a part of the
 benefits of protection is likely to
 make a strong argument against
 the protective principle. The democrat who tries to get some of the protection for his district
 will find that in proportion as he succeeds he is likely to make protectionists out of the persons benefited, and they will threaten to defeat the congressman and his party unless the protection IS continued. A congressman who favors a reduction of oily those schedules which do not affect his district is a crippled soldier and will be found in the ambulance or hospital whenever the battle for tariff reform is on.
 Even if the principle of protect ion were admittedly right and the policy admittedly wise, no effort is made by the protectlon- ists to show that we need the tariff rates for which they ask. A large portion of the value ot lumber. for instance, is in the stumpage, and reduction of the tariff would not reduce the labor cost, but merely the value ot the pine lands. What argument can the owner of timber lands make in support of a law designed to increase the value of his land by putting a tax upon all other kinds of land-for 1t must be re- that the tax on lumber must be paid by somebody and the burdon falls upon those who buy lumber. Aside from the arguments made against the duty on other necessaries of life there is an additional argument to be mage against the tariff on lumber. namely. that it encourages the destruction of our forest. It IS criminal folly to offer bounty for the destruction of our forests at the very time We are frigbten- ed at the climate and other evils which follow in the train of this destruction.

COMMENCEMENT
 AT OPERA HOUSE
Largest Crowd That Ever Witnessed Closing Exer-
 cises of Our Public Schools

One of the largest crowds ever assembled in the opera house was on hand last Thursday night to witness the closing exercises of the Prescott Public Schools.
 The program was carried out without the smallest hitch. The only disappointment was the absence of Hon. Joe T. Robinson who was to deliver the address to the graduating class but vas kept away on accaunt of a mis- understanding as to dates and was compelled to fill a date at anotker place. Each pupil on the program did splendid work and was cheered lustily and flowers were literally banked up- on the stage around them, thus showing their efforts were high ly appreciated by their friends.
 A diploma of honor was given to each of class of eleven who were not absent a single day nor tardy a single time during the session. The class was compos- ed of the following: Ida Hale, Bertha Weaver, Nellie May, Vernon Stephens, Charley liar rel, Jonnie Hesterly, Clip Me Millian, Jim Attaway, Berna Vickers, Bessie Vaughan and Mary Milburn.
 The climax, as it were, of the school was the picnic at the Park Friday, where all the children met and spent pleas ant and profitable day. At 10 o'clock the children marched to the Park where the exercises were begun with a contest in Reclamation by l2 boys for medals offered by w. C. T. U., after which the little fellows of the lst and 2nd grades danced around the May Pole. This beautiful exercise was conducted by Miss Irene Rosston, teacher of the 2nd grade.
 Then dinner was announced and everybody took part in this exercise. After dinner the medals given by different indi- viduals and the w. C. T. U. were awarded by Rev. w. C. Hilliard in a brief but interesting talk. The medals were awarded as follows:
 Board medal Miss Mable Hale
 McRae medal-Miss Mary Mil. burn.
 Dr. J. s. Chastain medal Claude NeYth.
 Haynie medal Miss Fife Shell
