Since the senate and house conferee
committee have got to work, the
hand of President Taft is being shown
and he indicates that he is standing
for the reduction of the tariff on
many of the necessities of life. He
desires that oil, hides and coal be
placed on the free list and asks for
a more liberal reduction of the lum-
Der schedule. There are other things
that the president wants which he
will make manifest as time goes on.
This idea of the president is not par
ticularly in accord with the sent;-
ment of Senator Aldrich and his fol-
lowers, but it is just in touch with
with the ideas of the general public,
which has to purchase the articles
upon which an exorbitant tax has
been placed. President Taft's attitude
is in accordance with the republican
platform for revision of the tariff
downward. The senate confsrees
have suggested to President Taft that
he send for the senators who have
supported the high tariff, and induce
them to release the senator's from
their pledges which they have made
to stand by the higher schedules. By
securing a release from these pledges
it is represented that the president
a aid materially in securing the re-
auctions that he desires. The whole
matter of the tariff is far from set
tied and there is a strong possibility
that the people will have their inning
yet.

There Is more or less talk goiag On
through the press about the enforce
ment Of the a%nti-treatinE law. and
how It is impossible to enforce the
same. The zane can be said of the
cigarette law. Doubtless It is felt in
some places that this law cannot be
enforced. but 1t is all up to the ofi-
cers to see that 1t is enforced, Just
the same with the a~nti-treating law.
Under the law a man can smoke a
but If he is caught in the
act of making n he is liable to ar
rest. This has been exemplifed on
two or three different occasions in
Mitchell since the law went into eff
feet. The officers have construed the
cigarette law to mean that a person
caught in the act of manufacturing a
cigarette is violating the law, but
the smoking Of it is a different propo-
sition. Several parties have been ar
rested for doing this very thing, and
while it seems a small matter to make
a cigarette, yet It is a violation of
the state law. The mer act of treat
ing a man to a glass Of beer is equal
ly as small a matter. but it is a vio-
lation Of the state law and should be
treated accordingly. The superstition
is that the act Of making a cigarette
seems to be such a small offense that
An omcer would not place a man UNI

law. although the latter is more DIM

ELECTION OF

Chicago Tribune-COngress sub
mits to the state an income TAX
amendment that may reach tneil in
the near future. One providing for
the popular election of senators is
OH the way. This is one which the
senate never would vote to uDult TO
the states, but there is another way
to get it before them.
The constitution says that upon
the application of the legislatures of
two-thirds Of the states cous.ess
shall call a convention for propos-
ing amendment" One by one during
the last few years state legislatures
have been adopting resolutions re-
questing congress to call a convention
for the purpose of submitting an
amendment for the direct election of
senators. Twenty-seven of them afe
nov on record. They have spoken
for:
Arkansas, Louisiana, Oregon,
California. Michigan Pennsylvania,
Colorado, Minnesota, South Dakota,
Idaho, Missouri. Tennessee,
Indiana, Montana, Texas,
Illinois, Nebraska, Utah,
Iowa, Nevada, WASHINGTON.
Kansas, N. Carolina Wisconsin,
Kentucky, Oklahoma, Wyoming.
Only four more states are needed to
make up the t%wo-thirds. New Eng
land is not likely to furnish any of
them, but several southern states
which have not moved in the matter
yet may make up the quota. Then it
would be necessary for congress TO
call a convention. 1t would be- the
first of the kind, and it might be of
the opinion that it had a right to pro-
pose other amendments than the one
relating to the election of senators.
But while it needs only thiriy-one
states to call a convention. it takes
thirty-five to ratify an amendment.
Judging from present indications. the
six New England states, New York,
and New Jersey would not ratify one
for the popular election of senator's.
Here are eight of the twelve states
whose action would defeat it.

From all reports from the conven-
ton of the Missouri river nayiga-
ton association harmony did not pre-
vail at the close of the session, the
trouble being principally in the cleo
ton Of a president. The fellows down
the river seem to bessquite strong on
improving the river at their points
but do not display very much interest
for improvement up in the Dakotas.
The election of a president seemed
to have a greater call on the atten-
ton of the south delegates than any
thing that would be beneficial to river
improvement. The supposition has
been that it was the intention to en-
list the support of all towns along
the Missouri in order to make the en-
tire stream navigable, but evidently
it is the purpose of the south support
ers to have their portion of the river
improved first and then perhaps let
the rest take care OF itself. Were
the purpose different there should
not have been the acrimonious feel
ing displayed over the election Of a
president. The election, resulted in

held and at each the great hall. with
a capacity of 10000 people. was filled
to the limit. Then the English sisters
sold their literature, which in this
country is gladly given away. and
when the opportunity occurs a col
lection is taken. 1t is vastly different
in this country. At a convention in
Carnegie hall last winter 1t was sug-
gested that a collection be taken up
but the officers sat down on the prop
osition with great force. as they did
on the effort to sell their literature.
1t is we'll that the American sisters
do not follow the plan of the English
women if they want to make a success
of their reform in this country.
