There is an intimate relation
between the Protective Tariff and
this necessity far strong navy
to assert and defa nd oui CONNIE ;cia
interests. Itis reassuriEg to learn
fooG Mr.. Taf'ts inaugural that while
he feels bound TO favor ''revision'
ofthe schedules he does not favo
sweeping reductions and is a staneb
supporter of the principle of Pro
tectien to American industries anu
American labor. Uader the Pro-
tectlvs Tariff our industries have
grown until we now export domestic
manufactures ready for consumption
to the yearly value of $500, 600, 600,
besides manufactures for further use
in manufacturing to the yalde %
$3.50, 600, 600.
Our fast growing industries mus
find outlets, and therefore theimpor =

enterprise and modern methods with

alone and refrain from meidling
with the Tariff. Since thera is to

REELECTED.

As was expected, Cannon was
reelected speaker of the house.
There was no show of beating
him, from the start, and many Re
publicans saw no reason for the
atpeVnpt. Uucle Joe is a maa Of
great nerve and force and possibly
is needed in that place. But we
thank, with maay cougressmen, that
he shog1d be shorn of some of his
arbitrary power. The rules of the
house were slightly modified as q
sort of compromise.
Uncle Joe will have it In hi!
power to greatly humiliSte those
congressmen who had the nervs to
stand out in the fight against hi
tyrany during the coming sessiSa.
We will see soon what course hs
win take and determine the size o.

Perfectly PIain Nov.

Last week quite little buZg was
created 10 scientific circles in Ohanute
by the announcemeat through the
Idailies that the remains Of some pre-
historic monster had been uneArthed
by the shovel of a man digging d
trench for water pipe on South
Santa Fe. Many theories were ad
Eanced as to how the rem aims came TO
be there and as to what kind of a
monster IL could have been.
Citizen Jim Allen was quoted as
saying il had slid IN on some great
land slide. Others pronounced IT a
sea varmint and said it had been
stranded GU our shores wheR the Gulf
of Mexico reached 20 this locality
All was going we'll and discussion
waxed warm till City Engineer Young
came forward with the statement
that ssme eight or ten years ago some
kind Of show was exhibiting a
huge sea turtle through this locality
and that while here his turtleship
died and his remains were dumped
Toto a sewer ditch and covered up
Thus all theorizing was stopped and
the wonder ceased.
BY the way that must have been a
big turtle to sport such head as ii
had.

FARMERS AND THE TARIFF.

In discussing the country-life
problem, the "News" broke out the
other day with a declaration that
improvement in the condition OF
the farmers of this country calls for
repeal of the Protective tariff.
We should like to know how the
sugar-beet growers of Colorado
would like that peicy to be applied
to the Tariff on sugar, or what the
sheep men would think of the re
moval of the wool Tariff as a means
of improving their business and
making it more profitable. To re
move the Tariff on sugar would
destroy the sugar industry in this
State, and to place wool on the free
list would cause every WOO! grower
to sell his sheep.
This demand of the "News" fer
the abandonment Of Protection is an
illustrator of the drivel talk III
which Democrats Incapable of rea-
soning indulge. They would tear
everything to pieces for the purpose
of carrying out theory Of Political
economy which their leaders learned
from doctrinaire books and which
the others have accepted without
any zeal understanding of what it
means.
Fortunately the revision of the
Tariff will be entrusted to Repsbli-
CARS, notwithstanding Colorsdo's
blxnder ia eEectlng three Foee-
Traders to representa- an the House
of Representatives and another
Feee- Trader to represent 1t ia the
Sena;e.
The pr;ociple' of lFrotectioa will
be preserved, and there will be no
reckless slashing of Tariff rates.
Business interests will not be sub
Jscted to any shock by the changes
,which may be made, for CeHgrsss
has too much comnon sense to
oxerturn the Tariff wall behind
which SO many of the great indus
tries of this coratry have been bailt
cp, and in consequence of which
the biggest market iRthe world has
been developed for the sale of farm
pgoducts, Denver TRepubiicRn.

THE GAME.

Our high school boys went to
Parsons Friday night to play over
again the disputed game.
They played and lost. this game
settling the penant contest. 1t now
goes to Cherryvale. Both the boys
and girls of Cherryvale won.
Somehow there was considerable
talk this year about unfairness
among the referees and umpires.
There may have been little natural
prejudice among these officers In
favor of their home teams, such a
thing is scarcely to be avoided
But we can't think there was any
studied effort on the part of these
fellows officiating to steal a game
from the opposing team. Such a
thing would be too contemplate to
consider.
However, this matter could be
easily remedied by choosing an cut
side and dlsinterested referee for
each game, as is dene in other parts
of the state where these contests are
held. This wculd remove all
grounds for complaint, and we hope
such policy will be adopted foI
next year. We are of the opinion
that our girls should have won the
penant but do aot believe our boys
merited it. They are deficient in
team work and seem TO get rattled
and nervous in contest and make
a bad out at pitching goals. Our
boys mast learn that intelligent and
constant practice Is the price OF
proficiency.
1t is not enough TO GO through
the practice in lisaless ppofunctofy
sort of way or in careless beis
ferrous manner, but all tAe intelli-
gence and Gaind of the player should
be enlisted and the muscles and
nerves so drilled that they are Gem
pletely subservient to the will OF the
player. Our boys must dismiss
from their minds, the idea, if they
have any ouch idea, that they were
Robbed of the honors. 9Weknew an
lknprincipled official may defeat a
club, where the score'is close, but
such things are not to be presumed
IN these school games. Clean ath-
letics should be the watchword-
A we'll supervised system of ath-
letics in a school, outside OF the
great physical beaeft'te the pEpils,
has a wonderful.effec on the whole
school in keeping up a school spirit
that stimulates to better work.
Another gear we hope tie see
basket ball teams organized and
carefully drilled till they will be
recognized as winners from the way
thew play the 6rst game.

well as business men who took

has also prepared many of the

When her husband announced

Mrs. Shank took advantage of her
