Harding had been shot through the

/ Congressman Hanna made his
fgh. for dut on barley and wheat
and for a reduction or abolition OF
| the duty on lumber, coal, and kim
dred schedules. When the confer
ence repor, on the tariff bill was
made, Mr.. Hanna was regular. and
voted for the party, measure. ri
Now the insurgent wing OF the
party is bitterly assaulting Mr.. Han
ma for his ACTON, and similarly ct
lacking Senator McCumber.
Whether the dissatisfaction over
the tariff is as real and genuine as
it is made to appear by l.he insur-
gent politicians and insurgent news
papers, is difficult to determine. The
stalwarts say ii. is not and insur-
gents make the contrary statement
The fact remains thai the state
is unusually prosperous, and the
stalwarts say that the proof Of the
pudding is the ealing, and that If
prosperous conditions continue to
prevail it will be difficult to inter
est the vo.ens of the state in pro-
paganda for the destruction OF law
under which that prosperity was
brought about, even tit is not re-,
.ponsible for it. II sa
Consensus OF Opinion
nnpyopcco ~
pressed by the insurgents with
whom I have talked, is that the
stalwart senators and congressman
have traded their birthright for
mess of pottage They say thai: the
increased duty on barley and wheat
is really nothing. Referring to SEN
ator McOumber, they say that in or
der to have himself placed on the
finance committee, he
traded of the interests Of his con-
stituents, and in order to be mem
Der of the committee which made
the tariff in the senate, he abandon
ed his right to speak for the men
he represented. They say that If
McCumber had been willing to sac
rifice a part of wha. they regarded
as a needless duty on wheat and
barley, and had stood out for a re-
duction of the tariff on the goods
tina. North Dakota buys, he would
have occupied strong tactical po-
sition in congress and would have
satisfied his people at home.
Naturally this opinion is combat
led by the stalwarts They deny
there is any real dissatisfaction with
the tariff, and that the duty on bar
ley and whea: is direct benefit to
the people of the state and they pur-
pose standing by the administration.

I'm Eros. dnwn ErIs.

Up Eros; down Eris.
Eros will be membered Frs was the
NEUROLOGICAL goddess Of discord who first
threw the golden apple and started the
feminine Olympians into the row which
finally resulted in the judgment of Paris
and the Trojan war.
Eros is triumphing' over Eris in Douglas
county, for there were 1862 licenses to wed
the month Of November and only
thirty DEGREES Of divorce were handed
down by the judges of district court on the
equity side.
1t doth appear perverse that Eros was a
man and Eris a woman. Certainly she
was mo lady"). For of the thirty DEGREES
Of divorce the ratio is q 90 8 in favor OF
womankind. Twenty-seven wives told their
woes to the court and only three husbands
had complaints to make,
Perhaps men are longer suffering" sug-
gests Colonel II. H. Claiborne OF the office
of the clerk Of district court.
To turn to a happier theme: One hundred
and sixty blushlng grooms-to-be entered
the office of License Clerk Charles Furay
during the month and secured permits 10
wed. The total number Of licenses issued
was 1854, the other two being blushing
brides-to-be, whose future husbands could
not get away to marry them that morning,
but could in the afternoon.
Douglas ounty leads the van, having 102
of the brides to its credit. Twenty were
from Nebraska outside this county, TWEEN
ty-six came from the prairies Of Iowa and
sixteen were scattering.
