With the present deficit in the state
treasury the legislature should go slow
in the matter of increasing the salaries
Of state officers and employees. While
we have always favored paying state
officials good salaries and do now, il
does not occur to us that the superinten-
dent of public instruction should be
given a salary Of S5. 900 as proposed in a
bill which passed the senate on Wednes-
day. This amount should be cut at
least fifteen hundred dollars and the
salary of the deputy should not be in
creased at all. 1t is also very doubtful
whether an additional officer to have
supervision over the rural schools should
be provided for. The house should re-
fuse to pass the senate bill without
casefully considering it and only after
reducing the salaries. The taxpayers
will watch the present Legislature more
carefully than ever before and the
present feeling is not favorable to large
expenditures

senator VIM. Alden Smith Stands
With Congressman Fordney
Against Trade Agree
I,,ents.

Just few brief months ago GER
tain newspapers and individuals
about the eighth congressional dis
trict were engaged in "A warfare up
on Congressman Fordney because of
the fact that he had a few ideas of
his own upon the tariff question and
for the further reason that mex
pressing same he had had the teme-
rity to criticise the action taken by
President Roosevelt in entering into
a trade agreement with Germany,
the result of which was to admit
thousands of dollars Of goods manu-
featured in Germany at lower rate
than that fixed in the Dingley tariff
bill. Now comes Senator VIM. Alden
Smith. with an interview in which he
endorses exactly the position taken
by Cong Fordney before the adjourn
ment of Congress in May last. Read
what Senator Smith says:
IF the report in the Herald is
true. as I have no doubt it is. that
the Ways and Means Committee of
the House intends to 50 construct its
tariff bill as to make trade agree
ments such as those entered into
with Germany impossible. / shall be
very much gratified. am something
of an ultra on the tariff subject and
believe that the schedules as enact
ed by Congress should be fixed and
we'll defined, and not subject to adj
ministrative action that can change
or alter the expressed will Of Con-
gress. Unless these schedules are
absolutely fixed it might easily be
possible for some low tariff or inef-
ficient administrative official to undo
entirely the legislation enactments
of the Congress. There would be lit
tie use in Congress celebrating over
the tariff subject and exercising its
best judgment If the rates can be
reduced at will by some official.
am glad to hear that the Ways and
Means Committee has reached such
a conclusion.
81 am not one Of those who sees a
very great amount of virtue in the
minimum and maximum plan of tar
if. 1t is too much of a plaything
and I have yet to discover any COM
pensating advantages in such. a tariff
scheme. I can draw considerable
comfort out Of the attitude of the
Herald on the tariff question, for
welcome every force that can be ex-
erted in the perpetuation Of the Re-
publican Protective Tariff system.
We need more revenue, so it is idle
to talk of those things that look to
the depletion Of our revenues"

| country is recovering from depres-
sion, and is on the upgrade of pros
perity, cannot fail to compel the at
tention of the world. That a news
paper of such vast circulation and
influence should have SO declared it
self is an event of exceptional inter-
est. 1t affords proof of careful eX-
animation Of facts and conditions
and of sound conclusions derived
therefrom.
The Herald never does anything
by halves. Starting out with the con-
viction that 1.-The industrial suprem-
acy os the United States has been
built upon and maintained by pro-
hibitive protection" it proceeds to
fortify that eminently correct judg-
ment with an array of logic and a
grouping of the views Of men of
mark that are certain to attract wide
attention.
The Herald editorials Of January
10, 1.-THE first strongly condemn
ing Andrew Carnegie's cold-blood
ed proposition to kill off competition
and leave the steel trust in complete
possession of the field of production,
and the second deploring the move
ment for tariff reduction as injurious
to all ibusiness-are broadly conceiv-
ed and powerfully framed along the
lines that lead toward the country's
highest and best good. Thoughtful
men will read and ponder, and it
may easily turn out that large num-
bers of "reformers'' will question
whether they have not all along been
mistaken in the theory that tariff re-
duction in, the interest of increased
foreign competition would operate
for the country's benefit.
Splendidly reinforcing the souno
and sensible tariff expressions in the
editorial columns is the extremely
interesting Interview with Charles
A. Moore, president of The American
Protective Tariff League, printed in
the Herald news columns of January
II. The interview is full of meat.
1t is certain to command wide
reading and general acceptance as
the expression of man of business
speaking to and for American bust
ness men. Unusually broad know
ledge of conditions the world over Of
the facts of industry and trade, and
of the certain consequence of play
ing tricks with American wages and |
production and consumption is evil
denced in every word of the inter-
view.
What is to be inferred from the |
course of the New York Herald in |
thus taking the field as the champion |
OF the 'prohibitive protection" that |
has made this country the marvel of
all lands and of all time? Is it not |
fair to construe it as an indication of |

feed:
"This is the second
winter 1 have fed Badger
Dairy Feed. l have been
feeding a three-quart
basin of corn and oat
feed to each COW twice
daily and l substituted
the Badger, feeding the
same quantity. l secured
one third more milk on
the latter feed. My cows
will give as much milk
on the Badger feed as
they will on grass. |
have never had them in
better physical condition
than they are now. L
can make money to sell
my corn and oats and
buy the Badger Feed"

II have used Badger
Dairy Feed for the past
two years and it has
given me such good sat
isfaction that this winter

For the past two winters
l used the Badger Feed
in connection with dry
feed and this year am
using it with silage and
in both cases L am well
pleased with the results.

dition and l believe that
l am getting the maxi

The Unpopular Woman.

Who is she? Why Is she unpopular!
Is she to blame, or is she the object
of a diabolical conspiracy to shut her
out from the enjoyment of circle OF
friends?
Did you ever notice how quickly,
easily and amusingly she tears a new
ACQUAINTANCE TO tatters, or with what
gusto she rolls under her tongue
choice morsel OF unpleasant gossip
about an acquaintance of longer stand
ing? Did you mark her intuitive APP
probation of small faults and little
vanities. and her unmistakable delight
In magnifying them or holding them
up to ridicule?
Then YOU know she has not one
friend. because those who might be
friends are afraid. They see she Is
sharp and cruel. They have heard her
keen satire. her sarcastic jibes.
This type of woman always gives
you the uncomfortable feeling that the
moment you leave her she is COINS TO
mako merry at your expense. For
that reason you never quite gave her
your confidence. The longer she per-
sists in her bad habit the less likely
she is to ever reform, and unless she
reforms she cannot expect to win
friends.

speak i'll of the dead. Common sense

Yet here the ponies thrive In average
