Mitchell will have the greatest corn
palace Of its existence in another two
months. 1t will have the distinction
OF presenting to the people Of the
northwest the greatest musical or
g~anization in the country-the Unit
ed States Marine band. 1t has taken
some time and trouble to secure the
governments band. but 1t will be
worth the while. And what good pa
l~triotic citizen will miss the oppor-
|tunity to hear the nations most IA
nous band. We predict that Mitch
Tell will have the biggest crowds in
Tits history, and she will have the
best corn palace likewise. Every
thing else will be on the same ma
|iestic scale as the band proposition.
The opportunity of the average per.
son to hear the Marine Band is very
meagre and this will be once in a
lifetime to thousands to hear the IA
nous organization. The secretary OF
the navy cancelled two important en-
gagements-one at the White House
1.-THE other at the Capitol-in order
that the band might come out tc

High society women of the east
have gone into the smuggling busi-
ness. This has been carried on for
q number Of years among the crim-
inal classes in trying to get some val
liable jewelry or cloth from the for
eign countries over here without
paying tn usual duty. In the past
few ears wealthy people of a sup
posedly high station have resorted
to this same thing. This lady is q
society leader Of Boston and she was
caught IA the act of trying to get
through with y very valuable neck
lace. The custom officers were re-
lentless when they found the jewels
upon her. She was required to pay

The baseball fans OF the country
are amazed at the action Of Johnny
Killing. the former catcher Of the Chi
cago cubs. Killing is the greatest
catcher in the country and was the
idol OF the fans wherever he APP
peared, but he has fallen sadly from
grace when he broke his contract
with the cubs, much to their detri-
ment in the national league race.
Killing just now declares that the
cubs wouldn't accept his terms and
that he would not play with them
now. Killing had a three year con-
tract with the cubs, and he simply
broke it. The cubs were not justified
in listening to any proposition that
King might make. It was his bust
ness to fulfll his contract. AS a re-
suit Of that action Killing has lost his
popularity with the baseball fans and
will never be the drawing card, for
1t was considered as unsportsman-
like for a man to do what King did.
He would never have lost his popu-
|larity IL he had carried out this years
contract with the cubs.

The Argus-Leader landed on the
Press with some effect, when it quot
ed a recent editorial from the col
umns of the Press concerning the in
crease on cotton and wooden goods
which followed the senate's vote on
the tariff bill, tie Press laying the ad-
vance to the efforts of Senator Aid
rich. The Argus-Leader calls the at
Itention of the Press to certain pages
of the Congressional Record where
in the vote of Senator Gamble is
given as voting in favor of the very
thing which the rress denounces. ana
further that Gamble and Crawford
voted in favor of the cotton glove
schedule as favored by Lodge and
|Aldrich. The Press at one time at
tempted to defend the position of our
two senator's on the tariff measure,
but their votes are hard TO explain,
when they we're directly against the
interests Of the people Of their own
state.

out in his extremity. We question
the wisdom of justice in taking a
prisoner into a room and then using
questionable means to force from
him a confession of a crime that he,
might have committed or might not
have committed. 1t is not treating a
mar fairly in the least. The law does
not countenance any such a proceed
ing when it presumes a man innocent
until he is found guilty and the time
to do that is in a court of justice. OF
course the crime that Victor is al
legged to have committed was a fear
full one. and some one should be pun
ished for it, but to hold a man up
when he is singe-handed and force a
confession from him is wrong and
should not be permitted in this coun-
try. Victor will be tried fol. the mur-
der July 81.

1t is likely that the conference be-
tween the house and senate will end
today and the tariff bill will again be
taken under discussion. Free hides
seemed to cause a great deal of dis
%turbance among the members of the
conference committee and the propo-
sltlon was agreed to and then dis
agreed upon. Whether hides will
come IN free is still a disputed propo-
sltlon. This action also covered free
oil and a smaller schedule on lumber.

en- the committee a week to reach a
disagreement on tAese propositions.
President Taft has shown a DISPOSE
ton to insist that the revision should
be downward, and doubtless has had
much effect in preventing the con-
mittee from reaching a definite con-
clusion.

Publicity His Great Card

written an open letter to President
TAFT suggesting that the state legis-
latures be allowed to vote ON an
amendment to the constitution pro-
viding for the election Of United
States Senator'S by direct vote of the
people. We take it for granted that
Mr.. Bryan that the states have u right
to vote on that proposition whenever
they e ut, and that only q few
more of them are needed to go on
record to make the issue complete
and force the amendment. Still. Mr..
Bryan has a right to make suggest
ions and he probably will continue to
oher them, as he understands better
than any other man in the public eye
that 1t pays to advertise.

is about the first exposition in years

sible that people of wealth should
resort to things of this character,
supposing of course that if caught
they could easily buy their way
clear. But Collector Loeb is enforcing
the customs laws without regard to
person or purse and what is good for
the poor is also equally good for the
rich. By arresting this one society
leader the collector will have less
trouble with others when they learn
that it is impossible to bride the Off
GERS to let them of easy.

Senator Deliver was in attendance
at a dinner party given by Senator
Newlands at which President Taft
was the guest of honor, and the Iowa
senator cast a little restraint over the
gathered company. The guests were
all republicans except Senators Ba-
con and Hughes, who are democrats.
Before dinner was served there was
no mention Of the tariff. and It was
being avoided as close as possible.
When dinner was being served, how
ever, Senator Carter made a few Jest
full remarks to Senator Ledge with
reference to the speech delivered by
Senator Beveridge on the night the
vote was taken on the tari.. Lodge
waved his hand nightly and said
there was absolutely nothing to the
speech Of Beverage. The Indiana
senator was not present at the din
ner, consequently Senator Dolliver
spoke up for him and said: "No
there was nothing to 1t. Ne merely
said we had made some promises to
the people and ought to keep them
that's ALL" The retort was SO true

When William j. Bryan was in
Minneapolis last year, during the
state fair, some extremely admiring
friends presented the gentleman with
a donkey, and at the time the incl
dent caused quite a good deal OF
comment. for the donkey was to be
regarded as a very successful mascot
in the presidential race. It wasn't
long before the popularity Of the
idea began to wane, when 1t was
found impossible to carry the donkey
along with the candidate. It was ship
ped back to Fairview, after which the
trials Of the animal begun. 1t was
IN charge Of the Fairview committee
and the efforts were numerous to get
rid Of him. After the election was
over and the mascot failed to work
successfully the efforts grew more de-
ltermined to lose the donkey some
where In the country. It was ship
ped hither and yon. but always was

Mr.. Bryan. The last report received
or the democrat mascot was that II
