The State University at Grand
Forks has gone into a moderate ad-
vertising campaign and the advan-
tages of collegiate training are set
forth in display advertising in some
of the state papers. 1t used to be
that advertising was limited in its
field but the time has come when
advertising covers all fields of bus
ness and endeavor with the exception
of a few professions where it is dis
couraged as unethical, and where it
probably is. But there is no reason
why the educational institution with
a good training to offer should not
seek the patronage of the people with
children to educate through adyer-
Using. And newspaper advertising
will reach more people and do it
less extensively than the distribution
Of circulars. catalogues and special
matter through the direct medium
Of the mails. ~s->.'>- =. ..~@.@

. THE NEW TARIFF.

A careful reading of the speech
of Senator McCumber on the Payne
tariff bill, as presented in another
part of the Tribune this morning,
will give a different impression Of
the new measure than has been held
by a great many people. Senator
McCumber's table showing the per-
centage Of tariff reduction from the
Dingelyfrates on goods and merchan-
disc such as are principally used
by the people Of this state is es-
pecially worthy of note. The table
shows that many of the criticisms
that have been passed upon the bill
have been made ignorantly or with
intent to deceive. The whole ad-
dress of Senator McCumber is wor-
thy of careful reading and the farm
'er Or business man who wants to
know the truth regarding the tariff
bill can do no better than to follow
the senator's speech carefully. and
study the table that is appended.

OF all her curious customs London

than that formerly so strictly adhered

case of self murder. yet the Holland

the notion that the old man had been
murdered by some unknown assassin.
