 Had an averaging angel come from heaven to punish Twingle the scene could not have been more awe inspir- ing than the sight of this man who had vindicated the name of one who had blighted his life. Twingle's eyes fell to the ground; his head sank upon his breast; then, staggering. he left both his vindicator and his friends and descended alone into the valley.
 Silently the people gathered around the man of melancholy. Some of the older ones took his hand and kissed it, while the younger ones looked on awe stricken. Finally an old man who had known Lubkin when a boy said:
 "This is an awful revenge. William. It would have been more merciful if you had driven a knife into his breast" Lubkin made no reply.

NEWSPAPER SUPPORT

A newspaper, if it has any brains,
conscience and muscle back of it, must
continually decide between doing its
duty and injuring its pocket. In any
position but that of editor the public
is able to separate the individual home
from the collective citizen. But if an
editor does not please them it is at his
pockets they aim. Thus it is the news
papers learn who their friends are. The
man who reads newspaper and adj
mires it all the year around, yet gives
his business support to some other con-
Germ, is not a friend to the former
newspaper. Admiration alone will not
run newspaper. There are too many
men who expect an editor to slave in
defense of their pet notions and hob
bies, advocate their views against the
strongest opposition and coolly with
hold their business support, by which
alone a country newspaper can live.
Talk about paper having a public
duty to perform and an editor having
to work for his principle is cheap when
others stand back and extend a luke
warm neutrality. -Seaford d Ell.

MiLcH GOATS FOR WISCONSIN,

A herd of five imported Swiss mich
goats has just been received at the
farm of the Agricultural Experiment
Station at the University of Wisconsin.
These animals have been leased to the
station by Ernest Gozenbach, Sheboy-
gan, Wis, for cooperative tests on the
breeding and rearing of mich goats, to
determine their usefulness, economy of
milk production, and relation to other
classes of live stock. This breed of
goats known as the "Schwarzenburg-
Guggesberger" breed is noted for it's
large milk production, the milk being
of particular value for infants and
invalids, since goats are practically
immune to tuberculosis. These goats
are kept in Switzerland as a chief
source of food for poor people.
The herd includes two pairs, one
aged and one young pair, and one six
months-old kid There are compare
lively few of these goats in the United
States, and this is believed to be the
first time scientific test of their use
fulness has been attempted in this
country. The work will be under the
direction of Prof. G. C. Humphrey,
head of the animal husbandry depart
ment, who will be assisted by Mr.. Con
zenbach in establishing herd.

When Lenroot downed Jenkins for
the nomination for Congress, num-
erous wise heads said, "You'n soon
see how you've Numbered. Lenroot
has no pull, will get on no important
committee, won't be able to do any
thing" Recent events give those
wise heads cause to guess again.
The Cannon organization had the
tariff bill framed with a rs per cent
duty on petroleum products, and the
committee on rules thought it had
fixed things so a separate vote could
not be taken on that schedule. In a
parliamentary mix-up Lenroot dis
covered an opening for an amendment,
and when the House was given the
opportunity it sent Uncle Joe's oil
tariff kiting.
Who was it said Lenroot would be
only minnow among whales? Rather
a king bird among hawks, amt it yet!

Place Where There Are No Half Hoii-
days for Traffic Squad Men.
Saturday afternoon seems like a
slack time for most folks who are in
business, even in winter. In the sum-
mer certainly most working persons
get away early. But to the man who
believes that most Of world is taking
a half holiday just because he gets
one trip up South street in the aft
ernoon will prove a revelation.
For one thing, that much discussed
adjunct to tie police force, the traffic
squad, never gets to know what Sat
urday half holiday is apparently.
South street, with the freight piers
and the ferries is jammed full Of
trucks all afternoon.
The man who believes the traffic
squad men have an easy time when
they are handling just trucks, unmix-
ed with pleasure traffic, will see how
wrong he is Down there the traffic
men have an afternoon Of unmixed
hard labor, and the wonder is that
they accomplish as much as they do
The hundreds of trucks they deal
with are kept well in line, and the
work the truckmen do is facilitated by
the clever traffic men. This is part
of the city where visitors are few, and
for that reason the excellent work OF
the traffic squad does not come into
general notice.

POSSIBLE CHANCE

(From Tuesdays Superior Telegram
81 will vote against the Payne tariff
bill as it comes back from the senate
if | am the only republican in the
house to do so,' was the statement
made by Congressman Irvine L. Len
root today before he left for Washing
ton. Mr.. Lenroot left this afternoon
for the National capitol where he will
remain until the tariff bill comes up in
the house for final passage.
Mr.. Lenroot stated that the Payne
bill for which he voted in the house
was an improvement over the Dingley
bill but that the bill as it will come
back from the senate brings the grand
average above the Dingley tariff. Mr..
Lenroot's statement was that he would
vote against the bill unless it was an
improvement over the Dingley bill and
there apparently is but little chance
that it will be.
''There is no chance to defeat the
BILL" said Mr.. Lenroot. 1--WE will
probably have no opportunity to vote
on the separate schedules as the vote
will undoubtedly be taken on the bill as
whole. This will give us chance to
recruit all of the insurgent strength
against it and if the democrats stick
we can beat the measure.
"a solid vote from the democratic
side, however, is scarcely anticipated.
The republican insurgents can muster
20 votes and if there are few deser-
tons from the ranks of the democratic
regulars the bill can be defeated"

This tariff debate has it's amusing
side and it's humor is not only mirth
provoking but instructive. During the
discussion of the iron ore schedule
Senator Burrows of Michigan made a
very elaborate argument to prove
that the iron ore supply of this coun-
try could not be exhausted in 5000
years, which provoked Mr. Rayner of
Maryland to ask if he was to infer
from this that we were to have pro-
lection upon iron ore for 5000 years.
The statement as to the length of time
that the iron deposits would supply the
world with it's needs of this commodity
was made ostensibly in reply to a
statement which had been made the
day previous by Senator Crawford of
South Dakota. Senator Smith, the
junior Senator from Michigan, speak
ing a couple of hours later the same
day figures that the iron ore supply
| would last about three thousand years
before it would be exhausted. Sena-
tor Culbertson called attention to the
report of the National Conservation
! Commission which said that at the
present rate of consumption the sup
| ply could not be expected to last be-
yond the middle of the present CEN
fury.
And then Senator McCumber of
North Dakota gave very learned
discussion as to what the Senator from
South Dakota, Mr.. Crawford, said and
the Senator from North Dakota made
calculation from statement of James
j. Hill in which he arrived at the time
| it would take to exhaust the supply,
and from his scattered remarks it will
take anywhere from 300 to 5000 years.
All of which contradictory statements
brought Mr.. Beverage, the Senator
from Indiana, to his feet with the
statement that "this morning about
three hours ago according to the state
ment of the senior Senator from Michi-
gan, it would take 5000 years to ex-
haust the iron ore. But later, accord
ing to the junior Senator from Michi
gan, it would take 5000 years. May
be the Senator from South Dakota
(Mr. Crawford was not so far wrong
after all. We find 6, 900 years reduced
to 3, 900 in two short hours, maybe we
shall find in two hours more that 6, 900
years will dwindle to the few score
years stated by the Senator from
South Dakota.
This occasioned a wrangle covering
two pages of the Congressional Rec
ord and then Mr.. Rayner of Maryland
read from the Record what the Sena-
tor from South Dakota really said.
Mr.. Beverage: think the Senator
indicated at what period of years in
the future our supply of iron ore will
be exhausted. Did the Senator say
about 40 years?
Mr.. Crawford: | referred to lumber,
70 years if the consumption goes at the
present rate.
So one whole morning was taken up
by these grave and reverend Senators
making reply to a statement of the
Senator from South Dakota on iron ore
when the statement of the Senator
from South Dakota was made in ref
erence to lumber. This is the way
tariff is made. While it is humorous,
it's lesson is unmistakable. There
should be some authorized body that
would know what it is talking about.

There are few record votes being
made in the Senate these days upon
the various schedules of the tariff and
upon every vote which has been cast
thus far Senator La Toilette has in
variably voted with the consumers of
the country and for a lowering of
duties. Perhaps the most significant
vote which has thus far been taken
was that upon iron ore, when eighteen
Democrats, upon the plea that $.25
| duty was a revenue measure, voted
with Aldrich against putting this COM
modify upon the free list. The Demo-
Gratis who voted with him were: Bacon,
Bailey, Bankhead, Chamberlain, Clay,
Daniel, Fletcher, Foster, Frazier,
Johnston, Ala; Nc Emery, Martin,
Paynter, Simmons, Stone, Taliaferro,
Taylor, Tillman.
There were only "a votes cast
against the duty of SIS upon iron ore
and of these "a fourteen were Re-
publicans and were as follows: Beve-
ridge, Borah, Bristow, Brown, Bur-
kett, Clapp, Crawford, Cummins, Cur
tbs, Dolliver, du Pont, Gamble, La
Toilette, Nelson.
Had the Democrats stood up and
voted solidly for free iron ore there
were enough Republicans who voted
that way to have placed iron ore upon
the free list. 1t will be noted that Sem
ators Nelson and Clapp from the State
of Minnesota which produces 58.08 per
cent of the total iron ore production of
the country voted for free iron ore.
The fact is significant also in show
ing an almost solid lineup of the states
in the central west for the admission
of this article free of duty. The vote
is also significant in that next to the
Standard Oil control of oil, the trust
control of iron ore is absolutely estab-
