1T would be impossible in the
limits Of an interview to discuss
the bill,' said Senator Clapp.
Suffice it to say that it soon be-
came evident that the old issue be-
tween free trade and protection was
no longer an overshadowinQ one.
There is practically no free trade
sentiment and the force that domi-
mated the making and passage of
bill threw protection to the winds
whenever it served their purpose.
The insurgents were fighting for
a revision that would give rea-
sonable protection to all American
interests and voted along that line,
but the real purpose of those who
framed the bill and forced its pas
sage was not 50 much to enlarge
American activities or to secure
markets for American products as
to dominate the home market for
unreasonable profits. -

Gently made the trip over the route
and in some places found very
crude methods of road building had
been invoked. 1t is expected that
as result of the Dispatch Trophy
Tour a new system of road building
will be inaugurated, if not imme-
diately at least in time. At presr
ent the farmers who work out thei-
road tax discharge this obligation
in the easiest possible manner by
simply throwing loose sod into the
middle of the road and leaving
traffic to hammer it down-which,
of course, track refuses to do. The
ultimate object now is to put all
country road building under the
supervision of the State Highway
Commission so that farmers will be
obliged to work out their poll tax
with the best material at hand.
This would mean that sand and
gravel and crushed granite would
take the place of vegetable sod and
result in a fine system of roads in
Minnesota connecting with the
agricultural and business districts
of the Northwest.

Clspp and the Tariff Blll.

St. Paul, Aug. 10. Senator
Moses E. Clapp, of Minnesota. one
of the insurgents against the tariff
bill, in an interview tonight, after
his arrival from Washington, said
that the makers of the Payne tariff
bill reversed the policy of fair play
and competition and reasonable
protection to all American indus
tries and set about to frame bill
that would permit certain interests
to dominate the home market. It
was not a fulfillment Of the party's
promise, he said.

HAVE BEEN CONCEDlNC TOO
MUCH.

In spite of the contention of the
Willmar Tribune to the contrary.
we are still of the opinion that the
best way to remote good legislation
is to be fair. The editor of the
Tribune does not feel just right
because Congressman Volstead and
Senators Clapp and Nelson voted
against the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill. Wonder why ?-Willmar Re-
publican Gazette.
We know of no reason why we
should be particularly affected by
the Minnesota contingent repudiat-
ing the Payne bill by voting against
the same. We believe that the
most potent reason for this action
was the fact that Minnesota voters
have shown decided tendency to
be independent in the last few cleo.
tions. Knowing the outrageous
features of this new tariff law and
how the people of Minnesota feel
about it, the contingent from Min
nesota at Washington thot best to
vote against the work of their own
party so they could wash their
hands from participation in the in
fanny when the people call it to &C.
count. They were no doubt wise,
but where does their action leave
such abject party-tied sheets as the
Gazette? Does the Gazette indorse
the action of these men. and there
by condemn the Payne law, or does
it approve of the Payne law and
thereby condemn the senator's and
representatives from Minnesota who
voted against the law?
The Payne law was made up just
thru such fairness" as the Gazette
claims will best promote good leg
islation, but it proved such bad
legislation that some of those who
had been most fair" in the early
stages found themselves forced t.
repudiate the work entirely at the
end.
All legislation of the nature of
the tariff is more or less of the ma
turc of a compromise between the
interests of different sections of
the country. and those sections u.s.
ually fare the best who most un-
compromisingiv stick up for their
own interests. Minnesota has so
long continued to send men to con-
gress who apparently have been
more concerned about what would
benefit the East than what would
help the people of Minnesota. that
it is a refreshing to see some heed
paid to the interests of the latter,
if even only in a negative way.
Moral: If a little independent
voting is good, more independent
voting is better.

GLlDDEN TOUR
THRU WILLMAR
Fifty Autos will Compete for
Trophy. Purpose Of Tour 10
Secure Better Roads.

St. Paul, Aug. 17.-On August
27-3l the St. Paul Dispatch will
inaugurate the annual Little Gid.
den Run, to be known as the St.
Paul Dispatch Reliability Tour, for
automobiles. The purpose of the
tour will be to develop a wide in
terest in automobiling as outdoor
recreation, but primarily to in
crease interest in good roads thru
out the northwest, with special re-
ference to Minnesota and the i'm
mediate surrounding territory.
The tour this year will be from St.
Paul to Fargo and return, and for
the event three cups will be offered
as follows:
First. A large silver bowl by
the St. Paul Dispatch for the
winner on general points of excell-
ence.
Second. A cup by Col. Frank M.
Joyce, president of the Minnesota
State Automobile Association. for
the winner in the runabout class.
Third. A cup by H. S. Johnson,
chairman of the State Association
Contest Committee, for the winner
in the touring car class.
The Dispatch trophy will be COM
peted for annually, but the other
two cups will become the property
of the winners.
The run to Fargo has been laid
out as divided contest and pleas
ure tour. There will not be so
much of the contest element as to
interfere with the pleasure of the
trip, but at the same time there
will be sufficient strenuous work
on the road to make decision on
points close enough to be interest
ing.
The outgoing route will be from
St. Paul to Minneapolis, to St.
Cloud, to Alexandria, to Evansville,
to Sank Center, to Fergus Falls, to
Pelican Rapids, to Rollag, to Haw-
ley and in to Fargo, a distance of
173 miles. From Minneapolis to
Pelican Rapids the route is con-
tinuous succession of rolling beauty
spots, with unexpected groves
springing up along the drive way
on either side, and lakes, atfording
cool relief.
From Fargo the route will be
over an entirely different character
of country, the road running thru
prairie country over the entire 176
miles. 1t will 60 by Wahpeton to
Wheaton, and from that point cross
over to Herman, to Morris, to Ben
son, to Willmar, to Litchfeld, and
in to St. Paul.
Sunday, Aug. 29, will be spent
in Fargo, thus allowing two days
each way on the road. Alexandria
on the outgoing trip and Benson on
the returning trip will be the night
controls, while lunch on the out
ward trip will be taken at St.
Cloud and Fergus Falls, and return
ing at Wheaton and Litchfield. It
is expected that fifty cars will en-
ter representing total tourist
party of four hundred. All the
route, which covers twenty-six
towns going and thirty towns re-
turning, the main streets of the
towns will be decorated with flags
and at the dinner stops special en-
tertainment will be afforded, such
as band concerts, etc. At Fargo

Connect with Independents.
Wheaton has its new independent
telephone system in operation with
about $50 phones in the village.
On Monday all of the farmers
lines leading into Wheaton were
disconnected from the Minnesota
Central and connected with the
switch board of the independent
company. This was done despite
the fact that the Minnesota Central
had an exclusive contract with the
farmers lines. But as all well in
formed lawyers hold that such ex-
elusive contracts will not hold in
court. the farmers are not losing
any sleep over the matter.-Inter-

Mayor Of Appleton at Green Lake.

Mayor Of Appleton at Green Lake.
Mr.. and Mrs. 7. J. McElligott
and sons Edmund and William re-
turned to Appleton Friday after
having spent week at Green Lake
with Superintendent and Mrs. P.
c.. Tonning. MIR. McElligott is the
mayor of Appleton, and incidental
ly he is the man whose machine was
arrested for stirring up the dust on
Washington avenue in Minneapolis
while going at rate of 40 miles an
hour. That is, it got in the papers
that way. The mayor entered a
denial to each and every point in
the allegation, and as he also furn-
ished an acceptable alibi it appears
that the cops in question must
either have been suffering with
myopia at the time they espied the
scorcher, or that they had tilted
the lid too much. At any rate, the
mayor. said that on that day in
question his car was fast asleep in
it's own little garage-bed in Apple
ton, while he himself was enter
tanning visitors at home.
On behalf of his car, the mayor
stated that the fantastic picture of
it given by Homer Sigler Of the
Appleton Press and reproduced in

slanderous and without foundation
in fact. Sigler had first-hand
knowledge Of the machines capa-

ent a comparison of rates in the
new law with the Dingley rates.
On the whole the final bill il SUBJ
stantially as analysed for our read
ers two weeks ago. We don't feel
warranted in presenting another
detailed analysis. The revised ia
bles show that the final bill re-eu-
acts the Dingley rates applicable to
$40 per cent of the total of duti-
able imports and producing 7O.37
per cent of the total revenue. On
l5.45 per cent of the imports pro-
ducing 20.8l per cent of revenue,
the rates are increased on the aver
age 81 per cent. On 1866 per cent
of the imports producing but 1913
per cent of the revenue, the rates
were reduced an average of % per
cent. Out of IA schedules. 6 show
increases from a fraction of one per
cent to rs per cent over the Dingley
rates for those schedules; Z show
decreases ranging up to 14.49 per
cent. On three of these schedules
the average reduction is less than
one-half of one per cent. On the
sugar schedule the average reduc-
tion amounts to one-fiftieth of one
per cent.
On the whole, the bill shows on
its face a slight increase over the
Dingley rates. The imports which
in 1907 under the Dingley law pro-
duced $275, TAI, sos for revenue
would under the rates in the new
law be taxed $279, 929,98 While
the increases apparent upon the
face of the bill amount to less than
two per cent, these are greatly en-
HANGED by increases by re-classifica-
ton, new definitions, and new pro-
visions relative to valuation and
other Aldrich articles.
An analysis of the re-classifica-
ton in the bill, made on the re-
quest of Senator La Toilette, by the
tariff experts of the Department of
Commerce and Labor, shows hun
dreds of increases made by re-class-
itications alone. There are no sta
tistics of imports by which the i'm
portance of these increases can be
measured. But they are large and
apply to hundreds of articles of
general use. This analysis is being
printed in detail as a senate docu-
ment.
There may have been honest
doubt in the minds of well-meaning
members of both houses, in the face
of Misrepresentation such as the
Payne document, above referred
to that the conference report
was not revision down
ward. Some members of both
Houses who favored an honest revi-
sion of the tariff but who had not
made careful analysis of the
schedules may have come to believe
that the adjustment OF tariff rates
embodied in the new law was bet
ter than in the existing law. They
may have concluded that this was
the "best bill" that it was possible
to get under the circumstances. "
But the chief circumstances in
the case are the Aldrich- Cannon
domination of Congress. And the
way to get legislation that will
meet the demands of the people is
to get rid of these "circumstan-
ces" and the way to do that is to
vote against and, if possible. defeat
their legislation, and d,scredit them
before the country, and to discred-
it and defeat the members in either
House of Congress who aid in sup
porting and perpetuating Aldrich-
ism and Cannonism. LA Follette's

Now, of course, the art busi- ness, including under this the dealers rather than the painters. is not above suspicion. A pure art" law would cause great ripping up of dishonest labels. But at that most of the works falsely attributed to the old painters are themselves old. The number of pseudo-Rembrandts painted within the last twenty years is, we imagine, far from large. Suspicion of tariff frauds from this quarter is not ser ious.
 Art is tender and the tariff is in eyitaJly tough. A tender tariff ad> ministration would only serve to heighten what abuses the tariff law itself contains. But if ever there was a place where a little lessening of the strictness of the regulations seemed justified it is in connection

But few people are aware of the fact that Postmaster General Hischcock was formerly one of the leading ath- letes of the United States and is even now rated as one of the cleverest anna teur boxers in the country. T<3s, how ever, Is the case.
 Although many admired his stal. wart proportions when he visited Bis. bee, hardly one in the crows which greeted him knew of his former and present prowess in the field of ath. letics.
 During the time that he attended Harvard University, before entering the Columbia Law School, General Hitchcock was member of the var. sity eleven and prominent ia track meets where his strength and skin scored many points for his college. He went in for boxing as he has gone in for his office and the result was that he was and is one of the best amateur boxers in the country.

 The American corps of Red Cross doctors and nurses was one of the first to arrive at Messina following the terrible disturbance of nature and for weeks the members labored amid the ruins of the once stately and pros porous city( aleviating the suffering of the miserable survivors who had not left.
 The terror of the scenes encoun- tered by Miss Noir, is like a night mare, which it will take long to ef- face, she declares to her friends. She will remain in Bisbee for several weeks with her sister
