There is much strenuousness in
newspaper circles in WATERFOWL, and
when somebody associated with any
one Of the papers up there is not in
trouble it is a cold day. One libel
suit has been barely settled until an
other springs up to keep up the rec-
ord. This time it is Mrs. G.. H. East
wood, who presides over the destiny
of the Herald. She published a report
of an alleged horsewhipping which A.
Sherin, an attorney, received at the
hands of an irate woman, and now
Sherin is sueing Mrs. Eastowod for
criminal libel. Sherin was formerly
the editor of the Watertown Times
Under those circumstances he ought
to have more sympathy for the news
paper business than. to start a suit
on those grounds.

WOODEN PRICES GOING UP.

1t is something of a staggering
blow to the American people to find
that woolens are on the ascendency
in price, resulting from the usual
combination effects. Through the eff
forts of the senate the mills feel that
they can now go ahead safely to fix
their W prices in this commodity,
and the recent consolidation ind:-
Gates what the future holds for the
users of wooden goods. The Chicago
Tribune makes the following ccnl-
ment on the consolidation which re-
Gently went into effect among to
eastern mills:
Twenty-seven wooden mills, all bu'
one of them in New England, were
consolidated to form the American
Wooden company, with a capitaliza-
ton Of $75,000,O 900. 1t is the control
ling force Of the great industry.
! When it lays down the law as to the
price of wooden cloths the clothing
manufacturers have to accept the
terms. 1t has sent out notice of an
advance in prices Of from IL 1-2 to
rs per cent on those of a year ago.
1t explains in its circular that it
would be hopeless to attempt to fight
an advance which is necessitated by
the increased price in wool. All

1t will take two years for the state
which have biennial sessions of the
legislature before they can vote on
the federal income tax amendment.
According to this at least half Of the

There are not many states willing to

on the amendment for fear that some
vicious legislation. might be worked
through.

THROWS DOWN PLATFORM.

THROWS DOWN PIAATFOiiN:.
The tariff legislation in the senate
has made some difference vita ,ne
declarations of the national oeMo-
cratic platform, which William j.
Bryan has been called upon to accent.
The attitude OF Senator Bailey, or
Texas, has caused the whole de4alge-
ment of the system of free llade
when he insisted on the taxing O. raw
materials. 1t appeals loo mucn 10 he
policy of protection To suit the lasas
of Mr.. Bryan, and set forth Il. me
democratic platform. Con- nentils on
the tariff which has come up between
the two leaders of democracy, the
New York Tribune says:
st was inevitable that MI. L.yan
should take up the challenges witch
have been issued broadcast by ST.
atcr, Joseph w. Bailey. Mr.. Baiis )
has fatty repudiated the Denver ma
tional platform drawn by Mr. bryan,
and substituted for its tariff deciara-
tions some views of his own about
the ACCESSIBILITY of taxing raw mater
ials. The Texas senator has preached
his taxable raw materials doctrine
with FEASIBILITY and success. He has
Won over to it about half the demo
Gratis in the senate. He says that he
is building for the future, and that
the future will leave out of account
democratic leaders who still cling to
that raw materials ought to be free.
MIR. Bryan is forced by consistency
and by a sense of his duty as a party
leader to rabuke such contumacy. He
has written a long editorial in The
Commoner" to prove that Mr.. Bailey
is a platform jumper and an assist
ant protectionist. He says:
IF the doctrine announced by
Senator Bailey becomes the doctrine
of the democratic party, the party
might as we'll abandon it's opposition
to a protective policy. First, if SEN
ators and members cannot be bound
by platforms, then there is no hope of
resisting the influence that the pro-
tected interests bring to bear upon
the public officials. Second, if, instead
of lessening the number of those
benefits by protection, we are to in
crease the number by extending pro
lection to all industries, we will find
it next to impossible to make head
way in the direction Of tariff reform
for those who derive a pecuniary
benefit from the tariff even though
that benefit be inridental--will be
active opponents Of any reduction
while the public, feeling only a gener-
al interest, will be unable to cope
with the special interest,""
"The reproof is moderate. Mr.
Bryan no doubt realizes that Mr.
Bailey's attitude is popular in many
southern states, which are eager IL
enjoy protection on raw L a~tcrials
yet he makes it clear that in his on.n-
ion there is not room in the democrat.
ic party for both his tariff ideas and
Mr.. Bailey's. The irreconciialle con
flict is on. Its progress may show that
there is also no room in the democrat.

nounced as MI. Bryan and Mr.. Bail.

revenue on tobacco yields the gov
eminent about eighty millions a year,
while the tariff on tobacco in Great
Britain fully three hundred millions
are paid into the treasury of that
country. Not alone on tobacco could
the tariff be raised but on other com
modities that are equal in the way of
1i,v,tries.

sNo Vote, No Marry" clubs are be-
ing formed in all parts of the coun-
tr at the present time, and which
got their inception from the suffragist
movement. These clubs are being
formed among the young ladies who
clerk in stores and work in other vo-
cations, and they seem to feel that
they must have the ballot rather than
the husband-the question seeming
not to enter their minds as to which
will be the most serviceable or the
most beneficial. 1t is quite a stand
for the young women to take, and
how long they will maintain their
position is a question for the future
to decide. When Cupid ONE and
knocks violently at the door of the
young woman's heart we fear that
without further consideration she will
lopen the door and bid him enter. The
privilege of having a husband who
will provide a home for all time, and
the privilege of casting the ballot
once a year for town officers, nee in
two years for governor and state tick
ct and once in four years for president
will have to be weighed together and
the best Of the two chosen. Perhaps
the possibility of holding a political
Office may be more alluring than eth
er of the other privileges and may
stand as the strongest barrier to the
cultivation of the home life. 1t is
through some such movement as this
if it holds out to the end, that will
give woman the ballot

WOODEN manufacturers do not dare to
break their contract with the Ameri-
can wool growers, a contract which
provides excessive duties for both
parties. They have had their quarrels
in the past but for several years
they have worked together harmon
iously for the expectation Of the con-
sumers.
The impending advance in the
price of clothing will not be due to
the tariff legislation Of this session,
which will be a reenactment of ex-
listing legislation. But it will be i'm
possible to make believe
it. When they see the enactment Of a
new law followed by an advance in
the price of clothing, they Will be i'm
possible to argue them out of their
belief, there will be political trouble.
The Yankton Herald does not take
very kindly to the fact that Geo. w.
Egan is being groomed as a candi-
date for the nomination of governor
on the republican ticket. The Herald
states that at a gathering OF some
kind in the southern part of the
state, Egan permitted himself to be
introduced to the. audience as ''the
next governor Of South Dakota and
the successor of Senator Crawford.
The Herald adds that it would have
been just as easy to introduce Egan
as the next president of the United
States and he would have accepted
the same without the least tremor Of
excitement. The Herald holds that
Egan does not belong to either wing
of the republican party and that to
secure his nomination he will have
to start an Egan republican party and
make his campaign on that basis
alone. From the notices that Egan
CLIPS into the American Republic,
which D he is editing for his per-
sonal y%indication, it is evident that
he is taking his candidacy seriously
an dthat when the primary season
comes around that he will be in the
field ready to do battle for the NOM
ination. We doubbt very much if the
entire state can be swept by a mere
matter Of sympathy as is the case in
Sioux Falls and Minnehaha county,
and can be cajoled into giving him
the nomination. 1t is all right to work

Men who want to prospect for min
erals on the public lands OF Texas
must pay s25 an acre for the privilege
AS much of the land is practically
valueless, unless it contains hidden
treasure, this tax seems high to some
men who would like to try their luck
at digging. The last Legislature pass
ed a liberal mining law, but Governor
Campbell vetoed it, and p~rospectors
still fight shy OF land which is believ-
ed to contain valuable minerals. The
lei Paso Tines, noting the success
of mining operations in Mexico, says
that 1.-THE mining laws of the United
States are said to lack much of liber-
atty when compared with those of
Mexico, but are wonderfully liberal

The West Church of Oneida Lake.
near Canastota, N. Y, has become q
bone of contention between two
church denominations. The trouble
arose over a question of ownership
of the building. While the church was
established by the Congregationalists,
members of the Presbyterian denon-
nation have attended services there
and have been generous in the matter
of financial support. Syracuse Pres
byterians also helped the church.
Finally the Presbyterians laid claim
to the property on the ground that
they had kept it up. Relations became
SO strained that it was decided to sub
nit the issues to a jury and court

III. Elmer Russell, pastor of the Pres
