SUPERIOR CLUB
RETURNS VISIT
Commercial Club Does Itself Proud
in Entertaining Boosters from
the Lake City

Had the weather been less inclement
the Ladysmith Commercial Club would
undoubtedly have been taxed to their
utmost capacity in entertaining the
crowd which would have come with the
delegation of Superior Boosters Tues
dav. When the Ladysmith Boosters
visited Superior a month ago, the
hosts of that occasion promised to re-
turn the visit. Last week Wednesday
the officers of the Commercial Club
were notified that they were coming
this week Wednesday. The time was
short and the exact number which they
would be expected to entertain could
not be learned. However the directors
got busy and their efforts were crown
ed with great success.
The time was further shortened by
the Superior Club deciding to make
their visit day earlier. The blizzard
which prevailed over the northwest
Tuesday threatened annihilation to the
project, but forty-fiv4 from Superior
braved the storm and arrived here on
the Wisconsin Central at 10:40 a. m.
The Cornet Band had been engaged to
meet them at the train, but it was too
stormy for them to get out. The
guests were escorted to the Jung
building, which was headquarters.
From there they were assigned for
lodging to the Baker and Gerard
hotels.
Although the storm continued all day
most of the company visited the mills
of the Menasha Paper Co. and Wooden
Ware Co. during the afternoon.

Dingley rates. If this be true, then of course if high tariff brought the panic of 1907 it is reasonable to sup pose that a higher tariff will bring an- other. The title of the Aldrich bill is to accomplish three distinct things. The first is to increase the government revenue. to get more money for the government. This cannot be done un- less the goods are brought in and the duty paid on them. The second is to protect the workingmen against the pauper labor made goods Now, if the goods are brought fin and the gov- ernment gets the duty, the money. then the first thing has been accom- plished, viz, the revenue. Now, how about the second. The goods are here. the government has its revenue, and these goods come in competition with the goods made by the American workingman. Will some one point out where and how his protection comes in? If the goods do not come in, "our" workingman will have to supply the same quantity as was kept out by the high tariff. This will be just so much extra over and above what he would have made, if the foreign goods had come in and the government had received the revenue. The government getting revenue on imported goods, and protecting CD "our'' workingmen against pauper labor made goods is like trying to ride two horses at the same time, each going in "a different direction. It is very doubtful if it can be done without a split, and that is what it looks like now, in the senate. The third thing Is to guarantee to the manufacturers "a reasonable profit on the capital invested" Some people are so uncharitable as to call this 'pa- ternalism." This is what we call the baby act" The pretense is made that this is all done for the protection of the needy wage earner." The baby act" consists in taking care of the Industries" of the greatest na- ton on the face of the earth" Only think of it. A giant afraid of a "bogy man" lid away somewhere, waylaying, to bounce on this great giant" Con- slider the a'bsurdity of the idea of pro- tecting the workingmen from competi- tion with the "pauper labor made goods of the "bogy man." and then for these same protected manufacturers to send shiploads of these protected goods' over to the "bogy man." and sell them to the 'pauper labor of Yur- rup," for less than they are sold for here. Just sit down and think over that proposition for few moments, and then say it is not a i'fbaby act" A Title further, if you please. If 1t. be true, that the tariff Is to keep out goods that are cheaper Gin price) than our own goods, how can we expect to sell our goods to them for less than they can buy their own goods for? Just think it over. Is not the main object, then. to secure" by law. "a reason able profit" for the manufacturer, re- gardless of the needy bread winner?" Gentlemen. there is "a cat' under the tariff meal"

NO GROUNDS FOR FEAR.

The Bulletin has received from sev- eral readers reprints. of the sensational story about the man with pistol who was looking for Taft while here on the 9th, with requests to print. The Bulletin knows the whole story, and all the persons concerned except the stranger with the pistol in his inside coat pocket
 The Bulletin does not believe there was any one in Norwich on July 5th who contemplated assaulting the pres ident. It was natural that men should have weapons with them on that day, and this stranger who created such a furore with his pistol was right in front of the grand stand at Chelsea parade, and had an opportunity to have used it fatally had that been his purpose. As he made no attempt to use it, there is no reason to suspect that he had the heart and purpose of an assassin.
 As the secret service men carry their revolvers as this man is said to have carried his. it is quite likely that at was one of the presidents protectors instead of an enemy who was the cause of the report.

GOING AT THE RATE OF 100 A DAY

Tn his address at Washington on Saturday at the unveiling of memo rial to pr. Benjamin Franklin Ste phenson, the founder of the Grand Army of the Republic, President Taft had some nice things to say of the veterans of the civil war, whose ranks are being depleted at the rate of 100 a day at the present time. These quotations from his address will in- terest the veterans in this vicinity:
 When men at the formative period In life-from IS to 22-are associated in any work, whether it be in college, society, church, or otherwise, they carry with them afterward the fond est memories and associations, be- cause they have passed through com mon mould. But how much greater must be the bond of union between men who for four years passed through the dangers of the Civil war; those who survived thinking of the tender memories of those who gave up their lives, and carrying with them the sweet associations and the stories of courage. can conceive no bond stronger than that which united the men who fought in the Grand Army, and it was to the credit of the founder of the Grand Army of the Republic that he saw the solid basis upon which such a structure could be erected.
 
 "The Grand Army of the Republic Is most useful in this: Representing the men who fought in the Civil war, 1t can authoritatively teach forgetful- ness of the bitterness which existed during the war, and I am glad to say that while that bitterness may in a few instances obtain, you will never find it to exist between the men who actually exposed their lives. The union of the two sections has been moulded strong iy by meetings between the blue and the gray which ought to occur as often as possible"

 "The travelling man who wears a button of this order finds that in the west the status of the members is very much higher than in some sections of the east. The western fellows are re- cruited from the ranks of professional men easier than here. The number of sports is not so pronounced there. either. They pay more attention to the fraternal end of the organization and they use their beautiful homes more as clubrooms than as cafes, and this is not the case in some of the larger eastern cities.'-Newark News.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Revision of'the Tariff.

MT. Editor:-The old song goes something like this:
 "Of all the mighty nations. in the east
 or in the west,
 This glorious Yankee nation is the
 greatest and the best.
 We have for all creation and our ban T1er is unfurled,
 Here's a general invitation to the peo- pie of the world.
 Then come along, come along. make no delay,
 Come from every nation, come from every way.
 Our lands they are broad enough and
 don't you be alarmed,
 For Uncle Sam is rich enough to give
 us all a farm"
 When you stop and think of 1t for a little while it seems strange that our congressman should spend so much time playing the baby aot. Yes, 1t is true this is the greatest nation on earth, but as for being the best, there might be a difference of opinion as to the meaning of best, and for whom 1t is the best. Give the. people, the wealth producers, an opportunity, and they can feed and clothe the world Congress is now and has been for a number of weeks discussing the tariff the baby act Tn proper language they are laboring to revise the tariff. What tariff are they trying to revise? Why, the Dingley tariff, of course; what other tariff have we? What is the the country such prosperity for the past ten years that it is necessary to revise it? Are the rates too high? If so, why not reduce them? Are they too low2 If so, why not increase them? If they are just right then leave 1t alone and not waste any time over 1t. According to the best evidence pro- dueed so far it was the opinion of both parties that the tariff should be re- vised downward. The republican party in their platform declared it should be revised. The democratic platform de- clared for a revision. MT. Taft in his speeches said 1t should be revised downwards mostly. The democratic platform declared that certain things should come in free of duty. When the vote took place on those certain article which they said should come in free IS of the democratic senators voted with Senator Aldrich. It is said Wise men change their minds, but fools never do. There is one question I would like to have some one answer. and that is who first discov- cred that the Dingley tariff needed re- vising? Who said the rates were too HlgH or LOO LOW! some one must nave shouted 'F'irel" and rung in an alarm. Who is responsible for this false alarm? Almost everybody that knows nothing about tariff has praised the Dingley tariff for doing good work and produc- ing prosperity for everybody. Why, then should such fuss be made over 1t at this time? It is true some people Every wise CD people, have an idea that the little furry of "cold chills' in October, 1907. was caused by the Ding ley tariff. Those people have another guess coming. The Dingley tariff had TO more to do with it than the devil has to do with holy water. But sup pose it did have a tendency to cause the panic, it must have been because the tariff rates were too high.
 This must be because both parties so declared. It is now prophesied that If the Aldrich bill becomes law the rates will be higher than the present

"who Wouldn't Be an Elka"

When I see notices of the starting away of those Hello. Bill' fellows for their annual sessions,'' said the travel ing man, T wonder how in the world they dare plan such splendid excur- sions as they do. No place on the map is too remote for the Elks to se- lect as a meeting place. I've run across these jolly fellows on the road many times and the meals they can eat and the tips they pass around fill my soul with envy. I recall last fall seeing four of them pay a check for $16 on a diner, and the one who paid gave the waiter $2 tip. The con- ductor of the car, who had given the four his personal attention, could not hide a look of disappointment when the waiter got it all, but sunshine came when one of the excursionists called him to the table, produced a s10 bill, and asked him if he could change it.
 Now, that put the conductor in trying position. If the waiter had been asked the same thing he would have quickly returned with two fives-but the conductors training in the ac- quiring of tips was less acute. He pulled ten ones off roll and passed them over to the one desiring the change. The Elk counted them over
