CONFIDENCE RESTORED

The tariff bill as revised by the con-
ference committees of house and senate
was voted upon in the senate 2;10 o'clock
last Thursday afternoon and passed by
a vote of AZ yeas and 81 nays, receiving
all the Republican votes except those
of Senators Bristow, Clapp Cummins,
Dolliver, La Toilette, Beveridge and
Nelson. The concurrent resolution re-
ducing the rate on the leather schedule
was then presented and it was unani-
mously adopted The house also adopt
ed the resolution The bill was ut once
presented to the President and received
his signature.
This settles the whole question of
schedules and ad valorums for a time, and
now we can all get down to business
and push as hard as possible for our
selves and the other fellow SO we may
all get some good out of the protection
that has been given to the industries of
the nation that they may thrive and
increase both in output and prosperity.
There is nothing now to prevent bust
ness from resuming its wonted vim and
vigor as there are no longer any uncer-
tainties as to what duties must be paid
upon raw materials that enter into our
manufactures or the amount of protec,
ton we receive upon our manufactured
products. The clouds have rolled away
and all doubts are set at rest, and money
which has for months been tied up can
now be brought forth from its hiding
place and employed in business, and
there can be no doubt but within a
months time the commercial world will
have resumed its former pace and &C.
tivity in all lines of business become
noticeable.
For months the captains of the finan,
cial, business and industrial world have
proclaimed that nothing stood in the
way of a great business revival except
the uncertainty about crops and the agi.
tation over the tariff. The crops are now
assured and, with the exception of cot.
ton, are bumper size, and even cotton
is not discouraging. Congress has dis
posed of the tariff bill and its enactment
removes an element of uncertainty from
many business ventures. There is no
apparent reason now why any industry
or business should halt. The railroads
are assured of heavy tonnage, the farm
ers of good prices for their produce and
the manufacturer of home market for
his wares There is ample money in
sight to carry on the nations business
and disposition among its holders to
finance any promising project.
Business in all lines has made good
start toward recovery from the check of
1907, and the west, particularly has
struck its industrial pace. That the
east may be counted on to keep step is
shown by the large sums being put into
extensions of established manufacturing
plants and the erection of new ones, the
textile and steel industries being notable
examples. Prices of industrial and rail
road stocks also reflect the confidence OF
investors.
The west, as the pioneer in trade re,
vival, reasonably expects to get its full
share and possibly a little bit more-ir
fact has large consignment of prospect
ty already put away.

Danes Petition Our Uncle Sam

Zorn Jensen of this city has in charge
the local work of nationwide move
ment among Danish Americans looking
to reduction of the postage rates be-
tween the United States and their
mother country across the seas. The
Danish people feel that they are entitled
to the same privilege which the United
States has recently secured for its adopt
ed sons from Germany and England and
the petition now being circulated is one
asking the United States government to
attempt the arrangement of such pos
tai agreement with Denmark. There are
"a great many Danish people in this
community and the country just north
and it is unnecessary to say that the
petition is being readily signed by them.

Band last Saturday evening was not as
good as the one given the week before.
the members for some reason not being
able to keep together or to sound their
notes properly, causing noticeable dis
cord in some of the selections. But it
would be expecting too much from the
Nand to look for frst-class music in so
short a time, and we must all be chart
taSle in our Judgment and criticism Of
music furnished us until the boys have
had time to attain greater degree OF
proficiency. Two new selections were
added to the number both OF which
were rendered in good shape, consider
ing the time the band has had to prepare
them for the public.

BLEACHED FLOUR LIBELED
Consignment of Flour Sent to Indus
trial School Seized

That Secretary Wilson of the depart
ment of agriculture is determined to
suppress the manufacture and sale of
"bleached flour" is demonstrated by
the action taken by District Attorney
Temple, acting upon orders from the
attorney general of the United States,
who on Monday filed libel charges
against $50 sacks of the -four in ques-
ton which had been delivered at the
Mitchelville school for girls last week,
the whole consignment being seized by
a deputy United States marshal.
This is the first move of Secretary
Wilson, of the department of agricul-
ture, to test his "bleached -four order
