n. D. POLITICAL GOSSIP

Williston state: There will be little
opposition to Hon. l. B. Hanna for
congress. His ability and Character
are so well recognized by the people
that there will be generous approval of
his first work in congress on every
hand. He is a man OF such integrity,
personal and political, that the public
is proud to have such man in con-
gress. The writer has been a close
observer OF men and political events
for two decades, and has seen many a
man rise quickly to the leadership for
which he was naturally fitted--for no
man can reach and hold leadership
unless il is by ability and worth. And
The State desires to go on record now
in It's prediction that /. B. Hanna will
become the great moving force in
northwestern politics. 1t will be be-
cause he will follow the example of the
great Buckeye, Of the same name and
family. Marcus A. Hanna, and apply
business principles to that which he
does. His spoken word, as good as any
bond, will inspire men with such con-
fidence that they will follow him inn
plicitly in all that he will be able to do
for the Northwest. And he can be-
come a great asset for North Dakota.
This newspaper was the first in the
United States to keep constantly pre-
dieting that John A. johnson would be-
come the democracy's solution of the
presidential problem. The time that
followed verified this view. Had the
great governor of Minnesota lived he
would have become the leader OF his
party. AS an independent newspaper
we are going to render justice where IT
is due and go on record as saying that
Mr.. Hanna will become conspicuous as
his states benefactor

lumber instead of the 90 per cent
reduction. The inheritance tax
features will also be strongly OPP
posed, which again brings to mind
the contention Tom Reed always
made, that an ideal tariff law only
existed in your mind, but an tual
workable law as only such COM
promise as would be agreed upon by
the many conflicting interests and
one that would be fairly satisfactory
to the entire country. Sentiment in
each state is naturally colored by the
effect the schedules will have upon
the particular interests and industries
there represented. We would all
like to have law 50 framed as to
work to the advancement and prosperity
Of ourselves and our own state and
then do as we'll as possible for the
other fellows.
If this bill, just as it stands, could
become law, it strikes US it should
be quite satisfactory to the country at
large.
We know that the steel interests
ale ia a position to take care of them
selves pretty we'll under reduced
rate of duty-the steel trust abundant
ly so. and the independent steel
manufacturers would probably not be
hurt much 1t would be to the in
terests of our own vanishing forests
if a portion of our lumber came from
across our borders. However a tariff
that will protect homegrown wool
and other products of the farm is
certainly an advantage.
The proposition to place duty on
coffee in order to get the revenue
therefrom, but which was not made
a portion OF the bill, appears to have
been wisely left out. Anticipating
such a move vast quantities of coffee
were ready for immediate shipment
into this country before the law
could have gone into effect, 50 that
the market would have been stocked
for at least year or two ahead and
we would have lost the expected
revenue, while on the other hand the
price would have greatly advanced
and the money havs gone in the way
of enormous profits into the pockets of
the spectators.

upon. and activities can reach out
toward their old.ti volume
On two other points in the
inaugural, the injunction and the
boycott, the country will have large
interest. During the campaign Mr.
Gompers and other enemies of the
Republican party charged what Mr..
Taft was the father of the injunc
tion,' because he enforced it vigor-
ously in several instances while on
the bench. He enforced it, however,
against employers as we'll as against
workers, against capital as we'll as
against labor. In his present
enunciation of policies he condemns
the attempt to take away from the
federal courts the power of injunc
ton. He condemns likewise the
proposition which denies that man s
business is a property right, and
which would withhold from it the
protection of the injunction. But he
believes that the writ is sometimes
abused, and he would have a carefully
drawn statute denfning its scope. On
the kindred issue of the boycott he is
equally out spoken,' and equally
sound. He calls the boycott IAN in
strument of tyranny" and says that
it ought not to be made legitimate !"
The reference there is to the attempt
of some of the labor union leaders to
amend the Sherman law in such
way that it would place no interdict
upon their mode OF warfare during
strikes. The boycott is forbidden in
express terms by the laws of many
states. and other states prohibit it in
general terms. In the case of the
Bucks Stove and Range Company of
ST. Louis against the American
Federation of Labor the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia
declared the boycott to be unlawful.
In the Danbury hat case the Supreme
Court of the United States pointed
out that boycott of interstate COM
merce was a crime under the Sherman
anti trust act, and that it was also a
crime under the common law. On
this as on most of the other questions
dealt with in his inaugural, Mr.. Taft
has a large majority of the Ameri-
can people with him. st. Louis Globe

You All Know the Kicker.

1t is the glorious privilege of every
man says an exchange to kick when
he feels like it, He kicks about the
government, the towns, the churches.
the schools, the teachers, or anything
be likes. 1t is his privilege, we re-
peat, to 10 this. It is one of his con-
stitutlonal rights-the blessing Of
liberty which no one can deny him.
You have a right to stand around like
a chilly cadaver and kick on the
weather or the preacher-in fact, you
can kick yourself if you feel that
way, but is poor way to do and the
man who persists in it will have but
few friends in a short time. The
minister who is forever holding his
members over the bottomless pit will
soon go begging for congregation
The newspaper that contains nothing
but grievances and tales of woe will
soon go out of business. The doctor
who tells his patient he is dying has
already lost his case. And so it goes
on through the list. We all have
troubles of our own, and have no
time to, devote to those of other
people. The doctor must have hopes
of curing mis- patient, the preacher
must believe his congregation will be
saved, the newspaper must print good
news and the individual must speak
we'll of his town, his church, his
neighbor and his competitor. There
is no longer room for the chronic
kicker, By this is not meant a critic,
one who is able to point out the good
as we'll as the bad. but the old
timer rooster, knocker, loafer, crank.
pessimistic kicker. 1t is he who is
"a deteriment to community,
bore to his fellowmen and a nuisance
TO everyone with whom he comes in
contact. And the last end of him
is worse than the first.

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.

Now that the tariff bill has been
reported out of the hands of the COM
mittee and is under consideration by
the congress, the assault upon its
various provisions will begin. We

shows that coffee, iron ore. hides

amount of tobacco and sugar from the

the free list, lumber and steel are
cut 80 per cent boots. shoes and other
leather manufacters cut about 40 per
cent, while there are increases in the
duty on tea, lemons, etc. The general
trend is a downward revision of
duties. Senator Hale, of Name, an

PRESIDENT TAFT'S POLICIES.

1t is large programme, in variety
as we'll as in volume, which Presi
dent Taft announces for his
administration. As was expected, he
pays tribute to his predecessor, and
declares he will maintain and enforce
his predecessors reforms. But he
also names many other measures
which he will endeavor to place upon
the statute book. Some of these-as
the amendment of the Sherman anti
trust act, a graduated inheritance tax,
statute giving the president power
to enforce treaty rights of aliens when
assaulted by state legislation, as in the
California japanese case, mail sub
sides fol- ocean steamers, a general
undermining of our banking and
monetary laws, a POSTAL savings bank,
and expansion of the army and navy
were urged by Mr.. Roosevelt and
favored by Mr.. Taft while in the
Roosevelt cabinet. Other measures
which he advocates are new. The
most important of these is an intima-
tion that the appointment of negroes
to local Offices in communities which
object to them will be less frequent
under Mr.. Taft than they were under
Mr.. Roosevelt. But there is no hint
at any withdrawal of the protection
for the neg1u in the exercise IF the
privileges as a citizen which are
guai anteed to MIN by the laws. For
the next four years, as for the past
forty years, the Republican admin,
istration will refuse to set up race or
caste lines among the country s
citizens
Naturally, the necessity for tariff
revision holds an important place in
Mr.. Taft's inaugural This will be
the first piece of legislation which
will confront him. When. under his
call. the Sixty-f Congress meets
next Monday to prepare to
bring the tariff down to date, the
serious work of mis- administration
will begin. This will be far larger
task than that with which Mr.. Nc
Klnley dealt at the outset in his
presidency. In adjusting the schedules
in 1909 revenue as well as protection
will have to be kept in mind The
second of these demands is all that the
law makers in 1897 were compelled to
concern themselves with. There was
a treasury decfiit then also, but 1t
was only about a seventh as great as
it is now. In the fiscal year 1897 the
governments income was $16, 600. 900
below its outgo. The shortage will be
about $3.50, 600, 600 in 1909. Thus the
Republican Congress will have a far
more difficult task upon its hands now
than it had twelve years ago There
is an especially urgent necessity,
moreover, of doing this work as
speedily as intelligent deliberation
will permit. Mr.. Taft sees clearly
that there can not be any material
revival in business confidence until
as to the precise shape which the new
schedule will take. He believes that
the changes in conditions in the past
dozen years will warrant a reduction
in most of the rates of duty which
are altered at all. In some instances
these reductions will increase the
revenues. But he wants the changes,
whatever they are to be. made just as
soon as is practicable, so that trade
will have something definite to build

The reelection of Uncle joe
Cannon last week for his fourth term
as speaker of the house of representa-
tives at Washington was not unexpect
ed. The 'insurgent' vote, which
consisted of the almost solid demo
cratic strength aided by21 republicans,
including eight from Wisconsin, with
Kopp, from this district in the list,
gave the speaker something of chase
for the Office. however, he winning
out by a vote of I'll to 172 Champ
Clark of Missouri was the democratic
candidate. The Wisconsin votes were
cast for Congressman Cooper, of this
state. The House refused by a vote
of 1913 to 1S9 to adopt the old rules,
which is distinct victory for the
insurgent'' members and will aid
in making the house of representatives
more truly representative than It has
been in many years.

Mr.. Taft is undoubtedly correct in
saying, as he did in a recent inter
view, that tariff revision is now the
only obstruction which lies in the
path of the complete restoration of
business confidence. The tariff is a
disturbing factor in the situation be-
cause of the uncertainty as to what
duties will be changed, and how far
the changes will 60 The President
and congress want Republican revi-
sion, which will leave a sufficient
margin of protection to all important
industries which need any protection,
but which will not leave the duties
high enough on any articles to allow
them to erect themselves into
monopolies, and thus to Cypress the
smaller podncers and the consumers.
The object will be to make the
protection equitable as we'll as ample.

congress by President Taft, although
dealing with the important subject of
tariff revision, was the shortest ever
sent TO that body, making less than
one-half column of ordinary news

LUNCH MAN LEONARD l WANTS ODDS OF 3 ITO | ON HENRY LEE

A wild report escaped yesterday that U. J. Leonard the lunch man with a wagon at the foot of Fairfield avenue In Water street had $500 that he want ed to rlace on the election of Henry Lee. Since this announcement was made dozens of men with little sport ing blood in their veins have been haunting that lunch wagon but they were unable to find MT. Leonard or get a sight of his bank roll.
 A Farmer reporter connected with MT. Leonard by telephone at his home in Bunnell street today.
 T understand you have got some money to bet on Henry Lee against the election of Buckingham. saId the re- porter.
 ''Who said so?" asked MT. Leonard.
 He was informed that it was so ru- mored and that he was the most talk ed of man in the city because he had the nerve to take a chance with his money on the Republican side of the wager.
 'Well what odds will you give?", asked MT. Leonard.
 T understood you were willing to bet even money" said the reporter
 Say do you think I am a fool?'' said the sporting lunch magnate.
 Well what odds do you want?', asked the reporter.
 ''I'Ils take the short end of a 3 to 1 bet on Lee,'' said MT. Leonard who added that he was an eleventh hour lay any money in any event until afr ter tomorrow night when he would be able to get better insight of the situation. Mr.. Leonard is probably not adverse to a little free advertis- ing for his lunch businesy
