IDAHO WINS
!: !: !: IN: A: GREAT
FINISH, So

In one of the greatest games ever
played in the history Of the long
rivalry between Washington State
college and the University of Idaho,
the band from Moscow defeated W.
s. C. in the thirteenth annual game
ct Pullman yesterday afternoon.
In the last minute of play, w. s.
G. had the ball on Idaho's one yard
line, and 1t looked as though de-
feat was to be changed into victory,
but the Idaho line frightened up
and stood the assaults of Washing
ton States huskies like stone
wall. And Idaho won. 8 to 5.
Both teams played like demons
throughout the game, and the nam.
moth crowd was almost hysterical
when 1t looked at the last moment
as though defeat was to be turned
to victory.
The teams have each now won
six games, with one a tie.

About the classiest lis pounds of

has to. He fought Abe Attell
twice. giving the champion feather

was a draw, and Attell won in 16

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22.-Jno.
L. Herget, who retired from the
fighting game in 1892, claiming the
middleweight championship, is now
an influential member of the Union
Labor Board of Supervisors. Fight
fans here recall Herget when he
began scrapping at the old Cali
fornia club, in the early sos, fight
ing under the name Of Young
Mitchell"
Herget liked the fighting game,
but he had another and more pow
erful reason for following 1t. His
father died when he was entering
of a large family. There was moth
ing to do but help his mother and
the money picked up in the ring
helped wonderfully. When he took
his trip around the world in 1887
and fought a dozen battles in Aus
tralia he regularly sent remittances
to his mother, practically support
ing the family.
Peter Boland was his opponent
in his most notable mill in Aus.

in 40 rounds. The ring was pitched

tionable because it was supposed
that competition between those who
enjoyed the high protection would
keep the price for the consumer
down to what was reasonable for the
manufacturer. The evil of excessive
tariff rates, however, showed itself
in the temptation of manufacturers
to combine and suppress competition
and then to maintain the price so as
to take advantage Of the excess of
the tariff rate over the difference be-
tween the cost of production abroad
and here.
One Good Step.
THE Payne tariff bill is the first
bill passed by the republican party in
which the necessity for reducing
rates to avoid this evil has been rec
ognized, and it is therefore a decided
step in the right direction, and it
ought to be accepted as such. On
the whole, it was downward re-
vision, particularly on articles of ne
cessity and on raw materials. The
actual figures on the first years
operation of the law demonstrate
this. 1t must also be remembered
that the tariff rates in the new law
on imported liquors, wines and silks
were increased substantially over the
Dingley rates, because these were
iuxuries, and it was intended to in
crease the revenue.
Not Cause of Expense.
THE charge that the present tariff
is responsible for the increase in the
prices of necessities is demonstrably
false, because the high prices, with
very few exceptions, affect these arti-
cles in the tariff upon which there
was no increase in rates or in respect
to which there was a substantial re-
duction.
Tariff Commission.
Perhaps more important than
any one feature of the operative part
of the tariff law is that section which
enables the executive to appoint a
tariff commission or board to secure
the needed information for the
proper amendment and perfection of
the law. When the commission COM
pletes it's work, either on the entire
tariff or on any of the schedules in
respect to which issue has arisen,
and the work of the commission
shows that the present. tariff is
wrong and should be changed, ex-
pect to bring the matter to the atten-
ton of the congress, with a view to
it's amendment of the tariff in that
particular.
Should Abide Result.
For these reasons it seems to me
that all republicans-conservative,
progressive and radical-may well
abide the situation with respect to
the tariff until evidence now being
accumulated shall justify changes in
the rates; and that it is much better
for them to vote for republicans than
to help create a democratic majority,
which would he utterly at war with
the protective principle, and there
| fore would have no use for the find
ings of the tariff commission, as We
may certainly infer from the solid
democratic vote in the present con-
gress against the necessary appro-
priation for the commission work"
