Senator M'Cumber's Good Record

Adams Budget: Those of our state
who are seeking the defeat for re-elec-
ton Of Senator McCumber have Sc
verely criticised his record in making
the present tariff law commonly known
as the Payne-Aldrich tariff. None of
these critics, however. have pointed
out wherein the senator has acted
otherwise than for the best interests
Of the whole people.
1t needs no new intelligence to adj
wise the people that all legislation of
permanent value enacted by a repre-
sentative body, such as our national
and state legislatures are must be the
result of compromise.
NO statesman can put upon the
statute book law which applies to
all conditions of person and property,
extending in it's operation over vast
area of territory, that win meet the
ideal either of that promoter of the
law or the particular community af-
fected by the law.
close inspection of Senator Nc
Cumber's record during the progress
of the enactment of our present tariff
law will convince the most prejudiced.
that he labored honestly and success
fully to accomplish the greatest adj
vantage to the state and nation.
Every school boy knows that~an
efficient tariff law must protect the
interests of the wage Garner, the man
ufacturer, the agriculturalist, and all
classes of American industry and pro-
vide sufficient revenue to meet the ex-
penses of the government.
Let us be fair and see if any sub
stantial benefit was secured to the
people of North Dakota through the
efforts of Senator McCumber. He se-
cured a reduction of 81 per cent on
barbed wire, of 33 per cent on soft coal
hard coal is on the free list), and
substantial reduction on lumber of all
grades, a reduction of over 90 per cent
on glass. He labored strenuously to
protect the wheat grower against Can
adian cheap wheat and cheap land,
the drawback which
amounts to the same thing as free
importation. 1t is useless to protect
a commodity against foreign importa-
ton and then return the amount col
1ected.
Senator McCumber insisted that the
products of the farm should be pro-
tected enough from entertainments
from our neighbor on the north and
the senate listened to his appeal.
In and out of season, whether on
the floor of the senate or throughout
the state Senator McCumber has ex-
erted every energy and foresight at his
command to promote the interest of
the farmer, and no one knows this fact
better than the farmers of North Da.

kota. He favors a tariff commission
not for the purpose of superseding
congress, or advising congress, or in
any manner interfering with the leg
islative function of congress, but simp-
ly to gather intelligence regarding
revenue and tariff legislation, which
Will be of service to congress in franz
ing our revenue laws.
The duty of such a commission IS
to gather statistics without regard 10
the aspect or theory Of tariff legisla-
ton, entertained by those of the differ
Ing political creeds. No one win deny
that such a commission can be of in
calculable value to our law makers.
The congressional record testifys
that the farmer, the wage Garner, the
whole people had no stauncher friend
in the senate during the making of our
tariff law than Senator McCumber.
and no representative in either house
was more alive to the protection Of
the interests of agriculture, an inter
est hitherto had been sorley neglected
In the making of tariff laws, than the
senior senator from North Dakota.
Senator McCumber knew that the
Payne Aldrich bill was not a perfect
law-no law is, but he also knew that
it was the best that could be obtained,
and with true conception of the ele-
ments which we call craftsmanship,
ne accepted the bill as it finally
emerged from the conference. In vot-
ing for that BILL Senator McCumber
Kept steadily in mind that the repub-
llcan party was pledged to a revision
of the tariff, which would recognize
the principle of protection with the
minimum and maximum rates to pre-
serve without excessive duties, that
security against foreign competition
to which American manufacturers and
wage earners are entitled to.
The tariff law is a republican meas
ure, and though far from being a per-
feet law, it is the best that could pe
obtained from divergent interests, and
has the approval of the president.

we ara now in the midst OF a biennial
campaign in which the North Dakota
farmers and business men generally
are asked to return to the worse than
stagnant conditions that prevailed
from 1890 to 1900.
How Is It possible for the political
agitator to convince the farmers that,
If he is elected to Office, he can better
these conditions? Isn't 1t more rea-
sonable to apprehend that by his con.
tlnued agitation. while he might bet.
ter his own condition in getting his
name on the public payroll, the farm
the farmer, by encouraging the agita-
tor, will again pay the penalty of low
prices?
These agitators tell the farmers that
they receive no protection under re-
publican tariff policy. We answer this
by giving telegraphic market reports
of May 10 of this year:
Wheat--Minneapolis, $1.09 to $1.1O% {:
Winnipeg, 95%c; Liverpool, $1.10A.
Flax-Minneapolis, S2.O5; Winnipeg,
$1.75 Liverpool, $1.0S to $1.S5.
Barley-Minneapols 39c to 40c:
Liverpool 53c.
O1IS minneapolis, o3C u 4UCs WIN
nipeg, 32kc; Liverpool, 39c.
These figures show beyond cavil
that the farmer is protected wisely
by the republican policy and McCum-
Der and Hanna should get the credit
for supporting this policy.
The North Dakota farmer is no fool
and he will go to the poll on June 20
and vote for McCumber and Hanna,
the two brainy men that the eastern
papers say are credit to the great
state which they represent.

FLOWERS FOR THE LIVING.

Once while assisting in the last
sad rites that so often fall on us to
perform here on earth, for some
dear and precious loved one strick-
en- by the hand of death, we were
particularly impressed as We beheld
the casket containing the still, sill
ent form so profusely covered with
flowers that it seemed
" 'Twould be bliss TO there repose. F"
But we had known the pathway
that silent form had trod. Few
flowers bloomed beside it, but little
sunlight ever crossed it. Tired and
weary, few proffered help, sad and
discouraged, few spoke words of
cheer. Thorns by the way, there
seemed none to remove them; often
cast down there seemed none to
lift up. A heart starving for low
ing word, soul bewildered for lack
of a tender hand to guide. But all
is over now; the pangs, the regrets,
the cares, the sorrows can hamper
that form no longer, neither can any
tender, loving administration you
may now bestow take one pang, one
regret, pluck one thorn or emit one
ray of sunshine on the life already
over, or add one jot to the bliss of
the soul in its new estate. The day
most beautiful flowers were proffer-
ed by those whose lips never utter
ed one word of cheer to the depart
ed, nor hands never holden out to
help, TO remove the thorn, to smooth
the way and make at least one
pleasant little oasis on life's desert
Have we friends? We trust We
have. Then we pray them save not
all the flowers for my burial, but
sprinkle a few along my pathway
now-just a few. We can appre-
ciate them just now. How refresh
ing-how they fill my poor heart
with joy just to know some one
thinks of us-cares for us, is ever
solicitious for our welfare. Oh, how
it brightens, lightens its burdens
the consolation even softens dyins
pillow, might we not say adds bills:
to the departed spirit. Yes, strev
our coffin with flowers, but oh, gram
Us few by the way-just a few
bestowed against the day of oul
burial

AFTERMATH OF CHRISTMAS.

If all the wreckage of tawdry
and fiimsy Christmas presents CIV
en- in Decorah, broken by the use
or abuse of the first week after the
holiday, were swept into heap,
what roaring old bonfire it would
make! And how many kidlets
would be the worse off therefor?
In the long run the kind of toys
that remain longest in the heart of
tn child are those that come closest
to his real nature. The boy usually
prefers sSme work tools, by which
he dreams himself one of the world s
grown up toilers. Or else he re-
joices more in something TO do with
sport or adventure.
Give the boy a bat, foot ball, a
chest CT tools, sled, and they will
last more than one Christmas. Give
him a mechanical steamboat, and
its fake machinery is smashed be-
fore the paint has begun to rub off.
In the same way with the girls. The
one toy of every century and every
age is the doll, on which the little
one can feel the first tingling of the
eternal passion of mother love.

FAREWELL OLD YEAR.

The old year will soon have past
into history. We part with it as
with an old friend. To come it has
brought much joy--to others sor-
row. Yet we are reluctant to say
farewell. Like a palsied man it
totters as it nears the end of life's
journey and goes forward towards
that vast vault wherein doth lie the
forms of dead dynasties and sheet
ed centuries swept by the remorse-
less hand of time to that great
graveyard at the entrance of which
iscs the Imaginary tombstone upon
which is inscribed these words:

emnity in the slowly moving, yet

puny marks raised to measure the

cities have sprung from fertile
plains and then sank beneath the
deserts drifting sands; continents
have reared their lofty brows above

the type of a duration for which all

the creation on the rocks of nature

God in the bowels of the earth; but
when il attempts to grasp the sig
rificance of eternity it stands abash-
ed and dumbfounded at its inability
to comprehend an infinite plan.

THE SALOONS WIN OUT
Board of Supervisors Declare Con-
sent Petition is Sufficient.
BOARD UNANIMOUS IN VOTE.
Careful Examination by Board Re-
suits in Throwing Out Signers
on Both Petitions and
Withdrawals.

The question of the operation of
saloons in Winneshiek county dur
ing the next five years under the
laws of Iowa was determined last
Thursday afternoon, so far as the
hoard of supervisors is concerned,
by that body, when by unanimous
vote the members declared the mulct
consent petition sufficient, having
the required 65 per cent of sigma
lures of voters who voted at the last
preceding election. ~
The result is practically the same
as outlined in the prediction in the
last issue Of this paper. In the
canvass of the consent petition rs
names were thrown out as faulty,
and in the withdrawal petition there
were so many errors and irregulari-
ties that after it was all summed up,
and the final count MADE, consider
ing the petition of consent, the with
drawal petition and deducting the
number of names thrown out on
each, the saloon had still won by
49 more than the required 65 per
cent.
The canvass was virtually closed
on Monday, after weeks work.
but in order to consider points Of
law, etc., the board did not render
finding until Thursday afternoon.
when both sides appeared and argued
the matter before the board, the
final result being as stated above
The only procedure now left to
the opponents of the saloon is an
appeal to the district court. They
have twenty days in which to file
notice. of such appeal, which must
be accompanied by bond of $10,-
0o0 for court COSTS. K has been rbe
general belief that whichever side
lost before the board would appeal,
and we understand that the anti
saloon forces are making prepara-
tions to do so. The next term OF
court sets on January 3Oth, with
Judge Hobson on the bench, and it
will come before him for a decision
If the appeal is perfected.

is apparent, therefore, that the con-
sumner has much to do to work out
his own salvation with regard 20 the
price that he pays.
Nothing short of omniscence can
grasp the value of the farm products
of this year. says the secretary. At
no time in the worlds history has
a country produced farm products
within one year with a value reach
ing SS,926, 200, which is the
value of the agricultural products
Of this country for 1910. This
amount is larger than that of 1909
by $3O5, 100000. The corn crop is
worth 100000, 1000; cotton
$90O,000,000; hay s720,O0O,O0O;
wheat 1925, 100000; oats $780,
100000.
The total production of all cereals
vas 5,14O,000,00O, 13 per cent
aboye the five year average. The to-
tai value of the cereals raised in
1910 was $2,71O,O0O,0OO, or $780,
100000 below the figures for 1909,
but there was an increase this year
or S424.OOO,OO0 in the value of ami
mails and animal products on the
farms.
Attention is called to an investiga-
tion which shows that the yields of
crops per acre are increasing, the
average for wheat having been 90
I'er cent greater in the past four
years than in the preceding ten; for
corn, IL per cent greater, and for
cotton, 3 per cent greater.
Appropriations for the department
of agriculture during the year end
ing June 80, 1910, amounted to
$17 ,029,036.
