\ BRAZEN DEFENCE
 OF sLCG-ROLLING''

President James R. MacColl of the "Hore Market Club. is one of the manufacturers who are usually allowed to dictate the cotton goods schedule of the tariff, and who are accredited with having fulfilled this function in this years revision-upward of the tarlI- At the recent meeting Of the club, he declared that tariff revision, one schedule at a time, was unsound, non- practical. a mere academic theory, and a fallacy. and that ''the principle of compromise and trading that is un- doubtedly associated with the passage of a tariff bill through Congress IS necessary and right.
 We do not recall an instance of such brazen frankness as MT. MacColI thus displays. Single-schedule revision is intended to effect two objects. viz. to prevent such country wide disturbance as accompanies full tariff-revision, and to estop the leg-rolling process by which each protected interest secures continued or increased duties by prom ising it's aid of similar effect to all the others-a system of mutual robbery of the people. This process is. according to MT MacColl, necessary and right :.
 The American Protective Tarin League is. like the Home Market Club. opposed to tariff revision downward. Through it's organ. it expresses disap- proval of ga tariff commission hired to pick flaws in a Republican tariff , and also of revision one schedule at a time.
 It is not now possible to safely pre- dict the action of the Tariff Commis- sion: 1t may or may not pick flaws in a Republican tariff. There are flaws" in abundance, but the com mission may hesitate. perhaps at the Presidents instance, to reveal them at such short distance in time from the campaign of 1912.
 Men upon both sides of the tariff question profess distrust of the com mission It Is certainly an unknown but not a negligible quantity, although it can only place findings before the President, upon which he may or may not base recommends dations to Congress There are no absolute certainties ir the matter.

NO HOPE FOR
 DIR. GRIFFIN
Home Secretary Churchill An nounces That He Must Hang,
 as Sentenced, on Nov. g
Special from United Press.)

(Sp6cldI rom Ln1I6Q PreSS-)
 London, Nov. 21.-No pardon or communication of sentence will be granted to Dr. H. H. Crippen, the American wife-sIayer. This was the decision, today, of the Home Office
 After thorough review and investi- gation of the case, Home Secretary Winston Churchill announced that Crippen must hang. as previously sen fenced, on November 23. When Grip pen was informed, early today, that his last hope was gone, he betrayed no emotion.
 crippen, however, had realized clemency from the Home Office, and, on Sunday, he issued a lengthy state ment reiterating his innocence and declaring that, if he had had un- limited means at his command. as had the Grown, he would not have been convicted. Additional expert medical testimony, he said, would have shown that the body found un- der the Hill Drop Crescent House. was not that of his wife, Belle FL more Crippen, the actress Conscious of his innocence, he declared he had kept up hope until the failure of his appeal, which he had been convinced would reverse the Judgment of the court. That had overwhelmed him and crushed him, as he had hopes to the last of being able to build up home with the woman, (Miss Leneve,) without whom life was not worth living.
 The fact that Crippen had prev iously determined there was no hope from the Home Office, is believed to have enabled him to bear up so well, today, when informed that Churchill had decided against him.
 "I am ready for the end," he said. "I shall die with the firm conviction that eventually the proofs of my in- nocence will some day become known"
 Had the Home Office interfered. Crippen declared, it would have been an unexpected mercy, the first shown him since his trial began.

The total lack of election contests from towns using voting machines, and the abundance of them from towns using the Austra allan ballot. furnish a lesson of value There are no dis puted counts in the machine-using towns; in nearly all other towns. in which close votes were recorded more contests have followed. It is more than proba ble that in some of these towns the real will of the people was defeated by defects in the ballots. More towns should adopt the voting lrachines, if for no other reason than to make certain that the wishes of the people shall be accurately ascertained.

The conditions now given as reasons for the drop in wholesale prices of meats. existed precisely the same be- fore as after the elections. It was as well known before as after, that the corn crop is above the records and its prices low. but the Beef Trust did not lower the prices of meats until after the elections. In the judgment of many. the trust awaited the results of the elections. Had the Republicans won, the old prices would probably have been continued; Democratic sue cesses were as probably interpreted as a demand for lower prices which could not safely be denied
 But. meat prices are still too high. According to high authority, they could be halved if restrictions upon importations from South America were removed This is what should be done Too long has the Beef Trust fattened inordinately at the cost of the American people. Let in compe- tition.

In his address to the congress James
J. Hill recalled the fact that four years
ago, in a speech at the Minnesota
state fair, he called attention to the
waste of national resources, inviting
national disaster, and he reiterated
what he said at that time. He made
these points:
I'VE are living in an age of world
wide financial delirium. Most nations
have thrown away moderation in the
spending of money.

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.
The third days session Of the con-
gress was notable for many things.
The Minnesota Roadmakers' ass0cia-
tion was organized and in addition an
all day good roads section was held,
with meetings in the morning, after
noon and evening. The opening ses-
sion was called to order by Governor
Eberhart and addresses were made by
a list of speakers with expert knOWl-
edge not only on roads in this part Of
the country, but also thoroughly versed
in the roadmalIing history Of the
world. Maps, diagrams, photographs
and stereOpticOn views were used to
illustrate the addresses.
Other states were represented at
the good roads section, many visitors
having come from North and South
Dakota and Wisconsin to take in the
meeting.
AS further step in the work of ap-
plying the principles of conservation
discussed at the congress Organiza-
tiOns were formed by county and farm
executives, who will have it in their
power to direct the employment of
scientific farming and administrative
methods and a movement was started
to organize county conservation com
mittees, with the probability of fire.
quent local meetings between the ad
journment of this and the cOnvening
of the next congress.
WOMEN TAKE ACTIVE PART.
Women figured prominently in the
third days session Of the general Sec
tiOn of the congress, the discussions
relating to agricultural and industrial
education. pure food, public health
and sanitation. At a special session in
the afternoon "W0man's Part in Con
servation" was discussed by number
of women speakers.
Two speakers of national reputation
participated in the days programme.
DR.. H w. Wiley, chief of the bureau
of chemistry in the department of agri-
culture, and D J Crosby, specialist
in agricultural education.
DR.. Wiley spoke during the after
noon on Pure Food in Its Relation to
Public Health and Conservation. AS
one of the foremost authorities on
questions of pure food DR.. Wiley's
message to the congress was listened
to with interest
Mr. Crosby has been connected with
the department of agriculture for
seven years. He came from Washing
ton especially to address the congress.
Professor F. r. Denfeld, superin-
tendent of the Duluth public schools,
made an address upon Education and
Current Business and Their Relation
to each other" and George F. How
ard and D D. Mayne of the agricuI-
tural college handled the subject from
the viewpoint of the educator.
DR.. WILEY MADE A HIT.
For straight common sense, unQues-
toned sincerity and profound grasp Of
his subject DR.. Wiley's address stood
apart from all others delivered before
the convention. He did not aim to
please his audience; he aimed to in
struct them. With wealth of infOr-
nation at his command relating to
pure food he presented in concise, log
ical and convincing manner the mes

to deliver to the people of Minnesota.

RALLINGER's ADDRESS.


Secretary of the Interior Ballinger's
address was entitled sThe Public Do
main and the National Obligations Re-
garding Its Disposition" 1t was, in
effect, a declaration of his ideas on
conservation generally. While he did
not mention Clifford Pinchot by name
his frequent illusions to conservation
doctrinaires" and their "nebulous the
ories" were not easily misunderstood.
He admitted that these people" are
for the most part sincere, but thought
their sincerity gave them ''vigor Of
Imagination" that makes it hard to
combat their vagaries except through
practical demonstration.
Mr.. Ballinger made the point that
the responsibility for the conservation
of natural resources rests chiefly upon
the states themselves, though the gen
eral government has a great duty to
perform by way of assistance in the
work.
Mr.. BaIlinger drew applause on sew
eral occasions, as, when he said: TO
put as many homes as possible into
the hands of the people is the earnest
desire and sole object of the admin
istration." .E
A special session in the afternoon
was devoted to live stock and dairy
interests and was considered one of
the most important sessions of the
convention.

among them higher taxes, currency

restraint of trade, the decline in agri-
cultural produce and a general ten
dency to extravaganza and luxury
Continuing, Mr.. Hill said:
eve must save the wealth of the
country, it's capital, it's credit, from
the predatory poor as we'll as the
predatory rich, but, above all, from
the predatory politicians.
Expenditures must be cut down all

The second day of the congress was
more largely attended than the first,
while in the exhibit rooms scores of
visitors inspected the displays. Not
a small part of the crowd attended

soundness of his theories by putting
them into practical use at his farm.
