During nearly eight of these nine

is an evidence of downward revision
which sustains all that Republican

The attacks which are being made
upon the tariff on the pretense that
the revision was upward instead of
downward are based upon either ig-

not bear serious examination. Such

THE TARIFF BILL AND

What is the record of the new

The complete returns of the depart

that both imports and exports for
March, 1910, were greater than for
that month in 1909, before the Payne
act was passed. The imports, in
round figures, amounted to 1853 ,00o,-

RIVER IMPROVEMENT

Speaking of the wisdom that lies
in improving our waterways, noting
particularly the Mississippi river,
but making an argument which is
alike applicable to the Missouri, the
St. Louis Globe Democrat observes
that a waterway like the Mississippi,
if in Germany, would have been i'm
proved long ago and rendered ade-
quate for modern demands. Though
the region along the border Of the
Mississippi is far less thickly settled
than is the country along the Rhine,
it will grow rapidly in the future.
The Mississippi is the main stream
in a system of 16 900 miles of navig-
able waters. The rivers of twenty
four states drain into the Mississippi.
These states have IS per cent of the
country's population. They produce
Is per cent of the country's wheat,
81 per cent of its corn, 43 per cent of
it's minerals, 66 per cent OF it's cot
ton and 40 per cent of its manufac-
lures. In every one Of these items
the United States stands first among
the countries of the world. The
centers Of population, of manufac-
lures and of food supply are in the
Mississippi VALLEY. When Uncle
Sans enumerators finish the count
of inhabitants which they began
last week, it will be found that the
population center, which was near
Columbus, Ind. in 1900, has made 2
further stride toward the banks of,
the Mississippi. The social as WE'LL
as the industrial center of the coun4t,
try is in the big valley. One of thas
country's' largest assets is the Mis-
sissippi river.

Hon. Smith Stinmel of Case coun-
ty, who Is a candidate for governor,
suggests a new way in which the
voters of the state can get better
acquainted with candidates for NOM
ination to Office, in the following
from a communication to the For
UNI:
A state campaign necessarily in
wolves a canvass of the state to some
extent by the candidates, in order
that the people of the state may, as
far as possible, become acquainted
with the candidate for or against
whom they are expected to cast their
votes; and this canvass should, in
my Judgment, be more especially for
the benefit of the people than for the
candidate. To this end, believe
that the primary campaign for the
nomination of candidates for state
officers should be carried on by the
general public, and not by the can
didates themselves In order to do
this, I would suggest that the repub-
lican state central committee, for
and on behalf of the nominations to
be made by the republicans, arrange
for series of public day meetings
at central points throughout the
state for the month of June, where
the citizens of such communities
would be willing to meet the ex-
pense of such meetings. to which
meetings all regularly enrolled re-
publican candidates may consider
themselves invited, and have a
chance to be heard, if they so desire,
and in that way give the people a
chance to meet and become acquaint-
ed with those from among whom
they are to select their candidates.
I believe that the people would very
much enjoy a day of this kind with
candidates, and it would enable the
candidate to meet a larger aggre-
CATION of the people, and at less ex-
pense, than they could possibly meet
in any other way. This. it seems to
me, would be fair for all concerned
would not suggest that such a
campaign should be anything in the
nature of joint debate, but that a
limited time he given to each candi-
date present to state his views on
any matter of interest in the cam
paign. The details of such gather
ings could be easily arranged
! We can't see any especial objec-
! ton to such plan, although we are
of the opinion that the brief glimpse
of a candidate thus available to the
voters might not be effective in en-
aiding them to form an accurate es-
innate of his worth. A good many
superficial candida tss might shine in
such limited period, and good
many solid and substantial ones
might suffer. There would be am
pie opportunity for the cleverness
of good tinker, and the judgment
of men that was formed might not
be altogether accurate. Still. as we
have pointed out, the primary law

! Centralia, WASH, April IS, 1910
Editor of The Tribune:
Each student of the English
classes in the high school of Centrali.a
is asked to write a letter in the form
of an advertising booster to some
paper in the east or middle east.
Having once been a resident of your
city, I take this opportunity to tell
you about Centralia. This thriving
city is located midway between Pu-
get Sound on the north and the Col
umbia river on the south. We are
in the center of great agricultural
district, where farming of ever de-
scription is carried on, including a
great amount of dairying and fruit
raising. The. forest-covered hills
and mountains near Centralia are
la den with rich fields Of coal, OF
which there is great amount being
mined at the present time. Smaller
cities and towns are located in all
directions from here. with railroads
running to all of them: thus Gen.
tralia has become better known as
1.-The Hub City" Our population is
between $500 and 5000. and the
steady increase in the arrival of
homeseekers makes It evident that
10000 will be a conservative estim'
ate within a years time. There are
over two dozen large factories locat.
ed here, including saw mills, single
mills, furniture and cross.arm fac
tories; brick and numerous other
necessities are also manufactured.
Beside these, there is large fruit
cannery located here. A veneering
plant is also being built. There are
many fine business houses, and all
business streets are already paved or
being paved with brick. In the resi-
dence districts the streets are all
graded and shade trees grow in the
parking of the sidewalks. Centralia's
homes compare very favorably with
those Of cities many times her size.
Churches representing all denomina-
tions are to be found here. Our
schools are the best to be had. There
are six large school buildings with a
new 100000 high school now being
planned Three general hospitals
are also located in the city. The
Northern Pacific, Southern Pacific,
Great Northern and Oregon and
Washington all operate trains into
Centralia, with many branch lines
running directly from the city, in
