F. S. & H. For County Option.

County option is the supreme is
sue before the voters Of the state
at the coming election. 1t means
the abolition Of the saloon in the
majority of agricultural counties.
1t means to these counties, and to
their farmer taxpayers, relief from
the direct and indirect cost of the
liquor business, it means better
centers of trade more money for
legitimate purposes. better social
atmosphere in which to bring up
our boys and girls.
County option is a direct chal-
lenge to the liquor business in pol
itics. That business is so mixed
up with corporation influence that
to attack the one involves the other.
The two stand cheek by jowl in leg
islation. The representative of
corporate interests may be depend
ed upon to render valued service,
public or secret, in behalf Of the
liquor trust, and it need not sur
prise constituency electing man
on an anti-option platform to find
him working for the corporations
as against the interests of the peo-
pie.
The situation calls for the elec-
tion of men who will go further
than a mere passive acquiescence in
the action of their party. Elected,
they temporarily constitute the par
ty. Every man seeking Office at
the disposal of the people must be
put on record, for or against this
proposition. Then if we are beat.
emf a majority of the people say
by their vote that they prefer liq-
Incorporation control, we'll and
good. We will accept the verdict
with what grace we can, and pre-
pare for another battle. But there
must be no hedging, no beating
about the bush, no "gentleman'
agreement to send man to St.
Paul pledged only to use his dis
erection. Such vote will 60 to the
liquor interests. The coming cam.
paign is one of serious politica
and business and moral import tt

Italians Shaken Up.

About II o'clock last Wednesday
evening runaway switch engine
bumped into a number of boarding
cars occupied by Italians and seven
of them were more or less cut and
bruised. The engineer had been
backing up a string of cars, and
was reversing his engine when the
water glass broke, allowing the
boiling water and steam to escape.
This frightened him and he left his
post, the engine running wild until
she had piled up a large number of
cars and could get no further. 1t
is estimated that it will cost the
Great Northern a good many thou
sands of dollars to settle the claims
for personal injuries.

TARIFF RESPONSIBLE.

Byron w. Holt Says It Adds II Per
W Cent to Cost Of Living.
Mr.. Byron W. Holt has an impor-
tant article in the New York Independ-
ent of Feb. "a. entitled Tariff and
Cost of Living"
He assigns to the tariff the second
place as factor in bringing about the
current high prices. the other two
factors being gold depreciation and
rising land values. He admits. how
ever. that 1T might be shown that the
tariff is responsible for some of the
increase in land values"
He continues: From somewhat care
full estimates made by myself in 1903.
the cost Of living in this country was
then nearly II per cent higher than it
would have been had there been no
tariff. 1t was estimated that the H.
100000 families then consumed foods
worth $15,999. 100000. or $941 per FAM
lily. On this basis the tariff tax was
about Sill per family. or $94.48 after
| deducting the 1882 per family which
was the amount of tariff taxes actu.
ally collected by the government" Mr.
Holt does not think that the amount
Of the tariff-trust tax per family Is
less now than it was then
Then follows an interesting list Of
the amount Of the tariff tax which the
average family had and still has to
pay, as calculated from the best data
available. 1t ought to interest the con-
sumner just now.
'Taking some of the more impor-
tant items. the tariff trust tax per
family was. on woolens, 1928; on silks.
linens. laces. furs. rubber goods. gloves.
ETC.. 50: on cottons. $6.37; on furni-
ture, etc.. 1924; on beer. whisky. wine.
etc., 1874: on building materials. $500;
on implements and tools. $5.05; on
sugar, confectionery. etc.. $4.72: on to-
bacco. etc.. So. y; on sickness and death.
1855; on beef. veal and mutton. $2.49:
on vegetables. $40: on bread, $1.94;
| on amusements and recreation. $1.75:
on hogs and hog products. STA: on
travel. 81 .35: on boots and shoes. $1.23
Other items bring the total up to
| $94.48"
The elimination of the tariff graft.
| according to Mr.. Holt. would be equiv
alent to an advance Of II per cent in
wages and salaries throughout the
country: strikes would diminish. and
railroads could secure cheaper ma
terials and more freight.
"Our railroads." he adds. would to-
day start an agitation for free trade
| if they knew their own interests. Fully
95 per cent of the 90.0O0.00O Of consum-
ers in this country would do likewise"
If each article sold to consumers
was plainly labeled with the natural
price and the artificial price separate
~ stated the people would make short
work of the tariff.-George S Merriam.
Ice 40 an Explosive.
Quarrymen in very cold districts
sometimes economize in dynamite by

The water freezes and in the process
expands so much that it bursts the

be gathered some idea of the enormous
forces contained in nature.

whether the order of the interstate

Northern Pacific to enter into Joint
rates between Puget sound points
and eastern points via Portland, Ore,
is to stand. The principal involved,
it is said, reaches every section of the
country. The Northern Pacific is re-

cially prominent in north New Jer-

probably fatally wounded today by all
infuriated negro in smoking car of
a New Jersey Central train in which
they were riding to their homes in

Lord were Gale Young of New York
and the latter's cousin, Roger Young
of New York. Soon after the train
left Jersey City, the negro. who was
accompanied by another man of his
race and mulatto woman, accused
the four young college men of making
remarks about the woman. Lord was
about to reply, but Higbee told him
to keep quiet. Don't tell me to keep
quiet" yelled the negro as he leaped
to his feet and drew revolver. "I'll
quiet you," and he opened fire on the
four young men.
The first bullet went through Lords
stomach. and he dropped to the floor.
The second ploughed into Higbee's s
chest. and then Gale and Roger Young
leaped at the negro. But the colored
man continued firing and the shots
caused panic in the car. All the
passengers stampeded for the doors
or hid under the seats. When the
train was stopped the wounded men
were taken to hospital in Jersey
City where it was said they probably
would die. Roger Young. who .clung
to the negro when he jumped from
the moving train. was found back on
