The Tariff.

| Whatever happens-extra session Oh no
extra session of Congress-this Is going 10
be a tariff year in these United states OF
| America.
If the pact with Canada fails at this
| session and an extra session Is called TO
consider it, that will mean at least pro-
tracted and spirited controversy. In q
way, that instrument has increased inter-
est iii the whole tariff question. 1t has
quickened the national pulse. Both demo-
Gratis and republicans are seeing things a
little more broadly and intimately than
ever before. Here is reciprocity in a
form that he who runs may read. The
proposition is definite and easily under
stood If We want larger market right
at our door, here is the chance to ac-
qure it.
If the pact fails at this session, and
the matter goes over until next winter,
| it will still be lively subject Of discus
sion in the press and on the stump mean
while. 1t will enter into all the state CAM
paigns, and into all the senatorial cam
paigns. Gov. Foss of Massachusetts in
particular should welcome it. He claimed
his election to Congress a year ago and
his election to the governorship in No
vember ON the score of his advocacy Of
reciprocity with Canada; and next No
| vember Massachusetts holds another state
election.
Moreover, the pact is certain to grow
in interest abroad, not only in Great
Britain, but on the continent. and when
its full significance has been appraised
there, what is said by the foreign press
and by foreign statesmen will add to our
| own interest in the subject.
When the Payne bill became q law its
| friends hoped. apd expressed the opinion,
that the tariff would not be an issue Of
pressing moment again for at least ten
years. They conceded that the democrats
would continue their agitation, but they
did not expect it to make much impress
| sion as against measure at once good
| revenue producer and harborer of the
| principle of protection.
This proved to be mistaken judgment.
The tariff as an issue did not disappear
for single week. Opponents Of the new
law in both parties continued to attack
1t, and in a little more than a year after
its enactment they secured verdict
against 1t at the polls. And what is now
on the cards, both as respects reciprocity
and revision Of schedules, is in obedience
to that verdict. The question now is, will
the tariff question be settled in the next
ten years? The people want 1t settled,
and 1t Is true that nothing is settled un-
til it is settled right.

To a committee representing tho

Gentlemen, / am sorry to he obliged to
differ from you. but, believe me, you are
seeing ghosts He Is doubtless right.

devotion to the high-tariff policy has been
it's cultivation OF a cowarily industrial

..You have fine corps of teachers,

centers Of every school house IN
Kansas in order to increase the So
cial interests of the rural commune
ties. There is no sense In those
school houses lying idle every even
ing through the year" said me-
'There are occasional meetings OF
various sorts but not enough. There
ia no reason why the school houses
should not be open two, three or
every single night in-the week. II
was long habit to hold church ser
vices in school houses but this has
been stopped to considerable extent
and the rural churches are also dis
appearing. The churches were the
social centers but these have dis
appeared in many communities the
school house ought to be the socia
centers now and II there is any way
to bring it about l am willing tt
help. The school house belongs u
the people Of the district, II Il
usually centrally located and peo
pie can get together there and have
pleasant time two or three even
ings every week."
Several county superintendent
have announced that they are plan
