REV. McGAUGHEY, religious
director Of the Duluth Y. M. c.. A.,
resigns his position because he
considers the institution has be-
come addicted to a spirit Of com
mercialism rather than to a de-

spirit Of commercialism is a domin-
ant one in Duluth, especially
where the ranges lay themselves
open to exploitation.

The wheat crop failure in Iowa thir-

Pile Of that region, but it proved to be
n blessing in disguise. 1t drove the
Iowa farmer to abandon the soil de-
stroying grain farming he had been
following and take up dairying and the
old COW aided by the hog paid off the
mortgage, educated his children, built
new barns and houses, put piano in
the house, an automobile in the barn
and good balance in the bank. And
The man who abandoned his low farm
thirty years ago can go there and find
it selling at from 500 to $50 per acre.

way. Instead of depending on the old
methods of grain raising the farmer

With the disposal Of the Reciprocity
Bill which President Taft signed few
days ago. insurgents and democrats in
Congress Immediately formed a combi-
nation for passing other tariff reduc-
ton bills. The house democrats had
passed wool bill, placing the duty on
wool at 20 per cent, the present tariff
being about 4S per cent. When this
bill went to the Senate the insurgent
republicans voted with the "old guard"
and defeated the bill. The LaFollette
bill was then taken up, which is COM
promise and provided duty of 35 per
cent. AS the democrats could not get
their own bill they then joined the in
surgent republicans and voted for the
LaFollette Senate bill on the ground
that half loaf is better than none and
passed the bill through the Senate.
As the House Bill provides for duty
of 20 per cent and the Senate Wool
Bill 35 per cent, it is thought that a
compromise will be made placing the
duty at 80 per cent. President Taft
although admitting that wool duties
were too high has stated that he will
veto this bill on the ground that no
further tariff bills should be passed un-
til the Tariff Board which is investigat-
ing the operation of tariff laws. makes
its report. which will not be until
about December. II President Taft
should veto this bill it is believed by
many that most of the western states
