SOME CHEWING.

When Theodore Roosevelt first
broke into the public prints as the
conquerer of Kettle Hill, an enter.
prising press agent pictured him to
the reading American public, as
climbing the hill on his hands and
knees, chewing great mouths full of
grass.
AS president of the United States,
he changed his hay diet for one of
cloth and spent the greater part Of
his time, to express it in His own
style of language, chewing the rag"
Since the Chicago convention he
has been heard from only with bill
lingsgate issuing from between his
widely advertised teeth, and he is
now working overtime on vitrolic
words and expressions.
He has truly been an active and
energetic disciple of the gentle art of
chewing, but there is yet a chapter to
come.
A fine large bitter pill is being pre-
pared for him by the American peo-
pie, and as he sinks into obscurity
after the first of November, he will
be forced to masticate the cud of bit
ter reflection and vain regret.

POETIC LICENSE.

"At last the colonel escaped out a
side door to the street, where the
night fog was throbbing with the beat
of drums of a dozen bands, the
tramping of thousands Of feet, the
flare of many motor car horns. -
Kansas City Times.
This happens in telling of Roose-
velt's visit in Joplin. 1t is very beau
tiful. So beautiful it almost hurts to
announce that really and truly there
was only one band and one drum
corps, and that the motor horns did
not do enough flaring to scare a cat.
But it should be made part of the
minutes on the ground of poetic IL
cense. Joplin Globe.

goods entering he towns, AT the
gates Of such towns there is an Off
cial who collects this tax, and it is
found that the difference in prices of
articles purchased outside Of the
towns and within the towns is in
nearly every instance exactly the
amount of the duty. The same hap
pens in trade between nations.
Some Testimony From Abroad.
In Holland there are no import du-
ties on food or raw materials, the
sole protective element being tax of
5 per cent on imported manufactured
goods. In Germany there is high
duty on food and an excessive tariff
on all the necessaries of life. A

Drug, near the German frontier.

more cheaply and better across the

here are practically no import duties.

Mr.. Roosevelt now proposes that if
his politics do not suit the people
after the election he is willing to SUBJ
to the recall and retire from the
presidency. This is certainly fair
enough unless the Colonel should
again bring up the proposition of the
coup of coffee" However, we have
no fears. After the 9Th of November
T. R. will never again be in a posi-
ton where the recall of public Off
Gals need affect him.

These figures are calculated from
official statistics Of the British Board
of Trade in the Eleventh Abstract of
Labor Statistics and from figures in
the Seventy-first Bulletin of the Uni
ted States Bureau of Labor.
The year 1896, which was the year
preceding the enforcement of the
highly protective Dingley tariff, is
taken as the standard year, the cost
of food in each country being taken
as 100. The meaning of the table is
that food which cost 81 in Great Brit
tan in 1896 could not be duplicated
for less than SLOT in 1905, and that
food for which the American con-
sumner paid 81 in 1896 cost $1.343 in
1905.
A Striking Comparison.
Coming nearer home, the differ
ence in the cost of living in Detroit
and just across the river in Windsor,
Canada, supplies us with a striking
definition of the real meaning of ex-
cessive tariff rates. Prices of food
stuffs, wearing apparel, and rents
average from 20 to Is per cent more
than in Windsor. And between the
two cities there are but 1851 feet of
water-and the Aldrich-Payne tariff
bill!
The Detroit man is protected"
and the Windsor man is not.
By not being protected" the
Windsor man pays SIS for a suit of
clothes that the Detroit man will find
difficult to duplicate in quality for
$25. What the Windsor man is es-
Gaping in this instance is the Aldrich-
Payne tax of A cents a pound on
good all wool clothes, and the addi-
tional tax of 60 per cent on the value
of the goods. /
Wool Tariff Robs Women.
When a woman purchases $40
worth of wooden dress goods, $4.87
of that $40 represents the actual val.
ue Of the goods and the remaining
S.. 10 of the $40 the amount of the
tariff. In other words, should the
same purchase be made in England,
where there is no tariff on woolens,
the woman would receive the same
and quality of dress goods
for A.87 that she pays $40 for in this
country.
This is because of the Payne-Ald-
rich ad valorem tariff of los per cent
on this class of goods.
Germans Admit Tariff Increases Prices.
When the German Government in
troduced its tariff law of 1902, it pub
lished with it, as is the custom in
Germany, printed explanation of
the reasons for its introduction. This
official document which squarely de-
clares that import duties raise the
lost of living, reads, in part, as fol-
ows:

SP0ONfR DlDN0T COME
HON. THOS KNEELAND TELLS
WHY HE THINKS SP0ONER
, :, SHOULD BE GOVERNOR

Hon. Thomas Kneeland of Mime
apolis gave an address at the court
house Friday evening in support OF
Hon. L. G. Spooner's candidacy Tor
governor. He said that at the time OF
the coming out of Spooner for govern
or, there was no Eberhardt sentiment
in Minneapolis and that neither Lee
or Gordon seemed to have any follow
ers.
Mr.. Kneeland said that the presi-
dental nominations had been occupying
the whole minds of the people, while
the paramount questions, those Of the
state, had been entirely ignored or for
gotten.
He upheld Mr.. Lee in his statement
that the taxes in Minnesota aggregated
So per capita for men, women and chill
dren; and stated that though the tax
es in Minnesota are exhorbitant and
double those Of Iowa and Wisconsin,
they have been increasing at the rate Of
100000 per year for the last eight
years. He remarked that when the
Jacobson gross earnings tax bill was
passed that the promise had been made
that there would be no more direct taxes
in Minnesota, but that the people were
now paying more per capita than be-
fore the passage Of the bill.
"Taxation,' said Mr.. Kneeland,
Hdepends on whom we have for gov
ernor, for the governors power is
dominant.''
By figures he proceeded to show
some of the extrayagant expenditures
and some Of the demands for needless
appropriations made to the committee
on appropriations of which Mr.. Spooner
is chairman; and maintains that as
such Mr.. Spooner has been instrumental
in saving considerable money for the
people. Mr.. Spooner was chairman Of
the railroad committee and the speak
er claimed he was the means OF secur-
ing a reduction in the passenger and
commodity rates which were in ex-
istence for a short time, and also of a
strumental in securing the passage Of a
bill whereby the railroads are made to
deposit the amounts over those rates
in the treasury.
Moreover, he stated that Mr.. Spooner
was the most important factor in
bringing the state institutions up to
their high standard.
In closing his address he said that
Eberhardt would carry the party
standard to certain defeat; that Gordon
had no past records and that although
Lee was a good economical business
man, that his past services did not
warrant him as the man for the place.
He hailed Hon. L. G. Spooner as the
only gubernatorial candidate, on the re-
publican ticket whose past achieve
ments would warrant him to be the
man for the place and the only one who
would have any chance to defeat Ring
dahl.
