When General Hancock was NOM
mated for the presidency, as some of
the older generation may recollect,
the tariff question was an uppermost
topic, then as now. He was asked to
give his views on the subject, and
dismissed 1t with the remark: "Oh,
that is a local issue" A great deal
OF fun was poked at the general for
this sentiment, but nowadays he
seems to have been very near the
truth. If it is proposed to reduce the
tariff on woolen, then the mill own
ers in Lawrence cry out that their
business will be ruined. If ii is hint
ed that the tariff on steel and nails
Is to be lowered, then Pittsburg and
other manufacturing towns begin to
bristle up with opposition. II the tar.
in Is to be reduced on sugar then
the beet sugar growers of Colorado
and other sections protest. II the
tariff on lead-zinc ores is to be low
cred then the Guggenheims cry
ruined, ruined" So 1t goes. Every.
body is willing to have the tariff re.
drced so 1t does not affect their To-
cal protected interest. As to the gen.
eral relief of the people of the United
States. the consumers, as whole,
no thought is taken about them. SO
the tariff continues to be regarded
rs a local issue, and not national.
General Hancock was not SO very
far out OF the way.

Charles r.. Drum who is the com.

to light the possibilities of one OF the
newer avenues of Christian service
and has succeeded In getting a real
hearing on one of the o important
methods of the modern church in in

International committee of the Y. NJ.

committee offered as many of their
men to the movement as We're needed
without salary from the movement he
was one OF the first men eslected.
Grand Forks has had very little COM
munity extension and the work of this
particular expert will be watched with
unusual interest.
Rev. David Latshaw. the expert on
evangelism has the unique reputation
of having rescued seven dying church,
es and it would seem n a he could
speak with authority as to the best
method of really getting at the heart
of people and getting them interested
in the great work of the church. He
is putting into his work in this move

his scheme hat revived the

OF the program. He has been a great
football star and captained his team
n played in several schools that he
attended while completing his cduca-

but soon gave his services to the work

of the state department of Iowa.
One of the most unique characters

who is the social service expert. This
feature of the work is perhaps Great
ing more attention than any other
phase unless it is evangelism. And it
is largely due to the broad view of
