Enjoyable Gathering.
The high school gymnasium and do.

scene OF many merry and pretty social
gatherings the past year, both by
teachers and pupils. 1t is doubtful

Games were also played, which add

Here the junior class colOrs. orange

The cOlOrs of both classes were pref

social functions to be remembered by
the Juniors as Of special delight.

AN UNFAIR POSITION.

We think that the county attorney is
Sinking his duty when he declines to
prosecute liquor cases in this city, and
demands that the city commissicn shall
pass ordinances under which the city
can do the prosecuting itself. lie urges
the recent decision of the State Supreme
Court on this question as binding upon
the city in the direction which he de-
sires.
But the truth is that the Supreme
Court decision was merely permissive in
this direction. The city may pass such
ordinances if it desires: but in every
case it must be guided strictly in those
ordinances by the State law. There
was no suggestion Of compulsion i'll the
Supreme Court decision upon any city to
pass such ordinances, The decision
merely went TO the point that when Il
city did pass such ordinances it should
enforce them itself through the usual
legal processes.
There is no obligation on the part of
this city to pass any such ordinances, nor
to assume the burdens of enforcing the
laws. The prosecutions clearly lie in
the district courts under the State
statutes. This is seen the more clearly
when we consider that the district
courts have original participation in the
granting Of licenses, the examination of
applications therefor, and approving of
the bonds that are offered by tho pro-
posed sellers of liquor The matter is
very largely taken out of the hands of
the municipality by the State law. In.
deed, to so great an extent has this
been done, that there are those who
argue that the city commission hasn u
even the right to refuse to grant a
license when the court has approved of
the application and of the bonds
Under these circumstances, TO say
that the city is the rightful and lawful
originator OF these prosecutions, espe-
cially when it has no ordinances that
baseless in fact and in law; and when
r county attorney announces that he
will refuse to do his plain duty under
the statutes and his oath of office, and
uses that threat to bring pressure to
bear upon the city commission TO pass
the ordinance which he desires to have
passed, it is time 10 call a halt; and if
the county attorney should undertake
to ignore his duty in this, no doubt a
court mandamus would bring him to his
senses

A PRELIMINARY CONVENTION.

There had been nothing said for sc
long with regard to the project Of hold
| ing a Republican National convention
next fall, preliminary to the active pol
itics of the succeeding year in electlng
new Congress. that we supposed the
general public had rather lost sight OF
the proposition, thinking. perhaps, that
| it had been dropped. We are glad TO
see. however, that the project is still
at least a possibility, and that num-
Der of the prominent men are distinctly
in favor of it, and are making prelimi-
nary moves to bring about the consult.
alton convention referred to.
For a great many years there have
been far-sighted Republicans who rec
ognized in the existing basis Of appor.
tionment Of delegates to the Republican
National convention. disastrous pos
sibility for the party. To prove that
this representation is utterly wrong, it
is only necessary TO say that it gives
TO large number of States in the
Union practically the deciding voice in
Republican nominations, when there is
no possibility OF the States from which
those delegates came casting even one
electoral vote for the Republican nomi-
nee. In a number of National convcn-
tions very hard feeling has been created
by reason Of the Influence of those
non productive delegates, and from time
to time efforts have been made to
change the representative ratio and base
the delegations in the National conven-
tions upon the party vtoe, and not upon
representation in Congress, or anything
else that utterly ignores the party Since
1T is party support that it is necessary
to have for the party nominees, and
since the party vote is entitled to repre-.
sentation as Republican vote and that
only, it is a clear case that those who
have wished to change the basis of rep.
resentation were not only on the right
course as matter of equity and fair.
ness. but il is clear that they foresaw
plainly the disastrous results that have
come upon the party by reason of that
representation, results that were liable
to have come at any time.
1t is true that this non-productive del.
egate vote in conventions has ALWAYS
been troublesome. 1t has freely been
charged also with being corrupt. And
yet ii was that particular vote which de
feated Roosevelt last year in the Re-
publican National convention. and for
the first time in its existence did good
service to the party. Usually it has
been handicap and an affliction. But
the events of the year have shown the
alse basis upon which that delegate rep
resentation was accorded, aud it is TO
be hoped that the Republican conference
convention that has been proposed will
be held, so a. to have the delegate repre-.
sentahon put upon the true party
basis, 1t can be held under unusually
good auspices next fall, since. for the

success in this that members of Con.

bill to do away with the affliction and

WANTS A WIDER MARKET.

1t is marvellous that so bright a man
as Speaker Champ Clark should fall
into the ways of foolish talk, such as
he did in his much-applauded appear
ance on the floor of the House on We'd
aesday After the exuberance of his
liubilation over the Democratic ma
.jority in the House and the ability Of
law that they chose, Speaker Clark
stated as reason for passing this
measure, HWe want q wider market for
our surplus products, and that is what
this bill is going to give lis. The
true meaning of that can only be that

foreign manufacturers larger proper

OF this bill.
The throwing away of the assured
and certain home market of this coun-
try, which is the largest, the richest,
and the best of any country in the
world, with the idea that we can go
out and capture other markets that are
now supplied by the products of the
cheaper labor of Europe, is one of
those curious fallacies that reverse all
The old theory was that ga bird in
the hand is worth two in the bush;n
but here we have the bird Of our own
home market absolutely secured for
ourselves and we propose to release
that bird in the hope Of catching an
illusive and poorer bird elsewhere.
1t is astonishing indeed TO see men
who pose rs statesmen take such abso-
lutely absurd positions as this. The
truth is that our foreign market has
been growing under Republican aus
pices by leaps and bounds, To say that
our foreign trade is restricted or in any
why fails us, IS utterly to misunder-
stand or misreprcsent the actual situa-
ton. We have a tremendous and fast
growing foreign trade, and we have this
without surrendering our home market.

greater portion Of this home market.

hope that we may gain an even greater

taken, we arc doing all that we can to

lures by denying them the protection
that they have heretofore enjoyed

have TO wait and see, Prima facie. the

THE DEATH OF MIR. CHARLES.

The death Of the young man, Rodger
D. Charles, is deplorable affiction to
those who knew the young man best
and who trusted him so absolutely. He
was a man Of great promise, of untail-
ing goodness of heart, fidelity to trust,
ability in business, and agreeableness
in social intercourse. He had the prom
ise of a good and useful life before
him, and the cutting off of that prom
ise is grievous to all his many friends.
Mr.. Charles was Of Maryland birth,
and became secretary to Senator
Kearns when the latter was in Wash
ington, and came West in the same ca,
pacity in 1904. During his nine years
residence here he has endeared him
self to those with whom he came in
contact in unusual degree, and his
death will be deplored with keenness

OUR JAPANESE TAsKMAsTER.

1t Is certainly irritating TO read morn
ing after morning in the dispatches that
the Japanese ambassador, Chinda, is
holding our administration to a strict
account, and that he is gopg to demand
explanations here and there about va.
rious matters Of legislation and that he
is going TO require from President Will
son and Secretary Bryan a reply as to
what they intend to do about the Cali
forDia legislation on the anti.alien land
bill.
In taking this position ambassador
Chinda assumes distinctly offensive
role, that cannot fail to be distasteful
to the administration and humiliating
to the American people. IT is certainly
time that the Japanese ambassador
changed his tone and realized that he is
not the master, requiring explanations
and the development of programmes at
his demand. Let us have done with this
sort Of arrogance, and if Embassador
Chlnda wants to communicate any Of his
views to the President Of the United
States, let him do so with the same sort
of courtesy and consideration that other
ambassadors display in presenting their
cases to our Government when they have
anything to present. The tone of over
lordship, Of the master to the subject,
of the superior to the inferior, is get
ting to wear upon the sensibilities Of
the American people, They have had
more than enough of it, and President
Wilson should call an immediate halt
upon all that, sort of arrogant bump

SENATE WILL AMEND.

It is good to see that a Democratic
Senator has notified President Wilson
that the Wilson. Underwood tariff bill
cannot possibly pass in the Senate in
the form in which the House has pu:
lit through The member giving such
notice is Sentaor Hoke Smith of Geor.
gia. He tells President Wilson that
tho bill cannot be passed through the
Senate under the whip and spur, but
that much consideration will be given
to it, and that many amendments must
be made. Senator Smith did not indi-
cate, so far as the report goes. what
the amendments are that he had IN
mind, but undoubtedly tho cotton
schedule will be much modified, and
probably the wool schedule, also, to-
gether, as may be hoped, with the
sugar schedule, and the metal schedule
so far as this relates to lead and zinc.
The report proceeds to say that never
mail and telegraphic correspondence Of
Senators equaled what it is now. Pc
titions and remonstrances against the
rates in the Wilson Underwood tariff
bill are coming 10 Senators by the thou
sands every day. 1t is stated that many
tail, "pointing out the inconsistencies
and the absurdities of the pending
measure And this after the measure
has been uudcr consideration for more
than year, and after President vii.
son has given it his most earnest and
careful attention!
There must be something wrong here.
Either President Wilson is not able to
franc a tariff measure that will meet
the practical needs of the country, or
else thousands OF people are woefully
mistaken. We believe that these thou
sands are not mistaken. and that Pres
idcnt Wilson, well meaning as he may
be, starts from academic and theoreti
cal positions, and those do not fit the
actual facts of the case. Right there,
in our Judgment, is the secret Of the
whole matter. President Wilson has
certain theories about free trade, such
as college professors and principals Of
ten have. and these theories work out
like clock work in the text books and
in the propositions and theorcms which
the academicians use in demonstrating
their theories. But the trouble is that
those theories have little or no rela-
ton to the actual markets and indus
tries, or to commerce and trade. They
are theoretical distractions, as much
SO as any theories in metaphysics, and
while the conditions would work out
as the school professors dem
oDstrate TO their satisfaction, if the
actual conditions of markets and trade
ct into those theories, the fact that
they do not so ft upsets the whole
theory and wholly vitiates the demon
;tratiou.
1t is noteworthy that a large num-
Der of those protests and detailed re-
nonstrapces come from the Southern
States. This is the most hopeful fea
,ure of the whole situation. We arc |
rlad indeed TO see these remonstrances
rom the South. They indicate re-
Weakening of the old protectionist sen
iment Of that section, and the fact |
hat that sentiment is awakening and |
baking itself free from Democratic |
