CLAIMS r
WILL SUFFER
SENATOR sMOoT ALSO DE.
CLARES TARIFF BILL WILL
GIVE AID TO BEEF BARONS

Washington, ID. C.-Senator Smoot
resumed his argument against the
Underwood Simmons tariff bill in the
Senate today, discussing the first ag-
ricultural schedule.
The provisions of the House bill"
he said "admit meat, hides, wool, etc.
free, while imposing a duty on cattle
and certain other live stock. so clear
ly was this an attempt to deceive the
farmers hat the majority party in
the Senate is to be congratulated for
seeking to make the provisions more
consistent. In doing this, however,
they added to the injury already pro-
vided for by the House and, instead
of making meats, etc, dutiable, the
bill now adds live stock to the free
list with meats free. This will help
to concentrate the control of those
products in the hands of what are
known as the beet barons and will
help small dealers to throttle compe-
%tition. When no duty is imposed, it
will mean discrimination against the
farmer and others raising live stock
in this country"
The Senator said that if meat, etc,
should be admitted free, it was better
tIiil uchCpIiOI DlOuld NC oOhO away
with, and that live stock also should
be permitted to enter free He de-
clared that e%ighty-five per cent of
the corn raised in this country is
used for live stock and the importa-
ton of meats and live cattle would
give a tremendous advantage to
Canada, Mexico and Argentine, at the
expense of American producers, and
will strengthen the grip of the large
packers and probably not reduce the
cost of meats a particle to the con-
sumner
The Senate democrats today de-
clared that few set tariff speeches
would come from their side of the
chamber. Gallinger, leader of the re-
publicans, is in difficulty finding re-
publican Senators ready to speak in
opposition to the bill, following Sen
atOr Smoot.

w. r. G. DINNERS.

Another of the popular birthday
dinners of the Woman's Relief Corps
was given last night to those of the
members whose birthday anniversar-
les come within the quarter of year
preceding. There we're twenty-one,
who were guests of honor at this
time and though they were exempt
from having to assist in the prepara-
ton of the dinner they were called

age. The sum realized, indicates that
most of the guests have reached with
in a few years at least of the half
century marx. But this fact does not
prevent the enjoyment of a good
dinner, such as was prepared and
at the G. A. r. hall. The lad

skill in cooking and there were

ings for the stockholders, in place OF
the humiliating deficit reported for
the last year of operation.
Now a railroad president can
easily weather attacks by the public
and retain the confidence of the
stockholders, who are his real en-
ployers. But when he is shown to
have ~mismanaged the property, to
the detriment of the stockholders, it
is not surprising when, within a
fortnight, he presents his ~resigna-
ton.
Most healthful, then, is the course
followed by the commits
sion. In previous years, monopolistic
schemes, carried on extravagantly,
as was this Of the New Haven, have
gone ~unrebuked. 1T is a larger sense
of responsibility that results in gov
eminent condemnation of such con-
duct by railroad homogeneous.
OF course the plan of the New Ha-
ven system was to use its monopoly
to recoup itself for the exhorbitant
prices paid for some of the properties
bought by it and for the expense of
carrying out the consolidation
scheme. All of this waste was TO go
into the capital upon which the pub
lie was to be forced, through the
monopoly obtained, to pay returns.
Well indeed, it is that the commission
has put a stop to the scheme before
it was carried to the point from which
there could be no return. And better
yet is the fact that the commission
has so branded and east into disre-
pute this style of railroading that
stockholders will hereafter be suspi-
cious of my railroad management
attempting to enter upon a similar
career of financial buccaneering.

METHODIST PICNIC.

Ideal weather conditions contrib
uted much to the success of the IN
nual Sunday school picnic of the
First Methodist Episcopal church

EASY TO BUILD slLOs.
Says the Kimball Graphic:

.n"Now that the farmers and stock
men of the state have begun to
realize the advantage of ssilos there
is"mueha talk and discussion on the
method of constructing them. Many
farmers are rot financially able to
build a really first-class silo nor
the means to- buy the machinery to
fill them. The latter problem will be
met later when there are enough
silos to warrant the purchase of a
machine for general use or hire. The
experimental station lat B%rookings
college is going to build several UNI
foreground silos and report results,
as they are the cheapest to construct
and fill, though unhandy to get at in
removing the contents"
The problem stated by the Kimball
paper is really no problem at all. The
Republican ventures the assertion
that scarcely a single reputable farm
Ter in South Dakota would have II
difficulty in borrowing from his
banker the money required to con
struct a silo. In a recent bankers
meeting in the north part of this
state, it was announced that certain
of the banks had set aside a fund
to loan for the construction of silos.
And when a banker allows it to be
known he is ready to lend money on
a certain class of securities, it is
certain they look pretty good to him.
The reason why almost any bank
er would lend money for this purpose
it that he knows it will practically
double the output of the corn
ground.
A farmer in this county who has
Isilos and who keeps accurate records
reports that his silos made his corn
fields last year produce the equival-
ent of 50 bushels per acre, at 40
cents per bushel. Further, his records
showed that the fodder amounted to
about 60 per ZEN of the money out
put of his corn fields, as shown by
careful records of feeding a large lot
of stock. What kind of a banker
would hesitate to put a stop to the
deliberate waste of over half of the
output of farm land in his vicinity ?
And, really, this does not tell it
all. The farmer makes a good profit
in addition to the value of his ensil-
age, when he puts it into live stock,
| especially if he is a, stock-grower, as
distinguished from a stock-feeder.
1t is ~ demonstrate fact, and The
Republican challenges anybody to
@disprove it, that an average crop of
fodder, without an ear of corn upon
it, if converted into ensilage, will
produce more for the farmer than
the best crop of wheat he can raise.
The farmer, ought to shut his eyes
and build silos. His banker will put
the money in his hands, And when
he opens his eyes again, he will find
the money coming back to him with
the biggest earnings he has received
on any Improvement on his land.

THE VANISHING PATRIOT.

How hath the mighty fallen! Or,
in other words, what has happened?
One certain Nebraskan, made fam
Gus a good many years, ago by the
words of his mouth, undertook to.
make himself still more famous by
becoming the godfather of dollar
dinners. Wearing the plainest OF
black string ties, affecting the severe
garb of the commoner, in all things
appearing to share the privations of
the man who has little, he became
almost a type in himself. Thus capar-
llsoned, and thus conducting his daily
life, it was his privilege-ah, yes. his
privilege!-to lift up his voice and
likewise to speak in behalf of the
poor, d~owntroddent man upon whom
the men of wealth were ~fattening
their p%alnches. Here was indeed the
poor mans friend, the Commoner, the
Jeffersonian, the foe of splendor and
extravaganza, the enemy of all that
is wen scented with luxury.
Presto, change, here-oh.
Political upheaval. Party transfer
nation. Scenes all shift. New hands
all around.
And Great Commoner, he of
the black tie and the voice lachry-
NOSE with sympathetic grief for the
plain man. takes his seat of honor
in the cabinet of the new president.
All, here is virtue rewarded. Here is
a Daniel come to the Judgment
place! Here is incorruptible honesty.
unfeigned simplicity, simon-pure de-
mocraay, enthroned in a place of
power Is. this not v%indication enough
for two decades of labor, for endless
speeches, interminable campaigns
and self-sacrificing expenditures? Is
this not "a spectacle to warm the
heart of every man who longs for
government by the peoples people,
by men who know and feel for the
man on the street? Is not this the
very consummation so ,sdevoutly
wished by every optimist who has be-
lieved it possible to develop a true
Utopia in this money reeking land?
But what-oh, what, has happen-
ed now?
81 This champion Of the people, this
Commoner of the commons, this
loudly advertised disciple. of Jeffer-
son, must leave the duties of his Of
flee and take up a lecture, tour, for
the reason that he cannot pay his
grocery bills and his, eryunt bills
and his clothes bills, and the rest of
the bills for his domestic establish
ment, out of the salary allowed him
by the government.
Surely, then, this salary must be
outrageously low. Surely it is IA per-
fectly puny sum, if it is inadequate
to the needs of this apostle OF the
Simple Life. All, yes. that is it, that
is it! They are wreaking vengence
upon this Man of the People for his
victory. They + Furnishing him by
to starve him by not allowing
him enough to live upon, 1t is again I,
