become emDrOlIoQ, IL would seem
a small virtue in us to have kept
out Of war with an ocean be-
tween us and Europe.
Questions Unsettled
Mr.. Kellogg also proved that
the questions which have arisen
from the war are still unsettled :;
the ships which have been con-
demned on suspicion, the opened
mails, the boycotted citizens and
the loss of American lives and
property have all aroused prob
lens as yet unsolved.
Mr.. Kellogg stated we were
not prepared for foreign war
and that it was highly undesir-
able that we should be. He is
not in favor of militarism or of
a great standing army, but is
desirous of a sufficient standing
army to protect American citi-
zens and American territory
without calling upon unframed
and unprepared national guards
men to do it. The United States
has spent upon her military
equipment since 1900, millions
of dollars more than Germany,
the best equipped nation in the
world. The money has been ex-
pended by old slipshod methods,
much of it for patronage in the
various congressional districts.
Discusses Tariff
Mr.. Kellogg's discussion of
the tariff was the most master
full and convincing ever heard
from a Redwood Falls platform.
He contrasted most logically the

Democratic "tariff for revenue
only" as demonstrated in the
Underwood bill, with the Repub-
Iican principle of tariff for pro-
lection of American trade and
American industries. He showed
conclusively that the Underwood
bill had been particularly detri-
mental to the farmer of the
northern states, while it had
been of benefit to the cotton
growers of the south.
The Democrats realize that,
after the close of the war, when
European products are again
thrown upon the American mar
ket, and Mr.. Kellogg made it
very clear to his listeners that
it was quite essential this revi-
sion be along protective lines
rather than revenue lines. There
is no question of European trade
being value.ess after the war
Germany is already placing or
ders for American raw material
for use in her factories which
have been unharmed by the war,
and the allied countries have
formed a commercial alliance
for the purpose of promoting the
trade of these countries against
all other countries. The trade
situation will, is Mr.. Kellogg's
belief, be a serious one, and the
protective tariff is a national
necessity.
Another Bad Bill
Mr.. Kellogg also criticized the
Shipping Bill passed by the last
Congressman passed only af-
ter freight rates on grain from
New York to Liverpool had been
increased from 4 cts. per bus.
to 40 cts. to S1.10. The fifty

TH0MAS C. 4ALBREATH.

Many residents Of Hartford will recall
with tinge Of sadness the pleasant
friendship which grew up between them
and T. c. Galbreath during his brief
term hs County School Superintendent
and will cherish the sympathetic inter
est they showed in his welfare during
away land for the past dozen years,
only to wage a losing battle against
the great white plague. "
Prompted by bright mind and n
laudable ambition. Mr.. Galbresth enter.
ed upon the battle Of life with high
hopes for his future. and had his health
permitted he would have doubtless met
with high measure OF success. Sound
in principles, scholarly in tastes, win.
life, he was calculated to influence for
good those with whom he was thrown.
Probably the best feature of his short
but well spent life was the way in
which he accepted the Divine verdict
that all of his proposed future must for
some inscrutible reason be laid aside
for cause and home not of his own
choosing,
Like the hero who dies hard, he has
made stubborn fight from his noun.
tain home; and, as opportunity offered.
has tried to teach others how to escape
the clutches Of disease which lays
hands on it's victim with relentless
power.
The sincere sympathy of many friends
is extended to his family, whose love
for him seemed to know no limits, and
whose efforts to minister to his com.
fort were limited only by their oppor.

RAILROAD WAGES.

The popular advertisement recently
appearing on the above subject de.
serves the most careful scrutiny and
thought of all readers, not because
all, or even most Of them, are hold.
ers OF railroad bonds, but because all
are deeply interested in the success or
failure of this line Of industry which
40 vtally touches every home in the
union that our nation and state have
specially provided for their fair treat
ment
A study OF the figures submitted
would seem to prove not only that rail
road employees are receiving n generous
proportion "a per cent? of the total
earnings of railroads; but that the
average salaries Of Engineers, sl796.
Conductors, $l72i. Firemen, $l033 and
brakemen. $l0lS, are most liberal in
amount.
1t is plain that roads cannot pay high.
er wages to employees without collect
ing more money from their customers,
unless they are now diverting AN undue
proportion of their revenue to other
purposes, and hence any increase must
come from the pockets of patrons. just
who il right and who il wrong in this
great issue il would be impossible for
any but experts to determine; but the
roads greatly strengthen their side of
the case when they urge that the
matter be mutually laid before the
Interstate Commerce Commission for
settlement, and employees equally
weaken theirs in the great court of
public opinion when they decline to do
30.
In the meantime employees are voting
from day To day whether or not they
will authorize their representatives to
tie up commerce until their demands
have been granted. and the whole
country is liable to be paralyZed at
time when less than at any other in its
history it could afford it. Few organi.
cations can for any length Of time stand
against the intelligent public opinion of
this nation and now is the time for
public opinion to show itself 1t will
be too late to provide against strike
