Editor Bjornson writes in his
Mlnneota Mascot about Judge
Oscar Hallam as follows:
The editorial attack in the
Pioneer Press, of Nov. 18th, on
Judge Hallam is something un-
worthy of that paper
The article states that Judge
Hallam is making a campaign
from the bench for the office of
United States Senator against
Senator Kellogg. 1t states that
attorneys are afraid to say that
they are for Kellogg because
they fear that cases they have in
the Supreme Court will thereby
be jeopardized. II calls upon
Judge Hallam to resign his place
on the bench and then. as if to
cap the climax of iniquity. it
says that Judge Hallam's candi-
dacy seems to have enlisted the
energetic support of many of
those formerly active in the
Townley campaigns"
Horrors! That last shot would
surely put Oscar Hallam out Of
the running!
Of course, the Pioneer Press is
for Kellogg and it has a perfect
right to be that. Moreover. it
need make no apologies for it's
stand.
But. in the interests Of decen-
cy and fair play the Pioneer
Press should not employ the tao
ties that it does against the
Judge.
There is not more square.

CoAdftions Growing WorAe.
Mayor OCal}aghan said that condi-
tions in Ireland were daily growing
worse and that no man was safe from
arrest by the British military at pres
ent. He dated the present reign of
terror from the inauguration of Lord

anu SalO tn2t tue present state of al
fairs was due entirely to the assump-
ton Of public administration. by the
republican party of Ireland, declaring
that such assumption had gradually
grown since the election Of 1913.
He explained the gradual consump-
tion Of the various local government
boards. which are appointed by the

Ereann. until today twen1y-nine out
of the thiHty-two counties in ireland
have sworn allegiance to the repub-
ffcan form OF government.

ent movement in Ireland was a young
mans movement, and nAititained this
WAs conclusive proof Of it's solidarity.

tion question in hts country and said
that it was almost impossible for
England to collect any taxes from the
Irish people today. In explaining
the method of grants formerly issued
by England to the people of Ireland
to conduct their public administra-
ton. Mr.. OCallaghan declared that
England had always kept about
e20, 900 in excess of the grants she gave

Tor Harding plainly is in need of the
rest lie is soon to take. There are
new lines in the senator's always
earnest face His hair has become
distinctly whittier.
The winter in Marion has been one
of the mildest ever known. There have
been but one or two cold spells and
but two snowstormS worthy of the
name. Nevertheless, outdoor exercise
has been impossible for Senator Hard
ing. This is largely due to the fact
that the senator himself has made up
the Office schedules which have work
ed such hardship upon him. He has
thought It best to work hard and then
to play hard.
In making up his schedule of work
and conference. however. Senator
Harding did not expect the task OF
selecting cabinet would prove SO
vexatious There is no question but
that he has met with some disap-
pointments in the consideration OF
cabinet material and these have add
ed considerably to his worries. The
aen&tor bas strouBSeense OF loyatt3
toward his friends and, seeing nc
faults in them himself, has been, loath
to believe the criticisms which have
been placed before him.

|5|(CENT WHEAT
TARIFF PROPOSED
Senator McCumber Would
Stop lmportations
From Canada.

TO stop enormous importations OF
Canadian wheat" Senator McCumoer'
republican, North Dakota. announced
today that he would ask for a tarin
Of probably SO cents a bushel on wheat
to be included in the Fordney emer-
gency tariff bill. instead OF the duty
of 30 cents carried by the measure as
1t passed the House.
The senator's announcement was
made in connection with lengthy
statement which he put into the rec
ord OF hearings on the Fordney meas
urc before the Senate finance commit
tee. and In which he charged that mar
kcts in the United States had been
giutted by the Canadian products. ne
declared that there yet remains more
than l5O, ,00O.OO0 bushels OF Canadian
wheat for export, and, considering the
difference in exchange between tnc
two countries. he feared ruin OF the
American wheat farmer unless par.
rier ia laid against further Cutting or
our markets..
Mr.. McCumber vigorously attacked
portiony of the House bill as being
discriminatory against the wheat pro-
"if this measure is unjust, the
senator continued. 1T should be
amended. I think the measure on
wheat is unjust and ] propose to
insist on an amendment. ! do not
believe that an import duty OF so
cents a bushel would increase the
costs of u loaf of bread one iota.
