1t is a mystery to many why the
enactment of a protective tariff law
has been "stalled off" for so many
months and why there is so much op-
position now to the passage of such a
law as would be actually protective in
the present state of foreign labor and
exchange. One of the fundamentals
of the republican faith is that pro-
tective tariff sufficient to equalize the
cost of production at home and abroad
should. obtain.

RAMSEY COUNTY IN DISGRACE

RAMSEY aCOUNIY IN U1SdNANE.
Ramsey county is in deep disgrace.
She is in disgrace not because of the
reports concerning clever juggling in
the apportionment Of the county dele
gates by the city and county commit
tee so as to give the Hallam forces
every possible advantage, not because
the steam roller was brought into &C
ton at the county convention, but be-
cause of the following brilliant tele-
gram sent to Frank Kellogg Saturday
evening:
"To the Hon. Frank B. Kellogg,
United States Senator, Washing
ton, D. G..
Dear MIR. Kellogg: In view Of the
fact that your home county in repubh-
can convention assembled, today in
structed by vote of 154 to 80, it's ~
delegates to the forthcoming state
endorsement convention to vote fol-
your townsmen, Judge Oscar Hallam
for senator, and in further view OF
the fact that reports from over the
state indicate that Judge Hallam will
be the man Endorsed at the convention
and that political ethics and gooc
craftsmanship require it, we believe
that in the interests of harmony anc
for the good of the republican party
YOU should withdraw from the sena'
torial race in favor Of Judge Hallan
and thus insure the success of your
party at the polls.
FLAMES Schoonmaker, chairman
George M. Landon, secretary; Ram
sey county republican convention
and seventy (70) instructed dele
gates to republican state conven
tion."
It would hardly seem that the chair
man, the secretary or the 70 instructed
delegates are in any position to dis
cuss good sportsmanship and politica
ethics. If they are gentlemen of good
judgment, they certainly must have
been carried away by the excitemen
of the hour when they presumed tt
think that they and their political as
socieates were big enough to dictate
to the republicans of the state of Min
nesota whom they should choose fo7
their candidate for the United States
senate. Do those II men think tina
their vote outweighs that Of oil othe
republicans in this state? Do thos
men think that Frank B. Kellog|
would be so negligent of the dutie
and responsibilities Of his high offic
as to turn deaf ear to the call o
800 delegates in this state and Civ
attention to the presumptious deman
of only " men from Ramsey county |?
On March 81 those ~ men will re
ceive an answer to their telegram an
it will be delivered by some 800 dele
gates who prefer to reserve the RICH
of choosing their own candidate fo
United States senator without any If
reference from Ramsey county.

few seasons back, but of late has

Western League Meets

Nothing more concerning the status
of baseball in Lincoln or Denver was
unfolded yesterday. No word was
received by either Secretary Mike
Fins of the local club or Barney

will hold meeting in Denver Mon
day to consider that city as mem
ber of the circuit this season. -.
According to club owners, it VII
cost in the neighborhood OF S2a,0Oo
to put team in Lincoln. This, OF
course, would include the erection OF
a ball park, training camp, and the
necessities besides the initial cost OF
the franchise. The league asks
$4,000 for the franchise.
Lincoln, it is understood will not
pay $4,000 to put a Western team
in that city, so Denver appears to be
in line for the franchise, should the
Mile High City" prove to the league
that it would be an asset to the cr-
cult rather than a liability.

year that one can not practice high
Jumping, so why wait until May to
begin learning the form?
The above reasons hold true in
pole yaulting, for the question of

and should be practiced young. SO
many boys try to vault with their
two hands held apart on the pole.
This style OF form will never carry
you higher than 10 feet 6 inches.
