MORE RAINBOW CHASING

Again there is talk of a "perm-
anent, non-partisan, scientific Tariff. -
These are impressive, but meaning
less, phrases. No Tariff, in the ma
ture of things, can be "permanent;' -
rates must be changed to meet chang
ing conditions. No Tariff can be ''non-
partisan" because there are two
political parties in this country, one
of which believes in Protection and
the other does not, and all economic
questions upon which parties differ
are necessarily in the realm of pol
itics in a republic. There is no such
thing as a scientific Tariff. because
there is no exact science of Tariff
making, and there will always be CON
flicting interests to adjust which will
make every Tariff bill a compromise.
No one ever gets anywhere by fooling
himself in the consideration of prac-
teal problems, and mere phrase max
ing settles no public question. What
the people of this country voted for
and want is a good, stiff Protective
Tariff, measuring in its rates the diff
ference in cost of production at home
and abroad. Protection doesn't mean
a Tariff nall everyone has to sell
and no Tariff on all everyone wants
to buy; a good deal Of the talk about
scientific and non-partisan Tariffs Is
based upon the theory that such a
thing can be brought about if only
we viii do enough heavy thinking on
the. Tariff Observation-Disclosures Ma

TransIatlons Of Poe.

It appears from the biography
appended to the definitive edition OF
Poe that between 1890 and 1895 there
were made at least ten translatiOns of
his works in various foreign Ian
guages. What could have brought
about such a remarkable result? In
a word, it must be Poe's unique genius
his intense originality, which he's
hardly been paralleled in literary his
tory, and his indefnable, inimitable
charm of manner. which appeals not
simply to men of one particular cline
or country, but to all men everywhere.

The American "Santa Claus is a

G. ii. McHughes says: Santa Claus,
the name derived from Saint Nicholas
through the familiar use of children in
TeutOnic countries, crossed to Ameri-
ca. The direct route followed by him
is somewhat open to question On the
way he traded his gray horse for a
reindeer and made changes in his ap-
pearance."

Earth's Glacial Period.

Biologists base their statements con-
corning the existence OF the glacial
period mainly upon evidence in the
form Of boulder clay and various other
forms Of deposits. The first scientific
references to glacial action were sug-
gested by the Alpine regions and are
TO be found in the works of Charpen-
tier and -Aggasiz. Man did not exist
prior and during the early part Of the
glacial period. The first evidence of
his existence is to be found In the
later glacial period.

FRIDAY NIGHT
HEAVY SCHEDULE AHEAD FOR Sd. SC.
Coaches West and Enke Are Printing
Their Men for Contest With
Columbus Tomorrow

The college basketball season is
now in full swing. the first game Of
the new year being played last Fri
day night at the armOry with the
team of Madison Normal. The game
resulted in a "a to 10 victory for the
Ja~ckrabbits. The score would have
been much larger if State had been
UP to her usual form, but the long
hard trips of the Christmas vacation
and the hard schedule Of games play
ed showed their effects on the men.
Coach West used Is men in the game,
Captain Thune, Thompson, Shuttle,
Welch, Carey. Johnson. T.. Thine.
Owens, Frank Coffey. Bob Coffey,
Seaman, Lee, Kruger. The Nor
malites were o~utclassed in all depart
ments. Carey. Welch, Johnson and
Bob Coffey did all the scoring for
State, while Madison men depended
almost entirely upon Rensvold.

We're evident last Friday night are

rabbits will be back in better form
than ever tomorrow night when they

known Of the Sioux Falls team ex-
cept that they finished the season
last year with a team ranking among
the best in the conference, and they
have the same team this season with
the addition OF a few other good men.
State college basketeers are facing
a schedule of strong teams which, il
defeated, would give the J%ackrabbits
the champion Of four states. For the
past two years the State college team
has stood supreme in South Dakota
but has not been able to defeat North
Dakota university. which team boasts
of being indicated for the past three
years. The two champions in the
Dakotas will meet at Grand Forks ON
February Is.

has had a winning quint during the
last five years meets the State college
hoop men at Omaha, January 81, and

will try conclusions with State, Jan
nary 20 and "a, on the formers floor.
The game with the University of
South Dakota at Vermillion on March
1 will be closely contested as usual.
During the time that Coach West has
directed the athletic contests at State
college. State has scored 1863 points
against the university's SO, although
the university has won most of the
games on her floor by a 8 or 4 point
margin.
The Jackrabbits will meet the Morn
ingside college team of Sioux City
for the first time in several years on
March 2. No game has been schedul-
ed with Wesleyan university, Mitchell,
and unless the university or Huron
college can trim the Wesleyanites,
State may have to meet them in a
post season game.

DEFEATED BY IROQUOIS

Brookings high school basketball
team suffered a defeat at the hands
OF the powerful Iroquois high school
team at Iroquois last Friday night by
a score of IA to Z. The game was
much closer than the score indicates.
AT the end of the first half Brookings
was in the lead by a three point mar
gin with clear prospects for an easy
victory, but the ~IroQuois boys put on
a burst of speed and kept Brookings
from scoring in the last half except
for n free throw. Iroquois found
the cage for five baskets and one free
throw. BY winning this game, Iro-
Quois made a record of eleven con-
secutive victories. Hutchendorf
starred for Brookings, making every
point scored by the local team.

The state of trade over the country
as reported by Bradstreet's for last
week was quiet. Post-Holiday Fea-
lures rule, but numerous signs of
Awakening found. Reduction sales
feature retail lines, and cold weather
is helping. Southern trade slow. Raw
wool active and prices bouyant. More
doing in cottons in primary lines.
Coal slightly better, but far below
other years. Auto trade
assumptions. Steel trade cheerful.
Car orders better despite large idle
equipment. Crude oil lower and pro-
ductios large. Paint and brush men
optimistic. Stock, grain and cotton
markets irregular. Bradstreet's price
index as of January 1 higher. Many
markets lack form. but stocks are
not large, liquidation is regarded as
thorough and tone is fairly cheerful
as year begins.
