Herald Subscribers
Attention Please

Beginning January /, 1926, The Herald will
adopt the Cash Subscription Policy, it being the
only practical and businesslike method. 1t is the
method now employed by virtually all of the larger
papers and periodicals. 1t is the only policy that is
fair to both the subscribers and the paper.
Any credit policy, whether it be for six months
or six years, results in a heavy percentage of loss on
delinquent subscription accounts 60 to so per cent?
besides costing much time and postage for notices,
and time for changing mailing lists and keeping ac-
counts. This loss is so great that a small institution
like a country newspaper cannot bear it.
Under the Cash in Advance plan we will not be
compelled to ask those who pay promptly to make
up some of the loss caused by those who do not pay
at all. Many subscribers have advised us to adopt
the cash policy. We can and will, therefore, reduce
the price of The Herald from the present rates of
$3.50 and $500 per year to the following permanent
schedule Of prices:
One Year ..----------------- $500 or $40
Of paid on or before date of expiration, $500; if
special notices have to be sent and a name taken
off and put back on, $2.25.)
Six Months $125
Three Months Observation-Disclosures S .65
Outside Montana
(On account of zone postage)
One Year $3.50
Six Months $1.40
Three Months .-...-----.-.-.-. S .75
Subscribers will be reminded of the expiration
of their subscription by rubber stamp on the papers
margin or wrapper and otherwise. Full subscription
information will always be found at the top of the
editorial page.

The commonest dniusion of the
commentators is that the actual

One goes for the "llfe" or the

This may have had its justifica-
ton, once, when men went to col
lege of Greek, Latin, and mathema-
tics and then graduated into a world
of farms, groceries and politics.
Not that there was .Asense. even
then, in forgetting Greek, Latin and
mathematics, provided they had been
really learned.
The man who "forgets his Latin"
is the man who never really knew
Latin.
And if Latin was worth learning.
it was worth remembering.

them meaning. But, when educa-
ton was remote from life certain

in life could be understood.
Not so. now.
Education now is either directly
vocational, to learn things that are
going to be used, or it is a part Of
that general background Of knowl-
edge without which the particular
things of practical life lack meaning
and relationship.
The vocational part needs no argu-
ment. The engineer must remember
the technical foundations of his
trade, the lawyer should remember
some law, and the commercial grad
uate has been taught facts that he
will use in business.
But it is equally true Of the "cul-
tural" work Why study history

Why study French, unless all you

Why study economics, unless eco.

Young MIR. La Toilette Wins
Duluth Herald

Robert Marion La Toilette, Jr.. the of his
father, swept Wisconsin yesterday in the Republi-
primaries, winning the Republican nomination
for United States senator to succeed his sire by "a
vote far greater than the combined vote of his three
opponents, and than twice great that
of his chief opponent, Mr. Wilcox, who was the Of
fetal Republican candidate.
1t is no trouble to anayze the Wisconsin situation
in the light of this result.
The fact is that only few southeastern counties
of Wisconsin are Republican. The rest of the state
is just-La Toilette, with the name borne by the
as powerful slogan as it was when it was
borne by the father
AS for the Democrats their vote was so slight
that they may not even have succeeded in getting a
candidate for the election of September 20.
Nor is there much use in bewailing the situation.
If the people of Wisconsin want the kind of po-
litical and economic doctrine that goes with the
name of La Toilette, that is precisely the kind of
political and economic doctrine they entitled
to have.
There is, perhaps, moral issue involved in the
practice of using the Republican label a candi-
date representing that doctrine, but apparently that
is legal enough under the Wisconsin primary cleo
ton law.
Fortunately for the country at large, the con
tagon Of this doctrine is closely confined The
country at large had chance to catch it in the
last presidential election if it susceptible an
it proved to be mmune-strkingly immune
Possibly another story would be told by tle voters
who stayed away; yet if these voters had any story
to tell, any interest in the welfare of their state
and country, any ideas whatever anything OF
any consequence, surely they would have gone to
the polls.
Last November Wisconsin cast nearly nine hun
dred thousand votes on the presidency Yesterday
they cast less than 1876 the senatorship
So whatever label put upon Wisconsin yester
day put there by minority
The majority, apparently, put upon it label o.
Indifference and neglect which far more
dangerous than anything that any La Toilette o.
any Debs or Foster can offer,

Editorial Comment
Smith and Tammany Win
est. Paul Dispa tch)

Nomination of state Senator James j. Walker for
Mayor of New York forecast but there is no
blinking the significance Of the margin of his vic
tory. Politically the result of the New York demo
cratic primaries may prove the most important de-
veopment in the metropolis in decade.
Tammany demonstrates dramatically the magni-
tudc of its power; it is able to turn upon it's own
creature and throw him from office he has held
for years, overwhelming the personal ma
chine built up during that time.
But perhaps choice of it's candidate for OF
the most important political posts in the country
is less of victory for Tammany, even in view of
circumstances enumerated. than personal triumph
for Governor Al Smith For the Smith-IIearst feud
not only overshadowed the Hylan Tammany fight
in New York. It possessed a potentiality for po-
lcal consequences which transcribed local limi
ttons. The result, personal triumph for Smith,
scarcely fail to affect the aspirations of the
governor who now becomes. more than ever before,
the outstanding figure in the Democratic party
New York is well rid of the services of Mayor
IIylan. His manager is quoted as saying he is
through with politics. That is well. American poll
tics will lose little by Of his permanent re-
tirement, if indeed that comes to pass When it
is remarked that his administration thor
oughly bad that even Tammany could not stomach
it, basis is provided for estimate of its worth.
Methods utilized in choice OF their candidate
for the office which, in point of salary, ranks next
to that Of President Of the United States, not
natering to the Democratic party in New York.
They provided rbald entertainment, sensationalism,
a few contributions to ultra modern conceptions Of
"practical politics." but they did less than nothing
toward elevating the plane of politics in New York
When IIylan seized the radio and other municipal
ppurtenances for personal political usage opponents
made a point of fair play" Maybe he knew what
they were talking about and maybe he didn't For
so long it has been dormant in New York politics.
OF course the dsaffection among the Democrats
will not be without consequences in the final cleo
ton. But those, at this writing, it is too early to
| estimate.
