The “County Chairman,” in the St. Paul Dispatch, says of one feature of gubernatorial “possibilities:” “Beware the Greeks bearing gifts” cannot but appeal to Ripley Brower, who is just now the recipient of con- siderable free gubernatorial advertis- ing emanating from democratic sources. There is no discrediting Ripley’s ability to fill the place, but no one as yet has heard that the St. Cloud man was even considering mak- ing the race. The ounly two so far picked as aspirants for the honor are A. O. Eberhart, of Mankato, an avowed candidate, and R. C. Dunn, picked as one, but whose movements up-to- date have been a puzzle to all who are watching the game. Eberhart’s trail is easy to follow, but he is a wise one who gets next to the moves of the Princeton man CAUSTIC COMMENT. A. G, Rutledge.] There should be no friction in our little city. ‘There should be a mutual interest in the prosperity of our people. When we note indifference to the well being of its citizens, we note a town all wise men shun. Success and failure are each a part of life, and often those who have made the hardest fight are van- quished in the race. Be a “booster” for your home town; get your shoul- der to the wheel and help the will- ing fellows who are trying to build up a successful community for the benefit of you and 1. While the trusts by extortion increase living expenses, there is no economy in bachelorhood. From an economic point of view, it is far easier to get along with a wife than without one. An old bachelor, who can prosper in this monopoly-ruled age, is a bird, whether he can exhibit any pinfeathers or not. CONFEREES DISPOSE ~ OF WOOL SCHEDULE Reductions Are Made In Only .. Three Instances. “¥ashington, July ).—The confer- ees on the tariff bill have agreed to a reduction of 5 per cent in the Ding- ley rate on women’s and children’s dress goods made of cotton warp. ‘When the conference adjourned for luncheon three changes in the wool schedule had been agreed upon. All of these reductions, the lower duty on women’s and children’s dress goods, were made on woolen fabries welgh- ing four ounces or over to the square yard and woven into cotton warp. A reduction of 5 per cent was also made in the duty on yarns valued at 30 cents a pound or les The duty on tops, which was finally decided upon, was made in accord- ance with the reduced duty on yarns and is in proportion to the difference in cest of mannfacture between © scoured wool and cpun yarns. By adopting these three changes the con- ference committee has disposed of the entire wool schedule, the other duties agreed upon being the same as those of the cxisting law. RIVER DAM IS DYNAMITED Farmers Who Want to Drain Meadow Lands Suspected. Alexandria, Minn., July 9.—The dam at the head of the Long Prairie river, which is the outlet of the fresh water lakes in the vicinity of Alexan- dria, has been dynamited, supposedly by farmers living ncar Lake Carlos, ‘who want to lower the lake and drain the meadow lands along its shores. This structure is a rough dam of rocks, placed there to hold the lakes at the summer stage.

Washington, July 1 i—President Taft’s emphatic declaration that he regarded the Republican platform as maaning, and the sentiment of the whol¢ people as demanding, “revision downward” eclipsed in Interest all minor and specific details of the tariff struggle in all circles here. gation of congressmen had appealed to the president for the maintenance of protection upon raw materials, par- ticularly iron ore, wool, hides, oil and lumber, pixgorted to be an outline re- port of the discussion which took place during the visit of the delega- tion and especially of what the presi- dent said to the visitors; but the very fact that such a statement was issued at all and, in particular, the emphatic conclusion of the remarks of the pres- ident thus reiterated made it clear to all who studied the pronouncement that the president intended it virtually as an ultimatum. Many read into the statement a barely concealed threat on the part of the president that it the bill reached him in a form which he re- garded as unfaithful to the promises of his party and disobedient to the sentiment of the mass of the people he would veto it. Talk Freely in Confidence. Few of the prominent members of elther house of congress would dis- Guss the statement for publication and fhost of the utterances intended for Quotation were of a perfunctory char- agter; but in confidence many talked lfinly and some of the conservatives vety bitterly; some went so far as to say that the president’s stand meant nothing less than the defeat of the bill altogether. One man sald: “Now the standpatters will become the in- surgents; the lines will all have to be reformed and nobody can forecast the outcome.” Those less excitable inclined to the view thgt the president had simply made a ’ong foreseen move essential to the “logic of the game” and-that it would mean the speedy dissolution of the opposition to downward revision and the termination of the long fight with the bill at last in the president’s hands substantially as he has all along desired and Intended it should be. The conferees of the two houses are adjusting their differences with a rea- donable degree of rapidity. They have been in session for about a week and havé made quite as much progress as the more conservative of them had expected they would. Shifts Soene of Controversy. The fact that the president has taken so positive a stand has had the effect of shifting the controversy from the two branches of congress between themselves to tlie president and con- &resg as a whole. From this time for- it looks as if the question would he, not what the house will concede to the genate or the senate to the house, but how much the president will de- mand and how much the conferees can concede and still make sure of the acceptance of the conference report by the two houses of congress. It 18 & good natured fight, but it 1s a fight. The great difficully of meeting the president’s demands, if they are as extreme in the direction of free raw matextal as is feared by those inter- ested, will be encountered in the sen- ate, where the raw material states have greater proportionate representa- tlon and where there i8 ho cloture rule. In the house, as a- whole, the tendemcy 18 toward the president’s position, but some of the house con- ferees lean toward the senatorial view. MINERS “ INTEND TO FIGHT WIill Resist Proposed Reduction of Wages In Pennsylvania. Pittsburg, Kan, July 1r—Thomas L. Lewis, national president of the United Mine Workers of America, has left here for the Central Pennsylvania coal mining district. “The operators there have given notice of a reduction of 11 cents a ton in the mining rate,” said Mr. Lewis. “We will resist it to the bitter end. Before they can establish such a re- duction they must wipe out of exist- ence every local miners’ union in Cen- tral Pennsylvania.” ‘Warrants for Bankers' Arrest.

BIG MEETING OF STRIKERS HELD Men at McKees Rocks, Pa, Effectually Organized. Pittsburg, July )—For the first time since the inauguration of the strike of the employes of the Pressed Steel Car company at McKees Rocks an effectual attempt on the part of the strikers to organize themselves into some semblance of order was brought about during & meeting held on the famous Indian mound, near the cay company's plant. The meeting of the strikers was peaceable and quiet. Orators asked the men to be patlent and exercise judgment in whatever was said or done. Cheers greeted the remarks of the speakers, who were of different nationalities and spoke in several lan. guages. A fair gized fund was raised at the mound meeting. Strikers and their sympathizers made donations of from $1 to $5 to a general account to be used in fighting the car company for at least & month. The situation is summed up in the statement of a lieutenant of constabu- lary, who said: “I am thoroughly convinced that for the present we have the riot tide on the ebb. 1 anticipate no further trouble for a time. We are prepared for a long siege here and intend to put down the mob spirit that seems to pervade these strikers. This we ‘will do if we remain here all summer.” TOUCHES NEW HIGH RECORD | Union Pacific Stock Goes to 1973 on Heavy Sales.

TRIBESMEN ARE DISSATISFIED Threaten Remewal of War- fare at Teheran. - MAY SEIZE THE THRONE WILL NOT .PLEAD GUILTY 8ugar Trust Officials Deny Report in Circulation. New York, July 1'.—It was denled here that there was any truth In the report that pleas-of guiity would be entered by the American Sugar Refln- ing company, or its officials, to the federal indictments against them al- leging violation of the Sherman anti- Bore Brunt of Fighting In and About the Persian Capital and Were Prac- tically Disregarded In ‘the Forma tion of the New Government Twelve-Year-Old Son of Deposed Ruler Proclaimed Shah. Teheran, July 1.4—Conditions are most threatening, despite the procla: mation of the nationalist parliament deposing Mohammed All and naming his twelve-year-old, second son, Ah med Mirza, as shah, with Azad-Ule Mulk, chief of the Kajar royal house, as regent. Three separate partles in opposition to this party are fomenting discontent and grave fears are entertained of a renewal of the guerrilla street war- fare that has eu'nvulsed Teheran for three days. The wild Bakhtiari tribes are the worst trouble makers. They have borne the hiunt of the fighting in and about Teheran since the revolu tlon and they now claim that they have been practically disregarded in the formation of the new provisional government. They joined the rebel- lion hoping to place the control of Persia in the hands of the Southern provinces and determined to make their leader, Sadarasad, the shah, Sadarasad himself declared that he would be shah under the new gov- ernment. He and his tribesmen are practicelly disregarded. Sipahdar, a leader of the Northern rebels, is made governor of Teheran and minister of war and the tribes- men are jealous. They are threaten- ing to seize the throne for Badarasad. The Russian domination of the sit- uation is evident in the placing of Colonel Liakhoff, the Russian officer in charge of the combined force which is policing the city. His appeintment is looked upon as a tacit acquiescence on the part of the ¥ebel leaders in control by Russia. NOT AS LARGE AS REPORTED Loss of Life as Result of Earthquake in Greece.
