SUBSGRIPTION---$5.00 PER: YEARiIN ADVANGE One of our newspaper men in dis- cussing the lumber tarriff says that at least the knot holes are on the free list. If he tried to buy:some lumber he would find that the” knot holes are all measured up with' the rest. Nothing free about that, he would soon find. It must have been a lazy:man that invented thelidea that heaven isa place of rest, where a fellow has nothing to do but lay around and listen to the angels sing everlastingly, says the Slayton Gazette. It would seem that kind of existence would soon get awfully tiresome to the good souls that while on earth were always busy going around doing 2ood,.alle- viating pain, or just hustling in the ordinary business. Heaven must be a place of great mental activity. RUMORS OF DEMOCRATIC ACTIVITY. The St. Paul Pioner Press prints the following as a statement .of what the democrats may be doing with relation to possible candidates for governor and other offices: “John C. Wise of Mankato is said to be slated for lieutenant governor on the Democratic ticket next ‘year. Rumor the last few days has been that the Democrats have agreed -on: John Lind for governor and that they propose to make it so strong that he cannot refuse the nomina- tion. “Wise is the editor of the Mankato Review and last year was one of the delegates from Minnesota to the Democratic national .conven- tion of Denver. Placing him.on the ticket is considered a strategic move, as he comes from the same place as Gov. Eberhart. It isin- tended to take away from Eberhrat much of the support which would naturally come ‘to him from voters in his own section if he were the only candidate on either ticket from that county and locality. “The slate is contingent upon the nomination of . Gov. Eberhart by the; Republicans. If they nominate another man, the Democrats may change their plans. “George E. Hanscom of Foley, a banker, is being urged by a number of his friends to become a candidate for state treasurer in case C. C. Dinehart decides to run for congress in the-Second district. Hanscom has a wide acquaintance.” EX-JURIST FINED FOR ~ASSAULT IN GOURT. Leading St. Lous Atforney Must Pay $500 and Apologize. St. Louls, Nov. »—H. 8.

LA FOLLETTE Senator Writes on “Disgrace of Cotton Sche{iule.” DUTIES HIGHER THAN EVER :{Charges That Under the Provisions of the Payne Bill the: Protective Policy Becomes a Plurder Policy—De- clares the Tariff Law Recently En- acted Increases Rates on Cotton Goods 25 Per Cent. Madison, Wis,, Nov. As—Charging that the cotton schedule in the Payne- Aldrich tariff ‘bill ‘permits the protec- tive policy to become a plunder policy United States Senator La Follette de- nounces that schedule bitterly in this week’'s issue of La Follette’s Maga- gine. TUnder the caption “T'he Dis- grace of the Cotton Schedule” the leading editoridl says in part: “In the cotton schedule of the Ding- ley . law perversion of-the protective principle was conspicuous in all its forms. In the Payne Aldrich-Cannon ‘downward revisicn’' tariff the out- rages of the cotton schedules are per- petuated and accentuated. The power behind this mew cotton schedule was the power cf successful public plun- der. And the ircentive to it was mere ‘plunder. “Under the Dingley cctton . sched- ule the duties.levied on the imports of 1907 amounted to a fraction less than 45 per:cent of ‘the value of the goods - imported. 'The ‘duties of the Payne-Aldrich-Cannon cotton schedule applied to the importations of 1907 would average over 30 per cent of the value of the goods. TUnder the new sckedule there are more prohib- itive duties, higher than before. Con- servatively- estinated the new sched- ule is at least 25 per cent higher than the old. . “There {8 no Jjustification for in- creasing the cotton schedule. The Inbor cost in cotton manufacture in this country is decreasing, not in- creasing.” STUDY OF CONSERVATION Unliversity of Michigan Establishes New ‘Course. Ann Arbor, Mich., Nov.
