Public officials are subjected to a
great deal of criticism. All things

fairly well.

on that proposition.

Mr. Bryan’s Richmond Interview
was altogether superfluous. Mr. Bryan

same mood.

The local disturber thinks that it is
“funny that nearly all the grafters are
republicans.” But it happens that
“nearly all” the grafting ex-bankers,
ex-township treasurers,ex-copper mine
promoters and court-house leaches
around this community were members
of the inner circle of the political
rlDg for which the local disturber
speaks officially.
Sioux City Tribune: Harrimansays
that an effect of all this railroad agi
tation was to prevent his floating a
fifty million loan abroad last year.
Recalling the opinions expressed in
financial circles abroad last August on
Mr. Harrlman’s Union Pacific 10 per
cent dividend and its attending cir
cumstances, we can comprehend the
kind of “agitation” that made foreign
capitalists turn a cold shoulder on Mr.
Harrlman’s borrowing.
The Lincoln Journal observes that
“the vegetarian as a rule bears on his
countenance a long, hungry look.” In
the immediate vicinity of Lincoln
there is an institution where flesh
foods are entirely unknown on the
daily menu, and a more robust, well
fed set of men and buxom, pink-faced
girls can not be found anywhere than
those in charge of the same. The
Journal editor should go out and get
acquainted with his neighbors, and he
would probably revise his estimation
of the vegetarian.
WHEAT AND TARIFF.
Tho Northwestern millers recently
had a meeting, says Up-to-Date Farm
ing, and the burden of their proceed
ings was to devise some means of se
curing the repeal of the 26 cents per
bushel tariff on imported wheat. They
wish to import Canadian wheat into
this country free of import duties.
Secretary Shaw virtually set aside
this tariff some two years ago by rul
ing that millers operating in the
United States might import wheat
from foreign countries, and manufac
ture it into flour, or mix it with
native wheat and then manufacture
the mixture into^flour, provided they
would export the flour.
AS the law now is, Canadian or other
foreign grown wheat cannot be im
ported into the United States and sold
in competition with our growers with
out first payings duty on it of 25cents
per bushel. Hence, if American wheat
were selling at 81 per bushel, import
ers would have to buy Canadian wheat
at less than 75 cents a bushel before
they could afford to buy Canadian
wheat instead of the wheat grown
here.
Now, we need not argue for or
against the principle of protection as
it is exemplified in the tariff laws, to
show farmers that if this tax of 25
cents per bushel were removed from
foreign wheat, all the wheat produced
in Canada would at once come into
direct competition with the wheat
produced by themselves, and they
could not hope for equitable prices so
long as Canadian wheat could be
bought for less.
We may go a step further and say
that so long as home manufactures
are protectected by tariffs, and farm
ers are not permitted to buy foreign
made goods without paying a tariff on
them, we are opposed to the repeal of
this tariff on wheat.
If the mills and factories will yield
the advantage they derive from pro
tective tariffs, then we may talk of
the repeal of the tariff on wheat; but
until then we warn wheat growers to
watch this effort on the part of the
flouring mills to bring Canadian wheat
in free competition with wheat pro
duced in the United States.
Apology Accepted.
Butte Register: We “beg pardon”
of the O’Neill Frontier for not giving
them credit for the little editorial we
clipped from that valuable paper last
week and run in our editorial column.
It was an oversight on our part. We ,
refer to the article that says, “The
man who shoots to defend the sanctity
of his home”, ect. The article ex- 1
presses our sentiment on the subject. :
There is too much of this “unwritten i
law” business nowadays used to re
lease jealous husbands and sweet- ,
hearts who have committed murder,
in a fit of jealous rage. In a home so
easily invaded by the wiley seducer,
there is but little sanctity to Idefend, ’
just as the Frontier says. And !
further adds: “A man will not in- 1
vade the sanctity of any home with
jut the encouragement and consent of |
the mistress of the same, and when a
man finds himself encumbered with
luch a wife the sinsible course would
be to have her pack up and leave in- (
stead of committing murder.” i
Educational Notes. ,
O’Neill State Junior Normal begins j
June 17 th. <
Every one intending to enroll should l
make special effort to be present on
the first day. Enrollment begins Fri- <
day, June 14th.
The Chicago Glee Club, one of the
best numbers on the lecture course,
will give an evening concert the open- '
Ing day of the school. No one can
afford to miss this number.
Misses Louisa and Grace Kennedy of
Page have reported that they wish to
jnter high school this fall for the pur.
pose of securing the normal training :
work. If a class of ten or more re
port, this county may have one school
it least, eligible to enter the list of
applications of such work.
The excellent lecture course for the
state Junior Normal consists of eight

and pay the incidental fee of two
dollars.
Season tickets will be sold for one
dollar and a half ($1.50.) Single tick
ets fifty cents (50c) for adults and
thirty-five cents (35c) for children.
This lecture course together with at
least three weekly chaoel talks by Dr.
H. K. Wolfe of the State University
will be worth more to any person than
the whole expense of the school will be
to each.
The bill providing for normal train
ing in the high school and which car
ries with it an appropriation of $50,
000 to be distributed among severity
high schools Qf the state furnishes
young people in the high school an op
portunity to deviate from the regular
course.
Accredited schools, having three
teachers in the high school, a twelve
grade course, and a class of at least
ten who wish to take the normal
training course, are eligible to make
application, (a) A review of at least
nine weeks in each of the following
subjects: Reading, grammar, arith
metic and geography, to be given not

of professional training, to include a
study of methods, school management,
observation work, etc , to be given in
the twelfth grade by the city superin
tendent of the school or by a member
of the high school faculty recommend
ed by him.
The special mission of the training
class is to provide the rural schools
that are not in a position to engage
normal graduates with teachers who
are proficient in common branches
and have devoted at least a year ti
special preparation.
The legislature of 1905 enacted thi;
law: Oil and after September 1st

Relief from Rheumatic Pains.
The average man cannot afford to
employ a physician for every slight
aliment or injury that may occur in
his family, nor can he afford to neglect
them, as so slight an injury as the
scratch of a pin has been known to
cause the lost of a limb. Hence every
man must from necessity be his own
doctor for this class of ailments. Suc
cess often depends upon prompt treat
ment which can only be had when
suitable medicines are kept at hand.
