RETALIATION MUST BE MET. Reciprocity In Present Tariff Bill a Failure Through Trust Senators' Op- pociticn Many Obstacles to New Plan Mam Points to Settle. As Secretary'"licet has been the mouthpiece of President Roosevelt's i t : "ministration on other occasions. , i.5 I a f..ir presumption that his declaration j for a maximum and minimum bill in j his lale Washington speech is intended to he put forth as the administration programme. An .Mr. Root did not indi cate vrhcther it is propose * ! to increnic the present lari.T rates as the maxi mum or reduce the present tariff rates for a minimum , the discussion of the merits of the propOMtion must neces sarily be confined at present to the bald question of the practicability of a maximum and minimum tariff and whether sch a form of tariff is to the best interests of the people. In tho. Orst place it is an entirely new propo sition to the voters , for probably not one out of a hundred people ever hea \ \ of it before and , judging by the questions ? being asked , does not under stand what maximum and minimum tariif rates mean. The present tariff bill in section 4 provided for reducing the maximum rates through reciprocity treaties "to the extent of not more than 20 per cen- tur.i thereof upon such goods , wares or merchandise , as may be designated therein. " Such reciprocity tro.UVsve. . c i iii t Jo vi Jj a nuiiiuor of coital k > s by J the MeKinley administration , b .t tuo United State. , sen. , to refu-td to ratify ! them on the objection of So la tors Aldrich - drich , Lodge and others that to so re duce the protection to some of their constituents would injure them. It is diilicult to see how the same senators would agree to the minimum rates now prop-wd unbss such minimum ra.e < 3 are : . adc at least as hivrh a * : uv t''e present rates of duty.

Lie CJU..L y that joins in the treaty. There is , how ever , this difference between the two plans. In the case of reciprocity the treaties made must be ratified by the senate , but minimum duties can be put 111 effect by executive owl or. As the Republican congress will not want to cut down the present maxi mum rates , or in any event would not want to reduce those rates of duty that shelter trusts , the only question re mains of how much les- ; than the max imum rates shall b ? the minimum rates. If the present rates were re tained as the maximum and the mini mum rates were made HO pur cent Ijsn ' we should enjoy that much less taxation - i 1 tion on such of the products of other countries as were inclrdecl in thvir minimum rate1 ? . But it nr t hp ro- , ! nieinborcd that the articles i-o.o'-od by ; the minimum rates do not inch1e ev- | cry thing , but only such as are selected j for the sacrifice because they have not ! sullicient iniiucnce to preserve the pro- j tectiou of the maximum rates Such a tariff law would Lave to provide for the products of such countries as Bug- j land bcin.'r allowed our minimum rates , j which has no protective tariff , taxing only a few articles to produce revenue , so of course has no minimum rates to reciprocate with , for It would be a great breach of friendship for us to allow minimum rates to Germany and continue to exact maximum rates from England. There is also the question of i how sch a tariff would apply to those countries with which we have treaties of1 amity with agreement to vouchsafe to j them the same treatment as to the "most favored nation. " .so that we should be compelled to give such na tions the advantage of minimum rates even if they could not make the same concessions. The Democratic position o"ii the tariff issueis such that unless the proposition - | tion for a maximum and minimum tar iff bill shall reduce quite largely the present protection to the products of the trusts and combines and place coal , hides , lumber and other raw materials ( in the free list it would not receive the votes of Democratic congressmen. The maximum and minimum tariff plan is merely a subterfuge of the administra tion to escape from the dilemma that j their protection to the trusts has forced them into with other countries. The retaliatory tariffs of Germany , France. Canada and other countries are about to go into effect , and that means the exclusion of many of pur products from those countries and great loss to our producers and exporters. In fact , the Republican protective system is breaking down of its own weight , and lonirheaded politicians of the Root stripe see that something must be done to save our commerce from foreign hostility. . A Righteous Cause. President Gompers invites the cooperation eration of all labor unions to oppose war and for international arbitration of all differences and urges the unions to use their influence with congress men to that end. All good citizens will 'be glad to co-operate for such a right eous cause. * - - - ' - r ' . . * \ - vj'a : r r- - -fl-fl. - - , - * - M 1 Mrs. J. 0. Xorthrop is down with tiie mumps.

They expect to go tomorrow morning. Paxson Hornback wrote a letter home about two weeks ago during the snow blockade ) from Blabon , N. D. , stating that there had been only three trains there on the Great Northern in three weeks and that they were snow , bound and out of coal. The people of ihe town had boon dividing their coal to the lasi- hundred pounds with each other and that there was not enough to last longer than two or three days , but that he had enough to la > * t him a few days longer than that if the people did not steal it , but they were getting desperate and in the country people ple were freezing to death. It is a little warm now for- such a story- but we couldn't get his letter un til the blockade was broken and last week it was omitted through an oversight.

WATSON , Editor The Star-Journal of Ainsworth contained a rather remarkable little' poem last week , written by an eighth gracie pupil of the Ainsworth school. Gertrude Quigley and Helen Hun ter are out of school this week on j account of the mumps. The girls should have attended to such things during the holidays. Louis Hoenig of the class of 1906 began teaching in the Adam son district last Monday. Perhaps Louis will be a little timid at the start hut he will he all right when he gets used to it. , Lillie and Grace Grooms returned : to school this wee ! ? , after missing ! ' ix weeks. The girls will not at tempt to carry full ninth grade twork the remainder of the year but will take up some review work in the eighth grade. Some time ago L. C. Srarks pre sented to the high school library a very complete history of the Civil war , consisting of over 100 large volumes , and this week he sent us two fine atlases to accompany said history. We presume it'is the most complete work of its kind ever pre pared. * The Topeka Daily State Journal of l eb. 11 , says of Piobert Good who is 'publishing a little country paper at Jamestown , Kan. , that he has done so much for the town that not only have the people patronized his paper well , hut recently some of the business men lured him away from his office \vhile another group went and installed a gasoline engine to run his press and made him a present of the same. The Journal speaks very highly of the influe nee of such a man in a town. We are very sure Mr. Good's old friends in Cherry county will be pleased to hear of his success in Kansas.
