A wise head often contains a great

These seems no end to the heights

raided over London.
It Is invariably the case that the
man who lives on the earnings of
his wife makes the biggest howl
against giving her the right to vote.
If you know of an item of news

Congressman Halvor Steenerson
will give an address at the city hall
Thursday evening in regard to the
issues of the presidential campaign.
Congressman Steenerson is well
known in this district and there is
uo question but that he will be
greeted by a large crowd. He will
give an address at Blackduck on
Wednesday evening
Don't forget that Christmas days
are again drawing near Don't for
get that merchants in this city have
the goods that you want to buy for
those Christmas days. Don't forget
that every dollar you spend w^th a
local merchants remains in local cir
culation and enriches the community
just that much. Don't forget that
every dollar you spend outside of this
city remains outside and decreases
the money in local circulation just
that much. Don't forget than an ad
vertisement of a local merchant in
this paper is an indication that the
merchant is prepared to "make good"
or he would not resort to publicity in
soliciting your trade. Don't forget
the good advertiser is generally a
"live wire," and that live wires are
better than dead ones.
THE TARIFF LAW.
The Underwood tariff law has been
the most dismal failure of any rev
enue legislation in the history of the
country, writes a Washington cor
respondent
The Democrats boasted during the
campaign, "we will reduce the cost
of living," "we will take the taxes off
the people" The Wilson adminis
tration jammed the Underwood tariff
law through congress and in one year
more than three million men were
out of work, the cost of living was
higher than ever before, and it has
since steadily increased The next
day after the Underwood tariff law
was passed Mr. Underwood said it
would do four things* Reduce the
cost ol Hying, would not disturb the
business ot the country, would in
crease our foreign trade, and would
collect revenue sufficient to T"n the
.government It has done none of
.these things, so glibly promised.
The Underwood tariff too^ ti-om
the dutiable list and put on the free
list cattle, sheep, wool, beef, mut
ton, corn, eggs, milk and cream It
put wheat and potatoes on the free
fist conditionally It reduced by
about 60 per cent the tariff rates on
horses, poultry, oats, hay, cheese and
butter These reductions were fol
lowed by a great increase in impor
tations into the United Slates of for
eign farm products The increase for
the fiscal year of 191*, nine months
of which was under the Underwood
law, over the year 1912, was $140,-
000,000 These importations broke
the farmers' markets all over the
country Wheat in Vmencan mar
kets declined about fifteen cents per
bushel, corn declined about 10 cents
per bushel, cattle and sheep de
clined nrice The Democratic
theory was that reduced tariff duties
on farm products would bring for
eign farm products into our markets
to force down prices to tire consum
ers Foreign products did come and
the price to farmer was forced down
But the prices of food products to
the consumer were not reduced. The
only beneficiaries of the reduction
were the foreigners who shipped the
products, and the importers and mar
ket manipulators who received them
They did not sell more cheaply to
the consumer but their margin of
profit was greater. While prices of
live stock to the farmer declined, the
price of meats to the consumer stead
ily advanced. The high cost of liv-
ing continued and has increased ever
since.
The law did disturb business but
the president declared it was only a
"psychological condition."
The Underwood law did not pro
duce revenue enough to pay the ex
penses of the government, and a
Democratic congress was compelled
to pass the Stamp Tax act, in time
of peace, as a makeshift supplement
to the law.
Our foreign "trade has increased
but the increase has been in muni
tions and supplies for the warring
European nations. What will hap
pen when peace is declared in Europe
and the war orders cease?
The Democrats, facing now the sit
uation which every one knows, will
exist at the close of the European
war, have attempted to quiet the
fears of the farmers and the busi
ness world by their so-called tariff
board, costing $300,000 annually.
The question is not what a tariff
board may recommend but whether
a congress elected next November be
lieves in protecting American indus
tries, or making a tariff for revenue
only.
Intelligent and patriotic voters ev
erywhere have made Up their minds
to repudiate the incompetent and un
American administration of our af
fairs.

THE STATE
(By United Press)
Northfield, Minn., Oct. 10.The
conference of colleges of the interior
and the Congregational conference of
Minnesota, met today to join in the
celebration of the fiftieth anniver
sary of Carleton college. The cele
bration opened by the dedication of
Skinner memorial chapel and an or
gan for it, will take one week. A
story of a man who came, was train
ed, went out and made good and then
came back to show his appreciation,
is rumored today, following the dedi
cation last night of the chapel's or
gan, the gift of an anonymous giver.
The story as narrated here is that
some 20 years ago, a youth with all
the expectations of life, attended
Carleton. There he was trained.
Success was the result of that train
ing. He realized that to the school
that trained him, he owed much.
And he came back. The organ dedi
cated last night was reported to be
his gift.

Brainerd, Minn., Oct. 10 Every
director of the Minnesota Scenic
highway had a report to read when
the officers and directors of the high

ports from Clay county were quite
interesting The section of the trail
passing through Clay county has
been graveled. Commissioners of that
county are pledged to complete large
sections of the highway through
their county, according to resolutions
adopted at a recent meeting here.
Each county through which the trail
passes is represented by a director.
Mankato, Minn., Oct. 10.--Evidence
that Blue Earth county was inhab
ited hundreds of years ago by an in
telligent and industrious race of peo
ple, who tilled the soil and raised
crops in the Minnesota valley long
before the advent of white men, was
shown today in the old Indian vil
lage at Cambria, a short distance
from this city. Prof. Nickerson, Ep
worth, la., who is making excava
tions in the prehistoric village for
the Minnesota State Historical soci
ety, made the find. Prof. Nickerson

Rex Theater.
"Fantomas,'' the master genius of
ingenious crime and the most famous
character in all contemporary fic
tion, will enart his thrilling career on
the motion picture screen. The Mu
tual Film Corporation announces a
series of five three-reel productions
under the title of "Fantomas," the
product of the Gaumont studios. The
first release starts at the Rex to
night. Each of these productions
carries a distinct and complete plot
each is satisfactory in itself, yet each
is related to the other through the
action of the principal characters.
"Fantomas" offers no disappointing
breaks. It is a wonderful series of
detective stories of unusual charac
ter, masterpieces of the mastercraft
of the world-famous French detec
tive stories.

made these troubles the more serious
I had been in this condition for sev
eral years.
"I noticed accounts in the papers
of Tanlac's good work and I bought
a bottle of the medicine. My stom
ach trouble has been greatly relieved
by Tanlac. I eat heartily now and
the food agrees with me perfectly.
"Tanlac has put new life into me
it has given me relief from all my
former troubles and I want to recom
mend it."
Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is es
pecially beneficial for stomach, liver
and kidney trouble, catarrhal com
plaints, rheumatism, nervousness,
sleeplessness, loss of appetite and the
like and has proven a fine recon
