which he controls to throw at Gover nor Johnson.

Governor John is experiencing much difficulty in his endeavor to follow the advice of Dictator Day in being all things to all people.

An exchange insinuates that Mr. O'Day is leading Governor John around by the nose. If dictating the governor's daily course is implied, to dispute it would be to prevaricate.

Day and Lynch have left for Denver to open the Johnson headquarters. Among the things which they took along is said to have been an iron safe containing the "influence" of the interests.

Mr. Roosevelt should feel highly honored, for among the fifteen chris­tian names which have been tacked onto the new Spanish prince is "Teodoro." This, translated, is Theodore.

If Mr. Rockefeller, who is writing his biography and the history of the Standard Oil company, could be per­suaded to confine himself to the truth the work would make particularly in­teresting reading.

Ten cents per head is being paid by Red Lake county for crows and men are making as much as five dollars a day shooting the birds. But what will the democrats of that county do for their after-election feast?

An apple eaten before retiring to bed will bring about a refreshing sleep, says a London medical author­ity. Fellows who have fallen into the habit of taking "nightcaps" for this purpose should give the apple a trial.

Now comes one Walter Campbell of Philadelphia and says that Betsy Ross did not make the first American flag. Mr. Campbell will never convince the American people, however, that Betsy did not manufacture that first Old Glory.

Governor John announces that he will not be m attendance at the Denver convention, and the only conclusion to be drawn from this is that he scents defeat from afar and is desirous of avoiding at least a portion of the resultant humiliation.

The prohibitionists of Iowa have inserted a plank in their platform which calls for the right of women to vote. There is one thing certain: If women were given this right and could be induced to go to the polls there would be few wet spots left in the country.

Marquis Ikda of Japan, who last week left New York for his own coun­try, says that American women are the handsomest in the world. We are aware of the fact, Marquis, and some of them are fools enough to marry your swivel-eyed, mud-colored, under­sized countrymen.

Pittsburg bankers have decided to measure up their clerks by the Bertil-lon system and to place these records, together with the photographs of their employes, on file. From this the fl^Slic will infer that the young men who handle money in the Pittsburg finan­cial institutions are very unreliable— suspected criminals as it were.

Finnish socialist societies of the northwest paraded through the streets of Duluth last week carrying red ban­ners and wearing red badges.

Lemoine, the Frenchman who claimed to have discovered a method of making diamonds from chemicals, has disappeared from Paris and a Lombard street, London, Jew is out a large sum of money which he loaned the gem maker. This is the first in­stance we have ever heard of where a Jew loaned money without being at least doubly secured.

Ignorant of its value, sailors on the British bark Antiope rubbed about $20,000 worth of ambergris, which they picked up at sea, into their oil­skins and boots. They afterwards discovered that the "grease" which they had used was worth about $400 a pound, and then they doubtless realized how easy it is to let a fortune slip through the fingers.

A meritorious act passed in the closing hours of the last congress was the "a shpan" law—a law for the pro­tection of locomotive firemen. It will not, however, go into effect until July 1, 1910. The railroads are given until that date to equip their engines with an ashpan "which can be dumped and cleaned without the neces­sity of any employe going beneath the locomotive." The enforcement of this law is placed in the hands of the inter­state commerce commission and the penalty for its violation is $200 for each offense.

Two ways of being a republican (with apologies to the Nashville American): One way to be a republi­can is to vote for republican nominees, support republican policies, and up­hold the hands of faithful public ser­vants whom republicanism has placed in power. Another way to be a re­publican is to assail the party and its representatives, belie its principles, give aid and comfort to the enemy, and desert when the line of battle is

counter. Those Choose ye!

' ' I believe the way our women are dressing is immodest, impure and im­moral in its tendency."—Rev. M. G. Dickinson, Hoboken.

This denunciation is altogether un­called for. Women of today, it is true, dress more for comfort than they did ten or twelve years ago, but we fail to see wherein their attire tends to immodesty, impurity or immorality. Is not the short skirt an improvement over the long train that accumulated upon its bottom disease germs and the filth of the sidewalk, and are not short sleeves'and the perforated shirt­waist to be commended in preference to the hot stuffy things that were formerly worn? There is nothing im­modest even in the directoire gown and surely not in the merry widow hat. We advise the Rev. Mr. Dickin­son to abstain from criticising the at­tire of the ladies or he may find to his dismay that his congregation dwindles down to a few crusty old bachelors.

From 1903 to 1907, inclusive. 1,153 persons lost their lives in celebrating the Fourth of July and 22,250 more received injuries. The Fourth of July will continue to be celebrated for many and many a year,—hundreds perhaps,—but it is a pity that so many lives should be sacrified in honor of the day. The day should be cele­brated, and celebrated apprppriately, but greater care should be exercised in the handling of explosives.

Grover Cleveland was laid to rest in the Princeton, N. J., cemetery on Friday afternoon beside the grave of his daughter Ruth. President and Mrs. Roosevelt were among those in attendance at the obsequies. The rites consisted merely of the simple services of the Presbyterian church in accor­dance with the wishes of the dead ex-president. There was no oration or sermon.

Hedging Early In the Game. 'Tis just as we expected. Governor

Johnson's declaration to become a third term candidate has a string at­tached to it. With the proper amount of "pressure," which will be forth­coming in due season, John will be "induced" to reconsider and, appar­ently much against his inclination, he will consent. This from the Minne­apolis Tribune of June 22 is simply the prelude:

Frank A. Day stated this morning that the greatest possible pressure was being brought to bear upon/Governor John A. Johnson to become a candi­date for his third term in spite of his declaration of withdrawal. "Letters and telegrams are coming in from all over the country," said Mr. Day, "urging Governor Johnson to recon­sider his decision. I notice also that the democratic papers of the state are urging the same thing." Asked con­cerning the reported candidacy of T. J. Knox of Jackson, as Bryan can­didate, Mr. Day refused to be quoted. "But," he added smilingly, "we have

drawn unless your faction is leading the winning candidate up our sleeve his administration. They have

No Substance to Either. As the hour of the Denver conven­

tion approaches the public hears less and less of the prospects of Gov. Johnson. Can it be possible that the governor's candidacy has as little substance tb it as that of Frank B. Kellogg for second place on the re­publican ticket.—Alexandria Post-News.

•5* •$• • Declines What He Can't Get

In refusing in advance to accept the democratic vice presidency nomina­tion Gov. Johnson is probably declin­ing something he hasn't the remotest chance of capturing if he wanted it ever so bad. The governor's presi­dential boom surely went up like a rocket, with the usual result, it came down like a stick.—Ortonville Hearld-Star.

The Virus of Socialism, "No words are too strong to

express my feelings in denunciation of the virus of socialism." So said Re­presentative John Saari, in his speech at the Johannes picnic at Duluth. These words have the proper ring, but they are rather late in coming. Had Mr. Saari given expression to denun­ciations one half as forceful last sum­mer when the people and some of the newspapers on this range were fight­ing socialism and anarchy they would have made more friends for Mr. Saari than such utterances at this time. Socialism lives only in its weakest form here now, and denunciation has rather a negative influence.—Eveleth Star.

Very Coarse Politics. The state board of control is sup­

posed to consist of three members of equal authority and of equal rights under the law. Hereafter by virtue of the act of two of its members, they will constitute the entire board, the third member having been officially deprived of having an individual opinion.

At the last formal meeting of the board Mr. Rosing introduced and he and Mr. Ringdahl passed the follow­ing resolution:

"Resolved, that a motion or resolu­tion not properly seconded shall not be made a matter of record, unless it is so decided by the board; nor shall reasons for or against a resolution be entered on the minutes without the same action."

As Mr. Ringdahl is little more than Mr. Rosing's echo, this in fact makes the board consist of but one member and he a man who lives by, of and for politics. For this action is politics and nothing more or less. The minute Mr. Rosing entered the board politics came with him.

To this Mr. Leavett has persistently objected, which is the head, front and all of his offending. He has refused to play politics himself or to consent to the board being made a political tail to Governor Johnson's kite. Now he is gagged and the board of control becomes merely a democratic politi­cal machine.

For this Governor Johnson is primarily responsible. Rosing and Ringdahl are his personal appointees. Their conduct has been a scandal in

repute. They have made true the one « o ' o uuo u.au w uuo ween. iur JjenVCr. r •' ***" ~ —"•*•*' »-»"• »—v v " *> F. B. Lynch, the Johnson presidential argument against it, that it would not manacftr. OTIII fm'n A/Tr» T>«-r «-. -»...» v.- t _ . .. _ * ! . . • • _ be kept out of politics.
