Minn., second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM GRAFTERS AND SHYSTERS. According to a recent decision it is not slander to call a man a grafter, says the Minneapolis Journal. But there is no doubt that those who apply the epithet to others mean to imply something disgraceful. It is only a question of time when the word will come to have a distincly offensive meaning, just as the word shyster now has when “applied to a lawyer. A shyster is a lawyer who does business in a tricky manner, without regard to professional honor. A grafter is a public official or private citizen who does business in a tricky manner without regard to personal honor. The term is applied indiscriminately to boodlers and bribers, to the baser thieves who do things which are indictable, and to the more petty rogues who merely do things in an underhanded way in the hope of some small personal gain. The man who omits to pay his street-car fare, because the conductor failed to make a distinct demand for it, is a petty grafter. The woman who accepts more change than is her due at the store, be- cause of the mistake of a clerk, is another. The word has not yet pro- gressed to the station where it can be defined as slanderous, but it is only a question of time when common usage will bring it to that state. We heartily concur in the follow- ing, taken from the Northfield News: “If the small town retailer adver- tises in the local papersenergetically, wisely and persistently he can beat the mail order game every time. It has been done so often that it needs no further demonstration. The mail order house may have an advantage over the local merchant in the as- sortment of goods, but the local merchant has such tremendous power by wisely advertising in the local press that the mail order house is really one which is working under the greatest natural handicap after all.” BECAUSE GF ANTI- ~ PATRIOTIC CAMPAIGN Republican Glubs at Madrid Closed by Authorities, Madrid, July 2.—The Spanish au- thorities are exercising a rigorous cen- sorship over the publication of news regarding the war between the Span- iards and the Kabyle tribesmen on the Riff coast of Morocco. Nothing except official dispatches is allowed to be published and communication by telephone to the provincial newspa- pers has been stopped. The govern- ment considers these measures justi- fied on the ground of military neces- sity and because of the anti-patriotic campaign being conducted by the Lib- eral and Republican press. The en- tire edition of El Pais was confiscated and all the Republican clubs were closed. The persons arrested in connection with the demonstrations against the departure of the troops will be charged with sedition and tried be- fore a courtmartinl. The outside world, the government officials de- clare, should understand, however, that the Liberals and Republicans are exploiting the unpopularity of the war for political purposes and they are suspected of inciting to resistance the reservists, who were ferced in many cases to leave familles without sup- port. It is reported that General Marina, commander of the Spanish forces at Melilla, has informed the government that he will require 40,000 men to insure a decisive defeat over the Moor- 13 ish tribesmen. Melllla, Moroceo, July 2 .—The Moorish tribesmen have divided their forces into two columns, one concen- trating at Souk-Mazuza and the other on the slopes of Mount Gurugu. It is believed the tribesmen contemplate a night attack on the Spenish positions, Bond Issue Constitutional. St. Paul, July 2.—The state su- preme court, in a decision, holds that the law passed by the last legislature, authorizing the state to issue certifi- cates of Indebtedness to the amount of $2,250,000 for the new state prison, 1s valid and not contrary to the con- stitutfonal provision which prohibits the issuance of -bonds in excess- of $250,000. Renounces Right to Throne. Lisbon, July 2 .—Prince Miguel of Braganza, eldest son of Duke Michael, the pretender to the Portuguese throne, has remounced forever his right to tho throne of Portugal in order to marry Miss Anita Stewart, datighter of Mrs. James Henry Smith of New York. The prince’s engage- ment to Miss* Stewart was announced July 9. SPANISH PEOPLE NEARING REVOLT Bittefly Opposed to Waging War in Morocco. KINGRISKS ASSASSINATION Is Touring @outhern Spain, Bldding Farewell to Departing Troops and Hastening Preparations for Sending Further Reinforcements — Fearing Mutiny Soldlers Are Not Given Ball Cartridges Before Departure.

OF ALL KINDS AND SIZES have reached the most alarming pro- portions, bordering on a revolution. The government is making every effort to hide:the serfousness of the situation and the details of the revolts in the interior towns are being care- fully suppressed. King Alfonso is touring Southern Spain, bidding farewell to the depart- ing troops and personally urging the KINGQ ALFONSO. various arsenals to rush preparations for sending further soldiers to the front. Everywhere the king goes he is heavily guarded by scores of secret service men and those troops whose fidelity can be counted on to the end. Risks Life for 8ake of Duty. The ministers have urged him to forego these trips to the various gar- risons, fearing that he will be assas- sinated, but the youthful monarch de- clares it §s his duty to see personally that the work of getting the troops into Africa shall be rushed to com- Dletion. The king, however, has abandoned all intentions of visiting England and other nations this summer as he had planned. He is devoting his time and energy to the effairs of the nation, but his action is winning no friends for him, for the people are bitterly opposed to the present war. Every garrison from which troops are to be sent to the front has been deprived of all ball ammunition. The soldfers are given no ball am- munition until the transports get them to Africa, when they are supplied with cartridges and rushed forward to the rellef of General Marina, besieged at Melilla. Reports from one of the ports where troops are belng embarked indicate that there have been mutinies and if they had not been deprived of ammu- nition it is belleved there would have been bloody fighting before they could have been gotten on board the trans- ports. The general staff has published its report of the casualtles in the fighting in front of Melllla. It shows that the Spaniards lost heavily. A colonel and five other oflicers were killed and a colonel and twelve other officers Wwounded. The report says 260 sol- dlers were wounded, but the number of soldiers killed 1s withheld on the ground that tho reports are Incom- plete. The people that surround the bulletin boards are clamoring for the names of the dead. TORPEDO BOAT CUT IN TWO Collides With Sister Ship While Trav- eling at High Speed. Portsmouth, Eng., July 26.—Torpedo boats No. 2 and 13 collided while maneuvering in the Solent. The No. struck the No. 18 amidships while traveling at high speed, cutting the latter vessel almost in half and send- ing her to the bottom. The crew of No. 13 was picked up by No. 2, which was rushed into port to provent her sinking. No lives were lost. Roosevelt Returns to Nairobi. Nairobi, B. E.
