Rvose- velt, however, is shrewd enough to see that his political future depends a great deal more upon his record as governor of New York than his deeds of valor as a rough nder. —— H. C. Srivers, formerly editor of the Bramerd Journal, has ngain gotten back into the harness. He is pub- lisher and editor of the Sunday Forum at West Superior. Mr. Stivers is one of the ablest newspaper men in the northwest and he will give the people of Douglass county an excellent Democratic weekly. We are sorry that he has left the Sixth district of Minnesota, but wish him success in his. new field, Chat Wats ae MS Tue Di-ennial jangle over which counties shall have the Republican legislative candidates for the Fifty- second district is already in evidence. Carlton county wants to send’its man back, so does Aitkin, and Cass thinks it is entitled to recognition. Aitkin county doesn’t like Carlton county’s candidate and favors a Cass man, and this may make Carlton cut Aitkin’s representative. It’s properly none of our business, but we think it is Cass county’s turn. Siidek SATs. es It 1s safe to say that if the Democrats could name the Republican nominee it would not be Page Morris.—Aitkin Age. Quite likely. This district is a close one, in which the candidate ot neither party is elected until after the ballots are counted. The Democrats realize that there is always a possibility ot Republican success, and if they had the chosing of that party’s candi- date they would select one who, in case he were elected, the people would not have to apologize for. So it would probably not be Morris. plese EE ia THE machine wins out against the people in the Sixth district and Mor- ns will be nominated at Duluth on Tuesday. In a couple of months he will be going through the district tell- ing the people how deplorably ignor- ant they are on public questions and how presumptious it is on their part to have opinions other than those shared by “Mac and Me.” - It isa crime to force a man of Morris’ mental attributes to represent such a benighted constituency. years or so he is forced to make ‘trips into the country to tell them how hittle they know. Heretofore it has been the money question they were incap- able of comprehending, but now the program will be changed and it will be the Porto Rican matter that they should give up trying to fathom, it being too complicated for their plebian understandings. It’s so nice to have @ congressman you can look up to. x —_——o— Anp what will Bede do? He can’t very well take the stump, stulufy him- self and ask people to elect Page Morris again. He can’t remain quiet without doing his party more harm than if he were active. He can’t run independent without forever ruinihg his political prospects. - He can’t sup- port the Democratic nominee with- out meriting the name of sorehead. He has made his own position a peculiar one. We like Mr, Bede and would advise him to take a year oft and visit the Paris exposition. 5 eco: The man who thinks VanSant or any other man has a cinch on being elected governor against Jack Lind. better get that ideu out of his head in the twinkling of an eye, and go to werk, with coat off, sleeves rolled up, and then believe that the Republicans will b» successful only by the skin of their teeth.— Anoka Union. It is plainly evident that Pease doesn’t believe the Republicans can elect their gubernatorial candidate, no matter who he may be. He there- fore gives his party associates a little sound advice. If they follow it and expect to elect their man only by the skin of his teeth, they will not be so disappointed when they discover that they have not elected him at all. SAAS, If anyone in this country imagines fora minute that Charles A. Towne, the brilliant young Duluthian, who 1s being mentioned for vice president on the Democrat ticket, does not feel honored by his prominence, ho is mistaken. The, high position is just what Mr. Towne has been reaching for ever sinc» he bobbed up in Dututh a few years agu.— Albert Lea Tribune, :: That’s strange. The idea that any- one should feel honored by being nominated for the next highest office within the gift of the greatest nation on earth is certainly ridiculous, and if Towne displays any appreciation of the confidence the people would re- pose in him he must be somewhat un- balanced. It is also quite apparent to those on the inside that the reason he left Michigan and came to Duluth was for the purpose of becoming a vice presidential nominee. Anyone who has studied physiology knows that twelve or fifteen ycars ago it was plain that Duluth could never have a candidate for second place unless Towne moved there, and that ‘Towne cculd never become such can- didate if he remained in Michigan, $250.00—All Expenses - $250.00 From Duluth to Paris and Return.

Merriam, whose parents formerly lived in Laporte, Ind., and who is a relative of Gen. Henry C. Merriam, and Mary L. Crawford, one of Laporte’s most popular young so- ciety women. When they first met, over two years ago, it was a case of “love at first sight.” Each was under 20 and family interests forbade an en- gagement. The young people were put upon a term of probation. Young Merriam went west and was at Spo- kane when the Spanish war broke out. He wrote from there that he intended joining one of the regiments for the Philippine service. As this was the last letter Miss Crawford received from him, she naturally supposed he had gone to the Philippines. A few months ago Miss Crawford saw an account of the death of an American soldier at Manila whose name was G. D. Merriam. The shock prostrated her, and she became dan- gerously ill, but after a number of weeks she recovered, and when strong enough wrote to Merriam’s parents at Spokane, Wash., condoling with them and assuring them that her love for their son would live forever. ‘The return post brought the astounding intelligence that George D. Merriam had never been a member of the United States army or volunteers, had not been in the Philippines and was then hard at work at college, where he would be graduated at the end of the present year. Miss Crawford’s embarngssment was great, for she had opened her heart unreservedly to the parents of the man she loved, but joy overcame her embarrassment, and she faced the situation bravely: Investiga- tion revealed the fact that a false cease writing to Miss Crawford, but he speedily effected a reconciliation. It is understood by the friends of both parties that their engagement will be announced immediately after young Merriam is graduated. BUY SPANISH SHOES. Many American Soldiers in the Phil- ippines Are Wearing the For- eign Made Article. Many American soldiers in the Phil- ippines are wearing Spanish made shoes, This strange fact wa: brought to light by a letter written by the French consul at Manila to his govern- ment, a copy of which has reached the war department. It says: i “Shoes form one of the chief articles of commerce at Manila since the en- trance of the American troops. The large number of regulars or volunteers are forced to constantly renew their footwear. So far Spanish manufac- turers have mainly profited by this trade. The few tailors now established in this city have been overwhelmed with orders which, for want of capable workmen, they have been unable to ful- fil. The American army to-day forms their. chief clientele. Uniforms of white, and especially khaki, are made everywhere in proportion as troops ar- rive from the United States or return to Manila from the front. Suits of cloth or light wool are ordered from the few European tailors. It is diffi- cult to find out just what the amount of importation of these cloths is, but the kind made in France is too heavy for this climate. A light woolen cloth ought to be especially manufactured for tropical countries, where the warm and moist temperature requires the use of materials extremely thin, but at the same time calculated to ward off chills.” MODERN MEXICO DEVELOPS. Vast Schemes of Internal Improve- ment Are Now Reported Well Under Way. About all the machinery and equip- ment material for the electrical trac- tion system adopted for an extensive system of street railroads at the City of Mexico and in the federal district is being bought in the United States. Electricity will be first applied to the suburban lines and then to the principal city lines, Electric cars are now running to Tacubaya and also to Guadaloupe, just outside of which is the shrine for all Mexican Catholics. Pilgrims now go out there propelled by a modern motor. Sir Weetman Pearson, M. P., of Lon- don, who has now contracts amount- ing to $100,000,000 pending in Mexico, is in the City of Mexico, He says of the Vera Cruz port works, which his firm is building, that they are prac- tically finished. All the breakwaters have been completed for every effec- tive purpose and a new deep water quay giving over 800 yards of shipping space will be completed in six months, allowing ships drawing over 30 feet of water a chance to discharge their cargoes alongside the pier, their freight going directly into. railroad ears or warehouses, Sir Weetmen says the port works will make Vera Cruz as fine an arti- ficial harbor as any on the continent of America, Too Soon to Judge, ‘The New Yorker who has talked his last will into a phonograph may sup- pose that he has got ahead of the law- yers, but there are experienced liti- gants, says the St. Louis Dispatch, who will not jump at any such conclusion. ‘Warm Weather Then.
