Surpson has taken charge ofthe Hibbing Tnbune. The Tn- jbune has been under going some hghtn- ing changes of management lately, and with each change it improves almighty slow, Speaking about Hib- bing papers it would be the plain truth to say that the Mesaba Ore is about the neatest and newsiest publi- cation that reaches this exchange table, Claude Atkinson has the instinct and traming that combine to make a real newspaper man. a A Micuican jury has decided that a man who tried to bribe an alderman did 1t “as a joke.” and the Detroit Free Press is unkind enough to say: “This Will be a comforting verdict to lobbyists im general, for the average common council is full of men with a keen sense of humor who ‘well know how to take a joke.” pructiae coe mae Tue election of undemocratic demo- stats to office is infinitely worse for the party than defeat, says Bryan in his Commoner. A party can afford ‘to be small if it stands for the right, ecause then it will grow; but if a party however large, selects for office men who do. the bidding of corpora- tions and then renominates such men . after their affiliations are known, that party must, sooner or later, have, as it deserves, the contempt of good citizens, The republican party is controlled by the corporations; we cannot defeat it by putting the demc- cratic under the same control, but we «an defeat it by making the demo- <ratic party an honest exponent of Aonest government. Bg tS EXPANSION Vs. IMPERIALISM. In discussing the Louisiana pur- «hase recently ex Secretary Charles Emory Smith attempted to use the act of Jefferson asa precedent for the Philippine policy of the McKinley administration, but the distinction between Jeffersonian expansion and and a republican imperialism is so clear that it would be a reflection on a man’s intelligence to say that he could not see it. The land purchased by Jefferson was contiguous, the islands, forcibly tuken by the republican administra- Lion, are in another hemisphere and are separated from us by the Pacific ocean. ‘sparsely settled; the Philippine is- jat the land office before 4 p. m., of The Louisiana territory was | ed for reforestration purposes. Four ae A NR COS I RT lands are more densely populated than our own country. (If we take the Filipinos and their land we will have less land per capitathan we now }, have. The scattered inhabitants of the Louisiana territory cameinas citizens; the Filipinos came in as subjects. The Louisiana territory was settled up by people who located on the land for the purpose of living upon it and cultivating it; the Americans who go to the Philippines go there tu work the natives and to carry away all the wealth that is moveable. The settlers in the Louisiana terri- tory formed self-governing communi- ties; the people who go to thé Philippines go almost as carpet-bag officials or as exploitersof the helpless. The Louisiana territory was carved into states; the Philippine islands are to form acolony. The people who live in the stvtes made out of the Louisiana purchase share in the guarantees of our constitution and in the destinies of our nation; the Filipinoes have no protection from our constitution, and no voice in our government, or even in their own. The people who live on the land purchased by Jefferson participate in levying of the taxes which they pay; the Filipinoes are taxed without representation and shot down if they object to the exercise of arbitrary power by an alien government. These are some of the distinctions. 'To use the purchase of the Louisiana territory as an excuse for a colonial policy in the Orient is as absurd as it would be to use the kindness of the Good Samaritan as a justification of the criminal conduct of Cain.— bryan’s Commoner. gees PINE LAND WILL BE DISPOSFD OF.

OUR BOYS MAKE GOOD RECORD The Tournament at Park Rapids a Decided Success—The Loval Compaty Wins Several Prizes— G. R. Wins Base Bali Game, The Grand Rapids fire department has reason to feel well pleased with the victories won by them at the Park Rapids tournament, which closed yes- terday, The bays went prepared to ask the honor of entertaining the fire- men of the association at Grand Rap- ids in 1904 aud their request was unanimously granted. ‘They also went prepared to successfully compete for a share of the prizes offered, and in this, too, they were reasonably victorious. ‘hey went to learn some new tournament stunts and this desire was gratified. They went to havea good tme, and they had it in full measure. They arrived home this morning weil satisfied. The experi- ence gained during the past two years will enable the boys to give their visit- ors a recepuon and entertainment next year that wul be difficult to sur- pass in the the future, and tHey will endeaver to eclipse all that has gone before. ‘The weather was delightful through- out the’ four days of the tournament and everything passed off agreeably. ‘There were present companies trom Bermidji, Hailock, Grand Rapids, Blackduck, besides Park Rapids. Hib- bing and Eveleth were also present, but not in sufficient numbers tu enter the contests, ‘The first business disposed of was the seiection of Grand Rapids as the next place of mecting, atter which the tollowing officers were elected for the ensuing year: e Geo. Riddell, Grand Raplds, presi- dent; Parker ot Bilackduck, vice-presi- dent; Murray of Kast Grand orks, second vice-president; George Kre- mer of Grand Rapids, secretary; C. W. Martin ot Bemidji, weasurer, Upon the arrival of the Grand Rap- ids company and their friends, they were met at the train by a committee headed by Hon, B. F. Wright, who made a neat speech welcoming the visitors, and tendering to Mayor Rid- dell gthe keys of the city during his stay, the same to be used tor the bene- fit of all the guests. Mr. Wight also appointed Mr. Riddell mayor de facto oi Park Rapids during tourna- ment week, Mayor Riddell accepted the hospitalities shown ina iew well chosen words, and thereafter the tun began. ‘Lhe first sporting event to take place was a base ball game between is tu be sold and five per cent retain- townships,are advertised. Grand Rapids and Park Kapids, which 1esulted im favor of the former team by a score of 9 to 10. + It was a welll played game throughout and the boys are highty pleased over their victory, Captain George Riddell had his company in good working condition and every man acquitted himself in a creditable manner. The first prize awarded was to Grand Rapids for the largest number of men in Line, Cass Lake taking second, ‘The purse for second was $20. Blackduck appeared in band regalia instead of firemen’s uniform, but the judges awarded that company first ,psize for best appearance. Grand Rapids won second prize, $35,.in the association hose race; sec- ond in hook and ladder service. $35; second in hub and hub, $35. In the wet test Grand Rapids would have won first prize but for lack of water, an error on the part of the Park Rap- ids management, which resulted in placing the company third, and win- ning Only $10 when they should have had $50 if the award had been on merit, Harry Varley took second money 1n the foot race and won a ten- dollar purse. The boys are well pleased with the treatment accorded them at the tourn- ament town and will undertake to re- ceprocatc in hke manner next year.
