Hl ‘By E. C. KILEY. —— : WD DOLLARS A YEAR IN ADVANGE entered in the Postoffice at Grand Rapids, Minnesota, 25 Second-Class Matter 3 Ip May not be generally known, but it fs true, that our fellow townsman, oa. R. King, ex-county auditor, is be~ ing urged by a number of prominent Republican politicians of the state to become a candidate for the office of railroad and warehouse commissioner, NrwsPavers of the Fifteenth judi- district appear to be unanimous- ly ia faver-of electing Judge Spooner next fall to the place be now holds by appointment. The judge has cer- tainly made an ellent record on the bench thus far and it is not likely that he will neet with avy opposi- tion. Estrela hs 2 DHE Herald-Review rises to second the nomination of J. %. Galarneault of Altkin as delegate from this dis- trict to the national Detnocratic con- vention to be held at St. Louis. Mr. Galarneault has always been a consist- unt and able party worker and he de- serves the recognition that might thus be accorded him. A Dr. Marnaean, who conducted a whisky cure institute at Fargo, sold out the business a shurt time ayo, and coming to Duluth he proceeded to take aboard a glorigus old jag. He was picked up on the street by a policeman and “trun in.”? It’s an un- wise doctor that will take his own medicine. ane Tuose fellows over at Wadena— Bastman and Verity—turn out two of the best country papers printed in Minn a. They doa heapof politi- cal scrapping amoug themselves, but there is aiways so much genuine local 1ews dished uy in both the Pioneer Journal and Tribune every week that their editorial centroyersies serves as | Worcestershire sauce on a delicious piece of roast. ~~ From where we are lying in our happy home nursing a broken ankle, it looks as though Roosevelt will be inanimously now ted at Chicago in June, and it looks as though it looks that way to everybody else. Then why allthis howling on the part «nf. tain Republican papersand poli- | ticians about Roosevelt opposition ? t appears to a man up stairs like a case of hotair for preferential place in the procession with a view to Some thing in the future. It’s disgusting. —_- ‘THERE are lots of people in Minne- sota who really rejoice over the out- come of Dr. Ames’ prosecution for al- guilty as charged—probably he was— | Dut they gave him a hard chase fur’ his liberty, broke him in health and pocket, and he’s a bard hearted wretch who cannot feel that the punishment has been sufficient. cern gig eas ACCORDING to the Collins support- ers, if Bob Dunn receives the Repub- lican nomination for govornor 1t will be wholly due to Democratic news- paper influence, and the Herald-Re- view is quite prepared to second the motion. Jn fact, if we must submit tu having a Republican governor at all this paper is willing to assume the entire responsibility for his nomina- tion and subsequent election. Now. therefore, notice is hereby given, that, in the event of a successful ter- miuation of Robert's campaign, we do hereby tender our services as oil in- spector under his administration, and request that Charley Mitchell will not neglect to duly record said tender in the book of grafts, top of first column on first page. ‘Tux Farmers’ Exchange is a grow- ing organization that is takinga firm hold throughout’ the agricultural states of the west: The agricultural classes are wiser than they were a quarter of a century ago when the granger movement was prospering. The. Farmers’ Exchange means the establishing of farmers’ stores in which everything coming under the heading of general merchandise and farm machinery will be handled. They have plans for the establish- ment of banks and the withholding of farm products from the markets until the price thereof is satisfactory. It will be a farmers’ trust. ‘The Herald- Review hopes to see the movement spread to every state in the union and include every farmer in the lat.d. The farmer has an advantage over all other combivations ever framed by men, if they only knew it. Maybe they begin to understand their owo power and will use it. ——- > Sam FULLERTON says that public scntiment is more in favor of the en- forcement of the game iaws of the state than ever before. Sam doesn’t know what he is talking about or else} he’s giving the public hot air. The time is coming when there’ll be no more big game in Northern Minne- sota than there is today in Hlinois or Iowa. Northern Minnesota is not an Adirondack. It is an vountry that is being rapidly settled up by a thrifty class of farmers. The deer, like the Indian, will not stand civilization, and it is only a matter of afew years when they will be no more in any considerable numbers. In the meantime deer are a mighty handy article of food for the settler and they should be his by every law of nature and the state. The people should rebel against the forestry reserve cranks and the game law agricultural | apolis. e ex-mayor may have been |, and if heroic measures are not adopt- ed by the press. and people hereaway they will retard our growth to an ex- tent that cannot easily be overcome in future years. “Wuo should be our candidate for the presidency?” is the caption of an, editofial comment in the last issue of the Goodhue County News, edited by that freelance of Minnesota journal- ists, John Stone Pardee. The article is credited to “Steel Pen,” but it strongly favors John Stone’s style. The essence of the editorial in ques- tion advocates a greater degree of conservatism by the Democratic par- ty in the framing of its next platform and in the selection of its next presi- dential candidate. In brief, it is an advocacy of thegood Lord, good Devil policy. The Herald- Review says, to hell with the trimmers. If the Dem- ocratic party must adopt a Republi- can platform and concede every de- mand of corporate greed and of the money dealers of the country, then why oot throw off the cloak of bypo- cracy and step bo'dly and bodily into the ranks of Republicanism? What is there, pray tell us, in the Demo- cratic platform adoptedat Kansas City that the party can conscientiously eliminate tuday? Is it opposition to trusts? Is it opposition to imperial- ism? Is it opposition to corporate control of the world’s wealth? Is it bitaetalism? Is it the principle as set forth in the Declaration of Inde- pendence that all men should have equal rights? Is it tariff reform ? Is it Our position bn the labor question ? These are the essential elements of the Democratic platform as it was last written and adopted. What would you throw out as bad Demo- eracy oras being too radical for ad- vocacy at this time? If it be any of these, wh‘ch one, and for what reason? None are new or radical principles. They have heen incorporated in one form or another In every Demecratic national platform that was ever writ- ten. It is true,as Mr. Bryan says, that bimetalism need not be the lead- ing issue in the coming campaign, but the principle must remain a part of the platform to be adopted. Mr Bryan will not likely be the nominee of the perty, but the man who is must stand ona Democratic platform and that will include every main issue i , for we must remember that in the St. now constituting that platform. a AG re) NESEY Morses and Logging Outfit For Sale.

Mr. Chamberlain’s policy of proter| ential tariffs threatens :he United | States. In no part of the Union would the effect of Graat Britain’s adoption of even a modified form of protection be so disastrous as in Min- nesota and North Dakota. A prefer- ential tariff in fayor of Canadian wheat (and the levying such a tax is openly urged by Mr. Chamberlain), would at once give a tremendous im- petus to Canadian cultivation of this cereal and prove disastrous to the principal farming industry of Minne- sota and the Dakotas. For whatever markets may hereafter be opened up, and the prospects in thisdirection are anything but bright, the United Kingdom furnishes us now practically the only market for our breadstuffs. To cut off this demand would spell ruin to the wheat growing and willing industry of this state. And that itis possible tocut it off the best author-! ities testify. Mr. James J. Hill, who, whether we like or dislike him, we must admit speaks of the matter with the very best knowledge of the facts, said in a recent speech: | “You may say: ‘Oh, well, they! (the English people) have got to buy their bread from us or their people; will starve.’ I will call your atten-| tion to the fact that twenty years ago the province of Manitoba did not} export a bushel of wheat. Of the last crop it exported 35,000,000 bushels. Atthe rate your American farmers are going into that country, in ten years they will raise all the wheat Great Britain needs. Then you will pay the tax, or you will hold your wheat, or you will find a new market.”’ A British tari@ of even ten cents a bushel on American wheat, while no tariff at all is levied on Canadian wheat, would in Mr. Hill’s opinion not only result in destroying the de-' mand for our wheat, but it would de- populate our rich farming lands. And the English millers would see to it too that their interests would not suffer and the vast milling industry which has grown up in Minneapolis would either have to. go out of busi- ness or be moved across the Canadian border. Indeed we must luok in the event of the adoption by Great Brit- vin of preferential tariffs favorable tu her colonies to the erection on Cana- dian territories of flouring mills which will riyal our own in extent, Ie Lawrence, to say nothing of tributary streams, they have a water power be- side which that of the upper Missis- sippi is but a meandering brook. If in ten years Manitoba and the North- western previnces of Canada are going to raise the amount of wheat with which Mr. Hill credits them we may ‘depend upon it that Canadian capital and Canadian enterprise will tind the means of grinding 1t. Manitoba wheat will not, unless it is made ‘worth the Canadian’s while, be long sent here (Continued on Page 5) MAR TIN ffers Splendid Opp crtunities for Investment. it 2%. eee ae 288 eae id ede ded dokeddededubdok EA RE a HA EE RE: Ld 4 i: Shoda 2 bd bssdssdcobcabcobcobcedcobcoh Dd Riad Rahs chiohcchsobecbcokeal Shed deh de hk hho for refreshments and whe: e of the largest phonographs inthe world io ia The Northern.
