Grand Rapids Peratas'Review Published Every Saturday. By E. C. KILEY. WO DULLARS A AR IN ADVANCE & Kntered in the Postoffice at Grand Rapids, Minnesota, as Second-Class Matter DUNN NOMINEE, The Jong and fierce contest for the Republican gubernatorial pomination has been arbitrated by the state con- yention, and R. C. Dunn is the candi- date of the Republican party. The Journal-Press supported L..W. Collins and opposed the nomination of Mr. Dunn, Jt made no statement which it did rpt belive to be true, it has uo apologies to make and noth- ing to take back. It believes thaz Judge Collins had a.majority of the rightfully and legally elected dele- gates tw the state convention, and that his defeat was brought about by the unseating of the Hennepin county delegates, 113 in number, ahd that this action was most dastardly and dishonest, and without the semblance of justice. The Republican friends of Judge Collins, knowing full well by what methods they have been defeated, submit to this rank injustice from their loyalty to the party.—St Cloud Journal-press, age ee INSIDIOUS ENCROACHMENT. That policy. of the Roosevelt ad- ministration which most truly de- serves the name of “imperialism” is irefully disguised. Jts advances sre althy, but none the Jess real. It ils not with our telations with dis+ tant and subject peoples, bat with the ‘relations between our goyern- ment and its own citizens. Ibisright here at home that liberty is being en- ngered under the nivust’ specious The people should be warned of this in time. Let us illustrate by a recent act of the postal department what we mean, and show how shrewdly the authori- Lies are sugar-coating their advance to arbitrary power with an assumed care for public morals. 1t is well known thata great mauy newspapers carry advertisements of frauds and It is well kuown that among the remedies advertised for “humau ills are some that are warthless aud some positively injurious. ‘Lhe yume ber ef these about which such facts have been ascertained has been ex- ceedingly small. Most of the medi- tines advertised, and the number of Lbem is legion and the auuuntof bus- iness done runs well into the millions, are either of ascertained helpruluess eof uukuown value. Neither physi- cian, layman nor public official is able to draw the Jine between tbem. Now the first assumption of autbor- ity by the postal department was to exclude notices of lutteries frum the mails. ‘Lhis was sancyioued by pub- lic opinion, and the apthprity re- juired was couferred by law. Next came the exclusion of ubscene matrer from the mails, similariy direcved and approved. ‘hen came the forbidding of Lhe use of the mails lu frauduieut Here we geb upou uuce! tain ground, because the question whether ve nob any advertiser iu a bewspaper represents something fraudulen. or genuine is a question of fact. Tre get-rich-quick coucerns found no difficulty,in “using not only tbe mails, but high postal authorities, by dividing their stealings. We have littie doubt that this same perfurme auce is going on ye. : ‘ Now comes this same department, smirched all over with the filth of in- vestigabivus into its career, aud de- cides that it will direct the exclu- sion from the wails of newspapers carrying advertisements of certain remedies to be* specifled hereafter. These have no connection with tbe _lottery business: and the assertion that they are fakes, whether true or false, rests solely upon the dictum of a postal official. One sees at a glance Lhe tremendous possibilities of con- trol this ‘opens. Hundreds of, wil- lions of dollars are spent every year in advertising. ‘The only advertising worth anything is that carried by daily newspapers and high class week- ly or monthly periodicals. ‘ihe right to decide what advertisements these shall carry and what not touches the whole publishing business, It in- volves actually the freedom of the press. The establishment 6fsuch a right carries with it a censorship as absolute as that of Russia. Phis is the eutering wedge of the postal department auder this admine istratiou. This is an eucroachment at which even the bhardiest Kepubli- can editois shy. We have litt'e doubt , that the American people, when the proper time comes, will make miuce- weat of thé men who atvempt Lo re- place the rustv shackles of feudalism upon, their limbs. We take pleasure in calling attention to the fact that this aduinistration, in its hungry , appetite. for opportunities fur pelt and its insensate desire for an ac- cess of arbitrary power, is. stepping .gutside the law, pressing hard upon pretenses. fakes. coucerns. Among the possible Democratic candidates for governor of Minnesota is Marcus L. Fay, mayor of the city of Virginia. |. the proper limits of American liberty, and by arbitary departwestal rulings is setting up a system un-Americar in itself and so saturated h possi- bilities of corruption and of tyranny that the county will make short work of it. FOURTH OF JULY SPEECH. The census bureau at Washington estimates the population of the United States at 80,000,000 Logked. at: from one point of view, that-wf the earth’s population, the figures do,agt appear large. Eighty million isabqut 5 per cent of the population of the globe. Com- ‘pared with the population of other nation .save two, Russia and China. \China’s people are estimated at) 400,000,000. Bussia as 130,000,000. It is the unit of population that counts. Wast aggregations of people miy mean nothing but figures.

The American workingman . enjoys luxuries such as a Russian peasant and the Chinese covlie never dreamed of. The comparison of intelligence is not less striking. The mass of illiterates in Europe has uo comple- ment in this country. Our average of intelligence is the highest the world has reached.

We are tirst in the production of livestock, farm products, silver, steel, copper, cotton and other things.
