PRD DOLLARS A FRA IN: ADVANCK eecsn In the Postoffice at Grand Rapids Minnesota, a8 Sevond-Claae Master, “TOE “MARKING” We publish mien morning with the hoovors of position that it may justly claim a letter from the distinguished leader of the Democratic party.in-the house of representative, Hon. Jon Sharp Williams. Mr. Williams re- plies at some length and with hisac- sustomed fevor and furee to an article published recently in the Globe, as ing whether or not’ the Democrat party was to be lost by absorption in the Republicanism which too many of its representatives seemed to be assimilating. Perhaps the press dispatches were not altogether just to Mr. in their skeletonized account of his remarks. What he said, after stat- ing the~Demuvecratic position on the bill to increase the powers of the sn- lerstate commerce com sion, as re- ported in the. Congressional Record, jsthis: “lam glad that the presi- Sent of the United Statesis more of an Americanf than a Republican. When it comes to dealing with this particular matter we will toe mark his footmarks not because he is presi- dent, but because he is right, and we fall upon you as American citizens lo help us toe mark.” ‘The words, taken themselves, are harmless enough. Exaetly how they are sure to be interpreted by any public is seen from the rejoinder made ime mediately to Mr.” Williams from the ther side of the house by Mr. Scott, as follows: “I particularly eongratu- lute the Democratic party «upon the wisdom of its choice in the matter of aleader. It vastly to its eredit that states here, through its ac- cnowledged leader, its willingness to in the footsteps of the dis- tinguished. Republican who now honors the highest office in uhe land.” We do not think anything could more perfectly expre the error of tactics to which we have referred. iu is We know to well. the depth and sin- cerity of devotion to Demoes itic ideals which characterizes Mr. Wil- liams to call that into question. But the Democratic party, as he says, has aspolicy of its own on this matter railroad legislation. It hasa bill tt presents ily own ideas. That eas happen to be en more cal than those of. the opposition 5 Hol to the point, exeep’ as strength- the case- Why, then go out of the way to praise the enemy, to land his policy, und to use that Dressive igure about “Loe marking?” For he who “toe marks” the footsteps of trother has net his head im th ip bospy out the way. or his eyes and ears alert for what is going ou about him. He simply watches the ground and as long as be sees footsteps ahead ofbim follows thew se This would scarcely be a Demoeratie atti- tude even if Lhe footsteps were those f a Democrat. How much tes y when they are Republican footpriats Mr. Williams should do us and him- self the justice of realizing that it is hot atall or in any sense his position ya the merits of the proposal to legis- ate on railways rates that is under liscussion, That is for him and the party to determine. The question, supported as we have seen by the tterance of the gentleman on ar occasion: that became a subject of national attention, is whether it is ‘ither wise or Democratie to bold up Republican president as a great exeluplar Lo Democrats and ask them to ‘toe tnark” his footster Hf the president had confessed his sins and announced himself a Democrat, there wight be place for him, though even then vot the highest seat of honor. But to speak of him in this language while still in bondage is to discourage true Democracy everywher ‘The Globe acquits Mr. Williams of anything but the best intentions and what he believed to be the wisest policy in twitting Republicans with the course of their leader. It believes nevertheless that he aud others have gone too far. It will be noted that does not refer to the Panama inci- dent, where the party was madea partuer in Republican crime; not to wet the canal, well have been had honestly, but to place it on stolen territury. Wecon- fess thas we do not like this company into which Democracy has been led. We confess to a digclination to “toe mark” the footwarks of Mr. Roose- velt, whether he is right or wrong. If there is to be ‘toe marking,” show 1g the imprints of a loyal Democratic foot. The error of tactics io lauding Mr. Roosevelt and his policies asa -Republician is of the head, not of the heart. None the less is it an error, which could just as, wheat, the: New York. World say. “The treasury departmetit’s ruling will make our cost more in’ the United States, than in any other country," and continues: ‘here is a duty of 25 centsa bushelon imported wheat. Canada‘ wheat mixed with the softer American grain more and better flour, On all of this good four sold to’American;eonsum- ers, i tax must be paid.: Onallof this. ‘good flour exten’ by foreigners .the miller gets a rebate equal. to the jtariff. ‘fhe export drawback is of great value to the Minneapolis millers. ‘There are some eighty million other people in the United States who would be ylad to share its benefits.” The World, usnatly very accurate, is'in error. There will be no floor sold to American Consumers on which the tax must be paid. ‘There is no need of importing wheat for. home con- sumption. ‘Therefore the grinding of Canadian wheat in American mills wilt neither price of flour, here or elsewhere. The chances are that as long as ‘much flour is exported as wheat imported, the government will: not be particular whether the good flour goes outside or remains at home. The price of Wheat is fixed in the Liverpool market. The price wheat sells-for throughout the world is the. price at Liverpool less the cost of transporta- tion. The price of wheat in- Min- neapolis is the price of wheat in Liv- erpool, less the transportation charges. The price of wheat in Northwestern Canada is the price of wheat in Min- neapolis, less the cost of transporta- tion. The only advantages secured -by removing the daty on wheat are these: A portion of the wheat grown in Ca- nada will be: ground. in American mills and bauled':oti American rail- roads. The Canadian farmers may. receive more fur their wheat than previously because the cost of uans- portation through the United States will not be so greatiaw they were for- merly compelled to ‘pay. It gives these farmers a wider marvet and a .» and naturally will | to conigel the n railroads meet the competition of Amer! roads. Thus both the Canadian farmers and the railroads, millers and work- ingmwen of the United States will be somewhat vevetited by this arrange- ment. if flour fe the home consumer tore thaofbbe foreign cousamer, that is largely Uecause of the fact that the railroads /wili earry flour for export, echeper thal) they’will carry the flour ssists the millers to keep up the lucai price.

Nutoonly is there iv- Lerruplion itr the wourse of study for the athletice, but for yhe football on the whole college itself is dis- turbed.
