Mr. -Republician is of the head, not of the By EB. C. KILEY. PRD DOLLARS A FRA IN ADVANCE overed | In the Postoffive at Grand Rapids Minvesota, as Sevond-Claas Master, “TOE 1 MARKING” We publish thie a morning with the booors of position that it may justly glaim a Jetter from the distinguished Jeader of the Democratic party-in-the house of representative, Hon. Jolin Sharp Williams. Mr. Williams re- plies at some length and with his-ac- sustomed fevor and furee to an article published recently in the Globe, ask ing whether or not. the Demucratie 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. Williams in their skeletoaized account of his remarks. What he said, after stat- ing the~ Democratic position on the dill to increase the powers of the in- lerstate commerce commission, as re- ported in the Congressional Record, js this: “fam glad thatthe presi- Sent of the United States is 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 in themselves, are harmless enough. Exaetly how they are sure to be interpreved by any public is seen from the rejoinder made im- mediately to Mr.” Williams from the ‘ther side of the house by Mr. Scott, as follows: “IL particularly eongratu- lute the Demoeratic party «upon the wisdom of its choice in the matter of aleader. It is vastly to its eredit that it states here, through its ae- know ledged leader, its willingness to ow in the footsteps of the dis- usbed. Republican who now honors the highest ofticein vhe land.” We do not think anything .could perfectly express the error of tactics to which we have referred. We know to well. the depth and sin- cerity of devotion “to Democratic ideals which characterizes Mr. Wil- liams 1.0 call that into question. But the Democratic party, as he says, has aspolicy of its own on this matter of railroad legislation. It hasa bill that represents ity own ideas. Phat those ideas happen to be even more radical than those of. the opposition ol to the point, excep: as strength- hing the case- Why, then go out of the way to praise the enemy, to laud more his policy, and to use that expressive iigure about “Loe marking? > Por he Who “toe mirks”~ the footsteps of trother has not his head ta the ai, spy 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 he sees: footsteps ahead of him follows toeur servilely. ‘This would scarcely be a Demoeratie atti- tude even if the footsteps were those Democrat. How much tess so when they are Republican fuotpriats. Mr. Williams should do us and him- self the justice of re; ing 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 jiscussion, That is for him and the party to determine. ‘The: question, supported as we have seen by the tterance of the gentieman on ar sion that became a subject of national attention, is whether itis either wise or Democratie to hold up + Republican president as a great exeloplar Lo Democrats and ask them to ttoe tnark” his footsteps. HM the presideat had confessed his sins and announced himself a Democrat, there might be place for him, though even then oot the highest seat of honor, But to speak of him in this language while still in bondage is to discourage true Democracy everywhe ‘The Globe acquits Mr. Williams of anything but the best intentions and what he believed to be the wisest policy in twitting Republicans with vhe course of their leader. It believes nevertheless that he and others have gone too far. It will be noted that does uot refer to the Panama inei- dent, where the party was madea partner in Republican crime; not to web the canal, which could just as well have been ha@ honestly, bub to place it on stolen territory. Wecon+ fess thas we do not like this. company into which Democracy has been led. We confess to a disclination to “toe mark” the footimarks of Mr. Roose- velt, whether he is right or wrong. If there is to be “toe marking,” show ug the imprints of a loyal Democratic rsot. The error of tactics in lauding Roosevelt and his policies asa heart. None the tess is it an error, and one, which. by falling like lead upon the hearts of Democrats every- ‘where has become serious and dis- | heartening. “The Sahay aigartinet ‘ruling’ United States. than in any other country,“ and continues: ‘There is a duty of 25 centsa bushel.on imported wheat. Canada’ wheat mixed with the softer American grain makes more and better flour. On all of this good flotir sold to American; eonsumn- ers, a tax must be paid.* -Owalll, of this good flour eaten’ by foreigners . the miller gets.a rebate equal. to the. jtariff. ‘Phe export drawback’ is of great value fo the Minneapolis millers. ‘There~ are some eighty million other people in the United States who would. be “glad to share its beneiits.” . The World, usually very accurate, sin error. Lhere 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 advance nor reduce the 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 Liverpvol market. The price wheat sells throughout the world is the. price at Liverpool less the cost of “‘transporta- tion. The price of. wheat in- Min- heapolis is the price of wheat in Liv- erpouol, 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 th will make our cost more in’ the }. A portion of the wheat grown in CGa- nada will be. ground: in American mills and bauled'rot, American rail- roads. The Canadian farmers may. receive more for their wheat’ than previously because the cost of uans- will not be so great‘an they were for- merly compelled to'pay. Ib gives these farmers a wider marvet ahd a choice of routes, and naturally will compel the Canadian railroads to meet the competition of American roads. Thus both the Canadian farmers and the railroads, millers and work- ingmen of the United States will be somewhat vevetited by this arrange- ment. if flour fs the home consumer tore Lhaoftbe foreign cousumer, that is largely Wee: of the fact that the railroadswili rry flour for export ehever thafl they‘will carry the flour destined for, home censumption and Vhis assists-the millers to keep up the lucai price. ‘Foot Ball.

Richards, coumissioner general land office, Minnesota must within sixty s, furnish affidavits that there are no salt springs con- tained on land selected by state otti- cers under the schoul indewnity grant of LWo years ago. lu 1902 Miunesota was granted the privilege of selecting lands frond the public domain of the state in lien of sections 16 aud 36, includedin former sehool grants which were a part of Indian reservations. Abvut 175,000 ‘acres are involved in the seleetion and it will require considerable work to furnish affidavits as to the various tracts. A Jocal lind attorney last Thursday characterized the decision as little short of rediculous. “Hew in the world is the state going to find out whether there are salt springs on the Jand when the tractsare covered with # foot or more of snow, he asked. “Actual examination of the lands would require a huge amount of work and could not be done jat this season of the yeur if it were possible to com- plete the surveys within the period allowed.
