Recognized by Everybody as the Leading Weekly Newspaper of Northeastern Minnesota. It Looks Like a Cinch. From all over the district are com- ing favorable reports as to the candi- jacy of the able Itasca county attor- u who is ambitious to be nominat- r district judge on the republi- cau ticket and elected to that office. When a man bears the reputation of being clean and honorable 1n every) walk of life, and is well read in law, an unusually successful prac- Uitioner, and possessed of that tem- @erament which assures the public that his every act officially will be ne well considered and impartially ren- dered, what more could be said of him? We have in brief set forth the rea- sons why we believe Mr. Thwing merits the nomination and the high honor of election. We speak of him as do the people with whom he is constantly in contact, no matter of what political persuasion they may be, and we know of no better measure that cao be made of a man either in public or private life than that of the unbiased opivion of his intimate friends and neighbors, There is no diversion of opinion in Grand Rapids on this score.—International Falls Echo, Harry Orchard’s Reprieve. Says the Chicago Eveniag Journal: “The reprieve that Governor Gooding of Idaho has given to Harry Orchard will be received by different people with widely varrying emotions. But to the majority it willseem a mistake. How it can seem otherwise than a mistake to anybody passes under- standing. Harry Orchard stands on one of two borns of a very bad dilemma. His confession, made upon the trial of Haywood, Pettibone and other officers of the Western Federation of Mincrs, was one of the most appal- ling revelatiuns of wholesale crime in the history of civilization. Un- bluishingly, even with horrid avidity, he related the details of crime after crime which he said he perpetrated at the instance of the defendants. Hither this story is true or itis not true. If it were true, Orchard confessed to crimes enough, and crimes horrible enough, to warrant the most severe punishment that modern ideas of punishment permit. Even the many who do not believe in capital punish- ment as an abstract proposition, and who thiuk that society has no more right to take a life than a murderer has, will tind it possible to condone the violation of their principals in- volved in the judicial execution of Orchard, if his confession is true. On the other hand, if his story is not true—and it was almost incredible —he swore to a series of lies with the object of bringing about the judicial murder of innucent men, If a man*should be hanged for murder, whether it is of one person or of a hundred, what should be done with a man who will swear toa lie to cause the unjust punishment of guiltless men? This is not only rourder, but it is worse: it is muddy- ing the stream of justice at its source; it is prostituting the machinery of justice to the cause of fiendish injust- ice. Wholly aside from the merits of the Moyer-Haywood- Pettibone case— which most people have dismissed with a more or less vague belief taat it was a bad mess anyway, with evil on both sides—Orchard is in a bad way. He is either a wholesale murd- erer or a wholesale perjurer, and since his perjury—if it was perjury—was aimed at the destruction of innocent men, he deserves swift and merciless punishment whichever is true.

Mr. Bryan has been an advocate of a hw guaranteeing deposits in state and national banks since 1893. The legislature of Ohio has adopted a joint resolution inviting Mr. Bryan to address its members in joint ses- sion February 18, 1908, on the subject of Guaranteed Bank Deposits. Mr. Bryan, in discussing the tariff question, insists that residents of the United States should be permitted to buy home-made goods at home at aslow a price asthe foreigner can buy American-made goods aboard. He also insist tliat our government should be by and for the people as a whole, rather than by and for the trusts, and administered inthe interest of a few beneficiaries of the trust system. He believes that national legisla- tion for the purpose of better regulation and control of interstate commerce and common carriers should supplement; state legislation, and not be a substitute for state legislation. Mr. Bryan's paper, The Commoner, reflects his opinions each week on questions of pub- lic importance and in its columns maylalso be found his magazine articles, public speeches, addresses and lectures, whiclffare referred to in the daily press from-day to day, If you are interested in political questions, if you desire to keep intouch with the pro- gress of the campagin and to read Mr, Bryan’s campaign speeches send sixty cents to The Commoner, and the paper will be sent to youeach week until the close of the next presi¢ential campaign.

THE ETERNAL RECOMPENSE. 82: 3rd Minn. 70-80; 17 regiments lost between 60 and 70; the Irish brigade lost over 2,000 men during the Wil- derness campaign. There laid at one time 10,000 dead soldiers and over 21,- 000 wounded; from the 5th of May to the Ist of June, 1864, there were lost in wattle, in less than a menth, over 100,000 men. To give some idea of the fierceness of this campaign we will refer to the battle of Spotsyl- vania, called the fight at the bloody angle. Nothing during the war equalled the desperation of this struggle, which was continued for 14 hours; it was at this engrgement that a large oak tree, 24 inches in di- ameter, was shot of by musketry. On an area of less than five acres, in the rear of their position lay more than 1,000 Contiederate dead. It was there that General Grant remarked “God forbid that I should ever look upon such a sight again.” These are but a few of the many incidents that occurred during our civil war. Every man who went into the Union army had to make a strong pe- cuniary sacrifice to do so, in spite of all that has been said about big boun- ties. the men .who got them would have made much more money by staying at home. Every man who went into the army lefta place which some one else had to fill, and thus raised the rate of wages for the man who filled it.

It seemed as if all joy had gone forever. But you forgot all that when your eyes strayed across the room, Prim, berib- boned heads bent with studious affec- tation over books. Demure eyes stole sidewise glances in your direction. You regarded them impersonally until there came the one thrilling, fleeting flash of brown eyes for which you had been waiting. Blushing deeply, you turned to lose yourself in life’s serious business. On your way home, by the merest chance, you found your footsteps beat- ing slow cadence with hers. Awk- wardly you tried to conceal the delight of this almost forgotten joy. Once more life was bright with their irri- descent glamour of youth. The call of the river was lost among the dim, unregretted memories of the past. School—ah, school was not so bad, after all. Reducing Noises.
