The Mirror is accomplishing great good, not only among the inmates, but also by creat- ing a broader understanding and sympathy for those who were temp- ted and fell, and that Anglicus has assisted in this work is attested by the fact that lhe was generally res- pected by both the prison officials and inmates. ‘He has made others happy by his cheering presence and who s ll not say “he is as good John Carter has left the a better man than when he entered and he has also left the as we penitentia broken shamelessly. Why, under these conditions, shoult not the Democrats indulge a glowing hope? It may be Yhat the drift of public opinion is mot so much toward. De- mocracy as away from Republicanism Yet unless the people want to con- tinue the shameless and brutal mis- rule of the Republican party, which uses, where are they to turn for re- lief if not to the Democratic party? Chastened by defeat, purified by long abstinence from the fleshpots of political power,the democratic part relief to the oppressed people. the drill is not decidedly toward De- mocracy that is because the demo- cratic party has been divided by dis- sensions which was to be expected after four successive defeats in presi- dential elections. The prospect of prosperity will tend to cement the fractures in the party and to spur it into a reorganization that will en- able it to present a united front to the enemy.’ Beyond question a great many peo ple have become doubtful of both parties. The Democratic party has men in congress who are as faithful to the interests as any Aldrich thoug! less powerful than he. Yet is must not be overlooked that these men are quite as conspiciously in the minority in their party as are the “insurgents” who represent/ all that is worth pre- serving in the Republican party. Some people believe that neither of the old party organizations will be able to solve the problems of the fight between people and privilege, and that a new party composed of the progressive elements of both the the old parties is needed. But it is altogether likely that the democratic -party will be given an- other chance before the existing poli- tical organizations are thrown up in the air and a new party is formed by the debris. The demotratic party (has been out of power long enough to masquerade as a new broom. A new broom sweeps clean; and certain this country, is in need of a clean sweeping.—Duluth Evening Herald. oo Although the COHERENT ROAD WORK. In the building of roads there are | two chief ways of proceeding. One it to let each township build what roads it pleases and as it pleases, and to let each county build which road it ipleases and as it pleases. The other is to require all road work, whether done by state, county or township, to be done in accordance with a broad plan of meeting the needs of each section, and that mean that work must be done under the general supervision of a central auth- | ority! provided) by the state. Under the former method, a large percentage is pure waste. Roads will overlap each other and communities inmates the better for having mingl-} With greater political power will get ed with them and given them pright- er views of life. ————-—__ THE DEMOCRATIC HOPE. The speeches made throughout the country at Jefferson day banquets made 4t very celar that the Demo- crats of the nation are in a very hopeful mood. They are confident of gaining control of the house of representatives and they are very sanguine indeed. about the prospects of gaining the presidency in 1912. And surely there is good reason for these hopes. The Republican party stands con- victed before the bar of public opin- ion of high crimes and misdemeanors | richly meritting the punishment of defeat.. Its organization is in the complete | eontrol of the agents of interests which profit mordinately and unfairly jat the peoples expense. Its efforts are bent td the service of these in- tertsts, and not to the service of more public funds than communities | with lesser political power even thoug ‘the needs and deserts of the latter may be the greater. That is why Minnesota has pro- vided a state highway commission though it has not reached the point where all road work is correlated un- der the direction of that commission. Last fall B.F. Yoakum, chairman of the executive committee of the Rock- Island-Fresco lines invited delegates from the farmers’ unions of several where road making methods are fur- ther advanced. Texas responded and the party vis- ited New Jersey, New Hampshire, Massashuetts, Rode Island, Connec- ticut and New York. problem of good roads are enabled to get the benefit of the study made by these southeastern farmers.

However, mo secret work was given away, a new ritual being adopt- ed since Racime was given the run for his money, the lodge working nuder the old ritual at that time. It is thought the Phelps arson case will be posponed. The case was up for trial yesterday morning, but two affidavits were presented by the de- defense, signed by Cass Lake physi- cians, stating Mrs. E. H. Phelps, one of the principals, was in a very pre- carious condition and her life would money to advance their own political fortunes makes the need of combat- ting it more pressing. The report states that while it cost 23 cents to haul a ton of farm pro- the better roads of Europe. It is estimated that with roads as good as those of Europe the saving in this country would amount to $286,- 000,000 a year, a vast benefit to be shared by producers and consumers. That sum is five per cent interest on nearly 6,000,000,000 a year, which would provide $125,000,000 for each state and territory and enough to sup ply this country with the finest sys- tem of roads in the world. This makes a particularly strong argument in favor of getting good roads. even if it is necessary to go into debt to do it—Duluth Evening Herald.

The county attorney made a mo- tion that the case against her be nol- led. Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Phelps and son, Ray, are accused of burning the hunt- ing lodge at Winnibigoshish dam which they occupied, on May 16, 1909 and Joseph Wegge, a son-in-law to the elder Phelps was burned. It is charged the Phelps burned the build- ling to collect insurance on the furni- ture, it being alleged they were order ed to leave premises by the govern- ment the following July. The Phelps have always born an excellent repu- tation and their resort was the mecca of sportsmen from far and wide. At the hour of going to press the trial of the’ case has not yet been com- menced.
