The WinonaL Leader, in commenting
on some editorial items IN recent is
sue of The Sun. gets so badly excited
rs to credit the items to the Morris
Tribune, an error, We trust, it will
correct at the first opportunity.
The Leader does not take kindly to
our assertions, that public sympathy
is controlling force; that honesty of
purpose is an essential to reform
that what is sauce for a combine goose
is sauce for the combine gander; or,
that there is not the proper distinction
made between the accumulation of pa
tient, thrifty energy and the booty OF
legalized piracy.
Bro. Campbell is evidently of that
class of deluded mortals, who imagine
that lust for power, rapacious ambi-
ton, plausible pretonse, political cum
ming and general humbug are not as
DTOulllSuG IuAucuOCo III ihO no" CAS-
they ever were in the old parties. We
do not wish to intimatethat he is for
revenue only reformer, but we do know
that some of his leaders have had
that reputation in several of the par
ties with which they have been pre-
viously identified.
The Leader should assist us in our
efforts to expose the visionary frenzies
of the times, instead of trucking tc
the conniving schemes of political
lhypocrites. 1t should be suspicious
of leaders who have wrecked every
party they could not control.
Reform, politically, depends on the
higher condition ofmoral probity, and
is impossible until "the greatest good
to the greatest number" is practiced
as we'll as preached. We agree "that
labor is entitled to its just reward,
and also contend for the rights of al
men to enjoy the fruits of their hon
| est labor.

Steam Navigation,

1t seems a proper occasion for
"lettin' the eagle scream" when we
realize that steam navigation had its
origin in America, and that the first
steps in nearly all extensions and inn
provements have been taken by the
men of the new world. Robert Full
ton made the first trip ever under
taken by a steamboat, in his "Clar-
mont" from New York to Albany, in
August, 1907. The first sea voyage
ever made by steam vessel was
when the "Phenix" went from
Hoboken to Philadelphia, in 1908.
The first steamboat for use on western
rivers, was built at Pittsburg, in 1911,
and the first steam ferry was estab-
lished in 1918, between New York and
Brooklyn. The first steam boat was
placed on Lake Erie in 1918, and in
1920 the waters of Lake Michigan
were first agitated by the paddles of
steamer. The first vessel to cross
the Atlantic propelled by steam) was
the Savannah" which started from
Liverpool for New York in the latter
part of June 1919, though the
voyage, owing to break in the
machinery, was finished under sail.
In 1887, Captain John Erickson ap-
piled the screw propeller successfully
to steam vessels. In 1889 the English
government desired to substitute
steam for sailing vessels in the mail
service to America, and applied to
Samuel Cunard, merchant born in
Halifax, Nova Scotia, to start the
enterprise, which he did by sending
out the 'tBrittania" from Liverpool on
July A, 1910. She arrived at New
York July 19, two weeks voyage.
The trip is now made by steamers of
most lines in five days. In railroad
building and equipment Americans
have likewise been the leaders of the
world. The proof tits easy, by point
ing to such a system as the great
Burlington Route, with its seven
thousands miles of road, with lux
urious fast trains, reaching all prin-
cipal points in ten states. For tickets
over this line, apply to your home
agent, or for more particular infor-
nation, write to w. j. G. Kenyon,
Gen. Pass. Agent, st. Paul, Mimi.

The following extract from Senator
Davis recent speech, affords food for
serious thought:
"People pirate about liberty, and de-
fine that liberty as the liberty of the
particular class they are speaking for.
The only liberty worth having in this
country is the equal liberty Of all men
alike. Liberty in its philosophical
and common-sense definition consists
in that right of each individual to ex-
ercise the greatest freedom Of action
up to, and not beyond, that point
where it impinges upon the like exer-
else of freedom of action of every
other man. Beyond that it is the de-
struction of the liberty of the weak
by the strongest, subversion of the
very theory of republic, and a re-
turn to primeval anarchy on the one
hand, or, as an alternative, to despot-
ism on the other"

Itwould seem asst everything tends
to depreciate prices these unfortunate
times. Crop reports, weather con-
ditions, financial and labor troubles,
and the general unsettled condition
of affairs, conspire to depress prices
and values, restrict trade and retard
business. 1t is folly, SO long as the
present unsettled and disturbed feel
ing exists, to expect that business will
assume normal conditions, and the
only thing to do is patiently wait
until people come to their senses
again.

Robert Owen spent life and fortune
to establish communistic agri-
cultural community at New Harmony,
Ind. The results were discouraging
and disappointing for he tells us,
that for honesty of purpose he got
dishonesty, for temperance intemper-
ance, for industry Incidence, for
carefulness waste, and instead of in
terest being taken in the affairs of
the community, he found only
apathy. Such is human nature, and
such will be the fate of all under
takings of this description until men
are differently constituted than in
this sordid age.

From the hail storm useful lesson
must be learned, namely: The ex-
treme danger and hazard of our crop.
General, or diversified farming is both
more safe and more profitable, and a
gradual change from our present
methods will soon be obligatory. The
small returns from our present system
of farming is not worth the risk run
and q change must be made to less
hazardous methods.

WHEATON, Aug. l.. The convention
to-day was most harmonious and
passed off without hitch. E. j.
Jones, of Stevens, received the NOM
nation for senator; Foss, of Grant,

strong, and one that must prove q
winner, as with two representative
farmers and Grant, Stevens and Big
Stone united, there is no chance fol

The people must condemn and
punish, not copdone and pardon, the
politician or party that does not live
up to individual or platform pledges.
Purify politics and material prosper
ity will follow. Existing conditions
in this land can never permanently
improve until the social and political
system is purified. Political trickery
must not be tolerated, the spoils
system must be stamped out, ring
rule and political slavery must be
abolished before we can expect right
to prevail. Honor, honesty and
principle in public and private life
will do more to improve conditions
and remove disturbing causes, than
all the make-shift legislation ever
enacted. The demagogue has sup
planted the statesman, and that the
devil is on horseback, politically, is
the cause of discomfort, distrust and
disquietude. Elevate the moral
standard and peace and prosperity
will ensue.

America Has Its 'sUncommon People, and
They Are Our "Royai Families"
In discussing the family squabblos Of
one Of tho reigning families of New
York, Mr.. Ward McAllister, as tho REQ
ognized authority ON everything which
concerns the uncommon people, says
that tho trouble is doubtless over and the
family probably entertaining some for
eign prince at their house on the
Thames.
Why not? Are not our royal families
as good as those Of Europe, of Asia, Of
Africa or anywhere else where royal
fam. IS arc tolerated?
Mr.. McAllister will undou5telIy
agree with us that they certainly are.
1t makes no great difference how power
over man is obtained-yhether by the
force and brutality which made princes
in moro primitive times or by modern
methods. The result is the same in any
event.
It is just as honorable and glorious 9
thing to accumulate a hundred million
unearned dollars and thereby master tho
bodies and subjugate the minds Of 10, =
900, 900 men as It is to do the SAINT
thing by virtue Of controlling a million
bayonots. On either hand it is power
usurped from the people to dwarf and
MAIN their minds and souls for tho
greater glory of their masters.
Our royal families need not stand
back for those Of Europe or Of any other
country. Thoir right to reign is as good,
their blood is as good, and their man.
ners. though sometimes indecent when
measured by ordinary standards Of de-
cency, are even better than those which
characterize the most courtiy courts OF
