Foreign Aid for HeaIwole.

Already, it appears, things political
have got to such a desperate stage IL.
the Third district that Joel HeatwoIe
is obliged to call in the assistance of
the national committee Of his party in
congress to help him out. It is not to
be regretted that Heatwole has seen
the necessity for this, for it will be as
we'll for the people of the district to
have the matters in issue put suuareIy
before them, to the end that they NAV
vote in the best light In any event
there ought to be no question Of the
defeat Of Heatwole, and that is what
the state most requires.
FROM partisan point of view RI
might not be so bad if an active man
with the capacity and will to do the
best he could for his state and dis
tr1ct held the seat from the Third, but
the district is charged with being re,
sponslble for man in congress whS:
has never at any time been recognized
by his party leaders, except when hja
vote was necessary and the nartv whir
had to be applied. Heatwole is. ac-
corolng to the election returns, a.
nonentity in his own town Of North.
HELD. He has been twice elected b.

apparent to the rest Of the district
that he has no other capacity than thai
OF spokesman, and retribution is very
near at hand for him. Mr.. Heatwole "a
attempting to make issues that do not
! exist. The only question before ths
people Of the Third district Is whether
they want to be really represented I'm
congress or whether they will have Joel
Heatwole continue there. The ona
thing that Heatwole has ACCOMPLISHED
for Mortified during his term in con.
gress is to secure for his partner
Pierce, place In the office Of the pub
lie printer at the rate Of $4,000 year.
The result Is not bad from the Piercs
point Of view, but the question comes
naturally before the people: Is that all
that Is to be expected Of q congress-
man in four years?

has gone out to the national body will

John Lind'S Letter.

The returns are now all In. Ths
Republican press has exploited the
statement Of Bank Examiner Kenyon
concerning the Brown County bank, of
which John Lind was for a time a di,
rector. They were greatly shocked at
Mr.. Kenyon's insinuation that Director
Lind had signed some reports about
his banks condition that in some way,
from the Kenyon point Of view, re-
fected upon the integrity of Candidate
Lind, and now that the returns are all
in and Candidate Lind's plain, straight
forward statement of the affair has
been made public, these same Phar-
isaical moulders of public opinion will
creep away from the Kenyon campaign
horror as rapidly as time will permit.
It is pretty late in the campaign to
print stories rejecting upon John
Iind's character. The plain people will
believe any explanation he may make
of any act Of his life. They will In
sist that his critic shall be somebody
besides Kenyon. Somehow they have
got it into their heads that official in

1t Is Causing Lot of Trouble Out

From the st. Cloud Daily Times.
''Why does Page Morris hang around St.
Cloud so much?" said a gentleman at the
Grand Central last evening. cit seems to
me have seen him here half a dozen times
in the last two weeks
The fact is Morris and his friends are very
much concerned as to the situation here.
When the postofice contest was on. the con-
gresham sent word that he was coming here
to learn the feeling Of the Republicans as to
their choice. and he invited them to call.
They responded. They came as the waves
come one following the other in a ceaseless.
never ending line. What was noticeable. roo.
they were very largely in favor of James A.
Martin. They came from the WEST side: they

to explain why he had concluded to ignore
the popular voice and turn down James A.

that Jim" was young and had an Office (city

man ever wrote such damphool epistle.

through the consular reports of the last
ten years in the interest of our COM

cation is worthy of serious considera-
ton. AS a reason for the embryonic
condition Of our trade in the South
American republics he points to the fol-
lowing conditions: First, the CONNER

language and in acquaintanceship with
the people Of the Spanish republics.
Second, the United States and the
Spanish republics have lacked in bank
ing facilities-importers and exporters

change. Third, the United States has
lacked in merchant marine for South
American ports, but Europe has not.

A DEMORALIZED PARTY.
The Allied Forces After the RepUb-
Iicans Everywhere.

The Allied Forces After the Repub-
Icans Everywhere.
From the Winona Daily Herald
Never since the organization of the state
has the Republican party been so demoraiz-
ed in Minnesota as it is during the present
campaign. The powerful Republican state
machine which has been in power so long
was defeated to give place to another Dolti-
cal machine, headed by w. H. Eustis who
is the representative Of great monopolies and
various combinations Of wealth The plain,
common people are sick and tired of great
corporate interests dominating the state
through Republican politicians, many Of
whom are professional politicians and make
politics their business for revenue only.
The nomination Of John Lind by the allied
forces Of this state has carried CONSERVATION
into the camp of these Republican bosses
and they have grave apprehensions that their
fate is doomed on the Sth day Of November
next
These apprehensions have been accentuated
since Mr.. Lind's return to the state, and
now that he is before the people, now that
he is addressing the electors of this state in
a candid and earnest manner he is gaining
every day. The intense earnestness Of the
man. the sincerity Of his words carries con-
viction to the hearts of his hearers. The
people know that John Lind is honest
man. The people know that John Lind has
the courage Of his convictions The people
know that John Lind would make an Impair
tial governor. The people know that his ad-
ministration would be clean and free from
dishonor The people know that John Lind
would execute the laws of the state without
fear or favor, to high or low, to rich and
poor alike. Knowing these things the cleo
tors Of this state have resolved that he shall
be the next governor of the state of Min
nescta.

Another new gas has recently been discov-
cred, not in the atmosphere this time, but
in the gases given off by certain volcanic
assures in the earth. The discovery is in
teresting as affcrding one more proof that
the elements of which the earth is composed
are precisely similar TO those which go to
make up the sun. 1t has been known for
some time that certain elements exist in the
corona of the sun of which no trace could
be found on earth. One of these, says the
Golden Penny, which has been named corona,
is reported to have been found by means OF
the spectroscope. Theoretically it should be
lighter than hydrogen, hitherto the lightest
element known, but as it has not yet been
obtained in a pure state this cannot be veri-
fed. 1t is to be hoped that this discovery
may be followed by others of a similar KIND.

DEAD TWENTY YEARS.
Queer Mistakes Page Morris Is

queer Mistakes Page Morris Is
Making In His Travels.
From the Duluth Tribunal.
A very good story is told Just now on Page
Morris, who. instead Of wearing kid gloves
and a black silk plug hat, as he id at
Washington, now goes around bare handed
and wearing common derby hat and
who, IN the hope Of catching votes rushes
up and shakes hands with almost every Tom
Dick or Harry that he happens to meet.
1t seems that the other day, when in quite
a crowd in the st. Louis hotel lobby. the
genial Page was extending the glad hand to
most any one who came along, when a tall,
long, lank and awkward young fellow from
Aftk1n came perambulating around, whom we
will call Brown Page eagerly reached
for Mr.. Brown, grasping his hand most COR
daily and apologizing at the same time for
failing to recollect his name.
Let's see" said Morris, "you live at
"Aitkin."
'Oh. yes, yes, I remember you now. How
are all the folks? How Is your father?"
Father is dead" was the solemn reply.
Dead; is that so? Well, that is too bad.
I had not heard Of it. When did he die2"
About twenty years ago." was the re-
Spouse.
Page blushed and stammered out some
thing about the weather and got away as
quickly as possible, while young Brown shut
fed on. and in the course of the next five
minutes found himself run up against Nor
ris.
How do you do" said Morris, again ex-
tending his hand; 'how are all the folks?
How is your father?"
Still dead" was the laconic but disgust
ed reply.
So that there are two votes out in Aitkin
county that Page Morris has lost; one is
that of cd Mr.. Brown, who is dead, aid
the other is young Mr.. Brown, who still lives.
ana VINO is not as verdant as Page took him
to be.
