SUPPOSE.


From the Philadelphia Press.
Now that war has actually begun and
been in progress for four weeks the COun-
try has a chance to appreciate the posi-
tiOn in which it would be il We were at
real WARMTH a frst-class European
power of our own size.
The whole country is nervous over n
single Spanish fleet of four armored
cruisers some 1,GOO miles from our coast.
If the war were with England, by this
time twenty battleships would be off our
coast in two or even three divisions, each
twice as strong as our total strength of
battlcships. If with France, ten to
twelve battleships would be here, in two
divisions, each double our total battle
ship strength. our navy has done its
best and it is equal and not much more
than equal to a sXth-Class European
power. What possible chance would we
have against q tirst-ClaSS power?
After four weeks of war, with pro-
dlgious effort, the United States has some
5000 men at Tampa. This is the limit.
Some 5000 men are mustered in; but they
are not organized, they are not equipped
they are armed with an antiquated rifle
ten to fifteen years behind the times, and
they are undrilled After four weeks of
war the United States is still without an
army.
In four weeks, even Great Britain could
land 10000 men on our shores, and its
alliance with any one of three foreign
powers would enable 10000 men to oe
landed here France could have this
number ready to embark in week, as
could Germany, and the transports are
ready too. For lard service either coun-
try can set its whole army of 100000 men
in motion in Just six days.
Now that the country knows just how
war feels is it wise is it prudent, Is 1t
safe to have a fifth-class fleet and no
army whatever? This is our present po-
sition. We are making an army after
declaring war and our fleet is barely big
enough to meet Spain's. Our risks grow
as our power increases. and our army
and navy must grow with our risks. A
nrst-class power must have a first-class
fleet. If 1t does 1t will never have TO
waste time and stop business to fight a
fifth class power like Spain. An army
of 100000 men would have prevented this
war and given security from attack. Yet
congress has foolishly provided that when
the war is over the army shall fall back
to 1000 men. Yet congressman chatter
about a vigorous foreign policy. What
unmitigated nonsense such policy would
be for a country with a weak fleet and no
army,

have deliberately failed to renew their
licenses because they could just as well
get along without it. The licensed
saloonkeeper sees the proprietor of the
speakeasy prospering i'm his deliberate
evasion of the law, a few blocks away,
undisturbed in his criminal occupation
by the constable of the ward whose
duty il is to report the matter, and
who very well knows how matters
stand; and he is led finally to believe
compliance with the law in his case
an unnecessary trouble and expense.
We do not believe that it is the duty
of the district attorney to order whole
sale arrests of the owners of speak
easies His duty is to prosecute them
when they are brought under his ofilc-
ial cognizance by the constable of the
ward. As we take it, his public obli-
cations begin and end there. 1t is one
of the duties of the ward constable to
report to court the proprietors of the
speakeasies. There are none so blind
as those who do not want to see, and
If the constable of the ward does not
know a speakeasy when he sees it, or
has some private motive for not seeing
It, there is, we think, some ultimate
authority behind the constable to
which he may be made responsible, or
If there is not the high license law
must be set down as a public farce.
If the people could be brought to
understand what is so emphatically
and logically true, that every evasion
of the high license law is burden
thrown on their shoulders, the speak
easies would not be long in existence.
Our taxation has increased, is inCreas-
ing, and none can tell when and where
it may stop. Articles of domestic con-
sumption are considerably higher than
they were a twelve month ago, and
the poor find it more difficult to live.
The high license laws of this state
would materially relieve local taxation
|. if they were Systematically and uni
formly enforced. But so far from that
being the case, illicit sale of intoXi-
eating drink has grown to such dimen-
| sions that it is now a huge scandal.
| The time has arrived for honest and
| earnest citizenship to do something
| toward it's correction.

Representative Fars Renominated

The unanimous denomination yes
terdly rendered to Representative Farr
10y the Republicans of the First Legis-
latve district was a compliment richly
deserved, ami it is significant as point
ing to that unity of which the party
generally stands so much in need. For
the first time in years the convention
was entirely harmonious and this is as
it should he.
Mr.. Farr through long experience,
intelligent activity and persistence in
pushing for Legislative results Of bene-
fit to his district and to the common
wealth at large, has won a place Of
prominence at Harrisburg which adds
materially to the public value of his
services. His reelection is assured.

Opponents Of American imperialism,
those who argue that we should put
n wall about us, hide our republican
light under a bushel, and except in
processes of trade discOnnect ourselves
from the remainder of mankind, may
hap forget the parable of the talents.
ITO him who hath shall be given is as
true of nations as of individuals. The
nation which by Gods grace shows ex-
ceptional fitness to ordain and pre-
serve human liberty cannot without
moral cowardice run away from the
responsibilities which its superiority
incurs. If the United states is not
adequate to the problem of governing
wisely and humanely the colonial pos
sessions which Spain's unfitness has
forced or is about to put under our
care, what nation is?

States was engaCed. Many of them have
never seen a battle ship nor heard the
roar OF a cannon. These latter are par
tiCularly severe I'm their criticism of the
governments delay and are loud In their
demands that the naval strategy board
shall be abolished. They also demand TO
know why Sampson has not sunk the
Spanish fleet, why Havana has not been
bombarded and captured, why Porto Rico
has not been taken and why Dewey has
not been re-eniorood by an army of occu-
patton.
The answers TO all OF these questions
are obvious You must first catch your
Spanish feet before you can sink It, 1t Is
useless to attack Havana and Porto
Rico by sea until an army OF occupation
Is read to be embarked and volunteer
armies cannot he moblized, equipped and
made ready for service in day. 1t ought
to suggest itself to the amateur warmak-
ers that the president, who Is n soidier,
and his chief aids in the army and navy
are making as much haste as is warrant
ed by conditions. 1t ought 10 be apparent
to the fault-hnders that men who have
been trained In the science of warfare are
more likely to conduct a campaign with
greater skill than men who have neither
theoretical nor practical knowledge of
war.

1t was these same amateur warmakers
who clamorcd for a declaration of hos
tilities before the country was prepared
to wage an aggressive war, and had they
not been restrained by the cool and cour-
ageous opposition of the president the
country might have been placed at
great disadvantage at the beginning of
the conflict. Some people regard unbridled
criticism and wholesale denunciation of
the authorities as evidences of brillancy
and sagacity, but to people who are dry
behind the ears it seems to be idle and
silly. The government has already Gre

WARNING TO USERS OF BAKING

A CASE OF POISONING,
Cheap Alum Baking Powder the Caus,

Cheap Alum Baking Powder the Cause.
[Logansport, Ind, Times
'Dr. Souder was summoned by tele-
graph last Sunday night to attend the
family of Braden Harper, living
southwest of Logansport. -Four of
the family were poisoned by eating
dumplings. The father and one
child, who had not partaken of the
dumplings, were we'll, while the

ing the stomach, the four would have
died from the effects. 1t is supposed
the poison was caused from the bak-
ing powder used in making the dump
lings. The wife probably added a
larger quantity than she usually did,
which in the greater quantity proved
noxiOus poison. The baking pow
der used was branded the \

This should be a warning in using
cheap baking powders, which flood
the country. People buy them be-
cause they are cheap, and the mer-
chant buys them because he can sell
them for a profit. In many stores one
cannot purchase a standard brand.
You have to purchase the cheap stuff
or do without. We are of the opinion
that most of the prize baking pow
ders belong to this class"
The above makes plain the caution
that is necessary to use in adopting
new baking powders that are put up
in the houses as samples, or offered by
grocers simply because they are
cheaper than well known brands.
Burnt alum or phosphates we are as
sured will be found in nearly every
brand selling from 20 to 30 cents,
whereas first class powder is usually
sold in stores for about As cents per
pound. Some Of the powders that are
peddled from house to house to house
at thirty cents pound are said to be
made of alum, although they print
misleading notices on their labels
affecting the public to believe that
they are made of cream of tartar or
some harmless Ingredient.
Why people in order to save only
few pennies on a pound can of baking
powder which may last for months in
ordinary family use will take up with
every scheme that comes along, or
comply with the request of every one
who asks them to try some new
poison, is one of the things that peo-
pie OF common sense cannot under
stand.

JUNE 18th THE DAY.
Republican Congressional NOM
mating Convention.
The Committee Meets Friday and Its
Members Report No Opposi-
ton to McCleary.

Blue Earth county; Daniel Fichthorn,
of NicolIet county, Olaf Skyberg, of
Rock county; K. H. Helling, of Wat
onwan county; f. W. Drake, of Fari-
bault county, proxy for G. w. Bus

county, by his proxy, G. L. Benedict;
L. P. Hunt, proxy for W. W. Roby, of
Pipestone county. Mr.. Fichthorn
was chosen secretary of the meeting.
1t was decided to call the congress-
ional nominating convention to meet

The chairman was authorized to make
the call in accordance with the in
structions given him. The basis Of
representation was'made one delegate
for every 250 votes or major fraction
thereof cast for President Mckinley,
and five delegates at large for each
county.
By holding the convention two
days in advance of the state conven-
tion, it will allow more time for de-
liberation, and at the same time give
the delegates all Of the following day

The members of the committee
present reported that there is practi-
cally no opposition to Congressman
McCleary, and that hej will undoubt-
