not necessarily poor printing may be
questioned by some printers who have
not kept pace with the advance of the
times. The Introduction of labor-saving
machinery in the modern printing Of
flee has had the effect of reducing the
cost of the output and at the same time
improving it's quality. Printers who have
not kept step with the times and
equipped their plants with the labor-sav-
ing devices are still compelled to make
cheap printing poor printing.

The First Impression.

With School Catalogues, from which
the possible patron will receive his or
her first impression Of the character of
the institution the publication represents,
it is Of the most vital Importance that
the printed matter be of high order of
excellence, so that this first impression
will not prejudice the recipient against
the institution, but rather give the i'm
preston that everything connected with
it is of the best-even to it's annual cata-
lOgue.

How We Do 1t.

OF late years we have made spe-
cialty of school printing, and especially
the printing Of Annual Catalogues for
educational institutions. In order to fill
all the requirements we have invested
$4,000 in improved machinery for this
class of work-type-setting machines,
presses, binders, etc. This machinery en-
ables US to do the highest class of work
at prices that would be impossible with
out it.

Money spent for poor printing In nearly.

Effects of Good Printing.

If it is the aim of those who send out
Catalogues, Circulars, etc., to impress
upon those to whom they are sent the
fact that what they offer is Of the best,
it is necessary that the printed matter
through which they speak should be of
the highest class, nothing shabby. shoddy
or SlOuchy.

ter, for haveyne yet heard it adj
vanced under the plea of public polity
that it was justifable to permanently
take the property Of one taxpayer and
transfer it to another's private use to
enable the (attersto carry on an industry
which, but for such aid, would not be
profitable or self-sustaining.
From the report of the officers of the
beet sugar corporation, the governor in
ferred that it would increase it's produce
ton over that OF last year by $50 per
cent, and perhaps treble it, and thus be-
fore the Legislature met in 1901 this sim
gle corporation might claim for bounties
as high as 100000. In view of the
state of the treasury and the burden al
ready borne by the taxpayers of the
commonwealth, he thought 1t imperative
that the act of 1895 should be so amend
ed as to specifically limit the appropr-
ations to be paid out to those engaged
in this particular industry. He there
fore returned the bill without his sigma
ture and concluded his veto message as
follows:
Il do this with less hesitancy, as there
is ample time at this early period of the
session for the legislature to make
proper provision for the safety of the
treasury, either by the repeal of chap
ter l05, or by limiting it's operations as
suggested, and at the same time appro-
pirate the fund to pay the claims accrued
under it to date"
Instead of adopting the recommended
tons of Gov. Lind to amend the bill as
suggested that they pay the claims I'M
der it to date, the Republicans of the
house and senate, to show their numer-
ical strength and their defiance of re-
a large majority. A few Democrats
voted with them and explained why they
did SO, but it appears to us they misun-
derstood the governors action and never
sage. Some of the members of both
houses admitted that the views of the
governor were correct, but they were
not to be coerced by the veto of a gov
ernor not elected by the plutocratic
classes. They felt indignant and re-
scented his interference in an emphatic
manner. An iron bounty bill was COM
ing up and they surmised that it also
would be vetoed on the same ground as
the sugar bounty bill, and so they gave
the governor to understand that they
would not submit to him even for the
benefit of the taxpayers of the state.
But there is day of reckoning coming,
when they must give an account of their
stewardship and be cast aside if they
do not safeguard the public treasury and
allow no raids to be made upon it in the
interest of the beneticiaries Of bounties
and subsidies

They have had better chance Of know

1t is a significant fact that Gen. c.
Mac c Reeve, of this city has resigned his
commission in the invading army, and
left Manila for Japan with his patriotic
wife, who accompanied him across the
Pacific. Gen. Reeve, like good Demo-
crat, offered his services to free the Gu
bans from Spanish oppression, but he
was sent to the Orient to subjugate a
people struggling for liberty. Knowing
what type Of American he is, we may
safely assume that he left the army
rather than enforce the policy of the
Mckinley administration for the sole
benefit of the commercial interests, of
which the senator from Minnesota is the
most INSCRIPTIONS and unprincipled
champion in the whole country.

Judging from recent events in railway
circles it is the purpose of number of
the prominent lines to build important
and much needed extensions this year
and next, which will have the effect of
directing commerce through this state
which has heretofore found its outlet
via other routes. Especially will this be
true of the extension of the Minneapolis
and st. Louis railroad from New Ulm to
Omaha, the value of which to this COM
monwealth cannot be overestimated. In
this connection it may be we'll to suggest
to the legislature now in session the pos
sibility that bills now before that body
to increase the gross earnings tax and
to reduce passenger rates, if passed,
might have the effect of putting a stop
to railroad construction. The passenger
rates in this state average only 2.3 cents
per mile, which in proportion to our pop
ulation, is lower than in any other
state. We need railroads to develop our
unoccupied territory, and nothing con-
tributes SO greatly to prosperity as the
construction of new lines Of road, which
gives employment to thousands, puts
millions of capital in circulation, at
tracts settlers and investors, increases
our commerce, and gives renewed vital
ity to every industry, pursuit and enter
prise.

In his speech at Ann Arbor university,
last Saturday night, Col. w. J. Bryan
expanded the thought he had expressed
in Minneapolis few days before, in an
swer to the charge that the senators
who voted against the peace treaty were
responsible for the second battle of Ma
Mia. He said: "They must lay the
blame upon American statesmen long
since dead Patrick Henry was respon-
sible to some extent because the senti-
ments expressed in his speech have
found Judgment in the hearts of all
the races. Washington must also be
blamed, for when he drew his sword in
defense of the rights of the colonists, he
gave inspiration to all similarly situated
Jefferson was largely to blame because
the Declaration of independence, the
work of his pen, has been an inspiration
to the lovers of liberty in every cline.
Abraham Lincoln cannot escape his
share of the blame, if those are to be
blamed who have aroused among the op-
pressed desire for participation 4 the
government under which they lived.
When the great emancipation delivered
his speech at Gettysburg and declared
that a government of the people, for the
people and by the people shall not perish
from the earth,' he did more to stimu-
late the desire for self-government than
has been done by any other public man
in half century,"

THE SUGAR BOUNTY BILL.

1t goes without saying that the Re-
publican members of the Minnesota leg
islature firmly believe in the cardinal
principles of the plutocratic party they
represent. among which are high tariffs,
subsidies and bountes for the promotion
expense. The Minnesota solons during
the past 10 years had unlimited sway in
passing any bill they pleased without en-
cOuntering protest from the Repub-
lican governors but this year a man oc-
cupies the executive chair who will say
Il forbid" to any legislation that is not
in the interest of the people at large
In 1895 the Republican legislature of
this state provided for the payment of a
bounty of cent per pound to those who
engage in the beet sugar industry, but
omitted to place any limitation as to the
time during which the bounty shall be
paid, or to the aggregate amount to be
paid to any individual or corporation
Ii may be all right to encourage a new
industry in it's infancy by bounty in
order to give it an impetus, and assure
its success; but when it has grown to
gigantic proportions. as is often the
case, it certainly should be conducted
like other enterprises without any aid
from the public treasury.
Gov Lind exercised the veto power
for the first time last week when he
sent message to the speaker of the
house Of representatives. explaining why
he would not sign the appropriation
bill passed by that body for the benefit
of Il corporation which claims to have
earned $l9,975 under the sugar bounty
legislation of four years ago. The gov

of this state is determined to use the
