ToWNE ON ROOSEVELT.

Ii is strange how some peoples
estimate of the same person or
event will change when prejudice
supplants Judgment. When assist
ant secretary of the Navy Roose-
Welt resigned his position to take
a subordinate position in the army
at the front in the Cuban cam,
paign, he was hero; when, in a
vigorous protest against palpable
abuses in the commissary depart
ment of the army he addressed a
very pointed letter to the war de-
partment, he was saint. Now
that he is candidate for vice
president on the Republican ticket
he is a coward and deep-dyed
sinner.
This is Mr.. Towne's estimate sol
Mr.. Roosevelt a year ago:
"While it is true the history OF war
fare on the land records few finer ex
hibitions of personal bravery thar
those witnessed on the hill of Sar
Juan, and the naval battles of Manila
and Santiago will sustain comparison
with the most famous engagements o.
the greatest captains of the sea, YET
succeeding ages will recall that the
ability and heroism of Dewey and
Schley and Roosevelt and their brave
associates, added a new title to the
graceful remembrance of mankind. :
! Mr.. ToWne and his echos now
assume to consider Roosevelt a
coWardly disgrace to American
citizenship. Bah!

QUESTIONS, it may be mentioned that
the administration has disfranchised
thousands of Porto Ricans because
they cannot read and write and do
not own property.-Duluth Herald,
What more puerile? The Porto
Ricans have not been diSfranchised
for they never were enfranchised.
In the formation of a government
on lines wholly new to them,
would the Herald for a moment ad.
vocate turning such government
in its formative period, to horde
of penniless illiterates? 1t is too
absurd for considerations Speak
ing of disfranchisement, however,
how about the native born negro
of the south? Neither property,
intelligence nor any other than
color prejudice is the basis of dis
reimbursement. That it was purely
a democratic partisan scheme for
the sole purpose of perpetuating
democratic supremacy seems to rob
it of all turpitude in the minds of
such as the Herald.

Duluth democrats are sore because
the balance of the Sixth district dem
ocrats insisted upon nominating a
man of their own choice rather than
the man Duluth had selected for con-
gresham. The trouble with Duluth
is that it over estimates it's Importance
in democratic politics. However, as
the man nominated will be more easy
to beat than the one proposed by Du-
luth, we don't know that we have any
kick coming. 1t has been settled for
some time that Page Morris was to be
reelected and with Truelsen as the
opposing candidate, it is more tn an
ever merely question of the size of
his majority.-Elk River Star News.

bird OF prey dropped several degrees In

how 1t occurred:
Somebody fastened the door of the
fearsome birds cage rather loosely and
1t escaped. Children fed shrieking,
men sought the animal houses, and the
condor strutted proudly up and down,
its formidable beak half open and Its
bare neck looking like serpent. A

MORE PERMANENT MEN.
Ordinances Now in the Hands Of
the Mayor and on Passage
Through Councils.

Ordinances providing for four addi-
tional permanent men have passed
either select or common council within
the past week and are now in the hands
Of the mayor awaiting his approval.
Whether this approval will be forth
coming or not is not known, as the
mayor will not discuss the question.
That it will be, however, is believed, as
only last week he approved an ordi-
nance providing for the appointment Of
a man for the Century company.
The four permanent men above men,
toned are for the Excelsior. Liberty,
Niagara and Columbia companies. The
first three companies have only one
man EACH but the Columbia has three.
The reason given for the appoint
ment of this fourth man is that one of
the men now on duty drives the chief.
There will, however, be no appoint
ments made for some time yet, if the
ordinances are approved by the mayor,
as they distinctly specify that the men
are not to be named until an appro-
priation has been made for their sal
airy. The ultimate fate of the ordi-
nances is therefore in the hands of the
estimates committee.
Ordinances are now on the way pro-
viding for additional men for the fol-
lowing companies: General Phinney,
Neptune, Hook and Ladder and Cum
berland. If all of these are passed and
appropriation made for each, the city
