the greatest good for the greatest nun
Der of any development of the century,
or, for that matter. in proportion to the
years of it's existence of anything of
modern times. and you will receive a
variety of replies. Nearly all will prob
ably name the ballot as the first of mod

press and other great governmental and
economic factors will each have their ac-
vocates.
After securing any thinking mans

about life insurance." The chances are
that he will not have considered it at all

tain that as soon as it is suggested a

rightful place among the foremost de-

agree that it has proved itself second to

institution that was almost unknown in
the middle of the last century, and that

RESPONSIBILITY FOR MOB VIC.
=aa',s, LENCE.


-aH.,.v LENCE.
Suits for damage aggregating over
$780, 600 have been pending against the
city of Chicago as result of the destruc-
strike of 1894. A test case brought by
Armour & Co., involving only $780, mas
just been decided in favor of the city,
and it is expected that the other suits
will now be dismissed.
The phases Of interest about this test
case are that it did not directly touch
upon the question of citys liability for
damage actually done by a mob, and that
it was shown that.the damage complained
of in the several suits was not inflicted
by a mob. The latter being proved to
the satisfaction of the jury, it was ap-
parently unnecessary to consider the
larger question of liability. Yet, had it
been under review, it would very likely
have resulted in defeat for the city The
latter's- attorneys must have taken this
view, for they bent all of their energies
to show that the rolling stock destroyed
was not burned by mob, but by not to
exceed dozen men, most of whom were
up to the beginning of the strike, en-
ployes of the corporations suffering loss.
It was also shown that the destruction
was premeditated. and carried out with
well defined purpose of avoiding de:ee-
ton. This is almost enough IN itself TO
discredit the mob theory, for mob sell
dom premeditates any specific act of law
lessness; it generally moves in a great
mass and goes it blind.
It has been settled, then, that city is
not liable for the acts of few individ-
uals, acting independently and with pre-
meditation, even though there be at the
time score of wild mobs about the
neighborhood. If the latter, as body,
are prevented from destroying property
the city thereby protects itself The acts
of evasive and cunning individuals are
classed as malicious mischief, an offense
that is likely to. occur at any time, even
during profound peace and quiet. The
city can and does exercise reasonable
vigilance to detect and prevent such acts,

observations, a much better feeling ex-

1t is true that some Democrats voted
AGAINST the Suffrage amendment, but it is
also true that quite a number of Repub-

present condition it would be better for

VINO voted for it were Hon. Thomas Pur-

PARAMOUNT STATE ISSUES.

PARAMOUNT STATE ISSUES. =
The issues for which a state ticket
stands are something entirely distinct
and different from those represented by
national ticket. candidate for the
presidency stands for certain principles
and issues which affect the whole ma
ton and every citizen in every state. A
candidate for the governorship stands
for certain issues that effect only his
particular state Thus it will have only
very remote bearing on the national
issues, the Philippine policy, expansion.
etc, whether this state elects John Lind
or S. R. Van SAINT as governor, but it
will make all the world of difference for
the state, and while every voter is con-
scientiousy studying the national issues
and making up his mind as to which
party represents his idea of right and
justice, it is fully as important that
everybody should study the state issues,
so that he can decide intelligently and
vote for the best interests of the state
and Of the people of the state at large.
1t is to the interest of every voter to
cast his ballot for that candidate who
will best serve the state and the people.
The people of Minnesota all know
what John Lind STANDS for. They have
given him trial and he has proved
worthy. He stands for honesty and eff
ciency and his record is such as every
citizen. of the state has reason to be
proud of. He we'll deserves the name of
Honest John"
There are in every state certain money
powers, certain syndieates and corpora
tons that make it a point to control the
government of the state in their own in
terest and to the detriment of the peo-
pie. By their corrupt influence over the
government they manage to obtain valu-
able grants and franchises and evade
the burdens of taxation, which should
rest equally On all:
Now it is by no means to be inferred
that all capital is dishonest. The above
applies to perhaps not more than half
dozen corporations in the state. but
these, by their corrupt practices, injure
not only the people at large, but also
every merchant, business man and capt.
talist in the state, and the business man
and the capitalist suffers more in com
parison as his financial interests are
greater.
OF all the governors the state of Min
nesota has ever had John Lind is the
first, and only one that has had the hon
esty and courage to make these corpora
tons come to terms. The work that has
been done in this respect under his direc-
ton has been of the greatest benefit TO

Our country through all its extent has

Labor and the great Industries of the

world. Our power and influence lin the
cause of freedom and enlightenment have

of our official representatives and many
of our people in China have been marvel
ously preserved. We have been gener-
ally exempt from pestilence and other
great calamities, and even the tragic Wis

Galveston made evident the sentiment
