Morris tribune., 1900-10-06

The only certain way of rendering
it necessary for our republic to enter
on career of ''militarism" would be
to abandon the Philippines to their
own tribes, and at the same time
either to guarantee a stable govern
ment among these tribes or to guar
antee them against outside interior
ence. A far larger army would be
required to secure order under any
such policy than will be required to
secure order under the American flag;
while the presence of this flag on the
islands is really the only possible Sc
curity against outside aggression.

It is to the everlasting credit Of the
newspaper profession that every re-
snectable journal in the state has ex-
pressed it's disapprovaE OF the indecent
cartoon Of Capt. Van SAINT that was got
fen I'D and sent out by the Democratic
nress bureau and used by large num-
her of Democratic, papers. OF >recen+
times 1t has come to be considered the
proper thing to use cartoons in political
campaigns, and often cartoon may
tell at a glance that which would re-
ouire a long story to make plain ia
words. So long as cartoons convey a
legitimate argument i'm a proper man
ner there is no objection to their use:
but when the cartoonist descends to the
level reached by the. ONE In question, it
must react upon the party that resorts
to 1t.
Capt. Van SAINT, while not a temper
ance fanatic, is personally total abb
stainer from all forms Of alcoholic
LIQUOR, and when the Democratic press
oictures him as Keeling, staggering
drunkard, it is perpetrating so gross a
libel that honest and decent people win
resent it as; an attack on decency and
an assault on, public morality. The bet
ter class of papers, even of Democratic
papers, expressed their hearty con-
tempt for the authors Of the outrage,
and one or. two that used it have since
apologized and placed the blame where
it bOlonged-on the shoulders OF the
Democratic committee

GENERAL IAPATHY.

There never was time within our
recollection says the editor OF the
Renyille Star Farmer, that there was
40 little enthusiasm in a national
campaign as at present. Here we
are less than six weeks before cleo
tion and we seldom hear an argu-
ment on the street corner or any
where else. Four years ago argu-
ments as to the merits of gold and
silver were rife three months before
this. Why is this change? The way
we size it up is that since the money
issue is settled and settled right by
the republicans in power, tie people
are not looking for an issue so far
away from home as the so-called I'M
perialism, and are satisfied that the
party could settle Cne money quoo
ton in a way that makes bread and
butter for the masses of the people at
home will in time settle the differ
ences abroad.
The people are busy and have no
time to talk politics. The newspa-
pers, it being part of their business,
are discussing pros and cons OF the
situation but outside of them and
nominees and politicians in general
the campaign is very quiet, and will
be to the end. It will cake big
hurrah to get all the voters out on
either side.

A STUDY of the religious weeklies
of the country shows that all Of them,
with a few exceptions in the extreme
south are supporting Mckinley this
year, in spite of the attacks OF the
prohibitionists, and in spite OF the
fact Bryan is also an active church
member in good standing" OILY a
few months ago, desperate efforts
were made by few Incorporate re-
formers to array the religious press,
against President Mckinley on ac-
count of the army canteen," the
practical operation of which was not
generally we'll understood Because
the President chose to follow the At
torney- Generals legal Interpretation
of law Of congress rather than their
own, these people planned a sys-
tamatic campaign Of abuse and de-
traction against him. His personal
habits were misrepresented, and he
was assailed on account Of the liquor
traffic in the Philippines, the facts in
regard to which we're distorted and
and exaggerated. The campaign
was carried into some of the great
religious assemblies and conventions
of the year, and strenuous efforts
were made to induce the conductors
of the religious newspapers to join
the crusade. Of course, agitation
led to investigation and the result is,
that the religious weeklies are almost
a unit in support of Mckinley.

LIEUTENANT HoBsoN, who figured

LIEUTENANT HoBsoN, who figured
so largely in the sensational papers
recently in an alleged denial to
Dewey of credit for the battle of
Manila Bay, is in this country and is
mad clear through. He says that the
interview which he gave out was SO
distorted that he did not recognize it
when it appeared in print. He adds:
Gas soon an Iarrived atVancouver Twas
approached by correspondent who
asked me about the Spanish warships
which 1 had been repairing at Hong
Kong. Among other things said
that the interiors of the sunken ships
we're badly warped, and that alto
gether the vessels were in sorry
condition" Did Dewey do that7"
81 was asked. / replied that seven
months submersion and not Admiral
Dewey was responsible for it. then
explained that the Spsniards had
sunk their vessels by opening the
seacocks. I also explained that it
was a she'll fire of Dewey's feet that
made them do this. I never had the
slightest intention of bellttling Ad-
miral Dewey's victory. / never knew
there was any doubt that the Span
iards had scuttled their own vessels.
But we all know why they did SO.
They would not have opened the sea-
cocks unless they had to. The war
ships had plenty of holes in them.
Anyone who knows anything about
a modern warship knows that it can
not be sunk in smooh sea by a dr.
rect fire. You may riddle warship
and set it on fire, and yet it will float,
because below the water line in re-

Morris tribune., 1900-10-06

While we may honestly disagree
as to the policy of expanding beyond
the seas says the st. Peter Free Press,
there is no good reason for predict
ing the downfall of the republic. If
poor, misgoverned Spain could stand
the strain of holding the Philippines,
without seriously interfering with
their affairs at home, the United
States is certainly in position to do
the same thing under more favorable
circumstances The holding of the
islands will require a permanent gar
rison of small military force, but
this will be counterbalanced ten-fold
by new market to our farmers and
manufacturers. These islands ale
the gem of the Pacific and produce
everv variety Of tropical products
used in this country and for most Of
which an export duty was formerly
charged that materially interferred
with the Interchange Of our own pro-
ducts. Under American rule condi-
tions will radically change in favor
of American trade and this can hard
~ be considered menace to our
popular form Of government.

II IS often true that a person ION
the ontside" can size up situation
much more accurately that one who
is in the midst of a contest. Accord
ingly, we reprint what Editor Goet-
Finger, of the Elbow Lake Herald,
says of the political situation in
Stevens county
THE writer spent two days at
Morris last week and heard consider
able political gossip while there.
Affairs political are getting to be
quite lively in Stevens county. The
Democrats and Populists have fused
and have full ticket in the field.
The pre-convention fight on Con
gresham Eddy has left some of the
politicians feeling sore; while few
seem to be rebellious, the more sensi-
BILE ones are supporting the congress
man, however, and it is safe to say
that he will carry the county. Gov.
Lind carried Stevens two years ago,
but Capt. Van SAINT is sure to redeem
it this trip. S. A. Flaherty appears
to stand as we'll with the people of
his home county as Judge G. L:
Brown, and that is saying a great
deal. Party lines are rot dawn to
any extent and Stevens will roll up
a magnificent vote for Judge Flaher-
ty. Two places ON the county ticket
is about all the Republicans are in
any danger of losing. A hard fight
is being made against Sheriff Munro
ard Judge of Probate Darling, but
odds are strongly in favor of the Re
publican nominees, and the chances
are, therefore, that the straight Re-
publican ticket will be elected from
head to foot despite the great claims
being made by the Popocrats. We
are under obligations to DIR. Game
and Fred E. Hodgson, two of our
former citizens, for making our stay
in Morris pleasant"
Morris tribune., 1900-10-06

For the convenience Of its readers
the Times should classify its matter
into Phil Space articles by the editor,
and Phil Rowe articles by Boss
Croker and his dry goods box secre-
tary. Heart to heart talks on the
convivial degeneracy of Republican
candidates should also be referred to
the latter combination.

The editor of the Times takes ex-
ception to SO many Of the schools OF
the county being taught by teachers
without certificates. AS the teachers
are chosen by the school boards, it is
cheap argument to blame Mr.. Rowe
AS a matter of fact, enough teachers
with certificates are not available, sc
Mr.. Rowe granted permits to those
ranking highest among the exami
nees in order that the schools nigh
be opened.
Morris tribune., 1900-10-06
aAcnlNE METHODS.

There is no political organization
today which has surrendered as COM
pletely to machine methods as tue
combination of factions which consti-
tutes the fusion party. The old
Peoples party at the time OF it's or
ganization uttered an honest protest
against the methods too often en-
ployed by political parties to accom-
pIish their objects. 1t was against
everything that goes to constitute a
political machine, and held up to
reprobation the practices that had
been employed to get office and to
hold on to it. In the simplicity OF
his heart, the Populist then believed
that he was cut out for reformer.
Not more, but even less than other
parties was the Peoples party able to
stand the test of success. The mo-
ment that it gathered votes and
seemed likely to have favors to be-
stow, the most corrupt and scheming
men from both of the old organiza-
tons aocked to it. They had no
voices in politics to deal with, and it
was comparatively easy for them to
get nominations. The characters of
Peoples party government became
notorious, and Minnesota will never
forget the legislature in which a
union of the Populist and Democaa-
tic members held control.
With the completion of fusion and
the melting into one, another stage.
Here the elements of the Peoples
party are completely assimilated, its
original ideals have disappeared en-
tirely, and under the spur of Demo
cratic impulses it is absorbed in the
pursuit of office for the sake of Office. |
1t uses all the old, bad methods and
inyents new. It makes no apologies,
but compacts itself into a machine
without hesitation or shame, Justify
ing the means by the end, and that
end no other than the control of pub
lie patronage.
The fusion movement in Minnesota
has now developed fully into the last
stage. Under the direction of it's
present managers it is as absolute
and INSCRIPTIONS a machine as you
will find anywhere outside of the
great cities. It has assessed the Of
flee holders numerically, and is in
possession of a pretty purse filled by
those methods. 1t is driven by al
boss, and we're and ruthless one
at that. There is no charge made
against the Republican party in Min
nesota in the past on account of ma
chine influence that does not lie
against the present control Of the
state. The Lind machine is in good
working order, and it has all the lat
est attachments.-Red Wing Repub-
lican.
