ing Of these actions.
'.Capt. Van SAINT is making cam
paign surprising to his warinest admir-
.ers. He has handled the state Issues in
masterful manner, and his manly, un- .
assuming manners have won host OF
new friends for him wherever he has ap-

This "unassuming" candidate was IN
Chicago last January and was shaved in.
the barber shop Of the Auditorium ho-
tel. As he left the chair he asked the
colored man who shaved him if he knew
him. The barber said he did not, and
the modest captain replied, s.You have
just shaved the next governor Of Mime
sota." This seems almost incredulous.
Yet prominent st. Paul man, unknown
to Van, occupied the next chair, and
heard the bosstful claim, and felt dis
gusted owe, the all-consuming vanity of
the man who has been seeking the gov
ernorship 10 these many ye.rs.''-st.

An Illinois industry representing an
outlay OF $2,ooo,00o and five years labor
has been utterly destroyed by the Stand
ard Oil trust. Such an act would he
called anarchy if committed by an ind1-
vidual.
Several years ago the Cudahy Bros. of
Chicago went into competition against
the Standard Oil trust. They construct
ed six-inch pipe line, beginning near
Wabash, Ind, running westward $50
miles to Momence,iIl where extensive
oil refneries were built. In the laying
of the line and erection Of the plant
$2,000,000 we're expended and hundreds
of people given employment.
The abandonment of the line and the
closing down of the refineries are due to
their purchase by the Standard Oil trust.
The pipe line is being taken up. The
plant at Momence Is being turned over
to the bats. Competition has been wiped
out. And yet Mark Hanna says there
are no trusts.
1t costs $9,000,00O month to carly
On the war in the Philippines. This Is
the ex t,ensc III cash. The expense in hu-
man life is incalculable. Over 5000
deaths from wounds in battle and from
climatic diseases have occurred among
the American soldiers IN ''our newly ac-
quired Asatic possessions"
During twenty months ct the war in
the Philippines the expense of maintain
ing the army on the islands has been
6,678,00O. To carry On the war in
the future will require the same rate Of
expenditure that it has cost in the past.
Can we afford it?
Ii 1t were 4 question of national right,
Independence, freedom, unity or exist
ence there would be no doubt as to the
expenditure of the last dollar in our de-
fense. But this is question of conquer
ing another nation, Of subdulng its peo-
pie and selzing its territory.
Is it worth the expense to be paid by
the already overburdened taxpayers!
If it is worth the expense is it worth
the sacrifice of national right, duty and
justice which are involved.- Chicago

In his speech to the republicans at the
opera house Monday evening Judge EN-
cry, of Minneapolis, studiously avoided
state issues and devoted his entire time
to whistling the possible republican boil
ter back into the party It was an adj
dress strictly for republicans and con-
tanned little of argument: or suggestion
specious enough to draw votes from the
fusion ranks. In short, if Judge Emery
is the most plausible speaker with which
tho republican managers of Minnesota
are provided the fusion party of the
state has little to fear from their SPELL
binders. The principal theme of his
discourse was ''let we'll enough alore"
accompanied by, the somewhat shop
worn ''don't haul down the flag" al
though just what connection She rldan's
Ride from Winchester Town has tn do
with the present campaign i, is hard for
tie average person to figure out. Per-
haps the most noticeable feature of the
speech was his reiteration of the fact
that the administrators determination
