A DIsGRAcEFUL SPECTACLE.

Some time ago a gentleman, we'll
acquainted in Anoka, in speaking of the
Wise tragedy, made the statement that
the people up there only regretted that
the whole family hadn't been wiped cut.
Such a sentiment may exist in that
neighborhoOd, and it may not but if the
actions of the two Wise girls are at all
indicative of the moral caliber of the en-
tire family, it is no wonder that the peo-
pie up there should look at it that way
These two girls, Martha and Eliza
Wise, who have sworn in court that with
two young men, they were engag ed in a
conspiracy to murder their own parents,
are now on public exhibition on the stage
of a dime museum in Minneapolis AMI
this brazen-faced and shameless exhi-
bitlon of criminal notoriety is attracting
the loW-down and morbi3 elements of the
Mill City in large numbers. The girls
would look a great deal better in their
proper place, behind iron bars, and the
crowds that go to stare at them, show
just about as much moral sense as the
girls themselves seem to possess.
After having engaged in the most
heinous crime that human nature is
capable of, these two girls, who are still
in their teens, instead of receiving their
we'll merited punishment, find them
elves the recipients of an amount of pub
lie, attention which means a handsome
income for them. If that does not en-
courage crime, the millennium certainly
must be at hand. If their present no
toriety and attendant income should ever
wane, the natural thing for them to do
would be to recoup by another crime, if
possible, more dastardly than their
first.
And the morbid boys and girls who
come and stare upon them cannot fail
to get the impression that the easiest
way to notoriety and handsome in
come is the commission of some heinous
crime.

that is practically the only function left
to him, if, as he evidently expects, he is
to remain in control of the minority
forces.
Through ell of Mr.. Bryan's article
there seems to run the settled conviction
of the writer that he is ordained to con-
tinue in the leadership of his party.
Later on it may be that Mr. Bryan Will
tell US on what basis hekproposes to con
duct that leadership Iie has not under
taken the task in The present article. 1t
is already time he did so. His future
leadership will be disphtsd much more Sc
riously than he or his friends now mag
inc. The party is more than Mr. Bryan
or his particular views33 When he with
drew from the party years age as the re
suit of the policy of Mr.. Cleveland, his
withdrawal, as the: event proved. was
merely nominal. He has had undisputed
leadership of the party for q period .-ot
long subsequent to that with1ra wal His
leadership in the future is not likely to
remain undisputed.. IF he has any rea-
son to- state why he should &c allowed to
drag down the party to hopeless defeat it
is time he stated it. Democrats do not re-
gard their party as the mere machinery
through which ambitious politicians may
give a national airing to their views.
They want party success. And as they
cannot have it under Mr.. Bryan's lead
ership they propose to have it under
some other

public will be directed to the alternative
route, across the isthmus.
This great enterprise is two-ffths COM
pleted. Five hundred million dollars Of
French money has been spent-or rather
wasted-in a work which, with modern
machinery could have been completed for
two hundred million.
1t is estimated that the canal can be
completed at an expenditure of
$40, Ooo,COO. This compares favorably
with the estimated cost of the
Nicaraguan proposition.
1t is understood that the Panama Canal
company has refused. so far. to place a
price upon it's property, or to furnish a
guarantee of title in case of American
purchase
The president of the company declares
that if the United States does not see
fit to purchase the property, the COM
pany can control ample means to finish
it.
The fact has lately come to the surface
that should the United States succeed in
building a canal across Nicaragua, and
fortify it, the nations of Europe will sup
ply the means to complete the Panama
route, to be maintained as a neutral wa
ter route, open to all nations but the
United States. In view of this report,
the independence of the Panama COM
pany in refusing to set a price upon it's
property becomes apparent. For it is evil
dent that if the United States concludes
to put $l5O,OOOOO0 into canal
it will be one that can be fortified
and controlled absolutely.
Should this be the Nicaraguan route,
well and good; if not, there is no deep
seated prejudice against the Panama
proposition, provided it becomes solely

IGNOR.ANr VOTERS.

AS far as the Intelligence of the voters
is concerned, the Republicans haven't
anything to boast of over the Democrats.
1t is well known fact what a scramble
there was among the Republican noroi-
nees here i'll st. Paul, last spring when
there were nine assemblymen to be elect
ed. Each man wanted to come drst in
the list, because he was afraid that the
Republican voters would not know
enough to vote for the entire list, and,
sure enough, the last two Republicans
on the list were defeated. just a few
days ago the Dispatch published an arti-
Gle from the indianapolis News, enti-
tied 1.-The Stupid Vote which, in speak
ing of this tendency to vote only Cor the
first name on the ticket, says: ''Mr.
Hugh Hanna, Republican electoral
large, received 1926 more votes than his
colleague, Mr.. Miller Thus some 1925
Republicans must have voted only for
the first name on the ticket. The strong
probability, the practical certainty, is
that they did this supposing that they
were voting the full ticket, for no man
could possibly have. any reason for vot-
ing for only one elettor.''

TELLS HOW 1T HAPPENED.

The article written by Mr.. Bryan for
can Review on the election of 1900 is dis
appointing in one specific direction It
declares the intention of It's author to set
forth later on in the article Ills view of
the result. AS matter of sact, Mr.. Bry-
an treats that subject only In the most
perfunctory manner, and fails to convey
to the country his understanding of the
influence of his own insistence on the free
silver issue being preserved as one OF the
questions which awaited settlement by
the electorate of the United States.
1t, is at best, but a thankless
and inconsiderate proceeding to en-
gage in the undertaking to ex-
plain the circumstances of personal
disaster. 1t is not so much that Mr..
Bryan has undertaken this task Per-
haps he regarded himself as merely max
ing a legitimate and requisite contrfbu-
ton to the literature Of the last cam
paign. Necessarily his undertaking as
sumes this character. Yet it is a ner-
formauce not wholly free from good lit
erary quality, or from contemporary in
terest far removed from the purely per
sonal aspect which it bears toward MIR.
Bryan.
The complaint of Mr.. Bryan may be di-
vided into three parts. He urges that the
trusts were in position to contribute in
definitely to the success of the Republican
campaign, and did So The expenditures
incident to the war, according to Mr.. Bry-
an, operated to convey the thought Of a.
prevailing prosperity to We people, which
was not warranted by the fact. In addi-
ton he insists that the outcry regarding
the situation from 1893 to 1876. under a
Democratic administration, contrasted
with results since under Republican con-
troll, in its relation to..f?1s PROSPERITY of
the people, was utilized 50 as to convex
false understanding to the popular
mind
1t does not matter that Mr. Bryan tolls
lis that while the Republicans were Dut-
ting forward certain contentious during
| the campaign as the ones which should
control the judgment Of the voting popu-
| lation, the administration will direct IFS
energies in other and entirely different
! directions. That is nothing 1t is ALWAYS
so in politics. 1t is so in every country
as it is here. AT the present ;noment the
enemies Of the Tory Unionist administca-
ton in England are urging precisely the
same argument in extenuation of the de-
feat which the Liberal party has endured.
1t would be much more acceptable to
the country had Mr.. Bryan undertaken
to tell us what he thinks is the right
thing to do in order to avoid a repetition
of the experiences of 1896 and 1900. But
he does not AS the accepted leader of

II MAY BE THE PANAMA CANAL.

IT MAY BE THE PANAMA CANAL.
Fortune seems just now to favor the ILL
starred Panama canal. 1t is possible cir
cumstances may so shape themselves
that the United States, bent upon own
ing an interoceanic canal, will turn to
the much-abused child of Ferdinand de
Lesseps and adopt it into the family.
The canal commission which has been
investigating the two routes favors the
Nicaraguan proposition. All might be
tionaI complications connected with this
route The Hay-Pauncefote treaty, now
pending in the senate, must be ratified
before the government can take up the
enterprise. The treaty forbids the forti-
fcation of the canal. To this the people
Of the United States will not submit.
Should the treaty be ratified, congress
will not appropriate the money to build a
canal which cannot be fortified In
time of war. If the treaty be
not ratified England will interpose
objections to the construction Of
the canal It is known that the admin
istration is bent upon the ratification of
the treaty and will use the sentiment in
favor of q ship canal between the oceans
as a lever to force the treaty through the
senate. In this the administration is
more than likely to fail. Arrayed against
the Nicaraguan route, will be the oppo-
nents of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. Ger

lobby which the Panama company will

ct is a serious question whether the
house of representatives did the proper
thing in passing the Grout oleo bill in
it's present shape. The dairy interests
could have been sufficiently protected by
compelling oleomargarine to be stamped
as such when placed on the market Oleo
serves as a competent and staple food for q
large class which cannot afford butter at
the prices demanded at certain times of
the year. The great haste manifested in
passing this bill looks very much as if
the members were trying to square them
selves with their rural constituents rather
than serve the general public.
