course. raises the average of crime.
The economic changes which have taken
place in the last twenty-five or thirty
years will probably account for other
criminals. With the consolidation of in
dustries, and the invention of labor-sav
ing machinery, thousands of men have
from time TO time been thrown out of
work This was perhaps inevitable. But
while most of these men have struggled
back to Industrial independence in time,
a certain percentage of them always fall
by the wayside, and their children grow
up in poverty, perhaps in bad surround
ings. This produces young men and wo-
men who unconsciously tend toward
crime, because it offers a better livell-
hood than honest work. 1t is a danger
Gus thing to impress the mind of a young

Youth is likely to take risks at best, and
it is not well to increase the incIira-

other. an effort should be made in the
civilization OF the future to offer honest
work TO all who desire it.
While no one of these facts is probs-
bly, responsible for the general increase
in crime, all of them together probably
Will account for most of it; and it is
not impossible to counteract them by wise
and thoughtful work upon the social Or

Saratoga.
The Republican leaders were greatly
shocked this morning by the news OF the

Doubtful If This Saves
Him.

WINONA, Mimi, Oct. S.-(Special.)-
The first issue of the new Democratic
daily made its appearance today. 1t is
called the Evening Democrat, and is a
four-page, SeVen-column paper. 1t Is
gotten UP in very neat style, and is print
ed by the Joseph L. Leicht Press COM
pany. The new paper will prove power
full organ for the Democrats IN this part
of the country owing to changing the
Winona Daily Herald, formerly Demo-
cratic, into a Republican sheet.
The Democrat, while an organ of L. l..
Brown, will support both the national
and state tickets. The sheet was started
on money raised by private subscription
from leading Democrats in this county
1t will be the main object of the sheet
to defeat Tawney for congress, and it
will fight him tooth and nail throughout
the campaign. L. L. Brown, the Demo-
cratic nominee, has taken the big lumber
trust in which Congressman Tawney was
interested in, as his leading topic while
on the stump and he is working great
havoc among the Republicans.
Brown is a powerful speaker, one that
carries everything before him. His argu-
ments are overwhelming, and he leaves
no room for doubt on any subject he
spaks. Brown is certain of Winona coun-
ty by at least 90G or 1000 votes and he
will carry Wabasha and Steele counties
by safe majOrities. Waseca county is
also counted among the Democratic
counties, although the Republicans are
not willing to concede it. The Repub-
licans are reasonably sure of Olmsted,
Freedom and Mower counties, though
TaWney's majority in all three of them
will be greatly lessened.
In the other counties Of the district
there will be hot fights, and 1t is impos-
sfble to get much of a line on them as
yet. There is no doubt but what Tawney
and his supporters are fer the fret time
in their political lives scared, and, as a
result, are throwing quantities Of money
into the district to insure Tawney's re-
election.
