rope with their blood for centuries, fight

There Is one antfdote to socialism-the
only one principle of civil government
on which a safe and enduring liberty has
ever securely rested-it is the antidcte OF
indiyidualism Thomas Jefferson taught
it. Andrew Jackson enforced it. Abra-
ham Lincoln exemplifaed 1t.
The more Democrats the fewer Social
lists. 1t Is socialism in one perverted
form or other that Jeffersonian Democ-
racy has ever been arrayed against. Inc
socialism of William of Germany may
be well designed, just as the socialism
of Greece and Rome, which treated men
as mere units, may have been well de-
signed But it has no place in this re-
public and never will have in any con-
dition of society where the Individual
man seeks a fair field and no favor, and
where he is permitted to enjoy as his
own. not some other mans, the fruits OF
his own labors, abilities and sacrifices.

watch has not at its base the principle of
political influence as the main operating
force in the making Of appointments? Is
there a consular service today In any
country in which the merit system alone
is operative? Not at all. It is mere po-
litical delusion to contend otherwise.
Our strenuous president may Of course
reorganize the consular service. But it is
not within even the all sweeping range
of his powers as a refor1ner to discharge
the task which is set for him.
The civil service idea is a grand thing
to appeal to through a partisan press
between elections; but it has its lnlita-
tions of usefulness, as have most things
human.
Let men active in politics be appoint
ed censuls. If they are good men, why
not? Good citizenship is promoted by
such recognition of civic worth as Is inn
piled in an honorable public appointment,
consular or otherwise. President Roose-
welt can if he wills do much to bring
the service up to a high plane of eff
cheney. He can root out~the incapables
and refuse to appoint men of known I'M
fitness, no matter at whose instance. If
he undertakes the job of applying the
schooiboy test, sometimes known as the
competitive and some times known as the
merit system, he will simply be laying
up trouble for himself and hurting the
commercial interests of the country
abroad.

SOCIALISM UNDEMooRAqrc.

It is timely declaration, that which
Archbishop Corrigan, of New York,
makes on socialism. The ills of human
ity are great. UnhappHy there is not
always such mitigation of them as the
result Of civil government as many men
have been led to look for. The state
might do more for the individual oftener
than 1t dees-eyen more than it would be
good for the individual to have done for
him. But he who looks to government
for aid is usually the representative of
either of two classes-the predatory or
the degenerate.
Men whose emotional natures, whether
good or had, dominate their conduct and
beliefs, generally turn to socialism as the
true panacea for human heartlessness, as
well as for human unthrift. But no true
lover Of liberty ever yet turned to the
government for the conservation Of his
or others liberties. It is easy to read
history upside down. The man who, in
the light of history, will turn to the state
that is. to the government-for the pro-
motion of the welfare of the individual
must surely be deaf to its lessons
s'The government which governs least
governs best" This Is principle of
democratic belief which no human ex-
perience can gainsay. Every despot since.

British People Must Bear Heaviee
Taxation-John Morley Says
There Is Real Danger
Ahead.

LONDON. Nov. 4.-What is regarded
as an important announcement preparing
the people of Great Britain for new taxeg
and fresh loans was made tonight by tho
chancellor of the exchequer, Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach, in a speech at Bristol. Az
ter abiding to the enormous increase in
the ordinary expenditures of the govern
ment, he reviewed the war taxes ana
said that the increasing demand of the
national exchequer gave reasons for care
full thought and even anxiety for the fu-
ture.

is enormous said Sir Michael. 'It still
drags. 1t may be that I may later have
to ask the people Of this country to bear
even greater burdens and to make even
greater sacrifices"
John Morley. M. p. speaking at Forfar
Scotland, asserted that the ordinary an
nual expenditures of the British govern
ment had increased ELS, 600 during the

sion Of the sinking fund, E32D00 900. He
declared that there is real danger ahea(

A seriou. .auestIon Of Policy.

Two Numerically opposite policies, each
having direct bearing upon the same
question, have been steadily pursued by
our government for several years One of
these policies looks to the annexation Of
CUBA peaceful annexation, to be
brought about by voluntary action of the
people of Cuba and the cheerful assent of
the United States. The other policy Is
creating opposition to annexation and fos-
tering. a strong fight in congress against
such trade concessions as will be indis-
penSabie to Cuban prosperity.
our government has not granted, and it
ought not and will not grant full indie
pendence to the forthcoming Cuban re-
public. We are responsible to Cuba, to
ourselves, and to the world for the future
OF that island country. 1t is the desire
and expectation of an overwhelming ma
3ority of our people that Cuba should be-
come part of the United States. This
has been the hope Of successive genera
tons OF American statesmen of all par
ties. To the realization of this hope the
policy of our government in dealing with
Cuba since Spain placed her under our
care has been wisely directed.
Meanwhile the government, through the
department of agriculture, has actively
and enthusiastically fostered the beet
sugar industry until millions of dollars
are invested In it. The secretary of agri-
culture has encouraged the belief that
we can and should produce our entire
supply OF sugar. That was sound policy
before the war of 1893. Is it sound policy
today? Is it wise and prudent to go ON
building up an industry that will be to-
tally wrecked by Cuban annexation? Is
1t consistent, is it quite fair for the gov
eminent to promote annexation and sim
ultaneously promote the investment of
capital in interests whose death kneil an
nexation Will sound ashington Post.

: WEE1-MEnI1ED CRITICISM.

In the controversies which have ragged
among the several state institutions con-
sequent on the exercise of it's assumed
powers by the board of control h e
G 10 b e has been disposed to regard
that body as in the right.
1t has never allowed party considera-
tons to influence its opinions as to the
conduct of the board. Nor will it do so.
1t has not lost sight of the fact that the
members of the board are mostly skilled
and experienced politicians, and that
their appointment respectively was prob
ably Influenced by that fact. It has OBJ
served the disposition on their part to
play politics in the settlement of the dis
agreements which have arisen, and mas
called attention to the fact.
But. throughout. he Giob has al
ways recognized the fact that the mem
bers of the new body are business men,
and has given them credit for a desire to
serve the public faithfully. Their work
has been severely criticised. The criticism
continues. 1t is confined to no class. The
methods OF the board in many directions
are regarded as high-handed and alto
gether indefensble.
It was not necessary to read the article
printed in our Sunday edition touching
the board of control to learn that the
business men of this city particularly,
and of the state generally, have not
impartiaiity of the gentlemen composing
it. From the very outset individual COM
plants have been coming to us ernbody-
ing the essence of Sundays article. Al
lowing for the natural disappointment in
cident to seeing successful bidders coming
from the outside for the states supplies,
II h e G o b could not fail to be pro-
feundly impressed by these complaints.
The people of Minnesota, who pay its
taxes and assume the other obligations of
it's citizenship, demand of the board OF
control as they do of all other bodies.
that the funds at their disposal must be
expended SO far as possible within this
state and among it's people. The mer-
chants of st. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth
and the other cities Of Minnesota have
superior claims to consideration to the
merchants of communities which are
their commercial competitors. 1t should
not happen that the contracts for state
supplies are in nearly all cases awarded
to outsiders. No explanation that may
be offered will meet the ease. No econ
omy that may be pleaded will justify
sued, a policy.
ReserTing its opinion of the board of
control in other directions. h e g l ob
protests that its manner of advertising
fer bids, of the specification of its needs.
of the awarding Of its contracts, and of
its general management of its purchases
of supplies for state institutions not only
de not represent an improvement on past
methods but on their face are open to
serious public criticism.

IMPRoKE WHITE BE4R.

Without passing specifically upon the
proposal of Mr.. Ordway, 7 h e G o b e
is settled in the conviction that the only
effective means of raising the level Of
White Bear lake is through arfesian
wells.
The present condition of the lake is
discraditable. This is especially true OF
the west shore. Weeds project above the
surface well out into the body Of the
lake They render navigation difficult
and the enjoyment Of it's waters in their
vicinity in every way impossible. The
shore water is for large distances stag
nant and i'll smelling. Fishing, the chief
source OF popular enjoyment of the lake.
Is no longer pursued, and bathing. save
at Wildwood and where bathing houses
are maintained by individuals, is daps :
ous and in every way undesirable
1t is shame that White Bear lake
should thus be neglected and abused. 1t

finer body Of water it would be difficult
to find. It's picturesque shores are de-

accessible recently by electric means of

the ieKel of the lake were materially
raised, and its waters properly restocked
with fish by the state authorities. its pop

be as great as it ever was.

expedients which can only result in The
