THE PRESIDENT AND THE SOUTH

Washington reports are to the effect
that President Roosevelt will assume
new attitude toward the south and
that all appointments there will be
closely scanned, and none made unless
the president is fully convinced that
the party is in every way suitable for
the place, and that. if he does not find
Republican who comes up to his
ideals, he will turn to the Democrats,
and select one there, the gold Demo
Gratis being given preference. Several
conferences have already been held it
is said, and others are pending. Not
only will the president confer with
Southern men, but also with party
leaders from the north as we'll. AL
ready it is said that appeals have been
made to Senator Hanna from the old
organization men in the south, but he
has turned a deaf ear to them, and is
inclined not to interfere. Threats
have also been made as to what will
10 oOuO LII UuO uOAU ldLiOuoA SohfOA
tion, but this will have no effect on the
president. He will do what he thinks
is right regardless of threats as to his
political future.
No president has been in better
shape to institute a new departure in
the south than is Roosevelt. He is
under no obligations whatever to any
set of politicians. He belongs not to
the old order of affairs, but comes
from a generation that knows the civil
war only as history. The work which
President Mckinley accomplished did
much to thoroughly reunite the two
sections. The ground work has been es-
tablished ready for President Roosevelt
to follow out on new lines and bring
about a more wholesome condition Of
political affairs there There is no
probability that political revolution
will be at once accomplished there,
but the idea which the president has
set forth will have the effect of open
ing up new conditions and making
it possible for men Of intelligence and
patriotism to express themselves on
national issues and so free them from
the intolerable condition now existing.

1.-THE AMERICAN GIRL
Is She Losing the Beauty That
Was Once a Nationa! Boast7

Bright eyes, rosy cheeks, an elastic
step and good appetite are the birth
right of every American girl. These are
the conditions that denote perfect health.
But, unfortunately, every day are seen
girls with pale, sallow compilations, lam
guild, round khouldered and listless, and
the question is often asked whether the
woman of to-day has lost the healthy
beauty which was once national char
acteristic. One of the most common
Affections of womankind is anamia, a
watery condition of the blood. This
causes untold misery and often leads to
other and even more serious diseases. It
can be cured, however, as the following
interview in the Harrisburg Star-Inde-
pendent will show. Miss Annie L.
Reel, Of No.910 Green street, Harrisburg,
Pa, who has been a sufferer from this
trouble, in answer to reporters ques-
ton, said:

years ago I had an unnatural craving
for highly seasoned food and after that

heart would beat about twice as fast
as it should. My limbs got SO weak
that had to rest on every step when
going up stairs. The color of my skin
was like that of a dead person. Ny

swell at times. The doctor who treated
me said my complaint was anamia.
"The doctor told me if had let the

for several weeks, but with little change
for the better"
"How, then, were you so completely
restored to health, p" asked the reporter.

1t is reported that there is d popular
wave in favor of annexation sweeping
over Cuba, and that it may possibly
be effective in bringing, about such a
result. 1t is said that this sentiment
is being aroused largely by the belief
that attempt at reciprocity will fail,
or that it will not result in advan-
tageous terms for the admission of
sugar and tobacco into the states, and
that unless terms can be effected by
which they can be admitted free or
practically free, that the prosperity of
the island will be greatly curtailed.
In the meantime the work of carrying
out the guarantee made by this coun-
try of establishing an independent
government on the island goes steadily
on 1t is thought now that the election
for president and members of congress
will be held in December next, and
that the new government will be in
augurated by the first of May next

monstrated to the world that it mean

The Two WarriDg Boards Make
a Compromise.
State Normal Board Makes an Honor.
able Surrender..-.Duluh Normal to-
Be Opened in January.

The state normal board Saturday
practically agreed to an honorable
surrender to the state board of control.
The normal board is to be RECOGNIZED
however, and the resident directors
are still to serve as purchasing agents,
but without compensation. All back
vouchers of the normal schools are to
be submitted to the board of control,
and in the future all accounts are to be
submitted promptly.
This proposition was made Saturday
afternoon at conference Of the state
normal board and President Leavitt
and DR.. Gould of the board of control.
The proposition was taken under ad-
visement, and will be considered by
the board of control Tuesday.
The normal board met at 10 O. clock
Saturday morning and did not adjourn
until clock in the evening. In the
afternoon conciliatory letter was re-
ceived from President Leavitt of the
board of control, suggesting that the
two boards get together and reach an
agreement.
The letter aroused the ire of Direc-
tor W. B. Mitchell of st. Cloud He
accused the members of the board of
control of duplicity and said he would
never confer with them again. and
would resign rather than serve in a
board under their jurisdiction. But
it was agreed to confer with the board
of control, and the two boards went
into secret session at 4 o'clock.
Early in the afternoon President
Ankeney made remarks about Direc-
tors G. A. Morey of Winona and W.
S. Hammond of st. James, who did
not attend the meeting.
II am not in favor of fighting bat
ties for skulkers, he said. 'This is
probably the most important meeting
the normal board ever held. Only a
matter of life and death should have
prevented loyal members from attend
ing

duck shooting and could not be pre-
sent

however, to designate uniform set of

Each faculty will continue to de-
eide upon what books it will use.
The purchase may be made by the
board of control, but the schools will
say what they want. This is strictly
educational matter, outside the pro-
vince of the board of control"
The new state normal school at Du-
luth will be opened the first Tuesday
in January. The state normal board
Saturday decided this was necessary
to secure any benefit from the So, 900
salary of Dr.. Bohannan, engaged as
president for the school
Director Phelps contended the school
should not be opened until next year,
when everything would be ready and
two annual appropriations of SO, 900

THE CUP REMAINS.

1t has been a battle royal, the con-
test for America cup, but the cup
remains with us. Friday the Column
bia won the third successive race,
making three out of possible five
and the contest is ended. Sir Thomas
Upton is a gentleman, every inch of
him. He has spent lots of money in
his effort to lift the cup, and he
brought over to America this year the
best challenger ever foated, and with
out doubt the best crew to man it, but
all without avail. The high mark OF
excellence which America has reached
was not met, and he goes back with

W. D. WASHBURN AND THE
TARIFF.

| FORMER S6udUOr w. -. Wdououlh VI
this state has long interview in the
Minneapolis Times of last Saturday,
in which he takes the position that
the time has come that protective
tariffs generally should be removed,
and a new policy entered upon. The
position he takes is most radical one,
and is doubtless largely influenced by
the interests he has developed during
the past few years in the oriental
trade, and doubtless if the protective
policy were largely wiped out Mr..
Washburn and his associates could pro-
fit more largely in prospective enter
prises there. The lines of business
which man follows Outlines and to
large extent determines his views upon
certain public questions. But Mr..
Washburn take very pessimistic view
of trusts and thinks there is no longer
any opportunity for young men, while
on the other hand great men of affairs
like Andrew Carnegie, Senator Depew
and others, express the opinion that
the opportunities for young men were
never better, and that where they fit
themselves for life's work. success
and large returns were never
more sure.
Mr.. Washburn labors under the idea
that the removal of the tariff on trust
40 oIc 1,o,,lI horo fnnHnnnv fO
kill the trusts, while equally as we'll
informed men hold the opinion that
the removal of the tariff duty would
make little difference with the most
strongly intrenched because they are
able TO take care of themselves. In
fact Mr.. Washburn cites a fact which
indicates that the tariff has little to
do with the prices made by the large
combinations. He says that steel
rails can be made at good profit and
sold at SIT ton, but the price charged
is about $2S. If Mr.. Washburn is COR
rect in his statement that there is a
profit in them at the former price,
then it will at once be seen that at the
latter price their profits are enormous.
The tariff is ST. top, and this
added TO the price which Mr.. Wash
burn says would yield good profit,
bringing the price to s24 or $25. But
the trust on his own figures; goes So
to 81 higher and still foreigners do
not interfere. The tarig could prob
ably be removed entirely without any
particular difference in the price.
And as the trust could take care of it
self if there were imports it is a case
where the duty could we'll be removed.
There are doubtless other cases here
and there, but in many instances the
removal of the entire duty will hit
many small manufacturers scattered
through the country. which are very
close to the people. They are not yet
in position to face Tree trade.
Much can be done in the way of re-
ciprocity treaties. If there was one
subject which was close to the heart
of the great James G. Blaineit was
that of reciprocity. He studied closely
and worked out many of its details,
and succeeded just before he died in
impressing it upon his party 1t was
tried with great success in connection
with the Mckinley tariff law, but
since Blaine's death, and its wiping
out by Democracy, little has been done
| with it. Now seems tho s=

Those people will surely bs some

The professor seems to- mistake the

nor the restriction of freedom of speech

mean that matters shall pe carried SO
far that murder and violence shall be
