indianapolis Wants the Convention
and Is Working Hard.


The Indiana Woodmen delegation arriv-
ed at the Windsor hotel yesterday morn
ing, and in parlors $3.50 at once got down
to business of the greatest Importance
to Indiana-that of laying the ground
plans to capture the biennial convention
for 1903; of electing L. w Otto, Of Craw-
louisville, a member of the board of di-
rectors, and re-electing F. E. Georgia,
of Muncie, as member of the board Of
auditors
Accompanying the Indiana delegates
was band of 'rooters'' for indianapolis
consisting of Charles L. Remy, R J. Bos-
worth, w. A. Mackey, c. A Gunder, Drs
c. E. Worth, q. G. Prau and j. Benham,
w. A. Johnson, Charles II. Bracket. Jo-
seph G. Bruce and others.
AS result of yesterdays work on the
part of these gentlemen, nearly all dele
gates were last evening wearing Indian
apolis badges. They may have been wear
ing them because the badges were pretty
and were complimentary or it may be
true, as stated by Secretary Lewis A
Coleman, that nearly every delegate who
had arrived up to last evening-about
200 in all-had agreed to support Indian
apolis endeayOrs to land the 1903 con-
vention.
One of the Indianapolis contingent's
arguments in support of the superior ad-
Vantages of that city as a convention
center is that Indianapolis has 125 pas
senger trains daily; that it has an es.
tablished reputation as a convention
city; that good policy dictates locating
the next convention there because the
society is rapidly increasing it's member
ship eastward, and the convention would
give beneficial impetus to this growth
Indiana is on the eastern edge of the
old western Woodmen jurisdiction, and
on the western edge of the new eastern
territory" said Chairman O. r. Wald
of the Indianapolis committee last even
ing.
Common sense dictates that both the
East and West be considered .
Two years ago, at the Kansas CITY
convention, Indianapolis withdrew from
the field in favor of st. Paul, thereby
permitting st. Paul to win the present
convention. Now the Indianapolis root
ers are eXultantly claiming the support
Of the Minnesota delegation Also they
claim the united support of the Iowa del
egation on the ground that at the Kan
sas City convention the Indiana delega-
ton elected Frank r. Croker, The pes
ent head banker Mr.. Crocker, who re-
sides at Charlton, Iowa, was IoWas can
didate for head banker and, so the story
goes, the Iowa people secured the fuii'
vote of Indiana for Crocker after prom
Using to vote for indianapolis for the-19O9
convention. Indiana now expects Iowa
to deliver the goods.
About Wednesday Hugh MCGOWAN and
Evans Woolen, of the Indianapolis Com
mercial club, Gov. Durbin of Indiana.
and Mayor TONY Taggart, of Indian
apolis, will arrive in St. Paul. to assist
in 'gingering up the campaign for In
dianapolis.

in the character he is portraying. The
player was warmly greeted last evening.
Miss May Buckley is hardly so familiar
to local audience as Mr.. Drouet, there
fore a pleasant surprise was in store for
many last evening. Miss Buckley is an
exceedingly attractive girl, with chic,
high-bred, little face She possesses that
rare quality which, for want of better
expression, we will call magnetism, -
and which commands attention the min

gowns as if they were made for her-not

the integrity of the Monroe doctrine; but
at least there can be no circumstance
which will justify the United States tax
ing any risk of the island of Cuba being
made a, base of operations against this
country by any hostile power, either
through the action of the existing Cuban
government or otherwise. In this respect
the United States regards Cuba as oecu-
plying the same relation to its national
safety that England regards Ireland as
occupying towards hers. and is. prepar-
ed to take every precaution consistent
with Cuban liberty to protect itself
against any such contingency.
The problem is difficult one from
whatever standpoint it is viewed. But
the Cuban people, if they are wise, will
speed the unqualified adoption of the
PIatt amendments and leave to the fu-
ture the questions of internal economy
which viii engage the best thought Of
the island successfully if Cuba is des-
tined to be and remain a free state.

stitutional limitations are not to be wiped
out completely without protest more or
less on the part of the common people
of the United States.
If there were no other question on
which the Democratic party might go to
the country the one of the mainte-
nance of a burdensome and inequitable
tariff would of itself offer splendid is
sue. The self-sustaining and self-re-
specting manufacturing interests of the
country are not willing that few great
interests shall have the special privileges
which the Dingley tariff confers on them
without the people understanding that the
gain is not to them, ana that the existing
tariff in its relation to their industries
is rather a hindrance than help.
We are daily avowing our readiness to
invade the markets of the world. We are
successfully competing with foreigners
in manufactured products in their own
lands. We announce our readiness to
produce given manufactured commodi-
ties at figures considerably below those
at which they can be produced abroad.
We are selling to fore gners at lower
prices than to our own people. Foreign
nations are watching our progress. VIII
they apply to US the same rule which we
applied to them in the days when we had
infant industries to nurture and protect,
and which we still continue to apply in
this day when our avowal is heard all
over the globe that we are ready to meet
them on equal terms in their own mar
kets?
Here is a question which is giving con-
Germ to the more thoughtful of American
manufacturers. Why invite retaliation?
The manufacturing trusts which are pro-
tected by tariff legislation are forcing
their demands on the party. Those de-
mands are a first len on the Republican
party assets. The foreclosure of that lien
is as certain as death or the tax gath
erer. Is there no issue to be made here
existence some more national almoners
on the Carnegie plan rather than do
away with the bounties which the nation
is paying to favored manufacturers
through the Dingley tariff?
The delusion of the administration pol
iticians that there is no Question to be
discussed before the American parties
involving the gain of continued Repub-
Ican ascendancy is competent one. The
G 0 b e sincerely hopes that it will be
maintained for sufficiently long period
of time.

An examination of the party platforms

periods. Intervening between presidential
elections and succeeding or preceding con-
gressional elections are the formative ne
RODS in the PRONUNCIATION Of party policy.
We have entered on one of these periods.
Public thought is focusing itself on the
different questions which are likely to be
contested between the parties, and the
molding of party opinion is steadily in
progress,
The Republican politicians and news
papers are quite hilarious in their express
Sion of the conviction that there is no
issue left for the Democratic party on
which to contest Republican supremacy
since the supreme court decision has been
announced on insuiar administration.
The inference of course is that the ad-
ministration politicians are impeccabIe.
and that they in their conceptions of the
national welfare have realized the very

WHAT EACH OF US NIGHT Do.

HI E4-ANIt OE 4 y HlICEtI EJO.
The advent Of the hosts of the Wood
men Of America imposes a serious duty
on the mass of the people of st. Paul.
The city itself has discharged its obIiga-
tons in a manner which attests it's full
appreciation of the greatness of the con-
vention which opens in ST Paul today.
The business community, too, has con-
tributed literally to perfecting' the ar
rangements for the convenient exercise
of the city's hospitality. The commercial
bodies have shown the most commend
able activity; and notwithstanding the
vast demands which have been made on
the resources of the community and on
its leading citizens, including the mem
bers of our commercial bodies, by the
succession of conventions which has been
in progress since the opening of the sum-
mer, the work is being continued with
out the slightest cessation.
1t is to the individual citizen, who does
not regard himself ordinarily as having
any duty to discharge on such occasions,
that an appeal now lies. From 1900 to
100000 strangers will walk the streets of
St Paul during the present week. It
will be a physical impossibility for those
who have charged themselves with the
work of entertainment of the incoming
delegates to meet the necessities of each
individual case. Hundreds of delegates
viii find themselves without direction OR
oompanionship, strangers in a strange
community, not being able to locate the
principal points Of interest and utterly
unacquainted with either individuals or
localities.
Committees Of citizens ought to be in
existence whose work it should be to see
that each group or individual on the
streets is relieved from the necessity of
depending on his or its own resources
Points of local interest should be pointed
out. Facilities, simple in themselves but
wholly unavailable to strangers. should
be brought within their reach for famil-
iarizing themselves with the city and its
environments. We owe this much to our
selves apart entirely from our duty to
our visitors.
Take a given case: There will not be
10 per cent of the visitors who are not
bicycle riders. Perhaps not one of them
viii come provided with their own wheels.
Not 10 per cent OF those will ever have
the remotest idea of the beauties of the
environments of st. Paul or of the spIen-
did provision which the city has made
for riders, where 80 per cent of them could
be entertained in royal fashion and leave
with the most pleasurable memories of
the city could they have bicycles placed
at their disposal and We're they chaper-
oned through the principal paths in the
City and its environments
There are endless ways in which the
private citizen can help to make the stay
Of the visitors more pleasant than it
would be without his intervention Since
no provision has been made in this or
corresponding directions the individual
citizen ought to deem it a duty devolving
on him by the necessities of the case to
go out Of his way wherever opportunity
presents itself to bring pleasure to one or
more of the strangers who will be within
our gates during the week

The Merry Widows company is the at
traction at the Star this week, which is
the last of the season. Crowded houses
witnessed both performances yesterday.
Good singing, good comedy and clever
specialties are to be found on the pro-
gramme from the opening burletta to
the final fall Of the curtain. Mcfarland
and Murray seemed to be the favorites
OF the audiences, and their comic sketch
as the Irish ambassador was the funniest
hit of the performance. Marie Rogers
has good contralto voice which is dis
played to good advantage in several
songs, among which the inevitable rag
time was conspicuous She also incor-
rorated a spice of humorous dialogue
into her turn" which was well appre-
c1ated. The ROSES brothers contributed

ing burletta is entitled "a High Flyer, -

Incoming Trains Continue to Bring
Large Crowds.
AS above minated, several of the
trains were delayed for various reasons.
and the first big trainload of visitors
arrived over the Milwaukee road about
7:35 last night, having on board six teams
from Grand Rapids, one team from Ben
ton Harbor, a team from Pontiac, and
one from Joliet. Ill, the latter boarding
the train en- route.
The Grand Rapids members and dele
gates are accompanied by a number of
enthusiastic hackers who will endeavor
to help land the next convention for that
city, which has a good chance for WIN
ming the prize. The camps are COM
posed of the uniform rank of Foresters
and they were met at the depot by mem
bers of the reception committee and es-
corted to Camp -Northcott, located at
University avenue and Victoria street
Other contestants for the next nation
al encampment are the cities of Indian
apolis, Los Angeles and Saratoga, but
as Grand Rapids was St Pauls principal
competitor for the honors last time, it
is regarded as reasonably certain that
she will be successful this year. In adj
dition to other factors that have besn
