STATE THYME.


The manufacture of Irvine by the Min
nesota state prisoners, and the starting
of similar plants in other states has
aroused the hostility of the Irvine trust
and the trust proposes this year to sell
Irvine at loss to undersell the state
prison Irvine, and hopes by these tactics
to force the prisons out of the Irvine
business.
These are the same old tactics by
which trusts everywhere crushed COM
petition, but in this case there would
seem to be a chance to beat the trust
at its own game. Labor unions have
tried to beat the trusts by boycotting.
They have pleaded with people to not
trade with department and supply
houses. but all to no avail
The masses will trade where they can
buy cheapest. This must be accepted
as a fundamental truth.
1t is useless to expect farmers to nay
mere for state Irvine than they are
asked to pay for trust Irvine. When the
trust runs it's competitors out of bust
ness it again puts up the price and re-
coups it's losses.
Every farmer knows this. Every
farmer has seen this same trick played
by corporation elevators against private
elevators. There is no new feature in
the game. 1t is the same old chestnut.
What is the remedy? Create a public
sentiment that will demand that state
Irvine be sold as cheap as the cheapest

DEMOCRATS REORGANIZE.

A few years ago New York was re-
garded as holding the balance Of power
in American politics. 1t was a common
expression, LAS goes New York, so goes
the country
New York city was the potent factor
in New York elections. New York city
was the political hub of the union. To-
day the hub has moved westward to
Chicago. Illinois has taken a position
in American politics of commanding
influence. Chicago is the great political
center of the nation and all politicians
look to Illinois as an index to future
elections.
The Democrats of Illinois have re-
organized with the Cleveland wing Of
the party in control of the party organ
izatiOn. This should serve as pointer
to those who still expect reform through
that party.
A Democratic victory means another
Cleveland administration. When Cleve-
land was president before with DEM
! ocratic congress, Democrats excused his
administration by confessing that
Cleveland was not in accord with his
party. How long must the people suffer
and villainy be excused for lack of
harmony. In 1892 Democrats claimed
that the Democratic party and congress
was all right. but charge all the villainy
to Cleveland.
During the last four years the Demo-
cratic party has been electing pluto con-
gressmen and retiring from congress all
the reform element and now they want
to give us Bryan for president.
1t would seem to us plain PROPOSE
ton that the results from a reform con-
gress and plute president could not be
far different from a pluto congress and
a reform president.
The same lack of harmony would exist
in each case with the same net results.
What this country~wants is change
in results We have had change in
old parties and a change of factions OF
the same party, with no change in ma
tional policy until the West is getting
tired. 1t may suit the plutes and their
politicians, but it is tough on their
dupes. E. A. T.

STATE CYCLE LICENSE.

Wheelmen of the Twin Cities will meet
TUESDAY afternoon at the ST. Paul CONNER
cial club. to discuss cycle path legislation.
They will be in conference with several
legislators known to be in sympathy. AS
result of the meeting bill will probably be
introduced at the present session OF the
legislature providing for state license.
from the receipts of which cycle paths will
be built.
City Clerk Lydiard has ordered 10000
1901 cycle path tags. AS soon as fair
amount of these tags have been purchased,
the city will commence repairing old
paths and building new ones.-Minneapolis
Journal.
Interests of wheelmen have thus tar
been kept out of politics. 1t is worthy
OF notice that measures that have ap.
pcaled to legislators as business meas
ures have received attention and sup
port while measures political and parti-
san have failed.
RefOrmers have an opportunity to
profit by this suggestion. When some
reform principle is to be pushed for
ward for enactment into law, its pro-
motors should study methods by which
it may be put to the front as business
measure, rather than a political one. Re-
formers must gain wisdom in their
methods Of procedure. If the plutes
want to put through some measure in
the interests of national banks or trusts
the daily press gravely announce that
the business interests of the country
demand such measure. 1t is carefully
planned to conceal the private interests
behind the measure, also the party that
is to be used as the instrument for it's
success.
Naturally, the dominant party is
usually selected to do the dirty work,
but always in the name of business in
terests and national prosperity
Let measures for government owner
ship of railroads, telegraphs telephones
and other public utilities be brought
forward as measures designed to pro-
mote the general good rather than as
Populist SOcialistic or class conscious
measures. The one method ELECTS sup
port from all parties, the other method
antagonizes and provokes hostilities
and means defeat.
The building of cycle paths as sug-
gested above is worthy project. Cycle
paths are wholesome check to high
railroad passenger tariff. The wheel
has saved to the common people of the
Twin Cities thousands of dollars that
otherwise would have gone to the Twin
City Rapid Transit Co. to make millions
aires Of it's holders of watered stock and
bonds.
The wheel is business necessity;
good cycle paths are essential to the
more general use of wheels Take the
wheels and paths out of politics and
build them across the country and
when the people behold that the work is
good they may have sense enough to
build railroads in the same manner.

lie would most logically and naturally
affiliate should be removed. 1t is po-
litical mistake whenever any party
places distractions, conditions or limit
atoms of any kind to logical and natural
growth. All great and successful reform
movements have found their strength
in principle rather than party. Party
has been the servant of principle. The
civil war found its impetus in the slav
cry question. The abolition party were
the pioneers, but as party were a
small part of the tremendous momentum
required to overthrow chattel slavery.
The anti-slavery sentiment permeated
Ill parties, aroused the nation, abolished
slavery and when the principle had
triumphed the Republican party brazen-
ly proclaimed they did it. If the Re
publican party did it, why was it the
last and only good deed coming out of
the party?
The American people abolished slav-
cry before the Republican party became
crystallized, and the Republican ma
chine shackled the popular will and

Donnelly by the obituary notices of him,

Now, here are such adverse actions
that it cannot be called a mistake, or
change of human mind. The change has
been too sudden, too radical, to admit of
the old stock argument that they had
changed their minds because of recent
developments-of facts. In this in
stance they don't resort to such subter-
fuge. Then their obituary notices proves
this conclusive fact, that all those people

during his life were premeditated false

poisoned that his works will be largely

crime. No picture of hell was ever

OUR LOCAL REFORM PAPERS.

OUR LOCAL REFORM PAPERS.
No more welcome reform paper comes
to our desk than the Madison Lake New
Era.
1t is edited by J. r. Lowe, formerly
editor Of the Jeffersonian, published at
throughout the entire Northwest as a
reform worker and needs no introduc.
ton in this section of the country.
We mention him and his paper at this
time to commend some of the salient
features of the work he is doing for our
cause, the peoples cause Gods cause.
Hundreds of local papers might gain
pointers from his paper of value to
themselves and helpful to reform.
Local papers have a sphere of useful
ness peculiar to their class, and it seems
to us Mr.. Lowe has fully .comprehended
what this sphere is, it's limits and it's
possibilities.
First, he caters to the local demand
for live, spicy and well-assorted de-
partment of purely local news items.
This is the key by which he unlocks the
cash boxes of both his advertisers and
old and new subscribers This is the
magic wand that means return in dol
lars. t....F -o-
Secondly, he has condensed sum-
mary of national and foreign news.
which abolishes the necessity of his sub
scribers taking daily to get the news.
The most commendable feature, how
ever. is the papers political attitude.
1t cannot be said that Mr.. Lowe is a
political orphan. 1t cannot be said that
he is without political convictions No
one who reads his paper will have any
doubt as to what his convictions are.
Mr.. Lowe is believer in short. incisive.

When he makes q clean-cut point for
