!; NO LONGER DEADLY.

st. Paul, Jan. 13.-The small pox
census of 1901 has just been COM
piled by Secretary Bracken OF the
state board of health. There were
8. 485 cases of the disease in Minneso-
ia last year. In 1900 the total was
1871, and in 1889 only PSI.
But the smll pox has become SO
mild that it is scarcely worthy OF it's
terrifying name. The more cases
the fewer have been the deaths:
Although there were more than
thirty cases last year to one case two
years ago. The proportion Of deaths
was no more than to 1. That Is
eleven" smallpox patients died. IN
1899 and forty three in 1901.
'sThe percentage of fatalities, 'ob-
served Secretary Bracken yesterday,
lis now as low as one half of one
per cent. And the percentage if
decreasing so rapidly that if the
whole state were down with small
pox, not a single soul would die
and = we should be the healthies'
community on earth. At least
that's waht the . figures seem p
prove. 4 :.:
=
ALTHOUGH smallpox is widespread
in this state Low,' continued tn
secretary. '.1do;l't think we ar
having any more of i, in proper
ton, than they lave in the Dakc;as
WISCONSIN or Northern Iowa. Ac
oor1ing to the latest reports tn
same percentage of fatalities is tn
rule everywhere-o half of on
per cent That makes this type 9
small pox less fatal than whoop1n
cough Our only cause for anixet
is that small pox has a way OF sue
denly changing it's type and shifhn
from a nuisance to a sco,lrge.

The political writer of the Mime
apois Journal says:
The Miller boom may amount to
something in the second district
There is never a great rush of candi-
dates for lieutenant governor, and
the possession of the Office did not
do the second district much good
this time; but, in order to do
something for Miller,'' he may be
forced into the ring Miller is strong
man and would be safe man in the
chair of the senate and in the line
of succession to the governors Office.
He is popular in the second district,
and there are two men who would
like to SEQ him taken care of. They
are J. T. McCleary and Geo. ".
Somervine: The present congress-
man and his rival both have rea-
son to fear Miller's strength in case
Of contest-for the nomination.
Pittsburg Gazette In its effort
to make life worth living in the
rural districts the government at
Washington has been devising plans
to deliver mail daily at the grangers'
front gate. Now we have Senator
Mason's word for it that large part
of this seduious anxiety for the
farmer has been wasted. Mr.. Mason
says: This rural free delivery is
not such a popular thing as some
people seem to imagine, and he
further says he has documents to
prove his statement. His constitu-
ents on the praiaes of Illinois, as he
tellsit, want their country post
Offices back with the necessity for
going after the mail that gives
them. the opportunity Of l. Getting
their fellow farmers to dicsuss the
affairs Of the universe, growl about
the weather and critcise the govern
ment, Senator Mason, therefore, de-
clares he is in favor Of curtailing the
rural delivery or abolishing it. All
right If the farmers are not pleas
ed with mail at their front gate let
the work be stopped. But we don't
think Senator Mason knows it all.
Rural free delivery routes are es-
tablished in answer to a demand for
them expressed in petitions. The
petitions tell the story. If any farm
ers want to meet other farmers and
talk things over they are not stopped
by the establishment Of rural
routes. They can meet and discuss
just the same.

my for the past few months have
been operating their mill'ragh t and

from the fact that they HAYES shipped

five Thousand, in addition to what
they purchase from. the farmers.
During the past month they have
shipped out eighteen Oars Of nall

Philadelphia Record: Mr., Bryan
goes back to Andrew jackson ior g /,
lesson to impress on the democratic:
party of today. What it has to learn !
from the hero of the battle Of New.
Orleans, he afirms, lis the lesson Of !.
steadfastness. Standing fast against
all the storms which beat upon thA.
party be rel CARDS as a superlahve
virtue. There is another historic
character from whom might be-
drawn lesson not less important to-
the democracy--a character who was
full of the homely. virtues, and
whose experience as a pioneer de-.
veloped his mind more than could
the study of text books. 'Daxy
Crockett took as. bis ,notto= BE
sure you're right, then''-and not
till then-''go ahead
'Steadfastness without the aSsur-~
ance that the position is right be-
comes pig headed obstinacy-a de-
feet instead Of virtue In the
language Of another historic figure;
eve re all poor critters, and liable
to err. To stand fast when repeated
experiences have shown the errone
GUS nature of an attitude 81 proof o
folly. To get out Of the wrong po
sition as soon as possible is the onl'
wisdom.
When there can be no doubt of
the firmness of the platform, stead
fastness becomes one of the greatest
of virtues. 1t was through the hack
of this on a memorable occasion that
the democratic party allowed itself
to be led away from it's Fundamental
principals and placed in a wrong
position. When united democracy
shall have returned to the doctrines
for the promotion of which it was
created steadfastness will enable it
to regain its former supremacy.
New York Press: Some day the
political know it alls will wake up
to the fact that President Roosevelt
knows something about politics
himself. He proved that when he
used to run down to New York to
take breakfast with Senator Plat,
because he would rather eat soft:
boiled eggs and toast with him than
Krag Jorgensen rifle balls and bayo-
nets. Gov. Roosevelt did not want
split in the party in his own state,
and he and Senator Platt used to:
eat their ditfercapoes as side dish
to- their ham and eggs. Further
proofs of the Roosevelt genius fol"
politics lies in the shaking Of Gov
Shaw, of Iowa, out Ut the west Int"
the presidents own cabinet family
In lx)ltii<s-in national conventions
the east fears the west, when sits
the throne OF empire. The west
gets right down-root hog or die
every time for western man for
president, and usually just before
contention time the hopes of the east
blow away in thin smoke. The man
of the west was Gov. Shaw, Of Iowa.
He could have gone to the next.
nationtal convention with yelling
band of western enthusiasts, who
could not have listented to any body
else. 1t would not he precedent (
or decent for him to rush out Of a;
cabinet meeting into IL convention
hall to fight his chief and the head
of the official family, the president
Wouldn't it seem queer to find
President Roosevelt and Senator"
Platt in New York against Gov.
Olen and ex-Gov. Black!
