has gained for himself such a wide
reputation as a successful man OF
affairs in private life. He recognizes
no higher ambition than to faithfully
serve the people who placed great
official responsibility upon him. Com
ing from that hardy Scandinavian
stock that has done SO much to make
our country great, and that has played
so important a part in the develop
ment Of the northwest, his standard of
American manhood is of the kind that
Is ennobling to the growing youth and
an inspiration to those who seek to
rise among their fellows by dint of
self-sacrifice and honest toll.
Mr.. Hanson will undoubtedly get
a great popular vote this fall, and it
is no less to the credit of the Republican
party than to himself that this is so.

our ammunition. To him more than
to any other man in the country do
we owe our present financial peace.
But Mr.. McCleary is not only well
informed he is energetic and indus
trious. He attends strictly to his
duties. No constituent, however poor
or obscure, writes to him about any
matter without getting prompt and
respectful attention. And, as we said
at the beginning, he "accomplishes
results. - For example, he was one of
the first to investigate and appreciate
the importance to the farmers of the
rural free delivery service. He secured
the appointment of his friend Mr..
Guttersen as special agent for this
service, and pushed the establishment
of routes. AS the result of Mr.. Nc
Cleary's efforts in this line, the second
district has more Of these routes than
any other district in Minnesota. And
there are very few districts in the
United States which are so we'll sup
piled with them.
And to Mr.. McCleary more than to
any one else is due the effectiveness
of the oleomargarine law. But for
very hard work on his part uncolored
oleomaragrine would have completely
escaped federal taxation and would
thus have been out from under the
supervision of the government so that
it would have been very much easier
evade the law.
But valuable as have been Mr.. Nc
Clesry's services in the past to his
district and the country at large, pos
sibly his greatest opportunity for USE
fulness is yet to come. The expendi-
lures of the government are becoming
very large, They will need to be held
in check. The defense of the
public treasury always falls on
the committee on appropria-
tions. There will be increasing need
for men there who can consider calmly
and make adequate provision for the
real needs of tine country, but who
have also the courage to cut off all I'M
necessary expenditures. AS we have
said, Mr.. McCleary is a member of
the committee on appropriations. He
is the first Minnesota man to reach
that position. AS chairman of the
subcommittee having charge of appro-
Ipriations for the district of Columbia,
Mr.. McClear in the recent session of
congress cut the appropriations about
two million dollars below the estima-
tes, thus practically saving the gov
eminent two millions of dollars. By
the going of Mr. Moody into the cabi-
net and the retirement of one or two
other members who now outrank him
on the committee, he will in the next
congress be near the head of the COM
mittee. And his prospect is very good
for becoming within few years
chairman of that great committee. 1t
will be worth a great deal to the
country to have in that position las
it has now in the person of Mr.. Can
non of nlinois) man of candor and
courage who represents district
which makes no demand for great
federal expenditures. Such a district
is the second Minnesota such a man
is James T. McCleary. The nation
needs him. The second district will
il continue to elect him.

Every one admiress the man who
"does things, who accomplishesssr re-
suits. Such man is our congressman,
Hon. James 7. McCleary. His first
nomination was surprise to a ma
jority of the Oldest and shrewdest
politicians of the state. 1t did not
seem to them possible for man to go
from the school-room.. direct to con-
gress. Nor did 1t seem possible that
he could conquer standing in con-
gress or maintain his position in that
body. But today, ten years later, Mr..
McCleary is a prominent member of
the most powerful committee in the
house, that of appropriations, and
there is abundant evidence that he is
recognized all over the country as one
of the leaders of thought in the ma
tion. And this fall his constituents
will take pride in electing him for the
sixth time as their representative in
the greatest legislative body in the
world.
The people trust Mr.. McCleary.
They never think of him as a politi-
clan. They know that he is no trim
mer. They have learned that he
would rather tell them an unwelcome
truth, if wholesome and necessary,
than to gain temporary advantage by
pleasant prevarication. Even those
who disagree with him never doubt
the sincerity of his purposes or the
integrity of his character. And results
have so often shown him to be right,
even when at first thought he seemed
to be wrong, that the people have
come to rely on his judgment as we'll
as to have faith in his intentions.
Mr.. McCleary has one great advan-
tage over most men in public life in
the fact that, as teacher of history
and civics, he had before assuming
congressional duties been very care
full student of public questions, con-
sidering them in wholly non partisan
way with the sole object of getting at
the truth. The student habit OF seek
ing the truth and then standing by 1t
at all hazards is still characteristic of
him. Few men in the country are 80
well Informed in matters pertaining to
history and government, and no one
has greater courage in telling what
experience has shown to be wise in re-
lation to public questions.
His motto seems to be, "The right
thing is the wise thing" One of his
favorite sayings is this: ssI believe
in the might of right and in the com
mon sense of the common people"
1t was this mental and moral habit
of seeking the truth and then speaking
it that fitted him to be the leader of
thought in the greatest presidential
campaign in our counrry's history,
that Of 1896. When even the men who
had heretofore been the accepted
leaders seemed in doubt and many of
them were inclined to continue tenn
porizing with error, Mr.. McCleary g
voice in congress and on the stump.
telling the straight truth without
qualification, was the clarion tone
which indicated the true path
and did away with equivocation. As
Speaker Henderson and others have
said, 1.-The speeches of James T. Nc.
Cleary in 1895 were the well stored
arsenal from which all the rest of us got

duty and under his management the
affairs of the treasury department are
conducted in a manner which con-
forms to the public convenience as
we'll as the safe management of the
public funds. A we'll known st. Panl
business man remarked. "My business
brings me in frequent contact with
the Office of the state treasurer and I
can fully appreciate the business
methods Mr.. Block has introduced
there, and nothing pleases me more
than his denomination. The people of
this state will endorse that same senti-
ment by about 90, 600 majority"

AS Jason Green" In "Old 1nro
cence." Tim Murphy has given to
the American stage another type o.
character. He has drawn 1t with
the utmost care aud detail. Nc
point Is missed; everything has
been thought of; yet 1t Is all done
with quiet Notwithstanding
art that couceals art. Indeed, 1t Is
really difficult to restrain ones en-
thusiasm In commenting upon Mr.
Murphy's work-as difficult really
as to refrain from going again and
again to see 1t. He makes the
characters so real, so vital and so
lovable, that ones feelings enter
into ones appreciation of the actors
work, which, after all, Is probably
the greatest tribute you could pay
1t. For that really means that you
ca not separate him from the char
acter. He has not sought the fields
of gay romance for his type. 1t Is
an everyday one. Yet around him
he weaves halo tender and sin
cere, never forgetting the realities;
so you laugh with him or cry with
him as the actors will. Indeed this
Is one of the most notable points of
characterization. Usually, actors
who elaborate details insist upon
them and ahow a g1eat lack of
spon!aneity.
This is not apparent In "Old
Innocence" He seems to live and
breathe the plays atmosphere and
the words fall from his lips In an
entirely unstudied manner. MI
Murphy's company Is said to be
delightful. Dorothy Sherrod, as
MAY Green" gives performance
second only to the star. 1t Is a
character done quietly yet beauti'
fully.
The rest are all capable. The
stage management Is supurb, but
these things, after all are secondary.
The picture that you carry with
YOU as you leave the theatre-the
memory-is of dear old "Jason" so
patient and gentle. He gives you
faith In men. and heart to hope for
better things, and as you hear the
noise and roar Of the great city
your heart Is softened toward all
the world. Romance! 1t is not
In the days gone by nor In the
stories of the Kings and Queens
that are no more.
No. 1t Is on every street corner .
In each house, here, In the life OF
everyday, and the noise Of the
streets Is only song If we but
listen Alright.
You can hear 1t after seeing Mr..
Murphy's performance of Jason
Green" In "Old Innocence" Mr.
Murphy's appearance in this city
will be at the Auditorium on next
Friday night.

BOY HAS THROAT CUT.
Runs Into Barbed Wire, Stretched

Runs Into Barbed Wire, Stretched
Across an Alley, and Badly Hurt.
Bruce Robinson, the l1-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs II. A. Robinson, OF 40i
North First street, came near losing
his life Tuesday evening at about
o'clock because of some ones careless
ness in stretching barbed wire across
an alley in the north part OF town
Young Robinson was playing with sew
eral boy friends in the street near MS
fathers home Several OF the young
sters were running after the Robinson
boy, who darted in an alley to escape
his pursuers. Being about dusk, ana IN
his haste to outrun those behind him,
he failed to notice barbed wire that had
been stretched tightly across the alley.
The wire was just high enough to strike
the lad on the neck, resulting IN MS
sustaining deep cash, three lnches
long and barring the trachea. dozen
or so bad scratches about the neck ana
face. and several decorations OH the
right arm. With such force did the
little fellow strike the tightly-drawn
wire, that he was thrown completely
over, turning somersault. He was inn
mediately taken to his fathers home
and a physician was called to stitch the
wound and stop the flow, of blood. An
investigation of the character of the
principal wound shows that had 1t been
received tritle more to one side the
jugular would undoubtedly have been
severed, and death resulted before as
sistance could be given.
Mr.. Robinson, while not inclined to
make trouble for any one, is of the
opinion that steps could be taken
against the people who had placed the
wire in a public alley.
