Adelaide King, paragrapher for
the Milwaukee Sentinel, has this to
say of the woman's ideal candidate
for superintendent of schools, the
officer for which she may vote this
fall: off any candidate for county
superintendent this year is homely,
just awfully homely, he should get
some one else to sit for his pictures
before he sends them to the papers
for the woman voters to size up"
"What care for your gold and silver?
What care for your houses and land?
What care for your skill and learning?
All want is a handsome man."

ing revision of the tariff, policy
of which at this time he disapproves.
For this withdrawal from the con-
test he has been severely censured
by party managers but his conduct is
magnanimous and consistentin with
drawing. He says he believes his
declination will help the success of
the party. He recently made this
declaration: 81 am willing to fight
Democrats and Populists but when
it comes to fighting Republicans I
desire to step out and let these men
who are trying to lead the party in
to false paths try their schemes

A Last Resort.

While Congress was in session
the leaders of the Democratic party,
especially in the Senate, made prep
aration to have the campaign this
fall conducted on the line of anti
imperialism and opposition to the
trusts. 1t was intended to attack
the conduct of the army in the Phil
ippines. They found that the coun-
try would not submit to have it's
soldiers in the field traduced, and as
nothing more is said against the
army it is evident that that line of
action has been abandoned. This
left them the trusts, but as President
Roosevelt has asserted and persist
emily reiterated his conviction that
the trusts should be placed under the
control of Congress by an amend
ment to the Constitution the Demo-
cratic party was left without an
issue. AS sort of supplementary
resort they fall back on their stand
ard stock, opposition to the protec-
tive tariff.

We are pleased TO note that the
County Fair at Ellsworth was a
pronounced success. Though many
feared that the management in the
matter of dates might clash little
with the equinoctial storm, the
weather proved favorable and the
officials, exhibitors, and visitors
were happy.
While it is evident that in some of
the departments the number of en-
tries were less than in former years,
the total number of entries was
doubtless up to the average, and
the display fully sustained the repu-
tation already enjoyed by Pierce
county for the superiority of her
products.
On Tuesday the entire day was
devoted to receiving entries, the
placing of exhibits, and other mat
tiers incident to the Inauguration of
the exhibition. An elaborate pro-
gramme had been prepared for each
of the three following days, and
sight-seers found quite varied en-
tertainment, and plenty of it, aside
from viewing the excellent exhibits.
Wonderful acrobatic feats, balloon
ascensions, band music galore,
base ball, horse racing, minstrelsy,
and vaudeville performances, sup
plemented by the marry-go-round,
and toy ballons and squeaker for
the kids, furnished amusement in
repletion for both old and young.
In the base ball contest the Ellis
worth team defeated the Red Wing
team on Wednesday, the Hudson
team on Thursday and the Spring
Valley team on Friday, to the great
delight of the "rooters" for the
Ellsworth club.
The members of the speed com
mittee are very we'll pleased with
the result of their efforts in catering
to the demand of those who regard
the races as an essential feature Of
the Fair. Between thirty-fve anc
forty fast nags-trotters and PAGERS
were entered, and every class wa:
filed. The track was in prime con
dition, and it is said by one who /:
on the inside" that the races taker
as whole, were the best that have
ever taken place from the tract
there.
The total number of visitors wa:
probably greater than at any ex
hibition previously given by the
| association, the number upon the
| grounds on Thursday being est
mated at five thousand.
We understand that the total re
ceipts of the society on account 81
the Fair were about twenty-five
hundred and fifty dollars, which
places the organization in an en-
couraging financial condition,
Though an occasional croakel
may be found, people generally vii
commend the management for its
efforts to provide for brief season
of relaxation and entertainment
where may be seen in friendly com
petition the finest and best product:
of the farm and household.

President Roosevelt expressed the
business aspects of revision of the
tariff in his speech at Logansport,
Ind, when he said: "The rate of
duty levied by any tariff act are far
less important to the country at large
than the certainty that those rates
will not be changed materially for a
term of years. 1t is not high duty
or low duty that can iniure bust.
ness so much as a scale of duties
subject to continual fluctuations"

The Democrats in the campaign
in this state this fall have one adj
vantage in discussing present issues.
The Republicans are on record, and
on the defensive. Whatever weak
points the administration have, there
the assaults will be made by the op-
position. The administration has it
in hand to defend its work and ex-
plain its intentions. The Demo.
Gratis have nothing tangible to as
sail. They are simply in opposi.
ton to the administration. Theil
purpose, as so far developed, is tc
assail especially those policies upor
which Republicans differ.

1t is presumed that Republican
speakers have agreed upon a divis-

fall. Spooner will speak on nation

taxation.

1t is said that Senator Spooner in
his campaign speeches will discuss

tariff with regard to revision, and
will advocate the policy of establish

The trusts are never slow in attack
ing anyone who threatens them in an
effective way. They are not slaves of
any party, and any party that offends
them will hear from them in no uncer-
tain terms. The greater part of the
corporation press is owned by them
and speaks for them. Yet this press
has not been in the least alarmed by
the action Of the attorney general in
bringing injunction suits against some
trusts, nor have any of the trust mag
mates said a word against the repub-
lican party. Whence this Indifference
to an attack? Alb, they must know
that no harm is intended. They know
that the trust problem is being vigor-
ously discussed by the people and that
the republican party is in danger OF
being swamped unless something is
done to allay the feeling that the par
ty is I'm cahoots' with the trusts.
Hence these innocuous Injunction pro-
ceedings. The trusts understand the
farce and make no protest.

The ownership of nearly all of our
anthracite coal fields by railroads is
beginning to attract little of the at
tention that should have been given
to it in large measure years ago. It
Is beginning to permeate minds that
should have seen and opposed it at
the outset that the owners. of natural
resources, of grain buying machinery
and analogous interests, should not
be the country's common carriers. It
Is amazing that those carriers have
been allowed to acquire such proper
ties. Five or six men can and do say
just how much tribute 80, Co., 900 free
men (?) shall pay them on the coal
they consume, and the freemen have
been as docile under the tyranny as
SO many kittens. Will the kittens
ever grow into tomcats? 1t is hoped
they are growing into something that
will fight such q monstrous condition.

profit on their products.
Government control of the issue of
money is another necessary step in
freeing the people from extortion.
The peoples party is the only party
unequivocally advocating this step.
If you are willing to forego all
thoughts of personal political prefer
ment and work for these principles
you are q good enough popultst and
entitled to partake in the deliberations
OF the party, no matter what your
past political affiliations have been.
The lines are being drawn. Are you
with the trusts or with the people? If
the latter, then turn out at the prima-
ries and help swell the ranks of the
peoples party. If success comes to
that party it must come through the
efforts of the people. A new party
with q progressive platform cannot
attain success from the efforts of few
politicians. The combinations of cap
ital must be met by a combination of
the workers, and every one of them
must do his part.
Let us show that the peoples party
of Kandiyohi county is not dead just
because few self-seeking politicians
have left it. A few politicians more
or less will cut no figure if the people
will only take it into their heads to do
the leading, instead of blindly fol-
lowing. Let US have a rousing con-
vention that shall put new spirit into
the timid ones and encourage every
populist to work with vigor for the
spread of the doctrines of the party.

Probably Too Much "Booze."
A very amusing incident took place
at the passenger depot last Thursday
afternoon, during train time. A party
of land seekers from Clara City were
being taken to Fargo by a real estate
agent, who had promised to purchase
return tickets at this pointefor all the
members in the party, which included
seven men.
It seems that when he was about to
secure the required passage, he backed
out on his proposition and for a time
there was a lively discussion. The
land seekers were highly indignant at
this treatment and their remarks were
not at all complimentary to the would
be land seller. They took the next
train back to Clara City, promising
that they would accord that Fargo

The end has come, and might has

The end has come, and might has
triumphed over right, temporarily.
The brave Boer farmers who for two
and half years have resisted the i'm
mense armies of one of the greatest
world powers have finally been forced
to give up their claim to indepen-
dence. The treaty of peace has been
signed, and England's sovereignty
over Transvaal and Orange River
Free State is acknowledged.
But England has had to make great
concessions to get peace. The treaty
provides that no war taxes shall be
laid on the conquered republics. Eng
land will therefore have to bear the
burden of the war expenses. These
amount directly to nearly 81, 25c, 0oo,-
600. This, however, is only the least
part of the cost. Twenty-one thousand
British soldiers have died on the A.
rican veldt. Seventy-one thousand
have been sent home as invalids. Ten
thousand are missing or prisoners.
In blood and treasure, in sufferings
and in tears of widows and orphans,
England has paid the price that stag
gers humanity. England has lost
twice as many soldiers as the estimat-
ed total strength of the Boer army at
the beginning of the war. The Beers
are granted full amnesty. The prison
ers on St. Helena and in other places
will be brought back. Local self-gov-
eminent will be established. England
will furnish SIS, 000, 900 to help rehabi-
litate the destroyed farms. The Dutch
language will be taught in the schools
and will be used in the courts. Thus
in everything except the name indie
pendence the Beers are really the VIC
tors and have dictated the terms of
peace. That is the reward for their
desperate valor. Though every lover
of liberty will grieve to think that
these brave patriots lost their nation
al name, yet they will rejoice that in
everything else the Beers gained their
point.
The price that England has paid for
the empty name of sovereignty is so
fearful that it may deter other nations
from such steps, and will certainly
make England pause before again un-
dertaking such task. England will
hardly feel like taking part in a war
for long time, and thus becomes
potent factor in maintaining peace in
the world. Thus out of evil may come
good.

I don't like to sea this subjekt brawt

waze Heaps it's promises to revive the
tariff; sekkend, the demokrattik party
newer Heaps emmy promises of the
kind. This may seam kinder pekew
lier, but it IL troo. The republican
party promised us tariff revishun in
1888, and thay gaiv it to US with a
venjans. We'got the Mckinley tariff
which was hier then the old war tar
if. The demokrats promisd US tariff
reform in 1892, but when it kahn to
doing it the party bawkd. Thet party,
in regard to tariff, awlwaze reminds
me of tibet tutching little poem by Bill
Shakspeer:
"Mother, may go out to swim?
Yes, you may, my daughter.
Hang your clothes on hickory limb.
Bu-don't go near the,water. -
The demokrattik party made great
prepparashuns for refreshing swim
in the sea of tariff reform after the
elekshun in 1892. It undressed and
hung it's kloaths on a hikkery limb,
and took a run as if it intended to

kahn to the waterline it stoppd sud.
denly and stood thar debating whether
it wood be helthy to get wet. FINELY
it jest went in up to it's ankels, and
then stood thar shivvering. The re.
suit waz it kawt a bad koald from
which it newer rekoverd.
The republikken party promisd us
tariff reform agen in 1900, and we got
it good and hard. What with the
backwardness of the demokrats in

and the forwardness of the republik.
