AS TO SINGING MUD.

The hoIier- than-t thou Pioneer Press
lecture on mud singing in a campaign.
Passing the incongruity of such a pro-
ceeding from such a source, I e
Globe will merely remark that as for
itself it has conducted fair, square,
vigorous campaign, not availing itself
of very large stock of unpleasant per-
sonaI matter relating to the candidate
of the Republican party and the Pho
neer Press for the chief Office in the
gift of the people Of the state of Min
nesota.
The morning mouthpiece Of the Re-
publican party affects to be much sur
prised that T h e G 10 b e made an hon.
orable explanation of the source of its
interview in which Van SAINT was re-
ported to have said he found "it diff
cult to blame the operators" for their
position in the coal strike. Which
leads one to wonder if the Pioneer
Press would have been as decent under
like circumstances. T he Glob e
found the interview in the leading Re-
publican newspaper of the West-the
Chicago Record Herald. 1t came to
pass that the. writer Of the interview
declared Van SAINT never uttered the
words, and we are therefore constrain-
ed to believe he never said he found
ait difficult, to blame the operators" for
their attitude during the great strike.
The words were put into his mouth by
q writer connected with his chief news
paper organ. Having excellent Repub-
lican authority for the interview T e
Globe of course cheerfully republish-
ed it. Finding that the best Republican
authority was untrustworthy, T h e
Globe could do nothing less than ex-
press it's regret to the s vernon that his
and untrustworthy.
AS for the nom payment Of steamboat
taxes in Minnesota, where his fleet
plies during the season-and the state
which pays him salary as governor
The Globe called attention to the
fact that the Van SAINT feet made an
annual cruise to Iowa for purposes Of
taxation-that is, for the purpose Of
escaping taxation in Minnesota.
There is no mud singing in calling
attention to such proceeding, and the
governors action in affecting injured
Innocence deceives nobody.

ROME, Oct. 2S.-The appointment of

Indiana Suicide.

WABASH nd, Oct ga sensa-

Grace Overly, the twenty year
old daughter Of Jacob Overly, bridge

walking on the track and stepped off
when the engineer sounded the whistle.
A brakeman rode on the pilot Of the
engine, which moved slowly, and as
the engine came near Miss Overly
threw herself on the track, her hands
covering her face. She was engaged
to marry l. Church, an engineer on the

he quit his run. No reason is given
for the suicide.

like the measure of interference
with city affairs by the legislature
which was possible in the past, the
character of the legislative delegation
which goes from this county has the
most important bearing on the welfare
of the community. There are number
less ways iri which the welfare OF the
city and its people can be affected by
the presence of careless or a corrupt
member. Special legislation vitality at
fecting the community in many Of it's
most important interests may yet be
enacted and the burdens of state tax
alton may be made to rest with undue
weight on the shoulders of our people
if they are not represented by their
best, eleanest and ablest men.
It is the duty of every Democrat to
vote and work for the return of the
candidates of his party for the legisla-
ture. They are all good men, and the
public welfare is in hundred ways in
volved in their success at the polls.

AELEGlIIMATE ISSUE.

Samuel R. Van SAINT seems to think
that steamboat taxation is a forbidden
subject protected by the sacredness of
his ambition for Office, and charges
that the criticism Of his record in the
matter of non-payment Of steamboat
taxes in Minnesota is something that
the public has no right to entertain.
Now what is there in the matter of
steamboat taxes that the people have
not a full right to examine?
Is steamboat taxation not as legiti-
mate subject for public consideration
as railroad taxation, or express COM
pany taxation, or telephone and tele-
graph taxation, or franchise corpora
ton taxation?
What is there about the Van SAINT
& Musser Towing and Transportation
company, of Muscatine, Iowa, that the
people of Minnesota have not right
to know whether it pays taxes on it's
Minnesota business?
Ask the Minnesota farmer if steam
boat taxation is not as legitimate a
subject for public consideration, as
the taxation of farm implements and
live stock?
Ask the Workingman if the steam
boat tax should not be considered as
well as the tax on tools and cottages?
Ask the housewife If the taxation of
steamboat fleets is not as worthy of
public attention as the taxation of
sewing machines household furni-
ture?
The only phase Of the subject, which
arouses the Republican committee to
charges of a Tow and base plane Of
camgaign" in connection with the taxa
ton of steamboats, Is simply this-that
the tax and assessment officials of this
state and of Iowa have brought out the
fact and presented it to the knowledge
of the 100000 farmers and $4,000 own
ers of Minnesota homes, that the gov
ernor of Minnesota is not paying a
dollar of taxes on his steamboat fleet
to support the state government and
pay his own salary.
That is the reason of this cry of low
and base" But no abusive rhetoric
from the Republican managers will be
able in this campaign to prevent the
voters and taxpayers of Minnesota
from knowing the full facts, and facts
which they are entitled to know in the
interests of good government and hon.
est administration divorced of hypoc-
|.risy and buncombe.

S. Way, of this city, and grandson of Or
rim M. Shepard of New York, superin-

book contains 155 closely typewriter
pages and is illustrated with maps.
The author was the typewriter; and,
besides this, he drew the maps for the
book, which are in colored crayons. The
book is bound in brown cloth. the binding
being the only thing about the book which
the author did not make himself.
The book is not by any means a mere
copy or reproduction of one or two au
thorities. There are evidences Of origin
atty both In expression and manner of
treatment that are, to say the least, I'M
usual in a. writer of thirteen.
This volume gives q brief account OF
the physical characteristics of the CONT
nent.. describes the Mound Builders and
Indians and then relates the incident con-.
nected with the discovery of this country
by the Nersemen and others
Something is given of the history OF
each of the thirteen colonies. and the
closing chapter deals with the events lead
ing up to the Revolutionary war. 1t Is
promised that the history shall be COM
pIeted in three volumes.

DETROIT MAN is AN
ABLE CASHIER AT SO
AzeI Willard Celebrates His Birthday With
Busy Day at His
. Desk,

DETROIT, Mich, Oct 2s.-AzeI Will
lard father of George w. Willard, one OF
Woodward avenues oldest merchants,
passed his eighty-eighth birthday ami
versary at his desk discharging his regu-
lar duties of cashier.
It is very seldom that one meets with a
person of that age who is capable of filling
such an important position as cashier. Yet
Mr.. Willard is in good health and in pos
session of all his faculties and he is as
clear-headed and his memory is as acute
as in middle life. He comes of old Yer
mont stock, having been born in West
Windsor, in that state, in 1914. He en-
tered mercantile life quite early in his
native state, and afterward moved to New
York city, where he was employed by the
old firm of Wessons & Frank, boot and
shoe dealers, and later he was with SUIT
ton & Kingfand, dry goods merchants at
653 Broadway. He remembers well the
great flour riot when the mob entered
stores and pitched the flour into the STREE
from the stores, where it was being sold
at SIS q barrel
He was also in New York during the
great fire of 1885, which he remembers
distinctly. When the great panic of 1887
occurred he returned to his native state
and again engaged in business at Fair
Haven, vt From there he moved to this
city some three years ago., and now re-
sides with his son at % Selden avenue.

GUILTY OF PERJURY
TO GET HOMESTEADS
How Lawyers, Doctors, Merchants and
People of Great Wealth Are
Securing Land.

DULUTH, Mimi, Oct 2S-Special
inspectors of the government land
office have discovered that many per-
sons now holding lands are doing so
upon perjured affidavits. Immediate
steps will be taken to cancel such en-
tries, take away the property from the
holders and prosecute them. upon a
charge of perjury.
Numbers of these pretended home
stead claims are already being contest
ed upon the grounds of non-residence
and nom cultivation, principally in the
counties Of Itasca and Beltrami. Many
persons holding lands given them by
the government are lawyers, mer-
chants, doctors or people of independ-
ent wealth.
Many other claims are made by
agents of corporations, large logging
firms, etc, who are said to give a
money, consideration to these men to
come to the land Office and make ap
plication for certain sections. In this
way the firms are alleged to obtain
control Of large tracts Of very desir-
able pine and other good timber land,
strip them of their wealth and then
forsake them after they are vandal-
lied.

BURGLARS Get About $4,000 BY Robbery
At Prairie City, Iowa.

DIES MONIES. Iowa, Oct. 2s.-The bold
est bank robbery occurring in Iowa IN
recent wears took place at Prairie City,
early this morning The robbers dyna-
mited the safe of the Iowa State bank
and secured an amount approximating

shots with local officers and escaped.

office under Republican auspices in this
county. There are. But, taken all in
all, the, Democratic nominees compare
individually more than favorably with
their Republican opponents. In addi-
ton, they stand for the public demand
for an Improvement in the methods
which have prevailed in The admins
tration of our county affairs under
publicans has had one uniformly disas-
years.
No one can seriously gainsay the
claim that as between the two parties
the taxpaying public of this city and
county have had the amplest reason for
entrusting their interests preferably to
Democrats. The experiment entered
upon SO completely of. turning Demo-
Gratis out of office and installing Re
publicans has one uniformly disas-
trous result in city and county alike.
Before the Republican hold on our
city government was broken affairs had
reached a situation which threatened
the good name of the city throughout
the country. Life and property were
without any substantial protection.
Scandals of one kind or another came
to light affecting the good name of
city officials. Necessary public inn
provements were neglected, and the
natural development of the city en-
barassed, in the pursuit of a purely
demagogic scheme of economy in mu-
nicipal expenditure.
In the county the operations of the
board of county commissioners for nigh
six years have been an object of public
suspicion. Certain of the work of that
body, done through two successive sets
of members, was productive of official
fraud. One Republican member of that
body is now a fugitive from justice.
The taxpayers have had forced on them
by it bonded Indebtedness for an ut
terly unnecessary public, undertaking
the county jail-Which has been con-
Quoted from the outset with shameless
| extravaganza, and in regard to which,
if the bottom facts could be known, the
average enlightened citizen is fully as
sured, the grossest corruption would
| be shown to exist Whitehorne and
Bourne are distinctive products of Re-
| publican control in our city and county
affairs.
On the other hand, the city has been
redeemed officially through Democrats
in office. Every Democrat in county
office is concededly a superior man.
Metzdorf in the treasurer's Office, Kane
in the county attorneys Office and Kel-
ly in the board of county commissions
ers, are. concededly exceptionally safe
and strong men. So are DR.. Miller, the
/ county coroner, and Mr.. Irvine, the
county surveyor No better men could
1 be elected to public station; and, like
their associate officials in the city gov
| eminent chosen by Democratic votes,
they give the people the most absolute
assurance that their affairs are being
| handled honorably and capably.
Under such circumstances T h 9
Globe submits to the disinterested
and independent voter that there is
| the amplest basis for it's claim
| that a Democratic victory is the only
! logical outcome of the county election
now in progress, if the voters choose to
stand upon their own real interests in
casting their votes. ~
