-ADVOCAcK BY ABUs

Mr.. Fentcn G. Warner, during his long
service in the assembly, has presented
himself to the average citizen, without
regard to party political divisions, as Il
capable, upright and amiabIe gentleman.
No one ever heard of him before as a
mere tool Of private interests until the
Pioneer Press presented to it's readers
this estimate Of him as a public man.
7 G e thinks it is unjust-grossly
unjust. But the Pioneer may possess
special opportunities Of knowledge which
are not within the reach Of ordinary pa
pers in this regard, or it may be the
victim Of transformation. An explana-
ton, which is, however, much more
probable, is that the Pioneer Press was
doing the work of Mr.. Warmers political
enemies witK but slight regard, if any,
to the justice or reasonableness of the
view of him which it presented.
Such abuse as that which our contem-
porary casts at Mr.. Warner must natu-
rally attract much attention on it's own
account Wnen 1t is coupled With en-
comiums on ex-Mayor Kiefer whom the
same paper has in the past abused like a
pickpocket, and has gone outside Of the
party lines to defeat as a candidate for
mayor it marks the most notable con-
tribution yet made to the literature of
the coming spring campaign.
Mr.. Warner and Mr.. Kiefer are oppos-
ing candidates for the mayoraIty nominal
ton. At least to the man on an opposite
political sidewalk, it does not appear that
the Pioneer Press advocacy Of Kiefer
can, Under the circumstances, be any
more effective than it's abuse of this par
ticular one of his opponents.

CONGRESSIONAL N1NCoMPOopS.

Whether it is that Congressman Eddy
is merely advertising himself through
the letters said to be received by him
in such great numbers averring the per-
sonal un1tness Of most Of our congress
men to discharge the duties of their Of
flee, or whether such communications are
in fact received by him and may be
taken as expressive of a well defined
public opinion, the fact is indisputable
that the present membership of the house
of representatives, taken in the aggre-
gate, has shown itself to be far below
that Of any preceding congress for many
years.
On neither side is there even one man
of paramount ability. Seniority is the
only apparent test of influence in that
body at this moment Neither side is
any better situated than the other in this
regard. Richardson IS no more fitted to
be leader than is Hepburn; and Hep
burn is a leader apparently only by viz
tue of his agility. BY what right Rich
ardson maintains his claim of leadership
is apparent to nobody outside of the Dem
ocratic minority
Hepburn in his handling of the canal
measure was about as inept as Richard
son has shown himself to be at every
turn since the honor of leadership was
conferred on him. The former show
ed himself to be the victim of the dens-
est ignorance and an equally dense pre-
sumptuousness in putting the foolish
Nicaraguan canal bill through the house
in its present shape. It is not ignorance,
nor bumptiousness from which Ric.I-
ardson as a leader suffers, so much as
it is from inherent unfitness for the role
of leader. He Is, aside from his estab-
lshed position as leader, without either
weight or influence.
The wrong is to the entire country
arising from the low caliber of the lead
ership of the majority in the house
When a man as experienced and Of the
recognized ability of Mr.. Cannon is set
aside in the interest of harebraine5
character like Hepburn, it is not surpris-

There is but one criticism to be offered
on the entertainment given by Messrs.
Primrose and DockStader and their eX-
cellent company of burnt cork artists.
The musical selections in the first part,
while admirably rendered are lacking in
quality and without character. There are
several fairly good coon songs" but the
ballads are of the ultra-sentimental type,
and are too Wishy- washy to be worth
second hearing. That this is a serious de-
feet, when the fact is taken into consid-
Grafton that this part of the bill OCcu-
pies nearly one half Of the time devoted
to the performance, will not be QueS-
TONED. There is not the excuse Of neces-
sity, for the list of songs that are schoI-
arly and that possess musical merit is a
long one If the performance could be
changed in this respect, the entertain
ment would be above reproach.
The dreariness of the first part is over
come, however by the plethora Of good
things that follow it. Mr.. Dockstader's
act in the olio is alone worth the price
of adm -osion, and has the double merit
of both originality and neWness Mr.
Dockstader may now be justly reckoned
as one Of the best nonologuists in the
business, and when he quilted the stage,
after three insistent recalls he left the
audience in a happy frame Of mind.
George Primrose-who has not heard of
MIN cannot sing any better now than
he could in the days when the stately
matrons of today were schoolgirls; but
he dances as nimbly and gracefully as
in days OF old and has lost none
of his art as an entertainer. Neil OBr1en,
is given a more prominent part in the
program than he had last year, and, to
use the current theatrical term, Makes
good in every particular. He is rapidly
developing into an excellent entertainer,
along broad comedy lines and is destined
at no distant day, to be one of the stars
in the minstrel armament. Excellent spe-
cialties were contributed by Claudius and
Corbin, whose playing on the banjos was
Of phenomenal order. Among the Sc
lecttons rendered was the overture from

MIEISYER WE,S PoSLTInN.


Mr.. Wa Ting Fang is a very able man
No one can fail to admire the great skill
shown by him in his fight against the
re-enactment of the Geary law. He has
stood alone. Among a strange and hostile
people he has, through sheer intellectual
force, commanded a hearing for every
thing lie has had to say. whether relat-
ing to his own country or this But Mr..
WI has made q losing fight The nation
al demand for the re-enactment of the
Chinese exclusion law is too insistent:
and the belief in its needfulness is alto
gether too widespread to offer the slight
est hope to the Chinese Diplomat of stem
ing the current against which he has
fought so braveIy.
The Chinese exclusion law, known as the
Geary act, will be re-enacted in all events.
The continued exclusion of the Chinese
from. this country is demanded by prac-
tcally all classes Of American citizenship.
Tt was not necessary even that President
Roosevelt should have declared with such
emphasis and unrestraint in favor of
Chinese exclusion in his message. The
policy had been settled on as desirable
long before Mr.. Roosevelt was ever heard
Of in the political life of the nation.
Minister Wa has scored one noint which
will not readily be overcome. lie has
pointed out that while the Geary law has
been accepted by China and the accept
ance embodied in the existing treaty
with China, it is now proposed to enact a
stiH more radical law to the same end.
Notwithstanding that the existing treaty.
has two years yet to run. Neither in
ternational right nor Diplomatic usage
admits Of any further or more onerous
action by this country against the sub
jects of the Chinese emperor. as long as
that treaty remains in existence than is
represented by the Geary law and its
re-enactment.
Whether or not we accent Mr.. Wu's
claims in their entirety we are compelled
to give them intelligent consideration.
We must, whether we will or no. violate
the existing treaty with China if, during
the period of its continuance. we go be-
yond the terms of exclusion laid down in
the existing law. Are we ready to do
that? IL we do it. we set ourselves in
position of open hostility toward China.
and the result may at least be sufticien .iy

JUDGE F1ANDRAU,s RETIREMENT

d CDGE HANDBAGS REIIR EMENT
With the retirement of Judge FIandrau
a distinguished and honorable career has
been brought to a close In the public as
well as in the social life of the state
Judge Flandrau has borne a brilliant
part. In his profession he was at once
an ornament and an inspiration. Carry
ing with him into every relation of life
the charming personal characteristics
which have made him known and beloved
CT men in every station in this commu-
nifty, he has left his imprint on every
line of the history Of Minnesota for at
least half century.
Our state has been greatly blessed in
the superior moral and intellectual mold
Of its leading pioneers. No man among
them all played a more valuable part or
played it better than the urbane gentle
man who made his bow a day or two
ago before the bench Of which he him
self had been a distinguished member.
Whenever and however his services
might be made available to the people
he has been at their command. In field
and forum, on the bench and at the bar.
his great endoN ments were revealed.
Had he chosen to pursue a public career
he would have left the imprint of his ripe
scholarship and answering patriotism
as deeply on the affairs Of state and ma
ton alike as ever did even the most Illus
trious men whom Minnesota contributed
to the public service.
Judge Flandrau's days have been long
in the land. His activities have been I'M
tagging during the lifetime Of two gen
erations. He will continue, h e Clio b g
hopes and believes, to lend the inspiration
of his name and influence to every pub
lie undertaking affecting the general wei
fare for long time to come. The years
have rested lightly upon him. He has
made full return of the great gift be-
slowed upon him, and he has been re-
spected and honored in equal measure.
There are many years of usefulness
still left TO the judge. While his fellow
citizens willingly admit that he has well
seeks, they Will long continue. in this
and other communities of the state, to
look to him, W hen the occasion demands,
for the exercise of those wise councils
and jealous deeds which he has ever
brought to the service of his fellow men.

serious to demand a severance of diplo-
matte relations.
We are on the eve of establishing a
great shipping trade with China. The at
titude which we have borne toward that
people and its rulers throughout the re-
memberment of the country. We have
entitled ourselves as a nation to the ever
lasting gratitude of the Chinese race. We
may, if we will. set all that aside. and
undo all the good that has been accom-
plished for the promotion Of our COM
merciaI relations with the people of that
country.
Such line of conduct we can follow.
and China will not suffer in the slightest.
The Geary law is effective for all uur-
poses. Properly enforced it does not ad-
nit of the admission of Chinese to any
extent whatever. Nobody thought of
more than its re-enactment until the mes
sage of the president was made public
In fact nobody demands more now. except
the radical people of the Pacific coast.
The question which Minister WI has
forced the federal officials. executive and
legislative, to consider is whether for
the mere sake of strengthening a law
adequate for all purposes our country is
willing to break off diplomatic relations
