DO NOT BE APATHETIo.

Republicans should not be oyer-con-
6dent of success at the polls. Apathy
has cost the party dearly at times in
the past The primaries are over and
now all should get together for the
grand and final rush to be made in
November.
The prospects for Republican success
are bright and they should be kept
illumined by the earnest work of the
men who have in the past fought the
good fight.
Republicans should not labor under
the belief that because the opposition
has failed to nominate strong candi-
dates that there is no work to be
done. On al off year there are Repub-
licans who feel that it is not their
duty to get to the polls on election
day, thinking that the election of
their party cand ldates is assured
without their votes. This is a wrong
conclusion. Every Republican should
cast his vote and prior to Nov. he
should do proper service for his party.
Governor Van SAINT ia certain of re-
election but his majority should be
made so large that there can be no
mistaking the feelings of the people
toward him because of his attitude on
important questions, vital to the well
fare of the whole people. If every Re-
publican does his duty there can be no
question of his endorsement in a
manner that will not only be crafty
ing to him but will make all the more
powerful the contest waged against
certain schemes that are detrimental
to the people of the whole northwest.

With nomination for congress in
his inside pocket, J. Adam Bede of
Pine county is sure to reach the goal
of his ambition. That he will be
elected, there is not a particle of
doubt, because the Republican major
ity in his district is SO large that the
Democrats can hardly expect to over
come it. j. A lam is a genius, humor-

WILL TALK PLAINLY.

President Roosevelt is on his way
toward the west. His tour will be
watched with marked interest for the
reason that he will give the people
some plain talk and will give his
views on the lack of connection be-
tween the tariff and the trusts.
President Roosevelt is rightly of the
opinion that revision of the tariff
cannot be accomplished at the short
session OF congress. He recognizes
that tariff revision along proper lines
must not be done hastily that con-
fusion might result and the vast bust
ness interests of the country can be
previously affected by undue haste.
President Roosevelt will continue
his stand in favor of general policy
of reciprocity.
1t must not be understood that
President Roosevelt is to take back
track on the matter of the trusts.

DRUGGISTS GET RICH.
What Mankato People Found Out at
Altoona, Iowa. (

Algona, Iowa. according to the
police officers who were witnesses
there before the grand jury against
William Taylor, is supposed to be a
prohibition town. There are no
saloons, yet the five drug stores are
doing a fine business. The town is
only about as big as st. Peter, but
one of the druggists has made $25, 600
in five years, starting in as prescrip-
ton clerk. The officers noticed more
beer bottles around the town than
could be found in Mankato, and keg
of beer was opened in the basement
of the court house. Nobody had any
trouble in getting Hamm's bottled
beer.
Thus, while Algona could be deriv-
ing a revenue of So, 0O0 to SIC, 600 q
year from saloons under high license,
it has to raise all its money by taxa
tion. AS result, liquor is sold just
about as freely, and the streets are
badly out of repair for the lack of
funds to fix them.
