A STEP TOWARD REVOLUTION.

The president has furnished the cue
for good deal of nonsense on the
part Of the editors Of his party press.
Just as he told the world in his Cincin-
natl speech that anthracite coal was
admitted free of duty, and declared
should be punished, so he has
in the exuberance of his cham
pionship of his own administration as
sured the world that constitutional
amendment, handing over the trusts
to the exclusive control Of congress,
would fix the whole thing.
Whether the president in advancing
this remarkable proposition is to be
regarded as trying to stave off the in
evitable for the trusts and to conceal
the identification in interest Of his
administration with the trusts, or
whether he was honestly ignorant of
the significance of his words, his party
editors are becoming quite demon
strative in their assurances that such
a constitutional amendment is just the
thing, and that those who declare that
it is revolutionary are, in the language
Of the day, talking through their
hats"
1t is not likely that any citizen whose
knowledge of the constitution is more
than merely cursory, will, on reflection,
accept this view, no matter what his
politics is. The adoption Of a consti-
tutiona1 amendment which would give
exclusive control to congress over do
nestle corporations, whether or not
they were engaged in interstate COM
merce in whole or in part, would re-
suit in changing this political system
of ours from a federal republic to
something entirely different. The
states as political entities would not at
once cease to exist; but the way would
thereby be opened for the revolution
which would ignore our entire political
history and which would soon bring

HOW SHE LANDED HIM.

It was August the third,
And quite soft were her eyes,
Which it might be inferred
That the girl was likewise.
But in fact at a show for spring chickens
She would never have taken a prize.
Which she played a small game,
And the, boy; took hand,
He murmured her name
Rather Ffearfplly, and
At last got her off in a corner
In exactly the way she had planned.
She sighed as girls can
When conditions are fair,
And thrilled the young man
Who cooed unto her there
He had something he wanted to tell her,
AS the maiden, perhaps, was aware.
In a casual way
She exposed to his view
A locket. fDismay
Filled her eyes, and she drew
1t away from the boy, who had clutched 1t
And thfeatened to break it in two.
They were there all alone,
And he longed to possess
And he said: Cant you guess
The story I'm longing to tell your"
She fell in his arms and said yes"
He is wondering yet
Why the fates were so kind,
How he happened to get
Her alone. He's inclined
To think he was clever and crafty,
And he's happy, SO let's never mind.

the tariff must be let alone, and that
the business welfare of the country Is
irrevocably bound up in leaving both
undisturbed in their ability to force the
prices up to whatever notch suits the
needs of our American plutocracy.
1t is incredible that under the condi-
tons of public sentiment prevailing at
the outset of this campaign through
the declared attitude of the Repub-
icans on the trusts and the tariff, the
people of Minnesota will fail to turn
Van SAINT and his political lackeys out
of the positions they prostitute.

VICTORY IN THE STATE.

With the Democratic campaign yet
scarcely open transformation alto
gether unprecedented has set in. Re-
publicans who We're enthusiastic in
their predictions of the success of their
party have lost their faith, and Demo-
Gratis who regarded the work of the
Minneapolis convention with doubtful
approval have taken up the spirit of
the enthusiast where the Republican
brethren appear to have laid it down.
Where one Democrat foresaw party
success in the state month ago ten
see it today. Where ten Republicans
foresaw the success of Van SAINT and his
crowd a month ago, not one accepts
any such forecast today.
A good deal of the credit of this
state of things is due to Leonard A.
Rosing. The Democratic standard
bearer in the state was we'll described
in the convention which nominated
him as st. Paul among the apostles
in the inspiration which he had ever
offered to his fellow Democrats, and

ciples.
But Mr.. Rosing cannot be expected
to carry his party to victory alone. He
must have the loyal support from his
party brethren. Every Democrat must
constitute himself an apostle of De-
mocracy. There is no intelligent rea-
son why this state should continue
overwhelmingly Republican, or Repub-
lican at all. The votes which in the past
have gone to the defeat of the Demo-
cratic party are the votes of the strug-
Cling manhood of the state; the votes

mand for everything which the Democ-
racy exists for the promotion Of There
is not consumer or a producer in
Minnesota who is not bound to the
chariot wheels Of the trusts who should

by Committee at Luverne.
The regular Democratic campaign,
planned by the state central committee,
Luverne, Friday Sept. rs. Beside Mr.. Ros-
ing and the local speakers, George P.
Jones, of Rock, candidate for clerk OF tho
supreme court, and G. N. Andrews, Sec
speak at the opening meeting.
All the meetings and county fair
speeches made by Mr.. Rosing prior to the
Luverne meeting are outside the Juris-
diction of the state central committee.
The county fair addresses have, of course.
not been political, in that the issues of
the campaign have not been discussed.
Today at Glencoe, for the Mcleod county
fair, and tomorrow at Madison, for Lac
qui Parle county, closes Mr.. Rosing's in
dependent touring, and the committee as
SumeS control.
Mr.. Rosing, with Messrs. Jones and An
drews, will go to Slayton from Luverne,
and Sunday Mr.. RoSing returns to st.
Paul. The stumping campaign proper
will probably not be inaugurated before
Oct. The committee has its plans per
fected and fine list of speakers to draw
on. The congressional candidates VIII
cooperate with the state organization,
and the national congressional organ1za-
ton is expected to send several national
figures into Minnesota for limited num-
Der of speeches each.
The committee will enter upon the cam
paign in splendid shape to wage one OF
the most vigorous battles in the political
history Of the Northwest. The organiza-
ton work has been pushed beyond the
expectations of the men at the helm,
and the Democracy Of the state has re-
sponded in a manner as gratifying as II
was unexpected. There are no weak
spots in the Democratic armor, and where
the ranks are thinnest enthusiasm runs
highest.

COUNTY AND STATE.

ramsey county IN the prevailing
contest must be relied upon in great
measure for the success of the party
election. All political experience has
shown that the nature and extent of
the struggle made for political prin-
ciple in the several localities always
determine the result in the state. If
the Democrats of Ramsey county Or
ganize and work in this contest as
preceding city elections such an ag-
gregate vote will have been cast and
such a majority will have been secured
for the ticket in Ramsey county as will
represent valuable contribution to
the success of the state ticket.
The result of the primaries is TOW
known. With the exception involved
in the contest over the nomination for
office of clerk of the courts, the Demo-
cratic ticket in Ramsey county is COM
plete. Taken all in all that ticket is
an excellent one. The men who COM
pose it are all recognized good citizens
and intelligent and capable men. In
every instance they more than bear
comparison with their respective OPP
ponents. They are the representatives
of the party to which the taxpayers
Of the county have been forced to turn
in their determination to establish
honest and economical administration
of their local affairs.
The great need of the party in the
present instance, in this as in all other
communities, is organization. The
nIan which has been seen often in OPP
Grafton in this community Of individual
candidates conducting individual cam
paigns without reference to the inter
ests of their associates on the ticket
must not be tolerated. Without eitec-
tive organization success is Impossible.
Without the jealous cooperation of
the several candidates, one with the
other, in the campaign, there can be no
organization.
The chief defect of the present pri-
mary system from the party point OF
view, lies in the total absence Of all
opportunities through it to promote
party organization, and it's disposition
to put an end to party leadership. In
such situation the candidates them
selves must be relied upon to main
tain organization and to render it eff
fective. The record which the Demo-
Gratis of Ramsey county made in the
state contests of two and four years
ago, as indicated by the vote cast for
Gov. Lind, if repeated this year, will
result in the election of local candi
dates and of state ticket alike. The
contest on the Democratic side in
Ramsey county involves more than a
mere scramble of individuals for Office.
If it is conducted effectively it will Sc
cure the success of the party in the
state, will establish the success of the
party enduringly in the county, and
must ultimately result in the perma-
nent redemption of the state from Re-
publican control
The Democrats of Ramsey county
have a great opportunity and great
responsibilities upon them.

to an end all thought of state citizen
ship and establish centralized gov
eminent such as the founders of the re-
public struggled to avoid, and the posi-
bility of which they regarded as one Of
the chief dangers in the path of free
government on this continent.
No reader of American political or
constitutional history can believe that
the present constitution would ever
have been framed if such POSSIBLE
ity could have been foreseen. The fed
Grafton of States effected prior to the
establishment Of the constitution
shows too clearly the jealousy with
which 1.-the useyeral colonies regarded
their sovereign rights as free states to
leave any doubt whatever on this
score. Now, if congress is to have the
sole power to govern and control the
trusts, or consultations of capital en-
gagged in commercial and industrial en-
terprises, why should it not also be
given charge of, the administration Of
the state courts, or of any other Of the
concerns of the commonwealth which
under our federal system is now con-
Quoted through the several states?
What, under such circumstances, is to
become Of the rights of the several
states and of the people thereof which
the constitution expressly reserves to
the states and the people respectively?
1t is claimed that the power to regu-
late interstate commerce reserved in
the constitution offers some warrant
for such a dangerous experiment as
the president assumes the RESPONSE
bility for. AS well appeal for war
rant to the power reserved in the con-
Stitution to congress to enact a uni
form bankrupt law. This is even
worse nonsense than the claim that
the dangers of the trusts justify the
constitutional experiment. Congress
now has the right to regulate the
trusts and to dissolve those of them
which are maintained in contravention
of the peoples rights under the eonsti-
tuition. The federal courts have juris-
diction to punish and prevent their OPP
erations. But we have not witnessed
anything having been seriously done
or even undertaken in this regard,
and WEI are not likely to, at least as
long as it is generally recognized, as
it is by friend and foe alike, that the
trusts and combines maintain friendly
relations with the leaders of the Re
publican party.
The scheme Of the president in
wolves revolution. If the revolution is
to come let it come; but it will not be
brought, about, as the French plebis-
cite was brought about, through an
apparent popular sanction based on
popular ignorance. The American peo-
pie, if they determine on changing the
fundamental character of their polit-
ical institutions, will do SO with their
eyes open, as long as the Democratic
party exists to properly advise them.

PLAY HIDE AND SEEK.
Duffy G. Co. Have Last Inning in Third
Ward Sprint Game

Ward Sprint Game.
A meeting of the Third ward Repub-
hcan organization broke up in a row,
and George Lambs crowd went home In
a milf.
The trouble arose over the selection Of
Third ward representative on the city
and county organization. George Lamb
backed Harry Simmons for the job, and
the redoubtable John Duffy Is behind lit
tie DR.. Haas, to stay until something
breaks.
When Duffy and his friends showed up
at the headquarters in the Portland ftst
night they discovered that Lamb had one
too many for them and sought safety in
flight. They beat the bush and in half
an hour returned, twenty-one strong.
Lamb had eleven stalwarts and saw his
finish. He gave the high sign and tore
for the timber, with forces crippled but
we'll in hand.
The Duffy contingent was strong
enough to constitute a quorum, but with
a clean majority of the entire organiza-
ton in sight, Duffy preferred to rub it in
a bit by taking high moral ground.
No advantage of the fleeing brothers alb
sence would be taken. Duffy had the
goods and could afford to wait a few
other fellows squirm.
The meeting adjourned; went down the
street a few doors; resolved itself into a
knockers session, and issued protest
against the election of L. 0. Wilson as
the Third wards representative on the
executive committee. Thursday evening
the Duffy contingent agrees to take the

line lust for exercise.
