A decided air of cheerfuIness pervaded the banquet

thought lost before it begun, not by long shot
Several of the speakers proclaimed belief in

upon knowledge of Democratic harmony and Repub-

try it is brought his mind wildly than that
each advantage he gains is the result of hardfought
battle with capital in combination and that each battle
he fights is harder win because the combinations of
capital are becoming powerful each year.
The avowed candidacy of Senator Fairbanks for the
nomination will anger the Roosevelt following
which consists of the oceholders and such the party
as still believe his antitrust demonstrations on the
square Fairbanks will have behind him. if he makes any
kind OF showing, the politicians of the party the great
bosses OF the great states. These are intensely
hostile to Roosevelt and if he is nominated spite of
their efforts to defeat him is more than probable they
Will let him go down defeat Just as they let Blaine be
defeated.
Without the active, earnest, loyal support of Quay,
Ek1ns Hanna Plat, Fairbanks and others of their kind
no Republican be elected president These men are
out OF favor at the White house and would continue
to be if Roosevelt were elected in 1904 They would
rather have Democrat than the present executive.
On the other hand, the Democrats are going into the
next campaign united aggressive, positive, cbnfdent.
They can win if they stick together.

SPRING RACES AT HAMLINE,
House Bill Provides for Lease of Fair
Grounds to Breeders Association.

bill to provide for an annual forty
day race meeting at HamIine in the
months of June and July was yester-
day introduced in the house by Rep
resentatve HannafOrd Wright county.
The bill provides that the State
Agricultural association shall give the
Minnesota Horse Breeders association
a five-year lease, covering annually a
forty-day period, and at an annual
rental of $500, which is to be ex-
pended in premiums for agricultural
EXHIBITS at the fair. The breeders as
ISOLATION to be given ten days preced-
ing the annual meeting to fit the
grounds and tracks and ten days after
the meeting in which to restore the
grounds, which is made obligatory.
The anti-pool law Of 1895 is abro-
gated only in so far as it applies to
the grounds during a race meeting
The breeders and horse owners behind
the bill claim that it will not only give
the horse breeding industry in Mime
sofa great impetus, but that it will
be. source of revenue to the state
and in part cut down the annual ap-
preparations the state is required to
make for the fair.
The bill also provides that the
grounds may be leased by other in
corporated associations for race meet
lngS or horse shows, which must end
at least twenty-five days before the
first Monday in September. The
ground rental for such leases Is fixed
at $500 per day, trotting meetings and
morse shows, and $3.50 per day for run
ming meetings.

WOMEN" AND LADIES

That was sensible act that the members of tte
Auxiliary to the Manufacturers association performed
when they changed the prefix Ladies" to Women"
There IS really nothing Objectionable about the
term lady, it is simply its vulgar abuse that has made #
IN some measure ridiculous. 1t is fine old hig-sound
ing word 1t meant muchformany years. Originally coin
ed to designate person of the female sex who stood
apart from the mob by reason of birth or alliance i
came gradually to be used as substitute for gentle
woman 1t had its highest usefulness in this sense
Modern usage has led to the abuse of the term and it
no longer carries with it the implication of dignity that
IS conveyed in the wholesome Saxon woman.
1t has not contributed at all to the dignity that
used to appertan to the term LADY to hear person
claim from the other side of the footghts "Me Mother
Was Loidy" The desire of lady to take on scrub
bing contracts is frequently indicated in the advertis
ing columns OF the newspapers and though the mere
TACT that woman made her living by scrubbing floors
would not preclude the possibility II hsx h.inr ls6

In the resolution the old soldiers
point out that in their opinion the in

time much easier time than the old
soldier on the outside who is depend

the law permitting the inmates to hold
all their pension money some old SOL

THE POET AND THE TARIFF

The Hon. w. D. Washburn Jr. scion of that house
which, according to the late Ignatius Donnely holds
the hereditary right of representation in the halls of
IeglSaon has forsaken poetry and gone in for prose
The latest flight of his genius is taken on the wings of
the tariff and after dgestng the we feel inspired
to hope that the gifted writer will go back to poetry
and therefore save the traditions of his house II he
continues to daily with the tariff he must inevitably be
read out OF his party and then what would become of
the Washburn hereditary rights?
Perhaps this concern for the distinguished house
OF WaShburn should not be permitted weigh against
other important considerations If MI Washburn fore
goes poetry and sticks to the tariff the muse will be
saved some Disagreement and some misguided ones
who think they can read Browning will be saved from
the desparing effort of trying to apply his measure
ments to Washburn
Poet Washburn's effort in poesy demonstrated the
tact that the divine afatuS possessed the singer Else
he must have written some numbers that would be in
telglDe to the reader who reads with his eve rather
than with his soul. For instance the lucidtv Of t ;s
only apparent to that he she who can rise above the
grosser things and soar:
Oh, abyssmal abyss,
Whose darking deeps
Invite plunge
And nature creeps
IhS IS not a sample of his poetry, but an example
OF Mr.. Washburns style 1t speaks the true spirit Of
poetry and thrills the soulful reader with tie hope that
the singer will go farther into the world of sonndno
numbers The scOfer might hope that he would 90 far
enough to be lost but then there were those who sco
ed at Browning.
Thus it is that divided in Our mind between
d desire to have the poet continue to daily with the
muse and mad hope that he will attack the tariff again
and break down the barriers that shut the Missssipni
valley out from the benefits of protection
1t was not to be expected that Mr.. Haslburn's
genius would prove equal to both tariff and poetry
but II we must elect, then let us hope that he will 90
on singing and let more earthly minds grappIe with the
tariff philosopher declared that he cared not who
made the laws If he could but sing the songs of PEG,
PIE Let Poet Washburn take this exalted view Bet
ter to be the poet who got next to the heart Of the
people by singing:
There a blooming sparrow
Went up blooming spout
Along came thunder storm
And washed the beggar out
than give ones to mere tariff law
