1t is not right to be unduly dis
couraged by a mistake. Some peo-
pie are plunged into misery if they
do anything wrong, even if they do
not intend it. That is not reason
able, nor is it fair to themselves.
None but God-like intelligence, en-
dowed with omniscicnce, should be
discouraged by mistake. The righ,
human attitude toward unintended
mistakes is not an attitude of de
spair, but Of repair.

Two Kinds Of Grating.

Mr.. O. F. Brand, horticulturist,
writes to protest against the bad sig
nificance the word graft has acquired,
a Significance that is now better known
to the public than the original mean
ing of the word in the horticulturist's
craft. This protest, published else
where, will be of interest to those ex-
cellent persons, the horticultdrists,
who are now holding their annual con-
vention in Minneapolis.
AS a lover Of his calling, Mr.. Brand
quite naturally resents the degrada-
ton of a word that describes such a
beneficial operation as that of graft
ing in the physical sense, whereby the
root oritrunk of tree is made to sup
port a foreign branch. This sort of
grating is always practiced for the
benefit of Improvement. This sort of
CRATER is an ornament to society and
a. contributor to the general welfare.
His grating often results in personal
benefit, but it is an honest personal
benefit which is blessing to the COM
n1unity. 1t is a grating which con-
strtlcts instead Of destroying, which
milltiplies instead of depicting.
yet it is easy to see how the rnaligr
Significance came to attach itself te

Avoiding Tariff Discussions.

It is announced from washington
that there is small hope that any tariff
legislation in favor Of the. Philippines
will be enacted at the regular session
Of congress: The reason is that the
Introduction of the subject would slim
ulatesa tariff symp osium and affect7the
political campaign adversely to srepub1
lican. interests by reason Of the. delay
to public business incident to- tariff
discussion. There is some force in
this argument but the United States
government has a very important duty
to perform, for its dependency the
Philippine archipelago, and it is hardly
questionable that this duty should re-
ceive the prefix paramount Isl 81.
Governor Taft and the other officials
at Manila have very earnestly COM
tended for al liberal reduction of duties
on goods imported inte, this country
from THE Philippines Congress has
conceded 25 per cent of the Ding1ey
tariff duties, While75 per cert re ductior
has been asked. IT has been well ar
gued that no serious injury has resulted
from removing the duties s entirely
from Porto Rican products imported
into the United States. Eng eeds. h o.

dreadful predictions :of s1.ititl;;' made
| when the matter was under. discussion
by congress, have been In any form

An Old Story.

This story Of wholesale corruption
from Grand Rapids is not altogether
new. We get now in one staggering
concentration the story Of wholesale
corruption in that city which has
come heretofore in driblets, together
with some new facts. 1t is a story,
that has now become SO familiar to the
American people, with merely the
names and places changed, that we
even wonder that the newspapers still
give front page places to Its various
versions.
This heaping of revelation of cor
ruption upon revelation overwhelms
and discourages those who believe in
better things. A cloud of pessimism
settles down upon good citizens, and
they incline to think with Burke that
more or less corruption is necessary
evil Of government.
But more than that, this almost
universal corruption makes us lose
faith in each other, and we begin to
think cynically to ourselves that he
who is not a, CRATER has not had a
chance to graft. We wonder If, after
our repeated self assurances that at
heart the people are sound and honest,
there is not something radically wrong
with the masses as well as the lead
ers. We almost ask despairingly,
Can anybody be trusted?
1t is not really so bad as that, but
the people are not what they should
be. In the current Century, Dr. j.
M. Buckley says that there are three
great menaces to this nation-fana-
| ticism, indifferentism and immortality
| Of these, we prefer to believe that the
present ills of the body; polite are due
more to indifferentism than to the
| other two. In this republic, which
| depends upon the people who par
! ticipate in its affairs, we find that a
majority Of those who ought to be
our best people in every sense Of the
word are Indifferent to politics and
governments. Our government will be
good when our people go into it.
In the midst Of such discouragine
times and revelations as these, it is az
a glass of cool water to the thirsty tt
read these words by the venerable
Senator Hoar:
The lesson which have learned in life
which is impressed on me daily, and NOR
| deeply as I grow old, Is the lesson Of goo
will and good hope I believe that to-da
4 is better than Yesterday and that tcmor
4 row will be better than to-day. I helieY
that in spite OF so many errors an
wrongs, and even crimes, my countryme
of all classes desire what is good, and nc

A Place for a Big Man.

Some reference Is made in the polit-
ical column on this page to-day as to
the congressional situation on the re-
publican side in this district. Of
course, it is early to think about cam
didates for congress, and the feature
of the situation which suggests itself
most forcibly at this time is the folly
of voters committing themselves to
candidates thus far in advance, unless
they are assured that the best and
most desirable man obtainable for the
place has already offered himself. I'm
der our primary system, If the people
are to pledge themselves readily on the
first solicitation it will soon be. q, Dues
ton of which candidate gets into the
field first and first solicits ones vote,
rather thanl which is the best man for
the place. This early p1edging Of
votes under. our primary system is
much to be deplored. 1t embarrasses
many conscientious voters later on,
who find themselves bound to vote for
candidates who were not entitled to
their support when compared with
others who came later into the field.
Without reference to the claims or
qualifications of any candidates now In
the field, or who are likely to be there,
the proper thing for Minneapolis to do
is to send to Washington a man who is
capable of ranking right up with the
most capable and influential men of
the house, and one who will continue
to grow from year to year the longer
he La,,+ there hfipnaa no1ie ~
only owes 1t to herself to insist on
first-class talent for the office of con-
gresham but she owes 1t to the coun-
try at large. A man of mediocre abil-
lily may serve the purposes Of this
district fairly well In matters of small
detail, but suppose congress were
made up entirely Of men who were
neither informed on great public ques-
tons nor valuable to the country in
the solution of them, what kind of re-
suits could we expect at the hands Of
congress? And if we are going to
have men Of ability to deal with these
great questions, why. isn't it up to Min.
neapolis to furnish some of that talent
as we'll as Maine. Massachusetts, New
York or any other state? =
Minneapolis. as q republican city, is
entitled to the services of an extraor.

tives and ought not to be satisfied with
any other kind.

TUESDAY EVENING,


this good word. The grated portion
of the tree draws it's life from the part
to- which it Is attached; it utilities for
it's own purposes and in it's own ways
the life-giving fluids that were de-
signed by nature for another purpose
and We're prepared by another plant.
SO the political CRATER attaches him
self to the body of the political tree
and diverts to himself without earn
ing it a portion of the public funds or
IN some other way draws from the
public welfare to fatten himself. If
some poisonous plant were grated on
a good one and the good tree thus
bore poisonous fruit; the analogy be-
tween horticultural and political
grating would be clear, tho strictly
speaking the so-called political CRATER
corresponds rather to the parasite
than to the graft. NJ

at the Masonic Temple, and it is
gratifying to know that there is
lively demand for tickets among bust
ness and professional men who take
pleasure in testifying in this way Of
their good will toward the university
and university athletics. n.
Minneapolis can afford to do thing
of this kind right. This great insti-
tuition on the east bank of the river
has grown up SO Quietly and gradually
that we probably do not realize as a
community its immense proportions
and what the city owes to It as an In

The university is worth "a Oxen CAPT

There are this year nearly 4,00O
