Duluth, a part Of which is printed else
where on this page, he informs curl

Because we are populists.
Because we are jingoes. s...E
Because we are opposed to the man

Because we were for Bryan in 1896.
Because some of us want to be on the
winning side.
It Is no wonder that after this Mr.. Mel
son concludes that the republican party
feeble intellectually.
But it is conf orting to know that Mr.
Nelson is mostly wrong. .g.-
He dated his letter DULUTH, but he
| might just as we'll have written it in the
| PROFESSIONAL chair at Williams. BY com.
| ing out to Duluth to write it he enjoyed
a pleasant trip. . ...
In his inner consciousness Mr. Nelson is
quite suressthat there Is something tht
matter with President Roosevelt and The
people who admire him. The more3 Mr.
Nelson thinks this, the more evidence h.
sees of it wherever he goes.
It makes no difference that Bryan ha!
I twice been showed under IN Minnesota
and that the state never was CONTROLLED
by populisn. It is enough for Mr.. Nelson
to know that once there were some pop
ulists here and that once Bryan had SOM
supporters; ergo, the people supper
Roosevelt now. t
This is delicious. We wouldn't hav
had Mr.. Nelson stay at home this sum
mer for anything. 49,.

DRAMATIC CRITICISM IN KANSAS

The Atchison Globe never puts its most
interesting foot forward until a brass band
concert or an amateur entertainment is up
for reporting. Here is a specimen:
"The Feldkirchner children will be taken
on the road shortly and it is to be hoped
that they will take with them the man
who was Nos. 2 and on the program at
Forest park last evening, and lose him.
The city has no desire to miss a good citi-
zen, but Nos. 2 and can't sing. His voice
wouldn't pass muster in getting him a job
in the Salvation Army, but he tried it last
night, and when the people howled after
No. he took the bowling for applause and
appeared in No. 3. Then pandemonium
reigned. There were screenings, cat
calls, Kisses and laughter; had the mob
had leader, things might have been very
serious for Nos. 2 and 3. To add to the
injury, his voice inflicted, he wore his
working clothes, and love song in work
ing clothes jars the musical sensibilities
Of even those who cannot tell a occasional
hymn from ragtime.
Almost every one had heard the Field
kirchner children over and over again. SO
it will be no breach of politeness to say
that the attraction last night was the an

There was whoop and hooray at once,

tension Is really an attack on the Morris
law. The Journal does not believe
1t Is such. This paper championed the
carried out in every respect. The law no
where fixes the time within which the
pine shall be removed except that it pro-
yides that mill sites may be leased for ten
years or until the pine is cut within that
time, which indicates that the trainers Of
the act thought 1t possible that 1t might
require ten years to complete the work.
have the full advantage Of this term Of
years, but will not press for it.
AS matter of fact there is no great
difference between their opinion and that
of the Cass Lake people as expressed
elsewhere In this paper by Mr. A. G..
Bernard. He says that if there are good
reasons why an extension of time should
be granted, the Cass Lake people would
not oppose a five-year term with the I'M
Outstanding that a certain percentage Of
the timber must be removed each year.
The department of the interior is already
reported to be willing to make moderate
extension.
Really, it does seem as if all the parties
to this controversy had become unduly
excited. Possibly ten years is too long a
term for cutting the reservation pine and
is not likely to be granted anyway. but
we are confident that it will be better for
all concentration Duluth, for Cass Lake,
for Minneapolis and st. Paul and for the
people who expect to make their homes IN
the. lands to be opened up after the tim
Der is removed if the moment for remov-
ing the last stick of timber be set several
years ahead.
AS between having all the pine removed
| in one year and in five years we really
believe that the Cass Lake people would
prefer the longer period, especially as the
Morris law authorizes the secretary OF
the interior to open up the cut-over lands
in parcels, instead Of as a whole, as fast
as the timber is removed.
