MINNESOTA POLITICS

The Granite Falls Journal says:

Duluth to the effect that our governor has

in such comment as the foregoing. It Is

approval for the Van SAINT administration,
and If the hammers keep on pounding
they may arouse this latent sentiment
into genuine third term boom. Other
wise the governor will not be in the field,
and the next convention will choose from
new material.
Now to whom can Uncle Pease Of Anoka

Any money she may need at this-at this

Minneapolis now consumes million
dollars worth Of stamps a year. Since
contributions to the postal revenues are
given directly for business service per-
formed, they cannot be called taxes. but
Uncle Sam did last year take 100000
out of Minneapolis in customs revenues
alone, to say nothing Of what he got from
internal revenue collections Nor does
that represent all the federal taxes Min
neapolis people and other consumers OF
goods imported thru the Minneapolis Gus
toms house pay. They have to pay
large sum In the form Of increased prices
on goods imported elsewhere and sold
here, to say nothing of the protection tax
they may pay on articles manufactured
at home. Altogether the indirect federal
tax is much larger than the state tax,
and probably equals as much as half the
entire direct taxation Of the city. A
proposition to add 15 mills to the Mime
apolis tax rate would cause q riot, but
Uncle Sam takes that much and we never
miss it.

The negro can get along without the
ballot, but his case is hopeless II he is
not the equal Of the white man before the
courts OF law. The north used to think
that political equality was necessary to
legal equality. The south has maintained
that such is not the case. Yet 1t is well
known that In the south and in some
states that are not southern justice is not
meted out even handed to the poorer
classes of negroes. The peonages cases in
Alabama show in striking manner VIVA,
kind Of justice the negro sometimes gets
In that state. Booker Washington wisely
said at Louisville yesterday that whenever
the nation forgets or Is tempted to forget
the principle of justice the whole fabric
Of government is threatened.

A Successful Long Distance Race.

The automobile race in Ireland yester-
day was a great success. It demonstrated
that 1t Is quite possible to have long
distance races without great loss Of life
and limb. This will be a good demonstra-
ton to the thrill-loying who have been
aroused by accounts of these exciting
red-devil races, where car crashes oyer
q hill this second, skins across valley
the next second and is atop another hill in
a third.
There is no use saying that there is no
legitimate sport In these contests at ninety
miles an hour. There isn't a man with
red blood in his arteries whose heart does
not beat faster. at the prospect Of seeing
or participating In one. To be sure, some
machines were broken yesterday and one
man had shoulder broken; but there is
no sport that is without its dangers.
The race yesterday was between France
and Germany. The United States was not
in 1t. All day long the German, Jenatzy,
and the Frenchman, DeKnyff, fought for
first place, with the Frenchman Farman
close third. The German won. but he
had to fight for his honors, and the home
land Of the automobile was in no way
| disgraced.
There is no reason why, in the near
future, automobile racing should not be-
come more popular than horse racing. An
automobile race is, in the last resort, an
entirely human contest. The machine is
q production of mans skill, whereas the
race horse is only In part the work Of
man. When automobiles race, the skill
Of a manufacturer is pitted agains,
his rivals skill. and the skill Of
the driver is no less than the skill Of
the jockey. In an industrial age tnere
should be something especially fascinat'
ing about contests between machines
which are the very symbol Of the me.

The terrible penalty that over
took King Alexander of Servia,
Thursday morning, is partially
explained in the following para
graph of voluminous dispatches:
"Naumovics presented to the
king a form of abdication for his
signature. The document con-
tanned the statement that by
marrying a public prostitute, "
the king had degraded Servia,
and that, therefore. he must abb
dictate. The kings answer was
to draw revolver and kill Naum-
OWES on the spot"
The crown heads of modern
times in forgetting their own
self-respect too often forget the
rights of their subjects.
