Ventilation Through the Walls

The fact is that considerable ventila

quite a large exchange of fresh for

A DELIBERATE MAN.

the stage as well.
Charles Stuart, one time senator from
Michigan. was travelling by stage
through his own state. The weather
was bitterly cold, the snow deep, the
roads practically unbroken. The stage
WAS nearly one hour late at the dinner
station. everybody was more or less
cross and in Il hurry and the situation
uncomfortable to the last degree.
Senator Stuart sat down to his din
ner With his usual deliberation, not
withstanding the word that was pass

of co,er. The crowd laughed and
flung back chatf at the deliberate man
at the table.
While the household, as was the Gus

THE COUNTY AUDITOR

The splendid campaign that Fred
Beck is making as a candidate for the
office of county auditor has commend
ed him very highly to the thinking men
of the county, and there is every pros
pect that he win be elected. Mr. Beck
has demonstrated to everybody with
whom he has come in contact that he
is an earnest, capable man, and his
activity is an evidence that he will give
the office Of auditor that attention
which it has needed for some years.
The people are entitled to a look into
the Office of the auditor. For years it
has been an appanage Of the Repub-
lican party. 1t has been fruitfully
worked by members of that party and
its records have been freely exploited
for the profit Of men who have made
fortunes by dealing-and rather sharp
ly-in tax titles. The exposures Incl
dent to the prosecution and conviction
Of .ex-Deputy Auditor Walter Bourne
indicated a condition which should be
remedied at any cost. We do not know
what Auditor Krahmer has done to inn
prove this condition. We do know that
he is a narrow partisan, whose OBJ
structive methods have prevented re-
forms in county administration when
they were attempted by County Attor-
ney Kane.
Mr.. Krahmer has profund affection
for office, and he manages to keep in
the running by standing very close to
the organization with which he is affil-
lated. So thorough a politician is not
the best sort Of man to have charge
of an Office requiring great attention in
the matter of detail.
Mr.. Beck is not a professional politi-
clan. He is thorough business man,
and this quality in him has greatly i'm
pressed the thousands of people with
whom he has come in contact. We
bespeak for him the attention of the
taxpayers who understand and appre-
ciate the importance Of keeping the
county records in an orderly and safe
manner. He win, if this attention is
given to the claims of Mr.. Beck and his
opponent, stand well at the top of the
poll on election day.

RACE sENsITlvENEss

The criticism pronounced by Dr.
Hirseh. of Chicago, on the racial pride
exhibited by his own people might be
applied with equal truth to every for
eign nationality represented in this
country, and it is very probable that
the dwellers in the American quarter
in foreign cities exhibit precisely this
same pride in the achievements of their
countrymen and this same sensitive
ness. It is a feeling easily understand
able. The intelligent man who takes
up his residence in a foreign country
finds that his new neighbors are not
most familiar with the best people of
his own nationality and he fears that
they will be inclined to judge that ma
tionality by the immigrants who are
chiefly laborers. The latter may be
worthy citizens, but their more cul
tured brethren feel that they do not
represent the best that their country
stands for.
These members of a better educated
class, therefore, feel it incumbent upon
them to. resent any criticism of their
nationality. thatsis based on the actions
or the customs of their less cultured
brethren. In a very short time. they

entitled 1.-THE Pirates of Panama. COM
prise the entertainment at the Star this
week. An attractive chorus, artistically
costumed, is a pleasing feature of the
piece. The voices are good and the prinei-

music and the book are apparently a
wasted effort in burlesque. Obviously
much of it has been sacrificed to the pop
u1ar demand for less subtle comedy. The
author Erne A. Warsaw, his brother and

leading roles. The Warsaw brothers and

POLITICS IN THE NATIONAL
GUARD

When Capt NJ. j. Wiley. M. N.
G., organized the Ramsey County Ii
gers The GIob was disposed to
commend his activity in a field of pol
itics peculiarly Republican and unex-
plored. When the Tigers gave up the
unequal fight against the power of pelf
and Office we did not refuse the tear to
the father of that distinguished organ
ization. His other efforts in the line Of
attracting publicity to his candidacy
for the Office of adiutant general went
unrebuIzed, and when those efforts ap-
peared to have been wasted he did not
want for sympathy Of the sort that is
always at the disposal of the unhappy.
But Capt. Wiley has come to take
himself altogether too seriously. He
has assumed to indicate to the mem
bers of the national guard how they
shall vote in order that they may be
profted the most. His idea of profit
to the guard would probably take the
form of a commission as adjutant gen
eral.
Capt Wiley is really too bad. He
should not assume that everybody
knows him as a joke. There are some
members of the national guard who
will be disposed to seriously resent the
captains statement that the legislature
will not pass national guard measures
in case Mr.. johnson is elected govern
or, "as he would then get the credit
and might be given the support of the
national guard in 1906"
Capt. Wiley is a politician who gets
a fine, broad view of things through
the crack in door. He might have
gone the limit with his theory and de-
handed the support of the state uni
versity. the other state institutions and
the insane hospitals-where his theory
] might have made hit.
We have no fear that the attempts
| made by Capt Wiley on the national
guard will have any other effect than
lining up that organization in favor OF
Mr. Johnson, who formerly held COM
mission in the guard and is in active
sympathy with the organization and
1 knows its needs. Two years ago the
Republican governor promised the
I guard a junket to the worlds fair. He
gained nothing by it and we do not
believe that the members Of the guard
will be any more impressed by the
bugaboo of Wiley than they was by the
specious promise of Candidate Van
