SATURDAY. JUNE rs, 1904.
THE VICE PRESIDENTIAL NoMI.
NEE

Charles Warren Fairbanks, being
naturally reticent, not to say secretive,
the public has remained somewhat in
the dark as to his antecedents. He is
known to contemporary fame as one of
the most dignifed members of the most
exclusive club on earth, the senate of
the United States. His spare figure,
invariably garbed. in the flowing habili-
ments Of the statesman of the old
school, is distinctly suggestive of aris-
tocratic tendencies. His indifference to
haps the most marked characteristic of
the man. He has the air of an indi-
vidual naturally of the elect, socially.
His detractors have said of him that
he vies with the cactus in the seeming
of being congenial. AS a railroad law
yer used to demanding big fees he has
acquired the habit Of taciturnity, as
though he had become convinced Of the
golden value of talk and was laying up
some millions for that rainy day when
he is to become garrulous.
There is nothing about Charles War
rem Fairbanks to attract the applause of
the people and men have wondered
why it is that he should have been Sc
lected for the vice presidential nomina-
ton by chief whose d-e-e-light it is
to tickle the groundlings 1t has been
suggested that Mr.. Fairbanks, with his
seeming Of aristocratic superiority, was
chosen by Mr.. Roosevelt as a foil to
his own intensely popular personality.
A ticket headed by a rough-riding,
open handed, fearless, cutting and
shooting person from the jungle of
Oyster Bay and tailed by a Hoosier of
graceful poise and reserved manner,
such as Mr. Fairbanks presents on dress
parade ought to appeal to the classes
and the masses. But this hypothesis
does not satisfactorily account for the
combination and the elevation of Fair
banks. There are better reasons for
diana. These reasons have hitherto
been carefully kept in the back ground
and are now flashed before the eyes of
delighted and eXpectant nation. They
are manifold and convincing, though
so recently discovered. They may be
thus enumerated:
E'0irha nh &c oe
he was born in a log cabin located, for
political purposes, in an Ohio clearing;
he worked his way through school and
college; he taught country school:
became lawyer, self-taught, and early
in life had the excellent judgment to
ally himself with the Republican partv.
What's the use of struggling against
fate when she assemblies in one man all
these claims on the presidential office?
Mr.. Roosevelt in choosing Mr.. Fair
banks simply recognized in him an ag-
gregation Of excellencies which puts
him clearly in the presidential class.
Mr.. Fairbanks may not possess those
elements of popularity which made
Whitelaw Reid the idol Of the masses:
he may be shy of the superfuous mill
lions of Levi P. Morton. But having
had the good judgment to make his
earthly debut in a log cabin, in the
state of Ohio, to attend a common
school-instead of going to select
seminary for young ladies-and to
thrive by the law and politics what
else is necessary? The biographer Of
Mr.. Fairbanks has endowed him with
30 many Of the rudimentary elements

COURT DISCREDITS
STORY OF VAGRANT
Jacob Ambrose Rides on a Mythical
Street Car Line

Jacob Ambrose, a tramp so ragged
that he would be considered a carica-
ture of the real article, was brought
into police court yesterday and at
tempted to palm off on Judge Hine
this story:
Il was in South st. Paul and started
for the real st. Paul on the street car.
AT the city limits the conductor in
sisted that he must have another fare.
/ would not be imposed on in this man
ner and determined that l would walk.
Ambrose was sentenced to fifteen
days at the works, and will doubtless
spend the time wondering why he was
so promptly sentenced. not being aware
that St. Paul and South st. Paul are
not connected by street car lines.

She smiled patronizingly on the old
man, who stared and looked daZed. After
two blocks more he again attempted to
rise, but the young woman pushed him
back, explaining politely: I've stood so
long now I don't mind it. Please keep
your seat.

Mistake to conciIiate Tammany

The national convention may find it
advisable to nominate some one else
than Judge Parker-and there are many

make a mistake if it attempts to con-
ciliate Tammany. The sacrifice is too
great. Tammany cannot be corciliated
except by complete surrender to it's

What the Editors Say.

One of our exchanges very pointedly
calls attention to the instructions sent
out by the state auditor notifying town
assessors how they must assess farm
property giving minimum rates below
which stock and other property must
not be assessed, but omitting entirely
to specify proportionate rates for
stocks of merchandise, etc. The point
seems to be well taken. Why, for in
stance, should the law require at least
a 90 per cent valuation in the case of
farmers, stockmen, mechanics and
others, and permit 10 per cent valua-
ton in case Of stocks of goods in
wholesale and retail houses, mills and
elevators, and allow some big corpora
tions to escape at even a lower rate?
Are not laws supposed to exist for the
equal benefit of all?-Anoka Free
Press.

lican high places in Wisconsin, Iowa,
