Not Taken Seriously
Southern Statesmen Don't Believe
Republicans Will Reduce
Representation.

Washington, Nov. South
ern senators and representatives
now in the city do not anticipate
that the republicans will seriously
attempt to cut down the southern
representation in the house at the
coming session of congress. This
feeling seems also toprevail among
a great many Of conservative re-
publicans who have been ap-
preached. Little or nothing is
heard that would indicate any in
tention to stir up the south afresh
7ext winter.
A prominent senator from the
south. discussing the question, to-
day, said:
Il never believed the talk was
more than campaign slogan, des-
ignated for consumption in the
elise northern states where the ne
gro vote was thought to be of i'm
portance. If the republicans in
congress would really attempt ser
iously to carry along this line I
should be the most surprised man
on earth.
THE plan has no popularity
among the more thoughtful and
unbiased men ofthe northern states
and its attempted execution would
bring the republican party degree
of unpopularity in its own strong.
holds, for which no loss it could in
fict on the south would compensate
in any way.
At any rate, there would be no
time for the carrying out of the
plan Of reduction at the short ses-
sion of congress. There will be
too many matters seriously de-
manding attention-too many that
of necessity must be left over until
the next session-to leave the pur
suit of this phantom within the do
main of present probabilities.
"Of course, l may be mistaken.
1t may be the republicans will as
tonish me by an actual effort, made
in congress, to reduce the repre-
sentation of the southern states; if
they do, 1 am free to say, shall be
very much astonished indeed.
Representative Clay ton said:
"If 1 were a republican I feel
sure would not think l was called
on to revise the tariff. The Re
publicans were victorious in the No
vember elections on the policy Of
stand pat and that being the case,
I cannot see why they feel called
upon to change the tariff.
So far as the coming session is
concerned, I do not expect thatany
thing beside the appropriation bills
will be passed. l do not believe
anything will be done about the re-
apportionment of the southern rep.
.resentation in congress beyond the
possible appointment Of a commit
tee to inquire into the condition. / \
have no fear of the republican ma
jority undertakingany reapportion-
ment. If they have areapportion-
ment for the south they will have
to have it in the north and west /
In Massachusetts where there are
very considerable restrictions, and
in California, where the very large
Chinese population is without vote
by federal restriction, the reduction /
Of representation would work effec- I
lively under any law that could ap- 4
ply to any Of the southern states.
Then, again, the restriction of (
the representation Of the southern
states would mean giving the ap- 4
proval Of congress to an elimina- /,
ton Of the vote Of the negro peo- \
pie, and would prove that policy. I
do not think the majority is likely

The American Federation OF
Labor. wisely reelected President
Gompers and thus again sat down
on the socialistic element in the or
ganization. Socialism contains
many high ideals that are harmless
as long as there is no effort to mix
them up with practical policies.
The Federation Of Labor is work
ing along practical lines for the
improvement Of labor conditions
and the thinking men in it are not
going to be misled by any of the
socialistic fallacies.

CHANGE ON THE TIMES
Howbert BiIIman Succeeds J. S. Spareo AZ
ManaqInq Editor.

A change in the editorial management
Of the Minneapolis Times was effected to-
day. Howbert Bilman, a veteran news
paper man. until. recently news editor OF
the New York Daily News. succeeds John
S. Spargo as managing editor.
Mr.. Spargo. whose career In the news
paper business includes responsible ser
vice with the old Chicago Record, Times
Herald Tribune and American, the World
and the Hearst papers in New York and
the Globe Democrat and the Republic in
St. Louis, has been managing editor Of
the Times for two and half years, and
has now retired from the business to de-
vote his time to the Public Service club,
Of which he is one Of the incorporators.
Mr.. Billman, who is native Of Ohio
and a member of the Yale class Of '92,
began his newspaper career as dramatic
editor of the Record, and was later with
the Tribune in Chicago. He was with
Schley off Santiago and at Guantanamo
In the capacity Of correspondent, and ac
companed General Lawton to Ell Caney.
After the war, Mr.. Billman was with the
Associated Press in the capacity of a
war correspondent. Since holding that
position he has founded the Evening
Press now the News and Press Of ST.
Joseph, No. and has been with the New
York Daily News, to which he was called
by Frank A. Munsey. His standing in
the profession is exceptional.
The Minneapolis journal., 1904-04-15
Minneapolis in Congress.

Mr.. Nye's decision not to be a can
didate for congress leaves only two
aspirants for that office in the field
Mr.. Lind, who is expected to be a can
didate for reelection, and Mr.. Fletch-,
er, who has announced his desire to
try conclusions again with the present
representative.
If the republicans Of this district
are willing to go into the campaign
again with Mr.. Lind and Mr.. Fletcher
as the contestants they can doubtless
have the opportunity. If they are not,
the time seems to be right for some
careful consideration Of the situation.
Under our primary law anybody can
be a candidate for anything up to the
rank of congressman If he has mind
to file his declaration and pay the fee
for recording it. We shall probably
have Mr.. Fletcher and may have other
candidates for congress on the re-
publican primary ticket. This matter
can be allowed to drift along with re-
suits hazardous to republican success,
or it can be taken in hand by a num-
ber Of representative republicans and
shaped In the interest Of the party and
the district. The opportunity to do the
shaping Is better just now than it may
be a month or two months hence.
The Journal has no sugges-
tions to make with regard to a candi-
date, but it is impressed with the idea
that 1t is high time for the repub-
licans of this district to send to Wash
ington a man who is qualified to rep
resent the interests of this district ef-
fectively from the republican stand
point and one who shall take rank
there among the influential and
achieving members of that body. We
know this view Of the matter is enter
tanned by many republicans and hope
that it may be found practicable tc
get together on the right man. we
do not believe, however, that that mar
Is coming into the race unless the in
itiative be taken, the way prepared ant
the support assured by the substantial
republicans Of the district.

New State Constitution.

The urgent need of a new state con-
stitution was emphasized by Senator
A. o. Eberhart of Mankato, in an able
address recently delivered before the
Social Science club Of that city. He
called particular attention . to the
great mass of trivial legislation that
burdens our statute books, and es
pecially to the so-called general laws
artfully drawn so as to apply only to
certain counties or cities. This evil
Is partly due to the constitutional
provision which prohibits special
legislation, and partly to a narrow
idea of legislative functions, which is
possessed by too many of our senators
and representatives.
AS Senator Eberhart says 1--WE
need legislatures with sufficient moral
courage to refuse the introduction and
support of measures calculated to
benefit few at the expense of the
many, even if the few benefited con-
stitute a political working majority in
any legislative district
This log rolling in behalf of con-
stiuency is feature often deplored
In our national congress, and it is
not to be wondered at that legislatures
catch the infectious example. 1t is
! hard for a member to refuse the re-
5 quest of a neighbor to pass "just one
little BILL" which will not hurt any
one and will benefit several people.
1t is hard for other members to re-
fuse support to such bill, when they
have their own pockets stuffed with
similar fodder. So half the time OF
the houses and the committees is
taken up with petty bills, of which a
very few are necessary. Yet there is
urgent need for some one to scrutinize
every such measure for fear of the
elusive "woodchuck."
The experience of our state since
abolishing special legislation has beer
that the prohibition does not prohibit
and there is merit in the contention
that certain kinds of necessary specia
legislation might as well be permitted
outright. as in New York. Our cite.

The Probable Democratic Leader

Judge Alton B. Parker will probably
be nominated for the presidency
Personally there seems to be nothing
Objectionable about Judge Parker. He
will be defeated just as surely as he is
nominated, but all true Americans
desire to see in their presidential
candidates, of whatever party, men
personally worthy to hold the highest
office in the United States, and per-
haps the most responsible office in the
world. From the sketches of Judge
Parker which have appeared from
time to time in both republican and
democratic PAPERS, it appears that he
| is a good type of American. He is
credited with integrity, natural ability,
and great capacity for work. He is
man of wide reading and varied
culture, good lawyer, an eminent
jurist.
!, Tho Judge Parker is different
type of man from President Roose-
welt, there are points of similarity
Both have led simple, hard-working
lives, and both believe in vigorous ex-
ercise as means Of keeping In con-
dition for hard work. Horseback rid
ing is the judges fayorite recreation
and winter or summer he takes a
brisk gallop before breakfast.
In these times when SO much inter
