What the Editors Say

The Democrats throughout Clay
county are beginning to get together
for an effective campaign and the re-
SUITS Will be more apparent as time
goes on and the campaign gets under
way. The recent convention held in
Clay county was the most enthusiastic
held for years and everyone attending
left with a determination to make their
work felt in their own immediate
neghborhood and we will be very
much surprised il the effects do not
become apparent in all parts of the
county-Moorhead Citizen.
John Lind was elected governor
honestly twice elected-practically
without the aid of any of the great
Twin City daily papers. In the COM
ing contest John A. Johnson will have
the sympathy, and in many cases the
active support, of five out of seven OF
the dailies of those cities. After cleo
ton we will be able to make another
estimate of the power of the metropol-
ftan press in molding public opinion

1t is humiliating to the American
people to see their chief executive
trimming his political sails to catch
the popular breezes. A president
should be free to perform all his du-

NOT A WHEEL TURNS
IN SIX WEEKS STRIKE
Textile Operatives Completely Tie Up
Plants at Fall River

FALL RIVER, Mass, Sept. 4.-With-
out concessions from either side., and
with no apparent prospect of settle
ment, the strike of nearly $4,000 tex
tile operatives today entered upon it's
seventh week. Since the second day
of the strike not wheel has turned
at any one of the factories against
which the strike was declared.
Frequent contributions are received
for the benefit of the. strikers, sboth
union and non-union. The exodus Of
operatives from the city continues,
many of the French Canadians re-
turning to their former homes in
Quebec, while others have left the
city in the hope of finding employment
at textile mills in other states.

THOSE BRIDGE PIERS

The G1ob has received a COM
munication from one of the excursion
lists who We're on board the endangered
barge on the night of the great storm,
calling upon the city authorities to
proceed with the removal of the Broad
way bridge piers. The point that he
makes seems to us to be very we'll
taken. He states that had the steamer
and the barge that were driven about
on the river that night blown against
one of these piers, 200 helpless and
terrified people would have lost their
lives. The incident, while unusual, is
sufficient to show the great public peril
attaching to the maintenance of these
distractions of navigation in the. river
channel.
The only difficulty about removal Of
these piers. as We understand it, is the
question of expense. No one assumes
that they will ever be put to practical
use. The project for a bridge at this
point across the river has long been
abandoned and is economically and
financially, and probably legally also,
impracticable. That the piers do not
constitute menace to safety in the
ordinary sense is true. The boats that
ply upon the river can avoid them with
ease, and they do not interfere with
business or pleasure. At the same time
it has been sufficiently demonstrated
that under certain circumstances tley
may be terrible menace to human
life. While st. Paul has no reason
ever to expect a repetition of it's late
experience, there are many other con-
ditions of storm and darkness and fog
and shifting currents in which the
presence of these piers in the river
might promote disaster.
We think that. while the city has
need to observe the most rigid econo-
my at the present time, while we have
huge bill of damages to foot and
expense of the removal of these piers
ought not to prevent the work from
being undertaken without delay. The
possibilities Of having them remain are
shown to be too dreadful to be invited.
We believe that after their lesson our
people will cheerfully contribute the
amount necessary to free the river
channel from obstruction, and the
minds Of all those who ever have occa-
sion to use it for business or pleasure
from an apprehension now proved to be
not unwarranted.

The Dinner Pail Not Full

This matter of the dinner pail is a
serious one. The pail is not full, the
cost OF making it SO being too great.
1t Is but partly filled, and in the case of
idle men who are crowding labor it is
sometimes empty. The Dingley law
has in some small measure shut out
the products of foreign cheap labor,
but neither it nor any other federal
law has shut out foreign cheap labor
itself. The truth about the tariff is
that 1T protects the few manufacturers
at the cost of the many millions of
consumers, and Labor Leader McCabe
is right in saying that the tariff has
been of no benefit whatever to the
workers of this country Philadelphia

The Social Equality Issue

The social equality issue made by
Theodore Roosevelt has been clearly
defined now. and the unmistakable con-
domination has been pronounced by the
acting presidents own people upon his
pro-negro policy. The first consid
cradle discussion of the issue in this
campaign SO clearly demonstrated the
unpopularity of Roosevelts position
that 1T is no violent assumption to
state now that he will find before the
campaign is half over that his negro
philism is cutting the life out of his
candidacy north. east and west, as well
as south.-Atlanta Journal.

afternoon The performance starts
with a dash and continues breezily to

The olio is made UP of some first rate
specialties. which are presented in the
following order: Bert Fuker, black

cellent limitations and reproduces all
sorts of sounds from a mosquito TO a

best comedy acrobatic act of the sea-

does a remarkable series of somer-
saults from the floor, and some head
diving that would appear to endanger
his neck. The New York Comedy Four
appearsin the same funny sketch of
last season. 1t is clever hit, crudely
drawn, in which a bullying husband
and an abused wife are contrasted with
thoroughly subjugated, henpecked
person and a belligerent better half.

personated by Addie ST. Alya and the
meek one is Well acted by Tiny Graft.

A POLITICAL MOVE

No one mistakes the purpose of rails
ing the question whether Aug. 81 or
Aug. so was legally the last day on
which under the law candidates could
file for nomination. If the point af-
fected one or more Republican candi-
dates seriously, nobody would peep.
Inasmuch as a reversal Of the attorney
generals opinion would be unfortunate
in the case of several strong Demo-
cratic candidates, the Republicans are
just now wonderful sticklers for the
letter of the law.
1t Is the general belief of well in
formed lawyers that if a case were to
come before the courts, the ruling of
the attorney generals Office would be
sustained. The courts incline properly
to a liberal construction of election
laws, to the end that the intent Of the
people be carried out without too great
regard for technicalities. They would
scarcely forbid a party to present can
di0dtCS dIlQCl q ItSlQ Vi d
clause that is directive rather than
mandatory. They would scarcely lend
themselves to so transparent a party
game
The moral Of the situation seems to
us to be in the way of warning to
candidates generally. There is really
no sense whatever in the procrastina-
ton that has settled into a custom 1t
cannot happen once in a thousand
times that there could be any good
reason why a prospective candidate
should put off the formal act of filing
for nomination until the eleventh or
the twelfth hour. All these matters
are arranged for and perfectly under
generally months in advance. The can
didate has been looking after his
fences, has been talking with his
friends and has definitely made up his
| mind whether or not he is going to
Postponement is regarded, foolishly
it appears to US, as a fine bit of by
play or precaution against accident.
| Some man wishes to wait to learn
whether a certain possible rival is going
to enter the field, or whether he will
have clear track. Another hesitates
until he can complete carefully
| planned series of preliminary arrange
| ments.- But there is nothing even in
| this policy to make twenty hours
Of the slightest Importance. Any one
intending to be candidate before the
people can just as well file on one day
as on the next. Every such candidate
ought to take no chances, and to es-
| tablish himself in an 1mpregnable po-
sition by filing not one but several days
| before the time limit applies. This
| ought to be rule for the future; and,
Las far as the present campaign is con-
,cerned, we doubt IL the discussion has
any other practical application what
ever.
