value upon any end, according to the
work that must be done to reach it.
This makes the labor and the sacrifice

reward. The prize is the discipline and
all that is endured in reaching it. 1t is
the commonest experience to find those

make it a semi-sociar function or

impairs attention, and, in general,
places it in the list of amusements and

T. TENAcITY RixRY.

The celebrity with which his fellow
members of the Dawes commission
threw up their jobs when it was in
timated that they would have to choose
between their places on the commits
sion and their private enterprises in
the Indian Territory, must have anus
ed the Hon. Tams Bixby, of this state,
Immensely. Not for Tams the solitude
of the dense timber bordering Salt
Creek, for Tams is politician who
knows the value of a tenacious grip
when it comes to holding on to a good
thing. Having permitted the other
members of the Dawes commission to
sacrifice themselves in his interest, he
simply stood pat, and now he suggests
to the administration way out of the
difficulties into which it was thrown by
the inquisitive and talkative Mr..
Hitchcock. 1t is modestly suggested
on behalf of Tams that he, having
stood the fire of criticism, should be
made the whole commission.
And really, not being seized of more
than a human interest in the Indian,
and holding no hope that any other
than a more or less pernicious Repub-
lican politician would be given the job
in any event, we have no objection to
Tams. The job will keep him in the
territory and he will have to concen-
trate his attention upon the Indians.
He can't very we'll bring them up here
to vote, and that is worth considering.
He will be restrained by the limits of
time and distance from mixing things
at Bemidji if he is compelled to spend
his time and energy at Muskogee.
While he is giving the red men of the
territory object lessons in the art of
getting on in the world he cannot well
be melting the Republican Indian of
Merriam Park, Red Wing and Roseau
county to deeds of daring on election
day.

YOUTHFUL SPIRITS.

Two hundred young men are going
about the classic purlieus of Ann Ar
Dor with shaver polls, the result of a
senseless feud between classes at the
university. For four days these blithe-
some young chumps went about hazing
one another. Whenever a crowd of
sophomores met a solitary freshman
the unhappy young man lost his hair
and forthwith went out, gathered a
gang of his fellows, and shaved the
head of the first sophomore they laid
hands on. They put the BARRIERS out
of business and defied the college au-
thorities until one student was caught
in the act of hazing a fellow in the
library. The offender was marked for
the sacrifice, and within an hour the
war was over and hazing had ceased
The commemorate promptitude with
which the college authorities moved
when a culprit was discovered excuses
them in some measure for the dilatori-
ness with which they moved in the
matter. The single example they made
of the offender against college disci-
pine was singularly effective and
should serve to point the way to the
governors of other big schools.
The natural ebullition of youthful
spirits is something that cannot be
contended with. Indeed it is the bet
ter part of college and school discipline
to give those spirits play. But the in
humane and degrading practice of haz-
ing cannot but be demoralizing to the
college youth. There is already too
high standing given the possessors of
mere brute prowess in our schools. 1t
is well for boy to be strong, but it is
necessary that his strength be so guild
ed that it will make for the betterment
of his kind
Hazing must be put down in the
schools and colleges. 1t is the con-
crete expression of the tendency to
bullying among small boys. 1t must
be made very clear that expulsion and
prosecution will follow a student de-
tected in brutal practices, and the GUS
tom of hazing will presently become
disreputable and then disappear.

less pleasing ones that he concealed
his age, that he was ashamed and
strove to conceal his humble origin,
and that his discovery of new world
was due to blind luck rather than to
the consistent carrying out of a theory

But it would be interesting to know

they did not, for there are many in

! but it has revealed what many of them
died hoping to conceal. But it has ac-

ever a vindication has been necessary,
and perhaps those individuals whose

| scene of their earthly triumphs and
| judge for themselves what posterity
| has done for them.

National Taxation.

1t is true that our immense increase
of population, due largely to the influx
of millions who contribute but little
to the national treasury, has cut down
the per capita rate of taxation, but
there must be limit to our national
expenditures. We have undertaken to
devote hundreds of millions to an 18TH
milan canal. There is no probability
of a decrease in pensions for long
time We have no doubt that "a de-
mand for new taxation" would be trou-
blesome to the party in power; nor is
there any question that such de-
mand will come if we go on under the
impression that we must lead all the
powers in naval strength.-Washing

Southern SUFFRAGE Laws.

The Times-D Democrat denies the ex-
istence of any right to vote on the part
of negroes or any other color of men.
1t believes that Louisiana and other
Southern states have acted wisely in
limiting the privileges of suffrage. and
that they know what is best for their
interests and for the protection of gov
eminent. The suffrage laws of Louisi-
ana were made solely for this state, to
protect it against the political mis-
fortunes of the past, and they have
been found to work well and satisfac-
torily here, giving the suffrage to those,
and those only, whom experience has
found capable of utilizing this privilege
intelligently and in the interests of
good and decent government.-New Or

A pIsUNITEp PARTY.

The conditions under which the Re
publican party is going into the ma
tional campaign are calculated to make
disinterested men Of that political faith
to weep. The organization has fallen
upon evil days. Without a leader of
national reputation capable of re-
strhinfhg the ambitious and grasping
onesoin the state organizations chaos
reigns in the councils of the G. o. P.
andhfrom coast to coast there is dis
cord:
In New York there is much bitter
ness in the contention between the
factions led by Plat and Odell. In
order to protect his own fortunes in
the state Odell has been forced to bend
the knee to Tom Plat in national af-
fairs. He doesn't like it, but it had
to be done That he will revenge him
self when the time comes is not to be
doubted-and he expects the time will
be ripe when the national convention
meets, No power on earth can weld
the New York state Republicans into
single organization while Plat lives.
The Ohio organization was disrupted
before Hanna was cold in his grave.
Nothing is more certain than that the
Ohio fight will turn the state into the
Democratic column within very short
time probably at the next general
election. For Ohio Republicans fight
for office, not principle, and if one
crowd is beaten out in convention they
will be revenged at the polls.
In Illinois very much the same con-
ditions obtain. Yates, the present gov
ernor, is a candidate for renomina-
ton and is using the state "slush fund
in such fashion that the decent element
of the people will most assuredly turn
him down at the polls if he succeeds
in landing the nomination-which is
very likely to eventuate.
Gov. Cummins has recently had a
very narrow escape in Iowa. and he is
in a bitter frame of mind, though not
more bitter than are the men who are
determined to defeat him at whatever
cost to the party. The Democrats,
united, may easily redeem the state
from the spoilsmen who are now fight
ing for the pickings.
On the Pacific coast the conditions
are bad for Republican success. Am
bilious men, supporting fallacious doc
trines are trying to ride into Office.
In California the Republicans are hope
lessly split up and there is no chance
of their getting together.
Only in the South is the Republican
party united, and national delegates
will, as usual, be traded in punches.
AT the top of the heap today is
Theodore Roosevelt, a capable politi-
clan in the matter of shaping policies,
but incapable of organizing men. He
stands as the shield for all the con-
tending factions, but he has no per-
sonal following among the really
strong men. He would be thrown over
board in minute if any one of half a
dozen ambitious ones did not believe
that they would benefit some one of
their number by putting off the Roose-
welt mask.
Not for years have the conditions
in the Republican party so favored
Democratic success before the people.
Gorged with power and fat with money
filched from the people, the Republican
party of today is too busy fighting for
the privilege of continuing its work of
plumber through its present official
representatives to make good fight.

THE REVOLT OF MRS. BASS.

THE REVOLT or MRS. BASS.
Should some ingenious individual
devise a means of copyrighting per-
sonalities, the literary material" of
the land would probably breathe sigh
of relief The case of Mrs. Bass re-
veals the need of some such copyright
law. Until Alice Caldwell Hogan dis
the settlement known as "the patch"
somewhere in the vicinity OF Louisville,
was never failing source of amuse-.
ment and comfort to her humble
neighbors because of her cheerful con-
tentment and her infectious good hui
NOR. But Mrs. Bass represented ma
terial' and she was pounced upon by
Miss Hogan and thrust between the
covers of a book for the amusement
Of the reading public. Since then, if
we are to believe the tales that come
from ''the patch" Mrs. Bass has not
enjoyed a peaceful moment. Not con-
tent with the philosophy contained in
the book, the reading public has in
sisted on making pilgrimages to "the
patch" to obtain more from the foun-
tain head. And now, it is said, Rip
Van Wrinkles wife was an amiable
creature compared with Mrs. Bass in
her present frame of mind. The no.
toriety has ruined her disposition.
There are many people, however,
who have secretly rebelled at the per-
petual good nature of Mrs. Wigs, who
is also Mrs. Bass. 1t has occurred to
these that she was altogether too
cheerful for everyday use, that her
uplifting philosophy was more of an
irritant than comfort. Nothing ever
disturbed Mrs. Wigs of the book.
But it seems that her prototype, Mrs.
Bass, of Louisville, can be disturbed,
and those who found her very human
ness unhuman will doubtless rejoice.
