A Republican Result.

Analysis of the election result only
emphasizes the republican revolt in this
state. The Pioneer Press today con
tributes some interesting data along
this line, comparing the vote on COVER
nor with the vote for mayor in the city
Of st. Paul last spring. ..
The fourth ward Of st. Paul, which
I Is located down town and is normally
democratic, gave Mayor Smith plu-
rality Of zoos last spring. This fall
johnson carried the ward by only 149.
In the fifth ward a plurality Of 944
for Smith dropped off to "a for John
son. The eighth ward, another demo-
cratic stronghold, gave Smith S06 and
johnson only So. In. contrast with
these come the two strong republican
wards of the city. Both wards went
last spring for Wright, republican, by
a total Of 522. At the late election
johnson got $50 plurality in the first
and 149 in the seventh. In short, Dunn
gained in the democratic wards and lost
in the republican wards of st. Paul. 4

credit for the election of Johnson. They
evidence something else, however. They

port given to Dunn, his defeat would
have been more pronounced and over
whelming. Had the solid democratic
strength gone to Johnson he would
have been elected by over 10000.

Solving the Race Question.

TIL Q Jou has signed state
ment from Booker T. Washington, prin-
cipal Of the Tuskegee institute, which
tells some interesting facts with regard
to that exceedingly useful institution.
The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial
institute has been in existence twenty
three years. During that time, counting
those who have finished the full course,
together with the much larger number
who have taken a partial course, but
who have remained long enough to get
the spirit and methods of the institu-
ton, there have been sent out 5000
men and women who are doing effective
work, mainly in the south, as teachers
both in the schoolroom and of the in
dustries, as mechanics, and in domestic
work. The pupils Of this school are
in demand before they graduate, and a
large portion Of them are employed by
southern white people, with an average
daily wage nearly three times as great
as that paid to the ordinary unframed
colored man or woman.
This institution has certainly proven
it's right to exist and has established
| it's claim upon the public. It is today
the most potent factor in this country IN
the adjustment Of the troublesome and
delicate race question in the south.
Mr.. Washington mentions three ur
gent needs of the institution, the sup
plying Of which will greatly enhance
its usefulness. It appears that the an

governor and democratic ON mayor. The
total vote Of the eleven precincts on
governor was: Dunn, 1,157; johnson,
S32. On mayor the vote stood: Jones.
.s7l; Haynes, 1908.
Outside the cities the same story is
repeated. Nearly every county where
Dunn gained on the 1900 vote is demo-
cratic. Dakota county, which Lind
carried by 723 four years ago, gave
Johnson only It's this time. Pine coun-
ty was changed from 149 for Lind to
plurality of 81 for Dunn, and Trav-
erse from 1854 for Lind to 81 for Dunn.
The independent republicans of Min
nesota elected John A. Johnson. Mr.
Dunn and his managers have to thank
their democratic supporters that he was
not defeated by larger vote than that
cast against him-an obligation by the
way, which Mr.. Dunn acknowledges il

TEARS

There is a river, ordained to run
Where never the slow kline feed,
Where never the warbler builds her home,
By vale or forest or mead.
Barren and sullen and black It creeps,
Bearing no boat nor barge;
Nothing is fashioned within its deeps,
Nothing along Its marge.
Never the city 1t leaps to lave.
Never o'erbrims its sides
To moisten the meadow; across Its wave
Never the swallow g1ides.
Flowerless glimmers its pallid edge,
Treeless shimmers Its sheen;
Never Its shadows are set with sedge,
Never with PUSHES green.
Salt from Its birth In the marsh Of wrong,
Bitter with tribute ril1s,
4 Its home is not in the sea, Its song
Is not of the pure, blue hills.
Shrouded In mist, II makes its moan
OF the burden Of mortal years,
s Like the cry Of q child In the night, alone;
And men have called itstears.

In a novel just written by Thomas E.
Watson, late populist candidate, he tells
what he thinks Of formal dinner:
.It has happened to me several times In
my life to be arrested, convicted and SEN
fenced to dine with other we'll dressed
convicts, male and female, at swell
dinner--one Of those formal functions
where solemn hunkies bring you one
thing only to eat at time. When you
have pecked awhile at that one thing,
whatever it may be, solemn funkies take
1t away and bring you another plate and
some other thing to peck at awhile
It is often true that the early part of
a mans life is spent in trying to get to
these sad functions and the latter part OF
his life Is spent in making excuses to
keep away.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
Democracy and Socialism.

To the Editor Of the Journal
An editorial in your Mondays issue ex-
pressed the view that Bryan and his
followers were SO nearly in sympathy
with sthe socialists that fusion Of both in
support Of the socialistic program Of
Debs would be a natural result Of present
tendencies.
On the contrary, it seems to me that
the only points Of contact, between the
Bryan democracy and the socialists lis in
the hatred of plutocracy and the desire
for the public ownership Of the natural
monopolies. Otherwise the divergence is
worldwide. Natural democracy, with
equal rights for all, would afford the
greatest possible opportunities for the de-
velopment of the physical, mental and
moral qualities Of the race. Socialism, on
the other hand, seems an unnatural,
wholly artificial and largely visionary
scheme for levelfng UP the shiftless and
lazy and incompetent, and leveling down
the thrifty and energetic and competent.
Cooperation is natural with intelligent
men and necessary In a civilized commu-
nifty, but the individual ownership of the
fruits Of labor Is the natural demand of
every intelligent man. The desirability
in a highly civilized community Of the
joint ownership of some of the saved-up
fruits of labor In the form of tools Of pro-
duction, does not change that primary
fact. " f. -...t .
can see no other possible scientific
foundation for socialism than the as
sumed tendency towards the formation Of
oppressive combinations Of capital In the
shape of corporations and trusts. "A suffi
cient REPUTATION Of this argument is the
fact that such combinations can only be-
come oppressive when buttressed by
some monopoly or special privilege. In
other words, the tendency does not exist
in a normal state of the body polite. The
evil results in some trade, unions Of emf
forcing a dead level of wages and produce
ton, may fairly be taken. as an index Of
what might be expected under socialistic
conditions.
Progress demands strenuous effort, and
no system is worthy of commentator,
which makes it comparatively easy for
the unthrifty or the indolent to make a
living. Such persons deserve only that
consideration which is accorded them as
the victims of vicious inheritance and
environment but the natural rewards of
energy and thrift are legitimate, and I
fail to see how the time can ever come
when there will not be the better and the
worse, the richer and the poorer, until
the principles of democracy and Chr1sti-
anity shall have prevailed.
The true democrat, whatever the name
Of the party In which he finds himself,
desires freedom of opportunity for all le-
climate effort, and that can only be Sc
| cured thru free land and free trade.
Competition is q natural and necessary
condition to the evolutionary development
| of high-cl men or high-class social
conditions, but unless there is to be q
cleavage Of the race into pirates and pig
miles, competition must be free The true
democrat is an optimist and he will never
| be a socialist, until convinced of the i'm
| possibility Of an individualistic state
worthy Of respect.

HISTORY or ONE DAKOTA QUARTER
Canton Is. D1 News.

Canton Is. d. News.
The News knows Of a certain quarter
section of land in Lincoln county that was
proved up on in 1875 and was then
traded for wagon and an old span OF
mules, with which the discouraged settler
could leave the country, and as he trav-
eled he spread the report that this coun-
try was only fit for buffaloes and Indians.
That same quarter section Of land is to-
day worth SIS an acre. It has taken
Lincoln county less than thirty years to
be transformed from land SIT only for
buffaloes and Indians into the banner
county Of the state.
