Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble. because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
1t used TO be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly

A LAW OF TAXATION

1t is a law as old as taxation itself
that whenever you make the burdens
of the taxpayer too heavy you reduce
revenue. There is point in taxation
beyond which you cannot increase re-
ceipts, any more than a railroad could
fill it's treasury by boosting freight
charges skyward.. When load gets
heavier than the back will bear. 1t is
thrown off. Therefore a scientific ad.
justment of the tax rate and yalua-
ton to the public expenditure is the
most essential part of a study of tax
alton.
An interesting confirmation of this
view is found in the increased tax coll
lection and the readiness of pay
ment in st. Paul. County Treasurer
Metzderf estimates that 81 per cent of
taxes on 1903 assessments in Ramsey
county will be paid. This will be an
increase of per cent over last year,
and will break all records. It can
not be attributed to unusual prosper
ity, because the city was In good shape
year ago. as it is in good shape now.
The difference is due mostly to the de-
crease in the tax rate, and 1t is an en-
eouragement to the taxpayer. Every
man feels more cheerful, reader to
pay and actually Weather when he
sees tax bill less than it was the
year before.
Everyone at all familiar with the
study of taxation or of transportation
is familiar with the fact that a de-
crease in rate is frequently "a cause of
immediate increase in revenue. Com
graduating ourselves on the splendid
showing Of Ramsey county. for this
year, we might take lesson from the
facts noted Let the good work of
lowering the tax rate go on.

MATTER FOR GENERALIZATION

AS far as the workmen EMPLOYED at
South ST. Paul are concerned the
packing house strike is virtually over.
We do not mean that it has been def
initely Won or lost, but that the actual
battle will be determined elsewhere.
If Chicago declares the strike off. the
men will go back to work: and if Chi
cage does not do so,r the men will stay
out indefinitely, and either wait in
hope of. regaining their old places or
find other employment. In word.
there will be- no clash of forces at
South ST. Paul. andsresults there will
hang entirely upon Developments else
where.
1t is matter for great congratulation
to this community that dispute be-
tween labor andscapftal SO wide in its
scope and so passionate in the feel
ings evoked should have passed with
SO little Impairment of public order,
There has been high feeling of course.
s.Aiu 'AiSi { nos oSSd iiiOtt OF less inter-
ference with individual and property
rights, but South st. Paul has no acts
of outright violence to record. No
body has been killed. nobody has been
seriously injured, and for contest ex-
tending over some weeks in which
hundreds of men Were Involved the
record is clear. except for some petty
inffaetions of the law.
Credit for this admirable result is
due to both sides. The authorities OF
the union are to be commended in the
strongest terms for yielding to the re-
auirernents.of law. Had they insisted
upon maintaining a blockade, or given

their men the slightest encoura cement
to do so, the militia would have had to
be called out and disorder, rioting and
bloodshed must have followed. The
position taken by President Willis and
others has saved the situation from
such misfortune, and it is appreciated
by the public.
So, too, has the moderation and
good temper displayed at all times by
the employers and their representa-
tives helped the good result. They
waited for hot feelings to subside.
They did not at the first opportunity
demand the presence Of armed author
ity, but showed patience and good
temper and refrained from exciting
the opposition. To them, also, should
be given what praise is due. We feel
that the community is very fortunate
in having passed through such crisis
with SO little to regret, and we, mark
with special qualification the certain
decline of the idea that force can ever
be resorted to successfully in labor
controversy and the growing determi-
nation of the public and the unions
not to tolerate it.

ONE RULE FOR BOTH

The ST. Paul Dispatch says: ''T e
Globe thinks that the notification
ceremonial at Oyster Bay was all
empty one, filled with platitudes and
in bad taste. Wait until Judge Parker
is duly informed of his nomination in
a set speech full of platitudes andre
plies in like vein. What will be T h e
G l o b e's opinion then Of these .cere-
monials?"
G 10 b e's opinion was express
ed with reference to all such ceTe-
monials, and not those of any party or
any candidate. The article to which
its contemporary refers stated that it
would be more fitting in every way
either to omit entirely the meaning
less ceremony of notification, or to
have the candidate reply in half
dozen sentences Of thanks and a dec
laration that his views would be SET
forth formally in his letter of aceepfe4
ance. That is the general proposition,
applying to President Roosevelt and
Judge Parker, to Republican and
Democratic party alike. whoever
transgresses it makes mistake.
We do not know, but we think it
possible that Judge Parker will follow
precedent when the party committee
waits on him. We hope he will not.
1t would be in keeping with the char
acter of the man, his independence
and originality, if he simply met the
committee with handshake and some
such announcement as We have -indi-
Gated. But of one thing we may be
certain; although he may not discard
the ceremonials that are at all times
and in all places absurd, he is not liza
BILE to deliver himself over to pIati-
tudes. Unlike President Roosevelt, he
has shown himself a man not at all
anxious to pose before the country. or
to be heard on divers occasions unless
he has something to say; and then he
knows how and when to say it with
rarely effective force. We shall be
pleased to refer our contemporary 20
these opinions a little later, after the
Democratic notification committee has
visited Esopus.

Roosevelt Wants Root

The prospect @of a high-class Demo-
cratic gubernatorial candidate, like
Shepard or Jerome, Grout or Goodyear,
has alarmed President Roosevelt, and
ne has sent for Elihu Root to insist
that he run for governor, despite his
public refusal to be a candidate. Root
is the strongest Republican in sight for
the office, and Roosevelt realizes that
he is the only man likely to mend the
desperate chances of the party in this
state. We hope he will be nominated.
This will compel if further situation
were needed So to do. a strong Demo-
cratic nomination, and the people would
have good governor, whichever way
the election went. Both parties should
put their best men to the 'front.'. all
along the line. and so elevate twenti-.
eth century polities.-Troy Press
(Ind0
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-07-30
A SIGN OF THE TIMES

The refusal of Mr.. Root to stand as
candidate for governor of New York IS
the leading political event Of the
times. 1t falls like bombshell in the
camp of the Republicans. 1t is the
first advertisement to the country Of
the conviction to which informed Re-
publicans have come, that the effort to
carry New York for the Republican
party this year is hopeless. 1t is a
conviction of defeat in advance, and is
proportionately cheering and encour-
aging to Democrats everywhere.
Former Secretary Root was slated
for the governorship of New York
many months ago. He was the per-
sonal choice of President Roosevelt,
who has, as far as we know, never
changed his opinion. He was one Of
the very few men upon whom the
warning Republican factions of New
York could agree. He is undoubtedly
the strongest man who could be
named for the place. 1t was perfectly
understood that he should make the
race for governor this fall in aid Of
Mr.. Roesevelt,s campaign, and that in
return he should be considered in line
for the succession to Mr.. Roosevelt.
All this well matured and agreed upon
plan is now scattered to the Winds
The reason is perfectly obvious.
There is but one explanation. and that
lies right before our eyes. The Re-
publican managers have come to the
conclusion that New York state is
lost. Mr.. Root has no appetite for a
losing, battle, He still cherishes aspi-
rations for the presidency. He un-
doubtedly believes that he is next in
line for the nomination. He knows
that it would be fatal blow to his
ambition, that it would retire him
forever as possible presidential
candidate, if he were to run for gov
ernor of New York state and be de-
feated. His declination to run is suf-
ficient proof of what he thinks of the
situation.
The announcement Of this conclu-
sion is doubIy severe blow to the
Republican party. 1t deprives them Of
their strongest candidate, for neither
Republican nor Democrat will deny
that Mr.. Root would poll more votes in
New York state than any other man
who can be mentioned That loss is
bagatelle, however, compared with
the moral effect upon the voters not
| only of New York, but of other states,
of the; open confession by Republicans
| themselves that New York is lost to
them this year. 1t announces that the
first big gun fired in the national cam
paign has struck the mark. The Repub-
lican party has abandoned it's Port
Arthur. The next few months will
find the retreat that has now begun
changed into a rout We congratulate
good Democrats everywhere upon the
splendid outlook.
