AN ERROR OF TASTE.

President Roosevelt is not to blames
because his remarks at Gettysburg on
Memorial day will be compared to
their great disadvantage with those
delivered forty-one years before on the
same spot by Abraham Lincoln. The
contrast is insisted upon by the anal
ogies of the time and the place. What
the president should have done was to
have avoided it by declining an invi-
tation which good judgment and good
taste would never have extended.
Once in a century or SO something
is done so exquisite, so inspired, so
complete and perfect and finished,
that it must stand Incompatible in it's
beauty for all time. Attempts to i'm
prove or to equal it can only react
upon themselves in palpable absurd
ity. All comparisons are made odious
by the unapproachabie fitness of the
one everlasting model The proper
human tribute and the only adequate
human treatment is to leave this in
its isolation for present and future
worship.
Such, for example, was the farewell
address of Washington to his people
Such, prominently, was the address
made by President Lincoln at Gettys-
burg. Every American ought to know
this by heart, as so many of them do. III
thought, in feeling and in mode of ex-
preston it is Incompatible. No man
can add or take away a letter with
cut marring it. we should as soon
think of planting a grove of other
monuments around one stately shaft
that some great artist had designed as
to repeat upon similar occasions the
effort to do what Lincoln did once and
for ALL
1t will always be abominable taste
to ask any man to speak at Gettysburg
on Memorial day. It win always be
abominably bad taste for any man to
consent. Washingtons birthday every
where should be observed by the read
ing Of the farewell address as its cen
trail feature. The Memorial day exer-
cises at Gettysburg should be grouped
around the reading of Lincoln's inn
mortal words as the only address of
the day. We are still deplorably weak
in the matter of good taste in cele-
brating most of our public occasions.

Contemporary Comment



But that Cummins should have been

something of surprise. Here was q

PEELED to capitulate and pass out Of

What the Editors Say

There is absolutely no reason why
the Republican party should hold q
national convention this year. The
Roosevelt machine has cinched the
presidential nomination and will take
any old thing for second place who
will accept it. The trusts have al
ready written and adopted the plat
form, and what's the use of having 8
convention to ratify it?-St. James
Journal.
Newspapers worrying over the ques-
ton whether a promise Of marriage
made on Sunday is binding should re-
member that a contract made on Sun
day is as good as one made on any
other day. It is when the perform
ance of the contract is set for Sunday
that it is sometimes void. There should
be no cloud on Sunday proposals. They
are all right.-Grand Forks Courier.
Loren Fletcher, the old man. of the
sea, who has been astride the neck of
the Republican party of Hennepin
county for many years, has again de-
clared himself candidate for the con-
gressional nomination. He will prob
ably land it, but the only result he is
likely to accomplish is the loss of his
district to his party for another two

TOO SENSITIVE.

The superstition that the mayor OF
Baltimore committed suicide on ac-
count of bitter criticism directed
against him will renew discussion Of
the acrimony inseparable from Ameri-
can politics. 1t is certainly true that
every man who accepts public place
offers himself a target for all kinds Of
faultfnding and abuse. He must pre-
pare to have all his acts scrutinized
with a lnagnifying glass, not for the
purpose of honestly discovering his
motive or judging his methods, but in
order to learn whether they are sus-
ceptible of some misinterpretation
that will work to his disadvantage.
This is one of the measures supposed
to be admissible in political warfare.
Undoubtedly this habit of indis-
eliminate criticism, and particularly
this endeavor to make political capital
by fastening upon man alleged poll
ed Of, is cruel and criminal. Human
nature being what it is, we cannot,
however, get rid of it. 1t is only the
prominence of the victim that intensi-
fies the practice which runs all
through our business and social life.
Envy, hatred, malice and all unchari-
tableness belonging as they still do to
human nature, it is inevitable that
they should find vent by the search for
discovery Of flaws in our neighbour.
Unchristian as the practice undoubt-
edly is, it will not be satisfied with
either tears or blood until the whole
level of human nature has been raised.
The practical moral Of so terrible an
affair as the death of Mayor McLane
seems to be that the man who goes
into public life should, as a condition
precedent determine to take no note
of criticism beyond what his own con-
science offers. He Is bound to be
abused and maligned and misreprc-
scented. If he cannot bear that treat
ment with equanimity, let him refrain
from public affairs. 1t need not be
only the callous or the constituencies
who can stand the test. Infinitely bet
ter is it for man to cultivate strength
enough to be Indifferent to whatever
is unfair.
If he can analyze the charges of his
! enemies, dismiss with a smile all that
is fictitious or illogical, and search
only for those accusations in which his
own heart tells him there is grain of
truth, he may combine public success
with private happiness. For the too
sensitive man, public life is as unfit an
| occupation as contending for the
| championship in hurdle races would be
for a man with defective heart action.

QUITE ACCUSTOMED TO IT.


Very interesting is the announce
ment that the federal government viii
assume control of all wireless telegra-
ply as operated from the coasts of the
United States. Private stations are to
be prohibited, and wireless messages
sent and received only by government
agents. Business will be done for pri-
yate parties at reasonable rates.
The interesting fact which We note
about this is not the policy outlined,
with which we cannot say that we
have any special quarrel, but the an
nouncement that it has been so deter
mined by the president and the Sec
rotary of the navy. "The navy de-
partment has decided" it is announced
from Washington to do so and so. 1t
is not supposed that there will be any
trouble about this. The thing will be
done first and then congress, when it
meets, will be asked to approve legis-
1ation legalizing what the executive
department has already accomplished
This is the new order of things
This is the current and accepted meth
Cd of disposing of all public questions
This is the change which less than
four years have wrought in American
methods. 1t used to be, it has been
even under the most headstrong and
arbitrary of men from the foundation
Of the government down, that the
president and his advisers determined
upon some policy, which they then
laid before congress. They would, if
necessary, use all their influence and
bring all the pressure at their COM
mand to bear upon the lawmakers 10
carry out their views Sometimes in
this effort they overstepped the
bounds Of executive prerogative. but
no one of them ever dreamed of doing
the thing he wanted to do until it had
been authorized by law.
President Roosevelt has shown us
more masterful way. He does the
thing that he wants to do first, and
asks congressional sanction after
ward. He is not disturbed by trifle
like the non-existence of a law; and
finds it, as all men of his disposition
in all times and countries have done.
much more convenient and conforta-
BILE to follow out his own will and LET
the people trail along after. Case
after case has now arisen in which
the president has acted thus. He has
imposed, simply by arbitrary and
uSurping action, his will upon the
country, and has asked congress to
confer proper authority afterward or
has gone comfortably along without
any authority at all.
1t is easy for our people to look
upon these matters too lightly. feeling
as they do the tremendous reserve
power which they can exercise should
they choose. No one doubts that.
whenever the American people rise in
their wrath, the most ambitious ana
iron will would bend before them. The.
truth is that they are being habituated
to a new order Of things for them
selves. The vice of the American is
that he will not take the trouble to
maintain his own institutions. He
prefers, as We have SO often seen. bad
government to the labor i.ident 10

have things done, and prefers to busy
himself about making dollars if some
