SWALLOWED BY THE FLUTES

There is turbulence a-plenty over Parker's plat
form planks,
There is trouble and confusion in the democratic
z ranks. ........ .--~z=
Now the man of wealth and fashion is the only
one it suits
Since the democratic party has been swallowed
by the plutes
It is such little season since the people took
right hold,
And denounced the crown of mammon and the
heavy cross Of gold
William Bryan their idol, silver coinage was
And they clung to Harvey's logic like bulldog
to rope.
oh. the wisdom that was scattered with extrava-
gance and haste.
oh, the beauty and profusion Of the words that
b went to waste.
Statesmen camped on every corner to engage in
grave disputes
Now the democratic party has been swallowed up
by plutes.
Where today will someone tell me, may the pec-
pie look for rest?
Who will promise to deliver the downtrodden and
oppressed?
Whence, o tell me, may I gather hope for bes-
ter things to come?
Shall we swallow Uncle Swallow Might Tom
Tibbles help us some?
o, the night is very lengthy and the day comes
not apace.
And the strength Of man is falling in the all
unequal race;
We must crook the pregnant hinges to aristo-
cratic brutes,
Since the democratic party has been swallowed
by the plutes

FRIDAY Evening,

people opens the door Of opportunity
to very many who are eager for Just
the guidance and direction in their
study which is here provided, and the
new movement will doubtless be greet
ed with great pleasure on the part
of very many. Benjamin Franklin and
Abraham Lincoln may be considered as
the patron saints Of the home-study
fraternity How they would have re-
ioiced at the advantages for intelli-
gent guidance in their study which such
an institution as the correspondence
school would have afforded! And yet
there are many in these days who are
just as hungry for knowledge and just
as anxious to be wisely directed in their
study.
This new department has the hearty
Endorsement Of educators thruout the
entire state, as well as the precedent
of successful operation in connection
with the University of Chicago.

died recently, leaving quite a fortune
At the funeral today thirteen people were

After the old man had been laid away
and while members of the funeral party
were standing around the grave a son
stepped forward and said that those at
tending the funeral had been compelled
to leave their work, and as he did not
want them to suffer pecuniary loss he in
tended paying them for half days time.
He gave crisp dollar bills to each. Not
one of the mourners refused the money.

Money Requirements in the West.

Eastern financiers may find it neces-
sary to revise their former estimates
as to the amount Of money the west
will need this season to move the crops.
It begins to look as if the requirements
will be larger than has been generally
supposed. -
Every year just before crop-moving
time there is usually much talk going
around of the financial Independence Of
the west. This originates in the west,
which prides itself upon its ability to
handle it's heavy financial affairs indie
pendently. Nevertheless, it is usually
found that before the crop movement
has been under way for long, money is
moving westward from New York in
large volume.
This year the west has not set up such
a strong claim to financial independ-
ence, but instead there has been some
talk in the east to the effect that the
west would need less money because
of the crop losses. ~: z..
Basing the calculation upon the his
tory of the money market in the past,
it has been figured out that the west
would need $35,000000 Of New York
money this fall. AS the last report of
the New York banks showed over $780,
100000 carried as surplus. there would
appear to be an unusually easy money
situation for this time Of year, and
much leeway for the western with
drawals, without taxing the resources
of the banks proper. The money de-
1nand does not como suddenly, but in
creases gradually to high point once it
starts; hence there is situation easy
for the eastern banks to meet. All Of
which is based upon the assumption that
the western requirements will be no
heavier than above stated.
! More recently it has begun to appear
that high prices for grain are being
maintained much better than was sup
posed would be the case, and that this
factor must be taken into account.
| A large grain movement is on, for
it is natural that the higher prices
should appear attractive to the country
The northwest movement is now heavier
all around than at this time last year
This, with higher prices, raised the Min
neapolis bank clearings last week to
$40 ,067 ,416.35, against $15,O23,074.7 in

Misrepresentation by Direct Nom.
nation.

Is the primary election system going
to result in Misrepresentation Is it
possible that the voters will choose di-
rectly candidates who do not represent
their principles, as well as candidates
chosen by indirect nominations
Consider Representative McCleary's
astounding victory in the second con-
gressional district The only sort OF
tariff revision Mr.. McCleary believes in
is revision upwards. Now there can
not be the least doubt in the world that
at least rs per cent of the republicans
of his district believe in revision down
ward, and with a decided dip at that.
Mr.. McCleary made no concealment OF
his views. He was hatfooted in their
announcement. He delayed the Con-
gressional Record while he loaded 1t up
with high tariff speech, that would
have made the pinchbeck iewelry trust
red in the face, had it issued the same
document. Then he raced around his
district, hot with anger at his revision
ist opponent, and literally "rubbed it
in.'
Mr.. Miller was equally frank and en-
phatic in favor of tariff reform and re-
vision downward. He is an able man,
of excellent material for congress. His
views were those of the people Of his
district. Yet there was almost a
stampede at the polls to vote for Nc
Cleary. Why? Because the people Of
the district knew Mr.. McCleary, be-
cause he has been an active and eft
fcient congressman, because some
twelve years lin congress has advertised
him far and near. In other words, the
people of the second district sacrificed
their political views in a political cam
paign for the personal benefit of man
whom they knew and liked. This is
loyalty of pleasing intensity, but it Is
not good politics.
We confess, ourselves, to certain
| satisfaction in seeing Minnesota repre-
sented in congress by veteran members
session after session, but the deliberate
election of such a reactionary as Mr.
McCleary is a symptom of condition
in the republican party which means
disaster in the near future. IT repub
lican voters do not choose men for lead
ers who represent their principles the
time will come when a small, but
thoughtful minority will 90 over to the
opposition, and work such a revolution
that democrat may even yet represent
the second Minnesota district in con
gress. This year, the voters of the sec
ond, will doubtless wisely conclude thai
it is better to be misrepresented by {
republican than represented by demo
crat, but some other year it may b'
different.

University Correspondence School

Tho object of the state university is
to promote the cause Of education
among all the people. Necessarily, it
must have center Of operations where
it's various departments of instruction
must be grouped together for the pur-
pose of efficient management and con-
venience in their work. To this center
Of university activity students come by
the thousands each year.
But there are other thousands who
would gladly avail themselves of the
advantages of the university as far as
possible who are not able to present
themselves in it's classrooms-young
men and young women who are eager
for knowledge, willing to devote their
time and apply their mental energies
to faithful and diligent study, who are
so situated that they cannot live with
in daily reach of the halls Of the uni
versity. Something has been done for
such thru the regular work Of univer-
sity extension, which sends lecturers
out into the country to instruct those
who are eager for knowledge along
special lines.
Another form of university extern
sion work which goes further and is
calculated to accomplish more, is that
done by what is known as the CORE
spondence school. The demand for in
struction in that way, just as in the
case of education in the forms of bust
ness, has led to the establishment of
correspondence schools as private en-
terprises for personal gain. Some Of
these have. done excellent work, but
the service they render is one. which
the public has a right to expect of it's
educational institutions, and particu-
larly such institutions as our Mime
sofa state university.
There has been organized in connec-
tion with the state university cor
respondence school under the manage
ment of Professor David L. -Kiehle. 1t
is known as the department Of home
study and correspondence, and is pre-
pared now to take up this work. AL
most anybody eager for an education
can read and study at leisure, but few
know how to direct their study and
reading to the best advantage This
is the particular service which the uni
versity correspondence department IN
dertakes to render to people who are
engaged in teaching or professional
work or are otherwise occupied, and for
their benefit upwards of fifty collegiate
and academic courses have been ar
ranged under the direction Of UNIVERSE
ty and normal-school instructors of the
state. The department is affiliated,
thru the Minnesota summer school, with
the entire school system, by which stu
dents may gain standings in the schools
or as candidates for certificates as
teachers. A fee Of $40 is charged for
each course, the different courses GOV.
ering the departments of commercial
education, drawing, economics, geogra-
ply and geology, history, languages and
literature, mathematics, psychology, ed.
ucation, etc. In this way students may
also prepare for college or for the pro-
fession of teaching.
This extension of the facilities Of the
university to the very homes Of the

OnninOus.

There is something ominous in, the
way the voters are ignoring party lines
in state elections just now. There is
Folk of Missouri sure of big repub-
lican vote, not because the republican
candidate for governor is not good
man and deserving candidate, but
because the good people of Missouri
generally, regardless of politics, feel
that it is their duty to make the in
dorsement of Folk just as emphatic as
possible, because to indorse Folk is to
condemn boodleism in politics. Then
there is the Arkansas situation, where
the case is reversed and thousands Of
independent, self-respecting democrats
either refused to vote ut all on COVER
nor or voted for the republican candi-
date, with the result that the swash-
buckler Davis total was cut down
$4,000 votes. .
Another situation even more inter
esting is reported from Washington,
where it is agreed by both democrats
and republicans that there will be a
heavy falling off in the republican
vote for governor, because the candi-
date is believed to be the special repre-
sentative of the Great Northern rail
road. The republican disaffection is so
strong, and the protest against the
methods employed to secure the nomi-
nation is so fierce, that the indications
are the republicans will lose the office
of governor while carrying the state
for Roosevelt by a big majority.
