Paul Morton, the new secretary of
the navy, is evidently man after the
presidents own heart, who some time
ago declared himself in regard to the
army and navy as favoring the policy
of carrying a big stock" The new
secretary has scarcely got into his
seat. but he already declares himself
IN favor of the United States having
the most formidable navy in the world
IhlS is getting long ways from the
old time policy of this country, for 1t
means war on the slightest provoca-
ton and constant assertion of the
spirit of observation-disclosures Times.
The demand for campaign orators is
beginning to pick up, and a campaign
general has been telling what quaIifica-
tlons such orators should have. The
spellbinder, he thinks, should have
profoundly without obscurity, per-
spiculty without prolixity, ornament
without glare, terSeness without bar
renness, comprehension without di-
erosion, and great number Of other
things. Orators meeting of all these
requirements can secure good positions
during the fall by addressing the prop
er campaign headquarters. = Sioux

Of course, Judge Parker is bound to
be called the candidate of Wall street
and the trusts. The Republicans will
lind authority for this in the public ut
terances of w. j. Bryan and many
other prominent Democrats before,
during and after the st. Louis conven-
ton. And they will make the most Of
IL But the fact remains that as a
judge the Democratic candidate for
president has given the law as he found

law as he found it.-Duluth Herald.
A paper that will debauch its reports

We regret to say that there are several
such in Minnesota, but of those the ST.
Paul Pioneer Press furnishes the most
notorious example. From it's lofty sit

Let the trust take advantage of the
strike to put up the price of meat il it
will. We shall have healthier bodies
and clearer minds for it. The tendency
or higher prices is diminished con-
sumption. We all eat too much meat
any way. We are too se1f-indulgent to
deny ourselves until our doctors COM
nand it in our declining years, or until
We get a sharp admonition through the
pocket nerye.-Melrose Beacon.
There is talk in some quarters of an
independent Republican ticket being
put into the field. This would be
very unwise thing to do. The ticket as
it stands, with one exception, is
splendid one and could hardly be i'm

If Republicans can't stomach that, the
remedy is easy. Scratch! -Starbuck

The metropolitan daily papers used
nearly half column of space to tell
that President Roosevelt toyed with
the wood pile one day last week. We
know lots of men who cut their own
wood for exercise right along, but the
country weekly papers never deem it
of sufficient interest or value to put the
fact in print.-The Glenwood Press.
You will notice that his highness,
Teddy the First, is not indulging in

Should Democratic papers indulge in
the filings and innuendoes against Re-
publican candidates that some of their
own papers do, it would be called pret-
