The proffer and support of such an.

the property and the custom of all
political parties and appears in all

form of attack. But no one dreams of

conditions attached to it's enforcement

abandoned
This was the act and attitude of Mr..
Johnson. A morning contemporary
says: Whether it was because he re-
scented the placing of the hospital for
the insane at st. Peter under the state
board of control and wished, by placing
the educational institutions Of the
state under its jurisdiction, to render
it so obnoxious as to insure it's ulti-

formed by Mr.. Johnson's statement.
We confess to a large sympathy with
those who have insisted that, if the
other institutions must be doomed to
bossism and the lust for power and pat

ton shall bear their share of the
curse. We think it probable that if

A BASE ATTACK

An attack that is founded on mis-
representation or falsehood, conscious
and malicious, well deserves the cpl
tibet base" Such is the description
of the assault on the Democratic can
didate for governor, in connection with
the establishment of the state board

prise to men who believe that truth
and fairness should prevail in political
as well as in private life, when the
news columns of our morning contem-.
poraries We're found embellished with
a story declaring him responsible for
placing the educational institutions un-
der the board of control, inasmuch as
no one connected with newspaper in

of the facts. 1t is a greater surprise

the people would permit it. Neither

"A New York magistrate has adj

Were called by less high sounding
titles-motormen or drivers, for in

temptuous of the rights of less exalted
citizens. Since the automobile has be-

but the public will probably refuse to
accept the Gotham magistrates theory
as correct one 1t is probable that
by any other name the chauffeur would
drive as recklessly. And magistrates
themselves are doing their best to heap
disgrace upon the name.
The chauffeur is really the scape-
goat who is compelled to expiate in
Jail the crimes of his employer. If at
the command of his master the ma
chine is run at high rate of speed
and is stopped by the police, it is the
chauffeur who languishes in jail. IL
the innocent are run down, it is the
chauffeur who is excoriated by the
press and the people. If the machine
blows up or gees over a cliff, it is the
chauffeur's remains that are picked up
in basket. If he is the important in
dividual in the auto, he pays the pen
atty for his prominence. It is absurd
to imagine that any special honor goes
with the name.
A man who is compelled to spend a
great deal of his time in Jail is not apt
to be a particularly conceited or
puffed-up individual. And since it has
become the fashion in the East to
substitute Jail sentence for fine. the
chauffeur's lot is anything but happy
one. 1t would not be remarkable if, in
the future, automobile owners were
compelled to insert some such adyer-

"our New Minister" at the Grand

A refreshing diversion is offered in
the pleasing pastoral comedy drama
ut the Grand this week. 1t is a quiet
and quaint bit of New England life, in
terpreted by a highly efficient company
of players. The piece was presented
here last season at another theater,
but the company is, for the most part,
the same, and what changes have been
made are for the better.
The plot of the play is very thin.
and in the second act is almost lost in
the verbiage of theological dispute. but
there is sufficient study of rural char
acter to hold the interest despite the
absence of strong plot.
One does not have to go as far as
New Hampshire to find the type OF
minister depicted in this play, though
it is to be hoped that a more extend
ed trip would be necessary to find
some Of the yulcanized christians" In
the piece. In Minneapolis there is
pastor whose creed is not unlike that
of Our New Minister" The latter's
belief is that healthy pastinle even on
Sunday does not lead direct or cir
cautiously to perdition. But those of
sthe hard SHELF and sanctimonious sect
roll their eyes and moan like bull
calves at his heresy. They do not
want to be deprived of their Sunday
sulphurics and their threats of dire
new minister looks kindly on an eX-
|. convict and offers him an uplifting
hand, and because he doesn't wear
the CLOTH the puritanical deacon and
the elders decree that he won't do.
But of course the humane minister
wins his cause and incidentally the
hand Of a charming girl.
The solemnity of the subject is
leavened with most diverting comedy
in the form of a slangy youth from
New York, the ''gum-shoe" sheriff and
other country characters.
That the piece is success is owing
to the clever company. The leading
character is colorless, but Ernest
Hastings as the new minister is capa-
bic and pleasing. The mainstay of the
play is the Characterization of the
country types.
Darius Startle, the sheriff, whose
acute cunning is SO unctuously por-
trayed by Joseph Conyers, was
source of continuous mirth to the audi
ence of last night. His makeup and
facial expressions are delicious. Curt
He'ten, whose religious opinions WAIVER
in the balance, but whose whole souled
and genial disposition is undoubted,
is a most convincing person as pre-
scented by John Barker. Obadiah Blur
ton, puritanical and consequently dis
agreeable, is consistently and force
fully played by Louis Fierce. The low
able postmaster and storekeeper Squire
Bartlette is an exquisite character
sketch by Fred Clarke ''Skeezicks,''
the slangy boy, by John p. Brown, and
M. H. Hartman as the ex-conyict, are
unusually good.
Miss Gertrude Perry, as the ex-con
vfcts daughter, displays a sweet per-
sonafity, wholly charming, and it is
a pleasure to commend her good work.
Alice W'&shburn contributes a splendid
study of HE sour-yisaged Dorcas Tat
tleby, wfoSe name and nature are
alike. In fact the whole company is
delightful.

1t is the alleged utterance of some inn

of straw whom President Roosevelt
delights to pummel. OF his own party,
its pledges, its policies for the future
and exactly what the people may ex-

palpable confession and admission of

ticular comment. They are but few,
because the bulk of it consists of end
less iteration of a form of words with
which the president is so vastly tickled
that he cannot get away from them.
He has constructed for himself this
beautiful dilemma: Should the Dem
ocrats come into power, they must
either follow Republican policies or re-
verse them. If the former, then they
are insincere and unworthy of conf
dence. If the latter, they will ruin the
country" And he is actually So pleased
with this crushing argument that he
makes it do duty endlessly in rounding
page after page. We think that for any
reader over twelve years of age the
statement OF it is sufficient.
As to particulars. Mr. Roosevelt is
wonderfully severe on Democrats who
have changed their opinions, or rather
had them changed by events. on the
money question. Such men, he thinks.

conscience They are not to be trusted.
Then he INDUCES in a lengthy pane

it might be, but as it is. What does he
think Of the Theodore Roosevelt of a

tariff must be revised Immediately and
suggested a commission for that pur-
