A. Thoro Job.

Governor Cummins Of Iowa took
his medicine to the last drop yester-
day. Not knowing what the platform
would be, but knowing that it was
sure to be against him and opposed
to the Iowa idea, the governor stood
up before g. convention dominated by
his opponents and declared that he
stood squareay in the middle of the
platform-no lettering on the edges
for him. .a-...
And when the surprise package was
opened, when the governor at last
looked at what he had taken in the
dark, he found himself committed to
what Is to his mind the last degree
of absurdity-that sham reciprocity
which plans to get American goods
into the markets Of other peoples
while keeping their goods out Of our
markets. "
Time and again Governor Cummins,
with that strength Of reasoning and
lucidity Of statement that character
lie him, has emphatically declared
that there Is no room for genuine
reciprocity except in competitive prod
ucts. The reciprocity the other crowd
has in mind Is the reciprocity that
arises from exchanging flour for ba-
nanas, reciprocity that it should be
quite beyond legislation to effect, be-
cause it Is the kind Of reciprocity that
tariff laws should never have any,
thing to do with. We do not raise
bananas in the United States, there
fore there should be no tariff on them;
there is no banana industry to pro-
tect. But now Governor Cummins
must stand for reciprocity plank
that substantially declares, to the great
amusement Of all thinking men, that
we will give foreigners a chance at
the American market if they have
something to sell that no American
thinks it worth while to make-pro-
vided the foreigners will open their
markets to our products regardless Of
what they may make at home.
The truth is that the gentlemen
who have overwhelmed Governor
Cummins do not care a fig for the
foreign market. But they do not care
to say 50 in SO many words. They
wish to throw a little sop to the peo-
pie who have been talking about the
necessity Of getting foreign markets,
but they have not, the remotest idea
Of doing anything that will promote
our foreign trade. Their whole eco
nomic horizon consists Of that SNUG
conservatism embodied in Mr.. Han.
mas "Stand pat" and LET we'll enough
alone" 1--WE are all right to-day
they say; 1--WE are prosperous; the
ship Of state glides smoothly over calm
waters; wherefore, let US. take ne
thought for the morrow" -aa
AS for Governor Cummins, he ha.
played the part the loyal party mar
should play. He swallows the part,
creed without grimace, and is there
by in a logical position gracefully tt
cram his doctrine down the other. fel
lows throat when his day at platform
making comes. Nevertheless, the gov
ernor has our sympathy-and needs it

THE NORTHWEST

Oh, would We hear, and would We hear
OF the windy wide Northwest?
Faith, It's land as green as the sea,
That rolls as far and rolls as free, T.
With drifts of flowers, so many there be,
Where the cattle roam and rest.
Oh, could We see, and could We see
The great gold skies SO clear,
The rivers that race thru the pfne.shade dark
The mountainous SHOWS that take no mark,
Sunlit and high on the Rockies stark,
So far they seem as near.
Then could We feel and could We feel
How fresh is Western night!
When the long land breezes rise and pass
And sigh in the rustling prairie grass,
When the dark blue skies are clear glass,
And the same old stars are bright.
But could ye know, and forever know
The world of the young Northwest!
A word she breathes to the true and bold
A word mfsknown to the false and cold
"A word that never was spoken or sold,
But the one that knows is blest.

WHY SHE DIDN'T WALK
Washington Post.

There is a little railroad down IN
southern Minnesota in district repre-
sented by one of my colleagues" said r.
Adam Bede of the Duluth district, now
regarded as one of the most entertain
ing raconteurs In the house. "This rail-
road Is a few miles long, with daily
mixed train that always gets to its des-
tination too late for a connection.
"A lady who was riding on this train
one day complained to the conductor that
the train was going too slow, and finally,
after many opportunities, asserted that
she could walk faster than the train was
going. .1
The conductor retorted by asking her
why she did not get off and walk.

people will not be looking for me until

MORMON MISSIONARIES

At least 100000 Mormon missionaries
are scattered turnout the world. In Eu-
rope they occasionally charter a vessel at
Rotterdam to bring over their converts,
supplying each with sufficient money to
meet the immigration requirements after
which converts must hand back the
amount to the missionaries accompany
ing them. If Smoot is dropped. no Nor
mon can enter the senate, because all
Mormons are subservient to the church
and all their actions are controlled by
that body.

Game In the Parks.

To the Editor of The Journal
Some days ago our warden, J. G. Will
lfams, arrested a man named Charles Will
cox,2 a. park officer, for illegal fishing IA
Lake Harriet The claim is made by, this
man, and 7 understand by the superin-
tendent of parks, that the game and fish
commission has no jurisdiction. Now, Mr..
Editor, this is very peculiar stand for
the park people to take, and I do not
believe the members Of the Minneapolis
park board want to be placed in the po-
sition Of shielding law-breakers. We have
been asked time and again to put fish in
Lake Harriet for the benefit Of the people
who go there to enjoy themselves, and
is the park board going to stand up and
say "You can put all the fish in there
but you must allow our men to fish in
any manner they want to- with set lines
and nets, and in any other illegal way o.
OF course, I believe that the law gives
US authority to make arrests, but I am
simply writing this letter in the interests
of the people of Minneapolis, who go out
to Harriet to fish, and ask the question:
| How do they like the position that the
park board is taking?"

The New South.

General N. M. Curtis Of New York
delivered last evening at Hartford,
Conn, at the thirty-fifth annual re-
union Of the Society of the Army Of
the Potomac, notable address. He
did not confine himself to a review Of
scenes which he and his comrades had
passed thru during the civil war, but
directed the attention Of his audience
to the causes of the war and the prac-
teal lessons taught by it, and its in
fluence upon the history Of the re-
public.
He contended that it was not slav-
cry alone, nor the tariff alone, nor
the disruption of political parties, nor
the sectional animosities aroused that
brought on the war, but it was that
vital difference between the north and
the south on the question of the SUI
premacy Of the union over the states
out of which grew all the other
mooted questions. 1t was this larger
question, comprehending all the
others, out Of which the conflict grew.
A peaceable separation was proposed,
but denied on the ground that ''the
union was indissoluble." And so, the
civil war was inevitable.
At the same time the tariff was
about the great clash of opinion and
the conflict of arms between the two
sections. AS long as the southern
states were more largely consumers
than producers, sympathy with tariffs
for protection Of domestic industries
was entirely lacking. Now, however,
| as he pointed out, the south is becon
ing more Of a. manufacturing center
than formerly, and the economic pref
erence for encouraging and stimulat-
ing home industry is beginning to per-
wade the minds Of the leading men Of
| the south, and In his view, it would
| be practically impossible for war to
| be waged again on the issues Of 1861,
or any similar ones. The people Of
all the states were welded thru the.
| furnace heat of civil war into one
composite nation. This welding pro-
cess taught the. great truth to the south
as well ELS to the north that our sys-
tenn Of state government for local,
and our system Of federal government
for interstate and International affairs,
is the strongest system yet devised for
a free people.
| General Curtis view Is strongly
supported by the attitude of leading
democrats, particularly the leader Of
the democratic minority in the house
of representatives. Mr.. Williams has
specifically disavowed adherence to
the theories of free trade. He has
confessed sympathy for the theory Of
preference for American industries in
our tariffs only insisting that that
l preference shall be reasonable and
moderate and fair to the consumer as
we'll as to the producer.
The ministerial development of the
south, to which General Curtis refers
is the explanation Of this present atti-
tude of the most progressive and per-
haps the most influential among the
! democrats. The race question dis
posed of and the people Of the south
privileged to express their real sen.
cy, it is by no means unreasonable tt
believe that the policies Of the repub.
lican party of protection, SOUND
money, Panama canal, and such ex
lpansion as has come to us thru unfore
seen circumstances, would receive the
a majority Of the southern people.

There is a rift in the lutte Of third

Wallace G. Nye as a favorite son of

.ANTI-HEARsT MOVEMENT
1t Is Beginning to Show Signs Of Life
Here

o.
The antt-Hearst political workers
of Hennepil county have at last
awakened to the necessity Of united
action against the Hearst supporters,
and from now on Is to be waged a
fight on the part of the Hearst men
for an instructed delegation, and Of
the anti-Hearst element for an unin-
structed delegation. Political gossip
has it that Michael Breslauer will have
charge Of the anti-Hearst campaign, in
Minneapolis, and that r.. G.. Winston
instructed delegates from this district
to the st. Louis convention. Those
opposed to Hearst assert they are not
tied to Judge Parker, but favor any
other good man who can demonstrate
that he has the confidence Of the
masses and is vote getter. From now
up to the primaries, June Z, it will be
q battle Of two organized hosts among
the democrats. ),

In these days Of trouble and stress for
place and power and in these nights Of
insomnia and nerves, there are few side
issues more restful or more pleasantly dt-
Vert1ng to tired brain than an active
interest in some branch of natural his
tory.
William T. Hornaday in the above SEN
tence from the preface to his The Anerl-
can Natural History (Charles Scribner's
Sons) has expressed "a truth which the
world has been slow in finding out. but
which 1t Is now rapidly accepting. Hav-
ing recognized the truth Mr.. Hornaday,
who is director of the New York Zoologi-
cal park, as well as a naturalist Of world
wide fame, and who has exceptional ia
cilities for the study of natural history
and has made excellent use of them, has
given to the world a book that will be
of great value to those already engrossed
in the study of animal life and at the
same time attract others to the study.
The book is one of the authors answers tc
the question, How can nature be made
available to the young?" It is particular
ly addressed to teachers and parents. The
author insists on system, but he says that,
While anatomy is necessary to the ad-
vanced student and while it is customary
to begin with the lowest forms and work
upwards, anatomy and the climbing pro-
cess are not the best.
"All elementary lessons in natural his
tory" he says, Should begin with ma
lures most important facts, and first
bring forward her most interesting ami

story Of Loves Old Dream--How Frldus
and Mary Resume Romance Begun
Sixty Years Ago-Nlce, Cosy Chimney
Corner for TWO at Frldus' Farm In
Illinois,

Sixty years ago Fridus p. Beach was
16 years old and Mary Hunt was IL. They
went to the same village school down in
Missouri, and Fridus was solid with Mary.
He carried her little books with boyish
ardor, and they agreed that when they
grew up they'd get married so that they
could be together always.
This plan fell thru because Fridus' par
ents emigrated. So the two married 9th
ers according to the law Of propinQuity.
Later in life they heard each of the other.
and wondered-in the way that people
will-how it would have been If it had
been different.
Three years ago the wife Of Beach, who
is now a prosperous farmer in Onarga,
ILL.,, died. A little later the husband of
the girl who had been his first love died.
In an interchange Of letters they shared
each others sorrow.
Then Beach left his farm and Travelled
to where she still lived in Missouri They
had both passed the allotted span of three
score and ten, but they had not passed the
foolish age. You have to be about a mil
lion before you are by that They sat
around in the parlor and told each other
all about 1t, and their hearts were very
tender about the past-and not so very
callous about the present.
You can guess it all, anyhow. The
very next day Beach telegraphed to ar
old friend, Jarvis G. Evans, in Chica go
requesting him to obtain a marriage
license. Evans got that fatal document
and Fridus and Mary took the tooty-c cars
for Chicago and made good use of It.
Now they are going to occupy nice
cosy chimney corner together at Fridus
| place at Onarga. What difference doe:
| it make whether you are 16 or 60? 70,
