A Undue Defense.

The Pioneer Press still persists in
describing the public examiners re-
port or the auditors office as an "at-
tack" and this morning it furnishes
perhaps the most unique illustration
of what 1t is to have a poor defense
against an attack"
In reply to the statement that the
public examiner was authorized and
instructed by the legislature to ex-
anime the auditors office, the Pioneer
quotes from the report Of the legislat-
ing committee one section to the effect
that in it's opinion the trespass cases
were settled to the best interests of
the state. Another section, however,
insructs the public examiner to inves-
tigate thoroly into the accounts of
railroad, express. telegraph and tele-
phone taxes, stumpage and mineral
land accounts.
The Pioneer, with an exhibition OF
innocence that is "childlike and
bland" calls attention to the fact that
there Is not single word said In the
report about timbmer trespass, and in
sists, therefore, that no inquiry
should have been made into this mat
ter.
Suppose the county commissioners
of Hennepin county should investigate
the office Of the county auditor with
respect to certain matters and should

MINNESOTA POLITICS
Senator Nelson Says Tariff Revision Is to
Be Expected of the Next Congress-
Dunn Not Talking Now.

The republicans Of Minnesota will be
interested in an interview had with Sem
ator Nelson by the Alexandria Post News
yesterday. The senator has just returned
home and speaking of the prospects for
tariff revision he said:
Il have every reason to think that the
congress which will be elected next fall
will enter upon a thoro and judicious re-
vision Of the tariff, and in such way as
to remove inequalities that may exist, and
any injustice or discrimination in favor
Of so-called trusts and combinations.
II think it Is conceded by all fair
minded men that's there are certain tariff
schedules that should be revised and re-
duced. I am heartily in favor of revision
and reduction in all cases where it is in
the interest of the public welfare. In nc
instance ought the tariff be higher than
sufficient to make up the difference in
cost Of production here and abroad. That
limit, as rule, ought not to be ex'
ceeded. =
Senator Nelson unquestionably repre-
sents republican sentim emf in this state
on this tariff matter. What he has to say
reminds the reader Of the last republican
state platform-it is 50 different.

During the counting Of a vote the other

La Toilette Again.

It looks as II La Toilette would
again sbe the republican candidate for
governor of Wisconsin. If he wins
again it will, be the third time that he
has triumphed over the "stalwarts."
The closeness of the contest, however.
indicates that what may be called the
La Toilette wave in Wisconsin poll
tics is subsiding.
In politics, as in all things else,
there Is demand for something
novel. Whatever is old and familiar
grows tiresome; it is put away and the
new things takes it's place. Men in
politics are as children at play.
What they have not interests them far
more than what they have. The new
plaything has day, and a brief day.
After awhile 1t will be in demand
again.
SO the interest Of the republicans Of
seems to be waning. They have pos
sessed him for six years, and for sew
eral years before that they had paid
some attention to him. All this is
said with due respect to Governor La
Toilette. He Is simply the victim OF
a common fate, Of the weakness OF
human nature. His victory this time
will, it seems, be far from substantial
Nevertheless, it is better than defeat
Only man Of great strength could
have hoped to win a third time against
such a combination Of foes as the
governor has had against him from
the start.
Governor La Follette's career is az
interesting demonstration Of the fac
that there are forces in American poll
tics which are able to triumph owe
all the ordinary factors of politica
strength, such as money, organization
trained leaders, prestige and en-
Etrenched position. ~
