Capture Temporary Organization o
 Minnesota Convention.


 Duluth, June 22.-The Hearst forces captured the temporary organization of the state democratic convention for the selection of delegates to the national convention to-day and it was expected that they would be strong enough to instruct the delegation for their candi- date.

didn't attract much attention here
where we knew the facts, but when it

Gus reporters made great story out of
it, and it's still growing. First the
daily papers nursed it along. then the
church papers took the overgrown
yarn and dressed it up in ponderous
editorials. 1t went down south with
all this upholstering and was received
with JOY, for Dixie says this alleged
race war in a Northern university is
worse than a negro bonfire in Georgia.
just the other day DR.. Leonard, Mis-

rose up in the North Ohio conference
and denounced the outrage of burning

than that adopted by not a few of the
cities OF the country, the cultivation
OF flowers and the competition Of var
ions grades in flower shows Nothing
but good can possibly result from such
course of training. Flowers teach
nAught but wholesome lessons and he
who does not love their beauty is in
deed the most miserable of mortals
In Cleveland there are thirty-two pub
lie schools. containing probably 25, O00
pupils, now competing in flower shows.

an increasing love of the young people
for Natures fairest gifts. The mo.

busy student of this practical age to
pause while to look from things
more prcsaic to beauties of form and
Rlories Of color. Tens of thousands OF
children are to be found interested in
charming exhibitions of the fairesi
things nature makes. The boys and
girls themselves bring the flowers. In
many cases they have grown them Il

Have you paid for your REPUBLICAN

Americans do not appreciate the

Of our country. What institution Ia

What force has more to

be interesting to read the opinion of

Pulitzer, In recent editorial, says:
'It is not too much to say that the
newspaper is the only great organized
force which is actively and as a body
upholdlng the standard of civic right
eousnesA There are many political
reformers among the clergy, but the
pulpit as an institution is concerned
with the Kingdom of Heaven, not with
the republic of America. There are
many public-sp1rited lawyers. but the

tainers and no law-defying trust ever

Editorial infuence-the power O
