DEMOCRATIC UNTRUTH
Both Parker and Bryan Guilty of Insx-
cusable FalsiHcation.

1t seems that Judge Parker is not
more veracious than ID. b. Hill and
other truth-shaders of the Democratic
party. In his speech of acceptance ON
Aug. 10, Parker made the amazing
statement that the cost of maintaining
American rule In the Philippines
amounted TO SG50,0OO,0O0 This sum is
so far from the true amount that it
was expected the Democratic cand-
date would explain his error, but it
does not seem TO be his policy to make
corrections. Secretary of War Taft,
who has had more to do with the gov
crnment of the Philippines than any
other man. waited nearly two months
for an explanation from Parker. but
none came. Finally, on Oct. q, Mr..
Taft in II speech mt Indianapolis,
showed the utter falsity of Parker's
statement, pointing out that the sum
named WAS Il gross eXaggeratiOn. In
stead of S6JO,OOO,OOO, aS stated by the
Democratic candidate the cost of the
Philippines to the United States has
been only SlG9,OO0,OO0, besides the So
NNN'N'' Ihih 'lblil' lut lt-
tai cost $lSs,OOO,OO0. Mr.. Taft added
that the cost year for maintaining
courts, and the additional cost of main
tanning 1900 troops in the Philippines
instead of in the United States all tax
en- together, do not exceed S5O0O,000
year.
Three weeks have passed since Sec
rotary Taft publicly called attention to
Parker's misstatement, but Parker has
remained silent, completely ignoring
the correction. Now comes w. j. Bry-
IN, who has been too busy trying to
straddie Parker's gold telegram and IL
TO to learn facts about anything, and
repeats the Parker statement. Bryan
is talking anh-lmperialism and, in try
ing TO strengthen his arguments, is
telling the people that the Philippines
have cost S650,000, 000-the same I'M
truth uttered by Parker. If Parker
made a mistake and was too cowardly
to correct it, it i'll becomes Bryan, who
has nothing to gain by lying, to ape
the New Yorker.
This incident Is merely fresh evi.
dence that Democracy is conducting
a campaign of Misrepresentation and
deceit

SHAMEFUL CARTOONS
Reproach and RidicuIe for the Soldier aud
His Uniform.


The campaign caricaturists of Presi.
dent Roosevelt have succeeded in arous-
ing enough interest to bring out the
question: Is it disgraceful to fight FOR
ones country?
1t is amazing to see the uniform OF
soldier of the United States army
pictured in such manner as to imply
a reproach to its wearer!
Ii was once thought to be an honora.
BILE thing for a man to resign position,
ease family, independence, friends and
home, and become fighting machine
to help uphold the honor and the word
of his country.
There seems to have grown up a diff.
ferent view of this matter. The earn
est sacrifice of an American soldier
Is held by some TO be an affair to pic
ture in such a manner as to arouse
contempt and vulgar smokers in the
crowd. The devoted soldier facing
death for his country Is, with these
nameless miscreants, a sight to be
guffawed over, something to be distort-
ed into laugh-raising cartoon.
Once it was written:
1T is sweet and glorious to die for
my country"
The yellow rendering is:
1T is GROTESQUE AND RIDIC.
ULOUS TO FIGHT FOR ONES
Country"
Such creatures would write in their
books, if they ever wrote books, at is
grotesque and ridiculous to die for
ones country"

voices the sentiments of thousands of

he says:

that in case of his election they would
be assured of straightforward and con-

OPEN SEASON FOR TROUT.
Will Begin In minnesota One Week
From Today.


The trout season in Minnesota will
open week from today, and the state
game and fish commission is receiving
many queries ais to what are the pros
poets for the season and where are the
best places to fish.
Officials of the commission say that if
warm weather continues during the next
week fishing will not suffer from the
backward spring Fishermen have fear
ed that ON account of the deep snow last
winter many streams might not be ac-
cessible at the opening of the season.
The mild weather of the last few days,
however, has removed their fears to a
great extent.
Reports from Duluth, in the vicinity
of which are some of the best trout
streams in the state, are that French and
Sucker rivers will probably not be open
by April Is. This may be true of many
rivers on the north shore, where the soil
is largely clay, causing the water to
swell the streams. The prospects for fish
ing in the streams on the south shore are
brighter.
Minnesota has some of the best trout
streams in the United States. Lake, ST..
Cloud and Itasca counties contain many
favorite resorts, and there is excellent
fishing in the vicinity of Winona and ST..
Cloud.

REV. FATHER MARCH,.
New Priest Comes Here to Take Up

Rev. Father Francis march, recently
arrived in the city from Buffalo and took
up his permanent headquarters here as
the assistant of Rev. Father Neustich
of st. Peter and Paul's Catholic church
Father march, was assigned to Man
kato last fall by the Father Superior
at Buffalo, and was about to depart
for this city, when a priest at Buffalo
fell sick and Father march, was de-
tanned in that city all last winter and
spring to take the place of the disabled
pastor.
Father march, is German by birth
and is thirty-six years old. His early
home was at Wurtemburg, Holland.
While still quite young man he was
sent as missionary to India, but the
climate of that country did not agree
with his health. After remaining there
for some time, he was assigned to Ameri-
ca.
1t is a custom to send priests directly
from the college at Valkenburg down in
to India, to do missionary work, and
to ascertain whether the climate will
agree with them or not Some of the
priests keep their health well in the In
dian surroundings and these fathers are
apt to be detained in the Hindoo SER
vice for quite while. Those who can
not stand the climate are given other
assignments, often being sent to the
United States, whose climate the Ger
man usually finds quite congenial
