BY Il vote of five to four the United
States supreme court decided last week
| that the inhabitants of the Philippines
are not entitled to the right of trial
by jury. Another one of those close
decisions that, justly or unjustly, has
tendency to bring our highest legal

From Washington comes the report
| that the salaries Of rural free delivery
| mail carriers are to be adjusted. The
only adjustment that can at all be
satisfactory to this government en-
ploye is that which will raise his SAL
airy. And it is altogether right. He is
poorly paid for his services,
John Lind and Mayor Haynes were
both criticized for taking part in the
primary fight. Now both are blamed
for not taking part 1t is common
knowledge that the man does not live
who can suit everybody. but when it
comes to Minneapolis Democrats it
may with as much truth be said that
any of them.
1t begins to look as though the Re
.publicans would have to nominate a
new man for governor or take chances
on swapping itself, says the st. Peter
Herald. Judging from appearances in
this section there will be no new man
and the chances referred to will. come
to pass. It's up to Dunn or Collins
the nomination.
1t has been given out on very good
authority that Senator Joseph Bailey,
of Texas. has been selected by the
Democratic national convention to act
as temporary chairman Of the st. Louis
convention and that Hon. John Sharp
Williams, of Mississippi, minority lead
er in the house of representatives, will
be permanent chairman.
Perhaps after all the most important
issue for the Democrats of this county
to decide to-day, is whether or not they
are able to conduct a public assem-
blage in an orderly and decent man.
ner They have on several previous
occasions shown that they were not
capable of intelligent action. Let us
hope that they may not demonstrate
themselves incapable of orderly action,
even though it be devoid of reason.
The Alumni association of the ST.
Louis university has fitted up room
in the university buildings as it's head
quarters during the Worlds Fair. All
former students of the ST. Louis uni
versity, or of any other Jesuit institu-
ton. are most cordially invited to make
use of the same. Information in re-
gard to the fair. lodgings, boarding,
hotels, places of interest, etc. will be
most willingly furnished by the secre-
tary, George r. Desloge. whose address

view with himself in the Anoka Union
this week relative to one Robert Dunn,
who is candidate for governor. Boiled
down it is simply further display of
spleen at his defeat as delegate to the
Republican national convention short
time since. That and nothing more.
OF course Bob Dunn will be over
whelmingly defeated in the Anoka
county primaries and Brother Pease's
influence will be the cause of it all.
Sure thing! Well see.

Postmaster General Payne has given
out an interview in which he states
that he will be neither chairman nor
vice chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee this year. He takes
this ground ON the advice of his physi-
clan, who tells him that he must retire
from active business and take long
rest if he is to live out his allotted
number of days. His physician"
might also advise him, and perhaps
has, to retire from active politics at
the same time. Canada may vet be
found more congenial climate for
Mr. Payne.
The country districts Of Minnesota
