Whites, Rraas and Blows.

Almost every community has its
whittler-th man who sits on dry
goods box and whites, at the same time
finding fault with everything, and Of
fering advice to the busy man who is
making strenuous endeavor to get
along in the world, minding his own
business and doing what he can to build
up the town in which he lives. We have
all seen the whittier. He is the fellow
who "knows it ALL" and could conduct
the affairs of this government much bet
ter, in his own mind, than those who
have made a study of governmental af-
fairs for years. He is the prototype of
the Democratic party in politics. 1t has
been so for forty years, hand running,
and now is starting on a new lap. The
platform of the Democratic party,
adopted at st. Louis, shows conclusively
that the party is not ready to do any
thing; it is sitting on the storebox abus
ing the other fellows and Dragging about
what it would do if it had a chance.
The Republican party began "doing
things" in 1861. Every step of prog
ress this country has made since then
has been under Republican administra-
ton and Republican laws. The party
in 1897 had to go back and do them over
again. after a brief Democratic admin
istration had undone the labor of years.
The Republican party in its platform
tells in plain language what it intends
to do. The Democratic party is not spe
cific, but intimates that it will work
wonders.
Now, if you had job of important
work you wanted attended to,
would you give it to the fellow who has
been sitting on the storebox for forty
years, whiting, Dragging and faultfnd-
ing, or would you entrust it to the other
fellow who has been doing things" and
doing them right, notwithstanding the
faultinding and nagging of the chap on
the storebox.
The American people demand results.
not talk. They like the man who de-
livers the goods. The Republican party
is the party of action; it delivers the
goods.

United for Action,

The meeting of the state central COM
mittee on Wednesday developed the fact
that the Republicans of Minnesota are
thoroughly united, and are prepared to
put up most vigorous campaign. What
ever soreness resulted from the outcome
of the contest in the state convention it is
now obliterated by desire of those who
failed to win out to get into the van and
fight for the success of the entire tick
ct at the polls in November. There is
no hope of the Democrats electing any
man they could name for governor this
year. Aside from the fact that this is
a presidential year, the Republican ma
jority in this state is SO large as to
preclude the possibility of Democratic
success. But at that the Republicans
should not get the idea into their heads
that nothing must be done by them for
their ticket during the campaign. The
party workers must be ever watchful,
lest the enemy make an attack where it
is least expected
One of the important announcements
at the state central committee meeting
was that made by United States Mar
shall Grimshaw, who stated most en-
phatically that he would support Mr..
Dunn for election with as much vigor as
he supported Mr.. Collins for the nomi-
nation.
The Republicans are well organized for
action, and there will be nothing over
looked that will aid in helping the par
tv to achieve a most glorious victory

The Gross Earnings Bill.

''The Republican state convention fail
ed to indorse or even mention the four
per cent gross earnings bill, which comes
up for a popular vote at the Novem-
Der election. So it is unfortunate, to
put it mildly, that the Republican plate
form does not contain declaration for
the bill" Minneapolis Journal.
The Journal is unduly excited over
the omission from the Republican plat
form of this gross earnings PROPOSE
ton. As Mr.. Dunn has declared himself
in favor of the bill, that should re-
move the fears of The Journal as to
where the Republican party stands. It
is safe to say that its omission from the
state platform was not due to any an
tagionism toward the measure, but more
to an oversight, which, is being corrected
by the Republican newspapers of the
state. The Republican party has never
failed yet to 'stand pat" on any meas
ure that would prove beneficial to- the
people.

Turninq the Tables.

Miss Abigail Robertson of Rochester,
N. Y, has written letter to Judge
Parker, in which she points out to the
distinguished jurist that what is sauce
for the goose should be sauce for the
gander. Miss Robertson is the young
woman in whose suit against the Roches-
ter Milling company the court of appeals
held that the right of privacy did not
exist-that it was not an inherent right,
and could only be established by statute.
The defendants had used portrait of
Miss Robertson in advertising their
goods. She sued for damages. The case
finally reached the court of appeals, and
Judge Parker wrote the opinion in which
it was established that the right of priv
acy did not exist, and Miss Robertson
could not prevent the use of her portrait
in advertisements posted in saloons,
stores and other public places.
Since Judge Parker's nomination he
has been much sought by photographers.
A few days ago he announced that he
would no longer submit to this invasion
of his right of privacy, saying that he
had reserved the right to put his hands
in his pockets and assume a comfort
able attitude without being everlasting
ly snapped by some fellow with cam
era. Miss Robertson reminds the Judge
that he has no such right, and quotes his
own words in her case. She writes:
"To be perfectly fair to you I ought
to say that you expressly excepted from
the effect of your decision any publica-
ton under similar circumstances which
was in its nature libelous. 1t necessari-
ly follows, therefore, when you now say
that you reserve the Fright" not to be
photographed with your hands in your
pockets, or in comfortable attitudes,
either that you are asserting right for
yourself and your family which you are
unwilling to accord to litigants before
your court, or else that there is some
thing in the attitude suggested of such
a nature that reproduction of it with
Photographic exactness would be neces-
sarily libelous. 1t is not apparent how
your likeness in the attitude suggested
could be libelous, at least, not as long
as you kept your hands in your own
pockets.
'I am forced to the conclusion that
this incident will illustrate the truth
of the old saying that it makes lot
of difference whose OK is gored. I SYM
pathize with Mrs. Parker in her annoy
ance, but I know of no reason why you
or your family have any rights of the
nature suggested which do not equally
belong to me. Indeed, as between us,
submit that I was much more entitled
to protection than you. I was poor
girl making my living by my daily eff
forts and never had courted publicity in
any manner. had never appeared be-

Mr.. MiIler's Platform.

Hon. Herbert j. Miller enters the Sec
ond district congressional contest by
proclaiming a platform that is clear and
explicit. Each plank in his declaration
of principles is so plain that it will be
readily understood, and the Luverne
gentleman is to be commended for the
frank expression of his beliefs to the
voters who on Sept. 20 are to decide who
shall be the Republican party nominee
for representative in the lower house.
There is no evasion in his statement that
he believes sincerely in tariff revision;
that the time has arrived when schedules
must be revised in order to meet chang
ed conditions. 1t is true that while the
tariff is a sacred Republican doctrine yet
rates are not infallible, and they should
be modified to meet the demand of the
times. Business methods have undergone
a decided change in recent years, and
with these differences must come a modi
fled form of tariff There is a growing
demand that the schedules be given an
-overhauling, not radically so, but that
they be adjusted safely and along lines
that viii not disturb the industrial
world, and cause nervousness among
those who are engaged in the manufacture
of articles which are in daily use; also
that the rates be established at figure
that will not effect a cut in the wages
of the artisan and the laborer Through
out the second district Mr.. Miller will
find any number of Republicans who will
agree with his platform, and who will
tender him their support because he
stands for revision of the tariff. Most
important of all is Mr.. Miller's promise
that if chosen congressman he will lend
his assistance to the removal Of the
tariff from lumber-a tariff which is re-
garded as burden, not only by the
farmers but by business men as well,
and one which falls altogether too heav-
lily upon the people of a rural section.

self on record in favor of reciprocity.
This is another principle that is taking
deep root among the Republicans of the
northwest There is a widespread opin-
ion that the barriers between this coun-
try and Canada should be brushed aside,
and such relations established between
the two as will tend to extend the COM
merce of the United States into that
vast territory to the northwest which is
indeed an empire of itself. There
is no good reason why orr manufacturers
should not realize the benefits of this I'M
limited trade, thereby building up and
adding to their industrial Importance.
Mr.. Miller's platform in detail can be
found in another column of this issue.

In the fiscal year that has just closed

fifty millions expended out of the accu-

proof of the sound financial condition of
the nation that instead of following the
usual course in such matters and throw

over, we were able to pay this fifty mil

tions.

From RooseveIt's Recent Speech

Three years ago became president be-
cause of the death of my lamented pred
ecessor. 1 then stated that it was my
purpose to carry out his principles and
policies for the honor and the interest of
the country. To the best of my ability
I have kept the promise thus made. If
next November my countrymen confirm
at the polls the action of the conven-
ton you represent, I shall, under Provi-
dence, continue to work with an eye sin
gle to the welfare of all our people.
We who have been intrusted with pow
er as public servants during the past
seven years of administration and legis-
lation now come before the people con-
tent to be judged by our record of
achievement. In the years that have gone
by we have made the deed square with
the word; and if we are continued in
power we shall unswervingly follow out
the great lines of public policy which the
Republican party has already laid down;
a public policy to which we are giving
and shall give, a united, and therefore
an efficient, support.
In all of this we are more fortunate
than our opponents, who now appeal for
confidence on the ground, which some ex-
press and some seek to have confidential
ly understood, that if triumphant they
may be trusted to prove false to every
principle which in the last eight years
they have laid down as vital, and to
leave undisturbed those very acts of the
administration because of which they ask
that the administration itself be driven
from power. Seemingly their present at
titude as to their past record is that
some of them were mistaken and others
insincere.
Our, opponents, either openly or secret
ly, according to their several tempera-
ments, now ask the people to trust their
present promises in consideration of the
fact that they intend to treat their
past promises as null and void. We know
our own minds and we have kept of the
same mind for a sufficient length of
time to give to our policy conference and
sanity.
In dealing with the great organizations
known as trusts, we do not have to ex-
plain why the laws were not enforced,
but to point out that they actually have
been enforced and that legislation has
been enacted to increase the effectiveness
of their enforcement. We do not have
to propose to "turn the rascals out" for
we have shown in very deed that when
ever by diligent investigation a public
official can be found who has BETRAYED
his trust he will be punished to the full
extent of the law without regard to
whether he was appointed under Re-
ton.
We know what we mean when we
speak of an honest and stable currency.
We mean the same thing from year to
year. We do not have to avoid definite
and conclusive committal on the most
important issue which has recently been
before the people, and which may at any
time in the near future be before them
again.
Upon the principles which underlie
this issue the convictions of half of our
number do not clash with those of the
other half. So long as the Republican
party is in power the gold standard is
settled, not as a matter of temporary
political expediency, not because of
