marked its management may be for
gotten. The purity of the motive that

the impulses that move the great De-

corruption to which the Republican

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM

While the Republicans in state con-
vention yesterday were engaged in de-
Ginning to do things they refused. to ac-
cept the tariff doctrines of their party
as enunciated at Chicago last week.
1t is true that they did not take a posi-
ton opposed to the tariff plank of the
national platform. They recognize the
fact that the national platform was
made to expedite the running this fall.
But they refused to go the distance
and indorse the protective tariff.
The action of the state convention
was not in line with the instructions
given the officeholders who were desig-
mated to indicate to the assembled del
egates the desires of the national adj
ministration. United States Marshal
Grimshaw, platform writer in ordinary
to the administration, composed and
submitted to the committee on resolu-
tons a platform in accord with the
views of the standpatters.
we continue our unId1ler1nS ana
abiding faith in the protective tariff"
read the Grimshaw plank. Take it
OUT was the order of the bucolic mem
bers who have become infected with
the Iowa idea. And out it came and the
platform as adopted contained only
few sparkling generalities on the be-
nefcent Republican tariff.
For the rest the platform is such
document as might be expected Of a
body of men who had real business in
hand and could not be expected to give
their valuable time to the consideration
of measures when it might be used to
promote the fortunes of favorite sons.
Such matters of internal and vital in
terest as the administration of the state
institutions could not we'll be gone into
and there will be time enough for
that later, when the members of the
board of control settle down to the
work of defending themselves instead
of making a case for a candidate.
AS public document the Repub-
lican platform is not calculated to dis
tract the public attention from the i'm
portant fact that the Republican party
has succeeded in nominating a candi-
date for governor.

The forced yielding of the defeated fac
ton does not cover their soreness and
their rancor. There are tens of thou
sands of Republicans in Minnesota who
will no more vote for the partys can
didate for governor than they would if
the expected bolt had occurred and
there were two tickets in the field. Mr..
Dunn will prove as weak at the polls
as he was strong in his party's con-
vention, and the task of Democrats is
simplified and their opportunity en-
larged. The knives Of the faithful are
already whetted for Dunn; and their
resolution to defeat him, scarcely con-
cealed, is taken. Let us have a Demo-
cratic candidate who can command the
confidence, the respect and the enthusi-
asm of our people, and the next gov
ernor of Minnesota wifi be a Demo-
crat.

PUT ON THE ExTlNeulsHER

The most remarkable fact in the
whole career of Dowie, the fraud, is
his apparently unlimited command Of
free advertising agencies. We say it is
the most remarkable, because such adj
vertising is not easy to get and be-
cause upon it is built all the rest of
Dowie's success. Any man can be a
prophet, any man can get thousands of
and boom his credit and make himself
a millionaire if he can get the newspa-
pers to talk about him and spread his
claims long enough and loudly enough
This is what Dowie has done, and his
influence upon an agency which he has
denounced in the yiIest terms and
which certainly both hates and despises
him remains unbroken.
After, his wretched fiasco in New
York city and after the apparent col
lapse of his credit in his own COM
munity, Dowie started around the
world to retrieve his broken fortunes.
Nowhere has he met with the slightest
encouragement. He has been treated
in most places as he deserved, with
total Indifference and almost total 81
lence. He comes back to this country
without having made gain anywhere;
a discredited, miserable old fraud. Yet
the moment that he sets foot in Chi
cago, where even his own people did
not give him welcome or take notice
of his arrival, the press booming starts
again and the press agencies send out
stories of Dowie's reception at Zion
City at greater length and with more
detail of circumstance than they
would give to visit Of the president
to Oyster Bay.
The way to dispose of Dowie is SIM
pie. The public has merely to put on
the extinguisher. The bubble of his
success has been blown big solely by
the breath of notoriety. He will die
the instant that his free advertising is
cut off. We suggest to all the news
distributing agencies of the country
that they let Dowie alone, and to the
| newspapers of the country that they
cut out his gratuitous press notices.
Both his dupes and his revenue will
disappear when this reliance passes.

BLOCKING ALONE

An important news paragraph an
nounces that the national convention
of the Peoples party will meet on the
Fourth of July. Did the readers eye
not alight upon this scant notice,<he
would not have known that the Peo-
pies party any longer had official ex-
istence. 1t is but few years since
this was one of the great gatherings of
the country, vying with the Democratic
and Republican conventions and conf
IDENTIFY hoping to surpass them both
1t is but few years since the national
conventions of both these parties waited
with expectancy and fear and hope
upon what the Peoples party might do
to aid or injure them. 1t is but a few
years since treaties, offensive and de-
fensive, were entered into with it by
both other political organizations that
felt bound to make terms.
How different all this is today. The
Peoples party has sunk to negligible
factor in national politics. A remnant
of its ancient membership will sur
vfve, preserved by that curious at
tachment that holds men to a vanished
tradition and an empty name, but it's
influence in practical politics is nil
This is because the work that it was
organized to do has been accomplished

THROWING DUST

Secretary Shaw's attempt to juggle
with the treasury figures is worthy of
the man. 1t is a wretched subterfuge
intended to palliate the extravaganza
Of the Republican party. incidentally
one purpose is to prove that Shaw is
not SO bad a prophet after all. He at
tempts to vindicate his figures by
showing that the actual amount left in
the treasury is not so greatly different
from what he had estimated that it
would be. But in order to reach this
conclusion he is obliged to cut out Of
the appropriations all those which he
had not expected to be made when he
framed his estimate.
This is most interesting rule. APP
plying it to business, any man can
bring himself out a big winner. All he
has to do, if there is balance on the
wrong side Of the account, is to say
that he spent more money than he ex-
pected to at the beginning of the year,
and if he had not spent so much there
would be a surplus. Then he can de-
clare dividend, present to himself a
check on his overdrawn bank account
and go home rich and happy
We do not care much about injuring
Secretary Shaw's reputation as a
prophet. Certainly he ought to have
a reputation of some kind. We do not
propose, however, that dust shall be
thrown in the eyes Of the people with
regard to the performances of the Re-
publican party as a spender. The facts
and figures in detail will play a large
part in the coming national campaign.
The truth is that the widest and most
profligate estimate of what congress
would or could do has been exceeded
by the actuality. 1t has spent more
money than even this rich country I'M
der system of high taxes can yield.
We are running now at the rate Of
nearly billion dollars year and the
end is not yet. The treasury is con-
fronted by a certain and enormous
deficit.
All this lavish waste of public money
has occurred in time. of profound
peace, in a time following a concluded
war, when retrenchment in every di-
rection was easy and the cutting down
of expenses a first duty. Retrench-
nrat and reform will be one Of the
watchwords of this campaign, and no
pettifogging such as that in which
Secretary Shaw INDUCES can distract
the attention of the voters from this
question or blind them to the sins of a
Republican administration.
