anything he could get from the doctor.
If any physician in this country was able
to compound medicine that would pro-

Newberry Negro Shoots Another.

Newborry, juno 10.--John Reeder,
colored, late Saturday evening, shot
Howard Stephens, colored, three times
with a pistol. Stephens died from the
shooting occurred in the public road at
the Peterson place, near Silver Street.
The difficulty was caused by Stephens's q
daughter and Reeder's sister becoming
engaged in difficulty which became
general. 1t appears from the testimony
taken by Coroner Lindsay that Reeder
pulled his pistol and shot five times at
Stephens, three of the balls taking effect.
Reeder surrendered and was brought to
town by w. w. Spearman.

Since there is national statuary
hall and since space has been re-
served in it for the statues of two
men prominent in Minnesota history
there seems no good reason why the
state should not be represented in the
nations capitol William Pitt Murray's
suggestion that the state historical So
ciety undertake the work, or, at least,
originate movement looking toward
its accomplishment should be adopted
by that body. For since it is the his
tory of the state that is to be epit-
omized in the statues, a state histor-
ical association. surely, is best fitted
to accomplish the task.
And neither state nor society has
any reason to question the names
that Mr.. Murray has proposed for
honor. 1t would be difficult matter
to select from the roster of pioneers
the names of the men who by their in
dividnal efforts had done the most for
no such invidious comparison need be
made. All that is necessary is that
the names selected shall be those of
men who most satisfactorily represent
historic period. There are honored
names in the roster of pioneers, but
circumstances and certain qualities Of
leadership have made the names of
Henry H. Sibley and Alexander Ram
sey stand out distinctly.
All that is picturesque in the from
tier history of this middle West state
is grouped about these two names.
The mere mention of Sibley's name
conjures up picture of one of the
historic trading posts of the North
west and permits even the least imag-
inative to regard a thousand details
that impart to the picture life and
vivid color and splendid romance The
name of Ramsey links the history of
territory and state with that of the
nation and it is an honored one in the
history of both. To place statues of
both these men in statuary hall would
surely be thankful task for any or
ganization proud of and interested in
the history of the state. But for the
state historical association it would
be particularly appropriate task since
it is the special object of the associa-
ton to preserve for future generations
the history of Minnesota's notable past

FOR VOTING MACHINES

On almost every lip since the recent
election has been the demand for the
introduction of voting machines. The
people of st. Paul without regard to
party are pretty nearly unanimous in
this desire, and we can see no reason
why it should not be granted forth
with. The voting machine is no longer
an experiment. 1t has been tried out
through many years, until it is no more
difficult to obtain a successful and re-
liable voting machines than it is to get
a good bicycle or automobile. The
machine does the work honestly, ac-
curately and instantly. 1t is subject
to no charge of fraud or collusion. 1t
saves an enormous amount of time and
of money. Why should we not have it?
The worst feature of our elections
is our cumbrous system of receiving,
recording and returning the vote.
Since the Introduction of the Aus
tralian ballot especially this has be-
come herculean labor. Judges and
clerks of election work for days count
ing the scattering votes on the various
ballots. The total result can seldom be
ascertained short of forty-eight hours.
Even then it is so full of miserable in
aceuracies that the results are always
in doubt where there is close con-
test, >and an official recount is always
liable to make changes. All this labor
and time is dispensed with where the
voting machine is in use. It records
the vote as cast; silently, automatic-
ally, instantly and finally. There is
no mistake and there need be no re-
view.
The petty argument of first cost has
been used with most effect against the
introduction of the voting machine. 1t
rests on false premises. The present
expense of each election is enormous.
Counting the cost of preparing and
delivering the ballots and of counting
and tabulating the votes. elections as
now conducted cost as much every few
years as an entire outfit of voting ma
chimes. They pay for themselves in a
few elections. and thereafter the COM
munity is relieved of very heavy
continuing expense. The two elections
that have been held recently in St.
Paul have run UP a bill that would go
long way toward buying voting ma
chimes. 1t seems to US that an ex-
perfence like that Of the last election.
with its enormous vote, its irregular,
scanty and unreliable returns and its
postponement for days and weeks of
the announced result. ought to con-
vince everybody that voting machines
should be adopted without delay and
put into use by the next election.

THE PRESS AGENT AND THE
NOVEL

In an advertisement of<a new novel
the publishers state that while the
story was running serially they re-
ceived from reader the request that
the remaining chapters be sent to her
as she was suffering from a fatal dis
ease and death was imminent, and she
could not pass away contentedly with
out knowing how the story ended. The
imagination of the press agent is cas-
lily discernible in this unique statement
and it is impossible to avoid the con-
clusion that his field is, in the near
future, to be immeasurably widened.
Certainly no one can deny that the
novel which promises to prove popular
and the writer of the novel must sug-
gest possibilities to that resourceful
genius who has heretofore confined his
attentions to the stage.
And the publishers reasoning is
logical enough. For il the easily per-
suaded public goes to see play be-
cause the leading woman has lost her
diamonds. why shouldn't 1t buy book
because the writer is young and beau
tiful and collector OF stray cats?
Long ago the book publishers came to.
the conclusion that advertising paid,
and for many moons now the poster
calling attention to the merits of a
new book has been hung on the same
billboard with the poster that has adj
vertised the most recent breakfast
food. The employment of press
agent is but another step. And
whether the writer himself or the pub
Usher hires him, returns are sure to
be quick and worth while, since moth
ing is impossible to this wielder of the
facile pen, once given carte blanche in
the way of space Certainly the press
agent should make the popular novel
ten times. at least. more popular.

THE EXTREME LEFT


Is the United States to have So
cialist party of recognized political
strength? This is the proposition that
the American Federation of Labor now
in annual session in San Francisco Will
probably have to consider. for socialist
delegates seem determined to force the
convention to express itself politically.
If these succeed in controlling it, the
federation will declare itself in favor of
socialism Labor unions in European
countries all gravitate more or less to-
ward socialism. In some countries.
notably in Italy. the labor unions are
the socialist party.
But there are many good and suffi-
cient reasons why the trade unions
should not declare themselves for So
cialism. Indeed. many good and suffi-
cient reasons might be quoted why the
American Federation of Labor will not
so declare itself. In the first place the
American workingman is head and
shoulders above his European brother,
both as regards social status and in
telligence. This is not because he is
better endowed mentally, or superior
physically. On the contrary, the Amer
lean workingman is, in many instances,
simply the European in new environ
ment. Bat the environment has stimu-
lated his intelligence. has increased his
self-respect and has awakened his am
bition. He is more strongly moored
than his brother in Europe and his
vision is clearer.
Therefore it is natural to infer that
he understands socialism. And to un-
derstand socialism is to be convinced
that it cannot be legislated upon a peo-
pie that, enlightened though they are.
have as yet only imperfectly developed
social instincts. Socialism would be
possible if every citizen were absolutely
unselfish, honest and charitable. 1t is,
in reality, an ideal for an individual,
not for a government. -Ail this the
majority of American workingmen un-
doubtedIy realize. 1t would be an in
suit to their intelligence to believe
otherwise. ~,
Fortunately such leaders as Samuel
Gompers and John Mitchell set the la.
Dor union men conservative example.
and their earnest desire that the feder-
alton shall refrain from expressing it
self not only for socialism but for any
other political party is another reason
for believing that the American work.
ingmen will never commit themselves
as a unit to the tenets of the party Of
the extreme left. For Gompers and
Mitchell obtained their leadership
merely because they represented the
majority's wishes. And there is no
good reason why that majority. today
should veer around and advocate So
cialism.

watching the returns come in from all
over the country in a newspaper office.
"and stirred me to think that in this vast
country within a few hours the voice of
the people, right or wrong, would be so
emphatically and SO Enthusiastically as

Toward the end of his address, Mr..

Il rejoice to think that in the great

Great Britain and the United States will
both by interests, by sentiments, be found
side by side. l believe from the bottom
OF my heart that for the progress of the
world. for the civilization of mankind
We will fight side by side for those ideals
and those questions which are common to

Mr.. Morley's speech was received with
great enthusiasm. 1t was over ten min

THE OLD sEEsAw

One set of Republican correspon-
dents sends out word that the first
work of the Republican party will be
revision of the tariff and that a spe-
cial session will probably be called to
effect it. Another set of correspon-
dents tells the people that there will
not likely be any tariff revision, that
the president has not hinted at any
intent of calling an extra session and
that the whole matter has not been
carefully or even seriously considered
There will not be either an extra
session or a revision. If the president
We're to call congress together out of
the usual order for this purpose, he
would not only invite hostile criticism
from his own party but he would per-
form a very futile and foolish act A
revision of the tariff is something that
cannot be accomplished, even when you
are in earnest about it, in a few min
utes. 1t will be recalled that when the
last change in our tariff laws was
made, committees of the two houses
had been sitting during the recess of
congress for many months preparing
the necessary schedules. Without that
preliminary work it would have been
impossible to revise the tariff with
much less than a years continuous
debate.
The situation is no less complicated
now AT the mention of altering duties
every protected interest will spring
!" to arms. Each one will be ready to
fight to the death in defense of its
particular grab and prove the necessity
of it to the safety and wellbeing of
the country. Every interest in the
country will demand a hearing, and
nothing could be accomplished until
the old straw in this controversy had
been threshed out over and over again.
An extra session would find itself with
no material whatever to work upon.
The truth is, as we have already
stated, that there will be no change in
the tariff unless duty here and there
shall be increased. The Republican
party is not free to act. 1t is, never
theless, obliged, as Fernando Wood
used to say, ito pander a little to the
moral sense of the community" It ad-
mits the existence of a strong and
widespread sentiment in favor of tariff
reform, and between elections talks
wisely and soothingly to these good
people who still retain their Illusion
that the tariff will sometime be made
decent and honest by Republican
hands. AT election time it puts none
but ultra proteetionists on guard.
Now that the elections are over we
shall hear great deal of swash and
hypocrisy upon the subject of tariff
reform 1t is the old seesaw that the
Republican party. has, with only occa-
sional disaster, operated successfully
for so many years. Now the high
tariff end is up and now the low tariff,
but the protected manufacturer always
sits with his big bag undisturbed on
the log in the middle We wonder how
much longer this transparent pretense
is going to work.
