After doing everything it could to

slightest excuse or reason, the Free
Press takes a look at itself and sheds
these crocodile tears:
'There is regretable circumstance
of the gathering that the factional
feeling resulted in the retirement of
Senator Henry Hale as representa-
tive of Ramsey county at Bismarck.
He has been there so many times, and
has made such good record as an
honest, industrious and fair member
of the senate that he seemed almost

the fractional feeling, it is very doubt

excellent record he has made as a

The Office of register Of deeds is the
most important in the county. The
title of every piece of land rests in
the hands of the register Of deeds, and
every land owner Is interested h hsv-
ing this important Office filled by a
man who is thoroughly competent.
When it comes TO LusiLess, senti-
ment takes secondary place. It has
been said and never denied that
George Emslie has made the best
register Of deeds Ramsey county ever
had. His records are kept in perfect
shape, and those who have business
with this branch Of the county gov
eminent always receive prompt and
courteous service. Mr.. Emslie will
be candidate for re- election. and the
only object any one advances to h is
reelection is the fact that he has held
the Office for number of years
When good and competent man can
be found for this position he should
be retained. 1t is to the interest of
property owners to do so. Ramsey
county has fine set of records and it
would be unwise to turn them over to
new and inexperienced man.
When farmer or business man finds
a man who does his work satisfactory
he does not discharge him to- make
room for one untried and inexperienc>
ed. The same rule should apply to
public officials-particularly where
titles to property are involved.

Walter Welman the we'll known
special correspondent of the Chicago
Record Herald says that the adoption
by the republican national convention
of President Roosevelt's platform
plank opening the door to tariff revi-
sion MARKS an epoch in the history of
the republican party signifying the
abandonment Of 1eactionary ecouo-
mic policy and the revival of the lib
eral theory Of which William Nc
Kinley in his later years was the ad-
vocate. The change is regarded as a
turning point in the life of the nation.
1t was with a full knowledge of
President Roosevelt's desire in rela-
tion to the platforms expression on
the tariff that Senator Hansbrough of
North Dakola took the active pa1t he
did in the advocacy of what was

North Dakota Republicans are in
favor Of tariff changes, where those
changes are necessary, where manu-
features derive inordinate profits on
thei1 goods, by reason of the tariff
vail. These inordinate profits do not
go to the working man, but to the
factory owner. It may be that the
steel business is one that does not
need as much protection as it did be,
