party seem to have made up their
minds to roll up as large vote as
possible for their mayoralty candidate,
c. NJ. Way. They point out the fact
and urge it as good political argument
that Mr.. Way is just as good bust
ness man rs is Mr. Jones; that he is
just rs clean, and that Mr.. Jones, if
elected, could not do any more for
them than any other Republican
mayor has done or any Democratic
mayor either, and hence they say they
are going to compliment Mr.. Way as
much as possible by their votes.
Over in the First ward the Demo
cratic workers have pledged Mayor
Haynes $500 votes. An enthusiastic
First warder advanced the argument,
and it seems to be taking among the
Democrats and Republicans alike, that
they must show that they appreciate
the fact that thirty-six officers reside
in that ward and have homes there,
and this solid Democratic ward seems
bound to hold all of them on the
force, and they are not all of one poll
teal faith either.

A NON PARTISAN JUDICIARY.

One of the chief issues in the state
campaign Of Minnesota this fall is the
idea of a non-partisan judiciary. The
Democrats have shown themselves to
be thoroughly in earnest in this mat
ter by nominating one Republican and
two Democrats for the supreme bench.
They have followed this uD by COM
polling the secretary of state to place
upon the ballot the name of Justice
c. T.. Brown, under the designation of
Democrat as we'll as Republican.
abroad throughout the state that the
bench should be free from politics.
People who believe in this principle
have an excellent opportunity this
year to put it in force. No better time
could be had for testing the sincerity
of the people upon this proposition
than the present There is going to
be great deal of independent voting
en- the state ticket. and we believe
that this independence will extend to
the judiciary.
Thousands and thousands of Repub-
leans are dissatisfied with the meth
dds used in the last state convention
to nominate not only the candidate for
governor but the candidates for the
supreme bench. But outside and be-
yclNl these methods stands the prin-
ciple of IL non-partisan judiciary. The
Democratic party in its platform and
it's candidates is bound to that prin-
ciple. On the other hand, the Repub-
lican party has taken special pains to
bring politics into the judiciary. 1t

necessary to steal delegates from
Hennepin county, and after having
done so his followers attempted to

methods we urge the voters of this

Of the East desires the re-establsh-
ment of the canteen, says the Catholic
Columbian. Then he says: IF it were
possible by my act to absolutely stop
the manufacture and use of intoNicat-
ing drinks Of any kind, would do so;
it it We're possible by my act to pre-
vent the use by any person in the
military service of intoxicating drinks,
l would do so; but realizing that the
impossible, however desirable, must
give way to what is possible and prac
ticable, l am finally Of the opinion that
it would be in the interest of discipline
to re-estGblish the canteen feature of
the post exchange, recognizing that in
this way the evil of the use Of drink
can be minimized.' Experience, testi-
mony, facts and officials are all in
favor of the canteen. but the White
Ribbon cranks are against it. Which
side will win?

Charles Il. Cheney makes the fol-
lowing representations in the Journal
of Thursday last:
'Thc third district Democracy will
vote quite solidly for Joseph w.
Craven, of Norwood, and the return
of the Democratic party to the gold
standard is counted on to bring back
some of the gold Democrats of Ger
man descent in Dakota, Carver and
Scott counties. The result may some
what reduce Congressman Davis
plurality of 5,7O4, but his reelection
is absolutely sure.
1.-THE result in the Fifth district is
not questioned. "Uncle Loren" Flet-
cher will get the party vote. His OPP
pOnent, Dr. KOhler, is not we'll known
in the district. and does not attract
any particular attention as CAM
paigner. The 1000 majority for Lind
two years ago was personal victory
This year Mr.. Fletcher should win out
by from 5000 to 10000"
What Mr. Cheney says of the Third
district Is true i'm many respects. but
when the ballots are counted we be-
lieve that there will be Il surprise in
store for Congressman Davis. He
will find in Joe Craven one of the best
vote getters in the district. DIR. kOh-
Ter, too, in the Hcnncpin district is
sure to make things lively for Uncle
Loren, who can consider himself

1t is reported that plans are about
to be submitted to the Propaganda for
the establishment of new see in Wis
consin, says the Baltimore Catholic
Mirror. The new diocese will be
known as the Superior diocese and
will be formed of the northern and
eastern third of the La Crosse diocese
and the three counties of Green Bay
diocese which lie west of the Wiscon-
sin river. The boundaries of the Mil
waukee diocese will also be changed.
If a new see be established it is said
that the names of Very Rev. A. Il.
Schinner, vicar general Of Milwaukee,
Very Rev. \. Kermer, vicar general Of
La Crosse. and Rev. w. Krutzka, the
envoy of the Poles Of the holy see, will
be suggested for the bishopric.

the hardy annual comes up again Mt

which told to the people of the state,
through the daily newspapers, how
dear to lrish-C Catholics was the de-
ceased.
What would be more fitting than for
the Irish-Catholic societies Of greater
Boston to hold a memorial meeting in
Faneuil Hall? Would it not express
in concrete form the true feelings of
the million of Catholics in the Bay
State? The scattering resolutions
coming from societies, clubs and bodies
of men could be gathered and worded
into one set that would speak for all.
In Faneuil Hall the voice of Senator
Hoar was lifted often in defence of per-
sonal liberty. In the famous "Cradle
of Liberty" it would be peculiarly
pleasing to have a return made by
those defended to the man who ut
all times defended their rights. Fam
euil Hall could be crowded. The Re-
public makes the suggestion and eX-
poets immediate steps will be taken.
But do not let such meeting deter
organizations and societies from adopt
ing resolutions. Let every Irish-Cath-
Ole organization, no matter what its
scope may be. adopt resolutions and
give them to the press that all peoples

against the \. T.. \. movement.
When the \. T. 4. agitation was at

Senator Hoar was one of the few men
who openly conbatted it. He really
destroyed the political power of that
organization with his courageous
stand. Having been attacked by the
leader of the organization. he address

which he asked him a great many
questions. One of these was:-

office in this country? Or that his

The concluding paragraph of Sen
ator HOar's letter read:-

of equality. especially what Roger
Williams called soul liberty is able
to maintain herself in fair field and
in free contest against all corners.

From all parts of the country have
come tributes to the memory and
worth of our deceased statesman, the
late United States Senator George

lie. President Roosevelt, the states

leading citizens and civic and fraternal

Joined in the one concrete tribute

swer, undoubtedly. would be-the
broad tolerance of personal liberty
and, working out from the latter, re-
ligious liberty. And tracing out this
thought, it would be agreed it was his
sturdy protest against any form of rss
ligious or racial bigotry that gained for
him the completeness of accomplish
ment in maintaining the rights of per-
sonal liberty. From early manhood
until the closing days of life Senator
HOar was the friend of the Irish

deceased made clear how contemplate

on the county ticket there are judicial
candidates to be elected. In this, the
Fourth judicial district, there are six
district judges, of which four now are
Republicans and two Democrats. Four
of these judges are to selected this
fall. The terms Of the two Demo-
cratic judges, Brooks and Pond, en-
pire, and they are candidates for re-
election.
Judge Pond has served for twelve
years upon the district bench of this
county, i'll a manner highly creditable
to himself and satisfactory to the law
yers and litigants of the county.
Nothing can be said against him and
no reason given why he should not
be reelected except that he is a Dem
ocrat.
Judge Brooks has served for six
years on the district bench and is adj
mitted by all attorneys, Republican as
well as Democratic, to be one of the
best judges Hennepin county has ever
had.
For these two positions, as we'll as
the two other positions held by Re-
publicans, there We're fourteen Repub-
lican candidates for nomination.
These men became candidates on their
own suggestion and for no other rea-
son except that they wanted the posi-
tons. by personal efforts on the part
of some of these applicants for posi-
ton, one Of the present Republican
judges was defeated at the primaries
Some of these candidates have sue
ceeded in getting themselves nomin-
ated. They are now depending upon
the Overwhelming Republican vote Of
this city to elect them to positions
which are now admittedly we'll filled
by the present occupants.
Judges Brooks and Pond both richly
deserve to be reelected to their pres
cnt positions. Their defeat would be
Il distinct loss to this community
They occupy positions which are in no
sense political and they have filled
them with such eminent satisfaction
that their election should be assured
Their election would be assured be-
yond any question were it not for the
habit that voters have gotten into in
this state of carrying politics into the
judiciary. 1t is high time that there
was reform in this respect, and the
Democratic party, both in the state
and in Hennepin county, has present
ed an excellent opportunity to the
voters to make this reform. The same
is also true of Ramsey county, where
the Democrats have nominated Judge
Bum and L. D. O'Brien for the bench.
Admittedly these men are of the very
highest character and most excellent
ability. Do the people want a non
partisan judiciary? Now is the time
to secure one.
