THE REPUBLIC AND THE STUFF

The Republic of last Thursday took
occasion TO criticise this newspaper for
the stand it has taken in favor OF the
election of President Roosevelt, aud 80
advise it as to how it might win n de-
gree of the confidence of the public"
Our contemporary is certainly possessed
woeful lack of judgment. Its criticisms
of The Herald are most certainly i'll bad
taste to say the least of them. The po-
sition of the Republic as II purveyor of
public thought and action in TINS COM
lnunity is we'll understood; it has u,t
about as much influence as the passing
gust of wind. Notwithstanding its
scholarly and well written editorials. The
very best friends of that newspaper
frankly admit this; if they are inter-
ested i'll any cause that requires the
support of the public to MAKE it Il sue
cess they do not solicit the aid of
the Republic. 1t is n pretty good paper
for news. which has been The secret of
its success, but as moulder Of opinion
or thought it is dismal failure. And
everybody realizes this but its accom-
charry about criticising Others and es-
pecially of impugning their motives in
matters political his own record in this
connection is not entirely forgotten yet !;
IN fact about 80 per cent. of the repub-
licans of this county quite frequently
discuss it. rs we'll as the motives that
prompt his newspaper to cndeavor to
pose as an organ of that party. This
is why it is bad taste for the Republic
to charge that The Herald is "out fol

the fact is so notorious that ''thc stuff

ludicrous for that paper to raise sucl

A large mapjority of the republican
papers of the state are in favor of hold
ing two conventions this year, as usual
in a presidential campaign-one to elect
delegates to the national convention and
the other to nominate a congressional
state and county tickets. The one con-
vention idea, with a campaign lasting
from May to November, is regarded as a
dangerous precedent. The republican
party Of Washington, divided as it is
into two factions, is in no position, ae-
cording to the belief of The Herald, to

The home of Mr.. and Mrs II. II. Schott
was gladdened Monday morning by the
arrival of boy baby.
d. Doyle died at St Joseph's hospital
yesterday morning of tuberculosis, hav-
ing been an inmate of that institution
since last November, coming there from
| Toppenish. He was about p years OF
age and said he came from Alassachu-
sets, but would tell the attendants ut
the hospital nothing more of his past
The funeral occurred this morning from
the Catholic church.
At the bachelors meeting at the Com
mercial club last evening, it was decid-
ed that they would hold their annual
entertainment in honor of the ladies who
have been entertaining members of the
club during the winter, on the first Fri
day evening after Lent, April s. Com
mittees were appointed to arrange for
the affair. They will report at another
meeting to be held next Tuesday even
ing.
Work was commenced Monday on the
new fire exit on A street at Larson's
theater, which will be completed this
week, as well as other safeguards for
better protection. The committee of the
coucil recently appointed to investigate
the condition of the various buildings
of the city in regard to fire protection
will insist that fire escapes be put on
the three story structures, the owners
of which have agreed to provide them.
An additional exit will also be put in
the Edison theater and the doors of the
Commercial club will be changed to
swing outward. This change has al
ready been made at the Columbia school
building.
Biggam Brothers have disposed of
their bottling works in this city to H.
ID. Baylor, proprietor of the Yakima
Bottling works, and the two plants will
be consolidated, that gentleman being
the sole proprietor. There is not room
in Yakima for two plants of this kind,
but Mr.. Baylor is satisfied that one can
do well. The consolidation will double
the capacity of the Yakima Bottling
works, which is becoming an important
institution under the energetic manage
ment of Mr.. Baylor, who has put in the
most modern machinery that could be
obtained and spared no expense to bring
his plant strictly up to date. Mr. Bay
lor is also going TO push the Soda
Springs proposition on the Ahtanum, of
which he now has the control and is
figuring on erecting a modern hotel in
the near future.

other day as in favor of but one conven-
ton. He was willing, he said, as far
as he was concerned, to be nominated in
May and work until November to be
elected, arguing that this would be pref
cradle to working all summer for the
nomination and then probably getting
at the convention in August or Sept
ember. You see" said he, IF | am
going to be defeated for the nomination
| would rather take my medicine in May
than late in the summer" This may
be sound argument for the gentleman
in question, who will probably have OPP
position in the convention. but his con-
tention will not be popular with those
candidates who feel sure of being nomi-
mated. They will want as short a cam
paign as possible, instead of the agony
being prolonged for six months. and the
voters themselves would undoubtedly
prefer short campaign. The masses
of the people get tired of politics, even
when they are not so long drawn out,
and are opposed to a continual political
agitation. Another argument that the
gentleman advanced in favor of one con-
vention was that there is Il division in the
ranks Of the republican party in the
safe. and the less the mess is stirred up
the less olor will arise from it. Con
ventions,' he said, always leave sore
spots and the fewer of them we have
the better it will be for the party" He
seemed to forget, however, that with one
convention the men who were sore would
have six months in which to work in
stead of Il few weeks and would thus do
more damage. With q few politicians
the one convention plan may prove pop
ular, but it will hardly find favor with
a majority of the people.

officials look for larger influx of home
seekers in the spring than there was last
year. This valley, no doubht, which
offers such superior inducements in this
line will get more of the homeseekers
than it did last year; the Commercial
club pamphlet descriptive of its wonder
full resources was not issued in time to
do much good last year, but the effect OF
it will be felt the coming season. The
pamphlets, it will be remembered, were
largely distributed by the residents of
this valley, who sent them to their
friends in the east. 1t was the best adj
vertisement of the valley ever issued
and was money well spent, giving, as it
did, reliable data that people can de-
pend on. If inquiry is made in the
spring among the homeseekers that do
come to the valley it will be found that
many of them were attracted to this To-
cality through the means of the pamph-
let. Something of the kind should be
issued every year. Less favored COM

been securing larger share of the i'm

A party of gentlemen, of whom E. J.
Wyman. late candidate for mayor was
one, We're talking the other day about
the needs of the city in the way of
sewerage, drainage and sanitary regu-
latons, to prevent disease, etc. The
opinion was expressed by one member of
the party that Mayor Fechter's admins
tration had big job on its hands to
fulfill its campaign pledges in this dircc-
ton, when Mr.. Wyman delivered him
self as follows: "Well, you'll find that
Mayor Fechtcr will come as near doing
it as anybody can. He has had large ex-
perience i'll city affairs, is honest and
conscientious and is the right man in the
right place. He should be supported by
the people, too. He has good body of
councilmen behind him, besides, and will
do all that can be done This senti-
ment was also endorsed by the other
members of the party; they agreed that
everything could not be done at once
but thought that Mayor Fechter would
do his best, which, under the aggravat-
ing circumstances. was all that could be
expected. And they further agreed that
it was generous in Mr.. Wyman. after
the warm campaign of last December
to speak in such commenlatory terms of
Mayor Fechter. 1t shows that Mr.. Wy
man is not sore over his defeat. and he
made no secret of the fact that he was
glad of it.

mittee at which he had expected to

NOT EAGER FOR LAND
No Rush Attends Chippewa
Opening at Crookston
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
CROOKSTON, Mimi, June 15-This
morning at 8 o'clock, 24S,731 acres Of
land located in the Pigeon river, Bots
Fort, Deer Creek, White Oak Point,
Red Lake, Chippewa of Mississippi
and Winnibigoshish reservations in
Minnesota were thrown open TO entry
through the Crookston, Cass Lake and
Duluth land offices. OF this amount.
71,16S is tributary to the Cass Lake
district, 49,517 to the Duluth district.
and the bulk of it, or 128.045, all To-
Gated in the Red Lake reservation in
the Crookston district
Though the acreage tributary to the
Crookston land office was large, there
was not great rush, only about fifty
entrymen being lined up when the Of
nee was thrown open, and there was
but little confusion. The regular force,
consisting of the register, receiver and
two clerks, was reinforced by Clerk
Wing, of the Duluth Office, which was
the only change made to handle the
extra business.
Most of the lands opened are in the
Northwest angle" and are not de-
sirable for agricultural purposes. They
are low and swampy in part, and a
large portion of the rest are rocky and
valuable only for the spruce, tamarack
and cedar contained, or the minerals
under the surface, gold and silver
quartz and mica having been found
in paying quantities. The Rat Portage
gold mines are located but thirty miles
across the bay. The angle" lands
cannot be reached except by a very
circuitous land route or by crossing
the. Big Traverse, which Is twenty
miles wide and very rough most of the
time. Several of these tracts will
probably become valuable in time as
summer resorts.
