DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.

The Republican organs should try to reconcile their opinions, or at least strike something like an average. For example, The Kansas City Journal fought Folk all through his campaign, and has never yet even intimated that his election was good thing for Missouri. There are few. other Republican newspapers of the same kind. but not many of them. On the other hand The York (Pa.) Dispatch. equally strong in its Republicanism, and equally determined in It's support of Roosevelt, declares that every honest man in the United States will rejoice in the triumph of Joseph Folk, of Mis- souri,"
 New, we don't know whether this Is to be taken as a blow direct in the faces of all the Republicans who re- fuse to rejoice at Folks success. The Dispatch very emphatically declares in the same editorial that 1t was not a contest of political strength but "of the ability of the honest elements to con- troI the government Looking at it

 Fortunately for the whole country. Democracy cannot be destroyed by one defeat. Its motto now ought to be the one word. ''Resurgam." for it will surely rise again, as 1t has risen before It has endured some stunning defeats. but on each occasion 1t has come again to the starting-post with its lighting qualities unimpaired. It will do so again we have no doubt, and 1t may be that the next effort will succeed. Many things may come to pass in four years to strengthen Democracy and weaken Renuhlinanispn hafora .hn country. It was never intended that one Party should continue in power in definitely and the Republicans have no mortgage on the country.

The Toronto World Is not very badly stuck on our President as an arbitra- tor. but then The World is still sore over the award made by the Alaskan Boundary Commission. It argues that the time for him to have proposed an Anglo American arbitration treaty was when the boundary question was in dispute, but, it continues, 'Mr. Roose- welt was not discussing Angio-American arbitration treaties in those days. He was designing board of arbitration guaranteed to secure for the United states every inch of territory in dis pute Inferentially. if not directly. inc animation was handed out that Canada had to choose between a loaded hoard pf arbitration and large consignment Of trouble. Canada took the board of arbitration and the United States took the territory"
 mat Alaskan business is almost an- rient history now, so many other i'm. portant events having pushed it aside. and we do not recall all the narticu- lars in connection with the Commis- sion. We remember that some oS inc Canadian newspapers, and we think The World was one of them, all along Insisted that the Commission was pack ed in the interest of this Government. and that the award was a foregone and predetermined conclusion.
 However this may be, the United States got about all they contended for and many Canadians were wrathv about it. The World twits RooseveIt that he is in favor of an Anglo-Ameri- ran arbitration treaty-"now when there are no more available prizes to be grabbed at the ekpense of Canada and Britain" as. 1t expressed 1t. In this 1t strikes us that The World is q little bit inconsistent. Taking it's expressed opinion of Roosevelt he ought to be more anxious for the Commission If there were some prizes to be gathered In. Perhaps that paper thinks the President is looking forward to an- other slice of Canada.

in this way. and assuming that all honest men must rejoice over the re- suit we are left no choice. but to think that all who do not rejoice are not honest. If this is the way The Dispatch intends, is 1t not striking some of its Republican friends a pretty hard blow? And, by the way. it is encouraging to remember that some of the most loyal and in- fiuential Republican newspapers in the West have shown themselves as coin- pletely non-partisan as The Dispatch is. wepresume they are honest

TT FAILED TO WORK.

Altogether the most discreditabie ex- hibition of Republican partisanship that we have any knowledge of was shown by that party in connection with the campaign for Governor of Min nesota. MT. John A. Johnson, the Democratic candidate, was so unfor- tunate. in the eyes of a certain class of Republicans. as to be the son of a drunken, worthless father, whose wife had to take in washing and do other menial labor in order to support her children. That this fact could be looked on as diseredit to the son would hardly seem possible to right thinking men of any party. but the managers of the Republican campaign fin Minnesota thought that here was a chance to score against the Demo- cratic candidate, and this was the weapon used to defeat him.
 It is altogether creditable that there was such an uprising of Western manhood as to turn this despicable brand of politics against those who introduced and exploited it. The re- suit was that the State which gave a Republican plurality of 5s,0oO for Gov ernor two years ago showed Its con- tempt for dirty and un-American methods by electtng Mir. Johnson by very decided plurality. though we have not the exact figures at hand. The Republican bosses urged their fol- lowara tf. ax,<.fa o~a,~st A.. .1- =. .. washwoman and drunkard." and that settled 1t. There was enough justice and genuine Americanism among the Republicans of that State to down that brand of politics.
 We know nothing of the character or claims of the Republican candidate for Governor of Minnesota, and 1t may be that he was not man to bring out the full strength of his party. but when we consider that Roosevelt carried the State by plurality of one hundred thousand. more or less, it is very plain that MT. Johnson owes his triumph to the disreputable politics of the amateur bosses who were trying to manage the
 
 might have won among the aristocracy of England or Newport, but had the opposite effect on the Western voters. 1t ia one more score against dirty politics, and a creditable one. In the words of fair-minded Republican con- temporary:
 The American voters are too sensi- ble, too manly to listen with patience 10 such rubbish as class distinction. In this country every man stands on ms own record. No matter what his parents were; if he is honest in his dealings. clean morally and Iaw-abid- ing citizen that Is; all the people want 10 Know: If he Is the son of poor par ents and he advances to the front by legitimate means the people respect him. The attempt to belittIe a man because his parents were not wealthy has no place in the real life of the United States. Class distinction is un- known among the American people. It belongs to Europe, and even there 1t is not so rampant as formerly.
