The Portland Exposition.

The year 1905 will bring the oppor-
tunity for comparison between the two
great expositions held to commemorate
the ACQUISITION Of the lands included in
the "Louisiana purchase The first
Of these centennials-the recently closed
Louisiana Purchase exposition at st.
Louis-celebrat the general events OF
acquisition; the second-the Lewis and
Clark Centennial exposition, which will
open at Portland, Ore, on june Twill
celebrate the occupation of the newly
acquired territories thru the famous ex-
ploration which first discovered to the
people of the country the full extent and
wealth of their new acquisition.
Aside from the historical interest, the
two events will be closely studied by
those who are looking into the subject
Of expositions and world s fairs from a
practical standpoint. And one OF the
chief points Of interest will be that of
financial results. The st. Louis expo
sition has been notable for lack Of ex-
pected patronage. The attendance was

I7,539,000, while the general receipts
from gates and concessions were only

Officials Of the st. Louis exposition
now admit that they failed to realize at
tendance results thru their inattention
to the subject Of advertising. They as

Cummins on towards.

Governor Cummins Of Iowa often hits
the mark, and he certainly rang the
bell when, at the Chicago Press club,
he let go at the coward in politics.
Two menaces to the future Of the
country he declared. to be cowardice
in public life and corruption. Corrup-
tion Of the sordid kind can be weeded
out by law, but the coward remains
the chief obstacle to public progress.
He is usually a man Of good address;
he stands we'll with his neighbours; he
is, perhaps, in the church; maybe he
has sometimes said things which led
people to believe that he had fixed
opinions. But, elected to public office,
the coward in him comes out. He halts
in action, runs away from critical votes,
hides behind the wishes of constitu-
ents, trembles in the presence of much
moneyed people, and finally funks en-
tirely. "
How many Of such men have we seen
in city councils, in legislatures, in ex-
ecutive offices. They are the bane Of
American politics today. The tendency
to compromise, to be agreeable, to
smooth things over, is the cause of
more Of our nonsensical, inefficient
legislation, which has eventually to be
done over again, perhaps after substan'
tial public interests have been lost for
ever. The coward is responsible fol
most of this legislation. 49,. ..
There would be wonderful uplift
in American politics and legislation II
the men in public office were all eithe1
positively good or positively bad. The
good would certainly prevail. But il
happens that there are in all public
assemblies two minorities, one will
brains and badness, the other will
brains and goodness, and between the
two the majority Of towards. -" 49,. -.
Governor Cummins says the editoria
page should go after them and go hard
even if it does sometimes draw homes
blood. This is advice that editor
would have taken literally twenty O.
ten years ago, but today the editoria
policy of the real newspapers is to TT,
to eliminate this class of persons from
public office by cooperation with al
the forces that make for good citizen
ship and clarified public conscience
The people themselves can be trustee
| to put the towards out Of office if the.
, are Informed who they are and under
stand the Importance to. their own in
terests Of placing their trust in honest
brave men regardless of party.

Here Comes the DOGGY Man.

Some fantastic objections have been
raised to federal regulation of interstate
corporations, but it remained for the St.
Paul Globe to scare up ghost on the
subject. It, the Globe, says federal reg
-ulation and federal license would imply
the federal taxing power, and away goes
the gross earnings tax, which in Mime
sofa pays over 30 per cent Of the state
expenses. We cannot but believe that
the Globe is sincerely frightened, and
while we sympathize with it we cannot
help metaphorically Shaping the Globe
on the back and asking it to cheer up.
Congress has not done it yet; congress
does not have to do it, and congress will
not do it, so long as it is composed of
men who are elected from states which
are deriving revenue from railroads.
1t is sad to see such distress over a
DOGGY man. The Globe ought to re-
member that Mr.. Hill has said he is in
favor of government license and that
Senator Clapp has given his adherence
to the Cooper bill. With such distin-
guished railroad men coming down from
the perch, why should the Globe sit up
there and wag single wing and
squawk9 A. H. ~.

: ING ADDITIONAL PENALTIES.
The Measure, by r. H. Jefferson, Pro-
vides Strict Punishment for Timber
Depredations and Increases the Facil-
1ty of Detection-Goo Roads Bill Of
the State Association Is Introduced.

Lumber trespass on state lands, a
practice which has cost the state thou
sands of dollars stolen, is severely pen
allied in bill presented by Il. ID.
Jefferson of Cottonwood in the house
this morning. On conviction a fine of
not less than $500 nor more than $4,000
may be imposed and there may be a
state prison sentence ranging from SIX
months to- three years. A reward OF
5000 is to be paid for information lead
ing to conviction.
All persons legally cutting on state
lands must give accurate description
by forty -acre tracts on g, notices con-
spicuously posted in their camps, and
failure to do so is to be punishable by
fine Of from $500 to 1000; an inform
er Of such violations is entitled to a
reward Of 800.
Highway Bill Appears.
l. Ole Peterson Of Nicollet presented
the state highway bill prepared by the
good roads convention at Minneapolis.
The measure is radically different from
tho one drawn by Lawrence H.. j John
son. It authorizes the governor to APP,
point a state commission of three and
divides the state into three districts.
+ This commission names its engineers
and other officers and fixes their COM
pensation as in the johnson bill, the
| road tax is fixed at one-twentieth Of one
mill and $4,000 is appropriated for 1906

auditor, treasurer and secretary the
