What the Editors Say

The state legislature seems to be in
a mood to take a swipe at the interna-
tlonal harvester trust, judging by a
resolution which was passed by both
mouse and senate last week appointing
committees to look into the feasibility
or beginning the manufacture of bind
ers, mowers, hayrakes, etc, at the state
penitentiary. This would be going into
the trust busting business with a
vengeance; but there are many diff
cult1es in the way. not least OF which
would be the extensive patents held by
the harvester companies. These diff
culties could undoubtedly be overcome
however, and the idea is one which
should be thoroughly investigated, and
If possible the manufacture OF this
class OF farm machinery taken up at
the state institution in question. There
Is need for additional means of en-
ployment at the penitentiary. and no
more useful line of work could not be
taken up.-Morris Sun.
Asher Murray, the representative
from Wadena county, tells the Pioneer
Journal that very likely a provision
will be made by the legislature to in
veStigate the feasibility of manufac-
turing farm machinery at the Stillwa-
ter state prison. We desire to go on
record as being most emphatically in
favor OF such a step. 1t is a move in
the right direction. and general benefit
Is very likely to come of it Mr. Muir
ray himself is heartily In favor of the
plan. and so is Senator Wood and Rep
resentative Hinds.-Wadena Pioneer
Journal.
Any country that can appropriate
$2,0OO,O00 a minute and heep il up for
three hours, as our United States SEN
ate did last week and not bankrupt the
country or even cause a financial rip
pie, must be a pretty big country with
wonderful resources.-Bruce Herald.
If anyone has doubted the propriety
or enacting laws to suppress the bucket
spops. the Coe commission crash
should disabuse his mind. Their infiu-
ences are every bit as bad as the lot
terry and they should share the latter's
fate.-St. Peter Herald.

A CAPITAL CRIME

Spencer declared that history is
largely the Newgate calendar of ma
tions. Whether posterity accepts the
apothegm or not, it will enumerate in
its history of the twentieth century
many criminal counts against Russia.
and, unless some more stupendous
crime is to be committed by that ma
tion, Mukden will be the most irrefut
able and overwhelming of these. STRAIT
egists are busy pointing out the SUI
perior skill of Field Marshal oyama

remembers only that something like
ninety thousand men were left dead

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
AS to the Argument Of Mrs. Farnsworth

To the Editor of The Globe:

UNITED WE STAND

The Globe is delighted with the
assurance from Washington that Dem
ocratic senators are a unit in OPPOSE
ton TO the Santo Domingo treaty. 1t
has two reasons for its pleasure One
is the fact that this probably assures
the rejection of document containing
new and dangerous doctrines. We can
not afford to turn the United States
into collection agency on the ground
that the Monroe doctrine calls for IL.
We cannot afford to take upon our
selves the burden of debt and the bur-
den of preserving order in every tur-
bulent or bankrupt little. state on this
continent. That is the sufficient reason
why every Democrat should vote
against this perversion of great prin-
ciple and this attempted usurpation by
the executive Of senatorial functions.
Our second reason is almost equally
strong. This action seems almost like
direct response to the appeal made
by T he Clio be some weeks ago. and
afterward adopted as the theme of dis
cussion national in its scope. 1t was then
pointed out by T h e G 20 b that there
must be united action among Demo-
Gratis if there was to be a Democratic
party at all. For many years we have
been accustomed, whenever a division
was called for in congress, to see the
Democratic party divided and part OF
its members voting with the Repub-
licans. We have seen just and right
full independence in opinion and obedi-
ence to conscience. carried to the extent
of that finical rebellion against all
party discipline which must, il I'M
checked, end in party death. We be-
lieve that a vote against party should
come as a last resource, only when an
invincible. conscientious belief has been
assailed and the voter must either
stultify himself or withdraw from his
associations. These occasions must in
the nature OF things be extremely rare.
AT all other times such sacrifice of in
dividual opinion to the will of the ma
jority is called for as always has been
and always will be necessary, not only
to the existence of parties but to the
preservation of democratic institutions.
+ We are delighted, therefore, to see
the Democrats in the senate present a
united front. We want to see the Dem
ocrats in the house present a united
front. Republicans have been plaster
ing them with soft phrases about their
noble allegiance to conscience and their
still nobler Independence Of party die
tation. but we have observed that
whenever the whip cracks every Re-
publican gets into line. Conscience and
independence cut mighty little figure
with him when party leaders at Wash
ington issue their commands. There
will always be enough with these great
qualities to save our party, because
they are Of the very essence OF De-
mocracy. For the present, In view of
the recent past and the results of late
elections. what Democracy most needs
is cohesion and party discipline. That
can come in the rank and file only
when the right example is set by the
leaders. The party alignment on the
Sante Domingo treaty is patriotic, and
1t is also of good omen for Democracy.
