and make monkeys out of them. =
We have attended every state con-
vention except two since 1884, and we
have found the delegates from the
cities as rule, just as honest, con-
scientious and as devoted to the
interests of the party and the state as
those that come up from the country.
We have found the country delegates
more than match for the "city
chaps" In fact they can and have
given them "cards and spades" and
beaten them in the game of political
manuvering and as they will have
five-sixths of the delegates under any
apportionment it is the height
of absurdity to assert that they must
have five delegates donated to each
county in order to keep from being
horn swoggled out of their rights,
is too ridiculous to talk about.
HOW TO TAKE THE ''TAINT' OUT OF
MONE4.
Is it "TAINTED MONEY!" John D.
Rockefeller has given ten millions of
dollars as an endowment for higher
education in the United States, to be
paid Oct. 1, to the general educational
board, the principal to be held in
perpetuity as foundation for educa-
ton, the income, above expenses and
administration, to be distributed to,
or used for the benefit of such institu-
tions of learning at such times, in
such purposes and under such condi-
tions, or employed in such other
ways, as the board may deem best
adapted to promote a comprehensive
system of higher education in the
| United States.
If the fund proves to be as useful as
is anticipated, it is expected that Mr..
Rockefeller will make large additions
to it in future years.
OF course it is "tainted" money.
All the money of the trust magnates
is tainted. Tainted with ruined in
dustries, broken hopes, broken hearts,
dismantled homes. 1t is the price of
children's food and clothing, the
necessities of life and the comforts of
old age. Little wonder the possessor
| is anxious to rid himself of it for
every dime represents tear, every
dollar groan. Yet, it seems to us
that when this tainted money is offered
for benevolent and educational pur-
poses it is the plain duty of those
having those institutions, to accept
it-all they can get of it-and take the
''taint" out of it by using it for the
benefit of humanity.
SHOW US.
The newspapers of Minnesota can
with profit drop the discussion of poll
tics for a few months and advocate
good roads. Cloud Journal Press.
We expect the Journal Press will
set us the example, and furnish a
series of articles that we can copy.
| WHERE HE GETS THE MUD.
The man who throws mud gets
dirtier than any body else but the
trouble is it seems kind of natural
to him and he does not mind it,
Duluth Herald.
And he always gets the mud he
throws out of his own front yard.
| THE ASHES WON'T TELL.
The supposed remains of the late
Mr.. Jones-John Paul Jones-will
shortly be landed in this country and
buried with honors. It really makes
no difference whose ashes they are SO
long as the American people believe
they are Jones' and don't discover
anything to the contrary. Princeton
Union.
The ashes won't say anything
whether they are those of Jones OF
not. And it don't make any differ
ence to Jones either whether they are
making all this fuss over his ashes OF
someone else's.
JACK RABBIT SENSE.
Some of the papers that are talking
harmony and a new deal in Republi-
can politics display about as much
sense as is supposed to be possessed
by the gay and frolicsome jack rabbit.
For instance, Frank Eddy suggests
dispensing with the five delegates at
large to the state convention from
each county. 1t would be interesting
to know where Frank expe cts to ge
his delegates if he should conclude to
again become candidate for gov.
ernor. Certainly not from St. Paul
or Minneapolis s.-OrtOnville H. S.
Any one who has as much sense as
"gay and frolicsome Jack rabbit
knows that the ''6ve delegates al
large" results in the grossest in
equity of representation. That there
is just as much justice and just las
much reason in having so delegates
at large for each county as five. Jack
rabbit sense ought to tell man thai
under no apportionment' those horrible
sinks of political inequity" Mime
apolis and St. Paul have more thar
one-sixth of the delegates and if one
sixth can run five-sixth they coulC
run sixteen-seventeenths Franl
