Not a. Standpatter.

The speech of Mr.. j. J. Hill at the
Fillmore county fair yesterday was, like
most of Mr.. Hill s public addresses, of
rather unequal merit. Nothing could
be more valuable than his advice to
farmers to keep their land and cultivate
1t, and nothing could have been of less
value than his attempt to stir up trouble
between the farmer and the state uni
versity, as T h e ournal has shown
elsewhere. He rehashed his arguments
against the Panama canal and did not
add anything to them. If Mr.. Hill IS
position as a transportation man were
not so we'll established, one might be
tempted to believe he is afraid to have
the canal built. But as this cannot
be true, it must be that he has never
comprehended the uses Of the canal
It is not merely to bring us nearer the
western coast Of South America, but
nearer the whole orient. If the whole
consideration were the Chilean trade
very likely we should build no canal

Is is just like Roosevelt to demand the
return of the money contributed by the
New York Life to the republican cam
paign fund.- tho contributed voluntarily.
The effect of such action upon the politi-
cal methods of the future will be tremen-
dous. We have here. too, an evidence
of the great value Of publicity, absolute
publicity in the conduct Of all these great
corporations which deal so largely with
the affairs and the interests of the public.
There may be no law to prevent a life
insurance company from contributing to
a campaign fund, but publicity of the fact
has aroused a state Of public sentimen,
on the question which will put an END
to practices of that kind.

The governor Of Indiana has removed
state funds and turned in wildcat securi-
ties instead Of cash. When the governor
was brought face to face with a PROPOSE
ton that the states money would be re-
turned provided the defalcation was kept
secret and the auditor retained in office
the governor turned it down and turned
the auditor out, because he suspected the
money to make good was coming from
the railroads which were going to gel
even by retaining the dishonest auditor
Indiana is to be congratulated on the
backbone of it's governor.

which I would like to reply. The public
ownership (socialist)y party of Minnesota
is affiliated with the socialist party Of
America. The local trouble Is not as you
state, a difference of opinion as to fusion
and compromise, but was on account Of
the personal ambitions of a few who tried
to rule or disrupt the movement. Neither
the socialist party fnor any section of, 1t
believes in fusing with any other politi-
cal party The faction. at As South
Fourth. street, is in no way affiliated with
the state or national organization of the
party their charter having been re-
voked by the state committee The action
of the state eemmittee, was sustained by
vote of the state membership of nearly
ten to one, and, nof as you stated .sus
tanning the faction that was expelled.

Tourists have been moved to form a
league for the preservation Of picturesque
Switzerland by the fact that the vulgaris
cation of the scenery is being, carried to
an extreme. In fact the Alps are becom-
ing commercialized to a degree which is
distressing to real mountain climbers.
The waterfalls are being enclosed with
high board fences, railroads are run here
and there and hotels are put up just in
the right spots to cut off the view. It
is terrible to think of getting up early in
the morning to go out and see the sunrise
on the Jungfrau and find that you are
looking into the old can department of a

Philadelphia s Sensation.

Philadelphia has just had a novel
political experience, political conven-
tion composed of unrestricted dele
gates who resolved themselves into a
deliberative body and chose ticket
to be presented to the people of Phila-
delphia at the election next fall.
The convention was called by the
reform element, which has decided that
the only thing to do is to J.. fight the
republican machine at the polls. =.
After the exposure of the gas steal
and the subsequent unhorsing of a
large number Of bosses and sub-bosses
by Mayor Weaver, last spring; the re-
publican, organization was in a perfect
tangle:, The machine had gone ahead
and nominated the county ticket by
the familiar back office process and the
convention had duly ratified the .selec-
tions of the bosses. When the gas
steal was exposed it came out that a
number of the nominees on the repub-
Hcanz ticket were so thoroly tarred that
It was deemed impossible to elect them
But the nominees were tractable men
obedient to their masters, and at the
bosses suggestion they all resigned
from the ticket. 1t became then q
question whether Weaver would coop
crate with the men he was fighting in
the selection of a new ticket, or. wheth
er he would go outside of the ranks
Of the republican party in making his
fight.
For time it seemed as tho some
compromise would be patched up, but
Weaver has definitely made up hi:
mind to have nothing to do with Dur
ham and Penrose. At his suggestion
B the Lincoln republican party has beer
formed, and it was it's convention helC
this week which gave Philadelphia suc1

Hamilton and Mccall.

In discussing the politicals contribu-
tions Of the big New York Life insur-
ance companies the other day T he
Journal said it believed the contri-
buttons to national campaign funds,
while they were startlingly large, were
but incidental, that, inasmuch as the
insurance companies had a bigger stake
at Albany than at Washington, to Al
bany must have gone the real political
Doodle put up by Mccall, McCurdy and
Alexander. Mr.. Mccall, in a rather
gingerly way, admits that his company
spent barrels of money at Albany. But
none was used so far as he knew for
the corruption of legislators. Not at
all. ..r
The connection of the man Hamilton
with the New York Life and his main
tenarce. of headquarters !. at Albany
means only one thing. He was there
to see that the politicians did not get
too "wise' to the graft of the insur-
ance presidents and their friends. Ad-
verse legislation was to be avoided and
adverse reports from insurance depart
ments were especially to be prevented.
Hamilton had a modest retainer of
:: 100000 a year and yet the New
York Life was paying him as high as
100000 a year for illegal services
This is rather steep story to take in
when it is known that the legal bust
ness Of the New York Life is done in
New York city. According to Mccall
Hamilton today has an open account
with the company Of .$235,000 and Ham.
ilton figures that he owes the company
100000 if there was settlement made
Mccall is confident Hamilton will pay
this if he is called upon. If he does
not Mr.. Mccall will pay it himself.
This is all very pleasant and shows ar
admirable state of confidence between
Hamilton and Mccall. There was alto
gether too much confidence between
them and Mccall s testimony in regard
to Hamilton is so yelled that he cannot
complain if people form their own opin
ions as to what the real relations were

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
a Seventh Day Mar. on the sunday Saloon.


To the Editor of The Journal.
The writer has been very much inter-
ested In the correspondence on the Sun
day closing question. There are some
other phases of this question that would
be glad to present. 1t must be remem-
bered that the American people have
clothed the rum traffic with an air Of
responsibility; so much SO that In the
eyes OF the law the business Is just as
respectable as any other. Nevertheless,
the business Is not respectable It never
was and 1t never will be. 1t is demoraliz-
Ing In every sense Of the word.
Again, it must be remembered that be-
cause Sunday Is regarded by many as
the Sabbath day, to be religiously OBJ
served, Is the reason Of the Sunday clos
Ing feature of the law. Were it not for
this religious feature of Sunday, no one
would ever have heard Of Sunday closing
In the attempt to regulate the rum traf
f1c. But Sunday is not the Sabbath or
| the Bible.
And yet again, because of this religious
feature OF Sunday, the people, not. in this
city alone, but In other countries, are
seeking to enforce the Sunday laws; not
only upon the saloon but in other lines
as well. But it Is an utter impossibility
to make men religious by the enforce
4 ment of civil statutes The most that
| can be done is to make men appear reli-
g1ous, while at heart they are no better.
But this is only to make hypocrites Of
them; and there is no need of manufac
turing this class of citizens. ~ =
| And yet once more, these Sunday laws
7 have always been a source of annoyance
to dissenters; and it is not in accord
with our boasts of freedom of conscience,
nor yet with the fundamental law of the
nation for our peOole TO demand their
enforcement. Trace these laws to their
original source-the union of church and
state under Constantine-and all theii
history, and we find they have never been
for the advancement of Christianity MOI
even of civilization
The present agitation for the enforce.
ment of Sunday laws in some parts OF
p the old world is in accord with the spirit O.
the dominance of state religion in those
countries. The present movement to clos.
the saloons and barber shops and grocer
! les is but a stepping stone leading on tt
the persecution of dissenters, when ex
emption clauses will not exempt.
If these things be SO, some will ask
What Is to be done with the Sunda!
saloon? I ask, What is to be done will
the liquor traffic? And I answer: lie
the American people disrobe it Of TIN
garment of legal responsibility with which
they have covered its shame, and let l
appear in all it's naked deformity, an,
deal with it according to it's merits
Truly the power that can close the salool
one day in the week can close it ever
day. And the writer is acquainted wit
a denomination of $4,000 who would glad
, ly work to this end if only the temperate
question were shorn of it's Sunday closin
feature. %%l@ H. F. Phelps.

Those in purple raiment dressed

For the kings mad power hath wrenched {
Worthy hearts with every pain:
For the kings have armies drenched

As the crags above thy fjords;

Not for thee hath time evolved

Since the mountains bulk dissolved
