tive j. A. Tawney is somewhat inclin-
ed to think that the Federal Govern
ment may be going too far in its super-
vision of. the domestic affairs of the
people of the states or of doing things
which belong peculiarly to the States.
At any rate, he points out the TACT that
if the people want the government ut
Washington to undertake such func-
tions on large scale, they must be
prepared to foot annually an equally
large bill.
Minneapolis News: If the railroads
we're running the postofice department,
there would be 1000 classi6cations for
mail, one billion tariffs, 10000 clerks
making new rates for postage, excep-
tions so numerous that Philadelphia
LAWYER couldn't find what he was en-
titled to, and new bargain rate-for
three days only-everY time the wife of
fourth vice president wanted to send
out hundred invitations for party.
GAINESVILLE Argus: A travelling fax

of lot of cheap goods at big prices.
lie sold dictionary at a dollar that
can be bought for "A cents and other
things in like proportion. 1t we had
our say we should put the license up to
prohibitive point as matter Of pro-
lection bo5h to the people and the man
oii business and Heep this class oi deal
ers out altogether.
Outing: When the sweet peas come
into bloom. cut their flowers off as soon
as they begin to fade. This prevents
them from forming seed, and the plants,
in their efforts to peIpetuate their
kind, will straightway produce more
flowers, and keep on doing this as long
as interfered with. In this manner
flowers are secured throughout the en-
tire season. But, if seed is allowed to
form, you will have few flowers during
the latter part of summer.
St. Paul Dispatch: It is very unfor-
tunate that President Roosevelt is
against a second term in unmistakable
terms s-unfortunate for the men he is
offending. Not one has ventured to
declare this investigation of meat in
spection bid for popular favor IN the
interests of second term, and, If any
one did allege it, the people would not
believe. The corporations may we'll
ask, Just what he means, into whose
hands is he playing. But the people
don't.
San Francisco Chronicle: San Fran
cisco for the past month has been abso-
lutely free from disorder and turmoil,
free from crimes of violence; there
have been no street brawls, no drunk
en- brute has beaten his wife, no gamb
lers have been murdered in low resorts.
except some dealing with sneak thieves,
the occupation of the police courts is
gone. It is most impressive object
lesson to society of the benefit of the
close restriction Of the liquor traffic.
Freefort, ILL.,, Journal: The Rev.
Billy Sunday has come and gone, and
good old liberal religious, law abiding
Freeport remains. He did not do any
damage and it is possible that he ac-
compiished a great deal of good, and
| that our regular, we'll established, old
fashioned churches will have their
membership enormously increased by
Billy SUNDAYS peculiar methods. Time
will tell about that. It cost a great
deal of money, but Freeport has got
the worth of the money expended, and
no one is making any complaint.
Good bye, Billy; come again.
Pioneer Press: With the program of
enterprise and energy and development
which the election of Mr.. Cole will in
sure is contrasted the careless, dOnoth-
ing record of the present governor
The whole executive energy has been
expended, not in promoting the welfare
of the state but in fitting from town tc
town in search of a second term fol
John A. johnson. The personal ex
hibits of the young governor have beer
pleasant as works Of art, and even edi
flying, but hardly useful to the peopi!
more results would better suit th'
Philistine taste of most Minnesotan
just at this time.
