The Care of the Parks.

The evidences that the park system,
is receiving scientific treatment at the
hands Of the new superintendent null,
tiply. The parks were never so well
kept as they have been during the past
summer. Drivers say the roads never
were in such good condition as they
have been since Mr.. Wirth took charge
of the parks. In matters of detail MIR.
WGrth has shown himself master. He
has not yet had the funds to under
take any extensive works of improve
ment, but if mastery of detail is any
guarantee Of success in larger affairs,
the superintendent will make good.
It is matter of general congratula-
ton that the park system Of Mime
apolis shows tendency to take on
something Of an air Of metropolitan
finish. Heretofore everything has been
in the preparatory state. The<city has
owned some fields in which the grass
was occasionally cut and which offered
the people fresh air in city where
fresh air is not such rarity as to de-
mand special places for it's ADVERTISE
ment. We have had an immense system
of roadways, but few roads; great
bodies Of water, but few facilities for
enjoying them. It is not in the least
reflection on the park boards Of tho
past that this has been SO. They did
wisely in securing the ground and out
lining the system. They struggled I'M
der great load Of interest which made
their fund for permanent improvements
an insufficient morsel.
There Is not today an adequate fund
for improvements nor has there been a
disposition to entrust the board with
large sums for such purposes. It must
be confessed the people have had their
doubts about the park board and have
heen satisfied to let it move along in .

Minnesota Republicans United.

There is no good reason why Mime
sofa should not have a republican gov
ernor for the next two years. There is
every reason why the great republican
majority in Minnesota should be held
intact for the state ticket, and SO place
every branch of the state government
in the hands Of the party that stands
for progress.
Two years ago the result Of the state
convention was intolerable to many
thousands Of republican voters, who
rebuked the party leadership by de-
feat at the polls. The men who voted
for Governor johnson then did not sur
render their claim to republicanism.
They voted for him because they want
ed to clean house in the republican
party. That object has been accom-
plished, and the reason that impelled
them to vote for johnson no longer
exists. The republican convention this
year nominated man Of clean record.
high character and progressive ideas.
He was nominated fairly and without
ranking injustice toward his rivals.
# elected there is every assurance that
he will give the state clean, vigorous
administration along republican lines.
The executive office and the state de-
partments will be in harmony with the
legislative majority. and there will be
results Of benefit to the state.
The republican party Of Minnesota
deserves we'll at the hands of the vot-S
ers. Republican state officials and the
republican majority in the legislature
have carried out series Of reform
measures that put the state in the front
rank of the progressive commonwealths.,
Republican leadership can be trusted,
and when no good reason exists for re-
pudiating the party nominees, party
spirit should rally republican voters
solidly to their support. AS far as the.
rank and file Of the party is concerned,
the internal war Of 1904 is over. and
The Jour nal believes that
the result in November, the election of
A. L. Cole and his colleagues on the
republican state ticket, will be emphatic
proof that the republicans Of Mime
sofa are once more united and har-
monious.

Rockefeller and the Beef Barons.

John D. Rockefeller says he don It
know the men who run the beef bust
mes Of the country. never had any deal
ings with them and he seems to expect,
therefore, that he will be accepted as a
neutral witness in their case.
Such oily talk will deceive no one.
Rockefeller did not need to know the
beef men personally or to have deals
with them in order, to establish a
community Of interest. It existed al
ready because Of facts independent of
personal contact. The beef barons and
the oil king were related by a common
desire to evade the law, by a igament
Of rebates, special privileges and under
ground influences. Midnight schedules
and daybreak rebates, fake claims and
private brides gave them a common
viewpoint without their ever having
seen one another.
When the president prosecuted the
beef barons in the courts of Chicago
he wounded Standard Oil in New York,
and when he attacked Standard Oil in
Cleveland he assailed the beef barons
in Chicago. Therefore. Rockefeller g
plea for the beef barons is taken with
several grains Of salt. "

A Curious Coincidence.

There is curious coincidence be-
tween the criticism, by several of the
newspapers, of the state board Of equal
ization for their Wednesday Mime
tonka trip, and the action Of the board
in directing, on their return to st. Paul,
that the Associated Press franchises
be placed upon the assessment rolls
and treated as omitted property. How
ever, it does not appear that the county
auditors Of Ramsey or Hennepin have
overlooked anything in failing to assess
memberships in the Associated Press. If
they ever contemplated assessment Of a
mere membership in mutual, non-pro-
ducing association they have probably
been discouraged against anything Of
that kind by knowledge Of the fact
that the courts have already decided
that membership in the Associated Press
cannot be taxed, for the reason that
that body is not a corporation for the
purpose of paying profits or for selling
news but merely mutual organization
by which the members render service to
each other, without profit to the asso-
citation or to the individuals. 49, ~
There may be some connection, too,
between the fact that only Minneapolis
and st. Paul Associated Press papers
criticized the action Of the board, and
the fact that no account is taken Of
Associated Press memberships in Du-
luth or of Scripps-McRae franchises in
Minneapolis and St. Paul. It is as
sumed that we do not misinterpret facts
when we infer that the criticism Of
the board for the unseemliness of its
Minnetonka iunket reached the spot.

CALAMITY CRIERS

contents in Politics
Journal Special Service,

New York, Oct. 6.-Facing an audi
ence of 5000 men and women, who
waved flags at him, called him tsChar-
ley,' assured him that he would be
the "next governor Of the state" and
sang, patriotic songs, Charles E. Hughes,
republican candidate, for governor,
made his political debut at Carnegie
four minutes long Mr.. Hughes i'm
pressed his audience with his sincerity
OF belief in the SANITY and intelli-
gence of the American people, and
was enthusiastically cheered.
1--WE are neither bourbons nor dema-
gogs,' said Mr.. Hughes. "We stand
opposed to pretense. We stand OPP
posed to a demagogical appeal. We
stand for right conduct in office and
right conduct in obtaining office. We
believe in government Of the people,
we do not believe in fooling the peo-
pie or in exploiting the people. -
ssselling'' the Public. =.
.fThe man that would corrupt public
opinion is the most dangerous enemy
of the states. We talk about the perils
that are incident to concentration Of
wealth; we talk of the perils that
flow on in disregard Of fduciary re-
sponsibility; we talk Of abuses Of privi-
lege; we talk of exploiting the gov
eminent for private advantage; but of
all these menaces, great as they are,
they are nothing compared with the
system Of attempting to pervert the
public Judgment.
Unless I mistake the sentiment Of
this state it will most emphatically
disapprove of the effort to debauch
the public. Judgment by reckless and
by the wide circulation of abuse.
Cannot Be Trusted.
tMen who deal unfairly with the
public must expect the public indig-
nation to be visited upon them. Those
who try to make capital out Of our mis-
fortune and to take that most de-
spicable form Of graft out of our dis
content and our uneasiness and our de-
sire to make things better. those who
are moved by selfish ambition, cannot
be trusted to reform our administra-
ton or revise our laws. 4
Nothing can stop that which is
right, if you only preserve the judg-
ment which can perceive what is right
and distinguish it from what is wrong,
and | appeal to you, fellow citizens,
in every consideration of the demands
for reform, in every consideration of
purity in politics, to abstain from
everything which partakes of unli-
censed censure, to get your thinking
caps. on and really come down to an
effort to see what ought to be done.''

Journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service.
Washington, Oct. 6.-Lloyd c. Girls
com, ambassador Of the United States
to Brazil, has been selected by the pres
ident for the appointment as ambas-
sador to Russia.
Mr.. Griscom was minister to Japan
during the war between Russia and,
Japan, and he did such excellent work
that he was promoted to Brazil when
the post at Rio de Janeiro was raised
to an embassy. Mr.. Griscom aided
Secretary Root SO materially on the
latter's recent South American tour
that it was determined to reward him
further by a transfer to st. Petersburg.
His successor has not yet been deter
mined upon. It is likely that one of
the men now serving as minister, per-
haps Irving B. Dudley who is accredited
to Peru, will be given the place.
