Republican Support Due Mr.. Col,

Governor John A. johnson sounds the
praises of President Roosevelt as a mat
ter of good policy and it is bid for re-
publican votes. But as Governor John
son has endorsed William Jennings Bry-
an and his position on national ques-
tions, it must be taken for granted that
he will move heavsn and earth to bring
about the election of the Nebraskan to
the presidency, in case he should be nom
mated for that honor.
Governor johnson is democrat and if
reelected he will adhere strictly to the
policy of his party-"that to the victors
belong the spoils." No republican can
hope to receive favors at his hands,
and the work of constructing demo-
cratic machine will proceed with alac-
lrity. Are the republicans going to lend
their assistance to this enterprise? We
should hope not.
The republicans have candidate for
governor who is deserving of their sup
PolC anu lHcii NOleS ou clcCIlou udy
No good reason can be set forth why
A. L. Cole should not be elected. He
is capable man, an efficient man, an
honest man, man who has accomplished
something for the people. His legisla-
tive record is one which should inspire
confidence and bring to his aid the back
ing of all progressive citizens.
Mr.. Cole is not attempting to deceive
the voters. He does not parade before
them as non-partisan candidate for
governor. He is proud of the distinction
of being the republican candidate for
sgovernor and believes sincerely in the
principles of the party which has given
him the nomination. However, if elected,
he will give every man a square deal.
He will seek to promote the interests
of all sections of Minnesota He will
be- the governor for all the people Mr..
Cole stands for the enactment and en-
forcement of laws that will rid the peo-
pie of corporate control. He wears no
mans collar. He is bound by no ties
to any individual nor any clique. He
will be free to conduct the affairs of this
state without submitting to the dicta-
ton of an O'Connor and his henchmen.
The nomination for governor having
been rendered Mr.. Cole in manner free
from faint, republicans are in duty bound
to give him the election by an over
whelming majority. Minnesota is a
republican state and the management of
its affairs should be in the hands of re-
publican officials. The state has devel-
oped grandly under the wise rule of the
republican party. 1t has grown rich un-
der the guiding hand of republican gov
errors and Legislatures. With man of
Mr.. Coles broad views and business abil-
ity at the helm this commonwealth will
still further be enriched, its population
increased and its influence given wider
scope.

Record of Two Candidates.

Hon. A. L. Coles record as a member
OF the legislature is open to the voting
public. So is that of Hon. A. o. Eber-
hart. Both have had much to do with
the wise and beneficial laws that are to
be found on the statute books of this
state.
Referring to the record of these two
men, The Minneapolis Journal says that
it is significant that the republicans of
Minnesota have nominated for governor
and lieutenant governor two men closely
associated with the reform record of the
legislature for the past four years. Fol
it is ON that record that the republican
party mainly relies to show that it is a
party of progress and achievement. The
Legislatures of 1908 and 1905, particu-
larly the latter, accomplished a tremen-
dous amount of work, and packed more
important progressive legislation into
their sessions than almost any preceding
decade of law-making labor.
Some of the most important results
of their work may be summed up as
follows:
The per cent gross earnings law,
which adds 100000 year to the
states revenue.
Submission of taxation amendment to
the constitution, paving the way for
up-to-date tax legislation.
Investigation of freight rates, result.
ing recently in sweeping reductions in
merchandise, coal and grain rates.
New laws clothing the railroad com
mission with full power to regulate rail-
road rates and charges.
A complete revision of the statutes.
Progressive pure food laws, protecting
consumers from fraud and unwholesome
adulteration.
A law taxing inheritances, which is
bringing many thousands into the treas
ury.
A state good roads law, administered
by non-partisan highway commission.
University and normal schools re-
moved from board of control.
Bucket shops wiped out.
State land laws amended to encourage
purchase by settlers.
immigration bureau established.
Comprehensive drainage survey provid-
ed and carried out.

st. Peter from whence the following
morning Mr.. Blair started to walk to

Upon the wagon was loaded stove,

load, upon which the bride was perched,

A Keen Retort.

General Jubal Early was as keen
sometimes with his tongue as he was
with his sword for the southern Con-
federacy. The Pittsburg Dispatch H.
lustrates this by the following Incl
dent:
In the summer Of 1877 General Ju-
hal A. Early was guest at the Ar
lington hotel, Hot Springs, Arkansas.
Among the other notables stopping
there was the somewhat famous ex-
Governor Stearhs of. Florida, who had
been recently appointed by President
Hayes ii commissioner to adjust the
claims Of citizens of Hot Springs who
had improved real estate which was
afterward decided to belong to the
national government. r. One day the
two gentlemen, who had no personal
acquaintance, met in the hotel office.
General Early" said Stearns,
politely, "you ought to bo willing to
shake hands with me. You owe me
an arm," and he indicated his empty
sleeve. $50" ..
"How is that, governor7" queried
Early, at the same time extending his
hand.

The Professional Woman.

Lie opeclapOf.
The qualities which go to make up
the different types of feminine char.
acter alter with the times, not, Of
course, in kind, but in proportion. In
the professional woman of today VIC
see new development. Two charac-
teristics hitherto inconspicuous have
come to the front-independe and
the desire for definite work. BY this
independence we mean something far
wider than the mere wish to have her
own way, and by this industry some
thing far more active than mere dis.
like or disapproval of idleness. We
mean that she has these qualities in
an unnatural, we had almost said Sit
pernatural degree. TO borrow Mat
thew Arnold's phrase, her industry
and her independence are "touched
with emotion.' There is no more re-
marliable sign Of the times than the
contrast that is presented by the
Early Victorian woman Of the Goth
century who makes hers.
The gcntlewoman of so years ago
who could not afford to do nothing
had only one thing she could do. She
must perforce teach children, a task
for which she had often no aptitude,
and generally no training. She was
in the position of dependent chosen,
not on the ground Of proficiency, but
on the ground of character. No prizes
cleaned before her eyes, she had no
d field for her ambition. From social
pleasures and chances Of marriage
she was almost entirely cut off,
Naturally a sensible woman did not
set out to earn her bread if she could
help it. Nowadays hundreds are earn
ing it from choice. In the intellectual
division Of the middle class the wo-
men considerably outnumber the men,
The chance Of seeing daughter past
her girlhood single woman with
nothing to do is prospect which af-
frights many fathers and mothers. A
good education is cheap, chedper than
a bad one. The girls public day
schools prepare pupils--or give them
the chance Of preparing themselves
for many Of the tests which fence of
the arena of the professional woman
It is true that the training for many
careers-notably that Of doctor
is still expensive; but the average
prosperity Of middle-class parents has
greatly increased during the last half.
century, and they argue that a lump
sum is not barely expended on very
good chance Of competence.
The professional woman has in
creased the pace, but she works, SC
to speak, upon the same terms. He1
work is never out of her mind. This
does not mean that shei s always {
bore. Very few people are bores upor
their own subject; at least, they can
not compete as bores with those wht
have none. Very often she Is an en-
tertaining talker, for her training en-
