History is being made in Grand

went from our midst whose last hours
were spent in an established rendez-

the cause of much comment and a
trial in our criminal court

It is terrific cry that is being sent

too much money in mining stocks.
The truth is that Wall street so long

WAKE UP, REPUBLICANS

. We wish we could place copy
of this article in the hands of every
republican voter in Minnesota.
We wish we had a voice powerful
enough SO. that we could stand in
the market place and make a speech
on political duty that would thunder
in the ears of every one of them.
We would we had the power to
cause a political earthquake that
would shake every republican who
has the right to vote, out of the
'lethargy into which he has fallen.
Great political principles are at
stake in the coming campaign.
Powerful interests are at work to
thwart the will of the people.
Republican supremacy in this state
is in danger unless republicans can
be aroused to action. This question
of supremacy will be decided when
the caucusses of the party are held
on June second. 1t is just as much
the sacred duty of every republican
in the state to attend those caucusses
as it was for our fathers to volunteer
to fight the nations battles in 1851
1865. 1t is not only their duty to
attend but it is their duty TO discuss
candidates and principles and see to
it that men are sent to the county
conventions that represent the men
the majority stand for. See to it
that the delegates to the Duluth
convention represent men and
principles and not interests. If
this result can be- attained the
election in November will be a
ratification meeting instead Of a
doubtful battle.

Bath and Beauty.

It is necessary for a person to take
as good care of the body as the face to
obtain the clear, healthy complexion SO
much desired by all. A cold bath every
morning for very vigorous persons, or
once or twice a week, and thoroughly
rubbing with a coarse towel or flesh
brush mornings when the bath is not
taken, for the less robust is necessary
to keep the functions Of the skin in
health and very invigorating. After
warm baths at night dash of cold
water will prevent chills. Clothing
worn during the day should never be
slept in, and that worn at night should
be exposed during the day to the air.
Quantities of moisture filed with the
waste of the body are given off every
day and mostly absorbed by clothing.
Exposure to air and sunlight purifies
the clothing and bedding of the poisons
which nature is trying to get rid OF and
which would otherwise be brought
again in contact with the body. By
following these healthful everyday d.
rections and taking equally good care
of the face you will soon notice de-
cided Improvement in the tone of your
whole system.

ing Mr.. Jacobson, although we
have a popular and able candidate
hailing from the sixth congressional
district. We.do it simply because
in our opinion Mr.. Jacobson will
make the better governor and that
his nomination and election will be
better for the party and state than
that of any other man and not on
account of his nationality or place
of residence. :
Let us all be patriotic for once.
Let us fight fair, fight hard and
fight continuously from now on till
convention time for our "favorite
son." We can't and won't all
choose the same favorite but let us
base our choice on record, character,
ability and availability throughout
the whole state and not on some
particular locality. Then when the
convention has rendered it's decision
and some ssfavorite son" has been
named let us make him the ''favorite
son" of all. Then let us build a
huge council fire on the Duluth
campus and tie up all our bitterness,
differences, chickering's and feuds
into fagots aid cast them into the
flames. Let us awaken again the
chivalric spirit of our sires of early
republican days when personal
preferences, personal advancement
and personal advantage were as
naught when weighed against the
common good of the party and the
advancement of it's cause.
Then, will we march to victory
unparalleled to the inspiring strains
of that old song that the Hutchinson
brothers sang throughout the length
and breadth Of the nation in the old
abolition days, "We are band of
Brothers.

We are not going to defend the
practice. 1t is wholly wrong in
theory. 1t is not the function of
the government to invade the
domain of private business except
to prevent extsrtion and that should
be accomplished by legislation and
not by the government going into
business itself. The government
should do nothing for the individual
that he can do for himself nor

"fAvORIIE SONS"

The ssfavorite son" idea is all
right provided a man becomes a
'sfavorite son" by reason of honesty,
integrity and commanding ability
and not by reason of residence in
any particular state. congressional
district or county. Webster was a
ssfavorite son" of Massachusetts
but it was because the people Of
Massachusetts believed he was the
ablest man of his time and not
simply because he happened to
reside in the state. Clay was the
idol of Kentucky and thousands of
the stern and bearded sons of old
Kentuck wept scalding tears, for
the first and only time after reach
ing manhood, when he failed for
the presidency. He was idolized
for his character and attainments
and not on account of his place of
abode. Hundreds of men in
Kentucky could not have obtained
a single vote for the same Office.
In this campaign at the present
time the s'favorite son" cry has
reached the point of the ridiculous.
Newspapers of the seventh district
are urging Jacobson's nomination
because he resides in the seventh
district. The first district papers
or some of them are urging Lord
and Diment for the same reason,
and SO on throughout the state. II
these papers honestly believe that
their ssfavorite son" would make
the best governor this is all right
and the proper thing to do. Il
they are doing it simply because he
resides in their congressional
district they are stultifying them
selves. The Herald is support

MARVELLOUS WISDOM.

Most of the time since Frank
Eddy left congress he has been
challenging Congressman McCleary
of Mankato, to joint debate on
the tariff question. The Mankato
man has finally heard him and now
offers to meet Eddy. McCleary
SAYS he stands with Roosevelt on
the tariff question. He suggests
that Gatterson, who is candidate
against McCleary, also join in the
coming debate. If Eddy or
Gutterson were in congress they
would probably follow about the
same plans McCleary has.-Little
Falls Transcript.
The editor of the Little Falls
Transcript possesses a mine OF in
formation. He knows more things
that are not so than any man in the
profession although some plain
facts have escaped his attention.
We did not challenge Mr.. McCleary
to a Joint discussion at any time or
place. We never challenged a man
to joint discussion in our life and
never expect to If we were in the
challenging business Mr.. McCleary
is the last man to whom we would
issue def. There are few speakers
in the country that are his equal in
debate. His great scholarly attain
ments, his mastery jugglery of
statistics, his fecundity of language,
his command of detail, his superb
self-complacency and his unmatch-
able elusiveness make him an
exceeding formidable antagonist in
discussion. We are free to confess
that we are no match for Mr..
McCleary as debater. 1t is well
known that he and / hold views at
variance on the question of tariff
and reciprocity. Knowing this,
Frank E. Ellickingson, a mutual
friend of both, wrote us and
inquired if we would meet Mr..
McCleary in friendly discussion
as to these questions at the Fari-
bault County fair and we replied
that we would be glad to do so and
stated plainly the terms on which
we would hold the same. If these
terms are accepted we will gladly
do so. We believe in joint discus
sion. In our judgment a man is
not fitted for representative
position unless he is capable of
maintaining his views on all
occasions, in joint discussion on the
floor of the house or in any other
manner.

these plain common sense principles
of business were followed by the
government our governmental
expenses would be cut down one
thiEd.
Yet, as long as these principles
are violated in every governmental
transaction, we can not understand
why ssfree seeds should be selected
as a special object of attack for
much can be said in their favor.
The practice establishes a pleasant
medium of connection between the
representative and his constituents.
There are hundreds of thousands of
gardens in existence today that
would not exist if it had not been
for free seeds.
1t stimulates the seed industry.,
At one time we sent package of
seeds to every farmer in county.
We made special inquiry of every
seed dealer in that county how it
affected the seed trade and to our
surprise we found they had sold 25
per cent more seeds that year than
ever before and had sold them to
numerous parties that had never
before purchased.
The government runs a wholesale
print shop. Anyone who will
purchase ten thousand stamped
envelopes from it can have dona-
ton of $500 worth of printing free.
This free printing costs every
country printing office in the
United States from $1,000 to S75. 90
annually.
To every man, woman and child
that sends pound of second class
post office matter the government
makes him present of two cents
and this donation amounts to
millions of dollars every year. The
railroads derive more revenue from
postal cars than from any other
cars in their service and they use
any old kind of cars for mail cars.
1t would occupy volumes to specify
instances of graft in governmental
affairs that makes the seed business
look microscopic, without any of
it's redeeming features, yet not half
the howl has been made in relation
to them as has been made in regard
to free seeds. 1t is peculiarly
characte ristic of the American
people that becomes SO frenzied
over molehills of iniquity that
they fail to notice mountains of
corruption. a. .s.Gn
