WANT TO HEAR FROM HAYNES.

VIII the present chief executive OF
Minneapolis succeed himself, or will
the next mayor of Minneapolis be the
Hon. James c. Haynes? That is d
question soon to be decided, but lot
until the voters have had an oppor-
tunity to judge fairly and impartially
upon the merits of the men who have
been nominated for this important
position. In & manner, this is made
easy, from the fact that both have
served the city in this capacity. The
Irish Standard believes that majority
of the voters of Minneapolis are anx-
ious for change of administration.
Thousands of votes were cast in the
recent primary election for Mayor
Jones on the sole ground that these
voters were unwilling to align them
selves with those who support viola
ton of law. Mayor Jones has re-
ceived credit for doing that which
he was forced to do. 1t should
be remembered that it was only after
many months of his administration
that the Sunday saloon was closed,
and then only when the strongest kind
of pressure was brought to bear. Since
that time the Attorney General of the
State has rendered an opinion in which
he says that any executive officer of
city Of this state who refuses or
neglects to enforce the state law in
reference to the saloon can be re-
moved from office for such neglect.
Under such circumstances there should
be no serious issue upon that question.
The attitude of Mr.. Haynes should
be understood at the beginning.
Neither he nor his supporters should
hesitate. The people want Mr.. Haynes
but in choosing him they do not want
to be understood as voting In favor
of law violation. They want an assur-
ance that If they vote for him
that they are not voting in favor
of an arbitrary disregard of state laws
and city ordinances. There should be
no issue of this kind before the people.
Mayor Jones, who is the choice of
minority Of the voters of this city,
should not be elected because of misun-
Outstanding. The course of Mr.. Haynes
upon this matter should be made clear
at the outset of the campaign.
1t is well known that there have
been more crimes of violence commit
ted in this city during the past eight
cen months than in any other five
years preceding. We believe the ma
jority of voters in the city of Min
neapolis take no stock in the cry of
civic righteousness" that has been
raised throughout the city. but they
are unwilling to be classified with those
who advocate open disregard of state
and city law. The false cry Of civic
righteousness" should not be allowed
to make this large class Of voters take
their stand upon the side Of insincerity
and falsehood. Hypocrisy should not
be allowed to prevail because its OPP
ponents evade and hesitate. Mr..
Haynes, the voters Of this city want
to know what you will do If elected.
They have a right to know. We be-
lieve they are awaiting only word
from you to make a final decision now
of the outcome of the municipal con-
test in this city.

The Democratic campaign in this
county was opened on last Wednesday
evening by Frank D. Larrabee, candi-
date for congress, at large meeting
in the First ward. 1t was an aus
picious opening. Mr.. Larrabee's adj
dress was exceedingly we'll received
and has created a good impression
throughout the county. He hewed
close to Democratic policies and ia
clear and concise language pointed out
the issues of the campaign. If there
was any doubt in any quarters that
Mr.. Larrabee would make strong
and worthy candidate his speech in
the First ward ought to remove that
doubt 1t may be safely asserted right
now that he will receive more than
the Democratic vote of this county.

NOTOR CAR OTTLAMN

There is a distinction, with a difference, be-
tween those who break a law through cara
lessness, Indifference or inadvertence or at
least with care that nobody shall be directly
injured, and those who do with malice aforc-
thought and with deliberate attempt TO do harm.
To the latter class we must now apparently
add some-we trust a very few-automobilists,
such as those who early in the week made
the dastardly attempt TO run down aud wreck
the car of Senator Frelinghuysen, of New Jer-
sey. and IN so doing put the three occupants
Of the car IN imminent peril of death. Their
animus was, Of course, evident. They hate Mr..
Frelnghuysen because of his authorship of law

pensities Their act In wilfuly running against

Many efforts have been made to discredit Mr..

thought OF consulting his own personal COM

he must incur if he pursued the task on which

THE FLAG ON uoUyT rKJy1Fy

No detail OF the story which DR.. Cook tells Of
his recent exploits IN Alaska will give more
pleasure than the statement that the instant
he reached the summit Of Mount Mckinley he
raised the Stars and Stripes. Unless some ac-
cident has happened since he left the spot, the
flag now floats from the lOftiest eminence in
North America. In his spirited verses about
Old 1ronsldes Oliver Wendell Holmes said that
many an eye has danced TO see that banner
in the sky" SO, too, the mere thought Of the
American ensign waving from a natural flag
staff four miles high will quicken the pulses Of
those Of DR.. Cooks fellow countrymen who
have not outgrown their patriotism.
The flag constitutes a peculiarly appropriate
memento Of the Brooklyn explorers achieve
ment He did not extend the sovereignty Of
the United. States over region not hitherto
ruled from Washington, but he demonstrated
in truly remarkable, If not an unparalleled,
manner what American pluck and perseverance
can accomplish If we are not mistaken, Sir

and Mrs. Workman have won their most notable
successes with the aid of trained Alpine guides
DR.. Cook seems TO have relied on his own skill
and experience alone. In the realm of advent
ure which he thus invaded he seems to have
made conquest which is unmatched and to
have placed America ahead of every other ma
