What DOES REpUBLICANISM STAND FOR?

We were asked on the street this
week what republicanism and the
republican party stood for.
The old settlers of this city, will
remember that in the fall of 1867
Hon. Sam Beeman, the fiery little
bunch back statesman from St.
Charles, Mimi, delivered political
address in the building now occu.
pied by Hanson & Emerson as a
drug store. We were boy of IL
years of age, and it was the first
political speech we ever listened to-.
A man from the audience inquired,
"What does republicanism stand
for?" With flashing eyes the
orator replied:
"Republicanism stands for the
country and the country's flag
against all enemies within and
without; for absolute equality of all
persons before the law; for the
right of every legal voter to cast
his vote and have it counted if
it takes every dollar in the treasury
and every able-bodied man in the
nation to protect him in that right;
for an equal distribution of the ma
TONS favors, and an equal division
of the nations burdens among all
it's citizens; for honesty in admins
tration of public affairs; for recti-
tude and righteousness in the per-
Torrance of public duties for right
and justice; nothing more and
nothing less"
In our judgment this declaration
of what republicanism stands for
never has been and never can be
improved upon, and if it stands for
anything else the sooner republi.
canism becomes a reminescence the
better.

the United States, make, in eight
years. association with him.
Governor La Toilette, a republi-
can senator from Wisconsin, in a
three days speech, makes more
sweeping and startling charges of
corruption and extortion against
railroads and corporations than we
ever listened to from the lips of
Jerry Simpson, the sockless popu'
listic statesman from Kansas.
Next comes G. S. Dunbar, a re-
publican candidate for state senator
in the good old republican county
of Fsribault, and offers as the prin-
cipal plank in his platform, "the
absolute confiscation of all property
not listed for taxation" which is
a more radical statement than we
ever heard the wild-eyed, long
haired Lentz, the social-democratic
congressman from Ohio make, and
he made some very radical ones.
Is it any wonder that we are
puzzled? Is it strange that voters
are at sea? Is it strange that not
only the editor of the H er d but
a lot of other good men need a
diagram so we can tell what party
we belong to? Who are the con-
servatives in these days? What
does the Grand Old Party stand for
today? Who is authorized to pro-
claim it's principles? Will Mr..
Whiteman furnish diagram?

WANTED-A DIAGRAM

We loaned the last copy of the
Sank Centre Herald to the socialist
club of this city.-Ortonville
Herald-Star.
We have beer charged with al
most everything in the line of politi-
cal fads and foolishness, but this is
the first time that we have ever
been accused of socialistic tenden-
cies. Still the charge may be
something more than mere vaporing.
To tell the truth, we hardly know
where we are at, and we would like
some one to furnish us a diagram,
and we know of no one more COM

Science of Weed Control.

The problem of keeping down weeds
in the corn field is great one as the
more weeds the less corn. The best
way to keep them down is to never
allow them to attain any size. The
ground should be worked with disc
or harrow thoroughly before planting
the corn. The ground should then be
narrowed before the corn comes up
and again when the corn is only few
inches high. Then it should be cult
waited often enough to keep weeds
down until the corn is so high that it
is not possible to use the two-horse
cultivator. If the season is wet or
heavy rains come after that, use the
five-tooth one-horse cultivator the
straight way. Wild morning glories
are hard to kill out unless thu corn is
plowed in the fall to be put in wheat
way is to have the ground in first class
condition before sowing the seed, and
then SOW enough seed to keep down
the weeds. In case they do appear in
sufficient numbers and get ahead OF
the small grain they can be clipped
off with a mower. The weeds that are
making the most trouble in our fields
are rag weed, bitter dock, wild lettuce,
smart weed and common thistle. Very
little attention is paid to the state law.
Our highways furnish the best place
for weeds to spread. Sweet clover is
becoming very common on our road
sides.-C w. vnn, Pike Co., ILL.,, in

MuIchinq Potatoes.

For nearly fifteen years have been
engaged in growing stock, wheat, corn
and potatoes, making potato growing
by the mulching process a speciality.
l have grown potatoes by mulching
continually for A years. The most
serious objection to successful mulch
ing is the self-feeder and wind straw
stacker. Straw so thrashed is not so
good for mulching as is that thrashed
in the old way. In the first place the
straw is cut up so fine you can very
easily get too much of it on potatoes.
Another much more serious objection
Is that there is too much good as
well as imperfect wheat blown all
over the straw rick. No one can ex-
pect good yield of potatoes where
there is too much volunteer wheat
growing. If conditions are not changed
1t will be necessary to have large
latticed table built on a sled form and
the straw all rehandled, so that the
wheat will be sifted out. In this part
OF central Ohio, with it's droughty sea-
sons and extreme heat, it will be more
profitable to have the clean straw for
mulching purposes.

order to increase our wealth and
population.
But as yet, intoxicated by our
prosperity, we have made no halt
in our mad race of extravaganza,
private or public, but halt must
be called. The individual must
look more closely after his dollars
and economy must be the watch
word in public business. The bill
payers must get busy or they will
find themselves without the where
withal to pay their bills. 1t is time
for the voters of the state to awaken
to the fact that they foot the bills
and not the officials who make the
appropriations. 1t is time Tor
them to realize that they pay the
salaries of public officials and that
they are entitled to a dollars worth
of service for every dollar paid out.
1t is time for the bill payers of the
state to put men IN public places,
who realize that service is demanded
and not frills and ornamentation.
1t is time for the bill payers to
raise the cry, Gail needed cash for
service but not cent for style"
The demand today is for lumber
wagon statesmen who can haul
loads and not automobile solons
who only exist for pleasure. The
bill payers must get busy in politics
or 60 into bankruptcy.
During all the times of reckless
expenditure to which we have
referred there always was one voice
in the halls of Legislation that was
always calling for economy but
never for parsimony, voice that
demanded necessities but cried out
against frivolities, voice that de-
clared that whenever the state sold
property it should get what it was
worth, voice that shouted from
the house tops that whenever the
state granted franchise the
franchise receivers should pay the
value of the same in an undiscrimi-
mating, competent and complete
public service. 1t was not always
a pleasant voice, sometimes it
sounded harsh and discordant but
that same voice has saved to the
bill payer more money and to the
citizens of the state more rights and
privileges than any voice that has
sounded inI Minnesota Legislative
halls for the last twenty-five years.
1t was the voice of j. +. Jacobson,
the rough and ready legislator from
Lac qui Parle.
The Herald therefore takes
pleasure in presenting J. F.
jacobson of Minnesota as the bill
payers candidate for governor and
as far as our limited influence goes
supporting him for this position.

Hon. George Sommerville of

accept the nomination for governor
if the convention at Duluth tenders
it to him, and that he will stand on
the platform there adopted.
Doesn't that jar you? Here is a
man that has nerve enough to pro-
claim that the delegates that will
be selected by the republican voters
of Minnesota will have sense enough
to select candidate satisfactory to
the republicans of the state and to
adopt platform that will represent
their sentiments.

ENGLISH vARsITIEs REFUSE.
Oxford Cambridge Oarsmen viii Not
Come to America.

Oxford and Cambridge boating rep
resentatives have replied to the invi-
tation to come to America to row the
winner of the Harvard-Yale race, and
to Judge by the reply, the appearance
of the Blues on this side of the water
Is about as remote as the advent of
the millennium. They will not come
here, at least until some American
college crew goes across and beats
them on their own water, and experts
on both sides of the Atlantic have
admitted that such an event is a long
way off. AS the conditions stand
now, it would be an u%ndignified pro-
ceeding for the Englishmen, they
think, to come to America on a jun
keting trip. Since the Harvard-Cam-
bridge match last fall the idea of an
annual affair between the English
men and Americans and on much the
same lines has been discussed, and it
seemed to meet with universal favor
here, but not 81 on the other side.
The English college man rows for his
own amusement and for the fun
there is in a match against a rival
college, but beyond that he does not
care to go, and If he does go on the
outside, the limit is one of the boat
clubs on the Thames which he repre-
sents at Henley.
Time and again the crews of Ok
ford and Cambridge have been invit-
ed here and there, but all these man
ifestations of hospitality have been
gracefully declined. In the latest is
sue of the Field, a former Blue who
has been prominent in the rowing
world speaks of the American invita-
tion thus:
The universal boat clubs are to be
congratulated upon the response
which they have made to a proposal
which reached them last Monday.
from certain American promoters of
aquatic sport. The scheme propoun-
ded to them was that an engagement
should be made between the two boat
clubs of oxford and Cambridge OF
the one hand, and Harvard and Yale
the other, that the next winners
of the annual matches between these
pairs of clubs should meet in a regat-
ia to be held in the United States. |
The proposal, | understand, furtherl
an offer of hospitality DUR
ing their training ,sojourn in the
states from an American club to the
eight which should be representing
Britain. This has been uncondition-
ally declined with thanks, and upon
sound grounds. In the first place,
aside for the moment the re-
gatta feature in the program as UNI
the two British clubs would
been justified in declining to
the ocean even for a private
and the winners as between
Harvard and Yale. When the minor
of the American scheme come
20 be examined there appear to be
very strong and absolutely independ-
ent reasons for approving of the re-
ply of our two university boat clubs.
One a well realize that it would be

railways of the locality of a regatta
in the states, to be able to advertise
that the winning university eight of
the old and the new countries were
engaged to compete.
For the universities to lend them
selves to a project of this sort and to
allow themselves to be advertised
as showmen's wares in a foreign
country would be a degradation of
their flags and of amateur sport. Even
if the ashes of amateur aquatics had
to be sought for in America and SUI
premacy had left Britain, the present
project would not be one which self
respecting amateurs could for n
moment entertain as a means of re-
gaining lost honors. Their task, un-
der such circumstances, would be to
arrange a private match with their
late conquerors, and to bear them
selves all the expense of the journey
to meet their rivals. A fortiori, SO
long as they hold the premiership
would they decline to be parties to
any project so undignified. For sew
eral reasons, if ever, 1t should be
proposed that Cambridge or Oxford
should, as a matter of reciprocity and
entente cordiale, while remaining un-
beaten at home, send crews over sea
for return matches, with Harvard
and Yale, the invitation ought to be
politely declined and | cannot believe
that American university clubs will
fail to realize to the full the existing
reasons for such a decision or would
take umbrage at a refusal. AS one
of the present U. B. c. presidents is
reputed to have very properly eX-
planned, in reply to this American re-
gatta scheme, the offer appears to be
found upon a m~isconception of the
status and raison d'otre of British
university boat clubs. They are not
theatrical companies, nor are they
organized as business concerns, but
exist wholly and solely for the ad-
vancement of a special branch of am /
ateur athleticism and one in which
for the present, they have the honor |
of holding the premiership contra |
