Another. Amendment Roorbach.

+. Do NOT be misled by what the twin
city papers have to say in support of:
the tax amendment. Aside from per-.
uniting churches to hold all kinds of
property not used for church purposes
without paying taxes thereon, the
amendment also repeats the Inheritance
tax law, one of the best ever put on
the statute books; thus, by clever
maneuver, by. a stroke of the pen, as
it were, the struggle of a decade is
thrown to the winds. Why should the
inheritance-tax law be repealed any
more than the gross-earnings tax law9
Vote against it and let the amendment
be resubmitted with; the Objectionable
features stricken out.--St. Peter Free
Press. T,- .|
Here is another roundless argument
against the tax amendment The amend
sment does not repeal or make void "a
single law now on the statute books.
The INTERCHANGEABLE law will still be
valid under the new section, which does
not impose, a single new restriction
Its object is to remove restrictions on
the legislature s action. The amend
ment does not abolish the inheritance
tax any. more than il exempts property
held by churches for investment. IS

T he J ournal is in receipt of a
communication from r. H. Adams, mar
ketmaster, who complains of the present
administration that it has not consist
emily enforced the law with reference to
license fees. The particular complaint is
that peddlers are sometimes allowed to
peddle before they have paid their license
fees in full. Such permits have been
granted under all administrations for a
considerable number of years. It may
be mistake, and probably u.s., to grant
these permits under which licenses are
paid for on the installment PLAN but the
trouble is that the council has fixed the
license fees for street peddlers so high
1t seldom happens that one of them is
able to pay the full amount at one time
This arrangement Of partial payments
has Of late been less frequently resorted
to than formerly, and no valid complaint
can be lodged against the present admin
istration which could not be more ef-
fectively made against the previous one
The issue in any event is not one of Inn
portance as compared with the weighty
questions to be determined next Tuesday,

Judge Gary and the Anarchists.

The sudden death of Judge Gary
in Chicago, after a continuous service
on the bench Of forty-three years,
serves to recall the fact that even in
republics some men attain a position
of mastery over the community which
continues them in responsible place
thru all the strange vicissitudes of poll
tics. Judge Gary was first elected in
1868 and served as a judge up to the
day Of his death. He was usually NOM
mated by both parties, but even when
this did not happen, it was taken for
granted that he would be elected, and
he always was. ...- - ~: 80
The supreme event in Judge Gary's
long Judicial career was the. trial. of
the Haymarket anarchists in 1886. It
was Of course atrial which made the
most of the deep-seated differences be-.
tween Americans. On the one side
were men who held that the anarchists
were being tried for their opinions;
that thru them the freedom of speech
was, being attacked by the element
which distrusted popular institutions.
On the other was the sentiment that
they were bloody assassins who were
seeking to introduce into America the
idea of Russian nihilism. s,.,5, ! VII
Under the circumstances it could not
be but the rulings Of the presiding
judge would be closely watched and the
least bias would be narrowly noted.
Judge Gary ruled fairly but he. ruled
fearlessly and practically took his life
in his hand. When the anarchists were
convicted he sternly sentenced them
to death. He was attacked fiercely as
Q tool Of the aristocrats. but kept 81

Our TWentv-frst.

The Journal did not realize until
last night how big its family had
grown. Twentyone years ago yester-
day the present management, business
and editorial, took charge Of this pa
per. The first issue under the new
management came out on Monday,
Nov. 2, 1885. The anniversary of it's
majority appeared to the management
a good time to get together the en-
ployees and their families for a sort Of
family social function. Some account
Of that interesting affair is given in
the news columns today.
The most gratifying feature Of the
event was the general feeling of loyal
ty and hearty good will, of which 50
many assurances came to the manage
ment from all sides. The Journal
has always enjoyed in an unusual de-
gree the loyalty of its employees; it
has never before felt more distinctly
the heartiness and sincerity of that
feeling; it is exceedingly happy in the
consciousness of its existence and prev
alence turnout the entire establish
ment; and in this connection it is a
pleasure to say that nothing has con-
tributed more to the success of T b 9
Journal as an institution, both from
the standpoint Of it's financial prosper
ity and it's general standing and influ-
ence than this hearty spirit of loyalty
and cooperation which it has enjoyed
for its employees in all departments
from the beginning until now.

Roots Dissection of Hearst.

Secretary Root g speech in New York
ought to have the effect of bringing
the campaign around to sanity and put
ting quietus on the pretensions of
William Randolph Hearst. 1t was a
merciless dissection Of the politics
which strikes hands with Murphy to
abort the courts and at the same time
stridently. proclaims the doctrine of
'" Americanism.
There is an Americanism, as Mr..
Root pointed out, but it is not Hearst
ism. It is not the preachment of the
doctrine Of hate, but of hope; not Of
violence, but Of justice. Incendiarism
and Amerieanism are as far apart as
Russia and the republic Mr.. Hearst
claims to be political descendant of
Lincoln, but in his every utterance he
violates the controlling principle of all

ward none, with charity for all; with

So, too, he denounced Mckinley as a
cowardly poltroon and invited the muir

"A Republican Candidate on a Re
publican Platform.

Under the heading, Clones Not Run
ming as Republican, the Tribune
undertakes editorially to rob Mr.. Jones
of his claim to republican votes as the
head of the republican city ticket. If
Mr.. Jones is not running as a republi-
can, who is? Is it Mr.. Cole, or Mr..
Nye, or Senator Nelson9 Mr.. Jones
went into the republican primaries and
was nominated as the republican candi-
date for mayor by a majority of nearly
one thousand votes. He was nominated
in contest where, owing to the pecu-
liar defects in our primary law, voters
of the opposition party were able to
cast their ballots for republicans, and
it is generally believed that thousands
of them voted against them. In spite
of this opposition, he won. IF the choice
had been left entirely to the republi-
can voters of the city, he would prob
ably have had majority of 5000. He
was undoubtedly the choice of the re-
publican voters alone by that majority.
Mr.. Jones has identified himself abso-
lutely with the republican ticket all
thru the campaign and at every repub-
lican meeting has emphasized common
cause with every other candidate on
the ticket. That he happens to stand
for peculiar issue, something that
does not directly affect the political
fortunes of any other candidate, does
not separate him in any particular from
complete identity with the republican
cause. The issue for which he stands
was the direct issue in the primary.
1T is the issue which has received the
Endorsement Of the republican voters Of
this city No platform ever adopted
by any convention had the sanction and
the authority given to the issue of Sun
day closing by the direct vote of the
republicans Of Minneapolis. It is their
cause. It is party issue. The re-
publican party has Endorsed it and will
stand by it. IF it has drawn to Mr..
Jones the support of people outside of
his party that has no more detractea
from his republication and his essential
character as republican candidate
than has the fact that Mr.. Roosevelt,
standing for great principles and on
record. of things accomplished, has
drawn to himself the support Of almost
the whole people, regardless Of party,
forfeited his standing as a republican.
Nothing but the bitterest hostility
to the cause for which Mr.. Jones stands
and which has received the Endorsement

OF q man who almost as clearly, coun.
seled violence as Parsons, and from
whose advice one dastardly crime did
indirectly arise offering himself for
| ruler Of great state, we cannot but
feel that the anarchists made in mis-
take in not making their propaganda
broad enough. With money and cir
culation and the appearance Of being
defenders of the people against tyran-
ny they might have achieved \as great
and as safe position as Hearst. But
they combined in themselves the .legis-
lative and executive functions Of anar-
chy.. ;. They wrote and distributed the
law of murder and they fashioned and
distributed the instruments of death.
They should have divided their func-
tons; the party making public opinion
should have separated itself from the
faction which hurled the bombs. Then
they might all have escaped and CON
