Bryan on Dreams.

W. J. Bryan Is not often humorous
in his speeches, tho he occasionally
deals in sarcasm. When he came home
during the late campaign he learned
that Senator .Beveridge had made a
speech in Lincoln and had said some
nice things about him, but winding up
with the statement that Bryan was
dreamer. Mr.. Bryan replied in an ad-
dress in which he said he had looked
up the subject Of dreams and dream
ers and had learned from the Bible
that Joseph was one Of the greatest
dreamers on record. Joseph was sold
by his brethren and cast into a pit, but
his, brothers afterwards bought corn of
him. Mr.. Bryan was of the opinion
that the republicans might yet buy
corn of the democrats.
Years ago, he said, the democrats
dreamed Of tariff reform and told the
republicans about it. They said it was
not real dream, it was a nightmare.
But now, he said, referring to Bever-
idge's remarks on revision, they are
beginning to have dreams of the same
kind. Beveridge had one while Fair
banks did not, but Beveridge had the
advantage of Fairbanks: the vice presi-
dent was taller and could not get his
ear to the ground as easily. -

INCREASING LEAD
Governor johnson and the Amendments
=. . Still Run Well.

!. The wide-open tax amendment has
received 64,559 votes, Of total vote
of III ,903, cast in forty-six counties
that have reported to TIL journal.
This puts the amendment about $500
votes ahead Of the majority necessary,
in the counties heard from. The good
roads amendment is running very
close, and may be lost, but the ped
dlers' privilege amendment runs
strong, getting big majorities every
where. ...gs. -

votes, of which 1929 were cast for. the
tax, amendment, and Marshall county
reports a total of 2,710 votes, of which
1896 are for the amendment. It ran
a little behind in Blue Earth, getting
2,619 votes out of total of 5,39S, but
Todd county comes in strong with 9, 122
votes out of 3,697, and Hubbard also
shows up strong with 1,094 votes out
Of 1858.
Governor Johnson's lead is increased
by the complete vote of Marshall
county, which gives Cole I'll and John
son 1850. Hubbard county's official
vote shows it rather close, with S2S
for Cole and 1871 for Johnson. John
sons plurality now stands at 70,762.

GOALS FROM THE FIELD

"A couple of San Francisco doctors
with whom, business has been dull since
the earthquake, have put in their time
studying electricity, human and other
wise. AS a result of, their, experiments
they claim to have demonstrated that
the human body is full Of electricity,
and that it can be drawn out, strung on
wires and carried about in storage bat
teries.7 = They first, tapped man by
causing him to swallow two electrodes
until they came in contact with the walls
Of the stomach. The swallowing. of the
electrodes was a matter of considerable
difficulty. For long time they could
not find man capable Of retaining
them on his stomach. Finally they lit
upon gentleman who had bolted9 all
the statements in the democratic cam
paign book and had bet money they
would be realized. This person had no
difficulty in swallowing anything, and
the electrodes proved quite palatable to
him after what he had been gulping
down. Immediately human electricity
began to flow thru the wires, making au-
dible sounds. The measurement was
seven millivolts. After a short rest the
subject was given a drink Of whisky and
the experiments were resumed. This
time the. galvanometer registered fifteen
millivolts, distinct gain in one precinct
Of eight millivolts. The doctors were de-
lighted So was the, subject, It seemed
| to him that there was a future for him
in going from office to office offering
himself for experiment and whisky.
The fact that electricity circulates
thru the human. body had been known,
but the important thing these doctors
have shown is that it is not. merely a
passenger. 1T is a resident Of the human
system It Is generated there, and the
product can be increased or diminished
by the food or drink supplied to. the
stomach. Whisky, it apepars, doubles
the output of K human electricity. This
discovery is worth everything else. It
shows that our topers have all along
been right in their clinging to eye-open-
ers. Prohibitionists have been deceiying
us. They have prepared charts showing
that whisky corroded the walls of the
stomach, knocking them about until
they look like one of those unretouched
|old masters. There is nothing sadder
In pictorial art than the prohibition
etching of a, human stomach saturated
with whisky. 1t looks like the returns
from a district where there was not
single straight ticket voted. And now
to have the truth come out before every
body had been scared from the use Of
whisky is a relief. Hereafter the scien-
tlhc\ man will know that all he has to do
Is to carry with him a flask of whisky
and couple of electrodes. If he wants
strength he will take whisky and con-
meet himself with a gearing which will
take him up the steepest HILL II he is
In the dark a spoonful Of whisky, and
presto, a five-candle power light will
shoot from his own person.
Hereafter every man his own lighting
plant. With free alcohol. there no rea-
son for anybody to be In the dark. But
+ It will kill off the Sunday closing move
ment. We cannot be without light and
heat on the Sabbath. ~. G.

The government has found upon fur
ther Investigation that the corn crop Of
the United States this year is 1881 ,096,-
900 bushels. It was predicted earlier
in the year by private investigators,
and indicated by government tables of
averages covering conditions, that 1906
would bring to the country a produc
ton. of the yellow cereal great beyond
anything before known. Last year IS
outturn was a record yield to that time,
but 1906 has overtopped 1t by close to
175, 100000 bushels. Thus in this one
crop there has been production Of new
wealth that may be set down as approx
mating $7o,O0o,ooO and this most i'm
portant promise for continued activity
and prosperity has materialized in full
While it is true that the country i'm
mediate.y tributary to Minneapolis is
not corn country; as production goes
in that great crop, there is neverthe-
less considerable quantity produced
when comparisons with other states are
dropped and the production considered
with reference to it's size and value
only. Minnesota has over 100000
bushels this year and South Dakota will
run above 55,ooo,ooo. North Dakota
makes a poor showing in corn, and
100000 to 100000 bushels is ,proba-
bly, as much as she can show, but that
is no reflection upon that great agricul-
tural state. North Dakota is not
much on corn, but when it comes to
wheat and that wonderful crop, flax,
that runs into big money, North Dakota
lays over the other states.

The Captains of Labor.

It is an impressive fact that the three
hundred delegates to p. the American
/ Federation of Labor convention which
resent the aspirations Of 100000
American workingmen. The chief of
those aspirations and the one which
gives potency to the federation idea
in trades unionism is higher stand
ard of living. For q quarter of a cen
fury the unions Of America have been
thus federated, achieving a fraternity
and solidarity among :" organized men,
that was lacking before that. The
growth Of unionism under such slim
illus has naturally been great. .Prac-
tically all of the skilled trades and
many of the unskilled ones have been
thoroly organized and affiliated. Ri
walls organized, on different basis, like
the knights Of Labor, have practically
disappeared and the American Fedora
on this continent. (
For fortnight Minneapolis is to be
honored by the presence of these cap
tains of labor, who will strive by de-
BATE counsel and conference to solve
some of the constantly recurring prob
lens that arise in the world of work.
Such problems as have to do with their
own interrelations will, Of course, be
settled in true American fashion by
the arbitrament of the vote. And the
conservative wisdom that has hitherto
as a rule marked the Federation's pol
Icy in pushing the solution Of external
problems will doubtless characterize it's
decisions in Minneapolis.
President Gompers, in his annual re-
port yesterday, stoutly justified the ac-
tion of the Federation's officers in
making an lncursion into congressional
politics in the recent campaign. This
seems to portend discussion of the SUBJ
ject by the Federation. Whatever may
be the delegates opinions on the wis
dom of projecting trades union ques-
tions into political campaigns, there
can be no doubt Of organized labor g
right to raise such issues. Business
men do not hesitate to demand pledges
4 of congressional candidates on matters
affecting commerce, nor to oppose can
didates representing ideas inimical to
their interests. The tariff is largely
business issue, and upon that issue
manufacturers have gone into politics
many time and oft. The possession
of the ballot carries with it the right
to demand pledges from any candidate
for office and the right to launch an
organized opposition upon him who re-
]. fuses the desired pledges. Labor was
thus entirely within it's rights when it
entered the campaign against Speaker
Cannon, Representative Littlefeld and
others. While there is no question of
the propriety of such action, there may
be a serious question as to it's wisdom
But this is a family matter for the
Federation itself to pass upon.
Meanwhile, Minneapolis, acting in
her favorite role of hostess, welcomes
the representatives of organized labor;
and INDUCES the hope that their stay
here may be both pleasant and profit
able.

A Bil1ion-Dollar Year,

If the railroads make good their lat
est promise, which is for relief within
week or ten days, and the grain move
ment increases, it will be a matter for
local congratulation. Minneapolis has
made poor showing in -four produc-
ton this. fall. In October, 1905, the
greatest records in the history of the
industry were rolled up and daily
shipments Of -four ran above 100000
barrels on several occasions. This year
the production has been about 30 per
cent lighter and comparisons have not
only been very poor compared with a
year ago, but daily shipments have been
below normal for October and Novem-
Der and lighter than in any fall season
since the mills were Of present large
capacity. The millers say that with
free movement of wheat to market they
will be- better able to secure their raw
material and they are looking forward
to increased business later. But the
effect will probably be to throw it over
into 1907 and thus the records for this
year, 4 year when all industrial centers
will roll up big figures and wherein
Minneapolis ought to show up well, will
not be so good. : - .. .NGT E4e
Another thing much desired locally
is billion-dollar year in bank clear,
ings. It is really surprising how the
figures have held up against receipts
Of grain. some $4,000 cars lighter than
last year in the corresponding period.
Less fax, oats, barley, rye and ,miscel-
laneous farm produce has been moved
into Minneapolis, and in the item of
wheat alone receipts here since the crop
movement, began were only 21,574,0
bushels to date, against 33,65O,0OOs a
year ago. With all this. the bank clear
ings have been running slightly ahead
Of last year, thanks to great increase
in business in other lines, and there is
indication that despite the railroad
troubles and. their inability to hold Min
neapolis grain receipts up to last year
the city will make the billion dollar rec
ord after all
IF as is now promised the railroads
are going to do better. there is still
some six weeks in which they might
make up a part of the loss, and if they.
do this the billion dollar year is more
than assured.

ANOTHER MOSBY TALE
ereat Guerrilla Will Tell War Story
in Sunday Journal. s..-, -

Z COL John s.ssMosby, CONTINUING, the
series Of stories he has been relating
IN the Sunday Magazine, tells in next
Sundays issue. how, the famous Guer.
rllla band turned the table onSsthe
forces which were recently sent to de-
.stroy them. Two Of the most note
worthy of these endeavors were made
by General Duffy and Capt. Blazer,
and Colonel Mosby is generous enouoh
in in relating their defeats to pay some
little tribute of praise to their ability
and ;soldierly., qualifications. AS may
readily - be imagined having failed,
those officers had no bouquets thrown
at them by their commanding officers.
Colonel Mosby narrates briefly a
meeting in the .darks:with the late Gen
eral Carl Schurz. Neither one knew
the other, or even knew that he was
an enemy. Their horses brushed noses
and after some exclamation over the
collision, the two men spurred past
each other: It was not until after the
war that MosbX learned in conversa-
ton with Schurz that the horseman
ne had encountered that night was he.
