W0RTHlN6TON ADVANCE
PUBLISHED RvERY FRIDAY.
THOs. DOvERy, PUBLISHER.
u. S. Senator Wanted.

The next political matter thar
will claim the attention Of the peo
pie of Minnesota is the election of a
United States senator to succeed
Knute Nelson. s
At tho Republican state con ven
ton held at Duluth last June reso-
luton was adopted endorsing Mr..
Nelson for another term.
The resolution was sprung on the
delegates, by Federal appointee
unexpected and in q spasm OF good
humor 1t passed, beng given no
consideration. It was one of those
shrewd political moves, which
sprung at the right psychological
moments carry large bodies of men
off their feet in the excitement of
the enthusiasm automatically pro-
duced by the projectors of the
scheme.
As there has been no aspirant for
Senator Nelson g place the question
| of successor has received little Or
no consideration at the hands of the
people of the state. -
The Advance believes the time
has come for the retirement OF
Senator Nelson. Since the enact
ment of the Nelson bankruptcy will
it does not appear that the Senator
has done much more than draw his
salary. The bankruptcy law itself
is of dubious worth, as it sarcastic
ally dubbed the :deadbeats refuge.
When Mr.. Nelson was first elect
ed to the senate he was undoubted-
ly in close sympathy with the CON-
mon people of the state, regardless
of the fact that the circumstance OF
his first election were such as could
not have BEEN countenanced by q
man possessed Of fine sense of
honor. In recent years, however,
it has become apparent to many
close observers that his synpathies
have been gradually weane'f away
from the people and that slowly
but none the less certainly, he has
been the subject Of benevolent as:
similativn by 1.-The System, . which.
has controlled IN both the political
and industrial world during the
past decade or two. When in this
state y few months ago Senator
LaFollette, of Wisconsin, openly
charged Senator Nelson with bad
faith to his constituents, giving
specific instances in connections with
the passage Of the rate bill. Soma
tor La Toilette is an extreme radical
of course, bat he is too shrewd3a
politician and his regard f'r the
! requirements of senatorial courtesy
too keen to permit him to make I'M
accusations. And for that
matter the records bear him out in
the instances specified.
MIR. Nelson was not slow in pre-
senting an alleged bill of good
character.from the hands of the pre-
sident, but it proved 10 be simply
one of those tactful and qualified
recommendations which are some
times given an undesirable en-
ployee when his services are about
to be dispensed with. It requires
a Very elastic inauguration to- dis
Germ where the presidents letter
met Mr.. LaFollettes charges.
The fact is apparent that Senator
Nelson has outlived his usefulness.
That the system" is we'll satisfied
with him is evident from the fact
that he has its support.
1t is up to the next legislature to
elect q United States Senator who
will represent all the people.

Police Commissioners.

The meeting of the Board of Police
Commissioners was held last night 10 the
Com non Council chamber. Mayor Pan
presided AID Commissioners Hill, Fisher
aud Oehlert were present.
The Mayor stated that the meeting had
been called for the purpose OF allowing
Lieutenant Smith an opportunity to re-
lecertain charges which had been made
against him
Rosie Moore was the first witness sworn.
A statement made by the woman April
10 was read and she acknowledged Its
correctness.
Eva Baker followed. Her testimony
was substantially the same as that given
before the commissioners on April III.
Frank Roberts also repeated testimony
previously given By him
w. w. simpson and Officer Sher-
wood testified, but their evidence was OF
minor importance.
Frank Phillips testified that he was
an Rosie MoOre's house some time ago
when she offered Lieutenant Smith
money, and that the latter refused to
accept it, remarkiDg that she did not
owe him anything.
Lieut.. nant Smith read dispatch he
had received from Rosie Moore recent
~ requesting him to send a tugboat
down The river TO bring her ark to this
city. it being reported that her husband
had died on the boat.
Mr. Phillips said the lieutenant asked
him 70 take his tugboat down the river
and tow the ark to Alexandria, but he
could not comply with the request.
Annie Thompson testified to being
pre.ent on one occasion when money
WAS offered Lieutenant Smith by wo-
man of north Lee street. which the
lieutenant declined to receive.
John Taylor and Charles Smith testl-
fed. but their evidence was nnlnpor-
taDt
Thomas Chauncey, assistant State as
SCISSOR, testified that be went to Rosie
MOore's house on north Lee street for
the purpose of assessing her property.
She told him she WAS receiving ~ a
month for certain houses, but he subse'
ouently learned that the woman was re-
ceiving twice that much week for her
houses
Captain Amiss aud Detectives Horn
and Fathers, of the Washington police
department, were successfully put ON the
stand. They all knew Rosie Moore and
expressed themselves as unwilling TO
credit anything she might utter One
of the witnesses said the gOmau attempt
oI on one occasion to bride him By offer
log him $50, when he elected her from
his Office.
Several witnesses testified to granting
several financial favOrs 10 Lieutenant
Smith before the first of each month,
which was intended to prove that he was
solely dependent npon his salary for a
livelihood.
The Moore woman was again called TO
the stand when she failed to substsntlate
in al its details the statement made by
her on The 10th of April when she al
lsged she had given the lieutenant money.
This action Ga her part tended to impair
her subsequent aYoUals.
The board later adjourned subject TO
the call at the Mayor.
