THE PRINCETON UNION: THU RsDAY,, APR1L r. 1905

In his memorial day speech at Nor
folk, Va, President Roosevelt will
take occasion to drive harpoon or
two into publications Of the Mime
apolis Clown Topics" stripe and the
"Colonel Manns'' who furnish the
falsities for their columns. The presi-
dent says that he is utterly nauseated
with and tired of such vilifying pro-
auctions such malodorous flth--and
deems it his duty as chief magistrate
of the country to expose the unfair
ness and treason of the wholesale in
situations being published against
American citizens and the govern

The Baptist society of Alton, Me-.
had arranged for it's great and glor-
ious annual picnic, which was to take
place about seven miles up the river.
The river was swift and rocky, and,
as the expedition was to be- made in
boats, it was necessary to have ex=
perienced river men to conduct it.,
and in this respect "Ike" Leavitt was
exceeded by none. ''Ike'' was there
fore given the most responsible posi-
ton, which consisted in managing a
boatload OF, !" Sunday school ma Jams. y
They started out on the appointed
day, but in spite of the we'll known
prowess of their guide there was still
much fear of the hidden rocks, as was
evidenced by a chorus of shrieks at
every unusual motion of the boat.
"Ike" endeavored to allay their
fears by the assurance, ssBe calm,
ladies; be calm, I know every rock in
this river."l But just then there came
a dull thud, followed by shivering
of the whole craft. It was entirely
unlocked for by "Ike, y but he was

How can the republicans of st. Paul
expect to elect their municipal ticket
with such man as Frank II. Griggs
at the head of their campaign COM
mittee? They are simply counting de-
feat. Griggs was hand-in-glove with
Boss Dick O'Connor to elect John
A. Johnson governor in 1904, and it
is reasonable to presume that the
political partnership between Griggs,
O'Connor and Johnson still exists.
OF course Messrs. O'Connor and
Johnson are intensely interested in
the reelection of Uncle Bob Smith,
the democratic candidate. Perhaps
Mr.. Griggs was selected for the chair
manship of the republican committee
on account of his devotion to the
cause of temperance! We understand
the campaign on the part of the re-
publicans is being conducted on a
high moral plane. In any event Mr..
Hofmann,. the republican candidate
for mayor, has our sympathy.

Every candidate for place on the
republican state ticket can rest as
sured of receiving fair treatment in
the Duluth newspapers while the con-
vention is being held in that city. In
this connection Duluth's only morn
ing newspaper remarks:
The News Tribune will do as it al
ways has done-prlnt the news. It
recognizes the fact that, as the repre-
sentative republican paper of this
section Of the state, if not of the entire
state, it owes duty of absolute fair
ness to all candidates It will have
no personal choice for any position
on the ticket, and it will treat all can
didates with absolute impartiality
both during the convention and be-
fore. ~ .
Unlike some of the venal black
mailing sheets of the twin cities the
guarantee of the News-Tribune means

Discount for Shortage,

A couple evidently from an exceed
ingly rural district recently presented
themselves at the home of a Buffalo
minister and announced that they
wished to be married. The would-be
bride was of LONELINESS to cause
one less pity for the blind, but the
groom seemed satisfied, and as they
possessed the necessary license the
minister proceeded to perform the
ceremony.
'How much dew that come to Par
SOM" the man then inquired, bring

deep trousers pocket. ''Name yer

"Oh, [ have no regular CHARGE"

what you think it's worth.''

bride in a speculative manner.

VIII RE1rOTE PRE.yUD1CEs.

Referring to the Republican state
convention and the selection of Du-
luth as the place of holding it, the
sprightly Duluth Herald remarks:
It is a good thing in more ways
than one. It is splendid thing for
Duluth, because she will entertain,
and take pleasure in it, large guam
tity of representative citizens of the
state who cannot fail to go away with
larger idea of Duluth and it's prom
Use and achievements than they have
now. II is an excellent thing for the
delegates, too, who will be enabled to
learn with their own astonished eyes
that the people of Duluth are not or
namented with cloven hoofs and
barbed tails, and that they do not
even spout fire out of their mouths or
shoot lightning out of their eyes.
They will learn that Duluth is the
third city of the state, and that it is
bound shortly to become the first.
They will learn, many of them, that
in this section of the commonwealth
exist many reasons for being proud of
their state that they have merely
heard of before as unbelievable
rumors. ~
And the Herald might with propriety
have added: Duluth's daily news
papers are owned and edited by gentle
men, and each and every candidate
will be accorded a square deal,"
and the proceedings of the convention
will be fairly reported.

Fullerton has engaged at a big
salary-which the state will have to
pagan expert in the art of ring-neck
pheasant feeding. These pheasants
have been introduced ostensibly for
experimental purposes, but the
chances are that the experiments will
be confined to the various ways of
preparing them for the table. At any
rate this act of hiring high-salaried
man for the sole purpose of feeding a
species of bird which will not flourish
in this country is preposterous.

It would seem as if pretentious
daily newspaper like the St: Paul
Dispatch could afford to report an
unimportant little matter like fixing
the time and place of holding state
convention with some degree of fair
ness. So far as r. G. Dunn is con-
cerned there is not a syllable Of truth
in the Dispatch story to the, effect
that a. ';deal'' was made with Boss
W. H. Grimshaw whereby the Mime
apolis members of the state committee
were to vote for Duluth as the place
of holding the convention, and in re-
turn Bob Dunn and his friends were to
favor the passage of a resolution
which provided that the call should
state that a candidate for United
States senator would be nominated by
the convention. Mr.. Dunn knew moth
ing whatever of such resolution I'M
til it was offered in the committee
meeting by Mr.. John Diamond of
Mankato. We presume Mr.. Diamond
should have consulted the Dispatch
gang of political buccaneers before
offering such resolution. But John
is one of those cratic headstrongi fell
lows who has no regard for the pow
ers that be.
