PRAISE FOR TEDDY
Governor Johnson Refers in Eu-
Iogistic Terms to President.
SPEAKS TO DULUTH Y. m. C. A.
Necessity of Character the Basis of
Success in Life; Dinners
and the Appetite.
SPEAKS TO DULUTH y N. C. A.

Duluth, Feb. l2.-"There are many
men whose records are tending to be-
smirch the fair name of the nation, but
| believe we have at its head man who
is great enough and good enough to
guide the ship of state in the right di-
rection," was the tribute paid by John
A. johnson, governor of Minnesota, to
President at the close of an address to
| 800 men at the Lyceum Theatre yes
terday, under the auspices of Y. NJ. c.
A. of Duluth.
The keynote of the governors address
was the necessity of character as the
basis of success in life.
"The most false standard of success
is the world said the speaker, sis that
which sets up dollars and cents as the
height of its ambition, tor the simple
reason that no matter how much money
man may acquire there never comes a
time when he can rest and be content
that he has enough if he has been a de-
votee to the money god. There is a
man in New York who has set his am
bition at ,OOO,OOO,OOO, and if he ever
lives to acquire it he will be sorry that
it is not So ,OO0000.00O.
Il believe that no man should have
more than $4,000 year, for if he lives
right he does not need any more.
"Organized society as it exists today
might very fairly be divided into two
general classes, those who have more
appetite than dinners and those who
have more dinners than appetite, and
feel positively certain that the greater
amount of real misery exists among the
people of the latter class.
'.As life work | would rather be able
to provide for the needs of family, en-
Joy the fellowship of good books and
good friends and write one book that
would be read a hundred years from
now than to be able to amass all the
money in the world"
.'All the money in the world cannot
buy an honest man, despite the imam
Gus taunts of skeptics, which we Otter
hear quoted that every man has ms
price. Being good poker player may
some time put man into the legisla
lures of this country, or at least not de-
bar him. but it is honesty that makes
men railway managers and bank presl
dents, and there never was such de
mand for honest men in the world a.
.
there is today. 81 hts3
ITO the young men l say. make re
solve never to soil your conscience to-
the sake of making friend, for TIT
man who would ask you to do some
thing contrary to what is right is no
worth having for a friend"

WORK FOR WAYLAND.

From the results of the recent cleo
ton in Colorado the Appeal to Reason
was only foolin' when it declared that
that state would go for Haywood for
governor. But all this is now imma-
terial. What Mr.. Wayland wanted
was the people to play the sucker
while the Appeal editors bank account
grew few thousand and ifhe succeed
ed, and we think he did, he will feel
that his efforts have not been in vain.
There is not a bigger CRATER in the
United States, or the earth, for that
matter, than Wayland, of Girard, Kan
sas, and whether or not those who are
contributing to his paper admit the
fact, they are playing the sucker just
the same. Wayland howls about
private ownership and damns the cor
porations, yet he has accumulated,
from the thousands that have been
sent to him, snug fortune and holds
stock in a corporation that is placing
on the market a preparation called
"Nutrito.' Wayland, like Edward
Boyce, the fanatical leader Of the West
ern Federation Of Miners, will work his
graft to the limit while the picking is
good and then retire, forgetting for
ever, all he has been saying about
the poor and the oppressed. But in
the meantime let the people work for
Wayland for the sooner he makes a
stake the sooner the world will get rid
Of him.

WHO LIED2

The Moscow Journal gang deny that
they proposed to the Troy News a
scheme whereby the taxpayers would
be held up and robbed of hundreds Of
dollars in the matter of county printing.
Well, now that the election is over
and we cannot be accused of talking
for mere effect, we repeat the charge
and give the people our word, backed
by our record, asking that they judge
for themselves as to who is entitled to
belief. If we desired to treat the tax
payers dishonesty would we have put
in a bid at the low price we were
awarded the work? And on the other
hand will anyone acquainted with the
business methods of the Journal gang
put past them all and more that has
been told by the Troy News?
Have they not pursued this same hold
up policy with the people in private
dealings2 Have they not done the
same thing with the lawyers? And did
they not do even worse during the
political campaign just closed? For
stipulated price Messrs. Shaver and
Fletcher offered to support Governor
Gooding and the entire republican
ticket, including Congressman French.
For $500 this gang would have worked
for the reelection of Auditor Ramstedt
For gold they offered to stand for any
candidate or labor for any measure re-
gardless of whether their action was
right or wrong. We suppose they will
deny this and answer by calling the
News editor a liar. But, nevertheless,
we are stating facts and telling nothing
but cold truth. And we again ask the
J eople to use their own judgment and
determine the truth Does the Jour
nal gang want US to prove these serious
charges? If so let them arrest US for
SANDER, for if we have lied we have
slandered the gentlemen outrageously.

A PLAIN DUTY.

The citizen who does not care
enough about county, state and ma
tional government to attend primaries,
or to even vote, is not deserving the
great privileges he enjoys as a citizen
and ought to be DISTINGUISHED. AS
citizens we should remember that our
government will be just as good and
no better than we make it. And it
will be just the kind of govern
ment the majority of the people
want it to be. This is true for you
cannot name law, you cannot men
tion a needed reform, you cannot tell
Of a single thing in the way of legisla-
lion that the people cannot have just as
soon as a majority of the voters say by
their ballots they desire it. Gov

If all this is so then what of the man
who will look you squarely in the face

IT'S OUR FIGHT.

1t is certainly good to find the entire
Inland Empire lining up with Spokane
in the struggle for a BETTER and
more just freight rate. AS it is to-
day we Of the Inland country are forced
to pay tribute exacted for no other
purpose than the building up of coast
cities. For example, it costs more to
ship a car or a train load CT merchan-
disc from the eastern manufacturer to
Spokane or Moscow or Troy or Lewis
ton, than is charged by the railroads
to haul the same car or train 500
miles farther to the coast. They
charge Spokane and other inland
points the coast rate plus the local
freight rate from the coast back east
all the way across the State Of Wash
ington, and the people of Toy and
this section are thus robbed. Do you
think it right? Are you satisfied? II
not why not join Spokane and fight?
Why not raise a protest that will be
heard all the way to the national capt.
tai? Why not admit right now that
we have suffered long enough and with
Spokane and Lewiston and other cities
join in a contest that will require the
best fight united people can make il
justice is to be had? We suggest that

up to the seriousness of the situation

we can to assist Spokane in fight tina.

Don't feed beggars. Don't play
the sucker for the fellow who comes
to you with a pitiful story Of hard luck
or who hands out a nice little piece OF
poetry printed on a nice card telling
you that the Lord loves a cheerful
giver, and that the fellow who handed
you the card is deaf and dumb, the re-
suit OF some horrible accident in the
mines or at San Francisco Or some
other place. Don't believe the fellow
who twists his leg out of joint and then
limps around begging for funds for the
purpose of buying a new one. Don
listen to the man with granulated sore
eyes for there is a ten-to-one chance
that he is a fake and that his eyes are
sore because ne made them SO with
a preparation used by the profession.
Don't contribute to the deaf fellow who
wants money to send himself to school,.
In plain words don't contribute one
penny of cash nor give dry crust of
bred to the multitude of buns who are
going about grating people who are
tender hearted and really anxious to
assist the unfortunate and the needy.
We urge you to say mo" to every one
of the buns for the last one Of them
are professional beggars who could, if
compelled, talk and hear and see and
walk just as we'll as can the people
who are contributing to this class.
Don't encourage the beggar. There
is plenty of honest labor and it will do
these fellows good to get up a decent,
honest sweat. If you really want
10 help someone there are families
within your town or at least in the
county who are deserving and we be-
lieve charity should commence at
home. Don't you?

What is the matter with the Pot
latchP We had steady, but a gentle
rain for over two weeks with not cent
OF damage while other sections, with
their much boosted climate, suffered a
tremendous loss Of property and even
some life. We certainly ought to ap-
preciate the many good things this
favored spot enjoys and he who has
felt disposed to grumble ought to re-
tire to rear of some lonely henhouse
and there kick himself one or two good
hard jots.
