1T Is highly proper that the RepuD-
lican speakers generally, when on the
stump, discuss national as well as
state questions, and show the differ
ence in effect between the progressive
policy Of the Republican party and
the do4nothing policy Of the Demo
cratic party. 1t is highly proper that
they extol our matchless president for
the way he has exercised the many
POWERS vested in him, which have
done so much for the people, and
made him the idol, of the nation and
the foremost man of our time.
"But, inasmuch as our state is. as
time is measured, in the morning of
Its development, with many important,
If not vital, questions knocking at the
door Of it's chief executive for con-
si6eration, I think it is my duty as
the Republican standard bearer to
confne myself very largely to the dis
oussion of state questions. AS can
didate for governor, the people have
the right to know what I will do, in
the event of my election, about the
great problems of local concern and
interest.
GAIL wealth comes from the land.
Upon the farmers and their success
Minnesota must continue to depend
for it's prosperity and growth. AS
their number increases, as the value
Of their products increases, the land
Of the state will grow in value, the
villages and cities will prosper and all
lines of trade and manufacturing and
even professional labor will give
greater returns.
"Our welfare as a state, then, Is to
; be furthered by a wise and concerted
endeavor to increase the number Of
persons who are engaged in agricul.
,tural pursuits, to add to the system
and Intelligence with which our farm
ing is conducted, and hence to the
productivity Of our lands. The farm
er is not only the states greatest pro-
ducer: he is also the states greatest
consumer. ~,a. h. s

under what is known as 'demurrage
charges and, for many years, ship
pers Of our state have been com
PEELED to suffer long, damaging anc
apparently needless delays in getting
cars to be loaded. These abuses car
only be corrected by the strong and
vigorous arm Of the state. In my
opinion, law should speedily be en-
acted correcting these evils.
"In all ways that are practicable
and beneficial to the shipper should
,e statutes of our state on the ques-
tion Of, railroad supervision be made
to conform to the regulation rate law
recently enacted by our federal gov

81 "On the tax question I have decided
views. The state has developed to a
point where the expenditure for gov

enormous figure. In 1905 more than
1900, 900 was taken by direct taxa IA
tion from the earnings of our people
and spent to run the various depart
ments Of our state and municipal ad'
minfstration. When we realize that,
this sum does not include special, lo-
cal Improvement assessments, licenses
Of all kinds, nor the gross earnings
taxes Of railroads, insurance COM
.panies, telegraph and telephone com
panies, and the like, nor the states
income from its own inve estments, we
must be convinced that this is one OF
the very important subjects which is

Freedom that is Bondage

The anarchist proclaims that he
is free; that he acknowledges no
ruler, feels no obligation to obey
any law. But he is, as soon as
recognized, driven from one coun-
try to another, imprisoned, hang
ed, thought of everywhere as q.
menace to society, TIE RAN who
respects the chosen rulers and
obeys the laws of his country goes
about freely and unafraid, protect
ed by the power that Furnishes the
peace-disturber and iaw-breaker,
and is treated as q valued part Of
his home nation.
We are all tragically familiar
with men of all ages who decline
to give up their freedom to drink
when and what they please. Our
prisons and insane asylums swarm
with them. Their boasted liberty
is The direst bondage which hold
them from success. How many
parents, relatives, friends use Their
freedom to bind themselves! We
have all been in homes where the
mother utilized her freedom to
scold, upbraid and irritate, and
to estrange her husband and child
ren, and VINO famented bitterly
that she was neglected and nnap-
preciated. How often is friend
ship strangled by the freedom
that allows one to dictate and
dimineer and demand the free
doom that chooses to be bound to
arrogance and seliishness rather
than by gentleness and generosity.

ary Delineator.

Edncation In Business.

Miss May Langdon White, is con-
versant with the work Of publish
ing from beginning to end, and
finds sufficient occupation iii Civ
ing assistance Of various kinds to
authors and publishers generally.
Miss White predicates tact and
education as the essentials to sue

indeed IN any line of business. i
am inclined to think, !" she is quot
I'd as saying, that this question
of education is very closely wrap

Ill business. Possibly the ordinary
type of business woman is only 4
partial success. Possibly We do
not know how many uf us have
