It now seems likely that one Sam
Fullerton will be given his walking
papers at the end of the year.. A. B.
Clair of Grand Rapids is an active
candidate for Sans position, and as
he was a hard worker for Johnson
throughout the campaign, it is thought
that he has good chance of landing
the plum. The great unpopularity of
Fullerton and the disrespect in which
he is generally held has resulted, it is
said, in hundreds of letters from both
republicans and democrats being
poured in upon the governor asking
that some one other than Fullerton be
appointed. Discrimination and I'M
fairness in the enforcement of the
game laws are said to be among the
charges made. Governor John can
perform no more worthy act thansbhat
ofremoving Fullerton. -;

There has been considerable talk
since election of Attorney General
Young as the next republican guber-
Material candidate. With all adue
respect to Mr.. Young, we are .of<the
opinion that the next governors of
Minnesota will be J. F. Jacobson-or
a democrat. Wilkin County Gazette.
Is it not a little early to indulge in
threats? Had Mr.. jacobson been
nominated at Duluth instead of Mr..
Cole the threats made by his unwise
friends prior to the convention would
have cost him thousands of votes.
There are a great many republicans
who dislike being told they must sup
port a certain man for Office. If. the
state does not go to the dogs in: the
next two years, and we hardly think
it will, and the alternative of "Jacob-
son Or democrat" should be the ulti-
matum of the friends of the Lac qui
Parle statesman, the result at the polls
in 1908 might be even more disastrous
to the republican party than it was
this year. =

+. Howard Moore. in an address be.

J. Howard Moore, in an address be-
fore the humane society convention in
Chicago, denounced women who
adorned their hats with the wings,
heads or bodies of birds as 'barba-
rians and murderesses. While the
language used by Mr.. Moore was per-
haps unnecessarily severe, the truth
still remains that the slaughter Of our
pretty songbirds for headgear decora-
ton or for any other purpose is a
shameful proceeding. Despite the
laws prohibiting their killing, these
songsters are growing less and less
every year and more active steps
should be taken to protect them-every
community should constitute itself a
society for this purpose.

Occasionally an exchange refers to
the Pioneer Press as J. j. Hill's news
paper. We have it on the best OF
authority from one who is actively
identified with the Pioneer Press and
knows whereof he speaks-that Mr..
Hill neither owns nor controls one
dollars worth of the stock of that
newspaper. If Mr.. Hill saw fit to pur-
chase controlling interest in the Pho

without violating any Of the provis-
ions Of the anti-merger law. The
great railroad magnate can secure a
half interest in the Princeton U n O n,

TON Noswal," the St. Paul CORE
spondent Of the Mortified News, ad-
ministers a merited rebuke to the
Winona Republican in these words:
"The comment of the press generally
throughout the state has been SYM
pathetic with Mr.. Cole, who was much
more the victim of circumstances over
which he had no control and of CON-
binatiOns which, while pretending
friendship, never had any other in
tentiOn than to sell him out, than to
any weakness in his public record, his
associations or his personality. It
has been reserved for Jim Tawney's
paper, the Winona Republican, to
make the only nasty fling at him I
have seen and to suggest that he is
not possessed of the qualifications to
fit him for the place. This was un-
kind, unnecessary and unjust. Mr..
Coles executive ability is fully equal
either to the average of governors of
the past, and to that of the candidates
who cOntended with him at Duluth. If
he had been elected Tawney's organ
would have ground out a different
tune.'

Washington and Oregon, two of the
states which boast of a salubrious
cilmate,-of perpetual summer and
freedom from storms, have during
the past two weeks experienced con-
tinuous hurricanes and foods which
resulted in great loss of life and de-
struction of property. Heavy rains
have poured down necessarily during
that period, towns and bridges have
been washed away, railroad and tele-
graph service have been demoralized

compelled to seek the hilltops for
safety. This is the Gland of sunshine

CALCULATIONS ARE STRINGENT,

Difficulties Confront Farmers Who Propose
to Manufacture Denatured Alcohol.
"There is no objection to a farmer
manufacturing his alcohol in his back
yard provided he wants to establish
distillery there. "-Commissioner of
Internal Revenue John W. Yerkes.
The above statement was made over
the signature of Mr.. Yerkes, in answer
to a large number of letters, daily
pouring in on him for information,
relative to the manufacture of de-
natured alcohol. Mr.. Yerkes' state
ment on it's face would seem to give
farmers an equal footing with every
body, but it will be mighty hard sled
ding for farmer to meet the follow
ing requirements, which Mr.. Yerkes
lays down in the same statement as
that from which the foregoing was
taken.
However, farmers will probably get
together in different communities and
organize and establish neighborhood
distilleries. Preliminary steps to this
end have already been taken in Chi
sage county, where it is said alcohol
can be manufactured to good ad-
vantage. In reply to many inquiries,
Commissioner Yerkes has issued this
statement:
elf a farmer or other person desires
to 60 into the business of manufacture
ing denatured alcohol, at plant,
however small, he will be required to
construct his plant in the manner pre-
scribed by the general laws and regu-
lations. He will be required to give
bond, establish a distillery, ware
house, deposit the spirits produced by
him in this warehouse, establish de-
maturing bonded warehouse, and to
pay the tax or denature, just as he
may wish the alcohol produced by him.
All this will be done under govern
mental supervision, but the govern
ment pays for it. The manufacturer
of alcohol does not bear one cent of
it, and, as long as there is tax on
distilled spirits, anything less than
a complete supervision of all distilled
spirits produced, whether for tax pay
ment or denaturation, would result in
gross frauds on the revenue, and
would work hardships on honest
dealers in and manufacturers of tax
paid spirits.
eff people will take trouble to in
vestigate they will find that the laws
and regulations relating to manu-
facture of alcohol in Germany do not
differ to any great extent from the
laws and regulations in this country,
and that, SO far as the manufacture of
denatured alcohol by the American
farmer is concerned, it is simply a
business proposition, and they will
not be greatly deferred from entering
into the business by what some are
pleased to term ridiculous red tape OF
regulations and Instructions The
very fact that there are small indie
pendent distilleries, established and
operating all over the country, in the
manufacture Of distilled spirits for
beverage purposes ought to be suffi-
Gent answer to any claim that the pres
ent internal revenue laws and regula-
tions favor special interests.

What Might Have Been.

A nerveless, stupidity inefficient
campaign was that of the democratic
congressional committee; it's litera-
ture was dull, it's strategy infantile
Indeed, it practically abandoned it's
efforts weeks ago. It lacked from the
beginning vigor, sincerity, and moral
earnestness: hence it's sorry showing
today. The leaders cannot even take
much credit for such successes as have
occurred, for they are in large mea-
sure due to republican factional strife,
or to local causes of small import
ance. But the defeat of Congressman
J. T. McCleary of the Second Mime
sofa district, because of his stand
patism and his record on the
Philippine tariff, shows clearly that
tariff reform could easily have been
made winning issue.-New York
