Hennepin Republicanis1n.

Charley Mitchell has celebrated his
ascension to the tripod in Duluth by
promptly attacking Minneapolis repub-
licanism. He does it in the interest of
harmony. He says, among other things,
that call the republican party ever
hears from Minneapolis is the Mace
DOMAIN cry for help before conventions
and the sulks after conventions. - He
must be thinking about the treatment.
the Hennepin delegation received at the
last state convention, where the DOM
inant faction lost no opportunity to
humiliate the republicans Of this dis
trict, and about the enthusiasm with
which they went into the campaign
when the convention was over.
He says further: "Proper Difference,
it (TheJ ournaD feels. is not shown
the strongest republican county of the
state But it forgets that Hennepin $
vote is only nominally republican, 1t
is no doubt true that Hennepin g vote
is not safely republican under all con-
ditions. 1t has been the policy Of ma
chine politics for so long to disregard
any claims that Hennepin might have
upon the party that it is not surprising
that the voters of the county cannot
be relied upon to follow ring dictation
at all times. 1t is just this fact which
The Journal was calling attention
to before the News Tribune got up, and
it seems to us a perfectly reasonable
and natural conclusion that if the re-
publican party of the state wants the
votes Of Hennepin county, it should
begin to treat the county with fair
consideration.
The probabilities are, however, that
so long as such policies as that advo-
Gated in the News-Tribune are per-
sisted in by the party and the prece-
dent established in the last convention
is made the rule, the vote Of Hennepin
county will be nominally but not GER
tainly republican. It isn't reasonable
to expect anything else, and the News
Tribune knows it, if it knows anything
about politics. 1t knows st. Louis
county couldn It be treated in this fash
ion and hold it's voters in line for the
party ticket.
The point The Journal had in
mind was simply that if the republicans
of the state want votes where there are
more of them to the square mile than
there are anywhere else in Minnesota,
it might be worth while to quit wiping
their feet on that. particular section of
the state and treat it's claims to con-
sideration with common decency and
fairness. The way the News7Tribune
would do that would be to insist on
basing representation in the next con-
vention on the last vote for governor,
notwithstan ding the fact that Mime
apolis republicans supported the bal
ance Of the state ticket and the head
of the national ticket as loyalty as any
section of the state.

Injustice in Tax Dodging.

R, T. DAILY Of Renville, member of
the state board of equalization, has con-
tributed an interesting paper to the
Buffalo Lake News on the subject Of
taxation. Mr.. DAILY shows the fallacy
Of the attempt to keep down local as
sessments in order to escape state taxes.
Renville county last year paid $36,OS6
in direct taxes to the state, including
the school tax. All but $4,000 Of this
was returned direct to the county, to be
exact, $1,000, Of which $2O,413 was
distributed to the common schools and
$1o,77e to the graded schools, small
amounts going to the bridge fund, the
agricultural society, and the local fire
departments.
The county therefore contributed but
.trifing sum to support OF the state
government, in comparison to it's valua
ton. Every other county, as Mr.. DAILY
points out, is following suit in the effort
to keep values down, but the state
board equalizes assessments in each
class, and where county falls below ii
is promptly raised again, so all such
iockeying Of totals is wasted effort
There is great injustice in it, also, from
the fact that real estate cannot be hid
den, and is made to pay more than it,
share of the tax burden. Banks ais.

which is much higher than the ratio OF
other personal property.
The pending taxation amendment t.

for reaching personal property, s.

ment can be taxed without wiping gu

10 go into court to attack the system of
gross earnings taxes. The system by
which all railroad taxes go direct to the
state hits Duluth particularly hard as
about one-third of the city's property is
devoted to railroad purposes, and the gross

total. The Duluth claim is that the tax
should have been apportioned in the first
place to localities, instead of turning it

certainly, and would have saved Mime
apolis many thousands of dollars in local
taxes.

- rAECKEL's SOLUTION OF THE
RIDDLE OF THE UNIVERSE
II - NO SOLUTION AT ALL.-The

exhaustive studies Of Professor Haeckei
book, HThe Riddle of the Universe
coupled with the confident assurance
with which he states his conclusions,
have led many to attach greater i'm
portance to his purely materialistie. So
luton of the world IS riddle than it de-
serves. Years ago his position was
abandoned by thinkers equally prom.
inent who had come to find it intenable,
and now comes forward one Of the
world s leading scientists, Sir Oliver
Lodge, with a little book called Life
and Matter, showing some of the points
both in his premises and his conclu,
sions. To use Professor Lodges own
words:
At present the scheme formulated by
Professor Haeckel must to philosophers
appear rudinaeI1tary and antiquated,
while to men Of science it appears gratu-
itous, hypothetical, in some places erron-
eous, and altogether unconvincing.~
Professor Lodge gives the keystone

The College of Today.-if we do not
correct our faults these days 1T is not be-
cause we are not told of them. The coli
lege of today is having some Of its faults
pointed out by w. G. Parsons in the April
Atlantic. One thing he says is this:
The typical college Of today consists of a
shrewd fnancier, libraries and their librarians,
and laboratories and their laboratorians Like
the rest of the age, they are made up of money
and matter. Machine made, we have gone far
toward making education also machine.
The writer would have more lecturers
with personality, with something of their
own to say, so intimate, so earnest, so
personal that to convey it all a book is
insufficient. He says good many other
things to set the reader thinking.

proof of the large circulation of Min
