The corporate tendency of the

an intelligent appreciation Of the

DEMOCRATIC SAINTS.

In his speech at the court house
Saturday evening Judge Bosard of
this city discussed at some length the
history of the democratic party in it's
devotion to men who were in their
lifetime members of the republican
party, and showed conclusively from
the acts OF the party that it was not
worthy of the confidence of the think
ing public because it did not know
its own mind AS Mr.. Bosard put it,
the democrats were desperately In
love with every great republican who
was either dead or who was in such
position that he could not become a
dangerous opponent for public Office.
The conduct of the democratic party
in its laudation of men who have writ
ten the principles of the republican
party into the very history of this ma
tlon only shows the absurdity of it's
claims to public confidence. 1t is a
well known fact that the democrats,

Crookston Times: For Grand Forks.
J. Zipoy, who played left end. was
easily the star of the team. On al
most every play he broke through
CrookstOn's line and threw his oppon-
ent back for loss. The two touch
downs which were made by each team
came as the result Of good straight
football. NJ. ZipOy. the East Grand
Forks right tackle. and a man by the
way, who is reported to have played
on the East Grand Forks team for
five years, managed to get the ball
on tumble and made a sensational
run which took the ball to within a
short distance of Crookston's goal line.
From here they managed to work it
over for a touchdown. Goal was kick
ed and the score stood 6 to 0 in favor
of East Grand Forks. With but a
short time left to play it looked like
game for East Grand Forks but by
straight line bucks Crookston worked
the ball up the field and with but one
minute to play. Ross was given the
ball and worked it over for Crook
ston touchdown. Monroe kicked goal
and the score stood 6 to 6.

PRACTICAL WEATHER MAKING.

For practical purposes the United
States weather bureau is the best in
the world" says H. G. Frankenfield,
who has been sent from the Wash
ington Office to make forecasts for
Chicago during Professor Cox's alb
sence. "England's system is good, and
so is Germany's. The Japanese also
have an admirable organization. So
far as scientific equipment and work
is concerned. these bureaus are equal
to our own. But in putting meteOro-
logical observations to practical use,
so that the people can get some prac-
tlcal benefit from the forecasts, the
United States is far in the lead"
Professor Frankenfield eagerly looks
forward to the time when there will
be chain OF communicating weather
stations all around the world, so that
the conditions and changes of the
earth's atmosphere can be closely fol-
lowed from day to day. He believes
that it vii not be many years before
this ideal OF the weather prophet is
actually realized. and points out that
the new United States station in Alas
ka, for which plans are now being
made, will be long step toward the
desired end.
Professor Frankenfield is the flood
expert of the central Washington
bureau, and an enthusiast in his work.

THE PARTY's RECORD.

The republican party of this state
is not entering upon this campaign
with lot of bombast and buster
which characterizes that of the politi-
cal opposition, but it is, so far as the
state officials are concerned, stand
ing upon the records they have made
IN the two years which they have been
in Office as guarantee of what thew
will do in the next two years. The
democrats have nothing but general
promises and they are absolutely un-
able to point out single thing which
they would change or to specify a
single thing which they would do if
placed in power.
The management of state institu-
lions has been at all times under the
direct supervision of the governor and
the state auditors department. The
additional expense made necessary nv
the growth of the state institutions
and the erection of the necessary adj
ditlons has been paid, the present adj
ministration providing some $500 900
necessary additional appropriations
and paying them during the term.
Keeping at the same time the current
expenses of the state paid and a COM
portable balance in the state treasury.
New buildings have been provided
for the state agricultural college at
Fargo, the state university at Grand
Forks. the normal schools at Valley
City and Mayville, the state peniten-
tiary at Bismarck, the hospital for the
insane at jamestown, the deaf school
at Devils Lake, the school of forestry
at Bottineau and at other institutions,
In addition to this the administra
ton has paid off the money expended
for buildings two and three years ago.
when the institution bonds of the
state were declared illegal and funds
could not be raised except by direct
appropriations. This has been done
without raising the tax levy of the
state. The state board of euualiza-
ton has raised the valuation of the
railroads in the state, so that they
will pay an increased tax to the state,
counties and other corporations of
about a quarter of a million dollars.
That is part of what the admins
tratiOn has done. Is it not better
guarantee of what it will do in the
next two years than all the glittering
generalities offered by Candidate
Burke? What does he and his politi-
cal associates intend to do in refer
ence to the management of public
affairs? The Almighty may know, but
certainly He is the only one. Burke
does not.

Id
ocratic party will probably split that
vote also. Other facts may contribute
to the success of the socialist candi-
date. A large part of the population
of the district consists of Russian
Jews, thousands of whom have joined
the socialist party in the belief that
their efforts in behalf of Max Hillauit
will indirectly help the cause of their
brethren in Russia.
The campaign in behalf of Hillquit
is one of the most active and pictur-
esque that the East Side has seen in
years, and this is saying a great deal
when 1t Is remembered that the re-
gion is the political stamping ground
of the Sullivans and others whose
unique political methods have nut
them to the front in the Tammany
ranks. Seward Park is the centre on
most of the Hillquit demonstrations.
Men, women and children are out
working for the socialist candidate.
Among other features of Hillquit's
campaign is an organization known
as the Juvenile Workers League,
composed of several hundred boys,
from 10 to II years old. The boys
talk socialism. distribute documents,
and laud Hillquit when their work is
done. They go into the tenements
and have heart-to-heart talks with
voters in their own tongue. A young
women's league has also been formed,
and importunes votes and support for
Hillquit. They. like the men, contrib
ute and 10 cents day toward the
running expenses of the campaign. A
professional league has been formed
in the district, its membership con-
sisting of several hundred Jewish law
yers. pharmacists, journalists, ply
sicians, interpreters and authors. This
organization has completed arrange
ments for a dinner to be given Thurs
day night of this week at a hall in
Clinton street. Among those invited
are Peter Finley Dunno, Charlotte
Perkins Stetson Gilman. Edwin Mark
ham, and other well-known persons.
Another feature planned for the cam
paign is a monster parade to be given
on the night of October q, President
Roosevelt's birthday. The socialists
are conducting their campaign in the
sincere belief that the election of their
candidate to congress will surely fore
shadow the cooperative common
wealth and mark the beginning of the
nrst real inrOads against capital.

SAM JONES'.

Sam Jones is dead. There will in
all probability never be another to
take his place. He was the most
startling character in the religious
world. He has said more good and
more bad things in the pulpit than
any other man who has ever been
identified with the religious move
ment of the world. He had the un-
happy faculty of clothing beautiful
thoughts in coarse language. and his
measure was taken by the language
rather than the thought.
1t is impossible at this time-prob-
ably always will be-to determine the
real value of Sam Jones to the world.
To the great majority of people the
christian religion is something apart
from the coarse and vulgar To them
it is the perfume of sweet myrrhs
rather than the pungent smell of
divine adulation too sacred TO he de-
based by the buffoonery of any man.
With them the example of the gentle
Gallilean leading his followers by the
power of his love, and teaching them
in the language of the beautiful beati-
tudes was nearer the ideal religious
instruction than the stage manners
and unrefined language which char
acteriZed the sermons and religious
lectures of Sam Jones.
Such people-and their number is
leglon-will never believe that the
world was made better by the work
of Sam Jones. 1t was his boast that
he appealed to the sinner rather than
the saint. This may have been true,
for that class usually enjoys the cas-
legations which Jones could so effect
lively use against the persons who pro-
fessed TO be seeking the same light
as himself. He had the power to hold
a sinner over the flames of the bot
tomless pit and while he gradually
loosened his grasp to have the culprit
beg for mercy. But it is "A serious
question if the world would ever be
redeemed by such methods.
Jones belonged to that class of
churchmen who believe that the
church should become a censor of the
conduct of men whether such acts
were irreligious or not. He set him
self up as judge of the intentions of
men and demanded that they conform
to his standard, never seeming TO
realize that the true standard was
made by the founder of the christian
religion two thousand years ago.
But in justice to the man who if
nothing else, was sincere, let it he
said that he has awakened the

democratic party now looks upon Alb
raham Lincoln as the purest states
man and the greatest man who ever
occupied the presidential chair. Yet
there was never any man more hound
ed and maligned and Sillified than he
when he was battling with the same
democracy which today is assailing
every public man in the party who is
not permanently out of politics.
1t did the same thing to General
Grant. and though foe defeated on
the battlefield could recognize in the
magnitude Of his soul the highest mo-
tives of humanity and kindness, to the

remembered by his tickle followers.
The party is silent as the grave con-
corning the acts and teachings of
Grover Cleveland though he was
thrice the choice OF the party for its
highest gift and twice filled the posi-
tion of chief executive of the nation.

racy. So has Parker gone the way of
all democrats. In our own state they
no longer whisper the name of Roach
and Shortridge.
1t would seem that the democrats

and that about a century after the
republicans have found great man

TOOK The CASH AND A REVOLVER
Young Man Employed in Restaurant
Skipped With Is Bill and Gun
Arrested

Last night complaint was made to
the police department by q DeMers
avenue restaurant that young man
employed in the place had skipped out
with IS stolen from the till, and also
with revolver which was kept in the
shop. Within twenty minutes of the
time. Officer Panzrum arrested the
guilty party and took him to the city
hall. Owing to the prominece of the
young mans parents, the matter was
hushed up and satisfactorily settled
out of court, it being apparent that
the money was taken with no evil in
tents and the fellow was drunk at the
time. The boys father is a prominent
saloon man of st. Paul. The young
fellow stated that the money was
owing, and so he appropriated it with
out asking the consent of the pro-
prietOr.
