And which will be the dragon-slayer,
Hearst or Hughes? The endeavor has
been in the foregoing observations to
point out that the trend of the majority
at the moment is toward Hearst. 1t is
safe to go further and say that at the
present moment the most prominent of
the republican leaders believe that Hearst
is as good as elected. Yet a prediction is
hazardous for ant-election indications in
New York are deceptive. The only thing
that can be CLEANED from statistics Is
that this is an off year. in New York
state politics, and that the record of such
years prove that q large falling off in
the republican vote is almost inevitable.
Mr.. Roosevelt himself was elected gov
ernor by a plurality of only $4,000 in 1898.
and Mr. Odell in 1902. was barely saved
by a plurality of 5000. This meant that
moro than 100000 republicans who had
voted for President Mckinley did not
cast their ballots al all in the state cam
paign.
There is no speculation in saying that
the best element-the real democratic
party does not desire Mr.. Hearst's cleo
ton. They would look upon such a
result as calamity But he has with
him the fanatical believer in the Hearst
utopia, the "purchasable' flooter and the

The Timber and Stone act.

william ". Culkln. until recently
register of the United States land
office at Duluth, is strongly opposed
to the repeal of the timber and stone
law. Appertaining thereto he says: :. :.
"Steps should be taken by the peo-
pie of Northern Minnesota to impress
upon the minds of their representa-
tives in both houses of congress the
fact that the repeal of the timber and
stone act is not desired by the people
of this section. It is one of the most
meritorious land laws on the statute
books and it's repeal, if it occurs,
will be blow to the development of
this part of the state. ''It is essen
TALLY poor mans law and gives the
northern pioneer a chance to get on in
the world, being one small recompense
to him for his work in developing a
new country. Any one who investi-
gates the matter will find that the law
is being taken advantage of, hot by
the dishonest, but in fact by the best
class of our people. Farmers, me-
chanics, business men, editors, bank
ers, clergymen, and people Of other
worthy callings invest their savings
in land under this law and at once be-
gin to pay taxes on the land they buy.
''It is true that there has been fraud
under this law, but that is true of
every law that I have ever heard of.
The fact remains, however, that, as the
stone and timber law is now admins
tered, fraud has been almost entirely
eliminated. Such fraud as may be
found is merely sporadic, not general.
Fraud arises not from bad laws but
from lax or corrupt administration.
''No one has advanced, as yet.
plausible reason why this beneficial
statute should be repealed. One idea
| advanced is that the lands should be
reserved for homesteads. But some
of our land is of such a. character that
it is not taken as homesteads.. Our
best lands are now homesteaded.
"Why segregate 100000, or more
acres of government land to be added
to the gloomy unproductive wastes
now held by the state? Why not get
these lands on the tax rolls to aid in
upbuilding the northern counties?
''It is true that spectators in scrip
would benefit by the repeal. Certainly
these spectators who usually get
something for nothing from the gov
eminent are not it's favorites. At the
same time they are the only ones who
would reapa profit from it's repeal.
1t would be wrong to the people and
to the towns, villages, school dis
tricts, and counties of the northern
country, the very interests which the
proposed repeal is mistakenly sup
posed to serve -

From Northern Minnesota comes
a pitiful wall that the government
should instruct settlers how to get
good farm crops off denuded jackpine

off such lands and to leave them for

the vicinity of some great city is ii
worth while to incur the expenses in
