It's doubtful if the liquor il.
terests had 9 great deal to do with
the cutting down Of EDerhart's
vote. Their influence was felt
some, it is understood, around
the republican candidates. home
district, but there is little eyi-
dence of their fighting him very
hard over the rest OF the state. i.
As amatter Of fact, tits not so
wonderful that Eberhart's
plurality should have been cut
down, as it is that it was not cut
down still more. The trouble
lay right here at home in the
northern counties, where Judge
Pendergast received q much
vote than he should have
received, in view of the fact that
he was as much a northern
Minnesota candidate as a demo-
cratic candidate.
The truth of the matter prob,
ably is that Mr.. Cole overdid the
drainage issue, and the reaction
hurt Pendergast, who was also
emphasizing that feature of the
campaign.

The public would have less OBJ.

the Great Northern Railroad
company, the Union Pacific Rail
road company, aud other corpor-
ations dividing their bloated
SURPRISES among their stock
holders, if they would distribute
it in cash and not in tue form of
watered2 stock. If cash were
given out, the dear people might
feel that it had all been flched
from their pockets, but they
could find "1consolation. in the
thought that the ordeal would
end there. But the watered
stock must earn dividends, which
means higher freight rates
wherever they can be clapped on,

nation about the roads merely

dends when demands are made

TOWN TOPICS JOURNALISM.

1t is a rule in many of the best
newspaper Offices to never, ex.
cept in rare instances, print a
story where it is necessary to
suppress names. If the story is
such that the names of the men
and women concerned must not
be mentioned above a whisper,
then 1t has no business in de-
cent family journal.
This rule would not have been
applied out of place, if it had
been enforced against the story
of scandal, highly seasoned with
suggestion of shocking perform
ances by people high in the social
and the financial worlds, which
appeared in recent issues of the
city press: Such stuff appeals
only to the worse side of the
reader, and degrades and lowers.
It is the Town Topics style of
journalism, the recent exposure
of which filed the whole land
with disgust. tits bad enough,
goodness knows, when the truck
| comes out in the divorce courts
| with names and dates; but it is
far worse in the nameless, specu-
lative, highly insinuating form.

The LIEUTENANT G0yERNoRsHIP.

The Minneapolis Journal, in
discussing the defeat Of Judge
Pendergast for lieutenant gov
ernor, has the following to say:
A. O. Eberhart's plurality in
seventy counties that have been
heard from on lieutenant govern
or is $3.50. His vote is .123, 583
to 98,264 for Pendergast. The
remaining thirteen counties are
all expected to give Eberhart q
plurality, and his margin will
probably be between $4,000 and
IS, 900.
One of the state's political
seers has undertaken to show
that the reason for Eberhart run.
ming below the other candidates
outside of governor is the hos.
tility of the railroad influence,
which cut down his vote in the
cities. The railroad influence is
shown very little on the returns
Of q general election, and no
more in the cities than in the
rural districts. Eberhart ran
behind ell over the state, and
hersreasons exist for the cut in
his vote.
One is psychological. Thous-
ands who cut the republican can
didate for governor carried their
scratching on to tile next place
on the ticket by some occult
reasoning. They always do, IN
every election.
Then the liquor interests were
hostile to Eberhart for his vote
in favor Of county option ia 1903,
and they hit him wherever pos.
sib1e. The old soldiers, too,
voted pretty generally for Judge
endergast, who was their sole
representative on either state
ticket.

The Blind Cannot See.

The United States Bureau of
Labor sent out some very interest.
ing matter relating to the condition
OF the working people. 1t contains
a graphic account of nineteen fam
iiies OF unskllled workingmcn in
the District of Columbia, and
shows in an apathetic way the dcs-
peratc battle which is waged against
starvation, day in and day out.
year III and year out. 1t shows
that half the wages of these people
was paid for food, and "a fourth for
rent, leaving only one.fourth for all
other eXpenceS. The bare necessi.
ties of life were almost out of reach.
the comforts of life were badly
housed, ill-fed and ilI-clad. But
they were all normal cases. All
this i'll the capital of the home of
the free and the brave. And there
is no necessity of a change.
