PITIFUl.

1t would be hilariously funny if
the tremendous interests at stake
did not make it sorrowfully pitiful
the holy show that the stand pat
element of the republican party are
making of themselves.
Wrapping themselves in the
ample cloak of their unlimited self
complacency, they lordly proclaim
that no one is demanding revision
of the tariff except democrats and
disgruntled republicans and that
the Overwhelming majority of the
republican party are perfectly
satisfied with the tariff laws as they
now exist" they have called out
their heaviest oratorical ability to
defend proposition that ''every-
body is in favor off,
Dalzell has pettifogged, Crosse
venor has Numbered, Lands has
exhausted the powers of his
sarcasm, Cushman has played the
clown, Boutelle has used up the
rhetoric of ridicule, McCleary has
frantically grabbed President
Rooseyelt's coat tails and endeavorod
to spread them over his position in
order to hide it's weakness from the
discerning gaze of his constituents,
and Leslie M. Shaw, Cabinet Officer
and Grand High Priest of Stand
pattism" has rushed head long from
Washington and thrown himself in
the breach to defeat the re-nomina-
ton of Gov. Cummins who is a
mild tariff revisionist but who is
running for an Office that has no
more to do with the tariff than our
old white rooster has to do with
rearing the eaglets of the Rockies
and all this mighty effort is being
put forth in favor of proposition
that "All loyal republicans are in
favor Of"
Is 1t not strange that among all of
these great apostles of standpattism
returning home to receive the plaud-
Its Of their constituents who gaze on
them with open mouthed astonish-
ment that so much wisdom, benev-
olence and disinterested interest in
their welfare can be covered by one
hat, and who being interviewed in
New York, Chicago and other great
centers of population and intelli-
gence sing the story of the gJories
OF their accomplishments in the
way of rate legislation, trust legisla-
ton, Panama canal legislation and
other things and not one of these
great senator's and congressman
dof their hats to the multitudes
that greet them with acclaim and
say, ''but the greatest thing of all
we accomplished was the prevention
of tariff revision by those who
would ruin you financially" Is it
not strange, passing strange, that
these statesmen have not in all the
buncombe and tafy that they are
feeding the voters, loudly proclaim

you're inclined to be bit pessimistic

gaily. Il see you haven't changed that

down upon her, ridge between his

to get away from the knowledge that

looked down at the book she had been

She shut the book and laid her fold
ed hands on her knee and looked up
at him with calm eyes.

back to-" she said. There is an end,
there must always be an end-to every

personification of energy, was the
chairman of the committee. In
less than a week after the conven-
ton adjourned the campaign was in
full blast and was kept constantly
on the move till the votes were
counted. In 1896 Elmer E. Adams
the best political manager in the
state, bar none, headed the
campaign committee. The echo of
the chairman's gavel adjourning
the convention sine die had not
ceased to echo before things were
moving and they were kept moving
all the time and the result of that,
the most spectacular and remarkable
congressional campaign ever fought
in this state, except the Nelson
Kindred fight, is history.
There is no use in Disgusting the
fact that the republicans of Mime
sofa have fight on their hands.
1t is useless to trust in our majority
which is more imaginary than real.
The only way we can win is by the
hardest kind OF systematic work.
The democracy are intrenched in
the citadel of patronage. In every
county there are from one to ten
officials whose tenure of office
depends on the success of Gov.
johnson and they are working all
the time. The democratic machine
is in perfect working order and
they have manager at the steering
apparatus that knows his job.
They have money enough to meet
all expenses and if they don't Frank
Day knows how and where to get
it.
This is the first and last time we
shall offer any advice to the repub-
licans of the state in regard to the
management of the campaign, but
we do want to impress upon the
minds of those who have the charge
of campaign matters that it is time
to get busy. We do desire to
impress upon the minds of loyal
republicans the fact that unless
they desire repetition of the
result of the campaign two yeas
ago they must adopt for their motto
the ringing words that Wellington
addressed to his men when
Napoleon's hitherto unconquered
legions swept down upon them at
Waterloo: cup, guards, and at
them" and they must act on this
motto.

up GUARDS and At Them"

We are free to confess that it is
not any of our business how or in
what manner the republican state
campaign is managed, but since
Mary McFadden, the daughter of
Minnesota newspaperdom, 1--WE
wrote mother first but fortunately
discovered our mistake in time to
erase it) has dubbed the Herald
the estate" paper by virtue of this
knighthood we feel that we have an
inalienable right TO butt in when
ever and wherever we feel like it.
We confess that we are much
disappointed at the way the state
campaign has been conducted.
Nothing has been done except the
appointment of state central
committee since the convention
was held. The democratic nominee
is already selected. His name is a
household word in every home in
the state. He is prince in the
art of blowing his own horn and
that counts. He is master of
suavity, the chief of jolliers and
withal man of ability, affability
and good judgment. There is no
reason on earth why he should not
be reelected except that he is a
democrat and there is no reason on
earth why, under existing condi-
tions, republicans in great
republican state like Minnesota
should give aid to national
democracy and state democracy by
placing an eminent democrat in
the executive chair. On the other
hand Mr.. Cole, our candidate, is
comparatively unknown. Outside
of his own legislative district very
few voters in the state ever heard
of him till he announced his
candidacy for the governorship.
The republican party in this state
is without organization. There is
not dollar in the campaign fund
and so far there is nothing doing.
We have visited several different
counties during the last week and
the apathy and slumberous in
difference of the leading republicans
makes US yawn. We were unable
to discover whether this apathy and
indifference is the result of pro-
found satisfaction or a spirit of
don't-care-a-tive-ness, but in either
case it spells defeat unless this
lethargic condition is shaken off.
We admit we are short on states
manship but when it comes to
making a fighting campaign we
have had some experience. In 1894
we were first nominated for
congress. C.sJ.s. Gunderson,. the

MEXICO ON POSTAGE STAMPS.
New Issue Distinctive : No Stamps
to be Sold Next Year That do
Not Bear Name of Town 1ssu-

Beginning next year, all postage
stamps sold at the local post-ofiice will
bear the name "Mexico" engraved
across the face Of them. Word has
gone forth from Washington that pos
tage stamps Of the issue Of 1907 put on
sale at the e0O0 presidential post-ofiices
will bear on their face the name OF
the state and city In which the post
Office is situated. This will include
Mexico. The chief reason for this
innovation is said at the post-ofiice
department to be the belief that IL
will help to do away with the big
post-office robberies and make itmuch
easier to trace criminals.
The post-ofiice robbery In Chicago q
few years ago is a good example OF the
case with which stolen postage stamp;
can be disposed of, for no trace of the
perpetrators was ever discovered, al
though nearly sl00, 900 worth Of stamps
were stolen and these mostly Of snal
denominations.
| Another reason for the change is T.
enable the post-ofilce department t.
determine the amount Of busines
| done by the different post-oflices AM
prevent padding through stamps sol
| at some Offices to residents who d
business In adjoining cities.
Postmaster Kunkel does not kno'
whether this law effects Mexico Q
not but from all metropolitan oil
patches it evidently does
