had worked one-quarter as hard for
himself as he has for others he would
be worth million, and yet am not
sure he has not chosen the wiser part.

"MONkEY SHINE" BUSINESS
The legislature recently took a
whirl at what Hon. Henry Keller, the
former "Rosebud" senator from
Stearns used to picturesquely term
"Monkey Shine" business. [ refer
to the resolution endorsing the
Minnesota delegation in congress
and especially naming and commend
ing the congressman from the second
district for his efficient work for his
constituents. Just think of it, the re-
publican state convention in its plat
form declared specifically for "Tariff
Revision" and reciprocity. Every
candidate for the state senate either
on the stump or by letter declared
himself in favor of it. The legisla-
ture recently declared unanimously
in favor of the removal of the tariff
ON lumber, whose special representa-
tive fought the tariff revision plank
in the state convention to the limit of
his capacity, and this same congress-
man was turned down in the strongest
republican district in the state simply
because he did not represent his con-
stituents on the tariff and reciprocity
question. What does this resolution
mean? II it means anything it means
that the republicans in convention
assembled, betrayed their trust when
they adopted tariff revision plank
in their platform. That the members
of the Legislature has repented their
sins since they told the voters they
stood for revision. That the resolution
declaring for the removal of the tariff
on lumber unanimously passed by
the Legislature was buncombe; that
they did not intend to use their in
fuence to have it passed by congress,
but they simply enacted it to please
the voters that can be satisfied with
words, and that the voters of the
second district did not have sense
enough to know what they wanted.
That the legislature of Minnesota would
take such an action merely for the
purpose of furnishing one of its
members a lever with which to pry
himself into a postotfice, passes the
limit of ridiculosity and is scream
ingly farcial.
For this body to unanimously pass
a resolution calling for the removal
of tariff on lumber and then strongly
endorse public official who has
most vigorously fought the PROPOSE
ton is as inconsistent as the saloon
man L once knew in Manitoba who
used to open his place every morning
with prayer.
