boosting. The, republican lsrty has
been twice handed two lemons of the
sour variety, and it does not want
another. It cannot afford to lose tho

He held conference with tho commit
tee of cardinals over two months--
June and July-and reached a gener.
al basis of agreement. The import.
ance of this successful and completed
negotiation is Obvious, telling for all
time in our holding and adminstra-
ton of those valuable and necessary
possessions. This piece Of work alone
proves conclusively that William
Howard Taft has all the high diplo-
matte qualities necessary to make .
successful president. Of his execut.
i've ability there is no question. It
has been shown in a hundred ways in
the Philippines, in the War Depart
ment and in several Offices he held
prior to entrance into political life. q
Returning to the Philippines in
August, 1902, MIR. TAFT took up the
work temporarily laid down and re-
sumed Office as Civil Governor till De-
cember %, 1903, when he sailed for
the United States to become Secreta-
r. of War, which important office he|
still holds. -
With Secretary Taft's able work
since his return home the American
nation and the world are familiar.

The foil lowing observation by The
County Chairman in the St, Paul
Dispatch is not entirely devoid
of local application: Say for the
best all-round get-the-money game,
easy, too, recommend me to the
booze crusade that at the present
time has Minnesota in it's clutches
It's got three-card monte, the shells
and the case layout beat mile, and
this is going some, 1 tell you. It is
ninety-nine per cent for the house
every whirl Of the wheel, and you get
the other one per cent if you are
mean enough to play the hog. And
no "fxer" needed, eithor. They call
it county option and the anti-saloon
league is the syndicate. Up at
Crookston the other day the bunch
cleaned up 500 odd cold bones and a
stack of 81 promise to pay" cards.
A clipping just received tells of
another meeting whore one pass of
the hat brought Sc simoleons. News
of like sucoasses elsewhere is received
daily. And oil you have got to
shout is Down with the saloon"
The only layout required is good
hot exhorter, q hat and a bunch OF
III promise to pay" cards. An up
state house member in St. Paul, the
early part of the week tells of far
mer up his way who signed one OF
these "promise" cards for $50. And
there was not saloon within ten
miles of bis place. The best his To-
cality had was peruna and lemon ex-
tract. But there is one drawback.
The syndicate will not let the out
side world in. 1t is incorporated;
there are seven directors and if one
dies or plays hockey, the other six
name his successor. And the corpor-
alton runs for fifteen years, too. Its
articles authorize it to collect and to
spend for the good of the cause as it
sees fit. Got anything to beat it?
Continuing he says: Looking at
this prohibition movement seriously,
republicans generally cannot but
view it with alarm, not because of
any possibility of success on the part
of those behind it-something that
will not happen this campa1gn-hut
the set-b back it means for republi-
canism in Minnesota. It will simply
be a case of dog eat dog, with demo-
cracy carrying off the coveted bone.
The fight for county option in 1905
put respectable democratic minority
in both the house and senate, and If
republicans are not alert this time
the number will be doubled. The
one regret of the democratic state
central committee in the last cam
paign was that it did not put more
Legislative candidates in the field.
No better example can be given than
that of Sibley county. George A.
Mackenzie, former house member,
was the republican house candidate
there. His vote was always given in
aid of regulative liquor laws, and he
was sound on other questions of the
day. Yet a democrat beat him for
reelection by five votes, and the
cause was prohibition candidate
whom the county option forces put

The Cincinnati Enquirer de-
clares with some fervor that the
Republican party did not make
the propitious conditions OF the
last decade but simply jumped
into the chariot at an opportune
moment. The Enquirer deserves
credit for it's extraordinary per-
spicacity and we doubt if airy
Republican will care to enter in
to serious argument with it over
its proposition.
1t so happens, however, that
much depends on the driver
whether or not your chariot
makes a safe journey and about
one trip under Democratic guild
ance has been enough to con-
vince the people that that party
is not to be trusted with the
reins. Possibly the country
would have been equally pros
porous if a Democrat had occu-
pied the presidential chair dur
ing the last decade but the
voters were not willing to run
the risk. And they have moth
ing to et.-Toledo Blade.
