GEORGE T. SIMPSON OF
STURDY STOCK.

They saw blood will tell Per
haDe this is how we find George
7. Simpson Of N'inOna raised in
public esteem to the point where
he received the Republican nonli-
nation for attorney general with
Out candidate appearing against
him and with unanimous vote Of
the state convention.
Mr.. Simpsons father was the
late Hon. Thomas Simpson Of
1Vin0na-0ne Of the sturdy
pioneers who laid the foundation
for this states present greatness.
Hon. Thomas Simpson was the
man who, on the part Of the Min
nesota delegation, seconded the
nomination Of the beloved Abra-
ham Lincoln for president. He
was also the man who, in 1853,
1854, and 1855, ran the federal
government boundary line be-
tween Minnesota and Iowa; also
the first, second and third guide
meridians in Minnesota and the
standard parallels intersecting
these guide meridians. This,
too, was at a date when this state
was little more than a vast, un-
travelled wilderness. And so thor
oughly was the work done that
not one line has ever been ques-
toned for accuracy Or altered.
The son, George T. Simpson,
seems to be made OF the same
strong, sturdy stock as his father,
as he has already distinguished
himself as a city and county at
torney, and is serving with great
credit as first assistant attorney
general at the present time.

DEN MARK.
COpenhaGe

The Albert affair still continues to
be the chief topic of conversation, both
in Copenhagen and all over the country
for that matter. The ''POlitiken" char
acterizes the whole affair as national
calamity and a national shame, which
can never be obliterated. The Dame
brog," a paper which Alberti started.
and which, in consequence, has lost
hundreds of it's regular subscribers. be-
means the whole affair. but says that
Alberti is strong enough to shoulder it
all. Their comment is in sympathy with
ALBERT, but it can hardly be possible
that it can gain many friends for the
paper. A dispatch states that the other
day, prominent lady declared at a
dinner, which she gave to a number OF
her friends, that the Aiberti scandal
should not be discussed at the table.
But soon the conversation began to lag
and finally became painfully silent
Then the lady admitted that she was
playing losing game, and told tie
guests that she would let loose Alberti
upon them. All at once everybody had
something interesting TO say about the
fallen idol.
There is one court scandal after an
other. Tho latest sensation is that fur
nfshed by one Miss Esche. who publish
ps charges of scandalOus immortality
among army officers at the court. She
was finally sued by the public prosecu-
tor and it will be interesting to note
whether or not she can prove her
charges.
Danish papers have no little comment
to make regarding the long visit of
Queen Alexandra with Princess Vic
toria at the Norwegian court. It ap-
pears that he British queen prefers an
extended visit in Christiania, instead
of Copenhagen.

JOHNSON WOULD CANADA
Believes the Protective Tariff Sheaid
Be Removed Would Permit Cana.
dians to Flood and Depreci-
ate Minnesota Market.

Gov. ]. A. Johnson advocates
the removal of the duty on all
products of the Canadian North
west coming into Minnesota.
He so states in an article IN
the October issue Of The World
To-day, over his own signature.
The article is titled, "An Amerl-
can Commonwealth" and over
half page is devoted to argu-
ment favoring utter elimination
of the protective tariff on Canadi-
an products. He writes in part ::
"The second great gift which
Minnesota must and will have
from the government at Wash
.ington is the utter overthrow OF
that artichcial barrier which now
shuts it's cities off from their ma
tural and proper field Of activity,
the Canadian Northwest" "
Gov. Johnson thus declares
himself against protecting the in
terests of Minnesota farmers. If
the governors policy were fol-
lowed out it would result in mil
lions Of dollars, loss every year
for the farmers of Minnesota.
Do YOU doubt it?
Take the subject OF wheat
alone. Last fall the Minnesota
wheat crop totaled 67,6oo,ooo
bushels. There is a difference Of
s cents bushel III the price Of
wheat at Winnipeg and at, for
instance, Minneapolis. IF Cana
dian wheat were allowed to food
Minnesota without a tariff, of
c0urse the price would drop to
the Canadian quotation. This S
cent difference on last falls Min
nes0ta wheat crop alone would
mean a loss Of S5AO2,O 900. to Min
nes0ta farmers.
Mr.. Farmer, how would you
like to have Gov. Johnson's plan
carried out all along the line2

THE TRUTH ABOUT THOSE LECTURES.

Gov Johnson has been chal-
lenged to explain whether or not
he would continue to devote his
time to the lecture platform
should he happen to be reelected
Governor. He has failed to re-
spond. The truth is due the pub
lie. Sometime before his norni-
nation for third term Gov. John
son contracted with the Slayton
Lyceum Bureau of Chicago to
devote practically his entire time
during the year 1909 to 1ecturing.
After his denomination that. con-
tract was slightly modified. The
modification permits Gov Johnson
to cancel lecture dates if re-elect-
ed governor during the session of
the legislature the first part Of the
new year, and that is ali, The
contract in its present form still
holds Gov. johnson, whether re
elected or not, to go on the lee
ture platform as soon as the leg
is1ature adjourns and devote most
of his time the remainder of the
year to lecturjng at $4,000 a
night.
A gentleman recently asking
the SIayton Lyceum Bureau at
Chicago for an open date for Gov,
Johnson in a western town was
Informed that no, matter whether
the Governor was reelected or
not, the earliest he could have

legislator was present and declined
to respond to roll call when the cer-

such circumstances is certainly ine1-
cusable With Senate John A. John
son this was true in 1901 on passage,
Of Senate File 4e7 to regulate saloons
and require them to be closed sun
days and electfon days; this was true
OF Senator Johnson in 1901 on passage
Of Senate File 326, bill to rrevene
adulteration OF foods, drugs ana
liquors. This was true of Senator
Johnson In 1901 on Anal passage OF
House File 44e, bial to prevent the
aduIteration Of linsead oil. This was
true of Senator johnson IN 1904 on
anal passage Of Senate F1le sac, to
prevent dec tion In the sale Of tnsA-
tation butter This was true OF Sem
ator Johnson in 1901 On final passage
OF Senate File 325, d bill In felataen
to the manufacture and sale OF iaTd,
lard compounds and substitutes OF
food prepared thersfrom and to pre-
serve public health. This was true
OF Senator Johnson In 1901 on final
passage Of House File 402. an act In
relation to sale of honey compounded
and adulterated, and to prevent fraud
and preserve the public health.
Do you wonder that the biography
of Gov. Johnson, issued for Demo-
cratic campaign purposes, and TO gain
a third term, Intentionally fails to
mention the fact that for two sessions

Good Example DemOcracy's Omis-
sion and the ReasoR They
Were Forgetful.

Minnesota Democracy has recently
issued pocket size folder, contain
ing the biography OF Gov. John A.
Johnson: Strange as it may seem,
| this Biographical sketch, which must
have received the sanction OF Mr..
Johnson, fails to say one werd Of the
fact that our governor-lecturer served
as state senator in 1899 and 1901.
Why this omission?
Such an important link In the
governors political career could not
have been omitted except by inten-
tion, and where a period in the life
OF a public official is suppressed by
himself and associates such period
deserves investigation
The Legislative Journals, which are
the Official records of the proceedings
OF both Senate and House, tell an in
terestfng story relative to Senator
John A. Johnson, our present gov
ernor.
A few days ago in Northern Mime
sofa he loudly proclaimed himself the
friend Of drainage. He had one great
chance to prove his friendship to
drainage, during the session OF 1899
when the senate considered Senate
File 211-"An act to establish the
State Drainage Commission to provide
for the drainage Of swamp lands, and
to appropriate money thereto" "a
bill Of vital Importance to Northern
Minnesota. The record shows the bill
passed, 36 ayes to nays, and that
Senator Johnson voted against this
measure.
In his keynote speech, and many
times since, Gov. Johnson has pro-
claimed that he stands for 'tconstruc-
tive progress and practical state de-
veIopment.' Actions speak louder
than words.
AS senator during the session Of
1901, We find Gov. Johnson voting
against Senate File 386-"A bill to
increase the. state road and bridge
fund, to create a state highway
commission and prescribe their
duties. and to provide for the con-
structi0n Of public highways" So
ably lid Senator Johnson combat this
important measure for the states de-
velOpment that the bill only received
II votes in its favor TO 27 against.
Friends of good roads were only able
to eventually get this measure
throueh the legislature when Senator
JohrtB977 got out Of it.
