The Knickerbocker Trust COMPANY
OF New York, which suspended pay
ment on October p, 1907, has reopened
TOR business. The suspension of this
company was one of the most serious
developments of the financial strin-
gency last fall and it's resumption of
business under new management has
created feeling of renewed confidence
in the institution. Thirty million dol
lars are on deposit with this COMPANY.
and arrangements have been made bv
which the depositors may draw, if
so inclined, one-third of this amount
at once and the other thirds. with
interest, in two and one-half wears.
This is certainly encouraging. and
shows that the company is doing its
best to make good. q

Patterson, N. J.-has had

John Sharp Williams, leader of the
minority in the house of representa-
tlves, says: "Some things in the
presidents recent message are so i'm
mediately important to the interests of
the entire country as to pass the
bounds of partisanship, and I would
like the country to know that all the
president has to do is to deliver
twenty or twenty-five votes in favor of
them, and these, conjoined with the
solid democratic vote, will put them
through" From this it would seem
that the insurrecto republicans, and
not the democrats, are responsible for
the holding up of some of the bills
which the president desires passed.

It is too bad that the Minneapolis
authorities permitted Emma Goldman
to deliver lecture on anarchy, for
even though the speech was not of an
incendiary nature it can have no other
effect than to awaken among the law
less element feeling against the

going tosuppress anarchy we should
strike at the root of the evil-prohibit
expounders of the Internal doctrine
from sowing it's seed through the
medium of public addresses.

HE HAS GR0WN IN PUBLIC EAYOR. .

We fail to, understand. how Mr..
Jacobson can imagine that he is as
strong candidate for the governor
ship now as he was two years ago,
and if he could not win out at that
time, how he can expect to be success
full now.-Swift County Review.
We fail to understand how any man
who favored Mr.. Jacobson for COVER
nor in 1905 should oppose him in 1908.
1t was not Mr.. Jacobson's fault that
he was defeated for the nomination at
Duluth two years ago. He was un-
doubtedly the first choice of the rank
and file of the republican party of the
state in 1906. The Vaccinations of
the "interests'' and federal Office
holders prevented his nomination. He
accepted his defeat manfully and &C.
corded the nominee loyal and whole
hearted support. There was no doubt
or uncertainty as to Mr.. Jacobson's
position in the campaign of 1906.
Can as much be truthfully said of the
gentleman the Review is supporting?
What sin of omission or commission
has Mr.. jacobson been guilty of dur
ing the past two years that would JUS
tify any of his friends in deserving
him? Is he not the same manly, out
spoken, fearless champion of the
peoples interests that he always has
been?
The Review is an ably-conducted
newspaper-it ranks among the best
OF the state publications-and we
believe it means to be fair, but it
should not permit it's zeal for it's home
candidate, Mr.. Young, to blind it to
the fact that J. F. jacobson is
stronger than ever with the republi-
can masses and that at the present
time his nomination is practically as
sured. If nominated we believe he
will be elected against any candidate
the opposition may name, and if
elected Minnesota will have a COVER
nor who will do his duty under any
and all circumstances,

j. F. jacobson at Home,

We wish every voter in Minnesota
could be made familiar with the every-
day life of Hon. Jacob F. jacobson.
1t is genuine American democracy.
He is not afraid of work, and what
ever ne does he does we'll. When he
raises his voice the people hear and
heed him, whether it be from the
auctiOneer's block or in the halls of
legislation. Less than two years ago
the writer, in company with J. N.
Nicholson of Blue Earth, was called
to Madison, the home of Mr.. Jacob
son. After attending to our business
affairs, we called upon Mr.. Jacobson.
We found Jake, as he is Familiarity
called. He was at his extensive
machine yards setting up binders.
His hands we're black and greasy and
his face was more or less ditto. After
a hearty greeting he resumed his work
while continuing the visit. He worked
with that intelligent, well-directed
energy that has always enabled him
to accomplish his undertakings,
whether in his machine yard or advo-
eating the gross earnings bill;
whether adjusting the delicate parts
OF binder or doing his sworn duty
as member of the board of control.
he IS man of the people and one of
the noblest works of God-an honest
man. He should receive the nomina-
tlon and If nominated will certainly
lead the republican party to victory,
and do honor to the high Office of
