Veterans Record
Before the board took the subject
up in executive session today 1t heard
a somewhat detailed statement by Col.
Stewart relative to his record in the
army and listened to brief arguments
by Col. Stewards counsel and Recorder
Howland, who spoke for the service,
Col. Stewart not being permitted to go
outside his medical record, and when
his attorney made an effort to elicit
from him the circumstances under
which he had been transferred from
Fort Barrancas, Fla, to Fort Grant,
Ariz.. Capt Rowland interposed posi-
tive objection which was sustained by
the board.
In his statement Col. Stewart said
he had been in the habit of taking
horseback rides from twenty to thirty
five miles a day for many years.
He stated he had been in the service
for almost forty years and added that
there were only four officers having
longer record.
~ Arguments Brief
The arguments of counsel were brief,
Mr.. Latimer for Col. Stewart content
ing himself with retrospect of his
clients service, which. he said, had
been the subject of much favorable
comment, the only criticism being by
Gen. Grant. who said Col Stewart was
an able and efficient officer but that
his deficiency was marred by irasci-
bility."
Capt. HowIand in reply contended
there was but one issue before the
board and that was whether Col. Stew
art is now 80 seriously afflicted by
heart disease as to be incapacitated for
duty as an officer in the army.
He declared also that notwithstand-
ing Col. Stewards long record he had
spent only six months of that time in

RANCE PEOPLE ARE !.
. UNIT FOR JOHNSON
Think It Safer to Trust State In
terests to a Man Tried and
True.
Than Experiment With a Chronic
Politician of the jacobson
Stripe.

The following excerpts from, the
editorial page of the Mesaba Ore of
the 18th inst. sh. ows pretty conclus-
lively how the two candidates for Gov
ernor stand in the estimation of Range
voters:
Governor Johnson.
mt. Johnson has made promises to
the people before an dhas never failed
to redeem them, therefore the conf
dence in the governors honesty and
integrity has not been shaken by the
attempt Of the machine to discredit
him in this part Of the state.
MT. Johnson has proven that he is
big enough to be governor for the
whole state and his record shows that
his constant aim has been to fulfill
the mission.
THE Ore believes that it were safer
to trust the interests Of the state to
a big man, tried and true, like Mr..
Johnson, than to experiment with a.
chronic politician who seeks an office
he Is not able to All with honor and
credit to the state land who is being
forced through by the remnant Of a
political machine that has disgraced
the state every time it secured any
power.
Mr.. Johnson has been a success in
life and as governor of Minnesota has
brought great fame to the state-has
done it without any windmill, watch
dog or pyrotechnical displays what
soever.
Mr.. Jacobson.
Mr. Jacobson, when a member Of
the state legislature, 'bucked' every
measure that had for its object the
development and betterment Of north
ern Minnesota.
Mr. jacobson framed and carried
into the state legislature his famous
tonnage tax bill, and fought for it's
passage with all the vigor of his
sturdy manhood We Of the iron ore
mining regions have to thank Mr..
jacobson for the Introduction of this
piece Of legislation intended to RIB
us Of that which belongs to us and
upon which we depend for living.
Mr.. Jacobson's sense Of right was
brilliantly exemplifed in his opposi-
tfon to the state normal school for
Duluth, and in his manly effort to
prevent the state from spending state
money in charging upon the states
school system. Mr.. Jacobson is an
uneducated man and he seems to de-
sire that the children of the state shall
grow up surrounded by a shade Of the
darkness that envelops him.
Mr.. Jacobson did everything pos
stble within his power against the
state drainage measure. The measure
was to have benefited northern Mime
sofa and Mr.. Jacobson thought It was
absolutely right to not recognize the
cry from the north.
MIR Jacobson, always wanting
something political, wants to be gov
ernor of Minnesota and would sell his
soul for the honor and the pull behind
it.
minnesota is too good a state to be
run by a machine as it was before the
people revolted and eletced as gov
ernor one Of the best, most honest,
fearless, high minded and capable
men Of the nation today-Governor
John A. Johnson.

ing communication

The following = communication is
from the pen of our talented young
friend, P. G. Phillips Of West Duluth
The evils and inequalities which
now obtain in human society impress
Mr.. Phillips so tremendously that to
his mind socialism is the only means
Of escape from them. These evils he
charges to a system called capitalism,
and their cure he accredits to sys-
tenn called socialism, q
After all it looks to us like mere
play upon words. A system by what
soever name designated is just what
the human beings of which it Is COM
prised make it.. .: IS,
Society must be- reformed from the
bottom up and not from the top down.
Reform the units and you need have
no anxiety about the aggregate. The
measure of justices and freedom which
people enjoy is not dependent upon
the name Of their system of govern
ment, but upon the character Of the
people themselves, and upon the men
whom they entrust with the admin
istration of their affairs.
We say that the form Of government
called representative democracXs Is
the best yet conceived by the mind
of man, and that a monarchy is not
to be compared with it. =, But truth
compels us to admit, that British sub
jects are happy in their freedom under
monarchy, while many South Amer
leans are victims Of tyranny and prac-
t1cally slaves under so-called demo-
cracies. There is very little, if any
thing, in a name. 1t is the law, poll
cy, and methods pursued that are i'm
portant, and these, in the last analysis,
are dependent upon the character of
the people themselves.
AS a protest against the encroach-
ments Of capitalistic greed upon our
nations governmental policies, Mr.
Phillips argument is admirable, and
clearly, though perhaps not Intention
ally points to the duty of support, ing

showing that, according to the reports
of the New York savings banks, the
number Of accounts opened for the
year ending July l was 1900 less
than for the year before, while the
number OF accounts closed was $4,000
greater than the year before. The
amount deposited was $35, 600 600 less
and the amount withdrawn $41,OOO,OOO
more. This shows a large shrinkage
in the savings Of tie people Of that

wholesaler with the statement that on

the wholesale grocers, biscuit bakers
and confectioners Of the United States,
asking for figures showing trade con-
ditions at that time compared with six
months before. The following are the
statements for the eastern states

"Staple groceries, 10 per cent. less in

To show how the trusts can escape
from the evils that affiict others, Mr..

It Is not always necessary to wash
lace curtains, even when they are dis
colored with dust and smoke. Wash
ing curtains shortens their life, and
aften a treatment with cornmeal will
cleanse them perfectly. Take down
the curtains and shake them free from
dust. Spread a sheet on the floor and
lay one curtain smoothly on it. cover
thickly with corn meal, lay on an
other curtain and again cover with the
meal. Continue until all the curtains
are covered with the meal, then roll
