of second term had much to co
with the size of his majority.

Lawrence H. Johnson of Minneap-
oils has already announced himself a
candidate for speaker of the House
next winter. We believe that Mr..
johnson has had that honor often
enough and that it is time the coun-
try was recognized again. A county
that piles sup 5000 majority for a
Democratic governor has no strong
party claim for leadership of the
next house. Mr.. Johnson was re-
sponsible for the temperance COM
mittee in the House two years ago
and would undoubtedly be accept
able to the same interests again.
Republicans ought to know when
they have enough johnson.

The Duluth Herald did magnifi-
cent service for Governor Johnson
in the recent campaign. That the
Governor could win there in spite of
his standing on platform which de-
cared for tonnage tax on iron ore
is one of the things that can only be
explained by the fact that the Her
aid convinced it's readers that the
platform and the man on the plat
form were two very different prop
ositlons. Governor johnson has no
more really potent supporter than
Manager. Anton Weiss of the Her
aid, whose loyalty to his friends, be
they Republicans or Democrats, can
never be questioned.

There is no use in trying to tone
down the fact that political cam
paign means fight, in which both
sides are exceedingly prone to lose
their temper and say things better
left unsaid. The editor of this pa
per has tried to speak without NAL
ice in all cases. and has no excuse for
trying to strike hard blows for what
he thought was right. Fighting be-
tween foes who are really honest
ought to make them better friends
after they have their controversy
finally arbitrated by the court of
public opinion. Many of us will live
to fight another day, and if we don't
there will be others to rise up and
carry on the war for the principles
of good government.

INSTRUCT SCHOOL CHILDREN.
Postmaster General Would Have Postal
Regulations Taught.

An order has just been issued by
Postmaster General G. L. Won Meyer
which may be Of sufficient interest
to Gazette readers to reproduce it ir
full.
''Postmasters are hereby directed
to confer with their local school
authorities with the view of adopt
ing the most effective method of in
structing school children as to or
ganization and operations of the
postal service. These instructions
should cover such features of the
service as the delivery of the mails,
the classification of mail matter, the
registry and money order systems,
and particularly the proper address
ing of letters and Importance of
placing return card on envelopes.
Postmasters should arrange. if pos
sible, to deliver personal talks to the
pupils on these subjects and should
give teachers access to the Postal
Guide and the Postal Laws and Reg
ulations and render them every as
sistance in securing necessary in
formation"

Laying Aside His Burdens.
Duluth News Tribune.

Duluth News Tribune.
Probably the happiest man in the
United States is Theodore Roosevelt.
He has earned every ripple of it.
His administration is endorsed by
splendid vote of confidence and his
official troubles are about over.
His place in history is secure and
he has seen the fruits of his labors
not only garnered, but the new har
vest made ready for the reaper. He
has seen the man who is not only his
closest friend, but his most intimate
co-worker chosen as his successor.
He has seen success pile upon sue
cess all for the good of his country
and now he can lay down his bur-
dens of strife and enjoy to the ut
most with his fellows, the results of
his labors. He can feel the lightness
and buoyancy of the strong man
who puts aside a great burden which
he has carried to the end of the
road.
On March 13 he sails for Africa
tospend two years exploring strange
lands and hunting wild game worthy
of the proves. He will in this
way avoid any possible misjudge-
ment and free Mr.. Taft of any sus-
picion of his over-lordship or of his
dictation.
He knows that the work which for
eight years has had his whole inter-
est, in which has been wrapped all
of his intensity and in which he has
put his whole heart and mind will
go on and that his successor needs
neither advice nor watching.
He knows that while Judge Taft's
ways are not his ways, their objects
are identical, their sympathies the
same and the results will be the
same. He will sail like the school
boy for his vacation and that his
two years may be al his fancy has
painted them will be the hope of the
sc, 900, 900 people he leaves behind in
the daily grind of stumbling along
at the Lords work.

Conservative Republicans in this
vicinity are not greatly surprised to
know that Congressman Hammond
won out for reelection in the second
district by decisive majority. Two
years is too short time for voters
to forget their prejudices and the
election of Hammond in his first
campaign showed conclusively that
the objection to Mr.. McCleary was
both political and personal. The lit
tie schoolmaster had lectured his
pupils on the tariff without convinc-
ing them that his position was right.
and the consequence was that a
good many in the Republican class
were simply determined not to have
him for teacher any longer. And
Mr.. McCleary's Obvious willingness
this year to teach that the world
was round or flat to suit the voters
of his district did not help much.
We are.inclined to think that James
Thompson would have been better
off politically as we'll as financially if
he had held on to that government
job under the postmaster general
and bided his time for making an
other appeal to the voters. It is on
" fairness to add that the people Of
his district believed that they had q
good congressman in Mr.. Hammond
and the feeling that he was worthy

the fact that there still remains sub

An analysis. of the votes cast on
the Sd settles the controversy as to
whether Jacobson was supported by
the interests or not. Of the $4,000
majority conceded to johnson last
Thursday, over $4,000 were cast in
ten counties in which manufacturing
and railroad interests are more or
less in the ascendency. These coun-
ties are Hennepin, Ramsey, St.
Louis, Winona, Scott, Stearns, Da-
kota, Rice, Carver and Blue Earth,
which will be instantly recognized
as the leading manufacturing coun-
ties of the state. We do not believe
it we'll to array the agricultural and
manufacturing interests of our state
against each other and we concede
that more than half of the counties
of the state gave Johnson MAORI
ties, but we submit that there is no
basis in the election returns to show
that the.great corporations and their
employees did anything but seek,
openly or secretly, to defeat the Re-
publican candidate for governor.
Mr.. Jacobson has been fairly defeat
ed by the majority, but having made
a gain of about fifty thousand over
the Republican vote of two years
ago, his defeat is not a -dishonorable
one.

Every political campaign is educa-
tional. This is one compensation for
a number of disagreeable features
attending all political contests, es-
pecially our quadrennial scrap when
both national and state issues are
threshed out and decided. We do
not assent to the proposition that it
would be better for the nation if
presidents were elected for a six
year term. 1t might be better for
the business interests, but good citi-
zenship is more essential for national
prosperity than wealth, and the
average voter should be stirred up
to a sense of his responsibility often
err than once in four years. The
election of congressman every two
years gives the wayfaring man a
look-in on national issues every other
year, and an incentive for a more
searching investigation Of them is
offered at each presidential cam
naipn.

Clague is fully confirmed in his de-
termination not to be a candidate

With the division close in this coun-

this district being represented by
a Democratic senator two years

Fife Wheat.
Years ago, about century, David
Fife, Scotchman of Otonabee, Ont,
sent to a friend in Glasgow for a
small bag of seed wheat to try in a
cleared patch Of the backwoods. The
friend obtained some seed from a
vessel just in from Danzig. Unfortu-
nately it was fall wheat and reached
David Fife in the spring. Neverthe-
less David Fife sowed it in spring.
One can guess how feverishly the
backwoods farmer watched for the
growth of his experiment. Only three
wheat heads survived till the fall, but
those three wheat heads were entirely
free. Of the rust that had ruined his
neighbours crops, and those three heads
really represented a new variety Of
wheat, fall wheat turned into a
spring wheat David Fife treasured
the three heads and planted them in
spring. Such was the beginning Of
