FOR COUNTY OFFICES.
JACOBSON is NOT A FOOL.

The County Chairman" writes this
for the St. Paul Dispatch: -. +.
JacObson's statement to the effect that
if the cities will be good, the country
will do its part as far as his election
is concerne has been taken up by
the democratic leaders to mean that
the Lac qui Parle man is trying to pit
the country against the cities, and
thus fan the old embers into a flame,
with consequent benefit to himself In
his legislative days Jake's one and
chief asset, as far as his own district
was concerned, was his readiness to 60
after any treasury raiding game ema-
mating from the cities. His watchfnl-
ness in. this respect made him strong
with the rural committees, but, to his
credit, it had to be said that when
he did sound the alarm it was not
without cause. He always stood for
what was right and above board. That
jacobson is now attempting any such
thing as the democrats credit him
with is not believed He knows him
self that it would do his cause more
harm than good Jake may not be
pretty boy, but he has brains, and
they have stood him well throughout
his political career There are few
mistakes to his credit"

HARMONY THE KEYNOTE.

Harmony between the president and
congress is the keynote of letter
which President Roosevelt has written
to Hon. William B. Mckinley, chair
man of the republican congressional
committee. In this letter the presi-
dent says:
h agree with all that you say as. to
the amount of affirmative and con-
structive legislation for the social and
economic benefit of our people which
has been accomplished by the con-
gress during the last seven years. The
law establishing a national system of
irrigation was of vital Importance, and
the homestead law. The interstate
commerce law has been amended so as
to make it a new law, with three fold
the efficiency of the old law. The en-
actment of the pure food law was of
almost or quite equal Importance. The
creation of the department of COM
merce and labor, together with the
creation of bureau of corporations,
which marks the beginning of federal
control over the huge corporations
doing an interstate business, the en-
poyers' liability law, the safety APP
piance law limiting the working hours
of railway employs, the meat inspec-
ton law, the denaturated alcohol law,
the anti-rebate law, the laws increas-
ing the powers of the department of
Justice in dealing with those, regard
less of wealth and power, who infract
the law, the law making the Govern
ment liable for injuries to its en-
ployees, the laws under which the Pa
name canal was acquired and is. be-
ing built, the Philippines admins
tered, and the navy developed, the laws
creating a permanent census bureau
and reforming the consular service and
the system of naturalization, the law
forbidding child labor in the District
of Columbia, the law providing COM
mission under which our currency sys-
tenn can be put on thoroughly salts
factory basis, the laws for the proper
administration of the forest service,
the laws for the admission of Okla
homa and the development of Alaska,
the great appropriations for the de-
velopment of agriculture, the legal pro-
hibition of campaign contributions
from corporations-all these represent
but portion of what has been done
by congress. and form record of sub
stantial legislative achievement in har-
mony with the best and most progress
sive thought of our people.
at is urgently necessary, from the
standpoint of the public interest, to
elect Mr.. Taft, and a republican con-
gross which will support him; and they
seek election on platform which spe-
cifically pledges the party alike in it's
executive and legislative branches, to
continue and develop the policies which
have been not merely protest but ac-
ted upon during these seven years.
These policies can be successfully car
ried through only by the hearty CO.
operation of the president and the con-
gress in both its branches, and it is
therefore peculiarly important that
there should obtain such harmony be-
