the same result. Unearthly noises and

CONVENTION OF THE
LEAGUE,
IRISH

The national convention of the Irish
League. of America, which ended its
biennial session in Faneuil hall, Bos.
ton. on Wednesday last, was one of
the most largely attended and most
enthusiastic gathering Of the League
ever held in America.
The work of the Irish Parliamentary
Party in the House of Commons was
approved without reservation and the
policy of the Irish Nationalist lead.
ers commended in the highest terms.
The friends of Ireland in America GER
tainly gave assurance, if assurance
was needed. to Mr.. Redmond that
there is no division in the ranks in
America. The resolutions pledged the
League to the raising of $4,000 for
the perpetuation of the work.
The Irish Parliamentary leaders,
Messrs. Redmond and Devlin. brought
a message of hope and record of ac-
complishment which justified the hone.
They had no words of condemnation
for those in Ireland and America who
favor other means than parliamentary
agitation. Mr.. Redmond said that he
had the highest respect for the mo-
tives and the patriotism Of those who
differed from the Parliamentary party,
but very little respect for their COM
mon sense. Mr.. Redmond. by the
speeches delivered in this country has
advanced his reputation as a leader
His actions and his words justify the
estimate Of his character and ability
which is now world wide. The Irish
Parliamentary Party need fear no dis
aster while John Redmond remains it's
leader. He has that poise Of judg-
ment. the lack of which was fatal to
many of his predecessors. The ma
tional convention just adjourned
proves that there is no division in
the ranks in this country worthy of
note.

THE STATE CAMPAIGN.

us Sldle Campaign mas Oeen opened.
Both Governor johnson and Mr.. ia
cobson have made their keynote
speeches. Each seems to be more
than anxious to stand upon his rec
ord. This is the honest position to
take. In fact no other position would
avail either. The voters of this state
will select the next Governor on the
records made by John A. Johnson as
Governor and the record Of jacobson
while member Of the legislature.
Governor Johnson is particularly anx.
tous to run upon his record.
The Republican candidate seemingly
made a mistake when he charged ex-
travagance. BY SO doing, he charged
the Republican legislature. Governor
Johnson was quick to take advantage
Of this mistake and has come to the
defense Of the Republican legislature
and himself. Jacobson claims that
! this extravaganza Is due to divided re-
sponsibility, while the Governor claims
that he and the Republican legislature
| work together as tremendously as If
| they belonged to the same political
party. Jacobson. by charging the
faults Of the legislature to the Cover
nor, has given the Governor the op-
portunity of claiming the credit for all
the good things which were done. We
predict that Mr.. jacobson will find it
necessary to change his attitude be-
fore the campaign progresses far. A
great many Of the Republican mem
bers Of the last legislature are can
didates for reelection and they will
hardly enthuse over the candidacy of
n man who goes about the state chars-
ing extravaganza. 1t is certainly a pc
| culiar condition Of affairs. The Re-
publican candidate asks the people to
| reject the Governor because a Repub-
lican legislature and Democratic
Governor cannot work in harmony.
and at the same time charges the
Governor with responsibility for acts
which originated with the legislature.
If there is any fault to be found. the
trouble arises from the fact that the
legislature and the Governor worked
in too much harmony.
AS election grows nearer. the con-
viction will grow stronger and strong
or that John A. Johnson has made 4
good Governor. That he has brought
credit to the State Of Minnesota. and
we believe that the election returns
will show that the people Of the state
appreciate the distinction which he
las brought to the state. Minnesota
is proud of Governor johnson, not
alone because Of the record he has
made as Governor, but because Of the
part that he has taken in national at
tairs. When he has gone outside of
the state, he has measured up to the
standard Of the biggest men in the
country. His part in the convention
Of governors at Washington was a
leading one.
The presidential year is looked to
by Republican managers as their sole
hope Of carrying Jacobson through.
John A. johnson was elected Governor
of this state in the last presidential
year when Roosevelt's majority was
more than 100000. The most enthu-
siastic Republicans do not hope for
more than one-fourth Of that major
ity for TAFT Indeed. IL wo,,id mt N

PAPAL HISTORY IN COINS
A Series Said to Extend Over a
Thousand Years.

Thousand Years.
Not the least interesting Of the
pope's jubilee gifts. says the New
York Sun, was the unique gold coin
of Pope Innocent TX, which, recently
exhumed at Acqui. Italy, was con-
Tended for by the coin collectors. King
Victor Emmanuel being an unsuc-
cessful competitor.
This coin the only one in existence
of the reign of Innocent TX, was
needed to make the Vatican collection
of Papal coins complete.
The Papal coins exhibit the por-
traits of many of the Popes and their
coats of arms, and furnish metalli:
history of the coinage Of the Church
from the first issues in the latter part
of the eighth century down to 1870,
when the Papal States we're annexed
to Italy and the Papal mint ceased
operations.
The Papal series OF coins is one Of
the very longest, covering 1.136 years.
The first Pope to issue coins was
Adrian l. The coins of Europe were
then largely in imitation of those Of
the Byzantine Empire. whose gold by.
Eants were generally used through
out the Continent, and the coin Of
Pope Adrian was fair example If
the coinage of the times. 1t showed
a full face portrait. presumably Of St.
Peter. on the diverse, surrounded by
the inscription "Hadrianus P. P" and
the cross on the reverse. very much
after the style of the Byzantine pieces.
Many of the early issues of the
Popes show the name of the reigning
Pope and representation of either
-. Peter or st. Paul. Perhaps no Sc
ries of coins shows greater variety
of design or more skilful execution.
The Church, always a patron of the
arts, employed the foremost artists of
the time, and some of the coins are
from the hands Of such men as Cellini
and Francia.
A gold scudo Of julius H., the de.
sign Of which is credited to Francia.
shows a finely engraved portrait OF
the Pope, with the inscription. "Julils

A DEMAND FOR INDEPENDENCE.

AS the campaign progresses, 1t be-
comes more and more impossible for
the President to refrain from inter-
fering. He is the central figure on the
Republican side. Mr.. Bryan's query:
why not let Taft speak for himself?"
is opportune. Little more than a week
has called forth three letters from the
President. The first. to a friend in
Montana. urging the election Of Taft.
The next to the chairman of the Re-
publican Congressional COMMITTEES.
urging the election Of a Republican
House. The last. an open statement,
repudiating Foraker and those Re-
publicans who obstructed my policy"
1t must be apparent now to everyone
that Taft is a mere proxy. Is it any
wonder that the friends Of Mr.. Taft
have called upon him to take a more
active part in tie campaign? The
American people like independence.
The man who takes orders from a good
boss Is hardly more popular than the
man who takes orders from a venal
boss. President Roosevelt running for
President would be one thing. hut
Roosevelt running for president in the
person of Taft is quite another thing.
From many quarters come demands for
independence on the part Of the Re-
publican candidate. The Dailv News
the most influential evening paper in
Chicago, and which is supporting Taft
says:
1.-THE time has come for Mr.. Taft to
demonstrate that he has fighting
blood. He must cast aside the smooth
phrases recommended to him by his
political managers. He must cease to
court the favor of Republican bosses.
He must go out among the people and
show that there are no strings to him.
The tanning process has gone on too
long. The people Of the United States
do not want to elect a grand Lama
to the White House. They want for
President mortal statesman with
sweat on his brow and strong words
in his mouth. 1t is the opinion of The
Daily News that the campaign of Will
liam Howard Taft is being misman.
aged abominably. The effort to make
tame cat Of a great man Is enough
to make the blood of every honest
American boil. The petty Hitchcocks
and Du Points, and the rest Of them.
are working In way to destroy the
Republican candidate, whether they
know it or not. Their pink tea"
campaign is making the nation un-
easy Their tactics are the tactics of
small men, Of cheap cunning with
neither insight nor ina gination. These
ridiculous managers Of Taft are try
ing to deprive him Of his priceless
possession. the political enemies he
has made. They have succeeded in
attaching Foraker to him in more or
less spectacular manner. What a ca.
lamity is his friendship. in view of his
crawling subserviency to the Standard
OIL Company. for money in hand paid?
They have brought George Cox into
line. They put up Hopkins Of Illinois
to bungle the Republican platform.
They sent out Cannon to speak for
Taft. Taft has got to push aside these
amazing bunglers. He has got to step
out before the people and be himself
to the full extent Of his commanding
personality"

 "Gentlemcn-The policy at Spauld- ing's drug store is to gain the perfect confidence of the public by never rec ommending any medicine or treatment until its virtues have been fully es- tabhshed. The Cooper Remedies were to us an unknown quality. we were very skeptical Of their medicinal value and it was not until several of our customers had received such beneficial results from their use that we could no longer doubt their value that we consented to take the agency for the Cooper Remedies in this territory, heartily endorsing the same.
 Herewith we give the testimonial of a lady whose case came under our personal observation from her being regular customer and she says:

 To secure this would not be leap in the dark. it would be to carry still further the theory of effective govern mental control of corporations which was responsible for the creation of the interstate commerce commission, and for the enlargement of it's powers and for the creation of the bureau of cor porations.
 The interstate commerce legislation has worked admirably. It has bene- fitted the public; it has benefited hon estly managed and wisely conducted railroads and in spite of the fact that the business of the country has enor- mously increased the value of this fed eral legislation has been shown by the way in which it has enabled the fed eral government to correct the most pronounced of the great and varied abuses which existed in the business world 20 years ago-while the many abuses that still remain emphasize the need of further and more thorough- going legislation. Similarly the bu- reau of corporations has amply justi- fled it's creation. In other words. it is clear that the principles employed tc remedy the great evils in the business world have worked well, and they car now be employed to correct the evil. that further commercial growth ha' brought more prominently to the sur face The power and scope of the in

can decide what is faulty, but it has no power to make better what it thus finds to be faulty. There should be an efficient executive body created with power enough to correct abuses and scope enough to work out the complex problems that this great country has developed. It is not sufficient objec- tion to say that such a body may be guilty of unwisdom or of abuses. Any governmental body, whether a court or a commission, whether executive, leg islative or Judicial, if given power enough to enable it to do effective work for good, must also inevitably receive enough power to make it pos sibly effective for evil.
 Therefore it is clear, that (unless a national incorporation law can be
