Who have faith in God and Nature,

Every human heart is human,

There are longings, yearnngs, strivings
For the good they comprehend not,

Cropping blindly in the darkness,
Touch Gods right hand in that darkness
And are lifted up and strengthened

ANOTHER WIN.

Last Saturday River Falls high
took another team into camp. This
time it was the ST. Thomas Tigers,
team from ST. Thomas college, ST.
Paul. They were good team, they
knew the game from A to 2, and
they were out to win. Twice before
they have been here, both times to
play foot ball. In 1905 they played
a to 0 game with the high, and
last fall they were beaten by a score
of p to 5. Saturday they were here
for revenge. A fairly good crowd
saw the game, which was called at
$3.50 on high school campus. In the
preliminary practice the visitors
showed up we'll, and there were a
good many who shook their heads
when they thought Of the possibility
of the high winning. They shook
them harder when the first visitor
smashed the first ball over the plate
for two Dagger. The second man
up hit to p. Symes, who fumbled,
and there was one score in. Smiths
error, next following, landed man
on first. The next hit to +. Symes,
who redeemed himself somewhat by
throwing the runner out at the plate.
There were still two on bases. An
other two Dagger sent another run
over the plate. Pratt then frightened
up and struck out the next two. 1t
was a bad opener, however. In the
locals half, Anderson drew a base
on balls, got second and third on
errors, and scored on F. Symes
single. Sy1nes stole second, went
to third on fly out, and home on
an error by left fielder. Pratt, P.
Symes and Smith were out in order,
and the first inning showed and 2.
Then both teams settled down to
business, both pitchers were work
ing in fine order, and with almost
perfect support the next six innings
showed no change in the score.
The last of the Sth came around,
and as the locals came to bat the
crowd called for something doing.
Sherburne made desperate effort,
but flew out to short. DopkinS hit
hard, but was out, pitcher to first.
Two out and no scores. Anderson
at bat. He steamed a single into
right and was safe on first. Then
he stole second, and scored when F.
Symes put a single between short
and second. Symes started for
second, and scored when the catcher
threw the ball out into center field.
Pratt waited for four bad ones and
walked, and P. Symes promptly sent
a screamer to the side walk for two
bases, putting Pratt on third.

and put single into right, scoring
Symes and Pratt. Rudow tried
hard, but it was fly out, and the
score was to 2. ST. Thomas
wanted to do it in the 9th, and after
Gleason went out to first, Pepin got
two Dagger, but died there when
Tierney flew out to center and
Coonan went out at first. st. Thomas
got five hits off Pratt, four of them
doubles, but in only the first inning
did they do damage. The locals
got 9 hits off Coonan, two of them
doubles, and four of them in the 9Th
inning. Pratt walked 3, Coonan 2.
Each struck out 6. Each team got
errors, St. Thomas getting three
in the first inning, and the locals g..

Tuesday afternoon the high school
iourneyed to Hudson to play Gala
had. Bulman was on the mound
for River Falls. The first inning
resulted in score of to 2 for
River Falls, stupid base running
spelling at least two more scores
for them, while stupider fielding
gave Galahad both theirs. River
Falls got one more in the third and
in the fourth allowed Galahad to
score three on combination of err
rors and passed balls. River Falls
annexed one in the first part of the
fifth, then P. Symes went on the
slab, and Galahad did nothing more
during the game, while River Falls
got one in the seventh and three in
the ninth, making the final score 9
to in their favor and mailing
down the St. Croix championship
past recall. Symes has pitched
seven innings against Ellsworth and
five against Galahad this year,
pitching shut-out ball both times.
He will be on the slab against

school campus.

for Jake's election were in favor of
county option, we should have had
it Tonga go.
We believe, and the record of the
two last legislatures proves our
statement, that we are more apt to
secure remedial and beneficial leg
islation with a governor who is in
dependent of the dominating party,
than if you make the republican
state machine absolutely supreme.
Gov. johnson is more independent
than ever, not having asked for the
denomination, and has national
reputation to sustain during his
third term. The people know that
they can trust him to do the right
thing, and they will rally to his
support on election day with an en-
thusiasm that will send thrill of
pleasure thruout the nation.
And by the way, George, while
your conscience is so sensitive,
what sort Of company are you with
in your attempt to defeat our
honorable sheriff, who has stood so
manfully for just those things for
which you appear so solicitous?

THE BANKING ISSUE.

In one very important matter the
republican and democratic nation
al platforms are agreed, namely.
that our present banking system is
unsafe and a menace to the finan-
cial welfare Of the country. 1t is
we'll known to all that whatever
may be the primary cause of pan
ic, the most important factor after
it has started is the fact that
people become alarmed about the
safety of their deposits and start
runs on the banks, thus forcing the
banks to close. Thus small furry
in one of the big money centers
may cause a panic all over the coun-
try, simply because the people have
40 assurance of the safety Of their
deposits in the banks. Remove
that cause, and it will be almost
impossible to cause a general panic.
As stated, both parties recognize
this fact, and both suggest remedies
for the condition.
Furthermore, both of them agree
that it is the province Of the gov-
ernment to step in and secure the
deposits of the people. The differ
ence comes in the way this is to be
done. The republican platform en-
dorses postal savings banks, where
the people could deposit their
money at a low rate of interest and
have the government backing for
it's safety. The government would
then have to re-deposit the money
in regular banks, making such pro-
visions for its safety as it saw fit.
The system would undoubtedly be
better than the present one, but it
is open to the objection that the
government could give preference
to pet banks and thus strengthen
still further the pet Standard Oil
banks that have received such
marked favors from the administers
tion during the past three admins
trations.
The democratic platform dealers
are in favor Of postal savings banks,
if a better system cannot be oh
tanned; but it advances as a better
way the bank guarantee system.

Under this, there could be no govern
mental favors to any particular bank
or chain of banks. The deposits
would be guaranteed and the de-
positors could place their money in
any bank they saw fit. thus natural
ly keeping the money in the local
banks instead of concentrating it
in the Standard Oil banks of New
York to be used by the Sytsem in
commanding the markets in Wall
Street. All the banks would be be-
hind the guarantee for each bank,
and all would therefore be in favor
of the strictest kind of laws regu-
lating banking in order to make it
as safe for the bankers as possible.
The danger of runs would be
eliminated, and the only thing to
look out for would be the loose sys-
TEN OF making loans that prevails
among some banks today.
The difference then between the
two remedies proposed is the natur-
al difference between the republican
and democratic parties. The re-
publican party stands for concentra-
tion of power and special favors;
the democratic party fundamentally
stands for diffusion of power, leav-
ing as much of it as possible in the
hands of local, county and state
governments. The proposed reme-
dies reflect this difference. With
government favorable to certain
banking interests and drawing sup
port from them in campaigns, as
the republican party has done in
the past, the postal savings banks,
while being an improvement over
present conditions in that it would
safeguard the people, s deposits,
would tend to centralize the money
power still more. In the hands of
an administration not so bound to
those special interests, this danger
would be somewhat modified but
there would always be the ad-
ded incentive to the interests to
get an administration that would
be ready to dish out these new spe-
cial favors. The bank guarantee
plan removes this danger, leaves
the banks all over the country in
dependent of governmental favors
and at the same time removes the
main cause Of panics. The voters
should weigh this matter we'll and
decide which system they prefer.

INCONSISTENT AS CAN BE.

Mr.. Lawson and the Willmar Tri-
bune have been particularly active
in the advocacy of temperance leg
islation. the nucleous of which has
been county option. The Tribune
and it's editor have done good and
effective work in the field of tenn
perance education. We have
great respect for Bro. Lawson, our
former employer, but we are forced
by the dictates of our conscience
to disagree with him in his support
of a man for governor whose elec-
tion we believe is the hope of all
those who would retard moral pro-
gress in this state. .-Atwater Re-
publican Press.
Now, George, while we appreci-
ate your good opinion, we do not
think the facts warrant you in your
statement regarding Gov. Johnson
being a moral reprobate. The re-
publican machine politicians, who
to man are lined up for Jake, are
not working to secure county op-
tion law. In communities where
liquor sentiment is strong they are
trying just as hard to convince
those interested that Jake will do
nothing against the liquor interests
as they are in this county to make
US believe he will do the reverse.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER IA, 'O8.
ATWATER EDITOR WEARS PAR.
TISAN SPECTACLES.

We have been 'nsistent all the
time and very few issues of our
paper have appeared that did not
appeal in some manner to the moral
instincts of our readers. Locally
we stood strong for local option
and the big gain in the dry" vote
in our village testifies to the result
Of our work. In the county we de-
clared for county option and in the
state for strict enforcement of the
Jaws. This has been our consistent
attitude all the time. And we still
stand pat. The real live issue in
the state campaign this year is
county option. Notwithstanding the
fact that both Of the large parties
omitted it. We are convinced that
with Mr.. Jacobson in the governors S
office county option bill will be
signed and become a law, and we
are equally convinced that with
Gov. Johnson in his present Office
nothing will be accomplished along
this line. Therefore as consistent
supporter Of temperance progress
we are for the man who is right
and against the man who is wrong
on these questions. .-Atwater Re-
publican Press.
Editor Johnson has permitted his
partisan prejudices to get the bet
ter Of him. 1t is not fair to as
sumo that Gov. Johnson would not
sign a county option bill, when
Gov. johnson said he would, within
the hearing Of said editor at the
meeting in the town hall in At
water. The question is not one of
getting the county option bill
signed. Had the last republican
legislature passed such a bill two
years ago Governor johnson would
have signed it. The question is to
get such bill passed. The lieu
tenant governor, Adolph 0. Eber-
hart, whose name the Republican
Press editor runs at the top of his
editorial column next to that of
Jacobson, deliberately appointed a
temperance (?) committee which
stood 8 to l against county option
in the last senate. That had a d.
rect bearing on the passing of the
bill. Now, if the Republican Press
is so wonderfully consistent, why
isn't it "against the man who was
wrong on this question?'' Because
by SO doing it might have to advo-
cate the election of a prQhibitionist,
which would not perhaps have ZAP
pealed to the moral instincts of the
people, in the manner in which
the Republican Press is appealing
in other columns Of it's last paper.
Candidate jacobson says that county
option is a matter for legislative
enactment and Gov. johnson says
no man who is fit to be governor
would veto a measure Of that kind
if passed. Honors are even as far
as we can see, and in attempting
to misrepresent the governors po-
sition in this matter the Republican
Press is making a sad mistake,
which will react more to its own
detriment than it will hurt Gov.
johnson, in whose good record and
brilliant achievements Atwater
and neighboring community take
quite as much pride as do the peo-
pie of Minnesota generally.
