away from Miss oi,.,n and poured 1t

MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEEDS A SUITABLE REMEDY.

The Forum calls to the attention OF
patrons Of local theatres in that up
to-date and enlightened city, that a
particular theatre is deeeivlng its
customers and presenting fake" pic
lures of the Gans-Nelson fight, the
said pictures being not those OF the
vital struggle between these two In
teIlectual and physical giants, which
VIM 90 down with the other twelve or
fifteen decisive battles of history.
According to the authority Of the
Forum-we presume it is the sport
ing editor, for no other department
would be SO closely in touch with
the mat and the squared circles-the
pictures being palmed of are those
Of a prior and unimportant battle,
while people are paying good mon
ey, albeit In small individual
amounts, to see the real battle In
which the Danish lion disposed OF
the Ethiopian kangaroo, and forever
established the supremacy Of the
Caucasion race.
80 far as we are concerned, one
prize fight is pretty much the same
rs another, and we are among those
unsophisticated and unskilled per-
sons who might be easily cheated by
the palming of Of fake pictures. But
there is moral side to this question
that becomes grave-and that is the
right of theatrical manager to de-
Jude hts patrons into the belief that
they will see something he has not
ON hand to show them. We have a
pure food law, designed to keep cop
peras and sulphates and borax out Of
our stomachs unless we really want
It there and eat 1t knowingly. We
have a pure drug law. by which we
know when we are getting NOR
phine in our harmless headache
powders. The satisfaction Of the in
tellectual man is possibly not as i'm
portant as that Of the physical, but
surely we have. the right, II we pay
Tor Gans-Nelson, 1ast-battle, decisive
struggle, blood-splashed and bruise-
decorated, to get what we are paying
for, and not the tame and unim-
portant maneuvers of lesser lights
ii. the world of pugilism. The mat
ter is respectfully referred to the
conscience Of the American people,
and If some remedy can be provided
Tor IT,: we shall indorse it with all
the vigor at our command.

JOHNSON IMPRESSED INTO SER
VICE.

VICE.
Notwithstanding the declaration
that he would not under any circum-
stances accept denomination as
governor, Governor Johnson of Min
nesota has been bound and gagged
by his party convention and the un-
willing crown has been pressed firm
" down upon his undesiring head.
Having had some experience with the
loaves and fishes and the flesh pots
in Minnesota, a party reeking with
patriotism and desire for the well
fare Of the masses is not prepared
to let a successful fisherman haul
his boat up on the shore and quit the
stream. johnson is serious mat
ter with the Democrats of Minnesota.
With him as a candidate, with the
prestige of his race for the 1resi-
dency-the term race is probably a
special courtesy, but still it was a
race-and with the knowledge OF
johnson that has been spread far and
wide through the northwest, the
Democrats feel that they have some
chance of landing the governorship
again, and as long as they have the
governor, the Democratic party In
Minnesota is a reality and not neb-
ulous haze. So johnson has been
forced to accept the place, willing or
unwilling, and there are few men
who would know how to escape the
result, even were they so disposed.
But johnson probably sees things
differently from some other members
of his party. He realizes that it Is
a presidential year, that the plea that
one good term deserves another can
not be urged in his behalf again and
that he is opposed by strong, virile
and popular candidate ON the Re-
publican ticket. Mr.. Johnson is de-
sirous of leaving politics at this time
without the handicap Of defeat.
should he reach out again after a
presidential nomination.

SIDE ISSUES IN ELECTORS.

SIDE ISSUES IN ELECTORS.
The Prohibitionists and the indie
pendence party advocates are finding
some trouble to get their nominees
on the ballot, SO far as presidential
electors are concerned. Both parties
have presidential candidates, but in
this state there is not the supplement
tary local machinery by which elect.
ors can be nominated. or have been
nominated at any rate. The princi-
pal interest Of these candidates. lies
in the probable number of votes that
will be polled, away from the Repub-
lican and Democratic tickets. Not
a great many, we believe, will be
polled in this state, for the reason
that the struggle is between the Re
publican and Democratic candidates,
and the average voter has enough
self-love in his makeup that he wants
to- be recorded as participating in the
choice, rather than laying his vote
co1dly down on the alter of a fixed
principle. But we see no reason why
some orderly method should not be
provided for the casting of ballots
by the Prohibitionists and the indie
pendents for their electors, If they
have a following sufficient to boast
a candidate for president. And yet
there must be some regulation Of the
matter of nominations, and an ad-
illustrative officer is bound to carry
out the law as it is written, irres-
pective OF his personals beliefs Or
iuclinations.
