creditor everything good and moth
ing bad that was done by it. Folk
forced certain measures through by
demanding it. Hughes secured leg
islation by calling public attention
to it and forcing by public sentiment
the legislature to pass it in the face
of opposition. Where is there one
act Of any. value that was forced
through by Gov. johnson? The mere
fact that he did not thwart legisla-
ton is a mighty poor argument for
giving him another term and yet
that is his claim made in his opening
speech.
2d:-He cody claims credit for all
Ed. Young has done. If he had any
thing to do with it neither he or Mr..
Young has ever made his acts pub
lie. And had Mr.. Young received
the nomination Mr.. Johnson would
have been fighting him as hard as he
now contests with Mr.. Jacobson.
About the only credit he can possibly
claim is that he has not opposed the
public acts of Mr.. Young. He did
not nominate or elect him; he would
have preferred an attorney general
more in sympathy with McDermott
and Day. To claim credit for the
work of Ed Young is as far fetched
as though Chief Justice Start would
claim reelection because he be-
lieved that Young was correct in his
position on matters before the su-
preme court.
The third point is rich. In every
town in the state the picture of Gov
ernor johnson will be found in most
of the saloons; the liquor interests
are for him to a man and a firm.
Day, McDermott and the rest of the
push are congenial to the booze"
men of the state. If anyone in Red
wood county believes that Jacobson
has any standing with the saloons
let him notice where the campaign
posters of Governor johnson are
hanging. The saloon interests voted
solidly for johnson against Dunn and
Cole and will do so against jacobson
this fall. Day has this vote absolute
ly at his call and no Republican has
any look in at any of it.
The alleged surrender of jacobson
to the railroad and other interests is
based upon the fact that Jacobson
was given a dinner at Duluth. John
son calls it "Belshazzar's feast"
The facts are that the business and
aboring men of the west end of
Duluth rendered supper which was
given under the direction of the la
lies of the Methodist Episcopal
No doubt Day regarded
this as an awful arrangement but
many of us here have eaten at Meth
odist dinners and suppers and had
never realized that it was a crime
Or outrage. As far as The Gazette
IS concerned, it is not able to see
Why the fact that the Methodists
furnished the supper presents any
good reason for voting against ia
,obson. We would have supposed
that the fact that the ladies gave
the supper was proof that at least
the supper was decent and respect
able, and if the Methodists of Du-
nth canIcook as they can in Redwood
Falls, that supper was good one.

Address Before YIN. c. A. by Mai.
n. A. Hall.

Maj H. A Hall took for the subject of
an address before a meeting Of young
people in Hamline Methodist Episcopal
Church last night Does Christianity
Hinder a Young Man in Business?' In
his opening remarks he said that religion
helps q young man in every legitimate
business. and that his own experience and
the experiences Of others bear out the as
sertion.
There are two things that a young
man must choose between in starting out
on his career" said the speaker. 'They
are evil on one side and good on the
other. Young man." he continued, you
must first form an alliance or friendship
with good II you would hope to succeed
In this world and enjoy eternal happiness
in the next
ago. there were no societies Hike the
Young Mems Christian Association or the
Epworth League to uplift young men and
aid them in starting their careers in the
proper way. These days you now live in
are better than the old days. notwth-
standing all that has been said to the
contrary.
Each President of the United States
has been God-fearing man. They have
all Stunned evil,' said the speaker Let
these men be your models in public life''
Maj. Hall then referred to John Wanna
maker OF Philadelphia and John D. Rookie
Teller Of New York as two Of the active
commercial men who use their wealth for
good purposes.
John D. Rockefeller" he said. "gives
away more money than the whole bunch
Of gamblers in this country, and he Is a
churchman also.
Most young men starting out in the
busy world" he concluded, "have but
scant capital, but they have preparation.
which. II linked with good habits, will
eventually lead them to opportunities that
they will improve and in the end realize
their fortunes. But remember a man can
not be great unless he is good.''

SERIES OF RIFLE MATCHES FOR
HIGH SCHOOL CADETS.

Arrangements are being made for a
series of rifle matches during the week
beginning April 20 for the boys in at
tendance at the Washington high schools.

schools would be the gymnasium Of the
Business High School, where it would
be possible to obtain a gallery 35 feet
wide and Is feet long. Preliminary prac-
tice could also be had in the corridor of
the Central High School. if fitted with

ton there will be an interhigh school
match for teams Of six from the five
schools. Each Of the high schools has

tanning how many boys have had ex-
perlence in rifle practice. The results
are highly gratifying and it was re-
ported that each Of the schools will Or
ganize a club and affiliate with the Ma
ter, Capt. Sheridan Ferree and others will
donate cups and prizes for the team
matches and a number Of medals will be
distributed by the National Rifle Associa-
ton. The War Department will furnish
