New York's chief of police has de.
vised novel plan for ascertaining
whom among his patrolmen slide into
saloons and assuage their thirst while
on duty. To effectuate this he has
enlisted the services of the public
school children-made detectives OF
them-and requested that they report
to him whenever they see an officer
entering or leaving saloon. This is
doubtless a good scheme to prevent
the patrolmen from drinking while on
duty but it cannot do other than have
a bad effect upon the children by
encouraging them to spy, tattle and in
all probability tell lies.

a PLEA FOR HARMONY.

The veteran editor of the Belview
Independent makes an earnest plea
for harmony in the republican ranks.
He argues that any of the gentlemen
mentioned in connection with the gu
bernatorial nomination on the repub.
lican side would make good executive
timber, and the only question to be
considered is availability. The Inde-
pendent is ready and willing to stand
by the nominee of the republican
state convention, and it's reasoning is
sound, as witness the following:
"This paper can support any of the
gentlemen feeling that the states inter-
est will not materially suffer, but it has
it's choice as to which one will best
represent it's side as to serving the
people, but we do not insist that if
some other is chosen that everything
will 60 wrong. The point we make is
this, that simply because each of US
cannot have our own particular choice
in the matter is no good excuse for
our voting for man who stands for
principles of party which we wholly
condemn and it seems the acme of folly
to US for a man to advocate such a
course. John A. Johnson was not
elected governor over Bob Dunn or
MIR. Cole because he was their superior
in any sense of the word but simply
to crafty a spite. There was no logic
in the action nor was there any prin-
ciple exploited in SO doing other than
that of rule or ruin.'

jacobson introduced such measures

turned to that side possibly because it

From the Superior Telegram, May ss.

ABOUT POLITICAL MISFITS.
Inc announcement recently made by
Gov. johnson of Minnesota that he
would not again be a candidate for
governor of Minnesota under any cir
cumstances is causing general inter-
est and comment throughout that
state. Evidently Gov. Johnson rates
himself as having outgrown so small
an Office as governor of a state.
Bryan does not deem it necessary to
his political prestige to be governor
OF Nebraska, and beyond all question
Gov. johnson rates himself as a.
greater man than Bryan.
Minnesota has had two democratic
governors within the last ten years
John Lind for one term, beginning in
1899, and the present governor, John
"A. johnson. Gov. Lind is, in our
opinion, much the greater man intel
lectua]ly of the two. Gov. Lind knew
that in addition to the rivalries in the
republican camp, which brought some
support to him, he had in the state a.
strong personal following of Scandi-
navian friends who we're republicans
politically, but who naturally and
properly took some pride in the politi-
Cal honors achieved by their very able
and honest fellow countryman.
But John Lind understood this
thoroughly and he would not have en-
tertained for a moment proposition
for him to undertake to deliver the
whole body of his republican Scandi-
navian friends to the democratic party
at a presidential election. He knew
that the Scandinavian republicans
had long supported and still sup
ported the republican national policies
because they believed in those policies,
although not so strictly republican in
state issues and in view of the po-
litical conditions within the state.
If. he had thought he could lead
them by means of his personal in
Huence to vote at presidential elec-
tion for principles that they did not
believe in, he would not only have
shown poor judgment and low grade
OF political honesty, but he would
have also shown that he had a very
low opinion of their political intelli-
gence and loyalty to the political
principles which they believed in.
Indeed he would have shown that he
did not believe that they had any po-
litical principles based upon an INTEL
ligent foundation.
But John Lind did not attempt any
thing of that kind. He was formerly
a republican and left the party on GER
tain issues wherein he thought the
democratic party was nearer right.
1t was entirely fair from every point
of view for him to try to convince
others that the democratic party was
right. But an attempt to deliver a
large body of republican voters to the

democratic camp without convincing
those voters of anything would have,
been an entirely different matter.
And that is just what Gov. Johnson
is trying to do. He offers his friends
only an opportunity to follow his
sublime personality" into the demo-
cratic camp. It could not have es-
capped his notice that the state at the
last presidential election gave Presi-
dent Roosevelt the most overwhelming
majority that any candidate for the
presidency ever received in that state
almost four to one. He knows that
the state is overwhelmingly republi-
can. Yet he is presented by Frank
Day as the second Lincoln. Mr.. Dav
seems TO overlook the fact that Lin
coin made his political fight on a
great issue of intense national imnor.
lance. He asked nobody to vote for
him who did not believe in the prin-
ciples which he contended for. Gov.
Johnson as presidential candidate
does not claim or expect that he can
carry the state as a presidential can
didate on any democratic issue what
ever. 1t appears to be a matter of
"sublime personality" alone, in which
he hopes that the issues might be for
gotten. But the "sublime personal ity'
alone as political proposition is
preposterous, highly ridiculous and
entirely outside of reason and CON-
mon sense.
1t will doubtless occur to the minds
OF the republicans of Minnesota who
have been voting for Johnosn for
governor that his proposition to herd
them up and get them to run after his
sublime personality" into the demo-
cratic camp places them in a position
OF which they surely cannot be proud.
They can easily see the estimate which
ne places upon their intelligence.
They cannot help seeing that the SUBJ
Unity feature of this move has been
badly overworked.
1t must be admitted, however, that
while the republicans of Minnesota
have been growing stronger in
national politics, their party with
reference to state politics is in a some
what discoiraging situation. It has
at this time an opportunity to redeem
itself and regain all that it has lost.
In our opinion, from a very thorough
knowledge of Minnesota politics ex-
tending from territorial days down to
the present time-a period of fifty
years-the republicans of Minnesota
should now nominate for governor
Hon. j. F. Jacobson, a man who could
rally to his support most of the re-
publicans who supported johnson two
years ago. Mr.. Jacobson was for
several sessions the republican leader
in the Minnesota house of representa-
tives and his ability as leader and
as a supporter of the people against
the encroachments of special interests
is recognized by everybody.
Very likely Gov. johnson will be
again nominated, Notwithstanding his
recent declaration. He has a strong
state machine allied closely with state
patronage, and these people are not
going to surrender their jobs without
fight. They will make johnson run
again-and unless the republicans are
afflicted with paresis they will nomi-
nate Jacobson and put an end to the
fantastic political foolishness which
has prevailed in that state in recent
years.
