Taft Jacobson Clubs Organized
Over North Star State.
ONE DEBATE Is CALLED OFF

ST. Paul, Sept. l5.-"There is plenty
of jacobson money up this way >
writes Fred d. Sherman of Grey Eagle
in Todd county. The letter runs as
follows:
"We organized Taft jacobson club
in Bertram, Todd county, last night
with seventy members and many more
in sight Congressman Lindberg spoke
and the hall was packed to the
doors, Voters from all parts of the
county were there and reports now in
dicate that Todd county this fall
will swing back into line and roll
up an oldtime republican majority,
which is normally 800. Clubs will be
organized all over the county. Long
Prairie and Grey Eagle will organize
clubs Immediately after the primaries.
Work of securing signers for the
Grey Eagle club is now being pushed
and over q hundred members will be
enrolled by next week"
Many Heard Jacobson.
J. +. jacobson republican candidate
for governor, spoke last Saturday at
Sank Rapids and that city had the
largest attendance of a public speech
ever recorded. He will spend the
greater part of this week filling dates
at different part of the state, speak
ing tomorrow at Zumbrota and follow
ing with other speeches i'll that neigh
borhOod. Mr.. jacobson is satisfied
that he will secure the votes of the
precincts that he has visited and is
not worried over the outcome in the
counties.
The headquarters yesterday received
an addition to their speaking staff in
the person of Captain Samuel p. Sni
der of Minneapolis, candidate for the
republican nomination for governor at
the last state convention.
Debate Is Called Off.

the democratic party would have a
at Beardsley, Mimi,
next Thursday. Originally arrange
ments were made with Senator Far
lington, who told Beardsley citizens
that he would meet any republican
orator that could be sent out.
Frank Eddy said he was anxious to
make the sacrifice and FASTENED to
clinch the date. However, it appears
that Harrington got tip from state
headquarters and called the date off
pending the assent of Chairman Frank
Day of the democratic state central,
committee. Mr.. Day as yet has not
made any statement one. way or the
other and the matter of filling the
late, though the time is only three

ey nevertheless.

o'clock all the republican candidates

and he was asked 70 suggest name

Recently the law became aware Of
the fact that there were hundreds OF
small music publishing companies do,

Their method was to advertise for

profits made from popular songs. As
the song manuscripts flowed in they
either had music written for them or
borrowed" music already written and
cent a letter Of acceptance to the per
son who had sent In the song poem
The letter stated that preliminary
cost of from $40 to $50 would be nee.
essary for making the plates. In most
instances the money was sent. The
plates were made cheaply, the publish
ing house sent professional copy to
the author, and there the matter drop
ped. No effort at marketing the produe-
ton was made. The law is gradual
getting after these publishers, but

ANTI-BRYAN FABRICATION.

The latest fabrication Of the Pulitzer
factory at the editorial desk OF the
New York World in its campaign
against Bryan, has gone the way
of the Worlds political map. Its
map showing that Bryan had brought
electoral disaster upon the democratic
party, was false upon its face. TWAS
so wretchedly false that it could de-
ceiye no one who had access to a
World almanac or remembered any
thing about election returns. The
story of Ryan's having bribed Bryan
to support Parker after Bryan had
been supporting him for two months,
was equally thin, although somewhat
better disguised. But the disguise
has been torn off, and the World is
now convicted by direct testimony.
Mr.. Pulitzer's secret financial invest
ments must be queer sort, since he
authorizes such foolish fabrications
in the hope of heading eff Bryan from
appointing an attorney general.

BUENOS AIRES.
An Orderly City In Which Affairs Are
Well Conducted,

Things are done well in the City of
Good Airs. There are good things to
eat, comfortable rooms to live in.
places where man can get his exer-
else and outdoor sport. After the trop-
les the gringo feels like man who
has been hopping from foothold to
foothold in a swamp and steps at last
on solid ground. The creature comforts
Of capable, wide awake. we'll ar
ranged city soothingly envelop him.
The cochero knows where he wants to
60, the waiter knows what he wants
to eat. The mounted policeman. In
breastplate and horsetail helmet, rides
him back with the rest of the crowd
and does it so quietly and with
such sophisticated nonchalance that he
promptly conceives a passionate adj
miration for that policeman and his
beautiful horse, falls into the COM
munistic pride common to all city
jewellers and is ready to declare that
there is no other policeman SO fine in
the world. The streets are clean and
well kept, and the buildings which line
them, however gingerbready their archi-
lecture are held within decorous max
imum ana minimum limits Of height.
Everything is near at hand. The ho-
tel, club, bank. drive, the restaurants
and theaters are all within. SO to say,
feeling distance. And this physical
compactness and neatness, this con-
tinental glitter and activity, set here
oasis-like, combine to give the whole
certain diminutiveness and coy init
macy. There's little old Buenos

CONTROL OF CORPORATIONS.

There is hardly avoterin the United
States, other than republican politi-
clans, who does not want to see the
trusts and railroads so controlled that
the price of the products of the trusts
and the charges of the railroads shall
be reasonable.
Yet the republican administration
and the republican controlled congress
have done absolutely nothing that will
decrease the cost of living. There
has been a bluff at trust busting and a
railroad or two has been prosecuted
for rebating, but can you name a rail-
road or trust that has reduced its
prices in consequence of republican
legislation? This is the tariff and
trust and railroad issue Of the coming
campaign. Promises for the future
and the glad hand to the voters will
not compensate for lack Of perform
ance in the past.

MATED.

The problem as to whether a clever
man needs a clever wife rests upon
broad lines, and is, after all, very easy
of solution, says Katherine Cecil
Thurston, in the July Delineator.
Without doubt clever man should
have clever wife, if the goal to be
desired is a successful marriage; but
"clever" must not be taken as syno-
nymous with the words "work-pro-
ducing'' or ambitious" The quality
necessary to the wife of clever man
is the essentially feminine cleverness
of tact and intuition-the subtle
woman's gift that can stimulate with
outirritating, can comprehend without
questioning, and under all circum-
stanc can-or appears to-subordi-
nate ner own interests, her own per-
sol atty, to the more vivid, dominat-
in g masculine qualities of her husband.
