NOT rlUCH DIFFERENCE.

Golfers: We shall not lie awake fretting
about the outcome of this campaign. In the
long run we fancy it will matter little who is
elected Mr.. Bryan has put forth too many
cure-alls for our taste-toO mnch Political
Peruna, as it were-but if elected he will be a
president not a Legislature, and the country will
know that no very fierce measures can pass a
senate that will surely be republican. AS pres
ident he will be honest and high minded, and
will fight the corrupt machines in every state.
A man who, as candidate, fought Guffey in
PENNSYLVANIA, and made almost his own terms
with Sullivan in Illinois, may be trusted to
make trouble for Murphy and many of his tribe
in other states if he is safely entrenched
at WASHINGTON We are inclined to believe
that Mr. Taft will be elected, and few candidates
of any party have more clearly proved ahead
their fitness for the office. From a point OF
view non-partizan like own, he seems to
have a stronger case than his opponent, for he
has the liberalism of Roosevelt; the caution OF
education, intellect, and experience; human
ity we'll shown in the Philippines; an admins
courts, combined with Willingness to make
reforms At the same time, while Taft seems
to us the stronger man. wefexpect no great 1n1
crease of industrial depression if Bryan IS
elected, and no especially harmful acts from
him as president. The country has reason to
90 about it's business and not worry about
either candidate

mr.. SHERMAN'S CANDIDACY

In nominating James Schoolcraft Sherman,
Representative in Congress from the Twenty
seventh New York District, as the Republican
candidate for President, the Chicago con-
vention was Influenced largely by the opinions
of Mr.. Shernan's Republican colleagues in
Congress. They were convinced that other
man talked of for the second place on the ticket
possessed in greater measure the qualifications
of ability, training, and experience, both for the
work of the campaign and for the duties of
the Vice-Presdential Office. They first sug-
gested Mr.. Shermans candidacy, and they con-
sistently and cordially advocated his nomina-
ton through the ante convention discussion
of candidates. 1t was their sustained and Wig
orous support in the convention, backed by
consideration of the strength Mr.. Sherman
would give to the ticket especially in New
York, that finally brought about his nomina-
ton on the first ballot, by almost unanimous
vote.
This influence in Mr.. Sherman's behalf was
personifed when Speaker Cannon unex pectedy
appeared in the convention hail. took the plat
form, and told the delegates, with his charact
eristic force and directness, why Mr. Sherman
with whom he had worked nearly twenty years
in Congress, would make good candidate and
good Vce-President,- an incident unique in
the history of national conventions.
The reason for all this confidence and good
will on the part of those who have been close
to Mr. Sherman in public affairs is found in the
man himself and in his career as a legislator.
In him joined personality that rarely fails
service, whose value, while recognized gen
orally, is best understood by the men who
earnestly and effectively advocated his
ination at Chicago.-From James S. Sher-
man, Republican Candidate for Vice-Presi-
dent" by William E. Weed. in the American
Review of Reviews for August.

State Treasurer Dinehart issued a report at
the close of fifty fiscal years of the state last
week which is eloquent of the growth of the
state. Half century ago Minnesota raised for
all purposes and taxation, $554OOO Last year
the taxes of the state amounted to $12OOOOOO.
Assessed valuation has grown from $41 100000
to little over one billion.

Walter Wel1man, in speaking of the bett-
ing odds being 10 to against Bryan in Wall
street, gives interesting account the self
centered lack of knowledge of that minute por-
ton of these United States. "The betting odds
illustrate" says w Gilman, "the utter, the well
nigh inexplicable inability of the average New
true values in the national game of politics.
Every other sort of game he understands and
plays pretty good game at, but in national
politics he is child, foreigner, outsider,
a tenderfoot, chump rube, jay, soft one,
an easy mark, a lobster He gets his general
ideas from the New York papers and the people
he talks with are his own kind, the men who
believe just the way he does. Every Wall street
man tells every other Wall street man, Bryan
has no show" and that convinces them all,
that settles it, For them down town" is the
country. All the information and wisdom in
the world center there. How can they all be
mistaken? Such an idea never enters their
heads
These Wall street odds makers know no.
thing whatever about the rest of the country.
The West to them is sort of terra incognita
which they indicate, if they deign to consider
it at all, with vague sweep of the hand in the
nothing about some of the peculiar things go
ing on in the minds of the people in that
gion, "out west"
"They take no account of the labor vote.
They know nothing whatever of the possible
political effect of the dull times and sCant
ployment, of the church and religious discus
sion, which in it's quiet way is sure to be fact
or in the campaign.
They do not even know their own city and
state. They have no conception of what the
people are thinking over on the east and west
sides of town. They have not discovered that
among all the millions who work for wages
there is a tendency to hit the party in power at
at Washington and make experiment with
a new broom at Washington"
Bryan may not and probably will not be
elected, but his western friends who think his
chances are about 3 to 1, have chance for ar
ranging an interesting mathematical equation
with the 10 to New Workers.

This is what the Fairmont Sentinel, Frank
Days newspaper, said of J. F. Jacobson two
years ago.
Jacob F. Jacobson, the Lac qui Parle COM
moner, was the almost unanimous choice of
the rank and file of the republican voters. In a
direct primary he would have received easily
three-fourths of the republican votes. The
people have confidence in Jake. He is honest
and unpurchasable. He was never controlled
for minute in his life by the interest," and he
refused to bend the pregnant knee that thrift
may follow fawning.' Because of his high
political ideals, Mr.. Jacobson was not wanted
as a candidate by the designing politicians and
corporations looking for immunity for past
offenses and opportunity for future aggrandize
ment"

Cage For a Queen Bee.

When a queen bee becomes unpro-
ductive through old age. it is necessary
for the bee keeper to supply the colony
of bees with new queen. This he
does in the following manner: The old
queen is removed from the hive and
the bees are left alone for about twelve
hours or longer, during which time
they find out that they are queenless.
The new queen is then put into cage
made of wood and wire cloth. with an
opening through one end. This open
ing is filed tight with a mixture of
honey and sugar. The cage thus pre-
pared is laid upon the tops of tn
frames in the hive. The bees soon dis
cover the new queen In the cage and
set to work upon the honey and sugar.
In the hive bees recognize friends and
strangers by their sense of smell, and
a strange queen entering hive would
be very quickly killed by the bees. By
the time the queen is liberated from
the cage she has acquired the scent of
the hive and is therefore no longer a
characterization Globe

EXPLODING a Mins In Granite.

One of the methods of quarrying
granite is to dislodge a huge sheet
from the surface, of the formation
through the medium of a powder mine.
A large perpendicular shaft is first
blasted to depth Of about thirty
feet At the bottom of this and radiat-
ing in all directions horizontally, like
the spokes of Il huge wheel, long holes
are drilled The extremities of these
holes are then shot with light charges
of dynamite in order to create cham
bers large enough to receive large
quantities of black powder. This takes
weeks of ever increasing charges.
Then the final charge is loaded. The
now huge chambers at the extremities
of the spokes are packed with hum
dreds of pounds of powder. numerous
electric wires attached and the whole
mine tamped with fine material. A
mighty roar and rumble in the bowels
of the earth and the huge sheet is de-
tached from the ledge.-Popular Me

AMONG the bills that failed to become

AMONG the bills that failed to become
laws was that known as the public utilities
bill. Those persons who had special ideas
they wanted inserted will attempt to lay
the failure of this bill to the Republican
machine" but the general impression ap-
pears to be that Mr.. Martin, Republican
leader of the House, must bear the chief
responsibility for the defeat of the meas
ure. The New York Herald correspond
ent at Trenton, sums up the matter as
follows: The situation confronting him
(Mr. Martini was that he and every MEM
Der of the House knew that it was the
Robbins bill or nothing, and that however
far this bill came from being an ideal
measure, it was long step in advance of
present conditions. and would have been
80 regarded by the people of the state 1t
would have established the principle of
State supervision and regulation of public
utility corporations, and fixed the basis
for future amendments, as time and ex-
perience might show their necessity. Mr.
Martin and those who followed his lead
stood out for an impossible measure and
thus defeated the possible Robbins bill.
There are those who do not hesitate to say
that Mr.. Martin was not over anxious to
have this question removed from our
politics. They hint that he wanted tn
opportunity in this years political cam
paign in Essex county to again pose as

A Famous Regiment.

It Is doubtful if any other one regi-
ment furnished an equal number of
distinguished officers during the civil
war as did the Second United States
cavalry. Among the officers were AL
bert Sidney Johnston, colonel; Robert
E. Lee, lieutenant colonel; William ].
Hardee, brevet lieutenant colonel;
George 81. Thomas. major. Robert E.
Lee and A. S. Johnston became gen
erals in the Confederate army, and
Hardee became lieutenant general.
Thomas became a distinguished gen.
eral In the Federal army. Among the
captains were Earl Van Dorm, e. Kir-
by Smith and N G. Evans, all of whom
became generals in the Confederate
army. l. N. Palmer, George Stoneman
and R. W. Johnson held the same po-
sitions in the Union army. Among the
subalterns John B. Hood, Charles W.
Field. ChambliSs and Phifer became
southern generals, and R. Garrard and
others attained the same place in the
northern army. Captain Evans left
the United States service before Col
onel Robert E. Lee did, and when they
parted at Fort Mason, Tex, Colonel
Lee said: I'm sorry to give you up,
Evans. Don't know what may happen
before we meet again. Perhaps they'll
make you general"
