In making application for American
citizenship papers isn't Madame
Shumann-Heink, the celebrated con-
tralto, running great, risk of losing
her popularity? She is probably not
aware that in this country the Ameri-
can virtuoso-even though he or she
possesses greater talent than the
foreigners RELOCATED to second
place. This should not be so, but it
is, and the snobocracy is responsible
for the existence of such conditions.
Much rather would these snobs pay
ten dollars to hear that imported
monkey Caruso sing an Italian song
which they cannot understand than
fifty cents to listen to talented
American vocalist.

Chicago has organized an "anarchy
bureau" consisting of the police de-
partment, the federal immigration
officers and others for the purpose OF
Kidding the city of terrorists. The
deportation of alien reds under the
federal statutes is considered by the
bureau to be the most logical way OF
ousting them and will in all proba-
bility be put into practice. Every
city in the country should adopt
similar measures to those inaugurated
by Chicago, and there should be no
let up in the pursuit of the anarchists
until every one of them who is not a
citizen of this country has been
measured up by the Bertillon system
and deported to the country from
whence he came. Terrorists who, in
consequence of being American
citizens, cannot be deported, should
be kept under strict police surveillance
and no opportunity overlooked tc
cast them into jail whatsoever they
violate or are suspected of violating
the laws of the United States.

Horse Kicks Cutter to Pieces.
A Killing Frost.

Horse Kicks Cutter to Pieces.
On Monday afternoon at about 4::3O
Ernest Moeger's horse cut up series
OF fancy capers on Main street and as
result the cutter to which the animal
was attached received considerable
damage. Ernest had just entered the
cutter when the horse threw up it's
heels and commenced shattering
everything within reach. Without
any waste of time Mr.. Moeger jumped
from the vehicle and succeeded in
getting hold of the horse by the bride
and sticking to it. Tho horse, how
ever, dragged him around in a circle
seven or eight times and gave him
thorough shaking up. A circus
horse could scarcely have put up
more amusing performance. Mr..
Moeger escaped injury.

A sentence which perhaps has no
precedent was passed by a New York
magistrate upon two boys convicted
of stealing from a freight car. The
penalty imposed was that they pay a
fine of ten dollars each and attend
Sunday school for one year. There
is lots of good sound sense in this
sentence. The boys were young and
the magistrate, believing that the
Sunday school would. prove more
beneficial than the reformatory, passed
sentence accordingly.

The catastrophe at the Collinwood
school, where innocent children were
caught like rats in a trap. and either
burned or crushed to death, has
thrilled the country with horror.
And there is no question that human
negligence was responsible for this
dire disaster which enshrouded almost
every home at Collinwood in gloom.
Had the school house been properly
constructed the children would in all
probability have reached the street
in safety. But the structure was a
veritable death trap. It had but two
exits and the doors opened inward, so
That IN the case of a jam, as in this
instance, it was matter of impossi-
bility to open these doors. Then,
again, to make matters worse, one of
the doors was kept locked and the

built in 1901. Whosoever so neglected

sible for the death of these little chill
dren are virtually guilty of man.

WHAT HE DID SAY.

Several editors, professedlJ
friendly to the candidacy Of J. F. ia.
cobson for the republican guberna.
torial nomination, seem to labor
under the impression that Bob Dunn
was guilty of using Incorporate
language at the Roosevelt club har-
mony meeting in St. Paul several
weeks ago. For the benefit of those
timorous editors who get their infor-
nation second-handed we quote
Dunn's remarks with reference to Mr..
Jacobson in their entirety:
"No mans ambitions should stand in
the way of party success. I am not a
candidate for the republican nominal
ton for governor, and I will not be-
come candidate, at least not as long
as a gentleman whose name will pres
emily mention is in the field.
1.-The conditions which confront the
republican party of this state today
are similar to those that existed in
1900. Then the chief executive was a
democrat, and Minnesota never had
an ADLER governor than John Lind.
At that time I believed the only
chance of success for the republicans
was to nominate candidate by &C.
clamation and give him united sup
port at the polls. A candidate was
nominated by reclamation and re-
ceived the united support of the party
at the polls, and yet he only squeezed
through by the beggarly plurality OF
2,274 votes.
1.-THE present governor is demo.
GRAFT and fully as popular as John
Lind. Let the announced and would.
be candidates do as I have done
pocket their ambitions (they are
young yet) and give the candidate
will name before I sit down a clear
field and all of the combined corpor.
ate interests of the state together with
the cohorts of democracy cannot de.
feat him.
1.-The candidate I refer to is the man
who has made an imperishable record
for himself in our legislative halls,
whose untiring efforts as legislator
have been worth millions of dollars tc
the state: the man whose record in
public and private life is unassailable
the man who never sulks in victory
or defeat but is always found fighting
in the front ranks under his party
banner; the man who stands for a
square deal for every interest and
every individual; the man in whom
the plain common people believe; the
man whose name is household word
throughout the length and breadth Of
Minnesota; the man who will not
shrink from contest with any oppon.
ent who may be pitted against him
the man who ought to have been
nominated two years ago; the man
who if nominated will sweep the state
by $4,000 majority; the man who will
do his duty though the heavens should
fall-rugged, manly, loyal J. F.
Jacobson of Lac qui Parle county,"
We fail to discover anything untrue
or Incorporate in the above quoted
remarks. Anyhow, Bob Dunn has no
excuse or apology to offer for what be
said.

DEAR OLD IRELAND,

BY TIMoTHY DANIEL SULLIVAN
Deep in Canadian woods we've met.
From one bright island flown;
Great is the land we tread but yet
Our hearts are with our own.
And ere we leave this shanty small,
While fades the autumn day
Well toast old Ireland!
Dear old Ireland.
Ireland boys, hurrah!
We've heard her faults a hundred times.
The new ones and the old,
In songs and sermons, rams and rhymes
Enlarged some fifty-fold.
But take them all, the great and small.
And this we've got to say:
Here's dear old Ireland.
Good old Ireland
Ireland, boys, hurrah.
We know that brave and good men tried
TO snap her rusty chain
That patriots suffered, martyrs died
And all, It's sad, in vain.
But no, boys, no. glance will show
How far they've won their way
Here's good old Ireland.
Brave old Ireland!
Ireland, boys, hurrah
We've seen the wedding and the wake,
The patron and the fair,
And 1.-the young frames at the dear old games
In the kindly Irish air;
And the loud 'hurroo' we have heard it too
And the laundering clear the wayl''
Here's gay old Ireland!
Dear old Ireland!
Ireland, boys. hurrah!
And we'll we know in the cool gray ewes.
When the hard days work is DER,
How soft and sweet are the words that greet
81, The friends who meet once more.
J.. With MARY machree!" MY Pat! it's he!'
And my own heart night and day.
All! fond old Ireland!
H., Dear old Ireland -
Ireland, boys hurrah!
And happy and bright are the groups that pass
From their peac eful homes, for miles
Ger fields and roads and hills, to mass,
When Sunday morning smiles:
And deep the zeal their true hearts feel
When low they kneel and pray.
Oh, dear old Ireland!
Blest old Ireland! y--
Ireland, boys, hurrah!
But deep in Canadian woods we've met,
And we never may see again
The dear old isle where our hearts are set
And our first fond hopes remain
But come fill up another cup,
And with every sup We'll say,
Here's dear old Ireland!
Loved old Ireland!
Ireland. boys, hurrah! s.
