Washington, May 2.-Six republican
state conventions some Of which win
likely assume considerable Importance

that the convention may endorse the

party leaders favor uninstructed dele

representatives in the upper house Of
congress are opposed to Taft, and will
probably use their influence to pre-

Wonderful Story as Told by the Yer

Curious things happen on the Maine
lakes. It isn't the prohibition law

not a bit Of it! It's the piny air
which undoubtedly is stimulating to
the imaginative perceptions. A guide
told me this story by the smudge
fire at the door Of a log camp this
spring:
"There was a gang Of Canucks at
Goose Lake, where we had our
sports camping m they had some
sort Of a trawl rugged up on the lake,
with the shore end made fast to

about no laws II was certin sure

Dickson retired to bookcase, where
he pretended to be interested in the
titles on the leather and cloth backs.
All Kitty's admirers wondered why
she did 1t. The more hours day she
gave UP to her practice the worse she
played. When a girl was as pretty

tertained just by looking at her or lis
tening to her talk. There was really
no reason for her going in so des-
perately for music.

Even Kitty's family, in the privacy
OF their own councils, said with awe
that Colgrove certainly must be very
much in love with Kitty to endure the

Colgrove said her talent was won

would cough and say; Wont you

Sleepy Eye Dispatch: Between
the radical temperance reformers
and the distillery and brewing inter-
ests opposed to prohibition, there
are a vast number of people who
could get along very well either with
or without saloons. They would
prefer an orderly saloon run within
the limits of a license law to a dis
orderly blind pig run outside of a
prohibition law, but they are per-
fectly willing to allow the people
uninhuenced by interested parties to
decide the question. This middle
class, however, which holds the bal
ance of power. is being driven to the
side of prohibition by the methods
used in the liquor interests in vain
effort to check the temperance wave.
The attempts to demonstrate that
temperance legislation is poor bust
ness policy, or that it is an infringe
ment on personal liberty are toe
weak to be considered for a minute,
Prohibition is bound to come, and
the more the question is agitated by
those opposed to it. the sooner il
will be adopted.

The opinion prevails at st. Paul
that Governor John A. will probably
be the Democratic candidate for his
successor, and that with his candi-
dacy assured the only thing the So
called Interests" will ask of the
Republican party is the nomination
of candidate who can only expect
divided party allegiance. Unless
the supporters of Bryan for the
presidency are all wrong, Johnson
has nothing to fear from the inter-
ests. Which affords pretty good
argument for insisting on change
in the state administration and a
new deal as we'll as square one.

Another illustration of President
Roosevelt's loyalty to men whom he
has tested is presen ted in the APP
pointment of Milton D. Purdy to the
vacant judgship created by the res
ignation Of Judge Lochren. Senator
Nelson was equally loyal to the can
didate Of his choice. and did not
prove a cheerful loser when the
president insisted on appointing the
younger man. who had made good
in the national department of jus
tice and whom the president ap-
pointed.

From Washington comes the re
port that President Roosevelt will
spend the first year after his retire
ment from office in travel outside
the United States. While his timer
airy has not been determined, accord
ing to report his plan is to see some
of the little frequented portions OF
foreign lands, and, Of course, the
prediction is made that the president
will indulge his fondness for hunting
big game. The president is quoted
as saying in this connection: IF
William Taft is nominated and elect
ed president, which would be graft
flying, it woul make impossible any
criticism if | were abroad, to the eff
feet that | Was debating to him and
that he was being followed, or that
| had tried to dictate and had been
turned down in my suggestions. "

The tramp has arrived along with
the balmy sunshine and spring
poetry, and has raised the old ques-
ton, what are we going to do about
it? When we read that the Pennsyl-
vania railroad company alone last
year lost nearly half a million dollars
by tramp thieves, we realize that
the increase of the tramp army will
soon develop into a big tax on So
ciety everywhere, if allowed to go
unchecked.

The Minneota Mascot is of the
opinion that talk about Jacobson's

While many readers of the The
Gazette will dissent from some of
the conclusions of Mr.. Arnold, most
II them will admit that any honest
discussion of the proposed constitu-
tional amendments at this time
ought to be helpful. The submis-
sion of these amendments is in the
nature of referendum and every
voter should exercise his privilege
to vote upon them and vote intelli-
gently. Mr.. Arnold's views are
conservative-we think a little too
conservative as to some of the
amendments-but they are candid
and clearly expressed. Conditions
are constantly changing and some
day our constitution will need a
thorough overhauling to conform to
present day conditions. Meanwhile
the careful citizen and voter will
want to be shown the possibilities
liable to follow the passage of any
of these amendments. The Gazette
will welcome discussion of them
at any time.

Mark Twain says that the main
tanning of a fourteen foot channel
in the Mississippi river is one of the
things that may be set down as I'M

when he planned the Mississippi
river, and man, as a general thing,
has found it pretty hard to improve
upon the works of the Almighty.
