cupy the boards OF the Columbia Theater

quaintance when she was here in the

her, as she viii be interpreted by Julia
Dean, is q foregone conclusion, not alone
because OF the intense interest that has
been developed in the leading lady OF the
Columbia Players, but because the pres

lieves that Cousin Kate" is one OF the

New York Times: That seems to

the republicans take them for their
own He once said that, although the
people had not burdened him with the
cares Of office, his life was not without
its anxletles. He could not leave his
principles out over night without
losing some OF them, and the missing
ones ne generally found at the White
House. SO, in succession, have gone

the federal licenses for corporations, Of
reduction of import duties. of postal

comes has been snatched from
him by a republican president and
ia republican congress. and goes.
over half of it, to the people for
their sanction, the other to the statute
book.
Not one OF these is of republican
origination. Not one is rooted IN old
fashloned republican belief. They are
all alien to the policies and the pro-
LESSONS OF the republican party from
Lincoln to Mckinley. Had they not
been exploited and made widely
popular by Mr.. Bryan not one of
them would have been appropriated
by the republicans.
Mr.. Bryan has few more left. Like

GIVE TIL r. ERA N THE
BEST.

Minneapolis Journal e. /. Nc.
Donald, editor Of the st. Cloud Times
and trustee Of the Soldiers home,
has returned recently from visit ia
the home and makes vigorous protest
through his paper Of the denial Of an
appropriation for an addition to the
old peoples building by the last
legislature He accuses the legislature
OF indifference to the needs Of the
veterans.
What member of ne board OF
trustees says on the subject will no
doubt have weight with the public.
The Soldiers home should be kept IN
to high standard. The veterans are
deserving of the best accommodations
a great state can furnish them. The
state ought to maintain buildings
commensurate with the beauty Of the
site occupied by the home.
In particular, the old soldiers ought
to have opportunities to enjoy fully
the brief but beautiful summer
weather of Minnesota. To this end
the buildings ought to be provided
with broad porches on which they can
, enjoy the benefits OF the open air in
sunshine or rain. These would add
greatly to the life of the inmates and
would, in addition, make the build
lngs take on a more homellke look.
The buildings now occupied are built
, On stutty and scant lines.

Let the FIan Alone.

Tho proposal to recasts the pattern Of
the United States flag is a good one to
send to limbo The scheme as now
laid before congress is to rearrange
che stars in the union into pattern
resembling perhaps a winged gyras.
cutus more than anything else on the
earth, the heavens above or the wa
tiers beneath, says the New York
Tribune. Here is the prescription:
The stars shall be arranged uniform
in distance from one another, in five
arcs in combination, the centers of the
arcs to be the apices of regular pen
tagon. The radius of the arcs shall be
equal to one side Of the pentagon, and
the radius OF the stars shall be equal
to one-fourth the distance from center
to center. Isn't that lovely? Like
wise, isn't 1t clearer than mud? Every
body, from that lucid word-painting,
can see exactly how it would look, and
every schoolboy can instantly draw
it upon his slate. It really is wonder
that we have been able to worry along
for so many years without such a COM
btnation. Why, there isn't problem in
Euclid that can touch it for simplicity.

Canada has caught the idea of utiliz-
ing the yak, which is native of cen.
trail Asia, and serves many useful pur-
poses, being great producer of milk,
with hesh furnishing most appetizing
food and long-haired coat from which
excellent rugs and other articles are
made. The milk is exceedingly rich
and produces superior grade of but
ter, and there are various other uses
that can be served by the animal.
Among other things it is a highly
tractable beast of burden. Alaska has
proposed to introduce the yak, and
now Canada is to import herd and
test the merits of the creatures. There
appears to be no reason why the ex.
pertinent should not be a big success.
The reindeer brought into Alaska have
proved a most valuable adjunct to life
in that northern region. ~

Princeton Union: Women who are
anxious to secure the right of
franchise would perhaps profit by
reading the following excerpt from an
address by Cardinal Gibbons to the
girl graduates of st. Joseph's college,
Emmetsburge, Md. !:
Il am entirely opposed to woman
suffrage, not because hate the
women, but love them and want them
to fulfill the mission God intended.
If you play in the arena Of politics
you will be covered with its dust.
Nowhere is woman 80 honored as IN
the United States. This is largely
due to the chivalry and courtesy Of
the men, and If you are protected by
the male sox what more do you WANT
I want to remind you that woman has
. q great mission In life. You should,
therefore. have 8 deep sense 81
your responsibility in the domestic
walks Of life. .

When the st. Gotthard tunnel was
opened it was predicted that even the
birds would soon begin to use it as a
more convenient way to reach Italy.
The diligence service was, in fact, dis.
continued 27~years ago, and for a
year or two everybody was singing a
doleful dftty about the last stage
drivers last trip. Before the railroad
pushed its way through tho mountain,
no fewer than $4,000 persons annually
crossed the Gotthard pass. Then
came practical desolation. But gradu.
ally the tourist traffic revived again,
and to-day the number of those who
cross the pass is as great as ever.
Two years ago automobiles were al.
lowed to join the procession of car
riages and pedestrians, and now the
Swiss postal department announces
that the diligence service is to be re-
sumed the coming summer.

Congressman Lindbergh's views on
the tariff and the income tax ap-
proach the views held by the majority
of democrats IN the Sixth district
more nearly than they do the doctrines
advocated by the majority OF the party
he nominally represents. Lindbergh
IS to a great extent a free lance. He
has denied allegiance to the republican
organization in the House OF
Representatives, and technically is no
more entitled to support of republicans
in this district than regular demo-
crat would be. But If he represents,
as is claimed, the wishes and desires
OF the bulk of republicans in the dis
trict, he will be nominated again, no
matter If he failed to attend his party
caucuses at Washington, or be bound
by their actions. Mr.. Lindbergh's
declaration of independence of
partisan considerations is refreshing,
but 1t remains to be seen whetherSixth
district republicans will endorse it.

Samuel Untermyer, noted New
York lawyer, says: Whenever the
government really wants to ring the
criminal rich who are managing these
conspiracies that are VIGOROUSLY
violating the criminal law within the
penalties of that law, it will not be
difficult. There never has been an
honest, intelligent effort to enforce
the ample provisions of the law
against any OF the monster monopol1es
Somehow or other, it looks as If the
power of these men is too much for
the government And there appears
to be no grounds upon which to base
denial which will hold good. Every
intelligent and reading citizen sees
and knows it to be true.

The st. Cloud Times with righteous
Indignation speaks of the neglect OF
the state to make proper appropriations
for the Soldiers Home. No cause can
be more deserving than that of the
Union veteran, and mis- declining days
should be softened in all possible ways.
1t will not be long before the soldiers
of the Civil war will be few in
number. Death is fast thinning their
ranks. The great majority are already
camped on the other side of the Dark
River. A new generation is growing
up to whom the great rebellion is but
a matter of history, a generation likely
to judge the cause for which the old
soldier dared so much, by the way in
which their elders treat him.

The Falrmont Sentinel's pointed re-
marks on the supreme court are
said by tie st. Cloud Times to be
incorporate and unwlse. The supreme
court is not above criticism, and the
people have right to question the
wisdom of it's decisions. There IS too
much of u tendency to exalt the
power of the judiciary, to make them
constructors as well as interpreters of
the law. The Judges, IN donnlng the
ermine, do not lose their human
attributes or become infalllble. The
criticism should be tar, and strong
when the circumstances demand. But
the judges should not be exempted
from criticism any more than the
governor or legislature

ing with abductors in New Mexico.
Two men who kidnapped two young
girls were overtaken by posse Of pur-
suers and at once shot to death. This
1s rather drastic, even in pioneer re-
gton. The law should be allowed to
take its course in any event. But the

Seattle set good example in it's
planning of the Alaska Yukon Pacific
exposition, which is to be held during
the coming summer. Instead of tear
ing down the buildings after the big
show Is over, and undoing the costly
Typographical work, 100000 worth of
buildings will be turned over to the
University of Washington, together
with the water, lighting and sewerage
systems, which will be useful in fu-
ture development of the states educa-
5tlona1 institution. It may therefore be
truthfully claimed that the Alaska-Yu-
kon-Pacific exposition is educational in
IA double sense.

According to q Washington dispatch
In the Tribune there IS a movement
ON foot in Washington to restore the
use OF the term Executive Mansion
instead Of White House, which@has
been the custom during the Roosevelt
administration" and many members
OF congress are said to prefer the
longer and more pretentious name,
says the New York Sun. white
House. it is, in the mind and mouth
OF every American; so known across
the water, too. The term, as re-
cent researches by correspondents Of
the Sun have shown, is of respect
able antiquity. It seems to have been
traced as far back as Madison's Sec
ond administration. It will soon be
entitled to its centenary. It is a IA
miliar figure, of homely and cordial
look. It is not to be put out by q
long trained tntruding trollop like "Ex-
ecutive Mansion" That may accom-
modate itself we'll to the legal, formal
and clerkly style, but the popular and
the f1ttest name is and will be white
House." President Taft is no friend
Of pomp and swollen words. We have
no doubt that he prefers to live in a
"house." As for those members Of
congress who from fondness for elo-
quence or want of taste love high
sounding names, Mr.. Taft may tell
them little jest by which Dr..
William Everett used to teach
simplicity: AT Yale the presidents
lady .retires;' at Harvard the presi-
dents wife goes to bed"

They certainly will. and nobody can

better than anarchy-the control of
