which might be used to advantage by some
other human being, and will some day see
clearly that the possession of property carries
with it positive obligation to use it to the
best advantage not only of ourselves but of
mankind in general The law today prohibits
the destruction of the property of another, but
it is about time that the law got in tune with
modern sentiment and made beginning of
calling the owner more strictly to account for
what he does with his own property especially
if he destroys it and thereby entails suffering
on many others
According to poll taken of its life sub
scribers by Success Magazine, the public opin-
ION of the country is shown to still have conf
deuce in President Taft, while strongly dis.
agreeing with him the tariff. The result in
the northwestern states is especially surprising,
where the vote is almost unanimous against his
tariff views, while still strongly supporting the
president himself. Aldrich and Cannon both
receive strong adverse vote.
The plan which has been taken up by
Success Magazine, by the way, is something
entirely new in journalism, and bids fair to
make that magazine leading exponent of pub
lie opinion. The magazine has 22,500 "life
subscribers" distributed over the whole coun-
try nearly as possible according to popula-
ton. To these men, the editors refer questions
regarding matters of public import, and from
the answers received, the'state of public opinion
can be most accurately guaged These thou
sands of men really constitute advisory
board of editors of this great magazine. An
illustration of the usefulness of the plan is
shown above in the way people are dissatifed
with the tariff law, and yet express faith in
President Taft-a peculiar state of public opin-
ion which could have been ascertained in no
other way.

SEVERE ARRAIGNMENT-BUT TOO
TRUE

The republican party of Minnesota is
ed concern. 1t seems to have degenerated into
the worship of well-dressed, well-mannered,
snooth-spoken, self-complacent mediocrity.
The one thing it seems most to dread is an idea
that is not of this order, and the man who can
represent the most of this sort of ideas consti-
tutes it's ideal.
There never party in heaven above
or earth beneath, not even the English house of
lords, that was easily shocked. It wears
whiskers three generations long, that wrap it
around like hair mattress and it lies on this
bed of ease, gazing contentedly into the blue
sky of it's past greatness.
Why disturb it's complacence? Why not let
it lie, and lie. in its inconsequence? If aroused
it might disturb the business of those who
gave it the sleeping potion which has brought
these dreams of ineffable content.
No one must be candidate for any office
already occupied where there's already candi-
date because that would mean effort, and effort
is wholly incompatible with that exquisite con-
course of harmones which come only in
dreams If this harmony should be disturbed
democrat might hold Office.
That would be calamity, yet strange to
say, it calamity of this same sort that
brought the state more of national fame and
consequence than any other single happening
in the past generation of events. But that came
through party faction and party fight.
1t may come again, but the constant prayer
of republicans is mot that way, Oh Lord, not
that way" eff we must be licked" they say
"let us make it easy, digniied and har mless to
those who hold our destinies in the hollow of
their hands. Let not our spanking be made
unseem ly by resistance
If ever party needed some one strong
enough and rough enough to scissor it's whisk-
and pry it from its bed of moss, it is the
republican party of Minnesota. 1t is today but
somnolent to cupidity, to be sold
wellgeneraled democracy
Its candidates speak in plattudes and
cancellations. 1t is systematically kept di-
vlded and bewildered by half dozen purely
selfish, dishonest aud demagogic issues. One
genuine, sincere, thoroughly honest and time
ly idea would drive it to panic 1t fears it's
own shadow of the past and its only hope lies
in unanimous nominations, the unanimous
adoption of dishonest platform and a cam
paign of apology, based upon the control of the
Philippines, the war with Nicaragua and the
undisputed fact that Joe Cannon swears-

GENTLEMAN BITTEN BY
 HYDROPHOBIA SKUNK
Buff EdwadS Victim and Will Be Hurried to Gal
 weston Institute

GLOBE, April 20.-Bitten by hy- drophobia skunk as he slept in the open during a cattle roundup, "Bufl'' Edwards, a well known cattleman will be rushed to the Pasteur insti- ute at Galveston. Texas, in an effort to save his life
 By prompt treatment t is hoped that the effects of the poison may be counteracted and his life saved.
 Edwards was bitten during the pro gress of roundup on the Murphy ranch.
 Too far from the ranch house. to sleep. he bunked in the open. with a tarpanlin over him. During the night he was awakened by sharp pain in his forehead, and on investigating found that he had been bitten by a skunk. just above the bridge of the nose.
 Realizing that he could do nothing until morning. he tried to sleep again. Three times the animal returned and tried to attack him, but each time it was driven away. Finally one of the dogs killed the animal.
 Edwards was given medical atten- ton yesterday by Dr. Maisch. He has resided in and around Globe for many years and is well known here
 Before the discovery of the Pasteur remedy, the bite of the hydrophobia skunk was considered to be most deadly in effect, from which the vic tim had hardly a possible chance to recover.
 In the past few years a number of accidents of this class have occurred in the vicinity of this city and many of them have been fatal.
 Since the discovery of the Pasteur cure, however. the hydrophobia skunk has been robbed of many of it's ter TOTS. as there is now more than fighting chance for the complete re- covery of the victim.
 Hy6rophobia skuDks work only in the open and only at right They us ually attack human being about the face or the hands. rarely in any oth- CT part of the body and in many in stances bite their victims in the nose. This is one reason why the poison has been so difficult to combat when injected into the system. as there is no chance to prevent it spreading to all parts of the body, as there is with a snake bite, which is usually about the ankles.

FL PASO MERCHANT IN THE JUAREz JAIL Charged With Smuggling Mex ican Dollars Across Line
 At Juarez

FL PASO. April Exchanged with smuggling Mexican silver dollars in. to the republic of Mexico from Fl Paso in violation of the customs laws of that country, John NJ. Hay, of Fl Paso, was taken into custody and is being held by the federal authorities in Juarez pending an investigation of his case.
 Hay was arrested yesterday short iy before noon in the branch of the Bank of Mexico in Juarez, where, il is said, he had just placed on deposit a sum of money in Mexican silver, this sum being variously estimated at from $20O to $500.
 Mexican officials are reticent con corning the particulars of the affair and an effort was made to keep It from the public, but the story is now current both in Juarez and in Fl Paso.
 It is charged that Hay went across the river in an automobile. talk ng the money with him. and after deposit ing the money at the bank. he was taiAtn AHlO CuSNOu9 Dy a ac0cidA Otil- cer who was present. The trouble re suited from a new ruling in Mexico relative to the importation and expor- tation of Mexican money.
 It is said that the Mexican govern ment does not wish any more of it's dcbe dollars to be reimported, nor does 1t wish 'any more to be export ed. but w'Shes to maintain about the same amount in the republic, hence 1t has put high duty on both expor- tations and importations. This duty had been lately added and it is said that Mir Hay was not aware Of it.
 The laws of Mexico impose a duty of s15 per kiio on Mexican pesos sent into that country and si000 weighs about tyenty-seven k'los. on which the duty would be S405. If the amount taken over by Hay. as 1t Is stated. the duty would be one-fifth of this amount. or only $S1.
 It was stated in Juarez today that the money has been conlscafed. and it was also said, though not officially. that the automobile of MT. Hay would be subject to confiscation in case he is found guilty.
