Emma Goldman and Ben Reitman,
the anarchists, arrested in San Fran
cisco for holding an unlawful meeting,
we're acquitted by the jury upon in
structions from the court. This can
hardly have any other effect than to
encourage the notorious advocates OF
anarchy to further defy the law-to
preach their incendiary doctrines more
openly than ever. Why courts of
justice permit agitators of the Gold
man and Reitman stripe to go about
the country denouncing the govern
ment and melting to lawlessness is a
question difficult to understand. Are
the judges afraid of assassination? It
looks that way.

Colonel Jim Guffey,s the Pittsburg
oil magnate, has been unanimously
chosen as the Pennsylvania member
of the democratic national committee
to succeed James Kerr, deceased. It
will be remembered that Guffey was
defeated for the position at the Denver
convention through the instrumentality
of William J. Bryan and that the re-
suit was a sensational controversy
between the two. Being one of those
men who neither forgets nor forgives
his opponents in politics, Colonel
Jim might be expected to make it un-
comfortable for Mr.. Bryan should he
again aspire to the presidency.

Homesteaders who have settled on
the Ignite coal lands of North Dakota
and Montana may never be granted
full title to such LANDS. The matter
has been taken up by both houses of
congress and the controversy hinges
on whether the homesteaders shall be
granted full title to their lands or
whether the government shall be al
lowed to retain title to the coal de-
posits. A bill has been practically
agreed upon by the public lands com
mittee which will protect the settlers
as far as possible, giving them every
thing except the actual title to the coal
deposits. The trouble arises from the
withdrawal by the governments Of the
Ignite coal lands.

From the testimony of witnesses in
the crib fire investigation at Chicago
it appears that the structure was a
veritable fire trap, that it's floors we're
oil soaked, and that frequently it had
for many hours been without even the
meager protection of the tug. The
spread of the fire was declared by
workmen to have been so rapid that
the tug, had it been moored alongside
at the time, could not have saved all
the employees. Whosoever is guilty of
the criminal negligence which resulted
in this horrible calamity should be
punished to the fullest extent of the
law.

It is easier to knock than to boost.
Any idiot with modicum of brains
can criticise and find fault. Although
he may never have made success of
anything he undertook he will glibly
pirate of how the affairs of the town,
the city, the county, the state and the
nation should be conducted. The
fault-fnding kicker generally poses as
moral reformer while his own pri-
vate life is as foul as a city sewer,
and no one stands more in need of re-
forming than himself. One of the most
useless as we'll as the most disgusting
specimens of God s carelessness extant
is a chronic knocker and self-ap-
pointed hypocritical reformer.

In letter to the independents Press
Hon. Daniel Anderson of Cambridge
takes strong grounds in favor of a
reapportionemnt of the legislative dis
tricts of the state without increasing
the membership of either the house or
senate. Mr.. Anderson has undoubt-
edly the right idea, but we are afraid
the majority of the legislators will not
adopt his views. The members from
the southern and central counties will.
naturally enough, want to hold on to
what they already have in the way of
representation. If there is reappor-
tionment it ought to be based on pop-
ulation as contemplated by our state
constitution which provides that, ''The
representation in both houses shall be
apportioned equally throughout the
different sections of the state, in pro-
portion to the population thereof, ex-
elusive of Indians not taxable under
the provisions of law"

special to the St. Paul Dispatc

A special to the St. Paul Dispatch
from Washington quotes one of our
senator's either Mr.. Nelson or Mr..
Clapp-as being disgruntled because
the president saw fit to appoint his
old friend M. j. Costello of St. Paul,
to an unimportant position. Mr..
Costello and President Roosevelt were
colleagues in the New York legisla-
ture, and M. J. has, to- our personal
knowledge, been a staunch supporter
of the president. More than that Mr..
Costello has supported and voted for
republican candidates on the state and
national tickets for the past fifteen
years. If he voted for Bob Smith for
mayor of st. Paul on several &C.
casions thousands of other republic
cans did likewise. It comes with poor
grace from men who recommended a
renegade republican like Paul Ewert
for federal position to cavil at M. J.
Costello. The latter is as good a re-
publican as either Senator Nelson or
Senator Clapp.
