MINNEsOTA's NEW GOVERNOR

Mr.. A. o. Eberhart, who succeed
ed the late John A. Johnson as gov
ernor of Minnesota, Is a Republican,
and the government Of that State is
now entirely in the hands Of the Re-
publicans. Minnesota Is normally a
Republican State. and in fact. Gov
ernor Johnson was the only Demo
crat that has been able to break
through their ranks.
He was elected governor for three
successive terms, but his election
was not due to the fact that he was
a Democrat, but because he was a re-
former and a man of strong person
alities. The rest of the Democratic
ticket was always beaten by an over
whelming majority.
The Democrats haven't another
John Johnson in Minnesota, or else
where, and the probabilities are that
Minnesota will stay in the solid Re-
publican column for many years.

Polar life brings strange revela-
tons; man who is model of
amiability at home is a savage in
those high ATTITUDES, where Mother
Nature and humanity seem bent on
revealing their crudest Characters
tics. When a man goes to the Arc
tics first he dislikes it; if he is
caught there one winter he vows to
himself that he will never repeat the
adventure. Yet when he gets back
home, he discovers that the white
silence" has compelling fascina-
ton. I have never known a man
who could resist the chance to go
again, even at a financial loss. After
twenty years of experience, if an
other opportunity came to me, it is
doubtful whether any consideration
would prevent my taking up the
work again.
Once the charm of those long
months of daylight, the mysterious
deathly silence of those long nights
the white glare of that brilliant
moonlight across trackless wastes OF
snow and ice. has been felt, man is
unable to resist the siren call of the
North, that has become more to him
than family, home, friends or money
Gladly he takes his life in his hands
and fares forth again into those fro
zen seas.-Captain Edwin Coffin. OF

BEWARE OF TAMMANY.

The Greensboro Telegram thinks
Tammany was forced to do the de-
cent thing when 1t nominated Judge
Gaynor for mayor Of New York. The
Telegram says:
''Tammany, which Is the Demo-
cratic organization of New York
County, and which is also more or
less corrupt, has brought about the
nomination of a clean man for
mayor of Greater New York. On
occasion even a ring has to do the
decent thing"
Judge Gaynor may be clean now,
but can he remain clean If elected
mayor of New York by the Tammany
ring, which the Telegram admits is
more or less corrupt? AS a mat
ter of fact Tammany Is said to be
the most corrupt political organiza-
ton in the United States, and it is
reasonable to suppose that they
would control Judge Gaynor's action
In matters important to them, or
else tie his. hands so he could do
them no harm. If the people of
New York City want good, honest
government they had better steer
clear of Tammany. Beware of the
Greeks bearing gifts.

THE WOMAN CANDIDATE.

Just at present Baltimore seems
to be the storm centre Of politics In
the South. The politicians in that
city are much stirred up over the
proposed franchise amendment for
Maryland, the suffragettes have
been demanding a hearing for some
months, and now a married lady
says she will be a candidate for the
State legislature on the Socialist
ticket However. the Baltimore poll
ticians Of the male persuasion hope
to shelve her on the ground that in
the text of the law relating to can
didates the word he" is used
throughout and no provision made for
she" Speaking of the woman's can
didacy for the Maryland legislature.
the Baltimore Sun says:
"Suffragettes have now a leader
of whom they can be proud, for Mrs.
Ada Smith Lang has made applica-
ton with the Socialist party as a
candidate for the legislature on that
ticket and declares she will do all in
her power to win her fight.
Mrs. Lang will find herself hand
icapped, however, for, according to
the wording Of the alw, 1t is said,
her application could not be consid-
cred for the reason that in the text
of the law relating to candidates the
| word "he" Is used throughout. AL
| though the Supervisors of Election
have not as yet received the applica-
ton of Mrs Lang, some of the mem
bers say her name will not be con-
| sidered.
| When asked what legislation
she would especially advocate in case
she were elected to the legislature
Mrs. Lang replied:
my first bill would be to provide
pensions for all aged persons. / ad
vocate this because I think there Il
a crying need for such legislation. L
/ makes me feel dreadful to see ole
people VINO Ill IuelT youuSeI odS
gave their best efforts to building III
this great nation, strolling arount
the streets in destitute circumstance
or wasting their few remaining year,

Mrs. Lang's crying need sounds
VERY good on paper, and would tina
every aged person could be put on ;

would the money come from? Tha

The Winston Journal cites the fol-
lowing in support of Bryan's guaran-
tee of bank deposits:
Guarantee of bank deposits
might not be popular In this
State, but the guarantee seems
to work in Oklahoma. A bank
closed in that State recently and
the depositors lost nothing. The
State made it good"
And the State made good. Doesn' t
that smack of Socialism? Who is
the State anyway-isn't it the peo-
pie? So the people, the taxpayers ii
you please, made good. Why should
the people who live a hundred miles
away be responsible for the money
deposited in a certain bank in that
State. II States would not allow
wild cat" banks then there would
be no need for further guarantee.

Another Sample of Democratic In
consistency.

Another Sample of Democratic In
consistency.
The Democratic newspapers are a
constant source of amusement to
me. They try to make the people
believe that they are ruined by the
tariff, and yet, in the very same issue
of the paper, they boast of the great
progress this country is making and
the universal prosperity 1t Is enjoy
ing.
Here are two clippings taken from
our neighbor, the Daily Sentinel, of
September 21st. both on the editorial
page.
The first says:
cit is remarkable how little the
Republican papers are saying about
that tariff law. They are discussing
every other conceivable subject with
the idea of diverting the attention of
the public from this one supreme is
sue"
The second says:
This country is growing more
rapidly In the matter Of wealth than
any other nation on the face of the
earth. The value of manufactured
products shows a splendid increase,
while the gain in the value of agri-
cultural products has been little
short Of phenomenal. Even appar-
entity Insignificant articles are now
reaching into the millions. For in
stance, the value of the chickens of
laying age in the United States at
the last census was $4,000, 900 and
there is reason to look for a large
increase in this item at the next
census"

In recent address at Ell Paso,
Texas, Mr.. Bryan asserted that the
only real reform in the tariff at
tempted was by reform Republicans
while the Democrats quarreled
among themselves for protection for
industries in their respective dis
tricts.
And, yet, with this record behind
them the Democrats now propose to
go into the next campaign with the
tariff as their main issue. The Re-
publicans will doubtless welcome the
issue and should be able to put their
opponents to rout on every stump.

MERRuaAc AND MONITOR AT
FAIR.


The Same Show That Made Such
Hit nc the jamestown Exposition.
The Merrimac and Monitor show
has been booked for the State FAIR,
Secretary Pogue receiving word from
]. III. Johnson. the proprietor, At
Carlisle, Pa, that his Merrimac and
Monitor and Arcade shows would be
here for the Fair, with the request
to reserve sufficient space to locate
them fair week, October 1928.
The Merrimac and Monitor show Is
the same one that made jamestown
Tereentennial Exposition at Norfolk
In 1907.
It represents in realistic manner
the great battle on Hampton Roads
between the first ironclads, the fight
that revolutionized naval warfare,
and ended without decisive victory
for either vessel.
All the details of that terrific and
historic conflict of the civil war are
shown with faithful adherents to the
facts of impartial history. 1t is safe
to say that 1t is easily one Of the most
thrilling that was ever put on exhi'
bition anywhere.
Another notable show that has re-
served location for the Fair is JOSEPH
G. Ferari's Trained Wild Anima
Arena.
Messrs. Johnson and Ferari are
making the same fairs in the great
Virginia Carolina Circuit to which
our State Fair belongs, the two max

ALL WE'RE INCONSISTENT.

Mr.. Bryan has refused to meet
Senator Bailey in Atlanta this month
for the purpose of discussing the
tariff from a Democratic standpoint.
NJ. Bryan says that such a meeting
might hurt the chances of Demo
cratic success in the Congressional
campaign next year. From that
viewpoint Mr.. Bryan is probably
right. for the more the people learn
OF the party and its inner work
:ngs" the fewer there will be to
vote the Democratic ticket.
But from Mr.. Bailey's standpoint
MIR. Bryan should meet him since he
attacked him (Bailey) in his own
State. However, in explaining the
position the Democratic members
took on the question, Mr.. Bailey gets
out of the record. He says that the
Democratic members were all con-
sistent, except Senator McEnry, of
Louisiana, who voted for the tariff
bill as finally passed. Very few If
any of the Democratic members were
consistent, but In our opinion Sena-
tor McEnry was more consistent than
Senator Bailey and his colleagues
The Senator from Louisiana worked
to have certain commodities of his
State protected in the bill and then
voted for the bill on its final passage
Bailey and others worked for pro
tective tariff until they got certain
articles included in the bill, and the1
after they were certain it would pass
with their schedules included, they
voted against the bill on it's fina
passage. After Senator McEnry hat
once deserted the Democratic plat
form he was consistent to the end
The others were not consistent IL
deserving their platform to have Ger
tain protective schedules included IL
the measure, and again inconsisten
when they refused to vote for tn,
bill after they had worked for pro
tective schedules that had been in
eorporated in the bill.
