John Lind has returned from his trip
to Alaska and has reiterated his deter
mination not to accept the nomination
of the democrats TO run for governor
of Minnesota. The democratic commit
tee hoped he would change his mind
while he was in Alaska and consent to
make the race upon his return to this
country. Nor are they completely dis
couraged now despite his renewed
refusal upon reaching the western states.
They are now Withholding the name of
another candidate for the position until
such time as Governor Lind reaches
Minnesota in the hopes that the warm
welcome TO be accorded him and the
renewed pledges of support will at that
late hour compel him to change his
mind. The democrats of Minnesota are
surely up against it and up against it
right. They realize that Lind is their
only chance, and their condition of mind
is well described by Shakespeare when
he says: 1.-The miserable have no other
medicine, but only hope"

A Fish That Gives Paint.

The well known brown pigment call
ed sepia is obtained from a ten armed
octopus found principally in the Med
iterranean and more especially at the
head of the Adriatic sea, where 1t is
caught by the natives for food.
The sepia is contained in a bag and
is really the black fluid Of which we
have all read as being discharged by
the creature TO cover its escape. Some
naturalists say that the fluid is brown
ish. which becomes more credible when
we know that this is the source of
sepia. The pigment is really powder
which dissolves in water. Its strength
may be estimated by the fact that 1t
will color 1000 times it's own bulk.
When the octopus has been killed the
sack or bag is removed and dried to
prevent putrefaction. The sepia is
treated with ammonia or caustic soda,
washed and dried. 1t is one Of the
most durable Of paints. except when
fully exposed to the fierce rays Of the
sun. and an even surface can be OBJ
tanned with it more easily than with
most paints. Sepia has been obtained
from q fossil cuttlefish thousands of
years old and found to be quite good
for paint. .....

ing of the representatives of the execu-

Since the exposure of the attempt TO
bride Senator Gore, vast amount OF
hot air has been wasted over the recent
attempted steals from the Indians. One
would almost believe it was the first
time Poor Lo had been the intended OF
real victim of designing thieves. 1t is
really little amusing to us who have
lived on the edges of the reservations
for many years. The facts of the mat
ter are that white men have been steal
ing from the Indians ever since the
white man landed on the American
shores, and it is only at very recent
date indeed when it was considered the
slightest crime to get what our unso-
phisticated red ward had received, or
expected to receive, from the govern
ment. If there is any defense in hered-
ity the American-born white man should
be pardoned for stealing from the
Indian, for the habit was bred in the
blood and bone back since the whites
began breeding on American soil.

"God tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb" and your Uncle Sam adjusts his
homestead laws to the drouth-stricken
settlers of the new west. In a recent
ruling the interior department has
extended the time for making perma-
nent residence for the settlers in the
drouth-stricken parts of the western
Dakotas and Montana over period of
one year. This ruling was made neces-
sary from the fact that many of the
homesteaders in those parts had invested
their all to get started on their claims
this year and had hoped to raise suffi-
cient crops to tide them over until next
year, but the drouth came and they did
not even raise sufficient hay to carry
their stock through the winter. 1t was
to assist those who really desire to
make good on their claims that the
has made the amended rul-
ing. Up until this year and for the
past ten the country west of the Mis-
souri, river has grown abundant crops
where anything was planted and the
drouth of this year has given it only a
temporary setback.

Perjury is a crime more severely

few crimes that carry as heavy a pen

that the entire system of jurispru-

administered under the forms Of law
and that this must be strictly guarded

II. r. DENTON, Editor.
History Repeats Itself.

The republican party has had its
troubles from the time of its birth. In
1861 it was forced to take leadership
for the preservation of the union and
the civil war ensued. In 1864 it was
explicitly declared as the sense of the
American people that the war was
failure. In 1868 the opposition arraigned
''the radical party for its disregard of
right and the unparalleled oppression
and tyranny which has marked its
career" In 1872 there was fusion
against the party, led by liberal repub-
licans," with Horace Greeley pitted
against Gen. Grant for the presidency;
and in that year it was asserted the
party had become mere instrument
of party tyranny and personal ambition
and an object of selfish greed" In 1876
the democrats denounced 1.-THE failure,
for all these eleven years of peace, to
make good the promise of the legal
tender notes" and the greenback party
declared that 1.-THE just hopes and
expectations of the suffering people"
had been disappointed, demanded the
repeal of the resumption act of January
IA, 1875, and insisted that United States
notes twill afford the best circulating
medium ever devised" In 1880, under
continuance of the greenback craze, it
was said that the right to make and
issue money had been delegated to cor
porations, while the democrats declared
their opposition to centralizationism
and to that dangerous spirit of encroach-
ment which tends to consolidate the
powers of all departments in one, and
thus create, whatever be the form of
government, a real despotism. In
1884 the greenbackers continued to hurl
anrthema, and the democrats asserted
that the republican party, so far as
principle is concerned, is a reminis-
cence." and enough people were per-
suaded to elect Grover Cleveland. In
1888 the republican party came back.
In 1902 it was retired under the appeal
for the preservation of free institu-
tions," and under denunciation of
republican protection as a fraud" In
1896, with the people in adversely, and
free and unlimited coinage of silver as
the paramount issue, the republican
party was restored to power and has
been doing business at the old stand
since. In the campaign literature of
former years every variety of denunci-
alton of the republican party and of its
men elected to leadership can be found.
Nothing particularly new since Taft was
inaugurated has been invented. The
party has been made to suffer in times
of prosperity, and it has been recalled
to the public service in times of advers-
ity. But there never has been time
since it was born that it had freedom
from assault. In the light of the record
the epithets of the present have no
form of newness. Men who are short
on language in which to clothe
reproaches are referred to "the history
