club has been augmented in the last few
weeks by many new names The dances
given in the club ballroom every little
while keep the interest of society alive
throughout the season, and there are
few happenings so pleasantly anticipated.
The clubrooms have been redecorated
In preparation for the season, and the
effect was the subject of much admiring
comment last evening. The building is
architecturally one of the most impress
siye and one of the most pleasing in the
city. Excellent taste was displayed in
the decorating and furnishing of the in
terror. Palms and other handsome plants
heightened the beauty of the environment
for the hundreds of pretty women and
their escorts who attended the opening.
Calman's orchestra played throughout
the hours and dancing was enjoyed in
the ballroom.

represented. Chaperones were chosen
from among the members, and included

It looks as if Joe Folk would have
to be seriously considered for one OF
the two places on the democratic
national ticket. The American people
rather like the Missourlan. The out
look IS for several candidates and
what Bryan says about the candi-
dates, even though not candidate
himself, will cut considerable of a
figure more than some people like to
admit. Harmon IS making a great
record as governor of Ohio, and a re-
election would make him very
prominent. Governor Marshall of
Indiana is ALSO doing things we'll,
and Gaynor of New York has already
made greater record, IN his few
months as mayor, than any chief
magistrate the imperial city has ever
had. II Gaynor continues as he has
begun, he will be formidable candi-
date. There are still three years
Of the Taft administration, and in
this swift-movlng age, 1t is not
always certain what the dominant
issue will be q few years from now.
There is likely to be. however, an
attempt IN 1912 to find out whether
there is any possibility of dislodglng
plutocracy through present political
parties, and If the attempt fails, things
are likely to become exciting.

TRIBUTE TO JOHNSON.

Winona, MIMI, March .. The state
normal school board has published a
beautiful memorial to Governor John
son of sixteen pages, artistlcally
printed and bound, containing the
following sentiments:
1.-The normal school board shares in
the common sorrow that has befallen
our state in the death of Governor
John A. Johnson.
TO each member his taking away
is the loss Of a personal associate, an
intimate friend. In his li1e's history
are reflected the best ideals of man
who gave himself to high and useful
service.
His vision was clear, his soul
abounded in sympathy, his modesty
and self denial and charm and dignity
to his character. He exempted the
finest traditions of American man
hood, honesty. sincerity, and noble
spirit.
Truly it may be SAID that as each
day goes by his memory will be more
and more deeply craven on the hearts
of all whose good fortune it was to
know this man among men,"
Then follow the names of the nine
members of the board.

The apologists for the trusts base
their defense on the economies of
production alleged to come from con-
solidation of. plants, elimination of
officers, less statesmen, control of raw
materials and facilities Of Transporter
tion, etc. Investigation shows that
this view, long prevalent. is erroneous"
1t fails to account for greed, the
desire, when an industry is
monopolized, to put on all that the
traffic will bear. With competition
eliminated and complete control of the
industry, the tendency is to raise
prices so much that the economies
mean more profits for the trust, and
not a cheapening of goods for the
people. With high tariff wall
protecting the territory of the trust
in this country, with power to crush
the Independent plant by undertaking,
and protected from abroad. the trust is
free to meet it's outside competitors in
the markets of the world and beat
them.

IT DOES LOOK PECULIAR.

bergh's outbreak against Postmaster
General Hitchcock was quite expected
by Sixth district men, for the way In
which the congressman has been get
ting turned down on postoftice recon-
mendations has become current
scandal. The instances at Litchtield
and Bralnerd showed that Lind
bergh recommendation had no weight
with the department. Now the Little
Falls appointment is getting into a
mess. E. Brown, who got the largest
vote IN the popular election, has the
Llndbergh Endorsement. but move
ment IS under way to have Mrs.
Clara Fuller retained in the Office.
This is backed among others by NJ. NJ.
Williams, the new university regent
who is understood to have broken
with Mr.. Llndbergh over the postomce
affair. This rather damages the value
of the Williams appointment as a
''harmonlzer.

Albert Lea Standard: Writing the

speech in that city in which he again
declared the Aldrich tariff 1.-The best

this suggestive query: rs he held

him to take the astounding and
unprecedented step of sending u

money from the j. Pierront Morgan
Kuhn, Loeb syndicate for railroad
purposes, and that induced him to
send Robert Bacon, partner in

TAFT AND. THE TARIFF.

Albert. Lea Standard. In his Des
MONIES speech before the tariff bill
was passed Taft said:
1T is my judgment that a revision
of the tariff in accordance with the
pledge of the republican party WILL
BE A. SUBSTANTIAL REVISION
DOWNWARD:
In his Llnco]n's birthday speech
recently in New York he said:
"NOTH1NG WAS EXPRESSLY
SAID IN THE PLATFORM THAT
THIS WAS TO BE A DOWNWARD
REVISION. = l. there Q
venture to repeat the remark 1 have
had occasion to make before, that the
persent custom law is the BEST
THAT HAS EVER BEEN PASSED. ,
If an ordinary citizen should thus
contradict himself, what would be
thought and said of him? The truth
is, the Aldrlch tariff law is, as
Senator Clapp denounced it, a
'monstrosity, . it increases the
burden of poverty, of the common
people, instead Of fairly imposing the
taxes upon wealth. It is filed with
many deliberate ''jokers' and fraud
and is the worst outrage In the form
of revenue measure ever imposed on
the American people.

The Census Man Is Coming.

The Census Man Is Comm 3.
Congress has put about the last
touch to the census taking machine,
and little more is to be expected in the
way of publicity until the man and
woman, with sharpened pencil, ring
the doorbell. Every individual, every
family, is ready for the call. There is
a satisfaction in standing up for count
by the representative Of the United
States government. To be overlooked
is to be sighted, and for ten years
there'll not be a chance to rectify the
error.
But there's another side to this mat
ter Of being out when the census taker
calls. Your town or county wants to
show up we'll in the results. A rival
town or county may have fewer in
habitants and yet score ahead of yours
in results because there were fewer
absentees on the fateful day. Doubt
less the government figures when pub
lished will fall below the local sesti-
mate, but it will be satisfaction to
recall that you were on hand and saw
the agent put down Everybody and
the hired GIRL" !:

Professor Coulter of the University
OF Minnesota. says that statistics show
that while tho farming class has IN
creased per cent in this country
in the last thirty years, the lawyers
have increased eleven hundred per
cent. All professional classes have
increased in q much larger percent
age than the farmers This refers not
to the population but to number
engaged in agriculture or in the pro-
fessions. The farmers, unless the
stuff they produce has increased in the
same proportion as the demand, which
is unlikely, would be unable to meet
the demand from all the classes which
have increased faster than the
agricultural, and the result would be a
higher price, based on limited supply
and greater demand. This is ad-
vanced as one of the factors in the
high prices problem.
