Time was when the delegates to a
republican state convention had a
voice in selecting the man who should
preside over their deliberations.
Under the new dispensation the
bosses will save the delegates the
trouble of choosing presiding officer
at the June love feast. The platform
will be carefully prepared in advance
and, of course, it is necessary to have
chairman who will appoint the right
kind OF committee on resolutions.
The candidates for Office have all
been agreed upon months ago. The
delegates will be graciously per-
mittted to listen to one of Frank
Stacy's speeches, delivered by proxy,
and will be expected to vigorously
applaud at proper intervals-the
clacquers can be depended upon to
start the applause. But 'tis the I'M
expected that happens and after all
there may "be something doing" in
disqualification meeting billed at the
SSt. Paul auditorium on June 81. 4 I.

The denunciatiOn of Hearst and h

The denunciation of Hearst and his
infamous methods of journalism by
Mayor Gaynor of New York before a
gathering of newspaper publishers is
a feather in the mayors cap. Mr..
Gaynor did not attempt to mince
matters-he raked Hearst and his
backcapping publications fore and
aft. He charged him with manu-
featuring evidence against public
officials and violating every form of
journalistic decency. It was raking
over which Hearst justly deserved and
it was so unanimously coincided in by
the other publishers present that they
refused to permit the yellow journalist
to reply.

NEWSPAPERDOM

A. c. Weiss, general manager OF
the Duluth Herald, had a deserving
honor conferred upon him in New
Y ork last week when he was elected a
director of the Associated Press.
This is the first time that director
in this organization has been selected
from city no larger than Duluth
and the Union is pleased to note
that Mr.. Weiss has received such dis
tinction. Since he became connected
with the Duluth Herald some twenty
years ago Mr.. Weiss has brought that
paper from an obscure, struggling
sheet up to a standard of excellence
which will compare favoraly with any
daily paper in Minnesota-it is
among the very best.

And now Bob La Toilette and his
cohorts are up in arms because Presi-
dent Taft appointed a postmaster of
the ''stalwart" faction at Portage,
Wis, instead of one of the so-called
"progressives." The Portage case,
say the La Toilette followers, is only
one of several in the state where the
recommendations of the progressives
have been turned down and stalwarts
appointed. Politically the state of
Wisconsin is badly mixed up-the old
parties are split up into warning fac
tons, and house divided against
itself cannot stand.

In referring to the death of the
great Norwegian poet and novelist,
Bjornstjerne Bjornson, the Pioneer
Press of the 28th ult. takes occasion
to remark THAT Governor Eberhart is
of Swedish parentage, but was con-
irmed in Norwegian church. Now
if our versatile governor would Guilt
vate an appetite for potatoes and
naccaroni he might make himself
solid with the Irish and Italians, and
his euphonious German surname can
be depended upon to line up the
Germans. There are few Americans
in Minnesota, but they don't count
and it is hardly worth while to waste
time on them; it might help some, how
ever, if his excellency were to take a
few lessons in the great American
game of poker and learn to pocket his
losses without squealing.

According to the United States i'm
migration authorities thousands of
the Italians who come to this country
every spring return to their native
land in the fall and live throughout
the winter on their savings. They re-
peat this proceeding year after year
and never have any intent to become
American citizens. This class of inn
migrants can be rightly classed as
undesirable" and should be refused
admission. These dagoes are directly
in contrast with the Irish, Germans.
Scandinavians and other Euroneans
who come to this country for the pur-
pose of making it their home.

One of the easiest ways to make
money rapidly in this era of pro-
gressiveness is to start gold mines
on paper. It makes no particular
difference where you locate them so
long as you can point them out-on the
map when you call upon the suckers
of the country to sell stock in ''the
mine which is yielding virgin gold"
You must of course carry few
nuggets with you in a chamois bag
samples from this prolific mine. At
the sight Of them the eyes of the
suckers will bulge out and they will
readily squander their last dollar for
stock. The business is surrounded
by a certain amount of risk, of
course, but the chances are that before
the government Hawkshaws get onto
your little game you will have
swindled the credulous out of a
million or two and are hobnobbing
with royalty in foreign lands. We
are not advising you to engage in
this business, mind you, for it is
highly dishonorable, but merely make
mention of the fact that it is possible
for shrewd. INSCRIPTIONS persons to
Iamass great wealth thereby.

1t is only fair that we give the devil
his due, and hence we must not re-
frain from bestowing few words of
praise upon the United States SUI
preme court, which this week ruled
upon two important cases which will
meet with public appreciation. It has
ordered that Chas. B. Heike, former
secretary of the American Sugar
company, must stand trial on a
charge of conspiracy to defraud the
government out of customs duties,
and that the Standard Oil company
must cease to do business in Tennes-
see, as ruled by the supreme court of
that state.

The national socialist .pttty, en-
couraged by its success in Milwaukee,

The political wiseacres in Washing
ton have Theodore Roosevelt's future
career already arranged for him-he
is to succeed Chauncey M. Depew in
the United States senate. These
high-browed individuals are liable TO
be fooled. The colonel is just as
likely as not to take a notion to
farming and to settle down in
Pumpkin Hollow or. some other out
landish district and grow up with the
country. If Theodore is hankering
after senatorship he will get it, but
If not all the politicians in the
country could not force it upon him.

President Barrett of the Farmers
Educational and Cooperative Union
of America at the national conven-
tion in St. Louis this week paid a
high compliment to the tillers of the
soil. Among other things he said:
"The farmer is no longer asleep. In
his awakening he is invincible. He
demands to be treated, not as the old
easily controlled or easily pacifed
farmer. He is no longer pleading.
He is commanding. Congress in
general, and politicians in general,
have paid, and are paying more
attention to the farmer, and that is
because the farmer is paying more
attention to the politician" Verify,
the time has come when the farmer
cannot be ignored-he is an important
factor that has to be reckoned with.

It is pleasing to note that the high
cost of living has received severe
jolt at the hands of the tobacco trust.

ST. PAUL. GOES REPUBLICAN,.

sis: ST. PAUL GOES REPUBLICAN,.
Herbert 2. Keller, republican, was
elected mayor of st. Paul by nearly
5000 plurality; republican candidates
for comptroller and treasurer we're
also elected. Five of the nine assem-
=blymen are republicans. But the
democrats elected eight of the twelve
aldermen. Haas, the democratic can
didate for mayor, attributes his de-
feat to the taxation issue: his brother
was assessor and increased the yalu-
alton of personal property materially:
there was a big kick on the part of
many OF the smaller taxpayers and
their wrath was visited upon Henry
Haas, the democratic candidate for
mayor. It was generally understood
that a certain element in the repub-
lican party supported Haas and
secretly knitted Keller: but the up
heaval was SO great that the treachery
OF the mercenary republicans had no
effect on the result.
In this connection the action of
Governor Eberhart in failing to ap-
pear at the auditorium meeting on
Friday evening, where he was adver-
tised to speak with Mr.. Keller, was.
to say the least, very singular-the
excuse his friends offer for his non
was that a stone shed in
which he had an interest burned down
IN a Mankato quarry and he had to
90 there and inspect the ruins. Others
are so unkind as to insinuate that the
governor lacked the nerve to come
out squarely in favor of the repub-
lean candidate for mayor. Anyhow
t is we'll understood that the Brewers
md Liquor Dealers association in
St. Paul was friendly to the demo-
cratic candidate for mayor.

Monday was taken to the peniten-

ing from the school district at Bruno,
of which he was treasurer. The short
age amounts to between $4,000 and
$4,000. Wharton has been promi-
nent in business and church affairs
in Bruno for many years. He began
taking the money of the school dis
trict as far back as 1904; rarely at.
first, but more frequently in the last
few years.
