IMPRESSIONS OF A STRANGER.

Rev. David Morgan of st. Paul..
the fluent lecturer on socialism who
recently visited Bemidji and other
towns in Beltrami and adjoining
counties, has returned to his home
where he has put in writing his i'm.
preston of northern Minnesota in
the following languages:
II have been on a lecture tour
through Northern Minnesota. I
have walked for miles through its
woods, between lectures, and stayed
with homesteaders in their shanties.
That is a wonderful country with
great possibilities. The land is
very fertile, and no finer grass for
cattle can be found anywhere, yet
there are comparatively few settlers.
I talked with dozens of these settlers
and they agreed as to the reason for
the country not being better settled.
In the first place, when this land
was opened for settlement, not one
in fifty who rushed in to take up the
lands intended to make a home up
there. Lumberjacks filed and did as
little as possible to improve the land
and sold it for few hundred dollars
to the lumber companies. Others
from all callings of life did the same,
scores of school teachers owning
homesteads and not intending to
farm. Lawyers, doctors, and even
ministers, as we'll as business men,
did likewise, and now much of the
land is held by spectators.
The roads are poor. almost i'm.
passable most of the year. The set.
tiers have to work three and four
weeks year to keep the roads open,
while the Spectator goes free. The
settler is taxed often higher than
where land is worth 500 an acre.
There is constant fear of fire through
the carelessness of railroads and
lumber companies.
The remedy suggested by one
settler is: First, let the government
refuse to permit any person to file
on the land unless he goes to work
and improves at least fifteen acres,
and puts up a house worth 5000 OF
$500, as he would have to in Canada.
Also, let the state follow the same
rules, and not sell except to actual
settlers; change the tax laws so that
the speculator, like in New Zealand,
shall bear the greater burden of the
taxes, and the vhomesteaders 60 al
most free. This, he claimed, would
bring in real farmers, not land
tramps. The state should under
take at once to build good roads
and assess the cost to the land"

Could the audacity of ignorance go
farther than to state that the Ian

Democratic party to county option?
Add to this, the undisputed fact that
the county option resolution was voted
down in the committee on resolutions
BY vote of 18 to 8 and when offered
on the floor of the convention, the
mover was refused hearing, we may
fairly infer the real attitude of the
Democratic party on this question.
Under all the circumstances the sud

Governor A. O. Eberhart, Repub-4
1tcan candidate for governor, deliv-
cred his keynote speech at Mankato
before an audience including many
prominent members of the party. He
said:
On the .21st day of last June there
assembled at st. Paul one of the
most important and memorable con-
ventions ever held by the Republican
party in Minnesota. It was important
because held at a time when the
Democratic party, then in control of
the state patronage, was bending every
effort to revive the forgotten strife Of
prior campaigns in the Republican
party and to place new obstacles in
the way of harmonious action 1t was
memorable because more truly repre-
sentative, fair and deliberative than
any conventions in recent years, and
Chiefly because, as is universally fad-
mitted, it was absolutely free from
domination by any clique, faction, in
terest or corporation, free to express
the will Of the people in the selection
Of candidates and the adoption Of a
platform. I received the unanimous
nomination Of the convention for the
Office Of governor, and accepted the
same realizing fully the duties and
responsibilities involved, and pledged
myself to the faithful discharge there

the unanimous nomination rendered

NO, KATHERINE

Every once in while some man
or woman makes bid for notorie-
ty by advancing some sort of a
strange or daring doctrine. DR..
Katherine B. Davis of the Uni.
versity OF Chicago is the latest.
This is Katie's way of breaking
into the newspapers:
81 advocate polygamy as a
national institution, open and
recognized, if the identical stand
ard of morals is impossible for
both men and women"
"The cause of the crimes COM
mitted by the great majority OF
women is the fact that there is
one set of morals for men and an
entirely different standard for
women"
"In the New York state re.
formatory, of which l have charge
and in which there are between
800 and 400 women, there are few
who are not the victims, primarily
or solely, of this double standard.
Because OF it men escape unscath.
ed with the complete tolerance, il
not the approval of society, while
woman go to ruin from which
they can rarely be reclaimed and
our founding asylums are filled
with defective children.
And so. say emphatically if j,
is impossible for men to live by
standards which civilization requires
of its women, then, let us establish
an open system of polygamy. Let a
man be married to as many wives as
he can support. Let these women
not be the outcasts of society, and
let their children be given the love
and care and opportunity that every
human being born into the world
deserves. Would this not be inf.
nitely better than our present system
and its moral rottenness"
Nope, Katherine, one wife at the
present high cost of living is a great
plenty. You are on the right track
but your feet slip when you come
to offering a remedy for existing
evils. II ..-

true, and if he meant it, we presume
he will open a recruiting station at
an early date as his forces may come

with the United States army, no

municipal guards into military shape.

Will Support Stanton, and Why.

Support MEN not political parties.
And one of the very first cases in
which we intend to jump the traces
is in the election for district Judge.
Judge Stanton, the non.partisan can
didate for that office, who is a man Of
such brilliant mind and so many
sterling qualities that the voters
would make grave mistake if they
failed to support him. If any Office
should be kept out of politics, the
judgeship is the one, and we hope
the voters in Judge Stanton's dis.

Party bossism is not entirely extinct
in Minnesota. When the Democratic
party assembled in Minneapolis on
July % last it nominated John Lind
for governor, after adopting plat
form upon which he refused to stand.
Commenting upon this platform the
Minneapolis Tribune said:
"As represented by its platform, the
Democratic party stands for nothing
but criticism. has no other aim than
but negation, is capable Of nothing but
criticism, has no other aim than to
get Office and makes no higher bid for
public confidence than the promise to
carry out Republican policies better" :
So much for the platform. Mr.. Lind
declined the nomination. and the
chairman of the Democratic site CEN
trail committee carried his letter of
declination in his inside pocket for
six weeks meanwhile regaling the
public with various stories and prom.
ises. During this period the Demo-
cratic boss evolved the Kitchen Cab

and new to the party, whose policy

County Option.

The nominee of the Democratic
state central committee says that he
will do more than sign county OPP
ton bill If passed by the legislature.
He will, II elected governor, recon-
mend it to the legislature. Without
attempting to minimize the force and
effect Of executive recommendations,
say in all seriousness to the people Of
this state, that If you do not elect
alegislature IN favor Of county option
Recommendation Of the governor will
not secure the passage Of the law.
Promises like this may sound good
during campaign, but laws are based
upon the will OF the people as exer
scised by their chosen representatives.
The Republican declaration is as fol-
lows:
The Republican party stands for
the strict regulation and control Of
the liquor traffic. All the restrictive
and regulatiye provisions relating to
the same now on the statute books of
the state are the fruits of Republican
legislation. The Republican party
stands for the strict and rigid en-
forcement Of all these provisions and
for the strict and rigid enforcement
