Here is what Pinchot, friend of T.
R., said about the tariff in his St.
Paul speech which the Little Falls
Transcript thinks is all right:
1.-The tariff, under the policy of
protection, was originally a means to
raise the rate of wages. It has been
made tool to increase the cost of
living.
The wool schedule, protesting to
protect the wool grower, is found to
result in sacrificing grower and con-
sumner alike to one of the most
rapacious trusts.
The cotton cloth schedule was
increased in the face of the uncon-
tradicted public testimony Of the
manufacturers themselves that it
o1ght to remain unchanged.
49,. The steel interest has by a trick
secured an indefensible Increase in the
tariff On structural steel. ::

A new chapel, costing $500, 600 has
been erected at West Point military
academy. This seems extravagant.
You could build whole lot of country
churches for that sum, and there are
few catherals in the country that
cost such a sum. If Uncle Sam 3
future officers learn, however, that
the fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of man includes the
private soldier, the chapel will be
worth more than its cost. But when
we spend SO, 900, 900 for battleship,
a splendid engine OF murder, $500, 600
for a chapel seems small. If when we
sent the navy around the world, show
ing all the nations that we could kill
too IN highly civilized way, we
had sent lot of missionaries and
teachers and other ''soldiers of the
common good, it would have been
more truly representative of what IS
best In America.

According to the mlsleader of re-
publican opinion In this city, the
republican convention was "har-
monious. Of course a bitter scrap
over chairman is harmony; of course,
scurrylng over the country in autos
to bring IN delegates before the other
fellow saw them, is harmony; of
course, interfering the postofice
matter into the Third ward primary is
harmony; OF course, defeating Buck.
mans first lieutenant at Koyalton is
harmony; refusing to allow the state
game warden on the First ward ticket
is also harmony. There wasn't going
to be any: resolutions adopted at the
county convention, but Gaudet spoiled
that little game, and after he had
sprung the Lirdbergh resolution, the
coons came down the tree pretty fest.

The speeches of Garfield and Plnchot
at st. Paul must certainly have been
startling to old line republicans. They
breathed in every line what once
was called populism and radical demo-
cracy. The press reports say that all
present applauded. II some who were
there did so, 1t must have been be.
cause they did not want to be con-
sp1cuous in not applaudlng. 1t would
be difficult to make Minnesotans be-
lieva that all who were there were
believers in Plnchot's doctrines. OF
course, conversions are always
possible.

The Transcript and a few republican
leaders represent nothing in Morrison
county now but what certain crowd
of Brainerd stalwarts want. They
seem to glory in being tail to tho
Crow Wing dog. Both unite in
disliking Lindbergh and progressive
policies. The Herald's predictionsas
to trouble in primary ana county con-
ventions proved true. The progressive
republicans of this county know very
we'll that the Transcript. doesn' t
represent them, and while they may
tolerate 1t, they will never follow it.
They are also learning, and the
recent convention proved, that some
alleged friends of Lindbergh are the
opposite, and in the interests of the
state administration, which IS much
in need of harmony, would sacrifice
the congressman. The idea that dem
is ridiculous and absurd. It is we'll
known that coterie of Little Falls
republicans. aided by others in Brain
erd, have thwarted Llndbergh where
ever possible, not only with regard to
postofices, but in other things. 1t
is over year now since the people of
Little Falls selected postmaster,
and by vote so large that there could
; be no question of the popular will. Is

The fact that the doctrines Clifford
Pinchot now breaches differ only in
detail and not in essence from those
brought to the public mind years ago
by Weaver, Altgeld. Bryan. Henry
George and others, may make them
not very palatable to the unthinking,
but nevertheless they are based on
fundamental truths.
Between those who believe in these
truths, ana those who condemn, there
is a line of cleavage which cannot be
br1dged.

Without much organization, and at
short notice, the progressive re-
publicans of this county put up as
neat scrap last week as the county
has seen in long time. The gentle
men in Bralnerd who think they
have Morrison county republicans by
the tail simply because the local
organ and some alleged leaders seem to
be run from Brainerd, are due for a
jolt this fall. when the progressives
are organized.

reasons therefor and to voice its hope
for the party future rather than Its
approval Of the party past seemed the
purpose of the platform that was pro-
mulgated. ,~:. r.,
Upon all of those public questions
on which there IS no conflict of view,
the platform was strong. It was sat
urateu with all Of the pleasing general.
titles which may be interpreted to suit
the voter, be his party what it may.
But upon those vital questions
which threaten to divide the republl.
can party and in the discussion OF
which Minnesota has held foremost
place in the national view, the J.: plat
form was significantly silent or pur.
poseiy non committai. Nothing that
could provoke discord or arouse divi-
sion was admitted to the formal de-
claratlon or permitted of the conven'
tion body. 80.
It was in the convention atmosphere
that only such utterances would bf
tolerated as would express no disloyai'
ty to the republican organization; that
the administration, il not supported al
all hazard must be immune from cen

offered for the introduction of fire
brands that would carry the burning
beyond the convention hall and int<
the people. Without any plan special
~ pre-concerted, this appeared to bt
the taclt determination of the conven
ton.
The result is a platform of many
words and little force. Anything els<
was impossible. The party is rallied
around the principles of conservation,
of reapportlonment, of state develop
ment, of administration of state
affairs in the large interest of the
people and of many others around
which the party would inevitably raj
ly, but which are absolutely not in
issue. They will neither attract mol

the territory and to raise the price of
the service to point beyond the legiti-
mate cost.
There is also the danger Of political
control Of many voters by large con-
tractor, who thereby becomes the pro-
prietor Of a political machine through
which he is able to continue his pos
session of the contract Yet the con-
tract system is that which Is most gen.
orally in use, and it may be said to be
the typical American way Of dealing
with refuse collection and disposal.
The second is the municipal system
Towns having become dissatisfied with
the first method have established their
own collective systems and in most
cases have also erected their own dis
posal plants. 1t is true that the mu-
nicipal system has been burdened in
some cases with inefficient superin-
tendents or with employees who were
time servers without desire to give
faithful work and whose places were
obtained through political influence.
The great advantage to be gained by
the municipal system Is that the re-
sponsibility for good or bad service is
centered directly upon the heads Of
departments.
Each employee is held accountable
by the public for the faithful perform
ance of his work. When streets are
left dirty and garbage is not collected.
when ashes are not removed and waste
paper is blowing about the streets,
these facts show fer themselves aLd
sound louder than any complaint that
may be voiced through the newspa-
pers.
There is still another side to this
matter that is important and has to be
taken up. No prospective citizen who
sees the outskirts Of any community
ringed by garbage dumps, clouds Of iii
smelling smoke and flying paper from
which cover the surrounding country,
can be prepossessed in favor Of a
place that is Indifferent to such visible
nuisances. " r;
Civic associations and the women's
Improvement leagues can hardly find
better field for their. labors than the
abatement Of nuisances of this sort
Many Improvements have been made

ton service. Only q short time al
steel wagons replaced the old wooden
carts, and there is still more room for
Improvement. Garbage carts do not
add to the beauty OF any street. but
