He Was Intensely Democratic.
Mark Twain was intensely demo-
cratic. He was easily approachable,
and he never emitted any bears growl
or lions roar. Even the humblest per-
son was made to feel at ease In his
presence. Shrinking reporters sent to
interview him quit their shrinking and
puffed up when they found him as

When Bryan was in India he spoke
for the people of that vast country,
and spoke. as always, in defense OF
human liberty. The speech made him
popular with the people, but very
unpopular With the British rulers of
India, and they said he was ignorant
of conditions. In Egypt. Roosevelt
spoke IN defense of the rulers of the
LAND, and urged the people to be con-
tent with their. lot and not to agitate
for more liberty. This speech dis
pleased the people, but pleased the
rulers, who eaid Roosevelt was a we'll
informed man. There is a contrast
IN this which need make no admirer
of Bryan ashamed, and there is also
revealed in the contrast one of the
inconsistencies and peculiaritles of
Roosevelt which give his friends pain.

When congress gets through with
the interior department, 1t will probab-

departments, especially the attorney
generals. In 1902 congress prescribed
that no person could buy over forty
acres of public land in the Philippines,
the purpose being to prevent exploita-
ton. Through some jugglery, and
despite the law, the sugar trust has
acquired 40. 600 acres in one tract,

The pioneers of the awakening to
better things in this country, the
agltators who IN spite of detraction
and calumny worked for the political
and industrial regeneration of the
United States, whose statements
scorned at, were later acknowledged
to be true-the Weavers. the Altgelds,
the organs. the Donnellys, the
Georges, the men who saw the truth,
and seeing, dared to proclaim it-these
men are not getting much credit these
days, that is, not as much as they
deserve. The Roosevelt idol wor-
shippers have no room in their con-
seriousness for anybody else, living or
dead. And Roosevelt admits that he
did it, which of course settles the
matter. ! But 1t is not new in history
to find the sewers of the seed forgotten
when the fruit is ripe. And. as most
Of the prophets of regeneration were
philosophers, they probably get much
amusement from the situation. One
can imagine Donnelly, for instance,
seated in choice corner of the
celestial abode. among the wise of
many ages, and with that rare and
pungent wit now so sorely missed,
illuminating the situation for the
benefit Of the sages who never had the
honor and glory of living in America.
We hope that Donnelly's views on
conditions In this county now are
being recorded on some heavenly
photograph, so that when the best of
us ultimately get there, we too can
smile as the angels must be smiling
now.

The st. Cloud Times thinks it is
''hardly wise and discreet for the
Herald to take part in other county
political functions. The Herald has
not done this, and has no intention
of so doing. The Times, however.
and some of its followers, have often
done that very thing, presumably.
from their standpoint, from good
motives. There was time when a
few Stearns county politici a s
dominated the counties around them.
That time, we believe, has passed
away. In it's humble way, the Herald
has helped to smash that system. The
democrats of this county never did
take kindly to 1t, and feel less so now
than ever. The democrats of Morrison
would like to cooperate with their
brethren In Stearns, but 1t must be on
a fair and equal basis. We are always
glad to see good democrats win IN old
Stearns. and we recognize the Times
as pillar of democratic strength. SO
far as the statement made about the
Herald's friends being able to pull
through IN this county, the record
speaks for itself. With a vigilant
and resourceful foe, with the county
about evenly divided in political
strength, without a 5000 majority at
it's back, the democracy of this county,
in the judgment of friend and foe,
has done pretty well. But we have
no desire to enter into a controversy
with the Times. We agree with it
on too many things, and we trust 1t
will use it's great and deserved
influence to crush out factionalism
in Stearns county democracy, promote
unity and insure victory.
