Taft's Opportunity.

The New York Sun expresses it
like this:
There is only one issue at the
present time of sufficient magnitude
to take a president of the United
States away from his post of off,
cial duty to give oral instruction to
the population between the two
oceans. That is the supreme issue
forced into being by the progressive
disorganizers of government; the
issue with Socialism disguised, half
clothed or naked. Everywhere and
in both parties men of patriotism
and men of business are looking for
a leader with the discernment to
recognize this central fact of the Sit
uation and with courage enough to
face the people and tell them the
truth about it.
Has Mr.. Taft the discernment?
Has he the courage? II so, Oppor-
tunity never beckoned more eagerly
to the right man. If so, he will let
the complexities of the Sherman act
and the perplexities of tariff sche-
dulles go to Gehenna. and put him
self speedily and Enthusiastically at
the head of the conservative politi-
cal forces that are bound to prevail
if this Republic is going to endure"

BEHIND THE POLITICAL SCENES

Something struck Minnesota last
week all in a heap.
1t was Frank A. Day of Fairmont
Missoula and en- transit.
When Frank moves democracy is
agitated.
While here some weeks ago he
selected slate and the supposition
was that he knew what he was do
ing and that the slate would stand.
But that slate disintegrated like a
disappointed wave on rocky coast.
So Frank had to pick out an entirely
new one last week.
He did it without batting an eve.
He went out and found a new
candidate for governor. This time
it is Sam G. Anderson of Hutchinson,
county attorney and said to be some
shucks with his tongue. Outside
of that Sam G. is almost as we'll
known in Minnesota as the prime
minister of Iceland.
Still he's the man. says Warwick
Day, just exactly as he said it when
John A. Johnson was dragged out
of deep, dense obscurity.
He may be right but it's a cinch
he's over looking couple of bets.
There are some strong Democrats
in this state. but up to date Sam. G..
is not one Of them.
A. c. Weiss of the Duluth Herald
is certainly one of the strongest.
Mr.. Weiss has had the advantage Of
training in the Seventh district and
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1911-10-10

He took his way along the path OF
the park and came Unexpectedly
face to face with Schley.
There was cry of greeting and
they ran into each others arms and
tears coursed down the time worn
features of each.
Personal strife was forgotten.
They were bigger than factions.
they were two men who had fought,
who had dared death for the Elusive
spirit of patriotism. They had been
made brothers by the carnage of
strife.
So died Schley. So lives Dewey
and the nation is the richer for two
such men.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1911-10-10

Besides if the farmers got together
and organized themselves they might
accomplish something, might take
their proper place of Importance
and dominance in the life polite of
this state.
Still it is some satisfaction to know
that P. V. Collins, farmer. is not
getting away with his little scheme
for increasing his circulation.
There are several reasons for this.
One reason is that the large major
ity of agricultural papers are about
as helpful to a farmer as a jews
harp. Most of the editors of these
papers know rather less about farm
ing than a good healthy wood tick.
AS result not even P. V. is able
to impose upon the farmers for any
length of time.

REAR ADMIRAL SCHLEY DEAD.

Rear Admiral Schley is dead.
Does that mean anything to you?
Have you forgotten what he was
and did?
Yet it is only matter of twelve
years since Schley's name was in the
mouth of every one.
Then came calumny.
He lived it down. But he did not
live long enough to see his services
properly recognized.
Yet he was loved.
His East knew him, his Baltimore
loved him. There they saw back of
the accusations and struck hands
with the man.
Congress refused him the highest
rank in the navy. 1t did not en-
outer MIN.
His nation made light Of his work.
1t did not lessen his LOYALTY.
1t was of such stuff Schley was
nodded.
There is a pretty story told of
Schley and Admiral Dewey:
They were estranged by the Bit
terness and accusation Immediately
following the war.
Ten years had passed during which
time the fire Of war had cooled. the
bitterness Of personal friends had
abated. During that decade they
had not met alone.
In the grey of an early Washing
ton morning Dewey was out walking.

P.V. COLLINS, FARMER.

P. V. Collins, farmer. That's
right. He lives in Minneapolis, but
bless your soul, don't you know
that all real farmers have city resi-
dences?
Why should P. V. Collins, farmer,
be an exception? He isn't.
He's city farmer.
There are many kinds of farmers.
Some are good, some are bad, but
when it comes to farming P. V.
Collins is at the head of the class.
He knows things of which no ordinary
farmer like A. D. Stewart or Henry
Schmidt or the VIM Brothers or
Hicks or Douglas Allen or George
Whittet ever heard.
That's one reason why he heads
the list.
He is the only real friend the
farmers of Minnesota have. He's
the same kind Of friend Jim Hill is,
the same kind friend certain poll
ticians are.
If you, Mr.. Farmer. need friend
just run to P. V. Collins. He's right
there with the goods for the goods.
Once he gets hold of you P. V. Col
Inns won't let you get away from
him until he has properly organized
you and brought you into beautiful
subsection to his superior knowledge
of your work.
Organization is his strong hold.
He'll organize you whether you
want to be organized or not. That's
the kind of man he is. He can't
help it. He just has to go into the
organizing business to work off his
surplus steam.
And while he's organizing you he
doesn't want thing in return ex-
cept your name on his subscription
list.
Great philanthropist, P. v. Collins.
farmer.
Isn't at all satisfied to see you sit
back and organize yourselves. No,
sir, that's not his idea of how the
thing should be done.
In his opinion the farmers must
be organized by the city man. That
may seem like a queer idea to you
but you don't know. Just ask P. v.
Collins.
What do the farmers know about
Let P. v. do it, he's
an expert.

GOSSIP OF THE PRESS.

The first meeting Of the officers Of
the farmers league. formed at the
last state fair under the auspices of
Farmer P. V. Collins of Minneapolis,
was held in the office of Mr.. Collins,
secretary of the new organization,
last Monday. The work at hand was
preliminary to completing the organ
ization and resulted in the naming of
the executive committee consisting
of one man from each congressional
district. F. D. Currier of Nicollet
was named for the third district.
The attendance at this meeting was
limited, so is reported. to the presi-
dent. vice president, secretary and
treasurer of the league, all being
'city fellows" 1t would seem that
if the farmers expect any benefit for
themselves out of this organization
they should also be in charge Of its
management. The mere paying of
dues and listening to speeches pre-
pared by speculative agitators will
be Of little effect in the practical
workings of the league. Some of
those behind the move have a politi-
cal ak to grind and they want to use
the farmers to turn the grindstone.
st. Peter Free Press.
Too much reciprocity is likely to
prove hard problem to solve by
the political hackers of President
Taft. and his future in politics is
now feared for. The defeat of re-
ciprocity in Canada. the failure OF
his speeches to elicit hearty response
is most disappointing. People in
general were tired Of his reciprocity
ideas long ago, and now when speak
ing he talks about everything ex-
cept the one his audiences would
like to hear him speak upon.-The
Echo Enterprise.
Over in Canada, which is under
monarchical government. the people.
the common people, were given an
opportunity to say whether or no
they wanted reciprocity with the
United States, while here in free
America one big, fat man said it
must be so, and forced the Congress
to pass the pact. Ever think of
that?-Granite Falls Journal.
The people of Hibbing are getting
pretty much dissatisfied with the
brewery owned saloons in that city.
1t is simply another case of the
brewery interests running things
with high hand when they think
there will be no interference. But,
although Hibbing is mining town.
it has lot of honorable, square
minded people. and they are getting
just little tired of brewery methods
and propose to take some steps to
put kink in them. In Hibbing, as
in other places, the men who con-
duct the brewery owned saloons, are
compelled to pay to the brewery So
more per barrel than is asked by the
breweries from the Independent
saloon keeper, and it is strongly in
timated from pretty reliable sources
that this extra per barrel goes into

Meanwhile Knute Nelson is main
tanning his attitude of utter indiffer-
ence and profound silence. What's
the answer?
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1911-10-10

In electing men to the legislature
and other Offices who will not sup
port proposed laws that will in any
way curb the influence, or business
interests or business methods of the
breweries. The brewery owned
saloon should go, and we believe
that the charter under which the
breWeries are licensed to do business
in this state will not, if rigidly en-
forced. permit them to own or con-
troll the retail saloon in the range
towns, or in any other town. If the
law is not sufficient, then it should
be, one of the first duties of the
next legislature to enact one that
will be sufficient and binding Inter

On Thursday the Canadians turn

the United States by an overwhem-
ing majority of "a to 1873. Both Sir
Wilfred Laurier premier Of Canada
and leader of the liberals and Rob-
ert Laird Borden of the conserva-
tives put forth every effort TO gain
their point. but the liberals were
doomed to defeat and we are little
afraid our president is in the same
boat as Laurier is in. only he will

In looking oyer the leading Demo-
cratic newspapers of the country, it
is plainly seen that Woodrow Wilson
of New Jersey is easily the most
popular man for the nomination for
President. Look at Mr.. Wilson's
record as Governor of New Jersey.
He has kept the faith, he has ac-
complished the many reforms he
promised he would do; he is the most
formidable candidate that the Dem O.
cratic party could put forward
Olivia Times.
Since it is we'll known that Presi-
dent Taft's $4,000 mile tour of this
country is nothing but campaign
trip in behalf of his candidacy for
reelection, it is surmised that his
reception throughout this country
will be that Of a political candidate.
rather than dignlfied presidential
one, says the Red Wing Free Press.
At any rate it is not likely to be as
hearty as might be desired on his
part. AS president, Mr.. Taft has
not endeared himself very much to
the people of this country. His Off
cial acts have nearly all been in the
interest of plutocracy and the big
interests. And as the head of the
republican party, which he repre-
sents he has been a total failure hav-
ing caused dissensions which
threaten the party with defeat at
the next general election. With all
due respect for the high office Mr..
Taft occupies it may be said that he
might as well cut out his tour as far
as insuring his reelection is concern

Editor Weiss has built up one Of
the biggest concerns in the state and
occupies today unique position in
the newspaper business not only of
this state but of many adjoining
states. His influence is great and
there are good many who contend
that it reaches over into the Repub.
lican camp.
Judge C. w. Stanton of Bem;dii
is a Democrat whom Frank Day
seems to be persistently overlooking
There is none bigger in the state.
He is capable, eloquent, a splendid
mixer and a thoroughly reliable
man. The fact that he has a good
place should not stand in the way in
case Democracy is looking for real
leader and not make shift.
There is another Democrat as well
known today as the best of them,
Joseph R. Keefe.
AS the author of the Keefe bill his
name is known throughout the
length and breadth of the state. His
record in the House last winter
shines out as the one real bright star
in that night of confusion and dis
organization. When it comes to
mixing Joe is as good as the best of
them and there are those who con-
tend he equals John A. johnson.
Democracy could do much worse
than select this Redwood man as the
leader of her forces next fall. His
public and private records are above
reproach and in addition to his
charming personality he is marked
by clear headedness and straight
toward dealings.
What has Sam G. Anderson to
offer as an offset to these character
istics?
Mrs. Leonard A. Rosing is being
pestered by little, pulled up en-
ployment office official. So far as
this man Hugh Jennings is concern
ed little is known of him and less
would be acceptable.
Mrs. Rosing is one of the most
highly accomplished, delightful and
able ladies in the state. She is the
widow Of the biggest Democrat of
them all in many respects, Leonard
A. Rosing. The work she has done
for the state during the past two
years has been of a high character
and her efficiency has been matter
of gossip.
That any attack should be made
upon her or any attempt made to
remove her is blemish upon the
administration. She must not be
removed and if the designs Of Jen-
nings are carried into execution
Governor Eberhart will haye diff
Guilty in explaining the act.
At large, and by the state conven-
ton, says the law dealing with the

tive or representatives to be elected

Someway Dan LAWYER does not
appear to be getting along very fast
with his senatorial candidacy.
In a moment of thoughtlessness
Frank Day selected A. C. Weiss as
the right man to head the Demo-
cratic opposition to the Republican
candidate. Evidently he forgot
Dan and his ambition.
Mr.. Lawler has given it out that
he is to make a speaking campaign
and if that is the case Redwood
Falls will naturally expect to hear
him. When it does 1t will hear
some eloquence though the fire of
youth has gone out of him. Dan
