DOES TAFT REALLY WIN?

solution admitting to statehood
the territories Of New Mexico and
Arizona. This time Arizona will
be required to eliminate the clause
in it's constitution providing for
the recall Of judges. The news
papers sympathetic with Presi-
dent Taft declare this to be a
victory for him.
Yes, is not only a temporary
victory for Taft, and all that Taft
stands for, but it is a repulse to
popular government involving the
right Of the people Of Arizona to
decided for themselves what kind
OF Judicial system they want. ,
Mr.. Taft does not believe in
the right Of the people to decide
any question contrary to the
wishes Of vested interests. Of
course he did not express such a
view plainly, but he said the same
thing in diplomatic language in
those parts Of his message where
he attempted any argument at ALL.
He has still the same contempt
for the rights Of ordinary people
and the same generation for spec
ial privilege that he displayed
when on the bench in deciding
labor cases and in the Philippines
when exercising his despotic
power as governor.
lie had much to say of the dan
ger of unjust decisions from a
judge DESTROYS Of pleasing a pop
ular majority. He clearly is un-
able to conceive Of any other mo-
tive for an unjust decision than
fear of the people. He deliberately
ignored the fact that the same
judge who will decide unjustly
for fear Of a popular majority
can be influenced just as easily if
not more so by other causes to
render unjust decisions when all
cause to fear the majority has
been removed.
A judge who will decide unjust
ly in order that he may continue
to draw an official salary, is the
very kind that needs the threat
OF recall hanging over him, for he
IS necessarily the kind of judge
that is susceptible to bribery. A
man who will sell his convictions
for a salary. will surely not hest
tate to sell them for corporation
brides. A man whom the recall
can intimidate can be intimidated
by powerful private interests. If
we must have moral towards on
the bench, is it not better that fear
of the people rather than fear Of
private interests influence them ?
1t judges must be influenced by
financial consideration, is it not
better that the consideration be
the salaries due them rather than
brides?
He also expressed the fear that
a just judge may be recalled.
Since a popular majority is not in
fallible, that is possible, of course.
That is no more than what occurs
to many worthy men in private
employment. Even the most in
telllgent business man will some
times nnjustly discharge a con-
sclentious and faithful employee
while laboring under some misap-
prehenslon. It does not follow
from this that it is therefore in
advisable to allow private en-
ployers to discharge employees
when it seems best to them to do
so.
In spite of all mistakes general
results are far better because
they have that power than would

GOVERNOR EBERHART'S
CHILDISH ACTIONS

The office of Governor of the
great commonwealth of Mime
sofa is one which we all regard
with becoming respect; and here
tofore, it has been the good for
tune Of our people, to have the
position filled by men who meas
urea up to that high standard Of
manhood and distinction, which
should characterize an individual
invested with supreme executive
authority in the state.
When the incumbent of so ex-
allied a position resorts to child
ish, effeE1;nate, vain glorious, or
egotistical tactics, in administer
ing the duties or affairs of the Of
ffce, all the people regardless of
party affiliation, experience a
feeling Of profound regret at be-
ing forced to the conviction that
although the office honors the
man, the man is not honoring
the office with that scrupulous
regard to courtesy and pro-
priety it's incumbency demands.
Under our system Of govern
ment, no citizen, howsoever ex-
aEed an opinion he may enter
tain Of himself, or what official
trust may have been reposed in
him by the people, can be regard
Ell as immune from those respon-
sibilities that appertain to the en-
joyment Of citizenship, and among
these is a cheerful obedience to
the authoritative mandates of
courts, or other bodies lawfully
exercising judicial or quasi judic-
ial functions, and this is more
especially true when the mandate
is a mere subpoena, in the usual
form, requesting his appearance
as witness before an Investigate
ing Board practically convened
by himself, and to give evidence
touching certain matters about
which he had Heretofore pretend
ed to be wonderfully well-in-
formed.
We have reference to the vul-
carly pretentious attitude, as
assumed by Governor Eberhart
and his executive clerk, towards
the subpoena issued by the State
Board of Control, summoning the
Governor to appear as a witness
in the Red Wing investigation.
The Pioneer Press states that the
concluding words Of the subpoena
and they were in the usual
form" burned him up like w.t.
riol," and that the effect of the
subpoena upon the governor
"was more potent than red flag
before a BULL
It is to be regretted that the
episode was given so much pub
lcity by good Republican papers,
for it will not serve to raise our
executive in the estimation of the
people of other states. So far as
Minnesotians are concerned, the
weakness and imbecility evil
denced by the incident do not
convey any new revelation to
them.
The Board of-Control which is
sued the subpoena is composed of
two Democrats and one Republi-
can, and it is currently reported
that his excellency will have his
revenge by going after the scalps
OF the two Democrats. Both are
recognized by men of all parties
as able, honorable and efficient

MALIGNING THE DEAD.

AOuSA 4OA1 IL. OOuuSOu IL
dead, plutocracy still considers
him dangerous. It has good
cause for this Of course, for the
work in which he was engaged
still goes on. The cause for
which he sacrificed his health, his
fortune and his life, is progress
ing none the less even though the
encouragement and pleasure Of
his physical presence is denied the
workers. It was only a few weeks
after his death that his nine years
fight against the predatory power
of the street railway monopolies
of Cleveland bore it's latest fruit
in the granting Of universal trans
fers with three-cent fares. This
is a menace to traction mono
poles in every city where high
transportation prices still prevail.
A posthumous account by John
son Of his struggle with the forces
Of privilege is now appearing in
Hampton's Magazine. This lays
bare not only many Of the me-
thods of predatory interests but
shows how courts, legislators and
other public officials aided and
abetted all Of their schemes.
1t is consequently no wonder
that the interests still feel as bit
terly against him as when he was
alive. Their newspaper organs
still consider it advisable to cir
culate venemous ibels concerning
him. Thus the New York Times,
the Boston Transcript, and SIM
liar kept" publications are
boosting a book by one Carl
Loren mendaciously called a
Typography Of Tom L. johnson. :"
The author has woven some very
malicious as well as untrue state
ments into his work. They are
mainly such statements as were
made use of during the traction
fight in Cleveland by the news
papers and other paid agents Of
the traction interests. Whether
Mr.. Loren has innocently accepted
these statements as facts or
whether he is knowingly guilty of
libelling the dead is immaterial.
He has furnished an opportunity
for journalistic henchmen of pre-
datory interests to please their
masters by using the means at
their command to recommend his
fictitious biography as true
story Of the life of Tom L. John
son.
Those interested in learning the
true story Of johnson public
career will have an opportunity
when the account Of his struggle
with privilege will appear in
book form. This will not be long
delayed. Perhaps it was to FORE
stall this true account that Lo-
renz's work was hurried through
the press and so little care taken
in correcting it that some very
glaring errors were overlooked.

REFLECTIONS ON
I.ABoR'S HOLIDAY

IdlllDeF Cne dlOSCS or ORGANIZED
labor will once again doof their
hats to that. one day Of all the
three hundred and sixty-five de-
Dictated to the toilers-Labor Day.
1t is quite meet that at this
time attention be called to the
fact that much has transpired
during the past year which
should call forth every man who
holds affiliation with organized
labor, in the grandest and larg-
est Labor Day parade ever wit
messed in this city. 49,
One of the most momentous
things which is now numbered
with the past has: to do with
the decision of the United States
supreme court, whereby it an
nulled the prison sentences in
flicted by puereile judge of the
District Of Columbia. President
Gompers, Vice President Mitchell
and SECRETARY Morrison were I'M
der a prison sentence for daring
to ENGAGE in free speech. A
muzzle was prepared by this
judge, but organized labor re-
fused to wear it.
In the establishment of this
principle, every one Of the mil
lions Of people are the gamer. It
may not have been all that was
desired. Still it means much to
labor.
Another case which has far
reaching effect is that Of the
United Hatters of America. In
the decision Of a lower court,
hundreds of men and women were
to be deprived of their homes
and all their earthly possessions,
just because judge saw fit to
set himself up as the supreme
keeper Of the aristocracy.
Above all these, comes the mat.
ter which deals with the kidnap-
ping of the two Mcnamara boys,
upon the charge Of dynamiting
the Los Angeles Times. .
The law is supposed to hold
every man innocent until proven
guilty.
But with the dastardly kid
mapping Of Secretary Mcnamara
from his headquarters in Indian
apolis, and his being spirited to
California without an opportun-
ity to exercise the rights granted
to any and every citizen, the time
is ri pc to show all the world by
act and deed, that the law abid-
ing toilers of this broad land do
not approve Of thug methods by
those temporarily placed in Of
ficial or judicial positions.
With the advent of Labor Day
this year, it should be the duty
of every union to turn out it's
full quota Of members in the larg-
est parade ever recorded in the
labor movement in the city of
Duluth.
Surely it is not unreasonable
for men to devote an hour or
two to show the enemies of the
organized labor movement, that
as they fight the year around,
so, too, on Labor Day, they
march shoulder to shoulder, head
erect and jaws set in that fash
ion which betokens determine
ton to win better conditions for
generations as yet unborn.
Let everyone who believes that
the souls of men come prior to
and before dollars, arouse to the
full import and meaning of this
one day given over to labor.

HICKS AT COLLEGE"
BY LOCAL TALENT

The Baraca and Philathea Clubs will
present clicks at College" next Tues
day evening, March Il. Both clubs are
agreed that this is the best play they
have ever attempted. Hicks, the
breakfast man, appears at college
on the hunt of an 'ad" man. Tom
Horton, the college leader in all
affairs, is just the man for him, but
Horton, although in dire straits fnan-
ciaIly, refuses to leave school and is
aided in his refusal by everyone about
the college and town. Hicks in his
desperation to force Horton to leave
college and go with him, resorts to the
EXTREMIST measures, including black
mail and love. Finally all is hinged
upon the outcome of the champion bas-
ketball game of the season, which is
played between the second and third
acts. Every act of the whole play is
good and wholesome, chuck full of fun
and laughter and had the run Of a
whole season in New York. The rem
dltion given by the Baracas and Phila-
theas will be that used by the Univer-
slty of Wisconsin when the play was
presented there.
The between acts are all especially
good an Indian club drill by the Phil
atheas, special music by the orchestra,
and quartette consisting of MIR. and
Mrs. c. II. Henney, Mrs. p. S. David
son, and Mr.. Geo. k. Wilbur. Tickets
will be on sale at Clarke's the latter
| part of the week.

Suicide by Swallowing Gold.

Suicide by swallowing gold is some
times accomplished in China. The
following is az authoritative account,
written by very learned Chinese for
the Westminster Gazette. of how this
much contested form of suicide is ac-
complished
In swallowing gold it is not loose
gold leaf or gold dust that is swal.
lowed, but solid lump of gold, or
even gold ring, weighing about half
an ounce. Gold is not at any time
Of corrupting nature, but when a
lump Of 1t is swallowed and gets into
the bowel 1t fails, on account of its
intrinsic weight, to rise and surmount
the convolutions Of the bowels and
can therefore never complete its pas
sage. After two or three days it there
fore sinks through the bowel and de-
stroys life without any suffering"

Lord Rrouaham's OratorY.

We have no orator in the least like
Lord Brougham since the close of
Brougham's public career. Everything
that nature could do so far as appear
ance, manner and voice were concern
ed she had done to prevent him from
being a great orator, and yet a great
orator he undoubtedly was. | wonder
what the house Of lords just now
would think of peer who gestlcu-
lated and beloved as Brougham was
In the habit Of doing. But 1t was i'm
possible to listen to Brougham and
not be carried away by the force Of
his intellect, by his torrent Of words,
by the sudden whirl and eddy Of his
rapid illustrations and by the longer
and shorter stretches Of Quletude and
repose into which his argument occa-
slonally flowed. From Justin McCar-

Assault With Dangerous

Austin Gentry had preliminary

assault with a dangerous weapon.
On Friday Gentry got into an al-

saloon Of McAtee & Aiken, and
drew a gun. McAtee graDpled
with him, and the gun was knocked
from gentry's hand onto the floor.
There was a mixup, and the result
was that Gentry was foored by
Arthur McAtee with a jab on the
jaw and the row ended without
any very serious damage. In the
hearing Monday, Gentry was
bound over to appear before the
grand jury, his bond being fixed at
which he furnished. The
row seems to have originated over
some betting on the horseraces out
at Hardman, SO the report goes,
Gentry claiming that be had been
jobbed by McAtee.

Spencer Akers and family visit
ed for a week with the family of
N. r. McVay, at Goldendale,
Washington, returning home last
Saturday evening. MIR. McVay
was formerly engaged in farming
in the Gooseberry section of Nor
row county and went to the
Goldendale country several years
ago, and he is now nicely located
on a small wheat farm and is do
ing we'll. He is a brother.in-law
of Mr.. Akers. Spencer saw much
good grain in the Klickitat country
and many fields will yield forty
bushels to the acre, if not better.
Most of the farmers over that way
are on small farms and put in lots
of work on their crops, and they
find it pays much better than to
try to do wheatraisipg on a large
scale. Mr.. Akers returns much in
love with that section.
