AWAKENED PUBLIC CONSCIENCE

There is no doubt about It. Men in
public as well as private life have de
termined to put stop to graft and
corruption IN public and private af-
fairs The recent expulsion OF Lori
mer from the United States Senate
and Catlin OF Missouri from the lower
house because their election had been
been secured by corruption funds
shows the trend of public conscience.
The murder Of noted gambler in
New York, soon after he had reported
corrupt practices in police affairs Of

the agencies of corruption have TAX

cities as well as in the nation and
unless there is a change the country
will soon becomea mass OF fetled

science is aroused and that the over

Z
The Parcels Post !, bill has finally
been agreed upon after lengthy dis
pute in the senate. The country has
been divided into eight zones, with
rates Of postage as follows: Z; H..
LIST Zone-Length fifty miles; rate
five cents for the first pound, and three
cents for each additional pound.
End Zone-Length $50 miles; rate
six and four cents.
3rd Zone-Length 800 miles; rate
seven and five cents.
4th Zone-Length 600 miles; rate,
eight and six cents.
9Th Zone-Length 1000 miles; rate,
nine and eight cents.
9Th Zone-Length J, 400 miles; ratio
ten and nine cents.
9TH Zone-Length 1900 miles; rate
twelve cents straight.
8th Zone-Length over 1900 miles;
rate, twelve cents per pound straight.
Maximum package eleven pounds.
Senator Bourne originally proposed
six zones, to range in length from fifty
to two thousand miles. The idea Of
shortening the zones is so that it will
be greater benefit to the small NOR
chant. AS completed by the senate, COM
mittee, the bill carries about $780,, 000,-
! 600, or an increase of about $4,000, 900
over the house provision.

c. NJ. King of Deer River has filed
for the office Of lieutenant governor on
the democratic ticket. Mr.. King is one
Of the numerous group Of men, who like
Lind and Day, left the republican party
in 1896 to support Bryan, and has
been ever since staunch believer in
democratic democracy. He knows north
ern Minnesota well, is president Of
the development association, and has
probably, next to Senator Elwell, done
more for the good roads movement than
any man in the state. His thorough
knowledge of the needs Of northern
and central Minnesota, will commend
him to the people Of this part of the
state. Mr.. King would be a. fair and
impartial lieutenant governor. He
has ability and knowledge as we'll as
tact and would be able to help settle
the vexed matter of reapportionment
with little friction. Mr.. King should
have no opposition in the primaries
and will be Of great strength to the
state ticket.

The Time Taft Brought His Fist Down
on the Table and Said He Would
ssSh0W Them''

Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin,
writing his Autobiography in the July
American Maya line, reportAsome inter
views he had with President Taft when
the famous Payne-Aldrich Tariff Bill of
1909 was under consideration. Follow.
ing is an extract:
"When the tariff bill passed the
House, therefore, after being bitterly
opposed by the House insurgents as the
thoroughly bad measure that it was, I
felt at liberty to call upon the presi-
dent and talk with him about it. I
still had hope that he would keep faith
with the people. He agreed with me
on that occasion, that the bill was not
compliance with platform pledges,
and he said distinctly that unless it
were thoroughly overhauled he would
veto it. I suggested to the president
that it was plainly his duty now ia
transmit a message to congress making
it clear that the house bill was in
violation Of the pledges Of the party
and against the public interests:
Well, he said, Il don It much be-
lieve in presidents interfering with
the legislative department while it is
doing its work. They have their re.
sponsibility and I have mine. And if
they send that bill to me, and it ism 7
a better bill than it is now I will veto
it,
~ suggested that if he remained
silent he would never find himself able
after the record was made up, to turn
about and fall upon Congress with a
veto. His answer came quick and
sEeng:
"fYou and your associates in the
senate go ahead, criticise the bill
amend it, cut down the duties-go after
it hard. will keep track of your
amendments. I will read every word
Of the speeches you make, and when
they lay that bill down bfore me, unless
it complies with the platform, I will
veto it.
"And he brought his fist down on
the desk with thump to emphasize
the frmness Of his purpose.
Very WE'LL I said, fMr. Presi
dent, but predict that when it passes
the senate it will be far worse
measure than it is now
WELL he restored, Il will show
you.'

How about your subscription?

Fairmont Independent: On July LIST
it was one year since the railroad com.
panies took advantage Of Judge San
born g decision and restored the old g.
cent rate, in place Of the 2-cent rate
which was in force the year previous.
During the year ending July LIST,
1912, it is reported that the earnings
Of the Milwaukee road in Minnesota
were $1,678,85 less than the previous
year.
The decrease is practically entirely
p! due to the falling off in travel.
Nearly all the roads operating in
this state have experienced a similar
| decrease in receipts.
The operating expenses have been
nearly the same, only perhaps less pass
| enger coaches have been needed for
| each train.
Judge Sanborn said the 2-cent rate
was confscatory. IF his contention was
| true how can the railroads manage to
| make both ends meet, when the restora.
ton of the Scent rate shut off travel
to such great extent and thereby re-
duced their revenues, without materilly
reducing their operationg 'expensess
It looks as though the railroads made
a mistake in getting the restoration Of
the Scent rate and giving the portion
of the public which can afford to put
| up for 1000 mile book, the old "con.
fiscatory rate.'' Why not treat the
public all alike and enjoy an increasing
business9 The old saying is that "you
| can lead horse to water, but you
can t make him drink So you can
| charge the public cents mile for
travel, but you can't make the people

goose that lays the golden egg.

RNaDAL FOR GOVERNOR

Duluth Herald: Responding to q
long continued demand from all sec
tions, P. M. Ringhal yesterday an
nounced that he would become q can
didate for the democratic nomination
for governor. ~.
This is good news. The democratic
party should have governorship can
didate whose character and calibre
are in keeping with the splendid
presidential nomination, and Mr..
Ringdal's candidacy gives it an op-
portunity to choose such q candidate.
Mr.. Ringdal is no stranger to state
affairs. In fact his experience, to-
gether with his own native capacity,
Qualities his peculiarly for the place
he seeks. AS state senator, as a
member Of the board Of railroad and
warehouse commissioners and as a
member Of the state board Of control
he has had opportunities such = as
come to few men to familiarize him.
self with the states affairs and the
states needs. Moreover, he is q
Northern Minnesota man who knows
the peculiar needs Of this partially
developed part Of the state. .
The candidate is able intellectually
is forceful and aggressive. He is q
man to be respected and to be be-
lieved in. The destinies Of the state
would be perfectly safe in his hands
and his selection would assure q con
| structively progressive :administra
ton, free from extravaganza anG
from the dictation Of special inter
ests of any kind. He would give his
time, energy and brains to the up
building Of the commonwealth.
The democrats cannot do better
! than to nominate him. There is OK
ceedingly small probability that the
state will have a chance to do better
than to elect him.

J. F. jacobson, in his speech as chair
man Of the Roosevelt gathering at St.
Paul this week, said that when in the
legislature he never listened to en-
emies, meaning in this case democrats
and populists, and using this as an
argument against supporting Wilson.
When Jacobson was in the legislature
he was always glad to get and often
needed, the votes Of democrats and
populists to put through his measures.
Yet as soon as the legislative sessions
were over, he would begin attacking
those who had come to his help when
his own party failed him, which was
frequently. With all his good qualities.
which are many, jacobson is also one
Of the most narrow minded partisans
in the state. He has gone quite ways
in favoring third electoral ticket. In
deed, the developments at and after
the Chicago convention left him no al.

THE "NoN-PARTIs-
JUDICIARY


Mortified News: I warned the read
ers of The News Of the sinister motives
behind the activity Of the Thompson
papers for a non-partisan judiciary
when they first began their campaign.
They are more than ever apparent now
that judges are actually to be nominal
ed on non-partisan ballot. The Thomp-
son papers now insist on making
party matter of it and seek to prevent
Judge Hallam s. fling because he is 9
republican. So far as I have heard
there is nothing else alleged against
Judge Hallam except his political at
Aiations. He is an eminent lawyer:
He has been an upright judge. II
parties are not to be recognized, why
then should he be denied the right to
seek to attain an eminence which is
the natural object of the ambition of
members of the BARI The reason Of this
is plain enough. It is that he chooses
to enter the lists against Judge Bum,
and Judge Bum is the one candidate
! favored by the interests. It was thought
their influence that this appointment
was secured in the first place. The
| only decision Of importance he has rem
dered since he was elevated to the
bench, that in the oleobargine case, is
| one that further recommends him to
their favor. Naturally they have con-
cluded that the services of so valuable
a man would not be lost to the state.

WHAT THE BANNER THINKS OF
ANTI-TAFT CANDIDATES

R0yalt0n Banner: The man, any
man, who will seek republican support
this fall at the primaries or election,
and refuse to support President Taft
is no more or less than a plain thief.
The presidential nominee and his plat
form represent the head of the party
which places him in the field and en-.
dorses his platform, and men who can
not agree with the choice Of the party
should take themselves to other fields
where they will find more agreeable
companionship. The candidate Tor gov
ernor, congress or other minor office is
too small to attempt to read the head
Of the party out of existance.
It is hard to reconcile some of our
much touted reformers with their pro-
grams Of vote-getting which makes
them cling to the name republican,
while repudiating the man who stands
for the highest that the party name i'm
plies. The republican Of 1912 believes
in William H. Taft and all that his
platform declares. Those who cannot
support Mr.. Taft are not republicans.
They must sail under other colors OF
be branded as traitors to the party
which votes, and which they dare not
endorse because an endorsement will
place them upon record for opponents,
who have been faithful, and their cam.
paign argument will be lost.
We want more than all else in pub.
lie office, men who are honest and
sincere. Beware Of the man who clings
to the party merely because he can land
votes thereby. He will cling to any 9TH
er corporate body later for the good
he can get for himself; he is not clean
breasted and does not fight in the open.

St. Cloud Journal Press: Bro. George
Thompson Of the St. Paul Dispatch and
Pioneer Press, is making a personal
fight against Judge Oscar Hallam of
st. Paul, who may be candidate for
supreme court justice on the non-par-
tisan primary ticket. Judge Hallam is
well qualified for the position he seeks,
being an honorable man, a successful
attorney and an able judge. While the
people generally are well satisfied with
the present personnel of the supreme
court, and will probably re-elect those
whose terms expire, Judge Hallam or
any other qualified man has a perfect
right to be candidate, and is entitled
to respectful consideration. Bro. Thomp-
son should be moderate, or he may be
accused of trying to create an office
holding aristocracy, and then there will
be trouble.
