Thus the story is told in the let
ters, and when oae looks upon the
face of the dead man, as he lies en-
balmed in the Mayhew undertaking
parlor, awaiting interment until some
thing definite can be learned about
him, a wave of pity FOR the pathos
perhaps the tragedy, in this drifting
life, sweeps over one. He is a
heavy. mighty chested man, appear
ing TO be about middle age. HIS tea-
lures and form are distinctly German,
and studying the face, with its hue
head and short neck one becomes
convinced that the mans lineage
must be not ordinary. There are
evidences In the wide forehead, the
nobly arched eyebrows and around
the closed eyes that speak eloquent
ly Of n royal ancestry.

Out Front And Tells
Where He's At
GREAT CONFIDENCE IN PEOPLE
Advanced. But Not SociaIistic.
Is How Teddy Defines
Position
GREAT CONFIDENCE IN PEOPLE

Just husks is the way Theodore
Roosevelt defines the old parties.
You may have thought that the
Democratic party with Woodrow
Wilson at its head was some shucks.
A goodly apple rotten at the core is
about what Teddy thinks of it.
He told the members of the Bull
Moose party his public and private
convictions in speech made at
Chicago last week. Among other
things he said:
The old parties are husks, with
no real soul within either, divided on
artificial lines, boss-ridden and priv
ilege controlled, each a tumble of In
congruous elements, and neither
daring to speak out wisely or fear
lessly what should be said on the vi
tai issues of the day."
Passing on in his exuberant deal.
ing of compliments he said:
Neither the Republican nor
Democratic platforms or managers
show any adequate recognition of
the mighty fact that we are now
in the midst of great economic
evolution" This irresistible move
ment for economic change and i'm
provement must be guided by both
common sense and the highest ethi-
cal standards" in order to prevent
reasonable evolution from becoming
dangerous revolution. The Demo
cratic party, as is indicated by its
present record in Congress, lacks
the common sense; the Republican
party by its record of stolen dele.
gates lat the Chicago convention,
lacks the ethical standards.

most prominent men of the south
western part of the state and reside
in Redwood, Brown, and Renville
counties. Five of the promoters
were here this week making thepre-
liminary arrangements. They were:
Jos. Keefe, of North Redwood; B.
C. Schueller, who will movehere and
take charged Lthe business of Red
wood Falls; Thos. Arnett, of Red
wood Falls; Chas. Hermann, of Fair
fax; and j. C. Jackson, Of Morgan.
Messrs. Arnett and Schueller were
through here about two weeks agoin
an automobile. Their report of the
prospects were such that their asso-
ciates became interested and joined
with them in the organization of the
company. Mr.. Keefe is at present
a member of the legislature from
Redwood county and gained consid-
cradle prominence in the last session
by introducing and passing the So
called Keefe bill providing for the
nomination Of United States sena-
tors by vote of the people at the
primary election. Mr.. Schueller,
who will be the resident manager of
the company, has for the past ten
years been sheriff of Redwood county.
Mr.. Jackson is president of the
Farmers and Merchants State Bank
at Morgan. Others who are inter-
ested in the company are Frank Muir
ray, of Bird Island. state senator,
and Albert Pfaender. of New Ulm,
a member of the lower house of the
legislature.
The incorporators are all men of
prominence and wealth and their
coming to Mahnomen county at this
time means large influx of settlers
from that very prosperous section of
the state. The men who were here
have had much experien &c in the
land business and are very enthus-
iastic as to the future of this coun-
try. The Mahnomen Pioneer.

and Mr.. Parker, Mr.. Barnes and
Mr.. Murphy Mr.. Penrose and Mr..
Taggart, Mr.. Guggenheim and Mr..
Sullivan-differ from one another,
of course, on certain points, but
these are differences which one cor
poration lawyer has with another
corportion lawyer when acting for
different corporations. They come
together at once against a common
enemy when the dominion of both is
threatened by the supremacy of the
people of the United States. J.
If this country is really to go for
wardin a path of social and economic
justice, there must be new party
of nationwide and non sectional
principles, party where the titular
national chiefs and the real state
leaders shall be in genuine accord. a
party in whose counsels the people
shall be supreme, a party that
shall represent in the nation and
the several states alike the same
cause. the cause of human rights
and governmental efficiency"
The reassertion of states rights
doctrine of the Democratic party,
Mr.. Roosevelt says. cripples and
forecloses any real or genuine relief
to the people. 1t reduces their
promises to hopeless and empty
phrases. The mission and spirit of
this Progressive movement will
thrill the republic from end to end.
The Right of the People to Rule
The first essential in the Pro-
gressiye program is the right of the
people to rule. But few months
ago our opponents were assuring us
with insincere clamor that it was abb
surd for us to talk about desiring
that the people should rule, because,
as matter OF fact, the people ac-
tually do rule.
The actions of the Chicago con-
vention, and to an only less degree
of the Baltimore convention, have
shown in a striking fashion how
little the people do rule under our
present conditions" Mr.. Roosevelt
urged the adoption of presidential
primaries, popular election of sena-
tors, the short ballot, an efficient
corrupt practices act. qualified use
OF the initiative referendum and re-
call. The recall should be applied
to administrative officers. Mr..
Roosevelt asserts that the adoption
Of these new methods of political adj
ministration is not antagonistic to
representative government.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1912-08-20
Il do not mean that we should a.

L do not mean that we should a.
bandon representative government;
on the contrary, | mean that we
shall devise methods by which our
government shall become really re-
preventative. To use such measures
as the initiative. Referendum, and
recall Unfortunately and promis-
cuously on all kinds Of occasions
would undoubtedly causd disaster;
but events have shown that at pre-
sent our institutions are not repre-
sentative at any rate in many stat
es. And sometimes in the nation
and that we cannot wisely afford to
let this condition of things remain
longer uncorrected. We have per-
mitted the growing up of a breed of
politicians who, sometimes for i'm
proper political purposes, sometimes
as means Of serving the great spe-
cial interests or privilege whichst
behind them, twist socalled repre-
sentative institutions into a means
of thwarting instead of expressing
the deliberate and well-thought out
judgmentof the people as a whole.
This cannot be permitted. Wechoose
our representative for two purpose
In the first place. we choose them
with the desire that, as experts, they
shallstudy certain matters with which
we. the people as a whole, cannot be
intimately acquainted, and that asre-
CARDS these matters they shall formu-
latea policy for our betterment. Even
as regards such policy, and the ac-
tons taken hereunder, we ourselves
should have the right ultimately to
voteour disapproval. But, in the next
place, our representatives are chooen
to carry out certain policies as to
which we have definitely made up our
minds. and here we expect them to
represent us by doing what we have
decided ought to be done.
All | desire to do by securing more
direct control of the governmental
agents and representatives of thepeo-
pie is to give the people the chance to
make their representative really rep
resent them whenever the govern
ment becomes misrepresentation IN
stead of representative. / have not
come to this way of thinking from
closet study or as mere matter Of
theory; have been forced to it by
long experience with the actual
conditions of our political life"
