Q ia semisocialistic nature, she has
evidently learned a great deal about
the methods and activities in the low

is an extremely welathy woman and
for many years she did not pay much
attention to her household accounts.
But eventually her eyes were opened
and upon investigation she found that
her cooks had been grating in the
most outrageous manner and had
made quite nice little fortune out Of
the commissions which they obtained
from the dealers who supplied meat,
vegetables, groceries, etc, for the Bel
mont establishments in New York and
elsewhere. Cook after cook was dis
charged for grating. but the new
cooks followed closely IN the footsteps
of their respective predecessors and
as it seemed impossible to get cook

STRAY TOPICS FROM y - -
y - LITTLE OLD NEW YORK

New York, Sept. 2 TO say that the
distribution Of earthly possessions is
extremely unequal Is rather trite
statement Of fact too wen known
to cause any surprise, The UNEQUAL
distribution Of wealth II something
that Is generally accepted as newt
able and. as rule. Is given but little
thought, except in cases where con-
trast between extreme wealth and
equally extreme poverty ID demon
strated in particularly glaring man
ner by the iuxtapositiCn Of cases rep
resenting the two extremes. Last
week the readers Of the daily newspar
pers we're confronted with two news
items which strongly emphasized the
contrast between wealth and poverty,
one story reported the suicide Of a
woman whose husband had been out
of work several months on account OF
sickness and who had been notified
that she, her husband and her two
children would be evicted because
they were unable to pay their rent
Discouraged by poverty and starvation
the woman had strangled herself with
a towel. The other item stated in a
few words that Harry Payne Whitney,
the New York multi-millionaire, had
leased the Holwick grouse moors in
England for few days shooting at q
cost Of $4,000 and that he had invited
number of his American friends for
the shooting, bringing them over at his
own expense. TO spend $4,000 for a
few days pleasure seems rather ex.
travagant but, no doubt, Mr.. Whitney
can afford it. But that one person
should be able to spend for a few
days pleasure sum sufficient to
maintain at least one hundred families
for year, while others have not even
enough to keep their families from
starving will, to most people, seem
rather unfair and unjust and not at ali
calculated to abate the steadily grow
ing class hatred Of the proletariat
| for the wealthy classes.

There is considerable evidence that
the relations between the district at
torneys office and the New York po-
lice department are not particularly
cordial. That the department Of po-
lice for many years has been permea-
ted with dishonesty and graft even
the most optimistic citizens can no
longer doubt Too much has already
come to light IN the Rosenthal case to
MAINTAIN the illusions Of the optimists.
The evidence concerning the condi-
tons in the police department which
has been published so far gives ample
food for thought. The most surpris-
ing thing in this matter, however is
the peculiar attitude of the heads Of
the department. It is true, no direct
evidence has as yet been introduced
or If there has. it has not been pub
lished, to show that the heads Of the
department abetted the efforts of the
police to give the murderers of Rosen-
thai every opportunity to escape; but
there is ample evidence that the heads
Of the police department are strongly
antagonistic to the district attorney in
his efforts to obtain evidence against
the grafters and abettors Of crime It
IS characteristic Of this attitude that
certain police officers who were hon
est enough to do their duty and who
assisted the district attorney in his
work, have promptly been punished
by being relieved Of their commands
and banished to outlying districts
where they were assigned to precinct
duty. There were no charges Of inef.
ficiency, neglect Of duty or dishonesty
against these officers. Their only
crime was that Of insubordination in
not acting in accordance with the un
Expressing wishes Of the heads Of the
department. There does not seem tc
be much incentive for police Officer
to be honest and do his duty conscien

When it comes down to railroad leg
islation, it can truthfully be said that
Halvor STEVENSON of Crookston, is the
pioneer in that class of law making.
Minnesota is credited with having the
best railway laws Of any state in the
union and as member of the state
legislature back in the SOS Mr.. Steen-
erson was instrumental in originating
and placing unon the statute books
many of these laws. Since then he
has been active in prosecuting rate
cases and other legislation against
the railways in behalf of the farmers,
carrying one important case as far as
the supreme court securing a favor
able decision. He has done more
than any man in northern Minnesota
to hold the railways in check and
compel them to obey the laws. It
is possible that important railway leg
islation will be undertaken by con-
gress after the supreme court has
rendered it's decision in the rate cases
now before it, and the people of Min
nesota will be fortunate in having a
man of Mr.. Steenerson's knowledge,
experience and sympathies, in con-
gress when that time comes. Be sure
to vote for Mr.. Stevenson next Tues
day.

it was inappropriate Tor Theodore
Roosevelt to make a common political
stump speech in his own behalf at the
state fair. In that gathering were re-
publicans, democrats, rrohibitiCnists,

belief, and their feelings were entitled
to some consideration There were
plenty of other subjects to talk about,

GOV. EBERliAFT DESERVES TO

No one is surnrisea that Governor
Eberh7rt has fled as a candidate to
succeed himself: that was of course
Unless all signs fall he will be noni-
mated: indeed, his nomination is not
very vigorously disputed, even by
supporters of his opponents
He will be reneminated because his
administrator has given general sat
sfaction; it has not satisfied every
|one, and especially not the four dis
|t,neuished gentlemen who oppose
him.
ed and this has made him many new
friends, both because of the character
of the muck hurled at him and be-
cause he has kept his temper under
most trying conditions, and has pre-
served his dignity.
Very few of the charges made
against him have had even enough
of truth in them to make a respecta-
HE rumor. They have consisted
largely of general innuendo and broad
statements, with no effort or inten-
ton at proof.
Now, however, it is his turn; that
he will both defend himself from now
on through the campaign; show the

and give the rest a chance to do some
defending, may be taken for granted.
AS the Minneapolis Tribune says, it
is characteristic of the Scandinavians
as people to prefer peace; they are
seldom or never the aggressors; they
never seek a quarrel, and they seldom
enter one except under extreme pro-

But history chronicles no better
fighters than the Scandinavians when
once aroused, or when the occasion
demands it, to protect their good
name, their honor and their rights.
No one can question their courage.
Governor Eberhart has the char
acteristic of his people. He will
doubtless make vigorous, but not
spectacular, campaign. His admins
tration has made him friends all oTer
