DOGS BANQUET; BABIES sTARvE
Duluth Labor. World: New York has
furnished another genuine shock to
the human sensibilities in q luncheon
party given at one Of the most sumpt-
uous hotels Of that city for the de-.
light of Pekinese spaniel and several
other dogs of like social rank =:
Each Of the aristocratic CANNES was
attended by his. tchaperon," q lady Of
wealth. The repast was prepared by
the chief of the hotel. It was served
by well-trained walters; was spread up
on a table adorned with every elegance
of silver and cut glass and hot-house'
blooms. T..
furthermore, the reporters Of the
press were notified that they might
come and write it up as a function of
the first order-an ''event" in society.
!; And the reporters were present, too.
Some of the big newspapers had illus
trated feature stories in which the in.
suit to human intelligence and decency
was depicted graphically. -: :
The .Pekinese spaniel. is breed of
dog typical Of the species Of aristocracy
that ,indulged in the feat Of degenerate
extravaganza. It is q. canine caricatures
freak Of the perverse in nature, help
less and useless to man, of no purpose
save to amuse the emptiness of an idle
class as. incapable Of rational pleasure
as of useful employment. :. -
No stronger chapter Of the gospel Of
discomfort could possibly be written
than an accurate report, Of an affair of
this kind. r.
While ignorant and indolent women
played chaperon to freak ours in vain
search for amusement, intelligent and
Industrious women. by the thousands
and tens Of thousands-yes, by the mil
ions-were puzzling their noble minds
to solve the problem of how. to secure
a bare living.
While the monstrosities Of the ken
mel were faring sumptuously on the
products Of the culinary art amid the
luxuries of q New. York ban4uet room,
millions of normal American babes
were suffering for the bare necessities
Of human living.

Bible students may be interested to
know that there is still good fishing in
the sea of Galilee. DR.. Ernest w. Cur

medicine in Galilee, made a special
study Of the fishes found there, and in
a recent book says that he found 43
varieties, twice as many as can be
found in the British isles. The fisher

the fish caught, the revenue going parts

The intense partisanship Of parties
has been their undoing, and the ten
dency now is the other way toward
the departyizing Of the party. The les
son Of history, says the Minneapolis
Journal. following the great historian
Ferrero, is that the rule Of the party
is succeeded by the rule Of the strong
individual or popular hero, and that
succession Of popular heroes ends in
absolutism. When the organized ex-
preston Of party is removed, the
popular leader who is most trusted or
who has most ability to deceive be-
comes for the time being the center Of
political thought for the multitude.
Whereas the party was simply the
coming together of the many who
agreed on certain political doctrines,
with the dissolution Of the party the
reign Of the strong personality begins,
and democracy gradually disappears.
While it is true that history proves
these conclusions to be true, it is also
true that history shows that the people
Of the ancient republics did not have
the check on their officials which the
Initiative, Referendum and Recall
provide. When matters got past endur-
ing, in the olden times the only remedy
was the sword and revolution. It
would seem that with people so close to
their government as they would be
with proper Initiative, Referendum
and Recall, there would be no such
danger of the popular leader subverting
the rights Of the people. It does not
seem that any better method can be Of.
fered for the preservation of popular
rights against the ambitions of un.
scrupulous leaders. No system is per.
feet, and as time passes, perhaps bet.
ter can be devised, but it would be
folly to despair Of popular govern.
ment until direct legislation and direct
accountability Of public servants to
the people, have proven failure.

In the discussion of primary bills in
the legislature, class Of voters now
rather numerous, has been practically
left out of consideration. The indepen-
dent voter, who does not wish to as
sumo a party name, or who is not GER
tain what party he belongs to, if any,
bound by party ties at all-these are
shut out Of the primary. Their only re-
course is to act for party ballot. 1t
hardly seems fair to shut out this class
of voters, especially in the choosing of
candidates where efficiency and hon
>esty are a more important considera-
ton than party policy. It has been
suggested that if there were one ballot,
the voter could select the candidate he
favored, voting for one only in any
party for any one office. The party
leaders say this would give men who
refuse to recognize party allegiance a
part in choosing the party's candidate.
They consider this unfair, and where
the candidates. involve large questions
of party policy this would seem per-
haps justified. Where it involves only
offices that are primarily simply doing
the ordinary work of the public, and no
fundamental policies involved, there
ism It much force in the objection. Some
20 so far as to wish to cut the party
out entirely, from president down. This
lis going too far, and is contrary to the
theory Of our government. There has
been a good deal Of talk about chang
ing ideals Of party, ETC., some Of which
is true, and some Of which is bosh.
There are fundamental differences be.
tween the two great parties. One is
federalistic, and the other democratic
One may have at times not closely
adhered to it's fundamentals, the 9th
er may have leaned toward the op
position, and individuals and groups in
either may have held varying views
There are, however, lines of cleavage
that 60 back to the days Of Hamilton
and jefferson, and from that time tc
this, through all the political and in
dustrial changes in the nation, the
cleavage still persists. Sometimes thu
lines are not very clear, and are made
still more obscure by the fact that me1
with different party names agree OF
so many things. LaFollette and Bryan
disagree only on the tariff. Bryan i:
not protectionist; LaFollette is

The hearing Of contested delegates
before the national republican COM
mittee in Chicago, goes merrily on, and
the steam-roller, we'll oiled by Roose-
welt four years ago, is fattening out
everyone opposed to Taft. There are
254 seats contested, and out. Of al
contests heard, Roosevelt has been CIV
en- but one. Roosevelt says that 81
members Of the committee have be-
trayed the party and that the Taft
ties will be unable to get away with
<'the swag. - The Roosevelt men are
charged with attempting to buy the
nomination, Mckinley charging that
Taft delegates from the South, have
been offered money. That the voters Of
these United States will not stand for
either one when nominated, is beyond
doubt. This is sure democratic year.

pounded over and over again, he rises
ready for another fray. Pike has been
for many years consistent follower Of
Bryan and Bryan's doctrines, a con.
tinuous insurgent in Ramsey county
politics. Without the opposition which
he started several months ago, the Du-
luth convention would have been a
tame affair, and delegation composed
mostly Of standpatter Bourbon re-
dictionaries, ostensibly for Wilson, but
really anti-Bryan; would have gone to
Baltimore. Bennett and Pike have been
busy for some time. While they did not
succeed so far as Lynch was concerned,
unquestionably their wor k resulted in
different delegation than could have
been predicted two months ago.
One Of the things that saddened me,
and made me reflect on 1nadequacy of
things in general, was the way in which
Frank Days former followers treated
him. Day came back to Minnesota to
find his power gone, the scepter in the
hands Of former friends who were not
inclined to give it back. His name was

smashed to smithereens, but the form
