county. The people believe in his
ability and entire uprightness, as is
amply shown by his repeated elections
to the bench of the Probate Court, and
in no respect has he ever belied, in
his official conduct, the general esti-
mate of his capacity, high character
and absolute fairness.
His family has been prominent in
the history of st. Paul for nearly
three-quarters of century, and he
has therefore every incentive for the
cordial interest he has always mani
tested in the city and county of his
home. He obtained his academic edu-
cation in the st. Paul fpublic schools,
Business College, and his legal instruc-
ton in the office of the late Judge
Cornish, prominent St. Paul lawyer.
Following his admission to the bar
he applied himself vigorously to his
profession and rose to a high rank in
it. For four years, from 1883 to 1887,
he served as Clerk of the District
Court and from 1894 to 1898 as Alb
stract Clerk. These official positions
gave him excellent practical training
for the duties Of his present Office and
furnished him with qualifications for
them surprising those of most men.
The interests of the general public are
entirely safe in his hands, and every
person who has business in his court
can rely on square deal and the full
est protection Of his rights in every
particular

THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN.

On last Sunday, in Chicago Lawn
congregational church, the widow of
DR.. H. w. Thomas read a sermon that
was delivered by him in 1898, on the
occasion Of the opening of the Worlds
Columbian Exposition, entitled, "The
Universal Brotherhood of Man" In
the audience Of over 1000 persons who
heard the original sermon there were
representatives Of every race and ma
ton in the world 1t was a plea for
the abolition of race prejudice and an
exposition Of the common interests Of
all human beings The sermon was a
remarkable one in the undisputable
facts it contained. 1t said: "The hui
man mind is the same wherever hi
man beings live. 1t puts men on a
common plane, above every other form
OF life or matter. Be he European,
Celestial, Jew CT African, he stands
above everything around him. HUI
man conscience is the same every
where. 1t tells every human being to
do what he thinks is right. It is the
common possession Of men of every
race and stage of civilization. Affec-
tons, loye Of music and the aesthetic
sense also, are the common posses
sions of all men. These things should
weld all human beings into a. great
brotherhood
Would to God that there were manv
| more men such as DR.. Thomas who
! have the courage Of their convictions.

SOUNDS THE KEYNOTE.

Upon the solid rock of the
rights of the individual as grant
ed by the Constitution, the Re-
publican party builds it's struc-
ture of optimism. The Demo-
cratic party on the other hand,
in the opening sentence Of it's
address to the electorate, be-
trays it's occasional quality by
denying the right of Congress, a
right again and again confirmed
by the Supreme Court, to estab-
Iish protective duties for the ben
eft of American industries. 1t de-
cIares as false the vital issue of
the constitutional liberties of the
individual. Such liberties are
now assaulted by those who advo-
cate the overthrow Of the indie
pendence of the judiciary. 1t
would leave the individual de-
fenseIess in the protection of
those rights declared inaIienabIe
under the Constitution.-Charles
