very little enlightenment.

very little enlightenment.
Gordon's platform is directed
against some of the crying evils of
Minnesota politics-things so patent
that it seems a wonder that they are
allowed to exist. Yet we go on year
after year electing governors and
other public officials who will not
make an effort for betterment.
Gordon's platform does not reflect
the utterance of the ambitious man
bidding for votes; it is the bugle call
of leader battling for cause.
On it's surface it appears to drive
away more support than it attracts.
He drives away the support of the
breweries, he drives away the support
of the machine politicians who don't
believe in the primary, he drives away
the people enjoying special privileges
who don't believe in the initiative,
referendum and recall, he drives
away the believers in pocket
borough government who don't be-
lieve in fair reapportionment, ne
drives away the favored who don t
want an income tax. he drives away
the support of the railroads by de-
handing that they shall treat all
communities fairly and pay just taxes.
But his challenge cannot but at
tract the support of every man VINO
believes in better things in the polltl'
cal life of Minnesota. Whether
there are enough to carry the conven
ton remains to be seen. The politiea
forecasters all say that Gordon stands
no show. but however that may be
it is far better for Mr.. Gordon tt
90 down to an honorable defeat thai
to have the governorship handed t
him in return for being the plan
tool of the interests.
And furthermore, Gordon isn't de
> feated yet; there are lots Of goo
, people in Minnesota.

Sacred Teeth.

Teeth Of all kinds have been wor-
SHIPPED and are. in fact, venerated as
relics in some religious shrines. Bud
dha's tooth is preserved in an Indian
temple, the Cingalese worship the
tooth Of monkey. while the eIe-
plants and sharks teeth serve a sim
liar purpose among the Malabar and
Tonga islanders respectively. The
Siamese were formerly the possessors
Of the tooth of a sacred monkey,
which they valued very highly, but in
war with the Portuguese they lost
the holy grinder and had to pay 3d.
100000 to get 1t back again. 1t is
now kept in small gold box, inclOsed
in six other boxes, in one of the many
temples Of the Siamese capital.

MARKING a Bullet,

When leaden bullet traverses cloth
characteristic marks are left upon the
projectile which are not obliterated by
the subsequent passage of the bullet
through flesh, provided that it does
not strike bone 1t is even possible
to identify the nature Of the garment
through which the bullet has passed
by careful examination of the marks
on the lead.
Morris tribune., 1912-01-19

The "seven senator" constitutional
amendment has always been a most
interesting one to US to discuss, but
because we have felt certain that it
would not pass and that the evils at
which it is aimed would have to be
met in some other way, we have re-
Trained from saying much about it.
But the Minneapolis Journal seems to
have found it fruitful source of
Copy" and is continually holding
joint debates with some advocate of
the bill. Many of the advocates of
the amendment go as far afield on
one side as the Journal on the other.
The sensible view appears to US to be
that representation from any large
center should not be exactly equal on
the basis of population with the bal
ance of the state. This is not because
one voter in the city is not as good
as one voter in the country, but be-
cause in all representative bodies, a
compact minority will have an undue
weight. If all manner of trading
were absolutely eliminated from con-
ventions and legislative halls. then a
representation based upon population
would be strictly just, but so long as
trading of many kinds is INDUCED in,
those localities which are, especially
apt to be bound together by machine
control and similarity of interest
should be handicapped in their re-
presentation. The cities in Minnesota
havebeen growing faster than the coun-
try and one reason has been that the
cities have been favored especially in
legislation dealing with those arteries
of trade-the railroads. To further
increase the power OF the cities would
produce still more unhealthful con,
dition in the body polite. And tc
wait until the cities have majority
before trying to limit them would be
suicidal. Since they do not need
even a majority to control. their COM
pact minority should be limited tt
about the present size. The Mime
apolis Journal has never met this point
squarely, and if it believes that there
is any answer, or that the whole issue
is anything more than moot ques
ton anyway, they should so do.

GORDON'S ANN OUNCE
MENT.
MENT.

To the people of Minnesota -
Because it is time to raise squarely
in this state the issue between gov
eminent responsive to the will and
need of the people. and government
responsible chiefly to the will an
greed of a system of special interests,
of which the brewery power in politics
is the keystone, 1 have determined to
become a, candidate forthe Republican:
nomination for Governor. there
fore announce my candidacy to the
people Of Minnesota, in whom I put
my trust, and before whom l shall
rest my case, and in doing so pledge
myself that if elected 1 shall advocate
and work earnestly and uncompromis-
ingIy to bring about the following
changes. all Of which l believe to be
essential to government that shall be
truly "of the people. by the people,
and for the people,
l. The absolute prohibition of
brewery ownership of saloons. the
chief cause for the groosest evils of
the liquor traffic, and the chief source
of brewery domination in politics
and public affairs, which is at once
the most subtle, the most crude, the
most sinister, and the most mischiev-
Gus force in the public life of this
commonwealth.
2. The adoption of the statewide
primary and the presidential primary,
to the end that bosses, backed and
financed though they may be by the
money of arrogant selfish interests,
shall be forced to surrender their
misused power to the people, to whom
it belongs, and from whom it has been
taken. These measures should be &C
companied by the further safeguard
of rigid and effective corrupt prac-
tices act.
3. The adoption of the initiative,
the referendum and the recall, to the
end that the people shall have the
closest possible control of government
al operations. There is wide division
of opinion as to the wisdom of apply.
ing the recall principle to judges. anC
as this is in the experimental stage.
do not believe that it should become
an issue in this state until it has beer
tried by the states that have adopted
it.
| 4. A fair. honest and equitable
legislative reapportionment. that shall
do exact justice to all. and that shall
remove the gross injustice of the pre-
sent legislative reapportionment, ant
so end for all time sectional feelins
from which nothing but harm cal
come.
5. A reorganization of state de
partments for economy and efficiency
including the assembling under on,

HOPEFULNESS.

One Of the means Of avoiding
unnecessary misery and wretched-
ness is to cultivate on all occasions
the spirit Of hopefulness until it be-
comes characteristic, habit, the
cast Of mind. Tenacity, courage,
a cheerful and hopeful spirit, even
in the dark days, distinguish the
men Of high hearts and characters.
Try, then. to be hopeful under all
circumstances, for he who abandons
hope and gives way to despair loses
the ability to master the difficulties
that beset him.

Probably the most desolate, dreary

THE BACA FLOAT
Senator Mark Smith Promises to
 Aid Settlers.

On the floor of the senate Senator Mark Smith will urge an investigation of the action of the department of the interior in holding up decision in the famous Baca Float case provided that appropriate action is not previously taken by the depart ment, according to statement made by Senator Smith in con ference Tuesday night with J.B. Bristol, President of the NOgaleS and Santa Cruz county chamber of commerce.
 The case involving about 60, GOO acres of land in Santa Cruz county, lying between Tu- bac and Calabasas, has been for riOr court for the district of Columbia, on an injuction re- straining the granting of a patent to Henry Owen, the ap- plicant. The injuction is also to grant the Baca heirs more time in which to collect additional evidence.
 ''The majority of business interests and citizens generally of Santa Cruz county" said Mir. Bristol, feel that the delay if greatly retarding the develop ment of Santa Cruz county, by clouding title to a great body ot domain, and they desire the representative of Arizona in congress to assist them in get ting action on the matter. - Tucson Citizen.

The Leasing System.

A great many mining men, men who work in the mines and know how to polish off the head of drill, could make a great deal more than regular wages if they would take working lease on some property of known val ue; and more than one mining company if it could only be brought to believe it. could derive a greater revenue by leasing their properties than they could by working them themselves.
 A leaSer can often accomplish more than a mining company can. The leaser is working for himself, individually and knows no hours. The mining company has fixed charges to meet, such as office rent, and salary to se- cretary. manager, and office boy. The leaser works all the time because he is working for him. self. The pick and shovel miner, in the employ of the company, has no interest at stake but to put in his time, and this, often, to the actual loss of the company. The leaser has but few wants and demands no luXurieS. He can live and carry on his work at half the expense that a com pany can. A leaSer can get along with less equipment than acOm- pany, which, with it's big ideas, | imafiines it must have. His auto mobile is often nothing but a burro, and his champagne noth- ing more than good spring water Therefore his expense account is not padded, and he has no need to tear his hair and wonder what his manager is doing that so much money is needed in out putting a few tons of ore.
 The leasing is good of any camp, and a miner who is fortu- nate in securing a good lease Is much better off than if he were
 working in company mine for so much a day. And he is a be- nefactor to his camp, for he buys his supplies of local. merchants, and the men he employs spend the major portion of their earn ings among the business men of the district. The leaSer is ot times more successful and inde- pendent than a mining company
 He is a camp benefactor, and,
 perchance, may develop small mine into great producer
