j. Albert johnson has become
identified with the Ed. T. Young
campaign for the republican nomin-

From now until the primaries it
is expected Mr.. johnson will hustle
for his man. When Mr.. Young an
nounced himself j. Albert said he
was for him but it was only last
week that he decided to get out and
gather in the sheaves.
Strong In the Cities
While in st. Paul and Minneapolis
last week he looked oyer the situa-
ton from Mr.. Young's standpoint
and he finds things entirely salts
factory. He says many of the lead
ing politicians of st. Paul declared
Young would carry Ramsey county
and j. Albert doesn't doubt it.
Scandinavians for Him
In Minneapolis he was surprised
to find that a great many leading
Scandinavians are for Young. Sew
eral of the Swedish ministers and
physicians, he says, told him that the
Young sentiment was general among
their people. He looks upon the
Mill City as favorable Young terri.

Just how the campaign is to shape
itself Mr.. johnson does not say. He
has no information as to what Sam
Y. Gordon and Lewis G. Spooner in

of the state Young is strong. HI
says the First district is sure to g

to drop out on his account.

At the same time it is persistent,
rumored that Mr.. Gordon will with

celebration he told The Gazette tina
he did not intend to get out of th'

ter one of the most astute politici
ans in the state told the Gazette
that Gordon would be out of tn,
race within ten days. 1t is possible
the most astute one was wrong.
Still j. Albert Works
Rumor is also busy with Spooner'
name. 1t is reported that The is t

E. P. Byram who has been visiting
with a son at Watertown, S. D.. re
turned home Thursday. He says
that they have some stringent auto
ordinances in that city and are not
the least bit slow enforcing them.
No machine is permitted to run
through the city with open muller
and it is an offense to stop on the
left hand side of the street. Doc
said that crops in that vicinity were
good and that the city Of Watertown
had gained considerably in popula-
ton since spring.

and James Coats and the amounts pared off by the British Parliament. Together, it will be noticed. says the Post, these two opulent British thread-makefs left some sixteen mil- lion dollars, of which the thrifty Brit ish government at once appropriated nearly two millions and half as death duties. That, with a graduat- ed income tax, constitutes the Brit ish method of treating swollen for tunes"
 The sixteen millions of the Coatses is only fraction of the Straus and Astor estates, The British levy, ap- piled to the two American estates, would make six millions appear 9 baggarly sum. All the time they were living, too, the Coatses paid huge income tax.
 American federal government has not reached the graduated income tax at all yet, and state government would be abasfed to claim such per centages as the British government ex- acts. On the British basis the death of John D. Rockefeller would finance a years war with a minor power.
 Despite all the radicalism and rev- olution now raging on paper and from the forum, the United States is the easiest country in which to accu- mulate a swollen fortune, keep it. and pass it on.
 Radicalism and revolution in the United States have not yet reached the stage to propose what is esta blish ed fact. and matter of course in staid old England.-Buffalo Courier.

WATCH THE BABIES

Constant watchfulness over the con ditions Of babies by mothers and nurses during the present heated sea son may prevent illness and possible death Children in their second summers suffer intensely because. ,. of tsething. The heat makes them cross and nature does not provide them with means to lucidly explain what is causing the fretfulness. Moth- CTS and nurses become more or less fatigued because baby is cross and the task of keeping the latter we'll is something of a thankless job. The health department has issued the cus- tonary rules and regulations that are of great assistance to mothers at this season and If they will observe them, a great deal of trouble may be avoid ed.r Elsewhere in this issue timely warning on this important question is sounded by Health Officer McLel- Ian and we earnestly commend it's perusal to the head of every family as we'll as to the mothers of the household.

STATE vS. COMMITTEE

Developments in number of states show that it is much easier for a na- tional committee to declare it's own rules superior to the laws of a state. than it is to make them so. The Re- publican National Committee unseat- ed delegates from California, because the law under which they were elect ed was in certain particulars in, dis cordance with the rules of the com mittee.
 California Republicans do. never theless. name their own presidential electors. They are preparing to name electors favorable to Roosevelt. rhese will be the regular Republican electors
 It is a little difficult to see what the national committee is going to do about 1t. either in California, or in any other state where the Republl- can convention chooses to do the same thing.
 The lesson that is driven home is the need f6r a national preferential primaries law. under which primaries

The first Quakers to land on Ameri- can soil were Mary Fisher and Ann Austin, who reached Boston on this date in 1856 after a long voyage from England by way of the West Indian island of Barbados. The two Women caused great consternation to the Puritans. and George Bishop, in an address to the magistrates, said:" Two women arriving in your harbor sc shock ye, to the everlasting shame oi you, and of your established order, as if formidable army had invaded your borders The Quaker sect or So. ciety of Friends, was founded by Fox in 1648. Later George Fox visited America. The part played by William Penn and other Quakers in the history of Pennsylvania and New Jersey is familiar to all students of history.

SAVING BABIES

The campaign of the board of health to teach the proper handling of babies is timely. The infant nor tality of the world is terrible to con template It is asstanding testimon- ia1 to our semi -barbarous state, that SC many mothers must go down into the valley of the shadow only to fur nish needless sacrifice to death. Some of the babies who die are born with such disabilities they have no chance for life. But most of the infant deaths are preventable. It is the du- ty of Boards of Health to teach the preventive means.

To this end they have employed d lawyer and he has addressed the prose cutting authorities of New Haven, di- recting attention to a statute which makes persons who now seek to ride on running boards trespassers, and subject to arrest and punishment, for their selfishness and cruel disregard ot the safety of the trolleymen and the public. This statute says that
 Every person who shall wilwully
 and unlaWfully be upon, occ upy or
 attach himself to any fender, bum
 per, coupler, draw bar, roof Or any
 other part of the car of any elec-
 tric street railway company, not
 intended for passengers, shall be
 fined not more than $20, or impris-
 oned not more than 30 days, or
 both.
 The trolleymen will demand the ar rest under this law of any person who insists upon riding upon the running board of. any car, after being ordered off.
 The man who stands upon run ming board risks his own safety, risks the safety of the conductor and te some extent the safety of his fellow passengers.
 An accident to an overcrowded cal is sure to be attended with more dis. aster than an accident to car which carries only a reasonable number ol persons.

that tsthe inheritance tax on the es- tates of the late Isidor Straus and John Jacob Astor will amount to something like $6.00O.000."
 That is an astonisher to the folks who have not kept track of inheri- tance taxation and figured out how il counts up when applied to huge for tunes. It is only few years since the state began taking toll of inner itances.
 But what happens to huge fortunes in the state of New York is small siic- ing compared with what happens to them in Great Britain.

 this point very clear. They say
 'The recent history of street railways in our city and state has registered ( several fatalities re- sulting to conductors from over
 crowding running boards"
 It has, and also many. injuries to passengers. ! But the safety of. conductors, and the safety of the passengers, import Fant as their safety is, does not reach the heart of the question. The street railways have received, entirely free of charge, valuable fran chises, by which they have monop- oly of street railway transportation in one of the most densely populated sections of the United States, Street railways, in territory where the population is much thinner than in Bridgeport. give better service and lower fares.
 Even in Connecticut, where the laws are not remarkable for the pro- lection given to the public from the avarice of the great public services, the rule of law is that a passenger is entitled to seat. and that pas 1 sengers shall not be dfscriminated against.
 There is an exception to this rule l Occasions may occur, once in while where a trolley company is confront ed by an unexpected rush. l Some crowding upon these occa- sions may be permissible, if the safe ty of others is not threatened. But the terms of the contract be- tween the state and it's trolley mo- nopolies require the latter to furnish cars enough to properly accommodate the traffic that may be reasonably ex- pected on given line at 3 given time It is the good nature of the aver age citizen, his innate politeness, that has made the public an easy victim to trolley extortion.

A Wife's Earnings.

 To the convention of General Fed erated Women's clubs, now in session in San Francisco, there has been offered detailed and elaborate leg isIatfve programme that seeks to fur ther elnancipate married women and make them in so far as questions. of tinct individuals in the fullest sense of the word. The most Important Of the proposed legislative enactments is that relating to the wife's earnings. The federation wants wage-earning woman to have the disposal of the m oney she earns. It is pointed out that the only place where a husband has any claim on his wife's wages is when he is irfirm or incapacitated from work If the federation takes up this question seriously and suc- ceeds in, securing the passage of such a law in the different states it will have a far-reaching influence.

COLD WATER

Forming new party right at home. and under the eyes of old po- litical associates, seems much like
 bathing in cold water. This is a conclusion drawn from the reluctance shown by number of gentlemen to publicly accept the honor that is the due of new party builders. Such trepidation indicates that perhaps the man and the task are not yet met in Bridgeport He who would swim
 far must not have chattering teeth before he gets into his bathing suit.

The Democratic Tariff Policy.
 (From Minneapolis Journal ]


 The minor role that the platforms seem destined to play in this cam paign does not absolve the good citi- zen from careful consideration of the documents. The Democrats at Ball. timore returned to their historic stand against the right of the gov ernment to take from the people in tariff duties anything beyond what It needs for it's own economical admin istration.
 This is a straight enough declara- ton against the policy of protection. but it is no bar to it's practice. Rev. enue duties may be so adjusted as to afford a measure of protection. The Democrats in the next paragraph show they had this in mfnd, for they rec ognize that the tariff system has be- come intimately connected with in- dustry, and so they favor the ultimate attainment of their purpose by legis- lation that will not injure the business of the country.

Sons of the South.

(From Cleveland Plain Dealer.)
 Woodrow Wilson. Oscar w. Under wood and Champ Clark, the three leading candidates before the BalJi- more convention, the men for whom three-fourths of the votes were cast on most Of the ballots. are all sons of the south. Dr. Wilson was born in Virginia; Underwood and Clark both claim Kentucky as their native state.
 These facts are noteworthy as marking the passing of an unworthy tradition. Ever since the, close of the Civil War it has been an unwrit- ten law that no southern man could be nominated for the presidency. The Democratic par ty has been as steadfast as the Re- publican in it's adherence to this doc Urine. z The fear has been that q southern candidate would alienate the votes of certain northern element that failed to understand that the Civil War was thing of the past.
