fact that he Was member of the

So the grumpy editor of the Pine
County Courier is of the opinion
that Bob Dunn sis trying to down
Rines.'' The Sandstone wiseacre
has another think coming. Bob
Dunn has said that he is, has been
and will continue to be opposed to
hole-in- the-wall caucuses. He is not
and will not be pledged to any man
for speaker. If caucus, to which
all the republican members of the
house are invited, is held, he will
endeavor to participate in the same
and he will abide by the action of
such caucus. Bob Dunn has no
favors to ask of any candidate for
speaker and would just as soon ride
in coal-wagon as in a band-wagon.
At the same time he is not and has
not been unfriendly to Mr.. Rines,
and he who asserts to the contrary
has small regard for the truth.

Mary McFadden, who until recent

Mary McFadden, who until recently
was a member of the editorial staff
of the Duluth News Tribune, is now
editing the Courant, a magazine
published, in the interest of woman's
suffrage and woman's clubs. It
scintillates with sparkling gems of
thought and contains articles which
should make those grouchy, cantank-
erous old country editors who oppose
equal suffrage sit up and take notice.
When female suffragists secured the
services of Mary McFadden they did
well, for she Can be depended upon
to fight bravely for the rights of her
countrywomen. If it is possible: to
obtain woman suffrage Mary is the
one who can bring the issue to a
successful elimination. Her aim.
though, will be brought about by
the exercise of diplomacy and not by
the hurting of brickbats, course
which the militant sufragettes OF
London are resorting to. The Union
wishes Mary success and feels con-
fident that she will make good. ,,

g Blue Sky'' Laws.

The Investment Bankers Association
OF America, recently in session at New
York, approved a modified form of the
"blue sky" law of Kansas, and its
members will urge such legislation in
other states in the near future. The
subject is one of vast Importance to
the general public, that has been so
often victimized by fy-by-night and
get-rich-quick concerns.
In a general way the Kansas ''blue
sky law provides that before securi-
ties can be listed for sale in the state
they must be approved by the state
banking commissioner, who must find
that they will yield fair return on
the money invested.
Some Of the bankers objected to this
as paternalistic, but most of them ap-
proved the principle. There is no rea-
son why investors should not have
some measure of protection from all
sorts of swindlers. When a man de-
posits his money in a bank he has
some assurance that the government
is trying to protect him. But when he
buys stocks or bonds he has no assur-
ance except such as is furnished by
his own unaided investigations. There
ought to be a competent authority in
each state to inform the public as to
the nature of securities offered for
sale. We have pure food laws and
regulate other kinds of commerce.
Why not commerce in stocks and
bonds?

DR.. S. S. Wise, rabbi of the Free
synagogue of New York, sociolo-
gist and philanthropist, delivered
several addresses in Minneapolis on
"Civic Duty'' in which he took &C.
casion to drive number of barbed
shafts into corrupt municipal officials
which probably penetrated some of
his hearers. Among other thrusts
he made were these: ''The most
deadly enemy of the republic,~ who
must be met and overcome is the
city grafter-the municipal cor
ruptionist. "Civic righteousness is
not to be achieved by spasms cover
ing a fortnight before election, or by
paroxysms of civic wrath which sub
side Immediately after election day"
"Politics does not ruin character.
IT. is the want of character that
ruins politics. Here are some
truths which cannot be refuted-
truths that some men should ''read,
mark, learn and inward]y digest.''

Democratic leaders in the senate

Democratic leaders in the senate,
says a Washington dispatch, have
gathered added strength for their
movement to prevent the confrma-
tion of the majority of President
Taft's appointments, and it is I'M
derstood that practically all the post
office appointments will be "pock-
eted" by senators from the inter-
ested districts wherever they may be
affected by a change of administra-
tion on March 4. This looks like a
particularly mean trick, but United
State senators are noted for their
trickery.

A bill has been passed by the
house which provides for the pen.
sioning of widows and minor children
~of veterans of the Spanish-American
War or Of the Philippine .insurrection.
If the measure passes the senate and
becomes law it will mean pension
of twelve dollars a month for each
widow affected by it's provisions and
two dollars per month: for every
minor child. The measure would
require an appropriation Of $1,000,

little sum to secure for Woodrow
Wilson the presidency. The dem

hope that Mr.: Wilson will prove
that he is worth the amount paid for

ward by the democrats at the extra

for that purpose next April will not
be accomplished so easily as many of
the faithful anticipate. Democratic
congressman are split up into several
factions on the tariff problem-some
want the revenue removed from GER

only stand for partial reduction.
