Says Senator O'Gorman of New
York anent the Panama canal dis
pute: 1.-THE question will never be
submitted to The Hague tribunal. In
all existing treaties providing for the
submission Of controversies to The
Hague Court Of arbitration there are
three exceptions. Questions affecting
vital interests, national honor, and
third parties will not be submitted to
arbitration. 1t is difficult to conceive
OF a question more vitality affecting
American interests and our national
honor than the question whether we
must consult a foreign power before
We make such use as we may think
proper Of our own canal, built on
American territory"

have observed that the orangemen
of Ireland are holding meetings for the
purpose of making big demonstration
against HOME RULE. The newspap-
GERS are filled with accounts of their
doings, and what they propose to do
to show their adherence of permitting
IN their own country, and of making
their own local laws. To an American
such proceeding must appear ridic-
ulous in the extreme. In Wisconsin
we have a state government where
we make all laws pertaining to the
State in which we live. The same
is true of Minnesota and of every one
of the States of this Union.
Then, if the majority of the people
of Ireland want to have a Parliament
of their own, the same as they had
for many years, and to enact all laws
of local nature, to be administered
by their own sons, instead of having
laws made by absentee landlords ant
for the benefit of those Absentee Land
Lords, what sort of man is he who
will say nay to such procedure?
Most certainly he cannot be patriot.
The soul inspiring words of the poet
are just as applicable today as when
they We're first written:
"Breathes there man with soul 50

Who never to himself has said:
This is my own, my native land.'
We read that at one of their gath
erings they unfurled and waved the
flag which was carried by King Will
liam at the battle of the Boyne. Pretty
lot of fellows those unpatriotic mis-
creants who appear to gloat over the
memory of the defeat of the legiti-
mate sovereign Of that Kingdom, and
the triumph of a foreigner over the
native sons of that land. The only

merit the strongest praise that can he

FLIMsv TARIFF ARGUMENTS

No Republican campaign speaker, to
our knowledge, has undertaken to de
fend the high schedules in the Payne
Aldrich bill, such as schedule X, which
President Taft himself admitted to be
"indefensible." But q Republican
bureau furnishes plate matter to
country newspapers, to bamboozle the
farmers on this intricate subject. The
paid writer's of such cheap stuff do
not attempt to convince the farmers
of the country Of the advantages Of
high tariff on agricultural implements
and on every manufactured article
used by them. They know that the
farmers are not all fools and would
not believe their sophistry.
In an article before us. scriticls:ng
a speech by Mr. Underwood Of Ala
ban1a, majority leader of the House OF
Representatives, and the best inform
ed man on the tariff in that assembly,
we find the following style of arsu-
ment:
There is nothing novel In the I'm
derwood distortion of tariff figures
and facts. 1t Is as threadbare as free
trade, as threadbare as the American
workingman would soon be If he
should allow himself to be beguiled
by Underwood and other votaries o:
the late Confederate constitution into
the surrender of Republican protec-
tion."

| them? Would not they be politely told
to cease their unpatriotic mutterings.
and if they did not stop such unpatrio-
tic attempts would they not be driven
from the State entirely? Certainly they
would. If those Orangemen are not
willing to abide by the will of the
great majority of that little island then
! they should act decently about 1t anc;
betake themselves to Scotland, Or to
some other land where their views of
religion and law-making powers may
meet with the views of the people Of
that country. We are now passing
through an era of great unrest all over
the world, and it will never do at all
for a small minority to attempt to
thwart the efforts of vast majority
in their patriotic undertakings Of re-
storing to themselves, and to their
children, the inalienable right to make
their own local laws and atoning in
wrong that was done in depriving them
of their own parliament in 1800-more
than century ago. 1t is not step
! backward by any means.
Canada, Australia, and about all the
other British dependencies have their
own local legislatures and make their
own local laws. Why should not ire
land aspire to do the same? And when
her sons are endeavoring to bring
about such a wholesome TRANSFORMED
ton, and the Irish people have spoken
in no uncertain voice about it by
preponderance of votes, is it not a
shameful sight to behold men Of this
present and enlightened age seeking
to fan the flames of bigotry by incen-
diary speeches and by waving a flag
which might have done duty, as they
saw it, in July 1690-more than two
hundred years ago?
However, I have great faith in the
enlightened judgment of the British
people as whole, and do not believe
that liberty-loving Englishmen, Scotch
men, Welshmen, Australians and Cam
adams can now, In this progressive
age, look with favor on the attempts
made by Sir Edward Carson and his
narrow, bigoted satellites, to stop the
wheels of progressive legislation, ana
to upset the labors of a liberty lowing
people to enjoy the fruits Of their la
bors for SO many years in their en-
beavers to have what they are pleased
to call HOME RULE.

STRAW VOTES FOR PRESIDENT.

If straw votes taken on trains and
by newspapers be any indication Of
victory in the present campaign,
Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic can
didate, will be the next President Of
the United States. According to the
recent national poll taken by the Chi
cago Record Herald, Wilson was ahead
of Roosevelt, and Taft ran behind.
Many of the voters who were asked
for their preference made no reply
and appeared to treat the matter with
Indifference.
For instance, at Detroit, $500 of the
test ballots were distributed at the
Michigan state fair, with the request
that they be marked and dropped
into the ballot box furnished for the
purpose. OF the $500 ballots, only
$50 were deposited, and of the latter
only 255 had been marked.
The New York Herald published an
other poll last Sunday and Wilson led

third. More than $4,000 votes were
taken in various parts Of the county,
exclusive of the solid South which Is
conceded to Wilson. OF the total
straw ballots taken In all sections.
Wilson received 11.164; Roosevelt, T.
147; Taft, 4,7s4; Debs, 1900.
The Republican loss from 1908, ac-
cording to the figures, is 5,997. The
Democratic gain over 1908 is 2,254.
The Herald makes no prediction Of its
own, but merely presents the figures,
which speak for themselves..g It also
prints the reports from correspondents
In every state in the Union, which
bear out largely the indicated results
Of the straw votes.
The Herald finds that the Roosevelt
tide has reached it's height and that
the Taft movement is gaining in some
parts Of the country. Wilson remains
stationary In some sections, gains in
others, and, SO far as reports show,
loses nowhere. The Herald says that
its reports indicate very clearly that
Wilson Is leading both other candi-
dates.

Of the committee with O'Brien. Every
candidate on the state ticket, includ.
ing the candidates for Congress and
the United States Senate, are perfect
ly satisfied to entrust their interests
with o'Brien, Day and Daily, who will
do everything possible to carry al
candidates to victory.
In the present campaign for COVER,
nor, the Democrats have not John
Lind or a John A. Johnson, but in
P. M. Ringdal@ they have man pys-
sessing every qualification for the ,t-
flee, and one who, by his record as q
member of the railroad and warehouse
commission and now of the board OF
control, has given, satisfaction.
When he ran for Congress years ago
from the Crookston district he po.led
big vote and came near being
elected-a proof Of his popularity
where best known.
Daniel w. LAWYER, of st. Paul, is
candidate for United States Senator
against the present incumbent, Hon.
Knute Nelson, OF Alexandria. Away
back in 1892 they were candidates for
governor, and had not Ignatius Dor.
nelly entered the contest. LAWYER
would have certainly defeated Nelson
by a large majority. As it was, he
ran less. than 5000 votes behind linn.
D. w. La&ler is a man, of splendid
ability who will make the fur fly dur
ing the campaign We doubt if he
has superior as an orator in the en- :
tire Northwest. MIR. Nelson will find
him different man from Peterson,
the admirer of the Bull Moose. The
Irish Standard has no hesitation in
throwing its influence to LAWYER In
this campaign, not because Knute
Nelson is his opponent, but becauss
he is q lifelong Democrat who repre-
sents the principles Of Jeffersonian
democracy, which this paper has been
advocating for the past twenty-fivs
years. We hope the Democrats Of
Minnesota will avoid all dissenslonS
and pull tremendously together 70:

OUT AGAINST ROOSEVELT.

The Rev. Peter c. YOrke, the 9ble
editor of the San Francisco Leader,
calls upon the citizens of California
to vote for Wilson to beat Roosevelt,
as a vote for Taft in that state would
be vote thrown away. "Taft has
no more chance of carrying California;.
than he has Of carrying the moon,
and his friends are simply trying to
preserve the party machinery" he
says.
The patriotic priest long since de-
clared Roosevelt a peril to the repub-
lie and the most dangerous man in
American public life. The Oyster Bay
demagogue was then at the height Of
his popularity and FIR. Yorke almost
stood alone in his opinion; but now a
considerable number of people who
stood closest to Roosevelt have dis
covered the same fact.
IF with his usual luck" says FIR.
Yorke. 'he wins the presidency, this
generation will see the proof of our
assertion" Therefore, he appeals 70
his readers to lay aside all private
and personal feelings and consider the
question solely from the standpoint of
the common good and American ins.i-
tutions. He cares not for politics, but
he does care to preserve the institu-
tons under which this republic has
given the largest liberty and the Wild
est opportunities Of any country on
the face OF the globe. He does not
want to see them uprooted to crafty
the personal ambition of any man.
I'VE are facing not a political cam
paign but a national revolution" he
continues. The makers Of the Amer
lean Constitution were afraid of a
King, and their first safeguard against
him was the existence of the separate
states. Their second safeguard was
to divide the Federal power itself into
three independent and coordinate
branches-the executive, the leglsla-
~A'Es ZIG JuuASIdA. 4uc AT6I was given
to President, the second to Congress
and the third to the Supreme Court.
Now comes Roosevelt who wishes to
abolish the second safeguard, aud to
concentrate all power in the President,
and that President himself.
The Irish Standard applauds the
patriotic utterances of Fl. Yorke on
the presidential question and thanks
him for sounding the alarm against
Roosevelt, who has no reverence Tor
Congress or the Supreme Court but
would try to bulldoxe both and make
them subservient to his whims. Were
Roosevelt elected instead Of Wilson
or Taft, the country would 60 to the

AN instrument drawn up over fifty
years ago, and with which the Ala.
bama statesman had nothing to do,
for he was then mere child. Such
despicable argument is q feeble At
tempt to wave the bloody shirt"
That argument was used with effect
In past campaigns to catch the votes
Of the old soldiers, but it is now obso-
lete. 1t is good enough, however, "a
be revived for the farmers. Let us
hear more of this fellows claptrap:
1T is true, as Underwood says, that
the tariff taxes he describes are i'm
posed on articles such as he de-
scribes - wooden clothing, shoes, the
tin pail, window pane, carpet, etc., but
he is wholly and deliberately wrong
and misleading when he says that tho
duties in question are imposed on or
added to the cost of these articles, as
used in the ordinary American fam
lily. The man or woman who is salts
fled with the product of American la
bor-and nine-tenths of the American
people are SO satisfed-has no tariff
tax to pay, and this is shown by tha
fact that the American article, with
Its manufacture fostered by protec.
ton, Is often cheaper in price than
the imported would be without paw
ing tariff duties"
There is no use in replying to such
rigmarole. Every intelligent man
knows that until the rich pay their
proportion of the expenses of running
the national government by the i'm
position of an income tax, 1.-The ordi-
nary American family must bear the
burden. The two-fold object of a pro-
tective tariff Is to raise revenue and
enable the American manufacturers
to compete with foreign manufacture
ers. The higher the tariff on foreign
imports at the custom houses, the
hlgher the prices of the American
made articles to the American con
sumner. According to the Republican
platform of four years ago, the home
manufacturer in the adjustment OF the
tariff rates would receive the differ
ence between the cost of production
at home and abroad, plus a reason
able profit"
Is not the difference of cost of pro-
duction at home and abroad enough
without any other appendage? Plus
a reasonable profit indeed! The coun-
try Is crying out against the high cost
of living. That is to be got rid Of BY
reduction of duties levied on i'm
ported articles. The Republicans
pledged themselves to do that in 1903
but have not yet done so. The Demo-
cratic party will give the relief If
elected in November, not by free
trade, however, but by gradual re-
duction of schedules without disturb
ing the commercial and industrial
business Of the country. We ship
abroad in competition with foreign ma
tions without any benefit from Amer
lean tariffs; why cannot we compete
with foreigners in our markets? But
the pauper labor of Europe! Yes, the
paupers are now brought over to the
WOODEN mills of Lawrence, Mass, but
after working a few months and
breathing the air of freedom, tncir
chests expand and they strike for llv-
ing wages!
