FROM OTHER PENS
BE A GOOD ANCESTOR.

In New York there is living the
grandson of a king. He is existing on
the charity of some benevolent but
poor women VIII ocan ill afford to sup
port him as they are doing. Apparent
~ his royal lineage makes it impossi-
Die for him to find employment or
aVerse to accepting such work as he
can f1nd to do. In any event the re-
suit is the same and he continues an
object of philanthropy. Ancestry has
slgnally failed in this case to provide
an orbit in which this Individual may
move with ease. 1t has failed to plant
within him that spirit which rises
superior to discouragements and en-
vironment. Ancestry, minus fortune
never does much for any man. 1t may
hand down a little inconvenient pride
which at some period may be a serious
handicap. This is not to say that ones
pedigree is to be despised. On the
contrary. if pedigrees are valuable in
the animal kingdom they are no less
valuable in the higher, human king
DOM But pedigree minus personal
achievement, personal worth will not
go far in the battle of life. So, with
out forgetting ones ancestry it is best
to think of being good ancestor one
to make posterity proud, rather than
to sink to the level of the weakling
grandson of king who lives on the
dole of poor women.-Detroit Free

BRYAN's PLEA FOR VOTES.

w. j. Bryan in his address at the
jamestown opera house. was specially
bitter in his attacks on Roosevelt and
the Republican leaders. He ridiculed the
idea that any national reforms could
come through the republican party and
attempted to force the notion on his hear
.ers that the only reform party in the
country was that which he representa-.
He declared that his resolution in the
Baltimore convention barring Belmont
Murphy and Ryan Of New York, had
eliminated the bosses" from the party;
but he failed to say anything about TIM
6ullivans Of Illinois, Taggarts Of Indk
ana, and others whose votes made WITT.

are all known to represent the very
worst elements in political manipulation,
and In their own states are anything
but what Bryan terms progressive"
Yet he now classihes them with pro
sressive democracy"
In his TRADE against the republicans,
Bryan declared that they had taken up
issues which had been forced on them
by former democratic platforms and
largely by himself In his previous pres
idential campaigns. SAll the way through

OUR NExr. .GovERNoR

AS the time passes and the excitement
incident to the peculiar political condl-
ton in North Dakota dies down 1t is
becoming more and more evident that
the voters Of the state recognize the
eminently proper thing to do is to throw
their full strength for the election Of
Hon. L. B. Hanna as governor. That
he was the choice Of a large majority
of the republicans for this position and
won out handsomely at the primaries en-
titles him to the united support Of the
party at the fall election. There is a
spirit Of fairness in the average voter
and he can see no logical reason for de-
parting from his political faith in North
Dakota this year.
In Mr.. Hanna the republicans nave an
ideal candidate. He Is q business man
Of broad experience, has been a practical
and successful farmer and in addition
has been identified with the political and
material advancement Of the state for
years. His legislative and congressional
experience will be of advantage to him in
conducting the office and guiding the
ship of state along the way Of progress.
AS man he has the fullest confidence
of the people, is clean and untrammeled
by any Of the influences that seek to
control politics to the detriment Of the
people. He will make the best governc.
the state has ever had. Vote for him.

! THE YoUNG,.Yl,olyrER.

The young voter is a biennial source
of considerable worry and solicitude on
the part ,sof the. energetic and !: careful
party campaign manager, Every two
years we hear the usual plea to get out
and secure the new crop Of first voters.
The competent campaign manager re-
cognizes that the new voters often turn
the tide Of political battle. Moreover,
whenever the fresh supply Of voters be-
gins falling into the ranks of the party
out of power there is trouble ahead for
the ms. The new voters mean active
takers, sincere believers in whatever
doctrine they espouse They mean en-.
thusiasm, fighting and the spirit which
makes a campaign warm up as the party
leaders desire. Usually the party lead,
ers, especially those who have become
accustomed to holding Office and run
ming things for years, grows careless OF
this crop Of new voters. They begin to
feel that the skies will always be bright,
that the wind will never blow, and pro-
violence has decided to give them life
job at running things. About this time
an undercurrent strikes the youthful
voters of the community gathers head
from the example Of the older party men
who want a change and the old compla-
cent officeholders wake up some morn
ing to find themselves buried under sew
eral feet of white faky ballots.
This will be the situation in Ramsey
county for the old republican leaders
unless they feel the call of the times and
proceed to get very, Very busy. instead
Of poking fun at the youthful voters,
they would be laying up treasurers ahead
of them If they asked him for his vote.
There are enough young men in Ram
sey county today to turn this county
either republican or democratic: They
will do it and unless the republican party
Of this section bestirs itself they will
turn it the wrong way. :.
Bring out before the young republican
of the county the real truths of republi-
can principles. Tell him the real record
of the republican party, give him infor.
nation so that he can tntellgently de-
fend the stand he takes. Don't feed him
on Civil war and the days of 81. Those
things won't interest him. He wants to

THE SHOT AT ROOSEVELT

welt at Milwaukee, last night, will bear

WILL BEAR WATCHING.

Standard Oil Archbold is indignant over
the demand Of Colonel Roosevelt that
the senate investigate the relations be-
tween the oil monopoly and Boise PEN
rose with view to expelling the Pen
sylvania senator. 1T is monstrous" he
declares.
If the money which Archbold admits
sending and Penrose admits receiving
was used for corrupt purposes, or If the
transaction placed federal officer under
improper obligations to the monopoly,
then Colonel Roosevelt Is right and the
Senate should expel Penrose. If this can
be proved. he is AZ bad AS: Lorlmer, ii
not worse. The Standard on company
did not donate $4,000 to PethHfbse and his
campaign with any patriotic motive Or
for any right purpose. It made an in
vestment and expected returns. :,

his address he patted Mr.. Bryan on the
back and tried to leave the impression
that the reforms which the republicans
have already brought about and those
progressive policies which are now advo-
Gated for the future were original Gre
-ations of Mr.. Bryan himself.
But those with longer memories recall
that most all Of the important reform
policies which both democrats and repub
licans are now adopting came from the
old populist party. A comparison Of the
1872 political platforms with the declara-
tions Of the populists 10 or % years ago
will show a striking similarity and re-
veal the source from which Mr.. Bryan
got the most of his democratic thunder
and progressive principles Of government.
Bryans attitude towards Roosevelt has
changed remarkably since the Baltimore
convention During the republican ma
tional convention at Chicago Bryan sat
on the platform and wrote daily articles
to the Chicago Tribune. signing. his name
to them. He praised what he called the
reform element in the convention. and
complimented Roosevelt repeatedly on
what Mr.. Bryan approved of. Now Bryan
is. out roasting Roosevelt and Is especial
.ly vindictive against him. charging him
with being the candidate Of the trusts
and representing the worst elements Of
his party. This sudden change Of atti-
tude on Bryan's part lays him open to
the plain charge Of insincerity and puts
him in the class of politicians who think
they see chance to win victory, and
will sacrifice principle for expediency.
1t might be well for t.ose who heard
Mr.. Bryan to stop and thing what posi-
ton the great commoner" would have
taken had Champ Clark been nominated
instead Of, Wilson. If Bryan was. sim
cere in his approval of the action of
what he called the progressive movement
in the republican party, led by Roosevelt
at the Chicago convention, would not
Mr.. Bryan have been compelled to sup
port Roosevelt in this campaign? Or
would he have found some excuse to re-
main with the democrats and make his
campaign speeches for Clark?
In his entire talk he failed to state
what practical benefits the success Of Mr..
Wilson would give to the people Of the
country, and gave no credit to the re-
publicans for any progressive legislation
or Tor the present prosperous conditions
that are found throughout the country

THE DIFFERENCE.
