Politics is responsible for consider
able of the hyphenism in our citizen
ship. Entirely too much stress has
been laid on the nationality of candi-
dates for office. Voters have been ap-
pealed to, not as Americans, but as
hyphenated citizens. Now, it is re-
ported that Fred B. Lynch, democrat
ic national committeeman from Min
nesota, is DESTROYS of having some
''worthy" Minnesota German democrat
appointed U. S. Marshal. There is no
reason in the world why a German
democrat could not fill the position as
well as any other democrat, but it
would be more patriotic and American
if the appointment were made without
mentioning nationality.

At this time it is hardly worth
while to discuss constitutional amend
ments that will be submitted to the
voters almost year hence save in
general way. Some of the amend
ments should be adopted and some of
them should certainly be rejected, but
until it is known in what order the
amendments will appear on the bal
lot it is impossible to discuss them in
such manner as to make the average
voter understand them. There are
two amendments, however, that there
should be no question about: the one
providing for a $25O,OOO revolving
fund for the improvement of state
lands, and the one that authorizes the
legislature to provide for the mining
and sale Of ore under the waters of
any public lake or river. The Union
will fight hard for the adoption of
these two amendments.

The Minneapolis Automobile club
has started a statewide campaign for
a revision of the motor statutes cover
ing the theft and borrowing" of ma
chimes. Under the present condition
Of the law, where persons take car
from the street without permission
the proof Of that fact will merely con-
vict them of misdemeanor, which is
punishable by workhouse sentence
Two men were recently found in pos
session Of car two days after
it had been stolen, but jury
refused to convict them of grand lar
ceny. Their defense was that they had
merely borrowed" the machine. This
is certainly the height Of ridiculous
ness. No sensible person would con-
slider applying the same principle to
thefts of other kinds of property, as
it would place premium upon crime.

A campaign for more concrete or
paved roads in Hennepin county is be-
ing waged by the Minneapolis Jour-
nal. In recent years there has been
a great change for the better in the
roads radiating from Minneapolis
northward and northwesterly, but
there is still room for: further i'm
provement. Most of the main travelled
have been gravel-surfaced,
but there is such an immense traffic
on some of these gravel roads that
they are costly to maintain. Con-
crete or paved main thoroughfares
are possible in Hennepin county be-
cause gifts large taxable valuation,
and without doubt would be the cheap
est in the long run, but for the state
at large, gravel-surfaced roads are
the best that can be expected. By
the way, the worst stretches of road be-
tween Princeton and Minneapolis dur
ing the summer and fall were within
the limits,of the latter city.

Ever since the passage of the county
option law at the last session of the
legislature, there have been rumors
afoat to the effect that the constitu-
tionality of that measure was to be
tested in the courts. Now it appears
that an action toward that end is
about to be started. Reports from
Bemidji are that M. A. Spooner, for
mer district Judge, will represent the
saloon men of International Falls in
test case which will be brought i'm
mediately in Koochiching county,
and probably will be argued be-
fore the supreme court January
II, after the present calendar of
cases has been cleared up. It is
extremely doubtful, however, if the
measure will be found unconstitution-
al. Had there been serious question
as to whether it conformed to the con-
stitution, the courts, in all probability
would have been afforded an oppor-
tunity to pass on it long ere this.

Proposed Road Meeting

It has been suggested by several
people from the north end of the coun=
ty that it might stir up interest in
road-improvement if public meeting
were to be held shortly after the first
of the year We are inclined to be-
lieve that much good would result
therefrom. If such meeting is held
a special effort should be made to have
as many as possible of the members Of
the town boards attend it, and thecoun-
ty commissioners should also be pres
ent. We believe it would be possible
to. have State Highway Engineer
Cooley deliver a talk. The county,
commissioners meet in annual session
on Tuesday, Jan. 4. Why wouldn't
that date be a good time to hold the
meeting? -r's ~ -

AMICABLY ADJUSTED.

Every friend of Duluth and St.
Louis county is heartily glad that an
amicable understanding has been
arrived at by the village authorities Of
Hibbing and the iron mining compan-
les. Concessions were made on both
sides. There is no doubt but what the
village authorities were trifle ex-
travagant, it is equally certain that
the mining companies were not alto
gether blameless for the strained rela-
lions that have existed for more than
a year past. A statewide interest
has been manifested in the contro-
versy which will doubtless result in
tonnage tax measures galore at the
next session of the legislature Just
how tonnage tax would have pre-
vented the dispute between the Hib--
bling authorities and the mining COM
panies is beyond our comprehension.
There is a disposition on the part Of
some people to find fault with State
Auditor Preus for failure to take ac-
ton when he was requested to re-
strain the mining companies from
mining or removing ore until the cur
rent taxes had been paid. As the
controversy is happily ended it is un-
necessary to thresh over old straw,
but, without going into details, we
have no hesitation in saying that, in
our judgment, the State Auditor acted
wisely in refusing to interfere.

labor, or floating fictitious and
watered stock, it is harmful to the
public and perilous to the nation
that harbors it. The highest de-
velopment Of civilization will be
attained by keeping open to indi-
= vidual enterprise the great ave-
nues of commerce and industry,
and by protecting labor in an in
dependent and prosperous condi-
ton, so that every man with rea-
sonable capital and ability and in
dustry can safely embark in some
of the branches of industry with
the hope of being something more
than an employee of a corpora
tion."
These extracts show the, breadth
and patriotism of the man, and that
his sympathies and efforts have been
always toward the assistance of those
who need it as measure of justice to
them and of the safety Of the nation.

Idaho has adopted a law which pro-
vides that any citizen who has lived
in the state not less than six months
and in the county at least 80 days, and
swears that he does not own property
exceeding a thousand dallors in value,
must be given work on the public
roads, if he demands it. But only for
go days during any one year. During
the other 3O5 days in the year he is
free to starve to death as many times
as circumstances warrant.-Red Wing

At that the plan might be worse.
In most states citizens are not afford
ed an opportunity to demand work for
even 60 days.

The supreme court last week upheld
verdict in the sum of $4,250, which
had been awarded railroad employee,
who lost an arm as the result of an
accident. The railroad company con-
tended that the verdict was excessive,
and that it had been returned one Sec
ond short Of the twelve hours deliber-
alton required of a two-thirds jury
verdict! AS an example of unadulter-
ated gall, this is certainly the limit.

II should be willing to give up my

In fact, the great social, economic and
political questions which, in this re-
markable period of American history,
confront the people Of the nation,
are worthy of any mans study and
attention, and Of the highest talent.
*.+To the study Of these questions

years past, and at present find them of
absorbing interest; but am not will
ing to seek the office, to beg for votes,
to organize self-seeking campaign,

campaign would go far to impair ones

That Mr.. Kellogg meant what he
said we have not the least doubt. He
does not pose for effect and there is
not particle Of the demagogue in his
makeup. We can we'll understand
why a vote-begging, self-seeking cam
paign would be distasteful to one of
his fine sensibilities and high ideas.
When a man Of his acknowledged abil-
ity and eminent fitness expresses his
willingness to relinquish his large pri-
vate business and devote his entire
time to the services Of the people such
a campaign on his part should not be
necessary, nor do we believe it would
be necessary. We have faith in the
people. They can be trusted to dis
tinguish between modest worth and
blatant mediocrity.
If gathering of representative re-
publicans from every county of the
state could be held to determine upon
candidate for United States sena-
tor there is no question in our mind
but what Frank B. Kellogg would be
the choice of an overwhelming major
ity of such gathering. But under
present conditions convention Of rep
resentative republicans is out of the
question.
