An exchange gravely asserts as a
matter of fact that nine-tenths of the
republicans of Minnesota do not know
who they favor for president. A gen.
eral statement by the writer explain
ing how and why that percentage of
voters confded their perplexities to
him would have lent an air of accuracy
to the assertion indispensable to writ
ings that are convincing. Minnesota
republicans usually know who and
what they want.

There are but two more issues of the Times
previous to the village election. We persist in
the belief that no man should go into the
game unless he has first made up his mind
that he will not get mad if the result should
be contrary to what he desires. These blamed
little enmities due to local politics do town
more harm than any other one feature. A
town can become thoroughly at loggerheads
with itself by allowing feeling of distrust
and bitterness to obtain. -Biwabik Times
The above applies with equal force
to Princeton, and all the villages of
the state as we'll. A hundred years
hence no. one will know or. care who
were elected to- office in Minnesota
municipalities during the spring of
1916.

In politics the nationality or relig-
ious beliefs or disbeliefs of a candi-
date for public favor should never be
considered. The essential qualifica-
tons are honesty and ability. What
does it matter where man was born,
at what shrine he worships, or wheth-
er he worships at any, provided he is
honest, efficient and a loyal American
citizen? An appeal to racial preju-
dice or religious bigotry is nauseating
to all intelligent, right thinking Amer
lean citizens be they native or foreign
born.

Fewer men lost their lives mining
coal in the United States during 1915
than in any year Of the past eight, and
the death rate per 1000 men employed
was the lowest in 16 years This is the
gratifying showing for the "safety
first" movement which has swept over
the country, and it is to be hoped that
other hazardous industries have as
good a record.

NJ. S. Norelius of the Chisago Coun-
ty Press has the right idea. He thinks
it is high time that newspapers should
cease to advocate the election of men
of mediocre ability for important pub
lie positions, and adds: "The Press
hereafter will adopt this program un-
qualifedly and will not boost anyone
for public office, be this for national,
state or county positions, unless they
are mentally fit to be considered"

If the republicans of the Tenth con-
gressional district send such men as
Henry Rines and William Henry Eus-
tbs to represent them in the republican
national convention they will make no
mistake. And if the republicans Of the
state at large send such men at J. F..
jacobson, Frederick C. Stevens, A.
A. D. Rain, James Manahan and Mar
Gus Johnson, they will be we'll and ably
represented.

The demon rum is gradually giving
away to efficiency. Hereafter en-

means dismissal, provided the heads

with violations of the order. Phila-

keenness in the conduct of municipal
affairs that seriously threatens it's

The st. Paul Outdoor Sports Carni-
val did not meet with the approval Of
certain of the state papers, as the fear
was expressed that undesirable pub
licity would result-that Minnesota
would be heralded far and wide as a
region of huge snow banks, glaciers
and a shivery temperature. The last
issue of Golfers contained several
views taken during the progress of the
carnival, including one showing Is
pretty and vivacious st. Paul Misses,
clad in becoming outdoor attire, and
fairly radiating health and happiness.
The other pictures were not Of a ma
ture calculated to brighten anyone,
and it is doubtful if such a one could
be taken in Minnesota either in win
ter or summer The carnival was the
biggest festival of its kind ever held
in the United States, and as an adj
vertising stunt should prove a winner.

MYSTERIOUS FIRE
DAMAGES LAUNCH

At 1926 o'clock last night trucks
were summoned to South Palafox
street because of a fire which sud-
denly broke out aboard a launch In
the slip. reported TO be the property
of N. Goldring. The flames were
confined to the one craft mentioned,
but the slip was well-filled with q
large number Of small boats, all Of
which were menaced by the spread
ing flames. The launch was badly
damaged.
There was some mystery about ths
fire on the launch, which bore the
name of Cook" It appears that
when the firemen reached the scene
and made an investigation, there was
evidence of gasoline having been
spilled in the boat, but whether or
not this was intentional, and that
someone had deliberately tried to de-
stroy the craft, was not proven.

SHERIFF WILL co
AFTER DEALERS

Sheriff A C. Ellis yesterday APP
pointed two special deputies who are
duly authorized and empowered to IN
spect all county and state licenses,
and these special deputies will start
out probably today. They are N. Mex.
Oerting and Theodore Pfellerle, both
of whom know the city well, and who
will probably make good officials.
The sheriff, In publications over his
signature, announced m the latter
part Of October, that he was going to
keep off all license payers until after
the first day of November, after
which he proposed to go to work and
enforce the license law to the letter.
The sheriff had been told that the
county had lost thousands of dollars
every year by failure of a number
to take out licenses, but he proposes
that such condition will no longer be
permitted In this city and county.
Messrs. Oerting and Pfeferle have
been furnished with complete list of
every line Of business, occupation, etc.
calling for q state and county license,
and with these lists, with instructions
to enforce the law on all alike, it is
forecasted that the county will get
licenses from all classes.

Aviator Formerly
In Allied Aerial Corps

Lieutenant p. RAIDER, who is test
ing the new Curtiss flying boats at
the aeronautic station here, was In
active service in the Allied Flying
Corps for over a year, both in Lon
don and on the French front. Since
coming to this country he has &C
cepted the position as head of the
Curtiss school which viii be estab-
lished soon at Miami and will pos
sibiy leave for that city within a few
days, as soon as the tests here are
complete.
The machines which Lieut. RAIDER is
testing were sent here under the re-
cent order Of the navy department.
and constitute part Of the class OF
thirty of this type which were or
d@ed. Tests on the first one of the
several arrivals, were completed yes
terday afternoon, and Lieutenant Ra-
der will Immediately start trying out
some of the others.
In discussing his experiences in the
aerial corps to The Journal yester-
day, Lieut.. RAIDER stated that Or sew
eral months he was in the British
flying corps, assigned to protect Lon
don from Zeppelin attack, and to
chase off the monsters in night raids
To do this, Lieut. RAIDER stated that
q squadron of airplanes would as
cend to different heights, each piloted
by single operator, whose duty il
was to work the machine gun also
The sole object of the defenders, he
stated, was to get above the raidine
Zeppelin, and bomb them from above
otherwise, unless close enough fol
gun fire, the work was of no avail.
For this work." said Lieut.. RAIDER
''the airplane is at mechanical dis
advantage, for the fastest of them cal
rise only from 1000 to 1900 feet ;
minute, while the Zeppelins can as

reason should the Zeppelin see thu

in order to bomb it, it is more thai
likely to be successful"

shots are taken with mathematical
readings, and not from sight, and
while the damage, he said, il ccnr
paratively slight, the deadly accuracy
has been often proven.
A peculiar feature Of the night

the manner in which the airplanes il
Illuminated the surroundings should

Every seventh shot in the machine

before Lille. which was held by the
Germans. The air scouts were or.

German positions, and keep the main
batteries informed on any change in

the airplanes were subjected to direct
gun fire, by anti-aircraft guns.
