no time to think about results when
the accident happens.-Eveleth
Clarion.
There Is something the matter
with US. Have you noticed how sell
dom we see and hear the words
that were used during Lincoln's
Cleveland's, Roosevelt's, Wilson's
and earlier times, such as truth
full, honest, straightforward, plain
spoken, sincere, and the words in
tegrity, candor; sincerity, honor
and character. The words we hear
now instead are: adroit, agile, clev-
er, deft, dexterous, ingratiating,
subtle, smart. There is point to the
expression, '"The Good Old Times"
-Glenwood Herald.
"The Constitution will be amend
ed many times to meet changing
needs" says August Erickson, of
the Springfield Advance-press, and
that is true. But he adds: "the peo-
pie will improve the Constitution
from generation to generation un-
til finally the old original will
scarcely be recognizable" and that
is not true. The science of govern
ment Is as old as human history,
and has run the whole gamut from
monarchy to democracy and back
again several times, and perhaps
there have been times when each
form was the best for such times
and such peoples. The American
form is different from any be-
cause of the balance it establishes
between the functions of govern
ment and between centralized and
local control. This balance cannot
be destroyed without destroying
the American form. It reflects the
political genius of the American
people, and if it be changed in this
essential respect, it will mean that
the American people have changed.
The American Constitution cannot
be improved" to a point where it
is scarcely recognizable" unless
the American people surrender to
a desire to again run the gamut of
the discarded forms of the past, or
are hypnotized into adopting the
alien forms Of other lands, and
such form when adopted, could
not with any appropriateness be
called the American Constitution.
In its essential principles-some of
which the present administration
have come dangerously near flout-
ing-the American Constitution Is
as non-amendable as a rule in
mathematics.-Mor Tribune.

Radicals Losing Ground
From Our Exchanges

A Minnesota man who Is not a
Republican, but who has been
studying conditions in Western
Minnesota, declares that it looks
very much like a Republican vic
tory this fall. He says: II was sur
prised to find a decided reaction
away from the Farmer-Labor par
ty, and I am sure from what I was
told that four of the counties in
Western Minnesota that went for
Olson two years ago are absolutely
certain for Nelson this year." The
same news comes from other Far
mer-Labor strongholds. Young Mr..
Benson with all his publicity Is not
making the hit with the farmers
that he was expected to. The rad
ical wave is receding. The fine pro.
misses of the state administration
have not been kept. Taxes have
gone up until the burden is OPP
pressive. And 1t is beginning to be
apparent to common observers that
the Farmer-Labor party for all its
fine promises Is just as selfish, and

Imports, Because of Drouth, Will Be Large

few DAYS ago an Associated Press dispatch
quoted Department of Agriculture officials saying
that Secretary Wallace is gravely concerned the
July drouth damage because of rapid deterioration
of the crop in most of the principal producing
regions.
Owing to drouth in this community which will,
no doubt, a severe corn shortage, it will be
necessary to ship large amounts of the golden ears
to for feed This situation does not exist in this
community alone, but throughout the entire United
States according to recent dispatches This will make
necessary imports of corn on large scale, in fact it
is estimated that imports may exceed those OF 1885,
when 43,242,oOo bushels of corn from foreign coun-
tries found their way to our markets to take the
place of what should have been raised on American
soil.
AS was the case in 1884 the present shortage of
and other farm products resulting from the
drouth is made more acute because of the policy OF
restricting production In 1885 the total value of all
farm imports reached the unprecedented figure Of
81 391 099 397 which foreign farmers reaped the
benefits. They will again reap the benefits this year
by being called upon to supply the deficiency caused
by restriction and drouth.
Besides corn and wheat, we imported last year in
round numbers 10 million bushels of oats, 10 million
bushels of rye million bushels of barley SO million
pounds of rice 800 million pounds of barley malt y
million pounds of butter, and equally large quanti-
ties of other products to compete with our farmers
And, yet in the coming campaign we will hear lot
about helping the farmer OF course there is no ar
gument for this year the drouth has made 1t i'm
perative that immediate aid be given to the stricken
communities.
Conservation of crops in bumper fat years could
have averted shortages in lean years. which must be
markets of crops by government loans, prices
could have been made worthwhile. One only need
look to the Good Book for that advice.

Smoking Out Nelson?

According to Senator Elmer A. Benson Republic
cans of the state have secret tax program to be
enacted following the adoption of Amendment No.
g. designed for the purpose of relieving real estate
of state tax levies. This proposed amendment will
be submitted to the voters in the next general cleo
ton as an amendment to Article 9, Section !, of the
constitution of the State of Minnesota and contains
the following provisions
provided further that after January I, 1887, no
tax shall be imposed any real tangible personal
property for state purpose, except that author
lied by Section &c. of Article g. of this constitution
and or the payment of Indebtedness of the state,
incurred prior to January 1887; but this proviso
shall limit but the state shall have, the right to
impose taxes on royalties occupations sales receipts,
incomes, inheritances, gifts privileges franchises or
licenses upon property the basis OF gross earn
ings or tonnage, upon intangbles of every kind"
The substance of the above amendment is the
elimination of the state property tax levy except the
mill road and bridge tax and such levies as may
be necessary for payment of Indebtedness of the
state incurred prior to January 1, 1887"
The proposed amendment, believe, does not
go far enough as it does not provide complete ex-
pendture control However the smoking out process
attempted by Senator Benson in his campaign
against Martin Nelson will not get very far at least
so it seems from the following editorial from the
Democratic St Cloud Times:
Elmer Benson thinks Martin Nelson Is
supporting the ousting of the state tax
farms and homes Both would use good judg-
ment in getting behind this proposed amend
ment and giving the farm and home owners
relief from the spending rush of the present
Farmer-Labor administration Benson says
instead of reducing the tax on the little fell
lows, the home owner and farmer, it would
effect for them decided tax increase" AS
the only tax they pay is one on personal pro-
perty and their homes farms, If that Is
reduced how is that going to effect decided
increase? If you take off 1890 mills from
mans taxes, how is that going to boost it?
