Straggle for the 'Square Deal," as in
Lincoln't Day, Is Against Privilege.
Chicago News.
This is essentially a people's contest.
On the side of the union it is a struggle
for maintaining in the world that form
and substance of government whose
leading objeet is to elevate the condi
tion o menj to lift artificial weights
from all shoulders to clear the paths
of laudable pursuit of all to afford all
an unfettered start and a fair chance
in the race of life.
In these words did President Lincoln,
addressing congress, which he had
called into special session on July 4,
1861, to assist in saving the union, de
clare for a square deal. The rare in
sight that enabled him to riddle with
unanswerable logic the elaborately
wrought sophistries on which had
been erected the fabric of the
secession movement disclosed to
him that, in essence, privilege
was at war with equality. He
drew inspiration from the significant
fact that while multitudes of officers
of the army and navy, trained at the
nation's expense and intrusted with im
portant commands, left their stations
and went over t'o the side of the rebel
lion, not a private soldier, not a com
mon sailor, turned rebel, instinctively
those who had never tasted the sweets
of privilege remained true to the cause
of the masses.
Slavery and the enormous power of
privilege based upon that institution
were wiped out together. Yet the peo
ple now, as in Lincoln's day, face the
problem of staying" the hands of privil
ege, of lifting artificial weights from
all shoulders, of clearing the paths of
laudable pursuit for all. Lincoln's
words his first inaugural address,
to those who had taken up arms against
the government, are as true in this later
struggle as they were forty-five years
ago: "You can have no conflict with
out being yourselves the aggressors."
Lincoln asked nothing of the slave
holding element except that it stay in
the union and conform to the laws o
the union. Today corporate wealth
has come into collision with the gov
ernment because it has been guilty of
lawless aggressions. It has only to
cease those aggressions in order to be at
peace.
RESOURCEFUL ARIZONA
The Far West Territory Rich in For
ests, Minerals and Fertile Soil.
S. M. Hall in the Out West.
Arizona has the largest and most val
uable forest in the United States
probably the largest unbroken forest
area in the world, covering 10,0001
square miles. She has the largest tract
of agricultural land west of Kansas,
and, with the completion of the Tonto
reservoir (the largest artificial lake in
the world), will have under cultivation,
with ample water, as much land as is
farmed in all southern California from
the Tehachepi to San Diego.
The investigations of the government
reclamation service have shown that,
spite of the tradition of her impenetra
ble mountains and barren deserts,
nearly one-half the land in Arizona is
capable of cultivation, and with water
woud be immensely productive.
Various water storage projects will,
in time, create rich and valuable farm
ing districts in regions now given over
almost wholly to grazing and mining
but the utmost now projected will leave
great areas still unreclaimedand to be
reclaimed onlv by some means now un
foreseen, as" in the beautiful valley
below the town of Naco on the El Paso
& Southwestern railroad, a constantly
enlarging tract is irrigated with the
water that is pumped from a mine some
miles distant, and the resulting farm
is one of the finest in the territory.
The' underflow water of Arizona is
practically unknown and undeveloped,
and it may be hoped, will play no small
part in the agricultural development of
the future.
$43,800 FOR FIVE ART FANS
Fans of Blades of Ivory, Too Heavy for
a Woman's Hand.
Chicago Examiner.
George A. Kessler bought the art
fans or Alexander Blumensteil's collec
tion for $48,800. These art fans were
the most interesting works of the col
lection's sale at Mendelssohn hall in
New York in the view of many persons.
In the view of many other persons
these tirt fans were execrable. They
said that these art fans were neither
art nor fans. They were artincial
classifications of sketches by painters
of contradictory schools. They were
discords.
They were not fans at all. They
were large and long blades of ivory,
tod heavy for a woman's hand. They
were tipped with gold, mounted on gold
and spread around a semicircle as
sticks of fans are, but they could not
be folded.
They were spread under glass in
semicircular black frames. The auc
tioneer announced that the buyer of
the first art fan had the privilege of
buying the four others for the same
price. The first fan brought $8,800.
Mr. Kessler waived the privilege. He
paid $6,200 for that second art fan,
$8,100 for the third, $8,100 for the
fourth and $12,600 for the fifth. Thus
he saved $200. But the fan for which
he paid $12,600 had no more artistic
value than the one for which he paid
$6,200.
HIS DUTY DONE.
Philadelphia Ledger.
'And you say the senators are all rogues?"
"Most of them, yes," answered the magazine

MURDER CONNECTS
WITH OLD CRIME
CONFESSION MAY LEAD TO AR
REST OP HALEY'S SLAYEB.
Morrison County, Minn., Authorities
Find Clue that Is Expected to Clear
Mystery Surrounding Death of Parm
er Haley Near Motley Last Week.
Special to The Journal.
Fergus Falls, Minn* April 9.The murder of
Patrick Haley, the wealthy bachelor, whose dead
body was found beneath a pile of refuse near
Motley, and the circumstances surrounding the
crime, recall the fact that in the confession of
Adelbert Qoheen, who was hanged here' thirteen
years ago for the murder of Rosa Bray, it was
stated that Haley was one of the persons robbed
by the Goheen gang. The confession, which
was made a short time before the exeoution,,
claimed that Goheen's brother, Anderson, was
responsible for the murder of the Bray girl. If
half the things told in the confession were true,
the Goheens were on a par with the notorious
Bender family A dozen murders, arson, bur
glary, counterfeiting and almost every crime in
the calendar were laid to the door of the gang
by Adelbert, who said its operations covered
the states of Iowa, the northern part of Min
nesota and North Dakota. Haley, according to
this confession, was robbed of $750 in money
and $100 in jewelry.
The circumstances surrounding the murder of
Haley have led people here to believe that pos
sibly a member of the gang, which was broken
up after Adelbert Goheen's execution, had re
turned to the scene of its former operations and
had again selected Haley as a victim. This
theory Is being investigated by the authorities,
who are inquiring into the murder. Some of
the gang are known to be still living, altho it
is not positively known that any of them have
been in this vicinity of late years.

mary of delegates from eachuoounty to the state
convention of the party, which convention is
made a part of the formal nominating machinery
of tbe state, and which must be conducted under
state laws. Any part} which cast 5 per cent of
the total vote in the state for governor at the
last election is a political party within the
meaning of the law, and none others are entitled
to its privileges. Under this- regulation there
are but two parties in the state, the republican
and democratic, and the provisions of the law are
so vague that the method of organising new par
ties hereafter is left largely to the imagination.
Delegates to the respective state conventions
are to be elected by counties at large. It is
generally believed that the republican committee
will apportion the delegates, one for every 100
votes east for representative 'candidates of the
party at the last election, as this will result in
a convention of approximately 500 members,
which is generally considered large enough.
Roughly speaking, on a basis of one delegate per
100 votes, Grand Forks county will be entitled
to 26 delegates, Cass to 38 and Ward to 40.
Machine Men and Insurgents.
It is certain that in the average county there
will be a struggle for control of the county dele
gation, if not in the interest of rival candidates
from that c"ounty, then in the interest of the
state machine or against it. There will thus be
at least two groups of candidates for the posi
tion of delegate to the state convention, one
supported by it, and the other representing
what is known as the insurgent element of the
republican party. That means that in each of
the larger counties there will be from twenty
to forty candidates from whom selection must
be made "by the voter at the primary election.
These candidates will be distributed all over
the county. Most of them will be men of whom
the average voter never heard, and of whom he
knows nothing more than what some of his
fi lends have told him Just prior to the primary
election.
It is manifest that under these conditions the
average voter will be unable to make an intelli
gent selection from among these numerous can
didates on their merits as individuals. Should
he attempt to do so he would find himself hope
lessly at sea. Xt,4s easy to foresee what will
be done. The state machine, whjfh^has its lieu
itenants In every county, will make up Its slate
and the workers In-every^paift ofthe couuty wil
be instructed to urge on the voter* to* vote fo
that particular list of candidates, 6o
matter
whether the individuals" are knbwn to 'ihe vtJter
or not.
The insurgents will be obliged to follow the
same course. The candidates will be chosen
by the committees of the rival factions, alter
-suitable conference with local and representative
men, for their sympathy with the cause of that
faction, and the voters wiU vote, not for Individ
uals, but for issues as they understand them, the
candidates simply representing the issues.
Just what precise method of fixing the names
of desirable candidates in the minds of the vot
ers will be adoptted is a matter that does not
seem to have been worked out. Whether each
voter will be supplied with a list of candidates"
who are acceptable to Ms element of the party,
or whether slickers will be used, as they may
legally be, is a matter for future decision.
Secret Ballot Unpopular.
Another feature which hes been unfavorably
commented upon, and which is extremely un
popular, is the provision of the law which calls
for a secret ballot in convention. All state
candidates are to be nominated in the state con
vention, but no one may know how the delegates
to the convention vote on the nomination of any
candidate. Attempts have been made to justify

of the ballot, it Is urged, is regarded as a sacred
thing, to protect which we devise all sorts of
expedients, and the entire Australian ballot law
is predicated on the idea that the votes alone
has a right to know for whom his vote is cast.
Hence, reason the defenders of the secret vote
in convention, the delegate should vote In secret.
This reasoning does not appear to hare great
weight in the state, as it seems to be fully un
derstood that while the individual voter at the
polls acts for himself alone and is ansWera^e
to himself alone for the manner in
which his vote is cast, the delegate in conven
tion is the t'gent of the people who sent him
there, pnd his principals are entitled to the full
est knowledge concerning every act of their
agent, that they may know whether or not he

Conventions Called Early to Stop Gov
ernor Cummins' Speaking Campaign.
SIOUX CITY, IOWA.Managers of the cam
paign of George D. Perkins of Sioux City
for the republican nomination for governor, have
executed a shrewd move by having early con
ventions called in counties all oyer the state
where they fear Governor Cummins may make
an impression by his speaking campaign. In
most of the state, the organisation is opposed
to the governor and consequently it has been
easy for his opponents to select the dates The
governor is new devoting all his time to speak
ing, and, whethe" he makes converts or not, is
drawing big crowds everywhere. As Cummins
is without a strons organization, he has every
ing to gain by a long campaign that will enable
him to get around the state.
Some of the early conventions that have been
called by the opponents of Governor Cummins are
as follows: Monona, April 16. Woodbury, April
16 Dickinson, April 21 Emmet, April 21 Win
neshiek, April 17, Hancock, April 16 Fayette,
April 23 Calhoun, April 28, Oerro Gordo,
April 21.
In Cerro Gordo and Hancock counties It is said
by the Cummins men that the standpatters are
inVolving the congressional campaign with the
gubernatorial campaign Five candidates are in
the field against Haugen, and the fact that con
gressional and state delegations are to be
selected at tbe same conventions is used by the
Cummins men to dispute the declaration of
Senator Gale that the governorship would not
enter into the congressional fight.

PIERRE, S D.-Articles of incorporation will
be filed soon for the Walworth County Building
association of Bangor, with G. H. Hoffman
and other Bangor citizens as incorporators. This
organization is the outgrowth of the county seat
fight in Walworth comity, in which the records
were captured and taken from Bangor to Selby.
At tbe time the records were removed the
old building used as a courthouse at Bangor
was demolished, and when the court decided
that the records must be returned to Bangor.no
building was to be found to hold them. The
county commissioners refused to erect one at
countv expense at Bangor, and the corporation
is formed to provide a structure for that pur
pose.

BURLINGTON, IOWA.Workmen tearing
down an old porch on the farm of J. F. Deems,
near this city, had a desperate battle with
snakes in which sixteen of the reptiles were

part of the workmen. The snakes were discov
ered in an abandoned well, which was nearly full
of various varieties of the reptiles. The battle
lasted nearly two days, and some of the snakes
killed measured five feet In length. They in
cluded blue racers, black snakes, water moc
casins and other varieties, some comparatively
harmless, while others were of the most venom
ous kin.

Arrests Were MadeAc-
cidental Death Probable.
Sioux Falls, S. D., April 0 The mystery sur
rounding the disappearance in this city on the
evening of Feb. 1 last of Chris Sven, a farmer
whose home was near Humboldt, was solved
yesterday by the finding of bis body in tbe Big
Sioux river in the northern part of the city.
The city authorities made persistent effoits
to unravel the mystery surrounding Sven's dis
appearance, and several weeks ago tbe county
commissioners engaged Edward J. Hargrove, a
Chicago detective, to work on the case.
As the result of evidence secured by the detec
tive aftei about two weeks' effort, on March 5,
twent-fou residents of Sioux Falls,, twenty
men and four women, were arrested on suspicion
of knowing something concerning the supposed
murder of the missing man. They were put thru
the "sweating" process, but nothing tending to
throw light on the mystery could be ascer
tained, and the authorities released the sus
pects.
Dog Finds Body.
While two boys were fishing in the river yes
terday forenoon north of the Sixth street bridge
a dog belonging to one of them swam out into
the stream and grasped with Us teeth what ap
peared to be floating clothing. This was turned
over by the. dog and the boys saw it was the
body of a man
The police were notified and Chief Nelson iden
tified the remains as those of Sven.
In the pockets of the dead mah was a bank
book, with the writing almost obliterated^by the
action of the water, a little over $1 in cash, a
pocket knife, a pipe and an empty tobacco sack.
The theory is that Sven walked or fell into
the river on the evening of bis disappearance.

Special to The Journal.
Green Bay, Wis., April .Tbe first term t
the federal court held in this city since terri
torial days closed with an unusual Incident. Iir
the case of Joseph Landwebr, charged with out*
ting timber off the Oneida reserve. Judge Qnarles
imposed tbe minimum sentence of a $25 fine, and
the jurors, feeling that they had done their
duty in finding tbe man guilty, stIH were moved
by sympathy of his poverty and immediately
started to raise the necessary sum among them
selves, attorneys, marshals and court attendants.
They raised $17 and Landwehr made up the
balance.
An important question was brought up by At
torney J. A. Kittell, who questioned the author
ity of the government to prosecute the cases of
Hill and Stevens for carrying liquor on the
Oneida reservation. Kittell held that by reason
of the granting of citizenship to the Indians
they are amenable only to the laws of the
state. A decision on the issue will be made
later.
At a banquet given in honor of Judge Qoarles
of Milwaukee by the Brown County Bar asso
ciation to celebrate the return of tbe federal
