Where Are the Antis?
When Oklahoma and Indian Territory
shall have been admitted as the forty
sixth state and the final status of Ari
zona and New Mexico have been fixed,
we shall have run out of material for
the making of states. The ultimate
number of states is, therefore, under
fifty, this notwithstanding the fact that
we have taken in immense expanses of
territory since the mountain states
were admitted to the union. "We have
Alaska, the Philippines, Hawaii, Guam,

to enter upon the flag.
We have slipped into the habit of
dependencies quite comfortably, it

"Prnstin-g t3a.e Legislature.
Mr. Louis O. FOBS of Elbow Lake, a
former member of the legislature, made
an unsuccessful effort at the republican
state convention to prevent the indorse
ment of the "wide-open" tax amend
ment which is to be voted on at the
coming general election. He has since
come out with a statement of his rea
sons for opposing the amendment.
The objections raised by Mr. Poss
are not new. They were threshed over
during three sessions of the legislature.
The facts as he states them are cor
rect. The proposed amendment will
sweep aside all restrictions and all
mandatory provisions in the constitu
tion. It will leave everything "wide
open." According to Mr. Poss, this is
an entering wedge for the single tax,
and for an era of discrimination which
will throw all the burden on the farmer
and the poor man, while the rich man's
moneys and credits will escape.
That argument assumes that succeed
ing legislatures will be either ignorant
or venal, and entirely dominated by the
"money power." It means that we
cannot trust the legislature to deal
fairly with the people of the state.
The proposed amendment will not nulli
fy any existing law. It will only make
it possible to enact new laws to reach
property that has been escaping taxa
tion, to assess an income tax, and other
wise to reach forms of wealth that
have been escaping their just burden.
The constitution as it stands is full
of legislation, which is restrictive in
its form, and has no place there. The
amendment will clear away restric
tions. Judging by the past, the farm
ers of the state do not need to fear
giving the legislature a free hand.
Their representatives control the legis
lature, and there is more danger of
legislation bearing down on the
moneyed interests of the cities than of
anything that will injure the farmer.
If the legislature cannot be trusted to
pass tax laws that will be fair to the
common people of the state, then it is
time to abolish the legislature.
cult, which
^was quite brisk at one time, has plac
id tically died out. Even Mr. Bryan visits
the Philippines and calmly views the
1 question of their disposal as one of
administrative consideration. The an

out what they would do about it if they
bad-the powerr
There was the rub with the anti
imperial business. The Philippines ex
ist. They cannot be wiped off the
map. They cannot be turned adrift.
They cannot be sold. They cannot be
admitted to the union. After boxing
the compass of possibilities the anti
imperialists probably came back to the
starting point and discovered that they
would have to do about as the govern
ment is doinggovern the islands and
try to fit them for setting up business
for themselves. The singular silence
of the antis is a-rather significant con
fession that theid object could not be
accomplished by a proclamation. It re
quires work, study, investigation, ad
ministration. It calls for statesman
ship, and lots of it. There is very
little room in the problem for speeches
which distress the welkin. Therefore
the anti-imperialists have quit the iob.

Dealing with the Erring.
That great friend of the people,
Elkins, will be much grieved to learn
w,hat a lively interest the country is
taking in getting rebaters into jail.
He built his great bill upon the theory
that it was much better to catch the
graft than to catch the grafter. He
stood it upon the proposition that the
railroads and the beef barons and the
rest of them would be terrorized by a
l"w which would enable the courts to
fine them "the limit," as the police
court haJ
it* But strange as it may
seem, everr 'el* regulated police court
likes to hav oc-id of law under
the desk which rentes the power of
the court to impose a straight jail sen
tence. Every little while the court
draws this "weepin" and does it with
dramatif effect.
The Thomas arid Taggart cases, in
which two comparatively unknown (to
Wall street) brokers were given a jail
sentence, coupled with the rumor that
six icemen in Toledo have gotten a
year in the workhouse, has made the
country quite ready to sit up and an
ticipate its Fourth of July. The ques
tion has been asked why the country
is not treated to something more in
this line why obscure Taggarts, if
theTe ?re any obscure Taggarts after
the last presidential campaign, are
picked out and the bigger fellows let
go with a fine.
Softly the government has not
played out. Nor is it standing still in
Washington. The Burlington road was
convicted under the ever to be blessed,
by the defendants, Elkins law. There
was no provision in it for put
ting anybody in jail nor even of
having anybody measured by the Ber
tillon system. But when Thomas and
Taggart came to the scratch the gov
ernment iridicted them for conspiracy.
It seemed that it was their regular
business to arrange rebates. Therefore,
it became possible to convict them un
der a statute which was not made for
defendants, but for business.
The federal government has now
gotten a line on how to do it. There
is just a possibility that the Elkins
law may be laid away in cotton bat
ting lest the poor thing break itself
and the conspiracy laws be taken up
as the club for rebaters.
This is quite a-government. It some
times gets am idea thru its head. One
seems to be pecking at the shell at
this very moment.

Bryan's Tlwo Horses.
Mr. Bryan's remark about controlling
trusts, that you might as well attempt
to control burglary, will have a ten
dency to knock the rim off his newly
acquired halo of conservatism,

It does not define trusts, it flpeff not

State Auditor Iverson disclaims any
hostility to the government forest
service in the successful campaign to
secure for the state 150,000 acres of
Bwamp land in the Leech Lake Chip
pewa reservation. The state authori
ties were only contending for title to
land which will now belong"to the state
school and institution funds. In that
they were doing their duty, strictly,
'ihey have recovered considerable land
b-arhig timber, and other land which
when drained will bring the state a
good price.
It happens that a good share of this
land had been set aside by the govern
ment, with other large tracts, as part
of the Leech Lake forest reserve. It
is now lost to the reserve and trans
ferred to the care of the state. The
reserve was selected by government
employees, and while they doubtless
erred in picking out some good agri
cultural land, there is no doubt about
the bulk of it being better fitted for
tree-raising than for farming purposes.
The state should make a careful exam
ination of this land. Any tracts that
will be turned by drainage into fertile
farms should be handled to that end,
but land that will not make good
farms should be administered by the
state on forestry principles. Such land
will bring the state bigger revenue,
as The Journal has already ob
served, if devoted to tree raising, than
if left lying idle waiting purchasers
that will never come. Every such
tract, furthermore, will be an addi
tional safeguard against the timber
famine that threatens the next genera
tion in Minnesota. A wise administra
tion of the lands held in trust for the
state school fund will not neglect prac
tical use of forestry.
The number of men who have gone
abroad to meet Bryan is hardly enough to
elect him, but some of them are about
enough to defeat him.
It's IPp to Congress.
Congress hopes to adjourn Saturday
night and the country is sustained and
soothed by tbe s&me hope which am
mates congress, But at the same 1 ime
the country is not interested merely in
the adjournment of the national legis
lature. It wants congress to do its work
before it adjourns. That work now con
sists chiefly in the passage in good
shape of the rate bill and the meat bill,
the pure food bill having been disposed
of by agreement in conference.
Debate upon these questions has been
exhausted. There is now no reason
why congress should not act upon them.
They are in conference and why they
^are not *out -gf conference perhaps the
^p^rs of cdfegfess can tell. The de_.
lay is a mystery to the country. There
may be some deep politics going on
under the surface. If there is the peo
ple will learn about it.
The country is in no mood for trifling
with the grave subjects which have
been put to congress by the recom
mendations of the president backed by
an overwhelming sentiment in the
country. Any congressman who as
sumes that the country is in a state of
hysteria and must be given timet to re
cover its sanity will'fiad that \ie has
missed the -true viewpoint if he lends
himself, to laying over either of these
bills or to their passage in an emascu
lated form. The country is no't hysteri
cal. It is quite sane and perfectly
calm, but it is determined.

What la the "Normal" Republican Ad

from the Sixth District cSntestDem
ocrats Will Make No Contest In a Ma
jority of Legislative Districts.
The Crookston Times is persistent in
Its caution to republicans' against ov&r
conflden^e in this campaign, and protests
against the "40,000- -Talla-cy.-** -which de
clares that the party has a normal ma
jority of 40,0000 In an off year. With the
exception of 1902, when Van Sant swept
the state on the merger issue by 56,000,
the largest plurality received by a repub
lican candidate for governor since 1888,
over the oombined democratic and popu
list vote, was 6,000, the Nelson plurality
in 1894 over Owen and Becker. From
this the Times reckons that the normal
republican advantage as to governor is
less than 5,000 votes.
That is one way of looking at it, but
such defection as the, republican party
experienced in the three Lind campaigns
and the J.904 campaign Is hardly normal.
It is due to peculiar conditions. The
head of the ticket is 'always cut, and
even in 1902 the other candidates got
larger pluralities than the governor, but
the normal republican plurality in an off
year is no less than 60,000. There will
have to be a^delection^of at least 20 per
cent in the republican vote to wipe out
this advantage.
C. S. Benson of St Cloud has with
drawn from the congressional race in the
sixth district, making the second St.
Cloud man to shy at congressional hon
ors this year. This leaves B. Buck
man and A. Lindbergh, both of Little
Falls, to fight it out. In a letter of ex
planation Mr. Benson says that he was
prevented by illness from starting on a
canvass after his announcement, and
meantime another entered the field. He
thinks it best for the party that the suc
cessful candidate should receive a clear
majority, and as this may not happen in
a three-cornered fight, lie pulls out It
has-been clear since Lindb&rgh's entry
that the race would be between him and

more votes from Lindbergh than he would
from. Buckman, so the withdrawal Is no

Johnson. The democrats hope to make
a better showing than they did in the. last
legislature, when they had only twenty
two out of 182 members, but they say
that if they should elect every one of
their legislative nominees this fall they
would still lack a good deal of controlling

the title indicates, it Is In the form of a

The publisher Is prompted in giving this
edition by the fact that the original Lon

notes by Professor Anderson, the result
of his careful collation of the English
with the French original. These notes,
by special permission of Mr. Anderson,
have been incorporated in the present
volume, with additional ones by the edi

"THE NEW EARTH," by W. S Har

cital of the triumphs of modern agricul

deeply impressed with the tremendous
changes that have been made in agricul

ther with the changes that are yet to be
made The formulation of what has been
done in a book of moderate compass is
of great value. It furnishes a new start

which to measure future progress In
giving such a book, Mr Harwood has,
(therefore, done a real service to agrlcul

forest Propagation by the Statea.
Thomas R. Shlpp, in The Reader for July,
says:
In the lastfive,years forest owners have wan
tonly wasted m,ullons of dollars In timber de
stroyed. The forest experts at Washington
frankly ,say they do rot expect a great many
private owners of smaller forests to care for
their property as it actually should cared
for. But they do expect corporations .and states
to look, after their forest tracts .more carefully
than they have been doing. States can derive
3 per ent on every forest reserve they estab
lish, says Alfred Gaskill, of the forest service
at Washington. And this even in planting for
ests. Indiana has a new reserve of 2,000 acres
which is expected to pay. Pennsylvania is
systematically planting trees under state control.
California alone has a working forest area of
20,500,000 acres Maryland is beginning the study
of forestry Massachusetts has a state forestry as
sociation dealing with specific problems in that
state. New Hampshire is doing .forestry field
work Extensive examinations have been made
by the forest service in Alaska, and in 1903
the legislature of HawaU passed a biU .provid
ing for an Insular forest service and creating a
board of agriculture and forestry Last year
there wasfleldworkon eight forest tracts, with
a total area of 1 088,000 acres, In Minnesota,
New Hampshire, West Virginia, Alabama and
Texas.

In Athabasca and northern British Colum
bia Experts say that it will open up
the greatest wheat-growing region in
North America. Hugh D. Lumsden, chief
engineer of the go\ eminent section, de
scribes the work so far done on this part
of the road, and outlines the, engineering
problems of the remainder. Cy Warman
gives a graphic account of the varied
regions thru which the road will pass, and
the tremendous resources which it will

BLACKFEET LAND
^OPENING DELAYED
.i i
President Intimates that He
Would Veto Present BUI,
and It Is Withdrawn.
By W. W. Jermane.
Washington, June 28.Representa-
tive pixon oi Montana has secured the
passage of a resolution asking the pres
ident to return to the house the bill
providing for the opening of the Black
feet reservation in the northwestern
part of that state.
This resolution was presented as the
result of a tip in the shape of a per
sonal note from President Roosevelt,
indicating that he would be obliged to
veto the bill because of imperfections
pointed out by the Indian office. The
president's letter says in part:
I earnestly desire to see this In
dian reservation opened and the sur
plus lands made available for bona
fide settlers, but it is absolutely neces
sary that the water rights of the In
dians be so conserved that there shall
be no question whatever as to their be
ing ample for each Indian's allotment
of irrigable land. There seems to be a
conflict pf views as to whether this is
fully cdvered in the bill now before me.
The Indian bureau insists that it is
not covered, and I am inclined to agree
yith this view. The bureau has an
agent at present on the BlacTtfeet res
ervation looking up this very point. It
is too late how, in- the closing days
of the session to get a report from
him, or other information which will
enable me to decide as between the
claims advanced on this subject, and
it is out ot the question to Bign the
bill unless I can be sure that the rights
of the Indians are conserved. If the
bill is now withdrawn, I will take it
up and consider it with you and Sena
tor Carter immediately after the con
vening of congress in December. Com
missioner Leupp himself will be here
at that time and we will have the full
report of fhe agent of the Indian bu
reau, who is now investigating matters
on the ground. I have no question that
we can then come to an agreement and
secure the immediate passage of an
act which will achieve the purpose
which you and Senator Carter have in
view. So this will only mean a delay
of five months. But if the bill in its
present shape is not withdrawn, I shall
have to veto it."
MATTERS THAT OO OVER
Vote on Moroccan Treaty Dec. 2 On
San Domingo Dec. 17.
Washingtout June 28.The senate in
executive session yesterday agreed that
the Algeciras treaty in relation to
Moroccan affairs shall be brought to a
vote Dec. 2. The treaty requires that
the ratifications must be deposited at
Madrid bv Dec. 31.
In briei the convention is a declara
tion relative to the organization of the
police, a regulation concerning the de
tection and repression of contraband
arms an act providing for a Moroccan
state bank a declaration concerning a
better return of taxes and the creation
of new revenues a regulation con
cerning the customs of the empire and
the repression of fraud and smuggling,
and a declaration relating to public
services and public works.
The democratic opposition was based
on the ground that the reservation
made by the United States as to respon
sibility for enforcement of the treaty
shows there can be no good reason for
the participation in Moroccan affairs.
San Domingan Affairs.
Taking the administration senators
completely by surprise, Senator Bacon
in executive session moved that the
senate vote on the Santo Domingo
treaty on Dec. 17, at the next session
of congress.
The motion, coming from a democrat,
who has been one of the chief oppo
nents of the measure, astonished the re
publican senators.
Senator Spooner asked the reason for
fixing the date in the next session. Sen
ator Bacon replied that the administra
tion is endeavoring carry out
provisions
!of
/i|jf
the treatto without authoreth
ity, and it would be better either to
give this authority or end the present
state of affairs.
At the request oi republican senators,
however. Senator Bacon permitted the
question to go over.

IDE HAS TILT WITH
PHILIPPINE PRELATE
Manila, June 28.The publication im
the United States of a letter of Arch
bishop Harty of. Feb. 20 to Governor
General Ide, concerning the submission
to the courts of the question regarding
the title to the San Juan de Dios prop
erty, led Governor Ide to give out hm
reply to Archbishop Harty. Governor
Ide took umbrage at this portion of
the archbishop's letter:
"Before going to court as a peace
ful American citizen, I shall have had
read simultaneously in 250 pulpits a
solemn protest against this attempted
confiscation. This protest will go thru
the archipelago and reach the Whit a
House. It will subsequently be# taken
up by the American people. This step
has not yet been taken and time still
remains to recall your order."
Governor Ide says:
A portion of your letter produced
a painful impression upon me. It
seemed to contain a threat that tha
protest you will circulate thruout tho
Philippines will excite hostilities
against the government. I agree that
if your action goes thru the islands,
it will reach the doors of the 'N hite
House, but the result would be far
different than the cne you have ia
view."
The dispute relates to properties at
San Juan de Dios. The hospital if
claimed as the property of the govern
ment. It was iised by the troops dur
iug the occupation of Manila.
The claims of the church are based
on a transfer of tne property to thd
Franciscan friars during tl Spanish,
regime. The American officials claim
that the property -was supported \JV tp
Spanish and was o-wned by the Spanish
government and now belongs to thf
United States government.
