The democratic candidate for mayor says that The Journal once paid him the compliment of saying lie hao" done the best he knew how. The Journal wishes it could repeat that statement, but as to his speech at the Auditorium, it would be a stretch of the truth to do it. Mr. Haynes knows better than to say that the issue in this campaign is better police protec tion. He knows better than to sav that Minneapolis has issued an invitation to all crooks and criminals to hasten here, that we are easy markq. Nobody has issued such an invitation unless the announcement by Mr. Havnes shall be so taken. If it is, it Will be his fault. The issue in this campaign is now, as it was in the primary, that of law enforcement. Mr. TIaynes used up half his time on Saturday night in sailing around this issue looking for an opening to deliver a broadside, but the audi ence did not seem to be in a mood to applaud such performance, and Mr. Haynes, much against his desire, appar ently, was compelled finally to come back to the J&w enforcement ^proposi tion and admit that Mayor ^oj^' had made the issue and niade it "histdri-' cal He accepted it. Having accept ed the issue, it mu3t have immediately occurred to Mr. Haynes that he had closed his campaign rather thsn opened it, and spoken for his opponent rather than himself. Now, when a lawypr gets into such a fix, he moves to reopen the case for further argument. Mr. Haynes is a lawyer. The dilemma was a bitter one for the candidate and th.e lawyer made some statements in his "further argument" which are not in the evi dence. These he will see discussed and analyzed in a way which may make him wish he had submitted his case as it stood. It Is now stated that Palma left $13,000,- 000 in the treasury of Cuba. It is quite evident that Palma knew nothing about Pennsylvania politics Water Transportation. James J. Hill makes a number of speeches each year, or rather he makes one speech a number of times each year, always with the same refrain, the wasting of national resources. Mr. HilPs remarks are listened to with interest because he is a practical man and generally makes practical sugges tions. Whatever he says about the wastefulness of our agricultural meth ods has the weight, of knowledge back of it. Mr. Hill knows a good deal about farming. Anything he might say about wasting other national re sources would have equal weight were it backed by the same evidence of first hand knowledge of the subject. For example, Mr. Hill might talk convinc ingly of the wastefulness of building two railroads where one would do the same work. He has never discussed this directly, but he has shown an in terest in the subject by attempts *to reduce two parallel and competing rail roads to one in practice. He might say something about the wastefulness of sending ships around the Horn when so much time and coal would be saved by sending them thru a channel cut across the isthmus of Panama, but this does not appear to interest him affirmatively. He might add something about the wastefulness of letting the cheap transportation of the Mississippi river go to seed while all. the world is making judicious in vestments in canal routes which do not compare in importance with the nat ural canal provided by the Mississippi. Why should the people of this coun try neglect this great river as a means of transportation when it is such a valuable corrective of freight rates and will become so much more import ant whenever the Panama canal is ready for business 3 g^jc C.The railroad men always present us a fit one-sided view of the transportation question. They assume always that If railroads are our natural and necessary I?* dependence, when, as a matter of fact, Wt they are not. Except on the open prai lll ries the railroads have from the first if* followed the water^ays-fwhere nature had done the,grading. "Efcey. have thus paralleled with artificial means of transportation the natural means of carriage of goods,'f After doing this they tell the world that water trans* portation is played out and the rail road is the only thing. It is a decide since Mr. Hill ^Outtjted the kne5l o'f^fratBr tea#sp0rtati6& ,afc&J anil since thrift he has pu more ^ni^, into tha^ Kind of enterprise tTjgfr $& most any other man in the cdWtraff1 The decide since he made his. aimoiincfi-t ment ha h*ti& distinctly one of- canal making. England, France, Germany have made notable additions to their canal facilities in that time. This country haar awakened to the import ance of the "great lakes and New ork has appropriated $100,000,000 to mod ernize the historic Erie canal. The transportation question has not been settled entirely in favor of the wheeled vehicle. None knows this bet ter than the railroad men. II is .still an open question and while there is no probability of the waterway replacing the land carriages, there is a possibil ity of the waterway fixing certain con trolling rates. Fixing the rates by a natural method is at least as good as fixing them by law, because there can be no cavil against the justice of a rate fixed by something which declares the possibility of a carriage at a profit at a given fare. The apparent anxiety of railroad men to declare the Missis sippi river out of business may be based at least in part upon a desire to see that great canal neglected by the gov ernment. The Fairbanks elopement tends to hu manize the family boom. Treason from Vermont. Governor Fletcher of Vermont, in his inaugural address, said: "We cannot create prosperity merely by legislation. It must come thru the efforts of the peoplethru taking advantage of na tural opportunities and conditions. We shall prosper agriculturally only so far as the farmer emplovs the opportunities and natural conditions -at his com- mand." But, he said, it was the duty of the government to so legislate as to foster and not discourage industry. Governor Fletcher appears to have imbibed some common sense along with his republicanism. He has secured a view of things industrial which puts opportunity, effort and adaptability ahead of law. He has progressed be yond those republicans who hold that all that is necessary to create industrv is to tax imports. If industry does not take the hint, raise the taxes. If manu factures are still diffident, laise them again. There is always a point at which prosperitv will grab hold if the tariff-makers only have the genius and patience to keep pushing for it. Mr. Governor Fletcher appears to have gotten beyond that point. He places opportunity first and law after ward. Perhaps he would even be pre pared to say that when an industry has beeen established bv a fortuitous com bination of opportunity and law, that it shotdd be invited to try what it can do with a little less law and finally be set on its*feet without any law. This would be the natural position for a Snan ,ystso puts opportunity ahead of 'tariff. If there is a point at which an industry which is not naturally well situated can exist and prosper by taxes, then there* may come a time when an in dustry which has all the advantage of situation may be able to amble along without taxes. Governor Fletcher has not given us any weighty thoughts on this branch of the subject, but his present position will be such a bitter disappointment to simon pure standpatters that it may be well not to add to their grief by draw ing him out further at present. Colonel Brya-n is not yet listed among the missing, but there are fears Governor Johnson's Speech. The first person singulai appeared frequently in Governor Johnson's ad dress Saturday night, which was large ly devoted to magnifying the work of his administration. Some might cavil at what sounds like self-glorification, but it must be remembered that his record is the governor's asset in the campaign, and he can handle it better than any one else. Those hearing the governor's presentation of Ms deeds must doubt the truth of the old adage that he who argues his own case has a bad lawyer. If he claims too great a share in "the glory for things that have been idohe by a republican legislature and republican officials, at any rate it makes a fine showing, and nine-tenths of those who hear him will never know the difference. I was when the governor dropped his own record and began to attack his republican opponent, that he began to tread "on dangerous ground,'" to bor row a phrase from the current drama. Two years ago he did not swing the hammer much, and his forbearance won him much favorable comment. Satur day night he made some uncalled-for statements about his opponent, which went with the crowd but do not look so Well in print, when the facts $re known. Mr. Cole was accused of advertising to the world that Minnesota was "go- ing to the bad." Such a statetaent is an unjust slam at the campaign ror state development. No one has claimed^ that the state was going backward in prosperity, wealth and resources. The claim is .that Minnesota's rich farm lands have escaped the attention of the great westward-moving tide of tome seekers, because they have' noi\$jjen properly aW&rtised. The moveu^ln the state development campaign are try ing to shake ^the people of the stat$ jquj of the sleepy optimism typified by Gov ernor Johnson's position^ and to rouse them into uipited effort for new settlers and full development of our possibili ties. The fact that thousands of -Min nesota arntprs have sold out and j?one west for cheaper land andjthaj their places have not been filled, cannot be denied. It is' not to the discredit of our soil and resources, but to gloss it over and Test supinely is the worst sort of folly. TJI0 governor also indulged in-an ^in- sinuation against Eis antagonist, say ing that he was paying little attention to timber trespass, and that this silence was significant. Mr. Cole has prom ised to enforce the trespass laws isn't that enough? He could'^ardly be ex pected ,to do more tnM$'nforce" the laws. As for Mr. Gql$ b|&g a lumber men's candidate, the'/iep^a, is alt'the other way. In his flr$t? $$*m as a rep-, -resentative he antajgo^zld*'the lumber* interests with'his ^UH*W*tax logs in, "the county where they were cut. In the last legislature he -served on the subcommittee which, drafted a new and ?ne- more stringent trespass" law, and he supported it with vigor? He was nbt the choice of lumber interests that are in politics, when the nomination was made" last June. They worked hard up to the last minute for another candi date. Mr. Cole owes nothing to the lumber interests, and may be depended on to enforce the laws as vigorously against them as against any other men or interest. Mr. Cole was also accused of being for Bryan in 1896. So were many others who are good republicans now, high in offices and honor. Governor Johnson did not speak for himself, but it is safe to say that he will be' for the democratic nominee in 1908, whether he be Bryan or Hearst. Mr. Cole's re publicanism is not questioned. 'On the whole, Governor Johnson would make better progress if he con fined himself to boosting Johnson, Female PoliticianI want my paper stopped and I should likeI never was so insulted in my life.

"Rather Germany than Hohenzollern," said the man of blood and iron. If the first William had been such a man as the present kaiser, the course of history would have been changed in a remarkable way.

"Yes," said a third, musingly, "it i so with me as well. The rhythm of one -sentence bas often occupied my thoughts for an entire day." Then Mr Herford. ffcora a couch in the corner, spoke up with a mild, slow voice, and with an air of adorable simplicity: "And I, too" said he, "have often spent a week rn polfahing a single word." Thereupon ensued a silence which no one cared to break, until a rude PhiliS* tine entered the room and began talking about yachts.

His part in the last named achieve^ ment is vigorously disputed by the re publicans.

His mana gers are figuring on not less than 30,000 plurality, while Johnson's cabinet real izes that on the most sanguine hopes they cannot figure out more than a few thousand. Both sides have had trouble in rais ing campaign funds. Both have had a nucleus of officeholders, whose sub scriptions gave a start, but the corpora tions have proved rather indifferent this time. Cole's attitude has repelled any advances the railroads might have been disposed to make. The item of railroad transportation for speakers, which used to be a small affair, is now a big bill of expense in the campaign. The Heavy Artillery. Governor Johnson goes up into the ninth district next week, while after two meetings in southern Minnesota A. L. Cole goes to Duluth and the iron range towns for the rest of the week. Senators Nelson and Clapp have been out for several days, and J. F. Jacob son, Mr. Cole's leading rival for the nomination, has bee a doing great serv ice in restoring harmony and lining up his friends for the ticket. Former Governor Van Sant, Trank M. Eddy and other strong and popular speakers are putting in hard Ucks for Cole. T. D. O'Brien, Governor Johnson's insur ance commissioner/ is on the stump for him, and so are several of his associates on the state ticket. The democrats have no hope of landing anvthmg be sides the governorship. They are not making any fight five of the congres sional districts, or in. a majority of the legislative districts. Outside of John son their chief hope is in W. S. Ham mond, who is running against Congress man McCleary in the second. It seems probable that most of the tariff revision republicans will swallow their feelings and re-elect the congressman, but by a much reduced majority.

About this Knute Nelson at Elbow Lake, Moses E. time the northern roads made an offer ciapp at Detroit Jacobson at Wa- to reduce grain and coal rates if tho commission would drop the merchandise hearing. The commission received the offer but declined to consider dropping the merchandise rate question. Gov ernor Johnson then wrote the commis sion, urging that the railroads be taken at their word as to gram and coal rates. The railroads made the reductions vol untarily^ and soon after the commission ordered merchandise rates reduced. That order is being complied with. The whole investigation has been started by a republican legislature ,and wound up by a republican commission. The gov ernor's part was not essential and only incidental, showing himself in sympathy with the movement. The republican press and speakers' agree with Mr McCleary, and whose well-earned reputation for aggres8ive4i*w work, and that is a guarantee that if he is elected there will be more doing at the capital. Issue as to Legislation. Mr. Cole has made a strong pro nouncement on the railroad question. In his speech at Zumbrota last spring, long before his nomination, he made the point that much could be accom plished by vigorous enforcement of the existing laws, but he has also declared for some legislation to make the law more effective, among other things for an amendment to put the commission's orders into immediate effect, notwith standing appeal. Governor Johnson has taken issue with him, saying that in his belief the present laws are "both effi cient and sufficient," altho the demo cratic platform demands "additional legislation regulating freight rates," in .nfty-eighth was in S Paul Sat order that complaints can be speedily investigated and "prompt relief j*- Lindbergh, and predictsgthat granted.'' **all Tuesday evening will be grand military night at the Lyceum theater The play inclined to support the man in offiee, will fittingly be "Hanson's Folly," Richard but this advantage is sorely needed in Harding Davis' dmmatic story of Ameri-j the face of the great republican ma- can army life in a frontier garrison To ority.
