ORGANIZED labor has boycotted the
cemetery at Baldwinsville, N. Y., be
cause the fence was painted by a non
union firm. Where will this end, if it
continues?
NORM KING, another of Mayor Ames'
Minneapolis policemen, was convicted
Saturday evening of being accessory to
the big mitt games. Let no guilty one
escape. There is prospect of the con
viction of several others.
As John Lind absolutely refused the
Democratic nomination for governor,
L. A. Rosing 'was nominated for the
position on Wednesday. He says that
he "would rather run on the Demo
cratic ticket to certain defeat than to
run as a Republican to victory." He
will certainly be accommodated.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has request
ed the attorney general to look into the
so-called anthracite coal trust to ascer
tain what can be done under our present
laws to prevent the unjust acts of this
monopoly. Everyone is affected by the
extortions of this trust' and will hail
with great satisfaction any curtailing
of its power.
MORE than $6,000,000 is spent an
nually for beer drunk in St. Paul, an
amount of money six times that of the
cost of tea and coffee drunk by the
same community and three times the
cost of maintaining the city govern
ment. What a waste of earnings this
represents. This money, if spent on
useful objects, would add to the com
fort and happiness of thousands of
homes.
THE entire Philippine archipelago
will be placed under control of the civil
authorities on the Fourth of July, and
from that date the military will be
everywhere subordinate to the civil
authority just as flit is in the United
States, assisting in the preservation of
peace and good order when called upon
to do so. There is no -doubt that af
fairs in the Philippines are bright and
promising.
A CHICAGO scientist claims that "the
evidence warrants belief that Pelee's
volcanic dust may have caused the re
cent peculiar weather over a large part
of the United States. It is a well
known fact thatjvolcanic ashes, such
as were thrown out during the eruption
on the island of Martinique, spread for
hundreds and even thousands of miles
of the earth, borne by the upper air
currents. It is also true thatjsuch aer
ial conditions are conducive to heavy
precipitation." Possibly this is true
and possibly not.
THE testimony of Admiral Dewey
before the senate committee on the
Philippines must be extremely galling
to the anti-imperialists who have pic
tured Aguinaldo as a second George
W ashington. Dewey testifies that
Aguinaldo was in Manila solely for
gain, for loot, for money, and thatjin
dependence never entered his head at
that time. He was then taking every
thing he could lay his hands on from
everybody and no doubt got the lion's
share. When he landed at Manila he
had nothing and in a very short time
he was living at Malolos like a prince.
We have great confidence in admiral
Dewey's testimony. He is evidently
telling of things which he knows. Un
biased people long ago put Aguinaldo
down as an unmitigated fraud and ras
cal without a particle of manhood or
patriotism.

Minneapolis Journal: After all the
democratic state convention has done
nothing to alter the bettled conviction
that for once, at least, a republican
candidate for governor of Minnesota is
to have an easy timeof it in an off-year.
Governor Van Sant could safely take a
vacation from political cares from now

sure that he would be re-elected.
Windom Free Press: In his talk in
sentencing the prisoners on Thursday
evening, Judge Brown said that tfy6
fall of at least five out of the. six pris

liquor. What better argument could
be brought against the liquor traffic
than that. If such a ratio of crime as
that could be traced to anything but
liquor how'quick one of the old parties
would take up the question and make
a national isiue of it.

Wilson, of Racine,
Mercury: Miss Graced

from Austin where she has beefi at
tending the S. M. Normal College for
the past year, and where she has just
graduated, being honored by being
chosen class valedictorian. State Sup
erintendent Olson delivered the address
to the class. Miss Wilson says over
four- hundred students attended the
school the past year, and she speaks
very highly of the school, the work and
the instructors.
Duluth Tribune: Men gathered into
the cities may be stampeded into folly
or wickedness, and the farmers of
America, living under conditions favor
able to the retention of opinions proved
by experience to be sound, and to cool
judgment, have often restored the bal
ance of sanity "Near to nature's heart,"
far from the glare and glitter, the deli
rium and delusion of, city life, the
patriotism, the hard sense and the
integrity of abetter age survives in the
American farmer.
Park Rapids Enterprise: "Farmer
Ben" who writes a weekly column of
soliloquy in the AUSTIN TRANSCRIPT
dishes up a whole lot of sensible
straightforward talk about matters and
things, but never struck a richer and
truer vein of philosophy about practi
cal every day life than when he dashed
off the following glowing eulogy of
farm life and its blessings, in a recent
issue. We hope that the people on the
farms, who think that the town' folks
have the innings will read it and rea
lize the truth of it.
Mantorville Express: The MOWER
COUNTY TRANSCRIPT is publishing
series of interesting articles from the
pen of Hon. B. F. Langworthy, of that
county, in which he treats reminiscent
ly of its early history. From one of
these we copy the following, in which
Dodge county figures conjointly with
Mower in matters legislative from 1857
to 1871. Although not definitely indi
cated, Representatives Geo. O. Way,
Royal Crane, Augustus Barlow and C.
D. Tuthill, and Senator Joseph H.
Clark, were from Dodge county.
LeRoy Independent: The Indepen
dent takes pleasure in presenting the
name of Miss Lillian B. Hayes for the
office of County Superintendent of
Schools, on the ground of her excep
tional qualification for that important
position. We believe that the intro
duction of her name will meet with
such prompt and cordial endorsement
by the friends of the public schools of
Mower county that Miss Hayes will file
her announcement and enter at once
upon a vigorous and winning campaign,
which shall, of course, be absolutely
free of personalities or unkind criticism
of others who might aspire to that
office.
Albert Lea Enterprise: There is un
doubted evidence that horse thieves
have organized and are and have been
operating in southern Minnesota the
past spring and present summer and
many valuabje horses have been stolein.
When thieves organize it is time honest
men also organized to rid ithe commu
nity of laV breakers and .marauders.
An anti-horse thief association would
have a great moral influence in the
community and would prevent the
stealing of horses to a great'extent. At
least it had this^effect-when the anti
horse thief association of twenty years
ago'was organized. Let us have
another organization and try to rid the
state of this undesirable clgiss. ......
Janesville Argus: Mayor Gray wh6
is a gentleman "in every- sense, would
have been elected Mayor of Minneapo

the obstinacy of the prohibition vote
which was thrown away upon Dean.
Had this vote been cast for Gray the

Minneapolis finds itself would not Kafe

Methods and "Objects
In the Philippine*.
The ratification xf the treaty by
which we acquired sovereignty over
Dse islands was not a party matte*
Certainly, it was. not a thing for which
the War Department is, to be held re
sponsible. We had -first established
a military government there on the
theory of its being "an instrument
for- promoting the war with Spain."
Subsequently, to quote -Judge Magoon,
the law officer of the War Department's
Division of Insular Affairs, the mili
tary government of the islands "was
continued and utilized as a means of
suppressing armed insurrection" and
was, therefore, "authorized to exercise
the rights of a belligerent." Two
things the War Department has been
endeavoring to accomplish in the
Philippines. First, using the army as
a belligerent acting under the laws of
war, it has been endeavoring to sup
press armed insurrection, and to estab
lish permanent peace under: the ac
knowledged sovereign authority of the
United States Government. To have
done this with anything short of the
full vigor of military action would
have been criminal, and would have
rightly subjected the Secretary of W«t
to impeachment. Second, while th$
army itself is primarily an instrument
of war, it may also,—wherever con
ditions permit, as they did in Cuba,—
be made a most effective instrument
for the protection of humble and law
abiding people in their rights, for the
establishment of an advantageous
social and industrial order, and for the
preparation of the community to enter
upon a regime of civil administration.
This also it has done in the Archipel
ago. It would be hard, in our opinion*
to find any parallel for the way in
which our army, in the Philippines hai
carried the sword in one hand, while ih
the other it has held up the banner of
peace, justice, and good will. The
moment a district has been measurably
pacified, the army has transformed
itself into an agency for making life
worth living. .Far from pursuing a
course of ruthless bloodshed and mili
tary tyranny in the Philippines, we
have erred, if at all,—in point of gen
eral policy,—quite in the opposite
direction. We have perhaps been too
eager to show our kindly desires. *The
United States Government has at no
time had any more motive for oppress
ing the people of the Philippines, or
for making its sovereignty an offensive
or disadvantageous thing for them,
than it has had for making the people
of Massachusetts chafe under it^
authority or hate its flag. The army's
one object has been peace and safety.
