Jim Hill says the railroads need
the "rent cure." What about the peo­
ple of the northwest who have piled
up millions to Jim's credit?

Editor Pease of the Anoka Union
is to be editor ia chief of the newspa­
per headquarters at stale fair. Pease
piobably is personally acquainted
with more editors than any other man
in the state. The old man would
have been in Congress years ago had
it not been for his kicking disposition
He has the ability and physical en­
durance for a good congressman.
The Rosseau Region asks: "What
constitutes a day's work?" We figure
out that it depends altogether on
your occupation. If you lay brick
eight hours if you keep house, six­
teen hours if you are a porter in a
sleeping car, twenty-one hours if
you serve the government, one hour
and if you are a newspaper man,
twenty-four hours.
Denatured Alcohol.
The internal revenue bureau has
adopted regulations for the govern­
ment of the distillation and distri­
bution of denatured alcohol which
xender possible the farm distillery,
or a co-operatiive concern like the
farmers' creamery. Distilleries in
which fifty or less proof gallons are
produced within twenty four hours
may be operated under such easy
conditions as to make it practicable
for the people of any community to
manufacture their fuel and light.
In such a concern no plant is need­
ed one room may contain the cis­
tern, distillery and denaturing
warehouse. Unless the collector of
revenue certifies that the presence
of a gauger is nffeded none will be
detailed to these distilleries. The
proprietors of these small distiller­
ies are not required to keep the de­
natured factors in separate rooms
*or to procure the denaturants from
central warehouss or distilleries
where regular denaturing ware­
houses are established. Nor are
manufacturers using this alcohol
required to provide separate store
rooms and keep records of amount
used and for whfct used. These lib­
eralized requirements will event­
ually let men engage in a small
way in the production of alconol
and permit the people of the north­
west to snap their fingers at the
coal and oil barons.
Right From the Shoulder.
Chatauqua,New York,—''Capitalists
control the modern church, and the
church's influence is for capital
against labor," said Dean Shailer
Mathews of the University of Chica­
go divinity school in an address at
Chatauqua assembly to day.
Deterioration in the ministry, the
dean aho asserted, follows upen the
subsidizing of theological students
in the schools, and the sooner this
and other forms of '•scantified graft,"
are eliminated the better it will be for
the church.
"The church is composed of the
capitalistic class or sympathizers with
the capitalistic class," said Deau Mat­
hews. '"It can influence largely,
therefore, the source of legislation.
''The devotion of ill-gotten wealth
"to spiritual ends is undoubtedly a
just social restriction, but it is the
rankest hypocrisy if it be not accom­
panied by an abandonment of illegi­
timate methods of producing wealth.
It is one thing for a repentent thief
to contribute his plunder to human
well being and it is quite another
thing for a thief to steal in order that
he may be charitable."
No United States Senators
National Convention.
I
in
Affairs national have reached that
climax that the public will look
with suspicion upon a republican
convention dominated—not numer­
ically, "but politically and essen­
tially—by members of the federal
I senate and through them the army
of government officials who owe
their tyread and butter direotly to
senatorial influence. The time has
come when it will be regarded as a
sinster and menacing situation if
the next national convention shall
be controlled by the olique, which
is all powerful in the United States
senate. Though a year mtiist elapse
before party representatives assem­
ble to choose the next president,the
time is ncne too long in whioh to
thoroughly plaoe before the people
what threatens to be a positive
and practical menace and to in*
augurate a campaign of, at onoe,
prevention and restitution. It is a
calamitous situation, full of ill
omens to the republic, when the
confidence the people should feel
in the upper—the conservative
branch of congress is displaced by
a sentiment of the deepest distrust
and dissatisfaction but it would
be worse than idle to deny that
the country is swept from end to
end by the conviotion that the
United States senate, or the com­
pact and handleable clique which
controls it, is in diametric antag­
onism to the interests of the mass­
es that it represents, not the peo­
ple, but the special interests, and
that it stands like adamant between
the people and those measures now
universally considered necessary to
the material welfare. Party lines
have been praotically obliterated
and the new senator, fresh from the
people and with a strong impulse to
voioe their necessities and desires,
is crushed between the uper mill­
stone of senatorial courtesy and the
nether millstone of the clique that
can be moved only by the most de­
cided pronouncement of an awaken­
ed public sentiment.
it is the United States senate that
stands like a rock in the path of a
revision of the tariff by its frinds,
opposing a demand that if not met
at the ndxt session by a sincere and
satisfying initiative will precipitate
a political revolution at the polls in
1908.
It is the United States senate that
has thwarted, to the limit of its
power, the reform program that has
made President Roosevelt the popu­
lar idol of the nation, permitting
the exercise" of the successive steps
of that program only when it dare
not withstand the pressure of pub­
lic opinion.
It is the United States senate that
is to be found, if anywhere one ex­
ists, the organized and powerful
anti-administration machine, devot­
ed to the defeat and overthrow of
every measure that bears the stamp
of Rooseveltism and the seal of pop­
ular approval.
It is the Unitd States senate that
expresses that arrogant disregard
of what the people desire and need
that becomes almost a menace to
our form of government.
And now it is the same United
States senate, or its cnotrolling in­
terest, that is preparing, as in the
past, to invade the next national re­
publican convention and dictate not
only the candidates but the platform
and policies and as in the past it
will do so, unless deterred by an
awakening of sentiment that will
relegate the special interest senator
to his proper place in the galleries.
It is not necessary to recall how, in
1900, the senatoral cabal forced the
vice presidential nomination upon
Theodore Roosevelt with the sole
motive of shelving apower which its
prophetic soul foretold would one
day rise against its own. Equally
unnecessary is it to emphasize the
fact that four years later it yielded
to a force of sentiment with which
it could not cope, when Roosevelt
was the unopposed choice of the
people, but it is significant that it
then selected for second place a
member of its own body, whose
presidential aspirations it has since
then carefully and sedulously
nursed.
The time has arrived when the
United States senator should find
the door to the national conven­
tion barred against him when he
should receive from the people,
not from himself, the commands
he is expected to execute on the
floor of the senate charfiber. Na­
tional policies formulaed by the
people themselves, should be^trans
mitted to congress absolutely free
from senatorial intervention or
participation. The choice of the
republicans of the country for
president and vice president must
be freely expressed and be un­
touched by the taint of a body of
which the least that may be said is
that it is not above public reproach.

Adrian
From the Democrat:
F. M. Saddler and Editor Lovrien
kept the road hot with their automo­
biles between Ellsworth and Adrian
last Sunday, carrying the crowd over
to see the ball game. Mr. Saddler
made five round trips, covering in all
about 120 miles. Lovrien made four
round trips, but on the last one
crawled part of the way on three
wheels.
The members of the Adrian Citi­
zens Band are holding their beads
well up in the atmosphere just now.
Their pride is pardonable. It is no
small honor to represent the great
state of Minnesota at the big fair to
beheld at Sioux City, September 7th
to ,15th.
Fred Mohl's residence-has been en
tered twice during the past week by
hungry prowlers, who helped them
selves to bam and other good things
to eat. As nothing was disturbed
except the victuals the night visitors
were probably not very desperate
characters. But its mighty danger­
ous business to acquire a late lunch
in that manner.
It is reported that two or three
Adrian men are making a practice of
seining the ponds of the Kanaranzi.
The fellows who enjoy a little fishing
with hook andline object to this, and
unless it is stopped at once, the guilty
persons will get into trouble. It is
said they even went so far as to use
a seine in broad daylight. This open
violation of the law is, bf course, no
worse than doing the same thing un­
der covqr of darkness, but it shows
how bold the law-breakers have be
come.

The irrepressible Hisey, secular
government candidate for president
of the United States, was an Ells­
worth visitor again Monday night,
and mounted on a dry goods box in
front of the city hall, managed to at­
tract quite a crowd of enthusiasts in
remarkably short order. The small
boys of the town vented their enthu­
siasm after he had talked for an hour
and a half by discharging several
bunches of large fire crackers in his
immediate vicinity. This broke up
the meeting and Mr. Hisey went to
his hotel regretting that the enthusi­
asm of hiB friends should lead them
to such noisy demonstrations.
A sneak thief managed to gain po
eession of five coats from various wag­
ons about town last Monday night.
