WHAT REPUBLICAN VOTERS
WANT.
We do not believe that there is
an honest republican voter in Min
nesota that desires any member of
the Minnesota delegation in
congress to vote for or work for
tariff revision in any form, if in
the honest heart judgment of that
member such action would be
disastrous to the interests of the
state and nation. They do demand
that they take some action. If they
believe that any such legislation
would be detrimental let them
plainly tell the tariff revisionists
that they are a lot of wooden headed
chumps that would raise cain with
the nation’s prosperity. That
under conditions as they now exist
they wouldn’t favor any form of
tariff revision on a bet. That on
that statement they are willing to
base their political future. Thai
would be a square deal. No man
can reasonably ask a legislator to
favor what he considers bad legisla
tion but on this question they have
a right to a«k them to tie up with
one side or the other and siay tied.
Minnesota republicans are getting
tired of men who are tariff revision
ists in Minnesota and “stand
patters” in Washington.
WE CAN’T UNDERSTAND IT.
Two years ago Congressman
McCleary submitted an elaborate
table to show that lumber was
dearer in Winnipeg and Canada
than Ju the United States. In his
reply to Governor Cummins in his
Boston speech He submitted another
table showing that steel rails cost
more in Europe than in the United
States. Despite these elaborate
tables any man who has had busi
ness in these matters knows that
tbe statements are not correct.
But suppose they were and that
lumber and steel products are dearer
in these countries than in the United
States, how in the name of all that
is wonderful can that be construed
as an argument m favor of a tariff
on these commodities? Are the
business men of the United States
so short - sighted that a tariff
is necessary to keep them from
going into a foreign country and
buying goods that they can buy
cheaper at home? Such a proposi
tion is the quintessence of aesinity.
NOT INCONSISTENT
Several papers insinuate that we
are inconsistent when we say . that
Governor Johnson is a clean man
and has made a good governor and
yet that he ought to be defeated.
It does not strike us in the least
that there is any inconsistency
about the statement. This is a
government of political parties.
Every law upon the statute books
of the nation and every state in the
nation was placed thereon as the
result of a political majority in the
national or state legislatures. If
the theories and doctrines of
democracy are better for the state
and nation than those of the repub
licans we not only ought to have a
democratic governor but all officials
should be democrats. If, on the
other hand, republican principles
and policies are to be preferred
then we ought to have republican
officials to carry them out.
Minnesota is a republican state.
An overwhelming majority of its
citizens believe in republican
doctrines and policies. Anyone
with two grains of sense knows
that a democratic official in any
position will not do anything to
advance republican doctrines. The
only way to have republicanism
role is to have republican officials.
Now is the tirae'totaft turkey.
Graft is taking pay for political
services not rendered.
Men who deserve success gen
erally succeed.
Candidates often change their
convictions after election.
Honest men work for people,
rouges work people.
The only laws that never need
revision are the ten commandments.
The glad hand often has an
itching palm.
Popularity and ability are not
always synonomous terms.
Mistakes in a good cause* are
better than absolute accuracy in
error.
It is all right to throw dirt out of
the Panama canal.
Block ought to be able to hold
down the governor’s chair; he
weighs 300 pounds.
Jacobson has not commenced to
make a noise like a candidate yet.
The wage worker never worries
about tbs tariff on silk hats.
Laws that are not enforced had
better be stricken from tbe law
books.
The nimble dollar produces
prosperity.
A man without any weaknesses
is a man without any friends.
The necessities of life cannot be
made too cheap.
A man with ten children is of
more use to the world than a man
with ten million dollars.
The farmer feeds the world and
the world feeds on the farmer.
Men can get rich in legislative
positions but they never do it on
the salaries they receive.
.We wonder why Congressman
McCleary does not deliver his
“stand pat” speeches in Minnesota
instead of Massachussetts. There
is more tariff revision heresy here.
In New York city they have
changed the after election cry “It
is all over but the shouting” to “It
is all over but the lawing.”
A man who has not the courage
to proclaim his convictions before
conventions are held can always be
controlled by interests after elec
tion.
Some men work all the time and
pay no attention to politics; other
men practice politics all the time
and never work. A little mixing
of these classes would help a great
deal.
It is a curious fact but it is
nevertheless true that men will
shout and vote for men to fill im
portant legislative positions that
they would not pay twenty-five
cents to try a five dollar case for
them in justice court.
If men were as willing to attend
caucuses and churches as they are
card parties the improvement of
the world morally and politically,
would be so marked that there
would be nothing left for preachers
to do.
What is the matter with re
christening the democratic party
of Minnesota the “Johnson” party?
Johnson seems to be the whole
thing and there are more Johnsons
than there are democrats anyway.
The St. Paul Dispatch is authority
for the statement that Theodore
Burton of Ohio, is “thinking” of
contesting the speakership with
Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois.
If his “thinks” materialize we
would rather meet another auto
mobile after dark with our Jim
horse than be Theodore Burton
after “Uncle Joe” gets through
with him. We would be less dis
figured.
SAUK CENTRE HERALD, NOVEMBER 30.1905 ?
It isn’t charity for the state to
make its swamp lands arable. It is
simply thrifiiness.
King Haakon VII talks mighty
glowingly about the fatherland for
an adopted Bon.
The railroads are willing to
compromise on a rate commission
if they can name the commission.
Any legislation that increases the
prices of the necessities of life, is
robbery of the industrious.
It is awfully dangerous up north
these days for a man to go out in
the woods and make a noise like a
deer.
It is just as bad to steal ten cents
from a thousand different men as it
is to rob one man of a hundred
dollars but not so dangerous.
A tnatl who neglects to perform
his duties of citizenship, has no
right to kick about bad politics and
corrupt officials.
Half the property of the nation
pays no taxes and it is the half that
belongs to the people best able to
pay-
Whenever a farmer speaks of
tariff revision the “stand patter”
shakes a sheaf of wheat or a newly
skinned hide at him.
A legislator who smothers his
convictions “to get something for
his district” will sell his vote to get
something for himself.
If every subscriber to a country
paper paid his subscription promptly
in advance a great improvement
would be noticed in the country
press.
The McCurdy family has resigned
from the New York Mutual Life
Insurance Co. Most anyone would
be willing to resign after drawing a
half million a year for ten years.

PIONEER COLLEGE ECHOES
The attendance at the Pioneer is
growing day by day. Profs. Bouton
and Bailey are contemplating engag
ing another teacher after the holidays.
Students in general are becoming
much better penmen. Our new
magazine “The Business Educator”
is in the hands of every student.
Today is Thanksgiving. Most of
the students will return to their
homes, school being closed until
Monday. 'W
Every student progresses. All are
interested in their studies and an
atmosphere of earnest work pervades
the school-room.
To punctuate and frame a good
business letter is beyond the reach of
many. Prof. Bailey has two strong
classes in this department and they
are all doing good work.
We aim to give every student 100 c
on the dollar. Our students will tell
you this. The Pioneer is an honest
school.
Have you noticed the class of
students attending the Pioneer? They
are among the best. Quality and
quantity are hand in hand this year.
Here’s wishing every student a
happy Thanksgiving day.
