WHICH WAY THE WIND BLOWS.

Senator-Elect James Compton will be held
responsible for the good conduct OF the mem
berS of the senate this winter. He is the
most moral and devout of the senators who
have Teen elected, and of course he will be
expected to take the helm and guide the ship
of state. Senator Compton has just been
elected superintendent of the Presbyterian
Sunday school at Fergus Falls for the fifteenth
consecutive ear. which proves him to be a
man who was not cast in an ordinary mold.
Mr.. Compton has seriously compromised his
reputation, though, by allowing himself to he
elected to the legislature; but he has grand
chance TO do good and noble work, and it is
believed he will embrace the opportunity TO
its fullest extent. By the way, it would be
an excellent idea to elect Compton chaplain
of the senatorial toboggan club next winter.

every week-aud no one would have molested
him or made him afraid. He would, in fact.
have been a millionaire. and able to edit and
print Our Continent simply as matter of
pastime.
