Mrs. Logan For Pension Com
missioner.

If there is any one person in this broad
land whom it would please us more than
any other to have appointed to the re-
sponsible position of pension commits
sioner, that person is Mary Logan, the
widow of one of the nations's great fav-
orites. Gen John A. Logan, and we are
glad to notice that the Logan Irwin
chile" of Baltimore, recently passed res
olution recommending Mrs. Logan for
that position. The Minneapolis Tribune
Star has also come out for Mrs. Logan
for commissioner of pensions, and says
it would be an appointment eminently
fit to be made. The name of Mrs.
Logan's dead husband ought to go a
long ways in influencing her appoint
ment, provided she is competent for the
place. Of this we do not believe there
can be any doubt, During her hus-
bands lifetime she was acknowledged
as fitting helpmeet for that popular
statesman and leader. Indeed, in some
quarters, her ability was considered
superior to his, and it was generally con-
ceded that he owed much of his success
to her. She is woman fully conversant
with public affairs and is the idol of the
old soldiers. No more appropriate
recognition of the Grand Army could be
made then the appointment of Mrs.
Logan. The Tribune-Star would not
recommend her simply because she is a
women and the widow of great gen.
eral, but we contend that the fact that
she is women should not bar her from
the position.

We fully agree with the FalrmOnt
News in the following patriotic re-
marks in regart! to the Dear Old
Stars and Stripes: "rhe populariz-
ing of the stars and stripes by hoisting
them all over public buildings has
been carried to fruition so far as the
national government Is concerned
but the reform must not be allowed
to rest there, they should fly from
every public building, national, state
and local. Will not our school board
and county commissioners fly the flag
of our Union over the school house
and court house. We believe the
public would cheerful!y bear the
little additional expense. 1t will
teach the rising generation to love it
as nothing else will"

People Who Fret.

"Care killed the cat" is we'll
known old saw. The force of it is in
the fact that fret and worry will kill
even an animal which is popularity
said to have nine lives. Fretting and
worrying may not kill you, but they
Will shorten your days, and what
happiness is there In a life all can-
kered with care? But how avoid
worry? Well, Americans travel
more than any other people on the
globe, and probably discomforts aud
delays in travelling cause us greater
annoyance than all other sources OF
fretting combined: The great Bur-
lington system reaches all the princi-
pal cities of the west, and If yon
always select it as your route, you
can Danish frettlng forever, so smooth
is it's track, SO sumptuous and luxuri-
GUS are its cars, and so appetiziDg and
well-cooked are the meals served on
its diners. For tickets, and any in-

Wadena Pioneer: Bordering on

Wadena Pioneer: Bordering on
the southeast corner of Wadena
county and south of the Crow Wing
river is strip of land which does not
belong to any of the three counties
which touch 1t. These counties are
Wadena, Cass and Todd. THIS strip
contains about three sections of land
and some of 1T is and has been for
several years occupied by few sett-
lers. When the boundary lines
of the three counties named
above were fixed by the legis-
lature this little parcel of the state of
Minnesota appears to have been COM
pletely overlooked. If any crime is
committed there it is doubtful if any
thing could be done with the GRIMM
al, as the justices of the peace in the
three counties bordering this strip
would have no jurisdiction. This
land is properly called "No Mans
Land" Gentlemen of the pugilistic
persuasion would probably find Sc
cluded spot in this strip for ring
battle. or if any one of the three
counties wish to enlarge its posses
sions 1t can probably secure an enact
ment of the legislature attaching it
thereto.

During the melon season in Persia a

clear and bright nerved our soldiers on
TO the last grand, victorious charge;
Fighting Joe Hooker and his gallant
army found the enervating notes OF the
'Star Spangled Banner" sufficient to
lead them up the steep sides of Lookout

Oh they'll do.
The editor of the Advance Sun, OF
some of his editorial corps or loca
editors, have "smelt gunpowder," and
know something about the kind OF
music soldiers like when they are going
in or are in charge; therefore we say
the writer is clearly right in the fol
lowing remarks, as We have good reason
| to know:
Lest some one may think the above
strictly historic we will remark that nj
charge was ever made since the worle

The accent of the tune cannot be made
to fit the charging step. Neither is tht

thing in charge or the melee of battle

But when the moment comes to tak'
the double quick and the charge actual
ly begins there is nothing so good a
"Yankee Doodle" 1t lifts the feet will
the exact rhythmic beat. 1t converts al
the resolve which the other airs insplr
into active energy. 1t makes the soldie
go and do. Under the impetus OF n
other strain will q regiment of men tos
their rifles upon the right shoulder wit
such ready precision, carry their mayb
wearied feet so lightly over the inter

gun forward into the expectant left ham

word, the peroration, the summing up

Never stop your home paper, put
lished in the town where you are In
terested. If you take so many papers
that you feel as though you must
stop some of them, stop those pub
lished at q distance and i'll which you
are least interested, but don't stop
your home paper. You ask why? We
answer you in this way: In the first
place your foreign paper, that you say
you can get for one dollar per year,
cares nothing foryou nor yourinterest;
it is the dollar and only that. They
are not trying to build up your town
or community. When the time for
which you have subscribed has ex-
pired your paper is discontinued and
that ends it so far as their interest
with YOU is concerned. Not SO with
your home paper; what money you
invest in your home paper returns to
YOU with interest. You ask in what
way, please explain? First, every
dollar that is put in your home paper
in the way of advertising, subscrip-
ton or in any other way is kept at
home. Second, home paper strives
to build up a town in which it is
located, and if it is successful in this
it is making your home more valu-
able. Besides we should not look at
home paper from financial basis.
We should first consider that it takes
every dollar that is earned by home
paper to sustain it, and when you
withhold your little support, either in
money or news that you might con-
tribute, you in sense destroy its
usefulness, and not only so, but every
time you order your home paper dis
continued you knock Just one more
spoke out of your wheel. The way to
make your home paper of Interest is
for every subscriber to report to the
publisher all the happenings of their
neighborhood, and see that nothing
of interest is allowed to pass. By do
ing this and then keeping q file of
your papers, 1t gives you a future ref
erence that will not be kept in any
other way.

Mr.. Parker Pillsbury, the abolitionist
and reformer, will celebrate his S0th
birthday anniversary on Sunday. He is
in vigorous physical and intellectual
health. The editor of the TRIBUNE be-
came acquainted with Parker Pillsbury
as long ago as 1910, at time after he
had given up preaching the gospel regu-
larly according to Roger Williams. He

Citations because they communed and
held in good fellowship the slaveholding
Baptists of the south. Such bitter
hatred did Pillsbury have for the devil

ing Baptistism and gave his entire time
in advocating the abolition of slavery,
and not one of the brave and eloquent
men engaged with him did more effec-
tive work than Pillsbury. Garrison,
Phillips, Rogers, Foster, Barleigh,
Whittier with his unrivaled anti-slavery
songs, and the Hutehinsons with their
unrivaled singing, and host of other
men and women, who were engaged in
carrying on the war against slavery, not
one of them did more greater service
than did Parker Plllsbury, who feared
no man and never finched in doing
what he believed to be his duty. He is
a brave, conscientious, grand old man.

EDITOR MORRIS TRIBUNE:-Hadi it
been but hint, though Desdemona
broad, we would have been slow about
undertaking the journey. Being q
plain positive statement that we were
on the eve of travel, we "stood not
upon the order of our going," but
went at once, and in all the days to
come we shall never regret our short
stay in the pretty little town of Nor
rls, where we found refinement,
thrift, enterprise and industry, and
what surer prophecy is needed to for
tell the future of any town.
Lying as it does in the midst of a
rich farming district, being railroad
center, the nearest postoffice town for
miles in any direction about it, hav-
ing two commodious, attractive look
ing school buildings, speaking well
for the educational zeal OF its citizens; !;
a handsome. commanding court house
showing that law and order are strict
ly maintained; two large, substantial
brick bank buildings, showing money
not thing of dreams, but reality !;
a public library vOiceing the people;
God bless Cadmus, or who ever-it was
who invented books, few, fine sub
urban residences, with many pretty,
tasteful homes, all speaking we'll for
the people and the town they help to
build.
One specially attractive feature In
the landscape is a sheet of water,
Crystal Lake, with its Emerald Isle,
raising the question in our mind, why
could not this be used as summer
resort? We have seen many no
prettier. if as pretty, in this land of
lakes, this stern state of storms, Min
nesota.
A town, like a person, is seldom one
sided, and you might accuse us of
fiattery could we find no fault herein.
There is one occurs to us now, most
noticeable. A few of the night-lights
lean too much rs to post, and are too
dingy as to glass; leaning in a confid-
ing way with half tipsy leer that, ill.,
voluntarily makes one shlver, and
Samaritan-llke cross over and pass
by on the other side. This truly
troubled us more than aught else we
saw amiss in any of our walks or
drives. The time passed all to rapid
ly, our resting place being where
every token about the home spoke
of refinement. peace and sweet con-
tent. She who places few sweet,
flowers upon the table of her guest,
leaves there book of choicest page,
lays down beside them character
key which though it turn but little,
tits enough TO show soul within,
pure, delicately sweet, as half un-
folded leaves OF roses are.
Having so thoroughly enjoyed Nor
ris, we scarcely feel like passing be-
yond its gates, perhaps forever, with
out word to those we leave behind.
Each one who plants tree, each
one who redrs home OF taste and
beauty, who places u book in the pub
lie library, who gives to church and
other avenues of good about him
helps bless our broad, free beautiful
America.
As we steam away, with our friends
"Golden rod' bowing and nodding
laughingly to us, in the soft summer
sunshine we wave a farewell to the
town already u mere speck OH the
horizon, saying: Could the years be
rolled back and this be Goldsmith,s
age, and Goldsmith we, then were
this our "Sweet-Arburn, loveliest vii
lage of the plain"
