An Expected Kick.

No one dreamed for q moment
that the railways and the Commits
sioners would let the GREAT WEST
have the credit for forcing the ap-
pointment Of On agent atLuce, in OF
ter Tail County. One of the Com
missioners. Williams, is from Otter
Tail County, and it is a little hard to
think that an ordinary newspaper
should disclose such an astounding
outrage as was being perpetrated at
that little village.
Nor do we want the credit alone.
Hon. Henry Plowman worked with
us all his might. But we will state
that Luce does not end the matter.
The bomb-shell factory is at work
and if the Commission want to
crowd the ramparts with any new
blown courage they better be get
ting in their ammunition.
The Battle Lake Review reviews
the matter and claims that what
was done was done by the railway
company and the Commissioners
without knowing what the GREAT
WEST was up to-and did it willing
~. Did? Now see here let us have
q little horse-sense in this matter.
Did not the GREAT WEST publish the
correspondence OF the railway COM
pany declining to appoint an agent
there because the business of last
year amounted to some paltry six
hundred dollars?
And didn't the GREAT WEST track
up a business Of $16, 900 during that
time?
Had not the cold winter nearly
gone by-with that compulsory-built
station house boarded up-doors and
windows?
Hadn't every appeal been denied :?
And they didn't know what the
GREAT WEST was doing? Singular
isn't it And yet lady friend told
a railway official, whom we never
saw or heard of. that she was to call
at this offlce-and she was promptly
informed that DR.. Fish is not at
home anyway, he's out to ------
today lecturing!"
Now you can just reckon, Bro.
Strain, that the GREAT WEST did
cause the move that was made by
the officials-and we are pleased to
think they acted so promptly.

The Text Book Question

Is q matter which should be very
gravely considered. With three
thousand counties in the q. s. and
over 10000 townships, and often
thousands OF school pupils in a town
ship and included municipality, and
rarely less than $50 in rural districts,
there is an expense for school books
closely approaching twenty million
dollars q year. The school book
publishers in former years had q
glorious time of it. Text books were
changed nearly every year. The
loss in this respect was truly enor-
nous! Then the prices were up so
high that we wonder now, looking
backward, that there was not trouble
made long before there was q
change.
Our attention is called to this mat
ter by a valuable article in the
Cedar Rapids Gazette, Iowa. They
have just discovered there that an
imaginary line lying between the
two states divides q dollar almost in
the middle-the Iowa children are
paying nearly a dollar for what the
Minnesota little star-twinklers only
pay so to 6Oc. for. That this is true
is shown by tables of cost.
Minnesota shares these advantages
with California, where the state also
publishes it's own text books. Wash
ington and Indiana use the contract
system also, and Iowa is about to
enter into the same plan. There are
probably other states doing the
same. Iowa is usually in advance in
all reforms, but if ever caught nap
ping she usually plunges ahead until
she overtakes the van. Her legisla-
ture will take the matter up this win
ter,

l now call your attention. to facts
cited by Henry Clay in a speech in
the U. S. Senate.
In Ohio. with all her abundance,
it was hard to get money to pay
taxes.
The sheriff of Muskingum county
sold at auction 10 hogs al 6 IA cents
each, 2 ho1ses worth $50 each at 81
each, 2 cows at 81 each, q barrel of
sugar for$ 81 so and store goods at
the same rate.
The sheriff of Pike county, Mo-, sold
2 horses at 81 so each, q large OK at
12h CENTS, 5 cows,.2 steers, and 1
calf. the lot for 81. IS, n hogs for Is
CENTS, the lot apd1 hogsheads of
tobacco for IS.
These are facts. not theories, and
We challenge thoss,who advise ''woak

ments or theories, and defy any one
to show that any country was ever
prosperous when currency was limit
ed, to less than the needs OF the COM
munity or nation.
1t has been said that economists
teach differently. Suppose they did,
would that alter q fact?
Scientific men taught that the earth
stood still, that the blood in our
veins did not course through our. sys-
TENS, but their teachings did not
prove they were right.
Scientific men laughed at EultDn,
denied Moore, sneered at Columbus
and crucifed our Saviour. Buts il it
true that politicaR economists teach
that small volume of currency is
better for us-that is-a, cash basis
for certificates, which in this. country
we call greenbacks? Hume, in his
Essay on Money, taught differently.
Crawford, Secretary Of tho Treasury
in 1920, Hunter, U. S.. Senator in
1852, agree that decreasing currency
produces poverty and want. The
greatest per cent. Of our political
fathers SO taught.
Seyed, Fauchet. RothesehiR, Prof.
Laveleye, Smith, Mills, Prof. Jevons,
Wayland, Bowen, Thompson, Ric-
ardo, Tooke. Perry, Prof. Ghevalier,
Jacobs, Walker, Smye, Iinderman,
Faucett, Cary and q host Of others,
all the great economists OF authority
agree that contraction OF currency is
fatal to the poor, to- those that are
in debt, and detrimental to couu-
try's prosperity.
Ishoula be glad if! some of tho
"Gold Base theorists would UNDER
