ALREADY the citv DaDers h

ALREADY the city papers have
commenced to apportion the four
delegates at large to the National
Republican convention. All the
calculations are based on giving
st. Paul and Minneapolis each a
delegate, and the names of some
reputable gentlemen are mentioned
IN connection Herewith. The
UNION objects to the pre-ar-
ranged plan of apportioning dele
gates. The combined population
of the Twin Cities is 297, 1914, of
the State outside the two cities,
l,oo3,932. Why should St. Paul
and Minneapolis be permitted to
name two delegates and the
balance Of the State only two?
One delegate between them is all
st. Paul and Minneapolis can
rightfully claim.

Farm and Factory.

Prosperity to the farmer means
similar conditions to all who
labor; but prosperity must first
come from the farm, and through
the farm to the factory. The farm
stands at the threshold of produc-
ton, and if the farmers labor 90
unrewarded success can not come
to those who base their hopes upon
what he produces. The vast inter
est represented in manufacturing,
transportation, mining, and the
minor Industries must look to
agriculture as basis for all cal
culations for the future. It then
follows that the home market is
the market worth considering; and
the political party which aims to
impair it's consuming power should
be denounced as a common enemy.
publicly arrayed against pros
perity.
All perishable products must
find a market near home to be
valuable. 1t is far easier to bring
the factory with its employees to
.
the vicinity Of the farm than it
is to transport the perishable prod
uct to the great centres Of trade.
The increase Of farm property
within a radius of ten or twenty
miles Of q large factory can be
used to, demonstrate this truth.

FROM CHICAGO.
Rev. w. u. Warner Greets His
Princeton Friends.

Princeton Friends.
DEAR Union: No. paper Of the
fifteen or more that comes to
me is opened more eagerly than the
Princeton UNION. It is like a
personal letter from a friend. I
would like to write to many
friends there but the hours are so
full in my new work that every
minute brings it's demands. T
never knew before what work was.
and problems SO different from
any that we had ever met in the
country. New methods have to be
devised to meet needs of which we
had never even known. We begin
now to feel at home, but at first
the bewilderment Of being one of
so vast a multitude was unpleas-
ant. .@.s .:ss.. .a !
1t is with keen regret now that
we think of our children being
here during the hot months of
summer.
The city has many delights, but
they can hardly compensate for
the loss Of the pure air and water
and the glorous freedom of the
country. A great city is the last
place [ would advise a young man
to go to. [ am meeting every day
those who have come here to try
and get start, and unless they
have friends to help them it is
very hard to get a foothold.
After all has been said that can
of cheaper prices for merchandise
in the city, it remains true still
that a man can live on third less
in the country. Car fare, water
tax, high rents and many other ex-
penses call for cash, cash all the
time. Then if a, man is sick or
has the misfortune to get out of
work how remorselessly the crowd
moves on and treads him under
foot. [ am meeting women of re-
fined tastes and excellent ability,
struggling for a foothold with
poverty staring them in the face.
But city life is many sided. It
is not all a submerged truth. It's
busy, throbbing life is wonderful
inspiration. One sees much and
lives fast. In a single week one
can have chance to hear half a
dozen Of the greatest speakers and
some of the greatest singers of the
world.
In the summer a day in Lincoln
Park is a delight. Last fall, while
it was still warm, we took the
children and, in company with
another family, spent a whole day
among the flowers, birds, animals,
monuments and beautiful walks of
the above park. The children
when tired of looking at the sights,
rested themselves by playing in
the sand on the lake shore.
When in Chicago our friends
can find us at IS Alice Place, and
we'hope to see many of them yet.
The warmest greetings to you
all. .. .s.g

Lazy, Stingy and Selfish.

A recent incident of mans inhu-
manity to woman is related from
down east. After she had mixed
the COWS, strained the milk into
thirteen stone crooks, carried the
crooks down into the cellar, skim
med the cream, washed the crooks
and put them on the fence palings
to dry, heated SKINNED milk for
the calves and carried it to the
barn for them, got the cream
ready for cffurning, put her hus-
bands supper on the table, and
then hurried to take the crying
baby, the farmers wife said that
she was tired, and asked her hus-
band to buy portable creamery,
in order to tighten her labors.
The farmer replied that he couldn't
afford it, and the next day he went
to town and bought a riding pillow,
paying for it with the butter
money Bush CSty Post.
