4 AS the State fair approaches the
question Of transpo portation to and from
Hamline becomes uppermost in the
minds of those who intend to attend.
Heretofore no little inconvenience has
been caused by the inability of the
electric cars to handle the crowds
which have been in attendance, and
this year. with the promise Of the
greatest attendance in the history Of
the association, it is suggested that the
steam lines be put in operation. None
of the railroads have run their trains
since the advent Of the electric cars,
but this year there is ample reason to
expect corporation from this source.
No one enjoys being kept in q jam for
hours in vain attempt to reach or
leave the grounds, and the Union be-
lieves it to be the duty Of the fair offic-
ials to make such arrangements for
transpo portation as will accommodate
those in attendance.

a STRONG TICKET.

The ticket is a strong one and COM

trict. Messrs. Ferris, Jones, and
Hartshorn are well known to nearly
every Republican voter in the district,

session Of the legislature will gain for
them many votes in the coming CON
test. Mr.. Head is a new man to many
of our people in this end Of the district
but in his home county he is we'll and
favorably known, having been post
master at Princeton for some time, and
he will add considerable strength to

DOESN'T APPROVE IT.

In the hurly burly Of other things
the voters should not forget that this
fall they will have to vote on the prop
.osition to hold constitutional conven-
tion in this State; for the making of a
new constitution. This is a serious
matter and should be carefully consid-
cred. It is urged that our present con-
stitution was made in territorial days.
and is not now adequate to our needs
as a State. 1t is true that our. consti-
tuition was made a long time ago, but
this Of itself is not a defect, and we
have as yet seen no attempt to point
out q single particular in which the
constitution is defective by reason of
age. It is also urged that it has been
amended so often that it is now but a
piece of patchwork. This is also true
to a certain extent, but how long would
it be before new one would be equally
patched? Each succeeding legislature
will continue to try its hand at consti-
tutional patching, and the new instru-
ment ent would soon be in as bad condition
as the old. The Independent doubts the
urgency Of this matter and, believes
that it might be as we'll to struggle
along with the old constitution for a
while longer, rather than incur SO
great an expense at this time. North

SAGE ADVICE.

No use feeling unfriendly towards,
those who disagree with you in poll
tics. It's foolish and don't pay Most
mon are honest in their opinions; they
believe they are right and, after all,
they may be and you may be wrong.
Therefore, read and learn and think
and get all the light you can and then
vote accordi ngly, but don't get mad;
don't deny your neighbor the right to
disagree with you, and don't get the
foolish notion into your head that you
know it all. Albert Lea Standard.
