The subject Of good roads con-
tinues prominent one. The county
commissioners of the state met at St.

The amount of loss occasioned each
year by bad roads in this country is
almost beyond belief and the sooner
they are made what they should be
the better for everybody.

Swift County Monitor: There is
considerable discussion just now on
the subject of who shall compose
the delegation from Minnesota to the
national Republican convention at
St. Louis. There is an urgent de-
mand for change that will shelve
the old fossils and send new men to
the front. The same crowd of poll
ticians has controlled the selection of
delegates for several years, and it is
not wild guess to say that they will
have a voice in the matter this year.
There are always large number of
kickers, but when the convention
meets they need someone to tell them
what to do-and there is always some.
one else ready to perform that duty
This is one reason why the kickers
never get any farther than the ante
