If reports are true the particular
Republicans of St. Cloud who are
opposing the nomination Of Lee
and supporting Clough are the
ones who have or have had public
position through the Republican
party. In most. cases the posi-.
tions were secured because the
Repu blicans Of such neighboring
counties az Todd and Morrison
supported the aspirations of the
Stearns county men. These men
may just now feel bound to the
Clough machine, but it is very
poor politics for their community
! to follow them in opposing the
Todd county candidate for gov
ernor. If the Office holders have
debts to pay to Clough it is no
reason why the mass Of Republi.
cans of Stearns county should
allow their influence to be given
against VIM. E. Lee. These
counties should help each other,
and even the Office holders of ST..
Cloud can gain no permanent
advantage by opposing the Re-
publicans Of the counties that
have always been friendly to
Stearns county interests. The
leaders who would abandon their
old supporters in neighboring
counties, for the sake Of what has
been given by the appointing
power, are unworthy to longer be
leaders.

HIDING HER, DIAMONDS.

Take Lesson From the Woman Who Put
Hers In Her Old Shoes.
A group of Washington women had
been telling each other where they hid
their treasures from possible thieves.
One used her pillowcase, a second had
a pocket on her stocking, another the
lining Of her picture hat, when third
s,said she. always tucked things in her old
shoes.
4 "Then you want to take warning from
the experience of a friend Of mine, p"
said Mrs. Tarsney of Missouri. 'She
had beautiful diamond rings, ornaments,
earrings and other articles, and when an
epidemic Of burglaries came along she
took to hiding her diamonds in her old
est shoes. One night she was awakened
by burglars down stairs. She thought II
they heard some one moving about they
would take fright and run away with
out attempting to come up where she
was So she went to the head of the
stairs, but the burglars kept on and
didn't mind her in the least. She hur-
ried back into her room, caught up the
first articles that came handy and sent
them over the balusters After they had
left her hand she was struck with horror
to discover her old shoes humping down
the stairs, attended by shower of her
diamonds. Luckily the shoes did the
work. The burglars didn't stop to inves-
tigate, and the woman had strength
enough to gather up her jewels, all Of
which she found except one earring. The
next day the maids had to sweep the
entire floor to discover that. But she
doesn't use her old shoes as diamond
safes since. "-Phi]adelphia Press.

largely upon the press. Most gratefully
would we recognize the immense help
we have already received from the daily
and weekly papers. They have not only
given large space in their news columns,
but almost every paper has commended
our efforts in its editorial columns.
We are confident that we can depend
upon the press still to help Us in our Of
forts. We want all to know the .city's
needs and to note the abuses. "Igno-
rance is the mother Of Indifference
Eternal vigilance is not only the price
Of liberty, but Of pure politics and clean
officials. We believe our press, as a
whole, will stih aid us in our. efforts to
arouse civic pride which seems to be
dormant in SO many Of our citizens. -:
May we not appeal for moral support
to that large class in our city who, fol-
lowing the common accepted title, are
denominated the laboring classes? We
have talked with many Of their repre-
sentative men on three or fur occasions
and have been met with sympathetic
interest. We are striving most earnestly
for better government, in which they,
with us, are interested.
They have spoken to US most earnest
words against the election of weak and
Indifferent men. We are striving for
proportional representation, through
which they can have full representation,
and when things for which theyoontend
will have respectful hearing in a posi-
tion of influence. The problems Of the
next century are to be more and more
the problems Of human brotherhood.
We have not common ancestry or q
common religion, but are Of many ma
tions and many religions. We want to
fuse all interests together under the
mighty inspiration and purpose to have
q city in which there shall be no slums
to contaminate and destroy, but where
schools and public institutions Of every
name shall be the best in all the world.
Has not the time fully come when,
unless all our interests are to be imper-
lied, many must subordinate their
business and their pleasures for the pub
lie veal? And out Of it will come pur-
er and better city and nobler and
higher standard Of life. .. 60 u !, : :
As a league we recognize no sectarian
creed in the public business, but we
stand together for public righteousness
and truth and upon the common plat
form Of American citizenship. For the
third time this league makes this decla-
ration Of it's principles and enters upon
another year Of effort. .,-
The lamented Bishop Brooks left the
world this sentiment, ''No man has
come to true greatness who has not felt
in some degree that his life belongs to
his race" May we not add that no man
has come to true citizenship who has
not felt in some degree that his life be-
longs to the state?
