Behind the Times.

In one Southern town a paper still
advertises low rates to the worlds fair,
and another recently published an &C
count of the Atlanta exposition, which
closed over a year ago. In Minnesota,
however, people are more up-to-date,
and, in fact, the whole Northwest has
that modern spirit, evidenced by the
SAINT Paul & Duluth Railroad, or Duluth
Railroad, or Duluth Short Line, as it is
popularity known. This line runs the
most modern equipment rapidly over a
smooth roadbed at convenient hours.
and makes close connections at hand
some terminals. 1t WINS the public be-
cause its trains are fast and comfortable,
and it enjoys popularity with those who
travel between the Twin Cities and Du-
luth, West Superior, saltwater and Tay-
lor's Falls. Always buy your ticket over
the Duluth Short Line. For informa-
ton apply to ticket agents, or write to

The Voice of the People.

II there is any truth in the adage,
"Yox populi, vox Dei"-the voice OF
the people is the voice Of God-then
Charles S. Starkweather is the rightfu'
mayor of the city of Superior, since, in
dependent of any political party, indie
pendent of any caucus, without any
organization to aid him, III the face of a
record which would have crushed an
ordinary man, the people of Superior
have elected him their chief magistrate.
THE TINES did not support Mr.. Stark
weather, not because We considered him
incapable Of doing right, but because
we believed that the regular Republican
nominee, Mr.. Ekstrand, was the best
fitted by reputation and experience to
fill the mayors chair at this critical
time.
There were many causes which led up
to the result of Tuesdays mayoralty
contest.
First, there was an impression in the
minds of Mr. Pattison's friends that he
was wrongfullv deprived of the nomi-
nation. and, naturally, those people east
their votes where they would be most
felt by his enemies.
Second, there were those who be-
lieyed that this WAS not the time to
swap mayors, and being forced by false
friends of Mr.. Pattison to make another
choice they preferred Mr.. Starkweather
to Mr.. Ekstrand or Mr.. Monro.
Thirdly, the election was a protest
against machine rule, and in favor OF
divorcing party politics from municipal
affairs.
Fourth, there seems to have been a
belief among the people. streng.hed by
recent decision of the Supreme court,
that Mr.. Stark Gather had been illegally
impeachei, and, human like, Christian
like, they took advantage Of the oppor-
tunity to give him chance to redeem
himself
Fifth, the abuse heaped npon Mr..
Starkweather by the daily press of the
The days when newspaper abuse could
help any good cause haye passed. The
people have ceased, and for good and
sufficient reasons, to accept utilization
rs argument.
AS for THE TINES, we have not said an
Nnkind word of Mr.. Stark weather dur
ing this contest. We had no desire to,
and while we think another man should
have been elected, we accept the YER
diet of the people, all the more cheer
fully because it seems to have been a
free expression of their will, and trust
that Mayor Starkweather will so adj
minister the affairs of our city as to re-
fleet honor alike upon it, his friends
and himself.
He has now the opportunity of his
life, and by his acts he will be judged.

DEAR MADAM Kindly give me
space in your paper to express myself
in regard to a communication from II.
w. Holley on college Wisdom which
appeared recently in the TINES. Why
such an article is given space at all is
more than l can comprehend. for it at
lacks a most worthy institution.
IfMr. II. has ever had any experience
in farming he will know that some seeds
are sown in the fall; hence the distinc-
ton. Possibly Mr.. II. has had years of
experience in raising sugar-beets. If
SO, he will be dong the farmers of the
L. S. a great favor by imparting to them
some of his pent up knowledge, for the
seed has been but recently introduced
and the horny handed tillers of the soil
know but little in regard to it. With
the exception of the state and govern
ment experiments, little has been done
in the way of raising sugar-beets as a
general crop.

he has undoubtedly noticed that large
percentage of the farmers are foreigners,
and a treatise replete with high sound
ing English and Latin phrases would
not attain its object among them.
Go into a grocery store, Mr.. H., and
pick up package of garden seed. Do
you not find printed thereon the sim
plest kind of directions? PLANT in
spring, SOW in rows, cultivate, hoe, dig
before FROST etc, etc. If you do not
find such directions l have my doubts
about the seed coming from reliable
scotsman.
He may want to change this method
of giving instructions to farmers but he
Is not going about it in the right way
In closing. let me say that it would
be better if Mr.. III. confines his sarcastic
attacks to the institutions of bis own
section of country, for then he may be

An elaborate study of The New

interesting comparison between the
American and British administrative
systems, pointing out the distinction
between ministry" and Cabinet" in
both theory and practice; be also treats
quite fully of Mr.. Mckinley process of
cabinet-building, its various difficulties
and adjustments, and outlines the note
worthy characteristics of the Presidents
official family as finally selected, both
individually and IN ensemble The
article further defines 1.-The larger ex-
ecutlve group at Washington''-the var
ious assistant secretaryships, and i'm
portans bureau headships. and so tar as
possible the reader is informed as to
the personnel and status of these i'm
portant Offices for the coming four years
Altogether, Or. Shaw has made in this
article an exceptionally useful contripu-
ton TO current history.

WHY They Sold.

George A. wilkins, Secretary of
the Alabama Telephone and Con-
struction Company, in conversation
with a reporter of The Journal this
morning, said, in answer to a ques-
ton as to why the company aban-
doned the telephone business in
Selma: 1.-THE simple reason was
that the exchange was not paying
expenses, and there was no prospect
of its doing so at the prices charged.
1t appeared to be impossible, with
the instruments used, principally
the Harrison, to give satisfactory
service, or service that would
bear comparison with the Bell.
This was constant source of COM
plant and annoyance.
ut is all well enough to talk
about home institutions and local
influences, but the investors want
and expect to receive some returns
on their investment, and the people,
the patrons of the telephone ex-
change, want, demand, and must
have, good service. The prices
charged and the instruments used
by our company would bring neither,
and this is the reason why we aban-
doned the field. Selma Journal,
