KEEPS THE EDITOR BUSY,

The truth is, a strictly independent
paper, if it does not become an in1ioc1
uous mugwump, IS bound to do some
thing every day in the name of indie
pendence. Thus an independent editor
can never be idle; he can never
take day off; he cannot attend a bar
becue or a football game; he cannot 90
to the circus. 1t is no light position to
hold. He must earn his bread by the
sweat of his brow. If he paws trib-
ute to a party to-day, he must either
abuse it tomorrow or praise the, op7
position. There is no middle ground
for an independent editor. He must
either sympathize with all parties or
he must abuse them all, and in order
to do this to perfection, he must get up
early in the morning and go to bed
very late at night.-Atla',to Constitu-

WHILE the State Of Minnesota as a
whole has many reasons to be thank
ful to-day, the city of Minneapolis
should be particularly thankful for the
outcome of the recent bribery suit.
Several attempts to punish the mem
bers of the gang who have been bleed
ing the city failed and it had begun
to seem as though conviction of any
of them would be impossible. It was
therefore a matter OF surprise when
the jury brought in verdict of guilty
in the case against alderman Durham
and when a sentence of six and one
half years was given him the astonish-
ment increased. Minneapolis people
will eat their turkey to-day with

THE narrow escape which some Of

being run over by reckless driver,
draw attention to the fact. that such
things occur too frequently. With the
limited police protection which Prince
ton has it is impossible to put an end
to it unless the citizens themselves
take hand in the matter and by max
ing examples OF a few of the most
notorious of these drivers carry fear
to the remainder. If they will not
cease their lawlessness then, some

resorted to- The nuisance must be

What to Be Most Thankful For.

The lady who said she always had
good time because she always carried
her own good time with her had hit
upon the universal open secret Of hap
piness. 1t is the being SO firmly braced
within ones own mind that no outside
circumstance or misfortune can shake our
steadfast serenity and happiness. To a
mind that has learned thus to find it's
own good times in itself disaster, fire,
flood, famine, pestilence and death have
no terrors. That such mental state is
possible has been shown over and again.
Christian martyrs have sung with joy
in the flames. Those who have died for
liberty or great principle have gone
out Of life with their eyes full Of the
sunlight Of the eternal. That some
minds can overcome outside circum-
stances to such an extent proves the pos
sibility to exist in all minds. :.
Most mortals believe that if they had
this or that change in their outside
ives-if they were rich, if they were in
the SO called first social rank, if their
domestic affairs were different-they
would be happy. They are wrong, dead
wrong. Happiness is in ourselves, and
ourselves only. There is power in
every human being which will enable
him to control his own health and hap
piness and even his outward circum-
stances. The calm, Intelligent will, the
immovably kind temper, just, gener-
GUS nature, will in time gain for. hui
