Sleepy Eye Dlspatch: That the
Youngers they should want to get
out of Saltwater is but natural; that
they should be given their freedom,
however, is different matter alto
gether. Mercy should not be all on
one side. In the halcyon days Of
their youth the Youngers knew no
such word. What they meted out to
others was not mercy. In their
criminal career, mercy was not their
watch word. 1t was stand and de-
liver with Jim and Cole.
Spring Valley Vidette: To those
who have seen the photograph of the
man wanted for the California mur-
der there does not appear to be any
resemblance to Nader, and the young
man is doubtless the victim of the
crazy notion Of a w0uld-be detective,
but nevertheless he is now in the
Jail at Austin and will have to re-
main there until word come from the
authorities in California, to whom
the picture Of Nader was sent.
Pipestone Star: One Of our young
men has been having severe spell at
Of observation-disclosures lately. The
place where he is employed has tele-
phone, and one day short time ago
he was compelled to answer a 'phone
call many times. That night as he
sat reading book in his room an
alarm clock suddenly rang in an
adjoining room. The absent-minded
youth jumped up and commenced to
yell Hello! Hello!" and when the
occupant of the other room inquired
as to the cause Of the yelling the
young man said in sheepish manner;
"Oh, I thought it was the telephone
bell ringing.''
Usage News: When Grand Meadow
voted in favor Of license last spring it
was feared by some business men in
Spring Valley that all the trade
| would go to the former place: but &C.
cording to reports the merchants of
the village complain now that many
Of the people there pay their money
into the saloon and ask for credit at
the stores. Moreover, number of
the farmers have banded themselves
together to do no more trading at
Grand Meadow as long as they have a
saloon and they will 60 to Spring
Valley where they have none. When
temperance people assert themselves
and their rights they are great
power in a community.
NOrthield News: The pardon Of
the Younger brothers would be as
widely advertised as their crime. Let
it be known all over the country that
this most conspicuous crime of mod
ern times has been condoned because
Of importantly on one hand and
amia bility on the other, every crimil
al in the land will take heart and
every thoughtful citizen will be dis
mayed. Crime will be encouraged,
and the indignant public will be i'm
PEELED to the lynch law remedy.
Society will be less secure than be-
fore. The second Missouri raid upon
Minnesota will be more serious in it's
consequences than the first one twen-
ty years ago.
Minneapolis Times: This country
sends abroad $500, 100000 for foreign
sugar every year. But at the present
rate at which capital is seeking in
vestmen Mt in sugar beet and beet sugar
industries, it will not be long before
we shall cease to import sugar and
shall be keeping our money at home.
And it does not require remarka ble
acumen to see that the time is not
distant when in all probability the
United States will not only be manu-
featuring it's own sugar but competi-
tiOn in the industry, as it has done in
80 many others, will reduce the pro-
fits far below the expectation of those
who now look upon the business as a
great bonanza.
