THE QUALITY FRAUD.
If YOUR EDITION is SMALL BRAG
ABOUT QUALITY.
editor Printers Ink.)

The publisher who will not talk about
quantity has nothing but quality to
discuss, and it often happens that the
one who says most about quality has
as little of that to brag about as he
has of quantity. TO the majority of
business men one paper is as good as
another and worth as much for adver-
Using purposes. The next largest class
Is Inclined 10 belleVe q paper ValuaDie
in proportion to its age. From these
classes come the advertising failures.
The wise advertiser limits his patron
age as nearly as possible to the papers
that will tell how many copies are
issued. Quantity of circulation with
out quality may not be worth much to
an advertiser, but quality without
quantity is worth nothing. The young
housewife who asks of the butcher:
How much a pound is your beef"
may feel abashed when told that price
is graded by the quality, but she still
wants to pay for tenderloin by the
pound. The biggest frauds upon adj
vertisers are the newspaper men who
harp most upon the quality of their
circulation and maintain silence on the
subject of how much.

Office is large and neat, the rooms
bright and airy and all newly fur

tresses and oak furniture. The dining
room is delightfully."- pleasant and at
tractive.

wife, who is every way capable, will
set first-class table. and offer every
inducement tor public patronage.
There is convenient barn in con-
nection with the house and farmers

Dem ocratic Legislative convention

On Tuesday afternoon the demo-
Gratis of this district met in convention
and ratified the slate. Frank E. Min
nette was nominated for member of
the legislature, and is now fairly in
the field for the honor.
Frank Mohs presided and Geo. In
gram acted as secretary. After get
ting resolution adopted that any de-
feated candidate should pledge HIM
self not to run as an independent can
didate, a ballot was taken, and of the
thirty votes cast Mr.. Minnette re-
cesved twenty-two, and j. M. Gilletzer
of Zion, received eight. Mr.. Gillet-
ger moved that the nomination be
made unanimous.
George Chase of this city made the
speech of the convention in SecOndlng
Mr.. Minnette's nomination. He said
the party was facing an awful crl-
sis, and the hope of the nation lay in
the nomination of his candidate. In
his acceptance speech Mr.. Mlnnette
said that there is hard fight Oh hand
to pull through himself, Bryan, Lind
and Truelsen, and he is right. He
understands the situation. The con-
vention then adjourned.
WEST END CLUB.
B. w. How thought it would be
wise for the west end OF StearnS to
have a large, strong, solid club-for
future use against the east end, and a
mass meeting was held for the purpose
of organizing. DIR. Dubois happened
to be present as a spectator, merely,
and he was called upon to outline the
purposes of club. He made quite an
elaborate speech in which he took oc-
casion to remark that he didn't like.
political trusts in general nor the one
in Stearns county in particular. Ii
there are to be any trusts OF that kind
he wants to be one of the trustees.
He quoted from Abraham Lincoln and
remarked that he freed 4, 900, 600 slaves
in the south, and that Mark Hanna
was trying to make 10, 1000, 600 more in
the PHILIPPINES. OF course this is to be
taken as one of the Doctors strong
figures of speech. He remembers that
his party stood almost as aunt against
Lincoln in his slave-freeing policy,
called him an imperialist and any
number of unpleasant names, and &C
cused him of attempting to subdue the
states in rebellion contrary to the
Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution of the United States, that
they might be governed without their
consent. Same old democracy, same
old campaign talk, and same old re-
suits await. Tie Doctor incidentally
remarked that "the. road to He'll is
Steep and slippery and it is hard
work for his party to climb it, but
they proposed to keep pegging away
at it.
Att close of his remarks he was
elected president OF the club and B..
w. How, secretary. A vice. president
was named in each town In the dis
] trict.
