If we had few more such iuries al


If we had a few more such juries as
tried the Wintner case Inch law would
be the only source of justice. That 4
,nan should be able to escape blameless
after having deliberately shot down an
other because he won $500 from him in
a poker game, is past comprehension.
There is no excuse for it and the men
who sat on that jury should be disquali-
fed from ever sitting on another. Both
men were gamblers and crooks but IN
life one was as good as the other.
The political joker is out with a new
one about congressman Eddy and the
seventh district. Redwood county is
part of the Seventh now and Mike Dow
ling is near by so some sG art fellow has
decided that Eddy will need help from
Redwood and in order to put him In a
position to get it he has made Eddy buy
the Redwood Gazette most improbable
and unnecessary thing. Ali Eddy needs
to do is to get down there and smile.
He has such a bomely face that nobody
can forget it when once they see it.
Anybody who knows Eddy knows that
he has trouble enough without getting
mixed up in a newspaper deal. And
besides there is Schmahl of the Gazette.
Certain newspapers already have him
elected secretary of state. No, Eddy
will hardly indulge in such a luxury.
AS year after year passes the people
see with regret that the great purpose of
the original establishment of a day to
commemorate the birthday of this nation
is being perverted. People forget its
purpose and many have no answer for
the question, why vas the day set apart?
The main idea seems to be license to
make as much noise as possible and
spend little surplus money foolishly.
THIS is the tendency which things seem
to have and people are deaf to any rea-
son along this line. A thousand people
will go to a ball game and a hundred
to listen to an oration. Hundreds will
spend the afternoon at games for prizes
and only few find time to listen to the
principles upon which this government
is laid. This is not as it should be-. In
a country where its citizenship is such a
complex mass of nationalities as this IS,
it is important that all should know the
circumstance out of which grew the
great commonwealth of which they are
justly so proud. A little less noise and
more patriotism is needed to make the
day what is was intended to be-
Three or more comparatively new pa
of them being over three weeks old and
each one of them making request that
people be prompt in paying up, because
they needed the money. This is the
class of periodicals. that disgust people
with newspapers sort Of kinder
garten work by papers started by fell
lows who dream of life of ease in the
field of newspaper work, without the
recommendation of a we'll learned trade
to back them. Ofcourse they need money,
but if they expect ever to make it in
such newspapers they will land on earth
some day with a terrible jar. 1t requires
money to run a newspaper but more
than money it requires good horse sense
and the number of fools who rush into
business at every cross roads corner and
set themselves up as great benefaction
to the community is as great as the num-
Der of cross roads. Newspaper business
is legitimate as long as it has purpose
and principle, but the almless, purpose
less way pursued by many of these pa
papers that are like mushrooms spring
ing up in night and dying in the morn :
ing sun always and forever crying for
money and giving but little in return,
is the bette noir of newspapers IN small
towns that are actual benefits to the
town. In fact a new town cannot well
afford to be without paper but that pa
per should exist for a purpose and not
as charity institution, and it will If the
man behind it has an object above that
of draining the people of money.
The color question in women's clubs
has entered on new phase. The Chari-
club of Boston has voted to withdraw
from the national federation on the
