ONE of the warmest cOmmenda-
tions Governor Van SAINT has re-
ceived since he took the oath Of
Office came from the outside party.
The Winona Independent, an indie
pendent paper, says of him, edi-
torially: 1.-The Independent will
not congratulate Governor SAINT;
he does not need it along with the
clear conscience he must have.
But the independent does congratu-
late Minnesota on having such q
governor. From the time that
Governor Van SAINT was sworn in
to the present moment he has
made a spotless record of duty
performed without fear or favor.
He has done the right thing in
the right place every time, and
some of the problems which came
before him would have tested the
wisdom of the best Statement. Inc
Independent, knowing the history
of Minnesota, feels secure in say
ing that the present record main
tanned the rest of his term will
easily mark MI. Van SAINT as the
best governor the state ever had. :"
1t need only be added to this
enconium, that Governor Van
SAINT is maintaining this record,
and he will continue to do so.

WE have all hear the children's
couplet: ''what goes up must come
down on your head OF on the
ground" Or something running
like that. It is the same with cop
per and other stocks. There is
limit to which these articles can be
thrown upward. There is bound
to be a downward flight. The
question hard for spectators to
decide is where the upward move
ment is to cease. Too many are
anxious to take the last half dol
lar, and, while waiting for that,
the descension occurs. When the
fall begins few will sell because
they think there will be recovery
next day, and when that time ar
rives the price has shrunken so
that the holder feels that he can
not sell, preferring to hold on till
the slump is over. Where the
brains are generally demanded in
this stock-dealing business is in
the selling. Anyone with the
money and fair idea of conditions
and the value of property can
buy. There is always plenty of
stock to be had; but when it comes
to taking profits the average in
vestor is sore perplexed. Know
ing we'll he has a good profit he
persists in wanting more. There
seems to be notion in the mind
of the average speculation in this
section that it is disgrace not to
receive the very highest price re-
corded for his speciality. If he
sells and makes profit Of ten dol
lars per share and the market ad-
vances few points after he has
closed out his deal he worries and
curses his'hard'luck for not remain
ing in q few days longer. 1t is
the man who knows how to sell,
and who recognizes a reasonable
profit, who comes out the winner.
The fellow who tries for the top
notch generally gets called upon
for margins for his pains. Iron

AN Associated Press dispatch
says that 0. Halden, county audi
tor of this county, will be candi-
date for state auditor next year.
There is no doubt in the mind of
anyone in St. Louis county, and
many other counties as we'll, that
Halden has proven himself the
most fit man in the state to handle
this branch of government. He
is, by all odds, the most convers-
ant man on tax matters the state
can produce today, and as ''Bob''
Dunn says, ''the best auditor in
the state" we sincerely hope the
press dispatches are no joke. Be-

BEING A BOY.

Charles Dudley Warner, the eminent author, who died recently, once wrote: One of the best things in the world to De is boy: it requires no eziperi- euce, though it needs some practice to be q good one. The disadvantage Of the position is that it does not last long enough. It is soon over. Just as you get used to being boy you have to be some thing else. with q good deaf more work to do and not half so much fun. And yet every boy is anxious to be a man, and is very uneasy with the restrictions that are put upon him iis a boy. There are so many brl9ht spots in the life of a farm boy that l sometimes think 1 should like to live the life over again. l should almost be willing to be a girl il 1t We're not for the chores. There is q great com fort to a boy in the amount of work he can get rid of doing. It is some times astonishing how slow he can go on an errand. Perhaps he couldn explain to himself why, when he is sent to q neighbours after yeast, he stops to stone frogs. He is not exact ly cruel. but he wants to see lf he can hit them.

son of the seniority rule of the senate he will become chairman of the com mittee.
 In the biennial senate changes it sell dom happens that man who stands fifth on the majority side of q commit tee steps into the craftsmanship. But the states of Colorado. New Hamp- shire and Montana having selected other men in place of the veterans, and the aged senator from Iowa having passed away. Senator Mascn will be advanced. The writer has seen so many men come and go, and so many changes occur, that he cares little for individuals in making estimates of na- tional affairs. And yet il is truth to say that in sending new and untric4 men in places Of Wolcott, Chandler and Carter, the states sending them have weakened their own state influence in the senate, and have weakened the sen ate very materially. Time may show, however, that the incoming senators are we'll worthy their advancement to the dignity which has been conferred upon them.
 While the senate will be weakened by losing such men, it is fortunately continued in strength and potency be- fore the world by the reelection of Senators Elkins, of West Virginia; Frye, of Maine; Hoar, of Massachu- setts; McMiLan, of Michigan; Morgan, of Alaba ma; Nelson, of Minnesota; Sewell, of New Jersey; Warren, of Wyo- ming, and Wetmore, of Rhode Island. These able and experienced statesmen will prove to be a power in the land, because they will uphold the dignity and ability of our great deliberatiye body.
 It is great loss to the state of Idaho and to the senate that Senator Shoup, of that state, is to be retired. Never- theless, in the selection of ex-Senator Dubois the state of Idaho is to be con- graduated, because she sends not an inexperienced man, but one who has served with credit in the house of rep resentatives and in the senate. He is well equipped for the work which he will easily take up. The political con- victions of these men cut no figure in the mind of one who views them dis. passionately. They come here not as politicians from the several states, but as members of the great national body of statesmen.

 She wanted her sled very badly and the keefe boy volunteered to get It for her. A crowd of children watched him make the trip to the rails.
 Just as young Keefe reached the tracks and was picking up the sled q switch engine on the Derby division of the Consolidated road struck him. He was taken to the hospital and died shortly after. His head was crushed.
 The police do not know the name of fhe child whose sled Keefe was res Icuing. The dead boy was the only child of ll4 widowed mother.
