Thoughts About Things


requested the state department at Wash
ington to submit series of questions to
our consuls abroad concerning the poll
cy of our manufacturers to sell goods
abroad at a lower price than to home
consumers. The department., however,
pigeonholed the proposition, probably
under the impression that the champion
of lumber tariff was only joking, and
now the first district statesman is mad
because people refuse to take him seri-
ously.-St. Peter Free Press.
There are several things connected
with the lumber and with our friend
Tawney that need explaining, and there
are several other things connected with
tariffs, ETC., that will need changing be-
fore the people will be entirely satisfied.
Hicks predicted storm period from
July 13 to II, and also states that from
the 25th TO the Goth of this month will
occur the severest storms of the month,
after which time the weather will be-
come much cooler. Morton Enterprise.
Most people are agreed that the man
who lies for charity's sake is benefac.
tor so don't be too hard on Hicks he
probably was hedging against this awful
weather.
The West st. Paul Times, kind enough
to compliment the Herald, and quoting
paragraph from this paper relative to
the state political situation, says: eve
believe that this paragraph fairly sums
up the situation, as we'll as the national,
is giving the people good satisfaction.
Rock County Herald.
Without questioning or crediting the
truth of the above statement it is enough
to say that any man who considers him
self complimented by anything the st.
Paul Times says is looking among the
rubbish for pearls.
DIR. ii. NJ. Bracken, secretary of the
state board of health, has suggested that
conference of all the health officers of
the state be held at the Twin Cities this
fall with the hope that concerted ac-
tion may be arrived at for the control of
infectious diseases. It is to be hoped
that something along this line may be
accomplished, for while we have not
much to fear from small pox in the light
form that is now prevalent, it is abso-
lutely necessary to stamp 1t out if posi-
BILE before it assumes more malignant
type.-Anoka Herald.
If some of the health officers would
take lessons from the New UIm board
they would soon be rid Of the pestilence.
A clean city and a vigllant health officer
is all that is necessary.
Carlysle D. Graham is the name of a
crank who has for the second time pass
ed over the falls of Niagara in barrel.
He escaped being dashed to bits each
time, but there is limit to all things
and Graham Will tempt providence once
too often if he keeps on.--Le Sueur Sen
tinel.
1t is question whether it is tempting
providence more for man to 90 over
the falls in barrel or not to 90 over
the falls with barrel in him. The man
and the barrel somehow seem to stay
pretty close together,
Had it not been for the Governor and
his commission, there would have been
no reception and banquet, and the whole

Thus speaks the Alexandria Post
