SENATOR CLApp.

Again money was not a factor in
the selection of United States Sen
ator from Minnesota, and General
Moses b. Clapp, once attorney gen
eral, free from corporation control,
and without money, is elected Unit
ed States Senator to succeed the
late Senator Davis.
From the standpoint of ability
Gen. Clapp has no superior in the
State, and he will go to Washington
with a chance to distinguish him
self as greatly as did his distin-
guished and lamented predecessor.
AS attorney general his opinions
were generally sustained by tho Su-
preme Court, land as a worker for
the people, be was earnest and sue
cessful. Gen. Clapp has been an
enthusiastic worker for the Repub-
lican cause, and his selection as
| United States Senator is a fit recog-
milton Of those services.
/ His leading opponents were men
of ability.and anyone of them would
have made a creditable selection,
and it is pleasing that they were
the first to congratulate him.
Gen. Clapp's selection prevented
the use of money in the Senatorial
election, and this is best of all. Had
the caucus adjourned without Sc.
lection the fight would have been
thrown in joint convention, the
Democrats would have been giver
an equal chance, and there is nc
telling what would have been the
result, or what the means would
have been of bringing about the re
suit.
The Republican party is to be
congratulated upon the result.

THE BOARD OF CONTROL,

The legislature will certainly pur-
sue a Wise.policy by enccting what
is known as the Torson bill provid-
ing for asState ,board of control, into
a law. Certain it is that such a
board, the members of which will
be on a fair salary, will be a great
deal more able to conduct the affairs
of the charitable institutions of the
State than can the various individu-
al boards, composed of men who are
not on salary, but merely draw a
per diem and mileage. They will
be better able to look after the wants
Of the patients or inmates, as well
as to superintend the administra-
ton Of those places. In purchases
of supplies it is very easy to per-
ceive that one commission purchas-
ing articles for all the institutions
can purchase them a great deal cas-
Ter than can the respective heads Of
the different institutions, who are

business end of newspaper is an
important end for publishers and
readers alike.
Over five years ago the publish
ers Of this paper resolved upon an
experiment. Times were hard then
for everybody, and labor and com
modities CORRESPONDENCE low in
price. So we reduced the price of
HE GAZETTE to one dollar per year.
It did not take five years to domon-
strate that our experiment was not
| a success as applied to a local paper,
and not based on sound financial
policy. Although the circulation of
the paper eventually doubled, the
financial gains of the publishers
were meagre as compared to that
of scores of farmers in this vicinity
who worked no harder with brains
and hands, but who applied sound
business methods to their calling.
When men are manufacturing any
product at bare profit above cost,
they must sooner or later do one of
two things-cheapen the product or
increase the selling price. Sound
business policy prompted the pub:
fishers of this paper, as we'll as
of most of the papers in this county,
to adopt the latter course, and re-
store the old subscription rate. Our
county is growing and THE GAZETTE
must grow with it, and keep at the
head OF the procession. We cannot
ask advertisers to bear all the cost.
| w 1uAouo VI Nv LII = UllClI away dIuO-
gether.
The GAZETTE is proud of the char
acter Of it's subscribers. It has few
worthless subscription accounts,
but the work of looking after 1900
different accounts is great, and for
the past year we have not made out
bills for all of these. What we
would ask, on the principle laid
down by the golden rule, is that
some of our subscribers would look
at the labels on their papers or
otherwise refresh their memories,
and thus save the labor of making
out many Of these bills. Will you?
Thus endeth the "business end
for the year 1901, so far as these
editorial columns are con cerned.

There is considerable kicking in
the State Senate over the appoint
ment of the members of the reap
portionment committee by Lieut..
Gov. Smith In making up this i'm
portant committee Mr.. Smith did
not confer with his party associates
and appointed two members of the
opposite political party to places on
that committee. When it is consid-
cred that by SO doing Mr.. Smith
disregarded two OF the largest con-
gressional districts in the State
there seems to be some ground for
the rumbling that is heard around
the State Capitol. This rumbling,
it is we'll to state, may be accompan-
led by a kind of political lightning
that will strike very close to the
lieutenant governor.
