Remarks


The Dispatch had a wonderful cartoon
recently showing what they are pleased
to term the railway merger and the
trust shrinking before President tioose-
velt's speech, labeled So 900 words.
Well, who on earth wouldn't run away
hard rather than face the prospect of
listening to $1,000 words concerning sey-
eral thousand things they already know!
So III. J. Rising, of the Farbault Jour-
nal, has been suspended as a rural in
spector, and Congressman Heatwole IS
endeavoring to help him regain it, and
thereby hangs tale. There was time
in Rice county when the Third district
congressman was unpopular, not only
with his political opponents, but with
his own party, and the Faribault Repub-
lican, the Pilot, and the other Democratic
paper there, and the Morristown news.
paper, were all knocking" him, so that
in the whole county he had only the sup
port Of his own paper, the Mortified
News. Rising had then just started the
Journal Republican,, and he too joined
in the hue and cry, when suddenly Ris-
ing'S paper stopped in its mad career and
came out with strong defense of the
congressman, and all his acts poStofficical
Ito invent a term and otherwise. Short
lily after Rising was appointed rural in
spector and he probably made a pretty
good one. But rumor gave the following
reason for the Journals sudden change.
A banker, closely connected with what is
locally known as the 'sHeatWole ring, in
Faribault, is said to have met Rising one
morning on his way to the Office and to
have demonstrated with him, calling his
attention to the fact that Heatwole had
not a single paper in the county taking
his part, and that gratitude for fayors
conferred might lead to substantial
reward for the conferrer. 1t is said that
the next issue of the Journal contained
the aforementioned defense of HeatWoIe
Congressman McCieary -.'had the hon

was the old Grout anti-oleomargarin
bill of dairy fame. Nothing is said about
an anti-poisonous- butter-color postscript
accompanying it. Therefore apparently
indigestible oieomargarine, we may stii!
be poisoned by all the legal butter color
anyone likes to use. 1t is said that Con-
gresham Tawney almost wept when he
found McCieary had stolen his oIeo-
margarine thunder, and declared it was
plagiarism, nothing but rank plagiarism.
That muchly daring young man in
Iowa, who broke a scarlet fever quar-
antine in order to visit his lady love,
must have thanked his lucky stars when
the family physician discovered him ana
ordered him to remain there the full
twenty-one days
But what a change must have come Ger
the spirit of his dream when the young
woman's irate mother, who objects to
his suit, declared he could stay if he had
to, but that he shouldn't get a bite to
eat in her house. Sadly then may have
occurred to him the words of the poet
when he wrote:
.s(Man1 may live without love-what is
love but repining!
But where is the man who can live with

Some of the Minnesota congressman
are threatening to show the secretary of
war that he had not at all got to the
Root of this training camp mater ana
that he had better prune his ideas to
suit Fort Smelling or they'll harrow his
feelings.
