At last John Lind has found out
where he is at. He has been a long
time at it, and wobbled around from
one political element to another and
also ATTEMPTED to stand alone, but at
last he has brought up in the ranks OF
Democracy, making public acknow-
Judgement of the fact at the Jefferson
banquet in Minneapolis the other eve
ming. And the way he pitched into
his former Republican friends must
have made the most dyed-in-the-w wool
of the great unterriied feel in most
mellow mood. John is their only hope
for the governorship in Minnesota and
they care not for the Inconvenience
and hardships they entail upon him if
through him they can gain an opening
at the official pap. But while the
former governors remarks may have
cen an op enipg gun for the Demo-
cratic nomination, as some take 1t, II
is to be noticed that while he con-
demned the Republicans and every
thing they have done or attempt
ed, he did not condemn the attempted
violation of the state laws by the mer-
ger. And the people will remember
the fact that that is just where ne
will stand should he enter the field as
gubernatorial candidate. There is
no other place for him, for Gov. van
SAINT stands as the peoples candidate,
and for the strict enforcement of state
laws

Value of a Good Buttermaker.

Fairmont Sentinel: The good
buttermaker is worthy of his hire.
In this occupation above all others a
cheap man is not wanted. In the
hands of the buttermakers more than
in the hands of the dairymen them
selves lies the success or failure of the
dairy interests of our state. So long
as the creameries are in the hands OF
progressive, enterprising and enthusiz
astic men the dairy interests are sure
to prosper. There are many matters
connected with dairying to which the
dairyman must look 70 the buttermaker
for guidance and direction and unless
the buttermaker is a student and an
enthusiast he cannot supply this de-
mand upon him. If your creamery is
in the hands of such man, keep him
if he wants say twice the wages that
some other buttermaker is willing to
work for The country is full Of
them, they will prove anything but
cheap in the end.

THE VALUE OF FICTION.

In recent conversation upon the
subject of libraries, Andrew Carnegie,
is said to have made the statement
that fiction should not be allowed upon
the shelves of public library until
it is from a year to three years old,
the idea being that in the meantime
much of it, doubtless the larger part
of it, would drop out of public notice.
Seymour Eaton in writing upon the
statement in the April Booklovers
Bulletin, says the idea is not new
one, that most public libraries of the
country say amen to the suggestion
and that some of the most famous art
galleries do not allow pictures to be
hung on their walls until they are
thoroughly weather beaten and musty.
But Mr.. Eaton dose not agree with
the proposition and he rather face
tiously remarks that the same thing
might as we'll be carried out in other
lines. That the public might be with
held from access to the daily news
paper until it is three days old. That
teaching and preaching be tied up the
same way, so that all new fads and
theologies can be properly bleached
and given chance to stand the test of
time. Public libraries, he says, are
not thought store houses. AS well try
TO pack and store sunshine.
If it is new book, says Mr.. Eaton,
it is the very newness which makes ii
all the more readable. There have
been one thousand books published
within a year all of which make ex-
cellent present day reading, hut hun
sdreds of them will be dry bones in
three years, not so much the fault OF
the books, he says, as the fault of the
world, which keeps on rolling. Three
years, continues Mr.. Eaton, will tesi
the book as to whether it is worth
preserving, but public libraries are
circulating affairs and not founded
simply to preserve books He further
holds that public libraries are fast
,ceasing to be merely circulating

Would Name Helm.

Pipestone Star: The writer on state
politics in the Minneapolis Journal
clerk of the supreme court, the second
district will see that J. L. Helm is re-
tanned as deputy. The writer might
have gone further and stated that if
the second district did its full duty, it
would demand the nomination and
election of j. L. Helm to the office OF
clerk of the supreme court. Although
he has virtually been the clerk for
years, he has never had the title.
There is not stauncher Republican
in the state than J. L. Helm, and not
one more competent or deserving the
honor of any position which the Re-
publican party can bestow. To keep
such man in a subordinate position
is shameful ingratitude.

libraries and are rapidly taking their
places among the educational institu-
tions of the academic type type The
leading spirits among Librarians are
college men whose whole point OF
view is educational and encyclopaedia.
AS to the progress of reading ne says
beginners read from the present
back into the centuries-today's news
paper, then the last magazine, then
the current book From this base line
the plodding is slow and sure back to-
wards the masterpieces. Mr.. Carnegie
and his librarians are trying to turn
things the other way about 1t simply
can't be done. We don't begin with
Shakespeare and Carlyle. To shut out
current liteature is to shut off the
spigot. The flow will cease. The
classics will never come within
reach. When we close the gate on
current books we wall up all litera,
ture. Current books are damned uI
against the gate and they must come
through first. When the public library
ceases to circulate new books it ceases
to be library for the people. -

INCOME OF 100000 600.
drediction of Prof. Hacker of State
Agricultural ColleQe.

Professor T. L. Hacker of the state
agricultural college, predicts great
things for the dsirying industry of
Minnesota. 1t will produce an income
of $50, 90, 5000 annually before long,
he says. He puts his prediction as
follows: The dairy industry in the
northwest is still in its infancy, and
we confidently look for even more
rapid growth in the future than has
been made in the past. The time is
not distant when Minnesota alone will
derive an annual income from this one
industry of $50. 900, 900. We will in
wade not only the eastern but the
foreign markets. We can produce bet
ter and cheaper butter than can De n
mark or any other country, for they
all must look to America, and especi-
ally to the northwest, for their feed
stuffs, and whenever we can convince
the western gaingrower that it is to
his advantage to convert his surplus
feed into butter, ship the more con-
centrated product, realize greater in
come and at the same time improve
the fertility of his farm, the change
will surely be made.
The grand total of our dairy pro.
ducts, according to the best estimates,
is $50, 900, 900.
This is most gratifying when it il
remembered that the industry in Min,
nesota is new, for in 1890 our cream
cries and cheese factories produced
only 50, 95s, 476.
What our standard was only two
decades ago is shown in an address by
Colonel King in St. Paul.
"With our climate, grasses an6
water, there is no reason why Mime
sofa should not rank among the very
first in her dairy product, and yet i
is not too much to say that the chess
and butter we now send to the market
of the country bring reproach and dis
grace upon the state And this dis
honor comes not from any necessit.
growing out of our natural conditions
but from the objectionable stupidit.
and neglected Indifference of those il
whose hands this great industry Ia
fallen.
"From the earliest settlement Of on
state there has been no time when
grade of butter rivaling in quality tn
product of jefferson and Orange coun
ties. New York, could not be mad
here. There is no reason why tn
dairymen of Minnesota should not g
into the markets of the great eastern
cities and successfully compete wit
the best products made. !"
Our butter is now without riva
in the very markets to which he refer
red, and the cost of transportation
not more, and in some instances less
than it is from points within the stat
of New York, Pennsylvania and Mass
achusetts.

The suggestion made at the meeting
of the board of trade Monday morn
ing that steps be taken to preserve the
present state of nature along Glen
wood Ave. in the drive to the ceme-
terry, is a good one and the board is to
be com uended for acting upon 1t.
Such chances for wooded park drives
are fast disappearing and where there
is an opportunity for one it should be
preserved. In this case, a few rods
back on each side of the roadway to
the top of the ravine is all that Is
needed. If left in the hands of
private parties there are apt to be
places along where the timber will be
cut off, and the side hill left barren,
desolate spot. If the city itself is un'
able to acquire the right to this pro
perty, that is a case where our citizens
ought to interest themselves and Sc
cure it and put the title into the
hands of the city, and let it be treated
as a public park. A very little atten
ton would preserve it in excellent
shape, and the aveune will grow more
valuable in every way as drive as TIT
years pass by.

Paige Morris, of Duluth, has written
letter announcing that he will not
be a candidate for reelection to the
house this year. The action of Mr.
Morris will be generally regretted by
the people of the state, and by the
people of his district, as he has be-
come most valuable member in the
house, and his influence another term
would be greatly extended. 1t would
be of great advantage to Minnesota, il
she could keep the present delegation
in the house unbroken in the nexi
congress The withdrawal of Con
gresham Morris will bring J. Adam
Bede forward as most prominen
candidate TO succeed him and the Du
luth district could go further and do
great deal more.

FREE DELIVERY FOR NEW ULM.

A Washington dispatch says: Rep
resentative McCleary had a consulta-
ton with postal officials today concer-
ing the establishment of free delivery
at New Ulm, MINI. The regulations
require that the receipts of postoffice
must reachrthe SO, 600 mark before
free delivery can be inaugurated. The
prospects are that New Ulm will reach
that figure by the end of the fiscal
year, and in that event free delivery
will be installed next fall.

ANENT STATE POLITICS.

Now that the Hon. 9. A. Smith, Of
Minneapolis. is fully understood to be
entirely out of the question as a can
didate for lieutenant governor, it Is
apparent that Ray W. Jones will have
the field entirely to himself 80 far as
Hennepin county is concerned. And
as it is generally conceded that Min
neapolis is entitled to name the man
for this place in the coming Republi-
can state convention, it may be reas-
onably considered as settled that Mr..
Jones will make the race for second
place, With Gov. Van SAINT as his own
successor.
Mr.. Jones is backed in his candidacy
by the undivided support OF the Re
publicans of Hennepin, since 1t has
become certain that Mr.. Smith will
not permit the use of his name.
While there will be widespread regret
that Mr. Smith has found it impossi-
BILE TO place himself in the hands OF
his friends at this time, his wishes
will be recognized and accepted by all
his friends, and no doubt support from
the country that would have been
thrown to him had he consented to
stand for the Office will be transferred
to his friend and townsman, Ray W.
Jones.
| Now that the attempt to create op-
position to the denomination of Cover
nor Van SAINT has declined into in
nocuous desuetude, coupled with the
seeming acceptance throughout the
state of Mr.. Jones, the state con
vention this year will not be one Of
very great strife. To be sure livley
contest will be waged on the state
authorship between Iverson and Hol
den, but if the fight is to continue tt

The following from the San Fran
cisco Call pointedly refers to ques-
ton that is prominently before con-
gress and is also engrossing much
public attention and is worthy of
close consideration. AS to the point
made of free trade in sugar with
Cuba, that feature is not up in the
present contest, as the matter centers
around a concession which the house
propose to make of only 90 per cent
The Call says: 1--WE now with much
accuracy that free trade for Cuban
sugar means the destruction of our
domestic sugar industry. We know
that it came into being by protection.
We know that it was the first signi6-
cant extension of protection to agri-
culture, and we know that the farmers
of many states have proftted by it,
and that it means the addition of a
new crop to the variety by which
they make living from their land.
Extension of protection to them was
an economic experiment that has be-
come demonstration. Why should it
be abandoned, to the injury of Ameri-
can farmers, in order that Cuba may
be delivered from hypothetical dis
tress2 Why not consider the interest
of the American farmer and make the
Cuban the subject of experiment
Why not let Cuba go on, organize her
government, take the independence
for which she fought and which we
gained for her, and wait and see
whether she goes over the hill to the
poor house by losing the chance to sell
one ton Of sugar in Spain to forty sold
in the United States2'
