Abercrombie Herald: A young man
at COmstOck took his girl out for a
ride-Sh fell out and he drove mile
before he discovered she was missing.
You can bet such thing would not
happen in Hickson. The horse might
fall out of the shafts and never be
missed-but the girl never.
Blue Earth Post: Prof. A. e. Tib-
belts conducted services in the NJ. E.
church at Elmore Sunday morning and
evening last. The Professor is an adept
at this and feels as much at home in a
clergyman's coat as when looking
serious at the numerous mischievous
boys in the high school.
St. Paul Farmer: J. C. Hawkins of
Austin, the president of the Southern
Minnesota Horticultural Society, is
quite enthusiastic in regard to the
duality and market possibilities Of the
LongGeld apple. In it's proper season
he finds it juicy and good flavor
ed as we'll as very attractive in ap-
pearance.
Mortified News: If you want to
give the "four bosses" of the Republl-
can party of Minnesota good hard
political chill just mention the name of
State Auditor Dunn in connection with
the gubernatorial nomination two years
hence. It will be remembered that last
spring The News stated that those who
aspired to the Republican nomination
| for Governor in 1904 would have to
reckon with MIR. Dunn.
Mapleton Enterprise: The Mankato
Journal has commenced publishing the
names of delinquent subcribers and if
all are Served like Chas. Henderson
they will pay up before the next chapter
goes to print We do not thin k much
Of this policy, but publisher is Justl-
fed in doing most anything with the
fellows who take paper for four or
FIVE years and then refuse to pay for it.
Slayton Gazette: What we call
trusts are simply large aggregations of
capital necessary to conduct the enOr-
mously increased volumes Of business.
There are many articles on which there
is a tariff that could easily get along
without it but many of those articles
are not affected as to price because OF
this tariff. It is doubtful if there would
be much change in prices IT all tariff
was taken off.
Kasson Republicans: The right of a
pedestrian on an established street
crossing over any vehicle whatsoever
except those of the fire and police de-
partments is absolute. Perhaps you do
not know it but you have no right if
you are driving to force any pedestrian
to stop and wait till you ego over city
crossing. You are the one who is sup
posed to stop; you are personally liable
for damages.
Dairy Record: The editor of the
Northwestern Agriculturist tries to
make the farmers believe that the
creameries must manufacture butter at
less than two cents per pound in order
to pay the patrons more than the Min
neapolis Cold Storage Company pays.
For the year 1901 the farmers cO.Opera'
tive creameries could have expended
I5b cents per pound in manufacturing
butter and still have paid more than
the Minneapolis Cold Storage Company
Minneapolis Tribune: The best of
the Great Northern bid for Philippine
traffic is that it is rousing all the trans
continental roads to vigorous competi.
tion. Here is new illustration of the
fact that merger only enlarges the field
and increases the energy of competi.
ton. Apparently Mr.. Hill is going to
make more trouble for the other two
transcontinedtal lines than the whole
five used to make for one another.
| Lester Prairie News: Free delivery
brings the farmer and his family into
touch with the town. The farmers
may sometimes, it is; ;true,- supply their
new, wants through the mail, but where
the country merchant is enterprising
enough to study wants of his patrons
he finds free delivery promoting the
extension of his trade instead Of cut
ting it down. The great majority OF
people prefer to buy from the place be-
fore them, if it fairly meets their wishes
rather than to deal with distant
merchant through the mails. !
:: Lime Springs Sun: Don't "give". the
poor people anything only a chance tc
work and earn what they eat. IfyOu
know Of any poor people hungry. in
Chicago, send them to Lime Springs
and let them work for a living at good
: wages. This office has beeu advertis
, ing for. man to saw wood for over a
month and can't find a man to do the
job at any price. This idea of giving
the poor people something is played
out. No healthy man has any need OF
being an object of charity in these
prosperous times. There. is work al
remunerative wages for all who will
! work, and we have no use for drOneS. .a
