the road, and by putting in a branch as
above, it would make a straight run
from Hay6eld to Winona off from the
main line. Whether it will be built or
not is conjectural, but the action of the

would indicate a contemplation of it's

Red Wing Republican,: IF the De.
mocrats had hoped to place in nomina-
tion certain candidates by writing the
names on the primary election ballot
they will be badly left. 1t has been
suggested that fifty Democrats or some
other number might get together and
decide upon men whose names they
would write on the ballots. That would
of course give those men the Demo-
cratic nomination and at the same
time save them the $40 for filing. But
such a thing can not be carried through
as there will be no blank space on
which to. write names. The printed
names will be close together. -,
Mankato Free Press: TO many this
is the most pleasant season of the year.
Especially is it SO in southern Mime
sota-the garden place of America,
the land that overfows with beauty
spots, the land thatis dotted with the
lakes and rivulets and the farms that
are Joy to their possessors. There is
no need for anyone to travel in foreign
lands in order to secure recreation and
much-needed rest. A tour through
Minnesota will refresh the mind and
body, please the dropping eye, and
cause it to brighten with the delightful
scene. Fair southern Minnesota, a land
filled full of prosperity, delightful
country, inhabited by an. intelligent,
liberty-loving people.
Pelican Rapids Press: It is mot un-
frequent that newspapers find them
selves unappreciated by the men whom
they have favored by their support,
column after column being published
in their favor, and yet such. favors,
when the test comes, are unappreciated.
When you find your home paper taking
no interest in you or your success,
when you find it keeps aggravatingly
silent when you think the editor should
tear his linen in your behalf, do not
work yourself into fever of anxiety
as to the cause, but just ask yourself
wherein have you placed the paper and
its editor under, obligations to use
space and energysfor you. ~
GAINESVILLE Argus: We heard=a pro
minent local republican give emphatic
expression to sentiments the other day
which ought to be pounded into the
heads of those who would seek to dis
rupt the party by making war on can
didates before the primary election.
Everything that is said derogatory to
candidate will rise up to plague the
party at the general election or in the
canvass following .,the primaries. If
these papers could only understand
that it lis their province alone to
eulogize their own man it would be
well, but when they go in to abuse of
their opponent they are simply playing
into the hands of the opposition and
weakening not only. both candidates
bnt the party as we'll.
Litchield independents: The most
bare faced dairy fake of the day is the
much advertised sdilution separators,
sold all over the country. They consist
of tin can with a mica slot on one
side, and perforated pipe to be placed
in. the center The milk is strained in
the can, and cold water equal in quaint
ity to the milk is added, being poured:
through the pipe. There is not single
merit in the contrivance. It raises
cream no better than common milk
can or deep setting can, and the skim
milk is spoiled by adding the water,
The cans cost 81 to SO, and are made
in Oberlin, 0. They are the veriest
humbug. It is strange that single
one of these fake contrivances is sold
but evidently the concern turning them
out is making a mighty good thing
selling cans at $4 to SO that cost to
make from IS cents to 81 So. 8 Il
Minneapolis Journal: The present
primary election spstem in Minnesota
was given the voter in order to enable
him to vote for the best candidate. If
it is not to be utilized for that purpose,
it is not worth what it costs. And yet,
we hear people saying that Mr.. So and
So is the best man for the place, but
I'm afraid he cannot be nominated, 50
Z think I shall vote for some one else.''
