LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE.

The Slsyton Gazette received let
ter from its former editor, L. G. Herr,
who is now in Washington, and that
gentleman refers to Representative
McClaery as follows:
I am pleased to note that there is
no scramble among the Republicans
for Mr.. McClearys place. He is one
of the most influential members of
congress. His familiarity with all
subjects relating to national finance
and political economics enables him to
speak forcibly and intelligently when
ever the occasion demands it, and /
know that his advice and judgment
are frequently sought by his colleagues
who talk more but accomplish far less
than the Industrious painstaking and
gentlemanly representative of the
second district of Minnesota. Let
other districts in the state change
their representatives if they will, but
let the people of your district bear
in mind Uncle Marcus Hanna S
amended political campaign cry and
keep on letting we'll enough alone. /"
Mr.. McCleary's usefulness to the dis
trict and state will continue to in
Grease with his experience as q
natural legislator. To use slangy
expression, new members 'cut no
ice'' for several terms, as the older
some 'trule the roost." The leaders
in congress today all hail from dis
tricts which have reelected the same
members term after term. One needs
but take Maine and Iowa for exam
pies.
The large majority of the Republi-
cans of the second district are we'll
satisfied to 'let we'll enough alone"
and Representative McCleary will be
returned to his seat in congress this
fall by an increased majority.

The Renville Star Farmer takes
the state fair management to task
for sending to that Office large bunch
of copy, asking that liberal use of it
be made, and at the same time the
only recompense is a ticket to the
show. The Star-Farmer is of the
opinion that big institution like the
fair should pay for it's advertising.
There is some foundation forThe Star.
Farmers complaint and yet on the
other hand all the newspapers in the
state take pride in making the big
show a success by giving to the
management the space they do. It's 6
fact, though, that the printing offices
in the twin cities receive the benefit
of what work must be done aside from
the advertising. If the management
could give Offices outside the cities al
opportunity to do some of its printing
it would help great deal toward
eliminating such criticisms as ex
pressed by The Star-Farmer from tn
newspapers.

AGE OF LONGEVITY.

This is really an age Of longevity.
At forty most men are yet in the hey,
dey of their youth. At fifty they are
still springthly and fully able to cope
with the lads of twenty-one. Only q
few days ago Russell Sage celebrated
his eighty-sixth birthday and he is
still in a mental and physical condi-
ton to look after his vast interests.
James J. Hill is past the seventy mark
and his work in the world is nowhere
near completion. He has vast schemes
that are yet in incubation and years
will be required for their completion.
Young men can yet learn from their
elders how to do business and how to
carry to a successful conclu sion
ventures and enterprises that involve
not only money but brains, energy
and push. There are old fogies, it
must be admitted. but they are left
in the background while the onward
march of progress astonishes the
world.
Many of the statesmen are old in
years but young lin mind and body.
Their energy is only limited by their
desire to push things along.
Again. work Is found to the back
ground of all. The. man who keeps
his mind on work will have no time
to gather bodily ailments.
1t is really amusing to hear it said
that pupils are overworked in the
schools. An indolent teacher car
breed disease more quickly than an
energetic, forceful instructor car
break down the constitutions of the
young people in his charge. The
teacher who throws his soul into his
work sets pace for the scholars and
they apply their minds to theil
studies, forgetting those little troubles
that may perhaps afflict them during
their youthful days. They throw
them off and the result is the body
STRENGTHENS under the strong influence
that permeates the school rooms. They
grow up to become substantial mer
and women.

Why cit" was created :

An editor of theological tendencies
has solved the theory that the anti
imperialist was created to keep the
sponsibility and to inspire it's people
to keep close watch on those in
charge of the islands. By continual
buzzing and an occasional irritating
bite they not only teach the nation
patience but do not permit it to sleep
on it's watch. But like another kind
of insect which delights in gloom and
darkness, the anti-imperialist is apt to
be more productive of profanity than
patience, and may even inject pois
onous germs into the veins of the body
polite. Not even the oil treatment,
however, can keep. him down. st

The Free Press is in receipt of a
complimentary ticket to all the doings
of the 40tn anniversary of the Indian
massacre celebration at New Ulm,
Aug. % and "a. From the reports
sent out by the press committee the
celebration promises to be one of
great interest to the people throughout
this and the western section of the
state. Many men who engaged in
warfare against the Indians will be on
hand to tell OF the struggles that oc-
Cured and their stories will be soul
stirring indeed. New Ulm never does
anything by halves.

Rocking of the boat dangerous
sport:
The more that is heard from the
accident at Lake Jefferson, the more
we are compelled to blame the pro-
lessor in charge of the party and in
fact his conduct can be styled nothing
less than criminal carelessness. He
must have known the danger and
should have kept the party from rock
ing the boat and throwing water.
Harmless sport and sport that endang-
ers life he ought to have been able to
distinguish between. We have no wish
to add to the burden of any one but
we cannot refrain from expressing the
feeling that he is very much to blame
for the tragic occurrence.-L Sueur

Acting Mayor Jones has reached
Minneapolis and he gives it out that
the grafters both inside and outside
of the police department must 60.
Mayor Jones does not make any rash
promises, but it can be stated without
any fear of being compelled to take it
back that the acting executive of the
city will clean out the Augean stables
and the atmosphere will be purified.
Minneapolis has suffered much by the
scandals that have been the talk of the
country for months past, but she will
retrieve herself, never fear.

Hightstown, New Jersey. An anti
street flirting league has been formed
and the young men of the place are
looking sad. The young men declare
that old fogyism is at the bottom of it

congregate on the street corners and
when the sweet maidens passed by re-
marks were made the fair sex would not
object because those remarks were in

The young lads maintain that NO girl
will object to some man making re-

And this applies to Mankato as We

ana Gnls applles 10 ManKaGo as we'll
as Kansas City:
Weeds are not only obnoxious in
themselves, they beget other evils.
They foster slovenliuess. A big patch
of weeds in vacant lot or an alley
creates an irresistible desire in the
careless domestic to throw old tin cans
among them, to empty among their
concealing leaves the garbage that
should be carted away. Such things
have the germs Of contagion and
death. Besides, they are nasty, they
are part of the weed system. Nice
customs abhor them. A city to be
clean and wholesome and attractive
must be cleaned of pestilent things.
Citizens should cut the weeds Then
there will be fewer tin cans, heaps of
ashes and piles of rotting garbage to
mar the appearance and impair the
health of fine city.-Kansas City

Minnesota has no valid inheritance
tax law on the statute books. Judge
Bum of the Ramsey district court
holds that the law of 1901 is ,unconsti-
tutionsl, and as court decisions have
found flaws in the 1897 and 1902
laws, there is no inheritance tax law
whatever under which the estates of
rich men who die may be compelled
to pay tax into the treasury. While
an appeal may be taken to the su-
preme court, the latter body, lawyers
say, will sustain Judge Bunn's de-
cision. The ques ton was formulated
and brought before the court by Am,
brose Tighe of st. Paul, but the estate
involved was comparatively small

Sympathy for the miners ::

There is little question: where the
sympathy of the public will go in this
matter. The people who are now be-
ing asked to pay dollar or two a
ton more for coal because of the strike
will not be inclined to turn against
the miners in the present circum-
stances. The methods of the hard coal
trust have been arrogant and mono
polistic for years, and if the magnates
expect this outbreak of rioting to turn
sympathy to their side they will be
sadly mistaken. Cleveland Leader.
