AN exchange says that it may sound
a little startling, but it is said to be
true that more young men are learning
trades in the penitentiaries than out of
them, because parents are trying to
make clerks, doctors, lawyers and even
preachers out of material intended for
carpenters, blacksmiths and other
trades for mechanics. The trouble is
that boys are eager to avoid the labor
OF life, and are too anxious to follow a
calling that does not soil their hands.
This reminds us of the statement made
by Mr.. Knowles in his lecture here last
week, when he said that the Red Wing
training school was one of the best
schools in the State because it took
boys and girls and gave them practi-
cal education in manual arts as we'll as
imparting other useful knowledge to
them. In manual training our schools
are deficient. We should commence
with our children when they are in the
kindergarten and see that their hands.
their heads and their hearts are prop
erly educated.

By the way, what has become of the
old fire department that was to be re-
organized when the present council
came into Office? This is a very i'm
portant matter and one that it would
seem might be very easily disposed of
if the council would go at the matter
in the right way. Call in the boys and
have a heart-to-heart talk with them
and tell them what you can do for
them. The village will need their SER
vices the worse way some of these very
fine afternoons or evenings, and then
well, it will be the same old story, Ell?

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND in his re-
marks at the annual dinner of the Min
nesota Society of New York, given at
the Waldorf-Astoria in New York
City, recently in speaking of the future
of our own country said: II do not
want to be bellicose, but say this for
myself. AS sure as fate, although you
and I may not see it, the starry banner
will wave mistress over all the terri
tory from the Gulf to the Bay. There
will be no conquest, no war. The
hearts across the border are already
beating with love for US, and commerce
and agriculture are calling for es-
pousals." The archbishop said that
he had the greatest confidence in the
perpetuityofr America as the home of
human liberty, and that what every
American needs to insure this is con-
sciousness of ones own rights, which
should be demanded and sustained, and
secondly, a respect for the rights of

No More Evening PAPERS.

Under the new mail schedule the
evening papers from Minneapolis and
St. Paul do not arrive the same dav.
and no more five o'clock editions of the
twin city papers will reach Princeton
subscribers on the day of publication.
After the papers get accustomed to the
new mail schedule we may be able to
get an early afternoon edition of the
evening papers. The first few days af-
ter the change in the time card the
twin city papers were very scarce and
the mail service was much on the bum,
but it was all on account of giving the
mail clerk on the Sioux City and Du-
luth run too much to do. When he
would arrive in Duluth his car would
be full of unrouted mail and then in the
morning he would get a big installment
of mail and it was impossible for him to
route the mail for stations between Du-
luth and Milaca. He was given an as
sistant yesterday and the mail service
will perhaps be better now. The first
Minneapolis Journals since last week
made their appearance yesterday.

Local Option in Texas.

Out of the 236 counties in Texas, I'M
der that states local option law, lO4
have complete prohibition, IA restrict
the sale of alcoholic beverages to the
county seat or principal town, and only
So antsgeneral licenses. So rapid has
been the spread of anti-saloon senti-
ment in the State that, fearing the
enactment of a State prohibitory law
as the outcome, the more respectable
and law-abiding among the liquor men
are said to be "seeking to save them
selves by proposing as compromise
one of the most radical and rigorous
license laws''-to be operative of course
only in few counties remaining "wet"
or allowing sales at county seats
lever submitted to State legislature.
1t is to be noted that the. going t;'dry''
OF a great many counties at the last
election was directly attributable to
the defiant attitude of numerous saloon
keepers in refusing to obey the condi-
tions of the law regulating their traffic.
Like results are apt to follow similar
attitude on their part in other states.
The only real safety for respectable"
liquor traffic is in an alliance with the
citizenship which not only demands but
compels obedience to all the laws on
the statute book.-Pioneer Press.

The New Trade Route.

The main trade routes of the world
have not changed in 400 years. After
this long period a new worlds trade
route is about to be- opened between
Europe and Asia that can we'll be
named the Minneapolis-St. Paul-Seattle
route, or to express it briefly, the
Puget Sound route. It has been
created by Mr.: James J. Hill, and it
will turn the trade of Europe away
from the, Suez Canal and throw it
across the United States via Mime
apolis and St. Paul.
It has been impossible up to this
time to secure in the State of Mime
sofa an expression of impartial judg-
ment on Mr.. Hills great work for the
United States, and the Northwest in
particular. While congress has in
dulged in much of theory, while the
desirability of trade extension for the
country has been waged by the press,
it has remained for Mr.. Hill to single
handed open to this country new trade
routes that before he is long in his
grave will help to save our people
from business depression. Northwest

WHEN we think of Milwaukee we
associate that city with "the beer that
made Milwaukee famous" but beer is
not the chief product of manufacture in
that city. The value of Milwaukee's
brewery products last year was $40, $780,
zoo, an increase of eleven per cent over
1901. In metal working industries last
year Milwaukee produced nearly $780,
oOo,O0o, an increase of 1851 per cent
over the previous year. Then the great
beer emporium also turned out last
year over $26,000,00O in wearing ap-
parel, and over $24,O0O,O0O in leather
producing and working industries. An
other very interesting thing we find
about Milwaukee is the proportion of
arrests to the number of inhabitants.
From Investigations made by the
United States Department of Labor in
1880, Milwaukee makes a good record
as a law-abiding community. In the
number of inhabitants per arrest for
drunk and disorderly Milwaukee has
$50, ranking next to Minneapolis which
has lO2. In the number of Inhabitants
to each arrest for all causes Milwaukee
heads the list with 6O.3, with Minneap-
oils second with AZ.

A blizzard DELAYS Mall.

Owing to the blizzard which ragged
last Friday night. the roads. were
drifted SO badly that the rural mail
carriers were unable to make their
trips and none OF them succeeded in
getting over their routes. Ed, Clag-
9gett started out for Cambridge with
the mail but got as far as the Brook
and was obliged to come. back. Mr..
Winans was able to get through with
the Estes Brook mail as his route was
protected by timber much of the way
and the road was not badly drifted.
The carriers all started out Monday
morning with a good load of mail if
they did not get the morning mail they
used to from the Sandstone local. The
change in the running time of the
trains will make no difference with the
rural route delivery which will be
made the same as in the past, the car
riers starting out early in the morning.

The commercial club of Cannon Fall

The commercial club of Cannon Falls
has sent out circular letter to allthe
villages and cities of the State urging
concerted action and organization for
the enforcement of existing laws and
the advancement Of the material vel
fare of the municipalities of the State
The circular sets forth the fact that
most all interests in the professional,
industrial and civic life have organiza-
tions for the welfare and promotions of
these interests and organizations, but
the villages and smaller cities of the
State are going it hap hazard and
alone. A league Of this kind would un-
questionably be of great worth to the
cities and villages that might be asso-
ciated with it. There are great many
questions that might be considered to
very good advantage. The questions
of municipal ownership of electric light
and gas plants, the problems of SANTA
ton, quarantine, good roads, parks and
the many others could be investigated
and the league given the benefit of the
best ideas on the several topics. The
villages and cities of Minnesota are
urged to send representative to con-
vention to be held in St. Paul about
March Is for the purpose of forming a
permanent organization along the lines
indicated. It is suggested that the
representatives be the village and city
officials and also the officers of business
mems organizations, where such exist.

The value of straw as cheap material
for surfacing sandy and dusty roads is
too often overlooked by farmers and
road builders. This material is being
used to very good advantage by farmers
not onl y in this State but in many parts
OF the country where roads become
heavy and almost impossible for heavy
loads. We notice that out in the state
of Washington that the farmers of
Walla Walla county are using straw on
their roads. The farmers all Join
hands in contributing straw which is
placed on the roads to the depth of a
foot on the main thoroughfares of the
county and in this way the roads have
been wonderfully improved.
