nees. When the machine attempts
toeontrol conventions and primaries
1t exceeds its Legitimate functions,
shows ii has fallen into hands of de-
signing politicians whose only aim is
to perpetuste themselves in power.
Then the plain duty OF the party Is to
reorganize the machine.
We admit to being believers In ma
chine politics and believe the machine
should be composed OF the best and
strongest men in the party, which
means a strong organization. But
We are unalterably opposed to those,
into whose hands this power has been
placid, using it for their own sg-
grandiument. The rank and file of
theparty, like the people OF a nation,
should guard their liber les with ieal-
Gus care, against over ambitious
rulers.

How Shall HissOuh ShSV Hsspizlity7
Thequestion OF hostess for the Ms
souri, state building has been eOnsid-
cred informally b. the members OF
the Missouri Worlds Fair Commits
sion. The names OF several excellent
women have been mentioned il con-
nection with the position which, it
was supposed, has already been
created by the Commission. The
suggestion Is made. however, that
another plan be adopted instead Of
the regularly employed hostess. This
suggestion is to the effect that the
Commission invite as it's guest some
prominent and representative Mis-
souri, woman each to act as hostess
for week. Each hostess would be
permitted to invite two or three
young society women to be with her
and aid in welcoming visitors In
this way a hundred or more Missouri
women would be hostesses and the
generous hospitality OF the State and
it's grace and culture beshown. While
the plan has not been considered by
the Commission formally, it has been
talked over by some of the members
as possibly better than the regularly
employed hostess plan.

Proverbs

"When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

Danger to Creanneries.

State Dairy Commissioner Mcconnell
declares that he fears the cooperative
creamery business of Minnesota will
have to fight for it's existence within
the near future. We see indications
that great concerns are to be formed
in many of the large cities for the pur-
pose Of merging the dairy producers of
the state into single current supply
for centralized storage plant, These
concerns, he says, will go about the
business Of killing the cooperative
creamery by the, same means which
the other combines and monopolies
employed. They will offer larger prices
forsthe cream than the creameries can,
until the creameries are squelched, and
then it will have things in it's own
hands and will be able to dictate prices
to the farmers. A gentleman interest
ed ii one concern Of this kind told Mr.:
cConnell the other day that within
. year all the cream within radius Of
8 15O miles Of the twin. cities would be:
shipped to the secities for manufa facture.
Mr.. McC Connell says the dairy farmer
has got to face the problems and that
problem is largely in his: own hands.
If temporary seldshness blinds him to-
his own interests he will fall into the:
trap to destroy the cooperative cream
cry, and thereby deal . deathblow TO-

with Loren Fletcher, Joel Heatwole

Peterson was the very. same chap that
held up Fletcher in the election for
congressman last year and let in John
Lind. But you can bet all your old
shoes that there's hen on for the COM
in campaign. It looks like there mite
be lead for Peterson for congress and
Bob Dunn for governor and Heatwole
for senator. VanSant has turned down
his best friends in Mower county in his
recent appointments and lots Of 'em
think it is high time for new reel and
new push. The VanSant push at
St. Paul that made such arrogant
claims of what they did in the last cleo
tion and that cut into the recent
speakership racket in such dictato-
rial and offensive way are persona non
grata with lots Of the rank and file and
it looks like something different was

sharp enough to consult with his
