A Grand Thing.

The tri-stat telephone company is
building first class, three circuit
copper toll line between the cities and
Grand Forks via Wi]lmar. This will
be grand thing for all the towns
along the line. The company promises
toll service at reduced rates and will
give connection to those towns that
have no connection at present. There
will be quite number OF independent
local. exchanges on the $500" line,
Hastings & Dakota line, and the Great
Northern that will be connected. The
service ia the twin cities will be furn-
ished by the Twin City company and
In Duluth by the Honith City company
The city council of Willmar has been
asked for permit to put in toll
station there. Altho the Bell tele-
phone monopoly will vigorously op-
pose the granting OF the permit, there
can hardly be any question but that
the council will readily grant the re.
quest. There is q good deal of dis
satisfaction in many towns in this
territory with the service furnish: d by
the Minnesota Central. A competing
company will therefore be q good
thing Benson Monitor.

1t Is not necessary for Gov. Van

a good machine and ito products are
said to be popular with farmers. II

have the satisfaction of knowing they

Bishop EdsaII on Divorce.

The divorce evil is taking such a
firm hold upon the people OF this
Country that it has resolved 1t self into
one of the great problems OF the day.
Bishop Edsall recently discussed this
question with great deal OF vigop,
saying that:
"The great evil which now threatens
our country does not arise from the
fact that our laws permit the separa.
ton OF man and vile for certain nee
essary causes but in the fact that re.
marriage is permitted to the parties
after their separation. 1t is in this
matter of remsrrisee that is found
most of the evils which are threaten
ing the destruction OF American fami-
ly life.
''Too often the trouble which causes
the separation between husband and
wife arises because there is q posi-
bility of marriage to some other it q
divorce ia obtained.
ut is an abuse OF the word to call
such a second reunion, or it may be
a third or fourth reunion, marriage.
The system is one of consecutive po-
lygamy. 1t is worse in morals than
the polygamy of Mormonism. The
polygamy OF Mormonism has at least
the redeeming trait that the husband
cannot escape from the responsible
ties which he has assumed in the sup.
port of wife and children.':

MINNESOTA BUTTER BRANDS
cresmeries Should Label Product, "a
Commits sioner Mcconnell Advises.

Minnesota butter is the best in the world
and brings the highest prices in the Chicago
and New York markets. In spite of this we'll
known superiority, Minnesota buttermakers
are receiving only the average market price
for their product
The reason for this, according to Dairy
Commissioner Nee onnell, is that the Mime.
sofa buttermakers have not learned the va
lue Of a brand. The best creameries in the
state sell their butter to New York commits
sion men, who put their own brand on it
and sell it to the select trade as "Smith's
Gilt Edge, or "Potter's Triple X" for prices
two or three cents better than the regular
market. The merits of Minnesota butter
make name for the brand and the skill of
the Minnesota buttermakers puts dollars
into the pockets Of the New York business
man.
MIR. Mcconnell makes a suggestion that
seems practical He wants the Minnesota
creameries to brand their own butter and
sell it under their own names, thus they
could make regulations for themselves, and
the extra prices az well as the glory would
come to the profit of the men who make the
"champion' butter.
Apparently the creamery experts Of Mime
sofa know how to make good butter. but do
not know how to sell it. They do not realize
what their product is worth, and of course
they cannot blame the New York dealers for
taking advantage Of the fact The New York
man knows that there is market for the
finest butter at premium prices and he knows
where to get the butter
1t certainly seems that this premium ought
to go to the buttermaker. II our Minnesota
brands, and combine to show the consumers
of the east the superiority of Minnesota but
ter, there is no reason to doubt that their
brands will sell above the regular market
price to the Wholesale dealers. The trade
will learn to call for the Minnesota brands.
and the commission men will he glad to
handle them. If necessary, it will pay the
minnesota crea,neries to maint ain an agent
in New York o look after heir int erests, and
see that they get the extra price of two cents
Il pound or so, for all the brands that are ell
titled to it.
This lit tie item of two cents Il pound is not
to be despiscd. The Minnesota creumeries
turn out 70 100000 pounds Of butter year
IT even one-third Of this product could 20
under special brands and bring two cents
above the market price it would mean $500.
600 wear to the progressive owners of the
fancy brands-half a million a wear sent ont
from the east to Minnesota.
Blue ribbons and diplomas for butter con-
tests are very we'll i'll their way, but $500,
600 4 year looks better. Other manufact ur-
ing plants seek to make money Oft their rep,l-
tations, and there is no reason why creamer-
les should be an exception. The good will ot
high grade creamery plant ought to bring
additional incune.--M nneapols Journal

That verdict against the Common

Ray Jones as Candidate for re-elec

Since he beef trust was formed the
price of beef has steadily gone up to
The consumer and the price made to
the cattlemen has steadily gone down
The cost OF butchering, transportation
and marketing is less, which goes to
show that the profit of the trust must
be greater. What q hold-up!" Yet We
are told by politicians like Secretary
Shaw that trusts are beneficial. He,
nor any other republican high tariff
enthusiast can give single instance
where trust has b. en- beneficial to

For eight years the republicans have
had absolute control of all branches
of government. The republicans de.
nounce trusts. Will any republican
say that any trust has been demolished
or that the masses of the people have
received any benefit from anything
the republicans have done to the
trusts? And IS 1t not q fact that the
lumber trust is benefited 81 thousand
for every thousand feet of lumber it
sells, and for which our readers con-
tribute? We are not so very sorry
for our farmer friends who pay So a
thousand more for the lumber they
buy who vote for such things
